Retreat to Paradise (2020) - full transcript

Oh, hi, that's me.

Hey.

Neil Terry.

Good to meet you.

Welcome to Fiji.

Thank you.

First time here?

Yeah.

Well, you have to
check out the island

while you're
working with Jordan.

Thank you.



So, how long have you been here?

Uh, four months.

I've been Jordan's
coach for four years.

So, when he decided to
come down here and recover,

I came along.

More of moral support
at this point I suppose.

Yeah, well he couldn't
have picked a nicer spot.

I can't believe the last
physical therapist left.

Jordan's had a hard time
adjusting to his injuries.

It's made treating him taxing.

Oh, well I'm here to help.

This is your room.

Wow.

This is great.



When you're ready,
Jordan's expecting you.

Oh, sure.

It's the
same thing everyday.

It's not rocket science!

Yes, Mr. Greer.

Every time I use
this shoulder it throbs in pain.

At the end of the
day, I need my rest.

Yes, sir.

Just make the
bed the way I want it.

Jordan.

Is that you Neil?

Yeah.

Who's this?

Miss Vaughn.

Please, call me Ellie.

You're the physical therapist?

Yes.

Did you lie on your resume?

- What?
- You don't look old enough

to be a decent
physical therapist.

Age doesn't mean
that I haven't studied

and worked hard to do my job.

Maybe.

The others were worthless
no matter what their age,

so you might have a point.

If you have any doubts
about my abilities...

Neil, we're good.

Is that your family?

Yes.

Do they visit here?

Let's get this out of the way.

My life, not your concern.

And you're not here to
be my friend either.

Your whole purpose in being
here is to get me moving

this arm again without
being in agony.

All right.

I have zero
confidence in your type.

So far it's been nothing but

a massive waste
of time and money.

So, why did you hire me then?

What?

If you doubt me
and my type so much,

why did you bring me here?

Because I've been in this
country for four months now.

Away from people
who know who I am,

so they don't see me like this.

I can't stay here forever.

Tennis is a year round sport
and every competition I miss,

money not earned.

I wanna go home, not live in
exile for the rest of my life.

That sounds like a goal to me.

Excuse me.

A goal.

Every patient I...
Don't use that word.

Uh, what?

I'm not your
patient, I'm your boss.

Everyone that I work with needs

to have a goal to work towards.

Well, congratulations,
we have a goal.

Now get working on it.

How about we start
with some exercises, so...

Not today, I'm busy.

Uh, uh, okay.

So, when should we...

Tomorrow morning, 11 o'clock.

Okay.

Looking forward to it.

Let's see.

Hey, Cynthia.

You made it.

How is it?

It's beautiful here.

Fiji is wow.

- Show me.
- Okay.

Here you go.

Not a bad gig, huh?

Mostly.

I met my patient today.

And?

He's, let's just say it's
definitely going to be work.

Sorry.

Every patient's got some
struggles to overcome.

You'll get him there.

Yeah.

So, what's going on back home?

Is that your way of
asking if I fed your fish?

They're fine, by the way.

No, I meant how are
things at the clinic?

They're settling down.

It's not the same
without you though.

Yeah.

Their loss, huh?

Although I envy this
private gig you've got.

Yeah, I owe you.

No, you don't.

But if you insist, maybe
you can fly me down there.

I have been working really hard.

I think you overestimate
what I'm being paid.

This may look like a
vacation, but it's not.

Hello.

I thought we could start
with an exam today.

You're not a doctor.

No, but it would help
me better help you.

Fine.

Let's go ahead
and take this off.

Here.

How often do you wear the sling?

During the day.

It hurts more without it.

Can you stand for me?

Go ahead and let your arm
hang down at your side.

Is that hurting?

It's not comfortable.

Go ahead and let your
arm dangle at your side,

and just rotate
in small circles.

What's next, blowing bubbles?

Bring your arm
up in a slow curl.

Pain?

There's always pain.

Are you taking anything for it?

Over the counter stuff.

And is it helping?

Not really.

The doctors won't prescribe
anything stronger anymore.

Can I check your shoulder?

Sorry.

I don't want you wearing those.

What, scrubs?

This isn't a hospital.

Just dress normally.

Okay.

Are you doing any
prescribed exercises?

They hurt.

Is that a yes or a no?

Just do your job
and get me well.

Sure.

Pretty certain I packed
my magic wand in here.

Hello?

Regina?

Jordan.

Oh, are you working
on your shoulder?

- We can come back.
- No, no, we're done.

What are you doing here?

I wasn't expecting you.

Dale sent me.

We have business to get done

and want our star client
back on the court.

Excuse me, we really
should get started.

I'm busy.

Regina works with
Jordan's agent.

- Physical therapist?
- Yeah.

This is Ellie.

Jordan, Regina just got in.

Why don't we get her settled,
you two can finish up.

Or maybe she could come back?

I'm starving, how about
we get something to eat.

Perfect, let's go.

Care to join us?

- No.
- Neil.

What, she has to eat.

I'm sure she has things
she's supposed to be doing,

and I'd like to discuss
some business with Jordan.

Thank you.

I really should start on my
plan for Jordan's recovery.

I'll come back later.

Tomorrow's fine.

Uh, before you go, can I
get your therapy records?

I thought you had those?

I received the ones from
when you were in the US only.

I mean, the records from
your more recent therapists.

It would help me get some sense
on your shoulder's recovery.

I'll have 'em sent to your room.

Um, Harper, Wang,
Rodriguez, Monroe.

Wow.

I have to say, Jordan,
when you get away,

you pick a nice place.

The downside is being
away from all the action.

Best thing you could do for
that is work on your recovery.

And Dale sent me
to keep you focused.

There's a lot of
tournaments coming up.

Gotta get you back in the
game and up your ranking.

When he's ready.

Of course.

But isn't it great, I
get to keep you company.

- Hm.
- And I'll also get to

keep you in the loop
on the business buzz.

Dale spoke with a few
of your endorsements.

They were getting nervous
about when you're coming back,

and we reassured them it's
just a matter of time.

No pressure.

They're happy, so there's
no need to worry for now.

I do keep thinking
that we should

push this as a comeback story.

Yeah, we're glad
you came down here,

but let's not forget
whey Jordan's here.

Of course, I want what's best
for you first and foremost.

Thank you.

I'm just excited
to have you home.

I just feel bad you're
here to babysit me.

Nonsense.

I'm happy to.

I bet.

Hey.

Hey, how was your day?

Only so productive.

Did you get a chance to relax?

Jordan's giving me
plenty of time to relax,

but I wanna get
going on helping him.

Well, I admire your drive.

So, why'd you take this job?

I'm sure you're
plenty busy at home.

I was.

But the clinic I worked
at had some layoffs.

Ah, so you're here
for the adventure?

Something like that.

Can I ask?

How do you manage Jordan?

I'm sorry, can I call him that

or should I call him Mr. Greer?

No, call him Jordan.

Um, you know, I've
coached Jordan for years,

and I've worked with
other players, too.

You know, some players have
big personalities and they love

the drama and the theatrics
on and off the court,

but you know, Jordan's
not like that.

He's, he's, he's different.

He's special.

How so?

You know, it's very easy
for these athletes to get

all the attention and you know,

the ego to only think
about themselves,

but he's not like that.

Look, I know it doesn't
seem like it now,

but you know, a
lot has happened.

He was injured
in a crash, right?

I mean, the details are sparse.

Were you in it?

No, I wasn't.

And he doesn't really
like to talk about it.

Anyway, to answer your
original question,

how do I deal with Jordan?

Um, I don't let
him push me away.

I can't help how he
reacts to a situation,

but I need him to trust me
so he can make progress.

Well, trust is a tricky thing.

Why?

Well, he has to
respect you first.

Any ideas?

Well, he sees you as a
professional, not as a person yet.

You know, he's had
plenty of people

that look at him as a
condition or a chart.

Let him see you're different.

I want him to get better, I do,

but I don't know him well
enough to know how to push him.

Especially since he's very...

How do I put this nicely?

I know.

It'll come with time.

Just give it a shot anyway.

I get that the
endorsements are slow, but.

Well, that's why
I insured my arm.

Right, but you can't
expect me to just dive in

and be instantly
competitive after an injury.

Yes.

All right, talk to you later.

I thought we could work on
some water exercises today.

Not today.

Well, we gotta start sometime.

Got your swimsuit on?

I've got a lot on my mind.

And there's always going
to be a reason not to start.

Wow, you're a physical
therapist and a life coach.

Come on, it'll help ease
the pain you're in, too.

How would you know?

Well, have you tried it lately?

I mean, the water feels great.

I'm working right now.

Well, you finished your
call and it's 11 o'clock.

So, I'm here.

Well, I'm really sorry
for the inconvenience,

but you work for me.

So, come back when
I feel like it.

Why did you bring me here
if you're unwilling to try?

Who says I'm not willing to try?

You say you wanna get better,

but you never make time
to do anything about it.

You've been here two days.

Don't you think
never is a bit much?

I came here to help you,

as I'm sure the other
therapists did before me.

But you keep blaming
everyone else,

but at some point, you have to
admit the problem isn't them.

Whatever.

I went over your
other therapist's files.

Your shoulder is getting worse.

I know!

Why do you think I fired them?

It's my arm, trust me,

I've noticed the pain
is getting worse.

When someone is going
through physical therapy,

generally their condition
either improves or worsens.

Wow, that's profound.

You wanna know what
the difference is?

- The patient.
- Don't use that word.

It's just the effort
you are willing to give.

You are far behind
where you should be.

Your range is motion is barely
better than your postop.

So, you either do the therapy
to strengthen the shoulder,

or you let it atrophy.

If you don't try and I
mean really work at this,

tennis will be impossible.

I don't appreciate
scare tactics.

I'm not trying to scare you.

One week.

What?

Give me three hours
a day for one week.

That is not possible.

You've spent months
without making any progress.

Why not try?

If you feel there's no
improvement, I'll fly myself home.

Fine.

Seven days.

Hey, is everything okay?

It will be.

Is he giving you trouble?

I can handle it.

Hm.

I just passed a soggy
therapist on my way over here.

Remember Kyle Carney?

Carney?

Yeah, you coached
him for two years.

That's right.

Remember how nobody liked him?

You said he never listened.

No, he didn't.

Not until that second year.

Then he went on to be
ranked in the top 10.

Yeah, then he dumped you

and brought in a
whole new entourage.

Yep.

But I didn't care, you know why?

'Cause he started to try.

He started to trust
and listen to people,

and once he did that, he went
on to become a better player.

And surprisingly, one that
was easier to be around.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I'm afraid that
you're doing the exact opposite.

Look, it's hard for
me to even listen to you

when I'm not even able to train.

Look, you haven't been
the same since the crash.

Okay, and nobody's expecting it,

but there's only so many
excuses we can all make.

It's not my fault
my shoulder's shot.

Oh, come on, we both
know that's not what it is.

Look, I'm not saying
this for my own benefit.

But if you said you wanted
to quit, I'd support you.

But something is holding
you back and you need

to figure out how to face
it 'cause Regina and Dale

and everybody else that
you've made commitments to,

they are waiting for
you to move forward,

for you to succeed.

But they aren't
gonna wait forever.

So, what happened to
focus on getting better,

and take all the time you need?

Okay, and you're taking
it, but you're not using it.

I don't know what to say or
how to help you get better.

Not until you want it.

So, just think about
what you're willing

to do to make that happen.

- Hey, Ellie.
- Hey, sorry to bug you.

I'm just making
dinner, what's up?

I need some help.

With what?

Battle plans for my patient.

That bad?

I need a strategy.

What have you got so far?

Well, the treatment
isn't the problem,

but I need to figure out
a way to keep him engaged.

So, you can do that.

I don't have a lot of time.

He's the type that
expects instant results

without lifting a finger.

Ooh, bad combo with an injury.

Yeah.

Well, get him out of the gym

or wherever you have
him doing therapy.

Well, so far,
it's been his suite.

Maybe he needs a
change of scenery.

I swear that's half
the reason people

dread coming to do their PT.

The drab clinic isn't something
anyone looks forward to.

There is nothing drab
about his surroundings.

Oh, but maybe, maybe
you have a point.

Good, you're nearly on time.

I thought we were
doing physical therapy?

We are, get in.

Day one.

Don't waste it.

Good luck.

Great, a field trip.

Come on.

Ah, not during therapy time.

Hey.

Keep up.

There's nothing
wrong with your legs.

You're gonna waste your
first day with a hike?

Stop complaining.

We're almost there.

- What is this?
- It's a waterfall.

We have a pool
back at the resort.

That you never use.

It's peaceful here.

Just give it a chance.

It's peaceful
back at the resort.

This is cold.

Too much
or can you handle it?

Now what?

When you're used to it, just
come over here to the center.

Ah, it's like ice.

Hardly.

But if you think so,

it'll help with the
inflammation in your shoulder.

All right, let's try and float.

Just lean back for me.

All right, there we go.

Just try and relax.

I got you.

Okay.

There we go.

How did you find this place?

Google.

Was that a smile?

No, it was smirk.

Oh, it's the closest
thing I've seen to a smile,

so I'm gonna count it.

All right, at your own pace,
just bring your arm out.

Nice and slow, good job.

Make a fist and
rotate left and right.

Not too hard?

A waste of time.

All right, stand up.

Okay.

Bring your arms out,
keep 'em extended

and pull them together
in front of you.

Good.

Now pull them apart again.

Nice and slow.

Let's do 10 of these.

How about five?

You're funny.

You can do it.

Were you a drill sergeant
before you came here?

Hardly.

I was a dancer.

Dancer turned therapist.

Why?

I was on the dance
team in college.

I was going across campus
one day after a winter storm

and I slipped and
broke my leg badly.

During rehab I had a
really great therapist

and she was the best.

What's her name,
maybe I should call her.

Well, she not only helped
me regain the use of my leg,

but she also helped me
get my confidence back.

You never went back to dance?

No.

I mean, I still love it,
but I love this, too.

Okay, I've done way
more than 10 of those.

Um, you're right, yeah.

Let's do a different exercise.

My shoulder feels worse.

It's normal if it
feels a little sore.

It's your muscles
strengthening and recovering.

That's what they all say.

Hey, don't judge just yet.

Six more days.

How'd it go?

Hard to say.

Are you hungry?

I'll show you my
favorite place in town.

Sure.

This is my favorite
spot for the local eats.

Get your lolo buns, your kokoda,

your cassava cake, your topoi.

I don't have any idea
what you just said.

You'll love it.

So, why did you come down here?

Jordan's my responsibility.

Yeah, but, it's a long
time to be away from home.

Well, my kids are grown
and doing their own thing.

My wife passed a few years
ago, so just me to worry about.

Besides, I like to think I
keep Jordan outta trouble.

Is there anything else
you'd rather be doing?

Hm.

Well, I've seen a lot of
places with tournaments.

You know, matches in
Europe, Australia, wherever.

It's a lot of travel,
lot of moving around.

It's nice to be settled
here for a while.

That's a good attitude to have.

It's not like
we're here forever.

True, especially for me.

If he doesn't start
feeling better soon.

I might be home before I
need to do laundry at all.

I think you surprised him today.

It's a good thing.

Thanks.

So, what do you have
planned for him tomorrow?

Yoga today.

No, just a place to sit.

Ah, have a seat.

Want one?

How does this help
with my recovery?

Before we start, I wanna
learn more about you.

- Me?
- Mm hm.

Didn't you at least
research me when I hired you?

Well, sure, but
that doesn't mean

I know much about you
except that you play tennis.

Okay, what do you wanna know?

Why tennis?

I played it as a kid, my
parents were supportive,

and I kept at it.

High school?

Yeah, I played then, too.

I was invited to play in
junior world tournaments.

Ah, that sounds impressive.

Yeah.

Got a scholarship in college.

And then you went
pro after that?

Yeah, but it takes a lot more
effort than you might think.

It's not like
basketball or football

where there's like
drafts or anything.

What'd you do then?

Ah, got lucky.

Got some endorsement deals.

Small ones, but they were
enough to cover costs,

and I joined the Tennis
Association, got a coach...

Neil?

Not back then.

He came later.

I just started traveling
to tournaments, competing,

and now I'm here.

Did you ever doubt
the going pro thing?

Yeah.

For six months in college
I wondered if I was wasting

my time on something
that might not pan out.

What'd you do
during those months?

Studied to be a lawyer.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I found out pretty quickly
though that competing

on a different court was
a lot more fun than law.

And is it still fun?

Used to be.

Ah, the wreck changed things.

That's surprisingly good.

Come on, let's get
to some exercises.

You're cruel.

How does your shoulder feel?

- Sore.
- As sore as yesterday?

- No.
- Jordan!

There you are,
where have you been?

I've been looking for you.

Physical therapy.

I have really good news.

Sand Raven, the
tennis grip company...

Yeah, yeah, what about 'em?

They want you to
do an ad campaign.

Regina, I can't play.

Don't worry, I will talk
you through it over dinner,

but this is very good for us.

See you tomorrow.

Yeah, okay.

They're licensing footage

from your last
couple tournaments.

Cutting them together to
make an amazing commercial.

You don't have to
film anything new.

No pressure.

Great.

Eventually, they'll
want specific spots,

but we have time for that.

How much time?

Don't worry about it.

Dale and I, will worry
about the details.

You just focus on
getting better.

Sand Raven's gonna send
over the ad spot soon.

They'll need you to do a
little voice over for it.

Sure.

Isn't this great?

It's seven figures
over three years.

I mean, that's not bad.

No, it's great.

Thank you, and to
Dale, too, of course.

I'll tell him.

How was therapy today?

A little different.

Should I check around,

see if there's a better
therapist we can fly in?

No, I'm gonna give
Ellie a few days

before I make a decision.

Oh.

So, she's helping?

Uh, I'm not sure yet.

I mean, is your
shoulder feeling better?

It's hard to tell.

How's your dinner?

It's fine.

Want a bite of mine?

Uh.

Thanks.

Hey, I thought that'd
get your attention.

The view is amazing.

I thought you'd like it.

How's your patient?

He's getting better.

Well, hopefully on
multiple levels.

Otherwise, I'll need
to find a new job.

Which you know, would be
difficult back home right now.

It'll work out.

Hey, can I call you back?

Sure, later.

Sorry, I didn't
mean to interrupt...

Oh, you're fine.

So, Jordan seemed amiable today.

Yeah, yeah, we had
a decent session.

Yeah?

He told me a little
bit about his career,

and how good is he, really?

You don't follow tennis, do you?

No.

Uh, he was in my opinion,

on his way to being top
10 before the wreck.

In the United States?

In the world.

Oh, wow.

No pressure.

Talking about for
yourself or for him?

Uh, both.

So, do you think
he'll fully recover?

What did his doctor say?

Cautiously optimistic prognosis.

I think he can, but
only if he works hard

and sticks with it.

Just hope he gets
back to where he was.

I think I've seen
more of this country

these last few days than the
entire time I was here before.

The water's so calm here.

Yeah, that's why I picked it.

It shouldn't jar your shoulder.

Our sessions should
help, of course,

but there are some exercises

that you should be
doing on your own, too.

So, I'm gonna teach you

a few things on top of what
you've already learned.

Homework?

You're a smart guy.

I think you can manage it.

You ready?

- Yep.
- All right.

Good.

The water should provide
just enough resistance

to make your shoulder work.

Just enough, it
feels like plenty.

Okay, you can relax now.

Don't you love this?

You don't travel much, do you?

Not to places like this.

I mean, the closest I come
to it, is a lake back home.

My dad would take me there
to fish over the summer.

Fishing?

I love it.

Whenever we can, we
still try to fish.

All right, let's do another set.

Come on.

Either of your parents
in the medical industry?

Well, my dad's a dentist.

Does that count?

Not really.

You know, he was
in a car accident

a couple years ago, like you.

He wasn't officially my
patient for rehab or anything,

but he was the worst.

I mean, parents do
not like being told

by their children what to do.

He recover all right?

Yeah, completely.

Everything changes in a second.

I was on my way to the airport.

It was slick out,
raining that night.

Bus just couldn't stop in time.

Crunched me pretty good.

Those surgeries were brutal.

That type of trauma will be.

Everything has moved
just so slowly since then,

and the pain...
You will get better.

If I stick to the
exercises, right?

You don't believe me?

I want to.

It's just that you can't
blame me for wondering

the what-ifs and such.

What if this never
gets back to normal?

We did the beach
thing yesterday.

This is a little different.

Look, there they are.

Whoa.

Pretty amazing, right?

Yeah.

I like how slow they move.

Why?

Because it doesn't stop
them from getting somewhere.

Come on.

Kind of a different life, huh?

Hanging out on the beach,

swimmin' in the
ocean, eating seaweed.

It's not bad.

They eat seaweed?

I'm guessing.

You know when they're first
born, the baby turtles have

to make it out to the ocean
without getting eaten.

You just made that up.

No, no, they have
a lot of predators;

Birds, lizards, snakes.

They risk it just to make
it out to their home.

You'd think the little
guys would just hide out.

Well, they can only
hide for so long.

Sooner or later, they
have to start living.

Sounds risky.

It is.

They still try though.

That's easy for you to say.

You don't have to worry
about getting eaten

on your way to the water.

You win.

What?

I'm removing the
deadline, you can stay.

Thank you.

And I'll do whatever I
need to do to get better.

That's, you won't regret it.

I highlighted some
terms of the deal,

but it's pretty boilerplate.

Dale and I already went over it.

Just need your signature.

Oh, it's
a little dead fish!

- Right there.
- Great.

- No.
- Let me see if there's

- anything else.
- Definitely not.

Ah, Jordan's
gonna be so jealous.

I thought we could talk
tournaments and events.

What?

Just as appearances to keep
you relevant and all that.

No play, but here's what
I think you should go to.

Okay, what's coming up?

You're doing good.

Nothing wrong
with my legs, right?

Just pay attention to any strain

that runs up to your shoulder.

So no sprinting?

No.

Do you want me to stay
to make sure that you...

No, no, I'm almost done.

Where are you off to?

An early dinner.

Well, enjoy.

Do you wanna come?

Sure.

Oh, here it is.

- This is your meal.
- Thank you.

- Enjoy.
- Thanks.

Try it, you'll like it.

I usually eat the resort.

Well, they have local
flavors there, too.

Yeah, but I can easily
read them on the menu.

So, where do you usually live?

I have a place in Florida.

Mm, complete with
your own first class

tennis court in the backyard?

Not quite.

You know, I wasn't
always a tennis pro.

I actually come from a
very normal situation.

My normal or your normal?

- I grew up in Iowa.
- Oh, wow.

That does sound
strangely familiar.

Is your family still there?

My parents.

Oh, did they come out and
visit during the recovery?

I'm sorry, I only ask
because it sometimes helps

to have family around.

They wanted me to move
back to Iowa, but I,

I just didn't have enough time.

Yeah.

But you came down here, though.

Is this an interrogation?

I'm sorry.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't of, uh, it's
just that I really hate

talking about the hospital
and recovery and everything.

Yeah.

It was horrible.

Is that why you
didn't like it when

I wore scrubs and referred
to you as a patient?

Yeah, maybe.

Ah, I just don't
wanna be some label.

I know that.

We're all more than
what we do for a living,

or what circumstances
we're going through.

I'm sorry if I ever
made you feel like

you were just a patient.

Oh, no, you didn't.

Not really.

I shouldn't have barked
at you like I did.

Especially because I
think you actually care.

I do.

Thanks.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Did you go out?

Yeah, with Ellie.

Were the other
therapists like her?

They were as skilled.

I never gave 'em much
of a chance, did I?

Maybe not, but she's
definitely different.

Regina says you're starting

to make plans for
upcoming tournaments.

She thinks it'll be
good to be seen at them.

You think she's right?

Definitely sends a signal.

But it's your decision.

Yeah.

Thanks, Neil.

How much longer?

Three.

Two.

One.

You okay?

Yeah.

Let your arm
glide back and forth

underneath the water
to loosen it up.

So, what do you around here
when you're not tormenting me?

Read, swim, a little
bit of exploration.

You should enjoy the resort.

There's a ton of stuff to do.

Well, what do you recommend?

Paddle boarding, um,
you can get a massage

at the spa, tennis, of course.

You ever play?

No.

Dance was as far as
I went with sports.

Oh, that has to change.

Really?

Yeah.

Ah, here we are.

All right, server squares.

- These ones are for doubles.
- Okay.

- Hey.
- Thanks.

Playing already?

Ellie knows
nothing about tennis.

No, I did not say that.

There are rackets and nets.

You see what I mean?

So, do I just uh, swing this?

All right, hold on.

Let me show you how
it's done first.

- Okay.
- All right, so hold it out.

- All right.
- Right, okay.

Go up.

- Don't let your wrist break.
- Okay.

Out vertical like that, okay?

All right.

All right, your grip
isn't quite right.

- Up a little bit.
- Like that.

- All right.
- Very nice.

When do we start
hitting something?

Okay, whoa, let me show
you how it's done first.

Wait a minute.

Hang on.

It's fine, it'll be fine.

Neil, can you help us out?

Be careful.

You ready?

Ready.

You okay?

Yeah, it's worth it to show you

how to properly hit a ball.

Yeah, no more for you.

I think I'm ready.

This one's for you.

That cleared the fence.

- Okay, so what I mean.
- Okay.

What is, what am
I doing wrong here?

- You...
- You gotta show me.

I mean, go ahead
and throw it at me.

Where do we start?

Do we, how much time do we have?

That was good.

- Try it again, try it again.
- Okay, okay.

- Okay, all right.
- All right.

Okay.

That, that cleared the fence.

So, a little less power, right?

- I mean...
- A little less.

- Stop working out.
- Straight.

Hey.

Wow.

Don't quit your day job.

Ah, yeah.

There is no future
in tennis for me.

Hey, who's that in
the video with you?

Jordan, the person
I've been working with.

My boss or patient, whatever.

So, how's he coming along?

He's getting better, stronger.

Is he playing tennis already?

No, no, that was,
that was just for fun.

Fun, interesting.

So, Jordan is growing on you?

Uh, I try not to think
about him in that way.

In what way, romantic?

No, no.

No, I didn't, I didn't say that.

Um, so, how, how are
things going with you?

Nice subject change.

Give me a break.

Knock, knock.

Hey, Regina.

Hungry?

I ordered us some dinner.

Oh, thanks.

It was just this
amazing conglomerate

of colors and I loved it.

And if I had been smart,

I would've bought
the painting then.

But of course, someone
snatched it up years ago.

And the gallery has moved since,

so I can't even track
down the other buyer.

I'm sorry, I have
been talking nonstop.

It's fine.

I forgot, you're not
much of an art fan.

Well, not as much as you.

But art's you know, great.

You know, the
Louvre could be fun

to visit when we go to France.

Maybe we should make
time for it together.

That's a ways off.

I mean, I don't even
know if I would quality

with all my absences...

Even as a spectator,
it'd be fun.

Maybe you'll be ready by then.

I'll talk to the therapist,
see what she thinks.

Well, why don't we
just play it by ear?

Okay.

Were you a pool
shark in another life?

Yeah.

Just had a lot of time
on my hands lately.

So, my skills have improved.

When Jordan gets well,

are you looking
forward to going back?

Uh, we'll be traveling you
know, tournament to tournament.

It's been nice to be
settled for a while.

How about you?

Oh, I don't know.

I don't have it all
figured out back home,

and I'd have to find a new
job, which might be tricky.

Hey.

Hey, guys.

I thought I'd get out for a bit.

Do you wanna come
with me, Ellie?

Uh, sure.

Not bad, huh?

It's beautiful here.

Have you been to
this spot before?

No, but I can use Google, too.

I hear the sunsets are gorgeous.

Ah, I should have brought
a fishing pole for you.

- You ever fish?
- No, no.

Yeah, when your arm gets
better you should try it.

You'll have to show me.

Neil and I were talking about
what we'd do when we leave.

Are you looking forward to it?

Yes.

Now that didn't
sound like a yes.

I wanna go home, I do.

I wanna keep playing
and competing,

I just know it
won't be the same.

And why not?

Do you think part of the
reason why you never went back

to dance is that you
were just scared that

it wouldn't be the same as
before you broke your leg?

Maybe.

And looking back,
do you regret not

continuing your dance career?

Sometimes I miss it.

Being excited from
the rush of performing

and the creative side of it,
but I had to make a choice.

I don't, I don't
think dance would have

made me any happier
than I am now.

You're lucky the choice
was made for you then.

You know, the injury
wasn't the choice.

It was what I did after that.

And you're at that point.

Do you not wanna
play tennis anymore?

No, it's not that.

Are you afraid to go back?

You know, things
like car accidents,

they happen all the time.

You never think it'll be you.

It was my sister's birthday.

I was treating her
to a trip to Paris.

She had always wanted to go

and our flight was
leaving that night.

She was in the car with me
on the way to the airport.

There were three
of us in the car;

Me, my sister and the driver.

I'm the only one who made it.

I didn't understand why
you isolated yourself here,

but I think I do now.

There is nothing wrong with
needing time and space.

I just, I can't go back and
pretend everything's normal.

You don't have to pretend.

Yeah, but you've been putting
yourself through this alone.

When was the last time you
talked to your parents?

Anna's funeral.

That's my sister's name.

Did I say that?

We, we always got along so well.

Maybe it had something to do
with her looking up to me.

I was proud of that.

It made me really wanna
look out for her, you know?

And I wanted to.

I bet she was proud
to be your sister.

I don't know.

Is there a reason why you
haven't talked to your parents?

It just seemed easier not to.

Enough time has passed, I.

Maybe they can help you
figure out what to do next.

I'll think about it.

Hello?

Mom.

Jordan?

Hey!

Hey.

Can I talk to you about Jordan?

What about him?

He's acting different.

Yes, we can thank
Ellie for that.

Where is she from again?

Some clinic back in the states.

Do you know which one?

Oh, I don't remember.

I hadn't heard of it.

You know, we looked
up the best therapists,

and she, she frankly just
doesn't seem to be up to par.

Well, we've been through
some of the top therapists,

and I don't know
how she compares,

but she's the right one for him.

As long as she can get
our boy back in shape.

Shoulder's definitely
getting less sore.

Good.

Dale will be
thrilled to hear it.

Mr. Greer, I'm so sorry.

I'll get this cleaned
up right away.

It's fine.

Don't even worry about it.

I'll help you out.

Can I join you?

Sure.

What drew you down here?

I was walking by and
saw you sitting here.

I thought you might
want some company.

You're not
wearing your sling.

Yeah, I thought I'd give
it a test run without it.

Huh.

Don't look so victorious.

I'm just happy for you.

What?

You know, if you
wanna get up and dance,

no one's gonna stop you.

It's one thing
to get up on stage,

but a totally different
thing to dance

whenever and wherever
you feel like it.

And here I thought
you were fearless.

Ah, not at all.

Well, that's too bad.

I'm just saying, I would have
liked to have seen you dance.

Nice save.

Fine.

Would you like to dance?

Is this another strange
physical therapy session

to get me to move my shoulder?

No.

Okay, but don't
expect the tango.

Here.

Is that okay?

Your shoulder can handle it.

Yeah, I'm sure.

You're stronger than you think.

Sometimes I wonder if
it's the therapist talking

or someone else.

Either way, I mean it.

It's not some line to
keep you motivated.

I talked to my mom.

It was brief, but good.

Certainly overdue.

How is she?

I'm not sure.

She was so weepy, I had a
hard time understanding her.

I was making it worse though,
by keeping my distance,

for my parents and for me.

Ah, maybe I'd already be
better if I hadn't stayed away.

Well, at least it gave
me a chance to come here.

Exactly.

How bad can a job be here?

I don't just mean
the tropical paradise.

Sorry, I think that's
my friend, Cynthia.

Uh, you can call her back.

Ah, okay.

Thanks for the dance.

You, too.

This place again?

I thought you liked this place?

I do, I'm just
giving you a hard time.

Hey, don't get too comfortable.

Exercises first.

Killjoy.

And I brought weights.

Wow.

There aren't a lot of people
I can be around and not talk.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, it does.

There's always someone who
wants to fill the silence.

And you just think,
please stop talking.

Is that partially why
you like being alone?

I don't, actually.

I mean, I don't mind
it, but it's just nice

when someone can be in
the same space as you

and not feel the
need to jabber on.

So, thanks.

For not talking?

You know what I mean.

You know, the irony
is you interrupted

a perfectly quiet
moment to tell me that.

Okay, now you're
just ruining it.

I take it all back.

Are you laughing at me?

Yes, I think you can handle it.

Oh!

Hey!

Oh, you dare splash me?

Well, you started it.

Hey.

Oh, oh, oh!

- Oh, my gosh, are you okay?
- Oh, ow.

Aw.

You liar.

Liar, oh!

Stop it.

Morning.

- Morning.
- Can I join you?

Hm, please.

Can I ask?

Does Jordan, is he
in a relationship?

No.

Do I get to ask why
you're bringing this up?

We, there are
moments when I, I um,

come on, this is strange
territory for me.

Why, he's a man, you're a woman.

You two have a
relationship developing.

But I'm also his
physical therapist,

which sounds even
worse out loud.

If I worked anywhere else.

He brought you down
here to help him recover.

There's no forms or
contracts or policies,

whatever, beyond that.

Well, it's still a job.

I mean, what if he
just likes the idea

of having someone
listening and helping him?

Well, that's half of
what a relationship is.

Finding someone who
understands you.

Look, you two have evolved
beyond this being a simple job.

Now, it'd be different if
his feelings were one sided.

Of course I have
feelings for him.

I like him, I do.

I mean, not at first.

I wanted to pack up and go.

But you didn't.

You stayed here and
helped him recover,

and because of that, you've
seen who he really is.

If I let myself
go down this path,

it ruins everything
else, our friendship...

It's a myth.

Well, it certainly ruins

my role as his
physical therapist.

Ruin is too strong a word.

Maybe it grows into
something greater

if you're willing to risk it.

Well, what about him?

You know, before today I
hadn't seen him so happy.

Or act as carefree as
he acts around you.

Not since Anna.

And no, before you say
anything, it's different.

He doesn't treat
you like his sister.

You two have something special.

What about Regina?

Oh.

That's what I call
a one sided pursuit.

You know, even so, there are
things that she's not willing

to tell Jordan
about how she feels.

Because it might not work out,

and it could spoil her career.

Maybe.

See, that's just it for me.

I could be risking
the same thing.

It's true.

But sometimes love
requires a sacrifice.

From Mr. Greer.

Thank you.

"Beach tomorrow.

"I'll take care of everything."

"Leave your bag
of tricks behind."

"Jordan."

Look at you.

No sling?

Progress.

You've been working hard.

Oh, I can thank Ellie for that.

Dale called, Sand
Raven wants to plan

their campaign with your return.

So, we just need some dates

for what tournaments
you wanna play.

I wouldn't even know what
to tell 'em at this point.

Does Ellie?

I mean, it's her job to
get you playing again.

Look, I just think it's
too soon to even know.

We gotta give 'em somethin'.

Why?

It's one of their conditions.

If you're not back at
play in four months,

racking up points, they can
pull out of the contract.

Four months, I
never agreed to that.

It's been slim pickins, Jordan.

I mean, Dale doesn't make
a commission off of zero.

Look, I'm sorry, I
know that's harsh.

But the truth that no
one's telling you is that

if you're not back by then,
then you're done anyway.

All right, I'll call
Dale when I get back.

Back, no, Jordan,
this is important.

It's fine, it can wait.

I hope you don't get seasick.

Oh, I don't.

Hey, is that
everything I ordered?

- Yes, Mr. Greer.
- Thank you.

You sure you don't want
me to bring anything?

Just you.

All right.

What is this place?

Private island.

Please tell me you don't own it.

I don't own it.

What can I do?

Nothing today, just relax.

I'll admit, I did not pack this.

I'm sure it's fine.

Yeah, there's no
way I'm eating that.

You're mister travel the world,

I thought you would try crazy
delicacies all the time.

I'm not that adventurous.

But you should
totally have some.

Nah, I'm good.

Besides, I'm a simple girl.

I like that about you.

Being simple?

No, it's a good thing.

It's easy to get
caught up in all

the fast pace and the
flashiness of competition.

It, it changes people.

But not you.

I'm sure it has,
but I can still tell

the difference between
people who are real

and those who are
caught up in what's not.

Anna was always good at that.

She uh, she would always come
to my competitions near home,

and point out the peacocks.

Peacocks?

Yeah, all glitz,
but nothing real.

She'd make it fun, too.

It'd keep me from getting

too wrapped up in
being competitive.

It sounds like she
kept you grounded.

She did.

- Wow.
- Wow, beautiful.

Oh, I love the color.

What are they?

Are you asking
me or quizzing me?

Asking.

Well, they're hibiscus flowers.

You know, I've seen
these things everywhere

and I've always
wondered what they are.

Well, you know, you
could have asked someone.

I just did.

They stand for
beauty and perfection.

A therapist and
a horticulturalist.

No, I asked the
concierge at the hotel.

Here.

Thank you.

It suits you.

Thank you for coming
with me today.

Oh, of course.

You didn't have to.

I wanted to.

Come on.

Yes.

What is it, uh, I know.

Ah, look, a crab.

Oh, it's cute.

I dare you to pick it up.

Ah, not that cute.

Ah, I think this is my
favorite spot in all of Fiji.

Yeah, it is beautiful, isn't it?

This is still Fiji, right?

Yes.

You know, we still haven't seen

the sunset at the pier though.

Well, we'll have to go sometime.

Definitely.

Hey look, there's a starfish.

Come on, let's check it out.

Careful.

Whoa.

Jordan, maybe we should stick

to the sandy part of the beach.

It's okay,
I'm almost there.

Jordan!

Neil?

- What's wrong?
- Uh, Jordan's hurt.

What?

Yeah, he was out with Ellie,
he slipped or something.

What did she have him doing?

I don't know.

I gotta go.

Stupid, stupid, stupid!

I don't think it's broken.

No, probably worse.

I wanna do a scan to see

if it's impacted
your original injury.

I'm not gonna sit in some tube

rigged to a backwards microwave.

It'll be okay.

How would you know?

You gonna tell me you've
been through this, too?

Just get the scan, Jordan.

Fine, let's get it over with.

Okay.

Ellie Vaughn.

Hello?

Hi, is this the Shelley
Park Therapy Center?

I'm sorry.

We'll still get you better.

He's right, this
is just a setback.

It's only temporary...

Would you both
just stop talking.

Try and take it easy.

I have some muscle cream
in my bag in my room.

It won't take the pain away,

but it might lesson
the discomfort.

Fine.

It was an accident.

I shouldn't have been there.

Stupid.

Don't second guess it.

Are you okay?

I heard you fell.

Yeah, I fell on some rocks.

Where was Ellie?

She was there.

I knew it.

It's no wonder, she's
completely inept.

You don't even know
what you're talking about.

They were on a date.

It wasn't a date.

It wasn't a session.

Shouldn't she know better?

Especially with her history.

What are you talking about?

I called her former employer.

Know what they said?

She's responsible for making
a patient worse with one

of her irresponsible recovery
plans that she concocted.

I talked to someone over there.

They said nothing about that.

Who did you talk to?

I don't remember.

Cynthia.

You talked to Cynthia.

She's your friend.

She also works at
the same clinic I did.

So, you had her lie for you,
give you a good reference,

while you continue
hurting people?

That is not what happened.

You put her down specifically
as your main reference.

Yes, but she does
work there and...

She must have been real
convincing covering up

what you did, and
now look at Jordan.

I gave you Cynthia
because she knows

what actually happened.

All she said to me was,

"Ellie is so great
at what she does,"

"and she's great at
helping patients,"

"and she'll definitely
get you better."

You didn't know
she had an agenda.

It wasn't even my therapy
plan for the patient.

A doctor at the clinic
assigned me to do it,

even though I thought
it was pushing too hard,

and when the patient
got injured again,

the blame was put on me.

A patient still got
hurt on your watch.

Oh, no.

What?

That's Dale.

Sand Raven is waiting on us
to commit to their terms,

or they'll pull out.

What do they want?

They want Jordan to return
to play in four months.

Oh, come on.

I can't give them
that, especially now.

- Okay, calm down.
- I'll call Dale.

It's not hopeless, Jordan.

We can still...

Do you have any idea
what's at stake here?

The only reason that you're
here is to get me better,

and now I'm worse
than before you came.

Just get out.

Jordan.

I was looking for
you in your room.

What do you want?

I thought we could work
on your shoulder today.

Just basics.

Not today.

We'll get through this.

Don't stress, okay?

I talked to Dale.

He thinks he should pull
out of the Sand Raven deal.

That soon?

Do you think Jordan
can meet their timeline?

I mean, let's face it, it
doesn't look very promising.

I'm sorry.

Dale will salvage what he can.

This isn't easy on any of us,

and I know that it's
especially hard on you.

I'm here, okay?

What are you doing out here?

Rethinking how
to get Jordan well.

It's not your
responsibility anymore.

What?

Plane ticket.

Your flight leaves tomorrow.

Jordan needs a
qualified professional

to help salvage his arm.

Oh.

Listen, everyone makes mistakes.

I'm sure in time, Jordan will
see some good you did here.

Yeah.

Have a safe flight home.

Miss Vaughn, how can I help you?

Um, I'm checking out, but
my flight isn't for another

couple of hours and there's
one last place I wanna go see.

Is there somewhere I
could leave my bags?

Of course, you
can leave them here.

Thank you.

Also, could you make sure
these get to Mr. Greer?

I'll take care of it.

Thank you.

Is there a taxi?

I'll
call you one right now.

Thanks.

- Have a good day.
- Thank you.

Ellie, are you leaving?

Yeah.

Jordan's just
upset, don't leave.

He was right to ask me to go.

What, what?

It's fine.

Thank you for being so great.

Let me talk to him.

It's pretty clear I'm
not needed here anymore.

Please just look out for him.

More than you
could do a month ago.

Before you fell on the rocks,

did you think you were
gonna fully recover?

Does it matter?

If you quit now.

Yeah, I've been
waiting for months

to see a glimpse
of the old Jordan.

You know, you kept everyone
away as you mourned Anna.

You know, I say her
name and you lash out.

Ellie's the one that
brought you back.

Let's not over exaggerate.

I'm not 100% yet.

Come on, I'm not talking
about your shoulder.

She lied to me.

There were two
conflicting stories.

You know, maybe you should
figure out what really happened.

Don't you think
she deserves that?

You know, she took
a chance on you.

I know.

Then why'd you send her home?

Home, what are
you talking about?

Shelley Park Therapy
Center, Cynthia speaking.

Uh, hi, is this the Cynthia

that's friends
with Ellie Vaughn?

Yes, who's this?

Yeah, all right.

Oh, yeah, I understand.

Thank you for,
, I will.

Yes, thank you, buh-bye.

Miss Vaughn left these for you.

She did?

Yes, sir.

Can I get you anything else?

No, thank you.

"If you're reading this,
you're the next in line"

"of many therapists who have
tried to work with Mr. Greer."

"Don't let that scare you."

Be patient with him.

Don't back down from
what you know he needs.

He may fight
whatever you suggest,

but he needs someone to care.

Even if he makes it difficult.

He deserves to get
better and have

the life he wants without pain,

and you can help him with that.

Please, don't give up.

A couple of tips though.

Don't refer to him as a
patient, he hates that.

And don't wear scrubs.

You'll figure out the rest.

Good luck.

The woman in this
room, where is she?

She checked out, sir.

Jordan.

What's wrong?

It's Ellie, she's gone.

Yeah, I know.

You gave her the ticket?

I thought you'd want her gone?

She's clearly not the
person for the job.

I mean, you heard what she did.

There's more to it than that.

Jordan, you need to get
better, not injure yourself more.

It was my own fault.

Why are you defending her?

She tried to hide her
entire work fiasco from you.

That doesn't mean
she did anything wrong.

I want her to stay.

Oh, I, I figured I
was doing you a favor.

I...
Thanks, but not this time.

I guess I've been
wrong about a lot.

I mean, we both know
why I came here.

You just never wanted to
address it and that's okay.

I just hoped that you
would look at me in a way

that would make you feel
something, but you don't.

Not the way you do Ellie.

- Regina, I...
- It's all right.

I can't force this.

Maybe I'll look into
heading home soon.

You don't have to go.

Yeah, I do.

I can't keep waiting around

for something that's
not gonna happen.

It's time.

I'm sorry.

Ellie's on the evening
flight, Fiji Airways.

She's probably waiting
at the airport early.

Thank you.

Excuse me, do you
know if Miss Vaughn

already left for the airport?

No, she didn't.

She did leave her
luggage here while

she went to visit another place.

Do you know where she went?

Ellie.

What are you doing here?

I had to find you.

Congratulations, you found me.

Please don't go, Ellie.

You got me a ticket.

That wasn't me.

But I'm just as much to blame
for you thinking that it was.

Stay.

I did lie to you.

I should have been upfront

about what happened
at the clinic.

I talked to Cynthia,
she told me everything.

You were put in an
impossible situation.

Pressured by a pigheaded
boss and a client

that just wanted results fast.

You're one to talk.

I deserve that.

But it shouldn't have mattered
what anybody said, anyway.

When I hurt my shoulder
again, I reacted horribly,

and I'm not proud of it.

To be honest, there's not much

I am proud of since the wreck.

I let myself drown in self-pity
and I ran away from life.

And no surprise, it
made me miserable.

But you know what's worse?

I took it out on
everyone around me.

People trying to
help me, like you.

You showed me that I
could not only get better,

but be better.

I still think you
will get better.

But maybe it shouldn't be me.

I mean, Regina's right,

there are a lot more
qualified people out there.

I don't care about that.

You don't care
about your career?

Everything you
worked for to play.

Of course and that's
something that I'll continue

to work towards, but that's
not why I'm here, right now.

I'm here for you.

There's no one else who,
who I want in my life,

and if you can take being
around me, please take a chance.

It's not just that I
need you, I love you.

Please, say something, Ellie.

What?

Whatever happened
to being comfortable

with someone in silence?

Fine, I take it back.

I love you, too.
