Drop Dead Diva (2009–2014): Season 2, Episode 4 - Home Away from Home - full transcript

[???]

JANE:
See that aspiring model there?
That was me, Deb,

until the day I died.

I thought I'd go straight to heaven,
but there was a bit of a mix-up,

and I woke up
in someone else's body.

So now I'm Jane,
a super busy lawyer
with my very own assistant.

I got a new life, a new wardrobe.

The only people
who know what's going on with me

are my girlfriend, Stacy
and my guardian angel, Fred.

I used to think
everything happened for a reason.

And, well, I sure hope I was right.



[SAMBA MUSIC IN SPANISH
PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

You got moves.

Apparently Jane knows
how to samba.

This body is full of surprises.

Where have you been?
Late night, early morning.

Why are you home so early
from work?

Oh, my God.

Chicken Marbella, carrot soup
and sauteed cauliflower.

The sex-is-in-the-air dinner?

Ha-ha. Well, it was a late night
for me too.

And it was amazing.

He was amazing.

I was amazing.

We were amazing.



Tony?

But I thought you guys were over.

So did I. But we went up
against each other in court.

And I guess all
of the arguing and pleading

just spilled over
into an action in personam.

Oh, translation...
You don't need to translate.

This is like Cameron Diaz
and Ashton Kutcher
in What Happens in Vegas.

They went at it
and then they went at it.

Today is the first day since I've been
Jane that I didn't even think once:

"Why did this happen to me?"

I'm just happy.

Mm.

Tell me details.
Like, did he spend the night?

That was the only bummer.

Oh.
I know.

He said he had an early morning.

Hope I don't like him
more than he likes me.

Maybe he will sleep over tonight.
How can I help?

Um...

You take Fred to the movies.

Oh.

And make it a double feature.

[CHUCKLES]

[???]

I need to see Kaswell.

May I ask what this is regarding?
No, you may not. Is she in?

I'm sorry. Care to leave a message?

Tell her that I...

No, say that...

Just give her this.

Did I just hear Parker?
Yep. Sent him away.

What? Why?

I was not to disturb you
under any conditions.

Never send away
a managing partner.
Got it?

Yes, ma'am.

He brought you this.

That was thoughtful.

Kim, the new client's
in the conference room.

You still available to help me out?

Let's go.

My daughter Susie. She's 8.
She plays after-school basketball

in what's supposed to be
an everybody plays league.

Supposed to be?

These leagues are supposed to be
good for self-esteem

and team building skills, but...

But Susie's coach is a jackass.
HELEN: He yells.

He plays favorites.

He is a volunteer, but you would
think he was coaching the Lakers.

Susie plays the same position
as his daughter.

And he is constantly benching her
in favor of his own kid.

And did you complain to the league?
They don't wanna hear it.

Not to mention he's on their board.

I'm sorry. I'm confused. Are we suing
to get Susie more playing time?

I wish I had thought of that.

Helers being sued.

[CROWD CHEERING OVER TV]

It's fourth quarter
and Susie hadrt played all game.

I got her off the bench
and I demanded he let her play.

He said the game was too important
and called me a helicopter mom.

You know,
for hovering over my daughter.

When he ordered her back
to the bench, I guess I just snapped.

Oh.

[CHUCKLES]

You... You clocked him.

I've never hit anyone in my life.

And to be honest, I really didn't think
I hit him all that hard.

He's suing for assault and battery.

[SIGHS]

And if he wins,
he'll take everything we have.

[???]

It's true. I swear.

The cauliflower is not a flower.
I'm sorry.

If cauliflower was a flower,
there'd be cauliflower in that vase.

People would exchange
cauliflower bouquets.

The rose lobby cornered
romance market

before the cauliflower lobby
had a chance.

When the cauliflower matures, the
buds open into bright yellow flowers.

You can look it up.
Cauliflower. Cauliflower. Cauliflower.

Cauliflower,
from the Latin caulis floris, a noun,

a group of tightly clustered

flower buds.

[CHUCKLES]

Okay. You win.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Teri, I'm kind of in the middle
of something. Can I call you...?

What?

[SIREN WAILING]

Hey, boss.
I am way too overdressed

to be posting bail for you and...

Edward, my cousin.

I hope we didn't ruin your evening.

It wasrt exactly what I had in mind.
What happened?

We were at a block party.

And I got stopped
for an open container.

What am I, 19?
You get fined for an open container.

You don't get arrested.
You do for unpaid parking tickets.

How many?

Enough to be arrested.

And what about Edward?

He came to my defense.

I just told the cop it wasrt cool.

TERl:
He was polite

but they arrested him for interfering
with an officer. Give us a second.

I don't care about me,
but make Edward's arrest go away.

I'll do what I can.

His mother died when he was a kid
and my mom raised him.

He's like my little brother.

First thing tomorrow morning,
I will call the ADA and take care of it.

Can you make it home okay?
I have a important appointment.

Say hi to Tony.

[???]

You really think I could fall asleep
waiting for you?

Oh. Well, you know, it's late,
so I'd understand.

I'm really glad you stayed.

Oh, but just so you know,
on Valentine's Day, I still want roses.

You gonna just stand there, or what?

Oh. Well, you know, it is my bed.
Heh.

Mm-hm.
So...

[???]

Is that a toothbrush?

Well, I don't mean
to be presumptuous. But, uh...

I thought I'd stay the night,

if you don't mind.

I don't mind.

I don't mind at all.

I've cleared your schedule
for the day.

What? Why?
So you could focus on my situation.

I spoke with the ADA.
He's agreed to dismiss charges

if you pay the tickets
by the end of the week.

Awesome.

But I'm gonna need a loan.

No problem.

Edward can plead to a lesser charge.
Disturbing the peace.

[PHONE RINGING]

Gonna get that?

Jane Bingum's office. She's here,
but she's really busy, Tony.

Ooh. Give me the phone.

I was just texting you.

I had a great time last night.

And this morning.

It was perfect.

And now you're officially
my good-luck charm.

What?
You are speaking

to the newest assistant
U.S. Attorney.

They finally called and I got the job.

Oh, you did not.

That's amazing!

We are so celebrating tonight.

Now, what does a U.S. Attorney eat,
because

I think that I...

Excuse me, Tony.

Teri?

I'm anxious. I can't help it.
I feel responsible for Edward.

I just wanna be...

You finish.
Everything all right?

It's fine. Listen. I better go,
but congrats again,
Mr. U.S. Attorney.

Okay, bye.

Bye. Ha-ha.

I'm sorry, Jane.

Are you sure that the judge
will approve Edward's plea bargain?

We are due in court at 3:00.

Now, I will call you
as soon as we know anything.

Trust me, Teri.

I know what I'm doing.

David?

You're Mr. Parker's assistant, right?
Executive assistant.

I'm Fred. I just started over
at Kaswell's desk.

You may know me
as the new guy,

or newbie or maybe the freshman.
Heh-heh.

None of the above.
I should get back to my desk.

Hey, listen. Um, ahem.

Between you and me, um,

assistant to assistant, uh,

am I out of the loop?
Is there something going on

between your boss and my boss?
Excuse me?

It's just that your boss
brought my boss coffee.

And I felt this vibe.

So, you know, if there's anything
that I need to know...

I don't know where
you worked before.

Nowhere you've heard of.

But people in our positions
don't gossip about our boss.

[???]

It was nice to meet you!

You can see the damage
to the second cervical vertebra.

I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were a doctor.

JOE:
Our expert, who is a doctor
will testify that Jack's injury

is consistent
with an upward blow to his jaw.

GRAYSON:
He can testify all he wants.

Helen was acting in self-defense.
What?

By definition, self-defense includes
defense of others.

Mr. Bryant engaged
in a season-long campaign

of emotional abuse against Susie.

You gotta be kidding me.

And Ms. Wakefield had no choice
but to protect her child.

[???]

[TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

Fred, what's he doing here?

That is the basketball coach
who's suing our client.

Why? You know him?
I used to date him.

I mean, Deb did.

Wow.

It really is a small world.

I gotta go.

[IN UNISON]
I've got big news.

BOTH: Mine's bigger.
Mine's about Grayson.

You go first.
Okay.

[CLEARS THROAT]

He's moving.

What?
Mm-hm. I drove by his house,

your old house.
And saw the for sale sign.

But... But why?

That was our house.

That was the beginning of our life
together. How could he sell it?

Maybe it's just too much for him.

Okay, now your turn.

I ran into Aspen Jack.

[GASPS]

Who?
Jack Bryant.

The guy I dated before Grayson.

Oh, yeah.

He flew us to his house in Aspen
for New Year's. He was cute.

But there was a problem.

He was married.
Right.

Yeah, a week after that trip,
I found out that
he had a wife and two kids.

Remember? What a jerk.

A jerk with
a completely awesome ski house.

I still have that picture of us
in the hot tub.

Oh, no.
Oh, no?

I have that picture too.
I look hot in it.

Yes, but, Stacy,
it's in my scrapbook

which is still in Graysors house,
in a Gucci box behind the sweaters.

If Graysors moving,
he's gonna find it.

It's a picture of you,
of Deb, someone he loved.

Exactly, and who wants a picture
of someone they love

with a married guy in a hot tub?

You didn't know he was married.

I'm not here to explain
that to Grayson.

So I have to get that scrapbook back.

I'll take care of it, sweetie.

But how?

Remember where you used to
keep your spare key?

Yeah.
Me too.

[CHUCKLES]

[???]

Kaswell.
Whoa. If anyone asks, it was not me

who stuck a finger
in Lorraine's birthday cake.

We have to chat.
Isn't that what we're doing?

Our assistants are talking about us.

Is there an us?
Is this about drinks the other night?

Your assistant asked my assistant
why I brought you coffee.

Totally inappropriate.
I'll talk to him.

Mm-hm.
Hey.

Why did you bring me coffee?

Is that really what's important here?

[???]

KIM:
Hey.

What is wrong with you?

I'm not sure how to answer that.
You talked to David

about me and Parker?
What? No.

I mean, yeah, but l...

If I wanted an office gossip,
I would've hired Teri.

Listen, it wasrt gossip. I was

acquiring information. At my last job,
I was the guy that knew everything.

I saw Mr. Parker bring you
a cup of coffee.

Which seems out of the ordinary.

And I inquired...
Look.

Colleagues who work together
in a professional capacity

sometimes bring each other coffee.
That's it.

Are we clear?
Yes, ma'am.

[???]

TERl:
Edward!

I know you said you'd call,
but I just couldn't wait anymore.

Well, do you wanna tell her
or should I?

She was amazing!

[LAUGHS]

The judge agreed to reduce
to a misdemeanor. No jail time.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm sorry I've been such a pain.

No, you were more like a dull ache.

Jane, I owe you, big time.
It was nothing.

See, I have all this legal knowledge
in my head. And I just put it to use.

Edward Kim?
Yes.

Immigration enforcement.

The court informed us of your plea.
Come with us.

I don't understand.
No!

Excuse me, I am his lawyer. Can you
please just slow down for a second?

What's going on?

It's a notice of removal.
They wanna deport you.

You can't. He's a U.S. Citizen.
Not according to our database.

This way, Mr. Kim.
Sir.

Ma'am,
you need to remove your hand.

[???]

Okay, but there's
just clearly been a mistake.

Mr. Kim.

Jane, do something, please!

EDWARD:
It makes no sense.

When you pled guilty, the court
automatically alerted immigration.

They've classified you
as an immediate deportable.

You told him to take the deal.
There'd be no jail time.

But I didn't know he wasrt a citizen.

But I am a citizen.

I have a social security number,
a license.

A library card.

According to the government,
you came on a tourist visa

as an infant and never left.

But his father was an American GI
stationed in South Korea.

Where's your father now?

He was killed in an accident on base
before I was born.

That's when they came
to live with me.

Then there has been a mistake.

So we will get the right paperwork
in front of immigration.

And then I can go home?

Yes, Edward, I promise.

[???]

Teri!

Teri! Hey.

This is all my fault.
What are you talking about?

When he confronted the police,
it was because of me.

He was just defending you.
I goaded him into it.

He was standing there, scared.
And I told him to do something.

If I kept my mouth shut,
none of this would be happening.

Teri, it's gonna be okay.

Oh.

Under the doctrine
of jus sanguinis,

the child of a U.S. Citizen
is entitled to citizenship.

So we just prove his father's lineage
and all of this will be over, okay?

[???]

We have to stop meeting like this.

[CHUCKLES]

What is it now, Fred?
Gonna tell me about the paralegal
who steals staples?

That Marcy in accounting
slips vodka into her tea?

No, no, no. None of that.
Marcy? Really?

Listen, I'm not an office gossip.

I wouldn't want you to think
Kim would hire someone

who isn't discreet.

She ripped you a new one?
She's got a gift.

Well, I didn't mean
to get you in trouble.

No, it's okay. At my last job, I dealt
with life and death, so I totally get it.

Um, ahem. I brought you this
as a peace offering.

You brought me a coffee?

I was picking up Kim's mid-afternoon
double soy latte, and I figured...

Thanks, Fred. Heh.

Hey, you know,
we should grab lunch sometime.

I'm free tomorrow.
I'll make sandwiches.

[???]

I've had persistent pain

and I've had to cut back at work.
And outside of work?

Physical therapy,

three times a week.

He's throwing a pity party
and inviting the jury.

No more questions.

Isn't it true that Susie Wakefield
played two minutes a game

and was regularly replaced
by your own daughter?

When I'm on the court,
I'm not the father to one girl.

I'm a coach for a whole team.

I'll take that as a yes.

During the season, did Susie
repeatedly ask
for more playing time?

Everyone wants more time
on the court.

At one point, did you tell her
to buck up and stop whining?

I was trying to motivate her,
toughen her up.

KIM:
Mr. Bryant, this is a copy
of your league's mission statement.

Can you read
the highlighted portion?

[CLEARS THROAT]

"At Western Valley Sports,

we believe that every child
deserves equal time on the court,

regardless of athletic ability."
Did your plan to toughen up

an 8-year-old
supersede the mission statement?

I don't know how
to answer that question.

You just did.

I know you're disappointed, Umma.

I shouldn't have taken Edward
to that party.

Is that all you have to say?

Jane's a great lawyer.
She's gonna fix everything.

I've heard a lot about
you over the years, Mrs. Lee.

Teri talks very highly...

Edward's only locked up
because of a clerical error.

Once we sort out his immigration
status, we'll get him out.

Thank you, Jane.

We just need to identify his father.

I've never met him.
We were already living in California

when Edward was conceived.

Maybe you have a birth certificate
or military enlistment papers?

No, I have nothing.

Umma, there's that old photo
of Edward's father in his bedroom.

It's just a photo.
Oh, that might help.

Well, I'll be right back.

[SIGHS]

Are you all right?

Do you see how angry she is?
No.

Trust me, quiet and calm is
far worse than yelling and screaming.

When I was 10,
I burned down the garage.

She went silent for a week.

Don't ask.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Oh, that's great.
I can see his name and rank.

We'll be able to identify him
from this. Thank you.

Tell Edward
I'm making his favorite dinner.

It will be ready when he comes home.

[???]

Susie, why did you wanna play
on a basketball team?

Because of my friends.
We used to play every day at recess.

It was fun. Then we all
joined the league together.

Do you still play basketball
at recess?

No.
Why?

I don't know.
It's okay, Susie. You can tell me.

The coach told me
that I sucked in front of all my friends.

Now, if I play, I get picked last
and no one passes me the ball.

I wouldn't want me on my team.

Susie, when I was about your age,

I had a coach
who told me I wasrt any good.

[???]

He made me feel real bad
about myself.

But you know what?

I didn't let that stop me.

And in college, I made the team.

Sometimes it's the coach that sucks.

Susie. You were standing
next to your mother
when she hit Coach Jack, right?

Yeah.

Did Coach Jack threaten her?
No.

Did he threaten you?
No.

When you tell your mom
you're having problems
with another kid at school,

does she tell you
to solve that problem by hitting?

Of course not.

What does she say?

To use my words.

That's good advice.

[SIGHS]

[DOOR OPENING]

[YELLS]

[SCREAMS]

Stacy?
What are you doing here?

Ahem. Well,
this is gonna sound crazy,
but I had a dream about Deb.

Anyway, she was trying
to tell me something

so I had to come right over
to your house

to try and communicate
with her.

Sometimes, it's just really hard

and I miss her.
I understand.

And I would've called
if I thought you were home, but...

Why are you home, anyways?

I'm meeting with my realtor.

You're selling?

I think I need a fresh start
somewhere else.

Boy, I'm gonna miss this place.

Deb and I doing cardio
on the stairs,

practicing our turns
before our auditions,

throwing ragers
while you were out of town.

Wait, never mind.

Well, time marches on.

What's that?

Um... So while I was trying
to communicate with Deb,

I found a pair of

Gucci black Prato flat rainboots,
European size 39

that I lent her.

So it's okay if I take them back,
right?

Of course. They're yours.
Thanks. Gotta go.

[???]

[???]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Come in.

Oh, Bingum.
It's nice to see you too.

I thought you were someone else.

Someone you're trying to entice
with a new cologne? It's spicy.

How can I help you?

I was wondering what's going on
with Grayson and Kim's case.

Why are you interested?

Well, as an aspiring partner,

I should educate myself
on all the firm's business, right?

I like the fire,
but their case is down the drain.

Our client cold-cocked
a sympathetic plaintiff.

The guy's a slime ball.
From what I hear.

According to Kim,
jury thinks he's good.

No, he's an awful guy.

The kind of guy who takes off
his wedding ring at the gym

and picks up a girl during Pilates.

I'm just saying.

Yeah, well, why don't you
share your insights with Grayson?

I've got stuff to do.

Oh, right, the new cologne.

It's growing on me.

Bingum, let me ask you something.

You ever find yourself in a situation
where you work with someone

and then you realize feelings
for that person have developed?

And keeping it to yourself is maybe
the hardest thing you've ever done?

No.
Yeah, me either.

[???]

Is it Cynthia in accounting?
Good night, Bingum.

I wanted to do something nice
to celebrate your job

but I was just so busy
with Teri's case.

How's she doing?
Mm.

Well, she strong-armed a veteran

into keeping the VA Archives
open late.

That sounds like Teri.
Yeah.

You don't like mushrooms?

I'm sorry. I totally should have asked.
No, no... The pizza's fine.

But, um, there is something
I need to tell you.

Is it bad?

[SIGHS]

It's bad, isn't it?

My new job.

I just found out, uh,

DOJ is placing me
in Washington, D.C.

And they want me there
by the end of the week.

Oh, you're moving across country?

Uh...

Well, that's great.
It could be.

How?
If you come with me.

[???]

Things were finally
coming together for us.

He brought his toothbrush.
And there was cauliflower.

It felt right.
It is right, sweetie.

He asked you to go with him.

When you were Deb,
you'd have said yes.

Yeah, but Deb didn't have a job
that she would be leaving behind.

Deb was a hard-working model.
Just like me.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult you.
Or me.

Apology accepted.

And for the record, if you move,

I would miss you so much,
I don't know what I would do.

I don't wanna think about that.
Yay avoidance!

Let's look at pictures.
Okay.

My scrapbook.

Wow.

Uh... It feels like
it's someone else's life.

I found the pictures.

Ah. There he is. The married guy.

Again,
I didn't realize he was married.

It could have happened to any of us.
Jack the jerk.

He looks so smug.

You're hiding a wife and kids,
mister.

Remember the next day,

he went skiing and he collided
with a snowboarder.
Talk about karma.

We had to rush him
to the emergency room.

Which explains that.

My God,
he sprained his neck in Aspen.

It sounds like a country song.

He sprained his neck in Aspen.
Ah.

That's good for the chorus,
but we need verses.

Like what rhymes with Aspen?

Stacy, Jack is suing Graysors client
because of a neck injury.

What if it really happened in Aspen?

Oh, my God,
you dating a married guy

could be the best thing
that's ever happened to Grayson!

That didn't come out right.

[???]

You ready to discuss our closing?

What?
Did you put this on my desk?

I've never seen it before.

Aspen, 2006.

[???]

If this is for real then...

Maybe Helen
isn't the proximate cause
of Jack's neck injury.

I'll fax a subpoena
to the medical center in Aspen.

But, Grayson,
where did that come from?

A guy like Jack makes enemies.
Maybe someone's getting even.

FRED: No way. Ha-ha-ha.
Fred, have you seen Teri?

Dude, I am going to own that place.

Yeah.

All right.
Thanks again for the invite.

Okay. Goodbye.

Ah...

Can I help you?
Who were you talking to?

Only my new best friend.

Who's your best friend?
David. From the office.

As in Parker's assistant?
Yep. We had a misunderstanding

so I brought him coffee,
we had lunch, totally hit it off.

Long story short,
he invited me to karaoke.

Fred, you know David's gay, right?
No, he isn't.

Yes. He is.

He doesn't look gay.

You can't tell
anything from looking at someone.

I mean, do I look
like a 25-year-old blonde model?

Wait, is that a trick question?

It's great you have a new friend.
David's awesome.

But coffee, lunch, karaoke?

Make sure you're not leading him on.
Social cues aren't your thing.

He calls me "dude" and he has
season tickets to the Kings.

Ever since Gretzky retired,

hockey in L.A.
Might as well be the Ice Capades.

I gotta go.

[???]

As an infant,
Edward Kim entered this country

on a six-month visa.

At no time did he seek
permanent resident status.

As such, he should be removed
from this country immediately.

Ms. Bingum.
Hmm?

Um...

Cutting it close.
Where is the documentation?

I've got nothing.
There is no paperwork, Jane.

What?
JUDGE: Ms. Bingum?

Your Honor, one moment, please.

The photo
was from an old Army recruitment ad.

The whole story was a lie.

We need to talk to your mother.
Why isn't she here?

Counselor, last chance.

Your Honor,
in light of new information,

we request a recess.

And I'll need 48 hours.

You've got 20 minutes.

My father's a recruitment poster?
What's that make me?

You're the same person
you were yesterday.

Circumstances change. You don't.

Circumstances
are about to get me deported.

What'd Umma say? Is she coming?
She didn't answer.

Call her in five minutes.

Then every five minutes after that.
She needs to be here.

What for?
To confirm that my life is a lie?

They're about to send me
to South Korea.

My family, my friends, my life.
It's all here.

Edward, I need you to testify.

What am I supposed to say?

Tell the court
about your aunt and cousin.

They raised me.

Birthdays, Christmas, graduations.
You celebrate with them?

Yes. They're my family.
My only family.

Objection. It's obvious
what counsel's trying to do here.

"Family Hardship claims"
are limited to immediate family.

Not aunts, not cousins.

Edward, what do you call your aunt?
Umma.

Which means?
It's Korean for mother.

And your cousin Teri?
Nuna. It means older sister.

Your Honor, if you deport Edward,

the hardship to his family
will be indistinguishable

from that of any mother and sister.

Yes, he was born in South Korea.

But he has no memories
from that country.

He has lived here his entire life.

[???]

Your argument is compelling.

But current law
gives me little discretion.

Your petition is denied.

Mr. Kim will return to South Korea
on the next available flight.

Oh, God.

Mrs. Lee, you need to talk to me.

I know why you werert in court.

Where's Teri?
She's at the office

desperately searching for a way
to keep Edward in the country.

I see.

You knew the story
about Edward's father was a lie.

This is a family matter.

Do you know what I love
about your daughter?
She speaks up.

And she's not afraid of anything.

And I think she got that from you.

Edward is about to be
sent away forever.

And I know you love him like a son.

So help me understand.

I promised my sister
I would never tell Edward
about his real father.

Why?
Because...

Because Edward's father
was not an American soldier.

He was a North Korean
border guard.

North Korean?

My sister was 16.

She got pregnant, he left her,

she hid it as long as she could
from my parents.

But eventually Edward was born.

They were so ashamed.

A child out of wedlock
with an absent North Korean father.

They gave her a choice.
Give him up or go away.

And that's when they came here.

My sister had one wish,

that Edward not be defined
by the circumstances of his birth.

I promised to keep that secret,
no matter what.

Mrs. Lee, I know it's painful,

but if you allow me
to tell the truth,

there's a chance
that I can keep Edward
in this country.

Now wouldn't your sister
have wanted that?

That's the x-ray you provided
before the trial.

And this one is identical.
Get to the point.

This x-ray was taken at the Aspen
Medical Center four years ago.

It's the same neck sprain.

We've got the doctor
who will say so.

Helen Wakefield
didn't injure your neck,
just your pride.

You tried to use this situation
to try to steal money

from a single mom and child.
Judges frown on lawyers

who withhold evidence
during discovery.

I had no idea.

One play left to call, coach.

Drop the case,
pay Helers legal fees,
and resign from the league.

Oh, one more thing.

Actually, I understand
there's an end of the season
banquet.

That'd be a perfect forum
for your public apology.

[???]

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

[???]

Hey, uh, David, you got...?
You got a minute?

You're chickening out of karaoke?
What? No, no...

Uh... Well, maybe.

Um...

Listen, I like you.

And I don't have
any other guy friends.

But I don't want to lead you on.

"Lead me on"?

You know I'm not gay, right?

Fred, look at my ring.

I've been with my partner
for eight years.

So you're not leading me on.

Besides, I know you're not gay.
Wait, how do you know that?

You can't tell anything
by looking at someone.

You're absolutely right.

So can I still come to karaoke?

Yeah. Just don't go singing
"It's Raining Men."

You won't pull it off.

[???]

Your Honor, I thought I missed you.

What are you doing here?
The case is over.

Edward Kim
is on a military helicopter
on his way...

To San Francisco,
where he'll be deported.

But he's still in American airspace,

which means you still have
jurisdiction. And I have a new claim.

Asylum.
Asylum? How do you figure?

Turns out, my client is North Korean
by virtue of his father's nationality.

That is a copy of a
Family Registration Certificate
from the consulate.

It confirms that Edward's father
is from...

North Korea.

The U.S. Has a long-standing policy
of granting asylum

to people from North Korea,

a country where he's guaranteed
to face political persecution.

You said the law
didn't grant you discretion.

But isn't this enough?

One phone call and you can change
the course of this mars life.

And then the judge ordered
the helicopter to turn around.

I mean, a couple more hours...
I don't even wanna think about it.

You pulled it off.
He was lucky to have you.

[STARS' "UNDERTOW" PLAYING]

Um, Tony.
Yes, Jane.

I love what we have together.

And I love
that you asked me to go with you.

But...
But your life is here.

And it was selfish of me
to ask you to move.

No, it was amazing that you asked.

And if I were in a different place
in my life...

But I can't go with you.

It was a long shot, I know.

So, what do we do now?

We hug. For a really long time.

And then you leave first,
and I order another drink.

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

[CROWD APPLAUDING
AND CHATTERING]

DAVID:
Uh-huh.

[LAUGHS]

I love karaoke.

And all your friends
are so nice and clean.

Hey, Fred, you're up.

Go, Fred, Go!

[CROWD CHATTERING]

[SINGING
"BAB Y, I NEED YOUR LOVING"]

GRAYSON:
Jane? Hey.

Grayson. Hi!

Mind if l...?
No.

Well, what brings you here?

[SIGHS]

I had to get out of the house.

Boxes everywhere.
Right. You're selling.

Actually I decided not to.

Hmm.
I just called the realtor.

Truth is, no matter where I am,
Deb's with me.

I'm an idiot to think I'll stop
missing her if I sell that house.

Well, you know
that you don't have to move away

from old memories
to create new ones.

Yeah, exactly.
