Switched at Birth (2011–2017): Season 1, Episode 13 - Self-Portrait with a Bandaged Ear - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON
"SWITCHED AT BIRTH"...

- I'M COACH MEDLOCK.
DO YOU HAVE A SECOND?
- YEAH.

I DECIDED TO TAKE
COACH MEDLOCK'S OFFER.

I'M GONNA JOIN
THE BUCKNER TEAM.

I KNOW YOU'RE MAD,
BUT I'M DOING IT.

DALE, I KNOW
YOU'RE A MEMBER
OF THE HOSPITAL BOARD.

WE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T
BE TALKING ABOUT THIS.

THE HOSPITAL IS PART
OF THIS COMMUNITY.

YOU REALLY WANNA BE
THE GUY WHO PUTS IT UNDER

BECAUSE YOU FEEL YOU'RE
ENTITLED TO A HUGE PAYDAY?

ALL THESE PEOPLE
CAN WRITE BOOKS



ABOUT THEIR LIVES.
WHY CAN'T I?

( stammers ) HELLO.

SHE IS NOT
JUST YOUR MOM.

SHE'S MY MOM'S
BEST FRIEND.

I CAN'T HAVE
HER HATE ME!

SOME PEOPLE THAT
LOVE YOU SO MUCH,

AND THEN THERE ARE
OTHERS THAT EVEN THE TINIEST
REMINDER BRINGS YOU DOWN?

THAT'S MY DAD.
I HATE EVEN THINKING
ABOUT HIM.

YOU DID THAT?

( car approaches )

( police radio chatter )

- ARE YOU
EMMETT BLEDSOE?
- ( door shuts )

ARE YOU
EMMETT BLEDSOE, SIR?

WE HAVE A WARRANT
FOR YOUR ARREST.



DROP THAT WEAPON, SIR.
DROP THE WEAPON SIR.

- I SAID DROP IT!
- ( grunting )

TRYING TO ADD
"RESISTING ARREST"
TO YOUR CHARGES, HUH?

DO NOT RESIST, SIR.
COME ON, LET'S GO.

( grunting )

WHAT, YOU GOT
SOMETHING TO SAY, KID?

HUH?

GET IN THERE.

( theme music playing )

( chattering )

WHERE IS MY SON?

EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU
EMMETT BLEDSOE'S MOTHER?

WHERE IS MY SON?

HALE. YOUR SON IS
IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM.

DOES HE HAVE
AN INTERPRETER?

DID YOU CUFF
HIS HANDS IN THE FRONT
INSTEAD OF THE BACK?

MISS, MISS, I WAS
WITH HIM DURING BOOKING.

WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU CHARGING
HIM WITH ANYWAY?

FIRST-DEGREE TRESPASSING
AND VANDALISM.

SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE YOU.

FOLLOW ME.

WHAT EXACTLY DID
HE VANDALIZE?

WHY ARE YOU
SO SURE HE DID IT?

HE TAGGED
THE BILLBOARD ON ELM.

IT'S AMAZING THE DETAILS
THESE DIGITAL CAMERAS
CAN CAPTURE.

OKAY, YOU SCARED
THE HELL OUT OF HIM.

- CAN WE GO HOME NOW?
- YEAH, YOU CAN GO,

BUT WE TAKE THESE CRIMES
VERY SERIOUSLY.

AND WE ARE
PRESSING CHARGES.

- HI. ( giggles )
- ( salsa music playing )

- HEY! THAT'S-- UH, OKAY.
- HEY.

( stammers ) OKAY.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
I COME SANS KENNISH.

AND THEY WERE OKAY
WITH YOU TO SEE ME ALONE?

THEY FINALLY REALIZED
YOU WEREN'T GONNA KIDNAP ME...

- NO.
- ...AND NEITHER
OF THEM COULD WRAP

THEIR BRAIN AROUND
A CUBAN-CHINESE PLACE.

- HOW WAS YOUR DAY?
- SO HOW WAS YOUR D--

- NO, YOU.
YOU FIRST. YOU FIRST.
- YOU, ME-- OKAY.

SO IS IT JUST ME
OR IS THIS REALLY WEIRD?

IT'S LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN
AN INTERVIEW AND A DATE.

YEAH, I'M SURE
THE MORE WE SEE EACH OTHER,
THE BETTER IT WILL BE.

OH, THE ESPRESSO HERE
IS INCREDIBLE.

I THINK THEY ADD
A LITTLE GINSENG IN IT.
YOU'LL LOVE IT.

OH GREAT.

OH, IS THAT OKAY,
THAT I ORDERED THIS FOR YOU?

OH YEAH, OF COURSE.

I MEAN YOUR PARENTS--
THEY LET YOU DRINK COFFEE, NO?

THEY'RE NOT THE BIGGEST FANS
OF ME HAVING CAFFEINE.

AND THEY'RE RIGHT. LET ME
ORDER SOMETHING ELSE FOR YOU.

OH NO NO NO. NO.

YOU GOTTA STICK
WITH YOUR DECISIONS,
BE CONSISTENT.

THAT'S, LIKE,
PARENTING RULE #1.

I'M SORRY.
I'M NOT SURE

WHAT THE FATHER
OF A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL
SHOULD BE DOING.

MAYBE IF YOU'D BEEN
AROUND TO RAISE DAPHNE,

YOU'D PROBABLY HAVE
A LOT MORE PRACTICE.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH,

I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO CALL HER, TEXTING.

IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT ELSE I COULD DO,
IT WOULD BE GREAT.

OKAY, WHAT'S THE SIGN
FOR PICK AND ROLL?

NICE.

AND WHAT DOES
THIS MEAN?

JENNA TAKES THE BALL OUT,
INBOUNDS DOUBLE-STACK PLAY.

WHAT, IS THAT WRONG?

NO, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW,

JENNA, DOUBLE-STACKED.

YOU'RE LAUGHING
'CAUSE SHE'S STACKED?

- SHE'S BLESSED.
- YOU NEED TO STOP
HANGING OUT WITH WILKE.

I KNOW, AND START
HANGING OUT WITH JENNA.

COME ON! THIS IS
MY FIRST GAME WITH BUCKNER.

I REALLY DON'T WANNA
MESS IT UP.

WHAT'S THE SIGN
FOR "GIVE AND GO" AGAIN?

OH, HEY, HOW DID
YOUR DINNER GO WITH--

ANGELO.
YOU CAN SAY HIS NAME.

YOU KNOW, HE REALLY
WANTS TO SEE YOU

AND EXPLAIN WHY
HE DID WHAT HE DID.

DON'T YOU TWO HAVE
ANYTHING BETTER TO TALK ABOUT?

HE FEELS REALLY BAD

AND YOU KNOW,
YOU MIGHT WANNA

HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.

LET'S GO OVER
THE ZONE DEFENSE AGAIN, YEAH?

HEY, HON, CAN YOU
GIVE ME A HAND?

( grunts )

SO I WAS LOOKING
THROUGH AN OLD ALBUM

AND THERE ARE
A LOT OF PHOTOS MISSING.

YEAH, THEY FALL OUT
SOMETIMES.

ALL THE ONES OF ANGELO?

UM, YEAH.

DO YOU STILL HAVE THEM?

I DO.

COULD I SEE THEM?

- WHAT?
- I'M JUST ADMIRING
MY VERY OWN WILLA CATHER.

WAY TO PULL A NAME
OUT OF THIN AIR.

I PAY ATTENTION
AT BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHTS.

I JUST-- I DON'T KNOW
WHERE TO BEGIN--

WITH US SITTING
IN THAT LAB OFFICE,

WHEN BAY TOOK
THE BLOOD TEST

OR WHEN WE FIRST
MET DAPHNE.

WHY DON'T YOU
WRITE ABOUT ALL OF IT
AND DECIDE THE ORDER LATER?

HUH. WELL,
THAT'S NOT A BAD IDEA.

ANYTIME.

DID YOU HAPPEN TO TELL
OUR LAWYER THAT YOU'RE
WRITING THIS BOOK?

NO. WHY,
DO YOU THINK I SHOULD?

WELL, IT COULD IMPACT
THE CASE.

IT MIGHT NOT BE
A BAD IDEA.

IS THAT YOUR WAY OF SAYING
YOU WANT THIS WHOLE BOOK
THING TO JUST GO AWAY?

NO, IT IS MY WAY
OF SAYING I THINK THIS BOOK
IS GONNA BE A BEST-SELLER,

BUT I DON'T WANT
THE HOSPITAL TO FIND
A WAY TO USE IT AGAINST US.

THAT'S ALL.

HERE ARE THE ONES
I COULD FIND.

( folk music playing )

* MY MY MY,
I'VE GOT SO MUCH TO SAY *

* I SAW THE WORLD TODAY

* IN YOUR OWN WAY,
YOU ARE RIGHT BY MY SIDE *

- * LIKE NOTHING
EVER CHANGED... *
- ( buzzing )

* YOU BRING ME HOME.

- EMMETT'S BEEN ARRESTED.
- WHAT?

DID YOU KNOW EMMETT WAS
ARRESTED TONIGHT?

- WAIT. WHAT?
- YEAH, THEY ARRESTED HIM

FOR TRESPASSING
AND VANDALISM.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT WAS HE DOING?

THEY HAVE
PHOTOS OF HIM

TAGGING PICTURES
ON A BILLBOARD
OR SOMETHING.

- OH NO.
- WHAT, DID YOU KNOW
ABOUT IT?

UH, I HAVE TO GO.

( car door closes )

( sighs )

HEY.

NOT A GOOD TIME, I KNOW.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

I-- I HEARD
ABOUT EMMETT GETTING--

WHAT IS THE SIGN?

IS HE OKAY?
CAN I SEE HIM?

GROUNDED?

NO, WAIT. I--

I'M SORRY.
THIS IS MY FAULT.

I'M THE ONE THE POLICE
SHOULD HAVE ARRESTED.

BECAUSE IT WAS MY...

PIECE. IT WAS MY...

OKAY, A LITTLE SLOWER,
PLEASE.

YES, HELP EMMETT--
YES, THAT IS WHAT
I AM SAYING.

I WANT TO HELP H--
I WANT TO HELP HIM.

UH, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING HERE?

- I NEEDED A TRIM.
- AND?

AND I CAN'T COME
TO THE HOUSE,

AND I REALLY WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU.

IF YOU WANNA
MAKE PLANS WITH BAY,

- YOU NEED TO TALK
TO THE KENNISHES.
- IT'S NOT ABOUT BAY.

THERE'S A SPACE
FOR RENT AROUND THE CORNER
FROM MY APARTMENT.

- YOU ALREADY HAVE AN APARTMENT?
- I TOLD YOU I WAS HERE TO STAY.

I-- I GUESS SO.

ANYWAY THE PLACE
I'M TALKING ABOUT

WOULD BE PERFECT
FOR A SALON.

UM, THAT SHIP HAS SAILED.

THE BANK THINKS
I'M TOO MUCH OF A RISK.

BUT I DON'T.
I HAVE ENOUGH MONEY
TO COVER THE LEASE

AND WHATEVER YOU NEED
FOR THE EQUIPMENT.

YOU AND I GOING
INTO BUSINESS TOGETHER

- SOUNDS LIKE
A VERY BAD IDEA.
- NO, JUST COME WITH ME.

LOOK AT THE PLACE.
IT'S BIG, FULL OF LIGHT.

YOU'LL LOVE IT.

I NEED TO GO TO WORK.

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
- OH, I REALLY DO NEED
A HAIRCUT.

UM, I'LL SEE WHAT
I CAN DO. COME ON.

- * HEY, D.J., TURN ME OUT...
- ( whistle tweets )

* YOU GOTTA KEEP ME MOVING
TILL THE MOON GOES DOWN *

- * IF YOU WANT TO SHOW ME,
GET TO KNOW ME... *
- Crowd: OH!

* SHAKE YOUR THING
TILL YOU DON'T FEEL LONELY... *

Woman:
ALL RIGHT,
COME ON, GIRLS!

* IF YOU'RE A BEAT BOY,
THEN MAYBE HIT THE GROUND *

- * YOU COULD
PLAY IT REAL COOL... *
- ( crowd cheers )

I CAN'T BELIEVE DAPHNE
QUIT CARLTON FOR THIS.

HONEY, I KNOW IT'S HARD
FOR YOU TO WATCH HER PLAY
FOR ANOTHER TEAM.

NO, IT IS HARD FOR ME
TO WATCH HER NOT PLAY
FOR ANOTHER TEAM.

YOU KNOW HOW GOOD SHE IS.
I'M SURE THE COACH'LL
PUT HER IN SOON.

- OH OH OH OH OH!
- * KEEP ME MOVING TILL
THE MOON GOES DOWN *

- * IF YOU WANT TO SHOW ME,
GET TO KNOW ME... *
- ( cheering )

* SHAKE YOUR THING
TILL YOU DON'T FEEL LONELY *

* HEY MISTER,
BREAK IT DOWN *

- * IF YOU'RE A BEAT BOY...
- OH, HEY!

* YOU COULD
PLAY IT REAL COOL,
THAT BE OLD SCHOOL... *

UH, HEY.

- HI, REGINA.
- DID I MISS ANYTHING?

- NO, YOU MISSED NOTHING.
- OKAY.

OKAY, SUBS, NEXT DEAD BALL
WE'VE GOT JENNA, LUCY,

GABY, AVA, AMELIA--
YOU'RE GOING IN.

- YUP.
- ( cheering )

OH, SORRY. THAT'S WHAT
WE DO AT CARLTON WHEN
THE TEAM SCORES.

- LIKE THIS? YAY!
- YES, JUST LIKE THAT.

- Both: WHOO!
- MOM, YOU CAN STOP
DOING THAT NOW.

- IT'S SO MUCH FUN
EMBARRASSING THEM.
- HEY, MOM, DON'T YOU HAVE TO

GO HOME AND WRITE
OR SOMETHING?

- ( chuckles )
- OH, WHAT ARE YOU WRITING?

OH, I'M JUST TRYING TO WRITE
ABOUT OUR SITUATION,

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE
THE MOTHER OF A CHILD
WHO WAS SWITCHED AT BIRTH.

- YOU'RE STARTING A BLOG?
- UH, NO.

- A BOOK.
- ABOUT THE SWITCH.

WELL, THAT'S THE PLAN.

WELL, AS THE OTHER MOTHER
WHOSE CHILD WAS INVOLVED
IN THE SWITCH,

- I'M NOT OKAY WITH THAT.
- WELL ACTUALLY, REGINA--

IT'S NOT GONNA BE
SALACIOUS OR ANYTHING.

IT'S GONNA BE HONEST.
IT'S GONNA BE REAL.

I DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS.
I DON'T WANT IT WRITTEN.

I-- I DON'T THINK
I NEED YOUR PERMISSION.

I DON'T SEE HOW
YOU'RE GONNA WRITE IT
WITHOUT MY COOPERATION.

- I GUESS I'LL FIND OUT.
- I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT THE POINT IS.

- I WANNA TELL MY STORY.
- BUT WHY?

WHAT, YOU NEED
MORE MONEY OR YOU JUST
WANNA HUMILIATE ME?

- OF COURSE NOT.
- THEN WHAT?

SOMETIMES YOU JUST GET SICK
OF SITTING ON THE BENCH.

OH OH. OH!

( people cheer )

YES!

HEY, I'VE BEEN
TEXTING YOU LIKE CRAZY.

ARE YOU OKAY?

DID SHE TELL YOU
I CAME BY?

I WANNA GO TO
THE POLICE AND TELL THEM
THAT I'M RESPONSIBLE.

BUT IT WAS MY PIECE.

RIGHT, BUT MAYBE
IF I TELL THEM,

THEY'LL GIVE YOU
A LIGHTER SENTENCE
IF I JUST--

OKAY.

WHOA.

THAT MUST'VE HURT.

ARE YOU OKAY?

WHAT ABOUT US?
ARE WE OKAY?

YOU GUYS ALL MADE ME
SO PROUD TODAY.

YOU LEFT IT
ALL ON THE FLOOR.
WE GOT THE VICTORY,

AND THAT'S THE WAY
A BULLDOG DOES IT.
BRING IT IN.

- BULLDOGS ON THREE.
ONE, TWO, THREE.
- BULLDOGS!

HEY. SO COACH MEDLOCK

CAN TAKE SOME TIME
TO WARM UP TO SOMEBODY.

SO JUST HANG IN THERE.
YOU'LL WIN HIM OVER.

- ( humphs ) THANKS.
- YOU WILL.

( rock music playing
over headphones )

- HEY.
- HEY.

- SAW YOU AT THE GAME YESTERDAY.
- YOU GUYS DID GOOD.

TYLER COUNTRY DAY IS TOUGH.

YOU KNOW,
IF YOU'RE PLANNING
ON MAKING IT A HABIT,

I COULD HOOK YOU UP
WITH SOME POM-POMS.

OH, I'LL PASS.
UNLESS DAPHNE GETS
SOME MORE PLAYING TIME,

I'M NOT GONNA BE
AT TOO MANY MORE GAMES.

THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT I WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

I THINK I KNOW
WHY COACH MEDLOCK'S
NOT PLAYING HER.

( school bell rings )

( people chattering )

- ( bird chirping )
- ( distant siren )

( buzzes )

HEY, SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.

DO YOU HAVE TIME TO GO OVER
THE INBOUND PLAYS AGAIN?

I THINK COACH MEDLOCK'S
WORRIED THAT I DON'T
KNOW THE PLAYS.

UM, I DON'T THINK
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- COACH MEDLOCK'S
KIND OF A JERK.

YOU KNOW, HE JUST HAS
HIS FAVORITES. I WOULDN'T
TAKE IT PERSONALLY.

I'M TRYING NOT TO.
THAT'S WHY I WANT
TO RUN THE PLAYS WITH YOU.

- WHAT? WHAT AREN'T
YOU TELLING ME?
- NOTHING.

YOU KNOW I CAN TELL WHEN
YOU'RE HIDING SOMETHING.

( sighs )

I HAVE A FRIEND WHOSE DAD
IS ON THE BUCKNER BOARD

AND SAID THAT
THEY'VE BEEN TRYING

TO RAISE MONEY TO UPGRADE
THE LOCKER ROOMS.

AND?

AND BY PUTTING YOU
ON THE BASKETBALL TEAM,

BUCKNER QUALIFIES
FOR A $20,000 GRANT.

HOW DID THAT
GET THEM THE GRANT?

IT'S-- IT'S FOR SCHOOLS
WHO ENCOURAGE

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
TO PARTICIPATE IN SPORTS.

SO THE ONLY REASON
THAT THEY WANTED ME

ON THE TEAM WAS
BECAUSE I'M DEAF?

BUT WHEN COACH CAME
UP TO ME,

HE ACTED LIKE
HE THOUGHT I COULD PLAY.

I THINK THE PRINCIPAL
MADE HIM PUT YOU ON THE TEAM

AND NOW HE'S NOT PLAYING
YOU BECAUSE HE FEELS

LIKE YOU WERE SHOVED
DOWN HIS THROAT.

SHOVED DOWN HIS THROAT?

BUT HEY, IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS,
IT'S NOT GONNA MATTER ANYWAY.

YOU JUST GOTTA
SHOW HIM HOW GOOD YOU ARE.

RIGHT.

HI, AMANDA,
IT'S KATHERINE KENNISH.

I JUST STOPPED
BY YOUR OFFICE

'CAUSE I NEED TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING.

BUT I GUESS BOTH YOU
AND YOUR ASSISTANT
ARE OUT TO LUNCH,

SO I GUESS I'LL-- OH!

WOW. UH...

I GUESS I'LL JUST SCHEDULE
SOMETHING FOR ANOTHER--

OKAY. UH, BYE.

HEY, YOU BONING UP
ON YOUR SOUFFLE RECIPES?

JUST KILLING TIME
BEFORE CLASS.

YOU WANNA HANG OUT
TONIGHT AFTER PRACTICE?

I DON'T THINK SO. I'VE GOT
A LOT OF HOMEWORK TO DO.

TOBY TOLD YOU
ABOUT THE GRANT.

WAIT, YOU'RE THE FRIEND?

THE ONE WHOSE DAD'S
ON THE BOARD?

YOU WENT TO TOBY?

WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST
COME TO ME DIRECTLY?

I KNOW I SHOULD'VE.
I'M SORRY.

I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
I WAS GONNA SAY TO YOU.

IS THAT WHY
YOU WANT ME ON THE TEAM?

I WOULD NEVER DO
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I WANTED YOU TO JOIN
THE TEAM BECAUSE YOU'RE
AN AMAZING PLAYER.

- DOES EVERYONE KNOW?
- NO.

LOOK, I JUST HAPPEN
TO HAVE A DAD WHO SPENDS

A LOT OF TIME
AND MONEY ON BUCKNER

AND IS BLESSED
WITH A LOUD PHONE VOICE.

- ( humphs )
- SERIOUSLY THOUGH,

NOBODY ELSE KNOWS
AND WE ALL THINK

THAT COACH MEDLOCK
SHOULD PLAY YOU.

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE HE REALIZES THAT TOO.

SOME LIGHT READING I SEE.

DO YOU WANT SOMETHING?

THIS IS AWKWARD
AND BELIEVE ME,

I WOULDN'T
BE COMING TO YOU,

BUT I DO NOT KNOW
WHO ELSE I CAN ASK SO--

I HAVE TO READ
THREE MORE CHAPTERS
OF THIS BEFORE TOMORROW SO--

HAS EMMETT SAID
ANYTHING TO YOU ABOUT ME?

BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN
TEXTING HIM AND HE HAS
NOT TEXTED ME BACK,

WHICH YOU PROBABLY LOVE,
BUT I REALLY NEED
TO KNOW, OKAY?

IS HE MAD AT ME
OR DOES MELODY HAVE HIM
ON SOME SORT OF LOCKDOWN?

YOU REALLY THINK
THAT EVERYTHING IS
ABOUT YOU, DON'T YOU?

WHEN SOMEONE IS
AVOIDING ME, YEAH, I DO.

HE'S UPSET
ABOUT THE ARREST.

- I KNOW THAT BUT--
- YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET IT.

OKAY, SERIOUSLY,
WILL YOU JUST STOP LORDING

THE WHOLE YOU'RE-BOTH-DEAF-
AND-I'M-NOT THING OVER ME.

THE FACT THAT YOU EVEN THINK
IT'S SOMETHING TO "LORD OVER"

JUST SHOWS HOW
REALLY IGNORANT YOU ARE.

THANKS FOR CLEARING
EVERYTHING UP.

IT WAS A KISS KISS.

NOT A I-JUST-KICKED-YOUR-ASS-
IN-NEGOTIATIONS-ON-BEHALF-

OF-THE-KENNISH-FAMILY-
AND-NOW-I'M-GIVING-YOU-

A-PATRONIZING-GOODBYE
KIND OF KISS?

UNLESS THAT INVOLVES
A FAIR AMOUNT OF TONGUE,

I'D HAVE TO SAY NO.

THIS IS A HUGE
CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

WHY DIDN'T
SHE SAY ANYTHING?

YOU REALLY THINK
SHE'D LET IT AFFECT
HOW SHE HANDLES THE CASE?

I DON'T KNOW.
WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE TOLD HIM

ABOUT THE NURSE
OR ANGELO OR--

I JUST CAN'T GET OVER IT,
AND DALE OF ALL PEOPLE.

I THOUGHT
SHE WAS A LESBIAN.

REALLY?

- WHAT, 'CAUSE OF THE HAIRCUT?
- NO, I KINDA THOUGHT SHE HAD
A CRUSH ON ME.

SWEETIE, I THINK
WE'VE BEEN WAY OFF
ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.

HITTING THE BEACH READING
ALREADY?

THERE IS OBVIOUSLY
A KENNISH JOKE BOOK.

SHOULDN'T YOU BE
AT BASKETBALL PRACTICE?

WHAT'S THE POINT?

COACH MEDLOCK'S
NEVER GONNA PLAY ME

AND IT'S NOT LIKE
HE'S GONNA CUT ME.

I'M THEIR $20,000 TICKET
TO NEW SHOWERS.

HEY, I KNOW IT SUCKS,

BUT TRY NOT TO GO
TO THE BITTER PLACE.

( chuckles )
I'M NOT BITTER.

I'M DISABLED.

IT'S A MIRACLE
I CAN EVEN TALK TO YOU

AND HOLD THIS BOOK
AT THE SAME TIME.

YOU NEVER TALK THIS WAY
ABOUT BEING DEAF.

THIS IS WAY MORE
THAN ONE DOUCHEY COACH.

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON?

DAPHNE.

DID YOU LEAVE
BECAUSE I WENT DEAF?

COME IN. JUST COME IN.

I JUST NEED TO KNOW.

DID YOU LEAVE
BECAUSE I LOST MY HEARING?

NO. NO, OF COURSE NOT.

THIS WAS A STUPID IDEA.

OF COURSE THAT'S
WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SAY.

DAPHNE, COME IN.
LET'S JUST TALK.

DAPHNE, YOU HUNGRY?

I'M MAKING SOUPE AU PISTOU.

PESTO SOUP?

NO, A VEGETABLE--
VEGETABLE SOUP.

AND I HEARD
YOU ARE A VEGETARIAN,

SO IT'S PERFECT TIMING.

UH, I DON'T WANT ANY.
I'M NOT HUNGRY.

YOU USED TO LOVE IT
WHEN YOU WERE A KID.

YOU WOULD SCOOP IT UP
WITH YOUR HANDS

AND PUT IT ALL OVER
YOUR FACE.

DID YOU USED TO SING
WHEN YOU WERE COOKING?

YEAH, THE CROCODILE SONG.
I MEAN...

* AH, LES CROCOCO,
CROCOCO, CROCODILES *

* SUR LES BORDS DU NIL.

( silence )

I'M-- I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN--
I DIDN'T MEAN TO--

IT'S OKAY.
YOU CAN SING
IN FRONT OF ME.

I MEAN, CAN--
CAN YOU REMEMBER SOUND?

I'M SORRY. I'M NERVOUS.

I DON'T WANNA SAY
THE WRONG THING.

I REALLY WANT
THIS TO WORK.

THEN TELL ME THE TRUTH.

DID YOU LEAVE
BECAUSE I LOST MY HEARING?

BECAUSE EVERY TIME
SOMEONE TREATS ME

LIKE THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME,
I GO BACK TO THAT PLACE--

A PLACE WHERE

I BLAME MYSELF

FOR MAKING YOU LEAVE
AND RUINING EVERYTHING.

NO, I LEFT BECAUSE

YOU DIDN'T LOOK
ANYTHING LIKE ME

AND I HAVE REGINA
TELLING ME OVER AND OVER

THAT YOU WERE MINE,
AND I THOUGHT--

I THOUGHT
SHE WAS LYING.

SO AS SOON AS YOU
FOUND OUT I WASN'T YOURS,
YOU JUST TOOK OFF.

NO, IT WASN'T THAT SIMPLE.

REGINA AND I ALWAYS USED TO
FIGHT ALL THE TIME.

- SHE-- SHE WAS SAYING--
- AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU FOUND OUT
I WASN'T YOURS
AND YOU LEFT.

- YES, BUT YOU HAVE
TO UNDERSTAND--
- NO NO NO,

YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND.

I WAS THREE.

I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT D.N.A. TESTS OR AFFAIRS.

THE ONLY THING
THAT I KNEW IS THAT
THE FATHER THAT I HAD

WAS THERE ONE DAY
AND GONE THE NEXT.

SORRY.

IT WAS A MISTAKE.

TELL ME THE TRUTH.

PLEASE.

DID YOU LEAVE
BECAUSE I WENT DEAF?

( sighs )

MAYBE A LITTLE.

( whispers )
I'M SORRY.

DAPHNE, LOOK,
I'M SORRY.

- JUST-- LET'S TALK
ABOUT IT.
- NO.

BUT THANK YOU

FOR BEING HONEST.

( door opens, closes )

REGINA.

DO YOU HAVE A MINUTE?

- SURE.
- I HEARD A RATHER
UNFORTUNATE RUMOR

THAT YOU WERE THINKING
OF OPENING UP A SALON

OF YOUR OWN
NOT TOO FAR FROM HERE.

( chuckles )
THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

( chuckles )
THE REAL ESTATE BROKER

WHOSE BALD SPOT I SLAVE
TO HIDE ON A WEEKLY BASIS

WOULD BEG TO DIFFER.

EVEN IF I WERE THINKING
SOMETHING LIKE THAT,

- THERE'S NO WAY
I COULD AFFORD IT.
- I TOOK A CHANCE HIRING YOU.

STEALING MY CLIENTS
AND BECOMING MY COMPETITION

WOULD NOT BE THE WAY
TO REPAY ME.

WELL, THAT'S FUNNY.
I THOUGHT THE FACT THAT
I WAS BOOKED SOLID

AND BROUGHT IN AT LEAST
10 NEW CLIENTS WAS MY WAY
OF REPAYING YOU.

OOH.

I'M GLAD YOU CALLED.

THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED
TO TALK TO YOU TWO ABOUT.

DOES IT HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH THE FACT

THAT YOU'RE INVOLVED
WITH A MEMBER

OF THE HOSPITAL'S
BOARD OF DIRECTORS?

YOU MEAN DALE?

ARE YOU SEEING MORE
THAN ONE MEMBER
OF THE BOARD?

WE DON'T TALK
ABOUT THE CASE

OR ANYTHING
THAT COULD CONCEIVABLY
BE RELATED TO IT.

IT IS A GIANT
CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

JOHN, WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER
SINCE I WAS IN LAW SCHOOL.

MY DAD NEGOTIATED YOUR FIRST
MAJOR LEAGUE CONTRACT.

THERE IS NO CONFLICT.
I AM ALWAYS ON YOUR SIDE.

BUT SEE, WE'RE SITTING HERE
AND WE'RE WONDERING

WHY YOU WERE
SO EAGER TO TAKE
THE HOSPITAL SETTLEMENT,

WHY YOU DIDN'T WANT
TO BELIEVE THAT NURSE

AND WHY YOU WERE
SO RELUCTANT

TO JOIN FORCES WITH ANGELO
AND HIS ATTORNEY.

OKAY, NOW WAIT
A MINUTE-- WAIT.
I WAS RELUCTANT

BECAUSE I HAD CONCERNS
ABOUT ANGELO.

- I STILL DO.
- YEAH, IT'S JUST

I DON'T KNOW HOW
WE DON'T SECOND-GUESS

EVERY PIECE
OF ADVICE YOU'VE GIVEN US,
EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE.

SO ARE YOU
LETTING ME GO?

I THINK WE ARE,
AMANDA.

OKAY, UMM,

I'LL HAVE ALL THE FILES

AND RELEVANT MATERIAL
SENT OVER TO YOU TODAY.

MAKE THE HOSPITAL PAY.
THEY DESERVE TO.

( door opens, closes )

- ( water splashing )
- ( birds chirping )

( sighs )

( door opens )

- ( door closes )
- STOPPING BY TO REMIND ME

HOW INSENSITIVE
AND IGNORANT I AM?

I JUST THOUGHT
YOU SHOULD KNOW...

I SAW ANGELO.

HOW DID THAT GO?

( sighs )
IT WAS HARD.

DID HE APOLOGIZE,
EXPLAIN WHY HE LEFT?

HE TRIED.

- AND?
- THERE'S REALLY
NO GOOD WAY

TO SAY YOU'RE SORRY
FOR BEING WEAK, THAT...

YOU DIDN'T BOTHER TO FIGHT
FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.

SO YOU STILL HATE HIM.

WHY IS IT
SO IMPORTANT TO YOU?

I DON'T KNOW! I--

I GUESS 'CAUSE,

YOU KNOW,
HE TECHNICALLY
IS MY DAD AND...

I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT YOU THINK.

I GUESS...

I FEEL SORRY
FOR HIM.

I'M NOT JUST
TRYING TO DUMP ON HIM
TO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD.

I KNOW, BUT...

IT'S JUST YOU HAPPEN
TO HIT THE JACKPOT

IN THE BIO-DAD DEPARTMENT.

( door opens )

- HEY, SWEETIE.
- DO YOU HAVE A SECOND?

YEAH. WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU SAW IT. I'M KIND OF
HAVING A TOUGH TIME
ON THE BUCKNER TEAM.

THOSE GIRLS ARE
A LITTLE TOUGHER TO PLAY WITH

THAN YOU MIGHT HAVE
THOUGHT, HUH?

I DON'T THINK
I'M GONNA GET TO PLAY
A GAME ALL SEASON.

WHAT ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?

DO SOMETHING TO PISS OFF
COACH MEDLOCK?

NO, IT'S NOT
SOMETHING I DID.

I FOUND OUT--

I WAS JUST WONDERING
IF YOU'D BE WILLING
TO COACH ME,

BECAUSE IF I'M NOT TWICE
AS GOOD AS EVERY GIRL
ON THAT TEAM,

I'M GONNA SPEND
THE ENTIRE SEASON
ON THE BENCH.

I CAN MAYBE FIND THE TIME,

BUT YOU KNOW,
I DO HAVE TO WARN YOU

CERTAIN EX-PLAYERS
OF MINE HAVE BEEN KNOWN
TO CALL ME "HARD-ASS."

THAT'S OKAY.

- SO WILL YOU DO IT?
- OF COURSE I'LL DO IT.

- BE A PLEASURE.
- THANKS.

( door opens, closes )

HI.

HI.

TRYING TO GET
YOUR ATTENTION.

OKAY, JUST COME
DOWN HERE, OKAY?

I HAVE SOMETHING THAT
I WANT TO SHOW YOU.

WAS THAT "RAP SHEET"?

LOVE IT
WHEN YOU SPEAK CON,

BUT DON'T WORRY, OKAY?

IT'S NOT ILLEGAL

AND I AM NOT TAKING "NO"
FOR AN ANSWER.

( knocks on door )

( knocks )

I WANNA GIVE
THE SALON A SHOT.

- YOU DO?
- I CAN'T WORK
FOR GERALDO ANYMORE.

HE'S PATRONIZING,
VINDICTIVE AND--

GAIN, WAIT,
DON'T QUIT YOUR JOB.

I DON'T THINK
WE CAN DO IT--

I MEAN TOGETHER

DAPHNE CAME
TO SEE ME TODAY.

SHE DID?
SHE CAME HERE?

YEAH, AND IT WAS
A DISASTER.

- WHAT HAPPENED?
- I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO HER

THAT MY LEAVING HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH HER,

BUT THAT MADE HER ANGRIER.

HUH. I CAN'T BELIEVE
SHE CAME HERE.

YOU HEARD ME SAYING
IT WAS A DISASTER, RIGHT?

OF COURSE IT WAS.
SHE'S BEEN MAD AT YOU
FOR 13 YEARS.

IT'S NOT GONNA GO AWAY
IN AN AFTERNOON.

- THINK SHE WILL
EVER FORGIVE ME?
- I THINK SO.

I HOPE SO.

* FEAR

* CAN HOLD YOU BACK...

OKAY, WAIT WAIT,
LOOK LOOK-- I KNOW

THAT GETTING
ARRESTED SUCKED

AND YOU'RE MAD

AT ME, AT THE POLICE--

I DON'T REALLY KNOW AT WHO

AND ACCORDING TO DAPHNE,
I WILL NEVER REALLY GET IT.

BUT I WISH THAT YOU WOULD
TRY AND EXPLAIN.

NO, I DO.

- TRY ME.
- * SHE GOT LOVE

* AND I GOT HATE...

OKAY.

BUT HERE'S THE THING.

NOBODY IS BETTER AT BEING MAD
AT THE WORLD THAN I AM.

I'VE HAD 16 YEARS
OF PRACTICE AT IT.

AND IT'S A LOT MORE FUN

BEING ANGRY TOGETHER

THAN ALONE.

* FATE

* IS HARD SOMETIMES...

* SHE GOT LOVE
AND I GOT HATE *

* SHE GOT OVER
MY MISTAKES *

* AND I COULD NOT
BELIEVE IT... *

JUST 'CAUSE
WE CAN'T DO STREET ART

DOESN'T MEAN
WE CAN'T DO STREET ART.

* WE ARE

* THE STARS

* WE ARE
THE STARS TODAY. *

THOSE FILES ARRIVED
FROM AMANDA'S OFFICE.

DO YOU WANT TO PUT THEM
IN THE STUDY OR THE GARAGE?

- YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THAT ONE.
- WHY? WHAT'S IN IT?

AMANDA'S PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
RAN A REPORT ON ANGELO.

AFTER OCTOBER OF 2009,

HE JUST DISAPPEARED.

DISAPPEARED?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

- HE'S HERE.
- I MEAN THERE IS NO RECORD

OF AN ANGELO SORRENTO
ANYWHERE.

NO CREDIT CARD CHARGES,
NO PHONE BILLS,

NO MAILING ADDRESS--
NOTHING.

IT'S LIKE TWO YEARS AGO

HE JUST FELL OFF
THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

WHAT WAS HE DOING?

OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING
HE DIDN'T WANT

ANYBODY ELSE
OT KNOW ABOUT.

SO WHAT I WAS THINKING

YOU COULD PUT
THE WAITING AREA HERE,

THE SINKS OVER HERE

AND IT WOULD LEAVE YOU
ALL THIS SPACE

- TO PUT
THE CHAIRS AND THE MIRRORS.
- AND IT HAS SKYLIGHTS?

YEAH, IT HAS EVERYTHING
YOU ALWAYS WANTED.

NOW THE ONLY QUESTION IS,
WHAT WILL YOU NAME IT?

GINA'S? PALOMA'S?

ESTILIO?

HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT?

DO YOU REMEMBER
ALL THOSE TIMES
WE WERE WALKING

DOWN AT THAT
OLD BARBER SHOP
ON 8th STREET?

- OH.
- AND YOU'D STOP BY IT AND SAY

WHAT WOULD
YOU DO TO THIS PLACE
ONCE YOU HAVE IT?

- ARE YOU SURE
YOU CAN AFFORD THIS?
- YES, AND IT'S THE LEAST

I CAN DO AFTER LEAVING YOU
TO TAKE CARE OF DAPHNE
ALL THOSE YEARS.

GINA'S-- THAT'S WHAT
I'M GONNA GO WITH.

- ALL RIGHT.
- ( salsa music playing )

- WHA-- IS THAT--
- OH. YEAH.

"I LIKE IT LIKE THAT."
DO YOU REMEMBER AT YOUR
COUSIN'S WEDDING?

( laughs )
YEAH, WE DIDN'T REALIZE

IT WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE THE FIRST DANCE.

WE DIDN'T KNOW.
EVERYBODY WAS STARING AT US.

OH, SHE DIDN'T TALK TO ME
FOR A MONTH.

- NOPE, SHE DIDN'T.
- ( laughs )

- OH NO.
- COME ON.

- REALLY?
- WHAT, YOU FORGOT?

NO. MAYBE.

- ( men speaking )
- ( laughs ) OKAY.

- If you don't mind,
I'll say it again.
- OKAY.

( men whooping )

* I like it like that!

- * Yeah, baby!
- * I said I like it
like that! *
