Switched at Birth (2011–2017): Season 1, Episode 23 - This Is the Color of My Dreams - full transcript

Previously on
"Switched at Birth"...

I'm gonna need
an immigration lawyer.

Even if I get you a lawyer

and you get out,
you can't come back.

I'm still the girl's father.

You can't come back
with me. We're done.

I have a 3:00.

No. Come on.
Blow off work.

- We'll take a nap together.
- ( Both chuckling )

What exactly do you need?

Interviews? Notes?



For what?

- Your book.
- Really?

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I don't want
to get involved.

This concerns my brother,
my best friend and Bay.

You didn't think I should know?

Well, he might
be able to stay if...

- If?
-... if Angelo marries a U.S. citizen.

( Classical music playing )

- ( Music stops )
- Why are you doing this?

( Alarm beeping )

( Deep sigh )

- Hey.
- Hey.

You okay?



Yeah. I, uh,

just had a weird dream.

You wanna grab some breakfast?

I can't.

I promised Kathryn
I would help set up.

Bay's coming home today.

( Upbeat guitar music playing )

Oh! Ha ha ha!

Ugh!

( Whooping )

Kennish beats Vasquez

again!

I think that Kennish
is conveniently forgetting

about Vasquez's nine-day

winning streak
of mid-July.

Toby: I beat you!
Fair and square!

No way!

- Hey!
- Hey!

- What up, sibbies?
- Daphne: Welcome home!

Thank you.

How was the galapagos?

Or how were the galapagos?

Muy bien, gracias.

I brought back galapagifts.

- Tob sweet.
- Ooh.

So, uh, did you get bit

by a blue-footed
booby?

What's going on with your hair?

Uh, I went island.

And nothing you say
is gonna make me...

Take it out.

I'm sorry. My A.S.L.
has gotten rusty.

I'm supposed
to invite you guys in.

Uh, the welcome home party

got bumped up a couple hours.

Yeah, I thought that
John and Kathryn

were picking you up
at 4:00.

Our plane landed early,
so we just grabbed a cab.

We?

So we bonded over our hatred

for the sun,
the ocean and sand.

Well, I'm so glad we spent
four grand sending her.

It was an enrichment program.

I'm sure you learned
other things.

Didn't you, Alex?

( Door opens )
Kathryn: Come on.

- ( Laughing )
- Hey! We heard you got back early.

Kathryn: Yeah.

Hi, uh, I'm Regina.

- Hi.
- Adrianna.

I'm Bay's grandmother.

Oh cool.
You live here too?

- Mm-hmm.
- And you're her...

Aunt?

Um...

Not exactly.
( Nervous chuckle )

Hey! I see
you met everyone.

Ah, so this is Toby and Daphne,

my brother and
sistery- type person.

And this is everyone!

So, everyone, this is Alex...

My boyfriend.

- Oh.
- Alex: Hi.

- John: Wow.
- All: Hi.

- Adriana: Hi.
- Kathryn: Huh.

( Whispering ) Maybe we
should give it more than

14 minutes before we judge.

Another boy? Is that
really what she needs?

First this Liam,
the kid who enlisted,

then Emmett, now this guy?

I mean, come on,
she should take a break

at some point.
Don't you think?

And you're saying this
purely from a point

of female empowerment,

not as an overprotective dad?

Okay. But the
feathers and the hair

are just bad.

- ( Sighs ) True.
- Yeah.

( Normal voice ) Hey, you
guys, set the table.

- Okay.
- Come on.

So where does he go?

St. Joseph's...

Catholic, all boys, dangerous.

( Chuckles ) Well, he
seems really nice.

We had the greatest
time out there.

We just laughed our way
through everything.

So I hope this isn't awkward,

but I promised Emmett
I'd give you a letter.

I left it in your room.

Thank you.

He and I...

I mean, I wasn't happy
about what happened,

but we talked about it
a lot and...

It's fine.

Really.

He was your friend first.

I don't want to get involved,

but you should know
that he is really...

- Hey!
- I come bearing chips.

Lots and lots o' chips.

♪ Excellent.

It's so great having you home.

And it seems... ooh.

It seems like
you had a lot of fun.

( Laughs )

So honey,

I invited Alex
to the book party.

I hope that's okay.

Right. Yeah
the book party.

No, that's cool.

Kathryn: Did you
like the cover art?

When we had the photo
shoot with the babies,

they gave me photo approval.

Hon', you never
told me...

You never told me

if you like the book galleys.

I know you were trying
not to be too connected

when you were out there,

so I didn't want
to push it...

Oh! No, sorry,
I really really liked it.

It was... it was honest.

It's insightful.
It was funny even.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

So are you still
in contact with Emmett?

I never really got
a clear story

- about what happened with you two.
- ( Knocks on door )

- Hey.
- Oh hi, Regina.

Here's the stuff
for your bites.

And I can pick you up some aloe

when I go out,

'cause that's really the best.

Thanks. I heard
about your wrist.

- That sucks!
- Yeah.

Combination of signing
and cutting hair...

Sort of a perfect storm
for inflamed tendons.

The doctor says I just have
to rest it for a while.

- Uh, Regina?
- Hmm?

What's going on with Angelo?

His hearing is in a week

and he will present
everything to the court...

Your letter, my letter,

Daphne's letter.

We wrote one too.

Regina:
Yes. Right. Thank you.

His lawyer thinks
that leaving suddenly

would put undue hardship
on both you and Daphne.

So he'll probably get to stay.

I don't want to jinx anything,

but things look good.

Daphne: I've been
cooking for my mom

and my grandma
since I was nine.

I do this thing where I'll take

an ingredient and I'll make

like seven dishes with it,

just to really get to know it.

I see you're in high school.

Yeah, it's not a problem.

I took classes over the summer,

so I'll get out at 2:00
every day this year.

They're totally
supportive of it.

I actually applied
for a bunch of jobs

at the beginning of the summer,

but I didn't get anything,

so I figured I'd have a better
chance once all the college kids

- went back to school.
- Well, you're right about that.

We are looking.

Can I ask what your accent is?

It's so unusual.

It's not Russian, is it?

No.

Swedish?

Nuh-uh.

I'm actually deaf.
It's a deaf accent.

- Oh! I'm so sorry.
- It's really not a big deal.

My dog is deaf.

I promise you
I can do anything...

You poor thing.

( Loudly ) Thank you
so much for coming in.

It... it's so nice
to meet you.

It was nice to meet you too.

John: I just think the
whole thing is fantastic.

- I mean, come on!
- Honey.

No ghostwriter!
Can you believe that?

Every word, all her.

I mean, I couldn't do that.

Hmm.

So I heard you have
a new lady friend.

I do.

The lovely Jenna has
been keeping me company.

You sure bounced back fast.

Well, it's not like

Simone and I were
written in the stars

or anything.

Those would be some
pretty messed up stars.

I'm actually surprised that

you're in
a relationship so soon.

I guess it just
goes to show you:

Can't keep a good Kennish down.

- No, sir.
- What?!

- Ah!
- ( Both chuckling )

So, nobody's tarred
and feathered you yet.

I know. I guess
I thought people

would be more judgmental.

I think Kathryn did
a really good job

explaining your side
of the story.

She did.

He seems like a good guy.

He is.

It's been interesting for me

living with such
a solid couple.

It certainly wasn't my model.

( Chuckles ) Me neither.

My parents stayed together
for me and my brother

and shouldn't have.

In fact, most marriages I know

are terrible.

I don't know about all of them.

I prefer to be
in a relationship

because both people choose to,

not because getting out of it
would be a pain in the ass.

So you don't
believe in it at all?

Like, on principle?

I just have never
understood the obsession

with marriage
as an endgame, you know?

It's a piece of paper.

I'm glad we had
this conversation.

Me too.

"Oh, you're too
pretty to be deaf."

Oh no way!

That's the dumbest thing
I've ever heard.

I wish I could just
keep it from them

until I'm hired, but...

I don't know. I don't feel
like that's very honest.

Mm.

How many interviews
have you had?

12.

Once they find out I'm deaf,

it's basically over.

Why don't you just ask my mom?

I mean, she's got
connections everywhere.

- No.
- Oh, that's a great idea.

She got your mother
a job at Geraldo's.

I want to get this on my own,

not from someone

begging them to take me on

like some charity case.

Yeah, but,

you're qualified, right?
I mean, once you get

in the door, you'll prove that.

Gee, d-from me out there?
Kept a-( Laughs )Thing

well, the good news is

is my mom wrote
a whole book about it,

so you can get caught up.

"As a toddler, Bay was feisty,

funny and fearless."

Hmm.

"It's true, she looked different
than the rest of us... "

You know what? You don't
have to read it out loud.

Just to yourself
is... is fine.

It says you wet your
bed until you were 12.

It says what?

Oh. You're hilarious.

You know what? I am gonna
go get more hummus. Enjoy.

Who's Emmett?

Uhh...

Excuse me?

"He rode up on his motorcycle

looking like
a deaf James Dean."

Sounds pretty hot.
Can I meet him?

Could I see that?

Uh, could you just
excuse me for like

half a second?

There's more if you need it.

All right.

You wrote about Emmett?

Honey, the motorcycle
was the first thing

that Regina and I argued about.

Plus, he's Daphne's
best friend.

I didn't write anything
about the two of you,

'cause I knew you'd be
touchy about it, so...

Did you even read the book?

No.

Why didn't you read it?

You know how hard
I worked on it.

I... I was busy.

I had homework.
They made us do assignments.

- I'm sorry.
- And why in the world

wouldn't you tell
Alex anything?

Mom, do you know
how nice it was

to not be the girl
who was switched at birth

just for a few weeks?

It was a lie, but it was
still pretty awesome.

Well, that's fine. But if you
couldn't be bothered to read

the book, then you
can't complain about it.

I didn't realize that you were
going to be writing about him.

Honey,

Emmett's a part of our story.

I'm sorry,
but I can't erase that.

John:
Yeah. Big smile.

- All: Cheese.
- I think we got it.

- Jaw's hurting.
- Oh!

- Oh, I think...
- That's a nice picture!

- That's fantastic.
- It sure is.

You will thank me
for taking these pictures.

They're not even
listening to me.

Mom?

Anything yet?

Just one review
in "The Daily."

Bay: And?

- They love it.
- ( Gasps )

( All cheering )

- Come on!
- Listen listen listen!

"This memoir could have
taken a tabloid turn,

but instead, Kennish

manages to make
her personal nightmare

compelling, universal...

And full of hope."

Four and half stars!

- What?!
- ( Cheering )

That's what I'm talking about.

- Nice going, mom.
- Thank you.

Congratulations, sweetie.

Maybe I'll read it now?

- ( Chuckles )
- Yes!

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

You guys have
a great first day!

- See you!
- Kathryn: Yay.

( Exhales )

( Door closes )

That really is
great news, Kathryn.

Oh thanks so much.

Can I ask you something?

Go ahead.

I don't know if this
is weird for you at all...

And please tell me if it is,

but I've been trying
to get a job at a kitchen

- at a really good restaurant, and...
- Mm-hmm.

I haven't been able
to find anything yet.

I was thinking that maybe

you might know someone?

Why do you think it
would be weird for me?

Honey, I would do
anythito help you.

I wish that you felt
more comfortable...

It was nothing to do
with you. I swear.

I hate asking for help
from anyone,

ever since I was little.

You know...

"The deaf kid needs help."

Everyone needs help sometimes.

I know,

and I really want this,

so I'm breaking my rule.

- How you feeling?
- Fine.

Your lawyer said we have
a really good shot.

And I'll be there,
both the girls...

- John and Kathryn if you want them.
- No. It's bad enough

the girls have
to see me like this.

Not them too.

Okay.

But we're all on your side.

Talk to me.

Everything comes
down to one judge

in one moment

who knows nothing about me,

except that I lost my
temper three years ago.

That's what
the letters are for...

I've messed up
everything in my life.

- That's not true.
- It is true!

It's my fault,

- and I know that.
- Listen to me...

When I read that article

about you and the girls

and the switch,

I knew this was

what I was
supposed to do...

Find you and them

- and make it right.
- Listen to me.

I have a really
good feeling about this,

and you know I'm never
wrong about these things.

- Hmm?
- Guard: No touching.

( Door opens )

- Hi.
- Hey.

Thought I'd grab
some of that duck salad

you made last night.

Mm. Sorry.

I just finished it.

( Chuckles ) That's okay.

I'll get something else.

So, what are you working on?

Thought you were done.

I have a meeting

with the head
of digital marketing.

My editor says we have to "beef
up our online presence,"

so she want me to start a blog.

Really?

Look at you, the blogger.

I have to come up
with some ideas for topics.

Oh!

- Let me get some brussels sprouts.
- Oh, that'd be great.

Yeah. After that, I have
to get out of here, honey.

I have to meet them
in 45 minutes, so...

- Honey, the cable guy's coming.
- He is?

Yeah, from 11:00 to 7:00.
Remember, you told me?

Only reason I remember
is 'cause there's a game

- on tonight.
- Right. Well, I'm sorry. I can't do it.

Um... can you do it?

I have a 2:00 tee time.

Can't you change
your golf time?

It's with the head
of a dealership,

but I've already canceled
on him twice this summer...

Both for book-related events,
I might add.

First was that trip
to New York, and the...

Well, I don't know what to say.

I can't do it, you can't do it.

We'll just have to live
without cable for a while.

There's a game tonight.

I'm sorry about the mess.

( Sighs )

( Bell ringing )

Hey, good to see you.

Bay. Bay.

Bay, please.
Please. Wait.

Can we talk for like a second?

I'm really extremely sorry

about everything.

And I just wanted you
to know that I think

that you and Emmett
were a great couple.

And...

I don't think that
one mistake should

ruin that, you know?

Okay. I get it.
You're gonna ignore me,

and that's fine,

but we go to a small school,

we can't really
avoid each other.

Then maybe you
should switch schools.

- I can't do that.
- Why not?

- Because I can't.
- Why not?

Because I go here.

Then don't.

Don't go here anymore.

- Bay...
- Look, you're a smart girl.

You can figure this out.
Just go home,

tell your parents
you want to transfer

or something...
I really don't care.

You want to do something
to make this better?

Don't be in my world anymore.

( Bell rings )

You're Jeff Reycraft.

Chef.
You call me chef.

Chef. Right.

I didn't think the interview
would be with you.

I love your menu.
I've... I've never

actually eaten here,
but I've studied it

and, of course,
I've read about you...

Get a jacket, find a knife,

ask someone where
we keep the vegetables.

Dice 30 onions in one
centimeter cubes...

Not half a centimeter,
not two centimeters,

one centimeter cubes.

Yes? No?
You don't speak English?

Sorry. I just thought
this would be an interview.

Oh yeah, usually it is,
but your mom apparently knows

someone really important,
so you're hired.

"Thank you, chef."

Thank you, chef.

music playing )

And they make this meal
for the whole staff

called family meal,
where we get to eat "scraps."

Ugh.

But it's incredible!

Last night we had ricotta
cheese with whip creme fraiche

topped with toasted hazelnuts.

Oh my God. I'm so
happy it worked out.

And it's all because of you.

Uh, I better go.
Chef is very punctual.

- Must not be late.
- ( Both chuckle )

Go go go!

( Clucks like a chicken )

Go away!

Don't you want to feel my
slippery, slimy, rubbery skin?

You cannot gross me out
because I am a professional.

How can you be a chef
if you're vegetarian?

There's meat everywhere.

( Scoffs ) I don't want to
make out with it, or anything,

but I don't mind
being around it.

It's just a personal choice.

Well, whatever you do,
don't tell chef.

He's got no love
for vegetarians.

Hey, uh, what is he
making with artichokes?

I didn't see that
on the menu tonight.

I don't know,
but I hope we get some.

( Chuckles )

- Chef...
- What are you doing?

Trimming artichokes.
Like you asked.

I said haricots verts.

Not artichokes. You do know
what haricots verts are,

- don't you?
- I'm sorry.

- I'm must have misunderstood...
- She'll fix it.

We'll fix it.

Uh, Daphne. They're
in the refrigerator.

Cook: Behind you.

- Behind you.
- Whoa!

Oh my goodness.
I'm so sorry.

I didn't know you were there.
I'm sorry.

Just get out of here.
Out!

It's trash.
Throw it away.

Hey, what's for dinner tonight?

I was hoping
for some of that baked ziti.

I thought we'd just fend
for ourselves tonight.

I have to answer
a bunch of emails,

and I didn't have
time to stop at the store,

- so...
- Oh.

- What?
- Nothing.

Say it.

I like that we have
dinner together.

And?

And I don't know,
Kathryn. You know?

I love our traditions, okay.

I love that we take
pictures of the kids

on their first day of school,

and make peanut butter pancakes

for their birthdays.

And that I take
care of everything.

Now wait a second.

I'm not just some caveman.

Not at all.
It's nice having

someone take care of things.

I would like it too.

I take care of things.

I mean, I did this summer.

- ( Chuckles )
- I did! I mean, you know,

more than normal.

Look, I...

The book took a lot of
time and commitment

from you, from me,
from the kids,

and I'm very proud
of what you did.

But I thought that when
the book was done...

Things would go back
to the way they were.

Yeah.

Honey, I got a lot of stuff
coming up in the next few months.

I have book signings
and publicity and...

When the book's over,
I'm gonna do something else.

This isn't the end,

it's the beginning.

Okay.

Is it?

I'll get there.

I hope so.

Hi.

I finished with
the haricots verts.

I need turnips,
carrots and kale.

- Turnips need to be scrubbed and peeled...
- Could you...

I'm sorry I had
to interrupt, but

could you please look at
me when you're talking,

so I could read your lips?

No, I cannot.

- But...
- This is a kitchen.

Not just a kitchen...
It's my kitchen.

I am responsible,
not just for the food

that comes out of it, but for all
the human beings who work in it.

There are very large
knives in here.

Boiling pots of water. If you
can't hear someone behind you,

and you bump into
a guy holding a vat...

I'm really sorry about that.

Listen.

I'm sure you grew up being told you
could do anything you wanted, right?

- Yes.
- Well, that's good.

You had good parents.

But now I'm going
to tell you the truth.

You can't do everything.

I can't be a jockey
because I'm 6'4".

My sister can't be a Broadway star
because she don't sing so good.

We weren't meant
to do everything.

That's why God created
each of us different.

I heard you were deaf, I
didn't know what to expect.

I said, "let's give it a try,"

but now you're in my kitchen.

And the fact is,
it's a problem.

The law says that I have to accommodate
you to the best of my ability,

so if you want to stay...

Go wash dishes.

Can't do much damage there.

Okay. So he's getting out
in a couple of days.

- Yeah.
- ...And you call him "Angelo"?

Well, that's his name.

But he's your dad.

Yeah. But, uh,
my dad is...

My dad.

And you looked for his
car in a junkyard,

but all you found
was a guitar pick

that belonged to a gay dj named.

Angelo Sorrento.

No no.
The guitar pick

belonged to my Angelo
and the gay Angelo...

Sorrento was, ah...

- I'm... I'm sorry, I...
- Oh no. ( Chuckles )

No, it's fine.
It's just, I...

It's hard for me
to follow sometimes.

It's just... I kind of wish
you already... knew.

'Cause, uh, then you would
have lived it with me,

but, uh...

That's impossible
'cause you didn't live...

Let's just go back to talking
about sea turtles some more.

Okay.

( Car approaching )

Hey, honey!
How'd it go?

What did you make tonight?

Did you boss make
those mussels again?

'Cause I'm dying to try them.

No.

Is everything okay?

Did something happen?

I'm just tired.
I'm gonna go in.

Honey.

If something happened,
you can tell me.

( Curtly ) Nothing happened.

Okay.

Hey, remember that lecture
when, like, 9,000 mosquitoes

were attacking us?

( Weak chuckle ) Yeah.

- That sucked.
- Yeah.

So what do you
want to do this weekend?

( Motorcycle revving )

You all right?

Yeah.

Not really.

Alex, it's...

"It's not you."

That's what you're gonna say.

"It's not you,
it's me."

I am so sorry.

I... I just think
that I'm...

Hung up on someone else.

Yeah, I could tell...

( Sighs ) From your
reaction at the book party.

I don't want to
be hung up on him.

( Water splashing )

Wow! Night-time practice.

You're really taking
this competition thing

with me seriously.

Hey. You okay?

( Sighs )

I got demoted to dishwasher.

He thinks that having me
in the kitchen is unsafe.

That's ridiculous.

He's not right, is he?

How can you ask that?

( Softly) I don't know.

He's not.

Okay, so good.

But it doesn't matter
if he's right.

That's what he thinks.
That's wheveryone thinks.

Deaf person... burden.

You just have
to prove to him...

Because the kitchen
would collapse

if you turned
your head half an inch

while you're talking to me.

World chaos if you learned,
I don't know,

three signs!
Chicken, ribs, crab.

It's not that hard.
That's it!

That's all he has to do!

- Whoa.
- ( Deep sigh )

I'm gonna be stuck
as a dishwasher,

or a truck driver

for the rest of my life.

I really don't think
that you're gonna

end up a truck driver.

You're wrong.

I've seen it.
We get...

Pigeonholed.

Well, I don't know
about other people,

but I know about you.

You're different.

Everyone thinks
they're different.

Man, I am really failing
at this pep talk.

Don't worry about it.

Kathryn, what
are you doing here?

I heard you got fired
or moved to the back.

How did you hear that?

I called my friend.

Honey, they can't demote you
just because you're deaf.

First of all, it's not legal.

Yes, it is.

He thinks I'm unsafe.
He's allowed to find

a different place
for me in the kitchen.

That's just absurd.

- Look, we'll get you an interpreter...
- No.

It's too crowded in there,
they'll get in the way.

I don't want an interpreter.

That's fine. Then he's
just gonna have to

give you some time
to work out a system.

- I'm gonna talk to him.
- No no no! You can't talk to him!

- Someone has to.
- Kathryn, no!

Is there a problem here?

- Well, actually...
- No, chef. No problem.

You sure?

We're fine.

Kathryn, if you say anything,

I swear I will
never forgive you.

Daphne.

I mean it.
Go home, please!

- ( Laughs )
- I am 42 years old and I am still

a little embarrassed
by the lady at the pharmacy.

Try to hide these
behind like, you know,

- five packs of gum.
- ( Chuckles )

Wow.
You're sure hurrying

things along, aren't you?

I told Daphne I'd be home by
10:00 to read over her papers.

Well, chop-chop.

You know, in a couple years

I won't have Daphne
at home anymore,

and we'll have
more time...

You know, if we're
still together by then.

- I certainly hope we are.
- You do?

Yeah. I may not
believe in marriage,

but when I think
about my future,

- you're always in it.
- I am?

( Giggles )

Me too.

The cast is coming off.

- It's time for business.

How am I supposed to fall

do things like that?

But I need to,

because I can't be with you.

No no. You don't...

You don't just get to sleep
with someone else and then

pull the we're-
meant-to-be card.

Yeah. I'd say sleeping

with my brother's girlfriend

and my childhood enemy

while I was off
talking to your parents

about how to help you

is not "handling things right"!

I do know.

But you

ripped the fabric apart.

You can't just tape it
back together with words.

( Engine starts )

♪ Where to now?

Honey, I...

- I just wanted to...
- Hi, I was gonna find you...

You first.

I've been through
this kind of thing

my whole life...

People saying stupid things,

being uncomfortable around me,

telling me what
I can and can't do.

I cry, pout

and feel sorry for myself.

And then I handle it

on my own.

( Crying ) Okay.

No, say it.

I have only been your
mother for a few months,

and I just...

I wanted to protect you.

That's okay.

I should have
talked with Regina.

My mom only knows
where the landmines are

because she stepped
on them all.

( Chuckles ) Really?

I think it's
different for Regina.

I mean I heard how she told off

that little league coach
when you were 10.

What she didn't tell you is

I banned her from
going to games

for the rest of the season.

( Laughing )

What are you gonna do?

( Deep sigh )

I guess go back

and try to get
a system like you said,

make him realize
I'm worth the extra effort.

You are.

You are.

I put up a mirror.

I can see that.

Is it okay?

It's okay.

( Footsteps approach )

( Knocks on door )

Can I come in?

Sure.

We haven't really
had a chance to talk

since you've been back.

I missed you around here.

Thanks.

Daphne finally told me
what happened with Emmett.

I figured.

I love that kid,

but what the hell
was he thinking?

And I wish that there was
something I could do to make you

feel better.

But sometimes you just
gotta live through it.

I know.

But thank you for everything you've
done to help Angelo get out.

It's like a bright star in the
sea of crap of being home.

No problem.

You are entitled to get
to know your father.

Judge: I've considered
your papers, counselors.

Do you have anything
to add before

I make my ruling on
Mr. Sorrento's removability?

Government lawyer: Only that
Mr. Sorrento came to this country

to avoid prosecution
for an aggravated assault...

That's in your papers.

Mr. Mullavey,
anything new?

I would only stress
that removing my client

would unfairly separate him
from the daughter he only

recently discovered...

That's in your papers.

I got it.
Mr. Sorrento.

The criminal charges
against you in Italy

were reduced
and you paid a fine. Yes?

- Yes, your honor.
- So you are no longer a wanted man.

That's good.

And the unique circumstances
of your daughters...

Uh, should I say
both your daughters...

Are compelling,
to say the least.

But while compelling,

those circumstances don't
rise to the level of hardship

if you were to be removed.

You haven't been a presence

in the girls' lives
until now and they have

three other parents.

Moreover,

this court is troubled

by your overstaying
the initial visa

by several years

before your latest attempt
to enter the country.

Mullavey:
During which time he was

a model, law-abiding
citizen, your honor.

Yes, law-abiding,

except for
the initial law he broke

by overstaying his visa.

And while the Italian court

reduced his charges,

it didn't absolve
him completely.

This court can't ignore the
pattern of law-breaking.

For this reason,

I grant the government's
petition for removal

and order Mr. Sorrento
return to Italy.

( Gavel bangs )

What just happened?

I'm so sorry, Bay.

The detainee will be taken back

into custody

and he'll be placed on a plane

back to his country of origin

within 48 hours.

I'm sorry.

( Sobbing )

I'll go.

Bay, stop!

There has to be
some kind of appeal.

I'm sorry.
There's not.

It's not fair.

I just met him

and now they're taking
him away from me.

He's never gonna
be at my graduation.

He's never gonna be
at my wedding.

I feel like I'm never
gonna see him again.

You can... you can
text and Skype,

( stammers )
And you can visit him.

I will take you.

I just thought that we had
some kind of future together...

You and me and him.

It's so childish.

I'm so sorry.

I know it's not your fault.

I know everyone did
everything they could.

I'm gonna go.

Will you, Angelo

Do you have the rings for us?

That's fine.
