After Everything

All of us have demons.

All I want is a relationship with my daughter.

He's an alcoholic and so were you.

You face them.

And just when you think you're winning,

it turns out.

They weren't your demons to begin with.

What the fuck?

Oh, fu...

Vance!

It's not what you think.

You're getting married tomorrow!

I was gonna tell you ages ago, but your mom didn't want.

Tell me what?

Hardin is Christian's son.

- I'm so sorry. - Fuck off!

Hardin.

It was. It was a mistake.

Which part?

Christian told you?

My love, if I could go back.

If I could go back, if...

I should have told you.

Yeah.

Hardin!

Ooh, yeah.

- Hi. - Hey.

You sure you wanna do that?

I'll get one of those.

Your dad.

Ken.

You know, we were like brothers.

And then you fucked his wife.

That's not how it was.

I loved your mum.

She was head over heels with him.

But then when he went to university, he wasn't there.

He was wandering around. He was always busy.

And. she turned to me for emotional support.

That's how it became intimate.

Spare me the fucking details, okay?

I had this ridiculous notion that we'd run off together and.

She'd marry me instead of Ken.

Then they announced they were expecting.

And that was that.

This is just brilliant.

And Mum, Ken and you lying to me my entire fucking life.

Ken didn't know.

I think deep down he's always suspected her.

That was when he really started drinking.

You could have stopped all of it.

My entire fucking life could have been different

if you weren't such a fucking coward.

Smith, you can go dance with them. Go on.

Does he know that Hardin is his brother?

Where's Hardin?

I don't know. He bolted.

What?

Maybe he needed some space.

Wait, Tessa.

Oh, Christian, you should see him.

He's growing up so fast.

He's a little man now.

And so talented.

His essay got chosen to run in a paper.

Well done, Hardin.

Can you tell him I said that?

He's brilliant.

He's like his father.

Look, I gotta get going. Um, let's talk again soon.

Yeah. Of course.

Bye, Christian.

Hey, keep it down.

Ken!

Hardin, who gave this to you?

Vance.

- Ken! Ken! - Stop! You're ruining it!

Hardin!

I'm so sorry.

Hardin?

I've been looking for you.

Wanna drink?

No.

Come on, let's go back to the hotel.

Not yet.

Okay. Please, Hardin,

I'm really cold and tired. And I just wanna go back...

Tessa, you're not the one who just found out

his entire life was a lie.

So, either have a drink with me or go.

Okay. I'm gonna get us an Uber.

You know, I'm pretty sure

that she would have locked it before she left.

Hey!

Hardin, please. I know you're upset,

and I know you're angry. And you should...

You know, I hear her screams

every single time I walk in this place.

Okay, we need to leave.

Years I've spent hating a man

who as it turns out, I didn't even need to fucking like!

Don't touch me.

What's the plan? What are you gonna do here?

Are you gonna burn your mother's house down?

I'm gonna burn the fucking place down, yeah.

So, you're gonna get arrested, you know that? Right?

Which is why you should leave.

No! I'm not... I'm not going without you.

Tess.

"If two people love each other,

there can be no happy end to it."

Don't quote Hemingway at me.

Why are you always trying to find

some sort of light in me, Tessa?

Wake up. There is no fucking light.

I have fucked up parents,

fucked up past. - Look at my parents!

So, I have a fucked up head now!

My Dad's homeless, for God's sake.

It's not a fucking competition!

Hardin, please, give me the lighter.

Please, Hardin, can you think about what you're doing?

Hardin?

Oh, my God.

Hardin, we gotta get out here.

Get the fuck off me!

We need to go!

All right, Tessa, you take my car.

- I can't. - Yes, you can. I've got him.

Come on, man, we need to go. - Now, you wanna play hero?

Where were you?

Where were you when she was being beaten

to a bloody fucking pulp?

Fuck away from me!

You're too late!

I'm sorry, all right?

- I don't care. - I'm sorry!

Come here.

I am sorry. I should have been here for her.

Listen to me!

I should have been here.

But you ruining your life isn't gonna make hers better.

We need to go!

Come on! Get out, now!

Go, go!

Go.

Dispatches unit.

Where are we?

I don't know where. I just kept driving.

Where's Vance? Is he.?

I texted him. He's okay.

But, um.

He told the police that he started the fire.

He's got lawyers.

And that's not gonna change anything.

He still lied to me for 21 years.

He's your father.

As of yesterday.

We should get back.

Thank you.

Please.

Just let me try to explain myself.

No.

Not right now anyways.

Pull over.

I think I should stay here for a while.

Why?

Because.

Because I just keep dragging you into my shit, Tessa.

It's not fair.

Please don't push me away.

I love you.

Tess.

Touch me.

I love you.

I love you.

What are you thinking about?

I wanna stay like this forever.

I'll get the bags.

Go check on Kimberly, take a shower.

I'll be fine.

Kimberly, Tessa's here.

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

Where's Hardin?

I could feel him withdrawing with every breath.

I'm-I'm sorry.

I don't want to bother you with this.

You're already going through...

No. Tessa, there is no rule that says

only one person can be in pain at a time.

And for selfish reasons, hearing about your problems

makes me feel slightly better about my own.

Talk to me.

I feel like I'm drowning.

And I want to make it work, but I just.

I don't know if I can keep fighting

against the current to save him rather than myself.

Yeah.

Concierge brought this up.

Shit.
