Too Close to Home

He's your father.

- Shut your lying mouth. - He's Mac's father.

Previously on Too Close to Home...

How did you open that?

J.B., he said this would help my memory.

Mixing these will kill you.

I thought you'd be more excited to see me.

You gotta give me a second, okay?

- I want to talk to you about Regina. - What about her?

Know that I know and I'm watching.

You just be my eyes there. He's addressing the nation.

We will do a sit-down where there will be more

fireworks in America than on the 4th of July.

- Sheriff, what's going on? - We got to get this cleaned up now.

Sheriff, I haven't even talked to Mama yet.

Well, you better get somebody to get Frankie to come over and talk with her.

- You can go to hell. - You could be evicted.

- Yeah, I'm on it. - Where you going?

Eli's coming to pick me up.

No, you're not to go out of this trailer. You understand me?

I promise you on my life

I would not let him do to her what he did to us.

- Mr. President. - Yes, Rose.

Numerous sources are reporting that you had a heart attack, is that so?

No that is not so.

So the American people want to know what happened?

I think my doctor said to explain it, it was a mild arrythmia caused

by a spike in mercury in my blood stream.

So where did the mercury come from?

Listen to me. There was nothing nefarious here.

I have eaten a lot of fish on my travels abroad.

So, you are saying that it's from the mercury in the fish?

That's what this doctor's saying.

Next question.

- Yes, sir. - How much Mercury was in your blood?

Enough to cause an arrythmia.

Believe me when I say this: I'm the picture of health.

My doctors have told me what they have told you.

The heart problem was not a heart attack, but a mild case of arrythmia

which has been treated and taken care of with a minor surgery.

I'm completely fine. Yes, Nancy?

Mr. President, there are rumors you were with a staffer

from the Social Office when that happened.

- Is that true? - I know that in today's age of

scandals, there is always a thirst for another one, but

there is no scandal here. Ms Hayes was briefing me on

something that was on my calendar for the following morning.

- Were you alone with her? - No, my secretary Judy was there

and the door was open the entire time.

Can you clarify why she was there, sir?

Nicky, you guys are fishing. Really fishing. There is nothing here, okay?

As I stated before, Ms Hayes was there briefing me on

something that was on my calendar for the following morning.

Is that standard protocol for a staffer from the Social Office to be

- at the Oval Office at that late hour? - Well, standard or not.

As you know the Asian summit is coming up and there is a lot of context that

we have that are on a much later time zone.

So, we were trying to accommodate them by being available to them in

- their business hours. - Mr. President.

Mr. President, it is said an overdose

from a male stimulant caused your heart attack.

It also said that you were in the act of having sex

with Ms Hayes on the desk in the oval office.

That Secret Service pulled your lifeless body from the desk to give you CPR.

My lifeless body.

What do you say to that?

I say that is ridiculous.

I find it highly offensive the imagination of some people.

Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to get back to what's

really important, and that's running this country.

Just know that I am fine. I am fine, thank you.

- Good job. - I'll say.

- Someone is talking. - Sir?

How would Rose know all those details?

Someone is definitely talking.

I'm positive that no one here is speaking.

Maybe it's your whore from Alabama. She can't keep her lips or her legs closed.

- Sir, I don't think that should be... - She knew a lot of details.

- I'll say. - Will you shut up for a moment?

Will you go to hell for a moment?

- Judy. - Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir? - I know I don't need to ask this,

but have you... spoken to anyone?

- About what, sir? - About the other night.

You mean when you were in the Oval Office with Ms Hayes?

Yes.

Only to the people that the press secretary told me to.

And what did you tell them?

I told them what happened. That... I sat at my desk

and this door was open the entire time.

Yes.

- Thank you. - Yes, sir.

That will be all.

Well, you've got her trained better than my yorkie.

Well, it wasn't her.

- No, it's me. - Will you stop?

- No, I'm telling you it's me. - Katelynn, I know you didn't.

- I'm telling you that I did. - I don't buy it.

Well, Rose did, and by the way, a pressing matter, did you

really say that? That is such... code for "I'm hard and I want her."

Only someone with a warped mind like you would think that.

Oh, I think Rose thought so.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Christian, please.

We have to sit down with America Now tonight.

- I want to be sure you will be ready. - Of course.

And you will stand with your husband?

Don't worry, I will handle this pressing matter. I will nail it.

- Mr. President. - She'll be fine.

- Are you sure? - What did I say.

Yes, sir, but we need to make sure she's on your side.

She will be. Don't worry about her.

She will be.

- Where are you going? - Wherever you are.

- No, go back inside. - No, I'm not going back inside.

- I'm not kidding. - Do you think I am?

You're being pathetic.

Rebel, you shouldn't be hanging around Eli's, you get it?

- You believe that crap. - Yeah, I do.

- He's not our father. - Rebel, listen to me...

No, Mac... you can't believe that.

How could that happen? He's a nice guy. Rory really likes me.

Don't care if Rory likes you. You shouldn't be hanging around Eli.

You shouldn't tell me what to do. I'm going.

- Then I'm going, too. - Go back inside!

No, I'm not going back inside.

- I don't think this is a good idea. - Well, it's happening, li'l darling

I don't think she'll do well with this.

Look, I'm glad you could try and help.

In other words, you are going to leave me the hell alone.

No, in other words, thank you.

No, I know what you meant.

So... have you been getting along here, huh?

I'm fine.

I know it's not what you are used to.

Look, anything is better than what I'm used to.

And I'm at peace hear and... I have you and Brody to thank for it.

- So thank you. - You are welcome, darling.

And I would never tell you to go to hell.

- Yeah, to my face. - No... never.

- Are you flirting with me? - Hell, yeah.

Okay I'm sure Jenny wouldn't like that.

She would probably tell you to take me, please...

- might even pay you. - I'm not doing either.

- Give me a call if you need me. - What, you are not going to stay around

- and help us clean? - Okay, that is not in my comfort zone.

That is not a good idea.

What? Do you think we're done?

I'm so confused. Who the hell is she?

Come on, help me clean that over here.

Oh for God's sake. I'm tired. I will see you.

- Tired, you haven't been doing nothing. - Well, she needs to be doing it.

- She can't, you know that. - Well, it ain't my fault.

- It's yours. - How the hell is it my fault?

You keep feeding her, trying to kill her.

- Shut up. - I really wish you would.

- Oh, make me. - Will you three stop it and

come and help us? Huh? Come on.

Shelby. What y'all doing?

- Trying to clean up this mess. - Come on, let's go.

She ain't going nowhere with you.

- I gotta pay you. - I said, she's not going anywhere.

Let me see that, did you get paid?

Ohhh, that looks very nice, thank you very much.

Gimme my cheque.

- Hey! No you, come on. - Not until you finish.

- You're not going. - We've got to go.

Let me go.

- Oh please, please let her go. - No, I've got to keep my eye on you.

Come on, let me go.

Dammit, let's help him out for a little bit until she gives you back the check.

- Wah! - Do something! Aint my fault.

- You are still at it, huh. - It's looking better, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah it is.

- Not a good idea, I know. - Have you spoken to her?

No. Just inside rummaging around and screaming about everything.

This isn't a good idea.

I'm sorry, but it's got to be done.

I hope you have a plan when she breaks down.

- Yeah, you are the plan. - I tried in the beginning.

Look, when she breaks, it's going to be like

a dam of rushing water with the emotion and...

if you keep this up it's going to happen quickly...

- and she may not come back. - It's just trash.

Not to her, this is emotion, it's pain, anger, it's rage,

it's years and years of holding on to stuff.

- Is it really that serious? - Yes, yes it is.

- Believe me, I know. - She hasn't seen it in years.

- This is a control for her. - It's trash.

That she controls. And if you take it away from

her, I mean, you are taking her control away.

- This is not good. - Well...

Thank you, Frankie. We don't really have a choice now, do we Sheriff?

No, no, we don't.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

- Yes, ma'am. - We are aware.

- We are very aware of that. - Thank you.

Get this cleaned up, boys.

Excuse me.

Yeah?

Can I talk to you?
