The Caretaker

No.

No, no, man. Please don't.

No, no, no, no, no!

Mm. Good morning, baby.

Hey baby. How was your run?

- It's pretty good. - Uh, ah, ah!

No, that is for the team, back up.

Hmm.

What?

I think Jay's got the hottest mom on the team.

Hey, stop. Go take a shower.

- All right. - Oh, Miles.

Talk to Chase please.

That kid on his team is picking on him again.

Okay.

Thank you.

Jay. Finished our homework?

Yeah.

How you feeling about today's game?

Okay.

I saw you practicing earlier.

Hey, that jump shot looking good?

Yeah.

I hear you having some issues with one of your teammates.

Do you wanna talk about it?

No, it's fine.

Okay, I understand.

Hey, you're a star player on the team.

All we need you to do is stay focused, okay?

- All right. - Hey.

All right.

- Hey, baby. - Hey, baby.

Mm, ah. That feels good.

- Yes? - Mm hmm.

You know, this is the opposite of helping me, right?

You trying to get another baby outta me.

You know, we don't have time for that, right?

Yeah, that's the point.

You don't have time.

Why do you always do that?

Do what?

We were having a moment.

Why do you always have to take it there?

Forget it.

Look, I'm sorry I haven't been around as much.

They hired a new technician,

so things should start to settle down.

All right, if you say so.

Not in the house!

Hello?

Right now?

Yeah, I was about to head to my son's game.

Okay, yeah. I understand.

All right, I'll be there in a minute, bye.

Miles?

Again?

Are you serious?

Hey, keep your head in the game, all right?

I'll make it up to you.

The both of you.

Come on. Come on.

Let's get ready for the game, okay?

Thanks for coming over, girl, I needed this.

You know, I'm always here for you, girl.

I just can't believe that Miles missed another game.

I can't take the constant look

of disappointment on Chase's face.

Yeah.

I mean, he says things are gonna change,

but I know his work is important.

I'm just tired of him putting his job before his family.

It seems like he really does love you and Chase.

I mean, yeah, I know he does, but that's like me.

My job is considering me for a promotion,

but I'm stretched thin as it is.

Right, but not like Miles.

I mean, you're actually here.

Yeah.

You think he's cheating on me?

- Girl. - Auntie Sarah,

Jerry's taking photos of your car again.

What?

They are not giving me the 12 inches of clearance I need.

These two people,

they're on my every last nerve.

Same thing all the time.

What the hell are you doing?

Get away from my car.

Jerry, what's the problem?

You're blocking my driveway.

You're not allowing me 12 inches of clearance.

What? You do know this is a public street, right?

Why don't you go back in the house and have a drink?

A lot of people are complaining around here.

Really, 'cause it looks like you're the only one

out here complaining.

An illegally parked vehicle in front of my driveway.

Must be friends of the Carters.

Girl, just move it to my driveway.

You know, you people are always causing trouble.

- Excuse me? - Listen.

You better be careful what comes out of your mouth next.

Please.

Mm hmm, go back in the house.

Unbelievable.

- Ridiculous. - He's insane.

Girl. He needs a life.

- Yeah. - He need to get some.

Seriously.

Did you see the fight that my coach had with that dad?

- Mm hm, I did. - That was crazy.

That was crazy.

Hold on one second, sweetie.

Hello.

I'm just calling to let you know I'm on my way home.

Okay, great.

It took a little longer than I expected.

It always does.

Hey, it was work. They needed me.

Okay, well, I needed you too.

Why are you so upset with me?

Jerry threatened me today and you weren't here.

Wait, wait, what?

Doesn't matter. I handled it.

Look, you're not the only one

that's busy with work around here, okay?

Are you kidding me?

How many more family dinners are you gonna miss?

How many more practices?

How many more meetings, how many more games?

I'm the one that's here, not you.

Hey, look, I'm doing the best that I can, all right?

You don't prioritize this family

and I'm sick and tired. - Look, I'm sick and tired!

- Hi, baby. - Hi.

I've been waiting for you to wake up.

I know.

I'm just glad you're okay.

Yeah.

Good morning, Mr. Carter.

Good morning.

So, good news.

The surgery was successful in stabilizing your spine.

That's good.

We were able to address the immediate risk

with no additional complications.

How long will it be before I can walk again?

A recovery from this type of injuries

is a gradual process.

We'll set you up with a rehabilitation plan

and recommend a good facility.

I just want to go home, please.

Just, I, I'll need to go home.

- I know. - I understand Mr. Carter,

but the next few weeks are critical.

We can arrange in-home care,

but it is very important that you follow their instructions.

Improper care could lead to permanent damage.

I just wouldn't come home, babe.

- I know, babe. I know. - I just

Our social worker will, can take you.

Okay.

My sweet baby, I'm here.

Thank you. Hey baby.

- Hey. - How you feeling?

I'm feeling okay.

Oh, you look better.

Where's Chase?

Oh, Sarah took him to school for me.

Well, your social worker reached out.

She recommended the caretaker, Eric Chen.

He's supposed to stop by and do your assessment,

so hopefully if everything goes well, you can go home today.

Mm. That's good.

That's good news.

Yeah.

Want some water?

Yeah.

Hello, my name is Nathan Hensley, but please call me Nate.

Hi. I'm sorry.

What happened to Eric Chen?

Well, I'm not supposed to be telling y'all this,

but he's under review for his last patient that passed away.

Tragic.

Oh?

Yeah.

Nobody informed us.

Well, you're more than welcome to call if you
