[Indistinct chatter]
Don't you think you've had enough?
No worries, officer. I'm well within my limit.
Are you still upset about Brody?
- No. - Because it was my fault.
I mean, he didn't want to keep what we were doing a secret.
Stop, stop, stop, I don't want to talk about it or Brody.
- Well, I think we need to. - No.
You're being an idiot.
I'm being a brother.
We used to be partners.
Now we're not.
There, we talked about it.
- Ugh, thanks. - Ah!
- Hey, there he is. - Danny, hi.
- Abby. - Here. Abby is not keeping up.
Yeah, because Abby has to leave.
Aw, that's too bad. Because Danny is celebrating.
You are looking at the newest assistant state's attorney.
- Oh! - Wow, congratulations.
Ooh, nice, man!
Hey, Abby, doesn't the rat squad
work closely with the state's attorneys office?
Yes, we do,
and we prefer to be called the dickmo unit.
Looks like you two
will be seeing a lot of each other.

[Humming]
[Knock at door]
Who is it?
It's Danny. I've got your brother.
Danny, hi.
I thought you had Richie.
Ugh.
He was pretty adamant about helping me celebrate.
Maybe too adamant.
- I'm gonna call Laura. - No, no, wait a week.
PMS.
Thank you for driving him.
Don't worry about it. It was on the way.
- Abby. - Hmm?
Danny is perfect for you.
Oh, okay. Time to go night-night.
You went to college. He went to college.
He's a Bears fan, and you're a Bears fan.
[Muffled talking]
Uh, it always worked when we were kids, so...
You know, I know that you're the youngest,
but it seems like everyone depends on you.
You're kind of like the glue.
Well, I used to be the glue,
and now I'm-- - Dried-up glue.
- No, I'm-- - you're the black sheep.
No, stop helping! I'm me.
I'm just waiting for some members of my family
to realize that.
Yeah, Richie said your dad's still upset
about the whole I.A. thing.
What else did my brother tell you?
Stop it.
Ooh, no more hot dogs?
My O.B. told Carlos they were bad for the baby.
Something about bacteria or rat feces.
But onions are okay?
No one's forcing you to watch me eat.
No, I love watching you eat all day long.
Hi. Can I help you?
Yeah, are you I.A.?
Yes. Abby Kowalski.
There's an officer stalking my mother.
Lina Flores. She's my partner.
Ryan Spencer.
Go ahead, Ryan.
The officer sits outside our house for hours.
I made a video.
Sorry, I know it sucks.
But this guy calls our house constantly.
He leaves flowers.
And some nights my mother wakes up
in the middle of the night screaming.
Why doesn't your mother report the officer herself?
She can't. She's the district shrink.
Your mom is Trish Alexander?
Yes, ma'am.
I've worked with Trish for years.
She's a great lady.
I know. I think so too.
Does your mother know you're here?
No, but she can't report the officer
because of some stupid law.
The HIPPA law.
She's scared enough that she sent me to live with my dad.
Are your parents divorced?
- Yes. - For how long?
Ten years.
But I always thought they'd get back together
until she married Tony.
He pretty much killed that dream.
You don't like your stepdad?
He's okay.
Look, I just want her to get help.
Even if you have to arrest me and take me to jail.
You know what, Ryan?
This case just became our first priority.
You don't happen to have the officer's name?
I just know he's Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Mom packs Xanax on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Dingleberry!
Where's my Dingleberry?
Holy shit.
I'm gonna have to stop calling you Dingleberry.
[Laughter]
Richie?
How are you?
It's been too long.
How's Don and Sheila?
Got a Christmas card from Abby. Still single.
What is going on with that girl?
But no cards from you.
Are you still with that girl from high school?
No, no, wait now, you got married.
You married somebody else. Linda? Lindsey?
Laura, Laura, yeah.
But hold on a sec, Aunt Edie,
what are you doing here?
I'm your new partner.
[Laughing] Yeah.
It'll be like old times riding with your dad.
So what happened?
With?
With your old partner?
[Exhales]
Come on, Sweet Pea.
If we're gonna be rolling together,
there cannot be any secrets between us.
Out with it. What is it? It was nothing, all right?
It was just, I needed a change of pace, that's all.
Yeah? All right, I hear that.
Wow, I can't get over how big you are.
The first time I saw you, you were, like, this big.
[Clears throat]
Uh, listen, Aunt Edie, if you don't mind
waiting by the car?
I'll finish getting ready.
You got it, Sweet Pea. Now, chop, chop though.
We have got some scumbags to bust.
[Sighs]
You need to stop talking to Ryan about this.
You're upsetting him.
Why don't you just report him?
[Knocks]
- Hi, Trish. - Hi.
How could you go behind my back?
It wasn't me.
Ryan came to our office.
Your son is very upset.
Yeah, me too.
I can't believe Ryan came to see you.
As you can see, my wife disagrees
with me and my stepson
when it comes to her safety.
Then you should know we've opened a case.
We need the officer's name.
You know I can't break confidentiality.
Yeah, well, I can.
Okay, so his name is Mike Fletcher.
And he's not a real cop,
he's a summons officer. - Tony!
Look, Detective Flores knows him quite well.
She's the one who sent him to you in the first place.
Enough!
I'm sorry, Lina.
No, it's okay.
I understand you're upset, sir.
Do you have any concrete evidence of the stalking?
Yeah, okay.
Here.
He took a photograph of Trish naked in our shower.
Is that concrete enough for you?
Did anyone see Fletcher take the picture?
- No. - We'll have the lab test it
for fingerprints and footprints outside your house.
Is it true Fletcher calls you at all hours
and parks outside your home?
You know I'm not at liberty to discuss my patients.
We understand you're trying to help Fletcher.
Then you should also understand it's my job.
I have an obligation to my patients.
What about your personal safety?
- Where do you draw the line? - Where the law draws the line.
I always have to ask, is he a threat to himself or others?
Are you saying Mike Fletcher is not a threat?
If you don't believe he's a threat,
why did you send Ryan to live with his father?
Do you know how many officers I see a week?
A month?
Officers suffering from PTSD,
bipolar disorder, addiction.
Officers whose careers I have to end
because their job ruined their lives.
Mike Fletcher is the least of my concerns.
I respect that you are trying to help Mike Fletcher,
but some people are just beyond help.
Three months ago Jill Glantz,
a coffee barista at the county courthouse,
accused Fletcher of stalking her.
I investigated it. Girl was terrified.
She told me about the harassment,
but she refused to wear a wire
or let me record it. What happened?
The case was kicked back with an unsubstantiated.
He said, she said.
Fletcher is a wannabe cop.
He tried to pass his test five times.
And that's why he's just a summons officer?
Jill's too afraid of Fletcher
to even file a restraining order,
and now he's turned his attention onto Trish.
It's only a matter of time before he hurts someone.
Richie, hi. What are you doing here?
I can't talk right now. I'll call you later.
[Hums]
Hey.
Laura, hi.
So, are you still seeing Trish?
- Yeah. - About the shooting?
No, just, you know, a lot going on.
Oh, did you hear I got a new partner?
- No. Who? - Aunt Edie.
You're not still calling her Aunt Edie?
You do realize she's not really our aunt?
No, Abby, I didn't realize.
She still a kick?
Oh, my-- and a whole lot more.
Anyway, I got to go.
Bye.
- Hey. - Hey.
Fletcher called Trish 25 times a day for the last week.
That should qualify as "Unwanted obsessive attention
including harassment and intimidation."
Well, it would if Trish would tell us
she was harassed or intimidated.
I finally have someone strong enough
to put this bastard away, and she won't help me.
You know, if you want to hand this case off
to someone else, I completely understand.
Now you sound like my husband.
Carlos is worried? So am I.
I'm okay. Really.
Let's just get this guy off the street
before he can stalk anyone else.
[Sighs]
Oh, hey, glad to see you.
- Really? - I have a question
about HIPPA laws.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
was enacted by U.S. Congress in 1996.
It called for the establishment of standards and requirements
for transmitting certain health information
to improve the efficiency and effectiveness
of the health care system while protecting patient privacy.
Anything else?
Can I pull a department psychiatrist's file
on a sworn officer she's counseling
who I think may be a threat to her?
- Sure. - Great.
If you want to pay 50 grand in fines
and do a year in prison. - Should have led with that.
- Any way around it? - I'll have to look it up.
- Can I get back to you? - It's important.
You got it.
- Hey. She came. - Who came?
Jill Glantz. The coffee barista.
Have you ever been stalked?
It feels like you lose your life.
I'm sorry you have to go through this again.
When was the last time you saw Fletcher?
One week after you dropped that case.
You promised me you were gonna put him away.
Jill, we know you're upset.
You have every right to be, but we really need your help.
No way. Nope.
The guy is crazy.
After this whole thing, he would come
by the coffee shop and he would leave me notes--
"You're dead."
I got so scared I had to quit my job.
Why didn't you tell me?
So you could do what? Bust him?
That's what you were supposed to do the first time.
Jill, has Fletcher ever taken any photographs of you?
No, but he did kill my cat with barbed wire.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no, he can't see me here. Please, please.
- He can't see me here. - I'll go talk to Fletcher.
- You get Jill to her car. - Okay, come on.
Spread your legs. Wider. Come on.
You guys are out of your territory.
It's a free country, last I checked.
Oh, you guys aren't down here
collecting street taxes, are you?
That wouldn't make it such a free country, would it?
Hey, those are my Benjamins, "pat bo."
Watch your mouth, "mow ley."
The bitch stole my c-notes.
Hey, you steal from my gang, you die.
You threaten an officer, you die.
I don't want to see you two clowns Southside again.
Understood?
Get out of here.
I need a drink.
I don't know. Got another two hours to go.
Are you a stick in the mud like your old man?
No.
Okay. No.
All right, Fletcher,
we both know why you're here.
I'm a hopeless romantic?
You're an emotionally disturbed individual
who gets off intimidating women.
You got any evidence of that?
You've been accused of stalking Trish Alexander.
Bullshit.
By who?
- Not by Trish. - We have videotape
of you sitting outside of Trish's house at 3:00 a.m.
Really? I'd love to see that.
Because I bet that you can't see my face.
And I bet that you can't read my license plate.
We're getting the video enhanced.
In the meantime, would you mind explaining to me
why you call Trish 25 times a day?
She digs me.
What can I tell you?
Look, Trish is having some troubles at home.
She is in an unhappy marriage.
I'm ordering you to stop seeing Dr. Alexander.
I will assign you a new therapist.
No. No.
You can't stop me from seeing Trish.
- I just did. - No, you cannot--
- I just did! - You!
If you come within 100 yards of Trish or her home,
I will have you arrested.
Are we done?
Forensics didn't find any fingerprints
on the photo of Trish and no footprints outside of her house.
I can't stand the thought of him out there.
I know, but we had nothing to hold him on.
I put a 24-hour surveillance on him.
If he tries anything, we'll know.
We need evidence of harassment.
- We'll get it. - Your sister's here.
I don't have a sister.
[Sniffs] Richie doesn't know I'm here.
You have to promise you won't tell him.
I promise.
Now will you please tell me why you're so upset?
Richie doesn't want kids.
What? Since when?
A few days ago. No explanation.
Just "I don't want kids."
That doesn't sound like Richie.
What am I gonna do?
Have you talked about it in therapy?
He won't discuss it. Every time I bring it up,
he just shuts down.
- What do you want me to do? - Talk to him.
Oh, no, Laura, that's not a good idea.
Please, Richie trusts you.
If anything's going on, I just need to know,
'cause I'm running out of time.
You're not thinking of leaving him.
No.
I'm pregnant.
You're pregnant?
Oh, my gosh.
That is great news.
And now I understand why you're so upset.
Yeah. Will you talk to him?
Abby. Trish Alexander's been shot.
I have to go with her.
No, no, no, sweetie, you can't. You can't.
I'm sorry. But she needs me.
The paramedics are giving her
the best care possible,
and I need you here.
Okay? May I?
I gave it to her when she got her license.
- I was five. - I promise I'll get it
back to you, okay?
Now what time did you find her?
We had plans for dinner at 5:00 p.m.
- I got here around 4:45. - Did she know you were coming?
Yeah, she cancelled her appointment with creepo.
- She promised-- - What did she promise?
That instead of seeing him she'd hang with me.
- Dad. - Ryan, are you okay?
I'm Owen Spencer, Ryan's father.
- Trish's first husband? - Yes. What happened?
We're still investigating,
but I may need to ask you a few questions.
I'd like to get to the hospital actually.
It'll just take a moment.
Just wait for me in the car, okay?
When was the last time you spoke to Trish?
- Just before 3:00 p.m. - Did she seem upset?
- No, she seemed fine. - Was anyone with her?
Do you think one of her patients did this?
We don't know.
I'll let you get to the hospital.
If I have any more questions, I'll find you.
Okay, thank you.
Flowers. Bag this.
Fletcher lost his surveillance team 40 minutes ago.
This isn't your fault.
I pushed him too hard. He went off.
You heard what Trish said.
She's been threatened by a lot of people.
Look at these tapes.
Fletcher.
I told Fletcher
to stay away from Trish.
She cancelled his appointment.
It sent him over the edge. He wanted revenge.
You don't know that.
Look at this.
From the position of it,
I'm guessing she didn't have permission
to record her clients.
And that would be illegal if I saw it.
It's a good thing you didn't see it.
[Cell phone rings]
I'd like to handcuff that.
[Beep]
Hey, Laura.
I can't talk right now.
I don't know.
Yep.
Okay.
Listen to me, Sweet Pea.
I've been married four times,
so I know.
Marriage is not natural.
It is not the way God made us.
If we were meant to be married,
we would be born with rings on our fingers.
Thanks. This is really helping.
I'm telling you the truth.
All marriage is is agreeing
to take on somebody else's crap.
Save your freedom.
'Cause ultimately that is all we have got.
Freedom.
Can you not call me Sweet Pea?
No problem, Pumpkin.
What's the matter?

No. She knows better.

You won't, will you?
No.

I went out, and I delivered a warrant
to Westchester
right around 4:20 p.m.
[Laughs]
What are you doing after this?
I'll get back to you.
Oscar-winning performance, Dirty Harry.
Same to you. I sent out officers to check out his alibi.
- We believe him? - Easy alibi to check.
- Makes me nervous. - I think Fletcher's all talk,
no follow-through.
He mangled a cat with barbed wire.
Maybe, but something feels off.
Either way, he's not going anywhere tonight.
You need to go home and get some rest.
Hi, it's Detective Abby Kowalski
from Internal Affairs.
I'm looking for a progress report
on Dr. Trish Alexander, please.
Still no signs of consciousness?
Okay, well, keep me posted.
I love the way your hair looks when you wear it down.
I only wear it that way at home.
How would you know what it looks like?
I know everything about you.
I love you. Why don't you believe me?
Because we both know this isn't about love.
I love you. Stop saying I don't.
Do you love me the same way you loved Jill?
No. She betrayed me.
Is that why you killed her cat?
I never killed her cat. [Knock at door]
- That girl was lying. - Who is it?
It's Danny. I have that info you wanted.
You said it was important, but you didn't answer your phone.
Come on in.
Whoa, does this thing come with spark notes?
- Very funny. - Seriously.
The only case that I found
that's even remotely similar to yours
is U.S. versus Ramirez.
She worked at a doctor's office
and sold some files
to an FBI agent for $500.
She got six months in prison.
Six months?
Mm-hmm.
Please tell me I'm not interrupting
a felony in progress.
What, are you gonna prosecute me?
I might have to hold you for questioning.
How about a beer instead?
So you're dog-sitting, huh?
Yeah, while my parents are sunbathing in Florida.
You got any pictures of your dog?
Ah, of course.
Oh, he's adorable.
- This is Cosmo taking a bath. - Oh.
Yeah, I got to completely fake him out to get him into the tub.
'Cause if he sees me grab a towel,
he just runs away and hides.
One time it took me two hours to find him.
Seriously? How big is your house?
It's not that big.
Oh, but, you know, he's crafty.
He went into the closet and hid
under this shirt I had. - Oh.
- Yeah, he's-- I mean, look at him.

You're very odd.
Thank you. What are you doing here?
I need some advice.
About Laura?
What? No. Why would you think...
No reason.
Laura came to see you.
- No. - What did she say?
Just don't tell her I told you.
What did she say?
She's upset.
She says you don't want kids.
Is that true?
I don't know.
Some days.
I just...
I love my life with Laura.
All right, and, you know, when I see Steve and Donnie
with their kids, you know, it's 24/7.
They never just go out without their kids.
I like spending my off time with Laura.
Have you told her that?
No.
Laura really wants a kid,
and, you know, I feel like a selfish bastard
because I don't want to share my wife.
I don't think you're selfish.
And neither will Laura.
So what advice did you need?
Mm, hypothetically.
- Really? - Just play along.
So I have this friend
who suspects his partner of playing loose
with police ethics.
- What exactly? - Stealing.
Okay, you need to tell your hypothetical friend
to turn his hypothetical partner into I.A.
But what if this partner is an old cherished friend
that we used to pretend was family?
Aunt Edie?
- It's hypothetical. - You need to confront her.
- Why is it my place? - She's putting you at risk.
Talk to her now, please.
Trish is still unconscious but stable after surgery.
She's on an EPI-drip to maintain her blood pressure.
Fletcher's alibi checks out.
He was handing out a warrant
in Westchester when Trish was shot.
Well, he may have an alibi for Trish,
but he's still unfit for duty.
So what about all the officers Trish had fired?
Every one of them is happier than they've ever been
in their lives, except for the one that killed himself.
He's not a suspect.
Okay, so contestant number one,
usually the first suspect in any attempted murder,
Trish's husband, angry and self-righteous Tony Alexander.
Contestant number two, Owen Spencer, though amicable
on the outside, Owen took out
a $5 million life insurance policy
on Trish three months ago.
And he's a retired Marine, trained to kill.
Looks like we've got some alibis to work on.
And there's contestant number one now.
Are you accusing me?
I'm just trying to establish
your whereabouts yesterday between 4:00
and 5:00 p.m.
You should be talking to Fletcher.
'Cause he was obsessed with Trish.
We talked to several of your neighbors.
Seems you and Trish fight a lot.
Mr. Alexander, I would think
you'd do anything to help us find out who shot your wife.
Well, I was working at my new construction site.
My guys can verify the time.
Can anyone confirm your alibi?
It was a park.
I didn't know anybody.
Why did you take out such a large insurance policy
on Trish?
I guess I can tell you under the circumstances.
Trish and I are still very much in love.
She's leaving Tony and coming back to me.
Can anyone corroborate this story?
No.
But that's why Ryan is living with me.
So why get divorced in the first place
if you're so in love?
I was in the military.
It wasn't easy on Trish.
We were young.
Stupid.
Sometimes...
Sometimes you don't realize what you have until...
Okay.
I'm gonna need the name of that park
and a few minutes with Ryan.
Sure.
Hey.
You want some cake?
My mom made it.
I don't have much of an appetite.
Okay.
Mom raised a finger.
She did? That's great news.
Ryan, what is it?
I mean, this is my fault, isn't it?
This happened because I turned that a-hole in.
No, no, not at all.
When someone is unstable, anything can trigger them.
Really?
Really. But I am curious
how you knew to come to Internal Affairs.
My stepdad said this guy already had a record with you
and it would be a cinch to get him off mom's back.
Tony said that?
Yeah. Why?
Ready, kiddo?
You stay strong for your mom, okay?
Guess who put the idea to report Fletcher
to I.A. into Ryan's head?
I'm guessing the same person who knew
Fletcher had an appointment with Trish on Thursdays.
- The same person who Trish was leaving for her ex-husband Owen.
The same person who thought Fletcher would be
a perfect scapegoat for killing his wife.
But what Tony didn't know is that Trish cancelled
her appointment with Fletcher to have dinner with Ryan.
I'm putting a tail on Tony.
I'm putting a guard on Trish.
- Are you hiding? - No.
Yes.
Is he gone?
I'm going to lunch.
[Clears throat]
- These just came for you. - Oh, thanks.
[Tires screeching]
[Door opens]
[Tires screeching]
[Door slams shut]
- Don't even think about it. - What do you want?
You took everything away from me.
You took Jill. You took Trish.
And now I'm gonna take everything away from you.
Get in the car.
We're gonna go for a little ride.
Oh, you bitch.
Drop your gun or I drop you.
You know, I thought I could trust you.
You thought wrong.
How did you know?
Flowers.
By the way, Fletcher,
you're fired.
Hey, Edie.
Something I've been wanting to talk to you about.
I say get a divorce.
If you're wrong, you can always go back.
No, it's not that.
- Here's our perp. - Let's pick him up.
Freeze, police.
Ah, crap.

All right. All right.
He's got a knife.
I got this. Aah!
You broke my arm. I feel terrible about that.
[Locking handcuffs]
[Moaning]
You coming, partner?
I couldn't find anyone to corroborate Owen's alibi.
Tony's tail said he was acting erratically,
drinking during the day, and screaming at people.
I went through Owen's financials.
He's about to declare bankruptcy.
You know, I have an idea.
We need to get those guys back in here.
- He's gone. - Ahem.
Go talk to him.
I will.
I'm working.

Like what you wanted to talk about.
I can't have a partner that steals.
Then I guess it's a good thing I don't.
We've been over this.
You're asking me the same questions
you asked me yesterday.
That's because people can't remember lies.
They can only remember the truth.
Your alibi didn't check out.
The Foreman said he didn't see you after 3:00 p.m.
There's a guy in the park, a homeless guy.
He is always there. [Cell phone rings]
- Flores. - Kowalski.
Oh, that's great news.
What did Trish say?
Trish told us who shot her.
Oh, thank God.
She's gonna be all right?
Really, she's gonna be all right?
She cheated on me with that idiot ex-vet of hers.
You shot Trish.
She saved everything she had for her patients
and that bratty kid.
Look, I just wanted something, anything.
There you go.
Wow. Thank you.
No problem.
The doctor said it will take a lot of time and therapy,
but mom's gonna be okay.
I never had a doubt.
Am I gonna see you again?
This is Chicago.
We're bound to run into each other
sooner or later. - Are you a Bears fan?
Um, hello, I'm their number one fan.
Well, my dad and I have season tickets.
You have to come with us some time.
You're on.
I am really sorry.
For kissing me or for hiding?
For hiding. I realize it was stupid.
I just didn't know what to say after that kiss,
which was really great, but I shouldn't have done it,
and I'm rambling. Sorry.
You said that already.
Danny, I don't...
You're not ready for a relationship.
I know. But I also know
what that kiss was, and I want you to know something.
I'm not going anywhere.
So the next time you feel the urge to kiss me,
and you will,
you know where to find me.
[Door opens]
Love what you've done with the place.
Have a seat, Edie.
I thought this was a social visit.
It's not.
A complaint was made against you for stealing.
[Sighs]
Are all you Kowalskis rats?
Officer Kowalski did not file this complaint.
My ass he didn't.
You walk out that door, I will suspend you from duty,
effective immediately.
I always knew you were tougher than you looked.
Take a seat.
I am a veteran officer with a Lambert Award,
five commendations, countless arrests,
and a thank you from the mayor.
It's on YouTube. You should check it out.
I have. It's impressive.
But that's not why we're here.
Tell me about yesterday afternoon.
Normal day like any other day.
Well, not according to the complainant.
He accuses you of taking $200 from his pocket.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I have your field report right here.
It clearly states that you and officer Kowalski
stopped two Wu Chang gang members.
Are you saying you lied in your field report?
I'm saying I didn't steal any money.
Edie, did you take the money from the guy's pocket?
Are you actually gonna believe some scumbag over me?
No, that's why I'm asking you
to explain your side of the story.
Why don't we just cut to the chase, huh, Cookie?
We both know why I'm here's
got nothing to do with your concern for me.
You're worried about your big brother.
You think I'm gonna get Richie into trouble.
No.
I think you need to stop whatever it is you think
you're not doing
or find a new partner.
Consider me warned.
May I leave now, Detective Kowalski?
[Knock at door]
We really have to work on your watchdog skills.
Who is it?
Hey, it's me.
- Hey. Come on in. - Hey. How are you?
What a nice surprise.
[Sighs] So we wanted you
to be the first to hear.
Both: We're pregnant.
Oh, my God, that's amazing.
- You two keep hugging. - Thank you.
I'm gonna go call mom.
Thank you. I don't know
what you said to him, but it changed everything.
I can't take any credit.
It was all Richie.
Hey, mom wants to talk to you.
Wow. Pregnant, huh?
Oh, yeah. Crazy.
You really okay?
Yeah, I am.
You know, it was so weird, you know.
The second she told me, I was just--I was thrilled.
I love her so much.
I know you do.
Your mom wants to talk to you.
- Oh. - So we're gonna head out.
- All right. - Talk to you later. Bye.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Hey. Yeah, I know.
He's so excited.
It's your sixth grandchild.
Can you believe it? What did dad say?
[Scoffs]
Okay.
I'll talk to you soon.
