Previously, on Necessary Roughness...
Nico, I need somebody like you to come work for me.
Nico: Mark Cuban offered me a job...
- In Dallas. - Are you gonna take it?
Not sure what's left for me here.
I think you're looking for an excuse for this to fail
because you're still in love with someone else.
- Dinner tonight? Just the two of us? - Yes.
Nico: It's Nico Careles, Mr. Cuban.
I'm in.
Man: You'll need to come with us.
Division champs. Conference champs.
You know what that says to me? We almost won.
Gentlemen... Nobody remembers second place.
From now on, we celebrate a championship,
or we don't celebrate.
Is that clear?
All: Yes, coach! Is that clear?!
All: Yes, coach!
This guy's about as much fun as a hemorrhoid.
Yeah, he's gonna be living up our asses.
New ownership felt like Coach Purnell
had taken this team as far as he could.
Tom Wizinski has 10 playoff runs,
4 championship rings.
Okay, so, what? He just packed up and left?
Well, they gave him a nice buyout. He'll land somewhere.
You don't seem particularly upset.
Trades, hirings, and firings --
the only constant in football, Dani, is change.
You were all asked to bring an item
that represented last season.
Has everyone brought something and put it in the bin?
All: Yes, coach!
Good. Henry, do the honors.
[ Lighter clicks ] Last year... is history.
[ Metal clangs ]
Those gloves helped me catch 300 passes
in the last 3 seasons!
And yet they never snagged you a ring,
now, did they, Mr. King?
Last year is a bad dream that just went up in smoke.
This is a new team.
The future is all about winning.
All right, stretch them out. [ Whistle blows ]
Man: Come on, boys! Hustle up! Get out there!
Coach Wizinski, I'd like for you to meet Dr. Dani Santino.
Hey.
Uh, let me have those reports, Jimmy.
[ Whistle blows ]
So, team therapist, huh?
They, uh -- they come to you when they have mommy issues?
Actually, they come to me with any issues.
You know, football at this level
requires both physical and mental fitness,
as I'm sure you know.
Well, you know, I-I shake a lot of hands.
People are always amazed at how strong my fingers are.
You know how they got that way?
Years of carrying around this kind of hardware.
Got three more of them in my trophy case.
Planning on getting one more for my thumb.
I'm here to make winners out of this team.
And to win, players need it simple.
There are no secrets from me.
With all due respect, Coach, the therapist/client privilege
is not an option like cole slaw or potato salad.
It is an ironclad rule.
So if you are suggesting
that I become some sort of stool pigeon,
that ain't gonn' fly.
Oh, okay.
Then you're fired.
[ Sloan's "Believe In Me" plays ]

I just did.

I'll make that happen.

[ Inhales sharply ]
Should we really be drinking at 11:00 am?
Matt knocks up Noelle
just as you're about to get back together...
Mm-hmm.
- ...marries her, to boot. - Oh, right.
Your son runs off with an heiress,
and you get fired from the Hawks.
I was there. I don't need the recap.
All I'm saying is you have A-plus reasons
for heavy drinking, regardless of the hour.
Salud. [ Chuckles ]
Mm.
But we don't have to have a pity party or anything
because I'm gonna put some feelers out
to some other teams,
and, you know, I'm gonna be fine.
Pfft -- the Hawks will be calling you in no time,
begging you to come back.
I don't know about that. It's been a week.
[ Cellphone ringing ] See? I bet that's them now.
[ Clears throat ] This is Dani.
Nico: You still in the helping-people business, Doctor?
Nico?
I know. It's been a long time.
Where are you? Are you all right?
There's a limo in your driveway. I need you to get in.

Hello.
Hi. Welcome to V3. Can I help you?
Uh, according to my driver, I'm supposed to see, um...
Connor: Dr. Santino. - Yeah?
- Over here. - Hello?
Hello. Ah. The savior has arrived.
Wait right there.
Okay.
I'm glad you could accept my invitation.
I'm Connor McClane. Welcome to V3.

So, V3 is sports management?
Well, that's like saying Apple makes computers.
I mean, sure, we handle the best athletes on the planet --
the four bigs, plus soccer, tennis, golf, even cricket.
Someone's got to teach me the rules of cricket.
[ Chuckles ]
Also, we're a global leader in fashion,
media, entertainment.
We got our fingers in --
it looks like you have a question.
Only one.
Connor, I need five minutes on the Lebron thing.
Gonna have to happen after lunch.
All right, go ahead. You were saying?
Uh, I was asking, uh, what exactly am I doing here?
Good question-- hold on one sec.
[ Beep ] Bobby, look. We both know the deal is a nonstarter.
And, quite frankly, I'm insulted.
Now, you bring back something that insults both of us,
and maybe we have a deal, okay?
Goodbye. [ Beep ]
Sorry. You have my undivided attention.
Was that guy on mute the whole time?
Can I offer you something to drink? Water, soda?
Spirulina hemp shake? Uh, nope. I'm good.
Jasmine, hold all my calls, and see if you can find someone
to teach me the rules of cricket over dinner, will you?
Right away.
Ah, perfect timing.
Dr. Santino, this is my C.F.O., Troy Cutler.
Hi. I'm the big-idea guy.
Troy executes.
Ah. Well, that sounds ominous.
In other words, he schmoozes and gives magazine interviews.
I actually work for a living.
I'm sorry. Uh, this tour has been lovely.
But I'm actually wondering why I'm here.
Dr. Santino, have you ever seen $100 million before?
Mnh.
Well, you're looking at it.
Each of these folders is a multimillion-dollar offer
from a premium brand. Okay.
We have an 18-year-old pitching phenom -- Darryl Hutchinson.
Killer attitude and a 100-mile-an-hour fastball.
He's probably going first in the baseball draft next month --
make him an overnight millionaire
and a likely superstar.
The thing is, the kid is hair-on-fire terrified
about getting on an airplane.
Ah. Away games -- that's a big problem.
Yeah. If the kid can't fly, he can't play pro ball.
All 20 folders go bye-bye.
Rumors are already starting
to float around the league that the kid's a head case.
Now, if we can't get him on a plane next week
for his tryouts in Kansas City, his draft status will plummet,
cost the kid millions, maybe even his whole career.
That is why you're here.
Loop, swoop, pull! Right foot forward!
Loop, swoop, pull!
What are we doing?
We're digging for frogs.
What does it look like we're doing? We're tying our shoes.
Yeah, I know we're tying our shoes, but why?
Mr. King.
You're late.
Nyet. I'm right on time, Coach.
No. 10 minutes early is on time.
See page three of the Wizinski Bible,
which was e-mailed to everyone last night.
Ah, that's a problem. You should have tweeted it.
I'm not really checking the e-mail these days.
Kind of 2012, you know?
Yeah, see page 11 -- shoe tying. [ Laughs ]
Well, I don't really have to tie the shoes
'cause I've got these dope velcro straps.
No, velcro is for people under 8 and over 80,
not pro athletes.
On the line!
[ All groaning ]
Since Mr. King showed up late, wearing the wrong shoes,
everyone runs until he gets back with the right ones.
[ Whistle blows ]
Don't stand there like a jackass. Go!
[ Applause ]
What's happening? We just signed
the Heisman trophy winner from Alabama.
It's a little tradition we do here
I like to call "the welcome home."
And you do this for all your clients?
Mm-hmm, and employees, too, when they sign here.
Huh.
So, Daryl Hutchinson.
Well, I have decided
that I will take on your client as my client.
But I got to ask you,
what does Nico Careles have to do with any of this?
Ask him yourself.
Man: Whoo!
Uh, will you excuse me for just a sec? Sure.
This dude is a mofo!
By "mofo," I assume you mean Wizinski.
Yes. He's crazy. He's loco.
He -- he's unbalanced. He's deranged.
He's cracked in the cabeza. You got to do something.
He's a deranged maniac. I'll get right on that.
You think this is funny?
"T," he's our head coach and our G.M.
All right, his methods may be a little unorthodox,
but he's a proven winner.
He has turned around three losing teams.
And more important, he's here to stay.
I think you got to ask yourself --
are you gonna be the kid
who keeps getting kicked out of class,
or do you want to get with the program?
Fine.
But if I got to deal with coach crazy,
I need to see Dr. D. That's not gonna happen.
I need to see Dr. D.! Not gonna happen.
Look. Wizinski is bringing in his own guy from Chicago.
He's supposed to be one of
the best sports shrinks in the business -- a Dr. McTavish.
I am not gonna download to some fool I don't even know!
That's what you said before you talked to Dani.
Dani: Excuse me.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Excuse me. Excuse me. Yeah.
Nico: Hello, Doctor.
Oh!
I believe I owe you a phone call.
Mm-hmm. And I believe I owe you this.
Last I know, you're going to Dallas to work for Mark Cuban.
You don't say goodbye to me.
You don't answer my calls. You don't answer my texts.
You just vanish down some Nico rabbit hole,
and then you pop up like a freaking Jack-in-the-box
asking for my help, and for a patient?
I apologize for falling out of touch.
Where the hell have you been?
Here.
- You work here? - Mm-hmm.
- Explain that. - It's complicated.
Yeah, let me repeat myself -- I thought you were dead.
I spent months worrying about you,
losing sleep over you,
and then I come to find out that you're just --
you're here, working in New York, security.
You really do know how to torture people, don't you?
Connor wanted me to make an introduction, so I did.
I heard it wasn't working out so well with the Hawks.
I'm sorry.
I'll bet you're sorry.
There you are. Dr. Santino, car's ready for you.
Mm-hmm. [ Cellphone rings ]
Ah, got to take this.

His friends call him Zeus
'cause he throws lightning bolts.
And V3 Academy is a boarding school
for student-athletes.
Elite student-athletes.
We give them that competitive edge --
best training, best facilities.
We take students and turn them into superstars.
You get ahold of them young, huh?
Oh, don't tell me you're a cynic there?
Just from New York.
It goes with the territory. Uh-huh.
So, Kansas City, huh? Is that where he wants to go?
Well, not really, and I'd rather him be in New York,
but you got to go where you're drafted.
K.C. has the number-one draft pick this year.
Mm.
Yo, "Hutch"!
Hey, Connor.
You see that last pitch? Gun had me at 101.
Well, obviously there's something wrong with the gun.
No one pitches that fast.
Oh, yeah? Ow!
Have you met me? [ Both laugh ]
Dr. Santino, this is Hutch.
This is the woman I was telling you about.
Shrink lady, right?
[ Sighs ] It started about a year ago.
I was on a flight home to Arizona,
hit some real bad turbulence.
[ Sighs ]
Nobody was hurt, but it was terrifying.
Have you flown since? Yeah.
At first, I wasn't having full-on freak-outs,
but it's been getting worse and worse.
Last time, my heart was pounding like a jackhammer.
I thought I was having a heart attack.
Well, with the draft coming up and all this money at stake,
that's a lot for an 18-year-old.
If baseball pays me a lot of dough, that's awesome,
but I'm in it because I love the game.
The mound is the -- it's the one place I feel happy.
Are you happy here, at the Academy, away from home?
You kidding?
It's the greatest thing that happened to me.
I've spent four years at V3.
Connor and Troy have given me
everything I need to reach the dream,
and now I'm gonna blow it over something this stupid.
Hey, Hutch, fear of flying is not an uncommon phobia.
And luckily, it's one of the easiest to tackle...
If you're motivated.
Have you met me?
Good.
So, then we are gonna face this head-on.
We're gonna get you on that plane to Kansas City -- pyow!
But first, we're gonna do a dry run.
I understand that you have to be in Philly
for an interview, right?
Yeah. With some reporters, Thursday.
Excellent.
Then we have time for a few sessions beforehand.
So, the international man of mystery returns,
and you whack him.
That is so "Fifty Shades."
Did he take you into his arms and throw you up against a wall?
No. I should have thrown him up against the wall.
I mean, he's making me sweat all those months,
and the whole time, he's only working a bridge
and tunnel away?
What kind of person does that to a... a friend?
Maybe you broke his heart,
and seeing you was too much for him to bear.
You're not actually reading
that "Fifty Shades" of porno, are you?
What do you think got me through
all those sleepless baby nights?
Hmm. Don't be too mad at him.
He did get you this gig.
And I will be glad when it's done.
After what he put me through,
I never want to see "Sir Sneako" ever again.
I know how this ends -- hate sex.
It's the best worst kind.
[ Chuckles ]
♪ Right, right, right, right, right ♪
Okay, why can't we just drive?
I mean, we can get there in like an hour and a half.
It's Philly. It's just a 30-minute flight.
We're getting on the plane, but we won't close the door,
and we won't take off unless you say you're ready.
[ Plane engine roars ]
Look at me.
Look at me -- Darryl. Listen.
You've heard that expression "Keep your eye on the ball?"
Well, right now the ball is Kansas City.
This is the first step in getting you there.
Those stairs take you to your dream...
But you need to decide how badly you want it.
Look, I can't breathe.
I feel like I have a boulder on my chest.
I'm sweating. I feel light-headed.
I'm gonna throw up. I'm gonna...
Okay.
Look at me. See how calm I am?
I want you to repeat after me --
"This is a safe and easy way to travel."
This is a safe and easy way to travel.
Again.
This is a safe and easy way to travel.
We have been sitting here for 20 minutes.
What do you think our odds
that this plane's ever gonna take off?
Well, if this was Vegas, I'd bet against you.
But it's not.
Darryl: No, this is not -- I can't -- I can't -- no! No!
Oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh!
I am going to give you something to calm you down.
This medicine has no side effects
and it kicks in immediately.
What -- what is she giving him?
Let it play out. She knows what she's doing.
Don't I need permission to take meds?
Already got it.
Okay, okay.
All right.
You're going to start to feel calm almost immediately.
Your breathing will slow,
your muscles will unclench,
and you will suddenly realize that everything's okay.
Ow. [ Chuckles ]
Pitchers have strong grips.
Sorry. I, uh -- I thought my ball got the worst of it.
It's okay.
But that pill should be kicking in right about now,
so you just say the word.
Close the door.
You can close the door.
[ Sighs ]
Man, these pills are awesome.
Uh-huh.
What are they?
Skittles.
It's called the placebo effect.
Fear of flying is all in your head,
and I wanted to show you how powerful your mind can be.
You can calm yourself down anytime you want.
Dr. McTavish: A zombie?
Yeah.
I think I'm a flesh-eating zombie.
How long have you had these feelings?
Ever since I was bitten by that other flesh-eating zombie.
[ Laughs ]
That was a joke.
[ Chuckling ] Your -- [ Clears throat ]
Don't therapists normally have a couch?
Some.
And don't they normally have, like, you know,
snacks and niblets that their patients can partake in?
Some.
[ Pen scratching ]
What are you writing in your little pad there?
Details I like to remember.
Oh. Getting the scoop there, huh, Wolf Blitzer?
That's how the unabomber started.
Got himself a little pen, a little pad,
started writing down stuff he wanted to remember.
Do you know what he wanted to remember?
Buildings, so he could blow them up.
"Double Windsor knot. Way too fat for his frame."
♪ Do-do, do-do, do-do ♪
"And still has a price tag on his pants."
Cute. You stole those.
[ Scoffs ]
Terrence, would you like for me to put the pad down?
That's my whole damn point, homeboy.
I don't see why you need a pad. Dr. D never wrote anything down.
She remembered everything I said because it was important to her,
plus, she had a sofa, okay?
With some comfy-ass pillows.
I don't mean "ass pillows." I mean...
This -- this is a waste of time.
You know what? And yours.
Terrence, is there something I can get you
that would make you more comfortable?
Yeah... Some jelly beans.
[ Radio chatter ]
[ Clears throat ]
We're gonna play "20 Questions."
How come you didn't go to Dallas?
Change of plans. Yeah, but why?
And how come you didn't call me back?
And what, are we back to one-word answers
like "Pittsburgh"?
Mm. That's three questions.
And no answers.
Are you gonna slap me again?
No... But I'd like to.
Pilot: Ladies and gentlemen,
please return your seats to their upright position.
We'll be starting our descent in just a few moments.
You better get back to your seat.
You're not off the hook.
[ Baseball thuds ]
[ Tires screech ]
- Where are we? - We're in Philly.
You did it. You're okay.
No, I'm not.
Hutch?
Hey, talk to me. What's happening?
My arm's numb.
Hey. Okay. Somebody help me!
Look I -- I can't -- I cannot feel my arm!
Do you know what this shows?
I'm not a medical doctor.
Well, that much is clear.
I will tell you what it shows.
It shows that nothing
is physically wrong with Hutch's arm
and nothing was wrong with his arm -- period --
until you talked to him. So... [ Sighs ]
What the hell did you say to him?
[ Chuckles ] What did I say? Yeah.
The kid throws like Koufax, and then he talks to you,
and he's got Muppet arm. What did you say? [ Sighs ]
Firstly...
My conversations with Hutch are confidential.
And secondly, nothing I say can make his arm go numb.
Connor: All right, we got a kid who won't fly,
and now he can't pitch.
He's got to be on -- and off --
that plane in Kansas City in five days.
What now?
I think that Hutch is suffering
from a sort of conversion disorder --
a psychosomatic illness.
It started with the fear of flying,
then it became about the numbness in the arm,
and it might eventually become about something else entirely.
So, he's making it up?
Oh, no. It's very real to him.
All right, what could cause this conversion disorder?
It's usually triggered by some external stressors.
Mm.
I'd like to see his medical records.
Oh, so now you are a medical doctor?
I'm sorry. This is ridiculous.
You want to know what's ridiculous?
Bringing me into a fight with one hand tied behind my back.
I happen to know my way around two things --
mental health and Sicilian cooking.
So why don't you help me help your client,
or else let me go home and cook some lasagna
where people are not second-guessing me
at every turn?
All right, Nico, will you give Dr. Santino
Hutch's medical records, please?
Sure thing. [ Clears throat ]
We don't have time for a fishing expedition.
We brought on Dr. Santino to do a job.
Let's let her do it.
Quite frankly, we're out of options.
There's a gap.
What kind of gap?
In your attendance record -- I noticed that you were absent
for two weeks from school last June.
Do you remember that?
Kind of. I had some bug.
What kind of bug?
I don't know.
They thought I had mono, but tests were negative.
What's this got to do with flying, with my arm going numb?
Oh, I'm just trying to piece together
whether or not you've had bouts of this before.
If you're asking when I first became a basket case,
I don't know, all right?
All I know is that I was flinging 100 miles an hour.
Now I'm barely clearing 70. How is that all in my head?
Being a first-round draft pick --
that's got to be a lot of pressure.
[ Chuckling ] Look, I tossed a shutout
in the Little League World Series when I was 12.
I have had scouts poking around since I was 14.
I mean, pressure -- it's never bothered me before.
I eat pressure for breakfast, you know?
We talked about how powerful your mind is.
Well, yours is sabotaging you...
For a reason.
All of my dreams are about to come true.
Why the hell wouldn't I want that?
Nonspecific virus?
This whole case is a nonspecific virus.
[ Inhales sharply ]
Oh.
[ Whistle blows ]
[ Grunting ]
Man: Come on, ladies!
Man #2: One more. That's it, man. You can do it.
♪ Oh, yeah ♪
Hey, Larson, don't you make a mess on my field.
Coach, I really don't feel like calling an ambulance today.
They don't know what sacrifice is.
Until they do, they'll never win the game that really matters.
Larson, you good? Larson: Yeah.
Get him some fluids, and get his ass back out here.
Mr. King!
Because you stopped,
everyone here is gonna run until I get tired.
Again!
What?! That's ridiculous!
And that just cost you $1,000.
He's stroking over here, Coach. We all are.
Are you trying to kill the team? And that's another $1,000.
Every single word that comes out of your mouth
is another $1,000.
Well, I'm done talking, homeboy. How about that?
Screw you, screw the Hawks. And screw your rules.
I quit.
Keep it going!
It's fourth quarter. That's when it counts.
What the hell are you doing?
About to get Chinese food in Yonkers.
You want to come? Stop it.
After everything that you've been through?
You're throwing away a chance
to work with the best coach in football?
[ Laughs ] [ Alarm chirps ]
You're never gonna get this chance again.
Hell, you leave like this,
you may never get your shot in the league again.
You didn't even fight for her.
What are you talking about?
Dr. D.
She saved my ass.
She saved your ass.
She saved this entire team's collective ass,
and all you did was wipe her and flush her.
Terrence, I'm sorry that she's gone.
Right. Right.
All right?
"T," come on. You've been in this game long enough.
You know.
Players, coaches, executives, therapists --
they come and go.
Yeah, well, he came, she goes, I'm gone.
Nico: Crabchek?
Yes, June of last year,
there was a kid at the Academy named Joseph Crabchek
who withdrew from the draft.
And?
And there was never any mention
why he left or how he left in the press.
So I'm thinking that maybe it's the missing piece.
Did you ask Troy or Connor?
No, I was hoping that I wouldn't have to.
Hey. Listen.
Can you stop being Nico for just a second?
You brought me here to help this kid.
I'm telling you there's a missing piece
and that I need your help to figure it out.
I'll see what I can find out.
Okay.
Dani...
...if I told you it was for personal reasons --
not going to Dallas...
...could you accept that?
If I have to.
For the record, I never meant to hurt you.
Ditto.
[ Sighs ]
He quit?!
Drove off in the middle of practice.
Wow. I'm sure that went over really well with the coach.
Look. It's probably too late, but you got to do something.
All right? You're the only person he's gonna listen to.
Have you forgotten that the Hawks fired me?
He's not my client anymore.
He just needs someone to talk him down.
[ Clicks tongue ] The team has a new therapist.
You've got him on speed dial.
You can't just pick up the phone?
What, to push your agenda?
He's not my friend. He's a former client.
There's ethical issues here.
Jesus, Dani.
You know, you didn't have a problem with my rules
when we were on the same team.
Look. I'm sorry how things went down, all right?
Wizinski's an ass. No one's gonna deny it.
I'm sure that if you went in
and sat down and talked to him --
you mean apologize to him on bended knee
and maybe I'll get my job back?
No. Okay?
We could make nice for a day or two.
And then, on the third day,
we would be having this conversation again -- and again.
Let's face it.
My time with the Hawks is over.
[ Knock on door ]
Hey. Mind if I come in?
Oh. Okay.
Matt: Nico.
Thought you were in Dallas.
Uh, yeah. It didn't pan out. I'm still in town.
Oh, we have a client together.
Heard you were having a baby. Congratulations.
Yeah. Thanks.
Well, hey. This reunion has been fun.
[ Chuckles ] But I got to get back at it.
Good night. See you guys.
[ Sighs ]
I assume that you haven't come here to chitty-chat.
I found something I thought you'd like to see.
A police report... Joseph Crabchek.
From June of last year. Look who the witness was.
Darryl Hutchinson.
Tell me about Joseph Crabcheck.
Joe Crabchek? He's ancient history.
Well, he may be a current event, too.
What are you, a time-traveling therapist?
Leave it alone.
If I could time travel,
I would go back and figure out who stole your toys.
What's with the games? I don't --
O-okay. All right.
Can you grab the door, please?
Joseph Crabchek was a kid here at V3
who opted out of the draft last year.
Yes, I read those articles.
All right, so, what's this have to do with Hutch's arm?
I think everything.
Darryl: [ Sighs ] Joe Crabchek?
What about him?
You tell me. What's there to know?
Uh, he was a year ahead of me at the Academy.
Besides Joe being the best pitcher I ever knew,
he was a stand-up guy.
So, he was well-liked.
Well-liked?
[ Chuckles ] Look. The dude was a legend.
All the pitchers looked up to him --
tough, funny...
Had a wicked-hard slider no one could hit.
He was set to go early in the first round.
Just like you.
Yeah.
What happened to him, Hutch?
Uh...
One night...
About a week before the draft, uh...
[ Inhales sharply ]
...Joe went bonkers in the dorm.
One second he was joking, and the next he's crying,
running through the hallways ripping off all his clothes,
ranting and raving.
You know, the coaches -- they tried to get him under control.
They literally tried to sit on him,
but, I mean, he's scratching, clawing at his arms.
The next thing, he's -- he's smashing windows with his fists.
There was...
there was glass a-and blood everywhere.
How do you know all of this in such great detail?
Because I was there.
The police came...
took him away in handcuffs.
And then?
And then Joe dropped out of the Academy.
He wasn't drafted, and...
and I never saw him again.
And then you missed two weeks of school.
I was sick.
You were traumatized.
And I think that you still are, Hutch.
I believe that you are suffering
from an undiagnosed form of post-traumatic stress disorder.
And your fear of ending up like Crabchek --
it's leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Okay, but if the great Joe Crabchek
can't handle the pressure then...
How the hell can I?
Your destiny is your own.
You're Darryl Hutchinson, not Joe Crabchek.
And you've already taken a crucial step
that Crabchek never did.
What's that?
You're getting help.
I wish that you could stay and cook for me forever.
Look at us.
I'm the stay-at-home cooking mom now.
You're the hot working woman, men at every port.
God, I miss being a sailor.
Oh, God. I miss being a mom.
I mean, my daughter's never home,
my son's never coming home, far as I can tell,
and I am back to pounding the pavement for work.
I'm sorry about the way things turned out with the Hawks, Dan,
but silver lining --
you don't have to see Matt every day
and pretend you don't hate him.
I don't hate him.
I don't. It was totally amicable.
You know, he felt like
he owed it to Noelle and the baby
to see if they could make that family work,
and, you know, so did I.
But it still sucks, so let's not pretend.
[ Cellphone rings ]
Gusto? Hi, baby!
No, no, I put the extra diapers in the grey suitcase.
[ Knock on door ]
Help me, "Obi-Wan k'Dani." You are my only hope.
I'd be happy to schedule you an appointment at a normal hour,
like, say, when the sun is up.
When have you ever known me to be normal?
Mm. Speaking of which, I quit.
The Hawks.
That means I'm a free man -- a.k.a. unemployed.
[ Sighs ]
What happened?
Coach is a douche.
Matty "D" is a douche-b, and I gave myself the bag.
Upside is I can still be your client.
Terrence.
Are you sure that you're ready
to give up your career with the Hawks?
There would probably be no career or T.K. without you.
He can't just take you away from me.
He doesn't own me. It's not "Django."
Okay, that's what this is about --
you and me.
Matty D didn't fight for you.
He let coach break up the band.
You may not agree with your coach or his tactics,
but his track record is pretty hard to argue with.
So, if you want the ring, then this may be your best shot.
I know this is difficult,
but therapy isn't supposed to be a forever thing.
Oh, so, now you're breaking up with me, too?
No. I'm not going anywhere.
But, Terrence, you have come so far in these last two years
that maybe you are ready to fly solo.
♪ I know it's a struggle ♪
♪ I know that you're blue ♪
♪ you should know I'm here for you ♪
So, how was the trip to K.C.?
Got on and off the plane with no hiccups thanks to you.
Good. He should continue to improve.
But he needs to find a good therapist in Kansas City.
Great. Anything else?
Well, I was wondering
why you never mentioned Crabchek's meltdown.
Dani, we lost a kid --
not something you like to dwell on.
Okay.
Troy: Connor. Sir.
I just got word from K.C. They're out.
They heard about Hutch's flying issues,
and they got cold feet.
What does that mean for Hutch?
Well, it would be a disaster if I didn't
just get off the phone with the Yankees five minutes ago.
And?
And I convinced them that Hutch was of sound mind and body,
and they're gonna take a flier on him
at the end of the first round.
You son of a bitch. You pulled it off.
Just doing my thing.
Okay, wait. What just happened?
I've never won a ring --
not in high school, not in college,
and damn sure not here in the pros.
Just so I'm clear...
this is an apology?
I will do whatever it takes to get one.
You see those?
There is a method
to what appears to be my madness, Mr. King.
Think of this season as a trust exercise.
All you have to do is fall back.
I'll handle the rest.
Just so you know --
there won't be any more second chances.
Connor: We were never thrilled about the kid going to K.C. --
small market, unlikely to compete.
Lower draft slot means less money up front,
but he'll pull down a hundred times more in endorsements
if he works out here in New York.
So you leaked the fear of flying to K.C. to scare them off,
and then hoped that I would fix Hutch
in time for the draft and for the Yankees.
Nico said you were the best. He didn't lie.
Hey, since Hutch is staying here,
can he continue to see you? Yes.
Here is my card.
Don't need to send a limo. Just have Hutch call me.
Duly noted.
Santino. Proposition for you.
What?
What are you doing the rest of your life?
[ Laughs ]
What kind of proposition is that?
I'm offering you a job -- here at V3.
You'll have your own office, assistant,
expense account, unlimited resources.
I'm flattered, but I just got out of a whole --
You'll do the most interesting work of your career
with the most interesting people on the planet.
You'll be well compensated, well taken care of,
and extremely appreciated. Yes or yes?
[ Laughs ] Oh, boy. You really are good.
What's the catch?
Close your private practice and be exclusive to V3.
Oh.
Santino, I spot greatness for a living.
[ Elevator bell dings ] You're an all-star.
Time for you to play on an all-star team.
We could do great things together.
What are you afraid of, Santino?
Flying?
Hey.
Is everything all right?
You have a minute?
Yeah.
I just wanted you to know that, um,
I went to bat for you with Wizinski,
and no deal to be had there.
Oh. [ Laughs ]
Well, I appreciate that, but it was totally unnecessary.
No. No, it was necessary. T.K. was right.
You have been as valuable to that team
as anyone who's come through.
Change is the only constant, right?
But... you didn't come over here to tell me something
I already knew, did you?
I'm leaving the Hawks.
What?
When?
Right away. Tomorrow.
Going to be the G.M. for Boston.
Been courting me for a while.
Boston's Noelle's hometown,
so it all seemed to make sense, you know?
Congratulations. That's -- wow.
That is a -- that's a big change.
Guess we're both moving on.
Sorry, Dani...
for everything.
[ Voice breaking ] There's no apologies required.
I wish you so much luck.
You too.
