Redeemed Page #3

puts in front of her

without question.

But...

I don't trust men

as a result.

I'm afraid to get close

to them in fear that

they will leave.

You're single?

I mean, I'm just...

I just assumed a woman

like you would,

be in a relationship.

I suppose I haven't met

the right man yet.

I want to know what

you are thinking right now.

Excuse me?

Let me guess.

You think these reports could

fool a young girl from Brazil?

I thought you just said

that the reports were in order.

- I'm kidding.

- Oh.

I'm kidding.

- Well, that's not funny.

- I'm kidding.

But they tell me

what you've done,

and I want to know

where you're going.

I want to know

what is not in the reports.

I want to know your secrets,

Paul Tyson.

I want to...

know what you are hiding.

Beth, honey, can you get that,

pretty please?

Beth?

Hello?

Hey, you still at home?

I called you over an hour ago.

- You're missing the game.

- Oh!

I must have

fallen back asleep.

Sorry, I was at the office

all night with Julia.

Honey, I can't hear.

Hold on.

What? Who's Julia?

She's the liaison from Brazil.

I thought I told you about her.

Oh yeah, you did.

You just never mentioned

she was a woman.

Didn't I?

No. Alright,

I'll see you soon, okay?

Okay.

Paul!

Huh?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, fine.

What's that all about?

What?

Nothing.

You know, l thought

you might not have

been up for date night

tonight.

Are you kidding?

Come on.

Oh, sorry.

Well, maybe we can

make it an earlier night.

Sorry.

Are you sure

every-thing's okay?

Yeah, every-thing's fine,

Beth, really.

You know, Matt said that you

missed men's Bible study again.

A lot going on

at work is all.

I'm just gonna

go ahead and say it.

It just, it seems like you've

been so busy at work lately

that you don't even answer

my phone calls anymore.

I'm sorry I missed

the soccer game.

It's just a game.

I've got a lot

going on at work.

You wouldn't understand.

So what do you hear

from Liz and David?

Nothing.

Liz has just basically

disappeared.

I'm so disappointed in David.

None of us can begin to

trust ourselves apart from God.

Isn't that what Pastor said?

Infidelity is

an outside threat, Beth.

It's like a common burglar.

A man should be able

to protect his family.

Jericho status report.

What's the rush?

Julia wants it.

I'm supposed to

meet her at noon.

I thought this was

for your eyes only.

There are things in here we may not

be ready to share with the outside.

I'll get there early,

and I'll proof it.

Don't worry.

Thank you.

I'm meeting someone here

in about an hour or so.

I'll order then?

Thank you. Appreciate it.

You're early.

I respect a man

that's punctual.

Shows his attention

to detail.

I brought the R&D reports,

the projection analysis based

on the Project Jericho roll out.

I'm sure Tycor

has a very bright future.

Well, I have

worked very hard

to keep that company

in the forefront.

To think that you've

managed all of this

while raising a family

and being a devoted husband,

well, I've yet

to meet a man like you.

Thank you.

It's true, too many successful

men ignore their families,

and somehow

you found the balance.

Well, my wife...

Doesn't appreciate

everything that you do

to keep the machine running?

I mean, a guy can't go to

every soccer game, right?

I know exactly

what you mean.

Ooh, wow!

Can I be honest with you?

Yes.

I'm not sure

if this report is accurate.

I haven't had

a chance to proofread it.

It's okay, Paul.

It's okay.

I know that you

are a very busy man.

Off the record here?

Of course.

Every friendship is

founded on trust, no?

I'm not sure that

Project Jericho is really ready.

Paul, may I admit something

to you, as you say,

off the record?

L...

Oh, no!

It's alright, sorry,

I just... I'm sorry.

I wasn't paying attention

to what I was doing.

I just...

I'm sorry,

I spilled everything, and I...

Sit, please.

This is so embarrassing.

I'm sorry.

I brought the R&D reports,

the projection analysis based on...

Oh, whoo!

Ay, well, something tells me

that we are not going to be

getting much work done today,

so I do have to wrap this up,

and I'm afraid that I have to

be in Brazil by next week, so...

Brazil?

Why so soon?

Because it's home.

Of course, it's home.

Mm-hmm.

Of course, yeah.

I'm gonna print out

another one of these for you.

Please.

Let me know.

I will.

Yes.

I'd like to make

an appointment.

Mr. Tyson.

Dr. Howell, thanks for

seeing me at the last minute.

Well, we had a last-minute

cancellation.

You're lucky.

My last client of the night.

Thank you.

So you say here that you're

having feelings of anxiety.

What medications are you

currently taking?

None, I don't take any.

Well, then you've

come to the right place.

No, no,

I'm not here for that.

I need help.

For the last week or so

I've had difficulty...

How do I say this?

Concentrating.

I have this issue

with my company,

but I've been so distracted

by this...

this other thing, yeah,

that I just haven't been able to

take care

of the work at hand.

Other thing?

I'm attracted to a woman

that I work with,

and I'm married.

Now I see.

So, how long have you

been having an affair?

Oh, no, it's not like that.

I don't even think she knows

that I think about her.

So, what you're saying is

that you haven't physically

consummated your attraction

to her in any way?

No, it's not like that.

Well, perhaps you've

shared videos, photographs,

and texts with provocative

overtones?

No, like I said,

I think that she assumes

this is strictly

a business relationship.

Well, that's what it sounds

like to me, Mr. Tyson.

The feelings of

attraction to women is normal,

if not downright healthy.

I can't stop

thinking about her.

It's interfering

with my job

and my marriage.

I'm supposed to be renewing

my wedding vows in a few days.

Once again, you cannot control

your more base desires.

I mean, if every married man

that dreamt of sleeping

with another woman

sought my counsel,

I'd be a very rich

doctor indeed.

- The Bible says...

- Oh.

The Bible, oh, I see,

religious guilt,

not as profitable as fantasy,

but it's kept me

in good shape.

Paul, listen to me carefully.

You need to understand

the feelings that you're having

are no way a threat to your

relationship with your wife.

As a matter of fact,

if your wife had the right

attitude about the whole thing,

she could find it

actually enhance it.

I don't see myself

being able to convince her

of that anytime soon.

I bet the emotional

excitement you get

from flirting with this woman

just brings more vitality

and passion to your marriage.

You just mentioned you want

to renew your wedding vows.

Well, that kind of energy

is a renewal in and of itself.

So I'm not doing

anything wrong?

Wrong is not a word we like

to use in my profession.

No.

You think for the time being

there is no wrong.

There is no wrong.
