But let's get into it.

In 1958, after eight years, the Supreme Court rules that the state can't take your passport over your politics, and the Robesons get theirs back.

They relocate to London.

A couple years later, Paul is in Moscow.

He's entertaining in his hotel room, and some uninvited guests arrive.

Then Essie, who's back in London, gets a call telling her that Paul is in the hospital.

She rushes to Paul's side and is told that at some point during or after this party, Paul went into his bathroom and slit his wrists.

He was discovered and brought to the hospital experiencing some kind of a mental breakdown with severe hallucinations and extreme paranoia.

The doctors treat him with mild tranquilizers.

This seems to help.

Paulie arrives in Moscow.

He checks on his dad.

Then he grabs a meal.

He suddenly begins experiencing some kind of a mental breakdown with severe hallucinations and extreme paranoia.

After a week, Polly recovers, but Paul does not.

At times, he seems fine, and at other times, he's dangerously depressed and completely disoriented.

And then Paul's London doctors suggest that Essie check him into a clinic called the Priory to receive special treatment.

Essie agrees.

But after a few months, she finally lets it slip that she's worried about Paul's treatment plan.

So Polly rushes to London, and he's horrified.
