-[narrator] Previously on Dynasty:
-[George] Mom, it looks very different.
2
00:00:14,973 --> 00:00:17,100
[Sam] Wow, she's made herself Fallon.
3
00:00:17,183 --> 00:00:19,978
We've been trying to nail
Blake Carrington for a long time.
4
00:00:20,061 --> 00:00:22,272
There's nothing that connects
Silvio Flores.
5
00:00:22,355 --> 00:00:24,691
I don't think I fully appreciated
how lucrative
6
00:00:24,774 --> 00:00:26,860
-the gambling business could be.
-I went to the FBI.
7
00:00:26,943 --> 00:00:28,862
The FBI who wants to send me to jail.
8
00:00:28,945 --> 00:00:31,239
They're trying to put Mike Jones in jail.
9
00:00:31,322 --> 00:00:32,240
[shouts]
10
00:00:32,323 --> 00:00:34,159
You always do the wrong thing.
11
00:00:34,242 --> 00:00:36,828
Your son doesn't fight back
because he's protective of you.
12
00:00:36,911 --> 00:00:40,331
I told the painters they could start
on my new office in an hour.
13
00:00:40,415 --> 00:00:41,541
You okay?
14
00:00:41,624 --> 00:00:44,502
"Liam Ridley writes book
about romance with It-girl"?
15
00:00:44,586 --> 00:00:47,130
People think this
is supposed to be Ashley?
16
00:00:47,213 --> 00:00:49,257
It's weird you want me
to parade around with my ex.
17
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:50,341
What would people say?
18
00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:53,052
Your publisher putting out a book
about herself written by her ex?
19
00:00:53,136 --> 00:00:54,262
Not great optics.
20
00:00:54,345 --> 00:00:56,014
I started writing that book
to get over you.
21
00:00:56,097 --> 00:00:58,725
It turned out to be the best way
to tell you how I feel.
22
00:00:58,808 --> 00:01:01,269
I have a photo
that might interest your readers.
23
00:01:03,229 --> 00:01:04,731
[dance music playing]
24
00:01:10,361 --> 00:01:13,823
You, me, warm sands, strong drinks,
25
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:16,284
maybe an afternoon skinny dip
under a waterfall.
26
00:01:16,659 --> 00:01:18,995
I have bad memories of Bora Bora.
27
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:22,248
Okay. Well, how about a safari?
28
00:01:22,373 --> 00:01:24,417
Meghan and Prince Harry did it
for their second date.
29
00:01:24,501 --> 00:01:26,127
We could do it for our first.
30
00:01:27,796 --> 00:01:31,591
Are you sure you're not just trying
to run away from your mother's face?
31
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:35,970
No. Copycat Freakshow hasn't left the loft
since the great reveal.
32
00:01:36,054 --> 00:01:38,097
So I'm hoping she stays there.
33
00:01:39,015 --> 00:01:43,019
The point is, we are finally doing this,
and I wanna make sure we do it right.
34
00:01:43,102 --> 00:01:45,688
Plus, we've been working so hard
on the launch of your book,
35
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:47,106
we deserve a little break.
36
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:49,859
Have I ever told you how sexy you are
when you talk about my book?
37
00:01:49,943 --> 00:01:50,902
Oh.
38
00:01:50,985 --> 00:01:55,073
Well, sales are on an upward thrust,
39
00:01:55,156 --> 00:01:57,075
and you've been rocking hard
40
00:01:57,158 --> 00:01:58,660
-Mm-hm.
-with the reviews.
41
00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:03,081
But in the interest of doing things right,
42
00:02:03,164 --> 00:02:06,918
maybe our first time shouldn't be here,
you know, with my dad down the hall.
43
00:02:07,752 --> 00:02:08,586
True.
44
00:02:09,379 --> 00:02:10,713
So we'll wait then.
45
00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:15,301
[cell phone buzzing]
46
00:02:18,096 --> 00:02:18,930
No.
47
00:02:20,515 --> 00:02:22,016
-What?
-What?
48
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:23,560
Over a dozen bookstores
49
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:25,937
have backed out of their orders
of The Biggest Payday.
50
00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:27,564
They're dropping like flies.
51
00:02:27,647 --> 00:02:29,941
-I thought we were getting good buzz.
-Hello?
52
00:02:31,484 --> 00:02:34,821
What's going on?
I mean, we're losing money by the second.
53
00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:37,407
What do you mean check TMZ?
54
00:02:39,826 --> 00:02:44,330
Oh, my God. Someone leaked a photo
of us kissing at the masquerade party.
55
00:02:44,414 --> 00:02:47,500
And now they're saying
that the book is about you, not Ashley.
56
00:02:47,584 --> 00:02:49,544
Wow, "Is this book really so bad
57
00:02:49,627 --> 00:02:52,213
that they had to fake a relationship
just to get people to buy it?"
58
00:02:52,297 --> 00:02:54,799
"Fallon Carrington thinks
she can dupe the public.
59
00:02:54,883 --> 00:02:57,886
Boycott Femperial books,
hashtag 'liar,' hashtag 'narcissist.'"
60
00:02:57,969 --> 00:02:58,970
I should've known better.
61
00:02:59,053 --> 00:03:01,598
Kissing in public, it's almost as bad
as leaking your own sex tape.
62
00:03:02,557 --> 00:03:04,684
We screwed up. And now we're screwed.
63
00:03:04,767 --> 00:03:07,562
I'm not gonna let these Internet trolls
tank our project
64
00:03:07,645 --> 00:03:09,230
or drag our relationship through the mud.
65
00:03:09,314 --> 00:03:11,065
You can't stop it. It's too late.
66
00:03:11,149 --> 00:03:14,360
If I can stop us from having sex,
then I can stop anything.
67
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,990
Are we celebrating something?
68
00:03:19,073 --> 00:03:22,702
Peace between the Flores
and the Carrington families.
69
00:03:22,785 --> 00:03:26,372
I'm honestly surprised how easily
you and Papa took to the truce.
70
00:03:26,456 --> 00:03:28,625
Well, Silvio and I found
some common ground.
71
00:03:28,708 --> 00:03:30,376
-What? Cigars?
-You.
72
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,712
Neither one of us
wants to see you get hurt.
73
00:03:32,795 --> 00:03:35,673
And we both wanna build a legacy
that includes you.
74
00:03:36,382 --> 00:03:41,012
So in the spirit of that, we have decided
to pursue a joint venture.
75
00:03:41,596 --> 00:03:43,973
Okay. Mi amor, we've been over this.
76
00:03:44,557 --> 00:03:46,517
He's not to be trusted,
especially not in business.
77
00:03:46,601 --> 00:03:49,187
Honey, I wasn't born yesterday, okay?
78
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:51,272
This is mutually beneficial
to both families.
79
00:03:52,732 --> 00:03:54,984
We're bringing sports betting to Georgia.
80
00:03:55,568 --> 00:03:57,487
Through your family's business
and infrastructure,
81
00:03:57,570 --> 00:03:59,864
we should be ready to launch
by the Atlantix opening day.
82
00:03:59,948 --> 00:04:02,617
-Isn't gambling illegal in Georgia?
-Mm-hm.
83
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:06,079
But the State Senate is voting on a bill
to legalize sports betting in a few days.
84
00:04:06,162 --> 00:04:08,581
It's down to one swing vote,
Senator Braden.
85
00:04:08,665 --> 00:04:11,626
I just need to apply the right pressure
to the right people,
86
00:04:11,709 --> 00:04:12,877
so the vote goes our way.
87
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:15,338
Growing up with my father,
88
00:04:15,421 --> 00:04:18,091
I know a thing or two
about applying pressure.
89
00:04:18,675 --> 00:04:22,262
Are you offering to help me? We could have
some fun playing Bonnie and Clyde.
90
00:04:22,929 --> 00:04:24,180
As long as I get to be Bonnie.
91
00:04:25,556 --> 00:04:27,475
-You're no fun.
-[laughs]
92
00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:29,227
[chattering]
93
00:04:31,104 --> 00:04:32,855
As the CEO of Femperial,
94
00:04:32,939 --> 00:04:36,276
I am here today to address allegations
that we misled the public
95
00:04:36,359 --> 00:04:38,653
in promoting our book, The Biggest Payday.
96
00:04:38,736 --> 00:04:42,282
Well, I can confirm
that those allegations are true.
97
00:04:42,365 --> 00:04:44,784
I do have a personal relationship
with the author
98
00:04:44,867 --> 00:04:48,121
and the book is about me,
not Ashley Cunningham.
99
00:04:48,705 --> 00:04:51,374
I saw an opportunity
in the public's misconception,
100
00:04:51,457 --> 00:04:53,710
and I do regret
employing deceptive marketing
101
00:04:53,793 --> 00:04:57,088
to promote a book that can easily stand
on its own merits.
102
00:04:57,171 --> 00:05:00,883
Please, do not punish the author
or our Femperial team
103
00:05:00,967 --> 00:05:04,220
for a mistake that I made
as a first-time publisher.
104
00:05:05,138 --> 00:05:05,972
Thank you.
105
00:05:06,055 --> 00:05:07,348
[panting]
106
00:05:16,357 --> 00:05:18,359
Where the hell have you been?
I've been calling you.
107
00:05:18,443 --> 00:05:21,821
I'm not at your beck and call, Jeff.
I have work to do for the team.
108
00:05:21,904 --> 00:05:24,657
But there won't be a team
if we let Blake drag it down with him.
109
00:05:25,658 --> 00:05:27,076
Anyways, I figured it out.
110
00:05:27,702 --> 00:05:30,163
That list of names
we got from Blake's hard drive,
111
00:05:30,413 --> 00:05:32,332
they're all Georgia state politicians.
112
00:05:32,832 --> 00:05:33,791
Great. And?
113
00:05:34,375 --> 00:05:37,170
And I need you to figure out
how these politicians
114
00:05:37,253 --> 00:05:39,088
are linked to him or Silvio Flores.
115
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:40,840
We can force Blake out of the owners' box
116
00:05:40,923 --> 00:05:43,426
with the money laundering evidence
we already have.
117
00:05:43,509 --> 00:05:46,971
Why put everything that you
have built in the hands of the feds?
118
00:05:47,055 --> 00:05:50,308
The FBI is the only way to make sure
we pull all of Blake's hooks,
119
00:05:50,391 --> 00:05:52,602
including the Flores family,
out of the team.
120
00:05:53,436 --> 00:05:55,646
Anyway, it doesn't matter what you like.
121
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:59,734
What? You're gonna pull
the "Mike Jones, Ada Stone" card again?
122
00:06:00,276 --> 00:06:02,403
-Sell me out to the FBI?
-I don't want to.
123
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:04,822
Just figure out what these names mean.
124
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:13,831
Please, do not punish the author...
Overall, I think it worked out
better than I expected it to.
125
00:06:16,501 --> 00:06:19,170
Really? Because you were bragging
all morning
126
00:06:19,253 --> 00:06:21,130
about how your plan was such a sure thing.
127
00:06:21,214 --> 00:06:23,216
Well, the boycott is off,
128
00:06:23,299 --> 00:06:25,384
and now my open call
for accountability is trending.
129
00:06:25,468 --> 00:06:29,430
You're a meme now. Someone took your head
and pasted it over Britney's face
130
00:06:29,514 --> 00:06:31,265
in the "Work Bitch" video.
131
00:06:31,349 --> 00:06:33,935
Great. Just what I need.
My face on yet another broken woman.
132
00:06:34,018 --> 00:06:35,645
Look at the bright side.
She's doing great.
133
00:06:35,728 --> 00:06:37,522
She has a Vegas show. Great abs.
134
00:06:37,605 --> 00:06:41,734
Oh, speaking of abs,
you and me off to the Maldives?
135
00:06:41,818 --> 00:06:42,693
[Fallon] Not yet.
136
00:06:42,777 --> 00:06:45,404
First, we need to celebrate the book,
and then we can celebrate us.
137
00:06:45,488 --> 00:06:48,324
Plus, you should be working
on your speech for the launch party.
138
00:06:48,407 --> 00:06:50,409
Perhaps you'd like to make a dedication.
139
00:06:50,493 --> 00:06:53,871
But there's also a slime ball out there
who leaked our photo to the press,
140
00:06:53,955 --> 00:06:56,624
upon whom I need
to exact sweet, delicious revenge.
141
00:06:56,707 --> 00:06:58,417
Sam, it was your party.
142
00:06:59,001 --> 00:07:00,753
You want me to figure out
who took the photo?
143
00:07:00,837 --> 00:07:02,171
There were hundreds of people.
144
00:07:04,382 --> 00:07:05,341
[groans]
145
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:06,717
Anders.
146
00:07:07,593 --> 00:07:10,179
You're also pretty sexy
when you're out for revenge.
147
00:07:10,555 --> 00:07:11,472
Go figure.
148
00:07:14,725 --> 00:07:17,728
Aw... You kiss so beautifully.
149
00:07:18,938 --> 00:07:21,441
I saw your photo
broke the Internet this morning.
150
00:07:21,524 --> 00:07:23,526
You must feel violated.
151
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:27,321
That photo is nothing I can't handle.
In fact, I already have.
152
00:07:28,823 --> 00:07:29,949
[knocking on door]
153
00:07:32,910 --> 00:07:34,287
Hi. Can I help you?
154
00:07:34,370 --> 00:07:35,705
I need to speak to my son.
155
00:07:36,205 --> 00:07:37,457
[George] Uh...
156
00:07:37,582 --> 00:07:41,002
Oh, God, Liam.
Get your tongue out of that girl's throat.
157
00:07:41,085 --> 00:07:42,712
-Mom?
-I read your book.
158
00:07:42,795 --> 00:07:43,629
My dear friend,
159
00:07:43,713 --> 00:07:46,090
the Pulitzer Prize-winning
critic Michiko Kakutani,
160
00:07:46,174 --> 00:07:48,176
she slipped me her advanced copy.
161
00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:51,679
And I must say I'm offended,
162
00:07:52,263 --> 00:07:54,974
not only by your subpar writing,
163
00:07:55,558 --> 00:07:57,977
but by your slanderous portrayal of me.
164
00:07:58,895 --> 00:08:02,148
-So I have filed a lawsuit.
-[Liam] It's fiction, Mom.
165
00:08:02,231 --> 00:08:04,484
That book will never see the light of day.
166
00:08:05,067 --> 00:08:08,070
And I will tie up
your little vagina power company
167
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:09,405
with so many lawsuits
168
00:08:09,489 --> 00:08:11,824
that you will never sign
another author again.
169
00:08:11,908 --> 00:08:13,159
Are you really that sad?
170
00:08:13,242 --> 00:08:15,661
What's sad is this little folly.
171
00:08:17,371 --> 00:08:18,664
So I will give you a choice.
172
00:08:19,832 --> 00:08:23,252
I will give up the lawsuit
if you give up my son.
173
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,114
[George] Nice.
174
00:08:53,407 --> 00:08:55,576
Oh, sorry, Jeff.
Didn't mean to startle you.
175
00:08:55,660 --> 00:08:57,537
I just wanted to see what you did
with my office
176
00:08:57,620 --> 00:09:00,665
that you commandeered,
and it's so stylish.
177
00:09:00,748 --> 00:09:02,083
Way nicer than my new one.
178
00:09:02,166 --> 00:09:04,293
Yeah, that was the plan, all right? You--
179
00:09:04,877 --> 00:09:05,711
Damn it.
180
00:09:07,838 --> 00:09:09,465
Whoa, Jeff. You seem worked up
181
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:12,385
and your eyes look a bit glassy.
Can I check your--?
182
00:09:12,468 --> 00:09:13,386
I'm fine, okay? Just...
183
00:09:13,469 --> 00:09:17,056
All right, look, I know we have bad blood
what with you being my father's adversary,
184
00:09:17,139 --> 00:09:20,893
but let's forget that right now.
I'm concerned about you as a doctor.
185
00:09:21,477 --> 00:09:22,895
See, your hands are shaking.
186
00:09:22,979 --> 00:09:26,899
You're sweating and your pulse is racing.
Just come sit down.
187
00:09:32,113 --> 00:09:36,826
Okay. All right. Sit back. Good.
Now, you wanna take some deep breaths.
188
00:09:36,909 --> 00:09:40,079
In, out. There we go.
189
00:09:42,540 --> 00:09:44,667
You just need to get some rest, all right?
190
00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:46,460
All right, everyone.
191
00:09:46,544 --> 00:09:49,589
The staff will provide the bone broth
and B12 shots you need,
192
00:09:49,672 --> 00:09:52,675
but remember, nobody leaves
until we figure this out.
193
00:09:52,758 --> 00:09:55,011
So think fast. All right.
194
00:09:55,094 --> 00:09:57,221
-Hi.
-This has to do with my mother?
195
00:09:57,305 --> 00:09:59,223
She wants a legal battle,
she's going to get one.
196
00:09:59,307 --> 00:10:03,144
We have civil and corporate litigation,
family law in the drawing room,
197
00:10:03,227 --> 00:10:05,980
and a couple from immigration,
just in case we find something juicy.
198
00:10:06,063 --> 00:10:10,901
I don't know. Going nuclear on my mom
is not the best way to handle her.
199
00:10:10,985 --> 00:10:13,529
She went nuclear first.
I know she hates me.
200
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:16,532
But using your book,
your blood, sweat, and tears against us?
201
00:10:16,616 --> 00:10:18,534
It's low. Even by my standards.
202
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:20,745
This is just gonna make things
even uglier.
203
00:10:21,495 --> 00:10:23,039
What do you suggest, Father Teresa?
204
00:10:23,122 --> 00:10:26,042
I suggest dinner, okay? With lots of wine.
205
00:10:26,125 --> 00:10:28,628
It is the WASP way.
There'll be verbal sparring,
206
00:10:28,711 --> 00:10:32,590
but in the end, I will talk her
off the ledge, as a loving son.
207
00:10:32,673 --> 00:10:33,924
I've already made reservations.
208
00:10:34,008 --> 00:10:35,885
-Great. Let me know how it goes.
-No.
209
00:10:36,552 --> 00:10:38,387
The three of us. You're coming.
210
00:10:43,017 --> 00:10:48,022
Blake, you are not going to believe
the photo I just found.
211
00:10:48,606 --> 00:10:49,982
Look, you'll love this.
212
00:10:50,733 --> 00:10:54,528
It's a photo of us just after Fallon
was born. I mean, look at Fallon.
213
00:10:54,612 --> 00:10:57,531
Oh, such a bundle of joy,
you know, before she could talk.
214
00:10:57,615 --> 00:11:00,868
And you, you were so handsome.
215
00:11:00,951 --> 00:11:02,411
We were so madly in love.
216
00:11:02,995 --> 00:11:05,247
Oh, I miss those days. Don't you?
217
00:11:06,290 --> 00:11:08,501
I don't know why we're taking
this trip down memory lane.
218
00:11:08,584 --> 00:11:11,295
I know you've been through a lot,
but I'm in the middle of something.
219
00:11:11,379 --> 00:11:15,216
Blake, I need your honest opinion,
220
00:11:15,299 --> 00:11:17,093
and I know you won't spare me.
221
00:11:17,635 --> 00:11:19,136
Is this what I look like now?
222
00:11:19,845 --> 00:11:23,391
Like a younger version of me
or do I, I mean...?
223
00:11:23,974 --> 00:11:27,103
Would you say
that I look more like Fallon?
224
00:11:28,813 --> 00:11:29,647
Really look.
225
00:11:35,236 --> 00:11:36,237
Uh...
226
00:11:38,697 --> 00:11:40,074
You are Fallon's mother.
227
00:11:41,909 --> 00:11:44,829
You are Fallon's mother, aren't you?
It's getting hard to tell these days.
228
00:11:44,912 --> 00:11:46,831
Blake, I'm serious.
229
00:11:46,914 --> 00:11:48,749
But it's a little late
to worry about it now.
230
00:11:49,333 --> 00:11:55,005
And you look fantastic for someone
who just face-planted into a fireplace.
231
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:58,676
Alexis, I really have
to get some work done.
232
00:11:59,260 --> 00:12:00,094
Yeah.
I do too.
233
00:12:27,663 --> 00:12:28,622
[car beeps]
234
00:12:30,499 --> 00:12:33,002
Ow, ouch, ow, ow.
235
00:12:33,627 --> 00:12:37,256
Ma'am, are you okay? What happened?
236
00:12:38,382 --> 00:12:40,676
Is it broken? It feels broken.
237
00:12:40,759 --> 00:12:41,719
I can call 911.
238
00:12:42,386 --> 00:12:44,680
Oh, no. I was talking about my shoe.
239
00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:47,391
-Ah.
-It got stuck in the grate.
240
00:12:47,475 --> 00:12:48,809
Can you help me unlace it?
241
00:12:50,478 --> 00:12:51,854
Yeah. Sure.
242
00:12:54,148 --> 00:12:56,650
Slowly. I think I twisted my ankle.
243
00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:18,547
You know what?
I think it's loose enough for me to... Oh!
244
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:20,716
-Thank you.
-Sure.
245
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:23,093
I thought I'd be stuck there all night.
246
00:13:23,177 --> 00:13:25,846
Can I, um, walk you to your car?
247
00:13:25,930 --> 00:13:28,432
No, no, no. It's just around the corner.
Thank you.
248
00:13:41,028 --> 00:13:43,155
That performance
put Faye Dunaway to shame.
249
00:13:43,239 --> 00:13:45,157
And Beatty's got nothing on you, baby.
250
00:13:46,742 --> 00:13:50,162
You are looking well, Fallon.
Candlelight does wonders.
251
00:13:50,246 --> 00:13:53,832
Oh, I was about to say the same to you.
Have you had work done recently?
252
00:13:53,916 --> 00:13:56,752
See? This is nice, civilized.
253
00:13:56,835 --> 00:14:01,257
Almost as civil as civil court,
though I hear it's bring-your-own-candles.
254
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:05,594
Can we get through one more bottle
before diving into all that, please?
255
00:14:05,678 --> 00:14:07,721
The wine won't make any difference.
256
00:14:07,805 --> 00:14:11,183
You might as well accept
that this relationship is going to end.
257
00:14:11,267 --> 00:14:14,770
And I'm just trying to save you
the pain of another divorce.
258
00:14:15,729 --> 00:14:18,816
You know what, Mom? Stop. We're together
and your lawsuit isn't gonna work.
259
00:14:18,899 --> 00:14:21,652
So if you wanna stay in my life,
accept that Fallon is a part of it too.
260
00:14:22,319 --> 00:14:25,865
Well, she has clearly wasted no time
in rotting your brain
261
00:14:25,948 --> 00:14:28,534
with this new disrespectful attitude.
262
00:14:28,617 --> 00:14:32,079
I have just lost my appetite.
Laura, go ahead and file your lawsuit.
263
00:14:32,162 --> 00:14:33,497
It has zero legal merit,
264
00:14:33,581 --> 00:14:35,875
and I will slap you
with so many countersuits
265
00:14:35,958 --> 00:14:38,919
that you will not see
the outside of a courthouse for years.
266
00:14:39,628 --> 00:14:40,838
I don't have years.
267
00:14:42,339 --> 00:14:44,049
It's this illness of mine.
268
00:14:45,259 --> 00:14:46,510
It has made me overly emotional,
269
00:14:46,594 --> 00:14:49,013
and everything that is happening
is my fault.
270
00:14:49,096 --> 00:14:50,347
What?
271
00:14:52,224 --> 00:14:54,768
I was just trying to get you to myself
272
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:59,690
and spend the few months
that I have left with my son.
273
00:15:01,859 --> 00:15:04,653
Liam, I have cancer.
274
00:15:13,245 --> 00:15:14,705
Oh, there you are.
275
00:15:15,247 --> 00:15:17,166
Take a look.
276
00:15:17,708 --> 00:15:18,792
At what?
277
00:15:18,876 --> 00:15:21,921
I'm trying a few tweaks,
now we barely even look related.
278
00:15:22,004 --> 00:15:23,464
Do you need new eyes too?
279
00:15:24,048 --> 00:15:26,884
Darling, please.
You never wear a dark lip.
280
00:15:27,468 --> 00:15:29,553
Okay. Come here. Let's compare, shall we?
281
00:15:29,637 --> 00:15:32,681
You are the one on the right,
in case you're confused.
282
00:15:32,765 --> 00:15:34,850
And if you think a pair of sunglasses
and a dark lip
283
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:37,645
will be enough for me to let this go,
then your face isn't the problem.
284
00:15:37,728 --> 00:15:39,021
Your brain is.
285
00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:40,022
Fallon...
286
00:15:40,564 --> 00:15:43,192
Until you stop lying to yourself,
we are done.
287
00:15:43,275 --> 00:15:46,028
I already have enough on my plate
with manipulative Mommy Van Kirk.
288
00:15:46,111 --> 00:15:49,073
I don't need your crazy too.
So you and I will never be seen
289
00:15:49,156 --> 00:15:50,574
in public together again.
290
00:15:51,825 --> 00:15:54,995
No. Tell them no plus-ones, no exceptions.
291
00:15:56,956 --> 00:15:57,957
-Hi.
-Hey.
I missed you last night.
292
00:16:00,084 --> 00:16:04,713
Oh, sorry. I just wanted to stay
with my mom after, you know, the news.
293
00:16:04,797 --> 00:16:08,676
Of course. Did she tell you
any more about her diagnosis?
294
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:11,595
Apparently, she's been doing chemo
for a couple of weeks,
295
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:13,764
but it hasn't been going well.
296
00:16:13,847 --> 00:16:16,016
So the future is... It's murky.
297
00:16:16,225 --> 00:16:17,059
Mm.
298
00:16:17,643 --> 00:16:20,020
I might have to go back
to New York for a while.
299
00:16:20,104 --> 00:16:23,273
-Without me?
-Look, we can long-distance it.
300
00:16:23,357 --> 00:16:24,692
When has that ever worked?
301
00:16:24,775 --> 00:16:26,986
Look, if she really has cancer,
302
00:16:27,069 --> 00:16:28,904
-then we should just--
-Whoa, whoa, whoa.
303
00:16:29,488 --> 00:16:30,990
-What do you mean "if"?
-I don't know.
304
00:16:31,073 --> 00:16:34,410
-Just the timing is a little convenient.
-Are you hearing yourself?
305
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:37,413
My mom might be difficult,
but she's still human.
306
00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:40,165
Even she's not cruel enough
to lie about that.
307
00:16:40,249 --> 00:16:42,751
No, no, no. You are right.
308
00:16:43,335 --> 00:16:47,589
I get that you're upset. Okay? I am too.
I wanna figure out something.
309
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:52,052
I am willing to do whatever it takes.
310
00:16:52,136 --> 00:16:55,305
In fact, why don't I take her out
for a day at the spa?
311
00:16:55,389 --> 00:16:57,016
Maybe pampering will make her feel better.
312
00:16:57,099 --> 00:16:59,810
You're actually offering
to spend a day with my mom?
313
00:16:59,893 --> 00:17:02,730
I would rather take painting lessons
from John Wayne Gacy, but, yeah,
314
00:17:02,813 --> 00:17:06,358
if you and I are headed for the endgame,
then I have to least try and win her over.
315
00:17:07,401 --> 00:17:09,111
That's totally Derek, isn't it?
316
00:17:09,611 --> 00:17:12,448
I mean, he did let himself go
after his ex got engaged.
317
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,325
Those are some tight pants. [groans]
318
00:17:15,784 --> 00:17:18,454
Okay. Three down, 477 to go.
319
00:17:18,537 --> 00:17:19,788
Are you conferring with Bo?
320
00:17:19,872 --> 00:17:21,957
No. He's actually useless.
321
00:17:22,291 --> 00:17:24,168
I'm trying to match the guests
with their masks,
322
00:17:24,251 --> 00:17:27,337
so I can identify and eliminate
everyone in the photo as suspects.
323
00:17:27,421 --> 00:17:29,423
If they're in the photo,
they couldn't have taken it.
324
00:17:29,506 --> 00:17:33,135
By the time you're done, Fallon
could be four scandals past this one.
325
00:17:33,218 --> 00:17:35,012
No one likes a hater, Anders.
326
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,974
I could call a contact at TMZ
and find out who leaked the picture.
327
00:17:39,975 --> 00:17:43,812
-Well, that's basic.
-Some might say elementary.
328
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:48,067
Fine. It is a good idea.
But if we're playing roles, you're Watson.
329
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:49,276
[whimpers]
330
00:17:53,447 --> 00:17:55,324
-What is this?
-Alpha-wave stimulator.
331
00:17:55,407 --> 00:17:57,534
You'll sleep like a baby tonight.
332
00:17:57,618 --> 00:18:00,913
When you said spa treatments,
I was thinking body wraps,
333
00:18:00,996 --> 00:18:03,040
not science experiments. In my condition--
334
00:18:03,123 --> 00:18:06,543
Your condition is exactly why I booked
the Diamond Healing packages,
335
00:18:06,627 --> 00:18:11,381
LStim bed, cryo-body wrap,
oxygen infusion, PRP, microneedling.
336
00:18:11,465 --> 00:18:14,093
Sounds deadly. Are you trying
to hasten my departure?
337
00:18:14,176 --> 00:18:17,096
This is cutting edge
and only available to elite circles.
338
00:18:17,679 --> 00:18:18,972
I know what you're doing.
339
00:18:20,182 --> 00:18:22,851
You're trying to suck up,
which wouldn't be necessary
340
00:18:22,935 --> 00:18:26,605
unless Liam was seriously considering
coming back to New York with me.
341
00:18:26,688 --> 00:18:29,358
Quite the opposite.
I was just feeling sorry for you.
342
00:18:29,441 --> 00:18:33,737
Since time is so precious,
why not develop a meaningful relationship
343
00:18:33,821 --> 00:18:36,990
between a dying mother
and an ex-wife-slash-girlfriend?
344
00:18:37,783 --> 00:18:38,826
[woman] All right, ladies.
345
00:18:38,909 --> 00:18:42,037
We're gonna start
with our plasma-rich platelet procedure.
346
00:18:42,121 --> 00:18:44,873
We're gonna draw your blood,
spin it to oxygenate,
347
00:18:44,957 --> 00:18:47,084
and inject the healthy blood cells
back into your system
348
00:18:47,167 --> 00:18:49,211
or wherever you need healing the most.
349
00:18:49,294 --> 00:18:50,587
-Ooh, fun.
-Who wants to go first?
350
00:18:50,671 --> 00:18:51,505
Oh--
351
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:54,466
Sick past-and-future mother-in-laws first.
352
00:18:56,510 --> 00:18:59,596
I got it.
This is all about the sports betting bill.
353
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:05,727
These senators are all key voters,
including one who was publicly undecided.
354
00:19:05,811 --> 00:19:09,898
And Blake is somehow tied to all of this.
It's just...
355
00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:11,984
-Jeff? Jeff.
-The partnering.
-What is this?
-If it isn't Mike Jones.
356
00:19:15,863 --> 00:19:19,241
Did you find that missing piece?
Because the clock is ticking.
357
00:19:19,324 --> 00:19:21,994
-I'm still working on it.
-I need that link, okay?
358
00:19:22,077 --> 00:19:25,330
I just can't see it,
but it goes right here.
359
00:19:25,414 --> 00:19:28,417
-With the Flores family and the kiosks.
-What?
360
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:30,252
The kiosks, the kiosks.
361
00:19:30,836 --> 00:19:33,589
Are you feeling okay?
Maybe you need to sit down.
362
00:19:33,672 --> 00:19:36,800
-It's all good.
-No, no. You don't seem all good.
363
00:19:36,884 --> 00:19:40,929
If Blake sees you or the FBI,
you seem a little loose, man.
364
00:19:41,013 --> 00:19:42,806
Well, help me then, okay?
365
00:19:42,890 --> 00:19:47,436
Find out about those senators,
or the feds will be seeing you tomorrow.
366
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:48,478
Bright and early.
367
00:19:56,737 --> 00:19:57,821
Got it?
368
00:19:57,905 --> 00:19:59,448
A Carrington always pays her debts.
369
00:20:02,534 --> 00:20:03,785
Thank you.
370
00:20:25,182 --> 00:20:26,934
-Uh, short of breath?
-Yeah.
371
00:20:27,392 --> 00:20:28,518
I just, uh...
372
00:20:28,936 --> 00:20:31,480
-I just need some water.
-Good idea.
373
00:20:31,563 --> 00:20:34,441
Severe dehydration
can lead to disorientation.
374
00:20:34,524 --> 00:20:38,195
You know, Jeff, like all doctors,
I took the Hippocratic Oath.
375
00:20:38,779 --> 00:20:40,113
You know, do no harm.
376
00:20:40,572 --> 00:20:43,367
But you're not really my patient.
377
00:20:43,951 --> 00:20:49,456
And is it really doing harm
if you're not doing anything at all?
378
00:20:51,416 --> 00:20:53,001
It's a real philosophical question.
379
00:20:54,127 --> 00:20:55,796
I was always better at chemistry.
380
00:20:57,798 --> 00:20:59,758
Now, if you come at Blake
and me like that again,
381
00:20:59,841 --> 00:21:02,302
next time I won't make this phone call.
382
00:21:06,890 --> 00:21:09,810
Hi, I just found my colleague
passed out in his office.
383
00:21:09,893 --> 00:21:10,769
He's not moving.
384
00:21:11,186 --> 00:21:12,020
Please hurry.
385
00:21:12,646 --> 00:21:14,815
I should know any time.
Our meeting is in a few minutes.
386
00:21:15,315 --> 00:21:17,276
I'll speak to you after. Adios, Silvio.
387
00:21:18,860 --> 00:21:21,571
-I didn't realize anyone was still here.
-So, I'm glad I caught you.
388
00:21:22,072 --> 00:21:23,240
We need to talk.
389
00:21:24,032 --> 00:21:25,993
-It's important.
-What did you screw up this time?
390
00:21:26,076 --> 00:21:27,160
It's not my screw-up.
391
00:21:27,244 --> 00:21:30,455
Whoever did and whatever it is,
I don't have time to clean it up.
392
00:21:30,539 --> 00:21:33,208
I have an important meeting,
so, why don't you deal with it?
393
00:21:34,501 --> 00:21:35,335
You're right.
394
00:21:35,585 --> 00:21:36,753
-I'll handle it myself.
-Good.
395
00:21:38,797 --> 00:21:40,757
[woman] Blake, this is Senator Braden.
396
00:21:41,842 --> 00:21:43,719
Mr. Carrington, so nice to meet you.
397
00:21:44,386 --> 00:21:46,346
-It's a pleasure to see you.
-[Braden] Thank you.
398
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:47,514
Shall we speak?
399
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,812
It looks like everything
is healing nicely.
400
00:21:53,895 --> 00:21:54,730
How do you feel?
401
00:21:55,439 --> 00:21:59,651
Well, actually, I was hoping
that I could make a few tweaks.
402
00:21:59,735 --> 00:22:02,529
You know, maybe a brow lift
or a little lip injection.
403
00:22:02,612 --> 00:22:05,032
It's too risky, Mrs. Carrington.
You're still healing.
404
00:22:05,115 --> 00:22:06,533
I'm happy to pay extra.
405
00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:10,704
Unless perhaps there's something else
that you might like. [chuckles]
406
00:22:10,787 --> 00:22:14,458
You're having an adrenaline withdrawal
from surgery.
407
00:22:14,541 --> 00:22:15,542
It can be addictive.
408
00:22:15,625 --> 00:22:18,378
You think I enjoy
getting all this painful work done?
409
00:22:18,962 --> 00:22:20,047
No, it's just that...
410
00:22:20,756 --> 00:22:23,300
I don't know,
this face, it's not working for me.
411
00:22:23,383 --> 00:22:25,594
I... I look like someone else.
412
00:22:25,677 --> 00:22:29,431
I think our team did a tremendous job
giving you exactly what you asked for.
413
00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:32,851
What I asked for? What--? When?
414
00:22:32,934 --> 00:22:34,978
I know it can be difficult
to recall everything
415
00:22:35,062 --> 00:22:38,356
given all the pain meds,
but, um, this was given to us
416
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,192
as a basis for your surgery.
417
00:22:40,776 --> 00:22:43,278
Because you had difficulty speaking,
your son passed it along.
418
00:22:47,324 --> 00:22:48,158
[gasps]
419
00:22:50,077 --> 00:22:51,912
[jazz music playing on speakers]
420
00:22:57,626 --> 00:23:00,420
With reviews calling him
the next Jonathan Safran Foer,
421
00:23:00,504 --> 00:23:03,340
and the statement I released yesterday,
we are very close
422
00:23:03,465 --> 00:23:06,218
to cracking
the New York Times best-seller list.
423
00:23:07,803 --> 00:23:09,763
Will you excuse me for just one second?
424
00:23:11,890 --> 00:23:14,184
What are you doing here?
You're not on the guest list.
425
00:23:14,267 --> 00:23:16,186
I just wanna celebrate your big night.
426
00:23:16,269 --> 00:23:17,312
Oh, yeah. Okay.
427
00:23:17,395 --> 00:23:20,982
Well, please try not to roofie anyone
and keep the creep factor minimal.
428
00:23:23,151 --> 00:23:24,236
Over here. Fantastic.
429
00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:27,155
Hey. Hi.
430
00:23:27,239 --> 00:23:31,034
-There's the man of the hour.
-Fallon, this-- This is incredible.
431
00:23:31,118 --> 00:23:34,037
-Better than anything I could've imagined.
-[Laura] Really?
432
00:23:34,121 --> 00:23:38,792
All the guests look like they stumbled out
of an episode of The Real Housewives.
433
00:23:38,875 --> 00:23:40,293
-So tacky.
-[Fallon] Laura.
434
00:23:40,877 --> 00:23:43,171
I'm surprised
that you're joining us tonight.
435
00:23:43,255 --> 00:23:44,965
That PRP treatment did wonders.
436
00:23:45,048 --> 00:23:48,135
Anything to make you comfortable
before your flight tomorrow.
437
00:23:48,343 --> 00:23:50,929
Well, Liam will be traveling with me.
438
00:23:51,012 --> 00:23:53,390
So, he'll make sure
that I'm plenty comfortable.
439
00:23:54,099 --> 00:23:55,767
What? You're leaving, too?
440
00:23:56,726 --> 00:23:58,645
Can I borrow him for just a second?
441
00:23:59,563 --> 00:24:00,438
Yeah.
442
00:24:00,522 --> 00:24:01,356
Be right back.
443
00:24:03,233 --> 00:24:05,902
So, you're leaving
but you're coming back, right?
-As soon as I'm able to, yes.
-You mean as soon as she lets you.
444
00:24:09,239 --> 00:24:12,033
Look, Fallon... I wouldn't be able
to live with myself
445
00:24:12,117 --> 00:24:14,119
if I didn't try to develop
a meaningful relationship
446
00:24:14,202 --> 00:24:15,871
with my mother while I still can.
We had a great talk on the way here.
447
00:24:18,248 --> 00:24:20,333
And she wants to clear the slate,
make new memories.
448
00:24:20,417 --> 00:24:23,420
Wow, I mean, she will just say
anything to keep us apart.
449
00:24:23,503 --> 00:24:26,089
You have to stop
with these conspiracies, okay?
450
00:24:26,882 --> 00:24:29,176
She's sick and just wants
to spend time with her son.
451
00:24:40,103 --> 00:24:41,104
[groans]
452
00:24:43,356 --> 00:24:46,526
My contact at TMZ
couldn't confirm the source of the photo,
453
00:24:46,610 --> 00:24:48,195
it came from an anonymous address.
454
00:24:48,278 --> 00:24:50,864
Hmm. This guy is good... or girl.
455
00:24:50,947 --> 00:24:54,659
-At least we have the big picture.
-Big picture? We hardly know anything.
456
00:24:54,743 --> 00:24:56,995
No. He literally sent a bigger picture.
457
00:24:57,078 --> 00:24:58,914
-They cropped it for publication.
-Oh.
458
00:24:58,997 --> 00:25:00,248
I'm forwarding it to you now.
459
00:25:00,332 --> 00:25:01,333
[cell phone beeps]
Okay. Got it.
460
00:25:03,001 --> 00:25:06,338
There's a lot more people in this one.
We can rule out more guests.
461
00:25:06,421 --> 00:25:08,131
[Anders]
I think we can do better than that.
462
00:25:08,215 --> 00:25:09,049
[Sam] Oh.
463
00:25:09,132 --> 00:25:11,051
I'd recognize that tailoring anywhere.
464
00:25:11,134 --> 00:25:12,427
It's iconic.
465
00:25:13,929 --> 00:25:15,931
-It's me... and I'm taking a selfie.
-Mm.
466
00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:17,599
What a surprise.
467
00:25:17,682 --> 00:25:21,478
The good news for us is that selfie
is the reverse angle of this photograph.
468
00:25:21,561 --> 00:25:23,647
If we can find the selfie,
we'll know who did it.
469
00:25:23,730 --> 00:25:24,564
Clever.
470
00:25:25,023 --> 00:25:27,192
Okay, no problem.
I'll go through my photos.
471
00:25:27,901 --> 00:25:29,027
All five million of them?
472
00:25:29,611 --> 00:25:32,239
I like taking photos of myself, okay?
I'm photogenic.
473
00:25:32,322 --> 00:25:35,492
In fact... take a picture of me
while going through my pictures.
474
00:25:37,118 --> 00:25:37,953
Okay.
Looking.
475
00:25:39,329 --> 00:25:40,455
[glass clinking]
476
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:43,541
Hello, everybody.
477
00:25:43,625 --> 00:25:47,879
Thank you for coming out to support
Femperial's inaugural book with us.
478
00:25:48,046 --> 00:25:50,674
And without further ado,
I would like to introduce
479
00:25:50,757 --> 00:25:51,967
its brilliant author,
480
00:25:52,550 --> 00:25:55,095
a man that I am simply mad about.
481
00:25:55,178 --> 00:25:56,304
Liam Ridley.
482
00:25:56,388 --> 00:25:57,430
[crowd applauding]
483
00:26:03,478 --> 00:26:08,233
Uh, first off, I just wanna say
that I appreciate all of your support.
484
00:26:08,316 --> 00:26:12,112
And I'm so happy to have found
a home with Femperial.
485
00:26:12,821 --> 00:26:16,533
Now, there's someone that I would like
to acknowledge tonight,
486
00:26:16,616 --> 00:26:17,909
because without her...
487
00:26:19,244 --> 00:26:20,996
well, none of this
would have been possible.
488
00:26:21,371 --> 00:26:23,415
So... I'm dedicating my book
489
00:26:23,498 --> 00:26:26,334
to a very special woman in my life.
490
00:26:27,085 --> 00:26:28,461
My mother, Laura.
491
00:26:28,670 --> 00:26:30,630
Uh, she's here this evening, and I'm...
492
00:26:31,756 --> 00:26:34,259
I'm happy that I could share
this moment with her.
493
00:26:34,634 --> 00:26:35,468
Thank you.
494
00:26:35,552 --> 00:26:36,761
[crowd applauding]
495
00:26:43,852 --> 00:26:46,146
Wow, I really thought
he was gonna dedicate the book to you.
496
00:26:46,730 --> 00:26:49,065
But I suppose the bond
between mother and son is undeniable.
497
00:26:49,733 --> 00:26:51,860
Can't you go find a dark corner
to lurk in?
498
00:26:51,943 --> 00:26:53,278
[cell phone buzzing]
499
00:27:01,619 --> 00:27:02,454
Hey, Laura.
500
00:27:03,955 --> 00:27:05,165
Congratulations.
We need to have a chat.
501
00:27:15,842 --> 00:27:16,676
[groans]
502
00:27:16,801 --> 00:27:18,845
How many more selfies do you have?
503
00:27:18,928 --> 00:27:22,849
I could've finished binge-watching
the entire series of Neighbours by now.
504
00:27:22,932 --> 00:27:24,100
Oh, my God.
505
00:27:24,642 --> 00:27:26,603
-You found something?
-My new profile picture.
506
00:27:26,686 --> 00:27:28,688
The old one doesn't reflect
the new me anymore.
507
00:27:28,772 --> 00:27:29,606
Okay.
508
00:27:30,231 --> 00:27:31,983
Wait. Here it is.
509
00:27:32,567 --> 00:27:33,610
Found it.
510
00:27:36,071 --> 00:27:39,074
I remember that mask.
I had nightmares about it. That's...
511
00:27:41,284 --> 00:27:42,452
Adam.
512
00:27:43,328 --> 00:27:45,872
Before we start pointing fingers
at our own family,
513
00:27:45,955 --> 00:27:47,082
we need to be certain.
514
00:27:47,582 --> 00:27:50,168
We need to prove
that he leaked that photo.
515
00:27:51,086 --> 00:27:52,754
Look at us, detectiving.
516
00:27:54,172 --> 00:27:55,673
We should document this with a selfie.
517
00:27:56,508 --> 00:27:57,342
Okay, ready?
518
00:27:58,510 --> 00:27:59,511
[camera clicks]
Love it.
519
00:28:06,309 --> 00:28:07,310
You.
520
00:28:07,644 --> 00:28:10,814
-How could you be so cruel?
-Mother, what are you--?
521
00:28:10,897 --> 00:28:13,274
Burning me was terrifying, yes.
522
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:18,154
But I've almost learned to justify my son
lashing out after years of abandonment.
523
00:28:18,238 --> 00:28:21,366
But then I find out
that you made me look like this?
-I didn't.
-I got this from the surgeon.
524
00:28:26,246 --> 00:28:27,372
All right, this was...
525
00:28:28,998 --> 00:28:30,583
This was supposed to be a gift.
526
00:28:30,708 --> 00:28:32,877
You looked so much like Fallon
when you were younger.
527
00:28:32,961 --> 00:28:34,629
I was trying to do something nice for you.
528
00:28:34,712 --> 00:28:37,215
I was trying to make up
for the fire incident.
529
00:28:37,298 --> 00:28:39,259
Stop lying, Adam.
530
00:28:39,384 --> 00:28:43,012
You have been trying to destroy
my relationship with Fallon.
531
00:28:43,096 --> 00:28:45,348
And now--
Well, I can't help but feel that...
532
00:28:45,932 --> 00:28:48,351
maybe it would've been better
if you had never come at all.
533
00:28:49,060 --> 00:28:50,603
Please, don't say that.
534
00:28:51,438 --> 00:28:52,647
I got jealous. I admit it.
535
00:28:53,982 --> 00:28:55,734
All I've ever wanted was your love.
536
00:28:56,317 --> 00:28:58,653
And you and Fallon are so close.
537
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:01,614
When all that she ever is to me
is mean and callous.
538
00:29:01,698 --> 00:29:03,908
That doesn't mean
that you can do this, Adam.
539
00:29:03,992 --> 00:29:06,411
I know and I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for the way I am.
540
00:29:06,995 --> 00:29:09,456
But you have no idea how hard it was
541
00:29:09,539 --> 00:29:12,250
being brought up
by some sick addict as a mother.
542
00:29:13,334 --> 00:29:15,253
When I learned about you and-- And...
543
00:29:16,838 --> 00:29:17,714
I finally had hope.
544
00:29:19,048 --> 00:29:20,675
Hope that I'd be-- I would...
545
00:29:21,551 --> 00:29:23,428
get the love that I always craved.
546
00:29:24,387 --> 00:29:25,346
So, please don't--
547
00:29:28,892 --> 00:29:31,352
[sobbing] Please don't push me away.
No, I just found you.
548
00:29:35,106 --> 00:29:37,108
What is this all about, Fallon?
549
00:29:37,192 --> 00:29:38,985
People are praising my son.
550
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:41,988
And I would like to be there
to hear it while I still can.
551
00:29:42,572 --> 00:29:43,698
You can drop the Big C act.
552
00:29:44,866 --> 00:29:46,075
I know it's all fake.
553
00:29:46,910 --> 00:29:48,703
-Excuse me?
-That PRP treatment?
554
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:50,830
You didn't think
I was trying to be nice, did you?
555
00:29:51,122 --> 00:29:54,751
No. I had some vials of your blood
tested for traces of chemo.
556
00:29:54,834 --> 00:29:57,212
And it came back as clean as a newborn's.
557
00:29:58,671 --> 00:29:59,631
You stole my blood?
558
00:29:59,714 --> 00:30:01,758
And you are the one accusing me
of doing something
559
00:30:01,841 --> 00:30:05,470
so utterly loathsome
as pretending to be terminally ill?
560
00:30:05,553 --> 00:30:09,015
Okay. Stop making a scene
at your own son's book launch.
561
00:30:09,098 --> 00:30:09,933
Making a scene?
562
00:30:10,767 --> 00:30:11,935
I'll show you a scene.
563
00:30:14,062 --> 00:30:15,104
Excuse me.
564
00:30:16,147 --> 00:30:17,357
Hello, everyone.
565
00:30:18,399 --> 00:30:20,318
As mother of the author...
566
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,238
I'd like to say a few words.
567
00:30:23,321 --> 00:30:25,281
This is a bittersweet evening, because...
568
00:30:25,365 --> 00:30:28,701
this could be the last book launch
of my son's...
569
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,411
that I may be able to attend.
570
00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:34,833
You see... I was just recently diagnosed
with stage 4 cancer.
571
00:30:34,916 --> 00:30:36,000
[chattering]
572
00:30:36,084 --> 00:30:37,377
I know.
573
00:30:38,336 --> 00:30:41,714
And if that weren't awful enough,
my son's girlfriend...
574
00:30:42,841 --> 00:30:43,967
Fallon Carrington...
575
00:30:44,759 --> 00:30:46,970
is accusing me of lying
about my diagnosis.
576
00:30:47,053 --> 00:30:48,388
[Fallon] All right.
577
00:30:48,596 --> 00:30:50,223
Let's hear it for Laura, everyone.
578
00:30:50,306 --> 00:30:51,558
Laura.
579
00:30:51,641 --> 00:30:52,475
I got it.
580
00:30:54,018 --> 00:30:54,853
Thank you.
581
00:30:55,728 --> 00:30:58,481
Well, I'm sorry for that interruption.
582
00:30:58,565 --> 00:31:00,024
Let's get back to the party.
583
00:31:00,108 --> 00:31:01,109
Okay.
584
00:31:01,734 --> 00:31:03,695
No. No, I would like to say one thing.
585
00:31:04,445 --> 00:31:07,282
Laura, here... is a liar.
586
00:31:07,365 --> 00:31:09,784
I have test results that prove
587
00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:11,995
there is no trace of chemo in her body,
588
00:31:12,078 --> 00:31:15,164
even though she claims
that she is undergoing treatment, okay?
589
00:31:15,248 --> 00:31:16,666
Right here. Take a look.
590
00:31:16,749 --> 00:31:17,792
It says it right there.
591
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:19,502
She is a manipulative liar
592
00:31:19,586 --> 00:31:21,462
and she's only doing it
to break Liam and I apart
593
00:31:21,546 --> 00:31:22,797
because she is a monster.
594
00:31:23,381 --> 00:31:24,424
She's a monster who--
595
00:31:25,091 --> 00:31:26,926
I'm the monster? She stole my blood.
596
00:31:27,051 --> 00:31:28,678
-I--
-She stole my blood.
597
00:31:29,971 --> 00:31:34,100
And, yes, it is clean, but that's only
because I have stopped chemotherapy.
598
00:31:34,934 --> 00:31:37,145
I was having a-- A bad reaction.
599
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:39,689
And you know what?
600
00:31:40,523 --> 00:31:42,609
Would you like to see the CT scan?
601
00:31:44,152 --> 00:31:45,111
There.
602
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:46,487
[chuckles]
603
00:31:47,030 --> 00:31:47,864
It's--
604
00:31:47,989 --> 00:31:48,990
-No.
-Uh-huh.
605
00:31:49,198 --> 00:31:50,742
Does this look fake to you?
606
00:31:50,825 --> 00:31:51,659
[sighs]
607
00:31:52,994 --> 00:31:56,414
She could've pulled that
from anywhere, guys. Liam?
608
00:31:56,497 --> 00:31:57,415
No, Fallon, don't.
609
00:31:57,498 --> 00:31:58,499
[Laura crying]
610
00:31:59,334 --> 00:32:02,295
-I've seen enough. Come on.
-I'm sorry.
611
00:32:06,090 --> 00:32:07,759
[woman] Do you have any comments?
612
00:32:07,842 --> 00:32:09,218
[man] Fallon, is this true?
613
00:32:10,303 --> 00:32:12,597
Gambling is inherently immoral.
614
00:32:13,264 --> 00:32:15,975
And I didn't come to the state capital
to encourage it.
615
00:32:16,601 --> 00:32:18,645
Well, senator, I hear your concerns.
616
00:32:18,811 --> 00:32:20,229
And I'm familiar...
617
00:32:21,064 --> 00:32:22,774
with your moral crusade at the capitol.
618
00:32:22,857 --> 00:32:26,110
You ran on an anti-gun platform as well,
if I'm not mistaken.
619
00:32:26,194 --> 00:32:28,029
-That's right.
-So it would be, uh...
620
00:32:28,655 --> 00:32:31,282
quite a scandal
if the Georgia State Troopers
621
00:32:31,366 --> 00:32:34,827
were tipped off about your husband,
and then found a firearm
622
00:32:34,911 --> 00:32:36,913
with an illegal silencer in his glove box?
623
00:32:36,996 --> 00:32:37,956
Excuse me?
624
00:32:39,082 --> 00:32:41,084
-Is this some kind of game?
-Mm. Sort of.
625
00:32:41,501 --> 00:32:43,461
Except we can both win here.
626
00:32:43,544 --> 00:32:46,297
You can go home,
take that gun out of his car,
627
00:32:46,381 --> 00:32:47,632
and bury it in the backyard.
628
00:32:48,257 --> 00:32:51,302
You can go and vote in favor
of the gambling bill tomorrow.
629
00:32:51,803 --> 00:32:54,639
You don't wanna find the other Easter eggs
we've hidden for you,
630
00:32:54,847 --> 00:32:55,974
at your law firm...
631
00:32:56,641 --> 00:32:57,934
in your mother's garden.
632
00:32:58,851 --> 00:33:00,895
Her roses are coming in so nicely.
633
00:33:01,396 --> 00:33:04,023
-I've never been able to grow them myself.
-No?
634
00:33:04,983 --> 00:33:05,817
So...
635
00:33:06,901 --> 00:33:08,611
shall we discuss that vote again?
636
00:33:36,806 --> 00:33:37,765
There you are.
637
00:33:38,641 --> 00:33:39,809
Are you okay?
638
00:33:40,309 --> 00:33:41,686
-Did someone die?
-No.
639
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:45,773
Just my pride and my relationship,
and maybe Laura Van Kirk soon.
640
00:33:45,857 --> 00:33:48,568
Man, I really did miss
a good party, didn't I?
641
00:33:48,651 --> 00:33:49,736
Yeah, where were you?
642
00:33:49,819 --> 00:33:51,571
I've never known you
to skip out on anything.
643
00:33:51,654 --> 00:33:53,614
Not even Tony the gardener's
cat quinceañera.
644
00:33:53,698 --> 00:33:57,577
Sam and I were busy looking for proof
before we shared our findings.
645
00:33:57,660 --> 00:33:59,037
You are not going to believe this.
646
00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:02,457
You probably will,
'cause you think the worst of people.
647
00:34:02,540 --> 00:34:05,835
Adam, he took and leaked the photo
of you and Liam kissing.
648
00:34:06,836 --> 00:34:07,962
Boy Interrupted?
649
00:34:09,005 --> 00:34:11,424
Well, he is annoying... and weird.
650
00:34:11,507 --> 00:34:14,135
He stares at you unwittingly,
which I heard is a psychopathic trait.
651
00:34:14,218 --> 00:34:16,471
All personality assessments aside,
652
00:34:17,055 --> 00:34:18,765
we do have actual evidence.
653
00:34:18,890 --> 00:34:23,019
Sam borrowed Adam's laptop
while he was at the party.
654
00:34:23,144 --> 00:34:25,313
I had a discreet tech service,
give us full access.
655
00:34:25,396 --> 00:34:26,773
And as you can see,
656
00:34:26,856 --> 00:34:29,567
he's the one who e-mailed
the photo to TMZ.
657
00:34:30,151 --> 00:34:32,612
Brother dearest is so dead.
658
00:34:32,904 --> 00:34:36,240
I don't want to encourage fratricide,
but it does get worse.
659
00:34:36,324 --> 00:34:38,534
We found some interesting texts.
You're not gonna like
who he has been cozying up to.
660
00:34:45,333 --> 00:34:46,626
[both breathing heavily]
661
00:34:49,754 --> 00:34:51,506
That was very pleasant.
662
00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:53,424
And illegal in some states, I think.
663
00:34:53,716 --> 00:34:54,550
Ha, ha.
664
00:34:56,677 --> 00:34:59,013
Yeah, teaming up was a game changer.
665
00:34:59,097 --> 00:35:02,141
I am so glad
that you reached out when you did.
666
00:35:02,225 --> 00:35:03,142
Well...
667
00:35:03,226 --> 00:35:06,521
-that cancer idea we came up with.
-Genius.
668
00:35:06,604 --> 00:35:09,357
You pulled those medical records
out of thin air.
669
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:10,399
Poof.
670
00:35:10,983 --> 00:35:13,277
Old patient records come in handy
every now and then.
671
00:35:13,361 --> 00:35:15,863
Mm. You are very resourceful, aren't you?
672
00:35:26,707 --> 00:35:27,750
[Sam sighs]
673
00:35:28,042 --> 00:35:29,877
You are not gonna guess
what just happened.
674
00:35:29,961 --> 00:35:33,339
-Something tells me I won't have to.
-Fallon paid me for sleuthing.
675
00:35:33,422 --> 00:35:35,049
She didn't pay me, pay me like with money.
676
00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:38,302
But she paid me
with a trip to the Maldives.
677
00:35:38,386 --> 00:35:40,471
She was supposed to go with Liam,
but now he's mad.
678
00:35:40,555 --> 00:35:41,597
She has to deal with Adam.
679
00:35:41,681 --> 00:35:45,643
So, since I saved the day,
she said I deserve a vacation.
680
00:35:45,726 --> 00:35:47,228
You saved the day?
681
00:35:47,311 --> 00:35:50,231
Okay, of course, yes. We saved the day.
682
00:35:50,314 --> 00:35:52,024
That's why you're coming with me.
683
00:35:52,608 --> 00:35:54,610
You deserve a vacation as much as I do.
684
00:35:55,945 --> 00:35:57,321
Did someone say boy's trip?
685
00:35:57,697 --> 00:35:58,614
Yeah.
686
00:36:07,331 --> 00:36:09,500
There she is
with her tail between her legs.
687
00:36:09,584 --> 00:36:10,543
Liam's not here.
688
00:36:10,751 --> 00:36:11,586
I know.
689
00:36:11,836 --> 00:36:13,796
He always goes to yoga before a flight.
690
00:36:14,505 --> 00:36:15,715
I wanted to talk to you.
691
00:36:16,215 --> 00:36:17,049
Alone.
692
00:36:18,134 --> 00:36:19,177
Woman to woman.
693
00:36:20,303 --> 00:36:24,515
Well, make it fast because my son and I
have a plane to catch.
694
00:36:26,392 --> 00:36:27,268
I know you lied.
695
00:36:28,227 --> 00:36:29,729
-What are you talking--?
-I have proof.
696
00:36:29,979 --> 00:36:33,399
Text exchanges with my brother,
who provided the faux CT-scan.
697
00:36:34,984 --> 00:36:35,818
Okay.
698
00:36:36,652 --> 00:36:38,571
So, you caught me.
699
00:36:39,113 --> 00:36:42,533
I only did it because I am trying
to protect my weakling son,
700
00:36:43,117 --> 00:36:44,452
who is too weak to fend off trash.
701
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:46,871
You are not good enough for him.
702
00:36:46,954 --> 00:36:49,624
No, no, no. I am not good enough for you,
and there is a difference.
703
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:52,752
But I'm not afraid of you
and I don't care.
704
00:36:52,835 --> 00:36:54,295
And you know that and you hate it
705
00:36:54,378 --> 00:36:57,256
because it rubs off on Liam,
which gives you less control over him.
706
00:36:57,340 --> 00:36:59,091
Let's cut the bad therapy crap.
707
00:36:59,175 --> 00:37:00,259
What do you want?
708
00:37:00,343 --> 00:37:02,386
I am going to give you a choice, Laura.
709
00:37:02,762 --> 00:37:04,513
Either I tell Liam the truth,
710
00:37:04,597 --> 00:37:07,725
which would destroy your already
fragile relationship with him,
711
00:37:07,934 --> 00:37:11,395
or you can generate good will
by choosing to come clean on your own.
712
00:37:11,979 --> 00:37:14,732
Just tell him that you were desperate
for his love and affection,
713
00:37:14,815 --> 00:37:18,194
make up some excuse
that will help him forgive you eventually.
714
00:37:19,528 --> 00:37:20,363
Why?
715
00:37:20,988 --> 00:37:23,241
Why aren't you using this
to make Liam resent me more?
716
00:37:24,617 --> 00:37:26,535
Because I know what it's like
to hate your mother.
717
00:37:27,036 --> 00:37:28,246
And I don't want that for Liam.
718
00:37:30,665 --> 00:37:31,499
But, hey...
719

00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,670
at least you're cancer-free.
721
00:37:42,218 --> 00:37:44,595
I was told that you're desperate to chat.
722
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:47,098
What do you want now?
A wig made out of my hair?
723
00:37:47,181 --> 00:37:49,475
Thank you for being willing to talk...
724
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:51,310
especially with all this.
725
00:37:51,394 --> 00:37:52,603
Maybe don't highlight it.
726
00:37:52,687 --> 00:37:56,107
I know that this face
has caused you a lot of trouble.
727
00:37:56,941 --> 00:37:58,150
I'm going to make this right.

The world's best plastic surgeon
will be reconstructing a new face for me.
729
00:38:01,612 --> 00:38:03,239
I leave for Europe immediately.
You've finally come to your senses.
730
00:38:06,450 --> 00:38:07,702
I'll be gone a while.
731
00:38:08,536 --> 00:38:09,662
But before I go,
732
00:38:10,121 --> 00:38:12,456
I was hoping I could talk to you
about your brother.
733
00:38:13,124 --> 00:38:14,542
Quit while you're ahead.
734
00:38:14,625 --> 00:38:16,294
He's worse than you know, Fallon.
735
00:38:16,877 --> 00:38:19,046
He's the reason that I have your face.
736
00:38:19,130 --> 00:38:20,840
He gave the surgeon your photo.
737
00:38:20,923 --> 00:38:23,801
-He what?
-Just promise me that you won't cross him.
738
00:38:24,427 --> 00:38:25,970
I love you too much to see you get hurt.
739
00:38:26,053 --> 00:38:27,430
I won't get hurt.
740
00:38:27,930 --> 00:38:29,265
Adam, on the other hand--
741
00:38:29,348 --> 00:38:32,852
Fallon, he might be disturbed
and unbalanced.
742
00:38:32,935 --> 00:38:36,105
But-- I mean, he's my son
and I blame myself.
743
00:38:36,188 --> 00:38:38,816
I never should've stopped looking for him.
Promise me
744
00:38:39,108 --> 00:38:42,486
that you will stay away from him,
and do not tell him that I'm gone.
745
00:38:44,530 --> 00:38:45,364
Of course.
746
00:38:47,283 --> 00:38:48,868
You go get a new face.
747
00:38:49,785 --> 00:38:51,162
Everything's gonna be fine.

He never reaches out.
754
00:39:11,390 --> 00:39:13,225
He wanted to say he's happy with us.

Thumbs up emoji, that's a first.
756

Can I help you?
763
00:39:36,457 --> 00:39:38,876
I think you've been looking for me

You're just waltzing in here? That's bold.

It's not bold.
It's smart.

774
00:40:13,202 --> 00:40:16,080
So, I just spoke to my mother.
775
00:40:17,289 --> 00:40:18,374
She confessed everything.
776
00:40:18,457 --> 00:40:20,042
She lied about the cancer.
777
00:40:20,793 --> 00:40:22,420
-No way.
-I don't know.
778
00:40:22,628 --> 00:40:23,546
Don't act so surprised.
779
00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:27,341
My mom doesn't usually
own up to things or apologize.
780
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:29,802
So, I got the sense that someone
781
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:31,887
gave her a not-so-subtle nudge.
782
00:40:32,012 --> 00:40:33,764

783
00:40:35,266 --> 00:40:38,060
I'm sorry. I should've believed you
from the beginning.
784
00:40:38,144 --> 00:40:40,521
I'm so grateful that you tried
to make everything okay
785
00:40:40,604 --> 00:40:43,774
between me and my mom,
even if she was awful.
786
00:40:43,858 --> 00:40:46,277
Well, you shouldn't judge her too harshly.
787
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,028
She did have help from the devil himself.
788
00:40:48,904 --> 00:40:49,905
What does that mean?

00:40:50,781 --> 00:40:51,866
Don't worry about it.
790

Great... Oh, that's wonderful.

I know she was troubled
by your strong reaction to her surgery.

Yes. We're putting all of that behind us.

Consider it a truce of sorts, for Mom.

I didn't know we were at war.
