1
00:00:07,181 --> 00:00:08,834
Have you seen Blake?
2
00:00:08,878 --> 00:00:11,359
He's in an early meeting.
He should be back soon.
3
00:00:11,402 --> 00:00:14,362
Well, have you seen this?
The Atlanta Mirror?
4
00:00:14,405 --> 00:00:16,320
You'd think there'd be more
important news than the battle
5
00:00:16,364 --> 00:00:18,757
to reopen my grandfather's will.
What are you doing?
6
00:00:18,801 --> 00:00:21,804
Trikonasana. You should try it.
It relieves stress.
7
00:00:21,847 --> 00:00:23,719
No, I mean what are you doing
about the case?
8
00:00:23,762 --> 00:00:25,112
And can you
please stand up?
9
00:00:25,155 --> 00:00:26,809
It's hurting my neck
to talk to you like this.
10
00:00:30,334 --> 00:00:32,206
The only ammunition Ben has
11
00:00:32,249 --> 00:00:34,077
is a copy
of Thomas's outdated will
12
00:00:34,121 --> 00:00:35,818
in which Ben was named
a beneficiary.
13
00:00:35,861 --> 00:00:37,211
Yes. I know that.
14
00:00:37,254 --> 00:00:39,517
We all know that,
thanks to Amanda. What else?
15
00:00:39,561 --> 00:00:42,303
Blake is with his lawyers,
who are in the process
16
00:00:42,346 --> 00:00:44,653
of filing a motion to
dismiss the case right now,
17
00:00:44,696 --> 00:00:46,220
so you should try
not to worry.
18
00:00:46,263 --> 00:00:47,656
All I'm trying to do
is figure out
19
00:00:47,699 --> 00:00:50,093
why Blake isn't taking
a more aggressive approach.
20
00:00:50,137 --> 00:00:51,834
Letting the lawyers
handle it
21
00:00:51,877 --> 00:00:54,054
is what scared people do.
Or guilty people.
22
00:00:54,097 --> 00:00:55,316
What is wrong with him?
23
00:00:55,359 --> 00:00:56,665
It was my idea
to use the lawyers
24
00:00:56,708 --> 00:00:58,058
and not engage Ben directly.
25
00:00:58,101 --> 00:01:00,190
After my experience
with Beto,
26
00:01:00,234 --> 00:01:01,757
I know what it's like
to get wrapped up
27
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,368
- with an angry brother.
- Exactly.
28
00:01:04,412 --> 00:01:06,979
Your genius approach with Beto
got you trapped in a basement
29
00:01:07,023 --> 00:01:08,981
and replaced with a clone.
30
00:01:12,594 --> 00:01:14,291
[thud]
31
00:01:14,335 --> 00:01:16,032
ALEXIS:
Be careful
with that wardrobe box.
32
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:18,121
I can't have my husband
coming home from a work trip
33
00:01:18,165 --> 00:01:20,689
to find his
Brunello Cucinelli suits torn.
34
00:01:21,733 --> 00:01:23,474
[rattles][elevator bell dings]
35
00:01:24,649 --> 00:01:26,608
Looks like you're knee-deep
in wedding presents.
36
00:01:26,651 --> 00:01:28,088
ALEXIS:
A wedding you crashed,
37
00:01:28,131 --> 00:01:30,394
- I seem to recall.
- That's what these are for.
38
00:01:30,438 --> 00:01:32,222
I'm sorry if I, uh,
stole your thunder
39
00:01:32,266 --> 00:01:34,137
- with my dramatic entrance.
- Don't worry.
40
00:01:34,181 --> 00:01:35,486
My children
had already done that.
41
00:01:35,530 --> 00:01:38,402
Besides, your arrival
pissed off Blake,
42
00:01:38,446 --> 00:01:39,882
so it wasn't all bad.
43
00:01:39,925 --> 00:01:42,058
Along those lines,
I could use your help.
44
00:01:42,102 --> 00:01:44,234
I figured there was
another reason for the flowers.
45
00:01:44,278 --> 00:01:45,148
BEN: Got a
plan in motion
46
00:01:45,192 --> 00:01:46,280
to win my court battle,
47
00:01:46,323 --> 00:01:47,803
but I'm looking
for some insurance.
48
00:01:47,846 --> 00:01:50,153
Well, I heard about that
from Fallon.
49
00:01:50,197 --> 00:01:52,938
How can I be of service
in the war of the will?
50
00:01:53,939 --> 00:01:55,811
Well, before our mother died,
51
00:01:55,854 --> 00:01:58,944
I know Blake tried to put her
in an assisted living facility.
52
00:01:58,988 --> 00:02:00,685
And I want to
show that it was
53
00:02:00,729 --> 00:02:02,861
not because he was concerned
- for her.
- ALEXIS: But rather
54
00:02:02,905 --> 00:02:06,169
because he couldn't be bothered
- to take care of her himself?
- Right.
55
00:02:06,213 --> 00:02:07,997
He's playing the dutiful son
in public,
56
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,434
but any communication
between him and that facility
57
00:02:10,478 --> 00:02:12,001
would tell a different story.
58
00:02:12,044 --> 00:02:14,438
So, if you can make people
believe that Blake
59
00:02:14,482 --> 00:02:16,832
was the negligent one
in terms of your mother,
60
00:02:16,875 --> 00:02:19,878
that would raise
reasonable doubt that you were.
61
00:02:19,922 --> 00:02:21,358
Exactly. And in that case,
62
00:02:21,402 --> 00:02:23,708
Blake pressuring my father
to disinherit me
63
00:02:23,752 --> 00:02:26,320
would be illegal,
and that'll reopen the will.
64
00:02:26,363 --> 00:02:29,236
While I believe Blake deserves
everything coming to him,
65
00:02:29,279 --> 00:02:32,717
I have no access
to any of that anymore.
66
00:02:32,761 --> 00:02:35,111
Mm. Figured as much.
67
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:36,504
It was worth a shot.
68
00:02:36,547 --> 00:02:38,201
However,
69
00:02:38,245 --> 00:02:41,204
I wish you luck,
and I will enjoy the show.
70
00:02:43,206 --> 00:02:45,643
Did you book the trio
- for next Jazz Night?
- Booked and confirmed.
71
00:02:45,687 --> 00:02:47,819
And you got
the extra cases of wine
72
00:02:47,863 --> 00:02:49,734
for the Breslin wedding
- this weekend?
- Check.
73
00:02:49,778 --> 00:02:52,215
Oh, and can you meet
with the new waitress I hired?
74
00:02:52,259 --> 00:02:54,609
No, restaurant personnel
is your thing.
75
00:02:54,652 --> 00:02:56,219
Yes, that's true.
76
00:02:56,263 --> 00:02:57,699
Except when I hire someone
I'd like you to meet
77
00:02:57,742 --> 00:02:59,744
because she would be perfect
for you.
78
00:02:59,788 --> 00:03:01,964
No more setups.
I thought I was clear.
79
00:03:02,007 --> 00:03:04,053
- We're not doing this anymore.
- You were clear.
80
00:03:04,096 --> 00:03:06,360
But I still feel guilty about
how things went down with Sasha
81
00:03:06,403 --> 00:03:09,232
when I kind of,
sort of broke you guys up.
82
00:03:09,276 --> 00:03:10,755
[Michael sighs]
I want to make it up to you.
83
00:03:10,799 --> 00:03:12,366
That wasn't your fault.
84
00:03:12,409 --> 00:03:15,282
Anyway, you can make it up to me
by just hanging out.
85
00:03:15,325 --> 00:03:17,371
Let's go see that Chinese film
86
00:03:17,414 --> 00:03:19,808
playing at the independent
theater in Midtown tonight. Hen hao.
87
00:03:20,896 --> 00:03:22,332
As an international businessman,
88
00:03:22,376 --> 00:03:24,247
I speak a little bit
of a lot of languages.
89
00:03:24,291 --> 00:03:27,250
And that means "very good."
- I'm in.
- Perfect.
90
00:03:27,294 --> 00:03:28,686
Uh, one more thing.
91
00:03:29,687 --> 00:03:30,906
If you're not gonna date
the waitress,
92
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:32,299
do you mind firing her?
93
00:03:32,342 --> 00:03:33,256
She's been getting
a lot of complaints
94
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:34,823
in the last three days,
95
00:03:34,866 --> 00:03:36,520
and, uh, I was only
keeping her on for you.
96
00:03:36,564 --> 00:03:38,435
Hmm. Not happening.
97
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:40,132
DOMINIQUE:
Where is everyone?
98
00:03:40,176 --> 00:03:42,265
And, more importantly,
where is breakfast?
99
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:45,137
Blake told Mrs. Gunnerson
not to lay out a big spread
100
00:03:45,181 --> 00:03:47,444
because he went
to an early breakfast meeting,
101
00:03:47,488 --> 00:03:49,925
so apparently if Blake doesn't
need to eat, then none of us do.
102
00:03:49,968 --> 00:03:51,927
I wanted celebratory mimosas,
103
00:03:51,970 --> 00:03:54,321
but the celebration is missing
from my juice.
104
00:03:54,364 --> 00:03:56,975
- And so is the audience.
- LIAM: Oh, yeah?
105
00:03:57,019 --> 00:03:58,890
- Why? What are you celebrating?
- DOMINIQUE: Dom-Mystique
106
00:03:58,934 --> 00:04:00,892
was selected as a
Final Five Finalist
107
00:04:00,936 --> 00:04:04,418
for the NordicStar Airline
uniform design contest.
108
00:04:04,461 --> 00:04:07,203
I'll settle for your
- solo admiration.
- Hey.
109
00:04:07,247 --> 00:04:08,639
Congratulations.
110
00:04:08,683 --> 00:04:10,380
Well, that was a
little perfunctory.
111
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:13,427
[whoops]
112
00:04:13,470 --> 00:04:15,342
- Congratulations!
- Better.
113
00:04:15,385 --> 00:04:17,213
Actually, I just signed the
paperwork for my next book deal,
114
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:20,608
so you
could be congratulating me.
115
00:04:21,609 --> 00:04:23,437
Congratulations!
116
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,047
You're right,
that does feel good.
117
00:04:25,090 --> 00:04:27,179
Told you. So, what are you
planning to write about?
118
00:04:27,223 --> 00:04:29,312
Actually, I'm not sure.
You know, the good news is
119
00:04:29,356 --> 00:04:30,966
I have a ton of ideas. I just
don't know which one's right.
120
00:04:31,009 --> 00:04:33,838
I could help you choose.
I'm a very creative person.
121
00:04:33,882 --> 00:04:37,320
Did I mention
I made the Final Five?
122
00:04:37,364 --> 00:04:38,887
Yeah, you did. Twice now.
123
00:04:38,930 --> 00:04:40,323
But you can text me
the news again
124
00:04:40,367 --> 00:04:41,890
if you want to go
for the trifecta.
125
00:04:41,933 --> 00:04:44,545
Your sarcasm aside,
the offer still stands.
126
00:04:44,588 --> 00:04:47,330
I'm actually headed out to
meet my old writing professor
127
00:04:47,374 --> 00:04:49,245
to talk through
the ideas, but hey,
128
00:04:49,289 --> 00:04:51,029
if he's not helpful, at least
now I know who to call.
129
00:04:51,073 --> 00:04:54,685
Just like you know who to call
if you need fashion tips.
130
00:04:55,686 --> 00:04:56,774
Right.
131
00:04:59,864 --> 00:05:02,693
Shouldn't you be breakfasting
with your new favorite brother?
132
00:05:02,737 --> 00:05:04,913
So I talked to Ben.
Big deal.
133
00:05:04,956 --> 00:05:08,003
Just like I told him, I'm not
taking sides in this war.
134
00:05:08,046 --> 00:05:10,788
You should take sides.
There's no room for Switzerland.
135
00:05:10,832 --> 00:05:13,095
We need to talk about
how to fight back against Ben.
136
00:05:13,138 --> 00:05:15,271
That? See? That's support.
137
00:05:15,315 --> 00:05:16,881
Not too late
to jump to the winning side.
138
00:05:16,925 --> 00:05:18,143
I wouldn't be so cocky.
139
00:05:18,187 --> 00:05:20,363
Ben said he talked
to Thomas's old lawyer
140
00:05:20,407 --> 00:05:21,973
and found out you had
141
00:05:22,017 --> 00:05:24,846
several conversations
after your mother died.
142
00:05:24,889 --> 00:05:26,238
You better watch out.
143
00:05:26,282 --> 00:05:27,892
Why? Those conversations
are privileged.
144
00:05:27,936 --> 00:05:29,807
Not if they're illegal.
You can't pressure someone
145
00:05:29,851 --> 00:05:32,810
to change their will
based on false information.
146
00:05:32,854 --> 00:05:34,290
So Ben
147
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:36,031
is going to subpoena
those documents
148
00:05:36,074 --> 00:05:37,380
to prove you did it.
149
00:05:37,424 --> 00:05:40,078
Luckily, none of it involves me,
150
00:05:40,122 --> 00:05:42,037
so ta-ta.
151
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,301
Is that true? Did you meet with
Grandfather's lawyer back then?
152
00:05:45,345 --> 00:05:46,824
Yeah, I met
with Joel Harris a few times.
153
00:05:46,868 --> 00:05:48,173
And I told him
154
00:05:48,217 --> 00:05:50,001
to advise my father
to cut Ben out of the will
155
00:05:50,045 --> 00:05:52,090
not because
of some false information
156
00:05:52,134 --> 00:05:55,093
but based on the fact
that Ben killed our mother.
157
00:05:55,137 --> 00:05:57,095
I don't think any of
this matters in court.
158
00:05:57,139 --> 00:05:59,663
You are once again downplaying
the danger of the situation.
159
00:05:59,707 --> 00:06:01,622
I agree.
Harris always had someone
160
00:06:01,665 --> 00:06:03,406
taking notes
during meetings.
161
00:06:03,450 --> 00:06:06,148
Those transcripts must be
what Ben's trying to subpoena.
162
00:06:06,191 --> 00:06:08,672
So we just have to find a way
to stop that from happening.
163
00:06:08,716 --> 00:06:10,021
If we get caught tampering
with evidence,
164
00:06:10,065 --> 00:06:11,806
it'll only make things
much worse.
165
00:06:11,849 --> 00:06:13,938
So then we won't get caught.
What else are we gonna do,
166
00:06:13,982 --> 00:06:15,810
cross our fingers
and hope that the lawyers
167
00:06:15,853 --> 00:06:18,334
have the case tossed out?
No. That's not gonna work.
168
00:06:18,378 --> 00:06:20,205
What exactly
do you suggest we do?
169
00:06:20,249 --> 00:06:22,077
- Destroy the records.
- Destroy the records.
170
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,385
You see?
- This is the Carrington way.
- CRISTAL: What is?
171
00:06:25,428 --> 00:06:27,343
Going to jail before
the trial even begins?
172
00:06:27,387 --> 00:06:29,998
- Blake.
- No, I'm with Fallon on this.
173
00:06:30,041 --> 00:06:32,174
If we cut Ben off at the knees
before the trial starts,
174
00:06:32,217 --> 00:06:34,655
it's worth the risk.
I'm glad you're in my corner.
175
00:06:34,698 --> 00:06:36,439
Well,
it's not just about you anymore.
176
00:06:36,483 --> 00:06:38,267
It's about everything
I've been working towards
177
00:06:38,310 --> 00:06:40,400
and the legacy I'm building
for my family.
178
00:06:40,443 --> 00:06:41,618
Well, I take it back, then.
179
00:06:41,662 --> 00:06:43,446
Too late.
I'm not having my child
180
00:06:43,490 --> 00:06:45,056
born into a Carrington war.
181
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:46,971
I want him or her growing up
182
00:06:47,015 --> 00:06:49,060
knowing that we are doing
a lot of good in the world.
183
00:06:49,104 --> 00:06:51,280
- All of us want that, Fallon.
- FALLON: Maybe.
184
00:06:51,323 --> 00:06:52,629
But I'm the one
who's actually willing
185
00:06:52,673 --> 00:06:53,935
to do something about it.
186
00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:56,416
♪
187
00:07:03,814 --> 00:07:05,990
Oh, I'm sorry.
The club's not open yet.
188
00:07:06,034 --> 00:07:07,601
- Not for a few more hours.
- GENEVA: Well, then,
189
00:07:07,644 --> 00:07:09,211
I'm sorry. [chuckles]
190
00:07:09,254 --> 00:07:10,821
I was just looking
for a place to grab a beer,
191
00:07:10,865 --> 00:07:11,953
watch the Atlantix game.
192
00:07:11,996 --> 00:07:13,476
Oh, you should go
over to La Mirage.
193
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:14,477
Actually,
194
00:07:14,521 --> 00:07:16,348
if you give me a couple seconds,
195
00:07:16,392 --> 00:07:17,654
I can walk you over to the bar,
196
00:07:17,698 --> 00:07:18,873
put the game on for you.
197
00:07:18,916 --> 00:07:20,527
That'd be great. Thanks.
198
00:07:20,570 --> 00:07:23,138
By any chance,
do they have a chocolate tart?
199
00:07:23,181 --> 00:07:24,618
I have a sweet tooth
200
00:07:24,661 --> 00:07:26,446
that's calling for some
attention. Unless it's a cavity.
201
00:07:26,489 --> 00:07:28,360
They do indeed serve
a chocolate tart,
202
00:07:28,404 --> 00:07:30,885
which happens to be
my favorite dessert.
203
00:07:30,928 --> 00:07:34,932
So, you love beer,
- soccer and chocolate?
- Yeah.
204
00:07:34,976 --> 00:07:36,804
Did Sam put you up to this?
205
00:07:36,847 --> 00:07:39,459
- Are you a waitress?
- I have no idea who Sam is
206
00:07:39,502 --> 00:07:41,112
or why you think
I work in hospitality,
207
00:07:41,156 --> 00:07:42,766
but as long as you're
walking me over,
208
00:07:42,810 --> 00:07:44,551
you want to join me
for the game and some dessert?
209
00:07:44,594 --> 00:07:45,856
This may sound weird,
210
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:47,728
especially since we met
four seconds ago,
211
00:07:47,771 --> 00:07:51,166
but I'm not really looking
- to date anyone right now.
- Ah.
212
00:07:51,209 --> 00:07:53,777
Neither am I.
Another thing we have in common.
213
00:07:53,821 --> 00:07:56,606
This would be a not-date.
No strings.
214
00:07:56,650 --> 00:07:58,956
So, a stringless not-date.
215
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,046
[chuckles]
That I can probably do.
216
00:08:02,090 --> 00:08:04,353
But I still have a little more
work, so is it okay
217
00:08:04,396 --> 00:08:06,921
if our not-date
happened later tonight?
218
00:08:06,964 --> 00:08:09,053
Yeah. Yeah, that works for me.
219
00:08:09,097 --> 00:08:10,968
ALEXIS:
No need to panic
220
00:08:11,012 --> 00:08:14,102
when you have the key
to eternal youth right here.
221
00:08:14,145 --> 00:08:15,538
DOMINIQUE:
That skin cream
222
00:08:15,582 --> 00:08:17,758
may keep your face young
for a little while,
223
00:08:17,801 --> 00:08:19,281
but use too much,
and you'll end up
224
00:08:19,324 --> 00:08:21,588
with a rapidly
deteriorating brain
225
00:08:21,631 --> 00:08:23,720
like this one.[laughs]
226
00:08:23,764 --> 00:08:25,983
The only thing
rapidly deteriorating
227
00:08:26,027 --> 00:08:27,724
is my patience for you.
228
00:08:27,768 --> 00:08:30,031
Well, then you should be
happy that you get to handle
229
00:08:30,074 --> 00:08:32,599
the FSN anniversary
show by yourself.
230
00:08:32,642 --> 00:08:35,384
[gasps][chuckles]
I'll miss you, Dominoes.
231
00:08:35,427 --> 00:08:37,995
[clears throat]
But I have a brief hiatus
232
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:41,129
to work on my Final Five project
233
00:08:41,172 --> 00:08:42,130
for NordicStar.
234
00:08:42,173 --> 00:08:43,740
Oh, that's too bad.
235
00:08:43,784 --> 00:08:45,350
"We'll miss you,"
said no one.
236
00:08:45,394 --> 00:08:48,876
Well, that's our show.
One of us will see you tomorrow.
237
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:51,095
[bell rings]
DIRECTOR: Okay, that's a wrap.
238
00:08:51,139 --> 00:08:52,793
Try not to mess it up
while I'm gone.
239
00:08:52,836 --> 00:08:54,055
Try not to come back.
240
00:08:54,098 --> 00:08:55,230
[applause]
241
00:08:57,145 --> 00:08:59,582
Great show, Mother. And Dom's
temporary absence is perfect.
242
00:08:59,626 --> 00:09:03,020
I can step in
and talk up my Adam Injection.
243
00:09:03,064 --> 00:09:05,588
First, don't ever
call it that again. Second,
244
00:09:05,632 --> 00:09:08,112
the injectable is not a
direct-to-consumer product.
245
00:09:08,156 --> 00:09:09,418
It doesn't belong on FSN.
246
00:09:09,461 --> 00:09:11,246
It needs to be sold
in a doctor's office.
247
00:09:11,289 --> 00:09:14,249
No, I don't want to sell it
on FSN. I want to build buzz.
248
00:09:14,292 --> 00:09:17,252
I want, to, you know,
talk about the injection on air,
249
00:09:17,295 --> 00:09:19,515
encourage women to go
to their dermatologists.
250
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,039
You know, research shows
that sales double when patients
251
00:09:22,083 --> 00:09:23,606
make requests.
Do you have a tic,
252
00:09:23,650 --> 00:09:25,042
or are you just so used
to saying no to me?
253
00:09:25,086 --> 00:09:26,870
I am the face of the company.
Not you.
254
00:09:26,914 --> 00:09:28,611
Let's not confuse things.
255
00:09:28,655 --> 00:09:30,613
The only confusion is
why you wouldn't do something
256
00:09:30,657 --> 00:09:31,962
that would help the company.
257
00:09:32,006 --> 00:09:33,921
I understand,
but I don't trust you
258
00:09:33,964 --> 00:09:35,792
to announce the injectable
on air.
259
00:09:35,836 --> 00:09:38,012
You are a bit of a wild card.
260
00:09:38,055 --> 00:09:39,361
But don't worry, dear.
261
00:09:39,404 --> 00:09:41,319
We'll work
on the launch strategy together.
262
00:09:41,363 --> 00:09:42,625
Later.
263
00:09:42,669 --> 00:09:44,061
But...
264
00:09:45,062 --> 00:09:47,891
KINGSTON:
These ideas are all
very... workmanlike.
265
00:09:47,935 --> 00:09:49,676
I'm gonna choose
266
00:09:49,719 --> 00:09:51,503
to not take that
as the insult it sounds like.
267
00:09:51,547 --> 00:09:53,331
Well,
I guess that's your choice.
268
00:09:53,375 --> 00:09:56,247
- Is there one idea that you like?
- Which idea I like
269
00:09:56,291 --> 00:09:58,162
is unrelated
to what you should write.
270
00:09:58,206 --> 00:10:00,077
Where's the confidence you
used to wear like armor
271
00:10:00,121 --> 00:10:01,905
when you first set foot
in my lecture hall?
272
00:10:01,949 --> 00:10:03,951
[chuckles]: That was
a long time ago, Professor.
273
00:10:03,994 --> 00:10:06,388
Look, and honestly, I-I reached
out to you because I'm not
274
00:10:06,431 --> 00:10:07,998
feeling confident at all
these days.
275
00:10:08,042 --> 00:10:09,565
I mean, the pressure
of living up to my last book
276
00:10:09,609 --> 00:10:11,045
and now movie?
Like, it's just...
277
00:10:11,088 --> 00:10:12,916
It's messing with my head.
278
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,614
Oh, I've been there.
A million ideas
279
00:10:14,657 --> 00:10:16,180
and no depth to any of them.
280
00:10:16,224 --> 00:10:17,442
Well, I didn't say that.
281
00:10:17,486 --> 00:10:18,879
No, I did.
282
00:10:18,922 --> 00:10:21,142
That's what's
happening here, Liam.
283
00:10:21,185 --> 00:10:22,622
You're swimming
in the shallow end.
284
00:10:24,232 --> 00:10:25,755
Okay, so,
how do I get to the deep end?
285
00:10:25,799 --> 00:10:27,322
That's up to you.
286
00:10:27,365 --> 00:10:29,498
I don't teach swimming.
I teach literature.
287
00:10:29,541 --> 00:10:31,587
[scoffs softly]
Look, why don't you come
talk to my class next week?
288
00:10:31,631 --> 00:10:34,938
You can tell them what it's like
to be a professional writer.[chuckles]
289
00:10:34,982 --> 00:10:37,506
Look, as much as I would love
humiliating myself
290
00:10:37,549 --> 00:10:38,986
in front of your class,
I think I, uh,
291
00:10:39,029 --> 00:10:40,596
need to focus
on getting to the deep end.
292
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:41,771
Okay.
293
00:10:41,815 --> 00:10:43,599
Just don't drown in metaphors.
294
00:10:44,774 --> 00:10:47,516
So, I spoke to a contact
in Savannah
295
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:48,865
who's worked with Harris,
296
00:10:48,909 --> 00:10:50,388
and he does still have
a secretary
297
00:10:50,432 --> 00:10:52,347
who transcribes
every client conversation.
298
00:10:52,390 --> 00:10:54,697
So what now? You go in
pretending to be a new client
299
00:10:54,741 --> 00:10:56,003
worried about confidentiality
300
00:10:56,046 --> 00:10:57,569
and ask where the
conversations are stored?
301
00:10:57,613 --> 00:10:59,441
I was gonna make it sound
much more exciting than that,
302
00:10:59,484 --> 00:11:00,877
but yeah,
that's basically the plan.
303
00:11:00,921 --> 00:11:02,574
I think that's too risky.
304
00:11:02,618 --> 00:11:03,880
I can just have one of my guys
can break in after hours
305
00:11:03,924 --> 00:11:05,534
and steal the records.
306
00:11:05,577 --> 00:11:07,275
We still don't know
where the files are stored.
307
00:11:07,318 --> 00:11:10,539
And Harris's assistant
is a sweet old lady named Ida
308
00:11:10,582 --> 00:11:12,454
who loves to gab.
It'll be perfect.
309
00:11:12,497 --> 00:11:13,673
Old ladies love me.
310
00:11:14,499 --> 00:11:16,066
Well, they don't hate me.
311
00:11:16,110 --> 00:11:17,894
Let me go to Savannah with you.
312
00:11:17,938 --> 00:11:19,940
Obviously, Blake can't go
because Harris knows him.
313
00:11:19,983 --> 00:11:21,506
Does he know you?
314
00:11:21,550 --> 00:11:23,117
Well, he hasn't seen me
since I was a child.
315
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,727
But I don't want you
coming to Savannah with me.
316
00:11:24,771 --> 00:11:26,337
You just don't have
the Carrington backbone
317
00:11:26,381 --> 00:11:28,339
for this type of thing.
No offense.
318
00:11:28,383 --> 00:11:29,906
Well, guess what? I'm offended.
319
00:11:29,950 --> 00:11:31,168
See? No backbone.
320
00:11:31,212 --> 00:11:32,866
Enough! All right?
321
00:11:32,909 --> 00:11:34,302
You need her help, Fallon.
322
00:11:34,345 --> 00:11:36,260
Someone needs to deal
with Harris
323
00:11:36,304 --> 00:11:38,132
while you find the files.
324
00:11:38,175 --> 00:11:39,829
We're all on the
same team here.
325
00:11:39,873 --> 00:11:41,613
And some of us know
how to play better with others.
326
00:11:41,657 --> 00:11:43,093
She goes with you.
327
00:11:43,137 --> 00:11:44,747
Fine. She can come with me.
328
00:11:44,791 --> 00:11:46,662
Just don't get in my way.
329
00:11:48,011 --> 00:11:50,622
Saw your post on social
media about the Final Five.
330
00:11:50,666 --> 00:11:52,146
Thought you might want
to celebrate.
331
00:11:52,189 --> 00:11:53,843
Nothing personal,
but I'm not really in the mood
332
00:11:53,887 --> 00:11:55,105
for celebrating right now.
333
00:11:55,149 --> 00:11:57,064
Why? Did something happen?
334
00:11:57,107 --> 00:11:59,631
What happened is it's one thing
to wow on the page.
335
00:11:59,675 --> 00:12:01,938
It's another to go
from the page to the stage.
336
00:12:01,982 --> 00:12:04,419
[sighs] Do you remember
the party I threw
337
00:12:04,462 --> 00:12:05,812
after my junior prom?
338
00:12:05,855 --> 00:12:09,032
[chuckles]
I don't remember much of it.
339
00:12:09,076 --> 00:12:12,688
Probably because of that same
cheap liquor you brought over.
340
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:14,124
You still drink that stuff?[chuckles]
341
00:12:14,168 --> 00:12:15,560
Yeah, on special occasions.
342
00:12:15,604 --> 00:12:18,215
Your mom was so mad
when she found out
343
00:12:18,259 --> 00:12:20,087
you'd snuck out to party
with us. You remember?
344
00:12:20,130 --> 00:12:23,133
Especially because my friends
were all so into you.
345
00:12:23,177 --> 00:12:25,527
She grounded me for a month.
That much I do remember.
346
00:12:25,570 --> 00:12:27,877
Point is, you have a wow factor
without even trying.
347
00:12:27,921 --> 00:12:29,487
So just treat the judges
348
00:12:29,531 --> 00:12:30,967
of this contest the same way.
349
00:12:31,011 --> 00:12:33,491
Do your thing,
and you'll be amazing.
350
00:12:33,535 --> 00:12:35,102
That's easier said than done.
351
00:12:35,145 --> 00:12:36,451
You know, a critic once said
352
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:37,582
that Marc Chagall
couldn't draw well,
353
00:12:37,626 --> 00:12:39,280
but the Four Seasons
354
00:12:39,323 --> 00:12:42,239
is one of the most beautiful
mosaics I've ever seen.
355
00:12:42,283 --> 00:12:43,719
He wouldn't have made that
piece if he gave a crap
356
00:12:43,763 --> 00:12:45,068
about what other people
thought of him.
357
00:12:45,112 --> 00:12:48,680
You have just given me
a delicious idea.
358
00:12:48,724 --> 00:12:51,553
Maybe I can do my version
359
00:12:51,596 --> 00:12:53,250
of the Four Seasons.
360
00:12:53,294 --> 00:12:56,558
A uniform for each one.[chuckles]
361
00:12:56,601 --> 00:12:58,603
So your solution
is to quadruple your work?
362
00:12:58,647 --> 00:13:00,518
It will definitely set me apart.
363
00:13:00,562 --> 00:13:04,000
Hey, uh, one question.
364
00:13:05,132 --> 00:13:06,481
You didn't tell Blake
about my plans
365
00:13:06,524 --> 00:13:08,918
to subpoena our father's lawyer,
did you?
366
00:13:08,962 --> 00:13:10,964
[sighs]
I may have mentioned it.
367
00:13:11,007 --> 00:13:13,096
I told you.
No more secrets,
368
00:13:13,140 --> 00:13:16,839
remember? Honestly, you
and Blake are exactly the same.
369
00:13:16,883 --> 00:13:18,101
Exhausting.
370
00:13:18,145 --> 00:13:20,451
Oof, don't ever say that again.
371
00:13:20,495 --> 00:13:21,844
[exhales]
372
00:13:21,888 --> 00:13:23,541
[glass thuds]
I'll leave you to it.
373
00:13:23,585 --> 00:13:26,109
Maybe leave some of that
cheap stuff while you're at it.
374
00:13:27,937 --> 00:13:28,938
ADAM:
Mother,
375
00:13:28,982 --> 00:13:30,331
I brought you your favorite,
376
00:13:30,374 --> 00:13:32,028
strawberry-nana.
377
00:13:32,072 --> 00:13:35,989
Oh, this reeks of bribery and...
378
00:13:36,032 --> 00:13:37,817
banana.
379
00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:39,993
- Hmm.
- Okay. Well, if you have a couple minutes.
380
00:13:40,036 --> 00:13:42,560
I have a presentation
on how cosmetic treatments
381
00:13:42,604 --> 00:13:45,868
sell five times better
when presented by a doctor.
382
00:13:45,912 --> 00:13:47,304
I am not in the mood
for a book report.
383
00:13:47,348 --> 00:13:48,479
Okay, look,
I know you said you...
384
00:13:48,523 --> 00:13:50,264
you don't trust me to go on air,
385
00:13:50,307 --> 00:13:52,092
but I want to prove to you
that you can.
386
00:13:52,135 --> 00:13:53,833
I'm-I'm ready.
I have these facts.
387
00:13:53,876 --> 00:13:55,660
You've misunderstood.
388
00:13:55,704 --> 00:13:58,794
The facts are not the issue.
It is the fact
389
00:13:58,838 --> 00:14:00,013
that my children
390
00:14:00,056 --> 00:14:02,015
all want to steal my thunder
for some reason.
391
00:14:02,058 --> 00:14:05,279
Fallon announcing her surrogate
at my wedding.
392
00:14:05,322 --> 00:14:08,412
Amanda announcing
her relationship
393
00:14:08,456 --> 00:14:10,850
with Crocodile Dimwit
at my wedding.
394
00:14:10,893 --> 00:14:12,503
And you already announcing
395
00:14:12,547 --> 00:14:14,288
the injectable at my wedding.
396
00:14:14,331 --> 00:14:17,465
And now you want to do it again
on my show.
397
00:14:17,508 --> 00:14:18,466
[clears throat]
398
00:14:18,509 --> 00:14:19,510
Is there just nothing
399
00:14:19,554 --> 00:14:21,425
that I can do that is...
400
00:14:22,339 --> 00:14:24,907
...my own? It's... It just...
401
00:14:24,951 --> 00:14:27,475
It makes me...
[gags] It...
402
00:14:27,518 --> 00:14:29,694
All right. All right.[vomiting]
403
00:14:29,738 --> 00:14:31,000
All right, Mother. Very funny.
404
00:14:32,262 --> 00:14:34,090
Okay, just... You can stop
with the melodrama now.
405
00:14:34,134 --> 00:14:35,875
Oh, my God.
406
00:14:35,918 --> 00:14:37,485
I don't feel good.
407
00:14:37,528 --> 00:14:39,487
Oh, no. Oh.
408
00:14:39,530 --> 00:14:41,489
Oh, you're burning up.
409
00:14:41,532 --> 00:14:43,839
- I need to sit down.
- Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.
410
00:14:51,325 --> 00:14:54,589
I just don't understand why
Cristal has to insert herself
411
00:14:54,632 --> 00:14:55,851
into everything.
412
00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:57,200
I mean, it was fine
when it was just PPA,
413
00:14:57,244 --> 00:14:59,333
but now I have to go babysit her
in Savannah?
414
00:14:59,376 --> 00:15:01,639
Maybe she's just trying to help.
I thought the two of you
415
00:15:01,683 --> 00:15:02,771
were getting along.
Actually, if you don't mind...
416
00:15:02,814 --> 00:15:04,338
Yes, yes, yes, she helped me
417
00:15:04,381 --> 00:15:05,905
when I realized
that I couldn't get pregnant,
418
00:15:05,948 --> 00:15:07,776
but, you know, that's the sort
of thing that she's good at.
419
00:15:07,819 --> 00:15:09,256
Softer stuff.
420
00:15:09,299 --> 00:15:12,128
And right now, I need a fighter,
not a hugger.
421
00:15:12,172 --> 00:15:14,391
Honestly, I'd rather go
to Savannah with you.
422
00:15:14,435 --> 00:15:16,611
Well, I'd love to,
but I'm trying to write.
423
00:15:16,654 --> 00:15:18,091
All I see is a blank screen.
424
00:15:18,134 --> 00:15:19,309
Because you won't let me think.
425
00:15:19,353 --> 00:15:21,050
Okay? It's-it's a process.
426
00:15:21,094 --> 00:15:23,574
Okay. You don't have to tell me
when I'm not wanted.
427
00:15:23,618 --> 00:15:25,098
I can take a hint.
428
00:15:25,141 --> 00:15:26,926
Are you sure about that?
429
00:15:26,969 --> 00:15:28,753
Good luck today.
430
00:15:30,625 --> 00:15:31,669

Look, I wasn't looking for it,

but I met this woman,
she seems great,
457
00:16:53,099 --> 00:16:55,971
and it feels a little silly
to not let it play out.

if you want me to.

You mean if you stopped
trying so hard.

Well, since you didn't
let me set you up,

- soccer and chocolate.

Maybe. Is that weird?

No. At least you're

Okay, I'll let her know.
474
00:17:30,919 --> 00:17:32,355
What did the network say?
475
00:17:32,399 --> 00:17:34,836
You can't do the FSN
anniversary show tomorrow

This is ridiculous!

that I prescribed you, and--

00:17:45,325 --> 00:17:46,935
and drink this smoothie.

vitamin C in it.

to speed up recovery.

Drink the smoothie.

It'll make you feel better.
488
00:17:58,860 --> 00:18:00,514
And I'll go on FSN.
489
00:18:00,557 --> 00:18:02,385
I will prevent Alexam
from taking a hit.

- I'm fully prepared.
- Fine.

I will stay in bed,

and you go present at FSN,
just like you wanted.

way it turned out,

the best for everyone.

Psst!

Ugh, get rid of that,
and don't drink it

00:18:23,711 --> 00:18:25,843
unless you want to end up
as sick as I am.

Ugh, this is why people
don't trust doctors.

we're on the same page,

you're getting the lawyer
out of the room,

and I'll get the
assistant talking.

Or maybe we reverse that.

00:18:39,292 --> 00:18:41,946
You get the lawyer out
and I talk to the assistant.
507
00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:43,818
I have a little more finesse
with people.
508
00:18:43,861 --> 00:18:45,341
Yeah, that's not happening.
509
00:18:45,385 --> 00:18:47,778

of saying weak.

me. I've done nothing...

for the wait.

Ida here is just going
to set up her stenotype
514
00:18:58,528 --> 00:19:00,313
for the meeting,
if that's okay.
515
00:19:00,356 --> 00:19:03,403
Oh, that's more than okay.
It's perfect.
516
00:19:03,446 --> 00:19:05,753
Okay, then.
Now, how can I help?
517
00:19:05,796 --> 00:19:08,799
Your email said something
about estate planning.
518
00:19:08,843 --> 00:19:10,149
Now, how are you related?
519
00:19:10,192 --> 00:19:12,281
- We're sisters.
- We're business partners.
520
00:19:12,325 --> 00:19:13,500
We're sister
- business partners.
- Stepsisters.
521
00:19:13,543 --> 00:19:15,023
Stepsister business
partners, yeah.
522
00:19:15,066 --> 00:19:18,331
So you want a plan that will
protect your business
523
00:19:18,374 --> 00:19:20,898
- and personal assets?
- Exactly.
524
00:19:20,942 --> 00:19:23,988
We just want to be prepared
in case my stepsister
525
00:19:24,032 --> 00:19:26,904
passes away suddenly,
you know.
526
00:19:26,948 --> 00:19:28,471
Because she is so frail.
527
00:19:28,515 --> 00:19:29,559
Or if she does.
528
00:19:29,603 --> 00:19:30,995
She's great at making enemies.
529
00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:32,736
Yeah. Although, I do
think it will be her.
530
00:19:32,780 --> 00:19:34,738
I do. Just because she is
so much older.
531
00:19:34,782 --> 00:19:36,087
Aren't you, Gretchen?
[laughs]
532
00:19:36,131 --> 00:19:38,002
Though, you did mention to me,
533
00:19:38,046 --> 00:19:39,613
that you wanted to speak
to Mr. Harris
534
00:19:39,656 --> 00:19:40,788
in private, didn't you?
535
00:19:40,831 --> 00:19:43,747
Yes, Ingrid, I do. Yeah.
536
00:19:43,791 --> 00:19:46,881
Could we go into that conference
room I saw in the hall?
537
00:19:46,924 --> 00:19:48,317
No problem.
538
00:19:48,361 --> 00:19:50,972
It'll just take a minute
for Ida to pack up.
539
00:19:51,015 --> 00:19:54,149
Oh, I'd prefer Ida stay here.
I really value my privacy.
540
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:55,759
Well, lead the way.
541
00:20:02,505 --> 00:20:04,899
So, Ida, um... Yes.
542
00:20:04,942 --> 00:20:08,076
Speaking of privacy,
what do you do with
543
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,209
all the notes you take
on that little doo-dad there?
544
00:20:10,252 --> 00:20:13,473
We take very good care of our
clients' private conversations.
545
00:20:13,516 --> 00:20:14,909
Well, that sounds
a little vague.
546
00:20:14,952 --> 00:20:16,780
I just think I would
feel more comfortable
547
00:20:16,824 --> 00:20:19,653
knowing exactly where
you kept the transcriptions.
548
00:20:19,696 --> 00:20:20,697
You know, since
we're considering
549
00:20:20,741 --> 00:20:21,959
bringing our business here.
550
00:20:22,003 --> 00:20:23,222
Well, they're kept
in a safe place.
551
00:20:23,265 --> 00:20:24,484
No need to worry.
552
00:20:24,527 --> 00:20:26,964
I can't help it.
I'm a worrier, Ida.
553
00:20:27,008 --> 00:20:28,531
You know, I went through
a very bad experience
554
00:20:28,575 --> 00:20:30,098
with my last divorce.
555
00:20:30,141 --> 00:20:32,970
Leaked files.
- A disaster in court.
- Oh, dear.
556
00:20:33,014 --> 00:20:34,233
I'm so sorry.
557
00:20:34,276 --> 00:20:35,625
Thank you, thank you.
558
00:20:35,669 --> 00:20:36,974
So we're talking about
computer files or...
559
00:20:37,018 --> 00:20:41,283
Computer files? [laughs]
Well, I wish.
560
00:20:41,327 --> 00:20:44,417
Mr. Harris isn't good
with change or technology.
561
00:20:44,460 --> 00:20:47,115
Now, the printed copies are
stored in a file room
562
00:20:47,158 --> 00:20:49,073
just on the other side
of the bathroom.
563
00:20:49,117 --> 00:20:50,640
You walked by it
on your way in.
564
00:20:50,684 --> 00:20:53,687
Every conversation
since the '80s are in there.
565
00:20:53,730 --> 00:20:55,471
Does that reassure you?
566
00:20:55,515 --> 00:20:58,735
Oh, it sure does.
You're a peach, Ida.
567
00:20:58,779 --> 00:21:00,389
And you know what,
just to make you feel
568
00:21:00,433 --> 00:21:02,783
a little bit more secure,
we have a guard that
569
00:21:02,826 --> 00:21:04,393
watches the building overnight.
570
00:21:04,437 --> 00:21:07,222
So you definitely don't have
to fret about your privacy.
571
00:21:08,876 --> 00:21:11,444
♪
572
00:21:11,487 --> 00:21:13,489
[music stops]
573
00:21:13,533 --> 00:21:16,971
Wow, this seems like
a lot for a not-date.
574
00:21:17,014 --> 00:21:18,451
Yeah, maybe.
575
00:21:18,494 --> 00:21:20,844
Hello, hello.
Sammy Jo Jones. Hi.
576
00:21:20,888 --> 00:21:22,585
It is lovely to meet you.
577
00:21:22,629 --> 00:21:24,500
I'm just coming over to see
how you're enjoying your meal.
578
00:21:24,544 --> 00:21:26,154
Do you need anything?
579
00:21:26,197 --> 00:21:27,677
A little privacy, maybe?
580
00:21:27,721 --> 00:21:29,766
Well, that's not on the menu.
I'm sorry.
581
00:21:29,810 --> 00:21:31,333
[laughs]
No, I'm kidding.
582
00:21:31,377 --> 00:21:32,595
I'll leave you two alone.
583
00:21:32,639 --> 00:21:35,337
And of course, the meal is
on the house.
584
00:21:35,381 --> 00:21:36,773
Wow.
All right?
Yes.
585
00:21:36,817 --> 00:21:38,079
Okay.
Thank you.
586
00:21:38,122 --> 00:21:39,776
- All right. Bye-bye.
- Bye, now. Okay.
587
00:21:39,820 --> 00:21:42,431
So, um, are all the bartenders
treated so well here?
588
00:21:42,475 --> 00:21:45,434
Bartenders? Oh, no,
I'm not a bartender.
589
00:21:45,478 --> 00:21:48,394
Although you would not be
the first woman to assume that.
590
00:21:48,437 --> 00:21:52,136
I actually am the co-owner
of this place with Sam.
591
00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:53,573
Oh, wow.
592
00:21:53,616 --> 00:21:54,922
And what do you do?
593
00:21:54,965 --> 00:21:56,402
Oh, I'm between
jobs right now.
594
00:21:56,445 --> 00:21:57,881
My husband passed
away last year,
595
00:21:57,925 --> 00:21:59,318
so I've been dealing with that.
596
00:21:59,361 --> 00:22:00,884
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
597
00:22:00,928 --> 00:22:03,409
Thank you.
598
00:22:03,452 --> 00:22:05,628
I actually am, uh,
I'm finally feeling
599
00:22:05,672 --> 00:22:07,804
ready to move forward.
600
00:22:07,848 --> 00:22:10,503
And this is the first,
and the best,
601
00:22:10,546 --> 00:22:12,287
not-date I've ever been on.
602
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:14,420
Right?
Mm-hmm. [laughs]
603
00:22:14,463 --> 00:22:17,727
It is amazing how we keep
thinking the same thing.
604
00:22:17,771 --> 00:22:18,989
Really?
Mm-hmm.
605
00:22:19,033 --> 00:22:20,600
Hmm. So tell me,
606
00:22:20,643 --> 00:22:22,602
what do you think about this?
607
00:22:22,645 --> 00:22:25,126
Since you own the place... Mm-hmm.
608
00:22:25,169 --> 00:22:27,215
...how do you feel about
skipping dinner
609
00:22:27,258 --> 00:22:29,130
and showing me one
of the rooms here?
610
00:22:29,173 --> 00:22:32,394
I'm thinking that
that's a great idea.
611
00:22:32,438 --> 00:22:35,136
All right, all right,
all right.
612
00:22:35,179 --> 00:22:36,833
We got champagne.
613
00:22:36,877 --> 00:22:39,488
Mm, whoa-ho-ho!
614
00:22:39,532 --> 00:22:41,838
Oh.
615
00:22:43,492 --> 00:22:46,277
Oh. Okay.
616
00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:55,330
Okay, we've watched
this guy enough.
617
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:56,810
He comes around
every nine minutes.
618
00:22:56,853 --> 00:22:59,769
I say the next time
he rounds the corner,
619
00:22:59,813 --> 00:23:02,729
- we go for it.
- Whoa. Hold on.
620
00:23:02,772 --> 00:23:06,080
This has "disaster"
written all over it.
621
00:23:06,123 --> 00:23:07,690
That security guard
has a gun.
622
00:23:07,734 --> 00:23:09,475
I think we should
reconsider the plan.
623
00:23:09,518 --> 00:23:11,215
Unless you want
to get shot again.
624
00:23:11,259 --> 00:23:13,696
Why did you even come here?
625
00:23:13,740 --> 00:23:16,177
I have been on your case
all day because I thought
626
00:23:16,220 --> 00:23:18,440
you needed a little
push to get tougher.
627
00:23:18,484 --> 00:23:20,399
But now I can tell that
you don't care enough
628
00:23:20,442 --> 00:23:22,357
about my family to actually
take a risk for it.
629
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:25,839
Taking a crowbar to a window
isn't a risk, it's stupid.
630
00:23:25,882 --> 00:23:28,885
And a different opinion
doesn't mean I don't care.
631
00:23:28,929 --> 00:23:30,583
I came with you to protect you
632
00:23:30,626 --> 00:23:32,541
from messing up everything
you've been building.
633
00:23:32,585 --> 00:23:34,674
But you've been too busy
pushing me away to even notice.
634
00:23:34,717 --> 00:23:37,546
Getting in my way
is not protecting me.
635
00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:39,374
It's just annoying.
636
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:42,551
After all these years, and
everything we've been through,
637
00:23:42,595 --> 00:23:44,684
you still think
you know best, don't you?
638
00:23:44,727 --> 00:23:46,947
- It's my curse.
- You know what,
639
00:23:46,990 --> 00:23:48,122
it's been a long day.
640
00:23:48,165 --> 00:23:49,253
I'll find my own way home.
641
00:23:49,297 --> 00:23:51,908
Great. I'll handle this myself.
642
00:23:51,952 --> 00:23:53,214
Oh, I'm sure you will.
643
00:23:53,257 --> 00:23:54,955
And when you teach
your future child
644
00:23:54,998 --> 00:23:56,565
how to push everyone away, too,
645
00:23:56,609 --> 00:23:58,349
I'll be happy to pay
the therapy bills.
646
00:24:03,354 --> 00:24:05,226
LIAM:
In case of an emergency,
647
00:24:05,269 --> 00:24:07,881
please find your nearest exits.
648
00:24:07,924 --> 00:24:09,535
I can't believe
I'm doing this.
649
00:24:09,578 --> 00:24:11,275
Jeff is out of town,
and I need a model.
650
00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:13,887
Besides, you said it was
a welcome distraction
651
00:24:13,930 --> 00:24:15,845
from staring at
your blank computer screen.
652
00:24:15,889 --> 00:24:18,413
- How are the sleeves?
- Oh, perfect.
653
00:24:18,457 --> 00:24:20,023
I was trying all day
to figure out
654
00:24:20,067 --> 00:24:22,461
what I'm feeling inside,
but it turns out
655
00:24:22,504 --> 00:24:24,463
it was two sheets of brownies
and a gallon of milk.
656
00:24:24,506 --> 00:24:26,769
That's why I prefer to
keep my mind off things.
657
00:24:26,813 --> 00:24:28,292
I thought you said
you had to do this
658
00:24:28,336 --> 00:24:29,946
for the NordicStar contest.
659
00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:33,036
I do, but it's also
helping me stay sane
660
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,952
in the middle of all of this
Blake/Ben ridiculousness.
661
00:24:35,996 --> 00:24:37,693
I guess living in creativity
is better than living
662
00:24:37,737 --> 00:24:38,868
in family drama.
663
00:24:38,912 --> 00:24:40,740
Exactly.
It's better to be busy
664
00:24:40,783 --> 00:24:42,742
than wrapped up in
your own thoughts all the time.
665
00:24:43,917 --> 00:24:47,573
Demonstrate putting a carry-on
in the overhead compartment.
666
00:24:51,446 --> 00:24:53,100
Okay, this is riding up
a little bit.
667
00:24:53,143 --> 00:24:56,364
Yeah, yeah, I felt I needed
a little more coverage there.
668
00:24:57,670 --> 00:24:58,714
Mother, what are you
doing here?
669
00:24:58,758 --> 00:25:00,411
You should be at home resting.
670
00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:06,461
AUTOMATED VOICE:
Per my doctor's advice,
671
00:25:06,505 --> 00:25:11,205
my real doctor, the only thing
I need to rest
672
00:25:11,248 --> 00:25:12,598
is my voice until I go on air.
673
00:25:12,641 --> 00:25:15,949
You can't go on air.
You're still sick.
674
00:25:15,992 --> 00:25:18,604
You're the sick one.
675
00:25:18,647 --> 00:25:21,955
Sorry your evil plan
didn't work out.
676
00:25:21,998 --> 00:25:25,088
My evil plan? What on earth
are you talking about?
677
00:25:25,132 --> 00:25:27,264
I've been trying to help you.
678
00:25:28,614 --> 00:25:31,181
Like you were helping
with that poison smoogie?
679
00:25:31,225 --> 00:25:33,270
What's a smoogie?
680
00:25:33,314 --> 00:25:35,751
Smoogie. Smoogie.
681
00:25:35,795 --> 00:25:37,405
[hoarsely]:
Smoothie!
682
00:25:37,448 --> 00:25:39,625
You think I was trying to
poison you with a smoothie?
683
00:25:39,668 --> 00:25:41,452
I don't think, I know.
684
00:25:41,496 --> 00:25:43,803
And now you have ruined
strawberry-nana for me forever.
685
00:25:43,846 --> 00:25:46,849
I was drinking the same one.
I wasn't poisoning you.
686
00:25:46,893 --> 00:25:48,547
You just went on your honeymoon.
687
00:25:48,590 --> 00:25:50,070
Maybe you caught
something overseas.
688
00:25:50,113 --> 00:25:53,464
The only thing
I caught is you.
689
00:25:53,508 --> 00:25:55,858
I am done with my children
trying to upstage me.
690
00:25:55,902 --> 00:25:57,991
There are plenty of stages
for all of us.
691
00:25:58,034 --> 00:26:01,124
I've worked hard
for my success.
692
00:26:02,169 --> 00:26:06,216
AUTOMATED VOICE:
And now, on with the snow.
693
00:26:09,219 --> 00:26:12,396
[whistling]
694
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,615
Ha-ha!
695
00:26:13,659 --> 00:26:15,617
Beautiful day, isn't it?
696
00:26:15,661 --> 00:26:18,315
Well, someone's in
a cheerful mood.
697
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,537
I wish I could be as happy about
this tuna melt, but alas...
698
00:26:22,581 --> 00:26:23,886
So I assume your date went well?
699
00:26:23,930 --> 00:26:27,020
Ah, a gentleman never tells.
700
00:26:27,063 --> 00:26:28,543
But yes. Very well.
701
00:26:28,587 --> 00:26:31,590
Well, I'm happy for you.
And for me.
702
00:26:31,633 --> 00:26:33,809
'Cause now the Sasha guilt
is finally gone.
703
00:26:33,853 --> 00:26:35,898
[clicks tongue]
So you really like her, huh?
704
00:26:35,942 --> 00:26:37,378
I know it's only
been one date,
705
00:26:37,421 --> 00:26:39,989
but I feel real potential
with Geneva.
706
00:26:40,033 --> 00:26:41,774
Okay.
707
00:26:41,817 --> 00:26:43,166
- Thanks, Ronnie.
- Mm-hmm.
708
00:26:43,210 --> 00:26:44,428
Can I get you anything,
Mr. Culhane?
709
00:26:44,472 --> 00:26:45,778
Nah, I'm good.
Thanks, though.
710
00:26:45,821 --> 00:26:47,344
So I didn't know you knew
Geneva Abbot.
711
00:26:47,388 --> 00:26:48,955
I saw you two
at dinner last night.
712
00:26:48,998 --> 00:26:50,957
- How do you know her?
- I thought the same way you did.
713
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,046
[laughs]
What does that mean?
714
00:26:53,089 --> 00:26:54,569
- Through her husband.
- Hold on.
715
00:26:54,613 --> 00:26:55,657
- Did you say Abbot?
- Yeah.
716
00:26:55,701 --> 00:26:56,963
I thought her husband
was the guy
717
00:26:57,006 --> 00:26:58,268
who was working on the club
last year.
718
00:26:59,705 --> 00:27:02,664
Uh, you mean Leo?
Leo Abbot?
719
00:27:02,708 --> 00:27:04,405
Yeah, that was his name. Leo.
720
00:27:04,448 --> 00:27:06,886
He was the guy who died.
The contractor, right?
721
00:27:06,929 --> 00:27:08,409
Mm-hmm.
722
00:27:08,452 --> 00:27:10,716
Yes. That's him.
723
00:27:10,759 --> 00:27:13,240
Yeah, she had come by
and visited him a few times.
724
00:27:13,283 --> 00:27:15,851
I met her, and just so sad.
725
00:27:15,895 --> 00:27:17,853
- I hope she's doing okay.
- Yeah.
726
00:27:19,246 --> 00:27:22,466
We need to talk. In private.
727
00:27:28,385 --> 00:27:29,691
What if she knows
everything?
728
00:27:29,735 --> 00:27:32,563
Oh, my God, what if
this is about vengeance,
729
00:27:32,607 --> 00:27:34,653
and she totally seduced you
so that she could kill you?!
730
00:27:34,696 --> 00:27:36,698
If that were true,
I'd already be dead.
731
00:27:36,742 --> 00:27:38,482
And besides, I don't
think she could fake
732
00:27:38,526 --> 00:27:39,483
the connection we had.
733
00:27:39,527 --> 00:27:41,311
Oh, connection?
734
00:27:41,355 --> 00:27:44,532
Like something really electric?
Did you feel sparks?
735
00:27:44,575 --> 00:27:47,753
Okay, again, yes,
she was married to the guy
736
00:27:47,796 --> 00:27:50,843
that we electrocuted,
which led to his...
737
00:27:50,886 --> 00:27:52,453
[very quietly]:
...death.
738
00:27:52,496 --> 00:27:54,194
Yeah. Not ideal.[phone chimes]
739
00:27:56,283 --> 00:27:57,632
Oh, it's her.
740
00:27:57,676 --> 00:27:59,242
"I'd love to see you again.
741
00:27:59,286 --> 00:28:01,723
How about another not-date?"
742
00:28:01,767 --> 00:28:05,248
Only if you want to not-live.
What are you gonna do?
743
00:28:06,815 --> 00:28:08,164
What do you mean,
you didn't go through with it?
744
00:28:08,208 --> 00:28:09,426
It was your idea.
745
00:28:09,470 --> 00:28:10,906
Well, I had the wrong
idea, but now I have
746
00:28:10,950 --> 00:28:13,213
a better plan instead.
747
00:28:13,996 --> 00:28:15,258
Well, what is it?
Oh.
748
00:28:15,302 --> 00:28:16,738
I thought you were
gonna guess it,
749
00:28:16,782 --> 00:28:18,435
like you did last time.
I remembered that
750
00:28:18,479 --> 00:28:20,699
Carrington Atlantic company
policy was to require
751
00:28:20,742 --> 00:28:22,831
personal counseling
to any employees
752
00:28:22,875 --> 00:28:25,094
if an immediate member
of their family had died.
753
00:28:25,138 --> 00:28:28,402
And you think that my father
saw a company-mandated therapist
754
00:28:28,445 --> 00:28:30,447
after my mother died?
No, I highly doubt that.
755
00:28:30,491 --> 00:28:33,102
But if he did, maybe
the therapist mentioned
756
00:28:33,146 --> 00:28:34,843
his disappointment in Ben,
which would relieve you
757
00:28:34,887 --> 00:28:36,802
of any undue influence.
758
00:28:36,845 --> 00:28:40,240
I'm just saying if Ben can
subpoena Grandfather's lawyer,
759
00:28:40,283 --> 00:28:42,633
maybe you can subpoena
his therapist.
760
00:28:42,677 --> 00:28:45,549
That's a few too many "maybes"
for me to be comfortable with.
761
00:28:45,593 --> 00:28:47,290
This whole thing
could be pointless.
762
00:28:47,334 --> 00:28:50,206
Okay, well,
contrary to popular belief,
763
00:28:50,250 --> 00:28:52,861
I do not know everything,
but I do know
764
00:28:52,905 --> 00:28:54,558
that I'm trying really hard
765
00:28:54,602 --> 00:28:56,299
to leave this world
a better place
766
00:28:56,343 --> 00:28:57,779
for my kid.
767
00:28:57,823 --> 00:29:01,174
So playing dirty
no longer fits with that plan.
768
00:29:01,217 --> 00:29:04,786
Well, that's very
mature of you.
769
00:29:04,830 --> 00:29:06,527
You're gonna be a great mother.
770
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,356
Let me call my lawyer
771
00:29:09,399 --> 00:29:10,836
and get that paperwork
in motion.
772
00:29:10,879 --> 00:29:13,229
Great. I just think
it could be worth a shot.
773
00:29:19,453 --> 00:29:24,153
Yeah. Hey, I need you to perform
a run-of-the-mill B&E.
774
00:29:24,197 --> 00:29:28,157
Get some files from
a lawyer's office in Savannah.
775
00:29:29,419 --> 00:29:31,465
As you can see,
I apply the cream
776
00:29:31,508 --> 00:29:36,644
in an upward motion using
the pad of my middle finger.
777
00:29:36,687 --> 00:29:38,298
Whew!
[clears throat]
778
00:29:38,341 --> 00:29:40,866
[voice echoing]:
Ah, don't mind me,
I'm just feeling
779
00:29:40,909 --> 00:29:43,216
a little bit of a dewy glow here.
780
00:29:43,259 --> 00:29:44,739
[echo vanishes]
But don't worry, viewers.
781
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:46,393
I had a small fever yesterday,
782
00:29:46,436 --> 00:29:49,222
and I think I'm just
experiencing residual effect--
783
00:29:49,265 --> 00:29:50,876
[coughing]
784
00:29:50,919 --> 00:29:53,008
Effects.
[chuckles]
785
00:29:53,052 --> 00:29:57,404
Luckily for me, my miracle cream
keeps me looking good...
786
00:29:57,447 --> 00:30:00,537
[coughing]
787
00:30:00,581 --> 00:30:02,583
...even if I feel like...
788
00:30:02,626 --> 00:30:04,890
[coughing]
789
00:30:04,933 --> 00:30:06,413
Aw, even if you're feeling
790
00:30:06,456 --> 00:30:07,893
under the weather,
right, Mother?
791
00:30:10,939 --> 00:30:13,028
You... You...
792
00:30:13,072 --> 00:30:16,727
Oh, you can't talk.
We understand.
793
00:30:16,771 --> 00:30:18,686
That's why I'm here.
794
00:30:18,729 --> 00:30:21,645
Hi, I'm Dr. Adam Carrington.
795
00:30:21,689 --> 00:30:23,865
Apparently my mother's been
working so hard
796
00:30:23,909 --> 00:30:25,214
she's made herself sick...[clears throat]
797
00:30:25,258 --> 00:30:27,608
...all to keep your skin
looking flawless.
798
00:30:27,651 --> 00:30:29,871
[clears throat]
799
00:30:31,568 --> 00:30:34,180
And I know she'd be
so proud to announce,
800
00:30:34,223 --> 00:30:37,009
if she could,
our newest product:
801
00:30:37,052 --> 00:30:39,228
The Alexam Injectable.
802
00:30:39,272 --> 00:30:41,230
Now, this is gonna
change your life.
803
00:30:41,274 --> 00:30:43,015
But you can only get it
from doctors,
804
00:30:43,058 --> 00:30:44,494
so make sure
you make an appointment
805
00:30:44,538 --> 00:30:46,409
with your dermatologist
this week,
806
00:30:46,453 --> 00:30:48,934
and make sure
they know what to order.
807
00:30:48,977 --> 00:30:50,152
SAM:
Geneva.
808
00:30:50,196 --> 00:30:52,502
Back again.
What are you doing here?
809
00:30:52,546 --> 00:30:55,549
- Nothing nefarious, I hope.
- Not that I know of.
810
00:30:55,592 --> 00:30:57,638
I'm actually looking
for Michael.
811
00:30:57,681 --> 00:31:00,380
Oh. Is everything okay?
812
00:31:00,423 --> 00:31:02,599
Not really.
[scoffs]
813
00:31:02,643 --> 00:31:04,210
I feel like an idiot.
814
00:31:04,253 --> 00:31:06,168
He texted me that he doesn't
want to see me anymore,
815
00:31:06,212 --> 00:31:07,822
but I know we had
a good time together,
816
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:11,086
so I feel like I deserve
some kind of explanation.
817
00:31:11,130 --> 00:31:14,698
Well, I'm sure he warned you
that he wasn't ready to date.
818
00:31:14,742 --> 00:31:16,918
Maybe you shouldn't have
pressed him on it?
819
00:31:16,962 --> 00:31:19,834
Unless you have
an ulterior motive.
820
00:31:19,878 --> 00:31:21,618
Why would I need
an ulterior motive?
821
00:31:21,662 --> 00:31:23,316
Have you seen what
that man looks like?
822
00:31:23,359 --> 00:31:26,493
Oh, yeah. I mean, I can't argue
with that. He's hot.
823
00:31:26,536 --> 00:31:27,886
I don't know,
I felt like I was
824
00:31:27,929 --> 00:31:29,626
finally moving on,
you know?
825
00:31:29,670 --> 00:31:32,803
Like I was ready to see what
the next chapter would bring.
826
00:31:32,847 --> 00:31:35,284
You must have known
my husband Leo, right?
827
00:31:35,328 --> 00:31:38,070
He was a construction
contractor here before he died.
828
00:31:38,113 --> 00:31:42,074
Yeah, maybe. I might have
a vague memory of him.
829
00:31:42,117 --> 00:31:43,945
I didn't really spend
much time with the workers.
830
00:31:43,989 --> 00:31:47,949
He had an accident here,
- which led to his death.
- No.
831
00:31:47,993 --> 00:31:50,212
I don't know, I just...
I felt like if I came here,
832
00:31:50,256 --> 00:31:52,693
to the place where it happened,
I could say my final goodbye.
833
00:31:52,998 --> 00:31:55,304
Then I met Michael,
on the same day,
834
00:31:55,348 --> 00:31:57,306
and I thought it was a sign.
835
00:31:57,350 --> 00:31:58,960
You know, of a good future.
836
00:31:59,004 --> 00:32:00,440
I don't know,
maybe I was wrong.
837
00:32:00,483 --> 00:32:03,530
This is why I don't normally
believe in signs.
838
00:32:03,573 --> 00:32:05,532
Sorry, sorry, I'm
talking your ear off.
839
00:32:05,575 --> 00:32:06,794
[both laugh]
840
00:32:06,837 --> 00:32:08,056
- Okay. Okay.
- Okay, okay. I'm gonna go.
841
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:10,189
Bye.
Bye.
842
00:32:12,365 --> 00:32:13,801
[sighs sharply]
843
00:32:13,844 --> 00:32:16,021
Did you hear all that?
Yeah.
844
00:32:16,064 --> 00:32:20,242
It sounded like she meant it,
but who knows?
845
00:32:20,286 --> 00:32:22,375
Either way, ending
things with her
846
00:32:22,418 --> 00:32:23,985
was the only thing to do.
847
00:32:24,029 --> 00:32:25,813
I mean, even if she's
not trying to kill you,
848
00:32:25,856 --> 00:32:27,858
it's just way too
dangerous, okay?
849
00:32:27,902 --> 00:32:29,599
And with all of the
women out there...
850
00:32:29,643 --> 00:32:31,210
I can probably find one
851
00:32:31,253 --> 00:32:34,996
whose husband
we did not electrocute.
852
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,867
I know.
853
00:32:38,739 --> 00:32:40,349
[sniffing]
854
00:32:40,393 --> 00:32:44,005
Is that a whiff of smoke
wafting away?
855
00:32:44,049 --> 00:32:46,703
Uh, yeah. Yeah, busted.
856
00:32:46,747 --> 00:32:49,054
I went to see
Professor Kingston again today,
857
00:32:49,097 --> 00:32:50,969
and I picked up a little
medicinal inspiration
858
00:32:51,012 --> 00:32:52,274
on the way home.
859
00:32:52,318 --> 00:32:53,493
Seeing your professor
made you want to be
860
00:32:53,536 --> 00:32:55,060
back in college again?[chuckles]
861
00:32:55,103 --> 00:32:57,062
Actually, I am gonna be
back in college again.
862
00:32:57,105 --> 00:32:59,325
Yeah, teaching.
Well, guest lecturing.
863
00:32:59,368 --> 00:33:00,674
Are you sure you know
how to do that?
864
00:33:00,717 --> 00:33:02,110
I'll figure it out,
but thank you
865
00:33:02,154 --> 00:33:03,894
for the vote of confidence.
866
00:33:03,938 --> 00:33:06,027
Yeah, the, uh, the English
department was down a professor,
867
00:33:06,071 --> 00:33:08,464
and Kingston said okay when
I offered to sub in.
868
00:33:08,508 --> 00:33:10,466
But what about your book?
Don't you need to write?
869
00:33:10,510 --> 00:33:11,641
Yeah, I don't-I don't know.
870
00:33:11,685 --> 00:33:12,991
I think this will help.
871
00:33:13,034 --> 00:33:14,905
I mean, being stuck at home
just thinking,
872
00:33:14,949 --> 00:33:17,647
it hasn't been good
for my creativity.
873
00:33:17,691 --> 00:33:19,606
You know, when I was in college,
I was, I was busy.
874
00:33:19,649 --> 00:33:20,999
I was surrounded
by other writers.
875
00:33:21,042 --> 00:33:23,653
I-I never felt
more inspired.
876
00:33:23,697 --> 00:33:24,872
Because you were high.
877
00:33:24,915 --> 00:33:27,483
Very funny.
I-I think I'm just gonna
878
00:33:27,527 --> 00:33:29,877
do this and relax
on the soul-searching.
879
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,835
Sounds like a plan.
880
00:33:31,879 --> 00:33:34,795
I just wish you had
a little more of that medicine
881
00:33:34,838 --> 00:33:36,057
left over to relax me.
882
00:33:36,101 --> 00:33:37,450
What, the caper didn't go well?
883
00:33:37,493 --> 00:33:39,017
The caper didn't go at all.
884
00:33:39,060 --> 00:33:40,975
Cristal mentioned that
it was pretty dangerous,
885
00:33:41,019 --> 00:33:43,456
which was true, although
I would never tell her that.
886
00:33:43,499 --> 00:33:45,719
So you're mad at her
for being right?
887
00:33:45,762 --> 00:33:48,722
No, I'm mad at her whole
Goody Two-shoes attitude.
888
00:33:48,765 --> 00:33:51,638
I don't think she's as pristine
as you think she is.
889
00:33:51,681 --> 00:33:53,335
I mean, Fallon, she put a bounty
on her brother's head
890
00:33:53,379 --> 00:33:55,424
if he ever stepped foot
back in the country.
891
00:33:55,468 --> 00:33:58,079
I mean, if someone messes with
the people that she loves,
892
00:33:58,123 --> 00:33:59,733
the daggers come out.
893
00:34:03,911 --> 00:34:05,173
Thanks.
894
00:34:05,217 --> 00:34:06,783
Great show, Dr. Carrington.
895
00:34:06,827 --> 00:34:08,263
We're so happy
you stepped in.
896
00:34:08,307 --> 00:34:10,265
Well, I'm glad I was here
to help.
897
00:34:10,309 --> 00:34:12,659
Social media loves
the whole mother-son dynamic.
898
00:34:12,702 --> 00:34:15,096
- Oh.
- And we're thinking
899
00:34:15,140 --> 00:34:17,620
you should take a permanent spot
on the show.
900
00:34:17,664 --> 00:34:19,535
That's very kind
of you to offer,
901
00:34:19,579 --> 00:34:20,928
but I'm gonna pass.
902
00:34:20,971 --> 00:34:23,496
My mother will always be
the face of Alexam.
903
00:34:23,539 --> 00:34:25,759
- This was just a one-time thing.
- Oh, that's too bad.
904
00:34:25,802 --> 00:34:27,761
But understood.
905
00:34:27,804 --> 00:34:29,284
You know, you have
a great son here.
906
00:34:30,633 --> 00:34:33,288
AUTOMATED VOICE:
You miserable, lying sack of...
907
00:34:33,332 --> 00:34:34,463
[clears throat]
908
00:34:34,507 --> 00:34:36,857
Thank you.
909
00:34:36,900 --> 00:34:39,468
You're welcome,
but you're not forgiven
910
00:34:39,512 --> 00:34:42,123
for suggesting that
I poisoned you.
911
00:34:42,167 --> 00:34:45,126
Look, I want this relationship
and our partnership to work,
912
00:34:45,170 --> 00:34:48,651
but if you can't get over these
little trust issues you have,
913
00:34:48,695 --> 00:34:51,219
then we're still
in serious trouble.
914
00:34:59,009 --> 00:35:01,099
[fire crackling]
915
00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:04,145
Hello, Ben.
916
00:35:04,189 --> 00:35:07,453
You know, it can't be fun
917
00:35:07,496 --> 00:35:10,325
being the brother
who always loses.
918
00:35:10,369 --> 00:35:12,632
Can I help you
drown your sorrows,
919
00:35:12,675 --> 00:35:14,286
like you drowned our mother?
920
00:35:14,329 --> 00:35:17,506
You should keep that
for yourself. You'll need it.
921
00:35:17,550 --> 00:35:19,421
Let me know when
the cryptic, taunting part
922
00:35:19,465 --> 00:35:20,857
of this conversation's over.
923
00:35:20,901 --> 00:35:23,164
Oh, you want specifics?
Happy to help.
924
00:35:23,208 --> 00:35:26,167
[laughs]
You know, ever since
we were kids,
925
00:35:26,211 --> 00:35:28,952
if there was a shortcut
to take, you took it.
926
00:35:28,996 --> 00:35:31,520
I knew Dom would tell you
about the subpoena.
927
00:35:31,564 --> 00:35:33,653
And I knew you wouldn't
be able to help yourself.
928
00:35:37,091 --> 00:35:38,484
I don't know what
you're talking about.
929
00:35:38,527 --> 00:35:39,615
Oh, I think you do know.
930
00:35:39,659 --> 00:35:41,182
But what you don't know
931
00:35:41,226 --> 00:35:42,792
is that I paid a small fee
932
00:35:42,836 --> 00:35:44,403
to the owner of the store
across the street
933
00:35:44,446 --> 00:35:45,665
from Joel Harris' office.
934
00:35:45,708 --> 00:35:47,188
Buying more comic books?
935
00:35:47,232 --> 00:35:49,408
No, just access to his
security camera footage,
936
00:35:49,451 --> 00:35:51,845
which shows a man
in a black ski mask
937
00:35:51,888 --> 00:35:53,847
breaking into Harris' office
earlier tonight,
938
00:35:53,890 --> 00:35:55,196
on your orders, obviously.
939
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:57,111
Yeah, I'm not following.
940
00:35:57,155 --> 00:35:59,113
And unfortunately for you,
941
00:35:59,157 --> 00:36:01,681
you can't connect any
missing transcripts to me,
942
00:36:01,724 --> 00:36:06,338
or even have them subpoenaed,
since they're missing.
943
00:36:06,381 --> 00:36:09,254
There was never gonna be
a subpoena for the transcripts.
944
00:36:09,297 --> 00:36:11,299
I just needed you
to think there was.
945
00:36:11,343 --> 00:36:13,562
So my lawyer says the judge
will find the timing
946
00:36:13,606 --> 00:36:15,173
of this break-in
highly suspicious,
947
00:36:15,216 --> 00:36:17,740
and now deny your motion
to dismiss the case
948
00:36:17,784 --> 00:36:19,568
based on potential
evidence tampering.
949
00:36:19,612 --> 00:36:22,397
[weak laugh]
950
00:36:22,441 --> 00:36:24,225
You still won't win.
951
00:36:24,269 --> 00:36:26,532
It feels like I already am.
[chuckles]
952
00:36:26,575 --> 00:36:28,055
It's kind of ironic,
don't you think?
953
00:36:28,098 --> 00:36:30,927
You file a motion citing
lack of evidence,
954
00:36:30,971 --> 00:36:32,364
and then give me
the very evidence
955
00:36:32,407 --> 00:36:35,715
I need to move forward, so...
thank you?
956
00:36:35,758 --> 00:36:37,107
Get out of my house.
957
00:36:37,151 --> 00:36:39,022
Oh, you seem upset.
Yeah, okay, well,
958
00:36:39,066 --> 00:36:40,937
I guess it can't be fun
being the brother
959
00:36:40,981 --> 00:36:42,374
who always loses.
960
00:36:43,810 --> 00:36:46,421
See you in court.
961
00:36:46,465 --> 00:36:49,119
There you go.
I got it.
962
00:36:56,562 --> 00:36:59,565
Ah. I've always wanted
to come here.
963
00:36:59,608 --> 00:37:01,393
Well, you mentioned it
the other night,
964
00:37:01,436 --> 00:37:03,786
and I figured
I owed you a real date
965
00:37:03,830 --> 00:37:07,877
to make up for my behavior
- after our not-date.
- Yeah.
966
00:37:07,921 --> 00:37:10,793
I'm glad that
you said yes.
I almost didn't.
967
00:37:10,837 --> 00:37:13,318
I know. That's why I'm glad.[both laugh]
968
00:37:13,361 --> 00:37:15,276
So, uh, what happened?
969
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,278
[sighs]
To be honest?
Yeah.
970
00:37:17,322 --> 00:37:18,714
I got scared.
971
00:37:18,758 --> 00:37:21,239
I figured being in a
relationship with you
972
00:37:21,282 --> 00:37:22,979
might be dangerous.
973
00:37:23,023 --> 00:37:24,938
Aren't all relationships
dangerous?
974
00:37:24,981 --> 00:37:26,244
That's why I decided
to take the leap.
975
00:37:26,287 --> 00:37:28,463
Hmm.
It is not every day
976
00:37:28,507 --> 00:37:30,422
that I meet someone like you.
977
00:37:31,814 --> 00:37:33,425
I'll risk it if you will.
978
00:37:33,468 --> 00:37:35,688
I will.
979
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,478
Mother.
980
00:37:43,522 --> 00:37:45,001
What are you doing
in Kirby's room?
981
00:37:45,045 --> 00:37:46,655
You may not believe this,
but I was on my way
982
00:37:46,699 --> 00:37:48,091
to apologize to you.
983
00:37:48,135 --> 00:37:50,485
By lurking in a room
that doesn't belong to me?
984
00:37:50,529 --> 00:37:52,487
I am not lurking.
You were my next stop.
985
00:37:52,531 --> 00:37:54,620
I spoke with Dex.
986
00:37:54,663 --> 00:37:57,449
He also had a fever
and lost his voice.
987
00:37:57,492 --> 00:37:58,711
We're both fine now,
but apparently
988
00:37:58,754 --> 00:38:00,582
we got some 36-hour bug
989
00:38:00,626 --> 00:38:02,497
during our travels.
990
00:38:02,541 --> 00:38:04,194
You didn't poison me.
991
00:38:04,238 --> 00:38:07,546
It must have been my fever
that made me paranoid.
992
00:38:07,589 --> 00:38:08,895
Oh, the fever.
993
00:38:08,938 --> 00:38:10,679
Okay, fine,
it wasn't just the fever.
994
00:38:10,723 --> 00:38:12,855
My suspicious nature
has always been
995
00:38:12,899 --> 00:38:15,118
a survival tactic, and
sometimes it's hard for me
996
00:38:15,162 --> 00:38:18,557
to shake old habits, so...
I'm sorry.
997
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,559
I understand,
and I accept your apology,
998
00:38:20,602 --> 00:38:23,388
but clearly you're not
breaking old habits
999
00:38:23,431 --> 00:38:25,520
by still sneaking
into Kirby's room.
1000
00:38:25,564 --> 00:38:29,307
I came to bring her
this note.
1001
00:38:29,350 --> 00:38:32,048
I almost lost you because
of the way I treated Kirby.
1002
00:38:32,092 --> 00:38:34,616
I'm not going to lose
Amanda the same way.
1003
00:38:34,660 --> 00:38:38,054
You helped me see that I've been
too harsh on my children,
1004
00:38:38,098 --> 00:38:42,450
so I wrote Kirby
this apology note.
1005
00:38:42,494 --> 00:38:44,757
I can't believe you're actually
gonna apologize to Kirby.
1006
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,455
Well, I don't really mean it,
but if this faux-pology
1007
00:38:47,499 --> 00:38:48,804
helps me get back on track
with Amanda,
1008
00:38:48,848 --> 00:38:50,415
then I am happy to pretend.
1009
00:38:50,458 --> 00:38:52,460
Wow, that's almost
mature of you.
1010
00:38:52,504 --> 00:38:53,548
Mm.
1011
00:38:57,378 --> 00:38:58,945
[exhales sharply]
1012
00:39:08,215 --> 00:39:09,608
Hmm.
1013
00:39:09,651 --> 00:39:13,786
Kirby's diary. Hmm.
1014
00:39:13,829 --> 00:39:16,528
I shouldn't look.
Okay, just a quick peek.
1015
00:39:18,225 --> 00:39:19,792
What is this?
1016
00:39:19,835 --> 00:39:22,098
A list of every Carrington
secret my father ever learned.
1017
00:39:22,142 --> 00:39:25,188
There is enough dirt in here
to take down Blake for good.
1018
00:39:29,454 --> 00:39:31,673
Jackpot.
1019
00:39:37,462 --> 00:39:39,681
Whoa. Retail therapy?
1020
00:39:39,725 --> 00:39:42,597
I find that my anger
is better channeled
1021
00:39:42,641 --> 00:39:44,425
into clothing than combat.
1022
00:39:44,469 --> 00:39:46,688
Which I'm sure you'll have
a smartass comment about.
1023
00:39:46,732 --> 00:39:48,777
Looks like you have
a lot of anger.
1024
00:39:49,909 --> 00:39:51,867
But you don't have to be
angry with me anymore.
1025
00:39:51,911 --> 00:39:53,434
You were right.
1026
00:39:53,478 --> 00:39:55,480
I was acting like
I knew better than you,
1027
00:39:55,523 --> 00:39:57,830
but I was only trying to do
what I thought
1028
00:39:57,873 --> 00:39:59,440
was best for my child.
1029
00:39:59,484 --> 00:40:01,486
And I didn't realize
that you were just trying
1030
00:40:01,529 --> 00:40:02,878
to do the same thing.
1031
00:40:02,922 --> 00:40:04,140
We might have different approaches,
1032
00:40:04,184 --> 00:40:05,620
but we're family.
1033
00:40:05,664 --> 00:40:07,666
Even if we aren't
related by blood.
1034
00:40:07,709 --> 00:40:11,278
I'm a Carrington, and I will
always protect the Carringtons.
1035
00:40:11,321 --> 00:40:13,498
Even the ones not here yet.
1036
00:40:13,541 --> 00:40:16,414
And I'm sorry it took me
so long to see that.
1037
00:40:16,457 --> 00:40:17,850
Thank you for stopping me
1038
00:40:17,893 --> 00:40:19,373
from doing something stupid
last night.
1039
00:40:19,417 --> 00:40:21,157
I'm sure there'll be
plenty of other times.
1040
00:40:21,201 --> 00:40:22,463
Agreed.
1041
00:40:22,507 --> 00:40:23,943
But there is
something else.
1042
00:40:23,986 --> 00:40:26,206
I like that we have
different approaches.
1043
00:40:26,249 --> 00:40:29,862
And now that I see
how much you care,
1044
00:40:29,905 --> 00:40:32,386
would you consider doing
one more thing for my family?
1045
00:40:32,430 --> 00:40:34,432
Of course. What is it?
1046
00:40:34,475 --> 00:40:37,783
Liam and I would be honored
1047
00:40:37,826 --> 00:40:39,480
if you would be
our baby's godmother.
1048
00:40:41,264 --> 00:40:43,876
The baby's madrina?
1049
00:40:43,919 --> 00:40:45,660
Of course.
1050
00:40:45,704 --> 00:40:47,793
The honor would be all mine.
1051
00:40:49,534 --> 00:40:51,274
[banging on door]
1052
00:40:51,318 --> 00:40:54,843
Okay!
You used me to plant
false information with Blake.
1053
00:40:54,887 --> 00:40:56,105
I-I can explain.
1054
00:40:56,149 --> 00:40:58,020
You don't have to explain.
1055
00:40:58,064 --> 00:40:59,587
I understand all too well.
1056
00:40:59,631 --> 00:41:01,284
What, you think
Blake is any better?
1057
00:41:01,328 --> 00:41:04,592
Blake might be a bastard,
but he's honest with me
1058
00:41:04,636 --> 00:41:05,767
about who he is.
1059
00:41:05,811 --> 00:41:08,248
You pretended to want to
1060
00:41:08,291 --> 00:41:09,510
have a relationship with me
1061
00:41:09,554 --> 00:41:10,946
to get back at him.
1062
00:41:10,990 --> 00:41:12,078
I do want a relationship
with you,
1063
00:41:12,121 --> 00:41:13,514
and I want to get back at him.
1064
00:41:13,558 --> 00:41:16,865
Look, Dom, I saw an opportunity
and I took it.
1065
00:41:16,909 --> 00:41:19,259
It doesn't mean we can't get
to know each other as siblings.
1066
00:41:19,302 --> 00:41:21,696
That's exactly what it means.
1067
00:41:21,740 --> 00:41:23,524
I just came here tonight
to tell you
1068
00:41:23,568 --> 00:41:25,483
I never want
to talk to you again.
1069
00:41:25,526 --> 00:41:27,876
Dom, wait.
1070
00:41:34,013 --> 00:41:35,101
Don't worry,
1071
00:41:35,144 --> 00:41:37,320
you don't need her anyway.
1072
00:41:37,364 --> 00:41:40,715
This has all the dirt we need
for you to win your court case.
1073
00:41:42,064 --> 00:41:43,805
Thank you, Anders,
1074
00:41:43,849 --> 00:41:47,592
for your dirty, dirty
little book of secrets.
1075
00:41:47,635 --> 00:41:48,506
