[music continues]
ooh. Mm.
[instrumental music]
♪ on the coast
we're feeling down ♪
♪ trying to find the way out ♪
♪ it only hurts.. ♪
that's the first thing
you're putting up?
Kind of like a declaration.
And you're putting it up
with tape?
Or were you planning
on taking it down
and taking it with you
while you're out job hunting?
[laughs]
okay, look.
'I'm gonna find something soon.'
yes, well, meanwhile,
I will support us
with my superior barista skills.
I promise. Look, I just have to
focus my search.
I have a whole attack plan.
Oh, great 'cause, you know
barista's just my cover
while I build my sound cloud
super stardom.
You are amassing new listeners
everyday.
I am, you know,
pretty soon I'm gonna have
more than just you
in my entourage.
Well, I'm a pretty good
groupie though, right?
You're the best.
Oh! Speaking of "the best.."
oh. It's your idol.
Well, you're my idol but
he is my ultimate role model.
Yes. But can he sing?
Or hit a g7 chord while keeping
time with--
claire, shh.
[clears throat]
you see, I've, uh, I've mentored
a lot of young talent
in this business but I, but
think the enduring question is
can they stick with it?
Because it can be incredibly
cut-throat.
(jamie)
okay, here I go.
- Back to interviews.
- Good luck, jamie.
Your resume is amazing.
I mean, ivy league.
Phi beta kappa.
Captain of lacrosse team.
And the debate team.
I would love the opportunity
to work for this company.
My degree in management has
given me--
[sighs]
I'm sorry
we're just looking for more
experienced candidates.
I understand.
But I was hoping
to gain experience
by working with this company.
I'm willing to start wherever I
need to in order to--
I'm really sorry.
But we can't bring in
any unexperienced candidates.
How do I get experience
if I can't get a job?
I'm really sorry.
Once your resume's stronger.
Come back when you have
more experience.
It's a competitive market.
Next.
[instrumental music]
no, I mean, it's like I have
a sticker on my forehead
that says zero experience.
Have you ever considered joining
the police force with your aim?
[chuckles]
- no, that's pretty good.
- Eh..
And don't worry,
something will come along.
Ooh.
- Ah!
- Hm.
- All three on the board.
- Yay.
I'll remind you of that
when rent's due
when I can't pay my half.
Hey, you know
who got the last job
I applied for
that I was perfect for?
- The guy's nephew.
- The guy's nephew.
I mean, it just comes down
to experience and who you know
and I come short
in both categories.
- What are you gonna do?
- Find a temp job.
Until corporate america realizes
they're missing
their next biggest mogul.
[instrumental music]
[elevator bell dings]
[indistinct chatter]
mr. Page, with page industries
posting record profits
this quarter.
How would you respond
to the public's outcry
for local businesses
to aid in their need?
'do you have
any plans to reinvest'
'your funds into the community?'
(walton on tv)
'well, you see, that's why
we have a charity'
we take ten percent
of, of all the proceeds
we make from page industries
'and we devote it
to familial charities in need.'
as a matter of fact,
this is our
latest and greatest project
right over here.
He's amazing.
Jamie kassman?
Zack becker? Whoa.
I was wondering
when I saw the name.
Hoping actually.
- Right this way.
- Okay.
So this is where you landed
after vanderton.
I took a travel year
and then here, yeah.
I wasn't surprised to hear
you became
senior debate team captain
after I left.
Someone had to uphold
your high standard.
You were untouchable.
So I reviewed your resume
very impressive.
Thank you.
Unfortunately
jobs are few and far
between these days
even with a college diploma
but I think
I might have something
that's perfect for you.
In management?
Actually, it's, um
it's a nanny job.
[sighs]
are you kidding me?
This nanny job
will be different.
It's our top client.
It's a very big deal.
The client is particular about
their employee's background.
Yours hits hard,
it's a perfect match.
You don't even know
if I like kids.
Well, do you like kids?
Sure.
Most.
Jamie, look, I get it, okay?
Trust me, I have been exactly
where you are.
But you gotta get creative
I mean, you need
to pay your rent, right?
It's not a straight line
anymore.
And the money's really good.
- Ah.
- Oh.
Fill out these forms
and then we'll talk.
Oh. Okay, ndas,
background checks.
What, are you gonna
scan my retina?
All of this for a temp job?
A temp nanny job?
Just fill out the forms, okay?
And we'll be in touch.
Okay.
And the most important question
is..
Yes?
What are you doing
Saturday night?
[instrumental music]
(jamie)
'park out back
by the guest house.'
[instrumental music]
she's here, she's here.
Hold up.
Come this way.
You must be the new girl.
I'm annette and those monsters
are gwyneth and madison.
- And they're all yours.
- Thank you.
Okay.
Which one of you is gwenny?
I'm gwenny, I'm gwenny.
Okay, if you show me
around the house
and tell me everything
about yourself
like your favorite animal
and your favorite color
then maybe, just maybe
I'll tell you each a secret.
[indistinct chatter]
come on, come on.
- Come on.
- Jamie, come on.
- Jamie, come on.
- Okay.
Come on.
Look at my slippers.
Those are my favorite slippers.
Look at your face in that one..
- My face is being covered.
- Yeah.
Girls, girls, is, is that..
Is that daddy?
- Duh. Why?
- Yeah.
...Close tonight at midnight.
Yeah. Hold on a second.
Hi.
[instrumental music]
then you just need
to make it happen.
- 'daddy, you're home.'
- 'daddy!'
'hi, guys, how you doing?'
I can't, I can't right now.
I'll meet nanny jamie
in just a second.
Hey, guys,
whoever catches me first
gets a piggyback ride!
- Thank you.
- Mine after madison's.
[laughing]
I wanna go next. Okay?
[instrumental music]
alright.
Sweet dreams.
Jamie?
What is it, sweetie?
You're going to stay, right?
Of course I am.
Why?
Nana mara left
and never said goodbye.
I miss her.
Nanny jamie isn't going
anywhere, okay?
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
- Oh, hi.
- Um..
- I'm so sorry.
- Oh, hi, mr. Page..
Hi. No, call me walt,
you must be jamie.
Oh, sorry, walt.
Oh, hey, listen,
I really wanna thank you
for the job that
you're doing with the girls.
- Fantastic.
- Oh, thanks.
It's nothing, really.
I find that piggyback rides
and tag
are the ultimate draw
with the under-eight crowd.
You're right.
[sighs]
okay, I-I'm gonna go.
Okay, look, if you don't have
anything going on
or if you don't have
any plans, why don't you stay?
I'd love to get better
acquainted.
- Really?
- Uh, yeah.
I have nowhere to go.
- I mean, I, I would love to.
- Fantastic.
Well, why don't you have a seat
by the fireplace?
I'm gonna change real quick
and be down in a few minutes.
- Okay.
- Alright.
Great. I'll see you in a minute.
So..
What do you do when you're not
wrangling wild children?
Well, I plan on taking
my ivy league mba.
Getting a job in management
working my way up
by working harder
and being smarter
than anyone else.
Oh, yeah?
And then I'll take
my first vacation
after I make the forbes
under 25 list.
Wow.
Huh, well, it's no coincidence
that you're working for me then.
[chuckles]
mm.
I actually had no idea
until I saw you
in your hallway.
Really?
Had I known, I certainly
would have dressed better.
I think you look great.
♪ don't you ever tell me ♪
♪ don't you let me ♪
♪ I rise up and then I ♪
♪ then I fall down again ♪
that forbes "under 25 list"
that is, uh,
that's pretty ambitious.
Yeah, well,
I set a high bar for myself.
Hm.
It is an impressive list though.
- It is.
- You would know.
Yeah. Twice under forty.
Here's to you beating it.

[instrumental music]
[car door opens]
claire!
Claire! Claire! Claire!
- Claire! Claire! Claire!
- What?
- Walton page is my boss!
- What?
No. I'm the nanny to his kids!
They were at the house today.
You know, we had a chat,
he made me a drink.
And he said he was
impressed by me!
What?
Walton page is my boss.
I get to work for my hero.
- I'm so happy for you.
- Oh, my god.
♪ ooh ♪
[laughing]
- I'm gonna get you.
- I got you.
[laughing]
[indistinct chatter]
I'm here to see mara.
She's not answering her phone.
- She's not in her apartment.
- I'm sorry, I don't know..
He's done something to her.
This is private property.
You need to leave.
I'm not leaving till I find out
what he did to my sister.
Listen, I'm gonna
call the police
if you don't go right now.
Just look. Look, please.
I'm sorry. I don't know her.
That's nanny mara!
- Where did she go?
- You need to go right now.
Okay, you need to go
or I'm calling the police.
Get the girls inside the house,
please.
Where's my sister?
Where'd she go?
- 'inside the house.'
- okay. Yeah.
Where's my sister?
I know you did something to her.
I should ask you the same thing.
- I know you did something.
- Get back.
She disappeared.
She broke our contract.
We can sue her. Buck.
Mara talked about you.
Tell me where she is!
I'll tell you this.
You come near me or my family
again, I'll have you killed.
Do you understand me?
[grunting]
get rid of him.
[instrumental music]
tell me where she is!
Get rid of him.
[instrumental music]
[operatic music]
- hey, dad.
- Hi, daddy.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, mr. Page.
Hey, oh, hey, jamie.
- Hi. Have you got a sec?
- Yes?
Uh, sure.
Uh, hey, guys.
Start without me.
I'll be there in five minutes.
- 'okay.'
- 'okay.'
oh, is everything okay?
With that creepy guy?
Oh, yeah. No. Don't worry about
that guy. He's nobody.
The longer you're with me,
you'll find that I've got
more than my fair share
of enemies.
But that's why I
keep buck around.
He's a valuable deterrent.
Actually, the reason why I
wanted to you
is because
I have a business question.
I was figuring that maybe
we could stretch
that resume of yours a bit,
what do you say?
Wanna give it a shot?
Seriously?
- Seriously.
- Yes!
Well, great, get over here.
- Alright.
- Alright.
So there is this company
called allister.
Just filed for bankruptcy.
You know it?
Yes, I'm familiar.
Foreign dealings, right?
Yeah. Well, they were
till about a week ago.
So, you're gonna buy it?
Oh, I already did that.
Right before they declared.
For ten cents on the dollar.
[chuckles]
I didn't know
they were in trouble.
Yeah, well,
technically they weren't.
But I saw their projections
and I swooped in
and made them an offer
that they couldn't refuse.
You see, jamie,
in our line of work
we don't wait for opportunities
to present itself
we create them
and then we seize them.
Always be one step ahead.
Ah, that is right.
Always be one step ahead.
So, my question to you is..
'have a seat.'
- my question to you is..
- Oh.
Now what?
Um..
Well, depending on their
standing holdings
you could hold on to it
collect off the dividends
and interest
but depending
on their financials
it might be more cost effective
to divest
break up all their holdings
and sell it outright
for a profit.
Of course.
Of course.
Then what?
Sell.
Well, you know what?
You are absolutely right.
Sell is the right call.
I put a seller order in
first thing this morning.
- That's very good.
- Thank you.
You're very welcome.
- 'come on, nanny jamie!'
- uh, that is definitely my cue.
Yeah, indeed.
Thank you
for the business lesson.
'any time.'
jamie.
You're very impressive.
That was very impressive.
'very bright future
ahead of you.'
- thanks.
- 'you're welcome.'
[seagulls squawking]
you know, I, I can't believe
zack becker asked me out.
I can't believe jamie kassman
said yes.
You know, I used to think
you were really cute in college.
Too bad you aged so poorly.
Right. Yeah.
You look the same.
But more.
More..
More you.
Which is amazing.
Here's to reunions.
And possibilities.
♪ baby I don't know why ♪
[instrumental music]
♪ when I said I love you ♪
♪ I even made you cry ♪
- 'okay.'
- 'alright.'
I go first.
- Okay.
- Yes!
- Your turn.
- Alright.
- Great job, madison.
- My turn.
- 'race you to the next hole.'
- okay.
You know, you have not stopped
smiling, you know that, right?
[laughs]
I just, I like him so much.
You guys always had a spark.
I'm happy for you.
You know, new job, new guy
you're kind of rocking
this adult thing right now.
[sighs]
I'm..
I'm not exactly rocking
the job part.
There's potential definitely
but I still can't figure out
walton page.
Have you met his wife yet?
Just in passing.
She's never there.
She's always at yoga
or some charity event.
- She seems..
- What?
Unhappy.
Which is crazy.
Jamie, jamie,
look at me.
I mean, she's got great kids.
Alright, let's see what you got.
- Ha, ha, ha.
- Oh, oh, oh.
So close.
(gwenny)
'wait, when we get inside we
should play the floor is lava.'
(madison)
'the floor is lava? That's like
one of my favorite games.'
- 'I'm gonna win.'
- 'I'm gonna win.'
hear me out.
(both)
'you're gonna win.'
listen to me.
Wait!
[laughing]
- listen!
- Alright, girls!
- Who wants a snack?
- We do.
Alright, go on in.
But no junk food though.
'real food.'
[clamoring]
- 'stay in the front yard.'
- okay, nanny jamie.
- 'mom!'
- just a minute, honey.
- I just..
- Just a minute, baby.
[indistinct chatter]
- I don't understand.
- Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
[dramatic music]
uh, I-I'm sorry, I didn't..
No. You..
Yeah, you're fine.
We were, uh, just having
a little conversation.
Okay.
Okay, sleepy..
[dramatic music]
- huh!
- 'that's our room.'
- you lost?
- Oh, no. I, um..
I just..
My wife and I, it's, uh..
It's been a little rough.
Hey, you want a beer?
Yeah.
Great. Come on.
Mm.
My marriage is like a..
...Never-ending
performance art piece.
- That sounds rough.
- Oh, it's a mess.
I'm sorry.
You know, you remind me
of sheryl actually.
When I first met her.
Yeah.
She is ambitious, determined
smart beyond your years.
All engaging qualities.
- Thank you, mr. Page.
- Of course.
I mean, it's so nice being
around this youthful energy.
You know, I mean, it's so,
it's so light.
Well, I could say the same thing
about being here.
You know, around you.
Well, you could say we have
a symbiotic relationship
don't we?
[laughs]
well, yeah, I don't really
see how it's even.
You have all this experience
and I'm just..
Intoxicating.
♪ the sun is shining brightly ♪
♪ sure is gonna rain ♪
[instrumental music]
I'm sorry.
I have to go.
He actually said
that you were intoxicating?
Mm-hm. Oh.
Gosh, and, and I just..
I kept kissing him until I..
I just feel like such a fool.
You know, I felt, like
he actually believed
that I was smart.
He was just grooming me.
He was testing me.
He was testing
my boundaries.
And I,
I didn't even stop him.
No, he was your idol.
And you're fresh out of college.
This is on him.
I just want to learn from him
and all he wanted was--
he's a creep.
[dramatic music]
I'm so disappointed.
What are you gonna do?
Well, part of me just wants to
crawl up into a hole
and forget about all this, but..
Oh. I know this look.
I like this look.
Walton page says
"opportunity is something
you create.
Not something you sit back
and passively wait for.."
so, you're gonna..
I'm gonna make it work.
I mean, I can't afford to walk.
So, for now, I'll forgive
but I won't forget.
I won't let him get in my head
or touch me ever again.
You know, I'm gonna
beat him at his own game.
I'm gonna get my power back.
You first.
- Almost
- so close.
- Oh.
- Hi, girls.
- Whoa!
- Mom, you're home.
- Mwah.
- I missed you.
I missed you.
Oh, you must be jamie,
the amazing nanny.
- She really is.
- She's so good.
- I'm sheryl.
- Mrs. Page.
It's nice to finally meet you.
Pleasure's mine.
Well, hello, ladies.
- Hi, dad, come play with us.
- Hi.
Hi, guys, I can't.
I can't, I can't right now
but maybe later, okay?
Hi.
(annette)
'dinner in your office, sir.'
yes, that'll be great.
Thank you, annette.
Uh, mrs. Page,
can I ask you a question?
Sure.
The girls were looking
for their soccer stuff
I was wondering if I could
check in the garage for it?
Of course.
Come on, girls, let's go
try on your new pair of clothes.
- Whose bag is whose?
- Go, go, go.
This is mine.
Annette, can I have a moment,
please?
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Ms. Kassman.
Mr. Page.
Do we have a problem?
No, we do not.
But I do have boundaries,
mr. Page.
Understood.
Do we have an understanding?
We have an understanding.
[car alarm beeps]
"jamie, so you and I
will always be in sync.
"to a great future together.
Respectfully, w.P."
[chuckles]
okay.
Hm.
So, not a creep?
No. I mean, not a creep.
I actually, uh,
I feel kinda bad for him.
He seems sort of lost.
Walton page?
Well, he's just a man
in a complicated marriage.
He's lonely.
I think that's it, claire.
I think he's just lonely.
Well, he better not
touch my best friend.
Oh, he won't.
We have an understanding.
[crickets chirping]
[instrumental music]
[choking]
jamie!
Are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I..
I've got it,
I've got it under control.
I'm okay.
[sighs]
[laughing]
girls, it's time
for your piano lesson.
I can get them ready, annette.
It's fine. I got it.
Hey, girls.
Girls, tell ms. Klein
to teach you
a little rock and roll
this week.
Daddy!
We're only on scales
on "twinkle twinkle."
you serious?
Alright, rock and roll
next week then. Beat it.
- Right.
- Okay.
Have a good time, ladies.
- Alright.
- Okay.
Hey, jamie, can I have a word
with you for a sec?
- I really should go.
- Just take a minute.
[instrumental music]
have a seat.
[walton laughs]
okay.
Is that better?
- Uh..
- No? More? More?
I mean, I can go put it
in the pool house
if you want me to.
Hm? Ha, ha. Sit down.
Okay.
I just wanna check in with you.
I would imagine that you've got
your, uh
your resume floating around
a few places?
What do you mean?
Well, as much as I'd like to
have you here
with the girls forever.
I'd imagine that you're looking
for a place to stretch
that big bad business brain
of yours.
- I am.
- 'yeah?'
'how's that goin'?'
truthfully, discouraging.
Yeah? You know what, I can, uh,
I can make some calls.
- Oh, really?
- You kidding me? Of course.
I'm tired of winning
all these accolades and awards
like they actually have some
real competition for a change.
Well, thank you, mr. Page.
Yeah. Of course,
here, let me.
Oh, uh, I am, uh, I'm fine.
- You don't have to.
- Nah, you're getting burnt.
Please, I do this
with all my girls.
- All your girls?
- Mm-hm.
Including sheryl?
- Your wife?
- Yes.
Including sheryl, my wife.
As we both know, she's, uh,
pretty sustainable these days.
- Mr. Page!
- I'm sorry.
Did I cross the line?
Look, knee-jerk reaction.
You know what?
I saw you were getting burned.
I figured I'd help you out.
You know, I'm closing
that allister deal tomorrow.
I invite you to come
sit in on the call.
What do you say?
See you tomorrow.
Hey.
You good?
Yeah. Why?
I don't know. You seem..
What?
Off.
Frustrated. Sad?
Come on, jamie.
You're my best friend.
Just spill.
Look, there's nothing to say.
Walton has influence everywhere.
And a letter of recommendation
from him
would mean everything to me.
Well, it's not worth
your mental anguish.
It's not like
he crossed a line.
Really?
What's that supposed to mean?
I don't understand
what you're doing.
I'm trying to survive, claire.
So what,
you're just gonna hang around
until he does cross the line?
You're not that naive, jamie.
I mean, this doesn't sound
like you. You're a warrior.
No, I'm just trying
to navigate this, claire.
Look, I can try to tough it out
but I'm so outside
of my comfort zone right now
and I really just need
some support.

keep saying that?

Look, zack, I really like you,
but, uh..
- Work has just been--
- I understand.
Uh, mr. Page is, uh..
Did he give you this?
Uh, at the time,
I thought it was
just a token of encouragement,
but..
But it was more.
Yeah.
You know, mr. Page, he..
Hey, look, I know
that you signed an nda
and I don't wanna
compromise you.
But if it helps, we can talk
about it
just refer to your feelings
and generalities, okay?
So, you can give me advice.
As my boyfriend, right?
Sure..
And as far as the watch goes
feel free
to graciously return it
along with any other gift
that makes you feel..
...Inappropriate.
[laughs]
yeah. Okay.
That's a very good idea.
So, I'm your boyfriend, huh?
Well..
Okay, well, as my girlfriend
I think it's time we get some
coffee to cheer you up.
[dramatic music]
[instrumental music]
[door opens]
morning, everyone!
Morning, jamie.
Too chunky.
Oi. What's wrong?
Oatmeal.
Gross
oatmeal?
I love oatmeal.
- Here you go.
- Breakfast is served.
Annette,
do you have any left over?
No. I just gave the last of it
to the girls.
It's organic
and it's very good for them.
Fine. Whatever. Ugh.
I really love organic oatmeal.
Please! She really, really,
really wants it.
- She's so hungry.
- 'fine.'
girls, give jamie your oatmeal,
and I'll make you some eggs.
Mm.
Get it away.
No, no.
And I'm not blind, ms. Kassman.
I see everything.
Lucky for you,
those girls are adorable
and you are due in the office..
Thank you, annette!
[mouths]
go.
(man on phone)
'so, the other issue was
the foreign sales contract..'
yeah, well,
I put slattery on that
so it should be taken care
by this evening.
(man on phone)
'the other point
we wanted to discuss'
'was moving the sale up to this
month instead of January.'
yeah, I mean, I really don't see
that being an issue
'as long as the comps
remain the same..'
actually, uh, hold on one second
I need to consult with my,
uh, my business associate.
(man on phone)
'who's that, jacobs?'
actually, no, gentleman,
I'd like to introduce you
to my latest discovery
ms. Jamie kassman.
(man on phone)
'pleasure, ms. Kassman.'
hello, gentlemen.
If mr. Page assumes ownership
within the fiscal year
then it's assumed
he would also be inheriting
your size-able debt
to the irs, correct?
(man on phone)
'correct.'
whereas, if he takes ownership
after the first of the year
then it would be your contract
to settle that debt, correct?
Gentlemen?
I mean, if you'd like
to terminate this deal
I'm sure that we won't have
a problem finding another buyer.
(man on phone)
'no. No.'
- 'we're fine to proceed.'
- lovely.
(man on phone)
'I'll get the final agreements
to jacobs.'
okay, sounds like a plan.
Ms. Kassman,
is there anything else
you'd like to add?
Well, it's been a pleasure
doing business with you.
[chuckles]
indeed it has.
Fellas, we will, uh,
we will send these
contracts over to you asap.
Thank you so much.
Oh, my gosh.
That was amazing.
You were amazing.
That was incredible.
- It was incredible.
- Oh.
- 'walton!'
- what?
You really crossed the line.
I..
[dramatic music]
oh, my god, jamie,
what are you..
Are you okay?
Yes, no, no,
I, I need to give my notice..
Honey, just a minute,
wait a second. Stop.
Annette?
Annette!
Jamie has some things
to take care of.
Can you cover the girls
for today?
Yes, mrs. Page.
I can handle it.
Okay. Now listen..
...Why don't you
take a girl's day.
Collect yourself and come back
fresh tomorrow. Okay?
I'll see you tomorrow.
Um, but, mrs. Page..
(sheryl)
'I'll see you tomorrow.'
[phone ringing]
(jamie)
'zack, it's jamie.'
'something really weird
happened at work today.'
[instrumental music]
oh. Hey, stranger.
Hello.
Oh, sorry about that.
Um, well, I went in
and killed it on
this conference call
I was having one of the greatest
moments of my life and then..
I'm sensing a but coming..
Well, and then
walton grabbed me,
kissed me and..
What? Are you okay?
I mean, what, what did you do?
Well, no, I, I got the hell
out of there
but on the way out,
I ran into sheryl
of all people,
who just grabbed my hands
told me to collect myself
and just come back tomorrow.
You didn't tell her?
I wanted to but she just
steam rolled past the moment.
It's like she was very versed
in having these kinds
of pep talks.
Anyway, I'm just trying to
decode this contract I signed.
Hey, can't zack help?
I mean, didn't he make you
sign this in the first place?
He didn't make me sign it.
It was just his job
to give it to me.
And I mean, if I talk to anyone
about walton, the family
or the company..
I'm gonna spend
the rest of my life in court.
- To anyone, or just--
- pretty much anyone.
Lawyers, press,
associates of the company.
This sucks.
I did make a list
of pros and cons.
Yeah?
What's it telling you to do?
You know, find that loophole
find a way to win.
Well, you do have someone
on the inside
who really seems to like you.
Well, walton page is officially
my least favorite person.
I'm so sorry
getting you involved.
I don't care if he is the most
powerful man on the planet.
He cannot get away with this.
Except..
Except what?
It looks like he can.
I mean, I'm not a lawyer,
but these are pretty ironclad.
I just want my life back.
[glass shatters]
are you okay?
[instrumental music]
[keys clacking]
[beeps]
[dramatic music]
[chuckles]
[instrumental music]
hi.
Uh, can I have a word with you?
Yeah, of course.
Please, come in.
I'm glad that you came back.
I, uh..
I wasn't sure that you would
after happened yesterday.
Mr. Page..
We should talk.
We should.
Have a seat.
So..
...What's the proposal?
[chuckles]
how did you--
well, I realized yesterday
after I kissed you
that I crossed the line.
And I knew that
there would be repercussions.
So it won't surprise you to know
that I want a new job.
With a sizable raise.
I want an executive position
at the company.
I'm aiming for operations chief
but I understand that might
ruffle a few feathers
so I'd be willing
to accept operations assistant.
Okay. A demand
as well as a compromise.
It's, uh, it's pretty slick.
Well-played.
I've considered this thoroughly.
And if I don't wanna negotiate?
First, I go to sheryl
then your most
conservative shareholders
and then I find
a very visible lawyer.
One that loves press.
[chuckles]
wow.
You have thought
this through, haven't you?
Alright, well..
Good for you.
You've come to play. Cheers.
So..
...Is this negotiating
coming from you and you alone?
Of course.
Scout's honor?
I never was a scout.
Okay, well, I assume that you'd
be interested in the numbers.
[dramatic music]
how does this number sound?
[laughs]
whoa. Wha..
- 'seriously?'
- seriously.
You've done nothing
but impress me
I would be an idiot not
to bring you on to my company.
So what do you say?
Um..
- You have a deal.
- Have a deal.
[laughs]
cheers.
Hm.
Negotiating can be fun.
And to show you my gratitude
I have a little something
for you.
Oh.
[instrumental music]
[chuckles]
this is beautiful.
It's tradition.
I surrender.
You win.
Congratulations.
Okay.
Feel good?
[sighs]
yeah.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Um, okay, so I will finish
my two weeks
give you time
to find a replacement
uh, and then, you can, you can
prepare for my..
- My new..
- Your new position?
Uh, yes.
- You okay?
- Uh..
Yeah, sorry, I just..
Um..
Jamie?
[dramatic music]
[grunting]
- oh!
- Whoa, hey!
You're burning. You're high.
Uh, come on.
Come, come on. Come on.
Let go.
Ah ah ah.
No, no, no.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Come on, come on, come on.
- Don't.
- Come on.
Come on.
Come on. Come on.
You, come on.
[grunting]
[dramatic music]
- look, officer dallas, I--
- no, you look, ms. Kassman.
(officer dallas)
even if we test your blood,
there's no proof
mr. Page allegedly drugged you.
(jamie)
wait a minute, is that a
picture of you and mr. Page?
(officer dallas)
mr. Page is a fine
upstanding citizen.
And I don't know you.
Good day, ms. Kassman.
Officer dallas took a report.
Well, it'll probably get lost.
I mean, he kept using the word
allegedly with me.
I mean, how do you allegedly
drug someone?
You don't. So let's go to
a hospital and get a blood test.
What's the point?
It won't do anything.
Walton will just say
someone else drugged me.
Oh but this is actually
the best part.
So I'm waiting to fill out
my paperwork
I look up at the wall
with all the plaques
awards and pictures
and guess whose there
right front and center?
- Walton page?
- Yep.
Holding a big check, shaking
the hand of the chief of police.
Fifty thousand dollars
to the police pension fund.
[instrumental music]
[grunting]
ah, you good?
Uh, uh, hey.
[panting]
[birds chirping]
so, how are you feeling?
[sighs]
like I blew up my life
and got hit by a bus.
What can I do?
I don't know,
maybe this is what he meant
when he said
everything has a price.
God, I just never wanna
see that face again.
Okay, let's focus on a solution,
not the problem.
So what are you gonna do next?
I don't know,
he's the walton page
and I'm me so..
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Okay, come on. Come on.
You're a fighter.
You can think of something.
Just think of someone
who will believe you,
and has leverage.
Um..
Okay, yeah. Uh..
Sheryl.
She's really hard to read
but maybe she'll hear me out.
I know she knows.
[dramatic music]
- sheryl!
- Jamie.
W-where are the girls?
Are they okay?
Ah, they're fine. You obviously
haven't spoken to your husband.
[scoffs]
I rarely speak to my husband.
Uh-oh.
What now?
Mr. Page..
He tried to..
- I don't know..
- Le-let's get some coffee.
I'll be right back.
Come on.
[sheryl sighs]
'and after cornell'
I was on my way to be running
a fortune 500 company.
I got my mba at london business
school to seal the deal.
[sighs]
and then, I met walton.
He was charismatic and funny.
And I fell for him.
But then suddenly my dreams
of becoming a business magnate
were replaced
by supporting his dreams.
Well, do you have any regrets?
Every day.
- Except for the girls.
- Right.
I was seduced
figuratively and literally.
First by him,
but then by the prospect
of the life he promised.
Every day, we felt
less like a couple
and more like a..
[dramatic music]
...Partnership.
And then one day I realized
the love was gone.
Why?
You could just leave, right?
Walton made it very clear
that if I do leave
it will be without the girls.
Well, mothers don't
lose their kids.
Yeah, well
this is mr. Walton page
we're talking about
this is not an option.
But I have to do something.
Cleary, he's threatened by you
which is not a place
you want to be.
Trust me.
I've been there.
Well, what are you saying?
Just give up?
Madison and gwenny
are the best things in my life.
And I will never leave them.
Can you help me at least?
You're not hearing me.
If I go against walton,
he will take my girls from me.
You really have forgotten
how to fight. Haven't you?
Well, I haven't.
I almost died, sheryl.
Your husband almost killed me.
I will not give up.
I refuse to let him
take my life away.
I won't become another you.
Excuse me.
[instrumental music]
claire?
Claire,
you can't just leave the door..
Claire?
Claire?
Is anybody here?
[instrumental music]
this isn't funny.
Claire, are you back there?
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music]
[line ringing]
(sheryl on phone)
'you've got sheryl.
'leave a message.'
sheryl?
It's, it's jamie, jamie kassman.
My apartment's been ransacked.
You can probably guess by who.
Um, what's, what's next?
Oh, my god.
Jamie, I am so sorry
I wasn't here.
They wouldn't let me leave.
No, I, he's everywhere.
Not actually, but my brain
is playing tricks on me.
And I, I'm so paranoid.
Okay, listen,
I called a pre-law pal of mine
and he did some digging
and it turns out page
has had some other
harassment complaints
against him.
Yeah, that doesn't
surprise me at all.
Apparently, the last one
was someone named mara jackson.
Wait, I-I, um, uh,
I know that name.
Her brother came
to look for her. Ryan.
Oh, gosh,
I-I feel like such an idiot.
I should have seen this before.
But I was so caught up
in getting ahead
and trying to learn from him.
Stop.
There's no way you could have
seen this coming.
Okay, look,
there are six ryan jacksons.
Which one is he?
- You're a genius.
- Hm.
- It's this one.
- Okay.
- What are you doing?
- Direct messaging him on insta.
It'll be the fastest.
And in the meantime
we can find the others.
The others?
Yes. This is a list
of all of his other nannies.
Oh, jeez, that's a lot.
Yeah, and they all have profiles
like yours.
Recent business grads
and top of their
ivy league class.
It looks like walton page
has a type.
She loved working
for that lunatic.
I told her she was being
obsessive
and she reminded me
that she signed an nda
and shouldn't be talking to me
about it anyway.
- What happened?
- We got into a huge fight.
Page came between us.
What,
did he do something to her?
Honestly, I don't know.
I only saw her a few times
after that
but she was moody
and refused to talk about him.
'she looked stressed out.'
scared even.
Then she disappeared.
All I got is this.
And they found
this red trampled-on scarf
in the stairwell at his office
nothing on social media.
Her landlord said
she hadn't been home in weeks.
I had to clear out her stuff.
Mara was at top of her class.
She was going places.
I'm sure she's okay.
I don't know what to do.
The cops don't believe me.
They won't even look into it.
The same thing happened
to jamie.
And now page has a restraining
order out against me.
I can't get near him.
[phone buzzes]
maybe I can.
Sheryl just texted me back.
Maybe she is
finally going to help.
[instrumental music]
uh, I was expecting--
oh, my wife,
she's, she's indisposed
at the moment unfortunately.
I wanna leave.
I understand.
Look, I'd like to resolve this
as, as quickly as possible.
Why don't you come on in?
Really, it's early,
kids are up.
We're hanging out.
Please, come on in.
Drink?
No?
[sighs]
so..
What do we need to do
to make our little
misunderstanding disappear?
- Excuse me?
- Well, that little thing.
That happened between you and I.
Just give me a number,
any number.
You drugged me.
Hm.
Yeah. Says you.
Or I could say that
you had a little too much
to drink
and then when I tried
to help you
you assaulted me.
There's no one else here,
mr. Page
you can stop lying.
I'm not lying.
You're lying.
That's the point.
What are you gonna do?
I'm gonna make sure
you stop victimizing women.
[chuckles]
victimizing women.
Okay. Well, how are you
gonna do that?
I've got proof.
There are others.
The whole nanny merger thing
that you're working on.
- That's cute.
- I'm just getting started.
You really think that I'm gonna
let you take me down?
I've covered all of my bases.
You should quit
while you're ahead.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means that you're gonna lose.
It means that you have no one.
I've got ryan, mara's brother.
Ryan, you mean that guy
that trespassed on my property?
That crazy guy?
His thief of a sister.
Yeah. There's a warrant out
for her arrest.
I have your own wife--
who delivered you right here
to me.
See, jamie..
..You have no power.
- 'what do you got?'
- I have the truth.
Oh, really? I got
a version of the truth too?
Here, check it out,
these contracts that you signed
to bankrupt you
and your entire family
for the rest of your life.
So we can either go that route
or you could graciously accept
the severance package
that I'm offering you
and you could walk out of here
with more money
than you have ever had
your entire life.
If I can be bought, then where
will I even be in 20 years?
You know what, everybody's
got their price, ask my wife.
- I'm done with you.
- Goodbye, mr. Page.
[gasps]
you're not going anywhere.
Understand?
(gwenny)
'daddy?'
[grunts]
- hi, sweetheart.
- I can't sleep.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I need you
to go back in the house. Okay?
I'll be up in a few minutes.
I'll tuck you in.
She promised to read
the blue bunny story.
Okay, listen, baby,
you know what
nanny jamie and I are talking,
I need you to go to bed--
how about I read you the story?
Honey, I need you to go to bed.
- What did I just say?
- She said that--
- what did I just say?
- She said--
- what did I tell you?
- I promised her.
I promised her
I'd read her a story.
Come on.
[gwenny sobs]
[dramatic music]
alright. Sleep tight.
[dramatic music]
(walton)
I'm gonna kill you.
[dramatic music]
jamie.
Nanny jamie.
[panting]
damn it, I'm blocked.
[sighs]
- here?
- 'yes.'
go.
[car door closes]
hey, jamie.
I've talked to the women
but they all signed ndas
no one will talk.
I'm just leaving
the construction site now.
Ryan?
I need to talk to you.
Hey, hey, hey.
Look, look.
I need to talk to you.
I, I understand why you wouldn't
trust me
but your sister, I made a lot
of mistakes with her as well.
Listen, I know where she is,
I can take you there.
[dramatic music]
[indistinct chatter]
[grunts]
[dramatic music]
[grunting]
I feel like a steak.
Ryan. I got your message.
Have you had a chance
to talk to linda yet?
Nothing but dead ends
for me and claire
but we're not giving up.
Call me.
(man on tv)
'right, right, right.'
'and so what's your best advice'
'for young kids today?'
(walton on tv)
'well, I think
the major problem today'
is that everyone
keeps lowering the bar.
I mean, I don't understand
when we started
just being okay with mediocrity?
I mean, you have to reach,
you have to strive
you gotta, you gotta
grab hold of that brass ring
'you never let it go.'
zack, I need a new job.
I know, but, the thing is, we--
look, if it's about
being overqualified
I told you
I am fine starting anywhere.
Jamie, it's not that.
Your file has been flagged.
What's that supposed to mean?
On the record?
There have been..
...Issues
in your previous placements.
Issues, they go by
the name of walton page?
I'm not at liberty to say.
You're not at liberty to say?
What, what can you tell me?
You don't understand
what it's like
for me to be over there.
This morning,
I had to get my car back
and I was completely
freaked out.
I could lose my job.
Zack, it's me.
Okay?
Please. This, this is my life.
Walton page
has specifically stated
he will not use our company
if we employ you
in our services.
Jamie, wait..
[sighs]
[lock clicks]
I'm sorry, can I help you?
Yeah, you can.
[grunts]
he's blackballing me!
He doesn't own the entire town.
(jamie)
'yes. He does.'
no one in town will touch me.
Have you heard anything
from ryan?
I sent him a text
and left him a message but..
...Nothing.
You don't think walton
got to him, do you?
I don't know.
I mean, he's got eyes and ears
everywhere.
So what do we do?
We have to take him down.
Ooh.
You're gonna take me down.
How are you gonna do that,
jamie?
Hm?
Fresh popcorn, sir?
No.
Annette, get the girls ready.
I'm gonna pay ms. Kassman
a little visit.
[doorbell rings]
[laughing]
- nanny jamie!
- Nanny jamie!
I've missed you so much!
I missed you too.
- Yeah. We brought ice cream.
- Yeah.
- Let's go eat it.
- Go eat it.
Mr. Page.
Mind if I come in?
Or is your boyfriend, zack here?
(walton)
'cute place.'
why did you come here?
Oh, well the girls missed you.
I missed you.
You have a funny way
of showing it.
Blacklisting me all over town.
[laughing]
that's nothing personal.
- It's just business. Right?
- Yeah.
It is just business.
And you, my dear,
are bad business.
[dramatic music]
hm.
Well..
Such a beautiful family.
They're still in iowa, right?
'your dad, still on
the insurance business.'
'he had a good year last year.'
hell, I'm impressed.
Gosh, your mother,
erin, she looks
so beautiful in this picture.
And she must be so proud
'of your little brother justin'
'for making varsity, that is'
a hell of an accomplishment.
Hey, is he still into old cars?
Is he still driving
the '72 chevy pickup?
I love old cars myself
but you gotta be careful
because, you know,
things wear out.
Things become dangerous.
- Brakes stop working.
- Why did you come here?
I came here to remind you..
- 'we should come here often.'
- 'yeah, we should.'
...That you are a little minnow.
And I am a great white shark.
And that minnows don't last
very long.
I need you to stop poking around
I need you to leave it alone
do you understand me?
Say yes.
Say yes.
Girls.
Finish up, it's time to go.
Okay.
(walton)
'say goodbye to jamie. Okay?'
- bye, nanny jamie.
- Bye.
Bye.
(walton)
'come on, guys.'
hey, uh, jamie?
Give my regards to zack, okay?
Wish him a speedy recovery.
- Bye, jamie.
- Bye, jamie.
Yeah.
- 'bye, nanny jamie.'
- 'bye.'
(walton)
'bye.'
[dramatic music]
[line ringing]
(nurse mckay on phone)
'hello, this is nurse mckay'
'mccounty general,
how can I help you?'
[indistinct chatter on pa]
[beeping]
how's he doing?
Well, he was touch and go
for awhile there.
We're all just hoping
that he regains consciousness.
He had a lot
of internal bleeding.
Is there..
Is there anything I can do?
Just keep him company.
From what I understand,
his parents are overseas
and that's gonna be a day or two
before they get here.
You're his best medicine
right now.
[indistinct chatter over pa]
I'm so sorry..
Come on. Wake up.
[inhales]
zack, I'm so sorry.
This is all my fault.
I mean, it's all over my head
and I dragged you into it
I'm so sorry.
I'll make this all go away.
But you have to wake up, okay?
You just gotta wake up.
[instrumental music]
rough night?
What are you doing here?
You either stop talking
or everyone you care about
will disappear.
Even zack.
If he makes it out alive.
Anything can happen
in a hospital.
Be a good little girl
and stop making noise.
[instrumental music]
[instrumental music]
sheryl!
You have to help me.
Your husband threatened me again
and my family!
Buck beat my boyfriend
into a coma!
- I'm not the first person--
- are you insane?
I know you know.
I can see it in your eyes.
You are playing with fire.
Leave me alone. I mean it.
You are jeopardizing me
and my girls.
Well, he's ruined lives, sheryl.
Many women just like you and me.
You are smart.
Okay?
You can stop this.
You can help.
You're all I have.
I need to keep my girls.
They're everything to me.
Look, I know that.
And I can help. I just..
Look, sheryl, we can do this.
Together.
He's gonna kill someone, sheryl.
Don't you wanna be free?
[instrumental music]
(woman on tv)
'we're live here
at los angeles county'
[indistinct chatter on tv]
'...Where proceeds will go
to the city's homeless.'
'walton page and his wife
sheryl..'
wait, claire!
Claire, I have an idea.
Is this an "uh-oh" idea?
Or a "yay, ice cream?"
oh, whatever.
Okay, I'm game for anything.
Come on. Let's go.
We gotta change.
- Come on, come on, come on.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- We have to hurry.
- I'm going, I'm going.
Okay, where do we go?
We're gonna go
right through the side door.
Security camera's broken.
Okay.
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
okay.
Gotta find something on him.
Okay?
Just look for anything,
anything that looks important
any documents, keep a note
he knows exactly
how he leaves things.
Okay, we've gotta find proof
of money that he sent to women
or contracts that he used
to silence them.
[sighs]
hey.
These look pretty official.
Okay. I'm just gonna copy all
of his files, look at 'em later
and see if I can find any proof
of payoffs.
What's this?
- 'what the hell?'
- 'oh, my god. What the hell?'
(jamie)
'claire, this is live.'
he's in our house right now?
Yeah.
Yeah. They're not here.
[door unlocks]
someone's coming.
It's annette, quick. Under here.
[instrumental music]
(jamie)
I can't believe he's been
watching us all this time.
(claire)
you don't think he'll still
be there, do you?
(jamie)
buck? No. I saw him leave,
right?
(jamie)
'when you heard annette coming.'
'and the police won't listen
to us.'
'we're on our own.'
- you have the usb?
- Yeah, I got it.
- Do you have the folder?
- Yeah.
[instrumental music]
seriously,
I know you don't believe me
but I'm telling you the truth.
It's really, really funny.
- Sheryl.
- Hey.
Uh, buck is tracking you.
Look, I found something
on walton
that can help free
the both of us.
You need to get out of here.
- Just take this.
- No, I..
I need your help.
[phone rings]
(claire on voicemail)
'you've reached claire.
Leave a message.'
claire, okay call me back
as soon as you can.
[sighs]

Claire.
Oh, my gosh.
What happened to you? Claire!
Behind you!
Ah! Jamie!
Shut up.
Jamie!
Just shut up.
(buck)
'come on.'
[whimpers]
[instrumental music]
[sighs]
she locked me out.
[beeping]
[line ringing]
- 'yeah, talk to me.'
- buck.
- Meet me at the new building.
- 'copy.'
now.
[groans]
jamie? Are you okay?
Yeah. Where are we?
[sighs]
I think we're in
page's office somewhere.
- I don't know.
- Are you okay?
Hey.
You're not gonna
get away with this.
He's a lunatic, he's a monster.
(walton)
he's what?
Hi.
Take this one outside,
we need to use her for insurance
in case this one here
doesn't cooperate.
No. No.
Come on.
Ugh.
- Wait.
- No.
(claire)
'jamie.'
- okay. Where are my files?
- I don't know.
[laughs]
[sighs]
I really need you to give me
back what belongs to me
or we're gonna have
a big problem
do you understand?
Is this what happened with mara?
No. It's not happened
with mara.
She was a lot worse.
See, mara was a bright girl..
Well, all my girls..
[chuckles]
my girls.
Because I love smart women.
But you..
You were my biggest
disappointment.
I could have schooled you
I could have molded you.
I could have taken you
all the way to the top.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
such a pity.
You brought this on yourself.
Time for us to go.
Just like mara, just like ryan.
It's time..
[groans]
[groans]
[sighs]
[grunting]
whoo!
Hey, where are you going?
[grunting]
[whistling]
look, okay..
You broke our contract.
I'll do anything you want.
You'll do anything I want?
Give me my files.
(sheryl)
'hello, darling.'
'looking for this.'
ah.
Hey. Okay.
Oh, it took me too many years
to remember who I was.
You were right, jamie.
What are you doing?
We're a husband and wife.
Till death do us part.
Why don't you shut up, walton?
Do you know
what your problem is?
You think so highly of yourself
that you have managed
to underestimate everyone else.
And when I saw all those
video tapes
of all those nannies that
you blackmailed and attacked
guess what?
Your little wife here got smart
and I got my own camera
and I started recording you.
That's right.
Oh. Oh, you see it?
We all know how much
you love the camera, honey.
So why don't you give the police
a nice big smile
because they're recording
you right now.
Ooh.
That feels good.
Come on, baby, let me see
those pearly whites.
Ha.
How does it feel?
Come on.
Smile.
[siren wailing]
[indistinct chatter]
found all your secret holdings.
Shady business deals.
Literally, where the bodies
are buried.
Your shareholders
won't be happy.
And neither is your wife.
Everything has a price.
Mr. Page.
[engine rumbling]
[siren wailing]
[instrumental music]
[keys clacking]
you are gonna
love these accounts.
Yes. Send 'em my way.
Jamie, do you have the numbers
on the richards account?
Here you go.
Oh.
Impressive.
Hey.
How are you doing?
Good. Thanks to you.
You're the perfect mentor.
Oh, no. Thanks to you
and all the nannies.
I mean, your testimonies
are what got walton convicted.
How are the girls?
They miss their father
but we have each other.
Impressive.
Right. So great.
You know,
as executive assistant
I am really liking
my new wardrobe.
[laughs]
and here are the last coffees
I hope to ever make
for two of the most
amazing women I know.
[laughs]

- Under 25.

Cheers! Oh, wait..
Before you drink your coffee.
I have something better.
'wait for it.'

Because it can be incredibly

(jamie)
okay, here I go.
- Back to interviews.
- Good luck, jamie.
Your resume is amazing.
I mean, ivy league.
Phi beta kappa.
Captain of lacrosse team.
And the debate team.
I would love the opportunity
to work for this company.
My degree in management has
given me--
[sighs]
I'm sorry
we're just looking for more
experienced candidates.
I understand.
But I was hoping
to gain experience
by working with this company.
I'm willing to start wherever I
need to in order to--
I'm really sorry.
But we can't bring in
any unexperienced candidates.
How do I get experience
if I can't get a job?
I'm really sorry.
Once your resume's stronger.
Come back when you have
more experience.
It's a competitive market.
Next.
[instrumental music]
no, I mean, it's like I have
a sticker on my forehead
that says zero experience.
Have you ever considered joining
the police force with your aim?
[chuckles]
- no, that's pretty good.
- Eh..
And don't worry,
something will come along.
Ooh.
- Ah!
- Hm.
- All three on the board.
- Yay.
I'll remind you of that
when rent's due
when I can't pay my half.
Hey, you know
who got the last job
I applied for
that I was perfect for?
- The guy's nephew.
- The guy's nephew.
I mean, it just comes down
to experience and who you know
and I come short
in both categories.
- What are you gonna do?
- Find a temp job.
Until corporate america realizes
they're missing
their next biggest mogul.
[instrumental music]
[elevator bell dings]
[indistinct chatter]
mr. Page, with page industries
posting record profits
this quarter.
How would you respond
to the public's outcry
for local businesses
to aid in their need?
'do you have
any plans to reinvest'
'your funds into the community?'
(walton on tv)
'well, you see, that's why
we have a charity'
we take ten percent
of, of all the proceeds
we make from page industries
'and we devote it
to familial charities in need.'
as a matter of fact,
this is our
latest and greatest project
right over here.
He's amazing.
Jamie kassman?
Zack becker? Whoa.
I was wondering
when I saw the name.
Hoping actually.
- Right this way.
- Okay.
So this is where you landed
after vanderton.
I took a travel year
and then here, yeah.
I wasn't surprised to hear
you became
senior debate team captain
after I left.
Someone had to uphold
your high standard.
You were untouchable.
So I reviewed your resume
very impressive.
Thank you.
Unfortunately
jobs are few and far
between these days
even with a college diploma
but I think
I might have something
that's perfect for you.
In management?
Actually, it's, um
it's a nanny job.
[sighs]
are you kidding me?
This nanny job
will be different.
It's our top client.
It's a very big deal.
The client is particular about
their employee's background.
Yours hits hard,
it's a perfect match.
You don't even know
if I like kids.
Well, do you like kids?
Sure.
Most.
Jamie, look, I get it, okay?
Trust me, I have been exactly
where you are.
But you gotta get creative
I mean, you need
to pay your rent, right?
It's not a straight line
anymore.
And the money's really good.
- Ah.
- Oh.
Fill out these forms
and then we'll talk.
Oh. Okay, ndas,
background checks.
What, are you gonna
scan my retina?
All of this for a temp job?
A temp nanny job?
Just fill out the forms, okay?
And we'll be in touch.
Okay.
And the most important question
is..
Yes?
What are you doing
Saturday night?
[instrumental music]
(jamie)
'park out back
by the guest house.'
[instrumental music]
she's here, she's here.
Hold up.
Come this way.
You must be the new girl.
I'm annette and those monsters
are gwyneth and madison.
- And they're all yours.
- Thank you.
Okay.
Which one of you is gwenny?
I'm gwenny, I'm gwenny.
Okay, if you show me
around the house
and tell me everything
about yourself
like your favorite animal
and your favorite color
then maybe, just maybe
I'll tell you each a secret.
[indistinct chatter]
come on, come on.
- Come on.
- Jamie, come on.
- Jamie, come on.
- Okay.
Come on.
Look at my slippers.
Those are my favorite slippers.
Look at your face in that one..
- My face is being covered.
- Yeah.
Girls, girls, is, is that..
Is that daddy?
- Duh. Why?
- Yeah.
...Close tonight at midnight.
Yeah. Hold on a second.
Hi.
[instrumental music]
then you just need
to make it happen.
- 'daddy, you're home.'
- 'daddy!'
'hi, guys, how you doing?'
I can't, I can't right now.
I'll meet nanny jamie
in just a second.
Hey, guys,
whoever catches me first
gets a piggyback ride!
- Thank you.
- Mine after madison's.
[laughing]
I wanna go next. Okay?
[instrumental music]
alright.
Sweet dreams.
Jamie?
What is it, sweetie?
You're going to stay, right?
Of course I am.
Why?
Nana mara left
and never said goodbye.
I miss her.
Nanny jamie isn't going
anywhere, okay?
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
- Oh, hi.
- Um..
- I'm so sorry.
- Oh, hi, mr. Page..
Hi. No, call me walt,
you must be jamie.
Oh, sorry, walt.
Oh, hey, listen,
I really wanna thank you
for the job that
you're doing with the girls.
- Fantastic.
- Oh, thanks.
It's nothing, really.
I find that piggyback rides
and tag
are the ultimate draw
with the under-eight crowd.
You're right.
[sighs]
okay, I-I'm gonna go.
Okay, look, if you don't have
anything going on
or if you don't have
any plans, why don't you stay?
I'd love to get better
acquainted.
- Really?
- Uh, yeah.
I have nowhere to go.
- I mean, I, I would love to.
- Fantastic.
Well, why don't you have a seat
by the fireplace?
I'm gonna change real quick
and be down in a few minutes.
- Okay.
- Alright.
Great. I'll see you in a minute.
So..
What do you do when you're not
wrangling wild children?
Well, I plan on taking
my ivy league mba.
Getting a job in management
working my way up
by working harder
and being smarter
than anyone else.
Oh, yeah?
And then I'll take
my first vacation
after I make the forbes
under 25 list.
Wow.
Huh, well, it's no coincidence
that you're working for me then.
[chuckles]
mm.
I actually had no idea
until I saw you
in your hallway.
Really?
Had I known, I certainly
would have dressed better.

She's not answering her phone.

- I'm sorry, I don't know..
He's done something to her.
This is private property.
You need to leave.
I'm not leaving till I find out
what he did to my sister.
Listen, I'm gonna
call the police
if you don't go right now.
Just look. Look, please.
I'm sorry. I don't know her.
That's nanny mara!
- Where did she go?
- You need to go right now.
Okay, you need to go
or I'm calling the police.
Get the girls inside the house,
please.
Where's my sister?
Where'd she go?
- 'inside the house.'
- okay. Yeah.
Where's my sister?
I know you did something to her.
I should ask you the same thing.
- I know you did something.
- Get back.
She disappeared.
She broke our contract.
We can sue her. Buck.
Mara talked about you.
Tell me where she is!
I'll tell you this.
You come near me or my family

[operatic music]
- hey, dad.
- Hi, daddy.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, mr. Page.
Hey, oh, hey, jamie.
- Hi. Have you got a sec?
- Yes?
Uh, sure.
Uh, hey, guys.
Start without me.
I'll be there in five minutes.
- 'okay.'
- 'okay.'
oh, is everything okay?
With that creepy guy?
Oh, yeah. No. Don't worry about
that guy. He's nobody.
The longer you're with me,
you'll find that I've got
more than my fair share
of enemies.
But that's why I
keep buck around.
He's a valuable deterrent.
Actually, the reason why I
wanted to you
is because
I have a business question.
I was figuring that maybe
we could stretch
that resume of yours a bit,
what do you say?
Wanna give it a shot?
Seriously?
- Seriously.
- Yes!
Well, great, get over here.
- Alright.
- Alright.
So there is this company
called allister.
Just filed for bankruptcy.
You know it?
Yes, I'm familiar.
Foreign dealings, right?
Yeah. Well, they were
till about a week ago.
So, you're gonna buy it?
Oh, I already did that.
Right before they declared.
For ten cents on the dollar.
[chuckles]
I didn't know
they were in trouble.
Yeah, well,
technically they weren't.
But I saw their projections
and I swooped in
and made them an offer
that they couldn't refuse.
You see, jamie,
in our line of work
we don't wait for opportunities
to present itself
we create them
and then we seize them.
Always be one step ahead.
Ah, that is right.
Always be one step ahead.
So, my question to you is..
'have a seat.'
- my question to you is..
- Oh.
Now what?
Um..
Well, depending on their
standing holdings
you could hold on to it
collect off the dividends
and interest
but depending
on their financials
it might be more cost effective
to divest
break up all their holdings
and sell it outright
for a profit.
Of course.
Of course.
Then what?
Sell.
Well, you know what?
You are absolutely right.
Sell is the right call.
I put a seller order in
first thing this morning.
- That's very good.
- Thank you.
You're very welcome.
- 'come on, nanny jamie!'
- uh, that is definitely my cue.
Yeah, indeed.
Thank you
for the business lesson.
'any time.'
jamie.
You're very impressive.
That was very impressive.
'very bright future

- thanks.
- 'you're welcome.'

zack becker asked me out.
I can't believe jamie kassman
said yes.
You know, I used to think
you were really cute in college.
Too bad you aged so poorly.

There's potential definitely

walton page.
Have you met his wife yet?
Just in passing.
She's never there.
She's always at yoga
or some charity event.
- She seems..
- What?
Unhappy.
Which is crazy.
Jamie, jamie,

I mean, she's got great kids.
Alright, let's see what you got.

Hey, you want a beer?
Yeah.
Great. Come on.
Mm.
My marriage is like a..
...Never-ending
performance art piece.
- That sounds rough.
- Oh, it's a mess.
I'm sorry.
You know, you remind me
of sheryl actually.
When I first met her.
Yeah.
She is ambitious, determined
smart beyond your years.
All engaging qualities.
- Thank you, mr. Page.
- Of course.
I mean, it's so nice being
around this youthful energy.
You know, I mean, it's so,
it's so light.
Well, I could say the same thing
about being here.
You know, around you.
Well, you could say we have

He actually said
that you were intoxicating?
Mm-hm. Oh.
Gosh, and, and I just..
I kept kissing him until I..
I just feel like such a fool.
You know, I felt, like
he actually believed
that I was smart.
He was just grooming me.
He was testing me.
He was testing
my boundaries.
And I,
I didn't even stop him.
No, he was your idol.
And you're fresh out of college.
This is on him.
I just want to learn from him
and all he wanted was--
he's a creep.
[dramatic music]
I'm so disappointed.
What are you gonna do?
Well, part of me just wants to
crawl up into a hole
and forget about all this, but..
Oh. I know this look.
I like this look.
Walton page says
"opportunity is something
you create.
Not something you sit back
and passively wait for.."
so, you're gonna..
I'm gonna make it work.
I mean, I can't afford to walk.
So, for now, I'll forgive
but I won't forget.
I won't let him get in my head
or touch me ever again.
You know, I'm gonna
beat him at his own game.
I'm gonna get my power back.
You first.

- Oh.
- Hi, girls.
- Whoa!
- Mom, you're home.
- Mwah.

I missed you.
Oh, you must be jamie,

- She really is.
- She's so good.
- I'm sheryl.
- Mrs. Page.
It's nice to finally meet you.
Pleasure's mine.
Well, hello, ladies.
- Hi, dad, come play with us.
- Hi.
Hi, guys, I can't.
I can't, I can't right now
but maybe later, okay?
Hi.
(annette)
'dinner in your office, sir.'
yes, that'll be great.
Thank you, annette.
Uh, mrs. Page,
can I ask you a question?
Sure.
The girls were looking
for their soccer stuff
I was wondering if I could
check in the garage for it?
Of course.
Come on, girls, let's go
try on your new pair of clothes.
- Whose bag is whose?
- Go, go, go.
This is mine.
Annette, can I have a moment,
please?
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Ms. Kassman.
Mr. Page.
Do we have a problem?
No, we do not.
But I do have boundaries,
mr. Page.
Understood.
Do we have an understanding?
We have an understanding.
[car alarm beeps]
"jamie, so you and I
will always be in sync.
"to a great future together.
Respectfully, w.P."
[chuckles]
okay.
Hm.
So, not a creep?
No. I mean, not a creep.
I actually, uh,
I feel kinda bad for him.
He seems sort of lost.
Walton page?
Well, he's just a man
in a complicated marriage.
He's lonely.
I think that's it, claire.
I think he's just lonely.
Well, he better not
touch my best friend.
Oh, he won't.
We have an understanding.

Daddy!
We're only on scales

Alright, rock and roll
next week then. Beat it.
- Right.
- Okay.
Have a good time, ladies.
- Alright.
- Okay.
Hey, jamie, can I have a word
with you for a sec?
- I really should go.
- Just take a minute.
[instrumental music]

[walton laughs]
okay.
Is that better?
- Uh..
- No? More? More?
I mean, I can go put it
in the pool house
if you want me to.
Hm? Ha, ha. Sit down.
Okay.
I just wanna check in with you.
I would imagine that you've got
your, uh
your resume floating around
a few places?
What do you mean?
Well, as much as I'd like to
have you here
with the girls forever.
I'd imagine that you're looking
for a place to stretch
that big bad business brain
of yours.
- I am.
- 'yeah?'
'how's that goin'?'
truthfully, discouraging.
Yeah? You know what, I can, uh,
I can make some calls.
- Oh, really?
- You kidding me? Of course.
I'm tired of winning
all these accolades and awards
like they actually have some
real competition for a change.
Well, thank you, mr. Page.
Yeah. Of course,
here, let me.
Oh, uh, I am, uh, I'm fine.
- You don't have to.
- Nah, you're getting burnt.
Please, I do this
with all my girls.
- All your girls?
- Mm-hm.
Including sheryl?
- Your wife?
- Yes.
Including sheryl, my wife.
As we both know, she's, uh,
pretty sustainable these days.
- Mr. Page!
- I'm sorry.
Did I cross the line?
Look, knee-jerk reaction.
You know what?
I saw you were getting burned.
I figured I'd help you out.
You know, I'm closing
that allister deal tomorrow.
I invite you to come
sit in on the call.
What do you say?
See you tomorrow.
Hey.
You good?
Yeah. Why?
I don't know. You seem..
What?
Off.
Frustrated. Sad?
Come on, jamie.
You're my best friend.
Just spill.
Look, there's nothing to say.
Walton has influence everywhere.
And a letter of recommendation
from him
would mean everything to me.
Well, it's not worth
your mental anguish.
It's not like
he crossed a line.
Really?
What's that supposed to mean?
I don't understand
what you're doing.
I'm trying to survive, claire.
So what,
you're just gonna hang around
until he does cross the line?
You're not that naive, jamie.
I mean, this doesn't sound
like you. You're a warrior.
No, I'm just trying
to navigate this, claire.
Look, I can try to tough it out
but I'm so outside
of my comfort zone right now
and I really just need
some support.
Okay..
♪ and all I really want ♪
♪ is just to be ♪
are you done?
♪ girl ♪
♪ pretending to be nice ♪
it's okay.
♪ and I almost.. ♪
♪ another girl ♪
♪ pretending to be nice ♪
I think you need this.
You got to relax.
[laughs]
♪ time is running
through my hands.. ♪♪
are you okay?
Yeah. Why?
I don't know, you just seem sad.
Why does everyone
keep saying that?
'cause you're not yourself.
Look, zack, I really like you,
but, uh..
- Work has just been--
- I understand.
Uh, mr. Page is, uh..
Did he give you this?
Uh, at the time,
I thought it was
just a token of encouragement,
but..
But it was more.
Yeah.
You know, mr. Page, he..
Hey, look, I know
that you signed an nda
and I don't wanna
compromise you.
But if it helps, we can talk
about it
just refer to your feelings
and generalities, okay?
So, you can give me advice.
As my boyfriend, right?
Sure..
And as far as the watch goes
feel free
to graciously return it
along with any other gift
that makes you feel..
...Inappropriate.
[laughs]
yeah. Okay.
That's a very good idea.
So, I'm your boyfriend, huh?
Well..
Okay, well, as my girlfriend
I think it's time we get some
coffee to cheer you up.
[dramatic music]
[instrumental music]
[door opens]
morning, everyone!
Morning, jamie.
Too chunky.
Oi. What's wrong?
Oatmeal.
Gross
oatmeal?
I love oatmeal.
- Here you go.
- Breakfast is served.
Annette,
do you have any left over?
No. I just gave the last of it
to the girls.
It's organic
and it's very good for them.
Fine. Whatever. Ugh.
I really love organic oatmeal.
Please! She really, really,
really wants it.
- She's so hungry.
- 'fine.'
girls, give jamie your oatmeal,
and I'll make you some eggs.
Mm.
Get it away.
No, no.
And I'm not blind, ms. Kassman.
I see everything.
Lucky for you,
those girls are adorable
and you are due in the office..
Thank you, annette!
[mouths]
go.
(man on phone)
'so, the other issue was
the foreign sales contract..'
yeah, well,
I put slattery on that
so it should be taken care
by this evening.
(man on phone)
'the other point
we wanted to discuss'
'was moving the sale up to this
month instead of January.'
yeah, I mean, I really don't see
that being an issue
'as long as the comps
remain the same..'
actually, uh, hold on one second
I need to consult with my,
uh, my business associate.
(man on phone)
'who's that, jacobs?'
actually, no, gentleman,
I'd like to introduce you
to my latest discovery
ms. Jamie kassman.
(man on phone)
'pleasure, ms. Kassman.'
hello, gentlemen.
If mr. Page assumes ownership
within the fiscal year
then it's assumed
he would also be inheriting
your size-able debt
to the irs, correct?
(man on phone)
'correct.'
whereas, if he takes ownership
after the first of the year
then it would be your contract
to settle that debt, correct?
Gentlemen?
I mean, if you'd like
to terminate this deal
I'm sure that we won't have
a problem finding another buyer.
(man on phone)
'no. No.'
- 'we're fine to proceed.'
- lovely.
(man on phone)
'I'll get the final agreements
to jacobs.'
okay, sounds like a plan.
Ms. Kassman,
is there anything else
you'd like to add?
Well, it's been a pleasure
doing business with you.
[chuckles]
indeed it has.
Fellas, we will, uh,
we will send these
contracts over to you asap.
Thank you so much.
Oh, my gosh.
That was amazing.
You were amazing.
That was incredible.
- It was incredible.
- Oh.
- 'walton!'
- what?
You really crossed the line.
I..
[dramatic music]
oh, my god, jamie,
what are you..
Are you okay?
Yes, no, no,
I, I need to give my notice..
Honey, just a minute,
wait a second. Stop.
Annette?
Annette!
Jamie has some things
to take care of.
Can you cover the girls
for today?
Yes, mrs. Page.
I can handle it.
Okay. Now listen..
...Why don't you
take a girl's day.
Collect yourself and come back
fresh tomorrow. Okay?
I'll see you tomorrow.
Um, but, mrs. Page..
(sheryl)
'I'll see you tomorrow.'
[phone ringing]
(jamie)
'zack, it's jamie.'
'something really weird
happened at work today.'
[instrumental music]
oh. Hey, stranger.
Hello.
Oh, sorry about that.
Um, well, I went in
and killed it on
this conference call
I was having one of the greatest
moments of my life and then..
I'm sensing a but coming..
Well, and then
walton grabbed me,
kissed me and..
What? Are you okay?
I mean, what, what did you do?
Well, no, I, I got the hell
out of there
but on the way out,
I ran into sheryl
of all people,
who just grabbed my hands
told me to collect myself
and just come back tomorrow.
You didn't tell her?
I wanted to but she just
steam rolled past the moment.
It's like she was very versed
in having these kinds
of pep talks.
Anyway, I'm just trying to
decode this contract I signed.
Hey, can't zack help?
I mean, didn't he make you
sign this in the first place?
He didn't make me sign it.
It was just his job
to give it to me.
And I mean, if I talk to anyone
about walton, the family
or the company..
I'm gonna spend
the rest of my life in court.
- To anyone, or just--
- pretty much anyone.
Lawyers, press,
associates of the company.
This sucks.
I did make a list
of pros and cons.
Yeah?
What's it telling you to do?
You know, find that loophole
find a way to win.
Well, you do have someone
on the inside
who really seems to like you.
Well, walton page is officially
my least favorite person.
I'm so sorry
getting you involved.
I don't care if he is the most
powerful man on the planet.
He cannot get away with this.
Except..
Except what?
It looks like he can.
I mean, I'm not a lawyer,
but these are pretty ironclad.
I just want my life back.
[glass shatters]
are you okay?
[instrumental music]
[keys clacking]
[beeps]
[dramatic music]
[chuckles]
[instrumental music]
hi.
Uh, can I have a word with you?
Yeah, of course.
Please, come in.
I'm glad that you came back.
I, uh..
I wasn't sure that you would
after happened yesterday.
Mr. Page..
We should talk.
We should.
Have a seat.
So..
...What's the proposal?
[chuckles]
how did you--
well, I realized yesterday
after I kissed you
that I crossed the line.
And I knew that
there would be repercussions.
So it won't surprise you to know
that I want a new job.
With a sizable raise.
I want an executive position
at the company.
I'm aiming for operations chief
but I understand that might
ruffle a few feathers
so I'd be willing
to accept operations assistant.
Okay. A demand
as well as a compromise.
It's, uh, it's pretty slick.
Well-played.
I've considered this thoroughly.
And if I don't wanna negotiate?
First, I go to sheryl
then your most
conservative shareholders
and then I find
a very visible lawyer.
One that loves press.
[chuckles]
wow.
You have thought
this through, haven't you?
Alright, well..
Good for you.
You've come to play. Cheers.
So..
...Is this negotiating
coming from you and you alone?
Of course.
Scout's honor?
I never was a scout.
Okay, well, I assume that you'd
be interested in the numbers.
[dramatic music]
how does this number sound?
[laughs]
whoa. Wha..
- 'seriously?'
- seriously.
You've done nothing
but impress me
I would be an idiot not
to bring you on to my company.
So what do you say?
Um..
- You have a deal.
- Have a deal.
[laughs]
cheers.
Hm.
Negotiating can be fun.
And to show you my gratitude
I have a little something
for you.
Oh.
[instrumental music]
[chuckles]
this is beautiful.
It's tradition.
I surrender.
You win.
Congratulations.
Okay.
Feel good?
[sighs]
yeah.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Um, okay, so I will finish
my two weeks
give you time
to find a replacement
uh, and then, you can, you can
prepare for my..
- My new..
- Your new position?
Uh, yes.
- You okay?
- Uh..
Yeah, sorry, I just..
Um..
Jamie?
[dramatic music]
[grunting]
- oh!
- Whoa, hey!
You're burning. You're high.
Uh, come on.
Come, come on. Come on.
Let go.
Ah ah ah.
No, no, no.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Come on, come on, come on.
- Don't.
- Come on.
Come on.
Come on. Come on.
You, come on.
[grunting]
[dramatic music]
- look, officer dallas, I--
- no, you look, ms. Kassman.
(officer dallas)
even if we test your blood,
there's no proof
mr. Page allegedly drugged you.
(jamie)
wait a minute, is that a
picture of you and mr. Page?
(officer dallas)
mr. Page is a fine
upstanding citizen.
And I don't know you.
Good day, ms. Kassman.
Officer dallas took a report.
Well, it'll probably get lost.
I mean, he kept using the word
allegedly with me.
I mean, how do you allegedly
drug someone?
You don't. So let's go to
a hospital and get a blood test.
What's the point?
It won't do anything.
Walton will just say
someone else drugged me.
Oh but this is actually
the best part.
So I'm waiting to fill out
my paperwork
I look up at the wall
with all the plaques
awards and pictures
and guess whose there
right front and center?
- Walton page?
- Yep.
Holding a big check, shaking
the hand of the chief of police.
Fifty thousand dollars
to the police pension fund.
[instrumental music]
[grunting]
ah, you good?
Uh, uh, hey.
[panting]
[birds chirping]
so, how are you feeling?
[sighs]
like I blew up my life
and got hit by a bus.
What can I do?
I don't know,
maybe this is what he meant
when he said
everything has a price.
God, I just never wanna
see that face again.
Okay, let's focus on a solution,
not the problem.
So what are you gonna do next?
I don't know,
he's the walton page
and I'm me so..
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Okay, come on. Come on.
You're a fighter.
You can think of something.
Just think of someone
who will believe you,
and has leverage.
Um..
Okay, yeah. Uh..
Sheryl.
She's really hard to read
but maybe she'll hear me out.
I know she knows.
[dramatic music]
- sheryl!
- Jamie.
W-where are the girls?
Are they okay?
Ah, they're fine. You obviously
haven't spoken to your husband.
[scoffs]
I rarely speak to my husband.
Uh-oh.
What now?
Mr. Page..
He tried to..
- I don't know..
- Le-let's get some coffee.
I'll be right back.
Come on.
[sheryl sighs]
'and after cornell'
I was on my way to be running
a fortune 500 company.
I got my mba at london business
school to seal the deal.
[sighs]
and then, I met walton.
He was charismatic and funny.
And I fell for him.
But then suddenly my dreams
of becoming a business magnate
were replaced
by supporting his dreams.
Well, do you have any regrets?
Every day.
- Except for the girls.
- Right.
I was seduced
figuratively and literally.
First by him,
but then by the prospect
of the life he promised.
Every day, we felt
less like a couple
and more like a..
[dramatic music]
...Partnership.
And then one day I realized
the love was gone.
Why?
You could just leave, right?
Walton made it very clear
that if I do leave
it will be without the girls.
Well, mothers don't
lose their kids.
Yeah, well
this is mr. Walton page
we're talking about
this is not an option.
But I have to do something.
Cleary, he's threatened by you
which is not a place
you want to be.
Trust me.
I've been there.
Well, what are you saying?
Just give up?
Madison and gwenny
are the best things in my life.
And I will never leave them.
Can you help me at least?
You're not hearing me.
If I go against walton,
he will take my girls from me.
You really have forgotten
how to fight. Haven't you?
Well, I haven't.
I almost died, sheryl.
Your husband almost killed me.
I will not give up.
I refuse to let him
take my life away.
I won't become another you.
Excuse me.
[instrumental music]
claire?
Claire,
you can't just leave the door..
Claire?
Claire?
Is anybody here?
[instrumental music]
this isn't funny.
Claire, are you back there?
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music]
[line ringing]
(sheryl on phone)
'you've got sheryl.
'leave a message.'
sheryl?
It's, it's jamie, jamie kassman.
My apartment's been ransacked.
You can probably guess by who.
Um, what's, what's next?
Oh, my god.
Jamie, I am so sorry
I wasn't here.
They wouldn't let me leave.
No, I, he's everywhere.
Not actually, but my brain
is playing tricks on me.
And I, I'm so paranoid.
Okay, listen,
I called a pre-law pal of mine
and he did some digging
and it turns out page
has had some other
harassment complaints
against him.
Yeah, that doesn't
surprise me at all.
Apparently, the last one
was someone named mara jackson.
Wait, I-I, um, uh,
I know that name.
Her brother came
to look for her. Ryan.
Oh, gosh,
I-I feel like such an idiot.
I should have seen this before.
But I was so caught up
in getting ahead
and trying to learn from him.
Stop.
There's no way you could have
seen this coming.
Okay, look,
there are six ryan jacksons.
Which one is he?
- You're a genius.
- Hm.
- It's this one.
- Okay.
- What are you doing?
- Direct messaging him on insta.
It'll be the fastest.
And in the meantime
we can find the others.
The others?
Yes. This is a list
of all of his other nannies.
Oh, jeez, that's a lot.
Yeah, and they all have profiles
like yours.
Recent business grads
and top of their
ivy league class.
It looks like walton page
has a type.
She loved working
for that lunatic.
I told her she was being
obsessive
and she reminded me
that she signed an nda
and shouldn't be talking to me
about it anyway.
- What happened?
- We got into a huge fight.
Page came between us.
What,
did he do something to her?
Honestly, I don't know.
I only saw her a few times
after that
but she was moody
and refused to talk about him.
'she looked stressed out.'
scared even.
Then she disappeared.
All I got is this.
And they found
this red trampled-on scarf
in the stairwell at his office
nothing on social media.
Her landlord said
she hadn't been home in weeks.
I had to clear out her stuff.
Mara was at top of her class.
She was going places.
I'm sure she's okay.
I don't know what to do.
The cops don't believe me.
They won't even look into it.
The same thing happened
to jamie.
And now page has a restraining
order out against me.
I can't get near him.
[phone buzzes]
maybe I can.
Sheryl just texted me back.
Maybe she is
finally going to help.
[instrumental music]
uh, I was expecting--
oh, my wife,
she's, she's indisposed
at the moment unfortunately.
I wanna leave.
I understand.
Look, I'd like to resolve this
as, as quickly as possible.
Why don't you come on in?
Really, it's early,
kids are up.
We're hanging out.
Please, come on in.
Drink?
No?
[sighs]
so..
What do we need to do
to make our little
misunderstanding disappear?
- Excuse me?
- Well, that little thing.
That happened between you and I.
Just give me a number,
any number.
You drugged me.
Hm.
Yeah. Says you.
Or I could say that
you had a little too much
to drink
and then when I tried
to help you
you assaulted me.
There's no one else here,
mr. Page
you can stop lying.
I'm not lying.
You're lying.
That's the point.
What are you gonna do?
I'm gonna make sure
you stop victimizing women.
[chuckles]
victimizing women.
Okay. Well, how are you
gonna do that?
I've got proof.
There are others.
The whole nanny merger thing
that you're working on.
- That's cute.
- I'm just getting started.
You really think that I'm gonna
let you take me down?
I've covered all of my bases.
You should quit
while you're ahead.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means that you're gonna lose.
It means that you have no one.
I've got ryan, mara's brother.
Ryan, you mean that guy
that trespassed on my property?
That crazy guy?
His thief of a sister.
Yeah. There's a warrant out
for her arrest.
I have your own wife--
who delivered you right here
to me.
See, jamie..
..You have no power.
- 'what do you got?'
- I have the truth.
Oh, really? I got
a version of the truth too?
Here, check it out,
these contracts that you signed
to bankrupt you
and your entire family
for the rest of your life.
So we can either go that route
or you could graciously accept
the severance package
that I'm offering you
and you could walk out of here
with more money
than you have ever had
your entire life.
If I can be bought, then where
will I even be in 20 years?
You know what, everybody's
got their price, ask my wife.
- I'm done with you.
- Goodbye, mr. Page.
[gasps]
you're not going anywhere.
Understand?
(gwenny)
'daddy?'
[grunts]
- hi, sweetheart.
- I can't sleep.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I need you
to go back in the house. Okay?
I'll be up in a few minutes.
I'll tuck you in.
She promised to read
the blue bunny story.
Okay, listen, baby,
you know what
nanny jamie and I are talking,
I need you to go to bed--
how about I read you the story?
Honey, I need you to go to bed.
- What did I just say?
- She said that--
- what did I just say?
- She said--
- what did I tell you?
- I promised her.
I promised her
I'd read her a story.
Come on.
[gwenny sobs]
[dramatic music]
alright. Sleep tight.
[dramatic music]
(walton)
I'm gonna kill you.
[dramatic music]
jamie.
Nanny jamie.
[panting]
damn it, I'm blocked.
[sighs]
- here?
- 'yes.'
go.
[car door closes]
hey, jamie.
I've talked to the women
but they all signed ndas
no one will talk.
I'm just leaving
the construction site now.
Ryan?
I need to talk to you.
Hey, hey, hey.
Look, look.
I need to talk to you.
I, I understand why you wouldn't
trust me
but your sister, I made a lot
of mistakes with her as well.
Listen, I know where she is,
I can take you there.
[dramatic music]
[indistinct chatter]
[grunts]
[dramatic music]
[grunting]
I feel like a steak.
Ryan. I got your message.
Have you had a chance
to talk to linda yet?
Nothing but dead ends
for me and claire
but we're not giving up.
Call me.
(man on tv)
'right, right, right.'
'and so what's your best advice'
'for young kids today?'
(walton on tv)
'well, I think
the major problem today'
is that everyone
keeps lowering the bar.
I mean, I don't understand
when we started
just being okay with mediocrity?
I mean, you have to reach,
you have to strive
you gotta, you gotta
grab hold of that brass ring
'you never let it go.'
zack, I need a new job.
I know, but, the thing is, we--
look, if it's about
being overqualified
I told you
I am fine starting anywhere.
Jamie, it's not that.
Your file has been flagged.
What's that supposed to mean?
On the record?
There have been..
...Issues
in your previous placements.
Issues, they go by
the name of walton page?
I'm not at liberty to say.
You're not at liberty to say?
What, what can you tell me?
You don't understand
what it's like
for me to be over there.
This morning,
I had to get my car back
and I was completely
freaked out.
I could lose my job.
Zack, it's me.
Okay?
Please. This, this is my life.
Walton page
has specifically stated
he will not use our company
if we employ you
in our services.
Jamie, wait..
[sighs]
[lock clicks]
I'm sorry, can I help you?
Yeah, you can.
[grunts]
he's blackballing me!
He doesn't own the entire town.
(jamie)
'yes. He does.'
no one in town will touch me.
Have you heard anything
from ryan?
I sent him a text
and left him a message but..
...Nothing.
You don't think walton
got to him, do you?
I don't know.
I mean, he's got eyes and ears
everywhere.
So what do we do?
We have to take him down.
Ooh.
You're gonna take me down.
How are you gonna do that,
jamie?
Hm?
Fresh popcorn, sir?
No.
Annette, get the girls ready.
I'm gonna pay ms. Kassman
a little visit.
[doorbell rings]
[laughing]
- nanny jamie!
- Nanny jamie!
I've missed you so much!
I missed you too.
- Yeah. We brought ice cream.
- Yeah.
- Let's go eat it.
- Go eat it.
Mr. Page.
Mind if I come in?
Or is your boyfriend, zack here?
(walton)
'cute place.'
why did you come here?
Oh, well the girls missed you.
I missed you.
You have a funny way
of showing it.
Blacklisting me all over town.
[laughing]
that's nothing personal.
- It's just business. Right?
- Yeah.
It is just business.
And you, my dear,
are bad business.
[dramatic music]
hm.
Well..
Such a beautiful family.
They're still in iowa, right?
'your dad, still on
the insurance business.'
'he had a good year last year.'
hell, I'm impressed.
Gosh, your mother,
erin, she looks
so beautiful in this picture.
And she must be so proud
'of your little brother justin'
'for making varsity, that is'
a hell of an accomplishment.
Hey, is he still into old cars?
Is he still driving
the '72 chevy pickup?
I love old cars myself
but you gotta be careful
because, you know,
things wear out.
Things become dangerous.
- Brakes stop working.
- Why did you come here?
I came here to remind you..
- 'we should come here often.'
- 'yeah, we should.'
...That you are a little minnow.
And I am a great white shark.
And that minnows don't last
very long.
I need you to stop poking around
I need you to leave it alone
do you understand me?
Say yes.
Say yes.
Girls.
Finish up, it's time to go.
Okay.
(walton)
'say goodbye to jamie. Okay?'
- bye, nanny jamie.
- Bye.
Bye.
(walton)

(nurse mckay on phone)
'hello, this is nurse mckay'
'mccounty general,
how can I help you?'
[indistinct chatter on pa]
[beeping]
how's he doing?
Well, he was touch and go
for awhile there.
We're all just hoping
that he regains consciousness.
He had a lot
of internal bleeding.
Is there..
Is there anything I can do?
Just keep him company.
From what I understand,
his parents are overseas
and that's gonna be a day or two
before they get here.
You're his best medicine
right now.
[indistinct chatter over pa]
I'm so sorry..
Come on. Wake up.
[inhales]
zack, I'm so sorry.
This is all my fault.
I mean, it's all over my head
and I dragged you into it
I'm so sorry.
I'll make this all go away.
But you have to wake up, okay?
You just gotta wake up.
[instrumental music]
rough night?
What are you doing here?
You either stop talking
or everyone you care about
will disappear.
Even zack.
If he makes it out alive.
Anything can happen
in a hospital.
Be a good little girl
and stop making noise.
[instrumental music]
[instrumental music]
sheryl!
You have to help me.
Your husband threatened me again
and my family!
Buck beat my boyfriend
into a coma!
- I'm not the first person--
- are you insane?
I know you know.
I can see it in your eyes.
You are playing with fire.
Leave me alone. I mean it.
You are jeopardizing me
and my girls.
Well, he's ruined lives, sheryl.
Many women just like you and me.
You are smart.
Okay?
You can stop this.
You can help.
You're all I have.
I need to keep my girls.
They're everything to me.
Look, I know that.
And I can help. I just..
Look, sheryl, we can do this.
Together.
He's gonna kill someone, sheryl.
Don't you wanna be free?
[instrumental music]
(woman on tv)
'we're live here
at los angeles county'
[indistinct chatter on tv]
'...Where proceeds will go
to the city's homeless.'
'walton page and his wife
sheryl..'
wait, claire!
Claire, I have an idea.
Is this an "uh-oh" idea?
Or a "yay, ice cream?"
oh, whatever.
Okay, I'm game for anything.
Come on. Let's go.
We gotta change.
- Come on, come on, come on.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- We have to hurry.
- I'm going, I'm going.
Okay, where do we go?
We're gonna go
right through the side door.
Security camera's broken.
Okay.
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
okay.
Gotta find something on him.
Okay?
Just look for anything,
anything that looks important
any documents, keep a note
he knows exactly
how he leaves things.
Okay, we've gotta find proof
of money that he sent to women
or contracts that he used
to silence them.
[sighs]
hey.
These look pretty official.
Okay. I'm just gonna copy all
of his files, look at 'em later
and see if I can find any proof
of payoffs.
What's this?
- 'what the hell?'
- 'oh, my god. What the hell?'
(jamie)
'claire, this is live.'
he's in our house right now?
Yeah.
Yeah. They're not here.
[door unlocks]
someone's coming.
It's annette, quick. Under here.
[instrumental music]
(jamie)
I can't believe he's been
watching us all this time.
(claire)
you don't think he'll still
be there, do you?
(jamie)
buck? No. I saw him leave,
right?
(jamie)
'when you heard annette coming.'
'and the police won't listen
to us.'
'we're on our own.'
- you have the usb?
- Yeah, I got it.
- Do you have the folder?
- Yeah.
[instrumental music]
seriously,
I know you don't believe me
but I'm telling you the truth.
It's really, really funny.
- Sheryl.
- Hey.
Uh, buck is tracking you.
Look, I found something
on walton
that can help free
the both of us.
You need to get out of here.
- Just take this.
- No, I..
I need your help.
[phone rings]
(claire on voicemail)
'you've reached claire.
Leave a message.'

as soon as you can.
[sighs]
[grunts]
[screams]
[dramatic music]
[tires screeching]

Claire.
Oh, my gosh.
What happened to you? Claire!
Behind you!
Ah! Jamie!
Shut up.
Jamie!
Just shut up.
(buck)
'come on.'
[whimpers]
[instrumental music]
[sighs]
she locked me out.
[beeping]
[line ringing]
- 'yeah, talk to me.'
- buck.
- Meet me at the new building.
- 'copy.'
now.
[groans]
jamie? Are you okay?
Yeah. Where are we?
[sighs]
I think we're in
page's office somewhere.
- I don't know.
- Are you okay?
Hey.
You're not gonna
get away with this.
He's a lunatic, he's a monster.
(walton)
he's what?
Hi.
Take this one outside,
we need to use her for insurance
in case this one here
doesn't cooperate.
No. No.
Come on.
Ugh.
- Wait.
- No.
(claire)
'jamie.'
- okay. Where are my files?
- I don't know.
[laughs]
[sighs]
I really need you to give me
back what belongs to me
or we're gonna have
a big problem
do you understand?
Is this what happened with mara?
No. It's not happened
with mara.
She was a lot worse.
See, mara was a bright girl..
Well, all my girls..
[chuckles]
my girls.
Because I love smart women.
But you..
You were my biggest
disappointment.
I could have schooled you
I could have molded you.
I could have taken you
all the way to the top.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
such a pity.
You brought this on yourself.
Time for us to go.
Just like mara, just like ryan.
It's time..
[groans]
[groans]
[sighs]
[grunting]
whoo!
Hey, where are you going?
[grunting]
[whistling]
look, okay..
You broke our contract.
I'll do anything you want.
You'll do anything I want?
Give me my files.
(sheryl)
'hello, darling.'
'looking for this.'
ah.
Hey. Okay.
Oh, it took me too many years
to remember who I was.
You were right, jamie.
What are you doing?
We're a husband and wife.
Till death do us part.
Why don't you shut up, walton?
Do you know
what your problem is?
You think so highly of yourself
that you have managed
to underestimate everyone else.
And when I saw all those
video tapes
of all those nannies that
you blackmailed and attacked
guess what?
Your little wife here got smart
and I got my own camera
and I started recording you.
That's right.
Oh. Oh, you see it?
We all know how much
you love the camera, honey.
So why don't you give the police
a nice big smile
because they're recording
you right now.
Ooh.
That feels good.
Come on, baby, let me see
those pearly whites.
Ha.
How does it feel?
Come on.
Smile.
[siren wailing]
[indistinct chatter]
found all your secret holdings.
Shady business deals.
Literally, where the bodies
are buried.
Your shareholders
won't be happy.
And neither is your wife.
Everything has a price.
Mr. Page.
[engine rumbling]
[siren wailing]
[instrumental music]
[keys clacking]
you are gonna
love these accounts.
Yes. Send 'em my way.
Jamie, do you have the numbers
on the richards account?
Here you go.
Oh.
Impressive.
Hey.
How are you doing?
Good. Thanks to you.
You're the perfect mentor.
Oh, no. Thanks to you
and all the nannies.
I mean, your testimonies
are what got walton convicted.
How are the girls?
They miss their father
but we have each other.
Impressive.
Right. So great.
You know,
as executive assistant
I am really liking
my new wardrobe.
[laughs]

I hope to ever make
for two of the most
amazing women I know.
