Dynasty (2017–…): Season 5, Episode 20 - Episode #5.20 - full transcript

Well, there's no
proof that heart arrhythmias

are a side effect.

These claims against my son

are false and defamatory.

That's why I had no problem
putting up his bond.

Justice will prevail.

I cannot believe
how reckless you were.

Well, if Mother
hadn't turned me in,

none of this would be happening.

This isn't your mother's fault.

You were the one
that decided



to import and use
illegal ingredients.

Ingredient. Technically,
it was just one.

I'm sorry.

- But I can't change the past.
- No, you can't.

Which is why we need to make
this go away and start fresh.

Great. Forward motion.
Where do we begin?

How about with the seven
civil suits against you?

And then we'll move on
to the criminal case.

Thank you
for your support, Father.

I-I don't know
where I'd be without you.

In jail.

Do you mind if I wear this?

Um, you
already are.

Good point.



Besides being super brilliant,
supportive and gorgeous,

I love being your girlfriend
because I've effectively doubled

my wardrobe options.

- What's on your docket for today?
- I'm volunteering

for Jeff's Colby
Co. Day of Caring at the hospital.

Really? When did you
become so philanthropic?

I've been feeling
really guilty.

I feel like
I totally dropped the ball

on my recovery program.

Look, you have been
sober for over a year.

That is a huge deal.

You should be proud of yourself.

No, I am.
But the court case

and the whole fiasco
with my father's book

just made me realize
I need to be more committed

to rigorous honesty
and acts of service.

And Jeff's been such
a good friend to me

that I figure I can

repay him and do
some good deeds in the process.

Well, it sounds like you've
got it all figured out, huh?

Why don't you come
with me?

You know what they say...

Couples who volunteer together
stay together.

Okay, I don't think
anybody says that.

And I already work
at the hospital.

Plus, I've got to go

to Alexis's.Hmm.

I didn't realize you two
were back on speaking terms.

We're not, really.

She's begging Fall on and I

to go have breakfast
and talk to her, so...

we're going. Yay.

Mm. Uh...

Before you go,

I need to practice some...
rigorous honesty with you.

Why do I have
a bad feeling about this?

You know your favorite
diamond necklace

that I wore when
you were in London?

The clasp on it broke, and they
don't know if they can fix it.

I'm really sorry.

Whew! Wow,
that felt good.

Well, as long as it
felt good for one of us.

Okay. Bye.

There's my girls.

Thank you

for coming.

I know we're not
in the best place right now,

but... Eh.

I'm still not in a
hugging mood with you.

Between blowing off
my charity event

and lying in court
to jeopardize my child's legacy,

you are not
my favorite person.

I get that.
But how would it have looked

if I was bidding
on eligible bachelors

so soon into my third marriage?

Like you weren't so selfish?

And you? Uh, well,

since the moment I arrived,

all you cared about was beating
Blake for my attention.

You also stole
the book of secrets

from my girlfriend's bedroom,

a girlfriend
that you barely acknowledge

except to say
that you loathe her.

So, yeah...

No hugs here either. "Loathe" is

a bit severe.
But that is exactly why

I wanted you both to come over.

So we could fix us.

I'm tired of unhealthy,
toxic relationships.

Oh, and who is
the common denominator

in all that toxicity?

Don't confuse me with math.

I'm apologizing
for the past.

At this point,
your apologies are useless.

You're like the little girl
who cried "Sorry."

And we know you
can't help it. I mean,

a woman so self-absorbed can
only see the errors in others.

Hmm. Would someone
so self-absorbed

bring masseuses all
the way from Sweden

just for you?

You think
that'll massage away

all the pain
that you've caused us?

Plus, I don't have time
for this.

That new drug
that you've been peddling on FSN

has caused me major problems,
both legally

and financially.

Believe me, you did not take

a bigger financial hit
than I did.

And that illegal drug
was on Adam.

That's why I turned him in.

Wait a minute.

Does this mean there's
not going to be a brunch?

Nobody wants a massage
on a full stomach.

Okay, I think
we're done here.

Goodbye. Wait, no.

Fall on. Amanda.

Uh...

Are you okay?

No, I've already
lost my sons.

I can't lose my
daughters, too.

Stop punishing yourself.

You've done your best,

and now this is their problem.

You can't force them
to see you differently.

You're so cute
when you're wrong.

Because that is exactly what
I am going to do.

Right. That's what I meant.

This place is packed.

These jalapeño chicken poppers
are killing it.

Mmm.Shoot. Sorry.

Sam.

Ryan.

What are you doing here?

Uh, well, I'm-I'm just here
with some buddies.

Um, you gonna eat that

or kind of just dangle it
there awkwardly? Oh.

Sorry. I didn't want to get...

...jalapeño grease on your sexy,

um... your, uh,

silk shirt.

Come here.

Well, thank you.
Much appreciated.

So, are those guys
in law school with you?

Or, um, are they
strippers, too, or...

Or both?

They are law school friends
who, uh, picked this spot

to... blow off steam
before finals.

Out of all of the gin
joints in Atlanta,

they had to pick La Mirage, huh? Yeah.

They like the decor.

But maybe you convinced them

to come for some other...

spicy reasons?

Come on, Sam. You-you know why.

There are, you know,

extras here that they like.

You talking about
the new tuna melt?

No, I'm talking
about the new high-end escorts

using La Mirage
as their home base.

High-end who? Escorts.

Shh. Please not
scream out the word?

Are you being
serious right now,

or is this some kind
of law school initiation prank?

- You seriously didn't know?
- No, I didn't know.

I've been busy.Okay.

Well, according to my buddies,

at least half a dozen
have been working

out of here
for the last few weeks.

Yeah, I just, you know...

I figured that you were
probably just taking a cut.

I'm not a pimp.

Sex work is only an issue
if it isn't entered into

with mutual respect
from both parties.

Well, you should really study up

on Georgia Code 16-6-9
for your final.

All right?

Because prostitution
is against the law.

And I don't need
that kind of trouble.

This place is already
family-friendly,

pet-friendly, LGBTQ-friendly.

It can't also be...

Escort-friendly.

Ah.

A sister spa day is just

what the knots
in my back ordered.

I know. I couldn't say it
to Alexis back there,

but I actually could
really use a massage.Hmm.

Thank you
for setting this up.

You really went
all out with the ride.

Me? I didn't set this up. Well,

Jeanette told me to meet you
here so we could go to the spa.

That's exactly
what she told me.

Alexis.Alexis.
No, no, no.

Oh, I see Jeanette
did her job perfectly.

Hans.

Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

- Hey, unlock these doors, please.
- No, no.

It is time for a road trip.

Road trip? This isn't funny.

No, it's actually
quite serious,

because if you're going
to continue to see me

as selfish and uncaring
towards my children,

well, I'm just going to have
to show how wrong you are.

By torturing us?

No. A little
light kidnapping.

Buckle up.
Safety first.

Blood drive is
down the hall on the left,

the bake sale is on the right,
and the ice cream delivery

was meant to be
for patients only.

Ah. Here you go.

And you

get a lollipop
for donating blood so bravely.

Uh, Gemma,
this is my friend Kirby,

who seems to have taken over
running this event for me.

Well, you're
doing a great job.

And also, I love your bangs.

This one's a keeper.
Mm.

Sorry. It's the office.

I should get to work.

Text later
to make plans?

Yeah. Definitely.

Have a great day.

- That Gemma is a gem.
- You think?

We met at a bachelor auction,
of all places.

She seems great, and I'm on
a kick to be rigorously honest,

so you know
I'm telling the truth.

Speaking of which,
what you're doing

for this neuro ward is amazing.

It's a start.

There's a bunch of things
I could've been doing

if I hadn't been
chasing down my companies

for the last six months.

Uh, are you okay?

What? Yeah. Totally.

I just... I'm surprised
to hear you say that.

I mean, you're all good
now, right?

Yeah. Sure. I just
wasted a lot of time.

I want to sponsor future
tech innovators at HBCUs

so they can start their own
Colby Cos. All around the globe,

but I missed a whole year.

Even if you had known,
it's only been six months.

Well, bureaucracy
takes time.

Look, I can't even convince
the head nurse

to let me throw a garden party

for the nurses
and patients tomorrow.

I'm getting

all the nurses new cars,
and I wanted the volunteers

to drive up in them
as a surprise.

That's amazing.

Not if you ask Nurse Julia.

She wants
to throw a little

potluck in the break room.

That's depressing.
You can't drive a car

- into the break room.
- What can I do, huh?

Can't kidnap everybody
and take 'em to Disney World.

Eventually,

you're gonna have
to say something.

Otherwise, it's gonna be
a very long trip

if I'm the only one talking
for seven hours.

- Seven hours?! - Seven hours?!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait.

Where the hell
are you taking us?

Ah, the destination
is a surprise.

I don't like surprises,

especially
when they're seven hours away.

You do realize
that we have, like, lives

and jobs
and people who depend on us?

As a good mother,
I took the liberty

of calling both
of your offices to inform them

that you would be gone
for the day.

Well, do you know how
to send an AMBER Alert?

Does-does Hans up there know
that he's aiding and abetting?

I am calling the police

and telling them

to meet us
at the next gas station.

Just give me 24 hours
to show you what a caring,

unselfish mother I am,
who can put her children first.

And if you don't
believe me,

I will stop meddling
in your lives.

Like, permanently?

Okay, deal.

Wonderful.
Oh, 'cause I was thinking

that I could be Goldie Hawn and
you could be Kate Hudson and...

...Kate Hudson's sister. So,

I packed some treats
just for the spirit

of this trip. Mm. Mm. Amanda,

would a selfish mother
track down

very hard-to-find cookies
in the UK,

just because she knows that
it's her daughter's favorites?

It's a good guess, 'cause, like,

who doesn't like
chocolate chip cookies? So...

Why does she get cookies,

and I have
a weird list of songs?

I don't like those songs,
but you do.

So this is the official play list
for the trip.

Again, unselfish.

Now it's time
for a Lizzo sing-along.

Hit it, Hans!

No, don't hit it, Hans.

Nobody is in the mood
for a sing-along,

not even Lizzo.

We have a contract. - Well, then,

- I will handle it myself.
- What about innocent

until proven guilty? You let me know
when you hear something.

Fine. Goodbye.Fine. Goodbye.

That was our Flores contact
at the Department of Defense.

She just suspended
our transport deal

in response
to Adam's legal issues. Well, actually,

a lot of my clients have
political clout. I could call...

Not now. Maybe we can sue

and force them
to honor their commitments.

I know these people, Cristal.

I think tying them up in court's
just gonna make them angrier.

Yeah, nobody wants that.
Maybe we should try...

Do have any actual
suggestions,

or do you just want
to shoot mine down?

I'm sorry?

We need to clarify
that this is about Alex am,

not Flores or PPA.

Smart. If anyone deserves
to be eviscerated, it's Alexis.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.
We could leak something

about Dex and his hedge fund.

Okay.

The lawyers have settled

and paid off six
of the plaintiffs

in the civil suits
against Adam,

but one woman
still refuses.

So now what? Now it's time
for the closer.

So, about that Dex idea?

Let's go.Okay.

But I said, "If you're
gonna take all top three floors,

we're gonna need
the whole weekend."

Are you even listening to me?

Yes. You said something
about a text,

a book, and, uh,
cleaning the floors.

I said a tech
billionaire wants

to book the top three floors
for a conference.

Right. I...
That's basically what I said.

Okay, what is going on?

Oh, nothing much,

except La Mirage is apparently
now a hub for...

Escorts.

What? Yeah.

At least half a dozen of them

are in the bar right now.

And while I have nothing
against sex workers,

people are starting

to call the hookah lounge
"the hooker lounge."

Which, yes, it's clever, but...

But we're finished
if clients find out

and start
canceling reservations.

Which is why we need
to get rid of them.

How?

We can't just
approach random women

and accuse them
of being escorts.

Also, we're the owners.

People will see us
coming a mile away.

I already have
a pretty solid lead

on who the queen escort is.

Ms. Thang over there
has been buzzing around

like she knows everyone.

Probably because she does.

That's Anika

from the billing department.

Oh, Anika.

Well, she shouldn't
be day-drinking.

This is so nice.

Oh, come on, girls.

I mean, if by nice,
you mean "sticky," then, yes.

Yeah. For some reason,
ordering off a menu

that has photos on it
makes me want to vomit a little.

If this is your way
of showing us

that you're an unselfish mother,
big fail so far.

Fall on, look around.

We're here because of you.

We used to stop here on the way
to the Car ring ton compound.

Don't you remember?

I hated it,
but you loved it,

so we always came.

Why would anyone like it here,
especially Fall on?

♪ The sun'll come out tomorrow

♪ Bet your bottom dollar
that tomorrow ♪

♪ There'll be sun...

Fall on was obsessed with Annie.

She used to sing along even.

This trip feels more
about you wanting a sing-along

than showing us
that you're a great mother.

- ♪ Till there's none...
- All right.

That's enough Annie.
Thank you so much.

That was fun.

Great job.

That was wonderful. Thank you.

Yes, I did love Annie, but only
because I related to her.

You know, a-a girl
surviving on her own

without her parents.

Sure, Annie was abandoned
and left in an orphanage,

and I was alone
in the Car ring ton Manor,

but you get the parallels.

I was hoping this pit stop would
trigger something positive?

No, just childhood trauma.

Girls, get off
your phones.

Engage in
the road trip activities.

I have 20 hours left.

Look, I'm sorry if I seem
a little bit distracted,

but FSN just lost
a major advertiser

because of your Alex am scandal.

That, and I am trying to open up

a hydroelectric plant
in one week.

Want to share a milkshake?

Uh, small reminder...
I've never been here before

because you did abandon me
as a child, so...

Oh, if you'll excuse me,

I'm gonna take this call
from the hospital.

Hello. Hey, what's up?

What can I get started for you?

You can start by coming back
tomorrow, Annie.

I've told you two, we need
to keep this area clear.

Move along.

Oh, seems like
somebody's having a rough day.

Banana split
to turn that frown upside down?

Dairy and I don't agree.

And sugar leads to obesity,
diabetes and heart disease.

Right. Well, while I have you,

can we talk
about the party for tomorrow?

I just think it would be fab
if we had it in the garden.

And fresh air is a common
prescription for good health.

Like I told Mr. Colby, patients
walking outside is a liability.

Not to mention
a logistical nightmare.

Approving overtime for half
the staff on this wing?

Well, word in the neuro ward is

that you favor some nurses
over others.

I mean, agreeing
to overtime for some,

making others
change bedpans?

Some nurses need tough love. Well,

when you factor in
padding your own hours,

it all seems rather unfair.

Unfair? Hmm.

That's an unfounded rumor.
You must have heard wrong.

No, I don't think so.
My hearing is 20/20.

You know who else
has great hearing?

My girlfriend Amanda Car ring ton,

lead counsel here.

And I'm sure
once she starts digging,

those rumors will be founded
one way or another.

She wouldn't.She would.

Unless you give Mr. Colby
what he wants.

And if he wants
to have that party

in the garden,
well, I think you're the one

that can make it happen,
Nurse Julia.

Or lactose intolerance will be
the least of your problems.

Okay, so,

what does this whole escort deal
have to do with me?

Well, escorts are attracted
to wealthy, single men,

so, naturally,
we thought of you.Okay.

But I'm pretty sure
you know I'm... married,

considering you were both there?

Well, yes,
it was a beautiful ceremony,

except for the guy
wielding the knife?

Okay, we're getting
off topic here.

Listen, all we need you
to do is be part of a sting

to identify one escort.

Oh, that's all you need? No! Mm-hmm.

Sorry. I'm not getting
roped into any of this.

I have no desire to pretend
to look for a prostitute.

It's a little unseemly. Oh, right.

We wouldn't want you to break
your moral compass or anything.

That was a low blow,
and you know what I mean.

Listen,

all I know is sometimes
we do dishonest things

for good reasons.

You know? Desperate times
and all that?

He makes a good point.

Fine. I'll do it.

But then we're done doing bad
things for good reasons, okay?

Are you gonna eat
your sandwich?

Have at it, boys.

Nancy. Hi.

- I'm-I'm Blake Car ring ton.
- I know who you are.

Both of you.

And you should know it's illegal
to speak to me ex parte.

This is only gonna
take a second.

I want to make a deal with you.

Now, we both know that

the Alex am product
probably had nothing to do

with your heart issues.

But I'm willing
to pay you

an insane amount of money
just to make that official.

I've already rejected

your lawyer's offer.

What makes you think
my mind has changed?

Because
it's double the original?

Well, what hasn't changed is,
I still want you

to be held accountable
for your actions.

I hate to even suggest this,
but, like, how can we be sure

that your problems didn't start
with a preexisting condition?

Were you on any
medications?

Anything contraindicated?

Or did you use more
than one inject able

during a three-month time frame?

I don't appreciate
the third degree.

And I know the truth.

The truth is what we say it is.

After all, my daughter
is lead counsel

at the hospital, and she has
access to patient charts.

Are you threatening
to alter my medical records?

I am not threatening anything.

I am just saying

that your case may not be
as strong as you think it is.

Thank you.

No need to thank me,

but the clasp
on your necklace is fixed.

I just spoke to my assistant.

Did you use my name
to threaten a nurse?

Did I what? You heard me.

It wasn't really threatening.

It was more just persuading.

And it was for a good cause.

Plus, I wasn't gonna
follow through with any of it.

That's not the point.

What happened
to rigorous honesty?

It was on hold
because I wanted to help Jeff.

Right. By harming my reputation.

That wasn't my intention.
Really.

Do you know what?
It doesn't even matter

because now I have
to do a mountain of paperwork

to try and approve the expense
and the overtime,

and-and I just have to pray

that Julia's not gonna file
an HR complaint.

I'll talk to Julia. Please don't, okay?

I don't know what you're
overcompensating for, Kirby,

but maybe
you should figure it out.

And next time you can
leave me out of it, okay?

I moved in

to the penthouse
to be closer to my children.

Completely unselfish.

Oh, yeah.

Moving into a penthouse
worth millions of dollars

in the best part of Atlanta
was really a sacrifice.

No, no,
you are twisting my words.

And, hey, I ran over

Mimi Rose Prescott in my car

to help you secure
a wedding venue, remember?

Can someone tell me how
to turn off notifications?

No, no, no.

The board wants
to meet in person

to discuss all the advertisers
that are pulling out of FSN.

Where should
I tell them I am?

I don't think "hell"
is specific enough.

Are we in Charleston?

Yes! I want to look at a house.
I want your opinions.

Wait a minute.

You dragged us to an open house
in Charleston?

Okay, that's enough. No!

It is not enough.

Neither of you has been
paying enough attention.

And you know what?
That changes right now.

Don't... you... dare.

You've officially
crossed state lines.

So, do you know
what that means?

Now this is
a federal offense.

And you owe us
new phones.

I'm starting to think this may
not be one of our best ideas.

Patience. Look.
A target's approaching.

Is this seat taken?

Yeah. Uh, no.

It... it can be. By you.

Uh, but only if you let me
get you a drink first.

Smooth. That'd be lovely.

I'll take a Paper Plane, up,
top shelf only.

Make that two.

You got expensive taste.

How much will the night cost me?

Excuse me?

I-Is that not how this works?

Oh, is it more
like an hourly thing?

Okay. Okay.

So she may not
be an escort.Yeah.

No. More like a UFC fighter.

I tried. I'm done. Sit back down.

It's only been,
like, two minutes.

Maybe you should just...
put in more effort, okay?

You got this. More eye contact.

Ooh! Is it hot in here,
or is it just you?

Are you from the South?

Because you're the only
ten-I-see!

Tennessee.
Ten... Ten-I-see?

You ladies like raisins?

How about a date?

♪ I get a touch
of your love... ♪

You should work
on your game.

Lots of incomplete passes.

Yeah. Yeah, I think
I'm a little rusty.

Don't worry.
I won't try a line on you.

Good, because I'm more
of a fig girl myself.

But dates work, too.

Well, if you're still
looking for company,

I'll be free in an hour.

But you should know that's the
only thing about me that's free.

Can I ask you
a-a monetary question

without getting slapped?

Slapping will be extra.

But I don't like
to discuss details

in public, so...

bring cash.

Upstairs.

See? You got this.

Good. Great. Grand.

Okay, my work here is done.

Um, uh, you-you want
to tell him?

Since it was your idea.

Oh, come on.

With all the women
dropping their civil suits,

the criminal trial
will fall apart,

leaving the runway open
to shift the narrative away

from Adam and
the Car ring tons.

Well, it won't be that easy.
Thanks to Alex am,

PPA is now under federal review

for shipping products
containing illegal drugs.

I'll just take one
of the jets up to D.C.

and have a boozy dinner
with the FAA administrator.

No, you won't.
Until this goes away,

the only place you should
be flying is under the radar.

If Anders were here,

this would have all
been taken care of already.

But he's not.

We can find you a majordomo,
but for now

you need to distance
yourself from Adam.

The further he falls,

the further he drags down
the Car ring ton name.

He's my son, Cristal.

Exactly. Which is why he knows
you will always bail him out.

Hey. Press is
out there, waiting.

Um, I was gonna stand with you,
kind of as a show of strength.

And I also have
some prepared remarks, but,

you know, I don't have to talk
unless they ask me questions.

Uh, yeah,
that-that's not gonna happen.

I appreciate the offer, um,

but I'm gonna go solo
on this one.

Okay. Uh, what is it
you're planning on saying?

Don't worry about it.
Everything's gonna be all right.

Okay, this is not okay.

I will not, under
any circumstances, pay for sex.

Oh, my God. Liam, no one is
asking you to actually have sex.

The police just need
to catch her

in the act of accepting money.

Oh, now the police are involved?

You will tell them
that you're a part

of the sting.
Don't worry about it.

Right. I'm sure
they'll believe that.

And if by some miracle they do,
Fall on won't.

Fall on doesn't need
to find out.

Just like no one needs to find
out about the book you... wrote.

Wow.

I confided in you during
my most vulnerable moment,

and now... now what? You're
using that to blackmail me?

I-Is there something you
guys want to share with me?

No. Liam just needs to know
that I will support him

in whatever he does...
after tonight.

Hmm.

Well, that
cleared it up.

Okay, so are you in or not?

Fine.Yes.

But I'm not
getting arrested, okay?

That is where I draw the line.

I think I have
a plan to make

Bianca and her friends
leave the hotel

and keep you out of jail.

So, what do you think?

Honestly?

It's an awful investment.

What are you and Dex going
to do with a house this big?

I agree.
And also, isn't this

what the Internet is for?
They do have

virtual online
tours, you know.

Can we please leave now?
I'll call Blake

to see if he can send
the private plane

to meet us
at the nearest landing strip.

Okay.

I'm not buying this house.

Okay. Well, at least you're
listening to some good advice.

No. I mean, I was never planning
to buy this house.

Then what are
we doing here?

I used to own this house,

but I...

sold it a long time ago.

I rented it so we could be here,

and I could show you
what kind of mother I really am.

What the hell
are you talking about?!

We were going to live here
when you were young.

And I mean you, too, Amanda.

I had a whole plan

for us to be one, big,
happy family.

PPA is now linked
to the Alex am scandal

and accused of transporting

illegal goods
across state lines.

Can you explain
your involvement?

We have no involvement.

I was just as shocked
as everyone else

when I heard about what was
happening to these women.

Let me emphasize again.

Neither PPA

nor Flores Incorporado
knew anything about this.

But you are related
to Adam Car ring ton.

You expect the public
to believe you were unaware?

Adam is my son, yes.

But that doesn't mean I knew
about his actions beforehand,

nor do I condone them.

But just as
the child shouldn't

suffer the sins of the father,

well, the reverse is also true.

And make no mistake.

Adam Car ring ton has sinned.

Blake Car ring ton has not.

And Adam will have
to face the consequences

of what he has done.

Thank you.

When it became clear
that my marriage

to your father was over,
I spared no expense

to have this home custom-built.

Notice the imported
Brazilian floors throughout,

the Moroccan Zellige tiles
in the powder room.

What does hiring an expensive
interior designer have

to do with us?

I had plans to put a paddock
out back, Fall on.

I wanted to foster

your passion for riding.

I knew being away from
your horses wouldn't be easy.

I turned the study

into a library for Steven

so he had a place
all his own to read.

His nose was always
in a book.

Amanda.

Your bedroom was upstairs.

And I filled it with all of your
favorite things from London.

I even painted it bright green

because I knew
it was your favorite.

I might not have
been your mother,

but I did keep tabs on you.

Can you see how far I went
to make you feel at home here?

Yes, but we never
lived here, did we?

I mean, you left
when I was 14,

and I didn't
see you for years.

Yeah, and you may have
decorated a bedroom for me,

but you did also spend 25 years

not claiming me
as your daughter.

I don't think that's very fair.

Neither is life.

We're leaving
first thing in the morning.

This entire
house is you in a nutshell...

Big promises
with no follow-through.

What do you think?

Could I launch a thousand ships?

Uh, you are well worth
the price of admission,

which is, um, what exactly?

We don't have
to deal with compensation

until after you're... satisfied.

Yeah, but I-I... See, I would
really like to pay in advance

just so I can be fully
in the moment.

You're ruining the moment.

Let me help you relax.Um... I just...

Um... I don't like having...

just debts being
held over my head.

Fine. It's a thousand dollars
an hour.

Great. Yeah.

Let's just, uh, settle up now
so there's no confusion.

You're acting strange.

Huh?

Oh, no. It's just, I've, um...

I-I... I've never
done this before.

No, no.

I-I-I've done it.

"It" I've done before,
just not like this.

Bingo.

What?

I said bingo!

All right, nobody move.

You are under arrest
for solicitation.

I didn't do anything. We've got you

on CCTV accepting
money for sex.

I know you've been running an
escort service out of my hotel.

You are going
to lady jail, lady.

This is entrapment.

Uh, well, we can let
the courts decide that.

Unless you
and your friends promise

to stay far away from La Mirage

for good.

And then I can make

all of this go away,

forget it ever happened.

Something sketchy
is going on here.

No, no, no.
Nothing sketchy. I just

have a really good relationship
with the police.

But I, uh, can't help you
if you don't agree.

And listen, I am sure there are
plenty of hotels out there

that would love
to have you. So,

what do you say? Deal?

Deal.

Officer, could you maybe
loosen these cuffs?

They're kind of cutting off
my circulation.

- Yeah. Sorry.
- Whew.

Got a little too into character
there, I guess.

Sorry, man.
Wow.

Yeah, they're normally
just a prop.

Thank you so much
for doing this.

Oh, yeah. No. This was fun.

I think the longest
I've kept this costume on, too.

Oh.But, uh,

I'd say, all in all,
success, yeah?

Success.

Yeah, it definitely
was for Bianca.

She left with my money.

Sorry. Soft scramble is the
extent of my culinary ability.

We're leaving soon. I know.

And I appreciate
you staying over.

I was up the entire night
thinking, and you are right.

I can be selfish,

and this relic
of a house is

emblematic of who I am...

A mother
who made some bad decisions.

Sounds like an instance
where sending an email

would have been easier
than an out-of-state trip.

But...

both of you are being selfish
and unfair as well.

I can't change the past.

So you need to hear me out.

After I bought this place,
I went to visit you, Amanda.

I was going

to tell you the truth

and bring you back
to the States.

I saw you play Emily
in a production of Our Town.

Her Emily was sublime,

but the Stage Manager
might as well

have been reading
the phone book.

While I was waiting
to give you roses,

I saw how close you were
to your parents.

I realized
it would be devastating for them

if I took you back.

And it wouldn't have been
the best for you either.

So I stayed quiet, and
I have always regretted that.

What about your children
that actually lived here?

After the divorce,
I was left penniless.

Blake threatened
to throw me in prison

if I didn't leave quietly,

and he paid off a judge
to keep you and Steven.

Well, I never
knew that part.

Because I never told you.

So, yes,
instead of facing prison,

I escaped to Europe
and found comfort in the arms

of counts and viceroys.

If this is true, then what took
you so long to tell us this?

It's not exactly easy
to talk about.

It's not my proudest moment.

Plus, Blake would have
denied everything.

To be fair,
she does have a point.

I want to move forward in
my life, and I want you in it.

But in order to do that,
there can't be any secrets.

So Dex has been
encouraging me

to express the full extent
of my emotions.

All right, well, I'm not sure
we need the full extent.

Well, you're getting them.

I am also going to terminate
my contract with FSN.

I am sorry for all of the drama
that Alex am has caused you.

Are you serious? FSN

is Alexam's biggest
revenue producer,

and to have my daughter's brand
support mine

means the world, but...

a deal is a deal.

And I will be exiting
both of your lives...

permanently.

I have hired
a second car

to take you back to Atlanta.

Did you really play
Emily in Our Town?

I did.

And the Stage Manager
was terrible.

Maybe she really did
come and see me.

Hey, why aren't you outside
enjoying the party?

I graciously offered
to cover the phones

so Nurse Julia
could get some hors d'oeuvres.

But don't worry. There are
some real professionals nearby.

Oh, that's bad. You missed the
nurses getting their new cars.

And the patients

soaking in the sun... it's...

it's quite the sight.

I don't know
how you did it, but

thank you
for making outside happen.

It was nothing.

Just pulled
a few hard-to-reach strings.

But if you're happy,
it was worth it.

You know, even through all the
craziness these past few years,

you've been a great friend.

Okay.

I need to tell you something

that's been eating me up inside.

I knew about Blake
owning Colby Co. Months ago,

and I didn't tell you.

Are you kidding?

You know, I was
in such an awkward position

between you
and Amanda and Blake.

I hope you understand.

Actually, I don't.

You saw me flailing
and didn't say a thing.

I feel awful.

But I'm telling you now,
aren't I?

It's part of my commitment
to rigorous honesty.

Well, here's some
rigorous honesty for you.

You took Blake's side,

and you're six months too late.

Okay, Hans, take
the less scenic route

and hand me the cookies.
I'm going back alone.

Your car will be here
any second.

We canceled it.

Also, I've accepted

your resignation,

and the advertisers are already
reacting positively.

And although I don't love
that I didn't know the truth

growing up,
I appreciate

that you did what
you thought was best

for my adoptive parents
and... for me.

Even though we still
have issues with you,

there's no denying
that you love us,

albeit in your own twisted,
abduct-y kind of way.

So, are you coming back with me?

We started this trip together,

so we should end it
the same way.

And you were right.

We were actually being
a little bit selfish, too.

And even though Adam

probably will never
speak to you again...

Which I think you should
be very grateful for...

You're stuck with us.

Can I have a hug now?

No, no.
Baby steps, please.

Okay. I get it.

You might not always
like your mom,

but she will always love you.

Hit it, Hans.

♪ Tomorrow, tomorrow

♪ I love ya tomorrow

♪ You're always a day

♪ Away.

I'm telling you,

Ryan was very convincing.

Yeah, well, at least one
person's getting rave reviews.

What's wrong?

We just got a run
of one-star Yelp reviews.

And I'm pretty sure I know

there's only one group of people
who would call La Mirage

"unfriendly to businesses."

Bianca and friends.

Exactly.

I'm gonna make a preemptive call

to our tech billionaire
before he gets online.

All right.

What? No, no, no, no, no.

Hey.Hey.

Back for an encore?

Actually,

um, I was wondering

if you'd seen
those handcuffs anywhere.

They're sort of a key element
of my show.

Uh, no,
but I could ask housekeeping.

Oh.

Though it might be
a little less embarrassing

if I just reimburse you
for a new pair.

Uh, thanks. I can buy my own.

Um, really, it was just
an excuse to see you again.

Oh.

Well, you don't need an excuse.

It's always good to see you.

Well, I am really glad

that we reconnected.

Mm, even if it was
in the strangest way possible.

But, um... I missed you.

Yeah. Me, too.

Yeah?

You know, it was killing me

not to pull off
those breakaway pants

when we were in the hotel room.

Oh. Oh.

Well, I wanted to use those
handcuffs on you, not Liam.

Really?
Mm-hmm.

Room is still available.Oh.

And I'm sure we can think
of many other fun things

to do without the handcuffs.

After you.

You're still here.

Uh, they shifted
my flight by a day.

I'm leaving
in the morning, though.

Just what I need
after a long trip.

Mm.You read my mind.

So, how'd it go?

You're still alive.
That's a good sign.

Hmm. They made it back, right?

Yes, everyone make it back
safe and sound.

And I do think
I made some progress

getting my daughters
to understand me better.

Hmm. I couldn't have done it
without your help.

I am so grateful for the life
we are building together.

Don't worry.
I'm not going anywhere.

Until tomorrow morning.

Now sit down,
eat your carbonara.

Then I will help you unpack.

Oh, I do hope that means
the clothes off my back.

That's exactly
what I meant.

Look, I'm really sorry

for using your name
like that.

I promise it's not
gonna happen again.

Is that the best apology
you can give?

Because you could have

put my job in jeopardy,

and now I have
to do damage control.

So I'm sorry if I'm still
a little bit angry.

Well, you know what? So am I.
Jeff is pissed at me

for not telling him about Blake
owning those Colby Co. Assets,

which I only kept a secret
to protect you.

So you forcing me to lie

to Jeff is what started
this whole chain

of events in the first place.

That is quite the rationale
for what you did.

I can see why Alexis says
you're so dramatic.

Whoa.

So you and Alexis...

What? You're just
like best friends

who talk
about me behind my back?

Well, she's my mother,
and you're my girlfriend,

who should probably sleep
in her own room tonight.

Yeah, I don't disagree.
Oh, by the way,

here's your necklace.

Yeah,
the whole thing sounds awful.

Well, I mean,

it was and it wasn't.

Alexis revealed things
she never had before, which

sounds like
she's maybe maturing.

Well, it's never too late
to become a real mom.

I guess,
in her own way,

she was just always trying to do
what she thought was best.

Alexis wasn't
the greatest mother, but...

she mothered.

Anyway, enough of all
this touchy-feely crap.

What's been going on here?

Oh. Nothing.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely nothing.

- Did you hear from your editor?
- No, no. Not yet.

Probably tomorrow.

Oh, well, I'm not worried.

I know they're going to love it.

Did you do
a little shopping? Hmm?

Oh, yeah. I stopped

at the adult toy store.

Thought maybe we could
have some fun tonight.

I love that.

I will handcuff you

and pretend
to be your biggest fan.

Wait, you're not my biggest fan?

You know what I mean.

It'll be just like Misery,

but without the ankle-breaking
and all the blood.

Wow. You really know
how to set the mood.

It's always hard when someone
isn't who you think they are.

Yeah.

I just thought
Kirby was someone I could trust.

You know? Especially when
it comes to Blake Car ring ton.

But you know what?

I would rather talk about us.

Us? Mm-hmm.

Do you think
this could be going somewhere?

Mm. Absolutely.

To my bedroom?

I can go fire up

And I'll be
right behind you.

I just need to make
a quick work call.

Okay.

Things are going according
to plan,

but I'm gonna need some time

to figure out
where the information is.

Relax, Richard.

Plenexia will get what we need.

You did the right thing.

Our government contract
was reinstated,

and PPA is back
in good standing with the FAA.

I may have done the right thing,

but you don't need
to revel in it.

I'm not.

But I do find it interesting

that you didn't take
these problems seriously

before PPA was threatened.

We're supposed to be partners. We are.

But as long
as we're talking about it,

it sure doesn't feel that way
lately.

That's because, deep down,

it's about your interests,
not ours.

Hey.

The hospital called.
They just fired me.

What? Yeah, so I don't know
what the plan is,

but that press conference
did not instill

much confidence in me.

So if you've got something
up your sleeve,

let me know about it.

I won't be calling the hospital
to get your job back

or bribing anyone
on your behalf.

The bailouts are over.

Okay. I'm sorry.

Look, I know there's been a lot,

but this is just
a momentary setback.

Once we get past this,
then we're back to normal.

It's not happening.

It's my fault for coddling you.

So what, then? You're just gonna
hang me out to dry?

You can look at it that way.

This is for your own good.

You're on your own now.

It's time for you

- to move out of the manor.
- Wait. What? Are you serious?

You are a liability
we can no longer afford.

Dad,

please don't do this.

My mind is made up.

You need to be out
by the end of the week.
