-Hey.

-Hi.

-You're late.

-Yeah, sorry. the trains were late, and there was a family blocking the sidewalks.

Okay, Dory, what's the plan?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, Dory, how are we going to get thousands and thousands of dollars to April by tonight?

Right.

So what if... we... blackmail April?

Well, how?

Right, well, I haven't exactly figured out that

"how we blackmail her" part, but I just know that she's done something terrible.

I mean, her lifestyle alone is, like, psychotic.

And, you know, so, I thought, when I said blackmail, just kind of bring it up, and then we'd start coming up with ideas, you know?

Okay, what kind of information could we possibly get on April that would be worse than m*rder?

Well, I don't think we should be shutting down ideas so quickly and judging them too harshly.

You know, I think we need to feel open to just kind of, like, brainstorming freely.

You know what I mean?

I'm so sorry I didn't create a safe space for you.

Is that your only idea?

No, I have another one, too.

The other one is, um, the other is -- is -- is -- is, yeah, like, accumulating -- just accumulating, um, money.

Dory, you need to be realistic.

We have 16 hours to get $100,000 to an insane person, or we're all going to jail.

Babe, I'm sorry, but you're acting delusional.

I lay awake at night thinking about how our lives are going to be taken away from us because Dory wanted to feel special.

It's so selfish, and it's so pathetic.

Well, I --

I just feel like we're all in this a little too deep to, you know, we -- we still have to figure this out together.

There is no "we."

We're not, like, a team for life, Dory.

I can't. I can't.

Wait, where are you going?

I think we should all just sort out our own affairs in the event that this is...the end.

[ Clears throat ]

I'm going to go, too.

I'm just going to pretend like none of this is happening.

You know I'll figure something out, though.

Right?

[ Applause ]

Thanks.

Stop, it's...

Thanks.

Hey! Oh, sorry.

Hey, I'm really glad you're okay, Joy.

You got lucky.

Yeah, yeah, that was scary.

Hey, so listen. That girl you called in is here, but, just so you know, she's sobbing like crazy.

[ Sobbing ]

-Okay.

-Yeah. She's back there.

Thanks.

[ Sobbing ]

I'm so sorry for lying.

It's just --

It's just -- it's embarrassing that nobody was after me, like, no one -- nobody even wants me.

So, um, if you weren't running from anyone, what were you doing?

I was just resting.

I was really burnt out.

It's just what my heart needed to heal.

I need to ask you a very, very important question, okay?

Mm-hmm.

Were your four friends, Dory Sief, Drew Gardner...

Ugh, Drew!

...Elliott Goss and Portia Davenport with you on the night of May 26th, or was that part made up, too?

No, they were there.

They were there?

Mm-hmm.

Okay. That is good.

That's good.

[ Sighs shakily ]

That is great news.

So I'm not in trouble for lying?

Oh, my God. No. No!

Absolutely not. I mean, as long as your friends were with you that night in New Hampshire, that's all I care about.

Okay. Well, as long as I'm being completely honest...

Yeah.

...um...

I wasn't in a dirty old motel in New Hampshire.

I was in a mansion in Canada.

In Montreal?

Yeah.

God damn it, Chantal!

What is wrong with you?

I'm sorry.

They told me to lie!

And everybody believed it, and then my parents felt bad for me, so they gave me all of the reward money, and if they find out that I was lying, they're going to want to ask for it back, and it's almost gone.

I rented a sailboat.

I'm so stupid.

[ Sobbing ]

[ Coffee sputters ]

Come on.

Calm down, Gardner.

It's just coffee.

Are you pissed you didn't get the Shanghai job?

I didn't?

No, man. Alan got it.

It's his last day.

Did you sign the box?

Everybody has to sign the box of cupcakes.

This company is a family.

Yeah, sure is.

-Dory, Dory!

-Oh, my God.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

God, Julian, what are you doing here?

Dory, I need to talk to you.

Um, I'm freaking out, and it's kind of, like, a moral crisis, and are you about to go back to the office?

I actually was going to skip it.

I don't really have time to add something else to my day.

Can I just, um, can I -- can I show you something, please?

-Sure.

-Come here.

Look at that.

-What? What -- what is this?

-That's Mary.

Oh.

She sent those to me.

She's trying to seduce me.

Well, I mean, are -- are you going to report her?

I don't know! God, I hate feeling powerless!

She's doing this weird racial sh*t, and if I speak up against it, then I probably won't have a job for the rest of my life because you know how that sh*t works out.

Well, you -- you're just going to let it keep happening to you?

Dory, I don't know what to do.

Do you think you can make money off of something like this?

Dory, I -- I don't know.

I don't know. Maybe.

I mean, I know the guy who found the "Grab them by the p*ssy" tape is rich now, but he gets death threats every day of his life.

-Wow.

-Jesus. I am so confused.

Look, just...

-Yeah.

Um, I'll just let you go, I guess.

I don't really have many people or friends I can trust, so, you know, thank you for hearing me out.

Wait, Julian, Julian, wait up! Wait up!

I -- I -- I'm going to --

I'm going to go to the office with you.

I thought you said you had something...

No, I -- I can do that stuff later.

Come on.

You need me. Let's go.

[ Keyboard clacking ]

Um, hi.

This is kind of my desk now.

Could you move?

Would you mind switching?

Because I'm just kind of in the flow here, and I just don't want to break.

Um, yeah, okay.

Mm-hmm. Sure.

-Thanks. Thank you.

Thanks.

So, um, I have been thinking about this play that you've created.

-We've created.

-Right, we've created.

And the -- this play, um, truly means so much to me, so I can't believe...

God, I can't believe that I'm going to say what I'm going to say.

I -- I think I need to --

I need to leave the play.

No, you -- you're not going to leave the play.

I, um... just have a lot of things going on in my life right now that are really big, and I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen.

Mm-hmm.

And I -- I really wish I could tell you.

I -- I just can't because you wouldn't understand.

Portia, I understand everything about you.

No, but this is, um, this is, like, very, very, very personal and very, like, dangerous.

If you're in trouble, I --

I want to help you.

I'm so scared you're not going to look at me the same way that you look at me.

I'm so scared that you're going to think I'm bad.

I would die before I'd betray you.

We can't do that.

Yup.

I know 15 of these women, and they're each a national treasure.

What? I hate her.

Elliott, no. Not this time.

I'm with Luke now, and I'm really happy.

We're so happy.

I'm sorry.

You are smart and chosen and so insanely special, and I celebrate your soul, okay?

And I want us to be in love forever, even if, like, one of us, like, goes to jail or something.

Like, if you went to jail, like, I would totally just still want to be with you.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

You wanted to see me, sir?

[ Inhales deeply ]

Drew... do you want the Shanghai job?

Oh, I mean, y-- yes, sir, very much so.

I mean, as I've previously stated, I would very much appreciate taking this position, assuming, of course, if Alan is -- is no longer going.

And do you want it so badly that you told Alan that I had a big fat d*ck, and then you planted Magnum condoms in Alan's wife's purse, and then you wrote, "I had sex with your wife" on Alan's cupcakes? Huh?

No, sir, I don't -- I don't --

I don't think I did that.

You're fired, Drew.

So, if you witnessed a peaceful transaction, what in your mind made Mr. Medici want to sh**t you?

Right.

[ Clears throat ]

Um...

Mr. Medici had a very... predatory essence, and when he heard me coming down the stairs, he said, "Who's there?" in a -- in a very, very male tone.

You know what I mean.

Mm.

And, before I knew it, we were in a confrontation, and so I said, "Sir, I just want to know what you know about Keith Powell."

And he said, "What I know about Keith Powell is that he's dead, and I k*lled him."

And, um... then he sh*t me.

And I wish I didn't have to sh**t him...

...but I did.

I'm happy you're okay, and I'm happy you did your job right.

Thank you.

No, should I?

Well, she's about to be a senator, okay?

And she's involved in a sex scandal, and I have proof.

So?

So a lot of people would pay more than what you're asking for to have it.

Let me see.

This is how you're going to get the money.

Like, when I was 5, I would've loved a bed.

Can you understand that?

You deserve every moment of your suffering.

Why can't you just take your money and be happy and just leave us alone?

I can, and I will.

I'll take my money, and I'll be happy.

But I will always know who you are and what you did, and I will never leave you guys alone, ever.
