05x11 - I'll Settle for a Prayer

Post by bunniefuu »

♪ Whoo, yeah, yeah ♪

♪ Whoo, yeah, yeah ♪

♪ Here we go... ♪

Good morning, beautiful people.

Oh, someone's in a good mood.

Or hit the wet bar a little too early.

You ever have one of those mornings

where you wake up, the sun is shining

and you just say to yourself,

"Wow, life's good"?

It's great, even.

I've lost my appetite.

Whoa. What's not great

are those dark circles under your eyes.

No offense, Sam, but you look terrible.

I'm scheduling facials for us later.

Don't bother. I'm busy.

What's going on with him?

He usually loves a good
milk and honey detox.

Uh, maybe, but he probably doesn't love

being told he looks terrible.

Especially when he's
been in the hospital

with his dying father
the last few nights.

Daniel's dying?

Why didn't you guys say anything?

Well, we thought you knew.

No, I didn't know.

And now I feel awful.

Does he need anything?

Probably just the
support of his friends.

Yeah, yeah, I know that,
I'm just trying to think

of something a little more tangible

and less time-consuming.

Okay, well, I'll think of something.
Oh, my God...

Well, speaking of feeling awful,
how's living with Alexis?

It's actually been going quite well.

I feel like we've finally
settled into a nice dynamic

based on honesty and respect.

Honesty and respect?
You know I said Alexis, right?

Because you should proceed with caution.

She's not exactly known for
putting her children first.

That's funny, 'cause she, uh,

she said a similar thing about you.

Wait, is it true that you left Adam

in a Moldavian prison?

'Cause I get it, he's no prize,

but seems a little bit harsh, no?

Yeah, I would say so.

Which is why it never happened.

This is just another example

of why you should take
everything Alexis says

with a bucket of salt.

- (PHONE CHIMES)
- Oh, let me guess.

That's probably her wondering
what you're doing here.

No, it's actually Kirby.

Oh, I didn't know you two were friends.

Yeah, we've been, um...

getting closer these days,

and... uh, she's just been
really supportive

and she's so funny and pretty...

...smart.

Pretty smart. So, yeah, we're friends.

Well, that makes me happy.

You know, her father was
the best friend I ever had.

As a matter of fact,
if he was here right now,

he could tell you some
stories about Alexis

that you just would not believe.

Jeff Colby.

What an unwelcome surprise.

Okay, I don't have time
for unpleasantries.

Plenexia's open house is
just a few hours away,

and I still don't have the
invite you promised me.

You mean... (GASPS) this invite?

Not so fast.

Do you know how terrible of an idea

it is to steal a drug formula?

You will get caught and
you'll get put in jail.

Actually, wait,
now I'm thinking about it.

That might not be the worst thing.

Nobody will be able to
trace this back to me, okay?

Once I have the formula,

I'll post it open-source,

so that other companies
can make the drug

for what it should cost.

A leak at this level will
cause immediate damage.

Plenexia will lose business
and investors will lose faith.

And you've lost my attention.

Just make sure I get my Bokocho extract

- when you're done.
- You mean when we're done.

No, I'm-I'm not getting roped
into some James Bond sideshow.

You're an invited guest who
won't raise any red flags.

I need your help to make this happen,

and if I don't succeed?

I'll eat those plants

before I give them back to you.

So, your call.

NINA: We have a fashion emergency.

MICHAEL: Well, I wouldn't call
it an emergency, but yeah,

you could try wearing a
dress every once in a while.

Sexism. Charming.

We do have a dress problem, though.

Our off-the-runway dress from Milan

is held up in customs.

So? We'll just get one locally.

Right. But this dress
needs to be brand-new,

from an up-and-coming designer
and here by this afternoon.

Oh, and cheap,
since there's no money left

for it in our wardrobe budget
thanks to your girlfriend

- being in the movie.
- Okay, what about

the magazine deal we made,
for first-look pictures

of Janelle as Farrah?

That's what we need the dress for.

The money from that deal is
our entire marketing budget.

We don't see a cent until
after they get the pictures.

But I have a solution.

So there's not a fashion emergency?
Got it.

Well, there won't be,
once you call your old costar Dominique.

Please tell me you did not see

the House of Deveraux reality show.

Well, I don't know whose house
you two were having sex in,

but I only saw, like, two seconds of it

and then turned it off.

I would contact her myself,

but I'm not as intimate
with her as you are.

You know, since only one of
us made a sex tape with her.

Okay, that's enough.
That's not happening.

- But...
- But I have an in with the designers

who used to dress the
acts at Club Colby.

What kind of dress do we need?

Something a touch conservative,

but the stitching
needs to be impeccable.

A reference would be Spring .

You have no idea
what I'm talking about, do you?

Not a clue.
Text me the info and I will reach out.

- Today.
- Yes.

Thank you.

And on the playground, I used to pretend

like I was this really
important business owner,

and I would hold my lunch
box like a briefcase

and boss all of the other kids around.

I'm sorry I missed that,

but at least I got to see
you do the real thing.

And you're still pretty bossy.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(COUGHING)

(SIGHS)

It's not as bad as it sounds.

I think I'm even
starting to feel better.

How about another story, huh?

Well, there was the first time

I got into competitive karaoke.

Hmm.

Though that got ugly
after we got to the, uh,

REO Speedwagon section.

SIMMS: Mr. Jones?

Can I speak with you for a moment?

SAM: Anything new?

SIMMS: Unfortunately, no.

There's really nothing we
can do for your father now

but keep him comfortable.

N-No, he...
he just told me he's feeling better.

Maybe he's turning a corner?

He's probably trying
to be brave for you.

But that's not changing
the way this ends.

His cancer has spread all over.

How long does he have?

A few weeks at the most,

but more likely, a few days.

I wish I had better news.

Drinking Scotch this early
only means one thing.

Alexis, right?

She's still trying to
poison me in Amanda's eyes.

I had to lie to her this morning.

Why can't Alexis

just shut her trap and stop doling out

terrible secrets like Halloween candy?

Well, maybe if you did
fewer terrible things

there would be fewer secrets?

Cristal, y-you beautiful genius.

I'll look bad if I bad-mouth Alexis,

so I'll go the other way,
like Michelle Obama.

One of the only times a Democrat

had a good idea.

Alexis goes low, I'll go high.

I don't think you should
compare yourself to Michelle.

Of course not. Michelle's not
even in my league, but this,

this is perfect.

I'll elevate myself
instead of denigrating

that venomous snake.

Toning down the insults might
be a good starting point.

Duly noted,
I'm just getting it out before I start.

Do you think that I should set up

some more father-daughter mani-pedis?

Amanda's a little too smart
to be swayed by a spa day.

She needs to feel useful,
not like a Barbie doll.

FALLON: I just came to apologize,

and to make sure you're okay.

I would've never been so
insensitive over breakfast

had I known.

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm sorry I didn't stop my bedside vigil

to update you on my dying father,

but maybe we can
discuss it over facials.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that part, too.

Fallon, my father is dying,

and my mother won't return my calls,

so my big plan to reunite them

before Daniel passes
away isn't happening.

I'm gonna spend this time with him,

and not trying to make
you feel less guilty.

This is not about you.

I know exactly what
I'm gonna do for Sam.

I am gonna find Iris
and bring her back here

before Daniel dies.

Didn't Sam just tell you
not to make this about you?

Oh, he'll thank me when it's over.

Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

Now let's go find

the woman who kidnapped
me and who knows,

maybe we'll kidnap her back.

♪ ♪

(GROANS)

Okay, don't get mad,
I'm just not entirely clear

on why we're flying to Idaho.

I knew you weren't listening.

The last time

Iris was in Atlanta, she kidnapped me

on Alejandro's orders.

But after he d*ed, she was still worried

that people were gonna come after her.

So Cristal gave her some
money from my ransom

to start a new life.

- How does that help us?
- Well,

Iris didn't know that she had a
bag of marked bills, but I did.

So I had my PI trace that money

to a very large donation made
to a church in Covington, Idaho.

And apparently,

he got a tip that somebody

saw her leaving a motel nearby.

And that's kind of where
the trail ran cold.

So Iris is in Covington. Got it.

Well, you know, she may be in Covington.

But at the very least,
that should lead us to our next clue.

We all have to do is talk
to the priest in charge

and find out what he knows.

Okay, so recap, we're going to a church

to look for a woman who
doesn't want to be found

to help someone who doesn't
want you meddling in his life.

I don't recall asking for a recap.

And you're gonna need a
big attitude adjustment

if we're going to have
any fun on this trip.

Mmm.

What's the big emergency?

You made it sound like
time was of the essence.

Mainly because you kept saying
"time is of the essence."

It is. I'm meeting some
high-level British executives

about a business deal, and I need

a crash course in...

...high tea etiquette.

Um, okay, well, we may need to discuss

our definition of "emergency" later,
but, uh,

as your resident expert
in all things British,

I'm at your service.

So let's begin with the first
and most important rule of all,

which is pinky down.

Never up. Oh, and you should
hold the cup by the handle.

Okay, that's a start. Next up, the stir.

You have to make sure that you never

clink the inside of the cup.

That's considered rude.

See? You're a natural.

Don't shortchange your teaching skills.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Mmm.

You know, I...
I miss seeing you more often.

I feel like I saw you a lot
when we were working together.

Well, that was two days.

True, but I saw you both days.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Maybe you could consult

for PPA, like, on an as-needed basis?

Well, I'm happy to help you
with anything you need...

and I am gonna bill you for the tea...

but, um, I hope you know

that you don't have to pay me
to have father-daughter time.

Well, even better.

So, do you really enjoy
staying at the penthouse?

- Because if you ever...
- ALEXIS: I didn't realize Queen Elizabeth

was in town.

This is quite a spread. Or is it for me?

Most definitely not.
So what are you doing here?

Amanda was in such a rush to get here,
she forgot her keys.

These keys?

Oh. I guess these are mine.

So, what's going on?

I'm just giving Blake
an emergency lesson

in high tea etiquette.

Oh, isn't that interesting?

Since we took a trip to London
and had high tea every day.

I don't remember that.

Yes, well, I've wiped every memory

of our marriage as well.

I do love a scone, though.

- I'll join you...
- (GRUNTS)

Last one.

Hmm.

Don't choke. (CHUCKLES)

I just hope this thing between
Farrah and I didn't make you

- rush into anything.
- CUTLER: How so?

It's just, she might not be as
excited about this as you are.

(LAUGHS) She's wearing my ring.

I'm good, bro.

Great. Cut. Moving on.

Hey, you got a sec?

For Cutler? Anything.

- (MOCK LAUGH)
- I still can't believe

this character is based on you.

Although now I understand

why you kept pushing
for the hottest actor.

Were you in, like,
way better shape five years ago?

If you're done,
I'm here about actual business.

An up-and-coming designer

sent over a dress and it's
here waiting to be opened.

They say it's avant-gard-ish,

but they sent over their finest, so...

You clearly don't know

what avant-garde means, do you?

Apparently, it means "inappropriate."

Wow.

After Plenexia's chemist gave
me the location of the formula,

I got my hands on the
technical blueprints

of their headquarters.

Turns out, the formula's stored

on a temperature-controlled hard drive

in a lab only accessible
by fingerprint tech.

Great. So, whose finger are we using?

I mean, a mid-party amputation,

it sounds conspicuous,

but could be fun.

We just need a print, relax.

Once I'm inside the computer room,

I won't have enough
time to hack the data,

so I'll steal the hard drive
and do the rest from here.

And we're supposed to do all
this without anyone noticing

that we're walking out with
a supercomputer party favor?

It's a small hard drive.
And this will work.

Are we sure that's not
the neurotoxicity talking?

I'm gonna try my best
not to strangle you

for the next few hours.

Now, all that's left

is to find out what's for dessert.

Can we not just have
some candy before we go?

You'll understand later.

I don't have a lot of time,
we're about to begin

our choir rehearsal.

Oh, no worries, Padre.
This'll only take a moment.

We're just wondering if
you remember a very large

cash donation made several years ago?

Like, way larger than you'd think
for a church in Idaho?

Possibly from someone
named Iris Machado.

Does that ring any bells?

I'm sorry, the name doesn't,

but I do remember the donation.

Uh, it's very rare that we're
blessed by such a large sum,

but it was made anonymously.

And you're sure? No Iris Machado?

I said I'm sure.
I'm sorry I could not be

of more help to you, especially since

you've come such a long way.

But you can find your way
back to your car, I'm sure?

Yes, and if not,
then God will show us the way.

Mm.

Well, that was no help.

Maybe there's another
priest inside there

with a better memory?

My God, I can't believe we
took a wasted trip to Idaho

and it's not even ski season.

Well, I'm not sure I agree
with you on that one.

Look, as an award-winning

- investigative journalist...
- Lame, stop.

...I've learned early on that everyone

has a tell when they're lying.

Padre Romero kept adjusting
his robes when he was talking.

So, clearly he was nervous
and he knows more

- than he's letting on.
- Ooh.

I knew I brought you for a reason.

So Iris is in there somewhere.

- I just have to get inside and find her.
- What?

I wasn't suggesting we
break into a church,

or that Iris is even in this state.

I'm just the padre knows
more than he's telling us.

Don't second-guess yourself.
Take yes for an answer.

Look, this is the only lead,

and Daniel is running out of time.

So, what's the best way
to sneak into a church

without offending God?

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

I am so glad that you're here.
I wanted to tell you

not to stress about the dress?

Don't worry, I took care of it.

You did?

Wow, nicely done.

Glad you like it.
It's one of my favorites.

I still don't know why
you didn't call me in the first place.

NINA: Nothing he does
really makes sense to me.

I didn't call you because I know
you don't do anything for free,

or anything that doesn't help Dom.

But it does help me.

Dressing Janelle Crowley
will be great press

for my NordicStar Airlines competition.

Besides, I hear I'm all you've got.

You're right about that.
So I guess we're doing this.

I should have a
photographer sh**t my work.

Mm, no, no.
That is the one thing you cannot do.

We made a first-look deal
with a magazine for Janelle.

So no pictures of her in that dress.

- Okay, fine.
- Can you please

just try and behave?

Anything you do is a reflection on me.

LIAM: I'm not sure this is gonna work.

Is there a plan B?

FALLON: No need for a plan
B. I'll blend in perfectly.

Wow.

That is one bad habit.

I know, it's a little more fun than nun,

but it's all they had
at the costume store.

(GASPS) Okay. Here they are.
I'll be back soon.

Hi.

Leave the judgment to God, okay, Sister?

BLAKE: I've got coffee.

AMANDA: How did you know?
I've been trapped in here for hours.

It's not high tea,
but I thought it would sweeten the deal.

I have some PPA documents

I was hoping you could take a look at,

although it looks like
you've got a lot to do here.

No, I would be happy to.

Uh, you could've just sent these over.

Yeah, I know, but I wanted

to tell you about an idea I had.

I'd like to throw a party

in honor of Kirby when she gets back.

Oh, I didn't realize
you two were so close.

Oh, no, we're not,
but I-I know that you are,

and I want to do something nice for her

after the rough year she's had.

Well, I think it's a great idea.
That's very sweet.

Oh, speaking of,
do you have any sugar...

Wow.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Oh, one more thing.

I'm sure you know this,
but it's probably best

if you didn't tell your mother
about this little celebration.

Alexis? Why?

Oh, maybe you don't know.

Um, Alexis doesn't

exactly have a soft spot for Kirby.

They've had some issues...
You know what?

It is not my place to
tell tales out of school.

Well, maybe not,
but it is important to me

to know the full story.

Well, uh, if you insist...

Aha!

Iris Machado. I knew it.

Fallon Carrington?

What are you doing here?

And what are you wearing?

I don't really have a lot of time,

so I'm just gonna cut to the chase.

Sam has been trying to reach you.

Daniel Ruiz...

his actual father...

came to visit Atlanta, and he and Sam

have been building a relationship.

Which is great.

But Daniel also has terminal cancer.

Which is not great.

So I need you to come
back to Atlanta with me

before it's too late.

Have you been getting
any of Sam's messages?

We're discouraged from using phones.

- It's .
- Yes, but...

Before you lie again,

I'm pretty sure that's a sin, right?

You're right.

I did get Sam's calls.

But I made my choice
and I'm staying here.

Now, if you'll excuse me...

It's only fair.
I mean, you did hold me hostage first.

I can't face them.

I let Sam be raised
by an abusive father,

and I deprived Daniel
of a beautiful son.

They'll never forgive me.

And I know in my heart
that God led me here.

But your family needs you.

All I've ever brought them is pain.

But I'm helping people
with the work I do here.

And who am I to argue with God?

I made a promise,
and I'm not going to break it.

Richard Payne.
Just the CEO I was looking for.

Dr. Carrington.

Thank you for saving me.

Prudence from HR has
been talking my ear off.

Ooh, hope you're not in trouble.

Anyway, we just made
a huge distribution deal

with one of our wholesalers,
and we've got

some new medication for
your hospital to stock.

Well, I'd be more than
happy to set up a meeting

with the powers that be,
but it sounds like a slam dunk.

Just count us in.

- Perfect.
- And, uh, this is

a show of appreciation
from the hospital.

- Pre-embargo Cubans?
- Mm-hmm.

RICHARD: You've got good taste,
Carrington.

Well, what can I say? So, uh,

you want to go enjoy one
of these bad boys outside?

- Absolutely.
- Cool. After you.

- So, what's our plan B?
- You said we didn't need one.

What have you been doing in
this car this whole time?

Okay, look, we just need to find a way

to get super-churchy Iris out of here.

You don't think this
is all just some act

- so she can keep hiding out?
- No.

Clearly, she feels guilty about the way

she left things with Sam and Daniel,

but she also thinks God wants her here.

Although I'm pretty sure God
has an office in Atlanta, too.

Saying God wants anything is ridiculous.
It's all fiction.

- Do you not believe in God?
- What, you do?

Of course I do.

Have we really never
had this discussion?

I guess not.

Okay, yeah, and sure,
I believe in some kind of God,

just seems that only bad things
come from organized religion.

Wait, so you don't want
to baptize our baby

in one of those cute little gowns?

(LAUGHS):
I hadn't really thought about it.

Y... But dunking our baby in dirty water

so they have a sh*t at
gaining access to an afterlife

with some dude in the sky

doesn't really seem
like a good idea to me.

Also, you're not even pregnant yet.

Fair point.

Although, for someone
who doesn't believe in God,

you sure don't have a problem

calling out His name when we're in bed.

Okay, also a fair point.

Okay, clearly, we have more to discuss,
but for right now,

I'm gonna need you to
put your beliefs aside

and get your Jesus on.

So listen very carefully.

You're very quiet.

If you think I look awful in these,
you should say so.

I can take the criticism,

because we still have
time for retouching.

So?

So, um...
I heard that Kirby was on dr*gs.

What's the story behind that?

(COUGHS)

Wow, um, didn't see that one coming.

Uh, yes, unfortunately, that's true.

Though not surprising.

Okay, and just out of curiosity,

did you have anything to do with that?

What exactly are you accusing me of?

- Being her drug pusher?
- No, of course not.

I'm just saying,
Kirby and I are getting closer,

and I would like to hear about her past.

Well, I hate to be
the bearer of bad news,

but Kirby is the bad news.

She's a troubled girl.
It's really very sad.

Okay, well,
is it true that you persuaded

her ex-boyfriend to just show
up and start making problems?

Where is this coming from?
Did Kirby tell you about it?

Okay.

Yes, that is true.

But I was protecting Adam.

I can't be held responsible

for Kirby jumping back into old habits.

Just take my advice: keep your distance.

Okay, but she's changed.
I mean, she's sober now.

Does she not deserve a second chance?

More like a nd chance.

Look, you know I don't like to
say bad things about people.

- (CHUCKLES)
- At night.

But Kirby is rotten to the core.

And that kind of fruit
doesn't ripen, it spoils.

What exactly is it you see in her?

She's been a really good friend.

It's your life.
You can be friends with anyone you want.

But you should know that Kirby
is not allowed in the penthouse.

She would probably steal
everything and sell it for

heroin and PCP.

Okay, I think that's a little
bit extreme, don't you?

Well, if it were up to me,
that ex of hers would have taken her

back to Australia where she belongs.

Wow. Feel like I'm
finally seeing the Alexis

I've heard so much about.

And I don't particularly like the view.

Well... (SIGHS)

Hey, I need your help. I think someone's

trying to break into the
office down the hall?

Can you...? Yeah, come on.

(DOOR CLICKS OPEN)

Here we go.

- We have a problem.
- At this point,

you should print that on a T-shirt.

Someone leaked multiple photos

from set to the online tabloids.

So? All publicity is good publicity

as long as they spell your name right.

Photos of Janelle in Dominique's dress.

The photos People magazine
was going to pay money for.


And I'm guessing they won't pay as much

for second-look exclusives.

Now you're getting it. We need to look

into where the leak started

and stop it immediately.

I don't think we'll
have to look too far.

Excuse me.

So I went out on a limb for you,

asked you to behave, and you just
couldn't help yourself.

Are you doing some kind of scene
or something? Because I'm lost.

The only one acting here would be you.

Who else could benefit from this?

From what?

The photo leak.

I told you you couldn't
hire a photographer.

Yet somehow, a photo of Janelle

in your dress ended up in the tabloids.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

I told you I wouldn't take any pictures.

As usual, you were only
looking out for yourself.

- You're fired.
- Michael, you are making a mistake.

Leave,
or I'll have someone escort you out.

Good evening, my child.

Oh.

Hello, Father...?

Nicholas.
I'm visiting from a parish in the north.

- Minnesota.
- I didn't realize

we had any visiting clergy.

Welcome.

You seem troubled.

I noticed you lighting a candle.

Was it for anyone specific?

You have good intuition.

I'm worried about my family.

I haven't seen them in years.

You've left someone behind?

Family is one of the most
important things that we have.

In fact, the very foundation of religion

is rooted in the Holy Family.

A father,

a mother, a child.

Perhaps you can visit them?

I know it can be scary to face the past,

but maybe they need you right now.

Thank you,

but I'm afraid my sins run too
deep for their forgiveness.

For now, I'll settle for a prayer.

This may surprise you.

But even I've struggled
with religion in the past.

I feared disappointing
people in my life.

My family, my priest, my God.

But there's a verse from, uh...

from Sunday school that I
always try to remind myself of.

"For if you forgive
men their trespasses,

your heavenly Father
will also forgive you."

In other words, forgive,

and you'll be forgiven.

Even if it's yourself
you have to forgive.

I hope these words bring you the
same comfort they've brought me.

I'm so sorry. I guess he got away.

Could have been a maintenance man.

You know, if his uniform was brighter,
I'd be able to tell.

MAN (OVER RADIO): Attention:
we've got a - in progress.

A silent alarm tripped
in computer lab .

Cameras spotted a man
leaving with a green cooler.

(LOUD, OVERLAPPING CROWD CHATTER)

Check everyone with a green cooler!

That hard drive does
not leave the premises.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't realize you were hungry.

I would've saved you the last bite.

Amanda! This was a pleasant surprise.

We weren't expecting to see you tonight.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Um, I'm sorry for showing up so late,

and I know that this
is a huge imposition,

but I was just wondering
if I could maybe stay here

for a little while?

Trouble in penthouse paradise?

Yeah, Alexis and I
are not seeing eye to eye

on certain things, and I just think
we need some time apart.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that,

though I do understand the feeling.

Sometimes we just don't know
our parents like we think we do.

But you can talk to me
anytime you need to.

Thank you both so much.

It's actually nice to have people

that I can really rely on.

I just have to go and get the rest
of my things from the penthouse.

Don't you worry about that.

I'll send someone tomorrow morning

to gather the rest of your things.

You just make yourself comfortable here.

Would you show Amanda
to the Rose room, please?

She's gonna be staying
there for the time being.

Thank you.

Well, you did it.

Amanda's moving in.

Seems like a lot of trouble
just to upset Alexis.

You know, the funny thing is,

doesn't actually have
anything to do with Alexis.

- It doesn't?
- I just want

to make the most out of
having my daughter here.

Since she's come into our lives, it's...

really made me think about how
I screwed up things with Steven.

I really wasn't there for him.

And, well,
I know she's not a replacement,

but...

does feel like a second chance.

I want...

(WHEEZING, COUGHING)

You don't need to talk right now.

- Just rest. It's okay.
- No.

I need to say something.

I always knew

you were my son.

But I never imagined

you would make me this proud.

I know it hasn't been long, but...

I feel like I've known you... forever.

I feel the same way.

You know, growing up,
I never felt any love

from the man I thought was my father.

But then, you came along, and

you showed me what a
father's love can be.

So thank you for that.

Sam?

Fallon, I know you want to talk,

but right now,
I need to focus on my father.

I get it. You don't want to see me,

but maybe there's someone
else you would like to see.

Mama.

You came.

I wasn't sure if you
were getting my messages.

I couldn't bring myself to face you,

but the Lord... and Fallon...

made me realize it's never
too late to apologize.

So I'm here now, and I'm so sorry.

Hola, Daniel.

- What's up?
- Well, they found

the source of the photo leak.
It wasn't Dominique.

What? What do you mean?
Of course it was.

They actually traced the
photos back to your girlfriend.

Sasha?

What reason could she possibly
have to sabotage anything?

Well, she didn't do it on purpose.

Sasha is... putting it nicely...
not the brightest.

While she was on set,
she posted pictures to her private IG,

and those did not stay private for long.

- I think you owe someone a big apology.
- Okay.

I will take care of it.

Good.
Because I definitely wasn't offering.

Now, what are we gonna
do about this lost money?

Oh, I crunched the numbers,

and we're gonna have to cut
more from the wardrobe budget

to afford anything in marketing.

I ran the new budget by the
costume designer, and she quit,

because "she couldn't possibly

make the actors look
good with that budget."

So we have no money and
no costume designer?

- Nope.
- Great.

You know, none of this would've happened

if you'd just picked
a better girlfriend.

Oh, so who do you think
I should be dating?

Someone smart and...

and together,
who can actually challenge you.

Well, that sounds a lot like you.

Are you asking me on a date?

I hate to crush your dreams there,
buddy,

but that is definitely
not happening again.

Why don't you just focus
on fixing the budget

so we can finish this movie
in the n-next two weeks?

- I'm on it.
- Good. Let me know how it goes

with Dominique.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

I can't tell you

how happy it makes me

to have my family

here.

It's what God wanted.

It's also what I wanted.

But I didn't know if you were coming.

I know.

I owe you both an explanation
for what I did in the past.

I've been too scared to face it, but...

you deserve that much.

Please, stop.

I just want to be here now.

With both of you.

He's right.

We shouldn't waste this
moment talking about the past.

DANIEL:
I want you to be there for each other

after I'm gone.

I let my pride keep me

from Sam for far too long.

Don't make the same mistake

with your mother.

(DANIEL MOANS)

And Iris...

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

...I forgive you.

(COUGHING, WHEEZING)

Gracias, mi amor.

That's all I've been waiting to hear.

I forgive you, too.

And I love you.

Both of you.

- Oh, thank God.
- Mm.

(SLURPING)

Thirsty?

I think I tweaked my
back flying commercial.

Okay, but you were still in first class.

And it's not like we could
let Iris see Father Nicholas

flying home on the Carrington jet,
could we?

I know, okay? And trust me,

this priest will never take
the PJ for granted again.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Just tell me it was worth it.

Yeah, it was.

You should've seen the way
they looked at each other.

I'm sure Sam was pretty
grateful for what you did.

Well, yeah, I mean, you know, I assume.

But you didn't talk about it?

No, he was busy,
and I didn't want to make it about me.

Wow.

Maybe you should go
to church more often.

You put someone else's
needs before your own,

and you also did something really great

for someone that you truly care about.

All right, well, don't get used to it.

Although maybe I will
have to get used to it

once we have a baby.

Oh, speaking of, I...
I did some thinking

while eating stale
pretzels on the plane.

- Mm-hmm.
- If you want to baptize our kid,

I'm cool with it.

Really?

What ever happened to religion is bad?

I guess some of those
endless Sunday school lessons

stuck with me.

Well, like you said,

I'm not pregnant yet,

and when we do have a baptism,

I'll just make sure to
bring a water filter.

I do have one other request.

And this goes along with my
new appreciation for religion.

Now is it weird that
I cannot stop thinking

about you in that nun outfit?

Is there any chance you can put
that back on, we head upstairs?

I do have some interest
in a missionary position.

(QUIET CHATTER)

What are you going to accuse me of now?

Breaking up The Beatles?

Using performance-enhancing
dr*gs while I sketch?

Actually,

I came to apologize.

We found out that Sasha was the leak,

even though she did it by mistake.

So I wanted to say
sorry for accusing you

and embarrassing you like
that in front of everyone.

What about for being a jerk?

You wouldn't even ask me to help,

and you complained when Nina wanted me.

And then you thought I tried
to sabotaged your movie.

Why do you think I would
do something like that?

Are you serious? Okay, first,

without telling me,
you filmed us having sex,

then you released it on the Internet,

then you secretly screwed
me on your reality show.

- You...
- All right.

I get it.

It was a rhetorical question anyway.

Look, after our past,
why would I ever trust you again?

- You're not wrong.
- Is that some weird way of saying that I'm right?

I know I did some unfair
things to you in the past,

and I'm sorry,
but that was a long time ago.

Can't you see that I've changed?

Is that also rhetorical?

Okay, yes,
I think you might have changed,

but sometimes it's hard to tell.

But I still should not have acted

the way that I did,
so I'm here with a proposition

- that might make it up to you.
- I'm listening.

Okay, our wardrobe budget took
a major hit with this leak,

so it won't exactly be glamorous,

but it could get you
some really good press

for this NordicStar competition.

So...

how do you feel about
designing the remaining looks

for Janelle and the rest of the cast?

You would do that for me?

Obviously, you're incredibly talented.

- Mm.
- It could be a big break.

Deal.

Thank you. (CHUCKLES)

All right.
There's no hidden cameras, right?

Oh.

♪ ♪

(SPEAKING SPANISH)_

Daniel passed peacefully,

and, um...

my mom's at La Mirage, resting.

I'm so sorry, Sam.

Tonight was really hard.

I can't even imagine.

Um...

(SIGHS)

Thank you for what you did.

I thought I'd be fine
if Iris never came, but...

(VOICE BREAKING):
But when I saw them together,

I just...

I saw my family for the first time,

and I'm so grateful.

You deserved at least that.

I'm sorry for what I said to you.

No, please, don't apologize.

- You'll take away my moment of selflessness.
- Okay.

I'm not sorry.

But I am.

I know that even if you're not around,

you are always here for me.

That's true,

but it's no secret that I
can be selfish sometimes.

And, um...

I just want to thank you
for reminding me that...

occasionally,
there are things going on in the world

that are more important than my life.

And I'm just so happy I got
to do something for you,

because I really love you so much, Sam.

And I love you, Fallon.

Even if you're a little crazy.

(CHUCKLES)

You didn't even see me
dressed as a nympho nun.

Wow.

You really would do anything for me.

- Oh, yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

Alexis, so glad you could stop by.

Don't worry, I won't be staying long.

What's the occasion?

Funny thing,

Amanda somehow knew about my past

with that little Australian wombat,

and it seems that it
upset her very much.

That is upsetting.

Maybe Adam told her.

Shut it, you Swarovski knockoff.

Well, he does like to be the mama's boy.

I spoke with Adam,
and he didn't say a word about it,

which leaves you two, the Macbeths.

Still trying to poison
Amanda against me.

Oh, please. You started it.

Isn't it ironic how worked up you get

about somebody b*ating
you at your own game?

The only thing you will ever b*at me at

is dying first, hopefully soon.

I would like to speak with Amanda

and explain myself. Where is she?

Unfortunately,

Amanda's resting.

She's had a rough few days.

Plus, she made it clear,

she doesn't want to see you.

That's because the two of you have

filled her mind with lies.

Oh, we don't have to lie about anything.

You're so awful,
you did all the damage yourself.

It's late, Alexis. You should go.

This isn't over.

I know how much you like
to collect possessions,

but Amanda is our daughter.

It won't take her long to figure out

that she is your pawn.

Just another pretty thing
to put on the shelf.

Like this vase.

Have a pleasant evening.

Never imagined I'd say this, but...

it hasn't been terrible
working with you.

ADAM: Agreed.

- Let's do this again never.
- (CHUCKLES)

Now, before I land myself
in federal prison

thanks to your escapades,

where are my crates of Bokocho?

This key goes to a
refrigerated warehouse

where I've been storing
your illegal imports.

- Finally.
- I gave you my word.

I posted the drug formula,

anonymously.

Now it's out there for
anyone to copy and reproduce.

And if Plenexia tries to take it down,

they'll look even worse.

Yeah, but are you sure
a pharmaceutical giant

is really gonna be concerned
about their moral capital?

Of course not, but they are concerned

with their financial capital.

I tipped off a reporter this morning.

This is hitting every major news outlet,

and shareholders are spooked.

Leaked formulas, lax security.

They're seeing huge losses.

Wow. I got to admit,

I wasn't sure you'd be
able to pull this off.

I kind of thought this whole
Mission Impossible thing

might have been Mars . .

- (SCOFFS)
- But it turns out

you are just reckless.

Well, I prefer to think of it
as controlled recklessness.

You said we're even now, right?

So please, don't call me again.

Oh, I already deleted your number. Yeah.

(PHONE RINGS, VIBRATES)

(SIGHS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

RICHARD: Jeff Colby?

Richard Payne, CEO of Plenexia.

Sorry we didn't get to meet last night.

But as our stock started
to drop this morning,

I put the pieces together.

Your interview at my company,

one of our top chemists
receiving an invitation

to the Alexam launch party,
and, of course,

last night's break-in.

So I had a chat with our chemist.

She was much more forthcoming
once I took out my checkbook.

I know you stole my drug formula.

I also know you're too smart
for me to prove anything.

So don't worry,
I'm not going to the police.

If you want to play games, I'm all in.

But watch yourself,

because you're gonna pay.

Good night, Mr. Colby.
