Caught by Love (2026)

[bunniefuu]

Oooh!

Sorry.

- Oh, gotcha.

- Sorry.

Are you all right?

I... y-yes.

Yes.

Here let me help you with this.

Oh, no.

You don't have to.

Oh.

It was... a long layover.

It's fine.

Of course.

- Right.

- Of course

Well, I don't usually just go

falling into people like that.

Well, I'm honored

to be the exception.

Thank-thank you.

Yeah.

Have a good day.

You too, yeah.

All right. Namaste.

Now, you have a good day.

Welcome to The Monarch.

Checking in?

Yes.

Annie Collins.

Oh. I'm sorry, I can't seem

to find your reservation.

Oh, I think it's under

a different name.

Joanna Mitchum.

Ah.

Yes. I can see

the note on the account.

Is this your first time

staying with us, Ms. Collins?

Yes.

And have you been

to any of our sister sites?

Bali. The Maldives.

No? No?

No.

Well, allow me to introduce you

to your home away from home

for the next seven days.

Right this way.

Here at Monarch Malta,

we take a holistic approach

to wellness,

A carefully curated

experience combining fitness,

nutrition and meditation

to help our guests leave

with a sense of spiritual

growth and enlightenment.

All in one week?

You'd be surprised.

Sometimes all a person

needs is a new perspective.

Here is our main pool and we

have a lower pool beachside.

Lara, can you take those towels

to the laundry?

Of course.

It's that way.

Right.

First day.

Oh.

What's up g*ng?

It's your girl Kim Travels

here in beautiful Malta.

Come with me as I give you

all the details

on this five-star luxury resort.

Remember to hit the like button

and subscribe.

Oh, they have a gravity pool.

That's new.

We need to try it.

Oh, I wish you'd put that away

while we're here.

We're supposed to be relaxing.

I'll just be a minute.

It's not a getaway if

you bring your life with you.

Please.

Okay.

Thank you.

What's at it now?

All right, let's go.

Buy the dip.

Whoa!

Excuse me. What?

The chlorine is too strong.

I have a delicate constitution.

I'm not sure there's anything

we can do

once it's in the water.

Oh, well...

I can already feel

my skin flushing.

Please schedule an Edelweiss

Facial, suite 25.

Okay.

Thank you.

King bed.

You may, of course, choose the

shape and fill of your pillow.

Oh, wow.

I don't think I've ever been

greeted by flowers before.

You have a large soaking tub

and shower,

and right out here

you have a spacious balcony

with a view of

the Mediterranean.

Wow.

This is your itinerary

for the week.

Sound bath?

It's a kind of therapy

that uses sonic vibrations.

Sound bath, right.

You're very fortunate

you chose this week to stay

with us.

Mr. Carlisle himself

will be leading

your one on one session.

Mr. Carlisle?

Robert Carlisle, the owner.

Right.

Yes, when he's on the island,

he likes to be

a little bit more hands on.

You'll meet him at

the welcome dinner in an hour.

One hour.

Do you have any other questions?

No. Thank you so much.

My pleasure.

Hey.

Hi. Do you have a minute?

I'm just finalizing

a recent acquisition.

I have a minute.

How's The Monarch?

The towels are scented

like lavender,

and they're folded up

into the shape of little swans.

I'm gonna leave it.

Pretty great, right?

It's amazing.

So I got picked up from the

airport by a personal valet,

and he offered me water

in a glass bottle

from some kind of an iceberg.

I wasn't even thirsty

but, girl, I drank it.

Jo, thank you so much for this.

You're welcome.

I'm gonna say it,

though. I think that...

No, Annie.

It is. It's too much.

It's too much.

No, the timing

worked out perfectly.

I'm glad you got

to take my place.

Yeah. And your luggage

with your clothes

and all of your shoes.

I mean, these things

nearly got me k*lled.

I do not know how

you walk in them.

You get used to 'em.

And, you know, it's nice

to reach the high shelves.

I think I'll probably stick

to flats.

You did put flats

in there, right?

I wish I could be there.

I am so excited for you.

After my stay at The Monarch,

I left with a clarity

and determination that

I'd never had before.

And I want that for you.

After all the sacrifices

you made,

you deserve to do something

just for you.

- I...

- Embrace the adventure, Annie.

It's only the beginning.

Thank you.

I started The Monarch resorts

with a single mission

to help others achieve

their fullest potential.

You give us a week, and we'll

provide you with the tools

to take the reins of your life.

It'll be a truly

transformational experience.

How do we achieve our dreams?

First, we must

dare to dream them.

The only limitation

to your success

is you.

My sincerest hope

is that you leave the resort

with a renewed sense of purpose

and hopefully a tan.

No, but please do

wear your sunscreen.

Thank you, everybody.

Enjoy.

He's really good.

I wonder if he has a podcast.

I'm Kimberly.

Annie.

So, are you here with anyone?

My boyfriend's meeting me

in a few days.

For now, I'm flying solo.

You?

It's just me.

Well, then, I'm glad we met.

We can be solo together.

Afternoon, ladies.

Oh, sorry.

Could I trouble you

for a cup of coffee?

Oh, I'm sorry,

we don't have coffee.

Maybe a very strong green tea.

Our menu doesn't contain

caffeine, sugar or alcohol.

Wow.

A full-body detox is critical

to achieve

a greater sense of joy, calm,

and emotional alignment.

Ha!

Can I offer one

of our fiber juices?

It's psyllium, cinnamon water

and sweetened with beet juice.

No, a water is good

because I love water.

Great.

I'll try it.

I'll bring one over.

Thank you.

What do you think

of aerial yoga?

It sounds high.

My channel is called

Kim Travels.

I have reviews of resorts

from all over the world.

Last month, I spent three days

in a remote cabin in the Alps.

- Oh.

- Ever been?

No. I think this is the first

vacation I've had in forever.

Well, you picked

the right place.

The Monarch is

the wellness retreat du jour.

I wanted to come for years.

His name is Jake.

Wh... I...

He's a venture capitalist

from Chicago.

I met him earlier.

Uh, who?

The guy you're staring at.

Oh, no.

See, I wasn't.

You should go say hello.

Why?

Because he's cute.

Maybe you'll hit it off.

You're in paradise.

Perfect place for romance.

I'm here to work on myself.

I'm not here looking

for romance.

Honey, who says

you can't do both?

That's a beautiful necklace.

Oh, thanks.

It's a gift.

You must be very special

to someone.

Yes, I was for a moment.

Excuse me.

Yes.

This soup is too hot.

Oh, well,

if you give it a minute.

I would like you

to bring it back

to the kitchen and cool it down.

But...

You know what?

You are right.

It could ruin the palate.

Yeah.

Ma'am, if you could take mine

as well, please.

Thank you.

Of course, sir.

Thank you.

They're so accommodating here.

Well...

Hey, do you have

200-400 in that bag?

I'm sorry.

I couldn't help but notice

with that the lens

you're sh**ting with

is really good for close-ups.

But if one of those pretty

birds takes off,

you're really going to want

the versatility of the 200-400.

Are you a photographer?

Oh, no, I'm not.

But my mom actually was,

but she used to let me

tag along on shoots, so I...

Well, thank you for the tip.

Of course.

Uh...

May I?

Oh, I...

Come on, come on.

A bird in motion.

Like, like a parrot.

No.

- Uh... Oh, no, no.

- It's great.

Oh, come on,

it's a great picture.

Thank you.

Beautiful.

Um...

Anyway, I'll see you later.

- Of course. Yes.

- Yeah.

Thanks again.

No problem.

- Bye.

- Good day.

I've been trying to organize

this for days now.

I need an answer.

I'm only here for a week.

I'll be waiting.

Hi. Sorry, I didn't mean

to scare you.

It's all right.

I didn't realize anyone

was out here.

So here's where you ran off to.

Just to step out for some air.

Have you seen my sunglasses?

Maybe I left them by the pool.

They're on the bedside table.

Oh.

Oh. Good evening, neighbor.

I'm Carolyn, and this

is my husband, Peter.

Hi. I'm Annie.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Pleasure.

Well, Annie, I'm sure

we'll see you around the resort.

I hope so.

Sweetheart, they have those

wonderful bath salts...

This soup could ruin the palate.

I was getting her to trust me.

And it worked, by the way.

By dessert, she had told

me everything

from her street address

to her star sign.

Mmhmm.

Virgo. In case you were

wondering.

I wasn't.

The next time you go undercover,

I get to be the wealthy guest

and you can be staff.

Oh, but I look too good

in this suit, right?

Yeah.

It's a mystery

why you're still single.

Hey, I agree with you on that.

Hey, what's her name?

Don't have her name yet.

I saw the initials

on her luggage, JM.

Joanna Mitchum.

Mm.

Mm.

Okay, so tell me

about these guests.

I've only started,

but first, your dinner pal

was Rebecca Bauer.

She's royalty, literally.

Her father's a Duke.

Wow.

Colin Scruggs, Silicon

Valley wunderkind.

A regular at

the World Series of Poker.

Kimberly Price.

She's a popular influencer.

Her mother is the founder

and CEO of a telecom company.

Peter and Carolyn Marks.

He's a real estate mogul.

Net worth in the billions

with a B.

Whoa.

Multiple houses, but their

main residence is Madrid.

And what about her?

His wife?

What does she do?

She looks pretty active in

the philanthropic spaces.

It's also their anniversary.

Ah, Crestvell Diamond necklace

sounds like

a pretty nice anniversary gift.

Definitely.

We've never started a case

with so little to work with.

I know, but Lara, honestly,

the reward money

that the museum is putting up

that could be a game-changer

for us.

Just think about it.

We could have an office

that doesn't share a wall

with a SoulCycle.

And according to this tip...

Somebody at the hotel

is the buyer.

I'm on a probationary period

where they train me

on all the stations.

I have to go.

You think you can make friends.

Yep. Of course.

I'm gonna start with the Marks

first thing in the morning.

I'll put you

on to their excursion.

Oh, and, hey, we only have

six days to figure out

who the buyer is.

I know.

Morning.

Morning.

We certainly have lucked out

with this weather.

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Okay. Good talk.

Hi.

Oh, hi.

- You were right about the lens.

- Oh.

I've got some great shots.

Oh, good.

So glad to hear it.

Yeah.

You know, I have to admit,

it has been a while

since I've ridden.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

- Like they say, it's like...

- Riding a bicycle.

Right. Why did I say that?

Yeah. No.

I, um...

If you'll just excuse me.

Yeah sure, of course.

Thanks.

Hi.

Thank you for that.

All right, everyone,

we are about to start our tour

through Manikata.

So just...

Mr. Evers, will

you be joining us today?

No?

Oh. All right.

Everyone else grab a bike.

Yes.

Any bike, any bike.

Don't be shy.

Don't be shy.

Maybe a big one for you.

All right.

Majjistral Park spans

six kilometers

of protected coastland and is

home to one of the largest...

Should I just get an Uber back?

No, definitely not.

I just got to get the slip

chain back

on the spiky wheel thing

and, uh, pick it up.

Okay.

And yep.

Nice.

Good as new.

Wow.

- I'm impressed.

- Nice.

You're a mechanic.

Oh, hardly.

Probably could have got

someone to do that for you.

It's an easy fix.

Thanks, Annie.

Of course.

Annie?

Yeah.

Oh, silly me.

We never officially met,

Annie Collins.

Jake Daltry.

Here... you...

Yeah.

Is, uh, Annie a nickname?

Actually, yes. I'm named

for my grandmother.

She's Annabelle.

Oh. It's just that

on your luggage,

there was a monogram JM.

You're very observant.

Well, they were large letters.

Well, you got me.

The luggage is actually

my friend Joanna's,

as was the reservation

and the remarkably high heels.

Okay, that's as good as it gets.

Thank you.

Of course.

Hm.

Remarkable.

It really is.

Anyway, good luck.

Jim. Jim, who likes to swim?

Swim Jim.

What's that?

Oh, that's nothing really.

It's just a silly thing I do

to try and remember

people's names.

I say their name and then

associate something with that,

maybe that they like to do or

how I met them, for example.

Jim is going to be competing

in an Ironman triathlon.

So, uh. yeah.

You do that for everyone?

Yeah.

What did you associate with me?

Well, uh, I don't think I did.

You just seemed like Jake.

So, you know everybody

in the group?

Yes.

Who's that?

Oh, that.

That is Carolyn.

Yeah, we actually met

last night.

We're sweet neighbors.

She couldn't find her pair

of sunglasses.

Pair, care.

O-lin.

It's not an inexact science

for now, but, yeah, she's, uh,

she's married to Peter.

Okay. Um, earlier I tried to

have a conversation with him,

and it petered out.

Just like that.

Well, now I will remember.

Annie.

And.

No. You just-

you seem like an Annie.

Her social media

accounts are all private.

She doesn't have much

of a digital footprint.

Intentionally low profile?

No, there's something about her

that doesn't quite add up.

She's-she's too nice.

Being nice is now suspicious.

Yeah.

Joanna Mitchum, on the other

hand, was very easy to find.

She's the founder and CEO

of JBM.

Should I know what that is?

Cosmetic company.

They make an excellent

lip plumper.

Lip plumper?

Mhm.

I'll take your word for it.

She has very deep pockets.

She just won a Kandinsky

in a bidding w*r.

So you think Annie's doing

her dirty work?

Do you want me

to get us a key to her room?

No. Not yet.

We have to play this right.

We could be dealing with a

very sophisticated criminal.

Press with your hands down

and sit inside the hammock.

Grab a hold of the fabric

and pull yourself up

to stretch the legs out

to the front.

Turn and start

lifting up your legs.

Start leaning back.

Grab the fabric

with your both hands.

Open the feet and the thighs.

Start leaning back.

Bring the feet

around the fabric.

Stay for a few moments

with the head down.

Relax your head and neck.

Shoulders.

Soften your chest.

Do you need help?

I think I do.

Why does everything

healthy taste so sad?

I kind of like it.

What do you think psyllium is?

I think it's a seed.

Are you okay?

Yeah. It's fine.

Ladies.

Annie, I was wondering if

you'd have lunch with me.

Oh, um...

She'd love that.

Great.

So I worked at a hedge fund

in the San Francisco area.

That's very impressive.

Do you like it?

Yes. It affords me

a certain lifestyle.

I get to travel to

beautiful places

and meet interesting people.

I'm sure you can relate.

It looks like you have a taste

for the finer things as well.

I do?

Mhm. Couldn't help but notice

that watch

is worth at least six figures.

This? Are you sure?

Wow.

Is that your friends as well?

Um, yes.

Yeah.

She booked this trip and she

had a work obligation come up,

so just kind of here

in her place.

She sounds like a good friend.

She came to this resort

two years ago.

She says it's life-changing.

Are you looking to change

your life?

Mm.

No, I'm just here

for the micro-greens.

Right. Yeah, micro-greens.

They are very...

soothing.

So soothing.

So tell me,

what do you do for work?

Oh, well...

I am also in finance.

But tell me, why do you think

it is that we're so quick

to define ourselves by our jobs?

You know, it's as if

that's the most interesting

or important thing about us.

So how else should

we define each other?

Maybe by like, a fun

or interesting fact.

Go ahead.

Uh, a fun or...

I collect stamps.

That is fun.

It's a hobby I picked up

from my grandfather.

And because I travel a lot

for work,

it's something

I can easily keep up with.

Your grandfather?

Yeah.

That's really nice.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm so sorry.

I have to get

to my next session.

Of course, don't want

to keep you.

No pressure.

Thank you.

I gotcha.

Here we go.

You push, I'll pull.

There we go.

All right.

There we go.

Good to see you.

Just allow

the vibrations to wash over you.

Shh.

Oh, uh...

I didn't say anything.

I can hear you thinking.

It's very aggressive.

Sorry.

Let me ask you a question.

Yeah.

When you're walking

on the sidewalk

and strangers coming in

the opposite direction.

Do you step aside?

- Yes.

- Huh?

Is that bad?

To truly achieve the things

that we want-

Uh-huh.

We must prioritize ourselves.

When you step aside

for someone else,

you're stepping off

of your own path.

I just kind of thought it

was the polite thing to do.

Take this notepad, and I want

you to write a list

of all the things you wish

to accomplish in life.

This is a chance for you

to leave the old Annie behind

and be whoever it is

you've always wanted to be.

It says she's just a bank teller

from Bemidji, Minnesota.

Maybe this is a decoy account.

Maybe she really is

just here on vacation.

Mhm.

Uh, if you could send

a few extra pillows

to my room, please.

What? Get your own pillow.

Uh, excuse me.

Lara, a word, please.

When a guest makes a request,

we do our very best

to accommodate.

Of course. I will

remember that.

I'm going to need you to cover

the herbal medicine

session tomorrow.

Margot is unavailable.

Herbal medicine?

Is that a problem?

Your resume says you have

an extensive background

in aromatherapy and tincture.

Right. It was

my minor in college.

Not my...

Class starts at 10:00.

Thanks!

Sorry.

I mean, he's charming,

but we live in completely

different worlds.

Are you going to see him again?

I don't know.

I mean, I just got out

of a relationship

where I spent all this time

forcing a connection

that wasn't really even there.

I'm looking for more

than a nice smile.

I want someone who's really

kind, you know, genuine.

He does have

a nice smile, though.

Hello, I'm Lara.

Oh.

I will be covering for,

um, Margot,

who's taking an early

maternity leave.

And you may be asking yourself,

what is herbal medicine?

And that is a question I have

asked myself very recently.

It is the use of plants in

the prevention and treatment

of illness, and that can include

the use of leaves, roots,

stems.

Where is she going with this?

I don't know.

I think she's reading

the Wikipedia definition.

Mostly things we have

on offer here.

Peppermint and orange is

often known as a relaxer.

You're late.

Because I'm doing all the work.

Oh.

Suite 17.

Thank you.

Let me know when you have

eyes on them.

Robert's methods are unique,

but they get results.

Wait, so you've

been here before?

Mm. I've been wanting

to come back for ages,

but our schedules

just never allowed it.

Huh.

So, uh, if you don't mind,

what was, uh, on your list?

Love.

I was on a girl's trip,

recently dumped,

nursing a broken heart.

My third day, I'm scheduled

for this excursion into Rabat

and I was paired with Peter.

So you met here?

Mhm. I was instantly smitten.

While we were there, we came

across this local brass band

and he asked me to dance

right there on the street.

I'd never met anyone like him.

So spontaneous, so full of life.

Speaking of, I should go and

track down my wayward husband.

Gosh, it's bright out.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Is that good?

Look at the color.

Yes, it's very blue.

This reminds me of that drink

we had in Bora Bora.

What was it called?

I'm not sure.

Oh, you remember.

Lara!

Lara, a minute.

Yes.

Chop, chop.

Hello.

And then you will shadow April

at our guided meditation.

What are you doing?

Is that a trash can?!

It's not what you think.

I think you're in someone

else's room

going through

someone else's trash.

I saw you take the Marks'

photo yesterday,

and now you're in their room.

I can explain everything,

but it's gonna have

to wait a minute.

Unless you're moonlighting

as a maid,

I cannot think of another

possible explanation

as to what you should be

doing in here.

I'm a private investigator.

What?

I'm a private investigator.

And I'm trying to track down

a necklace

that was stolen from the Met.

And I believe...

that one of the guests here

is going to buy it.

That's what you're going with?

Yes, that's what

we're going with.

- I need you to come with me.

- Wait.

Right this way. Right this way.

Right this way.

There you go.

That's your room, right?

You've been lying

to me this entire time.

Is your name even Jake?

Yes. Just give me your hand.

So what?

You were only talking to me

because you thought

I was some kind

of a jewel thief?

No.

I thought you were associating

with the jewel thief.

Come on. Just please.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

You're not even my type.

I'm not your type.

What does that mean?

Are you coming?

There they are.

Oh, hello.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I didn't realize

you two know each other.

We don't.

Oh, we're getting

to know each other, though.

Right. Well...

don't let me interrupt.

Okay, what does

that actually mean?

You know, you can't actually

know that.

What?

That I'm not your type.

You know, because I was, uh.

I was playing a part.

I was, uh, undercover.

Oh. So you don't actually

collect stamps?

No, actually, that part is true.

I actually collect stamps.

You have a thing

against hobbyists?

No. It's probably the most

charming thing about you.

Oh, charming.

So you do think

that I am charming.

Mm.

- Mm?

- Mm.

Look, if you could do me

a favor.

Keep this between the two of us.

Who am I gonna tell?

Thank you.

Here I go.

Lean back.

Lifting your thighs.

See if you can be

comfortable here.

Bring the feet

around the fabric.

Go back down.

Relax your shoulders and arms.

Slowly. Get up.

I'm sorry.

Lift the chest.

The market is

too unstable right now.

It's about diversifying

into assets.

I've got a plan.

Foolproof, guaranteed

monster return.

Huge wins.

You are going to be very happy.

You're looking for

the Crestvell Diamond.

It's all over the news.

It's worth millions of dollars.

Yes.

Do you think that I would

travel halfway around the world

for petty theft?

I don't know what

you do with your spare time.

Last news article I read

said that

the police investigation

had gone cold.

Why do you think it's here?

Because I'm very good at my job.

And?

Also, we got an anonymous tip.

Mm.

Wait, we?

Oh. Hey, Lara.

What do we have today?

She's a P.I. too.

Yeah.

That explains why there's

never any towels in my room.

So what?

You got a tip saying

that the person

looking to purchase

the necklace was here?

Maybe a guest,

but you don't know which guest.

Yes, we got a note and it was

signed by a mysterious name, X,

and said arrangements had been

made to purchase a necklace

and for us to be on site.

Someone has a flair for

the dramatic, right?

Right. Right. Look, Annie

don't you have a Reiki session

or a cold plunge to get to.

Not right now, actually.

Oh, wait a minute.

You think that Carolyn's husband

wants to buy it.

That's why you were

in their room?

Yes, yes.

He's been very standoffish.

Hard to get to know.

Difficult to make

any inroads with.

Look, I appreciate your

curiosity, but I don't need

anyone interfering

with my investigation.

Annie, Peter went into town to

get some euros from the bank.

I'm going to meet him.

Have you been?

They have

the cutest little shops.

No, not yet.

You should come.

You both should.

It could be a double date.

Oh, you know, I would

it's just I have a cold plunge

I have to get to.

Actually, could you give us

a minute?

Of course.

I need you to accept

the invitation.

She's playing matchmaker.

Could be a perfect opportunity

for me to get close.

You see I would,

it's just that I would never

interfere with

your investigation.

Okay. Yes, I really stepped

into that,

but I could use your... help.

Sorry, I didn't hear you.

It's so windy.

You said you needed my uh...

- Help.

- There it is.

Ah, you know what, Carolyn?

We would love to.

That's great.

Fantastic.

- Can I wear flip-flops?

- No, you can't.

Peter...

What kind of watch is that?

Uh...

expensive.

Mm.

So you two seem to be spending

a lot of time together?

Yes. It was,

um, unexpected.

- I think he's delightful.

- Mm.

- He's very personable.

- Yeah.

He just kept asking me questions

about my life and my interests.

It's so rare to find someone

who isn't constantly

talking about themselves.

Oh, that's pretty. Yeah.

Sweetheart.

He has been on that phone

non-stop since we arrived.

Oh.

So, uh, was it your idea

to come to The Monarch?

No. In fact, he suggested

this trip

completely out of the blue.

I thought for sure it was

to help us, you know...

- reconnect.

- Hm.

It's almost as though his mind

is somewhere else entirely.

If he doesn't want to spend

time together,

why did he bring us here?

She said that he's

been very distant,

is constantly on his phone,

and she didn't even know

exactly where they were going

until they were at the airport.

Don't say it.

I know, don't get involved.

I was actually going to say,

nice work.

Really?

Yeah.

Thank you.

So now we just need

to figure out

who he's been on his phone with

all this time.

You're not gonna hack his phone,

are you?

Because I'm pretty sure

that PIs are still

bound by confidentiality laws.

I am not gonna hack his phone.

Good.

Because I bet you

she is going to ask me

to take a picture.

Oh, Jake, will you please

take our picture.

Of course.

Go on.

Give him the phone.

Great, great, great.

Great, great.

Okay. Get the portrait mode.

- Ah.

- Um.

Just want to get

the stonework in the background.

- Perfect, here.

- Maybe...

You know what?

Hold on one second.

You have several flyaways.

There we go.

Thank you.

Oh, just...

- It's the humidity.

- It really is.

My hair is just

not my friend right now.

The humidity

always does this to me.

So beautiful.

Thank you, darling.

That's great.

Okay.

Great.

Okay. Big smiles.

Did you get it?

Got it.

It still seems like

an invasion of privacy.

Well, it's a gray area,

What?

It's a... it's a date.

Oh.

- Right.

- Right.

Hey.

Hi.

It's a little late

for a swim, isn't it?

It helps me clear my head.

I feel like I could use

some clarity.

Join me.

Hop in.

Okay.

So you were in

a fight with a yoga mat?

Uh, hammock, it was

a yoga hammock.

Ah.

I'll have you know.

Yoga is hard enough.

Whose idea was it

to put it up in the air?

You know what I miss?

Mm.

Pizza.

Oh, pizza.

Yeah.

So good.

Extra cheese.

So much cheese.

I don't think I've even seen

a carb since I've been here.

Thank you for today.

For your help.

You're welcome.

I do kind of feel bad

for Carolyn, though.

I don't think she has

the slightest idea

what they're really doing here.

Nah, she's a convincing

accomplice.

She knew he was going

to the bank to get money.

Do you always

assume the worst in people?

In my line of work, you learn

that people are motivated

by selfish things.

Greed, jealousy.

It's just a fact of life.

Maybe leave that off

your dating profile, huh.

Is that your way of

asking me if I'm single?

No. Just a friendly piece

of advice.

Okay.

But really though, do you

believe that people

are only motivated by their

very worst impulses?

I try not to be.

I think someday someone's

going to surprise you.

I hope so.

Oh, really?

- You want to go back in?

- No.

- Come on.

- It's so cold.

Let's go.

Ready? Here we go.

Mm.

Good.

Mm.

You know, I had to sneak it

past the front desk.

Contraband.

I really appreciate it.

I do.

So I have a question.

Mmhmm.

How did you know that Carolyn

was going to ask you

to take their photo?

Uh...

She's sentimental.

Mmhmm.

She tends to romanticize

the past, and she's on vacation,

so it was a safe bet.

You know, if she didn't ask

for a picture,

I was going to offer.

A cool party trick.

Well, it's not a party trick.

Fifteen years of

professional experience.

I am actually

very good at reading people.

Really?

Mmhmm.

Hm.

I have an idea.

Mmhmm.

Read me.

Do the thing.

Read it.

Ah.

Come on.

Uh. Okay. All right. Um...

You...

are at a crossroads.

Okay. Come on.

We're at, like,

a self-help retreat.

It's kind of a gimme.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay. Um...

You showed up

in someone else's shoes.

You definitely feel out of your

element in a place like this.

Mm.

You stick to

the scheduled activities.

You are a rule follower.

You are a planner.

Which makes me think somehow

something in your life

took you off your plan.

How am I doing so far?

Yeah, you can-

you can keep going.

You're... clever.

You're very, very clever.

And obviously

you like helping people.

You love mystery novels.

And you jumped at

the opportunity

to help me

with my investigation.

So I think that you

wanted to be... a lawyer,

probably a public defender.

How did you do that?

That's crazy.

So now you tell me...

what happened?

My mom was really sick.

I'm sorry.

No, it's-it's okay.

She's better now.

She's literally the strongest

person that I've ever met.

You know, it just

sort of happened all at once.

There was a ton of doctor bills

and appointments to be made,

and it was just a lot.

So I took a job at the local

bank, and I got comfortable,

and I just...

I guess I just kind of stayed.

Of course, I can't help

but wonder, like,

am I where I'm supposed to be?

So, yeah, I guess that's why

I wanted to come here.

I wanted to lean into it,

see if I could leave it

like a new and improved Annie.

You know what else

I see when I look at you?

Mm.

You are stronger than

you give yourself credit for.

And for the record, I like you

just the way you are.

So why did you want

to become a P.I.?

Well, I was actually on

the police force for a decade.

And last year we got this call

from this woman.

She was in the middle of

a very messy divorce,

and her husband

had stolen this crystal vase.

It was a very low priority case,

and I just decided

I wanted to work it on my own.

So I worked it off

the books, on the weekends.

Eventually, I tracked it down

to this pawn shop

where the husband, surprise,

had stolen it

and sold it just to spite her.

No.

Yes. We do not like him.

But when I was returning

the vase to this woman,

she was so happy.

She burst into tears

and she hugged me.

And I knew that that's the

feeling that I wanted to have

all the time.

So six months later, I sunk

every dollar I had

into creating my own agency.

I borrowed the rest

of the money and...

Here we are.

So what happens now?

Well,

I get the photo and I send it

to the appropriate authorities.

That's it?

Uh-huh.

What did you think

was gonna happen?

Well, I don't know.

You know, you go, you get

the jump on the thief,

you chase them down down.

Sorry to disappoint you,

but it's rarely more exciting

than a phone call.

Hm. Okay.

So after you get these photos,

you'll be just going?

Uh, yeah.

Yes.

But, uh, hopefully we can

go out and celebrate first.

Great.

Look!

Carolyn?

Wait a minute.

It doesn't make any sense.

And Peter's not even

anywhere around here.

They must be working together?

Right.

- What's she looking for?

- I don't know.

What?

Look.

Oh.

What is this?

Happy anniversary, sweetheart.

Oh.

I'm sorry I've been

so busy lately,

but I want you to know

there's nothing in my life

more important than you.

Oh, Peter.

I can't believe you've done

all of this.

Do you want to dance?

I do.

Do you like it?

I love it.

And I love you.

I love you too.

Get a picture.

Oh.

See, that is why

he was so distracted.

He was just planning her gift.

Yeah, the text was just

confirming the band.

I'm so happy for them.

Yeah.

You know what this means?

Love is real.

Well, yeah, but, um...

The buyer is still out there.

So what are you going

to do about your investigation?

Uh, look into the other guests.

Keep narrowing down the list.

I can't afford to lose this.

The truth is, owning your

own business is expensive.

Living out of my suitcase,

taking every job I can get.

Which is fine.

But it's not just me,

it's... it's Lara.

- Mm.

- She left an important career

because she believed in me

and...

I'm not sure how much longer

I can keep us afloat.

This necklace

would be a big win.

Solve a lot of problems.

All right, in that case,

I think we split up the guests

by excursion.

We'll be able

to cover more ground.

We?

I mean, I'm already invested.

You're on vacation.

I have scheduled downtime.

It's encouraged.

Okay, what about your massages

and chakra alignments?

I want to do this, okay?

For you and Lara and

the greater good. Okay?

I want to do this.

No.

No, the people behind us

were able to break into a museum

and steal a valuable artifact

that makes them dangerous.

I'd just be talking with

the guests, you know,

it's something

I'd be doing anyway.

Okay. But in a very

limited capacity

with no unnecessary risks.

No.

So now that

we're officially a team.

Team.

Are you going to tell me

how you remembered my name?

Um...

Jake?

Uh-huh.

- Rake.

- Right.

- Uh...

- Rakishly handsome.

Yeah. No.

Jake. Jake.

Uh, intrepid but thoughtful.

That doesn't rhyme.

It's still true.

It is true.

It is true.

It's true.

What do you want

to call into your life?

A Forbes Cooper 80

with a big bar area.

I'm going to work on my inner

peace and health and chakras.

I'd like to grow my audience

to attract bigger brand deals

and eventually start

my own TV series.

I would really love to find

someone that loves me

for what I am

and not for what I have.

I would like to diversify

my investment portfolio

and, uh, increase

my liquid assets.

I would like to buy a house

in the next five years.

You know, maybe something with,

like, a little garden

and maybe someday get a cat.

Thank you.

Uh, are these things

you truly want?

Or what you believe

is expected of you?

Well, I mean,

I guess kind of expected,

but I just feel like

those are really good,

safe things to want, you know?

Exactly. But this is about

taking risks.

You know, dreaming bigger

than you've ever dared.

I want you to give it another

shot. Okay?

- Okay.

- Okay.

More of a dog guy.

What do you guys

want to see next?

The resort's pet iguana.

Who's that skulking

in the bushes?

Oh.

Guys, this is my friend, Annie.

Oh.

What are you doing there?

Uh...

I think I lost an earring in

here at some point last night.

In the bushes?

I fell.

- Oh, no.

- Yeah.

I'll help.

No, no. It's okay.

You don't have to.

Okay.

It could be here.

It's a big guest list.

We could use Annie's help.

Is that all it is?

You don't mix

business and personal.

That's what you told me in Reno.

Did you listen?

And I got my heart broken

for it.

The job ends, we leave.

There's no room to get attached.

Okay. We have

three days to find the buyer.

After that, everybody leaves,

along with our chances

of finding the necklace.

We could use

every set of eyes we have.

For the record,

I'm against this.

Hey, who's that guy over there

in the hat?

His name is George Evers,

but we don't know anything

beyond a name.

Lara has put me on three

of his excursions,

but he has skipped every one.

Why would he spend

so much money?

Just to read by the pool?

That is an excellent question.

Of which we don't know

the answer...

yet.

Do you two always finish

each other's sentences?

We used to be partners.

Uh. Oh, wow.

That's, uh... that's so great.

I could never work with an ex,

I don't think.

Oh, no, no, no. Partners

on the police force.

We're not...

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Okay, wow.

You don't need

to be that effusive.

Oh, look who's been using

his word a day calendar.

The point is,

we are just colleagues.

We are just friends.

I am, uh, currently

uh... single.

I'm not seeing anyone so yeah.

Jake is much too busy to date.

He'll tell you that repeatedly

when you try and set him up

with a perfectly nice woman.

Okay, if we could just

get back to Mr. Evers.

We could send him a bogus

questionnaire from the resort.

Might give us a place to start.

No. Does he seem like the kind

of guy who's going

to respond promptly to an email?

Hey, do you know what

we could do, though?

We could do that thing

we did in Kansas City.

No, no, we are not doing

that again.

- Why?

- It was ridiculous.

You don't want to wear

the garbage man outfit.

What is she doing?

I don't know exactly,

but it seems to be working.

He looks pretty happy.

Okay. She's coming back.

All right.

Let's see what she found out.

He's originally from New Haven,

but retired to Austin.

Worked 30 years for some company

called, uh,

New Pioneer Medical,

I want to say.

Pioneer Medical.

Anyway, he's got three

grandchildren,

two girls and a boy.

Would you believe the youngest

just booked the lead

in the-in the school play.

Oklahoma.

Sun is hot all the time

to reapply.

Thank you.

Go on, sweetheart.

You're doing brilliantly.

Are you not climbing?

Do I look like I climb?

And also, I don't touch rocks.

Okay.

Um, okay.

How high do you think that is?

You know, I think the trick is

to just focus on

a point above you.

Oh.

Yeah. No. Mmhmm.

Hey, didn't you say you wanted

to expand your horizons?

I know, it just just really

feels like something

that you work your way up to.

Um...

- Annie.

- Mmhmm.

You got this.

Was that the whole pep talk

because there was

only three words.

Yes, that's all you need.

- Okay.

- I believe in you.

- Great.

- I believe in you.

Oh, oh.

Oh.

Hey, how are you feeling?

It's just my boyfriend

is held up in London.

Weather, I guess.

Just anxious

for him to get here.

Right.

It's gonna be okay.

I'm sorry.

Kimberly, you're on deck next.

How's your list coming along?

Um, so, uh, how do you,

uh, find out what it is

that you really want?

It begins with honesty.

I honestly have no idea.

You're afraid to say

what you want

because it would make it real.

And if it's real,

then there is

the potential for failure.

You will never succeed

unless you can overcome

the limitations you place

on yourself.

When you allow yourself

to be controlled by fear

and uncertainty.

You will never

be able to move forward.

Is that a metaphor?

No, no, no, no, no.

This is a very real challenge

placed in your path.

Oh, right.

The question is,

can you dig deep?

And conquer it?

You can do it!

Come on Annie.

Good, good, good, good.

Come on.

You're doing great.

Come on.

Come on.

You got it.

It's okay.

Don't look down.

Don't look down,

don't look down.

Come on.

You're almost there.

Take your time.

Look up.

- Look up at Jake.

- You got this.

You got it.

You got it.

Okay.

Come on, good.

Yeah!

You're getting closer.

Good.

Good, you're almost there.

You got this.

Come on, come on,

come on, come on.

Come on.

Yeah.

Good job.

I knew you had it in you.

Okay, I did it.

- Yes.

- I really did it!

- You did it.

- Thank you.

Landscape, portrait.

Okay, this is good.

Yeah, that's good.

Flex your muscles.

You want to get one

on the edge there?

Big smiles.

You're the talk of the resort.

Everybody loves a love story.

May I offer you a piece

of advice?

Of course.

This is paradise.

Not the real world.

It can put you under a spell,

deceive you.

Sweet words.

Expensive gifts.

Feel like promises are forever.

It is very easy to lose your

heart if you're not careful.

There is a moment where

I almost turned around,

but then I just kept going.

Well, maybe you found

your new calling,

tomorrow Everest.

It kind of made me think

about all of the times

that I've been afraid to,

you know, do the brave thing

when I should have just

gone for it, though.

That's good advice.

Do feel like I should get,

like, a merit badge, though,

or even like a gold star?

Um...

You cannot just take those.

Are you kidding me?

With how much it costs

to stay at this place?

I've already filled my suitcase

with those tiny little shampoos.

And if I can't achieve

spiritual enlightenment,

I'm leaving with something.

Hey... thank you.

It really meant so much to have

you up there cheering me on.

You're easy to root for.

Mr. Evers...

This treatment is designed

to realign

your chakras because your...

My chakras are fine.

Huh? Oh, Mr. Evers.

Mr. Evers.

Um...

- Goodnight.

- Yeah.

Goodnight.

Pretty flower.

Where did you get it?

You know, you and Jake remind me

a lot of Peter and me

attached at the hip

that first week.

When I first met Jake,

he was, um, different.

But now that we've spent

more time together,

it's like I get to see

all these other sides.

Like, he loves to play

the cynic,

but he also really cares

about people.

And he's funny and resourceful,

and...

I just don't think I've ever

felt quite so alive, you know?

But we're in this magical place

with sunsets and beaches and...

I'm just worried

I don't know what's real.

Don't talk yourself

out of a good thing, Annie.

I mean, I'm only here

for the week.

It can't be anything serious,

right?

I think the question you ought

to be asking is,

do you want it to be?

I think-

I think I do.

So tell him.

No, that's not

the price we agreed on.

No, no, I want it,

I want it, I do.

Um,

how long can you hold it for me?

Now?

Okay. Um, give me 15 minutes.

I'm on my way.

Opening up the feet,

lengthening through the spine.

And opening with the feet,

grabbing around the fabric.

Dropping the head down.

Relax your neck.

- Thank you so much.

- You're welcome.

Appreciate it, and you

can work with the price.

I am so grateful to you

for working with me.

I know you've had

other people bidding.

But thank you so much.

I've been waiting for

this for a really long time.

I can wire you

the money this afternoon.

Annie!

What are you doing here?

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Ahoy!

So Jake and I had lunch plans,

but time just kind of got away

from me, you know.

He could have just waited

till we were back on the dock.

Uh.

We had reservations.

Um, Colin just bought this boat.

Isn't she a beaut?

I've been putting it off, but

this whole actualization thing

made me realize

you got to seize the day.

Carpe diem, my man.

I sent you an update.

I didn't get it.

Okay, well, I sent it,

and reception's bad

here over at the Marina.

So sorry.

I told you not to take

any unnecessary risks.

I told you that.

I told you that.

I know.

What if that had been

the real diamond thief?

I understand, but it all

happened very quickly.

He's talking about making

a major purchase,

and I was worried

we were gonna lose him.

You know what?

This is a huge mistake.

I never should have dragged

you into this.

You didn't drag me into it,

I volunteered.

You could have been hurt!

I wasn't.

I think you should go back

to the resort,

enjoy the rest of your retreat.

Thank you for your help.

I don't need it anymore.

Annie.

Jo?!

What are you doing here?

Oh, I wrapped up

my meetings early,

and I caught the next flight.

I wanted to spend

the last two days with you.

I'm so happy to see you.

Do you like him?

That's a yes.

Doesn't matter.

He doesn't feel the same way.

I don't know,

it just sounds like

he was scared

you could get hurt.

Which, by the way, you could

have been hurt.

Can we please talk

about something else?

Okay.

When can I meet him?

So, what was on your list?

What was on yours?

Cover of Ford's before 45.

I'm working on it.

I was kind of thinking maybe

I'd reapply to law school.

Annie, that's a great idea.

Why the hesitation?

Is it?

Or is it just kind of

going backwards

like something

the old Annie would do.

The old Annie?

Yeah. I mean, wasn't the point

of all this

to come out of it

just something more?

I didn't invite you here because

I thought you needed to change,

and you've always put

everyone before yourself,

and that's an admirable trait.

But I wanted you to take

the time to figure out

what made you happy.

Will going back to school

do that?

I don't know.

It would give me debt

until I'm 60.

If it's money, let me help you.

I can't, Jo, but

that's so kind of you.

I think if this is something

I'm going to do, it's just-

it's something

I got to do alone.

I know that things are

complicated between us, but

I don't want to leave here

with any regrets.

Woo-hoo!

At least tonight the guests are

all in one place.

It'll be easier to keep tabs

on their movement.

The party is in the gardens on

the north side of the property.

Hello?

Ah, yeah.

Keep track of their movements.

Wow. She really did

a number on you.

You know what, Annie getting

on that boat,

it was completely reckless.

What was she thinking?

Sounds like someone I know.

Yeah, well, either way,

this is our last chance.

Because tomorrow morning...

everybody...

is gone.

So let's focus on

what's important.

Okay.

Let's go.

- He's so funny.

- He is funny.

Lara.

- Thank you.

- Thank you so much.

- Cheers.

- Enjoy.

Thank you.

Nice to see you back here.

Hi.

Okay.

Oh, sorry.

Yeah, these are my friends.

- This is Joanna.

- Nice to meet you.

- Carolyn.

- Good to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

This is Kimberly.

Sorry, sorry.

Got a live one here.

The week has passed too quickly,

my friends.

But my sincerest hope is that

you return to your worlds

with a new drive

and determination.

Thank you for joining us.

I hope to see many

of your faces again.

To success.

Because life's too short

to not go after what you want.

So which one is Jake?

- Uh... glasses.

- Un-huh.

Purple tie.

He's cute.

Who says he's even here?

I mean, everybody's here.

Mustache?

No.

I'll figure it out eventually.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hi. Good to see you.

How are you?

- Congratulations.

- Thank you very much.

So nice to see.

It was really special.

Peter did brilliantly.

He hired a band and everything.

Oh, I think I see someone

I know somewhere else entirely.

Excuse me just a sec.

Yes. Of course.

Listen Jake I wanna say

that I'm really so...

What?

Oh, he's going somewhere

in a hurry?

Yep.

Let's go.

You look great.

Thank you.

Oh, Annie, I want you to meet

my boyfriend, Mac.

Hi. So nice to meet you,

Annie Collins.

Hi.

Thanks for keeping

my girl company.

She's the best.

Mac, is this your case?

Yeah.

He's been looking for

something just like that.

Just like this.

Do you mind if I take a look?

Well...

It's delicate contents.

I promise I'll be careful.

But of course.

I bought it for Kimberly.

It's a recording equipment

for her vlogs.

Now I have all my gear.

It's handy.

Okay. Honey, we gotta go.

I'm live streaming later.

Oh, right.

It was nice to meet you guys.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- See you later.

- Bye. Take care.

Good luck with the stream.

Thank you.

We've been through every guest.

What if the tip you got

was wrong?

- Hey.

- Hi.

I heard you made it up

the rock face on your first go.

Annie really embraced

the spirit of the week.

I hope you're going to take

some of that confidence home

with you.

I'm definitely going to try.

Uh, if you'll excuse me, ladies,

I have a meeting with Margot,

our herbal medicine specialist.

She wants to go over

some new methodology

before our next group arrives.

Of course, yeah.

It's fantastic!

Hi. I think I know who it is.

Robert!

We were so focused

on the guest list.

I know, look, he

just left the party,

said he was gonna

go talk to Margot.

Margot's away

on maternity leave.

That's why Lara

had to cover her class.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Have you seen Robert?

Okay.

Do you have the money?

I want to see

the necklace first.

It's even more spectacular

in person.

Okay.

Wire it into your account and

you'll be a very rich man.

Better come quick.

I found these two hiding in

the bushes with a camera.

We're on vacation.

He's a birder.

Yes. I got some remarkable

pictures

of the Blue Rock Thrush.

So photogenic.

Well, it's not my fault

you got in the way of

the pictures.

Robert.

Do you know that they're trying

to sell you a stolen necklace?

Yeah. I'm aware.

And you still want to buy it?

I want it.

What do you want to do

with them?

Run!

Get them!

I thought you said these

never ended in a chase.

I said rarely.

Lucky us.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

Ah!

Okay.

Federal agent.

Get your hands up.

You're a cop?

I've been tracking the stolen

necklace from the Met.

So were we.

Uh...

There's been a mistake.

I was misled.

I am the victim here.

I know! I know!

You should talk to her.

What happened to not

getting involved?

This seems different.

Is it?

I mean, the job is done

and we are going home.

Go on.

You're no good to me with a

broken heart like a sad puppy.

Okay, okay, okay.

You can get those pictures

to the feds

and show them what we got?

You got it.

Thank you.

Here I go.

- I don't know what to think.

- I don't know what to say.

Hey.

- I quit.

- What?

Well...

- Excuse me.

- It is so...

May I have this dance?

Excuse me.

I wanted to apologize

for the other night.

No, there's-there's no need

to apologize, really.

I mean, for a while there,

I really did feel like

I was doing something that made

a difference.

Oh, you were.

I could not have done this

without you.

Really?

Do you, uh, want to know

the phrase I used to remember

your name?

Really? Yes, yes.

But, you know,

you don't have to tell me.

Jake is a really good guy.

It doesn't rhyme.

It's still true.

Okay.

Oh!

Jewel thief Look at this!

Oh. It looks like the word

is out

about our esteemed host.

X.

She's his ex-girlfriend.

Yeah.

So, uh,

you must be relieved

you finally found

what you were looking for.

I found... more

than what I was looking for.

What are you gonna do

with your cut?

My cut?

Of the reward money.

I mean, you definitely

get a piece of it.

You earned it.

I mean, like, what kind of money

are we talking about here?

What?

- Yes, yes.

- Are you serious, really?

Yes, I'm serious.

I mean, if you want, it could

put a pretty healthy dent

in law school tuition.
