Twin Lies (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Ah

Mmm ah

Nothing last forever

Not even ink under the skin



Is it bad that I love it?

Is it good?

Do you want it?

Give in to me

I get high on

the way it feels

When I take your time

Get on, get off

Don't talk, don't

you make a sound

It's easy to pretend

you're in love

When you get a good show

You can't let me go

Oh, it's now forever

No doubt

it's a greed for show

Make more money

than you know

What you think, I'm the CEO



What, I'd rather beat ya

Now you're fronting,

I made you sweat

Not touching you,

but look stressed

I'm a touch of a beast

I'm a touch of a beast,

beast, beast, beast

[gasps]

Beast, beast, beast

beast, beast, beast

Okay, didn't we talk about

you sneaking up on me like that?

I'm picking music today.

Hey, Mr. Cupid, look my way

Make sure you listen...

One oat milk latte, Paulie.

Just punch it in, Nina.

[steam hissing]

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Your usual double shot?

Or did we wanna mix it up today?

When's your break?

Let me take you by the end

And show you all

the fun you have

When you go down,

down, down, down

I just wanna be the one

To show you all

the fun you have

When you go down, down

[gasps]

Hey, how much

did we clear today?

[sighs] Um, 11 each.

- [Paulie] Oh.

- For a whole freakin' day.

You know, we would make

so much more money

if we sold our beans in bulk

and did our pastries in house.

Yeah, maybe you

should buy the place

and you could spend

even more time here.

And before you ask,

you can close, okay?

- Thank you.

- Mm-hmm.

I could also pick up

your Friday...

Don't push it.

Plus, don't you wanna go

on a date with your boyfriend?

Oh. No, he's just a regular.

Uh, a hookup buddy, you know.

It's a situationship.

You're messy.

He wants something more.

No, he doesn't.

- It's chill.

- You're not chill.

Go. Bye. See you tomorrow.

Don't forget the trash.

[bell rings]

[exhales]

[phone chimes]

She's engaged?

Come with the tagger

Bring another hammer

No, I've been the baddest

Put me on the banners

Crushing in your fate

Well, I am the answer

I like to risk,

call me anti-matter

It's a new era,

come and get this

I was in the gym, now I'm

racking better, put the...

f*ck!

I don't do good

[indistinct chatter]

Well, look who's here.

Nina-banana. C'mere. [chuckles]

Nina! I didn't know

if you'd make it.

What are you wearing

on your feet?

[chuckles] Your sister's running

late. She's stuck at work.

[Nina] Oh, classic Victoria.

You know, always working so hard

of course she'd miss her

own engagement party.

Did Victoria end up

asking you to come?

Because she told me not to

tell you about any of this.

Well, she didn't, but

her husband-to-be did.

When was the last time you had

a proper chat with your sister?

She's really thriving, you know.

Ooh, chat? I don't know.

Christmas, Easter?

Easy on the wisecracks, kiddo.

This is your sister's

special day.

And, oh, she's really something.

She's really making her way up.

- And Ryan is so supportive.

- Oh!

She got a big promotion,

bought an apartment downtown,

and you weren't

at the house housewarming.

This divide,

it upsets your mother.

We don't have to

get into it now,

not on this special day.

I just hope you and your sister

can set aside your...

Beef?

Nina, it is so good to see you.

Thank you for coming.

There he is!

The man of the hour.

A-rod guys.

[laughing]

[screaming] Congratulations,

lovebirds.

- Ooh!

- Penelope. Penelope.

Wrong sister.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

[Victoria] Hi, everyone!

Sorry, I'm late.

[gasping]

[indistinct chatter]

[mom chuckling]

Where's the wine?

It's tryna seal in right

Winning the model twice

But if the feeling's right

We're gonna be

lit all night

Don't be shy, be free

[indistinct chatter]

Yo, what's up, Nina?

How's law school?

I dropped out so bad, I guess.

Okay, that didn't make

the family newsletter.

Yeah, 'cause

I'm the family disappointment.

I'm not in law school,

and I have $150k in debt.

Oh, I'm sorry. Isn't your

family, like, rich as ba*ls?

Why don't you ask your sister

for some of that fat

promotion cash money.

No, there is no way

I'm asking for any handouts,

especially not from V.

Oh, uh-oh, drama. Spill it.

No, it's not drama.

We just grew apart, you know?

Or I-I pushed her away, I guess.

- Mm-hmm.

- It is what it is.

My whole f*cking childhood,

we-we wore the same stuff.

I-I-I just...

I want to do

my own thing, you know?

- I-i-is that so wrong?

- Ugh. I know. I'm sorry.

I'm just in so over my head.

Victoria just asked me

to be in her bridal party.

Wait, but she-she chose

her bridesmaids?

Yeah, I'm shocked

I made the cut.

Literally, a second cousin.

Yeah. Yeah, that's-that's cool.

[chuckles] Oh, but, I mean,

I can barely tell you two apart

so I'm off to a bad start.

Oh. Well, look,

I just got this bad boy,

and V definitely

doesn't have one.

Eight. Not number of

Harry Potter movies.

Okay, bu-but it's like, no P...

[Penelope] I only needed six.

Watch how I move

Ha! Ain't nobody

stopping me

I'm doing what I do

[laughter]

They're just tryna copy me

Uh, hey...

Uh, I got another call

from the collection agency

again today looking for you.

Sweetheart,

if you need any help...

Yeah, dad, I-I-I got it.

Okay? Won't happen again.

- [sighs]

- Love you.

Uh-huh.

[sighs]

You won't see me calling

Wondering what

you see in me

[phone chimes]

Wear your ego like

an accessory

Ugh. Screw everyone

in a real job.

You're a little dressed down

for work today.

Excuse me? You too.

- [bartender] Bad day?

- Horrible.

Um-hmm.

I need to stand. Can I,

can I just get the bill?

Your guy has got you covered.

- Hm?

- Like always.

[indistinct chatter]

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

[clicks tongue] Thanks.

You always did like

making me wait, you rascal.

Nice of you to buy.

What's, um, what's your story?

What's my story?

I miss you already.

That's my story. Look,

I want you to take this.

- Oh.

- Sparkly and diamondy.

For sure. Th-thank you.

Because I don't want you

to forget me.

Never.

[inhales sharply]

My love. God,

I'll miss you so much.

Mmm, I'll miss you so much.

I'll be strong. Oh...

[indistinct chatter]

I'll-I'll see you

in a bit. Okay?

What are you doing?

Oh, are you upset I found that

you've been having an affair?

Okay, I'm not having an affair,

okay? This is work.

- That guy thought I was you.

- Hey...

He said, I'm gonna miss this.

- It's not what you think.

- Right.

- He is, he's one of my clients.

- Right.

So where's your ring, then?

And why the hell

is he giving you jewelry?

I'm an escort.

Okay? Are you done?

[scoffs] No, no.

You're joking.

Holy sh*t!

- Holy sh*t.

- Okay.

Consulting, huh?

Yeah. I-I am a consultant,

in a way.

- Right, right. For sure.

- Okay, just listen. Okay.

Remember that first job

I got after my undergrad?

- Sure.

- Getting in

at a global banking startup.

That looked good.

But everything I told mom

and dad was complete bullshit.

I had no way

of making ends meet.

Then one thing led to another,

and now I work exclusively

as a consultant with UHNWI.

You know,

you can just say escort.

It's ultra high

net worth individuals,

people with a net worth

of at least $30 million.

[scoffs]

There's no way anyone

knows about this, right?

- Holy sh*t. Does Ryan?

- No.

- Um..

- Does he?

Uh, uh, he doesn't know

exactly everything,

but, um, he knows

about the income.

Look, I'm not ashamed

of what I do at all,

but there's a stigma.

That's, that's reality,

and now that I'm engaged

I just need to make

a fresh start.

Cash out, get out,

that's a wrap.

So, what's up

with the dude outside?

- A lot of my Johns...

- Johns.

Are, um, upset

that I'm quitting. Okay.

So I'm just running

into a couple challenges

making a clean break.

What are you gonna do?

- Should we...

- Uh, okay. Okay.

This is above your pay grade.

Do not tell anybody

about any of this.

I'm handling it.

I won't. I promise.

Thanks, ladies. So generous.

[sighs]

- Big night last night, huh?

- Yeah.

I may have been

a little bit drunk.

Sorry, I couldn't make it out.

Oh, all good.

Honestly, last night

was fricking crazy.

But nice to see you.

Even though I hate this place.

If it's any consolation,

I hate my job too.

Oh, I feel so consoled, Curtis.

What is so bad about your gig?

Uh, well, my boss

is a nightmare.

I have crippling insomnia,

and, um, I'm insanely

overdue for promotion.

So then ask for it.

Yeah, sure.

No, that's so easy. Yeah.

Well, like, that is. Just ask.

Make the time on his calendar

and demand his respect.

Okay.

See that guy over there?

Always losing at backgammon

'cause he never slots

his five-point early enough

to get positional advantage.

Positional advantage?

Seize the day.

Okay? Sack up and ask.

This one's on the house.

[bottles clinking]

- [spray hissing]

- Nina, it's me.

Are you trying to blind me?

Are you trying tokillme?!

- What the f*ck, stalker?

- I needed to talk to you.

And you had to pick

the most intense way

of figuring that out.

I don't know where

you live anymore.

You know,

I thought about calling,

but this is a conflict that

needs to happen in person.

When did you get so jacked?

Ryan owns a Muay Thai gym.

That's, that's how we met.

Okay, Wonder Woman, let's go.

My apartment's a few blocks up.

- Wait, we're walking?

- Yes. Let's go.

[man singing in French]

Okay. Lay it on me,

you little stalker.

What's up?

- What is that?

- Juice.

- Cheers.

- Thanks.

Okay, I've said goodbye

to all my regulars,

but I have one last date

on the books.

[Victoria] Super VIP.

New client, one date,

5K an hour.

He's already met me, he's

already given me the deposit,

but he's only here for one week.

And Ryan already planned

this weekend getaway thing.

Okay...

Here's my pitch.

- You go on the date as me.

- [scoffs]

[Victoria] I already have the

deposit, so I'll just keep that.

But then you can keep

all of the hourly,

plus any tip you tax on,

and he will tip.

You can fix your car.

And it'll take a huge chunk

out of all

of your law school debt.

I would bail if I could,

but I've already signed

a bunch of contracts

and an NDA...

W-w-wait.

- Would I have to...

- What?

- You know...

- Have sex?

No. He's looking

for companionship.

But come on, that's what

he's paying you for, right?

No, a lot of people think that,

[Victoria] and that's

actually not the case.

So if physical intimacy

isn't part of it,

then sex is completely

off the table.

So let me get this straight.

I am the only person

who could do this for you?

Well, yeah, he's met me,

so it's gotta be "me."

And I could just say no.

You're right. You could.

Wow! Wow!

This is such an exciting

change in our dynamic.

Maybe you'll even ask me

to be a bridesmaid.

Mm, I wouldn't push it.

Okay.

So what are we talking

money? Like, all in math?

After tip? 30K minimum.

It's pretty good.

And what about this?

- Can I keep it?

- Of course, you pocketed that.

Sure, Nina.

You can keep that also.

Nice. Okay, screw it.

I'm down to cosplay

as you for a few bucks.

I'll put on a dress, eat

some lasagna, call it a day.

We're gonna have to

find you something to wear.

Try this.

[scoffs] Okay, dude. Come on,

it's-it's really not my style.

It should be. Okay,

I'll give you some privacy

But here is what you need

to know about David.

David Linx, CEO of Linxell Inc.

Known for charity

and do-gooder sh*t.

Buddies with Zuckerberg, Elon.

He's in the billionaires'

club, but...

not cool enough

to go to Burning Man.

Kind of a loner,

never been married, no kids,

always traveling.

Cruising on the highway

Okay, let me see you.

- You look pretty good.

- I look like you.

Yeah. I mean, you need a blowout

and a manicure desperately.

- Here.

- Cool.

- What's this for?

- Your new work phone.

That's the number David has.

Are we all set?

Yes, ma'am. Let's do it.

Uh, I will be keeping

this dress, though.

- No, you won't.

- Yes, I will.

And definitely the change.

I-I might need a few more.

Of course.

I look good.

Ah

Nothing last forever

Not even ink under the skin

Is it bad that I love it?

Is it good?

Do you want it?

Give in to me

I get high on

the way it feels

When I take your time

[elevator dings]

Victoria Dawson.

Come with me.

- [bodyguard] Phone.

- Uh.

Turn around.

Hands against the wall.

Now.

[gasps]

Come in, and take that off.

Mr. Linx will

be with you shortly.

[door closes]

[breathing shakily]

[exhales]

Don't touch that.

It's very expensive.

Sit.

Sorry. Hello.

It's nice to see you again.

[David] Security

is very important to me.

Thank you for understanding.

Nice to see you.

[hiccups] Um...

How-how was, um, the flight?

You're nervous tonight.

You weren't before.

No, I-I just get

the hiccups when I'm...

Nervous.

I collect boards. Do you play?

[hiccups] Um...

This is firestone marble

and black granite.

These are calledmen

I think. Right.

So sexist.

Stand.

You're different than before.

Um...

[hiccups] It's just, um...

It's just me.

[gasps]

I k*lled them.

Your hiccups?

[chuckles]

Yeah. Yeah.

Thanks f-for the scare.

Wine.

[gasps]

f*ck!

- Oh.

- f*cking idiots...

- Hey, hey.

- Don't touch me.

No one likes a piggy boy.

I, um, poured us some wine.

[sighs]

You also reset the board.

Victoria...

do you want to play?

Hey, man. Elevator's busted.

You know where the stairs are?

You're not supposed to be here.

[groans]

Two minutes max

before he wakes up.

- [Bruno] You got eyes on David?

- Can't see a damn thing.

Oh, wait. Hello.

- A woman.

- Do we know her?

Not yet.

She's a new target.

Let's roll.

Boom.

No one's ever beat me before.

That was a nasty blitz

at the end,

I-I didn't mean to...

No, they let me win.

Every single person in my life.

My COO,

my chief of staff, they, uh...

[David] But you're fun.

You're a surprise.

Should we have some whiskey?

I think you read my mind.

Can we just get real

for a second?

Sure.

Why do you choose to,

I don't know,

hire someone like me

if you're not looking

to do the deed?

[laughs]

Do the deed?

Are you in the 8th grade?

Oh, come on. You-you seriously

don't wanna...

Sex is the least

interesting thing

two people can do together.

Really?

Tell me more.

It's primal.

It's a reductive weakness.

It's a distraction.

It's a mere offshoot

of the thing that truly binds

and breaks people.

Power.

And I want as much

of that as I can get.

So now my question

to you, Victoria.

Rematch?

Let's go.

We could sit in silence

and never be heard

Your eyes speak

a million words

You already lost

when you started to play

And now you're just a pawn

in the devil's game

[groans]

- [gasps]

- Oh, sorry.

I'm hooked on solitaire.

Where's the other guy?

I don't know. I'm on call, and

I got the call, so here I am.

- Is David...

- He's been gone for hours.

I'm just holding down the fort.

- So I'm done.

- Yep.

Phone's on the table, doll.

Mm.

[David]Power.

And I want as much

of that as I can get.

[bodyguard] Now, if I were you,

I'd check under your pillow.

Oh, right. Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah, it, um...

It looks, looks pretty good.

Yeah.

50 bands?

Okay!

When you're gone

I feel so down

Then you come back again

And we spend, spend, spend.

Dude. Dude,

I freaking crushed it.

Like, I was awesome.

Anyways, I know

you're busy touring venues

and can't pick up the phone,

but I nailed it.

You're in the clear.

Just call me back,

or don't. Whatever. Bye.

Cash was everything

around me, baby

And if you ain't

getting no money

Like you do rain, b*tches?

I just want the bag,

all I want is cash

Take you to

the money, running fast

I just want the get

all around my neck

Boy, bounce if you ain't

talking about a check?

Scrub.

Morning, miss.

I'm Agent Petersen,

and this is my colleague,

Agent Bruno.

[Petersen] Are you

an associate of David Linx?

- No.

- You just spent

the night with him.

Well, I-I fell asleep

there, I-I didn't...

Can we come in? We'd like

to ask you a few questions.

Sorry, I-I wasn't

expecting company.

- It's normally really...

- What's your full name?

Uh, it's me, uh,

Victoria Dawson.

So, uh, what's, what's going on?

What are you guys doing here?

We can't say much,

but we're investigating

potential criminal activity

involving Mr. Linx.

Did you and David discuss

any of his business dealings

last night?

No, no, we had an intense

backgammon tournament.

Honestly, kind of

bizarre flirting, right?

[chuckles] I don't know,

but that was...

This dude's a real kook.

We're looking to bring in a CI.

A criminal informant.

Our case has

developed to the point

where we need someone

in David's inner circle

to provide us some intelligence.

He's very deep in

some M&A conversations.

Mergers and acquisitions.

We need to identify

all the companies

David's courting to buy Linxell.

On top of that,

he's very tricky to track down.

Did he say how long

he'd be in town for?

Um, a week, I think.

But, uh, the plan is

I'm never seeing him again.

[chuckles]

Bye.

Last night was it.

So, um...

I don't think

I'll be of much help.

- Sorry.

- But you slept over.

Any other woman

he was fraternizing with

they generally leave

after 15 minutes.

- 30 tops.

- He bores easily.

Trust us, you'll

be hearing from him.

Appreciate your

cooperation, Miss Dawson.

Okay. But I-I seriously

don't think I can, I can be...

We'll be in touch soon.

Thanks for your time.

[door closes]

[phone chimes]

I just want the bag,

all I want is cash

[knock on door]

I told you guys, I-I can't help.

- What?

- How did it go?

Oh, what are you doing here?

Uh, we had to come home

early. Ryan got out.

Food poisoning.

Also, I need that dress back.

Probably worth more

than a month's rent here.

We have a problem.

What do you mean

we have a problem?

Your message said

that you k*lled it.

Okay, yes, I-I did k*ll it.

But did you just see

those two burly guys

leaving my apartment?

- Uh-huh?

- Yeah.

That was the FBI.

The f*cking FBI was here?

What? Do they think you're me?

Or do they know you're you?

They think it's you.

Okay. Th-that I'm you.

Why would you lie and tell

them that you were me?

I don't know. Because I-I

was you when I was with David.

This is very bad.

Very bad, Nina.

Feds looking into

David and now me?

- You're good.

- No, I am, I am not all good.

- Not all good at all.

- What do you mean?

All my purses, my shoes,

that dress I am.

I-I-Iskimmedit all.

All these high net worth guys

they have these house accounts

with couture designers

and anytime one of them would

leave a phone or laptop open,

I would, um...

I'd occasionally go on it

and charge everything I wanted.

I mean, everything

in my closet. It's...

Stolen. It's stolen?

[Nina] That's great.

That's just great.

I should never have

brought you into this.

[Nina] Yeah, you shouldn't have.

But I made 50 Gs last night.

That's how good I was.

Right, it's a combination of him

being super rich, super lonely.

- Beginner's luck.

- Really beginner's luck?

Is-is that why he hired me

the rest of the week?

- For how much?

- I get to set the price.

Okay, look, you may think

this is easy money,

[Victoria] but it's not. Okay?

David is a powerful guy.

If he finds out that you've

talked to the FBI even once.

Holy sh*t. I need

to take over from here.

You need to take over?

[chuckles] You really think

that's gonna fly?

Okay, have you ever seen

a backgammon board before?

Hmm?

- Uh...

- Uh, uh, exactly.

David may think I'm you,

but he knows me.

We may look the same,

but we are completely different.

sh*t.

[sighs] Fair. If we're gonna

do this for real, though,

you're gonna have to learn a lot

more what it takes to be me.

Easy.

Rule number one.

This is your office.

[Nina] What?

On the loading dock?

No, the hotel.

Wherever you are.

When you go into the office,

you check your

personal life at the door.

When you leave the office,

work stays behind.

And if you ever need to

leave work unexpectedly,

you'll need this.

This card right here

gives you access

to the staff-only staircase

that you can get to

from any floor.

That exit right

there is the door.

And know if you need to

use it, do not hesitate.

This is your out.

Okay, Um, what's

rule number two?

- Be ready for anything.

- Dude.

Your turn.

When you're at work,

the only person

who has your back is you.

Show me your right hook.

[groans]

Okay, I-I'll rally, I'll rally.

You gotta be able

to work under pressure.

Say David orders A5 Wagyu ribeye

and he wants your opinion

on the 2015 Chteau Margaux

or the Opus One Bordeaux.

- What's your pick?

- I don't know.

Don't ribs usually go with beer?

[sighs]

Okay, we're gonna have

to get you an earpiece

so I can supervise.

- Oh, hi.

- Um, how can I help you?

- When's the next date?

- How did you know...

We know a lot more

than you think Ms. Dawson.

Tonight. He didn't

say what time.

He just said, be ready.

Okay, but how did

you know I worked here?

And where's your big,

scary partner guy dude?

He had a bad breakup here

once. But don't worry.

We're doing everything

we can to keep you safe.

We have less than a week,

so get all

the information you can.

Business, personal,

just keep him talking.

[bell rings]

Can I get you anything to go?

All set, thanks.

Safe out there.

Uh, your usual?

Uh, Sure. Yeah, yeah,

yeah, please.

And I-I just wanted to

invite you to my birthday party.

It's super low key.

Casual. Just friends

at my place. Thanks.

Yeah, yeah, nice.

Um, I mean, send me the details

I'll-I'll try to make it

Cool. Cool, cool, cool.

Um, by the way, I, uh,

I, uh, I took your advice

and I-I got

in touch with my boss.

Dude, that's awesome.

- Yeah.

- Yo, up top.

- Okay, all right.

- Nice.

[both laugh]

Um, oh, um...

I'll leave you to that,

but I guess

I-I hope I see you later

for more than a high five.

Oh, more? Wh-what do you mean?

Can you explain

what you mean by more?

- [groans]

- Ooh. Ooh.

[David] You

disappeared last night.

Nobody knows where you were.

You're gonna tell me

who you're working for?

Okay.

- [groans]

- Ooh!

[sighs]

Ah, dude, watch it.

[phone chimes]

Okay, can you stop moving?

This is an incredibly expensive

piece of technology.

I'm sorry. He just texted me.

He said I gotta

be ready in an hour.

Okay, uh, let me

just test this out.

See, things are about to get

a whole lot worse for you.

Owww! Jesus!

Sorry. Wait, um, say something.

Something, something.

I can't wait to f*ck up

the wine order tonight

while I collect intelligence

for the FBI.

Good. It's working.

What was that?

- That look right there?

- Nothing.

Okay. He just texted me

to wear high heels.

Ordered it.

Kind of weird, but kind of hot.

Yeah. [sighs]

I forgot to tell you

about rule number three, babe.

Do not catch feelings.

Obviously.

This guy is clearly nuts.

Zero danger there.

Mm-hmm. It's

the most important rule.

Okay, do not catch feelings

for any of your Johns

or anyone he knows.

- Strictly business.

- [sighs]

- Yeah?

- Yes, yes.

Whatever. You got it.

Now can you get me some heels

that aren't gonna blister

the sh*t out of my feet?

Can I just wear

my crocs actually?

I want that green

Go get that green

I want that green, green

You talking about

I'm a savage

Nah maybe you average, yeah

I ain't about

not to have it

[Victoria]If anything

weird happens, I'm here.

V, you don't have to

helicopter-escort-parent me.

I got this.

- Hey.

- Good evening, Miss Dawson.

I ain't about

not to have it

I want that

green, green, green

What you see?

What you mean?

I'm talking about

my whole team

When we come,

we gonna leave

We leaving with that

green, green, green

So do you want my phone now, or?

You keep that.

David said you're good.

[elevator dings]

- So no blindfold either?

- Nope.

Bummer.

He's got a different

kinda surprise in mind.

- Hello.

- [Victoria]Stay calm.

I am with you.

[Nina] David?

Come in here. I have

something to show you.

I was gonna buy you flowers.

But I thought this

would be a lot more fun.

[chuckles] Oh, my God.

Are these for me?

They're probably more

my taste than yours

but we can courier

in anything you like.

Thank you.

[Victoria]Okay,

he's a gifts guy.

Stay cool, keep involving him.

What about this one?

[Nina] I mean, you seem

like a red guy.

I'm gonna give you some privacy.

It's okay.

Oh...

[Victoria]Did you just strip

down in front of him?

Oh, my God, Nina.

There is an art to the tease.

Can you help me?

[sighs]

You-you're very spunky.

[clicks tongue]

Like a glove.

What do you think?

It's perfect. Classic.

You're gonna fit right in.

[Victoria]Okay. He's into you.

Your energy's working, I guess.

Stay spunky.

Fit in where?

Bar Bristol. I bought it out.

[Victoria]Bristol's

close to here.

It just got a Michelin star.

Mention that.

Ooh, a fresh Michelin star?

Oui, s'il vous plat.

Mm. Okay. This is really good.

[chuckles]

Uh, I hope the 2004 Dom's

hitting the spot.

It's not quite

as good as the 2003.

I mean, I kind of do like it.

I didn't realize

we were on a budget.

Oh, yeah.

Choose drink tonight.

Okay.

So that guy

who brought me up tonight,

he said you trusted me.

Does that mean

you have a little crush?

Enough of a crush

that I don't need to

make you wear a blindfold.

What happened to that other guy?

Aren't you a curious cat?

It was an innocent

question, okay?

He's the only person I've met

in your big, fancy world.

As a business owner,

I need to make

some very difficult decisions,

navigate slippery slopes.

He just wasn't trustworthy.

[Victoria]Nice opening.

Um, you can fish

for company names now.

Okay, so what is

your best Linxell advice?

You know all the other

guys in the market.

Should I be buying crypto?

You want a bias?

If I were you,

and I had 5 billion,

I would invest it in

Linxell Nuclear Energy

or any branch of Linxell.

Sloan Capital might buy us

from Maby Maxtero Tech.

That's enough business.

But what I really want to know.

Little Victoria,

what were her dreams?

Honestly, not much of a dream,

but I wanted to run

my own lemonade stand.

- Lemonade?

- Yes.

- It was good lemonade. Okay.

- I'm sure it was.

That's a fledgling entrepreneur.

So did young David dream

about all this?

What was he like?

I'll give you two words.

Overconfident and overlooked.

I couldn't get anybody

to listen to me or my ideas.

So there I am, in my 20s.

I'm working 18 hours

as an analyst a day.

I need extra energy,

so I pick up a coke habit.

But here's the thing.

I was smart enough to

get to know my suppliers.

Fast forward,

I find the capital to get

Linxell off the ground.

Look at me now.

Look at you.

The only person you need

to bet on, Victoria,

is yourself.

I'll be back.

[Victoria]You hanging in there?

This is a marathon.

I'm good. I'm honestly

having a pretty good time.

[Victoria]Okay.

Rule number three.

Just flagging in case

you're flirting for real.

You're, um,

you're doing a great job.

Thanks.

[Victoria]Okay, signing off.

[David] Let's get out of here.

Not yet.

I need to show you something.

What is this place?

Once it's renovated

and I add about 20 stories,

it's going to be

one of our offices.

Just closed the deal today.

Cool space, right?

It is super f*cking cool.

What was this place?

This was a camera

manufacturing plant.

See, I used to be

an amateur photographer.

Oh, really?

I actually went through

a photo phase.

So you set this up for me, huh?

Show me your skills.

I plan on it. Sit.

Okay. But I am

a really bad model.

[camera shutter clicks]

See, that's my only pose.

I hate my smile.

I don't need you

to smile for me.

- [David] Hmm.

- [camera shutter clicks]

Infinity tattoo.

I know, it's basic.

I, um...

I got it the day

I dropped out of law school.

[Nina] To carve my own path,

create my own happiness.

[laughs] It's stupid.

Caught your smile.

[exhales sharply]

[camera shutter clicks]

Kiss me.

[camera shutter clicks]

[rattles]

Shutter's stuck.

[exhales]

You're a dangerous woman,

Victoria.

You're a disrupter.

Interloper.

If I were a weak man,

I'd break my rules for you.

[inhales sharply]

Let's see what we got.

It's gorgeous.

[phone vibrating]

- Oh, come on.

- It's a f*cking PR nightmare.

What?

My ex CFO's kid

is trying to stage

some kind of social media coup.

Good, f*cking luck, as*h*le.

I had him blacklisted

from every single college

he got accepted into.

Why?

His dad was my partner

at Linxell.

He said, he believed

in my mission

and then he took

my f*cking ideas

and he starts his own company.

Do you know what that makes him?

That makes him a f*cking rat.

And do you know what I hate?

People who lie to me.

I hate rats.

f*ck!

Gotta go deal with this.

[door closes]

[handle rattles]

David?

[banging]

Hello.

Let me out.

Let me out of here.

David's driver took him outside.

Come, I'll take you home.

[Victoria] Okay, so explain

to me what happened.

I don't know why you're

hysteric dealing with.

- How? Anybody would.

- Dude, okay.

I got paid, and the agent

said, I did a good job.

- It's fine.

- It's not fine.

Okay. You were literally

trapped in a room.

Yeah, but I think

it was an accident.

Look, David trusts me

and I trust him.

He's not some evil

corporate overlord.

Hey, how much longer

is your break?

The milk locker

needs to be cleaned.

I get 30 whole minutes, bro.

Clean it yourself, dumb a*s.

Okay, Nina,

I'm being serious, okay?

If my John's right about David,

he's a lot more dangerous

than we think.

Your John is probably

just jealous.

David has accomplished a lot,

even when no one

believes in him.

Okay, I'm seeing him tomorrow.

Hopefully I'm not late

to the bridal shower.

Thank you for inviting me,

by the way.

Yeah, I mean, mom

thought it'd be nice

if you were there, so...

Oh, right, mom.

Look, um, David stuff

is priority right now.

Yeah.

- Keep me posted on details.

- Mm-hmm.

[Spanish song on radio]

Hey, you know you missed

your boyfriend this morning

- since you were late.

- David?

If that's your situationship,

not boyfriend, then yeah.

Oh no, no. It's just Curtis.

- What about Curtis?

- sh*t, Curtis.

Happy belated birthday.

Can I come in?

[chuckles]

You can stay over if you want.

I know we've been

pretty casual, but...

I've just got

the craziest day tomorrow.

But maybe next time, okay?

[sighs]

Are you making the bed?

Aren't you getting back in?

Yeah, I like it neat.

Okay. You're funny, buddy.

Buddy?

Wow. Is that what I am to you?

You haven't really had the

what-are-we conversation yet?

No, we're-we're

seeing each other.

Yeah, definitely.

[Nina] I'm bad

at explaining this stuff,

but we're good.

Yeah.

- Cool.

- Good.

Happy birthday.

See you soon, okay?

[sighs]

You've got to be kidding me.

Stunning.

[exhales sharply]

[breathes deeply]

Uh, I am so sorry

about the other night.

Things went sideways, fast.

I hope that you're hungry.

I, um, I see you bought

the place out again.

Impressive.

- Is someone else coming?

- Oh, yeah, it should be quick.

It's some mid-level guy

from the nonprofit arm.

I don't wanna be the kind of CEO

who doesn't commune

with his staff.

Plus he sacked up

and emailed me directly,

so I figured, why the hell not?

Plus, it might be fun for you

to watch me make him grovel.

[chuckles]

Eat this.

Welcome.

Hi. [chuckles]

Thank you, sir.

I, uh, I'm-I'm Curtis.

Curtis, the go-getter. Sit.

Curtis, this is Victoria.

Victoria?

Hi. It's, uh, nice to meet you.

Well, I, uh, wanted to thank you

for making the time.

Give me the rundown.

When did you start?

What is your story?

Well, I-I've only ever

worked for Linxell, Sir.

Started as an intern and kept

moving up the food chain.

What made you decide

to email me?

I... [chuckles]

Actually the, uh, the girl

I've been seeing encouraged me.

[chuckling]

You're good for that.

Ah, you need to try some caviar.

Mmm.

And, uh, you know I've been,

I've been reporting to your team

for some time now. I-I...

Yeah, I gathered,

your e-mail was compelling.

Solid plan for restructuring.

So...

give us your pitch.

Been living this life

for a long time

[David] So, I said,

"Mark, 1950s called

they want their strip

mining back."

That's exactly what I was...

But that's the whole

point is that

there was always an eco

sustainability mandate.

Exactly, and that's,

that's that's why I think

we can really make

a greater impact.

Agreed, it's very

innovative. I like it.

Well, I, uh,

I don't wanna take up

any more of your time, sir.

I can imagine you're very busy,

so why don't we circle back?

No need.

You deserve a title change.

I want you to report

directly to me.

[David] I don't want

your ideas being funneled

through some mid level manager.

They'll be a-a salary

increase, of course.

I'm gonna be here

until the weekend.

I will see how it goes.

Okay. Wow,

thank you so much, sir.

- Really...

- Stand up.

- Shake my hand.

- Will do.

And by the way, if you keep

working hard like this,

you might score

some tail like that.

[David exhales sharply]

Thank you again

for your time, sir.

Really appreciate it.

It was lovely to

meet you, Victoria.

You too.

Well, we're gonna

make a buck off that kid.

[chuckles]

Oh, my God. I-I am so sorry

I'm late, but I made it.

- Hi.

- You missed it.

Damn, girl. You clean up good.

Did you get caught in

the bridge traffic too?

Yeah, and, like,

some other things.

But, um, what-what

did happen there?

Um, they found a body

floating in the river.

I think they pulled it up, like,

where I just like went by.

Oh, no worry.

You didn't miss much here.

Basic girls, not b*tches,

women giving your sister

the same nightgown.

Three times.

Three times.

[chuckles]

But great shower.

You don't have to do

guilt dishes.

I know you'll be working.

- How'd it go?

- Um...

Super easy.

No snags at all.

Okay, just saying, if this were

getting to be too much for you

you'd tell me, right?

Yes, 100%. Trust me.

Okay, I trust you.

Ooh, did Victoria just

ask you to be her bridesmaid?

Nope. Still proving

my freaking mettle, I guess.

Ooh, whomp, whomp.

Oh, also, I found a news article

about the guy they pulled

out of the river.

Wait.

Hot, right?

[Penelope chuckles]

Dead hot.

[Petersen] He unloaded

all this intel over lunch?

Yeah, I found that

he's super chatty

when he's drinking espresso.

So I seized the day

just for you guys.

That's good work.

We're on top of

11 different companies

in M&A discussions,

thanks to you.

That's great.

I'm-I'm happy for you guys.

O-okay, so h-he's here

for a few more days.

How much more info do you need?

You got into bed with David.

Now you've got to sleep

in it, metaphorically.

[Petersen] I don't

know your arrangement.

I don't know your arrangement.

Okay, but what about

that security guard

that just got pulled out

of the river?

What's gonna happen

to me if stuff goes wrong?

We're not at liberty

to discuss that.

You guys don't care.

We'll continue to do

our best to protect you

if you do your best to help us.

We're in the home stretch.

We need a copy of David's speech

from the Linxell Gala on Friday.

[Petersen] We know he's got

a major announcement plan

on the company restructuring.

Once we've got that info,

we'll cut you loose.

And make sure there's

no problems with David.

Okay, so I get the speech,

a-and then we're done?

[Nina] This is over?

Sure. You need a ride somewhere?

No, no, actually,

I would just love it

if you drop me here by myself

in the middle of the night

in an empty parking lot.

We'll take you downtown.

Miss universe,

miss universe

Miss universe,

miss universe

Miss universe,

miss universe

[knocking on door]

- You gotta stop calling me.

- Gotta stop? I'm sorry.

Okay. Can we just talk?

Let me explain.

Look, I get it. I get it.

I know you might be

seeing other guys but...

No, I-I'm not.

Okay, that's the thing.

It's just you.

Is he your boyfriend?

Do you love him?

You're in love with him.

- Oh, my God.

- No, no, no. Stop it.

When we first hooked up,

you said you were not looking

for any commitment,

so I was following your lead.

Your lead. I didn't

wanna lose you.

He is not my boyfriend,

okay? At all.

You know how your work

revolves around David.

So does mine.

What do you...

You're-you're a barista.

Yeah, fine. I'm-I'm a barista.

But I'm also David's escort.

[sighs]

"Victoria."

Yeah, That's my alter ego.

Um.

How many, uh...

How many times

have you had to...

- What? With him?

- With...

God, no. No,

Curtis, not, zero.

[scoffs] I-it's a special

arrangement. H-he's lonely.

All we do is play backgammon.

[scoffs]

Curtis... I really like you.

[sighs]

[scoffs] And... I get it, okay?

I-I-I screwed up.

I-I-I push people away.

But that's what I do

when I care, okay?

[Nina] Or even worse, I just

freaking keep them around.

So that's what I did

with you, okay?

I-I put you in a box, uh...

A "not boyfriend" box,

to protect myself.

That lunch made me realize

how much of

a f*cking idiot I was.

[sighs]

Sorry.

All my life I have followed

the f*cking rules.

Colored in the lines,

crunched numbers.

But then I meet you.

[Curtis] And you

pushed me away, yeah.

But you also pushed me

out of my comfort zone.

I wanted to ask you to be

my girlfriend for months.

For the sake on

my birthday, I almost...

So ask me then, just ask me.

David would lose

his f*cking mind over this.

- You'd have to be...

- Discreet?

Yeah. He can't know, ever.

I'll break it off

with him soon, okay?

We just need to keep

it underground

and then it'll just be us.

Okay.

It's getting kind of

late. Did you, uh...

Do you want to ride home or?

Locked inside, taking time

To figure out how to

break all the chains

Seeking how to reach the top,

don't wanna start again

Got in breaking,

moving down

- Is it okay?

- Yeah.

Don't pick me up,

touchin' the ground

[chuckles]

[breathing heavily]

[chuckles]

Oh, hey, it's him.

He's calling.

- Answer it.

- Right now?

We both know he hates

getting his calls declined.

Answer it, and I can

still make you come.

[chuckles] You wish you could.

Is that dare? Oh, it's on.

- I think it's...

- Ciao!

[breathing heavily]

Hi, David. Mmm.

Yeah, that's good.

Yeah, yeah. I'm...

I'm-I'm really good.

No, I feel that stuff

is not boring at all.

I'm listening. Yeah.

So you know where they

send misbehaving glasses?

They get sent to prison.

- [all laughing]

- Cake!

And that's exactly

why I think it's best

that none of Dad's

cousins are coming.

- They're so boisterous.

- [chuckles]

[Victoria] I mean,

the guest list is perfect.

We didn't want

more than 100 anyway.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's perfect.

Uh, I'm sorry.

We must be boring you.

Oh, me? No, no, I'm,

I'm just a little beat.

I've got two jobs now.

- That's great.

- Yeah.

- Why didn't you tell us?

- Mmm.

Too busy hustling, you know?

[chuckles] What's the gig?

Mmm, so would it be more

impressive or less impressive

if I told you that

V help me get the job.

[laughs] Hey, what do you mean?

Are you V's assistant?

No, Dad.

And thank you for that

soul-crushing denigration.

- [scoffs]

- I'm consulting. Just like V.

[inhales] Watch

your tone, please.

Mmm.

But guys,

that is the boring part.

Okay, the more exciting part

is that I have a boyfriend.

Well, that's pretty impressive.

Well, my goodness,

tell us about the guy.

Should we invite him

to the wedding?

No, we, we haven't even met yet.

I think that'd be great, mom.

- Uh, what's he do?

- He works at Linxell Inc.

Can I chat with you

for a second?

Oh, I'd love to, dear sister.

- Huh!

- Hmph!

Twins.

You know, they got that

telekinesis thing. It's...

[Victoria]

Are you out of your mind?

The one f*cking rule!

I cannot believe

you fell for David.

- Nope. Wrong.

- Wrong?

Guess you don't know

everything after all, huh?

What was that about Linxell?

His name is Curtis.

I knew him way before

I knew David from Linxell Inc.

He just happens to work

at Linxell with David.

Mm, so yeah, it's a, it's

a little bit messy right now.

You-your personal sh*t is not

what matters right now, okay?

The fact of the matter is

you can't handle this juggle.

The risk of your new boyfriend

being your VIP escort

client's employee.

- Holy sh*t. This is a disaster.

- Really?

Because I have been handling it

all just freaking fine.

Including my job as

an FBI freaking informant.

[scoffs]

You are not fine, babe.

Do not be gone, descendant babe.

You're not my boss.

And I'm the one

calling the shots now.

I apologize, okay?

I'm just, I'm just

trying to watch out

for the both of us here.

It's a little late.

I gotta go.

Someone's gotta clean up

the mess we made.

Running like a hotshot,

look at where I am

Taking all the heat like

a summer in Japan

Bought up all

this ice cream screaming

'Cause I can't let you

taste all the sweetness

Melting in my hair

Got a boom boom boom

With a cherry on top

Big attitude

with the sprinkles all up

Fresh and free

when I talk that talk

On the shore of that shake

and I'm never gonna stop

- Hey you.

- Hey you.

You look incredible.

Lucky for my rules,

I have a chaperone.

You remember Curtis

from the lunch meeting?

Yes. Hi.

Hi. Victoria, right?

It's nice to see you again.

Uh, I can just

head out now, sir.

No, no, no. You stay.

Victoria, we're running

late on a lot of business

we got to finish. Lots to

finalize before the gala.

So I stole Curtis from HQ

and I actually might

take him with me when I leave.

Well, you know what?

You boys finish up. I'll just...

No, no, no. Stay.

Sit right next to me.

So, Curtis, uh, how close are

we to finalizing a statement?

This cannot be funneled

through PR assholes.

- No leaks. Just us.

- Uh, we're-we're close.

We're close.

Uh, but you know what? I...

I think I just could use

a-an hour alone with it.

So, I, I'm just gonna

finish this up at home, sir.

- [Curtis] If you don't...

- Sure, that's fine.

Just get it to me

the second, it's done.

Yeah, well, I mean,

the draft on there is nearly it,

but I'm just gonna make

some final adjustments

[Curtis] to the closing remarks.

[David] Okay, But

the strategic shift is crucial.

This has to inspire

nothing but confidence.

I cannot have shareholders

getting spooked.

[Curtis] Yes.

[exhales]

I have a theory about you.

What is it?

Curtis... has a crush on you.

[chuckles]

I-I don't think he does.

Is he your type?

Curtis? No.

Well, then, am I your type?

You cannot be defined as a type.

Don't do that.

Tell me the truth.

Do you like me?

Would you be here

if I weren't paying you?

Close your eyes.

Close them.

[David] Do it.

[inhales]

- See.

- [gasps]

I think you are lying.

Because what I would bet

is that what you're thinking is

I need... a new necklace.

- [exhales]

- [chuckles]

It's like a backgammon board.

I love it.

Firestone marble

and black granite.

And I want you to wear this

to the Gala tomorrow.

[Victoria] Still closed?

Yep. Tell me when.

And you're 100% sure

you want me to see it now?

Yes. Screw tradition.

Ready when you are.

[Victoria] Okay.

[song over music player]

[Victoria chuckles] Ta-da!

Wow, you are gorgeous.

Okay, d-do not cry.

If you cry, then I'm gonna cry.

Yeah, that would just

be so lame of us.

- Incredibly.

- Mm-hmm.

[chuckling]

Should I go grab

champagne to celebrate?

I think we have to.

I, um, also bought a garter,

but, um, you're gonna have

to wait to see that.

Oh.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

The hunt begins.

Oh, yeah, I know where this is.

Of course,

I should have told you.

Okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

How many times

do I have to say it?

- Please don't keep saying it.

- Ryan, I'm begging you.

You can't talk your way

out of this one, Victoria.

I don't even know who you are.

And just to be clear,

I'm not upset about the work

you were doing, okay?

It's the fact

that you lied to me.

To me by omission.

Please, just

don't give up on us.

No, I-it's too much to process

right here, right now.

Ryan, no, no, please, just stay.

Please, I love you so much.

I'm out. I'm out. Okay?

Hey!

Try checking your

six more often.

We've been on your tail

since you left the hotel.

It's Curtis' place, right?

So David doesn't know

about how you two...

[scoffs] Okay, I-I pulled this

from a laptop at David's.

It's encrypted,

but you guys have people

who can figure that out, right?

- Nice work.

- So we're done?

You know, uh, we don't

know what's on here yet.

So your job is to make sure

he stays in

that hotel room tonight

at the Gala until we do.

We'll let you know if the speech

can move forward as planned.

What? No, no,

tha-that's insane. Okay?

You guys said if I got

the speech, we'd be done.

You can finish this job or aid

in the obstruction of justice.

I don't know

how you guys expect me

to trap a grown man

in a hotel room.

Get creative.

[knocking on door]

Door's open.

- [Nina] You're still working?

- Yep.

Just doing my job

like, uh, you do yours.

Look, I-I know last night

was a little weird,

but we're okay, right?

[inhales]

Pick me.

What?

Pick me. Not him.

We'll figure it out.

I can't.

You can't. Okay.

It's not like that, okay?

I-I just can't right now.

- I-I'm not choosing him.

- I can't compete for you.

I don't have

a private jet, I know.

And I'm sure

that he can give you

literally anything

you want in this world.

But I can give

you something real.

Look, I need you to trust me.

[phone vibrates]

[sighs]

[scoffs] Yeah.

You know what? Um...

No, it'll be, uh,

it'll be easier this way.

I think, uh... I'll go back

to my boring life,

and you can go back

to your, um, thrill ride.

Oh, Curtis.

You should take that.

[phone vibrates]

Let's lie for ourselves

I want you, no one else

Act like I'm yours to

lose, I'm begging you

- Why didn't you answer my calls?

- What are you doing here?

You left the door unlocked.

Real smart by the way.

I've had a busy f*cking day.

Please don't ride me.

I needed to update you

and you didn't

answer your phone.

Sorry for caring.

Caring? Caring?

- Yeah.

- You don't care about me.

If you did, you wouldn't have

pull me into this whole mess.

Listen, this is the one time

[Victoria] I have ever

asked you for anything.

All I've ever done

is freaking bail you out.

Remember junior year

spring break?

You got too drunk and

I wrote your SATs for you.

Remember that?

God, I committed a casual

f*cking felony for you.

And you still had the audacity

to call me

an uptight brown noser

until you finally just ghosted

me to become your own person.

- What the f*ck was that?

- Are you happy now?

You're good, right? Yeah?

You got that off your chest?

Why don't you just go

plan your stupid wedding?

Ryan and I broke it off.

You know, I thought

my own sister might care

that my whole life

disappeared in one day,

[Victoria] but it's good

to know you don't.

You know what?

Let me just take one

more thing off your plate.

Let's go back to the way

things were before David.

I don't need your help anymore.

I don't need anyone.

Get out of here.

You're in way over your head.

[door closes]

[line ringing]

I might need your help.

Gotta take the floor

Late night call

Synergy like a ritual

Well, well.

Didn't expect to hear

from you again.

Of course, you look amazing,

which is annoying.

Need a whiskey neat, please.

- One...

- I'm fine for now.

You were the only person

I could think of

to ask about David Linx.

Linx, he's a f*cking prick.

That guy is a wolf dressed in

charitable businessman clothing.

Thank you so much.

Do you still have

those law enforcement

connections of yours?

Yeah... that is

pretty much all I got

after he bulldozed my life.

What do you know about

the FBI's case against David?

What case? There's

no case against David.

I know everyone over there.

ATS been looking for a guy

named Petersen for a while.

He's a narcotics kingpin

invested in Linxell

before it was a behemoth.

But nobody ever watches David.

Trust me, I'd know if someone

were working a case on David

because I've been building

a case against him for years.

What is that?

That, my dear lady,

is enough dirt

to bury David Linx

for the rest of his life.

A raging storm

Lost at sea

This is just a fantasy

Why am I

Lust and bone?

It's a coup

- [Nina] David?

- In here.

Hi. You look nice.

- What's wrong?

- There's a rat.

I have a rat.

Somebody's trying to f*ck me

and my hands won't stop shaking

and I got to go give

this speech in ten minutes.

Just take a deep breath.

Who's calling you?

[phone vibrates]

Sorry, I-i-it's not important.

I couldn't decide what to wear.

Would you help me pick?

[chuckles]

I was gonna give

you those later.

I run one of the largest

companies in the free world

and there's only one thing

I can think about.

You.

You've rocked me.

I'm gonna take you.

f*ck the rules.

I can't. I have to give a

f*cking speech in ten minutes.

No, stay.

I brought you a present.

Wow.

For me? Okay.

But you first.

This speech is gonna

go really well now,

knowing I have

you here like this.

You're gonna be my reward.

[banging on door]

Who the f*ck is knocking?

[Petersen] Hi, Linxy.

Happy Gala day.

- Pardon the interruption.

- No, no, no.

- What the f*ck are you even?

- Nice room.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Thought you were gonna

use those on him.

But good to see

you're not going anywhere.

Simmer down, Linxy.

[exhales] How did you know

where I was? Who's been talking?

Your little girlfriend here.

- [Petersen] Real chatty.

- And real stupid.

Totally bought me and Bruno

as FBI agents. [chuckles]

- Sorry about that, sweetheart.

- David, I-I'm-I'm sorry.

What the f*ck do you want?

Read your little speech.

Not great for us.

Even worse for you.

Is that the way you show

respect to the men

who helped build your empire?

You're a drug dealer.

You gave me seed money,

money I never should have taken.

But you did, didn't you?

Bought my coke, took my money,

and now you think

you're too good for me?

I will pay you back every

single penny plus interest.

The deal was,

if Linxell does well,

I come calling

for my rightful due.

Half of what

the company's worth.

You have no idea

what it's valued at.

I want my half, Linx.

So you're gonna go downstairs

like a good little boy

[Petersen] and make your speech

with a few adjustments.

You're not stepping down as CEO.

You're not selling the company

till I get my money.

Bruno, take him downstairs.

And David, just as a reminder,

I need you alive.

- But I don't need her.

- No, no!

[groans]

Stop it. Stop!

- [g*nsh*t]

- Stop!

[grunts] So is that all

you got, huh, you rich boy?

f*ck.

[groans]

[growls] You're dead.

To the reality

[thudding]

[breathing heavily]

And both stay strong

Never bring me down

It won't be long, ooh

Evil rich m*therf*cker.

[g*nsh*t]

Hey. Hi. We'll be, uh,

we'll be starting soon.

We're just waiting

on David, okay?

See you in a few minutes.

[indistinct chatter]

Nina?

If you're gonna pretend

like you don't know me,

then we might as well not

even acknowledge each other.

Okay? We're going to need

some ground rules.

- Curtis.

- Are you serious?

Look, okay, I don't have

time to explain this,

but it's about Nina.

She could be in trouble.

- Do you know where David is?

- What? What do you...

If you show me where he is, I

will explain everything to you.

Okay, yeah. Right this way.

[groans]

Are you all right?

Not an ideal outcome,

but that's the price

of doing business.

Did you take care of this one?

[groans]

So you were the rat.

[David] You just

threw yourself at me.

I took the bait.

Was any of it real?

I thought they were the FBI.

You k*lled him for me?

- Yeah.

- That shows loyalty.

Come here.

Loyalty is the most important

thing in the world to me.

- And you ruined it.

- [gasps]

Since we're telling secrets

did you ever want to f*ck me

or was it always Curtis?

[yells]

The world is gonna think that

you're FBI friends or clients

and this was just a f*ck

that's turned m*rder-suicide.

Oh, so sad.

You are nothing to me.

[gasps]

What? No tattoo?

Is there anything about you

that isn't a f*cking lie?

I'm not who you think

I am, as*h*le.

We're f*cking sisters.

[grunts]

- [breathing deeply]

- [Nina] You okay?

Are you okay? What happened?

He woke up when I went

to plant the dossier.

Well, the police are

on their way. Where is it?

Oh, it's there.

Have fun in jail, f*ck-head.

We got to get out of here.

I talked to my guys.

They want to keep

it clean and on David.

We just need to not be here

by the time they get back.

- Did you drive?

- No, but I got us a ride.

Remember how to get out?

Of course. Rule number one.

Locked inside, taking time

To figure out how to

break all the chains

Seeking how to reach the top,

don't wanna start again

Got in breaking,

moving down

Desire flushing,

you figure out

Don't pick me up,

touchin' the ground

[Curtis] Hey! Hop in.

- Shotgun!

- Shotgun!

Locked inside, taking time

To figure out how to

break all the chains

- You can take it.

- You can take it.

It's yours.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Victoria.

Oh, my God. That's gonna

take some getting used to.

[tires screech]

["Canon and Gigue in D Major"

by Johann Sebastian Bach]

[sighs] It looks perfect.

You did such a good job

with the hair.

Hairdresser, maid of honor,

wedding planner.

- I mean, what can't I do?

- Ah!

You know, it really

was such a good idea

just to do this

at mom and dad's.

Small weddings are so chic.

But who am I gonna hook up

with if it's only family?

- Grandpa Bill?

- No.

- Grandpa Phil.

- No way.

Okay, well, my co-worker

from the coffee shop

is coming later

with an espresso cart.

- Paulie. Yes.

- Yes.

I think it might be

a b*mb between you two.

Okay, okay. The co-worker?

I think you mean

employee, Miss boss lady.

Okay, you know what?

I guess I am a boss lady now.

[chuckles] You know,

Ryan and I will be

at the Grand Prix

opening next week.

V, you seriously don't need

to cut your honeymoon short.

No, I would not miss a thing.

- You're the best.

- I don't mean to be a narc,

but you've got a groom

waiting downstairs.

- I do, right?

- Mmm. She's right.

- Okay.

- Oh, God. Okay, wait.

- Um, I have to pee.

- Pee. You got this.

Okay, I'm gonna go find

some more champagne,

or maybe a couple bottles.

Maybe a boy with a champagne.

Okay, hot.

- Shut the front door.

- Dude, thanks.

[chuckles]

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Just want to bring you these.

- [chuckles]

Your, uh, mom's

a real drill sergeant.

Well, that means she likes you.

Bossing people around

is her love language.

Oh, yeah? What's yours?

Mine is handsome men helping me

with all the legal paperwork

before opening next week.

Funny. Wow. You know, I think,

I, I think I just another guy.

- Ooh, really?

- Mm-hmm.

[sighs] Well, thank you

for coming today.

I know all of this isn't

exactly taking things slow.

I may have said that,

but I knew things with

you would never be slow.

[chuckles]

[Victoria] Sorry to interrupt.

[gasps]

Wow. Wow. Oh, my God.

You look, you look beautiful.

Uh, these are,

these are for you.

Um, that one's Nina's.

What? Oh, I thought

I nailed that.

Your mom was

really specific. Sorry.

Curtis, you really

can't tell the difference?

Apparently not, uh...

I guess I'm better with people

than I am with flowers.

Anyways, I, uh, I'll catch

you guys down there.

All right. See you in a bit.

- Okay.

- [Nina] See you in a bit.

Cool. Bye.

[chuckling]

Men are so gullible.

So gullible.

Don't stop the beat
