You will forgive our debt in full.

It's a small price to pay for all of India, Africa, and the Middle East.

In theory, yes.

I'm gonna go to breakfast.

"Where were you last night?"

Did Bad Benji come out to play?

And did he forget to invite Bad Rhysy?

Bad Benji doesn't get out much anymore.

That's a shame.

Alas, poor Felicity is... on her way to India.

Apparently, you're meeting up with somebody called Reggie.

Rhys, you know who Reggie is.

That's every hour with you.

Don't be mean. I'm trying to help.

There's a job.

Ridiculous money.

But it would mean me keeping you here in Los Angeles for a while.

How would you feel about that?

How does one man operating on his own outsmart us and Interpol and the FBI for three years across two continents?

You think he's working with others?

Or for others.

What's the job?

I think he's part of something bigger...

Rhys: I'm about to reel in a whale, but I haven't got my team with me... a criminal conspiracy.

So I could do with some help.

And you could do with some seed money now that you're out of debt.

It started in Europe...

Margot will never go for it.

And is now here.

So let Margot go to Miami with what's-his-name, and you and I can be bad together.

I can't not tell her.

I think Christopher is just a pawn in this game.

Come on.

You know she's gonna say no.

Not if I can convince you to take a third of the cash instead of half.

Valerie: Don't take this the wrong way, but is the Christopher thing taking over?

A little.

My son Joey is missing.

I called the police, and they're doing everything that they can, but...

Alice: "I can't do this anymore."

What does that mean?

Living with me.

He doesn't want to live with me anymore.

And why is that?

Because he blames me for the divorce.

He doesn't understand why he can't see his mom anymore.

He can't see his mom at all?

They have supervised visits twice a month.

Why supervised?

The court deemed her unfit.

She's bipolar, manic-depressive.

Was she abusive to Joey?

No, but her shrink said that her condition could lead to v*olence, so the judge gave me sole custody.

Do you think Joey's with her?

No, I-I went over there, which was a mistake because now she's losing her mind... what's left of it.

Vincent Singh is the C.E.O. and co-founder of one of the biggest video-game studios in the country.

Forbes has his net worth at just under $400 million.

Sophie: Vincent met Karen 12 years ago when she started as one of his programmers and ended up getting pregnant with Joey a few months later.

But Vincent refused to marry Karen unless she signed a prenup, which Karen finally signed, but only after Joey was born.

I looked into the custody case, and Vincent was right.

Karen has no history of v*olence.

I did find some prescriptions for antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds.

Half the people I know are on those meds.

I am.

I am.

You are?

You are?

How are you not?

I went to Joey's school, and his teachers confirmed that he's been acting out, talking back.

Joey's not a happy kid.

So he wanted to disappear.

Vincent gave us access to Joey's wireless account, which tracks GPS data, and the last known location of the phone was here in Union Park.

When?

Last night at 10:17.

So he's been missing for over 12 hours.

How did Vincent not know that?

The nanny put Joey to bed at 9:00.

Vincent didn't get back from the office till midnight, which, according to the nanny, is not unusual.

So Joey never even sees his dad.

Or his mom.

No wonder he ran away.

Is there any chance the phone is still in the park?

It's a long sh*t, but...

Can't hurt to look.

Sophie: According to the map, the last place Joey used his phone was in this area.

What's an 11-year-old kid doing out here at 10:00 at night?

Trying to get his dad's attention.

Even that didn't work.

He called us and went back to the office.

Did you ever run away from home?

Well, if you ask my mom, she'd say that's what I'm doing right now.

Where is home?

Northfield, Vermont. Population 6,207.

Did you... ever run away from home?

No, that would require having a home to run away from.

It's not just vineyards.

Daddy also owns hotels and restaurants.

Yeah, we know all this.

Don't forget I'm the one who landed us this whale.

Spotted the whale.

We still have to land him.

Now, our Teddy is his father's leading sales rep, but, by all accounts, is a bit of an idiot.

He drives ridiculous cars, dates models, drinks incessantly...

Well, I do all that.

And he gambles.

Now, he's only in town for 48 hours.

He's meeting hotels, retailers, restaurants.

Looking for the most exclusive game in town.

Which we will provide.

But first, we need to bait him, see if we can't make the whale bite.

Leave that to me.

Excuse me.

He will approach me...

Couldn't help but notice the logo on your briefcase.

Is there a game happening in this hotel?

And I will refuse to tell him anything...

I'm looking for Mr. McCaulley.

Thank you.

Which will make him just curious enough to follow me into the restaurant, where I'll be meeting Billy McCaulley, an underground Hollywood high roller, who will ask to see what I'm carrying before he surrenders his cash to join our little game, at which point, Seavers will come to you.

Teddy: Buy you another?

I couldn't help but notice the lovely woman you were talking to with the briefcase.

Look, man, if there's a game going on...

I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.

Okay, do you drink wine?

He's miserable with his father.

Vincent has never been there for Joey.

Then why did he sue for sole custody?

Because of the money.

My son was a business decision.

His accountant showed him a spreadsheet that said it would be cheaper to keep Joey than to pay me alimony and child support.

But Vincent has plenty of money.

Yes, because that's all he cares about... money, winning.

His whole life is video games.

That is the maturity level we're dealing with... mind-set.

That's why I divorced him.

He claims that he divorced you, that you were suffering from bipolar disorder from manic depression.

He paid my psychiatrist to get up on the stand and say that my condition could lead to violent behavior.

He paid off our nanny, Joey's teacher, all of these people, to get up on the stand and testify against me.

If he bribed witnesses, we can take action against him, but you still have to tell us where Joey is.

Seavers is coming off a big win.

That's a dragon he'll chase all night.

We'll drive him crazy in the process...

Stalling out every bet.

Making him anxious, frustrated all the way until sun-up.

And then just when he thinks he can't take it anymore, we'll use his frustration against him.

Anyone else feeling restless?

Yeah, I'm glad you said it.

How about we bring this to a close?

Close?

A Kn*fe fight.

You talking high-card?

Truest gamble in the game.

It's pure luck.

And so you're out?

I didn't say that.

Hmm.

'Cause I go all-in or nothing.

You up for that, slick?

I'm in.

Huh? What about you, kiddo?

Definitely.

But hold on. Hold on.

What do you fellas say we use a fresh deck, huh?

Mine.

Well, that was an extremely fortunate turn of events, although I'm guessing luck had very little to do with it.

Oh, it turns out Rhys was right.

It's all about good tailoring.

Ah.

That's not bad.

That's also what I call a way-too-long con.

Seavers just lost $3 million and walked out of here smiling.

I would call that a success.

Yeah, no thanks to Rhys.

Care to explain why you're not sleeping one off for once in your life?

Early breakfast with a new friend...

Mr. Graham Weatherby.

You just had breakfast with the man who owns this hotel?

And 45 others just like it.

Although Graham is now just a co-owner... with me.

You are now looking at the proud new co-owner of every Weatherby hotel in the country.

And I have you to thank...

Me?

For the sudden hole in Weatherby's schedule.

It's not every morning he gets stood up by a potential investor.

Teddy Seavers.

[Haelos' "Earth Not Above" plays]

You knew he was meeting with Weatherby.

And you used me to distract him.

And then you slipped away... and took the meeting instead.

Which means the Kensington Firm is now officially expanded into North America using our lovely new hotels as fronts all across the country.
