Previously on "The Arrangement"...

- Wes, right?
- Yeah.

Do me a favor, leave him alone.

What exactly are you trying to tell me?

I had feelings for his mother.

Sorry, this is my agent, Leslie Bellcamp.

I think we'd all just be happy

if we never had to see her again.

There's a fan poll,

and it's about who should
be the next Agent Jane.

How do they know I'm even up for the part?

Ten years ago, a girl named Julie Woolth

joined IHM and then she just vanished.

There is no record of
Julie Woolth anywhere.

People remember her.

Maybe these people are lying to you.

I saw how you help people.

And now with First Life,
I know I believe in this.

I'm not giving up.

My lab has isolated a hormone

that prevents cell death.

You're talking about immortality?

- Great, I'm out.
- I fired him.

I'm an actor, I need
to stop hiding from it.

But I'd like to see if we could
set myself up with a franchise.

The climate's changed, you know that.

- And your face comes with some noise,
- _

Not the kind of noise that
everyone wants to hear.

_

- My advice?
- Yeah, I'm not interested.

Go ahead and tell the truth.

It always makes the truth feel better.

Are you a therapist or an armed robber?

- Hey, I'm complicated.
- That's impressive.

I'm still not going to sit here
and talk to you about my sh*t.

Well, we might be here for a bit.

No need to be strangers.

No, I'm okay with being strangers.

[DEEP VOICE] I'm okay with being strangers.

- [LAUGHS]
- That's a cut!

Great, can we get playback on that, please?

All right, come watch it back with me.

I have to jet to my audition, remember?

Oh, that's right. Well,
break legs, sweetie.

I will try.

Hey.

- That was fun, right?

Leslie, hi.

- You have a client up for this?
- Martina Flores.

This is her second time
meeting the director.

Oh.

- She's great.
- Yeah, yep, she's amazing.

Is Karen stuck in traffic, or...

She's at the office
with the rest of the team.

Always so busy at Creative Partners.

And less helicopter-y, which works for me.

How's Kyle?

Kyle's great.

Come on.

Even "Deadline" is saying

he freaked out about you and Xavier.

- What happened?
- Nothing.

We're getting married in four weeks.

Kyle's happy, your ten percent is safe.

[SCOFFS] Stop, I don't give a sh*t

about my ten percent. I care about you.

What is it, a million bucks?

Yes, but that's not my first concern.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Hey, how'd it go?

It went.

Uh...

Nice to see you.

I may not remember who I am,

but I damn sure know who I'm not.

Now who sent you?

Great, that's great. Give us a minute

You've nailed everything
we've thrown at you.

- Let's talk.
- Sure.

Tell me what you think of the script.

Well, it's a great read.

Jane is a badass.

And she's funny, which I love.

I just...

I think there might be
some moments missing.

Like what?

Well, I think that she
could wrestle with the idea

to leave Steven a bit more.

You know, in real life,

love makes everything
so much more complicated.

Yeah, well, maybe the five
guys that wrote this script

have never been in love.

[LAUGHS] Maybe.

You're the first
actress who's had the nerve

to be honest with me, so I'm
going to be honest with you.

I would love to get my
hands on your instrument.

But what I wouldn't love,
what I'd hate, to be honest,

Is a bunch of the
Institute of the Higher Mind

bullshit on my set.

The stuff I'm reading about
Xavier Hughes being recruited

- makes me queasy.
- Me too.

Because it's not true.

I know there are a lot of rumors out there.

But I keep my business with IHM

completely separate from my work.

Completely.

Another good answer.

Thank you.

Your name is Oliver Kent, a mid-level spy.

Son of a disgraced government actuary.

IQ, photographic memory.

Self-deprecating humor, you're funny.

Weaknesses: Broken women, Vermouth,

Jack-In-The-Box.
You're driven by fear.

And a need to prove you're not your father.

- I see this guy.
- Good.

Sergeant Stone is America,
but you've done that movie.

Oliver Kent is the guy
watching America burn on TV.

Is that a good thing?

Right now, it's the thing.

We're not perfect, answers aren't simple.

But we're doing our best to find them.

Sounds like we just found IHM's new slogan.

We found our next movie.

It's going to be huge.

All right, I'll contact
Ellen at the studio,

let her know I'm grateful
she stuck her neck out for me.

Work matters.

I'm getting married in a month.

I wanted Terence and IHM

out of the picture completely.

That can still be the goal.

Hey, how fast can you pack a bag?

Depends why I need
to get out of town.

It could be real fast.

Well, our production designer's assistant

broke his ankle, so it turns
out that there is a job for you

in Washington after all.

I guess Terence didn't tell you.

Tell me what?

I'm starting the intro workshop tomorrow.

He said that he would cover the fees, so.

Oh, wow.

Are you going to be able
to find somebody else?

Uh, sure, yeah, don't worry. We'll be okay.

Listen, have a great time, okay?

I will call you when I get back.

- Sure.
- Bye.

I just got off with Karen.

"The Identifier" deal is going through.

Great, I will brace for the storm.

She's handling the other issues.

No one will know.

Well, I certainly hope she's
more discrete than you were

when you were recruiting Wes.

Is this your attempt at punishing me?

I kept my distance, like you asked.

He came to me.

Said he wanted something more out of life.

He made his own choice.

Just like you did.

Okay, well, I had hoped that
we could have this conversation

when we were in a better place.

But seeing as I have to go out of town...

Well, I'm sure it can wait.

Well, that's the thing. It actually can't.

If you still want to get pregnant,

I don't have any words, I just...

Don't feel anything, I don't know.

That's okay.

We're going to give it some time.

It's called a non-compete clause.

The moment Kyle attached himself

to a spy franchise at a rival studio,

as per the terms of your contract,

you were done with Agent Jane.

So I'm not allowed to compete with him?

I flagged it for you in the contract.

Just, my head was spinning then.

Look, obviously Terence and the dream team

don't want you to outshine
Kyle at the box office.

Which you would, because you're you.

Thank you, but what exactly
are you trying to do here?

Well, that's a cynical question, Megan.

I still care about you, deeply.

And moreover, I care about feminism.

- Okay...
- And this is...

Take it down a notch or two.

I don't even know if
you're telling me the truth.

Okay, you ruminate on
whether or not to trust

the one person who
believed in your greatness

- before anyone else did...
- Leslie...

And meanwhile, the studio is moving on

to their inferior second
choice as we speak.

So do you want to fix this or not?

Just so you know, I can't resign with you.

Why don't we just deal with that

after you've had time to process?

Weather, power's out.

This is what we have insurance for.

Should we just pack everybody
up and fly them home?

What's going on? Wait,

Just helping out a friend.

Did you know about the non-compete?

The non-compete...

- In the...
- In the contract?

Yeah, that we can't
star in rival franchises?

Which you're not, because
you didn't get the part.

- Uh, wrong.
- The director wanted her,

Karen Wells pulled her to
avoid the conflict of interest.

Kyle?

Look, now that you mention it,

I remember that clause
being in the contract.

But I had no idea you got the
offer on Agent Jane, I swear.

Yeah, and for the record, neither did I.

Where are you getting your
information from, anyway?

Uh, don't do that. I'm good at my job,

- that's where.

Fine, I'm protecting my business interests.

opportunity away from me.

But you know what, the sun
still rose the next day, so...

And then what?

Oh, there it is.

Because you didn't tell
Megan that her audition

for "The k*ll Plan" was more

- It wouldn't have helped.
- So that's why you're here?

- To help?
- Okay, Christ, yes.

Okay, did you come here to help Megan,

or get your ass hucked in a lake?

I'd like to see you try that.

I will krav maga you into next week.

[SCOFFS] I'll call you back.

Picture's up. We have got to go.

Thanks.

Last scene.

We did it together.

This is why it's worth it.

This isn't right. We need to cut.

Cut!

[SIGHS] What's the problem?

Okay, standby, get her out,

and get her a new pair of pants.

Oh, my God.

Okay, Jill, you're in the director's guild.

You're going to have to give this note.

Okay, what's the note?

Okay, um...

She finally knows what she needs to do.

She's terrified, but she's
ready to take control.

Okay.

You finally know what you need to do,

You're terrified,

but you're ready to take control.

What does that even mean?

Seriously?

What are you doing?
You're freaking her out.

- DeAnn.
- Okay.

Okay, I'm thinking.

Look, just tell her not to give up.

- It's a su1c1de scene, Leslie.
- Okay, fine.

No, you got this, you got this.
Just flail away on your own.

Okay, you went to film school?

- Mm-hmm.
- I'm sorry, I don't buy it.

Okay, then you obviously did not see me

masterfully wrangle those cables.

Okay, wait, so you made a film?

Yeah, it was a documentary

about the homeless man
who slept outside our dorm.

- And then you slept with him.
- [LAUGHING]

- Only once.
- [ALL LAUGH]

How come I didn't know about this?

I was literally just about to tell you,

but uh, then you fired me.

- That's awkward.

You know, today could have been a disaster.

It could have. But it wasn't.

We got the scene exactly the
way it was supposed to be.

Yes, we did.

- To us.
- Yes.

Wes, come into my office for a second.

- Am I in trouble?
- Have a seat.

You look better.

I had Jell-o.

Hmm.

How you feeling?

I have an answer to your question.

It's no.

No?

I wouldn't sign the contract.

If we could do it all over again.

But it doesn't matter.

- You don't think it matters?
- It doesn't.

Because we can't go back.

Look.

There are things in our life

You should do your movie.

You earned that part.

You sure?

- You're not still delusional?
- I'm pretty sure.

- What about the non-compete?
- Ah, I'm not worried about it.

Well, you should be worried about it.

Yeah, your movie's going to crush mine.

Because there ain't no I in Kygen.

Oh, my God, the wedding is so off, man.

No, no, no, you signed a contract.

- Hey.
- Hmm.

Hi.

So Roger came around.

Good to hear.

That was some solid research on your part.

He was very, very motivated.

I thought he might be.

And I'm glad you came around.

It feels better when you're on board.

I wouldn't say I'm on
board. Not completely.

- No?
- I'll wait to see

how things go with Isaac.

Whether it's worth putting
First Life on the shelf.

You know what I admire about you?

Most people try and be
who I want them to be.

You're just yourself.

Your best self.

I love you for that.
