[bunniefuu]

Previously on "The Arrangement"...

You want me to play the girl on your arm?

So you can do what?

What's your big secret?

I just flat out lied
to the person that I love.

And it was easy.

Enjoying the job?

Yeah, I've always loved movies.

Ah, so you wanna be an actor?

Recruiting Wes?

Is this your attempt at punishing me?

m*rder-su1c1de
at the Institute of the Higher Mind?

How much do you want?

It's not money I'm after.

You can tell your Mr.
Anderson the case is closed

and the files are put away.

I can't watch Terence control Kyle anymore.

I'm ready to meet your friends.

Make sure you pack the burner phone.

Ten years ago, a girl named Julie Woolth

joined IHM.

Terence told her they were
gonna make her an icon.

And then she just vanished.

It should be in the IHM system.

It's the last thing I'm
gonna ask you to do.

I promise.

According to sources,
the Kygan wedding could happen

any day now, but guests

Shaun texted me.

She wants to talk.

Maybe my pep talk worked.

You talked to her?

I went to see her at IHM

what they have to say.

I've heard enough.

She will go public with anything you say.

Tell me I'm wrong.

You're right.

But I promise I will
take whatever media heat

comes our way, but I can't expose Terence

without your story.

Aaron? Think about what you lose.

What?

This place is a prison.

The money's for you?

Yeah.

And my sister, she takes care of me.

Which is why I have to
tell Terence they're here.

Then do it.

But you're... but you're
not protecting your brother.

You're protecting Terence.

Jules, I know you're
worried about the money,

but it's been ten years,

and they just show up at our door?

This isn't divine intervention.

They can't protect you.

That's exactly what I'll do.

You say that now.

I've known Megan for years.

When she says she's gonna do something,

she'll do it.

We need to know the truth.

And I need to tell it.

The payments are hush money.

For this, the loss of my legs,

Terence did this to you?

Terence?

No.

Then who?

♪

Yeah, your fiancé. Kyle West.

Why would...

Why would he do this?

Maybe it's just who he is.

No.

No.

No, Kyle's a good person.

In some ways, I'm sure that's true.

What happened?

♪

We were in Terence's acting class together.

Friends.

And rivals.

We go out for the same part.

Kyle would get one.

I would get one.

We were competitive.

And Kyle just couldn't handle losing.

This was over some part?

Do you remember the movie
that put Kyle on the map?

♪

I got that part.

It was mine first.

So we all went out to some dive on Vermont.

To celebrate.

And we partied.

And we talked sh*t.

I tell Kyle

that I was gonna try to
get him a role in the movie.

Featured extra.

And he snapped.

I knew how he was.

I'd seen him fight before.

But this was different.

I didn't stand a chance when he came at me.

♪

He hit me in the back of the head, and...

It was a trip.

One minute, you're a fully
functioning human being,

and the next, you wake
up in a hospital room.

With a doctor who's asking you
if you can wiggle your toes.

♪

Just from one punch?

No.

That's just what I remember.

Did you call the police?

Of course. They took a report.

But Terence covered it up.

He buried the police
report and bought us off.

We didn't have a choice.

He made it very clear that
we should take the money

and never come back to L.A.

That was our arrangement.

So now you know.

What are you gonna do?

I'll drive.

Hey, you don't have to go home.

So, did you hear the good news?

Wes scored a guest spot
on "Highland Falls."

I did.

And you know their casting
director, don't you?

What do you want him to do? Pass?

No, I didn't want him
submitted in the first place.

And you're just upset
'cause he came to me first.

No, I wanted to give him an opportunity,

which is what he needs.

He's not ready.

Then coach him up.

It's not like I'm phasing
you out of the process.
