All language subtitles for Dynasty s04e11 A Public Forum for Her Lies.eng

Previously on Dynasty...

I am pulling up the plans
to take the company public.

ADAM:
The mass is a stage four

-glioblastoma.
-I vowed to Blake

to do everything
in my power

to keep our
love alive.

I need you to help me do that.

We can buy our own club.

I'm in.

This whole modeling thing
has changed you.

You're out of control!

I'm doing what I have
to do for my career!

I want you out of Atlanta...
permanently.

I'd offer you
something to get you

through it, but you did say
that was a one-time thing.

Just to get through the party
and get this job.

FALLON:
I may have said bourbon, Amir, but you should know

that I meant scotch
because my castle

isn't in Kentucky,
it's in Scotland.

Just be thankful I didn't fire
you for stealing that stapler.

Fallon seems extra today.

Yeah, her IPO roadshow starts
tomorrow.

She's on edge.
Mm.

I'm guessing it's not a
"traveling the countryside,

looking for quaint
antiques" roadshow. No.

No, normally we would spend
a few weeks on the road

pitching investment groups,
but we need to compress

our timeline, so we're
bringing the road to us.

Which means a marathon day
of meetings

that could make or break
her public offering.

That castle restoration really
put the company in the red.

I had to restore the castle

to get the land
for the offices.

But thank you for reminding me
that if this IPO flops,

I won't only be in major debt,

but I also will have
destroyed my family dynasty.

So forgive me
if I'm a little... Melodramatic?

Tense. Did you know
I'm one of only four women

in America taking
a company public this year?

Yes, I'm also the youngest ever.

That sounds
incredible. It is.

And you have nothing
to worry about.

I have an entire toolbox
full of closing techniques,

and I'm happy to teach
a young dog old tricks.

Aw, as much as I love
being compared to a canine,

I think I'll pass
on your toolbox.

This isn't the kind of
deal that can be closed

with a handshake and a cigar
on the golf course.

You know, C.A. wasn't just
some mom-and-pop operation.

It was literally
you and your pop

running a private company, but
since I'm taking mine public,

I have to bring in the big guns,
which is why Jillian Van Horn

is meeting us
at the office in ten.

-Jillian Van-who?
-Van Horn.

She took Spotify public.

They call her the IPO
miracle-worker, which...

isn't really
the best nickname, but...

you get the point, so let's go.

And I'll get you
up to speed.

[sighs]

Looks like I'm gonna miss

the most important meal
of the day.

And I think I'm gonna probably
end up working late tonight,

too, so don't wait up for me.

You're welcome for the refill.

Although I'm not sure
you deserve it

after how you treated Chloe.

I simply asked
if the coffee beans

were sustainably sourced.

I like my caffeine ethical.

As opposed to the rest
of your life?

Mm.
Speaking of which,

did you find a house yet?

I will not be rushed
in real estate

or breakfast ordering.

I am paying for
my room, aren't I?

Well, maybe you'd
like to upgrade

to our presidential suite?

I could use the extra cash
for the hotel expansion.

There you are.

Angry Anders.
I'm out of here.

Are you insane?

SAM:
Yes!

What crawled up your culottes?

You brought Oliver
to Atlanta,

and put him up in this hotel?

And clearly failed to pay
the staff enough

for their discretion.

You should be thanking me.

You've been trying to end
Kirby and Adam for months.

Not at the expense of
my daughter's wellbeing,

which Oliver puts in danger.

Kirby's wellbeing
is not my concern.

[scoffs] Ah...

But Adam's is.

ANDERS [recorded voice]:
Did you enjoy watching her suffer?

ADAM [recorded voice]:
I made sure she slipped away in her sleep,

which is more than she deserved
after lying to me my whole life.

How did you get that?

The case involving Adam
and his fake mother is closed.

Have Oliver on a plane
within 48 hours

or this goes to the police.

At which point, the case
will be unclosed.

Do enjoy your breakfast.

Good morning.

Huh. Another night out
on the town with your ex?

I promised you
I'd only see Oliver

in a professional capacity,

and that's all
I've been doing.

Oh, right. So you were
professionally drinking,

or professionally
doing drugs again.

We were networking.

Modelling is all about
who you know.

To get the next job,
you have to make connections.

Networking. Right.

When you were trying
to get Chief of Staff,

I did everything I could
to support you.

I know I'm not a posh doctor,

but a little support from you
would still be nice.

Sorry, I just...

I have a lot going on
at the hospital right now,

and I... miss you.

Can we have dinner
tomorrow night?

Oh, I can't.
I have a shoot.

At night? Again?

Sam's letting us use the bar at
La Mirage, and we can't get in

till after the last
dinner seating.

Now, if
the interrogation's over,

I really need to have a shower.

Dominique. Hi.

Um, this got delivered
to the main house for you.

And you're delivering it
yourself?

Should I get the
bomb-sniffing dogs?

Not necessary.

I've been looking for an excuse

to stop by and say thank you.

You played a big part in
getting the manor back

from Alexis, and I'm grateful.

Don't mention it.
She was a horrible landlord.

[chuckles]
Look...

family's important to Blake,

and I'm really glad

he's got his sister
in his life.

I hope you'll stick around.

Thanks.

I guess you're wondering
why I've had

so many packages recently.

Actually, I should probably...

I can tell you're curious.
[chuckles]

Every year, the Atlanta
Fashion Council sponsors

a runway show for
an up-and-coming designer,

and I've been selected
as a finalist.

Good for you.
-I hope it works out. -Who knows,

maybe next year you and Blake
can sit front row

at my Paris fashion show.

By next year,
this place will be on every

must-see list in Atlanta.

With the new venue next door
connecting La Mirage

to Club Colby,
we'll have retail, dining

and an event space
all in one.

Like a little slice of Vegas.

Except not like Vegas.[both laugh]

Please have a look.

Hey, partner. I didn't think
I'd see you until later.

Wait, did I mess up the time?

No. 4:00 p.m. tennis practice.

And thanks again for agreeing

to play with me
in the tournament.

You know the Children's Center
is a charity

near and dear to my heart.

Please, it's the least
I could do

for my new business partner.

Well, your business partner is

actually here on business.

Specifically, an astronomical
bill I just got for

"swan-head purse hooks."

I don't know what that means.

They're an essential.

And really, you don't need to
worry about this kind of thing.

That's the benefit of being
a silent partner.

Except that invoice
made me realize

if I'm paying half the bills,
maybe I should be

a little less silent. Plus...

I majored in business.

I might as well
make myself useful

when it comes to
the bottom line.

Well, I am happy to discuss
the bottom line,

just not right now.

I'm trying to solve
a construction issue.

What issue?

The hotel's a designated
historical building,

so we need approval from
the city council to renovate,

but they don't have any open
hearings for eight months.

We can't afford to wait
eight months.

I know.

And I didn't even major
in business.

I got the name
of a contractor

that has an in
at the city council office.

I'm meeting him at the hotel.

Great. You can explain

purse heads on our walk over.

Mm, purse hooks,
swan heads.

That's what I said.
No.

Welcome to Fallon Unlimited,

a multi-faceted media empire

with a little something
for everyone.

Our radio station syndicates
to 48 countries.

Our publishing arm
covers books,

print media and even
social platforms.

Oh, remember, Fallon,

you've got projectors
on three sides.

-You can't flap your wings.
-Oh, yeah.

Hey, good. You're just in time

to watch me rehearse.
Take a seat.

Oh, no, I've already
seen the show today.

Hmm? What's this?

That's the livestream of
Qualquest's IPO roadshow.

Also produced by Jillian.

TECH EXEC [over iPad]:
Welcome to Qualquest,

a multifaceted
biotechnology group

with a little something
for everyone.

Our researchers are
running trials

in 22 countries.

Holograms?

IP-OMG.

Do you only have one idea?

No, I have a ton.

What I don't have is time
to implement an entirely

new concept on
such short notice.

But you couldn't even write me
an original script?

You don't need one.

Qualquest is a biotech company.

There's no overlap
in your target audiences.

The head of a creative
media company

can't just rip off
someone else's concept.

That is the opposite
of creative.

Let's not overreact.

You're fired.

What?
Mm-hmm.

ALL:
Good-bye. Good-bye. Good-bye.

You heard 'em. Go.

[scoffs]

Oh.
Well, I guess it's time

to get your damn toolbox out.

Hmm?

The metaphorical toolbox.

The one we need to save
the company tomorrow.

I really need it now.

Yeah, I knew what you meant.

I just wanted to hear you
say it again.

Mm.

♪

Cristal, you okay?

I want to make sure Blake
has happy memories

when I'm gone,

and that he doesn't forget me.

That's a little maudlin.

It's realistic.

You said the chance of finding
a clinical trial for my cancer

is about as likely as Blake
becoming a socialist, remember?

Well, then, let's get him
a "Feel the Bern" sweatshirt.

'Cause I found a drug trial
at the Halsted School

for Medicine and Science
in Baltimore,

and they're showing
promising results

for shrinking lymphatic tumors.

Talk to me like
I'm not a doctor.

These tumors share a lot
of characteristics

with the one you have,

so if the drugs
work on them,

there's a slight chance
they could work

in shrinking
brain tumors, too.

I already talked to the guy
who runs the study,

and he's willing
to include you.

Commuting to and from Baltimore

would be hard to keep
from Blake,

but maybe if I told him
I was joining

the advisory board
for a charity up there...

Actually,
it's an inpatient program,

so you'd have to relocate
for six to eight weeks.

I can't move to Baltimore
to join a study

that isn't even
for brain tumors

for a slight chance.

If it works, this could
improve your eligibility for

for surgery by five
to ten percent.

So that's a 95% chance that
these are my final months.

I don't want to spend them
living apart.

Well, if you told him the truth,
he could go with you.

So his final memories
of our marriage will be

hospital food and grief?

What about your family?

Are you even planning
on telling them?

My father and I had
a falling out.

So, no, I'm not,
and it's fine.

I appreciate the trouble
you've gone to,

but... I'm sorry.

What if the trial were
local and outpatient?

What if we could do this
without Blake knowing about it?

Would you do it then?

Theoretically? Yes.

That's all I need to know.

Can I ask you why you're
doing all this for me?

I'm grateful,
but considering our history...

That's all it is, history.

You're family.

Family's
the most important thing.

LEO:
Your architect did a nice job.

Getting you on the schedule for
next week should be no problem.

Great.

That easy?

Yeah. My cousin manages
the city council office.

And you're just doing this
just to be a nice guy?

I'm a businessman.

I charge an administrative fee.

-That's fine with us.
-Unless...

You guys hire
a construction crew yet?

'Cause I'd be willing to waive

my fee if you use my crew.

A project just fell through.

That sounds amazing.
When can you start?

[chuckles] As soon as
city council approves us.

-I'll be in touch.
-Thank you.

Why are you not happy
about this?

You just hired that guy
without asking me.

Or checking his references.

Another hotelier recommended
Leo-- that is his reference.

That might be how you work,
but I like

to dot my I's and cross my T's.

That's business 101.

Maybe, but while you're
busy crossing your eyes,

Leo will take another job
and we'll lose

a good crew
and our spot on the schedule.

Things in the hospitality
industry move really fast.

This is my area of expertise,
so just trust me, okay?

Fallon Unlimited
also prides itself

on fostering
an inclusive environment,

with women and people of
color making up over 50%

of our board-- What?

Oh, save that
for the snowflakes.

Investors want to hear
about the numbers.

I think we should
call it a night.

No. No, we can't.

Jillian already told investors

that we have, you know,
"consciously uncoupled."

Just makes it sound
like I'm some sort of diva

who's impossible to work with.

Amir, why would I want
a cake pop? I'm not six.

Which is obviously not true.

Okay, but you need to use
more tools from my toolbox.

Remember my ABCs?

Accuse, blackmail, cheat.

Accuse the competition
of misbehaving,

always have blackmail
and, if necessary,

you cheat on the financials.

I still can't believe
that your epic toolbox

basically boils down
to "lie, cheat, and steal."

I mean, some of your schmoozing
tips might work, but...

everything is scrutinized
in the public sector.

And I don't want to lie.

I want to do this my way.

Which is what?

Proving that
the Carrington dynasty is more

than just failed marriages,
a torched vineyard,

and two bodies in a lake.

We're a reputable company.

Don't be naive.
No one's gonna care

how many bodies were in the lake

if you're
successful.

Business is business.

Which means doing whatever
it takes to close the deal.

Use the entire toolbox,
all right?

A hammer without a nail
is just a hammer.

It's also a hammer with a nail.

But, yeah, I guess
we're just gonna have to...

agree to disagree
on how we do this.

Wonderful incorporation
of structure and texture.

You've got
a good eye.

I'd like to think so.

I look forward to seeing
your proof of concept.

Mm.

Does anyone have a hose?

Because these designs are
on fire.

Oh, my God, thank you!

PJ: Okay,
everybody,

we are going
to break now.

When we get back,
it's final-step time.

We'll be evaluating
your sample designs,

so be sure to set up
your dress forms

how you'd like
us to see them.

What are you doing in my room?

The security
in this place is terrible.

Since I'm paying,
it's technically my room.

Cheer up,
today is your lucky day.

I am going to pay you
the rest of what I owe you,

and then you can hop on back
to Australia.

Why?

Adam and Kirby are
barely speaking.

I just need a few more days.

[chuckles]
Please.

No, thanks.

I'm set.

This job is good for my career

and the money will be good
when I get paid.

I can make your life
very difficult

if you stick around.

I like Atlanta.

And I like Kirby.

So I'll take my chances.

Now get out of my suite

before I tell your son
who's funding it.

Fallon Unlimited prioritizes

diversity and inclusion.

Our board is comprised

of over 50% women
and people of color.

Now I'd like to direct
your attention

to our prospectus.

As you can see, our five-year
projections show gains

across the board.[quietly]:
♪ A, B, C

♪ D.
And, um...

um, when you invest in us...

...you'll never have to worry
about a national news anchor

at your company
passed out in his trailer

forcing his DUI victims
to sign NDAs.

Hold on, who are we
talking about here?

Oh, no, no, no, no.
Just like I told the guys

before you, I don't traffic
in rumors, so...

What happens at Fairfax
stays at Fairfax.

Fairfax?

Pilman Media Group?

Look, let's just focus
on investing in a company

that is scandal-free
and exponentially growing.

Now who wants some scotch

while I walk you through
our castle renovation, yeah?

[investors murmuring]

Is any of that true?

It will be...

after you make it true.

[chuckling]

Oh, I didn't expect
you to join me.

Well, I didn't expect to go
bald, but these things happen.

I hope you called me here

to tell me that Oliver is
halfway around the world.

If by "the world,"
you mean "this hotel"

and by "halfway,"
you mean "six floors up"?

Yes.

I always knew you were
a dreadful mother,

but I didn't think you'd let
your own son go to prison.

What am I supposed to do?

Oliver likes your daughter
and doesn't want to leave.

Surely you must have
a deceitful trick or three

up those pinstriped sleeves
of yours?

Why don't you use one of those
on someone other than Kirby?

If you are so worried
about Kirby,

why don't you talk to her?

I tried that.

Kirby is not very rational
when it comes to Oliver.

Maybe you should try
some tough love.

You can be kind of a pushover.

Well, this pushover is just

24 hours away
from going to the police.

-Sure.
-Thank you.

Congratulations.

40% of your future shares
pledged.

Yeah, except I feel

like I need a shower
after lying like that.

Well, that feeling
goes away.

Besides, it's not lying
if it's the truth.

Some very colorful
HR complaints

about a certain company
have already been

leaked to The Times.
We're all set.

Okay, so now we just need

Trask Global Media
to make the same pledge

this afternoon and our IPO

-will be bulletproof.
-Mm-hmm.

What do we know
about Warren Trask?

He's worth
about 40 billion,

lives in a split-level
in the West End

and still drives
a '93 Pontiac.

So he's cheap.

I'm thinking we go with C.

We cheat a little
on the restoration numbers,

to minimize
our asset to debt ratio.

I don't think
I've ever been more proud.

Except our financials are
in the public now.

So if this guy does
his due diligence,

then he's gonna see
that the numbers are off.

You know that good ol' boys'
-club you disdain? -Mm-hmm.

Trask's brokerage firm is
practically the clubhouse.

Look, I'll just call in
some favors,

and make sure he sees
what we want him to see.

Great, and then next month
maybe we could get

the castle numbers down?

You know,
so it's actually the truth.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the truth is
more your wheelhouse.

So, we'll deal
with that later.

As the chief of staff,

I want to put
this hospital on the map,

elevate our profile, so...

I propose partnering
with Halsted Medical

on an oncological
research trial.

KAREN:
Not happening.

All the research money for the
fiscal year has been allotted

to the interns you brought in.

So let's just get creative
with the numbers.

Just move some things around.

We got half a million dollars
from the Rosenthal fund.

That's designated to upgrade
our radiology equipment.

A research trial isn't
feasible right now.

Bring it up again in six months.

No, I-I don't have
that kind of time.

We-we don't-- we could be
saving more lives.

And we will, just not with that.

Let's turn
to the janitorial budget.

Housekeeping.

They always say the first thing
to go is the memory.

Card.

[laughing]

Okay.

[gasps]

Where have you been? What does
a cheap billionaire drink?

Should I lose the scotch?

I was talking
to your assistant.

And, unfortunately,
none of this matters.

Trask cancelled.

What? No, no, he can't cancel.

If he doesn't invest, then
we won't hit our target number,

which means the IPO flops
and I'll have to sell assets

to pay for the restoration of
a castle I don't even live in.

Not to mention the humiliation

of being the youngest woman ever
to tank an IPO.

Why are you yelling at me?
It's not my fault

he went in
for an emergency root canal.

Root canal? And he couldn't come
to a simple meeting?

My God, suck it up.

You know what? No.

We will reschedule him
for dinner.

We'll woo him over red wine,
soft foods and painkillers.

Yeah, I tried. It's his
daughter's sweet sixteen.

Apparently,
he's not missing that

no matter how drugged up he is.

Then I guess we're crashing
a sweet sixteen party.

[gasps]
My dress!

Bold use of gemstones,
Kitty-Kat.

I didn't do that.
Someone vandalized my sample.

I'd suggest calling
the fashion police,

but they'd probably arrest you
for bad taste.

I need to talk to the judges.

Afraid it'stoo late

for that.
Thank you all for your patience

as we evaluated
your prototypes.

We were judging
not only your design ability,

but technical skill as well.

I know it's been a long day,
so we won't keep you waiting

-any longer.
-E-Excuse me.

Someone can't wait to make
her acceptance speech, I see.

That's right, Kat,

the Atlanta Fashion Council
will be sponsoring

your runway show
at Fashion Week.

Oh, my God! Thank you!

I'm sorry, but is this a joke?

That dress is a tacky nightmare.

Of course it is.

This was never
about the clothes.

Kat's got
500,000 Instagram followers

and a lot of years
left in the tank.

She's just a little more, uh,
on brand for us.

Thanks for
applying.

Hmm!

[indistinct chatter]

We're starting
in two minutes.

What's up with the phone?

Trying to track
down those hooks.

They were supposed to
get here this morning.

Oh, they're not coming.
I cancelled the order.

Too expensive.

Budgets are my area
of expertise.

Trust me.

Interesting.

Mind if I serve first for us?

[sighs]:
Sure.

You're gonna do what
you want anyway.

Quick question:

Who are you, and what
are you doing at my party?

My dad invite you?

I'm Fallon Carrington. Hi.

Let me guess.
You were a TriDelt at Princeton?

Nope.
Just a regular bitch at NYU.

So why are you here?

My dad's decided
I have to go to Princeton.

You could do worse
than Princeton.

Not the point.

I'm so over him thinking
he knows better than me.

He doesn't believe
I'm smart enough

to do things
-my own way. -Okay,

I mean,
he has decades of experience,

and he is the sixth richest man
in the world,

so that should count
for something. Yeah.

It counts for how old
and out of touch he is.

He's always talking about
how I need a job after school.

My TikTok takes
ten times more work

that scooping ice cream,
and it pays a ton.

My latest post has
250,000 unique interactions.

And that translates
to a steady income how?

I'm a skinfluencer.

I do ironic punk princess
makeup tutorials.

And when you've got
four million followers,

big brands fork over cash
for sponcon challenges.

I was gonna do
a new one tonight,

but my dad won't even play
my favorite song:

"Drivers License."

Oh. Well, yeah, I mean, that's
a little sad and depressing

for tonight's theme,
don't you think?

It's supposed to be my party.

And I guess
you'll cry if you want to.

You're so lucky.

To be old
and make your own decisions.

Totally.

♪OldAndBlessed.

You two look like
you're working hard.

What are you
doing here?

Oh, I came to be
more supportive of your career,

but I suppose
that ship has sailed.

The shoot got
cancelled.

Someone broke into
Ollie's hotel room

and wrecked
his equipment.

Poor Ollie. I guess
you had to stay and console him.

Well, whoever did it also sent
the models pervy photos

from his e-mail.

The magazine fired him.

So, yeah, I stayed to
console my friend.

He seemed pretty good
when I walked in.

Relax, mate.

I'm not your mate.

And this is none
of your business.

Especially now that
you're unemployed.

Kirby, can we go?

Go on. I'll be fine.

Can't just leave him here, Adam.

Don't you see
that he's playing you?

What's that supposed to mean?

It means that when I came by
the shoot the other night,

he was practically groping you.

I walk in now, he's groping you,

-and there's no shoot.
-No one was groping anyone.

And you don't find it convenient
that his camera was vandalized,

like the other day
when his photos were corrupted?

Happy?

You could have done that
yourself. I would have.

Can we please just talk
about this at home?

Kirby wants to stay.
Maybe you back off.

I can't do this anymore.

Come home with me, or...

or we're done.

Well, I'm staying, so...

I guess we're done.

You can't be serious.

Your mother was right
about you.

What do you know
about my mother?

I know she paid me to come here
and break you two up.

I barely had
to do anything.

You wrecked this
all on your own.

ADAM:
Kirby, you knew about this?

But it just makes me realize

how much I need
to stay away from you

-and your family.
-Yeah.

Okay, I did a little recon.

It turns out the root canal
was just an excuse.

Apparently, Trask thinks the
only investment worth making

in a woman your age is
a new set of boobs

-for his third wife.
-Uh...

-His words, not mine.
-Well, that's great.

So we crashed
a child's birthday party

just to hit a dead end
with an ageist misogynist?

Not so fast.
Look, he'll do whatever we say

once you whip out
Blake's favorite tool.

You hear how that sounds, right?

I'm talking about blackmail.

But do I really want an investor
who has to be blackmailed

into backing me?

Yes. The stakes are too high

for you to die
on a hill of morality

right now.

It's not about morality.

-It's about doing this my way.
-If you walk away now,

the only person
you'll be hurting is yourself.

I don't care.
Because you know what?

At least if I fail, I will
be failing on my own terms.

And I can at least give
the birthday girl

a gift she actually wants.

Bye!

Adam.

-Are you okay?
-How could you?

How could I...?

Drop the act, Mother.

Every time I think you've found
an ounce of maternal instinct,

you prove me wrong--
but you...

you've gone too far
this time. Oh, please.

You will thank
me eventually.

That Tasmanian trollop was
never good enough for you.

No, the only person who's
not good enough for me is you.

[gasps softly]

We're done.

Adam... No.

I really don't think
I could ever forgive you.

[door closes]

Thanks for coming.

Beer?

[exhales]

I won't bill you for
half of it, I promise.

[laughs]

Look...

I've been running the hotel by
myself for the last two years,

and I guess I am just not used
to waiting for someone else

-to weigh in.
-I know. I get it, but...

But that's no excuse.
I trust your judgment,

and I shouldn't have hired Leo
without talking to you first.

And I should have listened
to you about the budget.

So I'm sorry.

So am I.

I may have been
a little overeager

about hitting the budget thing
so hard.

And after you left,

I had to finish out our match
with a ball boy.

[chuckles]
We lost.

Quickly.

You and I are clearly
a good team.

We are.

And then,
I stopped at The High Beam

for a drink
and to feel sorry for myself,

but I had all of our bags,

and there wasn't a single
damn place to hang them.

-Purse hooks.
-Purse hooks.

You were right. [chuckles]

I've obviously got a lot
to learn about design.

And I've got a lot to learn
about trusting my partner.

Tomorrow, I'll tell Leo
we need to take a step back

so you and I can make
this decision together.

And don't worry,

I know you hit me with the ball
by mistake.

Yeah. It was totally a mistake.

Mm-hmm.

[chuckles]

[playing piano]

How did it go?

[stops playing]
With Kirby?

No, with the hospital board.

Cristal, I'm... It's okay.

I knew it was a long shot.

Thank you for trying.

They approved it.

What? Really?

We can start treatment
next week in Atlanta.

I'll give you all
the details tomorrow.

[sighs]
This is so great.

Thank you.

[footsteps approaching]

Oh...

Please tell me that's
not the last piece

of Mrs. Gunnerson's
chess pie.

I was really counting on that
to get me through the shame

of destroying
my family dynasty.

Also, I didn't eat anything
at the sweet sixteen.

It is the last piece.

[scoffs]
I would say sorry,

but this pie is
my only consolation

in a world in which apparently
I'm too old to compete. Mm.

If it makes you feel any better,

tonight I was passed over
for being too young.

Evidently there is no right age
to be a woman in business.

It would be one thing
if it was about the work.

I did really good work.

But one old man doesn't think
I'm marketable, so that's it.

Turns out you still have
to be a blonde pixie

with a half a million
Instagram followers

to make it past
the gatekeepers.

You're right.

Maybe...

we can't wait for the patriarchy

to decide we're worthy.

Maybe we have to do this
our way,

until we can't be denied.

[laughs]
Thank you, Dominique.

ANDERS:
It's almost dawn.

Where have you been?

-Out.
-Uh, that's not a good enough answer.

Fine. Out with Oliver.

Do I need to remind you

that the last time
you got involved with Oliver,

you went to jail?

And what would you know
about it?

You weren't even around.

I've always watched out for you,
wherever I was.

Well, who do you think
-paid for your barrister? -Gee, thanks.

Let me just go find
your "father of the year" award.

Do you really want to go back
to all that?

You robbed a nursing home,
for God's sake.

Spare me the lecture.
I'm an adult.

Now you see,that's

the first thing you've said
that I agree with.

You are an adult,
and you are free

to you live your life
any way you like.

Just not here.

And not like this.

♪

So you're kicking me out?

Unless you decide you want
to change your behavior.

[scoffs softly]

[chuckles]

So, there's nothing further
to discuss.

Trust me,
for your own good.

When you're ready,
I'll be here.

No, you won't.

Because all you've ever done
is abandon me.

Leo, hey.
Thanks for coming.

So, we should have a date set
for your hearing

by the end of the day.[sighs]

Great news.
Yep.

The crew's gonna stop
by here later

to look at the site.
Stick around.

You'll be spending
a lot of time with them

over the next couple of months.

You should probably get
used to the faces.

Yeah, I need to talk to you
about that.

You see, um,

hiring your crew might have been
a little premature,

and we need to pump
the brakes.

My partner and I
want to evaluate

all our options before
we completely commit to you.

No problem. I get it.

You do?

Thanks for understanding.

Just like I'm sure
you get that...

I can't guarantee you a spot
on the council schedule

if we're no longer
working together.

Whether we hire you or not,

I'm happy to pay
-your administrative fee. -Thing is...

I just don't know
if I can trust you anymore.

And my guys really
don't like it

when someone goes back
on their word.

Well, I'm sure, but...

What can I say?

They're hotheads.

Sometimes they act out
in not so pleasant ways.

I'm sure your hotel
will be fine, though.

Is this some kind of threat?

It's, uh...

free advice.

Uh...

You know what?
Forget I said anything.

We'll use your crew.

They sound great.

Perfect.

I'll give you a call in a couple
of hours about that hearing.

Drinking breakfast again?[scoffs]

Never a good sign.

Adam found out what I did

and never wants
to speak to me again.

And since Oliver is
still in town,

I can only assume that you are
going from here to the police.

Oh. [chuckles]

I am not.

Same, please.
Excuse me?

Last night, I asked Kirby
to leave the manor.

I don't know when
I'll talk to her again.

So you went with tough love?

I did what I had to do.

The point is, you and I
have already lost a child.

And now I've lost
a second one.

If there's any chance
that you can repair

your relationship with Adam,

I'm not gonna get in the way.

I destroyed the recording.

Your son is safe.

[sighs] Thank you.

Thank you.

They sure don't
make it easy, do they?

[both chuckle]

To parenthood.

Indeed.

$40 a share?
That can't be right.

Oh, it's right
all right.

What, did Trask have
a change of heart?

Oh, no. Absolutely not.

In fact,
he might have actually filed

a restraining order
against me.

Fortunately, he's not
the only Trask with clout.

Oh, what, does
he have a brother?

Ah, and the patriarchy rides
again.

No, Candy--
the birthday girl--

she has a huge following
on TikTok.

And after we left,

she created an original audio
Dubsmash challenge

of my performance.

Yeah. Translation, please.

All you need to know
is that it went viral,

and now a huge celebrities
like Lizzo want

a piece of this scrappy,
female-owned business.

Well, sometimes all you need is
a little luck.

Luck? Luck you.

My PR team worked overnight
to make this happen.

And with what I'm paying them
in overtime,

I wouldn't be surprised
if they're all laying

on a yacht in Mykonos right now.

Well, I am impressed, huh?

Hey, another tool
for our toolbox.

Yeah, about that...

There's not gonna be
a toolbox anymore.

Or an "our."

Are you firing me?

I don't believe in labels,
but yes.

I am.

I mean, if the sweet sixteen
taught me anything,

it's that fathers are fathers.

I value your opinion so much

that I second-guess myself
when I need to stand on my own.

Yeah. Yeah, I get that.

I'm very proud of you.

You're gonna do great
without me.

Thank you.

Oh, I did get you
a going away present.

Do you remember that, uh,

private airline company
you wanted me to buy?

Yeah.
Primetime Private Air.

I bought it
and I'm giving it to you.

Well, this is
a very generous severance.

Maybe I'll be able to finally
get my pilot's license.

I can take you someplace fun
for your 30th birthday.

Or you could just get me
another Porsche.

Are you okay?

It's probably
best this way,

not having to see her
at breakfast every morning.

You've done so much for me.

I mean,
beyond what I ever expected.

So if there's anything
I can do to help,

just say the word.

-ADAM:
-Karen?

Hey, um, I wanted to talk
to you about using

the Rosenthal grant money

for the research trial
I was telling you about.

You mentioned that
in the meeting.

It's still not possible.

Nah, I think you're gonna
be able to find a way

to make it work, especially
the hospital's been so generous

in, uh, making your sister's
treatment possible.

Excuse me?

Melinda Strauss. Age 42.

That's your sister, right?

Coma patient.
She was in a car accident.

Been here for
a couple of months.

According to her file,

she is receiving care
at a drastically reduced rate.

The board approved that.

She doesn't
have insurance, so...

Which is why it would be sad

if we had to kick her out.

You can't do this.

Of course, it may not be
a problem for you

for too much longer.

I mean, coma patients go

into spontaneous respiratory
failure all the time.

What do you want?

My research trial starts Monday.

Find the money.

[birds singing]

[sighs]

My dad kicked me out.

Can I crash
with you tonight?

Unfortunately,
Alexis cut off my tab,

and without the paycheck
from the photo shoot,

I can't even afford
a crappy motel.

So it looks like we're both
out of a place to sleep tonight.

Who needs sleep?

You do make a good point.
