[upbeat music]

[elevator chimes]

I'll put a rush on
those lab results,

but my suspicion is
that everything's fine.

Okay. Thank you Dr. Morgan,
and thanks for seeing me.

[Morgan] All right.
Take care, now.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What happened to your vacation?

Eh, I'm leaving in 30 minutes.

Sorry for calling
you in, Addison.

Another emergency?

Well, better now
than after I leave.

Hmm, you know we have
an after hours service

that will refer them
to another doctor

so you can actually
go on vacation.

Know, I know.

Oh, I have a sample on the
back to send to the lab.

Would you mind?

I'll send it out.
Rush on the results?

You knew me well.

Consider it done.

Hey, I'll take care of the rest

of the paperwork and insurance.

You get a move on.

You're the best.

Sorry again for calling you in
and interrupting your plans.

Hmm, well, the only thing
I have on my schedule today

is lunch with my brother.

- Well, enjoy that.
- Thanks.

Oh, be sure the lab
knows how to reach me.

I've got it. Have a good trip.

Thanks. Bye.

[bright music]

Okay.

Hi, it's Addison Burke
calling for my brother.

Yeah, he's been
ignoring my texts.

Could you remind him not to
be late to lunch this time?

Thanks so much.

[upbeat music]

Hi, can you get
these out before lunch?

It's tight, but-

Thank you. Thank you.

Is that for him?

Yep. Have fun.

[phone chiming]
All right, I will.

[whimsical music]

The sales managers
are working their teams,

and are seeing results in
repeat customer contracts.

New sales are holding
steady, same as last year,

but next fiscal year's
projections are coming in at 18%.

That's promising.

Not good enough.

Pete, did you crawl here?

Oh, sorry, there was just a
lotta traffic, and I tried to-

Shh. The grownups are talking.

18% beats out last
year in the chip sector.

And that was last year.

This year, we need to top that.

Honestly, how long
have you worked here?

Justin, what do
you have in mind?

I doubt you're really relying
on the chip sector alone.

Katrina Sawyer, she's
sitting on a patent

that can make the power
division skyrocket.

How so?

A new battery design.

40% smaller, yet 25%
more strength and life.

If we could do that,

that would increase
sales astronomically.

Really? I'm so glad you
pointed that out to me.

Why hasn't anyone moved on it?

It's not common knowledge.

Either she underestimates what
she has or she's oblivious.

My money's on the second one.

She's on the
chopping block, though.

From what I heard she's-

Gossip at that
horrible coffee shop

you go to is not reliable.

What's the latest?

Um, Katrina's giving it her all,

but analysts are saying that
the company is having problems.

I know what the
analysts are saying.

Yeah, but she's
taking a vacation,

which is ruffling some feathers,

considering the
financial concerns.

Either she'll be replaced

or the company
will sink further,

probably within 15 months.

Where is she?

I...

She usually vacations
at the Hamptons,

Grand Cayman, or Maldives.

I will find out.

- Now.
- Yep.

Uh, do you need
anything else from me?

Any reservations for
dinner tonight. Six people.

Got it.

Your suit's on the...

Okay.

Okay, what else?

Layla, hi.

Hi, it's Pete from
Justin Ross's office.

Nope, nope, don't
hang up, please.

Yeah, I was just curious,

I wanted to get
something to Ms. Sawyer.

Is there an address
that's best to send it to?

Your sister called
me to remind you

about meeting her for lunch.

Uh-huh.

Right, yes.

No, yeah, I would need to
get it to her immediately.

Yes. All right, call me back.

All right. Bye.

[upbeat music]

Hi, Addison. Thank you
so much for grabbing lunch.

I'll add your half to the tab.

[chuckles] So what'd you get?

Oh, hey, have I
mentioned recently

that you're the greatest
sister on the planet?

All the time. Now, eat up.

Why'd you have the day off?

Well, Dr. Morgan's on
vacation for a couple of weeks,

so the practice shuts
down while he's gone.

I'll stop in every
once in a while,

do paperwork and check on
things, but other than that...

You're lucky.

I'm somehow expected to be
on call 100% of the time,

come rain or shine,
even when I'm sick.

Pete, I've told
you a thousand times

you chose the wrong job.

What does the big, bad
billionaire have you doing?

Oh, you know, the usual,

which is everything he deems
is beneath him, which is,

oh, that's right, yeah,
literally everything.

You could always go back
and get your master's degree.

Oh, no, if I go back to school,

I'll have to start all
over at this place.

Right now, I have Justin's ear.

Not really.

When he sees how hard I work,

I can apply for someplace
better in the company.

You know, somewhere in the
middle, like project management.

Oh yes, the middle,
where we all aim to be.

No, and from there, I
can work my way up, but

if I give up now, I...

I trust me, it's just a lot
better and quicker this way.

[phone chimes]

I have to go.

You just got here.

I'm so sorry. Thank you.

I love these "let's
catch up" meals we share.

[chuckles] How
about Sunday dinner?

Are you offering to cook?

No.

Bye.

You look ridiculous
on that thing!

See you soon!
[Addison chuckles]

[phone chimes]

[suspenseful music]

Whoa! Whoa!
[metal crunching]

[soft music]

Ow!

Let's stop by the pharmacy
on the way to your apartment.

We'll get your
prescription filled.

No, later. I have to
go to work right now.

Oh, please.

No, I'm serious. Addison, I
have to go to work right now.

Pete, you could've
been much worse off.

You know that, right?

And besides, your leg's
gonna start hurting

when whatever they
gave you wears off.

It won't, and I'm fine.

Do you know how many angry texts

I'm getting from
my boss right now?

He's waiting for me.

Then tell him what happened.

He won't care.

All the more reason to go home.

Addison, you do not know
this man like I do, okay?

After all you've told me,
I kind of feel like I do.

Okay, fine, then you know

I have to show him
this to believe me.

[sighs] All right, let's go.

Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, I completely, I completely,
I completely understand.

Yes, no, I was just wondering,

could I get the address, though?

No, no, no, no,
I totally get it.

Yes, it's international,
she's on vacation.

That's all fine and well.

I just, I wanna
send her something,

and if she doesn't
wanna look at it,

then that's her decision.

[Addison] Ow!

Yeah, no, I'm here,
I'm still here. Uh-huh.

Thank you, yes. Good.

No, fantastic, that
is great. Thank you.

Is there any way you
could text it to me?

My hands are kinda
full right now.

Graceful.

Okay, and how long is
she gonna be there for?

Great. Thank you so much.

You know what? I owe you dinner.

Seriously, Thank you so
much. All right, bye.

- What's with all the noise?
- Ah, nothing.

No, not nothing. Will
you sit down already?

What'd you find
out about Katrina?

I've been waiting
for hours. Hours.

I got all the info
on her under the guise

of sending her a message, okay?

She's not in one
of her usual spots.

This time it's St. Martin.

Really?

When?

Uh, she left today.

I think she's gonna be
there a couple of weeks.

Call the property
manager of my house there.

Get everything ready
for my arrival.

You got it? When
do you want to, um...

Tomorrow morning. Move around
my schedule, make it work.

You got it. I
will call your jet.

[objects clattering]
Oh. Ow.

Can you travel with that mess?

Oh, yeah, it's fine.

- No.
- Yes.

It's just a scratch.

You can't travel and work
hobbling around like that.

Call, um, Duncan.
He'll go with me.

No. Sorry, sir, I
promise I can, I can do it.

Hi. Would you let Duncan
know I'd like to see him?

- Sure.
- Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Is Duncan the-

Oh, the manipulative, lazy goon,

who's been after my job for
years, nipping at my heels?

Yeah, he's always
kissing up to Justin.

I'm sorry.

I have to go on this trip.

You can't.

Why not?

You need rest.

Your leg can't even be cast

for a few more days
at the earliest.

And I can just see you hobbling

over sandy beaches on crutches,

trying to get Ross the
Boss there his sunglasses.

You'll make it worse, and
you'll end up needing surgery.

And don't think that I
can get you a discount

just because I
work for a doctor.

Okay, I do think
you're over-exaggerating.

Pete, maybe this is
a sign to take a break.

No, this is the cutthroat
world of Justin Ross, okay?

You don't get it. If I don't
go, he's just gonna replace me.

He can't do that.

He can, and he will.

Everything I've
worked for, gone.

But if I can just get
through this, it'll be fine.

Everything will be fine.
I can't give up now.

And you'll just
magically heal by tomorrow?

No, no, but if I could
just find another solution.

Oh, come on, think, Pete, think.

Too bad you can't
clone yourself.

[Pete chuckles]

No, but I could use a
better version of myself.

What?

Never mind on Duncan.

- Oh, okay.
- Thank you.

Follow me. Whatever
happens, just roll with it.

No, it won't raise any
antitrust or monopoly flags.

Okay. Get back to me when
you've vetted it fully.

Don't tell me. Duncan
is in crutches, too?

No, but Duncan is
just gonna let you down.

It looks like you're
gonna fall down.

Look, I can come and base
out of the house on the island.

That way, I can still get
you whatever you need.

I need someone who can
go and do what I need.

I agree. I agree 100%.

Which is why my sister,
Addison, will be coming with us.

- What?
- What?

She's super organized.

She runs everything
in this massively busy

medical practice she works at.

She can go where I cannot.

That's a ridiculous idea.

Yeah, what he said.

If Duncan goes, he's
just gonna pretend to work,

and then leave you hanging
at the worst possible second.

Sir, you're following
Katrina Sawyer

to convince her to sell, right?

Do you really want
a bumbling assistant

following you around?

Well, I've gotten
used to it as it is.

[chuckles] Look, she's good,
all right? She can do this.

She's better than me.

Pete.

So you're saying I should
fire you and hire her?

No, I actually think her doctor

would fight you
pretty hard on that.

But fortunately for us,

she has the next
couple of weeks off.

Look, you get her
skills, my brains,

nothing falls
through the cracks.

I've never seen you this-

Emphatic?

No, desperate. It
doesn't suit you.

Are you really better
than your brother?

[tense music]

I guess.

We leave tomorrow.
Now, get back to work.

- Come on.
- Oh, Pete,

if this ends up in disaster,

Allison here has
nothing to lose.

Addison.

You, however, do.

You got it.

I can't believe you.

Hey, we can do this.

And what about your leg?
You'll need to get a cast.

It's a standard
broken leg, all right?

I'll just find someone
in St. Martin to do it.

How hard can it be?

And what about him?

You've been complaining
about Justin Ross

ever since you
started working here,

and now you're trying to rope
me into working for him, too.

Just, for the trip, okay?

Look, it can't be
any harder than you

running Dr. Morgan's office.

Yes, it is.

Not at the core of it.

Look, you do what he asks, I
take care of everything else.

We'll be fine.

He's conceited and rude and-

And you've dealt with
difficult patients before,

and families complaining
about how long

the wait time is
for appointments,

and billing, and
everything else.

How hard can it be?

Addison, please. My
job relies on you.

No pressure.

Thank you.

You're the best.

Oh, this is gonna be a disaster.

Can you grab my...

I got it.

[bright music]

Did you take your
pain meds today?

Uh, yeah. Yes, I did.

Well, do you need a
pillow for your foot?

It's fine.

Yes, see, he's
fine. Now shush.

It was a bestseller
for 10 weeks.

[clears throat]
That's, that's good.

Take it. You should read it.

Sure you could stand
to learn something.

Is it a memoir or your
business philosophy?

A little bit of both.

Huh.

Is it any good?

Just asking.

[bright music]

Are you kidding me?

Wow.

This isn't a vacation.

I know.

Yeah, could you tone it
down? You're embarrassing me.

Sorry.

Welcome, Monsieur Justin.
Everything is ready for you.

The fridge is fully stocked.

Good.

Would you be going
out again this evening?

I'll drive myself if
I do. Leave the keys.

Take my bags to my room.

After that, I won't be needing
anything else for a while.

I'll have one of my
assistants call if I do.

Of course, monsieur.

Okay, take a look around,

get familiar with
where everything is,

and figure out
something for dinner.

I wanna eat at seven.

Yeah, okay.

Uh, where should I-

[Justin] Pick a room.

How's this?

Hey, this is great.

Anything you need?

No, no. I just need to get
off my foot for a few minutes.

Oh, hey, um,

please don't let Justin
see me like this.

Got it.

I'm going to go put
away my things, okay?

[soft music]

[Justin] What are you doing?

Uh...

I was...

[whimsical music]

This is your room, isn't it?

Yes.

Sorry. I was just picking
a spot, like you said.

Wrong spot.

Uh, yeah.

While you're here,
though, unpack my bags.

Closet's right there.

So it begins.

[bright music]

Did you just wake up?

I didn't even
mean to fall asleep.

He didn't call for me, right?

No.

He did ask me to
unpack his bags.

Oh. I'm sorry.

Are you the maid for
him when you travel, too?

Uh, no. No, not really.

What about the cook?

I usually just order
something with the company card.

Well, now you tell me.

I mean, look, get used
to some lowly stuff.

The amount of drinks I got for
him for the first few months

made me think I was just like,

I don't know, like his
personal waiter or something.

Well, I'd be fine with this

if he showed some appreciation.

Yeah, yeah, he just, he
doesn't really do that.

Typical.

Did you ever read his book?

Um, I actually assumed

it was required reading
when I got the job

because he hands out
to all his employees.

Uh. So sad.

Look, I know it's tough,
but it'll get better, right?

You've been working
for him for how long now?

So you tell me, has
it gotten any better?

Point taken.

[water splashing]

Excuse me, Justin!

Uh, Mr. Ross.

Your dinner is ready.

Where would you like to eat it?

Inside is fine, as is Justin.

[tense, whimsical music]

This will do.

Oh, you can go.

[whimsical music]

Uh, do you need anything else?

Hmm-mm.

Enjoy.

Look, you're just gonna
have to get used to the idea

that he doesn't
see us as equals.

I can't believe
you believe that.

I mean, money or not, that's
no excuse to behave that way.

This is a totally different
world than we live in.

Dr. Morgan never is like that.

That's because Dr. Morgan
is a decent human being,

and Justin Ross is...

So what do we do tomorrow?

He has a full day
of meetings and calls.

I can take care of
whatever he needs for that.

It's anything that
requires walking

that I might not be able to do.

Well, if I can get
away during the day,

I'm gonna find a doctor

and make an appointment
for you to get your cast.

No, I can call
around and handle that.

You're on the clock,

so he's gonna expect
you to be available.

On the clock? Am
I even getting paid?

Don't count on it.

I'll get you a better
Christmas present this year.

- Mm-hmm.
- Hmm?

[bright music]

[Addison scoffs]

I need the revised
sales projections

from each sector of the company.

The managers will say
they need more time,

but too bad, I want 'em now.

You got it.

I also want you to
stay up on all the gossip

about Katrina Sawyer.

What the employees over
there are saying, too.

Okay, yeah. I'm already
on that, actually.

You'll need to set up a
way for me to meet with her.

Or maybe that'll be
where you prove useful.

Okay. Do you want
her to come here?

No, that won't work. It's
gotta be casual, natural.

What do you mean?

She's not a fan. Some hurt
feelings from a few years ago.

So figure out a way for
us to run into each other.

So you came all the
way here for a meeting

with someone who
doesn't like you?

Good news is, I
already have the address

of where she's staying.

Do I go knock on the door?

Well, I don't know how
coincidental that would be,

but we'll think of something.

Get to it. Both of you.

You got it.

Oh, wait.

[bright music]

Is it here?

Excuse me.

Yes. How can I help you?

Um, I think I have
the right place,

but I thought it'd be a hotel.

What's the address?

I think it's here.

It's supposed to be
called the Crystal Haven.

Hmm. Crystal Haven.

No, I don't think that...

You know, actually.

Yeah, yeah, it's a yacht.

Oh, it is?

Yeah. Coming in tomorrow.

Huh. Thanks.

Uh-huh.

[bright music]

Good. You're back.

We got a tee time. Let's go.

Uh, I don't, I don't golf.

I'm golfing, not you.

Is Pete coming?

Think that question through.

I'll be in the car.

Here you go.

- He's late.
- Who?

Lamar Nichols.

Is he a friend here?

No, he wants to do business
with me, so he is flying in.

Just to meet with you?

Yeah.

People do that?

I don't think you
understand who I am.

Justin.

Sorry, my flight was late.

That's all right.
Good to see you.

Let's get going, shall we?

Uh, where do you want me to-

Keep up.

[bright music]

Not my day.

The trick in golf and business

is to keep your eye on the ball.

I'll remember that. Thanks
for the game and for the time.

Sure. Safe trip home.

Could've beaten him
with my eyes closed.

Yeah, I think he
realized that, too.

Have you ever heard
of winning gracefully?

If he had something
I was interested in,

I would've let him win.

But it was a waste of time.

Might as well get some
satisfaction out of it.

Where do we stand with Katrina?

Oh, um,

does she own a yacht?

I imagine so.

Well, the address
is to the marina,

and she's scheduled to
arrive there tomorrow.

Your brother said she
would already be here.

Boats take longer.

He shoulda known.

He's not psychic.

Well, that's too bad. It
would make him useful for once.

Don't insult him.

What was that?

I'm just saying, there's
no need to put him down.

[soft music]

[sighs] Great.

Oh, I like mine scrambled.

These are mine.

I'm surprised you
don't have a cook.

When I have guests, I do.

If it's just me, I
like things quiet.

You ever cook for yourself?

Not if I can help it.
That's where you come in.

Did you enjoy your reading?

Your book?

Yeah, it was great for
putting me to sleep.

I'm gonna go by the marina
today, see about Katrina Sawyer.

Anything you need me
to do while I'm out?

No, but I want
a meeting with her

by the end of day tomorrow.

I'll see what I can do.

[bright music]

[Annie] I'm glad
I'm off the boat.

[Katrina] You haven't
gotten your sea legs yet.

[Annie] Like a pirate.

A little bit of
exploring will help.

Can we do something fun?

Katrina, what time
do you want dinner

tonight at Indigo Bay?

How hungry are you, Annie?

I'm hungry for ice cream.

6:30 should be fine.

Can we still explore, though?

Yes, we will do everything
fun we can while on this trip.

I promise.

The figures look promising,

but I want these
deals closed faster.

There's a new incentive
package in the works

that we think will
get better results.

Well, they should
be more efficient,

not stalling all the time
for an extra handout.

Get it done.
Will do.

[phone chimes]

Patricia from legal
wanting a few minutes,

whenever you had time.

She's arrived.
Katrina Sawyer is here.

Uh, well, at the marina.

About time.

She's eating at some
place at Indigo Bay at 6:30.

I checked and there's
only one restaurant there.

Yeah, I know it.

Make reservations for just
before she's supposed to arrive.

Got it. I will do that.

And be sure to
wear something nice.

We're going with you?

Oh no, just you.

I don't want Hoppy here
to be a distraction.

So it's me eating with the boss

while you're supposedly,
what, vacationing?

Is that what you're
gonna tell her?

Huh, you're right.

Just go by yourself.

No, too pathetic.

You'll be my date.

What?

Go into town. Find
a suitable dress.

Uh, I have clothes.

Based on what I'm seeing,
it won't be acceptable

if you're supposed
to be with me.

Pete has my card. Better hurry.

[Pete] It's not that bad.

Oh, really? Does he ask
you to be his date often?

No, but think of it
as a compliment, right?

Going out with a billionaire,

that's like saying you
look like a billion bucks.

Just sounded funnier in my head.

And then this. I have to
get a new wardrobe for him?

Which one?

I don't know. Which
one do you like better?

I can't think like that,
because whatever I like

would be something
that looked good on me,

and I don't wanna
look good for him.

It's not for him,
it's for the whole-

Charade?

Exactly.

What about that one?

Yeah.

Fine. I'll try it on.

Look, for all his
faults, he's not,

he doesn't have a bad
reputation, right?

Like, he's not gonna
step outta line.

Oh, great. I feel
so much better.

It's just dinner, and it's
more for Katrina's benefit.

[sighs] Fine.

Hey, thank you.

I know this isn't what
you want, so thank you.

If he orders me a
salad, I'm quitting.

[bright music]

Ross, for two.

Right this way.

Your table, sir.

Oh, no, sit here.

Okay.

Thank you.

So what do you
normally get here?

Food.

I've been here twice before.

I hardly...

Oh, she's here.

Sawyer, for three.

This way, please.

Now what?

She's coming this way.

Um...

Laugh.
What?

Just do it.
[Addison laughs]

- Here you go.
- Katrina?

Justin.

Good to see you. Vacationing?

- Yes.
- Oh, good.

You'll love it here.

It's a little windy.
Could we sit somewhere else?

Maybe over there?

Of course.

Enjoy your meal.

You too.

Wow. She does not like you.

Yeah.

Got that.

Sorry.

It's a fact of life in business.

Sometimes you win,
sometimes you lose,

and some who lose
just can't let it go.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Can I get a Shirley Temple?

Sure.

Excuse me a moment.

Good evening. Do you know
what you'd like tonight?

Yes, the fish with a side
of linguini and asparagus, and

seafood salad for the lady.

[Waiter] Of course.

Do you have a wine list?

Thanks.

Hello again.

Hi.

Thank you.

For your daughter?

She loves Shirley Temples.

I did, too, when I was little.

I'll get pasta.

Okay, good.

She's beautiful.

Thank you.

You know, I'll have
the same. Why not?

[Katrina chuckles]

I'm Addison.

Katrina.

It's nice to meet you.

Are you here with your family?

Well, that's Annie, my daughter,
and Jane, my assistant.

And you're here
with Justin Ross?

I guess so.

Have you been
seeing him for long?

No, I'm, uh, still
getting to know him.

Don't let the money blind you.

Good advice.

I'm hoping there's
more to him than that,

but so far, I'm not sure.

Do you know him well, then?

More than I want to.

Not romantically.
Thank goodness.

Anything I should keep in mind?

Trust your instincts.

[Bartender] Here you go.

Thanks.

So anything fun that
you're planning to do

while on the island?

We'll see what comes
up. Anything to relax.

[Annie] Mom, is it ready?

Oh, sorry. I'm keeping you.

Oh, it's fine.
Enjoy your drink.

Thanks.

I'm going to be around
for a couple of weeks.

If you need a break from Justin,

let's do lunch or something.

A break sounds wonderful.

[Katrina laughs]

Sorry, I shouldn't
have said that.

It's fine.

My daughter and I
are going to have

a picnic on the beach tomorrow.

Would you like to join us?

That sounds great.

So?

I have lunch with
Katrina tomorrow.

How?

The power of girl talk.

Wow.

Okay, great.

Tell Pete to clear
my schedule for it.

Oh, you're not invited.

Don't worry. I'll try
to smooth things over.

Fine.

The fish with
linguini and asparagus,

and the seafood
salad for the lady.

Uh,

no.

[bright music]

Thanks for dinner.

Yeah.

You're not

afraid of me, are you?

Should I be?

It's pretty common, at
least for those beneath me.

Maybe people are
afraid because you treat

those beneath you pretty poorly.

I compensate people very well.

I'm not talking about money.

How was dinner?

The fish was good.

[chuckles] How
about the company?

Tolerable.

Hey, good job on getting an
in with Katrina. That's big.

Hmm. I feel for her, and I
don't even know what happened.

Can I?

Knock yourself out.

So when I was
researching Katrina,

I think I figured out what
happened between her and Justin.

He was trying to
acquire the chip company

she was running at the time.

Technology chips,
not like potatoes.

Yeah, I got that.

Well, so she had doubts,
but he sold her on it,

and the deal actually
got a lot of buzz.

Justin made some promises
about what he wanted to do,

but instead, he just
dismantled the entire company.

He stood to gain
a profit from it,

but a lot of people
lost their jobs,

and Katrina was the one
who took all the flack.

Then it gets out that Justin
said that she was gullible,

that he paid way less than
the company was worth,

and he was really
proud of his coup.

I could totally
see him saying that.

Yep, well, she got fired.

Bad press, list of the
top-10 overpaid CEOs,

and she lost her job.

So a couple years ago,
she got hired as a CEO

to save a sinking
company, but...

It's not going well
there yet, either?

No.

Taking care of my leg?

Yeah, thank you for continually
reminding me of that.

You're right. You're way
better at origami than me.

No, I am not. I
still have to act.

- Hmm. If you're sure.
- Sure, yeah.

You know, I'm really glad
you taught me how to do this.

Except, sometimes I can't
really figure it out.

[soft music]

Annie!

She's here.

You made it.

Hi.

Hi, I'm Addison.

I'm Annie.

Hey, do you like origami?

Is that for me?

Thanks.

I thought you might like it.

Come on. Let's not
keep your mom waiting.

So what happened next?

Then this huge wave came
and washed over the deck,

and I thought we
were going to sink.

Well, I'm glad you didn't.

Me too.

Mom, can I go in the water?

[Katrina] Sure.

Oh, wait, can you
keep it safe for me?

I will.

I hope your trip over
here wasn't that dangerous.

Well, we did hit
some rough water,

but Annie exaggerates a bit.

She's very sweet.

Thank you.

So other than enchanting
children with origami,

what do you do?

I'm an office manager back
at home for a medical practice.

Is that so? How long
have you been doing that?

Oh, um,

five years?

No, six, actually.

Is that how you met Justin?

No. I met him
through my brother.

He works for Justin.

Oh.

And we're not really in
any type of relationship.

I don't want to mislead you

or give you the
wrong impression.

And yet you're here with him.

Oh, it's more to
help my brother.

He was in an accident,

so I'm just here to help him
with the things he can't do.

Will he be all right?

Yeah, just a broken leg.

So you're here
for business, then?

Ah, more of a favor.

I see.

So what brought you
here of all places?

It seemed like a
good spot to escape to.

A nice change from
my usual haunts.

Apparently I couldn't
have picked a worst spot,

with Justin Ross here.

You really have
a problem with him.

You would, too.

He manipulated me,
went back on his word,

and tried to ruin my career.

I'm so sorry.

Things were pretty
bad for a while.

They're not perfect
right now, either.

And with Justin around,

I don't want history
to repeat itself.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you for lunch,
and for the company.

It was good to talk with you.

And for what it's worth, I
hope you enjoy yourself here.

If Justin leaves, maybe I will.

Well, I'll see what I can do,

but I doubt I can
change his mind.

Do you think he regrets it?

Regret? That would
mean he has a conscience.

Well, anything is possible.

Addison.

Hey.

Uh, what are you-

I thought we'd get some
jet skis, go exploring.

Um, sure.

Katrina, you're more
than welcome to join.

Thank you, but no.

Other plans?

No.

How'd it go?

Um, good.

I need to talk to
her at some point,

when she'll listen to me.

I can't force her to,

and it sounds like you
didn't do yourself any favors

with whatever happened
last time around.

Watch it.

You're not gonna win her
over by being overbearing.

Are we really going jet skiing?

No.

Ah, so you said
that just so you seem

like you're a fun,
relatable guy?

I thought you'd do it because
you're a thrill seeker.

At least, that's what it makes
you seem like in your book.

I used to be.

Now it makes Wall Street and
my insurance agent nervous.

I don't think I'd call jet
skiing thrill seeking, though.

I suppose not.

Do you know what your book
doesn't talk about, though?

My top 10 crypto picks?

Boring. No.

Who you were before
you were the self-made

entrepreneur genius billionaire.

Oh.

Is there gonna be a second
book in the works about that?

No. Sorry to disappoint you.

I used to hang around at golf
courses when I was a kid.

I'd hunt for lost golf
balls and gather 'em up.

Why?

To sell. My family was
not well off, so it helped.

It wasn't a lot,

but it got me enough for
lunch money for school.

Well, why didn't
she write about that?

I'd rather focus on
the now, like Katrina.

Fine.

Her feelings about you
are the biggest hurdle,

so if you're gonna get anywhere,

you gotta get her past that.

She only sees her
side of it, though.

There were considerations.
Pressures from every side.

Like what?

I had a lot of
attention from everyone.

Investors, analysts, competitors.

I did what I had to.

And you're okay with that?

You have to do whatever it
takes to succeed in business.

You need anything else tonight?

No.

Okay. Till tomorrow, then.

Hey, listen.

You, uh,

you did good today.

Thanks.

Putting your brother
to shame, though.

I got lucky.

And you shouldn't forget
how much you rely on him.

Only for things
a toddler could do.

All right, enough of
that. Stop putting him down.

He must do a good job,

or you would've fired
him a long time ago.

You can't keep treating
him like he's nothing.

I was paying you a compliment.

At the expense of someone else?

You're only saying that
because he's your brother.

I hope I would
say that no matter

who you were talking about.

He works hard, harder than
I've ever seen him work,

and he stresses about
it all the time,

because you don't care
or show you're grateful.

How would you know?

He broke his leg in an
accident rushing back to work

after taking five minutes
to have lunch with me.

Did you ever
express any concern?

It's not my problem.

It doesn't mean that you
can't show a little compassion.

You didn't even ask
him what happened.

It was obvious, he hurt
his leg. Where's the mystery?

Besides, what other job
brings him and you here?

It's not like
this is a vacation.

He's working with a broken leg.

And it hasn't been a
picnic for me, either.

Oh, really?

Yeah, you expect me to run
all your errands, cook for you,

be your housekeeper and
maid, oh, and your fake date.

Well, half the stuff
I asked you to do

was just to see if
you would do it.

Are you serious?

You're unbelievable.

[soft music]

You can't keep talking
to him like that.

Do you know how
hard it is for me

to hear him put you
down all the time?

Look, Addison, I
don't love it either,

but this is temporary, right?

You can't let it get to you.

Okay, fine.

Look, just keep your head
down for a while, all right?

Pete, at some point,
that won't be enough.

You can't keep
bowing down to him.

I'm not gonna be in
this job forever, okay?

I just have to tread
water for a little longer,

and then he'll give me a chance

somewhere better in the company.

And how do you know that?

He talked about
it on my first day.

Wow. That's ironclad.

[scoffs] Okay. Whatever.

[Pete groans]

Did you call the doctor?

No, I set an appointment up
for something early next week.

Good. I'll take you there.

No, no, Justin
needs someone here to-

Justin is a big boy.

I'm sure he can handle
things by himself

for a couple of hours.

Good morning.

Morning. How do
you like your eggs?

What?

Eggs. Breakfast.

You're making me breakfast?

Well, since you pointed
out how badly I treated you,

I figure it's the
least I could do.

Uh, over medium.

Yolk broken?

No. Uh, thank you.

Would you pass the bagels?

Yeah.

So, I need a meeting with
Katrina, which, I know,

it's out of my hands,
for now, at least.

But in the meantime,

I wanna review everything
about her company.

Synergies, costs,
benefits, all that.

Today?

Yeah. Where's Pete?

Uh, he's coming. Do
you want yours toasted?

Yeah.

You do know it's
Saturday, right?

So?

Do you always work 24/7?

I mean, you're in
a beautiful place,

in an amazing home,
supposedly vacationing.

Your point?

Well, you could actually
just take a day off.

Why, so you and Pete
can have the day off, too?

No, because you could use it.

No, I've been here before,
and a lot of other places.

You've seen one island,
you've seen 'em all.

That's the saddest thing I
think I've heard in a while.

There's gotta be
something you wanna do.

Eat.

So Davidson wanted some
extra time next week.

He still wanted to
preview the deal points.

Yeah, send him what we have,

but tell Hank to check it
for any updated figures.

Okay, yeah, will do.

Make sure no one over there

is talking when
they shouldn't be.

The situation here is delicate.

Yeah, no, for
sure. You got it.

Uh, hey, I just wanted to, uh,

I wanted to thank you
for letting Addison come.

I know she can be
pretty outspoken, but-

She's fine.

Okay. Yes.

Good.

Thanks again.

Wait a minute.

You and Addison can have
the rest of the day off.

Sorry, what did you just say?

Get outta here for
a while. Both of you.

Okay.

Thank you.

Has he ever done this before?

No, that's why we have to leave

before he changes his mind.

Huh.

Can we take his car?

There's no way
I'm asking him that.

I'm just gonna
call a cab instead.

Okay.

Nope, I forgot my wallet.

Okay. Hurry, though.

[soft music]

- Oh.
- Oh.

Sorry, I forgot something.

Oh, okay.

Do you need
anything before we go?

Thought you already left.

Almost. We're
waiting for a cab.

Oh, you can just take the car.

Really? You sure?

Yeah.

Yeah, that'd be easier.

All right. Keys
are in my room.

Uh, what are you doing
the rest of the day?

I haven't decided yet. You?

Well, I wanted to go
snorkeling, but Pete can't,

so instead, we're
going to this spot

where the planes land
really close to the beach.

Pete used to wanna
be a pilot, so.

Better go see it, then.

Do you wanna come?

It's your car, and
your day off, too.

It could be fun, if you want.

I, um...

Gimme a second to change.

I can't believe you invited him.

It felt like the
right thing to do.

I'm surprised he agreed to come.

Yeah, well, so
much for a day off.

Relax. He hasn't even
asked you for anything yet.

Hey, there's a schedule
for when the flights land.

Next one's in a half hour.

Ah, okay.

Well, we'll just-

Burn until then.

Chill.

I'm gonna go explore.

Thanks, Mom.

He'll be fine.

I know.

[sighs] Look at that water,
though. It's beautiful.

You okay if I leave
you for a bit?

Oh yeah, no, for
sure. You're good.

Great idea, Pete.
Let's go to the beach.

[soft music]

Did you get in the water yet?

Yeah, it's nice. Warm.

What are you looking for?

A plane.

I gotta have enough
time to run back to Pete

to grab my phone for photos.

Ah.

You've never seen this before?

No. Why would I?

Well, I figured,
you have a home here,

you'd see all the highlights.

I usually don't have time.

Sounds like you
need to relax more.

Or are you the type that
likes to relax more at home?

Well, I have six homes.

Ah. Yeah, it
doesn't surprise me.

But those are houses. I
mean, like, where is home?

Where's home for you?

Well, I live in the city
now, but when I think of home,

I think of my parents' house.

It's where we grew up, mostly.

I know I can always go there
to feel safe, happy, loved.

Are your parents around?

Uh, no. Illnesses,
a few years apart.

Um, I'm sorry. I didn't know.

It's in the book.

I haven't finished it yet.

Nah, excuses, excuses.

You know, your book's
good and all that,

but it's not really you.

How so?

Well, it's this
proud, accomplished,

bragging version of you.

Gee, thanks.

And you have every right to
be proud of what you've done.

It's amazing. It's just not you.

I think I should point out,
you've only known me a week.

It doesn't mean I'm wrong.

There's more to you
than the billionaire.

Now, most people are
fine with that title alone.

So, what more do you see?

I think,

well, I see a decent person.

Wow. Don't go too
overboard with compliments.

Maybe likable,
even, but you hide it.

Likable? I'm really flattered.

[scoffs] Don't mock me.

I'm pretty sure I'm
the one being mocked.

I'm being totally serious.

I think that
makes me feel worse.

Sorry.

It's fine.

I must not be used to caring
what other people think of me.

Oh, no, I'm not saying...

I mean, what I think
doesn't matter.

You've been telling me
what you think every day,

whether I wanna hear it or not.

Why wouldn't your
opinion matter to me now?

Are you saying it mattered
to you all the other times?

Yes.

[airplane engine rumbling]

It's coming!

Wow! [chuckles]

That's was amazing!

Did you get it all?

Oh, I got the whole
thing on camera.

Yeah! You have to
send it to Mom and Dad.

They'll get a kick out of it.

Yeah.

Addison!

Hi, Annie.

I still have it. My
mom says I'm wearing it.

Well, it looks a little
weathered, but that's okay.

Could you wake me another one?

Honey, Addison is busy.

No, it's okay.

I only know a couple
of animals, though,

because that's all my
brother here taught me.

You make animals, too?

I do.

When we get back to some paper,

we'll make you
something special.

Maybe you and your mom can come

by the house for
dinner tomorrow.

Addison and Pete can have
the origami for you then.

Thank you, but we
already have dinner plans.

Um, we were thinking of going
snoring in a couple of days.

Would you wanna come?

We could find a good spot off
of one of the small islands.

I have a boat that
could take us.

So do I.

Well, this one's more for sport.

It's easier to get
around for snorkeling.

And I read that turtles
hang out around those islands.

Can we, Mom?

Fine.

I thought for sure
she would say no.

Well, Annie helped.

I just hope Katrina doesn't
think I'm manipulating her,

because it kind of
feels like I am.

No, no, you're not. You're
just being a peacemaker, right?

Like, Dad always called you that

when me and Mom
would get in a fight,

and you'd be the one
to just smooth it over.

Maybe that's how I got all my

doctor's office people skills.

[chuckles] Yes, could be. But
you did set Katrina at ease.

He's right.

You did great.

Thanks.

You're gonna have to be
careful with how you bring up

the business and this
stuff with her, though.

Yeah. She's pretty
guarded already, isn't she?

Yeah. Keep it casual.

How?

I mean, I know how to be casual,

but with her, what
would that look like?

Relax. Just be yourself.

I usually am.

Yeah, but that's
Mr. Billionaire

determined to conquer the world.

What about the guy who grew up

gathering golf balls
for extra money?

Wait, what, really?

I regret telling
you that already.

Why?

You don't move in
these rich circles.

Nobody cares about a sob story,

especially if you're
from old money.

Well, Katrina strikes me
as someone who would prefer

an honest and
down-to-earth conversation.

Why else would she
have invited me

to a picnic at the
beach the other day?

I'm not telling her that story.

Then don't, but be
that person. Humble.

Instead of arrogant?

[bright music]

Hey.

Hey. Everything okay?

Yeah, yeah.

You need to stay off that leg.

Let me sit down, then.

So what's up?

No, it's a little strange.

What is?

No, I've just, I've
never seen Justin

ask for anybody's
help like that.

Well, it wasn't really
help. More like our opinion.

Yeah, see, that's the problem,

because Justin Ross doesn't
care what anybody else thinks.

Maybe he's turning
over a new leaf.

[scoffs] There are no new
leaves with him, only...

He's only got dead branches.

[both laughing]

Sorry, I'm trying to
figure out how to...

Remember that girl
in high school

that I had a crush on, Sadie?

Ugh, yes.

Yeah, right, and I didn't
wanna see it, but she was-

- Awful?
- Yes.

And by the time
I figured it out,

I got my heart just
stomped on, and you...

I used all my powers as a senior

to make her stop
manipulating you

and every other goodhearted
boy in your grade.

Right, yeah, so,

the thing is, I feel like the
situations are reversed now.

What do you...

Justin.

[scoffs] He's your boss.

Yeah, and still not the
best person in the world.

He's not the worst, either.

See, see? That's what
I'm talking about, that.

I feel like you're
seeing more to him there

than there actually is.

There's...

No, I'm not.

You sure?

Look, I get it, I'm the little
brother. What do I know?

But I do feel like
I'm pretty observant,

for the most part,
and what I'm seeing is

something between you guys.

Whoa.

I don't know about that.

Okay.

Okay. Maybe I'm wrong.

Just, um,

just watch out.

Of course. But there's
nothing to worry about.

Forward that to the on-call
service just so they're aware.

What else?
Hey, Addison.

Hey, we gotta go.

Ugh, yeah, we've
had a lot of problems

with that carer.
It's just,

I'm gonna be late,

and my leg's broken.
I think I might know

someone who can help.

Oy vey.

- What is it?
- I'm gonna be late

for my doctor's appointment.

Addison.

Hold on.

I'm sorry. It's work back home.

It'll be just another minute.

I can take him.

Are you sure?

You're in the middle
of something. It's fine.

Shouldn't I go with
you so you're not alone?

Ah, no, no, I can handle it.

Okay. Let's go, then.

Yeah, no, no. I'm still here.

Yeah, if you could call Kyle
about the vendor payment list.

- Stop that.
- What?

I can see you out of
the corner of my eye.

Oh, sorry.

So,

finally getting the cast on?

Yeah, yeah, that's the plan.

I had to wait for the
swelling to go down

before they could
actually cast it, so.

Oh.

How did it happen?

Oh, it was an accident.

No, I mean, it was, I
mean, I was on my scooter,

and a bike courier pulled
out in front of me,

and we just ran into
each other, and my,

my leg got the worst
of it, so yeah.

You got into an
accident on your scooter

with a bike courier?

Yeah.

It's not uncommon.

Hmm, I'm sure it's
not. Crazy city.

Yeah.

[Justin laughs]

[both laughing]

Oh, man.

[Pete] We're back.

Looks good.

Yeah. It's already itching.

What did the doctor say?

You know, the usual
stuff, don't get it wet,

stay off of it,
that kind of thing.

Thank you for taking him.

You're welcome.

Shall we eat? You need any help?

It's all ready.
I'll go grab the rest.

[bright music]

Maybe they're running late.

Or we've been stood up.

Yeah. I'm sorry.

I doubt it's because of you.

Well, let's just give
it a few more minutes.

I'll go make sure
the boat's ready.

We're still going? I mean,
even if they don't show up?

I mean, we're
here. Might as well.

Want one?
Yeah. Thanks.

So I have a question.

What is so special
about Katrina's company?

I mean, enough that you'd
have to go through all this?

Well, what her company has,

paired with what
my company does,

could make a lot of leaps

in battery power,
performance, and life.

And putting that into just
about every device we use

has a lot of
financial potential.

And if it doesn't
work, what then?

I move on. There are other
options, just not as good.

Someone is gonna figure
out what she has, though,

and go after it, giving
me more competition.

I wish I could leave it alone,
but it's out of my hands.

Is it? You're
the owner and CEO.

You make the decisions.

My fortune is tied
to wowing everyone,

and you can't wow anyone
without beating expectations.

Mm. Sounds exhausting.

Mm. Wanna switch jobs?

Uh, no thanks.

Office manager,
right? How's that?

It's fine. Much
simpler than your job.

I feel like you could do more.

I mean, you're very capable,

With your skills, you
could be anything you want.

I'm fine with who I am.

Addison Burke, office manager.

Just Addison Burke.

What I do doesn't mean
that's all there is to me.

Hmm. So who are you
beyond the office manager?

Organizational guru. Pete
makes fun of me for that one.

Oh, a fan of crafts and
nature documentaries.

Okay.

And a good friend.

At least, I hope I can say that.

You can.

Sorry. We're a bit late.

Katrina. Hi.

I'm glad you came.

Hey, Addison. Can
we go snorkeling now?

Let's get on the boat first.

[upbeat music]

Did you see the turtle?

Yeah.

Come on. I think there's
another one over there.

Hold on a sec, I wanna
grab my camera. Annie!

Go ahead and grab your
camera. I'll watch her.

Thank you.

Oh.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Are you guys hungry?

We got food, drinks, or-

No, I'm just here
to grab my camera.

Yeah, it might be kinda tough
to get her outta the water.

I think you're right.

Could we, um, could
we talk for a moment?

I'm glad you came.

Annie insisted.

To be honest, I was perfectly
fine to not show up.

[chuckles] I understand.

Well, there's no use in me
beating around the bush, so.

I did not handle
that last deal well.

I treated it just as business,

with that company being
some prize to win,

even if it meant going back
on some promises I've made.

I see now that I was callous,

especially after the deal was
done, and I didn't need to be.

Thank you for saying as much.

So what do you want now?

You're not one to pass
up an opportunity.

You want something.

Okay. I want to
acquire your company.

I think it would be a
great addition to mine.

I can see the headlines now.

"Katrina Sawyer
sinks another ship

for Justin Ross to pilfer."

Now, look, I'm only telling
you what I'm thinking.

Well, why my company?

Your new battery
patents and technology.

And some other parts
make sense as well,

but mainly the battery division.

Is that all?

What about you?
What do you want?

You don't care what I want.

I'm trying to. It's
new for me, I'll admit.

I want to turn it around,

to build it up and not
cut it into little pieces.

Okay. Go on.

I don't treat it
just as business.

[Katrina and Justin chattering]

Katrina said she'd look
over the proposals.

Proposals? More than one?

Well, it includes
some ideas she had,

which won't work, but it's okay.

The important thing
is we're talking,

and that's because of you.

Oh, I don't think I
had much to do with it.

You know what I mean.

With the way you befriended her,

and me, you created
a bridge, so,

thank you.

You're welcome.

You know, it was just as much

because you were
being more yourself.

Down to earth.

Humble instead of arrogant?

Yeah. [chuckles]

The guy who grew up like
millions of other people,

and worked hard for
where he is now.

You prefer him?

It's easy to like that guy.

Yeah?

Uh, I'm gonna go check
in with Pete, and see if,

see if I missed anything
that needs attention.

Okay.

The sales SVP thinks
these members are actually

on the low end of what
the battery could do.

Good. Nothing like under-promising
and over-delivering.

Hey, Pete, does
Addison like horses?

Uh, I mean,

I guess.

Sorry, horses?

Yeah. Is she okay with them?

Like riding 'em? I mean, yeah.

I mean, she went to
an equestrian camp

one summer growing up, so yeah.

Okay. Good.

Tell sales this is good, but
keep it under wraps still.

Okay.

[soft music]

Why is Justin asking
me if you like horses?

I have no idea.

Really? Are you sure?

Because the whole time
that I've worked for him,

nothing has been as bizarre

as what I've seen
since we've been here.

Well, I don't know
what to tell you.

Maybe he's just being nice.

See, that's the problem,
'cause Justin doesn't do nice.

And it's gonna kill
me to ask you this,

but is he flirting with you?

[scoffs] No!

Do you still know what
flirting looks like?

Yes.

All right, but you
do have to admit,

he is acting strange, right?

And don't try to explain
it away or deny it.

Okay.

Maybe.

Okay, then.

Does he date a lot?

I mean, do you send flowers
to women on his behalf?

[Pete laughs]

What is it?

Oh, you are interested in him.

It was just a question.

No, you don't ask a question
about someone's dating life

unless you are also interested.

What could you possibly
see in him, right?

Oh, it's not the money, is it?

No, of course not.

But, and I'm not saying
that I am interested, okay,

but what if,

what if he is just like
anybody else, trying to get by,

but under the scrutiny of
everyone watching and critiquing?

What if him being difficult
is the effect, not a cause?

Or he's a jerk and he is
gonna trample all over you

just like he tramples
over everybody else.

He's not a jerk. I
think he's lonely, though.

Really?

Well, think about it, all
that money and influence,

people assuming a lot
about you, it's isolating.

Ah, you know, my heart
just bleeds for him,

but that's not your problem.

You're not gonna listen to
a word I'm saying, are you?

Of course I'm listening,
but it'll be fine, okay.

Okay.

How's the leg today?

Oh, it's fine, thanks.

You have to wear
the cast for long?

Um, no, he said
six to eight weeks,

so I'm hoping for six.

Oh, did you see the
email from Katrina?

She says she wanted
to meet tomorrow.

That's great.

I can confirm that if you want.

No, I'll do it.

Oh, okay.

Good morning.

Hi.

[clears throat] So, uh,
there's this spot here

for horseback riding.

They take you on a path,
and through the water, too.

Would you like to go?

Yeah, that'd be fun.

[Pete clears throat]

I got a chunk stuck
on my throat. Sorry.

[bright music]

[Justin] What do you think?

That this is pretty
awesome. [chuckles]

I bet everything you do is
pretty amazing wherever you go.

But how do you find
one that stands out

when they're all so special?

You think the activity
is what's amazing?

Isn't it?

No.

So was there ever a time you
were impressed easily, too?

A long time ago.

What impressed you back then?

Uh, flying first class.

- Really?
- Yeah.

[Addison] Why?

Well, all these business
types were around me,

bored and used to it all,

the service, the extra room.

And I was almost giddy.

I felt like they knew
I didn't belong there.

And now you're
flying your own jet.

Oh, how things change, right?

[Addison] Being
impressed isn't bad.

It's sign you still
remember the simpler things.

Appreciate what's changed.

I don't run in
the social circles

that show any appreciation.

Well, that's too bad.

It'd probably be refreshing.

It is.

It's one of the things
I like about you.

You're not like everyone else.

You came here to
help your brother,

and you haven't tried
to butter me up once.

Well, how do you know?

Trust me, I've been
around enough people

who put on a fake smile to try
to get something out of me.

The thing is,

you're different,

and it's making me

be different.

[soft music]

[horse whinnies]
Oh!

[both laughing]

Thank you. I liked that a lot.

I'm glad you enjoyed the horses.

Not just the horses.

Addison. [chuckles]

Addison, did you see the
text from Mom and Dad?

Thanks for coming with.

Um, yeah.

She wants us to
spend Christmas in a-

In a tiny cabin.

Kinda hard to get excited
about after all this.

Yeah. Who's gonna
tell her that, though?

- Not it.
- Oh, come on.

What have you been doing?

I was just working
on the Katrina thing.

How do you think
that'll all play out?

Justin will keep
working on it out.

Now that she's talking,
he'll get his way.

Well, she still
doesn't wanna sell.

Yeah, well, he'll convince
her. It's what he does.

I thought she had some
ideas he was considering.

[phone chimes]
Yeah, it's just,

it's what he says.

[chuckles] Dad says he wants
to go on a cruise instead.

Gonna need your
peace-making skills.

[bright music]

Research, breakdown
of costs, profits.

Got it.

She's gonna be here
in about 20 minutes.

Yep. Plenty of time.

Do you want me to sit in?

No, let's keep it
as casual as possible.

She has a connection
to Addison, though.

Is she, uh...

Coming, coming.

Are you nervous.

About what? The meeting?

Yeah. it's important to you.

It'll be alright.

I just have to convince
her to see reality.

What if you two don't agree?

Probably won't at first,
but she'll come around.

I've looked over
what you sent me.

It's intriguing, but a
bit outside the scope

of what we talked about.

It's all simple
scenarios at this point,

but it would be a
mistake to dismiss any.

I've looked at the financials,

and the return
for your investors

is very favorable with
what I'm proposing.

In the short term, yes,
but I've missed the bigger,

longer-term picture before, and
I don't wanna do that again.

The long-term picture is,

your company's debt
is projected to grow

while your revenue shrinks
at an unforgiving rate.

You have to stop the bleeding.

Even so, let's
start with talking

about the scenario I'm
more interested in,

since it would be a mistake
to dismiss anything.

Of course.

I know I'm not the expert here,

but that meeting
seemed a little rough.

It's fine. That's
how it goes sometimes.

I think she felt like you
weren't listening to her.

I listened fine,
but she's wrong.

Her solutions aren't gonna
dig her out of the hole.

She started listening to you

when you were being
more yourself,

not the billionaire
business empire persona.

If you want her to-

Like you said,
you're not an expert.

I'm sorry, that was...

It'll be fine. This is hardly
a new territory for me, okay?

[soft music]

Justin.

Justin.

- What?
- Sorry.

What are you doing in my room?

I know. I'm sorry.

A story just broke
about you and Katrina.

What?

"Sources allude to
a proposed merger,

but analysts suspect
it will fail.

Sawyer confirms she
will not encourage

a sale of the company,

and instead stated
she will consider

new offers from
potential partners

to collaborate on its
revolutionary battery technology."

How did this get out?

I have no idea.

It could have been her people
who leaked it, or ours,

but she did make a statement.

This is her slamming
the door in my face.

What are we gonna do?

Call my pilot. Have
the jet ready in an hour.

The PR team is
ready and waiting.

I know Hank is
also making calls.

Fine.

I don't understand why
this story is bad thing.

Don't worry about it.

Katrina made her
position pretty clear.

She doesn't wanna sell.

I know. Told the
whole world about it.

So why not seriously consider
something she does want?

Ah. Something she wants?

Look, I appreciate that
you're trying to help,

but you don't know what
you're talking about.

- But what if-
- Uh, Addison,

can we have a drink?

You want some orange juice?

The story will blow over,
but the real damage is in-

The competition. Any
advantage we had is now gone.

There are very few that can
seriously compete, though.

But what does it matter

if she doesn't wanna
do business with us?

I was so close, too.

You still can be.

I wanna flex the muscle a bit.

Keep the other companies away.

Warn them off? You know,
that might create more waves.

More like dangle a carrot to
keep them out of the picture.

It'll leave her no choice
but to come back to us.

You really think that'll work?

Yes.

You hardly heard
out her alternatives.

If she thinks you
aren't listening,

it's no wonder this
is coming out now.

This is my business, not yours.

I'm running a multi-billion
dollar corporation.

You run a little
doctor's office.

Besides, you're only tagging
along for Skippy over here,

so don't pretend you know
what you're talking about

when you don't have
any skin in the game.

We'll, get on it right away,

but I think you should be on
the island while she's there

to try to salvage it once
we have a strategy in place.

No interviews. No, talk to PR.

Tell 'em to downplay this.

Hey. Are you okay?

What does everyone come up with?

It's not personal.

What he said, he didn't mean it.

He just gets so, you know,

he gets caught up on the
business end of things,

and then that instinct
to win and succeed,

it just kinda takes
over, you know?

I never thought I'd hear
you make excuses for him.

[chuckles] I'm not
making excuses, I just...

Look, I don't want
you to be upset

because of something he said.

You said it yourself.
He's not worth it, right?

You've been telling me that
for how many months now?

Come on.

How the tables have turned.

No, I just, this is what
I was afraid of, okay?

Addison, people like
him, they don't...

People like him don't change.

Okay, he might act nice
for a little bit, but it's,

it doesn't really mean anything.

Yeah. As long as we go
through back channels.

All right. Make some
calls to the board.

Make sure that you let 'em know.

I guess not.

I think that's what's
bothering me the most.

I thought he had changed.

I guess I was wrong.

Maybe I should've stayed.

I mean, you've got
things under control now.

I'm not really needed.

Yes, you are, for my sanity.

[both chuckling]

Look, either the deal's
gonna go through or not.

We're almost done, and then
we're gonna be back home.

Back to normal life.

All right, yeah.
Get back to me.

[soft music]

No, I don't like any
of her other options.

Katrina's company has-

Yes, exactly.

What? Yeah, yeah, still here.

Look, start reaching
out to their board.

You finished it.

Uh.

Yeah.

May I?

So I've been doing
some thinking, and,

I was out of line with
you the other day.

I'm sorry.

I should not have snapped at you

and made you feel unappreciated.

It's fine.

But thank you.

Look,

my world is harsh,

and has certain realities
and bottom lines

that I can't ignore.

I have a responsibility to
do what I think is best.

I know.

It's a lot for someone
to take in and understand.

I just don't want you
to see it the wrong way.

Okay.

So,

are we okay?

Yeah.

See, you say that,
but I get the feeling

you don't mean it
the way that I do.

It's like you said,

there are certain
realities in your world.

Just because I don't
understand them

doesn't mean I have
to accept them.

I'm going to town
for some groceries.

Anything you need
while I'm there?

No.

Whatever you think is fine.

[Annie chattering]

Annie, stay here with Jane

and pick something
up for Grandma, okay?

Anything?

Within reason.

I'll be right back.

Katrina.

Hi, Addison. How are things?

Oh, you know. Well,
you can probably guess.

I've heard Justin
doesn't like it

when he doesn't get his way.

He'll just have to deal with it.

How much longer are you staying?

I don't know.
Hopefully not long.

I've got to get back
to my real life.

I'm sorry things
didn't work out.

You gotta do what's best
for you. I admire that.

I'm not talking about business.

I mean, between you and Justin.

Ah.

Me too.

I hope we run into
each other again.

Maybe back in the city?

I'd like that.

[soft music]

Hey.
Hey.

I ordered dinner.
It'll be here in an hour.

Okay. Thanks.

What are you doing
out here anyway?

Just getting some vitamin D.

[scoffs] You need anything else?

Uh, no, I'm good, thanks.

Hey, Addison.

Yeah?

I think I preferred
it when you hated him.

Uh, it's all right.

It's silly.

All this?

What does it matter?

You have feelings for him.

He cares about you, too.

I know, that seems
pretty important.

Maybe your friendship
with Katrina

has put you in an
awkward position.

No, it's not that.

Then what is it?

He's not who I

thought or

hoped he was.

You were right before.

We're just in two
different worlds.

You could always go home.

What about you?

You're already on that leg
more than you should be.

No, I can handle
it. I promise.

I'll think about it.

[melancholy music]

Hey.

There's more in the
kitchen if you want.

Okay. Thanks.

Enjoy.

Mind if I, uh, join you?

Women, am I right?

Can you say that?

I can if she can't hear me.

You don't have to pretend
your loyalty is to me.

I'm not.

Can I be to both of you?

You're only saying that
because you wanna move

to project management someday.

I remember.

Don't worry.

Job and aspirations are safe.

We can just forget
about this whole trip.

Yeah, yeah, sure, if
that's what you want.

Sorry, look, I'm just saying-

What I want is for business
to go onward and upward.

It's okay to want
something different.

Who says I do?

[chuckles] Emotions
cloud business judgment.

I think that was a
point in your book.

So?

So I get the logic
for wanting to keep

the heart and business
separate, I do.

But business doesn't
have to be heartless,

and you don't have to
ignore what you feel

to reach some estimated
earnings projections.

- Eat your food.
- Okay.

[soft music]

[bright music]

What's up.

Did you really
mean it when you said

you could handle things here
on your own if I went home?

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

Is that what you want?

Are you sure it won't
hurt things with your job?

Oh, no, I'm sure it'll be fine.

I mean, I'm not saying that
Justin's gonna be, like,

happy about it, but...

Yeah. Don't tell
him I'm leaving.

With everything going on,

it'll be better for
everyone this way.

You really think so?

There's a flight
leaving in a few hours.

I'll call you a cab.

Thanks for meeting me here.

Annie wants to go to
a bird sanctuary, so.

I'll get right to it.

Mom, where's the bathroom?

I'll take her.

So I assume it was you who
leaked that we were talking?

No, I had Jane do it.

Ah, nice.

I wanted you to take my deal.

It's better for me, and in
some ways easier for you.

I'm not one to
take the easy way.

Yeah, I got that,
and respect it.

So what do you want
most for your company?

I want my company to succeed.

I want the people who work there
to be proud of what they do

instead of feeling nervous
that they'll be out of a job.

I wasn't exaggerating
when I said

you're headed for disaster.

You can't do it on your own.

But what if you had help?

I don't want a bailout,
especially not from you.

I'm not known for my charity.

No, consider it more of
a strategic partnership.

How could that work?

Do you have a pen?

Addison?

Pete?

We have a deal with Katrina.

Well, that's great. How?

Where's Addison?

She's gone.

What?

She felt it was time
to get back to her life.

[jet engine roaring]

You shoulda told
me she was leaving.

Look, one of you
was gonna be unhappy,

whether I did or not.

And you don't know Addison.

She can get pretty
scary when she's upset.

Yeah. I can see that.

She feels I'm not
listening to her,

that I don't care
about what she thinks.

I mean, do you?

Of course.

You always say that
business comes first,

regardless of what people
feel, but with Addison,

feelings matter, people matter.

I know.

I spent my whole career
doing whatever it takes

for my business to succeed.

I never cared enough
about the people involved

or how it might affect them.

And now you do?

I see that Addison was right.

No, I mean, what
about the bottom line?

'Cause the reality
of the situation is

that it's probably
gonna cost you.

So if it came down to it,

are you willing to let a
multi-billion dollar deal

fall apart for a girl?

For the right girl.

Seriously?

Why wouldn't I?

If there's one thing
that Addison showed me,

it's that there is more
to life than money.

And in this case, the
deal only happened

because I finally
started listening to her

and started caring about
more than just business.

Are you saying
Addison's that girl?

[Pete chuckles]

All right, that is what
you're saying. Okay.

Now I just need to figure
out how to convince her

that I can be the guy
that she thought I was.

Could you teach me something?

[soft music]

[phone chimes]

Katrina.

Do you like 'em?

Sorry. Uh, Pete gave
me the spare key.

[sighs] I thought you were
supposed to be in St. Martin.

How, how did you-

Private flights are
faster than commercial.

Right.

Is it okay that I'm here?

Yeah.

I heard about your
deal with Katrina.

You did?

She seemed pleased.

I'm glad.

Yeah, we talked and figured
out a way to work together.

Basically, I'll license
her battery technology

exclusively for a few years,

and then we'll collaborate
on the next generation, too.

Turns out to be a
win for both of us.

That's great.

I wanted to tell
you all about it,

but you had already left,

and that felt worse than
any deal falling through.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. I
understand why you left.

You didn't think that
you mattered to me,

or that I had changed.

But you do matter,

and I have changed.

Or at least, I'm trying.

Although, I'm sure, no
matter how hard I try,

I'll still make mistakes.

Well, that's understandable.

You know, there's only
one person in my life

who isn't afraid to call me out

and tell me what I need to hear,

even if I don't like it,

and that's you.

I,

I need you.

You do?

So,

you think you could
put up with a imperfect

but semi-charming guy?

Semi-charming?

Well, I have to give you
some reason for you to like me.

There's actually a
lot of good about you.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You're kind, when you want to,

and so intelligent

and driven.

What you've done from gathering

the first golf ball as a
kid until now, it's amazing.

And you're thoughtful.

Wait, are those origami flowers?

Yeah. Do you like 'em?

Did Pete make them?

I did. Well, he taught
me on the flight here.

See? Thoughtful.

I love them more than
any of the others.

Good. They're worth
all the paper cuts, then.

Oh.

[bright music]

So you'll give
me a chance, then?

Mm, I'll think about it.

[bright music continues]
