Mother's here.

She'll take care of you.

You would.

So immature.

Don't push me in.

You know I wouldn't do that. Come on.

I'm leaving.

Why? Because I'm bored. I'm not interested in being the third wheel.

Jenny, it was your idea to come here.

Because I thought your uncle was going to be here, but he's totally

Well, maybe he's in his room. Yeah. You should go find him, huh, Jenny? And take

the initiative.

Fine. Obviously, I'm not wanted here.

Jenny.

What's her problem?

Hey.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Why don't you come out by the pool?

Why are you laughing?

That's kind of rude.

I don't know. I think the red's a little bright. How about something

less cherry?

Why don't we think about it just as an accent?

We were at Grandpa's swimming.

We're going to go in my room, okay?

Well, what about Kiwi?

Kiwi, love him.

Oh, you moved back in with your parents.

That's cool.

Yeah, I'm safari.

It'd be kind of weird living back at your old house.

I want you to take your clothes off and put them in.

It would

be great if we could get it all in by the first of the month.

Thanks, Glenn.

You have a good day.

Hi, Henry.

Hi. I wanted to talk to you.

Have you said anything to Lily?

About us?

What about us?

You got our kiss?

No. No, no, I haven't told Lily that you kissed me.

I don't plan on it.

Henry, when you're older, you understand that these things happen all the time.

It really doesn't mean anything. It's better just to put it out of your head.

I think I'm old enough to know that these things don't happen all the time.

They do mean something, and I can't just put them out of my head.

I'm not interested in protecting you.

I just don't want to hurt Lily.

I care about her.

I care about her.

Well, you don't need to worry.

I'm not going to say anything.

What are you doing?

What is it? What's wrong?

What are you doing?

I'm finding you irresistible this morning.

Is that so?

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

Let's get back to bed.

It's got to be at 9 o 'clock. Is that Cameron?

You can wait.

He's the chairman of the board. There's a meeting this week, you know, with the

voting man officially, the publisher of the newspaper.

If Daddy wants him, they won't stop it.

I still have to create a relationship with the guy.

So, invite him over to dinner.

We'll show him what a glamorous power couple is running the sun.

We'll charm him to death.

Will you do that?

I'll leave you to come back to bed.

Wait a minute.

I've got to take the kids to school.

Oh, my God.

It's all right. You know, it is a sad day when your 15 -year -old daughter is

getting more sex than you are.

What?

Relax. I'm only speaking hyperbolically.

She and Henry are practically joined at the lift these days.

They disappear for hours after school doing God knows what.

He's 16. He's got hormones.

It's only a matter of time.

What? What's wrong?

I'm going to have a conversation with her.

I'm just going swimming.

First of all, I don't want you hanging out with your Uncle Nate unsupervised.

Jenny has a crush on him. It was her idea.

I don't care whose idea it was.

And second of all, you and Henry have got to slow down. You don't need to be

spending every waking minute with him.

I see them go into their room and lock the door, and I can hear them kissing.

At least I don't have a pair of binoculars so I can spy on Mona Kenyon

door.

Lily, just get...

Lily, I don't know this kid, Henry. Maybe I should have a talk with him.

No, Dad, please don't.

There's nothing to worry about, I swear.

All right, well, for the next couple of days, I want you to come straight home

from school. You need to be concentrating on your homework.

My dad is basically grounding me. He thinks I'm having sex with Henry. Are

Hardly. Well, why not? If you're going to get grounded for it, you might as

do it.

And I

was

like, oh, my God.

I think I'm in love.

Jack Cameron,

the man I met. Robert, how are you? Can't complain. Dad's up in Saskatchewan

hunting grizzlies or something. You know, they get this crack team to shoot

with a tranquilizer. The dad just comes up and blows poor Teddy's head off.

Well, that's one way to do it.

Ah, the man I'm looking for. Jack, thanks for coming in.

Oh, you two are sitting down?

Well, I get to hear all of Will's magnificent ideas for the future. Oh,

don't say. Do you mind if I join in?

Maybe not today, Robert. I've got to bend jacks here for a while. I wouldn't

want to bore you.

Okay. I get it.

So, Catherine and I were wondering if you and your wife might be interested in

coming over for dinner.

Do you have any plans tomorrow night? Well, I'll speak to Phyllis.

She's the social director.

Great.

I have 20 minutes to my next shift. 20 minutes?

Oh, my God.

20 minutes.

20 whole minutes.

Oh, my

God.

Sorry, door was open.

Yeah, Catherine, this is Tom.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Hi.

Would you excuse me while I get dressed?

I thought we were going shopping.

Yeah, I know, we are.

Can you come back in 20 minutes?

Who is he?

I think he's the one.

I'll bet you say that every time.

I know, but this time I mean it. Where'd you meet him?

Your house.

He's Henry's brother.

Henry who?

Lily Henry.

Henry Bellow.

You're dating Henry's brother.

Isn't he adorable?

You want to go swimming again?

There's this new record store in Old Town I really want to check out. I

Why not?

My dad won't let me.

What do you mean?

He's worried that we're spending too much time together.

He thinks that we should slow down, whatever that means.

He wants me to come straight home after school.

What? I know, it's ridiculous.

But I'm sure it's just for a few days.

Your dad told you we should slow down? Or your mom?

My dad came into the kitchen this morning. He went ballistic.

I think it's because we went to go see Nate.

Nate's persona non grata around our house.

They're sure he's going to corrupt me.

Who told them we went to go see Nate?

My mom. Why?

Henry, it's not that he doesn't like you.

It's that he's always been overprotective when it comes to me.

After a while, he'll get used to the idea that we're, you know, together, and

he'll relax.

Right. Right.

Don't worry.

Robert,

you scared me. I should just quit.

I should just drive my SUV straight into the ocean right now. The chairman of

the board is in Will's office, and I'm on the outside looking in. Why is

everybody even wasting my time?

All right, just calm down. Oh, no, I'm not going to calm down. I've spent my

whole life working for this job. I introduced you to that pompous ingrate.

only here because of me. Mom and Dad are trying to screw me over, and you're on

his side, too. No, that is not true.

Well, then why did you invite Jack Cameron and his bitchy little wife to

over here and discuss the future of the paper?

My paper. Okay, all right, fine.

What do you want me to do? Take a side, me or Will. Where do you stand?

After all we have been through together, I would not be here if it wasn't for

you.

I care about Will, but you know where my loyalty lies.

Well, then help me.

Help me.

Miss Henry has no parental supervision at home.

Every time I see them together, he's physical with her. He's touching her.

kissing her.

Who knows what he's coaching her into.

Should I take out a restraining order?

Honey, you shouldn't feel guilty about protecting your own daughter.

Somebody's got to be the bad guy.

She'll resent us now, but she'll thank us later.

Yeah, much later.

I've got to go with Jack Cameron.

Fair.

It's good that he's coming over here, because I can't seem to get any flow

him at work. He's so formal.

Maybe over here he'll loosen up.

I thought I'd invite Robert, too.

Yeah?

Beth and her new boyfriend.

We don't want it too intimate, do we?

No. It's just that things between Robert and me have been a little tense lately.

Oh, honey, Robert's my brother. He's your friend. You guys got to put the ego

aside and work through this.

Hello?

It's Henry.

Yeah?

I know what you're doing.

Excuse me?

If you try to keep Lily from seeing me, I'm going to tell her what you did.

I'll deny it.

And you don't want to get into a credibility match with me.

She'll know you're lying about me.

Just like your line about Meredith Weller's murder.

Henry, you don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, I think I do.

I can make life very difficult for you.

I'm not afraid of you.

Not get your uncle out of my mind.

I want to go to his house today after school.

Come with? I can't. I'm basically grounded.

You're going to make me go alone?

Don't go at all.

God, he's ten years older than you.

It's not the age difference that's the problem. I mean, I'm mature beyond my

years.

I am.

The problem is that we don't have that much in common. Like, he's with his

wife's debauchery, and I'm like a total princess.

Anyways, tonight I was thinking that maybe I could take a walk on the wild

What do you mean?

Well, maybe if I fry my brain, we can start connecting.

We'll speak the same incoherent language.

Jenny, you're crazy. Just give it up.

Oh, come on. It's just one night.

It's not like I'm going to turn into a junkie or anything.

I'll see you after class. Okay, bye.

Girls.

The school bell has rung?

Okay. Jane.

Oh, hello, Catherine. Hi. How are you? Oh, I'm all right.

Actually, I'm not.

I'm concerned about Lily.

Oh, why is that?

She just hasn't been herself lately.

Has her teacher said anything to you?

No. Not that I can recall.

She hasn't been studying. She's become uncooperative.

Even hostile.

Oh, man.

It's all because of the Henry Bellow.

I came home the other day and I caught them.

I think they were having sex.

Oh, dear.

So Will and I talked to Lily and said that she couldn't see him anymore. I

just for a little while.

Of course.

And Henry called me last night and threatened me.

Saying all this outrageous stuff. I mean, it's really bizarre. Are you not

serious? I wanted you to know so that...

If you don't mind, keep an eye on them on your end.

Oh, yes, of course I will.

Thank you.

I really feel sorry for Henry, I do. He has nobody looking after him.

But if he is going to be a negative influence on Lily, I need to protect

You know, I just wish all our parents were as involved in their children's

as you are.

Thank you, Jane.

Hey, did you do the reading?

No.

Why not?

I was busy.

Last night I pulled a ton of articles on the Meredith Weller disappearance.

Most of it was the same old dry dead -end garbage, but there were a few

that were interesting.

They were all from the Pasadena Voice, and all written by the same guy, Harold

Kleinman. This Kleinman guy was the only reporter to sit down with Philip Parker

one -on -one after the disappearance, and he's convinced that Parker was

accused.

I think we should track down Harold Kleinman after school.

He probably lives in Pasadena.

I'm not supposed to hang out with you after school.

Your family may be involved in a murder and a cover -up.

If this guy has some insight, don't you want to know? What reignited your

interest in this all of a sudden?

Good morning.

All right, everybody, let's get going.

Please take out your homework and read... Your mother knows what happened

Meredith Weller.

She's lying to you, I'm sure of it. How are you so sure?

I just am.

Your mother...

She's not who she pretends to be.

What is that supposed to mean?

Henry, Lily, can I have your attention, please?

What do you want?

Cerveza, por favor.

Yeah.

You. You have to ask, brother.

The last time I was here, I was 15 years old. I had this big blowout with these

strippers, and my parents came home.

Busted me coming off to boarding school the next day.

Hi.

Hey. I came here.

Hey.

I've met you like 15 times and you still don't know my name? Yes, I do.

Okay. Then what is it?

It's Jenny.

Right. Jenny, this is Kip and Bucci.

Bucci! Say hi to Jenny.

I just came by because I'm in the mood to party.

Cool. Well, you came to the right place. Here you go.

Thank you.

Sit down.

Jenny.

Cheers.

Yeah, can I get the number of a Harold Kleinman?

Henry. Hey, Henry.

Hey, guys.

I need a tie.

Beth invited me over to the McAllister's for dinner.

I'm meeting the family.

It's going to be fine.

It's not like my parents are going to be there.

It's just Will and Catherine.

We've met them, Henry.

They're not that bad, are they?

No.

Catherine's dying to get to know Tom.

She's asked a million questions.

Ooh, is this your tie collection?

Well... Yeah, it's Henry's, actually.

Yeah, this is a problem.

I'm going to have to take you shopping immediately.

Hey, Tom, look, can I talk to you for a minute?

Can it wait? We're running late.

Bye, Henry.

Yeah.

Yeah, I can wait.

I am such a good sister to you.

You think so?

Uh -huh. Did a little research today.

You know what I found out?

Jack Cameron is not the chairman of Rees Corp.

You know who is?

From all the years?

Phyllis.

Phyllis is the puppet master behind the entire corporation.

He consults her on every decision.

And sometimes, she beats him.

She what?

She beats him.

Phyllis is an alcoholic, liberal, hating, law and order John Birch

who is known to fly into a rage and beat her man.

Now, Robert, if you can't capitalize on that, you're on your own.

She beats him? Uh -huh.

Get to the wife and make your case. It's not over till it's over.

You're good.

Don't question my loyalty again. I won't.

Hi.

Mona. Hi, Mr. McAllister. Is Mason here?

Hey, Mona.

I was just wondering what you're doing tonight.

Nothing.

Hey, send Mona to invite Mona in.

Yeah, Mona, do you want to come in?

Sure.

You know, I've never seen your room before.

I guess I'll be up in my room.

What are you reading?

Heddy Gabler.

How is it?

Disturbing.

Ellie, I get the impression that you're mad at me.

You're perceptive.

Sweetheart, it's just that I don't want you to be pressured into doing things

that you're not ready for.

Henry's not pressuring me into anything.

Well, I don't know Henry.

You're right, you don't.

Ellie, I love you.

And ultimately, you're going to do what you want to do. I'm just trying to

encourage you to take things slow. That's all.

It's not that I don't trust you.

I trust you completely.

Here we are. How are you doing, Jack? You look beautiful today.

Phyllis, you look lovely. Can I take your... Thank you, dear. How nice.

Phyllis, hi.

How are you? Well, good evening. Thank you for coming. Jack? How are you, Will?

I'm good, of course. Phyllis, can I get you a drink?

Oh, definitely.

Chardonnay, please. Chardonnay. Jack, how about yourself? No, no, no. He's

driving. Getting here was an absolute ordeal. Will, there are far too many

people in this world, and none of them can drive, especially Jack.

My dad was just going on about how much he trusted me.

And what is he trying to cage you up?

I'm going to get in so much trouble.

Hey.

I'll never know you were gone.

Come on. Let's do this.

Harold Kleinman?

I'm Henry Bellow.

We spoke on the phone?

So you want to know about the Meredith Weller case, huh?

Can you tell us anything?

Who's your good boy?

Who's your good boy?

Well, I can tell you that Philip Parker had nothing to do with her

disappearance.

Nobody wants to report it.

Nobody wants to investigate it.

Nobody wants to make any accusations, do they?

It's obvious what happened.

One of the Greeleys murdered her.

You go step up.

And the rest of the family helped to cover it up, didn't they? Yes, they did.

Yes, they sure did.

Yes, they did. We have become an endangered species in our own country.

They already outnumber us.

Who do?

Who? The Mexicans? The blacks?

The Filipinos? Whoever.

And they have money now?

And political power?

I'm telling you, it's a nightmare.

Everyone's moving to Montecito.

It's like the fall of Saigon. The last of the wasps will be evacuated from the

roof of the Huntington Hotel.

You got a point there, Phyllis.

Thank you, Robert.

Mona.

I'm sorry for what I said to you at my grandfather's party.

Calling you a whore.

And all that stuff.

That's okay.

I understand.

You're a teenage boy. You have natural urges.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

It's hard.

I think I can give you a hand with that.

I'd really like to help.

I want to give you something.

Something that's going to change your whole life.

Something that's going to make you feel really good.

Okay.

What's this?

I'm starting a chapter in Pasadena.

For the National Teen America Virginity Pledge, I'd like you to join me soon.

All you have to do is sign this and give me $5 and you're a lifetime member.

Hmm.

Member. My whole prayer group is already signed.

I'm sure we're not all reactionary racists in this house.

I didn't realize people like that still exist.

I could be surprised.

Now it is so nice to finally talk to you. Beth has told me so much about

you.

That's so great. Yeah.

So much fun.

And I know Henry.

Oh, that's right, yeah.

Has he told you anything about our family?

I haven't seen him much lately, but he doesn't need to. I know all about your

family and everything you've done for Los Angeles. It's impressive.

Dad's told me that you dropped out of college so you and Henry could come down

here. Well, you know, Henry's the genius in the family.

So when he got into Arroyo Alto, I figured I can't let him pass this up.

What about your education?

I'll go back to school someday.

Well, you know, the dean of admissions at CU is a friend of the family.

All it takes is one phone call.

Really? Yeah.

It's just, uh...

Yeah, I don't have the time.

I need to make money.

We could get you a part -time job at the paper. You could take classes and work.

I don't know what to say.

Just say you'll think about it.

You have to admit, even though we've got a large circulation, we are lacking in

the realm of prestige.

He wants to...

Diversified the staff?

Well, Noel's a liberal.

Well, he is?

Well, actually, he's sort of left of the left. You know, he wants to completely

overhaul the op -ed section.

What? What?

Phyllis, he's got an agenda. I don't particularly agree with it, but he's the

new publisher, Phyllis. We're just going to have to roll with it.

Diversify the staff? What the hell does that mean?

Robert, does your father know about this?

I don't think Jack does, because he hasn't said one word to me about it.

not one word. I don't get it.

So you said the Greeleys were involved in some kind of cover -up, but how do

know? Two eyewitnesses.

Philip Parker dropped Meredith Weller off at the Greeley house.

One of them was a housekeeper, an illegal immigrant who was deported the

following week.

The other witness suddenly recanted the story and moved out of town.

The original investigator on the case retired six months later. This was a man

who made $40 ,000 a year working for the Pasadena police.

When he retired, he bought a million -dollar home in Hancock Park.

Hmm.

It was bought off.

I've tried to interview him 15 times.

Every time I go, he's more terrified of me than last. You want to know why?

Why?

His boss, chief of the Pasadena police department at the time, was an

undistinguished political lightweight with no power base to speak of.

Then three years later, armed with a large war chest supplied by George

and his associates, he runs for the mayor of L .A. and wins.

He's been running the city ever since.

Mayor Perry.

That's the key.

There are many people in this city with much to lose if the truth about Meredith

Weller ever comes out.

Now let me ask you a question.

Why are you so interested?

This cake has been cold for 20 years.

My name is Lily McAllister.

You're a Greeley.

So, Nate, I

know I'm young and you're old.

But I'm Ritz, and you're Ritz.

And I'm attractive, right?

And you're attractive.

Right.

And I just think we have a lot in common, don't you?

Oh, I think I'm gonna puke.

I saw a girl floating in this pool.

What? She was dead.

She'd been stabbed.

In the chest.

That was a dream.

It wasn't a dream.

I saw her floating in this pool.

And then they dragged her out.

And they buried her in the backyard.

Who did?

He said it was a nightmare.

Nate, your wife said you just need to sleep it off.

It wasn't a nightmare.

I saw her.

You're scaring me.

I better go.

Here you go, Phyllis.

You know something, Robert?

I really like you. I do. I just don't understand between you and me why your

father didn't turn the publishing reins over to you in the first place.

I mean, you are smart. You're charming.

Square jaw?

Well, my father only ever notices my shortcomings, so... I don't see any

shortcomings.

What I want to see is your long coming.

It's pretty funny, Phyllis.

You know something?

I cannot help but notice that you have been flirting with me all evening.

What?

Naughty boy. I am a married woman.

Yes, you are. You're married.

But who cares?

I mean, really.

Say, now, listen, just because I had a drink or two does not mean you can take

advantage of me.

You know, Tom, I'm worried about your brother.

Why is that?

I don't know.

He's been acting strange, kind of resentful.

Really? And I was just trying to help him.

Help him what?

Find your mother.

My mother's dead.

I know that that's what you've been telling people, but Henry told me the

What's the truth?

That you moved down here to find her.

She's in Pasadena, right?

I guess he thought I'd be able to help.

Something wrong?

Uh... Thanks. Thanks for dinner.

And thank you for taking interest in me.

I have to go to talk to Henry now.

You guys?

Yeah. We need to go.

Oh, okay. All right. Good night. Bye, nice to meet you.

I just feel like I don't know anything anymore.

I don't know what to believe.

I don't know who to trust.

You can trust me.

Lily, there's something I've been wanting to tell you, but I

didn't know how to say it.

What? What is it?

The other night, when I slept over,

your mother...

She tried to seduce me.

What?

Henry, if you're kidding.

I'm not kidding.

I woke up and she was on my bed and she

was kissing me.

I don't believe you.

Well, Jack, I can't thank you enough for coming.

Oh, it was a pleasure. This is a lovely home you have here. Thank you.

I'll see you tomorrow then, Neil.

Right.

I'll just go and get the car.

It was a pleasure indeed, Will.

Pleasure. Let's do it again.

I'm out of here.

Hey, Robert, I know things between us have been a little... Listen, you don't

have to say anything.

I was a little disappointed, but it's all good. You don't have to worry about

thing.

Great. Thanks.

I better go home and take a shower.

Hey, Mace.

Where's Mona?

Gone. Thank God.

Well, it's Lily. She's not in her room.

Looking for something?

Or should I say someone?

Tom, I had a life.

I had friends.

And the whole time that I've been working at crappy restaurants and

clothes on your back, I've been living in the same town.

As the one person in the world that I would like to see dead.

Tom, I'm sorry.

Shut up!

I can't even look at you right now.

Where have you been? I was with Henry.

This is a serious breach of trust, young lady.

Don't talk to me about trust.

And I'm not the one trying to have sex with Henry. She is.

Smeb!
