MAN: Tom Rhumor's will is clear and simple.

All his worldly goods are to be divided equally

between his wife, Katherine Rhumor

and his first wife Gidge Brant

and their children, Richard Rhumor and Sage Rhumor.

Katherine, Tom has specified a few things that he'd like you to keep for yourself.

The Paul Klee the Morandi and the Villard,

the Oyster Bay house, the house on Fishers Island

and two more things.

In a codicil added by Tom last week,

Katherine inherits one of his companies--

MRQ Alternatives.Last week?

Yes.

When exactly?

Um...

Monday the 6th.

Two days before he dies,

he decides to leave me a company?

Why?

He didn't say.

And the second thing?

He left you the townhouse on East 73rd Street.

What townhouse?

Doughnuts.

Congrats.

Your promotion.

Oh, yeah.

Thank you.

How you doing? Week two, right?

Beignets aren't doughnuts.

Last night's intake.

[muttering]

Not a lot of new things.

Mostly updates, so you can work on them on your own.

What I need you to do is concentrate on Yuri Popovich.

Why?

Because Spangler asked us to, and he would like

I doubt there are any,

Can we cancel that meeting?

That sounds like a waste of my time.

Not if Mark walks away, wanting to help you in any way he can.

Ten minutes of your time now

Okay, fine, let'skeep the meeting.

MILES: Look at this.

One minuscule mention on page 12 of political unrest in Nigeria.

Now, if that isn't a handy euphemism for a bloodbath.

The phones are down.

I checked with someone I know at State.

She said the embassy was evacuated this morning.

Miles... I don't want to be callus,

but I want you to concentrate

on Yuri Popovich.

Don't worry-- I'm all over Yuri Popovich.

What do you got?

The... man sitting to the left

German? Yes.

Good. What else?

We've uh, got his birthday, his home address

That's it?

TANYA:So far.

Keep digging.

So how's careerday, Grant?

Great.

Did you know?

No, of course not.

I don't believe you.

Guys always cover for each other.

Tom wasn't cheating on you.

How do you know?

I knew Tom.

Then why did hehave that townhouse?

Maybe he just needed a place to decompress

during the day.

No, he-he slept there,he entertained there,

he read novels there.

Graham Greene--for God's sake.

[rapping on door]

The morning of that train crash,

David's car was parked in spot number 13.

Impossible. He would never do that.

I know.

But I saw it, and that's where it was.

Which means somebody else parked it,

or he wanted us to know something was wrong.

What?

I don't know.

But what if he knew that trainwas going to crash?

I found this in David's office.

The letters meannumbers, right?

"H" is 8,"P" is 16,

but I-I can't seemto find a pattern in it.

This is really old-school.

Just like David.

It's a simple book code.

How was your first day in charge?

Uh, it was... frustrating.
