Original subtitles

[VO] Previously on Beauty and the Billionaire...

So a few months ago, Mason Flynn started receiving these.

More has developed, too.

My security team found deliberate damage to my car.

I have that wine label in Switzerland that keeps

wanting me to come out and see their operation.

Now might be the perfect time.

So now you have to spend 24/7 with Mr. Billionaire.

If you think of a different solution, let me know.

Otherwise, this is what I agreed to.

Whoa!

[Nick] I don't like it.

I don't understand why you don't trust me.

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

Maybe this is goodbye for a while, then.

My dad, he didn't want me to work for Mason,

so he doesn't know that I'm here with Mason.

She's working as Mason's assistant.

I think you're mistaken.

You ever wish things were different for you?

Maybe a different career path?

Depending on why you left the police force.

I had a case go wrong. That's why I left.

[Sinclair clears throat] - Mr. Sinclair.

I figured Mason would be plenty

busy putting out fires back at home.

You seem overly fixated on him.

Well, he's a friend.

Friends don't stab each other in the back.

He's watching me.

The other threats were public images, but this...

Do you think it's Duke?

Are you working with Mason Flynn?

[suspenseful music]

[pensive music]

[suspenseful music]

Mr. Flynn!

Your breakfast is ready.

Thanks, Rita.

I'll take it inside.

Oh, alright then.

Oh!

Sorry.

Great. [woman] Oh, look out.

No, don't mind me.

Brooke.

Morning.

Is that it?

Yeah.

How is he?

Better than most would be, but...

Yeah.

I'd just feel better if he had some

support or something throughout this.

He has us.

But his family should know.

At least Stan. Then maybe he'd ease up on Mason.

You know how they are.

Be honest with me.

How worried are you?

Very.

Best case scenario, things continue as they are.

And the worst?

Do you think his life's really in danger?

Or livelihood.

What do you mean?

Whoever's doing this could endanger his life.

If they want to ruin him,

they could go after him publicly instead.

Hey Elaine, could you send me Mason's schedule for the week?

I sent it earlier.

Oh.

I don't see it.

Fine, I'll resend it.

I had to rearrange most of it anyway with your little getaway.

Elaine, you know nothing is going on.

Jess, can you join this meeting?

Yeah, sure.

You think he'll make a move publicly?

It's a possibility.

With how things have been escalating,

that's a logical step.

There's nothing logical about this guy.

He's crazy.

Obsessed.

Any thoughts on what type of event might be tempting for him?

Jess.

I'm not sure.

I'll see if Trisha has found anything

with the letters while we were gone.

Maybe that will help us narrow it down.

We have your race event this week, and then the gala.

What if we have someone go in your place?

You?

I can, but... I was actually thinking Curt Lindsey.

He's a good, solid representative of the company.

Or there's your dad.

No.

It's safer to cancel.

I can't do that either.

Jess?

Yeah?

What do you think?

Oh, well, canceling is safest.

How important are these things to you?

Think about it, at least.

On the bright side, Fly's rebounding,

slowly, but it is picking up steam.

I don't think we'll be too far from our sales

goals if the trend we're seeing continues.

Good. Thanks.

Hey, Jess.

Um, you got a minute?

Yeah.

[curious music]

Something wrong?

I was going to ask you the same thing.

You were a little... distracted.

Sorry. I don't mean to be.

Is it more than that?

You seem a bit... I don't know... down?

Oh.

Or maybe just tired.

I did kind of drag you to Switzerland and

back, so if you need the day off, it's okay.

No, no, no. I'm fine.

I just... I got into an argument with my dad.

Oh.

Uh... what about?

Are you working for Mason Flynn?

Why do you think that?

Nick told me.

Is it true?

Jessica?

Yes. I'm working for him.

You said it was one of the

executives, like it was someone else.

Well, you were so against it.

I didn't know another way to help you without--

Lying? - That wasn't my intention.

So was your trip to Switzerland with him, too?

Yeah, but--

So now you're traveling with him?

Why would he need you?

What does he have you doing?

If I tell you, you have to keep it to yourself.

Okay, you can't tell anyone.

I don't like the sound of this.

Dad, I mean it.

Will you keep it to yourself?

I've been posing as his assistant, but really

I am working undercover for his security team.

What?

He has had some scary things happen.

That's why I'm there.

So... so now you're risking your life for him?

Hardly. And how is that any different from when

I was a police officer?

Protecting the public is noble.

Protecting him is...

Dad, whatever you think about him,

he doesn't deserve to be a victim.

I don't like this.

Sorry, but I had to tell him the truth and

the reason why I'm really working here.

Don't worry, I didn't tell him about the threat letters.

Okay.

He was that angry?

He'll get over it eventually.

Is there anything I can do?

He's not really a fan of yours, so...

Probably not.

I meant for you.

Oh.

I'm all right.

Okay.

Um, just so you know, I'm...

I realize you're dealing with a lot for me.

Or, for your dad, but also for me, and...

I just wanted to say thank you.

You're welcome.

So, looking at the timeline, these started out as letters

with an unhealthy obsession vibe.

Jealous, even.

I mean, the first one says, just a pretty face,

but the second takes it a lot further.

So much better than the rest of us, you'll still bleed red.

Getting into threats.

Oh, I spoke to Wilkins. Do you remember him?

He transferred to the FBI,

wanted to do the profiling thing.

I read him the text.

He hasn't seen who it's about.

He seemed to think that there were some inconsistencies.

Like, it starts out as a crazy fan,

but then there are these jabs.

Like, the one about the pretty face.

Like, that's just mocking him.

But the later ones, that's where

we're getting into death threats.

Pearce did say that the threats span

over the course of a few months.

Could that be it? The evolution of the obsession?

Maybe.

I mean, the first letter was postmarked four months ago,

and then letters two through six are pretty spread out.

Roughly every two to three weeks.

Okay, well, going back to the timeline,

it was a day or two after the sixth letter came

that the intruder broke into Mason's bedroom.

And then a week after that, his brakes were sabotaged.

Yeah, and then the surveillance photos a few days after that.

Why the escalation?

Could be frustrated with him?

Not getting enough attention?

Maybe he wants to get caught?

Publicity seeker?

Could be.

I looked into Flynn.

Do you know that he had someone attack him in his office?

Really? - Uh-huh.

Three weeks ago.

Pearce did mention they had an incident.

Well, where's the suspect?

In the psych hospital for evaluation.

I'd peg him as delusional.

It's not him.

But it's possible that Flynn has

more than one crazy over-the-top fan,

or flat-out enemy.

Speaking of, did the name Duke Sinclair ever come up?

No. Who's that?

Just another rich suit. A competitor.

But he was in Switzerland when this letter came.

Coincidence?

Maybe. I don't know. He's just...

Well, there's definitely bad blood.

Okay. Well, I'll look into him.

Any other suspects that you think

might hate him enough to do this?

Maybe it's not about hating him.

Maybe it's about scaring him.

Or killing him.

I mean, the brakes incident? That was an attempt.

I'd still feel better if you had official backup on this.

Me too.

[Elaine] No.

No, I'm sorry. He doesn't get to meet with Mr. Flynn.

He can talk to HR.

Okay. Goodbye.

[sighs] Some people...

Everything okay?

Just employees who think Mason's door is always open for chats.

Mr. Flynn, let me inform Mason that you're...

[door closes]

Glad to see you can show up for work.

[Stan] It was irresponsible.

The captain doesn't abandon ship when things get tough.

[Mason] Would you stop with that metaphor?

I had business in Geneva.

[Stan] Oh, and yet somehow you were not available

to take my calls.

[Mason] Well, there's a big time difference

and like I said, I was busy.

[Stan] Oh, stop it.

You ran off because you got your feelings hurt and it's childish.

A man faces his problems.

You are my problem.

Excuse me?

You've been so desperate to reach me

because you know you messed up.

You said you want Brooke to replace me,

and you can't even apologize.

I won't apologize for looking out for my company.

It's my company.

Another one of your elaborate tests for me.

And I've taken it this far, I could take

it even further if you'd stop interfering.

There's real money at stake here.

Investors, people's jobs.

Don't act like I don't know that.

I've never given this anything less than 100%.

What about when you turned 30 and thought that ridiculous

party was appropriate to throw when you missed earnings?

That was five years ago and I did it for employee morale.

[Stan] It was part bachelor party.

We should do something.

[Mason] It's past. - No.

[Mason] And you've berated me about it ever since.

You want me to rub your nose in all your mistakes?

-[Stan] I don't make mistakes. -[Mason] Oh, that's rich.

Perfect dad. Perfect businessman.

Are you that delusional?

-[Stan] Watch it. -[Mason] No, you watch it.

I'm tired of being your verbal punching bag.

[Stan] Don't play the victim. You always do that.

Can we just skip to the end now?

You've yelled at me for being a huge disappointment.

We can reset the clock and do this again in a few months.

Don't be glib.

This little session is costing the company 60 grand an hour.

So I'm being cost conscious.

You're overpaid.

[knock on door] What?

Excuse the interruption.

I brought you both coffee.

Would you like it here by the table or maybe by the couches?

Get out.

Hey, this is my office.

Oh,

did you just push your little call button to get rescued?

Is that what this is?

I just thought that--

Is this why you're so unfocused?

Your mother thought so and I laughed at the idea.

He's not the committing type.

And you're not going to change that.

No, that's not what this--

Jess, out.

[reflective music]

Did you really think he'd thank you or something?

Or maybe you were trying to get on Stan's good side.

Neither. [Elaine] Huh.

Now you see.

Just because he takes you on one trip

doesn't mean you're his girlfriend.

Derek, I want you and Marco to divvy up

these sites and do a little advanced recon.

Okay. I'll talk to him and get right on it.

Sorry to interrupt.

No problem. What's up?

It's a quiet night, I think.

And I didn't see anything else on Mason's schedule.

So I just was wondering if I could go home.

Yeah, sure.

It's been a hectic week already.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Thanks.

Good night. [Pearce] Good night.

[upbeat music]

Oh, you're home early.

Yeah.

I hadn't made dinner for a while so I

thought I'd make your favorite pasta recipe.

How was work?

It was okay.

Was it dangerous?

No.

It's more or less just babysitting.

How's your job search going?

I've sent out resumes for twelve jobs today.

Wow.

And as soon as I get something, I want you to quit.

Dad... - I mean it.

Nothing good can come from being around Mason Flynn.

You shouldn't have lied to me.

Or agreed to work with him in the first place.

Well, you understand I had to, right?

No, you didn't.

And it isn't worth the risk either.

Dad, you still...

I'm not doing this because I want to.

Do you think it's fair you get a fresh start

while I have to deal with all of this?

No. Of course not.

That's why I want you to quit.

Trust me, days like today, I want to.

But I know staying is the only

way I can keep you out of trouble.

Do you know when Jess left?

Around six.

Was she alright?

Mr. Flynn. I've been trying to reach you. I'm Simon Lucero.

- Not now. - It's important.

- Make an appointment. - I've tried.

Step away, please.

Good morning, Mr. Pierce.

Good morning, Rita.

He'll be down in just a minute.

Hi, hon. How was your flight? Are you back home?

Oh.

No, I get it.

Yeah, stay there with your sister.

When will you be back?

Oh, okay.

Um... No, it's fine. Uh...

Yeah, okay. I miss you.

Yeah, I'll talk to you later.

I love you.

Sorry, it's my wife.

Everything alright?

Yes, of course.

I've been over your upcoming events, and

my team will be as ready as we can be.

Hopefully, we're preparing for nothing.

Okay.

I do think Jess needs to be near on all of these.

Not on the other side of the room, but close.

I agree.

Good. I'll let her know.

I'll tell her about this weekend's race.

- You sure? - Yeah.

Okay.

You need to leave soon for your 11.30. It's across town.

Right.

And then you have a one o'clock lunch,

and then the conference room at 2:45.

Stop right there, because I won't remember

anything after that.

That's why you have me.

Let's go.

[dramatic music]

So, there's that race this weekend

with the team that I own. - Mm-hmm.

I'm hosting a VIP event with it.

- Okay. - Will you come?

Pearce thinks you should stay close by.

I'll... Yeah.

I'll ask Pearce about the details.

Look.

About yesterday with--

Mr. Flynn!

You again.

One minute. Please.

I think I deserved that after you fired me.

I didn't fire you.

You had your people do it.

I...

I don't understand why I got canned.

Look, it's a big company.

There's a lot going on.

You should talk to HR.

I did. But all I got was the runaround and

blamed for the Fly ear buds problems.

Go reach out to HR again.

Hey!

I just want to understand why.

I wasn't the only one working on it.

So why am I the only one getting booted?

You need to calm down.

You're just as much to blame for it as I am.

And I don't see you getting fired.

You don't even know who I am, do you?

I need security in the parking garage, sub-level two.

You should know what your people do and

everything they give to this company!

-[Jess] Get in the car. -[Simon] I want answers!

Get in. Hey! Back off!

[Jess grunts]

Stop!

Jess!

[Jess grunts]

[Simon] Let go of me! [Derek] Don't move.

You're getting arrested. You understand that?

- You okay? [Simon] I want my job back.

[Jess] Wait in the car until he's secure.

Wait, are you bleeding? - I'm fine. Go.

What's going on?

[Simon grunts]

Should I call someone?

Get in the car both of you.

Go!

We're going to charge you with assault!

[Simon grunting]

What is going on?

That guy, he was fired or something.

No, I mean Jess. What is she doing?

Her job. She's protecting me.

- Okay, good work. - Thank you.

Alright, cancel the rest of the day.

Done.

You okay?

Yeah, can we go now?

Sure, where to?

I want to get Jess to a doctor.

What? No, I don't need a doctor.

You hit your head and got smashed into a column.

I just need a good night's sleep. I'll be fine.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Alright, well, we'll drive you home then. Come on.

You don't have to take me home.

You're not driving yourself.

You have better things to do.

Not right now.

Thank you for the ride.

Yeah.

What are you doing?

Helping you out.

Thank you again.

Yep.

What?

Are you going inside?

Is that okay?

I just want to make sure you're alright.

Well, my dad might be in there and he does not like you.

There's no other car here.

Yeah.

The fact that you didn't notice that means it's time for ice.

Ice?

You have a bag?

What?

One of those zip bag things for food or something.

By the fridge.

Here you go.

You usually get a bag of frozen veggies for this.

Oh, has this happened before?

Uh, not the first bump on my head.

You're acting weird.

Why'd you do that?

Stop that guy?

Because I'm supposed to.

Derek and I could have handled it.

It was getting out of hand.

I mean, he was coming right at you.

Yeah, I was surprised that you stopped him.

I'm pretty capable.

The hardest thing is gauging how far to take it.

Defusing the situation is always better than a fight.

You're so calm about it.

Mason, I encountered far worse when

I first got out of the academy.

From drunks to abusive domestics.

I've had guys shooting at me, so today was easy.

Who was he?

Pearce is looking into it, but

seems like a disgruntled employee.

Hmm.

Do you get a lot of those?

Probably as many as any other company.

Do you have a concussion?

Ugh, no. No dilated eyes. Pearce checked. So, not that bad.

Not your worst day, then?

No. No, yesterday was... was worse.

Why?

It felt like me against the world.

I'm sorry.

I know my dad was out of line.

I wasn't that great either.

I guess I overstepped, too.

No, you were trying to help.

I was just embarrassed about all of it. I didn't handle it well.

He still shouldn't have said any of that to you.

Either way, I'm sorry.

You alright? What can I get you?

I'm fine.

Here. Here. Lean on this.

[thoughtful music]

Thank you.

I'll let you rest. See you tomorrow?

See ya.

Mr. O'Brien?

What are you doing here?

Just giving Jess a ride home. She, uh, had a headache.

I don't like you being around her.

Have a good afternoon.

I'm having the legal department take whatever action

it can against Simon Lucero. He won't bother you again.

And I talked to several people on his team.

While I wouldn't call him the sole person

responsible for the hiccups with Fly,

his work was sub par and it did lead to some issues.

HR had already taken steps with him, corrective action

plans and such for a while. This was the last straw.

Why does he think that I pushed to fire him?

I don't know. Probably because your name's on the building?

Is it safe to assume he's unrelated to everything else?

That's my hunch, but I'll have Jess put

in a call to her old police partner.

Okay.

How is she?

Good, I think.

Jess did pretty well yesterday.

Do you think I should let her out of our agreement?

Why?

She didn't exactly sign up for danger and intrigue.

Um, she kinda did.

You know what I mean.

I think she's invested. She wants to see you safe.

What if something happened to you?

She's only known me a few weeks.

She watches you closely.

Well, she's supposed to.

Close as you watch her.

Oh. Really?

What? I don't watch her.

More than you watch me or the other guys.

Okay, look. Talk to her if you want to, but listen to her also.

If she wants to stay, we need her.

You're not his assistant, Mason told me.

Um, did he tell you why?

He told me a little. He said to keep it quiet.

I'm sorry. I kept thinking you were replacing me.

Now I know.

Thank you.

Hey, Elaine.

Jess. Can I steal you for a little bit?

Uh, yeah. Let me just go tell Marco.

Mason said you got hurt.

Oh, I'm fine now. It's just a bruise or two.

Well, I'm pretty sure it scared him.

Why? What was he expecting?

He's gotten to know you, and we don't

want harm to come to anyone we care about.

Care? That's a stretch.

What makes you say that?

You are a part of the team.

No, I know. He's just so hard to read.

You know, one minute we're on good terms,

the next he's fuming at me, and then back again.

I see. Well, take it from me, Mason is not an open book. I've

dealt with his moods over the years. You'll figure it out.

Um, did you and Mason ever date?

No.

Sorry, that's none of my business.

It's fine, but...

Ew. I don't date younger men,

especially not him. Why do you ask?

Just from what you said. I wondered. Plus, he respects you,

so I just... I didn't know if there was any history there.

No. But you seem to have had good moments

with him, and that's pretty remarkable.

It is?

It's quicker than usual for him to warm up to someone.

He must appreciate something about you,

even if he isn't consistent in showing it.

Can you zoom in right there?

Hey.

Hey. I got your message about the disgruntled employee.

Yes. Did your partner say anything about him?

- He was released. - Oh.

I'm sure legal proceedings are pending.

Hey, I wanted to get your thoughts about questioning him.

Can we do that?

Well, we're not police, so he might refuse to speak

to us, but it's worth a shot to see what we can learn.

Okay. I'll go with you. Thanks.

[dramatic music]

You realize he won't be happy to see us.

Want me to take the lead?

Be my guest.

-Hi. -What do you want?

We wanted to ask you a few questions.

You're Flynn people. My lawyer said I shouldn't talk to you.

I'm just trying to understand a few things.

I think you said you wanted to be heard. Am I right?

For all the good it did me,

your pit-bulls wouldn't let me near him.

I'm sure that's really frustrating.

Pearce, would you mind giving us a minute?

I'll wait by the car.

I didn't mean for things to get all crazy.

Well, that's good.

Did you get hurt?

I'm fine. Thank you.

So, what did you want to ask?

How long have you been upset with things at work?

A while. But it's like any job. Ups and downs, I guess.

Until they fired you?

Yes.

How long have you been trying to contact Mr. Flynn?

About a week.

The answers HR and my own boss gave me were lies.

So I thought I'd take it up with Flynn.

Ever try writing him?

Like an email? No.

Do you know if anyone else is upset with Mason?

I don't know. Why?

I'm concerned others may take things too far.

I already told you I didn't mean it.

But I'm not a part of a club.

Of course.

So what do you like to read?

What?

Just curious.

I listen to audiobooks.

Any magazines?

Thoughts?

Disgruntled for sure, but he's not one to plot.

So a waste of time.

No. Now I know.

Hey.

Long day?

What are you doing here?

I didn't feel good about how we left things before.

Oh, you mean on the phone? Or when you told my dad

I was working for Mason Flynn.

I didn't mean to. It just sort of slipped out.

Great. Thanks.

Makes my life harder, which is just what I need.

That's why I came.

When your dad and I talked, all he

wanted was for you to get out of this.

So I talked to my friend JT. He's an old college buddy.

And he's a lawyer now. And he says you can

get out of this deal with Mason easily.

Why are you telling people about my business?

Hear me out. He said the contract

can be dissolved if there was any--

It's not a legal document.

Even better.

Nick, I'm going to honor my end of the deal.

I'm not just sticking around to help out my dad.

What?

There is something important going on,

and I need to help him.

Mason Flynn?

Why?

Who cares?

He can get a thousand assistants.

I'm fine with how things are.

What about us?

There...

There isn't an us anymore.

I didn't mean for it to go this way.

Can't we just take it all back?

It's not that easy, and I think it's for the best.

Jess?

Goodbye, Nick.

Fun plans with Nick today?

Uh...

Actually, we broke up.

Why? He was so good to you.

It just wasn't right anymore.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's okay. I'm fine with it.

What have you got going on today?

Headed to the motor speedway for a race.

That sounds exciting. Wait, is this for Flynn?

Yeah.

He's got you working on Saturdays?

- Dad... - All right. I...

I just know that you were really unhappy the other day,

and it's my fault that you're in this.

I shouldn't have said anything.

No, you were right to.

Nothing like putting your old man in his place.

All I guess I have to say is, um...

Thank you.

And be careful.

I will.

[upbeat music]

He'll be down in just a minute.

Thanks, Rita.

Hey.

Hey. Pearce is in the car.

One second.

So, I've been thinking.

With that employee and everything,

I don't feel right with you being caught in the middle.

Okay.

So, if you wanted to leave and not do this anymore,

it's all right.

I won't hold it against you or your father.

Uh...

Wow.

Thank you. That's so nice.

But... I can still help.

I want to stay.

Okay.

Besides, we gotta keep you out of trouble

so you don't give Pearce a heart attack

with all your adrenaline junkie antics.

Come on.

[exciting music]

[Curt] Mason. Nice day for a race.

As long as my team wins.

Ah, no betting.

Hey, Jess. - Hey, Brooke.

Did you invite Duke?

No. Why?

Have him removed.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why?

Mason, that won't go over well.

It's my event. My team.

These people will talk.

I know he's not your favorite person,

but he's not gonna do anything here that'll make him look bad.

Fine. Keep him away from me.

Too late. He's coming this way.

Mason. Thanks for inviting me.

I didn't.

I figured it was an oversight anyway.

So, you're back sooner than I thought.

Why didn't you enjoy more days in Switzerland?

That lovely company?

Uh, I wonder why.

Any ideas, Duke?

Maybe it was you showing up and spoiling the whole trip for me?

I was meeting with investors.

Hmm.

There's a lot of nice potential there.

We should talk shop a bit.

No, thanks. Race is getting started.

Well, enjoy the race, Duke.

Curt.

Hm?

Maybe cooler heads could prevail here.

You got a minute?

Uh, yeah.

He is deliberately haunting me.

Yeah.

Did your old partner find out anything about him?

Well, I spoke to her last night.

Nothing stands out about Duke.

But she is still going through everything.

And Simon Lucero, the fired employee?

Sorry.

He has an alibi for the day of the intrusion at your house.

Too much to hope he's all my problems wrapped into one man?

Yeah.

Did you ever have any cases that were easy?

A few.

And a lot pan out over time.

Any unsolved ones?

How do you handle that?

The best I can?

Look, Mason, we're going to figure this out.

You really think so?

I do.

How can you be so sure?

Because...

I'm not going to accept the alternative.

Not for you.

Come on. We're missing the race.

[engines revving]

That's, uh, very interesting.

We'll discuss it with the Flints.

All right. Thanks for listening.

Yeah.

What was that about?

I am still trying to process it.

Duke is fishing for a merger.

What?

Best case scenario.

I mean, there were rumors, but...

Wait. Why would he want a merger?

He's in trouble.

He just got back from Switzerland

seeking more funding.

You sure?

I have never seen him that... humble.

Wait. Are we talking about the same Duke Sinclair?

I know you two have had your differences.

He's a thorn in my side.

Okay. Between the lines, I think he's

embarrassed that he has to ask for help.

Maybe resentful.

He's facing the music now.

You're serious?

He is.

Wow.

What do you think?

Well, my first instinct is let him fail.

- And second? - Still, let him fail.

Well, I'm sure my father would disagree.

Tell me I'm missing an opportunity.

He doesn't have to know.

You think Duke's next stop isn't my father?

Well, it is your decision.

If only.

The last thing I want is to be forced to work with Duke.

What do you want?

What do you mean?

Have you ever thought what you want out of this?

Not Duke, but all of it?

The business?

Yeah, sure.

And?

If it's not what my father wants, does it matter?

Of course it does.

He wants me to take over, but only under his terms.

Only if I agree to do things his way.

Maybe you need to tell him what you want.

How you feel.

It might help him understand.

What I want.

Like I always say, you gotta find

what you love in life, then follow it.

Stan used to believe that.

He did.

He used to have such a passion for living life to its fullest.

My father's only passion is a growing net worth.

He used to love this woman.

This is before your mother, of course, but,

he was more carefree back then.

But it ended badly.

And then I saw him shut down a side of himself.

Never asked him why.

And when he met your mother, something was back.

He was different.

More calculating, more determined to succeed.

Maybe it was his drive to provide for her and you.

If that was it, he needs to learn to turn it off.

It's not like we're downsizing anytime soon.

Old habits and whatnot.

Do you think I'll end up like him?

Too soon to tell.

Comforting.

If you want my advice...

Find what I love in life and follow it?

Exactly.

You gotta find something you want to live for.

Ideally, someone.

Man, you do that...

Priceless.

[suspenseful music]

[camera shutter clicks]

[intense music]

Stan?

The cook has lunch ready. Come inside.

I'll be right there.

All right.

[suspenseful music]

You want something to eat?

Sure.

So, with what Curt said about Duke,

do you think he's no longer involved in the threats?

I don't know.

Him asking for a bailout was...unexpected.

Didn't know he was in so much trouble.

Easier to hate him when you think he's involved.

Oh, I still hate him.

You enjoy the race?

Yeah. I'd never been to one before.

Sorry, it wasn't a better one.

It was fine.

I was hoping today wouldn't be so much business.

Then maybe don't hold an event for everyone?

I'll remember that.

I kind of miss Switzerland.

It was nice. Not just the country, but...

The company?

Yeah.

Oh, excuse me.

Pearce said Jess would need a ride home?

Right.

Thank you.

Take your time.

Well, business or not, I still had a really good time.

Even if I only saw a little.

Maybe another one would be better.

Allow you to see more.

Maybe.

You could go to one with me.

Not as a bodyguard, but just me asking you.

What would you say?

I'd say that hypotheticals can be dangerous.

Maybe.

I would say there's a 60% chance I'd say yes.

That's good.

Only 60, though.

How do you like your sandwich?

Actually, Clive is waiting. I should get going.

Okay. Thanks for coming today.

Mason?

Maybe 70%.

Bye.

Bye.
