[narrator] Previously
on Chesapeake Shores:

That developer, Evan Kincaid,
he rubs me the wrong way.

Why? He's witty and dynamic.

[Bree] I met my nemesis.

I had a hard time getting to know
people. And you were out of my league.

- I'll take the job.
- So he was cute?

[Linda] Mr. Dilpher, I'm glad
you're letting us represent you.

We have an inside
track on Mick O'Brien.

[Kevin] You know The Bridge?

Wondering if you're
interested in working there.

I appreciate it. But I'm
not looking for charity.

- You deserve the best, Abby.
- So do you.

[Trace] Maybe now we'll find it.

- Morning.
- Morning.

I am running late.

Coffee? Please say there is.

There's coffee.
What do you think?

- Pick a centerpiece.
- For what?

For what? Your sister's wedding.

Which is gonna be here before
we know it. Jess asked for help.

We need a centerpiece that
will go on every table.

- I like that one.
- Which one?

- That one.
- This one with the daisies?

- Yeah! That one.
- Yeah?

- I like them all.
- And that's the problem.

I know. I'm trying to see
all sides to the story.

As a writing teacher, I
can't be too judgmental.

Well, I still need your opinion.

I like them all!

Okay, fine. I like the
one with the blue ribbon.

- That's my favorite too.
- Morning.

Morning!

Get this message from
the Kincaid site?

[Mick] Yeah. Not good.

Texting Larry right now to tell
him we're on our way. Sorry.

They uncovered asbestos
pipes in the ground

and if it's contaminated the
soil, it could shut us down.

[Megan] Oh, that's awful.

Ah, it'll be fine.

So it's not the best time to ask
your opinion on the centerpiece?

Oh. Um... I like them all.

Blue ribbon. Bye!

- She's got good taste.
- She does, doesn't she?

[vocalizing]

We go to court today on Bodnar
et al. V. MacLeod Industries.

A class action suit.
Where do we stand?

We have two principal plaintiffs,
and affidavits from 400 others

claiming salary disparity between
men and women at the company.

MacLeod is trying to have the
case dismissed. Of course.

Of course. Who's presiding?

Judge Martinez.

Um...

- I'm sorry, did I speak out of turn?
- No.

Not at all, O'Brien.

Please, tell us more
about Judge Martinez.

Well, from my research, um, he
is a strict constitutionalist.

- Mm-hm.
- He's a real stickler for the law.

Yeah, and a fine golfer
and a good friend.

Linda and I have known
Jim Martinez for years.

I think we can handle him.

I'm sure you can, sir.

Good.

Linda, why don't you take O'Brien
with you for second chair?

He's been here a
couple of months,

time for him to get some
on-the-job training.

Thank you, sir.

You wanna sit down
so we can continue?

Oh. Uh...

Yes, sir.

You sure you wouldn't rather
be back at the office?

They can just as
easily reach me here.

The wonders of the digital age.

Yeah.

You okay?

Well, I'm trying to be.

Soil tests are being done and
we can't reach Evan Kincaid.

I have no control over that.
So I'll relax and enjoy myself.

You know, I had forgotten
how much I love this place.

Well, this is where I found that
vintage Baltimore Orioles mug

- I gave you last Christmas.
- Oh, then I love it even more.

- Mick, look.
- Hm?

What is it?

Is this Chesapeake Shores?

That's the bay, but so few houses.
It's gotta be at least 30 years ago.

Uh, excuse me. How much is this?

Eight.

- Hundred?
- [laughing] Funny.

Oh. Eight bucks.

My treat.

You big spender.

Well, I'm a huge patron of
the under-ten-dollar arts.

- Here you go. Thank you.
- Thanks.

You own a painting.

Thank you, Mick.

Welcome.

I think this is an
Arthur Driscoll.

- And that's good?
- Mm! Yeah. Very good.

It's not impossible.
He used to summer here.

- I think I've heard of him.
- Mm.

He was a big deal in the
art world in the '60s.

- Mm-hm.
- A rising star.

- What happened to him?
- Nobody really knows.

He stopped painting in the
'70s and sort of disappeared.

There are very few
verified Driscolls.

Well, it is beautiful.

And if it's authentic,
this is a find.

If you sell it for a million
bucks, $8 of that is mine.

Although we all love Betty,
I think we can agree,

she's getting a little
long in the tooth.

We love her, but let's face it,

she needs to retire.

We're long overdue
for a new fire engine,

and the council have
come up with funds

to present us with one
on Chesapeake Shores Day.

We'll be hosting a fire safety booth
and giving tours of the fire house.

Volunteer sheets are up.

Oh, and the Chesapeake
Shores Day triathlon

is coming up soon.

Now, let's get to work
keeping the Shores safe, huh?

Uh, Cap.

Listen, my brother's biking, I'm running.
Still looking for a strong swimmer.

Thank you, but, uh, my Australian
crawl isn't what it used to be.

Maybe you could coach me, then?

- I know your college track record.
- Oh, that's a million years ago.

But, yeah, I'd love to.

- Yeah?
- Work out a schedule

and make it happen, Karl.

- Did he just call me Karl?
- I think so.

Come to think of it,
you do look like a Karl.

- Do I?
- Little bit.

Still looking for a swimmer.

Count me out. I'm running
with Brenda and Tabitha.

- That is a killer trio.
- I like our chances.

Since we'll both be running,
we'll compete against each other.

- Are you worried that I'll beat you?
- Maybe.

Husband versus wife.
Dangerous territory here.

Whatever you say, Karl.

That's very funny.

No, I need to speak to
Mr. Kincaid himself.

It's about the Chesapeake
Shores project.

When will he be available?

That's not good enough.
I understand he's busy.

We're all busy. Listen, this
is not how I do business.

You tell him to call me today
or this entire deal is off.

Thank you.

- [Thomas] That's telling him.
- Uncle Thomas. How are you?

Better than whoever you
were just talking to.

- What was that about?
- Just an important client.

Don't let him push you around,
don't let it bother you.

- Yeah, I'm okay.
- Yeah?

You got that line
between your eyebrows.

Oh, I know. I haven't
been sleeping very well.

- It's the Dilpher thing, isn't it?
- Yes. Yeah.

Dad's reputation is
really taking a hit.

And we're losing clients.

I might've just
lost another one.

- Not really sure what we're gonna do.
- How's Mick taking all this?

He's angry, and
confused, and hiding it.

- That's Mick, all right.
- So, uh, what are you doing in town?

I'm on my way to Baltimore
to, uh, check out a property.

We need a presence in the city.

You know, we own a block
in the Hampton area.

- It would be great as an office building.
- Well, that's the spirit.

Send me the specs. I'll stop
by and see how Mick's doing.

He'd like that.

- It's great to see you, Abby.
- You too, Uncle Thomas.

- [cell phone chimes]
- Bye.

Oh, son of a...

Good afternoon.

We have a busy docket today

and I would like to
keep things moving.

Case number 559903.

The class action suit alleging
unfair wage discrimination

against female workers
at MacLeod Industries.

Ms. Nelson. Nice
to see you again.

You are arguing against the
motion to dismiss, I assume.

- Yes, Your Honor.
- [Martinez] Before we get started,

there are laws in place
preventing wage discrimination.

So why are we here?

We're here because
MacLeod Industries

is using work disparity
and physical strength

to justify paying its female
employees less than its men.

And you're arguing that
women are as strong as men.

I'm not sure I agree with you.

[scoffs]

You think I'm wrong?

- Pardon me, Your Honor?
- What's your name, son?

Uh, Connor O'Brien, Your Honor.

[Martinez] Well, Connor O'Brien,

don't you agree that people
of the male gender tend,

on average, to have
greater upper body strength

- than those of the female gender?
- Yes.

And we're dealing specifically,

as I understand it,
with warehouse workers.

Lifting things, am I correct?

- Yes, Your Honor.
- All right, then.

But...

Mr. O'Brien, you better make a
cogent argument or pack up and leave.

Uh, yes, Your Honor, I... I...

- I'm waiting, Mr. O'Brien.
- Yes. I...

I have three
sisters, Your Honor.

That's your argument?
You have sisters?

Yes, sir. Three of them.

And?

And I find that women are capable
of doing anything men can do.

That's an opinion, Mr. O'Brien,

- and not a mitigating factor here.
- Isn't it, though?

Your Honor, I'm talking
about a deeper strength.

One not represented
by physical labor.

When women are presented
with a problem,

they don't just solve that problem,
they think three steps past it.

And they get the job done.

[pensive music playing]

That was amazing.

Was it?

Enough to have him
deny dismissal.

I've never seen
Martinez do that.

Well, I Googled him.

- He was raised by a single mother.
- Pretty clever.

Nice work. I like how
you made it personal.

You had a lot to do with that.

I did, didn't I?

And I just told Judge
Martinez the truth.

An unprecedented legal strategy.

- Buyer's remorse?
- Not at all.

Even though the signature
corner is damaged,

I really think
this is a Driscoll.

- Did you contact the estate?
- There are no living relatives.

But I tracked down an
art gallery in New York.

They gave me an
old contact number.

- What did they say?
- Called a few times.

Just rings.

No answer, no voicemail.

- Why don't you try again?
- Yeah.

- Hey, Dad, do you have a second?
- Yeah, sure.

Take a look at this.

[line dialing]

[man] Hello?

Oh. Yes. Hello.

Um, I am calling concerning a
person named Arthur Driscoll.

Speaking.

Arthur Driscoll?

That's what I said.

Well, it is wonderful to
speak with you, Mr. Driscoll.

I think that I found
a painting of yours.

Good for you. Hang it over your
fireplace with my blessing.

[line disconnects]

Uh... Uh...

Mr. Driscoll? Hello?

[scoffs]

Sure it's from Evan Kincaid?

It says it is, and that
he is calling us at 5:00.

[groans] He wants to
FaceTime. I hate those.

But he could be anywhere.

We don't know if he means
Eastern Time or Pacific Time.

If it's Pacific, it's 2 p.m.

But if he's in London,
it'd be 10. Paris, 11.

You know that off
the top of your head?

- I worked in finance. You learn it.
- Yeah.

Well, it's 3:30 now, it gives
us time to work out a strategy.

- Now, the soil samples are...
- [FaceTime ringing]

What's that?

It's Kincaid. How'd
he get my number?

He's rich?

- [Evan] Hey.
- Hello, uh, Mr. Kincaid.

- Hello?
- Dad, you're on mute.

- Mick, you there?
- I know that.

- Mick?
- Um...

Hello, Mick!

- Hey there.
- [Abby] Hi.

Uh, Mr. Kincaid, we
were expecting you at 5.

Yeah, it's 5. Here
in Newfoundland.

They have such crazy
time zones. Can you talk?

- Uh, sure.
- Abby! Is that you?

Yes. Hi. Abby O'Brien.

Ah, I don't do last
names. Too complicated.

I'm Evan, you're
Abby. Right, Mick?

So this asbestos thing,
kick in the pants, isn't it?

Sounds complicated. I'm pulling
out. I can build somewhere else.

Wait, Mr... Um, Evan.

Of course you can build somewhere else,
but there's only one Chesapeake Shores.

- Where's Chesapeake Shores?
- Where you're building your hotel.

Oh, right.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I knew that.

I have a million contracts.
Figuratively or literally.

Have you ever been here?

It's one of the most
beautiful places in the world.

You know what? Just a sec.

Okay, yeah. There we go.

- Evan, what are you doing?
- I'm rock climbing.

Well, mountain climbing,
actually. It's beautiful.

So why are you calling us now?

Klaus said you wanted me to.
You scared Klaus, you know?

- Nothing scares Klaus.
- Uh, well, thank you, I guess.

Tell you what, I can hear
the passion in your voice.

- How about we chat tomorrow?
- Sure.

Could you tell us
what time you'll call?

- Eastern Standard Time.
- Nah, forget the call.

- I'll come by.
- Excuse me?

I have to be in
D.C. this weekend.

I'll stop by on the
way. Be seeing you.

He's stopping by.

Oh, joy.

- Need a spotter?
- Hey, Thomas.

No, I'm good. Thanks.

So you bought back
The Bridge, huh?

Yeah. I should have
my head examined.

Turns out we have issues
with plumbing and electrical.

Well, I recall the, uh, chicken
wings being pretty good.

I do have that going for me.
What brings you down here?

I've been looking for a
new office in Baltimore,

and Abby said that your Hampton
area property would be ideal.

- She did?
- Yeah.

So if the numbers are
doable, we should discuss.

I'm kind of swamped now.
We got this new client.

Yeah, the infamous Evan Kincaid.

Yeah, precisely.

I just hope I don't have to
replace all the wires here.

Hello.

Excuse me. Uh, Mick O'Brien?

- Yes.
- It's Luke Tatum.

I went to high school
with, uh, Abby and Kevin.

Oh, Luke. Yes, how are
you? Good to see you.

- Yeah.
- It's been a while, huh?

Yes, it has.

- I'm not disturbing you?
- No. This is my brother, Thomas.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Um, I'll leave you to it, Mick.

But we need to discuss those
Hampton numbers sometime soon.

Okay.

- Nice meeting you.
- Same here.

So Kevin tells me
you moved back home.

- Yes, sir.
- Your parents were good people.

I remember your father cheering
at your basketball games

and your track meets.

Yeah, he was very supportive.

Yes, he was.

Wow, nice, uh,
place you have here.

Thank you. I hear
you're looking for work.

Yes, sir. I am.

Well, it could be good timing. I
definitely need help around here.

I can't promise much.

Just helping out, unloading
deliveries, sweeping up, and such.

- You might not be interested in that.
- It would interest me.

Good.

Now, what's...?

What's with your fuse box?

Oh, we just...

We did the whole new lighting
system over the stage.

Now we keep blowing fuses.

- Mind if I take a look?
- No. Help yourself.

Hm.

They have an undersized
breaker for the lighting grid.

- That's right.
- Yeah.

And your rectifiers

probably have it on half wave and,
uh, I think you need full wave.

You worked as an electrician?

No, just a little of
this, a little of that.

A jack of all trades,
but master of none.

- Story of my life.
- Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Listen, why don't you plan to start
tomorrow and we'll try this out.

- Thank you, sir.
- Mick.

Mick, it is.

- Welcome aboard.
- Thank you.

[upbeat music playing]

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You got a minute?
- Mm-hm.

Um...

- You spoke with Thomas earlier today?
- Yeah.

And, uh... you pitched him
the Baltimore property, right?

- I did.
- Well...

I know you meant well,

but I'd rather you talk to me
about these things first, okay?

Sure. Is there a problem?

Well, I don't wanna be in
business with my brother.

We're getting along so well
for the first time in years,

and I think we should keep our
business interests separate.

Of course, yeah.

But, hey, are you, uh...

Are you sure that's really
what's bothering you?

And it's not the Kincaid
or Dilpher thing?

Well, it's probably all three, and
maybe more Dilpher and Kincaid.

- Hey, Pops.
- Hm?

Need some ice cream?

- Do you?
- Always.

- Oh, yes. I would love some ice cream.
- [laughs]

All right.

- Two spoons?
- Mint chocolate chip.

Thank you, Ms. Neary.

Now that we've heard
from MacLeod Industries,

it's the plaintiff's turn.

Who are we hearing from today,
Ms. Nelson or Mr. O'Brien?

Thank you, Your Honor.

As I was sitting here,

listening to the distinguished
lawyers for the defendant,

I couldn't help but
feel sorry for them.

They wanted the case
dismissed. That didn't happen.

Now, as we prepare for trial,

all they can do is try and mock
and minimize the seriousness

of this class action.

Ms. Neary said the female
plaintiffs in this case

are "never satisfied" and
"playing the victim card."

That could not be
further from the truth.

Eleanor Holmes Norton, who
sued Newsweek Magazine in 1970

because women were not allowed to be
reporters, was told the same thing.

Very interesting, Mr. O'Brien,
but get to the point.

The point I'm
making, Your Honor,

is that this is what women are
always told when they want equality.

Like in the Newsweek case,

they were forced to a subsidiary
role simply because of their sex.

It's the same with
MacLeod Industries.

Yes, in general,
men are stronger.

Men can lift more than women,

but at MacLeod, most of
the men use a forklift.

And every female who applied
for forklift training

was not allowed to pursue
it. And, let's be honest,

the forklift is the
equalizer here, is it not?

This isn't just about
equal pay for equal work.

This is about females
being denied the chance

to become higher-paid
forklift operators at MacLeod.

To quote the 1970 Newsweek case,

"Simply because of their sex."

Well, he is officially
five minutes late.

Guys like that are always
late. It's a power play.

I know. Their time is
more important than ours.

Hey, there you are. I
didn't mind waiting.

I like getting to appointments
half hour early. Saves time.

- Hello, Mick.
- Hey, Larry.

I had Larry here show me
around. I hope you don't mind.

It's really impressive.

- You do good work, Mick, Abby.
- Well, thank you.

- I've done this a few times.
- Of course. Shame on me.

I'm sorry. What are
you standing on?

Oh, this, it's a hoverboard.

I'm thinking of investing in
them, so thought I'd try it out.

It's kind of fun.

What do you think
about the pipes?

- Is it a problem?
- We don't know yet.

We have soil specialists
coming down from D.C.

Yeah. I don't think
it'll be a problem.

This place is beautiful.

The town, the whole region.

- Why didn't I know about it?
- It's a well-kept secret.

It shouldn't be.

I've lost interest.

- What?
- In the hoverboard. It's just a toy.

- You want it?
- Uh, sure.

Uh, so the soil contamination
may not be a serious issue.

That's what I said.

But it might be a serious issue.

Okay. I know the governor,
so we could do a work-around.

Unless the soil is contaminated.

I'm confused. Are you trying to talk
me into doing the project or not?

I'm just stating the facts.

Wow. Facts.

- Amazing concept, right?
- Straight shooter.

- That's how I was raised.
- Good job.

I had very little to do with
it. She came out that way.

I'll tell you what, Abby. I'll
hang out for a couple days.

Wait to see what they say and
just get to know the place.

- It's a nice place.
- It is.

It reminds me of the
West Coast of Ireland.

- [Mick] Have you been there?
- Yeah, I have a place.

- Of course he does.
- Hey, is the fishing good here?

- The best.
- Oh, really?

I've never gone fishing.
Oh, I have to try it.

- So are we done here?
- Yeah, I think so. Don't you?

We can give you a ride back.

- That's okay. I have a car.
- Where?

Oh, it's nearby.

Mandrake, I'm ready.

Okay. Be seeing you.

The rich are different.

He certainly is.

[speaking indistinctly]

Great. Thank you so much.

- Hello, Keller.
- Hello, O'Brien.

- Still feeling flushed from your victory?
- Kind of.

Keep an eye out for the sharks.

- Well, aren't I a shark now?
- That remains to be seen.

You do have sharp teeth, but something
about you seems more dolphin-esque.

- Thank you, I think.
- You're welcome, I think.

- Bye.
- Bye.

[pensive music playing]

- So memoir writing?
- Mm-hm.

I like it. The students
are gonna love it.

Good. Write what you know.
Write what you are. Three texts.

- The Confessions by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
- Mm-hm.

Personal Memoirs
of Ulysses S. Grant

and The Autobiography of Alice
B. Toklas by Gertrude Stein.

- I've definitely read one of those.
- Oh, you should read all of them.

I will.

And then I'll move them
into fictionalizing.

- Like you did with your book?
- Yeah.

Can I ask you a question?

The character Mark
Davies, was he...?

You?

Yeah.

He was, um, an amalgamation.

Hm.

- So that's another way of saying yes.
- Yeah.

I needed a villain
for Chapter 10.

Huh. Well, I'm glad
I could oblige.

How did you get into academia? I
figured you'd go into politics.

What's more political than
college administration?

Really, what happened?

Well, um, when I came
here as a student,

I had every intention of going to
law school and running for office,

but I read The Great Gatsby.

And it opened my eyes, and I kept
on reading and I guess I changed.

Yeah.

You're not at all who I
thought you were gonna become.

- I think you meant that as a compliment.
- Oh, yes. No, I do.

Yeah.

- How many miles did you bike?
- [Megan] A little over five.

- Oh, that's great.
- Yeah, tell that to my hamstrings.

I rode by what I think is
Arthur Driscoll's house.

- Oh, yeah?
- Turns out Nell knows him.

They used to summer here and Nell
used to be friendly with his wife.

When she died, she lost touch.

If you think that's his
house why don't you just go?

Easier said than done. I called
him and he hung up on me.

Be persistent. If you'd quit after a mile,
you never would have made it to five.

- You're a good trainer.
- Yeah.

Perfect.

See you at the
triathlon, darling.

- I'll send you the bill.
- [bicycle bell chimes]

- Hello, who is this?
- It's Evan.

Oh, uh, it says Mandrake.

He's my driver. My phone's
out. I wanted to say goodbye.

You're leaving?

Yeah, I'm gonna play
golf then head out.

- What about the soil test?
- Oh, I've decided not to build.

Don't wanna mess with OSHA. We'll
find another place for a hotel.

- Bye.
- No. Wait, you can't do that.

- Hello.
- Whoa, hey.

- Sorry.
- It's okay.

But you know you could
be written up for WWP.

- What?
- It's walking while phoning.

- Oh, yeah. I hate when people do that.
- Yeah.

Abby, what's wrong?

Nothing, just everything.
This crazy person.

Hey, come here.

- What?
- Breathe.

- Okay.
- All right?

- Yeah.
- Now close your eyes.

Come on, close your eyes.

Now count to five.

One, two, three

[sighs] four

five.

Now open your eyes.

What do you see?

- You.
- Yeah, you do. But what else?

- Sally's.
- Mm-hm.

Now what do you smell?

- Cornbread.
- Oh, yeah.

Smells good, right?

- Mm-hm.
- You feel better?

- I do.
- Well, let's see about that.

Oh, yes. Much better.

It's nice to see you.

You too, Jay.

- You got a sec?
- For you? Yes, what do you need?

Is Paul Dilpher a client here?

He is now.

I should have been informed.

Why?

My connections?

Are we supposed to run every
client past junior associates?

Paul Dilpher is in
serious legal trouble.

- Which is why he needs a lawyer.
- Linda, my family is involved.

Dilpher is blaming my father.
I know you know all this.

- Do I?
- Isn't this a conflict of interest?

Connor, we have over 150
lawyers in this firm.

You don't think there's ever
a conflict with any of them?

- Well, I suppose...
- So, what do we do?

We build an impermeable firewall
around the lawyer in question.

- That would be me?
- That's right.

You won't be near his case.
And it won't be near you.

Okay. I appreciate that.

We don't want you distracted.
Just focus on the MacLeod case.

We were very impressed with how
well you handled Judge Martinez.

Kudos.

[pensive music playing]

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Kevin, do you have a minute?
- Yeah. What's up?

Well, I'm preparing to teach this
creative writing course and...

Yeah, I know. You,
a teacher, right?

No. Sorry, I... No disrespect.

You're gonna be a great teacher.
You're my little sister.

- I saw you eat mud.
- You gave it to me.

- Just because Abby told me to.
- Can you be an objective audience?

- Yes.
- Okay, great.

Because I've done book signings,
book readings, but this?

This is teaching college students. Who
is more judgmental than college kids?

- You've never been in the Army.
- Can I practice my introduction?

Yeah.

Okay.

Hello, class.

- I'm Bree O'Brien... You're right.
- [snoring]

- I'm quitting. I'm so boring.
- Come back. Just kidding.

You have to grab
their attention, okay?

Shout. Jump up on a desk.

- It's not Dead Poets Society.
- But it could be.

- Okay.
- All right. Go on.

I was gonna start like
this. [clears throat]

"Close the door."

Write as if no one's
looking over your shoulder.

Don't try to figure out what other
people want to hear from you,

figure out what it is
that you have to say.

"That is the one and only
thing you have to offer."

Barbara Kingsolver said that.

Bree, that was excellent.

- Really?
- Yeah. You totally hooked me.

Thank you.

Whoo! Okay.

- I owe you.
- Yeah?

- Mm-hm.
- Buy me lunch?

Sure.

Yeah. I know a café
that serves great mud.

Yum.

[upbeat music playing]

- Yes?
- Mr. Driscoll?

- I don't wanna bother you...
- Too late.

Well, I'm the woman who called
you about one of your paintings,

and I was just hoping that...

Can you confirm that
you painted this?

I'm sorry to say I did.

It's beautiful.

How much did you pay for it?

- Eight dollars.
- You paid too much.

[country music
playing over speakers]

Excuse me. I'll be right back.

Hey, Luke, uh, did the
plumbers confirm yet?

Oh, no need. I was able
to clear the main sink.

- Oh, great.
- Hey. Um...

Do you mind if I speak to you?

Yeah, sure.

- Kevin, watch the bar, will you?
- Yeah.

So, Mick, uh, you know I really
appreciate you giving me this job.

But, uh...

I haven't been totally
straight with you.

No?

No. I...

I made some mistakes in my past.

They're all behind me, but I'm
still making amends, so to speak.

Okay.

But if I'm to work at The Bridge,
you're gonna have to sign some forms.

What kind of forms?

Just that I work here, you're my
employer. No big deal. Really.

But I didn't do it at my last
job, and it became a thing, and...

I got fired.

I'm listening.

I have a parole officer, and I have
to check in with him once a month.

A parole officer?

Wow.

Look, if it's a
problem, it's cool.

I get it. You know,
I'm used to it.

Oh, God.

Maybe this is just a really big
mistake. I'm sorry. I don't mean to...

Luke.

Luke!

Hey, Luke! Listen!

Listen, you can't drop a bomb
like that and expect no reaction.

Look, I understand.

- You have every right to be angry.
- I'm not angry, I'm confused.

I work in construction, I've
worked with ex-convicts before.

Some of the best men
I know have done time.

But you've gotta
be honest with me.

Will you stop running
away and talk to me.

Just tell me what happened.

Okay.

I was supposed to go to college.
I was gonna be a doctor.

My dad died of a heart attack.

And my mom,

she broke.

Someone had to take care of her,
so I got a job in a warehouse.

I'm sorry about your mom.

I let it get to me.

And I...

I started drinking

too much.

Pretty much the
end of the story.

Yeah, except for the
going to prison part.

Yeah. Well...

Look, when my mother passed away

things really started
getting out of control.

I was at a bar, drinking.

This guy, he was just
all up on the waitress.

I told him to...
Told him to back off.

I used harsher
language than that.

Anyways, he, uh, slugged me.

And I slugged him back.

Felt like the right thing to do.

He, uh, fell back and he hit his
head on the corner of the bar.

He almost died.

Lucky for you he didn't.

It would have been
manslaughter or murder.

But I got three years
for assault and battery,

and one year off
for good behavior.

End of story.

Okay.

Now I know.

Listen, Luke, you come
in here, you do your job,

and you and I are gonna figure
this out together, okay?

- You mean that?
- I do.

I sincerely do.

[soft music playing]

Now, I believe, uh... you have
a shift to finish, don't you?

Yeah.

Hey!

- Yeah?
- Don't forget your keys.

- And there you are.
- Hey.

- Care to play through?
- No.

Uh, I spoke with Mandrake, and he said you
were golfing, but wouldn't tell me where.

- This was the last place I could think of.
- Smart of you.

I prefer putt-putt. It's quicker and
the hazards are more entertaining.

- You like being the eccentric millionaire?
- Billionaire.

And I was just as
eccentric when I was poor.

- But then people found me annoying.
- Can't imagine why.

Look, are you pulling
out of this deal?

- Why shouldn't I?
- I can give you a hundred reasons.

I only have time for one.

Okay. You're starting your hotel
chain, and this would be your keystone.

Close to D.C., close to Baltimore,
and the coastline is beautiful.

Yeah. It is nice.
But the pipes...

Can be dealt with. I
spoke with my soil expert.

The contamination is minimal.
They can dig it out, replace it.

- The cost is...
- Hundred thousand?

- Less than that.
- Huh. And you think I should do it?

I think it would be smart.

I'll tell you what.

If I sink this putt,
I'll think it over.

This is how you make
your big decisions?

It's how I'm gonna
make this one.

What do you know? I will
think it over, Abby.

- Thank you, Mr. Kincaid.
- Evan.

I don't do first names.
It's too complicated.

I'm telling you, Abby was dead-on
about this Baltimore property.

You should make her a partner.

If we get the numbers right,
that lot could be good for you.

Mm-hm.

But I can't believe you don't
like Lowery as the architect.

I can't believe you do.
His designs are terrible.

When we worked on that
medical center in Charlotte,

he was an exquisite
pain in the neck.

- Takes one to know one.
- Nonetheless.

- What are you doing?
- Just going through old photo albums.

Trying to find some childhood pics of
Jess that we can use for her wedding.

- [Abby] Embarrassing ones, we hope.
- [Megan] You hope.

Speaking of embarrassing,

would you like to see your
father and uncle as teenagers?

Uh, yes.

Dad, that mullet!

Can't believe I thought
those sideburns looked good.

- My mustache was awesome.
- Not even a little bit.

Are you kidding?
I was rocking it.

- [Megan] Look at this.
- [Thomas] Oh, man.

That's the two of us on
the Appalachian Trail.

- Mick, you remember that?
- Of course. '67.

Who could forget?
Best trip we ever had.

I agree. It was
a fantastic hike.

We had so much fun.

Just us and the wilderness.

I bet you couldn't hike ten
miles of that trail today.

What? Of course we could.

Ten miles? We could do the
whole thing. No problem.

Hm! I'd like to see you try.

Why not? Yeah, it's a good idea.

- You up for that, Mick?
- Sure, if you don't slow me down.

Slow you down? You were
the one with the sore feet.

[Mick] You got the shin splints.

Oh, okay. Okay, let's do
this. For the weekend.

And we can hash out the details
of the project as we hike.

- You still got any camping gear?
- Maybe. I quit camping after that trip.

- [Thomas laughs]
- Let's go look.

- Nice work there, Mom.
- Yep.

Your dad needs to take
some time off from work.

This will either bring the
brothers closer together...

Or they'll kill each other.

- Mm. Time will tell.
- [Abby chuckles]

Oh, honey. Look at this one.

Oh, no, that perm.

- [cell phone chimes]
- Oh! I loved it!

- Don't show that to anyone ever.
- You're poofy but you're cute.

- Who's that?
- Evan Kincaid.

- Really? What's he want?
- He said he's outside.

What?

- Hello.
- Hey!

I wanted to tell you in person.

I've decided to go
ahead with the build.

Good. That's good.

- On one condition.
- What's that?

I want you to ride
point on the project.

Uh, well

uh, you know, my dad is really the one
who does the construction side of things.

That's true.

But you have a quality that
I value more than that.

What is that?

You don't like me.

- Pardon?
- You won't tell me what I wanna hear.

You'll give me the facts. You don't know
how rare that is in my line of work.

- Your line of work?
- Being a billionaire. It's exhausting.

Everybody wants me to like them because
they wanna get something from me.

- Well, I don't think that is true.
- See? You don't like me.

And I don't
particularly like you.

We won't worry about offending each
other because we're already offended.

It's the perfect
working relationship.

Yeah, you know, somehow
that makes sense.

Doesn't it?

All right. Well, then,
good night, Mr. Kincaid.

I would invite you in,
but I don't want to.

This is gonna be great.

[pensive music playing]

[theme music playing]

[narrator] Next on
Chesapeake Shores:

The Snallygaster, the mythical
beast of the Maryland woods.

[Jess] Did you hear that?

I don't think it was
down this steep a hill.

We can make it. Down there.

Tommy!

You might not wanna leave any
documents overnight for anyone to see.

Look at the signature. Dad couldn't
have signed this. He was in Florida.

Chili is served.

Did he use this instead of salt?

If you don't tell them, it's
a violation of your parole.

Understood, sir.
