Narrator: The sleepy little
town of santa annabel

Is far from the bright lights
and fast living

Of the playground
that is pacific hills.

But that doesn't mean
it doesn't have a part to play

In the drama about to unfold.

Narrator: The jones family.

The closest thing
pacific hills has to royalty.

Those that know them
envy them,

Those that work for them
fear them,

And those that cross them,

Well, they rue the day
they were ever born.

Long live the queens.

Robin jones is the matriarch.

Or step-matriarch,
as she's painfully reminded.

She's the second wife
of theodore jones,

The girls' late father
and a pioneering billionaire.

Theodore was generous
to his daughters,

But he made sure the bulk
of his money and estate,

Not to mention
control of his company,

Went to robin.

And as you can imagine,

This didn't cause
any resentment.

Pam jones is the oldest,

Her father's daughter
through and through.

Pam is now the cfo
of jones enterprises,

One letter away
from where she'd like to be.

Theodore jones made his fortune
in real estate.

And although developing
commercial properties

Is still the company's
bread and butter,

They've certainly diversified
in the past decade,

Taking advantage
of their name's cachet.

Carrie jones handles the
family's charitable endeavors,

Which are just as vast
as their commercial interests.

And it sounds crazy, I know,

But she might actually care
about philanthropy.

Then there's kayla jones.

She-- well, let's just say

She's fortunate her sisters
do the heavy lifting.

Still, no one ever said

She didn't know
how to have a good time.

Oh, I almost forgot tara jones,
the baby,

Who proves the adage
that devilish things

Come in small packages.

Narrator: Pacific hills'
most enviable family

Is at a crossroads.

They're about to undertake
the largest business venture

In their history.

Meanwhile, pam is still unsure

Whether her daughter
is really hers,

Kayla doesn't know
her perfect suitor

Is in cahoots
with her ex-fiancé,

And no one has any idea

That robin's
dearly departed husband,

Webb deveraux,

Is back from the dead.

It's good to be a jones.

So apparently we are not even
on motherearth's radar.

Wow. How tragic.

After everything
we've done for her.

It's not funny, kayla.

You wanna tell me what the hell
you're talking about?

Motherearth, one word,

They're a radical
environmental group.

Some think of them as heroes.
Others, terrorists.

And why do we care?

Well, we care because we were
under the impression

That they were the ones
who tried to sabotage the site.

Wait, they weren't?

And how do you
know this, pam?

Stephen told me.

Tara: And how does he know?

He's very... Well connected.

Then who was it?

That's what we have to find out.

Well, it's not a group that
wants publicity. That's obvious.

Otherwise, they wouldn't
have bothered

With the whole
motherearth charade.

Stephen suggested that we
try to think of anybody

Who would want to hurt
the family--

You know, our brand,
our business, etcetera--

And then we work from there.

Jeez, take a number.
[laughs]

Well, does anyone have
any immediate ideas? Hmm?

Well, there are a lot of people
who would love to see us fail.

Yes, but I mean, enough to
actually do anything about it?

You know, maybe whoever it is,

Might not have a score to settle
with you.

The jones family, that is.

What do you mean, lance?

They could just as easily
be targeting my father.

I hate to break it to you,
lance, but your father's dead.

Technically, he's missing.
Look, it was just a thought.

Look, bottom line is,
since none of us know who it is,

We all need to just
keep our guard up.

Carrie's right.

And even if it's not this
earth-whatever group,

Isn't it still possible that
someone wants to target stephen?

I'm sure that family has made
plenty of enemies of their own.

I mean, it's possible,
but it's highly unlikely.

If somebody wanted to target
napoli construction,

There are far more
high-profile sites than ours,

Including their headquarters.

And on top of that,
stephen pointed out

There wasn't even anything
at our site really to destroy.

So will he beef up security
at the site?

He was going to anyway,
as things went on,

But this has him
expediting it,

So starting this evening,

There will be an armed guard
on the premises 24/7.

Good.

Oh, I have an appointment.

So, um, if any of you think
of anyone or anything,

Then just call me,
like right away, okay?

And keep your eyes and ears open
for anything funny.

Um, like what?

I don't know, carrie,

Like anything that doesn't
feel right.

We can't afford
to be too careful.

Well, where are you
heading off to?

Sheldon's.

- Oh, to see your daughter.
- She has a name, tara.

Is there any update
with that?

As soon as I
know something, robin,

You will too.

Okay.

Hey! Your assistant said
I could come on back.

Yeah, of course, of course.
Come on in. Sit down.

You want something to drink?

Coffee, tea,
or something stronger?

Uh, not yet.

Why don't you just
tell me what you found?

Okay.

Pam, how much do you actually
know about your daughter?

Well, I know that I gave birth
to her, that's for sure,

And then other than that, I...

Well, the adoption was designed
to minimize what anyone knew.

Before eve appeared,

If you had asked me
if I could find her,

I wouldn't have been able to.

Okay, let me ask you
something, sheldon.

Do you believe that my father

Really never told robin
about this?

Absolutely.

Your father loved robin
very much,

But there are some things
a man like him

That he keeps to himself.

So stateside, it's just
the two of us who knew.

Yes. And now eve.

So tell me what you found.

After the child was born,

Your father did
what he had to do,

But it wasn't as easy
as you might think.

Your child was a jones,
and that meant something to him.

But he never would have
let me keep her.

I mean, even if I'd wanted to.

No, of course not.

You were a kid,
for all intents and purposes.

Even then,
he had big plans for you.

But he wanted the child
to be cared for.

Very well cared for.

Sounds like dad.

You think he's going to drop the
kid off in a public orphanage,

Like with the sisters of mercy
or something like that?

Luckily, he had friends
in England.

Very powerful friends
just like he has here.

Who?

Clifton prescott.

He's a wealthy financier.

He married
a bahamian diplomat's daughter.

She couldn't conceive, but they
desperately wanted a baby.

Sounds perfect.

It was, by all accounts.

Your father received assurances

That the child
would want for nothing.

She would be raised
in privilege,

Attend the finest schools,
grow up in high society.

But that's not what happened?

No, that's exactly
what happened.

But you have to understand.

Once your father approved
of the adoption, that was it.

What's done is done.

He never wanted to know anything
about her after that?

No.

None of us did.

And I can't corroborate this,

But I don't think your daughter
even knew she was adopted.

The prescotts,

They died in an automobile
accident in the pyrenees.

And after that, we--
we lost track of her.

So how did she find out?

That's what I'm concerned about.

Ah, yeah, maybe it's something
totally innocuous.

- Like what?
- Like her parents are dead,

And she's a young woman
coming into her own,

And she's curious
about her history,

- About where she comes from.
- Okay, perhaps.

But she's been off our radar for
so long, it makes me nervous.

It might be prudent
for me to meet with her

And have
a little conversation.

I can do that.

No, I would advise strongly
against that.

Why?

Emotional entanglement.

What are you saying, that I
couldn't possibly be objective?

Not if she's really
your daughter, no.

Okay. Meet with her and
find out everything you can,

But I decide
how we handle her.

Of course.

Thank you, sheldon.

Sheldon: Miss prescott,
you must understand

That it's not a matter of
miss jones not trusting you,

But a woman in her position
needs to be sure.

I understand.

So maybe if you tell me
a little bit more

About how you decided
to reach out at this time,

It would make more sense.

I've already told you,
and I've already told my mother.

I just wanted to meet her.

Surely that's not
out of the ordinary,

The desire to meet
your birth mother.

No, not at all.

But this is
a different situation.

- Pardon me, mister...
- Sheldon's fine.

Pardon me, sheldon.

Let's not play games.
If you're the family's lawyer,

Then surely
you're more than competent.

What you're really asking me
is if I want money, isn't it?

Among other things.

Well, the answer's no.
I have plenty of money.

My parents were rather
well to do,

As you know
as well as anyone.

Well, that's very reassuring,
miss prescott,

But there are other things
to be considered.

So you need proof.

Yes.

A dna test will suffice,
I assume?

Unless you can think
of something better.

Not at the moment.

And how are we gonna
be sure that the dna...

Is really mine?

You really are suspicious,
aren't you?

Not suspicious, just careful.

Good. I wouldn't have it
any other way.

Six to eight strands
from the root, please.

Here.

I'm not going to sit here
and pick out my hair

Like some mental patient.

You're not leaving
this bar, miss prescott.

Okay, then, mr. Lawyer,
what do you suggest?

Here you are.

Thank you.
But you do understand.

It's not a matter of trust.

- We just need to make sure.
- We're past it.

How long?

Two to three days.
I'll have it expedited.

Is that good for you?

Makes no difference to me.

I already know
what it's going to say.

I'll get back to you.

Mr. Forest?

Please, call me cam.

Robin. Robin jones.

My condolences
on the loss of your husband.

I appreciate that.

Please have a seat.

Thank you.

Been here before?

No, never.

It's decent,
especially if you're not trying

To leave the marina
for too long,

Which most boat owners aren't.

You know,
we're a strange breed.

Once you get us on the water,

You practically have to drag us
back to dry land.

Um, should we order?

I don't know exactly
how long I'm gonna stay, cam,

So if you don't mind,

Would you tell me
what this is all about?

You told me you had information
about my husband's death.

Yes. Yes, that's true.

Well, what is it?

Well, like I said,

We're a strange breed,
an obsessive breed.

And many of these owners,

Well, they love their boats
more than their children.

Certainly more than their wives,

Almost as much as themselves.

What does that have to do
with my husband's death?

Well, many of these boat owners,

They have their own
security system on board.

I have my own security cameras,

But they don't just
cover the boat.

They cover the docks,

The other slips,
the other boats.

You see what I'm getting at,
mrs. Jones?

I believe I do.

These cameras, wow.

Well, they're running 24/7,
of course.

So if something
were to happen,

Something
of great importance...

If that's all true,
why not go to the police?

I considered it, of course.

What would be the benefit?

- The benefit?
- Who would it help?

Not your husband.
He's already gone.

Not me. I get nothing more
than a pat on the back

For doing my civic duty.

And certainly not you.

Go on.

But meeting here
like civilized people,

Discussing what can be done,

Well, that helps everybody.

Cam, if you don't tell me
exactly what you want right now,

I'm going to leave.

Well, the question isn't
what I want.

The question is,
how much is it worth to you?

How much what is worth?

Your freedom.

Hello. May get you two started
with some drinks?

You guys killed it today.
Fantastic.

We can call it.
I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you. Good night.

- We need to talk.
- Okay.

- Somewhere private.
- I'll close the door.

No, no, no.
Really private.

My office.

Come on.
We need to get out of here.

Now.

Okay, so what is going on that
you couldn't even talk to me

In the inner sanctum
of our office?

I just had lunch
with cam forest.

- Huh?
- It doesn't matter.

Cam forest owns the boat
next to webb in the marina.

He saw what happened, pam.

He has security cameras
that caught everything.

Everything.

- Oh, my god.
- Yeah, I know.

Okay, well, I mean, is there
any way he could be bluffing?

Okay, okay, uh,
let's think it through.

Um, well, it's a good thing
that he came to you

Instead of going
to the police.

Means that he wants
something, right?

So did he tell you
what it is?

All he said is that
he wouldn't be unreasonable,

That he would be in touch.

I don't like
the sound of that.

If it was straight blackmail,

Then it'd just be
a money play.

Oh, pam, it's gonna be
about money. Trust me.

Always comes down to money.

Yeah, but then why a delay?
Why the games?

Maybe he wants to see
how I would react?

After all, he doesn't have
to rush anything.

He can take his sweet
little time, wait it out.

Hmm. You know, robin,

There is something that we've
never explicitly discussed.

What?

What exactly happened
on that boat.

I mean, if there were
security cameras,

What exactly did they capture?

What do you think?

It doesn't matter what I think,

Or what anybody else thinks.

It matters
what's on the tape, so...

Well, in that case,
I don't have any choice.

I'm going to have to pay him
whatever he asks,

Whenever he asks.

Mm, you always have
another choice.

Let me talk to stephen.

Stephen?

I'm not gonna tell him
anything more

Than he needs to know, okay?

- But what can he do?
- I'm not sure, exactly,

But I do know that he's
got some experience

With situations like this,

So it can't hurt
to seek his counsel.

As long as it doesn't
come back to bite us.

No, I know, I know,

But we're already in
kind of a tight spot here.

Agreed.

Try not to worry, okay?

I'm gonna handle this.

And remember, it's a good thing
that he wants something

'cause it means
he's willing to negotiate.

Just think, he could've
gone to the press.

Oh, god forbid.

Narrator: If the first rule
of business

Is to stay in business,

Then the second must be

Don't mix business
with pleasure.

It looks increasingly likely,
however,

That pam didn't get the memo.

Thank you for meeting me
on such short notice.

Of course.
I was intrigued though,

Since you wouldn't tell me what
it was about over the phone.

Well, I have just discovered

Some very interesting
information.

Okay.

Let me back up.

Okay, as you know,
webb fell overboard,

And the police determined

That he must have struck his
head on something and drowned.

Sounds reasonable.

Well, that may not be...

Exactly what happened.

Now, miss jones,

I'm shocked
to hear you say that.

[laughs]

Anyway, it turns out
that what really happened

Might have been recorded
on a security camera.

Oh, well, that's not good.

No, no, it's not.

How can I help?

Do you know a cam forest?

He's late 40s, hair...

I don't think so.
Should I?

Probably not, but
the security camera in question

Might have been on his boat.

Don't take this
the wrong way, pam,

But what do you need me for?

You know how to handle it.

I do, but this might be
one of those rare instances

Where it is better to use
the carrot than the stick,

And we want to tread
very lightly.

I understand.

So before we decided
how to proceed,

I was hoping
that you could find out

Whatever you can
about this man.

I'd be happy to, pam,
but again, what--

I-- the fewer people who know,
the better, okay?

I want to keep this
very down low.

- Do you think this--
- cam forest.

Cam forest could be responsible
for sabotaging the site?

I mean, I can't imagine what
he'd possibly get out of it,

But at this point,
anything is possible.

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you, stephen.

I knew I could count on you.

You can.

[phone ringing]

Uh, I gotta take this.

Yeah.

[ringing continues]

Yeah?

Hey, remember this name:
Cam forest.

- He's local.
- Got it.

Find out what you can
and get back to me.

Will do.

Narrator: Even blackmail,
such a messy business,

Can't put a damper
on such a festive occasion.

I'd like to make a toast...

To lance.

To me? For what?

Your idea about using
our water to broker land deals

Has been a huge success.

Much more so than our most
optimistic projections.

Is something wrong?

Lance, what is it?

Leo patricia
cornered me the other day.

- What did he want?
- He said he knew all about

- The deals we were making.
- How could he?

Nobody went to the press,

And all parties
signed nondisclosures.

When water is involved,

There's some epa filings
that the county needs to--

I checked it out.
It made sense.

These filings
aren't hard to find

When you know
what you're looking for.

Okay, so leo wants money.

Everybody's
got their hands out.

No, not literally.
Not payouts.

He wants information--
our information--

So he can bet on
water prices.

Great, so he's moving
from petty bribes

To securities manipulation.
Go, leo.

Wait, why do we have
to tell him anything?

Nothing we're doing
is illegal.

Look, with these deals,
there's a lot of red tape--

Permits, taxes, building fees.

He probably can't stop
construction on his own,

But he definitely can
make it painful for us.

Yeah, well, now we can tell him
where to shove it.

Not necessarily.

Why not? We don't need
some two-bit politician

Telling us what to do.

Okay, other people
other than us

Are gonna be making money
off these water deals.

- Yes?
- Of course.

Then what's the harm
in letting leo get his beak wet?

We keep him happy,
we keep him close.

I just don't like that
he's dictating terms to us.

It's a small concession, tara.

- Well, I still don't like it.
- Of course you don't.

But you have to accept it.

Know that
we're playing the game.

Lance, if leo asks you
for anything else,

- You keep us in the loop.
- Mm-hmm.

Okay, let's toast.

To lance.

Carter: That was excellent.

The food and the company.

But something's wrong.

I can't stop thinking
about my ex.

I get it. I was in
a long-term relationship too.

Carter, no,
that's not what I mean.

I don't miss him.

I loathe him.

I just mean...

I don't know what I mean.

Look, kayla, I know
he did a number on you.

Trust me, I understand that.

But I'm not him,

And you can't punish me
for his mistakes.

No, I'm not punishing you.

I just...

I... Oh, god.

How do I say this
without sounding crazy?

I feel like
he's still around me.

Literally?

Look, I'm gonna run
to the restroom.

We can talk about this more
when I'm back, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

[rooster crows]

[glass shatters]

So do we know
when he'll get here?

He should've been here by now.

Oh, hi.

Well, don't keep us
in suspense.

She's your daughter.

Okay.

You're sure?
You're 100% sure?

99.99% sure.

That's the accuracy
of a dna test.

There's no way
she could've faked this.

So I have a daughter.

- Have you told her yet?
- Of course not.

I got the results,
and I came straight here.

So what now, sheldon?

That's up to you.

You have to decide how much
or how little of a relationship

You want to have
with your daughter.

I'll be here if you need
counsel, of course.

Um, does she have claim
to anything?

Sheldon: Anything?

Any family money, property,

Securities, anything?

Sheldon: I don't believe so.

Precedent is that a child
who was put up for adoption

Has no legal claim to the
biological family's estate.

Of course,
she could try and sue.

Anyone can sue.

The question is,
can she win?

Probably not,

But would the press
be worth the headache?

And of course,
she could win.

In this day and age,
you never know.

She could find
a sympathetic judge.

She's not oliver twist,
for god's sake.

She's a member
of the one percent.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean
that she doesn't find a judge

Who's going to fall
for a sympathy story

About the poor orphan girl
in the wealthy family.

Thank you, sheldon.

So what are the chances she
really doesn't want anything?

What do you mean by that,
carrie?

I mean the truth can be
the simplest answer.

What if this girl eve
really doesn't want anything?

No, she wants something.

Well, how can you be
so sure?

Because I would.

Not everyone is as conniving
as you, tara.

That may be true,
but most people are,

And we need
to prepare for it

Because if we don't,
she could hurt us...

Really bad.

Pam: That's enough, tara.

[bell tolling]

You don't have class today?

I need to talk to you.

Come during business hours.

Stop it.

What do you want, tara?

Like I said,
I need to talk to you.

Hmm. How convenient

'cause the last time
I tried to talk to you,

You threatened
to have me arrested.

But now I'm supposed to
just come whenever you beckon?

Don't be a petulant child, rich.
If I wanted to bury you,

All it takes is
one trip to an admin office.

And whatever I say,
trust me, it will stick.

Now shut up
and buy me a drink.

Why me?

Because you have no choice

And because
you'll be good at it.

I don't know
if that's a compliment.

It's not.

Okay, um, I don't
have a choice, do I?

Absolutely not.

Okay, don't look so upset.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Right.

So you'll give me
all her information.

Yes. I'll give you
everything.

I've been following her.

She's staying in a hotel,

She's a regular
at the canyon club,

And I'll even text you
photos of her.

You gonna tell me
what I'm supposed to say?

I'll tell you what I need.

How you get it
is completely up to you.

Okay.

So is this detente?

It's french. It means--

No, I know what it means.
I speak french.

No, it's not detente.

It's me needing something,

And it's in your best interest
to do it for me.

God, you drive a hard bargain.

You have no idea.

Stephen: You know
I don't like you coming here.

Relax. I wasn't followed.

Don't underestimate them, emma.

Trust me. Sean and his goons
couldn't tail a parade.

Besides,
I brought you a present.

Everything you ever wanted
to know about cam forest,

But were afraid to ask.

How?

You really wanna know
my methods?

Just want to make sure
it's accurate.

I obtained access to the marina
last night

To retrieve any records
that they had,

And then I asked my friends
in corporate security

To do some digging.

What'd they find?

It's all right in there.

I assure you, you have plenty
of light reading to do tonight.

You care for a drink?

Nope. Gotta get going.

But let's just say
that our mr. Forest

Is not who he seems.

Hey, cam! How you doing?

There was a break-in
at the marina offices.

Someone was looking
for information on me.

They're gonna discover that I,
in fact, do not own a boat.

Drink?

Sure.

I'm assuming scotch is fine.

Of course.

This is a little better than
what we drank in college, no?

[scoffs]
just a little.

[laughs]

There you go.

Now...

So you say someone's been
sniffing around about you?

I'd be far more worried
if they hadn't.

What do you want me
to do next, webb?

Get her to confess.

I need it recorded.

Why the hell would you
need a confession

If you already have
the whole thing on video?

You don't have any video,
do you?

You never did.

Guilty on all charges.

I don't understand.
Why lie to me?

Well, cam, you are a...
You're a decent liar.

Always have been, but you're not
nearly as strong an actor.

You needed me to believe it
so she'd believed it.

Bingo.

You'd be easy to hate, webb,

If I didn't admire you
so damn much.

[chuckles]
I'll take it.

All right, let's get started
on the next steps.

[doorbell rings]

Hello, mother.

This is excellent.
Thank you.

I assume you're probably more
of a tea drinker though, huh?

That's actually a myth.

The british, we drink
more coffee than anyone.

Only old farts drink tea.

People my parents' age.

Your parents, uh...

They're dead.

I know. I'm sorry.

They lived a good life.
A long life.

They were already older
when they adopted me.

You didn't know that?

You didn't know anything
about them at all?

Nothing. That was the way
it was supposed to go.

Yeah. No, I know.
I just figured...

Nothing goes exactly
as it's supposed to, does it?

Oh, god. Facts.

I guess what I want to say
is I'm sorry.

- For what?
- For giving you up.

Oh, please. What do you think
I would've preferred?

An unwed mother
who didn't really want me

Or a wealthy couple
who wanted kids so badly,

They spoiled their
only daughter terribly?

I'm sorry, I didn't--

I didn't mean
to hurt your feelings.

Sometimes I can be
a little too blunt.

Oh, no, no, it's fine.

It's actually
kind of refreshing.

Kinda reminds me of myself.
[chuckles]

Nature over nurture, huh?

[chuckles]

So, uh... So you've had
a good life, right?

I mean, things
worked out for you.

Me? Oh, yeah, for sure.
I really hit the jackpot.

Best boarding school,
summers on the continent,

Foreign vacations.

So if your life is
going so well,

I just have to ask why...

- Why did I reach out?
- Mm-hmm.

I don't know.

I... I guess
I just got curious.

And, um, how did you find me?

Just broad strokes.

I know it can't have been
very easy.

Let me ask you something.

If you found out
you were adopted,

And you wanted to know
who your mother was,

What would you do?

Anything I had to.

Exactly.

You're not disappointed,
are you?

Me? No, no, not at all.

You're a poor liar.

I-- I'm not disappointed.

It's, uh...

It's just
a really big surprise.

I understand. I really do.

Must have been
quite a shock for you.

Look, I won't bother you
anymore.

I... I just wanted to meet
my mother.

Eve, wait.

I am glad that you found me.
That's the truth, I swear.

And I... I want to get
to know you better.

I want to spend
more time together.

Then you know
how to find me.

Pam.

What is it, phoebe?

Stephen napoli is here.

In my office?

No. In the conference room.

I offered him a drink,
he said nothing,

And then he just,
he just went in there.

Okay. I'll handle it.

Well, why don't you just
make yourself at home?

I can't get over this view.
I didn't think you'd mind.

Oh, you didn't?

You're mad?

- Mm.
- I'm sorry.

But hey,
I did come bearing gifts.

Ooh. Now I like
the sound of that.

What have you got for me,
diamonds, pearls, precious gems?

- Information.
- Ooh!

- The currency of the future.
- Exactly.

So cam forest...

Does not own the boat
next to webb's.

In fact,
he doesn't own any boat.

He barely owns his home.

What do you mean?

I mean he's broke.

Wait, I--
okay, I don't understand.

What's there to understand?

He's a broke businessman.
They're a dime a dozen.

Makes sense why he tried
to blackmail you.

No-- I mean, yeah,

But how would he know
about the tape then?

Maybe he doesn't.

Or maybe it was
a lucky guess.

- Is that it?
- Nope. One more thing.

Although I'm certain
that cam doesn't own

The boat that he claimed,

Unfortunately
I can't tell you who does.

Wait, what do you mean?

Well, my guy hit
the marina's main office

And got photos of
all the necessary paperwork.

- Paperwork?
- Yeah.

Boat registrations,
things like that.

And?

And on the outside,
everything looks legit.

My guess it would probably even
pass a coast guard inspection.

But when you dig
a little deeper,

There's no information.

It's registered
to a front company.

Now, I could dig
a little bit deeper,

But it's bound
to arouse suspicion,

Probably the kind
you don't want.

No. Thank you, stephen.

I just have to figure out
how I want to handle this.

You know, pam,
I don't envy you.

You've got
a lot on your plate.

[chuckles]

Comes with the territory.

Well, maybe we should
change up that territory.

What do you have in mind?

I'll call you.

I'll answer.

[sighs]

Robin: So what does that mean?

Pam: Well, it means
one of two possible things:

Either this cam forest
is just a broke con artist

Who figures
he's got nothing to lose

By trying to blackmail us...

Or?

Or someone else
is pulling strings.

For what reason?

I can think
of multiple reasons:

Straight up cash
to throw us off balance,

To see how we react
under pressure

With this new endeavor to--

Hold up.

Are you saying that the same
people who sabotaged the site

Had something to do with this?

It's very possible.

Okay, what about eve?

How does eve fit in this?

I mean, eve? What--

Eve would have
no relationship to this.

Why would she have anything
to do with any of this?

I'm not saying she does,

But you have to admit
the timing is a little suspect.

I figure that was just a case
of when it rains, it pours.

Well, I'm not one who tends
to believe in coincidences,

And I didn't think
that you did either.

I'm not saying
it's a coincidence.

I'm just--

I'm saying that
when you are a jones,

There is always something
to deal with.

Ain't that the truth.

Look, I gotta get back
to the office.

I just wanted
to fill you in, okay?

Thanks, pam.
We'll talk soon.

Yeah.

Uh-huh. Well, that's gonna
depend on the interest rates.

Of course.

Yes.

Okay. I'll get back to you
later this afternoon. Great.

There's a man here to see you.
Felipe hernandez.

He doesn't have
an appointment.

He's wearing a cowboy hat.

Oh! Ooh, felipe, yeah.

Set him up in the conference
room, and I will be right in.

Hmm.

Felipe!
[chuckles]

How are things
in santa annabel?

Fine, thank you.

Oh, I wish you had told me
that you were coming down.

I would've made us
a reservation somewhere.

This meeting is going to be
very quick, I'm afraid.

Is something wrong?

Unfortunately.

I regret to inform you

That we will be
pulling out of our deal.

I don't understand.

To be truthful, I don't think
that I fully understand myself.

But a few weeks ago,
one of our ranchers reported

That some of his cattle had died
under mysterious circumstances.

Well, we tested his water supply
and found

That the stream running through
his property had been poisoned.

Arsenic.

Felipe, that's terrible.
I'm sorry that that happened,

But I don't understand what that
has to do with our deal.

We haven't even started
to build the infrastructure,

Let alone begun supplying
any water.

And I wouldn't have
thought anything...

Until we got the letter.

What letter?

About a week or so later,
I received a letter.

It cautioned us against
going into business with you

And warned us that if we did,

Our residents would end up
like the livestock.

[scoffs]

That's an idle threat.
I mean, no one can actually--

Not to the livestock.

Look, felipe,

I can assure you that safety
is our highest priority.

We will have security
on the premises to make sure

That no one can tamper
with the water supply, 24/7.

I'm sorry, but we have
made up our minds.

I just wanted to give you
the courtesy

Of telling you in person.

I could sue.
We have a contract.

You could, but what
would that accomplish?

We're still not gonna use
your water.

And if you're gonna try
to make similar deals,

I don't think the lawsuits
sound very enticing.

I wish you the best of luck,
miss pam jones.

Oh, son of a bitch!

I'm not saying I don't enjoy
our usual activities.

I'm not saying that at all.

I'm just saying it might be nice
to do something else

Every once in a while.

Like what?

Like... Take a trip?

Oh, uh, we could go
to noah's well,

Spend the day out there.

What's that?

Noah's well? Really?

I thought you
grew up around here.

It is a swimming hole about
20 minutes outside of the city.

Warm water year round.

Crystal clear. You can see
all the way to the bottom.

I don't know.
I'm not much for swimming.

Okay, we don't have to swim.
There's teenagers there anyway.

But they built a thriving
artist community,

So there are tons of galleries
and farm to table...

Kayla, what's wrong?

Kayla.

Huh?

What happened?
Where'd you go?

Um, I...
I thought I saw someone.

Who?

My ex-fiancé.

Has he tried to contact you?

No, no, he hasn't.

- So why would he be here?
- You know what?

It's obvious I didn't see him,
so let's just forget about it.

I don't want to ruin
a good night.

Already forgotten.

Good.

Now, about noah's ark.

- Noah's well.
- Right.

Look, you're the one
that's saying

We spend too much time
in the bedroom, so...

- I know.
- It'll be great.

We'll get outdoors.
I promise you,

We do not have
to go swimming at all, okay?

We can just walk around town,
shop at some of the boutiques.

You're gonna love it.

- How is everything, sir?
- Fine, thank you.

Ma'am?

Kayla.

Kayla, what's wrong?

Okay, deep breaths.
Nice and slow. Calm down, okay?

Good, good.

How do you feel?

- [panting]
- okay?

That was him, carter.

I swear to god. That was--
that was really him.

No, kayla, that was
the restaurant manager.

You don't think I would
notice my former fiancé?

Kayla, I saw him too, okay,
for half a second,

And I couldn't make out
who it was.

But listen, the mind
can play tricks on you.

I know what I saw, damn it!

- [panting]
- okay, okay, just calm down.

That was really him.
I-- he's back.

I know what I saw, okay, carter?
He's really back.

I'm not just imagining it!

Okay, I hear you, I hear you.

What can I do?

- Just take me home, please.
- Okay, let's go.

You know,
this cloak and dagger,

It really isn't necessary.

I wouldn't go that far,

But it's not good for either
of us to be seen together.

So... What do you have for me?

Do you know cobalt lake?

In the central valley, sure.

It's contaminated.

Contaminated?

Yes. Acid rain.

What do I care?

Because that lake
provides drinking water

To 2.5 million households.

Can't they decontaminate it?

They already started,
but it takes time.

What kind of time?

Where are these peeps gonna get
their water in the meantime?

What do you care?

I'm not buying stock
in that company.

No, but you're shorting
deep blue, inc.,

The parent company who manages
the water of cobalt lake.

How much are we talking about?

Enough.

Hey, I--

Excuse me. I know you.

You're going to have to come up
with something better than that

If you expect it to work.

Oh, no, I am so serious.

I know you from somewhere.

Yeah, I don't think so.
I just got into town.

What's your name?

Eve prescott.

- Eve prescott.
- Mm-hmm.

Prescott...

You know what?
You're right, you're right.

I'm sorry to bother you.

Hey, wait.

How about you buy me a drink?

For my trouble.

Okay, that depends.

On?

- On what you're drinking.
- Why?

How else am I gonna know
if you got a good taste?

I asked you to join me.

I'd say my taste is already
questionable, wouldn't you?

Wow. Can we get a drink?

See? I bought you a drink.

Here you go.

Thank you.

- Eve: A toast.
- [glasses clink]

To good taste.

Good taste. I like that.

And after that, left.
Never went back.

Wow. So you've never
spoke to them again?

Not once.

Hmm.

I still think
I have you beat by far.

No. Oh, no, no,
not a chance.

Trust me.

Okay, okay. All ears.

No, I don't feel like it.

You just promised.

I'm not in the mood.

Oh, so you gonna tease.

Fine. When I was born,

I was adopted by
a prominent family in the uk.

Royalty?

No, not royalty.

I think you're gonna have
to do better than that.

When I got older, I got curious
about my birth mother,

And I discovered that I come
from an even wealthier

And more powerful
american family.

Okay, see, now...

Now it's getting interesting.

Is it like a family
I would've heard of?

Perhaps.

Come on, come on, keep going.

Look, I am just
a humble college professor,

Who needs to supplement
my income

By selling stories
to the tabloids.

Wow. All right, all right.

I get it, I get it.

So what, you came back here
to reconnect with your family?

Something like that.

I'm sure they'll be excited.

We'll see.

You ever met 'em before?

I mean, is this
your first time meeting 'em?

It is.

So I guess you'll be staying
with them for a while then.

- Who are you, really?
- Why you say that?

Because you seem more interested
in learning about my heritage

Than trying
to get into my pants.

That's not normal.

I was just trying
to be respectful.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Look, honest to god,

If you want to get out of here
right now, we can go.

We can go, and I will never
talk about this again.

I promise.

Narrator:
They say that a mother lion

Can identify her cub
by scent alone.

If this is true,
then it stands to reason

What a pack of lionesses
can do.

This is it.

Thank you for coming.

You didn't have to do this,
you know.

No, I know that.

I wanted to.

It's important to me
that you meet the family.

I have to admit
I'm a little nervous.

That's understandable.

Not for me, it isn't.

They're gonna love you.

Eventually.

Chin up. Let's go.

All right.

- Hello, janet.
- Miss jones.

May I present eve prescott.

Jones. Eve jones.

That's my daughter.

What?

Lining up some good donors.

You know, maybe we can get
a couple of celebs in.

- Absolutely.
- I can do that.

- Hey, everyone.
- Hey.

This is eve.

Hello.

You look a little like pam.

I take that as a compliment.

You should.

This is robin, our stepmother.

Welcome to our home, eve.

Thank you.

This is carrie and her friend,
lance deveraux.

God, pam,
could you be more formal?

I'm carrie, this is lance.

It has been such a surprise,
but we're happy you're here.

Thank you.

This is kayla.

And last but not least,

This is tara.

I've seen you before.

No, I don't--
I don't think so.

No, no, I'm positive.
I never forget a face.

I mean, tara's been to london
quite a few times,

But I don't know if
your paths would've crossed.

No, no, it's much more recent.

Eve, how long are you planning
on staying in pacific hills?

I'm really not sure.
It all depends.

On?

I guess
on a variety of things.

So, eve, tell us.

With this being
such a surprise and all,

I'm sure there's a story.

How did you find us?

Carrie, please, just chill.

Let her breathe
and get settled in, okay?

No, no, it's fine.

I'm sure all of you
have plenty of questions.

It's actually a lot simpler
than you might think.

Since the time I found out
I was adopted,

I was always told that no one
knew who my birth mother was.

And then when my parents
passed on,

And I had to deal
with the estate,

There was a safe deposit box
in the bank.

The rest is self-explanatory.

Well, not to state
the obvious, eve,

We're not the typical
american family.

- [laughter]
- eve: That I gathered,

Long before I came to america,
in fact.

Look, I know what
you're all thinking.

What do I want.

I don't blame you.
I'd be thinking that too.

But the answer is nothing.

I just wanted
to meet my mother.

We are really happy
that you found us, eve.

Really, we are.

It's just gonna take
a little while to get used to.

I understand.
It does for me too.

I hope you stay awhile.

I'll think about it.

Darling, wait for me in the car,
and I will be there in a sec.

Okay.

Bye.

Beautiful girl.

Yes, she is.

So I will call you later

And let you know
everything that's going on.

So what are you doing now?

You're gonna drive her
back to the hotel?

Well, yeah.

Well, why don't you have
my driver do it?

I'm sure your sisters
have plenty to say to you.

I'm sure they do,
but it can wait.

I have a few things
to take care of of my own.

Like I said,
I will call you later.

Okay.

Well, I'm gonna say it:
I don't trust her.

Well, what a surprise, tara.

If you guys want to make me out
to be the bad guy, that's fine,

But I'm not gonna be
played a fool.

I don't think she's playing
anyone for a fool, tara.

Stay out of this, lance.
It's not your money.

Do not talk to him like that.
He was only trying to help.

- Shut up, carrie.
- Excuse me?

Okay, everyone calm down.

This entire situation
has put us all on edge.

We shouldn't be
at each other's throats.

All I'm saying is how many times
do we have to get burned

Before we stop
trusting people?

Webb, william, carlos?

Okay, pam is not gonna trust her
without doing her due diligence.

Robin either,
for that matter, so...

And she's not your rival, tara.
She's your niece.

And I'm not saying
you have to embrace her,

But at least think about giving
her the benefit of the doubt.

Hello, cam.

Well, I won't keep you
in suspense much longer.

How thoughtful of you.

What's that?

The price of my silence.

[scoffs]
your silence?

Monthly installments,
of course.

You must be joking.

Oh, no.

I'm afraid I'm quite serious.

Dead serious, in fact.

And furthermore,
I'd say that's quite reasonable,

Considering
what it's buying you.

I need to think about this.

There's one more thing,
however.

And that is?

I want an admission.

Excuse me?

An admission.
To protect my investment.

An admission of what?

Your husband's murder,
of course.

Are you out of your mind?

Spare me the outrage, robin.

I have the tape, remember?

I don't want to see
or hear from you ever again.

Consider my offer, robin.

I'm a patient man,
but I can't wait forever.

And pretty soon
you're gonna realize...

I'm the best friend you have.

Robin: Excuse me.

Finally.

Well, well, you're not lance.

What are we doing here?

I texted you from his phone.

Why?

Leave him alone, leo.

I'm only gonna
tell you this once.

And you have plenty of other
people you can shake down.

Let me remind you, carrie.

I make the rules.

Last chance, leo.

Do I have your word?

Carrie, don't you worry your
pretty little head about it.

[chuckles]

Wait, so you really have no idea
when you're going back.

You trying to get rid of me?

Me? Oh, no, no, no!
Hardly.

[laughs]

- You ever been to England?
- I have.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

You sound like you're
surprised or something.

Well, you never mentioned it.

Oh, you mean it like all the
time that we spent together?

So much time. Wow.

Still, I figured you
would've said something.

Americans are always keen
to show other people

How cosmopolitan they are.

[chuckles]

Yeah, well, I mean,
it was my junior year college.

I was living in hostels,

Passing out in pubs.

It's not like I was lecturing
at cambridge or something.

Did you like it?

What would I like?

You know, I had no money,

No entanglements,

No responsibilities.

Hmm. And now?

Now you're just a pillar
of polite society, right?

Ha ha ha.

Oh.

We're here.

Chez carlton?

That would be french,
not english.

[gasps]

Thank you
for the clarification.

Oh, my god.

Come on.

Well, I wasn't accompanying you
for the exercise.

Madam?

[laughs]
come on.

Anchorman: Despite an intense
search and rescue effort,

He was presumed dead.

Claiming that he had suffered
from memory loss,

He was recuperating
at an undisclosed location.

- Our team caught up with him.
- What's going on?

So, mr. Deveraux, tell us,
how is this possible?

I appreciate your concern.
I really do.

It's just right now
the doctors have instructed me

To get my rest,

And that's what I'm gonna do.

Reporter: Do you have
anything else to say?

Hello, robin.

I can't wait
to hold you in my arms.

Oh, my god.

Anything?

Whole lot of nothing.

Just like with motherearth.

Has to be connected
to the joneses.

That whole family is as dirty
as the day is long.

You think the deveraux kid
is on to us?

No way. Otherwise, he wouldn't
be meeting with patricia.

What do you think it's about?

Until the assistant director
signs off on the wiretap,

No way to know.

[phone rings]

Peterson.

Yes, sir.

I understand.

You all right?
Looks like you've seen a ghost.

Webb deveraux is alive.

[knocking]

- Come in.
- Yes, captain.

I was told it was important.

We're closing
the webb deveraux murder case.

With all due respect, captain,
that's a big mistake.

- Detective...
- I realize...

We haven't made
the progress you expected.

We haven't made the progress
I expected either,

- But to close this before...
- Johnson...

We've even had a chance
to do anything with this...

- Johnson...
- I know to go with...

The official story that
the death was an accident...

- Okay, detective.
- But you and I both know--

Detective! May I speak?

That's not why
we're closing the case.

In order to investigate a death,
accidental or otherwise,

You have to have a victim.

I don't understand.

Webb deveraux is alive.

The press is
right outside the building.

So let them wait.
We're under no obligation

To tell them anything.
Absolutely none.

I'm just saying, pam.

Is sheldon on his way?

Yeah, he's on the way.
En route and making calls.

How could it happen?
I mean, how can it happen?

Well, obviously
he's not dead, robin.

Thank you, tara.

Well, where the hell
has he been?

He certainly hasn't been
underwater for weeks.

Another brilliant deduction!

What the hell
is your problem, kayla?

We're wasting time
stating the obvious

When we should be figuring out
how to deal with this situation.

- It's not like we have any--
- no, no, kayla's right, okay?

It doesn't matter if he's been
hiding, where he's been hiding.

All that matters right now is
what does he want?

Revenge. That's obvious.

Well, then he would've
gone to the police.

Why? We've done nothing wrong.

Okay, what am I missing?

Robin, why hasn't webb
reached out to you?

I don't know.

I wish I knew
what he remembered.

Robin, what do you remember,
exactly?

We were, uh, sailing,

He went up to the deck,

Slipped, hit his head
and fell in the water.

That's all I remember.

Robin, what really happened
on that boat?

You heard what
she just said, carrie.

It's not important.

What's important is
we figure out what we do next.

We put out a statement,

Or else the press
will be hounding us.

Pam: A statement that says what?

Robin jones
of jones enterprises

Believed that her husband
was dead,

And she's thrilled to find out
that he's alive,

Even though he hasn't bothered
to reach out or speak with her.

No, that doesn't
sound crazy at all.

No, no, we simply say we ask
the press to respect our privacy

During this difficult time.

Okay, yeah,
like that's gonna work.

It might. I mean, we don't need
to tell them everything.

Well, unfortunately,
it seems the ship has sailed.

There's tons of speculation
all over the internet.

- What?
- What sites?

Take your pick. All of them.

What are they saying?

Doesn't matter, really,
what anyone is saying

Because no crime
has been committed.

I need you to keep
saying that to yourself,

And don't forget that
no crime has been committed.

- How you holding up?
- Oh...

No crime has been committed.

We'll get through this.
We'll all get through it.

Yeah, but what's our play
right now, sheldon?

I mean, we've got this office
full of employees,

Looking at us because they don't
know what the hell's going on,

And there's a gaggle of
reporters down in the street,

Ready to kill us for a quote.

Take care of the employees.
Appear transparent.

But remember,
you don't owe them a damn thing.

I'll take care of the press.

No, I will.

Look, I've been dealing with the
press regarding the charities

For a long time now.

I don't mind.
And plus, I'm good at it.

Carrie, I don't doubt it,
and I'm sure you are good at it,

But there's a big difference
between feeding the press

Some harmless sound bites--

Sheldon, let carrie
handle the press.

Like she said,
she's good at it.

So... Now what?

Now we get you
out of here, okay?

We'll go down
the service elevator

And out the back garage.

I'll take you home.

I want security at the house.

I'll take care of it.

Thank you.

And what about the rest of us?
What do we do?

Well, no one here
speaks to anyone,

Not in an official capacity,
anyway.

If we absolutely
have to speak,

We just let them know
that we're not ready

To give an official statement
at the moment.

And we're thrilled
that webb is alive.

Got it?

All: Got it.

[sighs]

So... Tell me how
you're really feeling?

[laughs]

Honestly,
I'm expecting the police

To be at that door any second
to arrest me.

- For what?
- For what?

Attempted murder.

They wouldn't dare.
They don't have any proof.

Webb is their proof.

Oh, but he's looking
particularly healthy,

Just as smug as ever.

Smug because he knows
they're about to arrest me.

Nah, that's not what he wants.

How do you know
what webb wants?

Oh, no, no, I don't.

I'm just saying
that whatever it is,

He wouldn't use the authorities
to handle it.

Makes him look weak
and vindictive.

Besides, we have much bigger
problems on our hands

Than attempted murder.

And that is?

Well, technically,
you and webb are still married.

So?

So half of all your property,
your assets, all of the money--

Oh, god, robin, honestly,

I can't believe
you didn't sign a prenup.

A prenup wouldn't have been
in our best interests.

Okay, now I don't understand.

A prenup can work both ways.

Without it, I would have
gotten everything,

As this whole resurrection
wasn't exactly expected.

Fair enough,
but since webb is alive,

Half of everything
belongs to him.

Over my dead body.

Better his.

You know, I tried that before.

Try again?

[giggling]

Narrator: Cam forest
may have thought

That with webb deveraux
at his back

Nothing could stop him.

He's about to realize
that he's met his match.

Robin, you're late.

No worries.

- This will take just a minute.
- Oh?

- I've thought about your offer.
- And?

And I'm here to tell you
you can go to hell.

I'm not confessing to anything.

You're making a mistake,
robin,

One that I fear
you're gonna regret.

I'm not making a mistake, cam.

I'm just not one to be
easily intimidated.

And you can tell that
to whomever you're working for.

She wouldn't bite.

Webb: Excuse me?

She wouldn't even consider it.

She told me to go to hell
and then left.

[chuckles, sighs]

Well, that's unfortunate.

Ah, it is what it is.
I tried.

Apparently, not hard enough.

I don't know what you
expected me to do.

It's not as if I could
grab her by the collar

And force her to confess
out in public.

No, no, I...

I guess you couldn't.

Just so you know,
I still expect to get paid.

For what?
You didn't do what I asked.

I upheld my end
of the bargain.

It's not my fault your crazy
wife didn't want to play ball.

- Hmm.
- We go back a long ways, webb.

But don't mess with me.

I breathe one word of this,
and you're finished.

Hey, man, you got a dollar?

What?

You got a dollar, man?

Get the hell away from me.

[click]

Bye-bye, cam.

Idiot.

It was, uh, lovely.

Lovely?

Yeah, I was trying
to think of, like,

The most english compliment
I could.

And that's what you
came up with?

That's what I came up with.

Hey, what's the hurry?

No hurry.

I was hoping we could
talk a little bit.

Hmm. And what do you
want to talk about?

Um, you know,

Your plans,
how long you staying here,

What you're gonna do
while you're here,

Who you gonna see
while you're here, besides me.

I already told you.
It's all up in the air.

I mean, still you gotta have
some kind of idea, right?

This is what you want
to talk about, plus lovemaking?

Unless you want to go
another round.

I might be able
to be persuaded.

Yeah? Mmm.

So is there anyone else here
in america you know?

That I know?

Yeah, like, you know,
friends, family?

Get ready.

- [zapping]
- [screaming]

Just so you know,
that was only a single milliamp.

Little more than a tickle,
wasn't it?

Now, this little device of mine
goes up to four milliamps.

Don't think I need to explain
what that can do to you, do I?

Now I'm going to ask you
some questions.

Don't worry.
This isn't an examination.

They're very easy.

If you answer honestly,
we're okay.

But if you lie to me...

Now, who sent you?

Look, I don't know
what you mean.

I'm sorry, wrong answer.

- [zapping]
- [screaming]

- Okay, it was tara jones
- good.

That's what I thought.

You see, the first time we met,

I thought you were asking
too many questions,

Especially for someone
just looking for a piece of ass.

But I wasn't sure.
Now I'm sure.

And what did tara jones
tell you to do?

Nothing, I swear.

All she said was that
I was supposed to find out

As much information about you
as I could.

She told me about
your background

And that you were from England

And that I need to find out
as much as possible.

Why you?

Why me, what?

Why did she pick you?

What made her think you had
this unique ability

To get me to open up to you?

I was her professor,

And I had
a relationship with her.

I guess she figured if I could
get you to sleep with me,

Then you wouldn't
suspect anything,

And then you'd be
more likely to talk.

And what will you
tell her now?

I'll tell her
whatever you want me to,

Whatever you want me to say.

All I want you to tell her

Is that I'm thinking about
returning to England very soon.

Tell her I said this whole trip
was a mistake.

You do that,
and you're off the hook.

Hmm?

[carlton yells]

I'll teach you to set me up!

Gonna set me up, huh?

- You playin' me?
- [zapping]

[screaming]

Your maid told me
to come right in.

It's the 21st century, sheldon.
Her name is janet.

I don't know whether I should
offer you my condolences

Or congratulations.

How about you tell me
what you found out?

That's how you can
help me best.

My connection
in the police department

Says he hasn't
filed anything yet.

- Like what?
- Like anything.

There's a lot of charges
that he could file against you.

I'm not saying
any of them would stick,

And I'm not saying that the da
would accept any of them.

I'm just telling you
what he could do.

But he hasn't.

There's something else.

I also hear he's not being
very cooperative.

What do you mean by that?

The police need to talk to him.

It's a very high-profile
missing person's case.

That being said, they have
to do their due diligence,

Or they will look like fools,

And webb and his legal team
were stonewalling.

That's a good thing, right?

Normally, I would say so,

But we don't know
what he's thinking.

We don't know what
he's planning. His end game.

But we do know
he has an end game, robin.

Well, can't we find out
what his end game is?

How?

How?
[chuckles]

You're the lawyer, sheldon.
That's your job.

You're his wife,
and his son is in your corner.

He hasn't done anything
with the police.

He hasn't spoken to the press
about anything substantial.

I can't read his mind, robin.

Damn. So what about
the business issues?

Well, that's incredibly
straightforward

And incredibly complicated.

Meaning?

Well, that's the best way
I can describe it.

In the eyes of the law,
you and webb are still married,

So the division of property
is very simple then.

Now that being said,

You obviously want to extricate
yourself from the marriage.

Now, if webb was dead,
it wouldn't even be an issue,

But now that he's alive,

We have to explore
other avenues.

Divorce?

That would be the simplest.
But would webb be amenable?

And would you be
willing to give up

Half your ownership
of the water ventures?

- Half? Hell no!
- Exactly.

So we're gonna have
to get creative.

When you say the word
"creative" to me,

That means it's gonna cost me.

Robin, there are
no good options.

When that sob
came back from the dead,

It was the smartest move
he ever made.

Agreed.

Wow. You clean up nicely.
I barely recognized you.

- Care for a drink?
- Of course.

Bourbon, neat.

Uh, ordinarily I'd be
enjoying this a lot more.

I'm getting a feeling
that something's off.

What's wrong?

You're smarter than I am, pam.

Listen, I invited you here

And not to the site
or one of our offices because...

I hope you know how much I value
our personal relationship.

Stop beating around the bush,
stephen.

We can play footsie later.
What's going on?

We're pulling out
of the project.

Here you go, ma'am.

- I'm gonna need another.
- Right away.

I'm sorry.

Okay, let's forget about
the legality--

We're well within our rights.
There's numerous clauses--

I said forget about
the legality.

Why on earth would you
pull out of a project

- Where you make millions--
- why do you think?

I have no idea, stephen.
Absolutely none.

Why don't you tell me?

This isn't a decision
we made lightly.

But with webb back,
it's just too risky.

Wow. I did not peg you as a man
who would run away from a fight.

It's not the fight I'm worried
about, pam. It's the outcome.

- One and the same, no?
- No, they're not the same.

Look, pam...

I'm worried that
by helping you,

I'll actually be helping webb.
I've spoken with counsel,

And they haven't the foggiest
idea what's gonna happen

With the estate of webb
and your stepmother.

They can't even speculate.

Look, you are going to be fine.
I give you my word.

And that's okay with me.

But unfortunately, it's not okay
with my shareholders.

Now I will continue to help you
just like I've always done.

That's not gonna change.

I don't need your charity.

- Pam, don't be silly.
- [scoffs]

You don't want my business,
I don't want your drinks.

Professor glaser:
So looking back,

One of the things that makes
the wealth of nations

So extraordinary

Is that its central conceit
remains consistent.

Excuse me, professor.
I'm here to talk to tara jones.

Yeah.

Anyway...

As I was saying,
the wealth of nations...

Detective johnson: You sure
you don't want a lawyer?

- Am I under arrest?
- Of course not.

Then no, I don't need a lawyer.

Because if you can't afford one,
one will be provided for you.

Cute. You can tell me
what I'm doing here though.

You're enrolled in

Professor richard carlton's
economics class, yes?

Well, given that you
pulled me from this class,

That's a pretty safe deduction.

Professor carlton
was not in class today.

You had a substitute.

Are you just telling me things
I need to confirm?

I'm just laying out the facts,
miss jones.

Then keep going.

But as you already know,

Yes, professor carlton
was not in class today.

Are you at all curious
about where he was?

Not in the slightest.

If you had to guess.

I don't know.
Maybe he was sick or lazy.

Maybe he was on vacation.

Maybe he was sleeping
with a student or a dean.

Or dead.

Dead?

We found him in his home.

How?

Maybe a heart attack,
maybe not.

You don't know anything
about this?

No, of course not.

Why maybe?

Well, he died of a heart attack,
that's for sure.

Whether it was natural causes,
that's another story.

We believe he was with someone,
most likely a woman,

At the time of his death.

And you believe
this woman was me.

Was it?

No. Why would you say that?

We've done a preliminary search
of professor carlton's premises.

We found some documents
and business plans.

Business plans
that were meant for you.

Do you know anything
about this?

And again, I need to remind you
if you'd like a lawyer, we can--

I don't need a lawyer.

But yes, professor carlton
approached me

About using my money
and my family influence

To start some
business venture.

But you weren't interested.

No.

- Are we done here?
- For now.

But I wouldn't go far
if I were you.

Miss jones,
just for the record,

We don't believe you killed
professor carlton,

But we do believe you know
more than you're telling us.

Just remember
it's always better

If we don't have
to come looking for you.

Captain o'neill: So?

So she's smug, entitled,

And, if I may speak freely,

A complete and utter bitch.

But you don't think
the bitch did it.

When I told her he was dead,
she was shocked.

Genuinely shocked.

Maybe she's just
a really good liar.

Then she deserves an oscar.

There's something you
really need to know, johnson.

Leo patricia was found in
a parking lot off skid row.

- Is he dead?
- He's in a coma for now.

But the doctors,
it's touch and go.

- What happened?
- We don't know for sure.

All we know is
blunt force trauma.

Any suspects?

- Not yet.
- Clues?

We swabbed his body
for foreign dna.

Forensics thinks
it's futile to dust for prints

Because all we found was
one footprint near his body.

A footprint.

Well, a shoe print, actually.

A woman's shoe print.

High heel?

Mm-hmm.

Who'd want leo dead?

Take a number.

What we know is that he
did work for the joneses,

Both above board
and otherwise.

[scoffs]
this family.

Trouble follows them
everywhere.

Follows them?
They practically live off of it.

[door slams]

I'm home, dear.
