All language subtitles for Keeping Up with the Joneses 2

Ator: Previously on family
keeping up with the joneses...

We received another letter
yesterday.

It said, "stay out of harborside
or you'll regret it."

why the aversion to selling?

I'm well aware
of the mutual benefits, webb.

Remember this, my dear.

That which takes
decades to build

takes mere seconds to destroy.

- How's your beau?
- Making friends as usual.

- You're pregnant?
- [giggles]

to the new addition
to the family.

So how does this affect
our arrangement?

Is carlos here?
I really need to speak with him.

Then call him.
He's your half-brother too.

You know you're always welcome.

You guys have definitely
rolled out the red carpet

for the love child
of the esteemed jones patriarch

and his maid.

Hello, robin.

Carlos.

I've already killed
one person tonight.

What makes you think
I'm not gonna kill another?

That's what happens when you
mess with the wrong family.

Has built an empire

of unparalleled wealth
and power

and will do anything
to protect it.

Pam! Pam, come in quickly!

What?

[buzzing]

[static]

computer voice: Hello, ladies.

My apologies
for disturbing you,

but I'm afraid I'm going to
need your undivided attention.

Help me, please!

Computer voice: If you disobey
any of my instructions,

I will tell you where you can
pick her up in pieces.

Help!

♪♪ [ominous]

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 resentments.

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.

[camera clicking]

narrator:
Mama corleone once said

that you can never
lose your family.

But she had like 30 seconds
of screen time,

so what does she know?

Right now the joneses
are under siege,

both from outside forces
and those from within.

The question is, will they
crumble from the pressure

or rise like a phoenix,

angry, determined
and dead set on revenge?

[yawns]

when being questioned
by investigators,

you have the right
to remain silent,

you have the right
to an attorney present,

and you have the right
to look absolutely fabulous.

Carlos gardner
was your stepbrother?

We've been through this,
detective, ad nauseam.

My apologies, ms. Jones.

I'm just trying to keep all
these relationships straight.

He was my half-brother.

My father and our housekeeper,
rita gardner, had a child.

Carlos is their son.

Oh. That's a bit unconventional,
wouldn't you say?

Not for our family.

And what was your personal
relationship like

with mr. Gardner?

I just told you.

He was the bastard child of
my father and the housekeeper.

How do you think it was?

Hmm. I can only imagine.

I doubt it.

So this was
your engagement party.

Yes.

And did you put together
the guest list?

Partly.

My fiancé, william french,
had a say, of course,

and my stepmother and my sisters
added their two cents.

When you have a family
like mine, detective,

it's not as simple as buying
a pack of invitations

from walmart.

[chuckles]
I imagine not.

But carlos
definitely was invited.

Of course.

I'm sorry, ms. Jones,
am I boring you?

To be frank, detective,
um, a little.

You do realize we're talking
about a murder here.

I just want to make sure that
I have your complete attention

and cooperation.

Of course, detective.
Whatever you need.

Good.

Now, jess wilson,

she was in your employ
at the time of her death?

That's correct.

We hired miss wilson
on the recommendation of carlos.

She was investigating
some threats

the family was receiving.

Why not just
go to the police?

Well, we realize
how busy you are.

I mean, you must be overworked,
even on a good day.

A private investigator
allowed us the luxury

to have the focus
exclusively on us.

Mm-hmm.

We assumed, of course,
that jess discovered

that it was carlos who was
the one sending the bomb,

and when he realized that,
he, um...

He killed her.

And you do realize
that jess wilson

had been a detective
with our agency.

She was let go after an
internal affairs investigation

revealed some impropriety.

Well, I did know
she was a cop, yes,

but I didn't know why
or if she was fired.

Why is that important?

Oh, I didn't say
that it was.

Just asking some questions.

Hmm.

Well, I imagine
all of this has been...

Rather scary for you,
miss jones.

Why?

Two murders, one which
you personally witnessed.

Not exactly the fare
of the average teenager.

I'm not most teenagers.

No, I gathered that.

You don't even live with
your stepmother, do you?

No.

Or any of your sisters.

No.

But you do attend
drayton school,

where you board
for the academic year.

Yes.

In talking to them recently,

they said that you had been
recently suspended.

I'd like to call my lawyer.

[laughs]

this is just a friendly chat,
miss jones.

I'm sure he'll see it that way,
an 18-year-old high schooler

being questioned
without counsel.

Please.

So, ms. Jones,
the gun was yours?

It was my late husband's.

Hmm. Forgive me, but, uh...

Your husband has been deceased
for some years, no?

That's correct.

Oh.

So you shot carlos gardner
with an unregistered firearm.

I wouldn't say that.

[laughs] you wouldn't say
that you shot him,

or you wouldn't say that
you shot him

with an unregistered firearm?

I wouldn't say that the firearm
was unregistered.

Well, miss jones,

in the state of california,
the right to possess a firearm--

detective murphy,
if this conversation

is going to devolve into
a discussion on arcane laws,

how about I kindly refer you
to the family lawyer?

My apologies, ms. Jones.

You've been very forthcoming
with all of your answers.

You know, maybe the question
we should be asking is,

is how a decorated officer
from your department

went as far as attempted murder
without raising any red flags?

Well, we're all very interested
in that question,

I can assure you.

Good, because excuse me
for suggesting this,

but it almost sounded as if you,
you came dangerously close

to blaming the victims
in this case.

[laughs]
not at all, ms. Jones.

But the fact remains that you
shot carlos gardner to death

in your own home.

That is indisputable.

My job is to understand why.

Well, if that's really
why we're here,

I can answer that question
for you right away.

Oh.

Carlos gardner paid the price.

For...

For messing with...

The wrong family.

Look, I understand
the value of a united front,

but I still think
it was a mistake

for us to have gone at all.

Sheldon was furious
when I told him what we did.

Sheldon gets paid to worry.
That's what lawyers do.

True, but maybe he has
good reason to.

Look, the reality is,
if you want to look innocent,

you cooperate
with the authorities.

If you want to look guilty,
that's when you lawyer up.

But we are innocent, pam.
We did nothing wrong.

Robin: As crooked as carlos was,

he has a lot of friends
in the department.

I say we keep him
at arm's length.

Which is exactly why
we should have called sheldon.

I mean, what's the point
of having him on retainer

if we're not gonna use him?

Because we need to maintain
good relations

with the police department,

especially knowing what we now
know about webb deveraux.

Why? That's not
a law enforcement matter.

Uh, well, he sent the letters.

Great, so we get him indicted
on mail fraud.

Well, it was tax evasion
that brought down al capone.

Listen, it was stupid of webb
to send those letters.

That's not up for debate.

Having said that,

webb did make us
a legitimate offer.

Which we all have
already decided to turn down.

It was a generous offer, pam.
You've seen the numbers.

What, like he's doing it out of
the goodness of his heart?

Webb knows the prospects
for our business,

otherwise he wouldn't have
made the offer at all.

A few years' time,
jones enterprises

is gonna be double
what it's worth now,

maybe even more.

So what, he tries to
strong-arm us into selling,

his plan turns
to attempted murder,

and now what, he expects us
to give him a good deal?

I say we teach him a lesson.

Chill out, matlock. You're not
even supposed to be here.

You're supposed to be at school.

Nevertheless, I agree with tara.

If webb thinks that he can
get away with doing this to us,

there's no telling
where he's gonna stop.

Unless we stop him.

Exactly.

[sheldon chuckling]
no, no, no, no.

That's not what I said.

I said if the spa wants
to use the jones name,

then we need to see
the geological survey.

Jerry, I don't care
if it's just a licensing deal.

It's our brand.

Right. Right.

And because
it's beachfront property

is why the family's concerned.

Because if the rate of erosion
is consistent,

in less than a decade,
people will come for a massage

and wake up in the sea

because the whole damn place
will fall into the water.

No, no, no.
Call me much later.

- Hey.
- Aww!

What's this?

I just thought that today must
have been stressful for you.

Oh, you have no idea.

Let me just use the washroom
and get changed

and then I'm all yours.

Okay. I'll put this
in a vase.

[door opens]

[door opens]

beautiful.

The flowers are pretty too.

Ha ha ha.

Okay, tell me.

Okay, so we met with
the detective, detective murphy.

All together or alone?

Alone, without a lawyer.

Carrie thought
it was a bad idea,

but pam said we'd look guilty
if we had one, so...

Anyway it was just kind of
a nothing conversation.

He just asked about the party
and what happened,

and I didn't really tell him
anything he didn't know before.

Did he ask about me?

No, I don't think so,

but I'm sure
I mentioned you. Why?

No reason. Just...
Just curious.

And then we went back
to the house after.

You know,
this doesn't look good

for the police department
either.

I mean, carlos was still
a detective for them, so...

So with carlos dead,

who gets his share
of his inheritance?

I never really thought
about that.

You always said your father
made sure

to take care of
all his children, even carlos.

Now that he's gone,
that money has to go somewhere.

I like the way you think,
mr. French.

I thought you might, miss jones.
I thought you might.

Mm.

Great.
Now that we're all here...

Wait. Where's robin?

Home, I assume.

Why isn't she coming?

Because I didn't invite her.

And before I begin, I think
it should go without saying

that anything said within
these walls stays in this room.

Okay.

Between the bombing
and the threats,

I think robin is shaken.

[chuckles] please.
You saw how she took out carlos.

That woman
is a stone-cold bitch.

That was self-preservation.

Any one of us would've
done the same thing.

Wait. What is this about, pam?
And why all of a sudden

you're so concerned with
robin's feelings?

Because she has been
seeing webb.

She admitted that to us, right?

Which means that she has been
doing it more than she admitted.

What's that mean?

It means she wants to sell.

Who cares what she wants?

For all we know, she's been
wanting to sell the company

since dad died.

The point is, she can't do
anything without our consent.

That is not entirely true.

What do you mean?

Have any of you ever
taken the time

to actually read dad's will?

Or what about the bylaws,
the articles of incorporation?

Okay.

In the simplest terms possible,

robin has two voting shares
to each of our one,

and in the event of a tie,
she's the deciding vote.

Now previously,
because of our numbers,

she has not been able to do
anything without our consent,

provided that we all agree.

So what's changed?

Nothing... Yet.

I mean, recent events
have shown us

how far some people
are willing to go.

And if something should happen
to one of us or some of us--

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Are you saying that robin would
actually try and get rid of us?

- Pam: No.
- That is absurd.

What I am saying
is that robin now realizes

that controlling a company
as large as jones enterprises

comes with
some occupational hazards,

and she may think that the safe
and lucrative thing to do

is just try and sell.

I still say it's ridiculous.

I can't believe robin
would try and--

no, no, no,
she doesn't have to kill us.

Just as long as she can get
two of us to change our vote.

Exactly.

And I want us to remember
what dad wanted.

Dad wanted jones enterprises

to remain
in jones' hands forever.

Okay! I'm gonna get going.

I gotta go make
my daily vitamin shake,

plus william and I
are going out tonight, so...

Kayla, remember,
not a word of this to anyone.

Bye.

I'll be in my office
if either one of you need me.

Thanks, sis.

You made some
very good points today.

I always do,
but usually no one listens.

Aww...

I wanted to talk to you
about something.

Of course.

Um...

I'm not going back there.
I can't.

Okay. That's totally
understandable.

We'll just have to make
some other arrangements.

Ah, okay!
I'll have one of the cars

drive you back up to school
this afternoon,

and then we'll just ship
the rest of your things to you

as you need them.

That's what I was talking about.

I'm not going back to school.

I can't, not after
everything that's happened.

What do you mean, you're not
going back to school?

That's ridiculous. You graduate
in a couple of months.

Yeah, and then what?

And then what?
And then college.

And that's another thing.

I am not going to college.

Okay. Then what
will you be doing?

Same thing as you,
same thing as carrie.

I'll work for
jones enterprises.

Oh, tara, please.

You have never shown
an inkling of interest

in the family business.

And if I'm being frank,

you haven't really shown
much interest in the family.

I don't really have a choice
when I've been banished

to the sticks
for most of my life.

Drayton is the most prestigious
boarding school

on the west coast.

I would hardly call it
the sticks.

That is offtrack, okay?

Carrie and I, we have degrees
from universities.

I have an mba,
kayla has a degree.

Exactly! That's my point!

It's just a piece of paper
with a stamp on it!

What's the purpose of college?

To develop skills, right?

Well, who hacked into
the rental companies?

If it wasn't for me, carlos
would've never been caught.

- That's not the point.
- Then what is the point?

The point is that college
is about more than academics.

It is your chance to...

What?

What, join a sorority?

Become part of
student government?

Find myself?

Yeah, maybe.

Yeah, and I'll be able to attend
a real-life formal.

Okay, I'm very sorry,
but you are going back,

and we can have the rest of this
discussion after graduation.

Pam, I'm not asking you.
I'm telling you.

I'm 18 years old now.
This was just a courtesy.

Tara, you are making
a huge mistake!

I will do everything in my power
to stop you from making it!

Please don't.

You said it yourself.

We need each other
more now than ever.

You may not realize it,

but you need me
more than I need you.

Come on, carrie. Why not?

- Because. That's why.
- Please?

- You have like plenty of room.
- That's not the point.

We'd be at each other's throats
by the end of the week.

So where am I
supposed to stay?

Tara, I have no idea.

That's not my problem.

[sighs]

don't you run
the company's charities?

So?

So haven't you heard the saying
that "charity starts at home?"

[laughs]

look, I don't think
whomever coined that saying

was thinking about
our situation.

Look, why don't you just
finish the semester,

graduate and then come back
and deal with everything?

Pam already tried
to convince me.

I don't need a lecture.

I'm just asking
for a place to stay.

Carrie: I'm not trying
to convince you of anything.

I'm just saying.

If I had a chance to do college
all over again, well...

Okay, I'm gonna go.

Where?

I don't know. Maybe I'll just
wander the streets.

20 bucks you'll be checked into
the four seasons by tonight.

See ya, carrie.

Bye, tara.
Be careful, okay?

Oh, I didn't order that.

I was actually gonna
ask for the check.

Courtesy of...

I'm sorry. There was a gentleman
sitting right there.

He bought the drink and
asked me to give this to you.

What did he look like?

Nothing out the ordinary.
Professional.

He was wearing a suit too,
I think.

Do you have
his credit card receipt?

Even if I could share
that info with you,

he paid in cash.

It's probably just some guy
too shy to say hello.

It happens more than
you would think.

My advice? Enjoy the drink,
then forget about it.

♪♪ [light jazz]

[pop]

ah!

Sit down, webb.

[chuckles]

you know, I have had many
unforgettable meals here

with your father and most
recently with your stepmother.

May I suggest the foie gras?

It's not really to my taste.

What is it, haute cuisine?

No. Diseased liver.

So how is
your stepmother feeling?

She'll survive.

Oh, I'm sure, I'm sure.

She's... She's a fighter.

But still, can't be easy.

What can't be easy?

Killing your own child.

Carlos is not her child.

He has no relation to her
whatsoever.

Oh, that's right!

He was your father's
love child.

Your father, he certainly had
a wandering eye.

We know, webb.

Excuse me?

I said we know...

That it was you
who sent the letters,

who threatened us.

[webb chuckles]

that's preposterous.

[pam chuckles]

oh, you really want
to play this game?

Okay, fine.

I'll tell you how we know.

On the first letter,
there was a partial print

left in the glue
on the envelope.

Have to say I was almost
impressed

that you did something
yourself.

Anyway we matched that print

to a print that you left
on a scotch glass

when you came to the house.

Have you...

Gone to the police?

Hmm. If I had,

we wouldn't be here,
would we?

What do you want?

I want you to walk away.

Drop this ridiculous quest
to acquire jones enterprises.

I'm afraid I can't do that.

Oh, you can and you will.

Or what? You'll go to
the authorities with what?

A couple blurry fingerprints

and a story about you playing
an amateur detective?

Hah! Please.

If you want to call my bluff,
that is your prerogative.

But just remember,
this isn't a trial.

I don't need to prove anything.

I think it's sufficient
for the public,

the press, your shareholders

just to hear these allegations,
don't you?

Let me ask you a question, pam.

What have you got against
a legitimate offer

for jones enterprises?

Certainly you understand

it can make you
a very rich woman.

I'm already
an extremely rich woman.

You know they say:
You can never be too rich...

Or too thin.

Let me make this easy
for you, webb.

Just drop it.

Forget jones enterprises
forever.

And if I don't?

If you don't,
then you discover

what everybody who goes up
against us discovers.

The only real question is
what's left of you

when the dust settles.

[laughs]

enjoy that duck liver, webb.

Speaks to the scavenger in you.

What can I get you, chief?

How about a gin and tonic?

- You want a lime with that?
- Of course.

Okay, here you go.

Wanna start you a tab?

Let's see how it goes, huh?

Well, I figured
we could keep acting

like the other one
doesn't notice,

or I could come over here
and introduce myself

like a grown-up.

Well, allow me to say

that I think you made
the right decision.

William.

Jodie.

So tell me,
in a bar like this,

how did I manage to find
the only single guy?

What makes you think
I'm not married?

Maybe I just don't like jewelry.

No. If you had a wife,
you wouldn't be here.

What makes you say that?

Because if I were her,

I would make sure that
you wanted to hurry home.

I...

I have a roommate.

Then I guess
it's a good thing I don't.

[bell tolling]

padre nuestro que estás
en los cielos,

santificado sea tu nombre...

Venga...

[crying]

...Tu reino.

Venga a nosotros tu reino.

May your mother rest in peace
with carlos, maria.

Maria.

I'm so sorry. I--

we...

We send our deepest
condolences.

You-- you've got a lot of nerve
coming here.

I just wanted
to pay my respects.

You killed my brother,

and now you want to gloat on
the day that I bury my mother?

I didn't kill anyone, maria,
and nobody wanted carlos--

look, I'm sorry.

Carrie, I don't want to see you
ever again.

I don't want to see
any of you ever again!

I hope that all of you
rot in hell!

And of course none of this
would be possible

without the tireless work

and generous donations
of all of our sponsors.

You truly are the heroes

someone so generous
really shouldn't look so sad.

Not formally, no.

But I've been
admiring you from afar.

Lance. Lance jenkins.

Carrie jones.

Oh, I'm well aware.

Uh-oh. Should I be worried?

I just meant that your
philanthropy is legendary.

I wouldn't say all that.

I mean, when you have the means,
you have the responsibility.

Oh, what a world it would be
if that were true.

So tell me,
what are you doing here?

Oh, just representing
my company,

although I do really
support the cause.

I love kids.

And I'm guessing you have
none of your own?

No. You?

So what business are you in?

Investment banking.

Mainly real estate,
some venture capital.

I work for a small firm called
tallahassee partners.

I'm sorry. I'm not familiar.

I'd be shocked if you were.

Like I said, we're small.

And it's not very exciting work,
I'm afraid.

Well, maybe you need to venture
into these exciting parties.

Exactly, but I promise you
I've already told you

the most exciting thing
about me.

I prefer to talk about
jones enterprises.

Oh, I doubt we're
that much more exciting.

Oh, come on.

If the papers are to be true,

you've had more than
your share of drama lately.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to pry.
I only thought--

no, no, it's okay.

It's all over the news,
I guess.

Look, we don't have
to talk about it.

But you're okay now?

Yes, I'm okay.

Unfortunately,
I have another engagement.

In fact, I should've been
on my way already, but...

I would love to see you again.

I think there's
another event for...

Orphan ferrets next week.

How about a proper date?

Do you have a card?

How about I call you?

I'm old-fashioned.

Oh, you crashed pretty hard.

I figured you must have been

But you stayed.

talk about it with someone else,

other than my sisters.

Well, I'm all ears,
as long as you're comfortable.

Well, he was trying to get us to
back out of a big business deal

and eventually sell the company.

I guess what it comes down to
is that after my father died,

jones enterprise suddenly became
appealing as a takeover target.

It means the company's well-run.
It's valuable.

Yeah, only we aren't interested
in selling.

My older sister, pam,
she has done a phenomenal job

in running it
since my father died,

and she's increased its value
by a lot.

You and your sisters,
you're equal owners?

Actually, my stepmother,
my father's second wife,

yeah, she owns
most of the shares.

The voting ones, at least.

[chuckles]

what is it?

I don't know.

Every time we're together,

I end up telling you
more than what I planned to.

I guess I'm just
a good listener.

I've wanted to do that
since we first met.

I'm glad you did.

I wanted to kiss you from
the very first time I saw you.

At the fundraiser?

Actually, it was before that.

What do you mean?

I saw you at the bar,
but I was too shy to say hello,

so instead,
I sent you a drink.

Wait, that was you?

And then at the benefit,
I just knew I had to say hello.

- What's the matter?
- I don't like that.

It kinda feels like
I'm being watched.

Oh, god, I'm...
I'm sorry.

Look, listen, it's okay.

Um, with everything
that's going on,

I know I could probably
come off a little paranoid,

so let's just forget it, okay?

But not the kiss?

[chuckles]

no, not the kiss.

Should I have
memories of this yacht,

sitting at your knee
as you taught me

the ins and outs
of the family business?

Nothing would have
made me happier.

You sure had a funny way
of showing it.

Well, you could thank
your mother for that.

Mom only wanted
what was hers.

No, see, that's what
she didn't understand.

None of this is hers.

None of it!

Trust me.

I was more than generous
with your mommy.

Anyway, are you, uh...

Are you here
to relitigate the past?

Wouldn't that mean we would've
had to litigate it first?

[laughs]

so you made contact
with her yet?

Yes, and?

Which one?

Does it matter?

To me, no.

But to you...

I think it matters
a great deal.

Carrie jones.

She's the second-oldest
daughter.

She as smart as her sister?

Probably.

However, she oversees the
family's charitable endeavors.

I thought there would be
less suspicion this way.

Whatever you say.

This is gonna take time.

Not only is she smart,
but she's careful.

You know, I've had my eye
on this company for a long time.

A long time.

Patience, I can tolerate.

Mistakes, I can't.

And I won't.

You know, some fathers
would welcome their sons

into the family business
unconditionally.

They wouldn't see the need
for all these tests.

And would these sons
also have spent half a decade

as a guest of the state?

- You never made a mistake?
- Not one like that.

You mean you never got caught.

Look, you do realize
if it wasn't for me,

you would've been in there
much longer.

Please.

All you cared about was keeping
your name out the paper

and minimizing
your relationship to me.

You know what?

Daddy needs a little more.

Let's improve our relationship.

Why don't you go get me
a little refill?

Robin: Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Morning.

Miss jones.

- Thank you, janet.
- Of course.

So are you happy with her?

She's okay.
She's not my clara.

Who is?

Only thing is,
clara is six feet under.

[coughs]

god, kayla, have some respect.

What? She is,
despite how tactful I am.

And all because of
our idiot half-brother.

Speaking of, I would like
everyone to remain alert.

Just because we haven't heard
from the detectives in a while

does not mean that their
investigation is over,

at least not according
to my sources.

Oh, let them investigate.

We didn't drag carlos
into the engagement party

and force a gun
into his hands.

What could they
possibly discover?

All I'm saying is
that it might be better

if the police were not
poking around in our affairs.

Well, before we discuss
any family business,

I'd like to say something.

Go ahead.

I've met someone.

- Ooh!
- Okay!

And, kayla, I'd like to
invite him to the wedding.

Bring whoever you want.
You don't need my permission.

So who is he?

Well, no one you know,
I'm sure,

but his name is lance jenkins.

And where'd you meet him?

At the angels event.

Oh, he was a sponsor?

Is this your way of asking me
how rich he is, pam?

No, that was my way
of asking you a question.

Ah, well, his company,
tallahassee investments,

was a sponsor, yes.

But to answer
your real question,

I do not know
how wealthy he is,

nor do I care.

Does he make his own money?

As opposed to what?

As opposed to family money,
of course.

Well, we haven't discussed
each other's finances,

but I like him well enough
to invite him to the wedding.

Well, I, for one,
am very happy for you, carrie.

Just be careful.

What's that supposed to mean?

- Be careful?
- Yeah.

It's what I would tell
any of my daughters, carrie.

Be careful.

What was his name again?

Lance jenkins.

Look, we don't have
to prolong this conversation.

I just wanted
to inform everyone.

- So, pam.
- Mm-hmm.

How's your new houseguest?

Oh, shocker! She doesn't
pick up after herself.

- Uh-huh!
- That's what the maid is for.

No, that's what college is for.

Robin, if you want to bring
this up again, I'm leaving.

Oh, door's right there.

Come on, ladies.

Can we just calm down?

You're stressing the baby out.

Speaking of...

Kayla, I haven't seen william
in a long time.

Does he come around anymore?

What do you mean?
I see him every day at home.

Oh, well, I just mean that if
you had let me stay with you,

then I would see
more of william.

What are you
complaining about, tara?

You are staying with pam.

Her house is 10 times bigger
than mine.

Oh, I'm not complaining
about anything.

I'm just saying that
if you had let me stay with you

instead of staying at pam's,

then I would see
a lot more of william.

It's too bad.
He's such a cutie.

No offense, kiddo,
but even if he wasn't my fiancé,

I think he's
a little too old for you.

Oh, so he's into older women.

I would hardly say
I'm an old maid.

All right, enough, enough.

Can we please
get down to family business?

So, pam, what's the latest?

I've just received word

that the zoning commission
inspection of harborside

will be complete
within the month.

Now, according to sheldon,
it's just a formality.

But still, given how big
this deal is to our portfolio,

- I don't want you to think--
- oh, I don't mean interrupt,

but don't forget about
the outside interest.

- From who, webb?
- Yes.

I thought we already
discussed this,

and I asked you
not to mention it again.

I'll let you know
if anything changes

from our... Perspective.

Noted.

You little bitch!

You know, I didn't know
it was true

until this very moment.

What the hell
was that about today?

I don't know. You tell me.

You don't know
what you think you know!

You don't know anything!

Okay, if that is true,

then I have nothing
to worry about, right?

I invite you into my house.

No, none of your other sisters
was willing to take you on,

and this is how you repay me?

Come on, pam,
you didn't get to where you are

by playing nice with others.

And I also didn't get there

by blackmailing my sisters.

Who said anything
about blackmail?

I can keep a secret.

Then why make such a big show
about what you think you know?

Because I may need a favor
in the future.

Tara, you are very smart,

but there is such a thing
as being too smart.

No, there's not.

Yes--

okay.

You might be right about that.

Family?

Family.

Oh, my god.

Someone's been a naughty boy.

Tara.

- What are you doing here?
- I need to talk to you.

Okay.

Is it something serious?

I'm afraid so.

Okay. Go ahead.

First, I want you to promise me
that you're not gonna get angry.

I'm doing this
strictly for your benefit.

What is it, tara?
Just tell me.

Okay. Remember how
we caught carlos?

Meaning how you hacked into
the car rental computer system?

Of course.

Yes, well, despite
what companies may claim,

one database is easier to hack
than the next,

if you know what you're doing.

What'd you find, tara?

Carrie, is everything--

you son of a bitch!

What?

Carrie, wait!
Carrie, wait!

What is going on right now?

- Carrie, I said wait!
- Get the hell off of me!

Not until you talk to me!

How the hell did you think
I wasn't gonna find out?

Because my father
worked very hard

and paid a lot of people
a lot of money to keep it quiet.

But I figured you'd find out
eventually.

I was just trying to prolong it
as long as possible.

- Why?
- Why what?

Why didn't you tell me
when we first met?

And what would your reaction
have been if I told you

I was webb deveraux's son?

Is that even your name, lance?
Lance deveraux?

It's really lance jenkins,
just like I told you.

My mother's last name
is jenkins.

My father, webb,
he wasn't much of a father.

If you're looking for sympathy,
lance, now is not the time.

I don't want sympathy,
but I do want a second chance.

And why the hell
would I do that?

Because what I felt for you
was real, is real.

And what you
feel for me is too,

despite how you're feeling
right now.

And how can I trust you?

Just think.
Think about it, carrie.

Think about why I lied

and think about
what I lied about.

It was background details.

I'm still the same person,

I have the same job,
I feel the same way,

especially about you.

- You were in jail!
- You never made a mistake?

Not one that landed me
in prison!

Your family never
made a mistake?

It was political, carrie.
I was stupid, yes,

but the d.A. Was out
to make an example out of me

because of who my father is.

You can understand that.

Little did they know I hated
my father more than anyone.

He cared more about keeping it
quiet than getting me out.

Okay, so tell me.

It's a long story.

But I promise
if you give me another chance,

I'll tell you everything,
I promise.

And I'll never lie to you
again, ever.

Pam: Are you out of
your freaking mind?

Don't lecture me, pam.
I am not in the mood.

Honey, a lecture is
the least of your problems.

What the hell
are you thinking?

Is it so unbelievable that
he might actually like me?

Yeah, that's it.

He is webb devereux's son.

He can't stand his father.
He hates him more than we do.

That's just what he tells you!
[groaning]

okay, uh, okay, okay,
everybody just breathe.

You're the one
that's hyperventilating, pam.

Just tell me,
why are you doing this?

Because I like him.

I never took you for a fool,
carrie.

What in god's name
do you think is gonna happen?

His father has been trying to
acquire our company for months,

and when he couldn't do it
legally, he resorted to threats.

And now you think
it's just some coincidence

that his son
shows up in your life?

She met with webb.
You even spoke to him.

Uh, that was business, carrie.

Exactly, and this is pleasure.

I am perfectly capable
of keeping the two separate.

Have you slept with him?

Oh, don't be crass, pam.

[laughs]

and what the hell
are you laughing about?

You're the reason
that all this mess is starting.

I'm just simply
protecting the family.

Look, we all have our secrets.

The question is,
when do our secrets

start affecting each other?

Okay, carrie, if you are going
to continue seeing him,

then I think it's only fair

that we withhold the most
important details of the deal.

He is not sleeping with me

to get information.

Ah! So you are
sleeping with him.

I am going to say this
one last time.

Stay out of
my personal business!

Has anyone received a visit

from our friendly
neighborhood detective?

I'm sure he's
solved the case by now.

Oh, no. No, they haven't
closed anything.

Even if they knew
carlos was a murderer,

he was still one of their own.

You can never forget that.

And where are you going, carrie?

- I have a meeting.
- For what?

It's for our charities,

unless you want to continue this
inquisition a little longer.

We are just concerned, carrie.

Wow.

I might as well get going
as well.

As should I.

Robin: Be careful.

I'm assuming you don't want me
to stay for tea.

- Excuse me, ma'am.
- Yes.

You've a visitor.
He says his name is, um--

yes, janet, I'm expecting him.
Send him back. Thank you.

All right.

May I join you?

[mumbles]

what?

Nothing. I was just wondering

where the hell you come from.

[stifles laugh]

probably the same place
that you came from,

not getting too graphic
about it.

Last year, I took psychology
as an elective,

and we had
this guest lecturer.

You know, about the whole nature
versus nurture debate, right?

Of course.

Well, this guy said
it was a bunch of bs.

I mean, good parents
are better than bad parents,

and being born with everything

is better than being born
with nothing.

But he said that
any scientist worth their salt

would tell you
that biology trumps all.

We are what we are.

And the reason
for this little lecture?

It doesn't matter that I'm 18,
and you're whatever you are.

I don't think you realize
how alike we are,

and I also don't think
you'd like to admit that.

So I guess this means you're
really not going back to school.

Mm-mm.

Okay, then I think
we need to look into

you getting your own place.

Really?

Mm.

But this place was starting
to grow on me.

Yeah, but I'd like
my privacy back.

Oh, I bet you would.

Tara, despite
your little lecture,

you are only 18.

And there are
some things that...

Not everything is what it seems.

So there's an explanation
for why you were sleeping with

your sister's fiancé?

Oh, come on, pam, I was--
I was kidding!

Mm-mm!

Mmm!

[keys jingling]

[unlocks door]

[toilet flushes]

[vase shatters]

[siren blaring]

the bleeding has stopped
for now, although tomorrow,

I'd take her in to see a doctor
just to make sure.

And you're sure
she doesn't have a concussion.

I'm pretty sure.
She's extremely lucid,

and her pupils are
reacting perfectly to light.

I mean, tomorrow she'll have
a hell of a headache,

but I think she'll be fine.

- Thank you.
- Bye.

How are you feeling?

Mm, like someone hit me
over the head with a vase.

- Oh, wait.
- [laughs]

was it expensive?

- Was it in my house?
- [laughs]

cop: Excuse me, ma'am,
the detective wants to see you.

How's she doing?

She'll survive.

What did you find, detective?

Nothing much yet,

but it appears that nothing
has been forced on the doors.

Wait, you mean the intruder
had a key to my house?

Well, that's one possibility.

Even if he had a key,
the alarm would have gone off.

Well, maybe this intruder
had the code to the alarm.

Even so, it takes
a couple of seconds.

I'm a light sleeper.
It would've woken me.

Maybe somebody forgot
to turn the alarm on.

No, I checked it,
and I'm positive.

Oh.

Well, perhaps someone
turned the alarm off

and then forgot
to turn it back on.

You see, my men found
some roaches,

some marijuana cigarette joints
on a windowsill upstairs.

You turned off the alarm
to get high?

Don't worry, darling, we don't
arrest people for weed anymore.

What I'm more interested in
is how this intruder knew

that the alarm was off

and why they would break in
in the first place

because aside from the vase that
was broken for obvious reasons,

there doesn't appear to be
anything broken or stolen.

Yeah, except my papers. I--

papers?

Business documents.

Whoever broke in went
straight for my home office.

They broke all the locks
off my files,

and they stole
business documents.

And these documents
would be valuable to someone?

Detective, I'd like to talk
to my family and to my lawyer

before I say anything else.

I'm sure you understand.

Well, that is certainly
your prerogative, ms. Jones.

But I will remind you

that the sooner you
share with us what you know,

the sooner we can
find out who did this.

I realize that.

Yeah.

Well...

You take care
of that cut, darling.

Trust me, it can hurt a lot more
the next day.

I'll check in tomorrow.

If you decide you'd like
to share something with me,

why, you let me know.

Thank you, detective.

- Guys?
- Detective.

Female cop:
We're almost finished here.

Come on. Let's get this done.

Pam: Girl...

So when are they leaving?

They are leaving
when they are done.

[tara scoffs]
why?

Oh, yeah. You weren't home
after the bombing.

Forensics has to
go over everything

with a fine-tooth comb.

I just want to go to bed.

- Tara.
- What?

I have to ask.

Was anyone in the house
who shouldn't have been?

Like who?

Like anybody.

I'm not your mother.
I don't know who you bring home.

No.

I was alone. I swear.

And you didn't see
or hear anything?

Absolutely nothing.

I think whoever did it,
did it from behind.

Okay.

You don't think this had
anything to do with carlos,

do you?

No, but I do think it has
something to do with webb.

Well, what can I do to help?

Nothing for now.
I want you to go get some rest.

- We'll talk about it tomorrow.
- Okay.

Narrator: Whoever said
that pregnancy was fun

has obviously
never been pregnant.

Hi, britt!
[laughs]

oh, my god, I can't wait.

Okay, so we'll get some coffee
then go to bella nota.

Narrator: But there's one cure
for swollen ankles,

sore feet and hot flashes:

Shopping!

Okay, all right,
I'll see you soon.

Bye.

[groans]

[gasping]

[panting]

[line ringing]

hello?

Hey, it's me.

I need help.
[groans]

- carrie, let's go.
- Whoa, pam, what's going on?

I just got a phone call
from robin.

- It's an emergency.
- Wait, is everything okay?

- It's not her, it's kayla.
- Oh, my god. Okay.

Robin.

How is she?

She's okay.

William's in there
with her now.

And the baby?

What happened?

The doctor said it was
a genetic abnormality

that most likely occurs
in the first trimester.

Is she in any physical danger?

Not anymore, no.

So if she was to
ever get pregnant again,

what are the chances--

I mean, would this
happen again?

I asked the doctor that,
but not in front of kayla,

and he said that they can
run some tests down the line,

but... He doesn't think
that it will likely reoccur.

Okay.

Can we see her?

I think so.

They gave her something
to calm her down, but...

I'm sure she'd be really happy
to see you all.

Go.

Thank you.

You're welcome. Go.

- You good?
- Yeah.

Kayla.

- I'll be outside.
- Yeah, okay.

[sniffles]

I am so, so sorry.

It was a girl.

She was gonna be
the first of her generation.

- Yeah.
- Running the business one day.

Baby, is there anything
we could do?

Remember, if you need anything,
we are here for you.

Okay.

Always.

[sobs]

come on in, my dear.
Have a seat.

You got everything,
I assume.

Wouldn't be here
if I didn't.

Come on.

Did you have any problems
getting these?

Not for me.

Were you spotted?

Let's just say...

I let them know
I was there.

If there is any chance of them
tying you to me...

Relax. She didn't see me.

No one did.

I assure you
it's all there.

You think you'll have
any more jobs for me?

I certainly hope not.

Well, if you do,
send that young man again.

- I liked him.
- You can show yourself out.

Here we go.

Here we go.

[knocks]

a messenger delivered this.

Mm-hmm.

It's from the city.
The zoning commission.

- Oh, yeah, thank you.
- You're welcome.

Carrie!

What's up? What's wrong?

Read that.

No, no, no, no.

No, this can't be.

Those sons of bitches!

Okay, something
must have happened.

How the hell can a city
just arbitrarily decide

to cancel a multibillion-dollar
development?

I have no idea.

Okay, okay, look,
you call sheldon right away.

I'll call kayla and tara,
and we'll meet at the house.

Carrie, just close the door
and sit down.

Pam?

Close the door and sit down.

Do you recognize the signature
on that letter?

Doesn't ring a bell.
Who is it?

Leo is the head
of the zoning commission.

Okay.

He has been on our payroll
for years.

What? Why haven't I
known about this?

Oh, god, carrie.

Then you didn't wanna know.

Well, who knows?

Robin, of course.

And sheldon?

Sheldon has to know, but I have
never explicitly discussed it

so that he can maintain
deniability legally,

if not ethically.

So what does this mean, pam?

If he's taking money
and done deals on our behalf,

how the hell can he
stab us in the back

without indicting himself?

He can't.

That is what
I'm worried about.

We don't have anyone else
on the payroll

that can quietly
look into this.

How would you know?

I'm just trying to figure out
who we can get

to help clean up your mess.

Our mess.

So you do have someone
that might be able to help us.

Pam: Why haven't you all
gone in yet?

Tara: What for? I was waiting
for you guys to get here.

Pam: Let's go.

Hello, janet.

Oh, I thought you
might have been mrs. Jones.

No, but we are here
to see her.

That's not possible,
I'm afraid.

- What do you mean?
- She's not here.

What do you mean,
she's not here?

After breakfast,
she went to her room.

I went into town
to do some shopping.

After I returned,
she was gone.

Maybe she had an appointment.

Possibly.
However, she always tells me

when she's gonna be gone
this long.

Plus, she didn't take the car.

So how would she get there?

Okay, there's gotta be
an explanation.

Did you try her phone?

Oh, no. I didn't think
it was my place.

But if one of you could?

[beeping]

the number you have reached
has been disconnected.

[beeping]

okay, there has to be
an explanation.

Yeah. Janet,
so no one saw anything?

I asked the gardener.
He didn't.

There's no one else around.

What about the cameras?

I didn't think of that.

Do you think there's a reason
to check them?

- Well, yes.
- Yes.

So you sure you know
how to use this, janet?

Of course.
Your stepmom is insistent

that all staff know how
to monitor the grounds.

Okay, so that is 9:37,
right after breakfast.

Oh, okay, there she is,

and she is obviously
going somewhere.

Where would she go?

Someone had to pick her up.

She didn't just
walk anywhere, right?

Well, they would have to
drive up right to the house.

Well, not if they
didn't want to be seen.

Yeah, but mrs. Jones
would've been aware

she was being captured
on camera.

So then she must have told
whomever it was

to wait outside the gate.

No, mm-mm.

That doesn't add up either.

If she was trying to disappear,

she would have shut off
the cameras completely.

No one would've
questioned that.

And no one would have any idea

that she was gonna leave
through the front gate.

Do we call the police?

And say what?

Uh, mrs. Jones is missing?

But she's not.

She's not missing.
She's right there.

She left of her own volition.
There's no violence.

There's no sign of foul play.

The police are just gonna
laugh in our faces with this.

But what about the fact that
her phone's been disconnected?

People change numbers
all of the time.

Phones get disconnected because
somebody hasn't paid a bill.

Then what do we do?

I don't know there's anything
that we can do, except to wait.

Wait? Wait for what?

For robin to return,
of course.

I understand this is probably
not my place to say anything,

but I have to say right now
in front of everyone,

this doesn't feel right.

No. No, it doesn't.

I think I've seen you more
over the last few weeks

than I have
in my entire life.

So, um...

How are things going
with the lovely miss jones?

Progressing.

Although she did figure out
who I am.

Well, doesn't really
matter anymore.

Excuse me?

As far as I'm concerned,
your work with her is over.

I-I don't understand.

I got what I needed.

Your work is done.

Here.

But how?

Oh, lance, come on.

You didn't really think I would
leave something so important

up to just you, did you?

I mean, that would be
grossly irresponsible.

No.

I had to make sure
I got what I needed

one way or another.

And I did.

Though not from you.

Then what's this?

That? That's for you.

Use it in good health
or don't.

I don't really care.

This is a generous amount.

Well, I'm hoping
it does the trick.

The trick?

That, my dear son...

Is your inheritance.

After this...

I never want to see you...

Ever again.

You're a son of a bitch,
you know that?

No.

You are.

[static]

pam! Pam, come in quickly!

What?

[buzzing]

[static]

computer voice: Hello, ladies.

My apologies
for disturbing you,

but I'm afraid I'm going to
need your undivided attention.

[whimpers]
help me, please!

Computer voice: As you can see,

I've had the pleasure of making
your stepmother's acquaintance.

What happens to her,
that's up to you.

If you follow my instructions
very carefully,

she will be released unharmed.

Good.

Now that I have
your attention,

please listen carefully.

If you disobey
any of my instructions,

I will tell you where you can
pick her up in pieces.

Help!

[doorbell ringing]

come in, come in.
Your sisters are already here.

So what do we do now,
just wait for the banks to open?

[pam laughs]

kayla, this isn't
the kind of transaction

you just make
with the tellers.

I'm sorry.

Why don't you all just go home
and get some rest?

I'm gonna make some phone calls.

I'm gonna get this process
started.

And then what?

Then we wait
and hope for the best.

And prepare for the worst.

And if they double-cross us,
god help them.

[liquid pouring]

[dish clatters]

[sighs]

you just got home?

Yeah, just a few minutes ago.

Is it done?

Yeah, it's done.

Do you think
they'll bring her back?

I hope so.

Why? I wouldn't.

Well, I'm hoping they're
not as heartless as you

[laughs]

just kidding.

How long do we have
to wait here for?

They said that they would
return her unharmed at noon,

and it is... Five after.

I don't think they're gonna pull
up to the gate and let her go.

I mean, it wouldn't make sense.

Well none of this
makes sense, so...

That's for sure.

Look, I say we wait
five more minutes,

and then we contact them.

We don't have a way
to contact them.

Every time they contact me,

it's with a temporary
email address,

and then that goes dead.

- What are we supposed to do?
- Oh, my god!

Mrs. Jones! Mrs. Jones!

Oh, my god! Grab her!

- Robin, are you okay?
- Are you hurt?

Oh, my god!

- Where'd they leave you?
- Talk to us.

I'm fine, I'm fine. I just...
I just need to catch my breath.

- Okay.
- I'll grab some water.

Come on, come on.

Take your time.

Over here.

Sit, sit, sit, sit.

Where did they take you?

I don't know.
They just dropped me off

and told me to keep walking
and not to look back.

Did you see anyone? Do you
have any idea who took you?

I never saw them.
Whenever...

Whenever they came in
the room,

they put this thick velvet hood
over my head.

How did they
communicate with you?

It wasn't a human voice.

It was like, um...

Like one of those programs
where they type it in

and then the computer
voices it.

- Here, drink.
- Thank you.

I don't know why
I'm so thirsty.

They gave me plenty
to eat and drink.

Did they hurt you at all?

No, not at all.

They kept asking me
if I needed anything.

They told me that as long as
the ransom was paid

that I would be returned
unharmed.

- Did you pay it?
- Of course.

Thank you.

I don't know
how I can ever thank you.

All of you.

[sighs]

maybe we should
get you to a doctor.

No, no, no, I'm fine.

Then we should go to a police
station now that you're back.

No, no, no.

No, no, they warned me.

They said that you all should
check your company email

at exactly one o'clock,

that you would be receiving
a message from them.

So what do we do now?

If y'all don't mind,

I could use a stiff scotch.

- [soft laughter]
- I'll be right back.

Narrator:
Thanks to the sisters,

robin is home, safe and sound.

How much danger
was she really in?

That's a story
for another time.

Hi.

Yeah. Fine.

We have to wait and see.

But right now,
they don't suspect a thing.

[chuckles]

next time on
keeping up with the joneses...

Looking good!

Ah, feeling good!

You make me so happy.

Ditto.

Why do I get the feeling

there are things
you're just not telling me?

[gasps]
look out!

Because there are.

To the family.

To the family.
