[intriguing music]

As president and vice president
of the resident council,

we are deeply concerned
with safety issues at Pacific View.

Right, Charles?

Well, we feel--

Helen's necklace was stolen,
then Elliott's watch.

Who knows what else?

If crime is not addressed,
things can spiral quickly.

Personally, I don't want
to get mugged in the buffet line

or sex trafficked on the Dark Web.

That seems unlikely.

Charles, give them our demands.

We would like extra--

Extra locks on the doors,

roaming security guards,
motion detection lights.

That's just for starters.

As Didi probably mentioned,
we don't have unlimited resources,

but why don't you and the council
write up a security proposal,

and then we, in the corporate office,
will try and figure out a viable solution?

Well...

- That seems--
- Fine!

Let's go, Charles.

[Charles] Susan's kind of a bully.

I know I'm only vice president.

She won't even let me finish--

This is bad.

If Susan makes a stink about safety,
she could drive the thief underground.

We need to entice
the thief to strike again.

Hey, your birthday is coming up, right?

Aw. You want to buy something nice for me?

Uh, thanks. I'm gonna. Hey--

Hey, my daughter.

[all] Froggy!

[laughs] Hi, everyone.

I brought birthday cupcakes.

- Aw.
- Nice.

Also, Dad, I know
it's a couple weeks away,

but... I got you a present.

Oh my God. Isn't she a peach?

Nice.

Oh my gosh. Look at that.

[all gasping]

That's a Rolex.

- [whistles]
- Oh, sweetheart.

That must have cost you a fortune.

Yeah, well, nothing's too good for my dad.

Thank you so much.

Oh, wonderful, Froggy.

This is a really good fake.

That's because it's real.

Really? Huh.

- Look how good it looks on my wrist.
- You can't keep the watch, Charles.

I know.

Put it on the table
so I can check the camera angle.

Are you sure word will get around?

We heard about the watch.
Where's the watch? Ooh.

- Oh, can we see the watch?
- Yes, you can. [laughs]

Ah, look at this, Peggy.

[Peggy] Mm.

- It's real.
- [gasps]

[Beverly] It's a real Rolex! [laughs]

It's been four days.
Sure this is gonna work?

Nope.

If it doesn't, we'll try something else.

[Charles] Can I ask you something?

Why'd you choose this as a career?

I like solving puzzles,
and this is more fun than accounting.

I like solving puzzles too.

Victoria was much
more emotionally intuitive,

but I... I need a project to focus on,
or I just feel like I'm floating.

- [phone dings]
- Motion alert.

- Can you see who it is?
- No, but someone is in your room.

[Julie] Wh... It's still here.

What the hell?

We've got another problem.

Thief didn't take a watch.
They left a watch.

Elliott's watch.

The one that got stolen
right after I moved in.

You know what that means.

I hope. 'Cause I don't.

[theme music]

[Julie] This is a real pro.

They stayed out of range of camera,

left the Rolex, and used Elliott's
stolen watch to send you a message.

What's the message again?

That they know who you are
and what you're up to.

Right. Right. Right.

This wasn't the most sophisticated trap
I've ever laid,

but they saw right through it.

What do we do with Elliott's watch?

Do we give it back to him?

Turn it in to Didi?

- What do we do?
- Give me a second to think.

Okay.

This is so exciting.

Shh.

- It feels like real spy stuff.
- I literally beg you to shut up.

Okay. This is what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna put this
where the cleaning crew can find it.

Thief is sending us a message.
We're gonna send one back.

You're damn right.

What's the message?

We know what you're doing,
and we're not gonna give up.

- Yeah.
- When they find it, Susan will calm down.

Didi will feel vindicated,
and then we wait and see their next move.

Okay.

Could anyone have seen who came in?

My neighbor, Gladys,
sometimes has her door open.

- I'll check in with her in the morning.
- [Julie] Good. Okay.

Where do I put this?

[mysterious music]

[Didi] Toby found it on the patio.

It must have fallen off
while you were smoking.

Yeah, or Toby took it
and felt guilty and brought it back.

Don't talk about my staff that way.
Please?

Okay, so, everybody happy?

No.

Well, you're never happy.

But are you at least back
to your baseline level of unhappiness?

[snarls]

Virginia gave me this watch.

I remember.

It didn't just fall off my wrist.

I would have noticed.

- [soft knocking]
- Hi, neighbor.

You excited about celebrating
our birthdays?

- It's your birthday, darling?
- [Charles] Yes, ma'am.

And since you were a costume designer,

I was hoping that you could help me find
a nice outfit for the big group party.

You could use some help
in that department. [laughs]

Let's get you a look.

No.

You really wore this?

[laughing]

Yuck.

Jeez, Gladys. Go easy on me, here.

[gasps in amazement]

Tweed with elbow pads.

This reads professor
all the way to the balcony.

Oh, the elbow pad needs a little work.

I... I could do it,
but my sewing machine is broken.

Well, let's take a look at it.

I can fix pretty much anything.

Wonderful.

Oh. Oh my gosh. Look at that. Adorable.

Oh, this looks exactly
like my old dog, Bunchy.

Yes, you mentioned.
The other night at the art show.

Hm.

[Florence] So, that's the one you like?

- ["Pony" by Ginuwine playing]
- Biceps, big face.

What's his name?

Uh... Cherry Tater?

I don't know his name.
I just know his abs.

He looks like a sexy bullet.

Mm-hm.

Look. I gotta go to the store

and buy Charles
a Brita filter for his birthday.

I'll go with you.
We'll make a day out of it.

You ready now?

Yeah. Wait.

♪ Just once if I had the chance ♪

♪ The things I would do to you ♪

Okay, now I'm ready.

[laughing] Oh, no, it's Tanning Chattam.

- Ah.
- Chatting Talon.

Something like that. Who cares?

Excuse me, Miss Flo.
May I borrow Virginia for a minute?

- We're going out.
- A second. It's important.

It's all right, Ginny.
I haven't done my Wordle yet.

Thanks.

- Come here.
- [sighs]

What do you want?

They say in order to have
a successful relationship,

you... you have to fall in love
with the same person over and over.

We should take another bite of the apple.

Let's get married again.

- For God's sakes.
- No, I'm serious.

Look, I... Ah, I'd get down on one knee,

but my arthritis has turned my kneecaps
into volleyballs. Here.

It's a vintage ruby.

It's your birthstone.

I love you. I...

We're perfect for each other.
You know it, and I know it.

That sounds familiar. [gasps]

That's because I said that a month
before you broke it off with me.

I don't know what's gotten into you,
but you can kick rocks.

Flo Jo, the Wordle is "clamp."

Let's get going.

[gentle music]

Yep. This little screw's loose.

I think I can fix it.

Yes, the machine is broken.

[Charles] Right.

You know, I was also wondering,
someone, um, left a gift in my room,

and I don't know who it's from.

I was just wondering if you noticed anyone
around my door about seven o'clock.

Georgie, I only prick you with these pins
'cause you won't stand still.

Pardon?

It's not my fault
you're always late for rehearsal

and you keep tearing this
in the same spot.

What are you doing here?

Where's Georgie?

It's... it's Charles.

Charles Nieuwendyk.

We're... we're here trying
to fix my jacket for the party.

Remember?

Gladys?

Do you know where you are right now?

Gladys, this is your apartment.

You're at Pacific View in San Francisco.

This is your room.

Do you see your posters?

And the awards you won?

[solemn music]

[breathes deeply]

[shakily] Could you get me a cookie?

Sure. Sure.

Mm.

Hey, have you noticed anything

going on with Gladys lately?

She's had memory issues for a while.

Word is she's headed to the Neighborhood.

They're probably waiting
for a room to open up.

Hey, maybe we should try
to rally the troops a little.

You know, spend some time with her.

She's always by herself.

That's a hard sell.

When people get a whiff you're headed
to memory care, they start to back away.

Like they think it's contagious.

That's awful.

She's been here how many years?

Then one day, her friends
just stop talking to her just like that?

Just like that.

[Virginia] Maybe in here.

- [Florence] Hope he has a good one.
- Yeah.

Oh.

- Arwan!
- Arwan!

Hello, ladies.

We're looking for a Brita filter.

Aisle four, right-hand side.

- Aha.
- Good. Kids good?

Hmm.

- Ooh, Twinkies.
- Too much sugar. You'll get the zoomies.

Why does Charles want a filter?

It's his birthday,
so he gets whatever he wants.

At our age, everyone should get
whatever they want.

[gasps]

- ["Love Train" by The O'Jays]
- Oh, Ginny, they're playing our song.

Hey.

- Hey, girl. Here we go.
- ♪ People all over the world ♪

- [laughing]
- ♪ Join hands ♪

- Give me some hip!
- ♪ Join the love train ♪

Yeah, we are!

- ♪ People all over the world join in ♪
- Hey!

- ♪ ...love train, love train ♪
- [music fades out]

[man] All right, Elliott.

[sighs]

So, the PSA levels left a little doubt,

but the biopsy result is conclusive.

It's back, right?

It's back, yes.

You know what?

I've had a good run.

Been to the Grand Canyon.

Never had to go to Europe.
Dodged that bullet.

Bo Derek once told me
I looked like Harrison Ford.

[laughing]

I caught a 480-pound marlin
off the Florida Keys.

And I won a charity auction

and played tennis with Jimmy Connors
and Robert Wagner.

I've had a good life.

[doctor] And it's not over.

'Kay, we've been here before, you and I.

We'll go at it aggressively.
You're generally in good health.

Except for the cancer.

My point is, let's be optimistic, 'kay?

You have a lot to live for.

Focus on that.

So, what do you want?

You said everyone should have
whatever they want.

What do you want?

It's not my birthday.

I know that. I mean, just in general.

What do you want?

Well...

I've always wanted one
of those fancy foot massagers

from the gadget store.

[chuckles]

Ah.

I've been wanting one of those
for 20 years.

Twenty years?

What else have you been denying yourself?

Just buy it.

It's too expensive.

[sighs]

Ooh.

Arwan. ATM working?

But, girl.

[buttons beep]

Flo Jo, you can afford the foot massager.

You are stinkin' rich.
How have you never told me this?

I don't like talking about money.

It's a jinx.

[laughing] Oh my God.
What would you do without me?

- Come on.
- I don't like you telling my business.

[slow sad music]

[phone dings]

[soft knocking]

Hi there, Gladys.

Hello, darling.

Hey. I could use a favor.

My jacket has this elbow patch that's
flopping around like a basset hound.

Can you help?

Sure. But my sewing machine is broken.

Well, let me take a look at it.
I can fix just about anything.

Oh!

Hey, Gladys.

You like games?

Love 'em.

I used to play liar's poker all night long
down at the White Horse Tavern.

Liar's poker.

That's with dollar bills, right?

If you're a cheapo, sure. [laughs]

Hey, I got a quick question.

Now, if I have ten dollars,

and I give you four,
how many do I have left?

Do you want to play or not?

Sure. Sure, sure. Okay.

That's for you.

All right. I'll start. Um...

Two threes.

It's your turn.

You need to try to beat this
with a higher hand.

You remember, the serial numbers?

I know what I have to do.

I-- I don't want to do it.

I, I, I'm very busy.

Okay. All right.

How about another game, then?
It's called, um, "animal, animal."

See, I name an animal,
and then you name an animal.

- We go back and forth.
- Stop! I don't want you here!

- Stop!
- I will. I will stop. I'm...

I'm sorry.

I will.

- Where are we putting this, ladies?
- That corner, maybe.

How's this?

Would you mind bending down
and plugging it in?

Sure thing, honey.

[sighs]

[sighs]

Here.

Thank you for delivering
such a bulky shipment.

You ladies have a nice day, all right?

[giggling]

[door closes]

Oh, Ginny. I made a huge mistake.

I should have just bought
the foot massager.

The only mistake you made
is not getting one of these sooner.

You're the poet, right?

"Tell me what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life."

Mary Oliver.

[gasps] You read it?

Yeah. You told me to read it,
so I read it.

And I told you to buy this damn chair,
and you bought it.

So sit.

I'll try it one time.

But I've never paid this much
for a luxury item.

Tomorrow, I'm gonna call that store,
and I'm gonna tell...

- [chair whirs]
- Ooh.

Ooh, baby.

[laughing]

Why did I wait so long to do this?

[laughs]

- [melancholy music]
- [sighs]

[Charles] Hello, Gladys.

I'm sorry that I upset you before,
and I want to make it up to you.

Gladys is taking it easy right now.
Maybe try talking to her tomorrow.

No, it's just that
I got her a birthday present.

And I was hoping to...

I'll be right back, Gladys.
Do you need more tea?

She's not feeling great right now.
Better in the morning.

This is a... a bit timely.

I found out Saint Ignatius High School
is doing a production of Guys and Dolls.

So I got us tickets tonight.

I thought she could hear
the old songs, you know?

I'm not sure she'd be up to a trip,
especially at night.

No, no, it's, it's...

My late wife,
she went through this, so I know.

I understand it.

And it helped her to see things
that were... that were familiar.

Look, there are exercises.

There are games.
Things that you can do to help.

And we're doing them. I promise.

Charles, your instincts here,
they're so kind.

But you just met Gladys.

She barely knows you.

It's not the same.

- [upbeat music]
- [indistinct chatting and laughing]

- Happy birthday, Charles.
- Thank you.

[birds chirping]

Not going to your own party?

Don't feel like celebrating.

Have you heard about Gladys?

[sighs]

Yeah, she's toast.

This thing where people pull away,
I can't take it.

I tried to give Gladys a special night

that could also... jog her memory.

I got her tickets
to a high school musical.

[scoffs]

Genius idea.

Nothing soothes the troubled mind
like a bunch of 15-year-olds in tap shoes.

Why do you care so much?

You met her like two weeks ago.

[Charles] I can't help it.

I see a problem on one end

and a solution on the other,

and I try to connect it
with a straight line.

You know, I've lived here
almost five years,

and I've seen countless people die

and go to the hospital,

disappear into memory care.

And you know me. I'm a nice guy.

You punched me in the face.

But after the fifth, tenth,
20th person moves on...

this becomes part
of the background of your life.

It's where we are, Charles.

You just don't understand

because it's your first time
dealing with dementia.

Second, actually.

Your wife?

Some things can't be fixed.

The sooner you get that,

the sooner you stop drowning
in your own guilt.

I'm gonna go get drunk.

Happy birthday, dumbass.

- [soft jazz music]
- [indistinct chatter]

Thank you.

Having a nice time?

Fantastic.

Drinking, dancing, and, best of all,
you weren't around to ruin it.

- You have somewhere else better to be?
- I was talking to Charles, actually.

If he's next on your hit list,

I begrudgingly approve.

He seems like a nice guy.

Oh, Elliott.

How bad is it? What did the doctor say?

The doc's all positivity and sunshine.

He's... Says I have a lot to live for.

He's right.

I know I'm a horse's ass.

With breath like...
What did you say that time?

- Burnt leather.
- Right, thanks.

I'm sorry.

Not just for
the last couple of weeks, but...

for all of it.

I'm really sorry, Ginny.

I think I know a cowgirl

who would

love to dance with a horse's ass.

Did you ever see that?

No, I haven't.

Oh, yeah, it's really wonderful.

The wedding scene.

That one, I loved... loved that dress.

Hello, ladies.

Hello, darling. Sit. Sit.

Could I get some tea?

Sure. I'll be right back.

Hi, Gladys.

Hey.

How you feeling?

Um, I'm okay.

I'm a bit tired these days.

Mm.

I miss my old personality.

I know.

Is this your sketchbook?

Yes.

All of my costume designs,
starting in the '60s.

You wouldn't believe
some of the stories. [laughs]

I'd love to hear them.

[Gladys] This is from the musical Chess.

I had so many fights
with the director over the wardrobe.

My wife took me to Chess.

I remember the rhinestone costumes
twirling around.

Got me a little dizzy.

- That's what I was going for.
- [both laugh]

Oh, this is my dog, Bunchy.

- He used to sit at my feet while I sewed.
- Mm.

Oh, what's this musical?

Oh, these are just some of my friends.

Oh, this is Florence.

[Charles] Mm. Yeah.

This is my friend Charles.

He's very handsome
but kind of a know-it-all.

He sure is.

- Oh.
- Oh.

- Elliott.
- Elliott.

- Ooh, stinky...
- Yeah. [chuckles]
