SAUL: You're leaving town? - Just for one day. I'm not moving away.
Why are you suddenly running to Berkeley?
I told you. There is a residential facility
that provides housing for cancer patients.
I'm going to take a tour, get some ideas.
I see. This has nothing to do with Roger?
- Roger who? - You know the one.
The architect with the wife.
Nora, it's okay if you wanna be upset that you broke up with him.
I'm not upset about Roger.
Well, you're upset about something, honey.
Okay, fine.
- You want to know where I'm going? - Yeah.
- To see Ryan. - Ryan? Ryan Lafferty?
He called me. George told him William is his father, his biological father.
I mean, George is his father. George raised him.
But the point is, the kid's upset.
He needs someone to fill in the blanks. He needs to talk to me.
What happened to all of your misgivings?
He called me ten times and hung up
before he had the nerve to say anything to me. He's upset.
Right. So you're gonna go up there and rescue him.
I really don't need your sarcasm right now.
I'm sorry, but I am trying to understand
what it is you think you're gonna accomplish by going there.
I don't know.
He needs to talk to someone. William isn't exactly available.
Yeah, but it's William's mess that you're cleaning up.
Yes, I know.
And I didn't ask for it, but Ryan reached out to me.
I'm not going to ignore him.
You don't even know this boy, Nora. You don't know what he wants.
No, I don't know him, but I know he's a sophomore at Berkeley.
He's about to take his final exams. He probably wants good grades
and a cute girlfriend or boyfriend.
- Aren't you the least bit curious? - No, I'm not.
I am.
I know.
I hope you know what you're doing.
Okay, you actually told Kitty you were running for governor?
I didn't so much tell her as agree when she guessed.
Okay, and she didn't say anything?
She said she needed to think about it. What's that?
Oh, Washington Standard wants a quote
about the economic stimulus package on Californians.
- What did she do then? - She went to bed.
- She was asleep when I left. - I hope you told her I was under orders
- not to say anything. - Didn't come up. This seems good.
This seems good. The whole Kitty situation:
- A ticking time bomb. - Would you stop?
She's processing it. And this is not some big revelation.
This is something that she knows that I've been wanting.
She... No, no.
Would you just go take that to Wendy.
Incoming. Incoming.
- Oh, hi. - Hi.
- I didn't see you. - We made eye contact.
- We did? - Kevin, are you hiding from me?
Subtle.
So, what's going on?
Oh. Oh, oh.
Spitballing campaign managers.
You know, if you need any suggestions, I have plenty.
Great, great.
Look, I know you and Robert talked about the whole governor thing.
I just wanted you to know that I was under strict orders not to...
It's fine. I would have done the same thing if I had been in your position.
- You're not here to yell at me? - No. I'm here to get some video clips
from Red, White & Blue off of my computer.
Actually, you know what? It's your computer now.
- Oh, that's great. What for? - I told you twice.
I have an interview with Barbara Whitaker from The Times.
Oh, listen, you do any more interviews for that book,
you're gonna be personally responsible for the deforestation of the planet.
Listen, if she needs an interview,
I'm happy to give her a quote about how lucky I am.
And he is. I mean, I am. We all are very... So, so lucky.
Right. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna be late, and I have to get the clips so I don't...
You know. Okay, bye.
See?
[IMITATES CLOCK TICKING]
Promise.
Seriously, this isn't funny anymore. I have no idea where you are.
Will you please just call me back?
[BEEPS]
Look, if you don't want to call, send me a text
to let me know you're okay. Or at least what hemisphere you're in.
[BEEPS]
Maybe your ringer's off. You know, sometimes, you accidentally disable it?
There's that button on the side.
[BEEPS]
Look, we both said things that maybe we shouldn't have,
but you cannot just ignore me, Rebecca. I mean, we have to be able to talk...
COMPUTERIZED VOICE: I'm sorry. Mailbox full.
[BEEPING]
REBECCA: Hey. - Hey.
I didn't know if you needed to get that. It's rung a few times.
No. It's okay. What time is it?
- Noon. - Oh, my god. I didn't mean to sleep in.
Don't worry about it. It's 9 for you anyway.
Where are you off to?
I have to go to this gallery, hang a few prints.
- Are you having a show? - I'm part of one.
- Just a few shots on a wall. - Wow, maybe I could come.
It would take me three minutes to get dressed...
No, no, no. I'm just setting some things up.
- It's pretty boring stuff. Sleep in. - Well, what gallery is it?
Hadler & Martin's. It's just down Hudson a ways.
Look, I didn't know what your plans were,
so I left you some keys.
Now you can come and go as you please.
Thanks.
Um...
Maybe we could do dinner or something?
Yeah. Yeah, that'd be great. We can catch up then, you know?
- We'll do takeout if you want. - Yeah, great.
- All right. I'll see you later. - Okay.
[PHONE RINGING]
- Excuse me. I'm looking for Ryan Lafferty. - He's right over there.
- Excuse me. - Oh, sorry.
- You can take any table. - Ryan?
Yeah.
I'm Nora.
Nora Walker. You called me. We talked on the phone.
What are you doing here?
Well... Yeah, isn't that...? Isn't that what we discussed?
- Is it? - Remember, you said you had
your political sci... Your poli-sci paper. - That you couldn't write?
- So we talked about my coming up? - Right. Yeah. We... We talked about that.
I'm sorry, I just didn't know it was happening today.
I'm sorry, maybe I misunderstood.
It's okay. I'm just a little shocked.
- Ryan, if you don't wanna do this, it's fine. - No, no, no. I do.
- I don't want to intrude. - It's okay, really.
Thing is, I don't get off until 3 today, so...
Well, that's okay. I don't have anything else planned.
Okay.
Well, can I get you a coffee, or a latte or something?
Oh, coffee would be good... Black coffee.
ROBERT: Hey.
What are you doing lurking outside?
Hi. Um...
So Kitty did that interview this morning, and The Times sent some quotes over,
and they were just wondering if you'd care to comment.
You know the whole ticking-time-bomb thing I talked abou...?
I mean, this isn't, you know:
[IMITATES EXPLOSION]
It's... This is a cherry bomb in someone's locker.
- Let me see it. - I'm pretty sure they're out of context.
I mean, you know, once it's put into the profile,
it'll make a lot more sense.
- I doubt it. - I have crafted some responses.
You know, the kind that we can just spin into Kitty being Kitty.
- Just kill it. - Ki... Uh, excuse me?
- Kill the story. - That's a little extreme.
Maybe you'd wanna talk to Kitty first.
After this meeting, I'll talk to Kitty. You take care of that.
Hey, it's on me.
I don't know if you like apple fritters or not, but...
- Thank you. - Oh, I found someone to cover my shift,
- so I should be done really soon. - Great, that's fine. Just take your time.
Okay.
- He brought me an apple fritter. - He makes apple fritters?
No, he works here at a coffeehouse. He's putting himself through college.
And I think that's very impressive.
I'm gonna pick you up tonight at the airport.
We'll have dinner, you'll fill me in on everything, okay?
- I'm not coming home tonight. - What do you mean? What happened?
We haven't had a moment to sit down and talk.
I was prepared for this. I got a room at a bed-and-breakfast.
I knew it. I knew that you would get entangled.
I'm not entangled. You're not entangled?
- You just extended your trip, Nora. - Saul... Gotta go.
Well, my replacement showed up. I'm done.
Great.
- So. - So.
I'm really sorry if I was rude to you when you came in.
That's all right. It's not every day you meet your...
- Whatever I am. - My father's widow.
Your biological father's widow. Yes.
Yeah, my daughter Kitty is adopting a baby,
so we're all very aware
that your real parents are the ones who raise you.
Really? Because I'm feeling kind of caught in the middle
- of all that right now. - Yeah, I bet.
Ryan.
I hope this is all right,
but I brought you some pictures I thought maybe you'd like to look at.
Well, now, that would make it all real, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
- So this is him? - Yes.
That's William.
God, this is so weird. He's sort of exactly how I pictured him.
- Did you know about my mom? - No, I didn't.
- So how did you find out? - That's a long story.
That's okay.
- Rebecca, hey. - Hey, I was just walking down Hudson,
and I saw the sign, so I thought I'd stop in and say hi.
- Unless you're busy, I can... - No, no, actually, it's perfect timing.
- I could use your help. - Oh, cool.
Yeah, would you...? Would you hold that up for me?
Yeah, sure.
Thanks.
Oh, wow, this is amazing.
- Oh, thanks. - Is it yours?
Yeah, I took that about a month ago.
[PHONE RINGING]
- You can get that if you want. - No, no, it's okay.
It's probably not important.
All right, thanks. Great. Thank you.
Oh, and, you know, I was in such a daze this morning,
I'm sorry I forgot to say thanks for letting me stay with you.
Well, you don't have to thank me. You're... You're my kid, right?
Um... So, what do you think of this one?
- Um, it's nice. - It's nice?
All right, got it.
But, I mean, still, we don't have, you know, your average father-daughter relationship.
Huh? Wha...? Oh, no, we don't.
I mean, I'm sure you didn't appreciate me showing up on your doorstep like that.
Well, I mean, I can't say
you were the first person I was expecting to see.
- Thought I was an angry ex-Iover? - That thought did cross my mind.
Speaking of which, how's your mom?
- What's she think about you being here? - She doesn't know.
- Got it. - We've been getting along great recently.
- Seriously. - I believe you.
So how's she doing? Does she still hate me?
No, she doesn't hate you. She knows that you left
so I could continue to pretend to be a Walker.
But now, you know, they all know that I'm not.
- Seriously? - Yeah.
- Since when? - Since shortly after you left.
So do you still see them, the Walkers?
Well, that's a funny story.
Well, Justin and I, you know, were friends,
and then found out we weren't related, so, um...
You're dating Justin? Wow.
- I don't know if it's a "wow" thing, but... - Well, I didn't see it coming.
Is that...? Is that who's been calling?
Yeah, probably.
So you're in New York, what, to just see friends?
Am I just the crash pad?
Actually, I came to see you.
- Is that okay to say? - Is it...? Is it okay to say?
I mean, is it okay that I'm here to see you?
Yeah, of course it is.
Great.
Hey, Rebecca, it's me again.
I would love to hear from you and know that you're okay.
So, um, call me when you get the chance.
I love you.
Justin, did you guys have a fight?
- No, no. Look, that's... - I'm not here to judge you.
I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this.
Holly, I told you, I don't know why she split, all right?
Rebecca mentioned a girl named Chelsea.
God, Chelsea's my sponsee, and it's over. It's got nothing to do with this.
- What does? - I don't know.
Justin, you're her boyfriend. She hasn't called you?
Well, she's not calling you.
- I mean, how's your relationship? - Good, actually.
Oh, it is? Oh, that's great. How's work?
- What does that mean? - Nothing.
- Justin, you're not telling me the truth. - You're calling me a liar now?
Yeah, because I know that you're hiding something.
That might work with other people...
Wait, is that why you came here, to blame me?
I am not the cause of Rebecca's problems.
- And I certainly did not drive her away. - I hope not.
You know, I'm sick of putting up with your crap.
Justin, you know, I don't really care what you think about me.
This is about Rebecca.
So why don't you call me if you feel like helping?
So all this time, you thought Rebecca was William's kid?
- It all added up to that. - And this woman, Holly,
you didn't find out about her until after he died?
- No, I knew something, not everything. - But you didn't say anything?
I did once. He told me all about it, promised to end it.
- I thought I was gullible. - Yeah.
And you never knew anything about my mother?
No, nothing.
So how many were there? Were there others?
I don't know.
- Maybe. I don't know. - Yeah. You don't know much, do you?
You know, the one thing I've been hanging on to
is this stupid hope that whatever my mother did,
maybe it was worth it, he was worth it.
God, he sounds like a real jerk.
Maybe that's not the right word. Maybe "pig" is better.
Ryan,
there's nothing you can call him that I haven't already called him myself.
But he was not all bad, I swear to you.
Oh, it's a lot to process. It's just gonna take time.
All of my children reacted exactly the same way.
- They got through it. - I'm not one of your children.
- No, I know, I know. - I don't need a mother.
I already have one. And just because she's dead, doesn't...
- I know that, Ry... I didn't mean... - This has all been very informative,
and I really appreciate you coming up here,
but I have a final tomorrow.
So I'm gonna go study. Okay?
- This one's great. What freeway is this? - Well, we call it a "highway" here.
It's actually the 95 South. I took that about 4 a.m.
What were you doing under a highway at 4 a. M?
Well, actually, I was coming back from a party.
- Oh, God. - Yeah, this is the photograph
that got me into this show.
Somebody from Dia: Beacon saw it and, you know,
- it just generated a little bit of buzz. - Oh, you've got buzz.
Yeah, a tempered buzz.
- What about you? How are you doing? - Oh, you know, actu...
[PHONE RINGING]
I guess I should answer.
You know what? I'm gonna go put these away.
Okay.
- Hey. - Where the hell are you?
I'm visiting friends. How are you doing?
Um, I don't know. My girlfriend disappears to go visit a so-called friend
and won't return my calls.
How do you think I'm doing, Rebecca?
- Like, where are you? - I'm fine. You can stop worrying.
Good. Maybe you can get that message to your mom
so she doesn't pay me any more nasty visits.
- Wait, you talked to my mom? - No. We didn't talk.
She just accused, as if this thing is my fault.
But you didn't tell her anything about what I told you about Tommy?
What, about you hacking into his computer without him knowing?
- No, I left that part out. - I can't do this, sorry. Talk to you later.
Everything okay?
Yeah, no. I mean, no one died, so...
That's good.
You know what? I'm gonna change this picture out.
Okay.
[BUTTONS BEEPING]
[PHONE BEEPING]
Hey, Tommy, have you heard from Rebecca?
No, I gotta call her. We're supposed to go over
this trade-show brochure this morning.
So she didn't say anything to you about going out of town?
- No, did she? - I don't know.
I got this mysterious text message from her
saying she was out of town for a few days,
- staying with a friend. - I'm sure she's okay.
Well, I don't know what to think.
This is what she would always do when she was younger.
She would drop off the face of the earth whenever we had a fight
or whenever she and a boyfriend broke up.
She's not a kid anymore. I'm sure there's some explanation.
I hope so. Let me check her calendar. There might be something there.
- "The Republican Party has lost its way"? - All I meant is it needs to be inclusive.
- Are you kidding? - I'm not the only one to point that out.
"Look, my husband doesn't need an aphrodisiac.
He does just fine with women."
Of all the things that you could've said. Do you know what that projects?
You're worried about what we're projecting?
One reason I lost the nomination
was because of rumors that I kicked my first wife to the curb.
I mean, is it that hard for you to try
to present this marriage as even remotely stable?
Yes. Yes, Robert, it is that hard.
You decided to run for governor without even discussing it with me.
You didn't want to. I told you about it, you went to bed.
Oh, please, you had already made up your mind, and you know it.
- So, what is this? This is payback? - God, you know what?
You always do that. You always try to take the moral high ground.
You're the one who said that the most important things
in a marriage are honesty and honesty. So be honest.
- You're trying to sabotage this. - Is that truly what you're worried about?
You're worried about your candidacy? What about what I said?
What about how I feel about our marriage?
You knew what you were getting into when you married me.
Just because I happened to know that you were ambitious
doesn't mean that you're absolved from considering my point of view.
I consider your point of view. I just don't always agree.
Right, because you don't know what it is.
My God, Robert, just for one second, can't you just put yourself in my shoes?
Then who would be in mine?
Thank you.
I'm sorry. I guess I just felt like I really needed to get away from him.
Yeah, I feel that way a lot, trust me.
Kevin, if you think that insulting Robert is gonna make me feel better, it...
You're right.
Look, Kit, the last thing I wanna do is undermine your marriage.
Oh, come on, Kev, this is not your fault.
I wish it were. I could scream at you, and it would all be over,
but unfortunately, the problems in my marriage have nothing to do with you.
So this is more than just him running for governor?
Yeah, it's... It's a lot of things. I mean, we're about to have a baby.
You know, we should be coming together.
We shou...
Anyway, we're not. We're doing the opposite.
Well, there's a lot of pressure on you guys right now.
Do you know that he thinks I'm sabotaging him?
- That's him being paranoid. - I don't know.
Maybe I did say some things in that interview
that I probably shouldn't have said, but...
It's not like I did it on purpose,
but I don't know. I guess things have to come out somewhere, right?
Right. So if you don't want him to run for governor,
ask him to sit this one out.
- I can't. - Why not?
Because he'll say no.
Well, I hope it beats takeout.
Yeah, by far. I didn't mean for you to go to all this trouble.
Are you kidding? I mean, it's the least I could do.
- You're putting me up. - So are you ever gonna tell me
what exactly prompted this trip?
I told you, I wanted to visit.
So you just woke up yesterday in L.A.
And, I don't know, I guess you were looking at a couple days off
and you thought, "I think it's time for me and my dad
to start spending some time together." Or what?
Well, obviously, I think about you.
You know, having a relationship with you. I mean, no pressure.
I guess I just... I wanted to hang out with you, like we did today.
But you didn't start with an e-mail or a phone call.
- You just... You just hopped on a plane. - I guess I should've called.
I'm just wondering if there's something
going on back home that has to do with you being here.
Um...
I wanted to get to know my father. Isn't that enough?
I don't know. You're not answering your phone.
Your mom doesn't know you're here.
Well, it seems to me like you're bolting from someone.
Everything is fine at home. I'm not bolting.
Well, you're talking to a professional here. You know, I know it when I see it.
Why are you being like this?
Because I feel like you're playing games with me,
and I would really appreciate it
if you would show me a little more respect than that.
Yeah, I left L.A. For you so you could have your mom and the Walkers.
And, you know, you got what you wanted.
But now, after all this time, you suddenly drop back into my life,
what, no pressure, just to hang out?
- I didn't think it would be such a problem. - I'm trying to figure you out, Rebecca.
I mean, what is it that you want from me?
Do you want me to be a dad? Do you want me to be a friend?
- What is it that you want from me? - I don't know.
Nothing.
This was a mistake. I should never have come here.
Rebecca.
- Rebecca. - My mom was right.
You only care about yourself.
[DOOR CLOSES]
- Thanks for letting me just drop by. - No problem. Come on in.
I was surprised to get your phone call. Can I get you a drink?
No, I'm fine. I don't wanna take up any more of your time.
Oh, it's no problem.
But I know that you have looked over contracts like this a hundred times.
And I was hoping that maybe you could help explain something to me.
All right, but tell me, what exactly would I be looking at?
Acquisition papers for a deal that's pending.
Recently, we acquired additional orchards up at Ojai, about 2,000 acres.
- Oh, well, that sounds like a smart move. - Hope so.
Okay, but now, this is what concerns me. Let's see, where is it?
Where are you, exactly, with this deal?
Oh, it's with the lawyers in the process of being finalized.
So it says, "Notification of request for change shall be sent to Omni, Inc."
But our deal is with Crawford. So who's Omni, Inc?
- Is that their accounting firm or...? - Off the top of my head,
I would say that Omni, Inc. Is probably the DBA for Crawford.
I mean, I can't picture anybody buying apricots from Omni, Inc.
- So it's probably... - Yeah, okay, okay.
But if that were the case, wouldn't that be on the front of the contract?
Like Ojai Foods, which is the DBA of Ojai Industries,
which is here, very clearly denoted.
- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. - See?
Hm.
You know what? I'm sorry
- that I am bothering you. - No.
I'm gonna take this to the legal department.
- They can look it over in the morning. - No, Holly, it's fine. Come on.
Let me... Let me try and figure this out. I know I can do it.
Okay, let's see.
Omni, Omni. Ah! Here it is.
It's just a holding company for Crawford. Your business is totally with Crawford.
I've seen many contracts just like this.
So, as far as you're concerned, they're just the corporate entity
- that you're doing business with. - Just with Crawford.
Exactly. This looks fine to me. Just fine.
- Thank you. Thank you. - Yeah.
Sure, a pleasure. May I ask you something before you go?
- Yeah, sure. - An acquisition this size,
- and loans are very hard to get... - That's a good question.
We paid with shares. Tommy's and mine.
- I see. - Thanks.
[PHONE RINGS]
Saul, what? I'm asleep.
Oh, Ryan.
Ryan.
- I'm sorry, I didn't know where else to go. - No, I'm glad you came.
I just can't keep doing this, you know?
- I'm trying to hold it all together and... - It's okay, Ryan. It's okay.
No, it's not. It's not okay.
Nothing is the way I thought it was. She was my mom.
We were really close.
But now I feel like I didn't even know her.
She couldn't tell you this. She wanted to protect you.
- How do you know what she wanted? - Because that's what I wanted too.
Really? Did you have an affair?
No. No.
But William and I were married for a very long time,
and even after he told me the affair was over,
there were times when I knew something wasn't right,
and I just looked the other way.
I didn't want my life to change. Or to lose the things that mattered to me.
So every time I got close to suspecting something,
I just...
I just looked the other way.
I wanted to protect my family.
It sounds to me like you just wanted to protect yourself.
God, this was such a mistake.
Ryan, this is not just William's mess.
I was there the whole time.
In some ways, I helped make it.
So I'm partly responsible for what you're going through right now.
And I'm so sorry.
[KNOCKING]
- Hey. - Hi. Can I talk to you a sec?
Yeah, what's up?
- I'm not gonna kill it. - You're not?
No. I think it's a good piece for her.
I think she deserves it, and I think we can deal with
whatever fallout might come from it.
And I think if what she said could damage your campaign,
I would talk to her and do something about it,
but this is about you and Kitty.
If you wanna kill the story, you have to do it yourself.
Okay.
[PEOPLE CHATTERING]
You forgot your scarf.
I'm a big girl. You didn't have to come find me.
I could have let myself in.
Okay, so maybe the scarf was just a big ruse.
And I wanted to tell you that I was out of line back there.
Oh, don't worry about it.
I don't know why I expected anything more from you.
Ouch.
But I shouldn't single you out.
You think I'd be used to people not being there for me. You, Justin,
every other man I've ever been involved with.
I just keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
And I was the original offender.
Why? No, you weren't. You didn't even know you had a daughter.
- I've known for almost a year now. - I asked you to leave. We agreed.
I know, and I shouldn't have agreed.
But I mean, come on, let's be honest. You gave me an out, and I took it.
I let you go.
You know, I don't think it's fair for me
to expect you tonight to just sit down over dinner
and share your problems with me. I haven't earned that yet.
And I'm sorry.
Well, since you are here,
can I tell you about this crazy theory I have about Tommy Walker
trying to drive my mom out of the business?
I'm all ears.
[KNOCKING]
- Hey, what's going on? What's so urgent? - Well, Holly was just at my house.
She was asking me questions about a contract with Crawford Orchards.
- What? - I told you it was a bad deal,
- but you went and did it. - Enough of the "I told you so."
- What exactly did she ask you? - She wanted to know about Omni.
Is that what you did, Tommy? You bought Crawford
- with this holding company? - What did you tell her?
I downplayed it. I told her that Crawford and Omni
- were basically the same thing. - And she was satisfied with that?
- Oh, yes. - Okay, good.
Well, then there's nothing to worry about. The deal's almost done.
Tell me something, Tommy. Where did you get the money to buy this land?
If you did something illegal...
Dad had to borrow from the pension plan. Sometimes you have to bend the rules.
- No, you don't. You don't, Tommy. - Ojai belongs to us. It is our family's.
Dad didn't leave it to Holly. I'm just taking back what's rightfully ours.
We blew it. Do you understand that? I blew it.
The only reason Ojai foods is around today is because of Holly.
She got us out of a bind. It doesn't make it her company.
Oh, yes, it does, Tommy. Yes, it does. That was the deal.
Uncle Saul, I appreciate your advice. I'm thankful that you covered for me.
But it is too late.
The deal's done.
Hi.
Morning.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I didn't confide in you.
I think I was telling myself
that I was waiting until the campaign was a certainty.
But I think the truth of it is,
I was scared you'd say no.
Because what you say means more to me than anybody.
Well, it doesn't always seem like that.
Look, if I have to choose between you and being the governor,
I'm choosing you.
Robert, I know that this is your moment.
And I want you to seize it.
Okay? But I have to be able to speak my mind.
I have to be able to write a book
without worrying about how it's going to affect what you're trying to accomplish.
It just... It has to be okay.
It is okay. It's more than okay.
And this campaign doesn't have to be like the last one.
You can do as much or as little as you want.
We will work around you.
And I don't want to make it harder for you.
And I really am sorry about the article.
I want this to work.
Okay? I'm gonna do whatever I have to do.
Ryan?
I was thinking about what you said last night.
Will you not worry about last night?
I was just having a really bad night, and it's not a big deal.
I wanna help you. I know you don't think I can, and maybe I can't...
I really can't talk about this right now, okay?
Ryan, you have five brothers and sisters who all went through their own version
of what you're going through right now.
So here.
- What's this? - It's a plane ticket. An e-ticket.
I want you to come and meet them.
Come for a day or a weekend, whatever you want.
- I think you'd like them. - You think they'd like me?
Well, I don't know. Why don't you give it a try?
I can't believe you bought me a plane ticket.
You know, you're kind of a spontaneous person.
I didn't use to be.
Will you think about it?
I don't know what to say.
Well, say you'll come. Come this weekend.
Well, I don't have to work tomorrow,
and all my finals are done, except for one,
but that's not until next week.
Well, then come today. Come today, Ryan.
Come on. My house is empty.
It would be like having a library all to yourself.
All right. Okay. All right, all right. Look, you know where I'm staying.
The cab is picking me up at 2.
All you have to do is come by and hop in.
- Are you sure this is a good idea? - Yes. Yes.
Okay.
Okay, but I have to finish up around here first.
All right, you do that.
Ryan, you're not all alone in this. You'll see.
Great.
I moved up my flight.
Oh.
- I figured I'd go deal. - That's probably a good idea.
- Yeah. Thank you for listening last night. - Yeah, it's my pleasure.
You know, I have a friend with a car. I could probably drive you.
Oh, that's all right. The roads are bad. I already asked Howard to get me a cab.
Yeah.
Oh, thank you.
If you need to talk, you'll call, right?
Yeah, for sure. But don't worry about it.
I'll figure it out. And you are so busy out here.
- I'm sure the show's gonna be a huge hit. - From your lips.
- I'll see you soon. - I hope so.
Oh. Almost forgot.
- Bye. - Bye.
- Mrs. Harper... - Holly.
I'm glad you've come to us, and we would certainly be interested
- in helping you from here on out. - From here on out?
You were right to wonder about this Omni corporation.
While it is a legitimate holding company for Crawford Orchards,
and while the deal, technically, is sound, Omni was formed just weeks ago.
- Weeks ago? - Yes.
By your partner, Thomas Walker.
Tommy?
Now, these are the articles of incorporation, filed five weeks ago.
Holly, this deal between Ojai Foods and Crawford Orchards
involves a transfer of shares.
- Oh, my God. - And when this transfer goes through...
The shares will go directly to Tommy.
And he'll have majority ownership of Ojai Foods.
Yes.
He's gonna push me out.
We would like to get into this.
With your permission.
Hey.
Judy, can I call you back? Okay, thanks. Bye.
No, no, no. Sorry. No, no, no.
Come on, I didn't want to interrupt.
Oh, not at all. How are you? Robert said you talked.
We did.
- And? - And he listened.
- You okay? - Yeah, I mean, you know, it's a start.
Look, the reason that I'm here is,
I wanna call Barbara Whitaker at The Times, and I just wanna...
I don't know. I just wanna try and take the sting out of some of my quotes.
Or maybe, sort of, I don't know, beef up the context a little bit or...
- What's wrong? - He didn't tell you, did he?
- Tell me what? - There is no story.
He called Ed Timberman at The Times.
- Oh, my God. - Kit, I...
- I don't know what to say. - He killed the story.
He said you'd come to some understanding.
That he should have talked to you more, but you were fine with him running.
- Kit... - No, it's okay. It's okay.
- Look, don't go. Just stay and talk. - No, hey, Kev. Come on.
It's just a story, right? It's no big deal.
WOMAN: Mrs. Walker? - Yeah.
- There's a phone call for you. - Oh. Okay.
Hello?
Ryan, where are you? Are you close? We really have to go.
Oh, you're not?
Are you all right?
Yeah, I hope so.
Okay. Bye.
WOMAN [OVER SPEAKERS]: Final boarding call, flight 372 to Nashville.
Okay, so who's divorcing and who's hooking up this week?
Something about airports, you know,
makes me wanna read trashy magazines too.
What are you doing here? You didn't need to see me off.
Yeah, well, I didn't say what I wanted to say to you,
and I didn't realize it until after your cab left.
So you came here? You didn't want to try calling my cell?
I don't know. You don't seem to answer it.
Yeah.
Look, I know what we agreed on a year ago,
but clearly, a lot of things have changed since then,
and, well, I know I have.
So I don't want to keep making the same mistakes.
You're not. I'm so happy that I came.
Flight 2135 for Los Angeles is now boarding...
That's me.
All right, so I'm in section D.
So, do you want to trade?
What?
Are you kidding me? You don't have to do this.
I'm not looking for an out, Rebecca,
so if it's okay with you, I'd like to get on that plane.
- Yeah, it's okay with me. - Okay. Let's go.
