Previously on Dynasty...
That private airline? I bought it,
and I'm giving it to you.
JEFF: Nolan Jamison.
You're working on something big in the area
of fuel-efficient energy sources.
Next time you want to hire an organized crime boss,
a little heads-up would be nice.
Whenever I've needed you, you've been there.
You're like a daughter to me.
Maybe it's time Colby Co. gets in the fashion game.
We don't have days to get this tumor out, we have hours.
(horn blaring)
She's barely got a pulse. Call 911. Kirby!
Which do you want first, the good news or the bad news?
Good news. That way, when you tell me the bad news,
I can remember when I was happy because of the good news.
Okay, the good news is... No, wait.
Maybe I should hear the bad news first
so that I can have something to look forward to.
Can I change my answer? No. This isn't at game show.
The good news is, after two weeks in the hospital,
the doctors have decided that Kirby is strong enough
to go home later today.
That's great. What's the bad news?
We have to tell her about Anders.
(sighs) Right. That's definitely bad.
And we have to do that today?
Well, first we said we'd tell her he died
after she woke up from the coma.
Then we said that, you know, we'd wait
until she was more alert so she'd understand.
And then we said we'd wait till she was off meds,
so it didn't seem like a dream.
And then we said we'd tell her the day she was discharged.
Which is today.
Yeah.
(woman speaking indistinctly over P.A.)
Morning.
I feel refreshed and ready to go.
Turns out a medically induced coma
is the best sleep a gal can get.
(chuckles)
You don't need to look so worried.
We don't?
I feel good. This has been a huge wake-up call.
And hospitals suck;
I really don't want to come back here. FALLON: Yeah.
Twice in one year.
I don't want to have to visit you here again, either.
You won't. Oliver, the drugs, partying,
it's all in the past.
We're just happy you're okay.
Yeah, we are.
Um... you know,
the past few weeks have been...
they've been tough.
And, uh, we--
We have to tell you something.
âª âª
ADAM: Your brain is grossly normal.
Is that good news? It's excellent news.
Dr. Scott removed the tumor from the brain stem.
There-There's still some swelling,
but I have no reason to believe
that you won't make a full recovery.
Oh, thank God.
Of course, you'll need periodic scans,
but as of right now, I'm happy to say
you're cancer-free.
Thank you, son. This is the news that I, um...
that we needed to hear.
It's been a tough couple of weeks
between losing Anders and...
Don't you ever scare me like that again.
It wasn't exactly fun for me, either.
Which is why this calls for something special.
I say we start with a celebratory meal.
Anywhere you want. The world's your oyster.
Ooh, seafood does sound good. Done.
Okay, I have to go. Board meeting.
I'm impressed...
with how you're handling the chief of staff job.
Now I know what it feels like to be a Jewish mother.
This place is gonna be world-class under me.
Lofty goals.
But I would expect nothing less
from the man who performed my wife's brain surgery.
I only assisted Dr. Scott.
You were the one who insisted on not waiting
for Dr. Scott to get here.
You saved my life.
According to this report, online sales for Dom-Mystique
are sluggish at best.
Everyone wants to be an overnight success,
but it takes time to build a solid company-- be patient.
Don't talk to me about patience.
I've waited to feel this passionately about something
my entire life.
Fine.
So what do you think the problem is?
Our marketing strategy.
We need a new plan.
Maybe billboards.
No, we're not doing billboards.
All right, people blow past those things
at 80 miles an hour.
And you need more than four seconds
to connect with your customer.
But right now,
I need to set a meeting with Korosh Patel.
Does he know anything about selling clothes
at affordable prices?
If not, why are we talking about him?
He's the leading mind in renewable energy.
Which is why I need to convince him to work for me
And since when is Colby Co. into renewable energy?
Since I'm trying to make it a more eco-conscious business.
Any more questions, or can I go?
You can go. But I don't like that tone.
Or these numbers.
Don't forget the billboards. No billboards!
Please have a seat, Dr. Carrington.
Yes. While I have the chairman of the board to myself,
I would like to run a few ideas by you
before the others arrive.
No one else is coming. Oh, perfect.
Not really, because we have a problem.
There are rumors that you threatened
the hospital's head of finance
in order to obtain funding for one of your projects.
Rumors? Come on. If--
If somebody said that I threatened Karen,
it's obviously a misunderstanding.
I'll-I'll talk to her. Well, she quit,
and moved her ailing sister to another hospital.
She claims it was for better care,
but I'm skeptical.
I'm sure this is just a typical Karen overreaction.
Look, I'm going to be straight with you.
You're barely holding onto the chief of staff position,
Dr. Carrington.
And if it weren't for your last name,
you wouldn't be holding on to anything at all.
Excuse me, I just performed a cutting-edge brain surgery.
Which was against hospital policy
as the patient is a relative of yours.
Plus, you're not a neurosurgeon.
And if Dr. Scott hadn't arrived when she did,
who knows what would have happened?
Now, this'll be your first and your last warning.
You have any questions, Dr. Carrington?
Did we really need this big a refresh in here?
I mean, are you bored because Liam is off
in some cabin writing?
'Cause it's feeling a little O-T-T.
You think this is over-the-top?
I wanted to bring in a four-poster bed
with lace curtains.
Poor Kirby.
I hope she's not too depressed.
Telling her about Anders was rough.
Telling her about Anders was rough?
You mean when I told her and you sat there and watched?
Of course she's gonna be depressed.
I mean, she missed her father's funeral.
Wait, I hear them. I hear them. Come here.
Hi, guys. Wow.
It looks great in here. I love the new blanket!
One of Oprah's favorite things.
Well, it's all so... soothing.
Yeah, well, you know, it's the least I could do after, um,
after, uh, you know, the...
After everything that happened. (Kirby chuckles)
You need anything else before I go?
And remember what I said, take it easy
and let people help you. I'm good. I have everything I need.
There is something I need.
That was quick. Oh.
Well, I can't sit around and mope
about my dad all day.
He would have hated that. And I'll go crazy.
So I need a job. A modeling job, to be specific.
Do you think that's a good idea?
Work will help me deal with the stress,
and I don't want to lose the momentum I had. FALLON: Right.
Um, okay.
Uh, well, I'll make some calls.
I'll talk to some editors, but first,
I want to give you a few weeks to reacclimate, you know,
and then we'll get you back out there.
No, I already know which job I want.
I want to be one of the ten models on the catwalk
at the upcoming Designer Institute Ball.
The theme is celestial bodies, and, well, I think I have one.
You do, but what kind of ball is this?
Some sort of Cinderella fantasy?
It's the most high-profile fashion event in Atlanta.
Yes, yes, I know it well. I go every year.
Well, great. So you call the head of the institute.
Paloma something?
Paloma Benioff and I actually co-chaired
the Atlanta Art Walk together one year.
Yeah. She puts ice in her rosÃ©.
Anyway, that night's a crazy circus
of, you know, paparazzi, posers and partying.
So it's really not the right thing for you right now.
Well, would you rather I stay in bed all day
feeling sorry for myself?
Uh, okay, I will give Paloma a call,
but I really can't make any promises.
Thanks. This is exactly what I need.
This and a sandwich. And some ice cream.
Hospital food's really terrible.
(chuckles)
Well, she's definitely not depressed,
but she's in serious denial.
I mean, she clearly doesn't want to face reality.
But if we push her to face reality,
it could shatter her if she's not ready.
I have done some research on this, and smothering
actually doesn't help much either, so it's tricky.
We need to call a therapist.
Did you not just hear what I said about research?
We don't need a therapist, okay?
I got this.
Somehow that doesn't make me feel any better.
FALLON: I heard that.
âª âª
FALLON: Paloma, you're looking well.
Do people ever call you "Plum"?
No. We're both very busy women.
Why don't we skip the small talk, Fallon?
Great. Because I was out of material anyway.
A friend of mine, who just happens to be
a fantastic model, would make a great addition
to the group for the ball. Her name is Kirby Anders.
Never heard of her.
She's an up and comer. She's beautiful.
And I know that you are the person to see
if strings need to be pulled.
We book these models a year in advance
because of their busy schedules.
Because they're supermodels, not super-new models.
Right. No, I got that.
But I appreciate your casual bluntness.
How about this? What if you put her last in the lineup?
You know, everybody will be seven chardonnays deep
at that point, and they won't even notice when she comes out
that she's not Bella Hadid.
Well, I could consider that
if you'd consider giving up your regular dinner table
at the Four Seasons every Saturday.
But it's the best table in the restaurant.
Which is why I'm asking.
Hmm. Sure.
Yeah, it's yours.
Kirby will be thrilled, and, technically,
wherever I sit is the best table.
Oh, I need you to hire a new assistant editor
at your magazine.
Oh. Well, I'm very happy with my team,
unless you know somebody great.
Janie Benioff.
Hmm. Never heard of her.
Well, she's my daughter.
Oh.
She's not an editor, but she's written
several online articles.
I think this would be a great bump-up for her.
I can't risk sacrificing the quality of my magazine.
It would be an insult to everyone who works there.
Assistant editor or no deal.
(chuckles)
I am not interested in horse trading.
You can enjoy your watered-down rosÃ©.
I will find something else for Kirby.
Do you think we're the first construction project in history
to ever be under budget?
That's one bright spot of having Leo at the helm.
Yeah, the, uh, organized crime glass is totally half full.
Well, what I learned from my Ada Stone experience
is that there's always a way out.
Although I almost got killed trying it.
With Ada, ignorance was bliss.
So we turn a blind eye until construction is over
and pray we never see Leo again.
You think he'll disappear? Ada did.
And as long as we don't know what Leo's up to,
we have plausible deniability when he gets caught
doing whatever illegal thing he's doing.
Okay. I can be ignorant.
(clicks tongue) Let's grab lunch.
Is this for me?
I mean, I am the boss.
One and only.
Is that... Tons of drugs?
Yes. We'll deal with it later tonight,
once the construction crew is gone.
But for now, get that out of sight
before someone walks in here.
You know I'd be happy to eat at any seafood place in Atlanta.
BLAKE: Hey, you want crab? We get the best.
If that means Joe's in Miami, then that's where we go.
You only live once. Mm.
You see that land down there?
I'm trying to acquire it for my new aviation business.
Which part? All of it.
Just have to figure out how. It's not for sale.
The guy who owns it is some big wheat farmer
who turns down every offer.
Maybe he doesn't need the money.
Who doesn't want money? That land's worth a fortune.
And what are you gonna do with it?
Build a private airport close to Metro Atlanta.
CEOs don't want to waste time getting in and out
of the heart of major cities. If I can do that,
I will take this corporate jet business to the next level.
But you said it's not for sale.
I'll find a way.
And I promise you it will be on the up-and-up.
Somehow.
This is what Anders was so good at.
If he was here, he would have found this guy's
third grade girlfriend and already got
the inside information.
He's still with you.
And you'll get that land.
I just figured if I wanted to get into
energy-efficient frozen fuel,
there was only one person to see.
Well, I appreciate that--
assuming you mean me, of course.
Of course. (both laugh)
And now is the time to do it.
Earth's resources are dwindling. Energy costs are rising.
I could not agree more.
I didn't think Colby Co. was chopping down rain forests.
We're not.
But as a citizen of the world,
I figure why not use
my plentiful resources to help others?
Yeah. How commendable.
Well, I do believe there's a profit to be made.
It's not totally selfless.
So, are you interested?
Because when it comes to this stuff, there's you...
and then there's everyone else.
(both laugh)
Well, flattery will get you everywhere.
But why should I partner with you?
Because my company is a leader in its field.
And cutting-edge tech belongs with
cutting-edge environmental science.
It's a serious offer.
And you can use my vacation house in the Bahamas
anytime you want except Labor Day.
I kind of like to blow it out that weekend.
(both laugh)
Uh, why is Nolan Jamison here?
Please tell me that's a coincidence.
Well, I could tell you that.
My apologies, Korosh.
I'm five minutes early.
I'll go grab a coffee and let you two wrap up.
Mm.
Don't believe a word he says.
(laughter)
(indistinct P.A. announcement)
Uh... Dr. Larson,
why is your Alzheimer's drug still in clinical trials?
I was hoping to make an announcement about its efficacy
in the next few days.
I'm sorry.
There was a setback in phase two.
Myriad side effects need to be addressed
before we can move on.
All drugs have side effects. But these are extreme.
Plus, it's still not doing what it's supposed to do.
So we're not moving on to phase three at the moment.
I know research isn't your field, Dr. Carrington,
but getting a drug approved takes time.
Well, my field is this entire institution,
which I'm gonna turn into a world-class health center.
Now, you can either figure this out
and join us in what we're doing,
or you can read about it at some underfunded
community hospital.
Dr. Bridges.
Um, Michael Harrison.
Yeah, yes, yes, it has been a while, hasn't it?
Um, what was it?
Intro to Clinical Medicine, I think.
Right, so, um, I'm working
on a new Alzheimer's drug,
and there are some possible anti-aging side effects.
I know this is your area of expertise,
so I was wondering if I sent you the data...
would you let me know what you think?
Great.
And if we could keep this between us for now,
that would be wonderful.
Okay, thanks.
How'd it go with Paloma?
Oh, well, apparently
the modeling slots have been filled for a year.
Well, maybe you can convince her to add a slot,
because what's better than ten models? 11.
Mm-hmm. She seemed pretty set.
But I have calls out to several other people,
and there is a job with your name on it.
(disappointed chuckle)
I can get a job, Fallon.
But I really wanted this job.
Everyone at that gala is someone who can
help me with my career.
And aren't you always talking about
surrounding yourself with the right people?
That doesn't really sound like me.
Look, Kirby,
maybe you should take some time
to process your loss.
Everyone else has had a chance
to come to terms with Anders' death.
Give yourself some space to mourn.
Thanks for your concern, but I've dealt with my feelings,
and it started more than two weeks ago.
When my dad had that heart attack a few years ago,
I thought about what it might be like losing him,
because I thought I was going to.
Okay, but that was a little different.
He didn't die.
You know what?
It's fine. Oliver's crew is still working.
I'm sure they have something available.
No, no, no, no, no. Please. That is the opposite of
surrounding yourself with the right people.
I'll be fine. But...
I can take care of myself.
(exhales)
Hi. Fallon Carrington for Paloma Benioff.
Okay, just tell her to have her daughter
come by my office next week.
She'll know what it's about.
(toilet flushes) SAM: Damn it!
What? It won't flush. It's just floating.
What do you mean, "floating"?
Like a rubber ducky, but cocaine.
And if I force it and the pipes clog,
Leo's crew will be in charge of fixing them.
Okay, new plan.
We throw it in a dumpster. But not ours.
We don't need drugs connected to La Mirage.
However, if drugs were connected to a dumpster
at the hotel down the street,
that is not our problem. I like your thinking.
Let's go.
Enjoy.
I'm only here as a courtesy.
Oh, and because I love the rib-eye.
I'm more of a porterhouse man myself.
I also hear you're a bit of a jerk.
Or as my mother used to say to my sister,
"You have a... a bad reputation."
Well, I'm sorry I didn't know your sister.
Anyway, listen, I'm-I'm sure that some of the things
you heard about me are true.
But I'm a changed man.
Yeah, well, my mother also used to say
that a tiger doesn't change his stripes.
I mean, she really talked a lot.
I would doubt me if I were you as well. I would.
But in the last two weeks, my wife almost died of cancer,
and, well, I lost my closest friend in the world.
So I didn't change.
I've been changed.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
All right, well, go ahead.
I'm all ears.
This is what I'm thinking.
That's impressive.
Much more than anyone's ever offered me in the past.
I know.
But you see, this is just money.
Now, farming that land--
well, it makes me happy.
Well, now, that's why this is only half of the offer.
There's a spot up in South Carolina
near the water, where I own acres of land.
More than you have here.
I'll pay you the money and give you this land.
Well, I've always wanted to live near the water.
Deal.
LAWYER: Hey, big guy, what's up?
Triple the offer I made to Korosh.
Really? Why?
Because Nolan's gonna double his.
What's going on with the new marketing plan?
LAWYER: Who's that? I haven't seen any billboards
Jeff? and I've driven all over Atlanta.
Hello?
And-and throw in some language
about performance bonuses.
Okay, will do. Thanks.
I told you,
no billboards; they're a waste of money.
But I did buy you a table
at the Designer Institute Ball.
It's a place to see and be seen.
I need to be seen by the masses,
not the snotty tastemakers.
I'm getting a headache.
(sighs)
Don't worry, I'll figure out something on my own.
TV REPORTER: And from the beaches of Bali
to the pink sands of the Bahamas... What the...?
Turn this up.
...billionaire Nolan Jamison lunching with
an unidentified friend on the deck of his...
That's Korosh.
What is this show?
Hot Tea Atlanta.
Covers all of the movers and shakers in the city.
So it's a show about parties, socialites and rich people?
It's a great escape for an overworked brain.
Don't be judgy.
(knocks on door)
You were looking for me?
And here you are.
A token of my appreciation
for saving Cristal's life.
To remind us time is a luxury.
Wow Thank you, Father.
It's, uh... It's nice to be appreciated.
What does that mean?
Just after everything I've done at the hospital,
the board is being difficult.
I'm handling it, but... You know, no offense,
but that hospital, it's small potatoes.
Come work with me as equal partners.
Primetime Air is gonna usher in
a new era of the Carrington Dynasty.
Let's build it together.
This is unexpected.
Well...
At the moment, I have something really big going on
at the hospital; I want to see how it pans out.
Do you want to change the face of private aviation,
make a ton of money and have actual power?
Or do you want to be mired in bureaucratic red tape,
where people don't appreciate you like they should? Huh?
Think about it.
Let me know.
Fallon, I don't know how you did it, but thank you.
(gasps) Ooh!
Chocolate cake. Best cure for a headache.
First, what did you do?
Second, are you okay? Do we need to call a doctor?
I'm modeling at the ball.
Did you know the year after Kaia Gerber did it,
she booked every runway during New York Fashion Week?
Ugh, I shouldn't be eating chocolate cake.
I need to go practice my walk because my arches collapsed
during my...
vacation.
(chuckles) Later.
Did she just call a two-week coma a "vacation"?
I think "coma" may be a trigger word for her.
I think "vacation" is a trigger word for us.
You are so busy pushing her out into the world
before she's ready, you can't see the red flags
waving all over.
I am not pushing her.
I want her to get better. I need her to get better.
She threatened to go back to her drug friends
if I didn't get her this job.
Besides, everyone mourns in different ways, Judge Judy.
Oh, wow, you sure I can't get you some powdered sugar
to top that off?
Why would I want any powdered sugar,
or any kind of powder?
Whoa. It was a joke.
I don't know, maybe this is what Kirby needs to move forward.
You know, who are we to stop her?
Her friends.
Exactly.
Which is why I bought us a table at the ball.
Looks like you got some sun in the Bahamas.
Huh. You tailing me? Nah.
But the tabloid shows are. Ah.
I saw you took Korosh.
Well played.
Mm. You realize he's just gonna play us against each other
until he gets way more than he deserves.
Unless one of us backs off.
When have you ever known me to back off anything?
Ah, there's always a first time.
Come on, what's it gonna take? Name your price.
You still haven't learned that I can't be bought off.
But I am willing to make it more interesting.
I don't have time for interesting.
Let's drop this back and forth and settle it
with a one-time bet.
Loser drops out, winner can hire Korosh.
What kind of bet?
Let's see... Robot battle.
My bot's in the shop.
Okay. Regatta. Miami to the Bahamas.
Mm, no. But I do have a toy car that's undefeated.
(chuckles)
I got it.
And if memory serves, it's something you love to do,
and you do well. What are you talking about?
You remember that tech conference
we attended in Hungary?
Ah.
Mm-hmm. (laughs)
You really want to go down like that?
It's fine with me.
I just hope you don't get hurt.
âª We can go all night together âª
âª Come on âª
âª Worry 'bout your nine to five some other day âª
âª Bust into a good time, baby... âª
Dominique Deveraux,
founder of Dom-Mystique,
one of the ten best new brands of the year.
They're waiting on me. Thank you.
âª Bubbly, all that bubbly... âª
FALLON: Sorry I'm late.
I just ran into Paloma, who wouldn't stop talking.
She seems a little on edge.
How are you doing? Have you eaten anything today?
Not really. I'm a little nervous.
Everyone in fashion is here.
Isn't that the dream scenario, though? Yeah.
I mean, it's what you wanted, right?
Remember?
You're right.
It is. I'll be fine.
How many pounds of extensions are you wearing?
I don't know, but my hair looks amazing
so it's worth the headache.
We should have asked the doctor about
the effects of extensions.
You're sure you're okay, right?
WOMAN: It's showtime, people.
Never better.
âª Some other day âª
âª Bust into a good time... âª
Maybe people do mourn in different ways.
Exactly.
âª âª
Rules?
Three periods, three minutes each period.
Fencer with the most points at the end is the winner.
âª âª
En garde!
âª You get up every morning âª Pret allez.
âª From the alarm clock's warning âª
âª Take the 8:15 into the city âª
âª There's a whistle up above âª
âª People pushing, people shoving âª
âª And the girls, who try to look pretty... âª (beeps)
I love that dress.
The cut just looks absolutely gorgeous on her
with that slit-- Hi. Who are you wearing
and what can you tell the Hot Tea Atlanta viewers
about the designer?
I'm wearing me. This is a custom Dom-Mystique gown,
inspired by a design of my mother's.
A personal story. I love that.
Wouldn't we all love to have a designer
create something personal just for us?
But that's not an option for most people. Oh, tell me about it.
But I am proof that you don't have to spend a fortune
to look like the belle of the ball.
âª And I'll be taking care of business âª
âª Every day âª
âª Taking care of business âª
âª Every way, I been taking care of business âª
âª It's all mine... âª
All tied up. Next point wins.
âª And working overtime, work out âª
Oh! Oh!
Point and match.
(breathing heavily)
âª Taking care of business âª
TouchÃ©. âª Taking care of business âª
A deal's a deal.
I'll back off. âª Taking care of business âª
Well done.
âª Taking care of business. âª
(indistinct chatter)
Hey, uh, I'm having second thoughts
about the whole dumpster thing.
I think I may stop there on the way home.
I... I'll talk to you later.
WOMAN: My father, who founded the Designer Institute,
has been an inspiration to me throughout my life.
Without his unconditional love and support,
I wouldn't be here today to give all of you...
What's the matter?
Where's my water bottle?
I left a water right there,
next to my bag. Here's a new one.
I don't want that water, I want my water!
What?
Wait a minute, give me that.
This is vodka.
You've been drinking vodka all night?
Well, yeah, it's a party.
What did you think I was drinking, apple juice?
We thought you were drinking water
because you said you were drinking water, like, six times.
It's not a big deal. I knew you guys would overreact.
It is a big deal.
You just spent two weeks in a coma, not on vacation.
We were worried, and now we're more worried.
What are you doing here when you need to be out there?
I can't do it.
That is not an option.
Don't yell at me.
No, stop yelling at her. Don't yell at her.
What am I doing here?
I didn't even get to say good-bye to my father.
I just want to go home.
Are you kidding me? Come on, young lady.
No, please! FALLON: Kirby!
SAM: Watch out. (Kirby cries out)
(onlookers gasp) I'm fine.
Can everyone just leave me alone?
You were pushing her so hard.
I told you she wasn't ready for this.
Maybe we should take this conversation into the hall.
(scoffs) Please.
We could be under the covers with her, she wouldn't notice.
You were stage-mommying so hard.
Even for you it was aggressive.
I just wanted to help Kirby be okay.
And now she's dealt with Anders' death,
just like the rest of us; she should thank me, really.
Have you dealt with it?
Because you haven't mentioned it
since the funeral.
What's there to say?
How much you miss him.
What a great guy he was.
I'm not not talking about it. Fallon...
you have either been working
or focusing on Kirby 24/7.
That's exactly what you do when you don't want to deal.
I want to the funeral.
I said good-bye.
That doesn't mean you've accepted anything.
I'm fine.
And now Kirby is, too, okay?
I'm gonna get her another blanket.
Maybe she's not as fine as I thought.
(phone ringing) (exhales sharply)
Dr. Bridges.
Did you have a chance to review my data?
That-That's what I thought.
I agree. I-I think this could be
a huge breakthrough for me,
and maybe the world.
There are some promising new developments at the hospital.
I'd like to see them through, because if things work out,
let's just say you won't be the only one with a new dynasty.
Betting on yourself. Can't argue with that.
I know it's a risk.
I really want to create my own legacy.
My last name can help get me in the door,
but I need to be able to kick them down myself.
And I would like for us to work on
building a better relationship.
I would like that, too.
So you're not mad that I said no?
Not at all. No.
Good luck.
Sales are booming
after my Hot Tea Atlanta appearance earlier this evening.
See? You think a billboard would have done that?
So, how much did you pay the Hot Tea Atlanta reporter
to interview me? I didn't pay the reporter.
So it was a coincidence that you saw the show,
and the reporter suddenly took an interest
in who I was wearing?
It's true, I look stunning.
But I wouldn't exactly say I'm a Kardashian
on the fame scale.
I didn't pay the reporter.
But I did buy the company. You mad?
Mad? You should see our new sales projections.
This feels like a move out of my own playbook.
Not sure if I should be flattered or insulted.
But you should have told me the truth,
just like you can tell me what's bothering you now.
Did you not hire the scientist? I did not.
I don't get what's so important about this man.
There are a million ways for you
to make your company more efficient.
That's not what this is about.
Then what is it about?
You want honesty?
I had a vision on that retreat a while back.
I'm worried about this planet.
So I want to build a rocket and send it into space.
There's resources on other planets that can benefit us.
It sounds crazy, I know.
Which is why I haven't told you.
Or anyone else.
But other people are trying to do this.
It's not crazy. Yeah, but those people
are the same three billionaires that everyone knows.
A Black billionaire doing this
is a whole different conversation.
I just lost the one scientist I needed
to make this a reality.
I mean, our resources are limited.
There's overpopulation, there's...
I'm on a high. Don't bring me down.
The problems are overwhelming, I know,
but I want to fix them.
And the scientist doesn't like your ideas?
He doesn't know about the rocket part.
If he doesn't know your dream...
how can he help you get there?
Okay. Well, I miss you.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
ANDERS: Fallon, I know you can do this.
I've been aware of how special you are
since you could first walk.
I'm proud of you, as always.
Anders.
On a scale of one to ten, how much do you hate me?
Ten being I should start running
before you throw a Manolo at my head.
I'm not upset with you at all.
Really?
From what I can remember, about last night,
which is not a lot, thank God,
Paloma was furious.
And everyone knows if you piss her off
you're as good as dead.
I don't care about Paloma.
I care about you.
I just wanted you to be okay
because...
if you were okay, then maybe I could be, too.
You're not okay?
I thought I was.
But, well, turns out I needed an ugly cry, too.
(chuckles)
Aren't ugly cries the best sometimes?
The truth is...
I feel guilty that your father died
on the day he saved my life.
I mean, he must have been exhausted.
What if that had something to do with the crash?
Get that thought out of your head right now. Okay?
He loved you, and he would save you again,
even with the same outcome.
Thank you, Kirby.
Now, go get dressed.
We have to go somewhere.
NOLAN: So you want to send a rocket into space?
Yes. And I want to build it so it can be manned.
Now I see why you needed Korosh,
because of his background in frozen fuels,
which your ex-wife obviously told you
was my company's focus after our date a couple weeks ago.
Look, man, you won fair and square.
I just wanted you to know
it's not a game to me.
I'm looking to make an impact on the world.
Why didn't you tell me this in the first place?
I don't like sending ideas out into the world
until they're ready.
I get that.
And if anyone can do this,
it's you. Besides,
someone needs to shut Elon Musk up.
(both laugh)
Hey, why don't you join me, huh?
Two billionaires are better than one.
Thanks, I'll pass.
I enjoyed the competition, but I don't need Korosh,
and clearly you do.
So what's the next step?
I head to Washington and ask Congress for funding.
You're gonna hear a lot of noes.
Then I'll fund it myself.
Be careful.
There were times when I was building my company
that I had two weeks before I completely ran out of money.
Actually, that was when things were most fun.
(chuckles)
But put something away offshore, just in case.
Oh, don't worry, I got it covered.
I can't believe I did that.
So now what?
Now I take a shower, and never speak of the time
I climbed into a dumpster again.
Then I have to get this to Leo without him knowing
we ever had it.
Why didn't we just do that first?
Because I've never had to deal with a problem like this before.
Geez. I need a drink.
"Mr. Jones, a package for me was delivered a few days ago
to the club instead of the hotel."
What's that?
It's a note from your head chef.
"Special cassava root flour.
Packs of it."
Which would look like...
It was flour.
Did I really just pack
five to seven years' worth of worry lines
into two days because of a box of flour?
I ate a half a box of doughnuts.
Okay, it was a whole box.
Look, we need to do something.
Even when he's not around, the stress of having Leo
in our lives is killing us.
I know.
I mean, seriously, look. Is there a bald patch?
(grunts) (phone chimes, vibrates)
Oh, I don't think we have a choice.
We need to get rid of Leo once and for all,
or he's gonna get rid of us.
I like slowing things down a little. It's nice.
Maybe next time we can have breakfast in bed.
Hold the breakfast. (phone chiming)
Oh, it's my lawyer.
Hang on, it'll only take a second.
Mitchell, talk to me.
What? Indicted? This is ridiculous.
Actual jail time?
Hey, hey, at the risk of sounding insensitive,
Garth and I had a deal pending. Is that moving forward?
What's wrong?
Garth Wheeler.
He's been indicted for massive tax fraud.
The deal's off.
The land has been designated
as protected parkland.
Blake, I'm so sorry. Maybe we can...
Mitch says it's done.
So you'll find land in a different location.
You'll build that airport. Location is everything.
This location.
This is my punishment for doing things the right way.
KIRBY: This spot's so peaceful.
My dad would like it.
FALLON: The trees remind me of that weekend,
you know, when we took that camping trip
with our Girl Scout troop.
Anders had to step in when my mother realized
chaperoning meant it would be a dry weekend.
I remember.
It was the first time he had s'mores,
and he loved them. (sniffles)
He always made them for me when I had a bad day.
He said s'mores can get you through anything.
Well, s'mores and a pocketknife. (chuckles)
He really was obsessed with us learning survival skills.
We got our merit badges that weekend.
He was so proud.
I always thought I'd have more time
to make him proud again.
I can't believe I missed his funeral.
I feel so guilty.
Is that why you've been drinking?
I'm really sorry, Kirby.
I guess I just didn't want to face the fact
that you were struggling.
It's okay.
I need to take responsibility, too.
Can I, uh...
Oh, yeah, yeah. Of course.
(sniffles)
You know, grief is a useless emotion, Kirby.
But I still feel it.
There are no merit badges for guilt.
I could maybe get you one for moving on
and taking care of yourself.
So you're not mad?
Every time we have an argument,
we always come back together again.
This would have been the same.
You'll always be my daughter.
We just ran out of time on this one.
Now go live a big, beautiful life.
And get yourself a pocketknife.
(exhales, sniffles)
Coming here was exactly what I needed.
But, um, I just need to make one more stop.
Rehab.
I'm a mess.
I'm sorry, you just weren't performing up to my standards.
I told you this would take time.
Well, now it'll take someone else's time.
You're done here.
We appreciate all of your hard work,
but that box is gonna stay here.
All of your research and testing,
that's property of the hospital. Now...
Oh, good luck in the future.
