[landline ringing]
[lawyer] None of this is new to you, Coop.
The PPM,
LPA,
subscription agreement,
investment management agreement.
- All standard terms and fees. - [Coop sighs]
- Any questions? - [breathing deeply] All set.
- [phone buzzing] - Sorry.
Do you need to take that?
No, it can wait.
Sorry.
- Let's start signing. - [chuckles]
[unsettling music playing]
[Cole] Coop.
[pen scratching]
[Cole] Mm-hmm.
Welcome home.
- Who would've thunk it? - [Coop] Yeah.
[unsettling music resumes]
Uncle Charlie.
I know a secret about you you don't think I know.
- [Uncle Charlie] What secret? - [grunts, hums]
- [chattering continues on TV] - [grunts]
[phone buzzing]
[sighs]
Hey... [stammers] ...Elena.
[Elena] You've been avoiding me.
I have not been avoiding you.
I have been very busy.
Are you busy now?
Yes, in fact, I am.
Why don't you put the fucking snacks away and let me in?
Hey, what are you doing here?
[sighs] Well...
I heard about your father.
I wanted to come by and see how you're doing.
I'm doing fine, thank you.
- Really? - I don't know.
I take it you're not just sneaking around my backyard to offer your condolences.
No.
I heard from my friend Victoria.
You know, the one I was telling you about who works at that house on White Birch?
Well, the family is gone until Monday.
They're opening their Nantucket house, and they're taking her with them,
so the house will be empty all weekend.
Well, I am gonna be out east all weekend starting tomorrow.
East? What are you talking about? China?
The Hamptons. [sighs]
Owen Ashe is hosting an event, and I have to go.
The guy that we robbed? Why would you do that?
[smacks lips] He's blackmailing me.
To go to the Hamptons?
That's some bougie blackmail.
Yeah, seriously though.
What the fuck is going on?
He has me on tape in his house.
- Does he know about me? - No, he doesn't, and he won't.
- Why didn't you tell me? - Because I didn't want you to worry.
What's he making you do?
It's complicated.
Let's pretend I'm as smart as you are.
[chuckles]
I'm investing his money for a little while.
[scoffs] Fucking white people.
Yeah, tell me about it.
So, what's going on with you? Why the sudden urgency?
Chivo got arrested.
Shit. For what?
For being a fucking idiot.
The point is,
I talked to your buddy Barney. He told me that my money is tied up.
So, I had to borrow bail money, and then Chivo took off.
Thanks for that, by the way.
Yeah. Well, believe me, I need that money as much as you do.
But Nick took Owen on as an investor,
and Barney can't touch anything until they review the books.
Okay, so this guy who's blackmailing you is also the reason I can't get my money?
[sighs] I don't think I like this guy.
[Coop] He knows I'm waiting, right?
You sure you're up for this?
You just buried your father.
Yeah, it'll be a nice distraction. This week has been a lot.
Yeah. It'll be nice for you to have this time with Hunter.
Somehow, I don't think that's the draw for him.
- The daughter. - Mmm.
- Delilah? - Delilah.
Yeah, he might be out of his depth with that one.
She looked like she was about to give him a hand job under the table at the seder.
That's why that night is different from all other nights.
Oh, will you do me a favor and check in on Ali, please, while we're gone?
- I know you don't want me hovering, but... - [machine whirring]
Her father died. This is when you hover. Of course I will.
- Yes. Yeah. - Thank you.
What's happening over here?
Ugh, they're building a stone wall.
- It's a whole thing. Don't ask. - Okay.
Hey, I hate to bring this up right now, but, um,
I didn't get my wire from you this month.
What?
That's weird. It should've come in last week like always.
I checked again this morning.
[exhales deeply]
Well, uh, I've been moving some money around.
- Maybe I screwed something up. - Yeah.
I will, uh, take care of it.
Look at this.
[Mel] Well, hello.
- Have fun and be safe. - I will. Yeah.
- Yes. [kisses] Okay. - Bye.
You gonna be all right?
Rattling around in my big, empty house,
abandoned by all those I hold near and dear?
Not to put too fine a point on it.
I'll be fine. Maybe I'll actually get some writing done for once.
That'd be nice.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye, menfolk.
Bye, Mom.
- [horn honks] - Love you.
[chattering in Spanish]
- [Nick] Oh, baby. Where's Barney? - [Coop] Okay.
- I don't know where the fuck he is. But... - Is he gonna show?
Not my problem.
- We're going either way. Oh. - [car horn honking]
- Whoa. Wow, wow, wow. - [chuckling] Whoa. There he is.
- Better late than never. - [Nick] Big weekend, boys.
The three amigos, back at it.
[Coop laughing]
- And Grace! - Yeah.
- [Coop] Ah. - [mouthing] What the fuck?
Park it indoors, where nothing can ding it, okay?
- Okay. - You hear me? All right, good.
Wow, seriously?
I didn't ask you to buy me a Rolls. It's exhausting.
- Hey, how are you? - You're welcome.
- Hey. - [Coop] Hi, buddy. How are you?
- Oh, Grace. I'm so glad you came. - I know.
It's not a party till the pregnant wife is here.
What a pleasant sur... your chariot awaits.
- [Nick] Yes, let's do it. - Yes, let's do it.
- [Barney chuckles] - Wow, look at you making an entrance.
Hey, uh,
I missed a child support payment.
[sighs] Shit, I'm sorry.
Ashe's guys are so far up my ass they can see out of my mouth.
Okay. Well, any idea when that's gonna be finished?
Could be a week, could be a month. They are annoyingly thorough.
Goddamn it.
Did your father... He leave you anything?
Hey, I'm-I'm just looking at all the options.
Well, that is not one of them.
He had a life insurance policy for my mom and a very small trust fund for Ali.
I think he thought he didn't have to worry about me.
Ironic.
Question, do you ever ask yourself
why Ashe is bringing all of us out for the entire weekend?
I mean, the party isn't until tomorrow night.
Pretty sure he thinks we're his friends.
He just forced you to commit financial fraud for him.
You just committed financial fraud for me.
That...
That's true, but I'm just saying, these people have been all over the gym books.
I mean, what if they found something? You know, what if...
what if this is some kind of a setup, you know?
Barney, it's just a weekend.
Try to relax, okay?
Yeah. Okay, you're probably right.
Just don't steal anything.
[chuckles] Very mature.

[Coop] The iconic Haverford Estate was built
on two acres of prime Sagaponack beachfront property,
featuring a 10,000-square-foot house, pool, garden, and tennis court,
all done in the classic East End shingle style...
until Owen Ashe acquired it for a cool 12 million,
and then spent another 12 demolishing and rebuilding it in an early modern style
he hoped would make Charles Gwathmey and Norman Jaffe proud,
and trampling over decades of town ordinances
and dune preservation efforts in the process.
Whether you're sitting in traffic or flying over it,
getting to the Hamptons takes some doing,
so you might as well have a place like this to make it worth the trouble.
- Hey! Welcome, welcome. - Whoa! [laughing]
How was the ride out?
- Smooth, man. - Yeah?
- Thanks for the chopper. - Hey, of course.
The last thing I'm gonna do is subject my guests to Hamptons traffic.
How you doing, brother? It's good to see you.
- Good to see you. Welcome. - Hi.
- Hey, Coop, glad you could make it. - Hey.
- Of course. Of course. - Yeah.
Hey, Hunter. How are we feeling?
- Dad, no. - Okay.
Come on, I'll show you around.
Oh, Mini-Cooper's got some game, huh?
[Ashe] Okay, all right.
So, get settled, take a look around, take a dip in the pool, whatever works.
Hey, Hunter.
[Ashe] Tomorrow night's the main event.
Just having a few friends over, nothing big. You get it.
But tonight, I've got a great dinner planned for just us.
I brought in my buddy, Chef Nicholas.
- I'm telling you he shits Michelin stars. - I'm sorry to interrupt,
but could someone please show me to the closest bathroom?
My pelvic floor is basically Swiss cheese.
- Ah. Anka. - Yeah.
- You all right? - Mm-hmm.
- [Ashe] All right, check out this view. - [Nick] Yes, show me.
- [Ashe] Yeah. - [Nick chuckles]
- Damn. - Wow, this place must have set you back.
- Yeah, go big or go home, right? - This is your home.
[laughs] I love this guy.
- Coop? - Hey.
Hey, um,
I was so sorry to hear about your father.
Oh, uh, thank you.
Yeah. Well, um, how are... how are you doing?
[stammers] Sorry, I don't... I'm... Am I even allowed to ask?
You know what, forget it. I'm just...
- I'm sorry. - No, it's fine.
I'm fine. Thank you.
- Are you... Are you really? - Hey, good news.
My team has finished their review of Nick's Strong Ass Gyms,
and we are ready to move forward.
- Yes! - [Ashe laughing]
[both laugh]
- [Ashe] Oh, shit! [laughs] - [Nick] My man!
- How's that feel? - Feels good.
So, uh, what happens now?
Okay, so we're gonna start consolidating, absorbing back-office systems...
accounting, bookkeeping, payables, receivables, the works.
That way, when we scale up, we'll have our systems in place.
Whoa, whoa, hold on a second. We... We haven't discussed any of that.
I mean, we can't just hand over all of our controls to you day one.
I think $30 million should buy me some transparency, don't you?
Sure, but, uh, transparency and control aren't the same thing.
But why would you want to have Nick pick up payroll, benefits and liability
for an entire back office when I've got the infrastructure already in place?
Because it's Nick's business.
Okay, easy there, Barney. We're... We're all friends here.
Hey, it's all good. He's just doing his job.
Look, your core competency is wealth management.
Mine's running companies.
And if you're willing to ignore an operational efficiency
to the tune of seven figures...
Well, I got to wonder why that is.
[Nick] Come on, Barney, let's make it work.
Besides, I don't want you wasting time balancing the checkbook
when you should be out there growing the Brandes empire.
[chuckles]
I'm copied on all financials.
Yeah, of course. Hey, it's your show.
- [Nick laughing] Full speed ahead, boys. - Full speed. Full speed.
All right, no more shop talk.
Sam and I got a couples massage.
So you guys make yourselves at home, please enjoy the place.
- See you all a little later. - Okay.
- Have fun, guys. - All right.
- Here we are. - [Ashe] Enjoy!
I didn't realize that everyone would be coupled up here.
- I guess that makes you my date. - Ooh.
[laughs] Not for long.
Just watch. I'm putting out a bat signal for us.
Oh, no. I'm good. Thank you.
You sure? There's some serious talent out here this time of year.
Come on, I got Hunter.
Yeah, but from what I can tell, we won't be seeing very much of him.
I know. That's... I'm...
Your loss, my friend.

Hey, Mel, what's up?
Uh, hey, I hear we're both flying solo this weekend.
You want to come over and Netflix and chill?
[whispering] That's not what that means.
- It isn't? - No, but yes, I-I'll come over.
Why are you whispering?
I'm teaching.
Really? Why did you pick up then?
- I thought it was an emergency. - No, it's just me.
Go back to your students. Call me later.
Okay. Bye.

[hammering, sawing continue]
[peaceful music playing]

[music stops]
What the fuck?
Oh, shit. I'm sorry!
[exclaims]
I didn't...
I'm sorry.
Look, I know they look sweet and innocent,
but they are considered an invasive species around here.
They carry ticks that spread disease. They decimate vegetation.
Believe it or not, they are the primary cause of car accidents around here.
In fact, there was a guy from South Africa who brought over
like 20 African lions and released them just to hunt the deer down.
I don't like guns.
Of course.
I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking.
Let's go back inside.
[workers chattering]
What's everyone doing out so early?
Well, they're mostly just showing up to see who else is here.
Is that what we're doing?
No, we are bonding.
Your grandfather loved this place.
His parents had a place out here before the Hamptons were the Hamptons.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
Do you miss him?
I do, yeah.
Yeah, me too.
It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be.
I guess no matter how old you are, your father is still your father.
Come on.
Coop!
Bosley, how're you doing?
I hear you made Jack your bitch and put some serious coin into Bailey.
Well, I'm just trying to make a dollar, you know what I mean?
[laughs]
What was that?
That was Bosley.
And you now know him about as well as I do.
Why don't you go see if our order's ready?
Sure.
- Coop? - Hey!
- Hi. What a nice surprise. - Indeed.
- I didn't know you had a place out here. - I don't.
I'm just staying with a-a friend.
- Nice. - How about you?
Oh, I have a small place in Sagaponack,
on Hedges, just down the road from the general store.
Nice, yes.
Oh, how is Jack faring?
[sighs] Jack is a cockroach.
He'll survive a nuclear blast.
I've been meaning to call and check on him,
but honestly, what do I even say?
Yeah, it's not like they make a card for that.
No, they do not.
- So, how long are you out here? - Just till tomorrow.
Oh. That's too bad.
Well, actually, um,
this guy I'm staying with is having a small party tonight.
- You should come. - I don't think so.
Honestly, you will probably know more people at this thing than I will.
Text me the details. I'll let you know.
- Okay. Good to see you. - Okay.
Nice to see you too.
Who was that?
[playful music playing]
It's a long story.
[guests chattering]
You're gonna eat the whole thing, so eat the whole fucking thing.
Just eat it. Who you fooling?
[Barney chuckles]
- Owen. - That's Ashe's lawyer.
[Ashe, lawyer whispering]
Uh, hey, sorry, everyone.
Um, nothing to worry about here. We'll be right back.
Un-fucking-believable.
Ashe?
This bullshit again?
I told you that you need to get a fucking warrant, my friend.
You can't find anything on me.
You're trying to embarrass me in front of my friends.
Fuck you and fuck this whole fucking circus.
- Watch your tone. Calm down. - Get the fuck out.
- What the hell is this? - No idea.
You show up over and over again with your little shit-eating grin,
- and you come up with this... - This isn't good.
- [agent] Follow the law better, sir. - No shit.
- Laws? I'm not breaking any laws. - We'll find that out, won't we?
[Ashe] You think I'm fucking gonna sit here and take it?
Fuck you.
Mark my fucking words.
You with your fucking shit-eating grin, get the fuck out of here!
This is fucking blatant harassment.
Think we should leave?
I think we should give it a beat.
Besides, there's probably a pretty good bottleneck in the driveway already.
- I can be packed in less than a minute. - I'd pay to see that.
- No, no, guys, you can't leave me here. - [Ashe] Hey!
Sorry, guys. They do this to me once or twice a year.
It never amounts to anything.
I guess they like to keep me on my toes.
- Well... What are they looking for? - It's a fishing expedition.
They don't like the way I make my living,
and they really don't like that I'm not breaking any laws.
You okay, man? Things looked pretty heated out there.
Trust me, it's fine. It's all part of the dance.
Now I threaten to sue, and that agent's boss's boss makes him apologize.
Rinse and repeat. Once you reach a certain net worth,
they like to paint targets on your back, that's all.
And I hope that wasn't too douchey.
Just douchey enough.
Great, exactly what I was going for.
All right, so, party starts at 5:00.
That leaves us plenty of time for a swim, maybe an afternoon siesta.
I'm gonna get changed. You coming?
Let's do it!
[Samantha] Uh...
I don't even recognize teenagers anymore.
Welcome to my world.
I mean...
they should be cutting class to go smoke a bowl, or...
or dry humping in their parents' car
or listening to punk rock or getting a stupid tattoo.
Instead, it's like they're building their résumé.
And they're missing the whole point of being young and dumb
and just rushing into adulthood
like there's some kind of buried treasure there or something.
Not all of them.
Oh, yeah, well, Tori's a smart kid. She'll figure it out.
I would settle for her just talking to me.
Well, why don't you shoot her a text, see if she wants to come on over and hang out.
- She... She doesn't. - Oh?
Do not underestimate my appeal.
[laughs]
- Okay, let's send her you and the pool. - Mmm.
- Look really appealing. - Bacon, egg and cheese.
[both chuckling]
- Ooh. - [Mel] Okay, wait. Um...
"Join us for a swim?"
Okay, here goes.
[gasps, sighs] Mmm.
[Ali] Mmm.
[Mel] Come on.
At least she's responding. That's progress, I guess.
Ah, see. She's coming around.
Eventually all girls need their mothers, and that's coming from me,
- and you know my mother. - [shudders]
How's the Mayfield gig?
Why? What? Did they call you?
No, why would they?
No reason.
[mysterious music playing]
The FBI aren't the tidiest of house guests, are they?
Sorry.
- What for? - [sighs] I didn't...
[stammers] ...I didn't mean to snoop.
Sure you did.
It's okay. I like it.
Do you?
Hey, so...
The agents before, that whole business,
you're probably wondering what you got yourself into
and whether or not you should pull the rip cord.
Am I right?
[sighs] Something like that.
Well, listen, first of all, I don't want you to feel stuck here.
So if you do want to leave, I'll have somebody take you,
but I really hope you won't.
I need you to tell me the truth.
I haven't lied to you.
That's not the same thing.
You're right, it's not.
But you can ask me anything.
- I've got nothing to hide. - Okay.
Why was the FBI here?
They were assisting Interpol.
Okay... [chuckles] ...that was helpful.
- Thank you. - Okay.
So, the lead agent,
the guy I was outside shouting at, his name is Mohler,
and he's spent years trying to nail me, the scumbag, for obscure maritime crime.
It doesn't matter to him whether or not I'm even guilty.
As far as he's concerned, anyone as rich as I am is guilty of something.
Well, are you guilty?
Well, I push the envelope occasionally, but everybody does.
But I mean, guilty of crimes? No.
And when Mohler is gone,
and he will be when DeMille is finished with him, all of this goes away.
Now seems like a good time for you to tell me what it is you actually do.
I told you I own an international freight company.
I know, but what do you ship?
Well, we ship everything.
Fruit, cars, food,
phones, electronics, machinery, clothing, chemicals, microchips...
Weapons?
- Sometimes. - Are you an arms dealer?
- What? [laughs] No, no, no. - You just said that you ship weapons.
Yeah. Well, everybody ships weapons.
The United States ships over $250 billion worth of weapons every year.
And you ship only for the United States?
[chuckles] Listen,
you can't run a company this big without running afoul of geopolitics now and then.
Last year's allies are this year's enemies,
and we do our best.
And DeMille has an army of lawyers under him to make sure
we are always on the right side of the law.
- I could use some water. [sighs] - Okay.
You know how sometimes a kiss feels like the opposite of a kiss?
- I wasn't fishing. - Sure you weren't.
[knocks on door]
- Hey, buddy. What's up? - Bad time?
Uh, no. Uh, Grace is in the shower, but you can come on in.
- [Nick sighs] - What's up?
Uh... [sucks teeth]
Do you think it was a mistake getting involved with Ashe?
I don't like to be the guy who says I told you so.
- I mean, that was the FBI out there... - Yeah.
...and he's walking around like it happens all the time.
The gym is my legacy. It's for my kids and their kids.
I can't mess it up.
Yeah, okay, look, when I get back, I'll talk to Burian and his team.
We'll see what kind of wiggle room we have.
- All right? Okay. - Okay. Cool.
Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
Wait, uh, w-w-which one is Burian?
- That's our lawyer, Nick. - Lawyer!
We had lunch in his office a few weeks ago.
- Right, right. Shit. - Yeah.
Ever since this all started, there's too many damn people.
I know.
Look, give me a few days. I'll see if I can get you out of it.
Oh, I'm not saying I want out.
I mean, we're talking global expansion here.
I just want to know what's what, you know.
Well, usually you find that out before you get into bed with someone.
- Uh, not in the NBA, you don't. - [chuckles]
- Right.
Look, I know I should have looped you in sooner.
I'm probably overreacting. I just need to know what I'm dealing with here.
I think we just saw what we're dealing with.
It's a lot of money, Barney.
Okay. I'll get into it.
- Okay. - Thank you.
You gotta find out where they got this tiling done... Oh, Jesus, no!
- Barney! - Hi, Grace.
Am I getting whacked?
Huh?
Oh. No, no, no. We're just sorting out that FBI stuff.
No bugs on the beach, right?
Not on me.
You two haven't formally met.
Luc DeMille, Andrew Cooper.
We were thinking, Mr. Cooper, you and Owen make a pretty good team.
We'd like to keep that going.
- What does that mean? - You manage more of my money.
And I throw you 5%.
I don't know, it's kind of hard to trust somebody
who began our relationship with blackmail.
Well, you began it by stealing from me, right?
You saw an opportunity and you took it.
So did I. And it was ugly and stupid and beneath both of us.
Now I'm offering you something different.
It's fraud.
Nah. It's Wall Street.
If you're not bending the rules, you're not playing the game, right?
Does the FBI think that?
Well, that's the thing, Coop.
If the FBI is looking this closely at me,
eventually, they're gonna be looking at you.
You're managing 400 million bucks of my money.
We're kind of married, aren't we?
- So it's not really an offer. - Of course it is.
- You can say no. - What happens if I do?
[chuckles]
Talk to my lawyer.
It's not an offer.
Maybe I should get my own lawyer.
Talk to the FBI myself.
Well, you could do that.
But historically it hasn't worked out very well for people in our business.
Is that a threat?
Enjoy the party.

- Look at you. - Hey.
So, we might have caught a small break with this whole FBI thing.
- Yeah? How's that? - Nick's getting cold feet.
Well, warm feet.
But I might be able to use this to quash his deal with Ashe.
And then you can get our money back.
There's that.
But I'm actually more concerned about getting this guy out of all of our lives.
He's bad news.
- I thought you'd be happier about it. - He just offered me 5%.
- Of what? - Of everything.
- You're doing the math? - I don't have to.
That's 20 million dollars.
That's not including gains, but I assume you told him no.
I might not have a choice.
- How dangerous is this guy? - [Coop] Uh...
Hey, we're going to cut out, go to a party.
You're at a party right now.
We're going to a better one.
Will there be drugs at this party?
Not as many as there will be at this one.
Fine. Go. Get out of here. Make good choices.
You too.
Uber. [sighs]
Why did we think it would be a good idea to procreate?
You know you can't do this, Coop.
I might not be able to undo it. [sighs]
We'll think of something. We have to.
Until then?
Until then, my friend, we eat, drink, and make merry.
"For tomorrow we may die"?
What?
- No, that... that's not how that goes. - That's how it ends.
That's how that quote ends.
Well, that's just stupid.
["Matter of Time" playing]
Mmm, mmm. Hey, guys. Try these.
- Whoa, whoa. We already have drinks. - Oh, no, no.
These are better, these are better. My recipe.
- Okay. I didn't think it'd be purple. - Here we go. Let's have a toast. Okay?

All right.
Mmm.
- Ooh, man. That is good. - Nice, right?
- What's in it? - Beluga Vodka.
It's $25,000 a bottle.

Cricket, hey.
- You came. - Yeah.
- Wow. - Oh. Hello... Hey.
[moans] Okay.
Well, happy to see me?
What gave it away?
Uh, I think we need to catch up.
Yeah, we've been putting a little dent in it.
- Excuse me. Thank you. - Thank you.
[laughing] Cheers.
Mmm.
[Chelsea] I am so out of here.
I just got my roommate assignment at Duke,
and it turns out she's this pageant girl with like 200,000 followers on TikTok
and she's an ambassador for Rhode.
Ugh, I'm so jealous. You'll get invited to the best parties.
I know.
I just literally cannot wait to get out of here.
It's like I'm allowed to be sad, but not too sad, you know?
I mean, my dad died, of course I'm sad.
Does this make me crazy or crazier?
- No, that is not fair. - Oh.
And trying to prove that I am not crazy is starting to drive me crazy.
Like, what is the statute of limitation on this thing?
Like, when is everyone gonna stop treating me like Girl, Interrupted?
And, you know what, it's not fair because no one's up Andy's ass
about how he's grieving or not grieving.
And let me tell you something.
I don't care how it looks on the outside, my brother is a disaster.
You brother presents
as an all-American classic alpha male,
who's got it all together.
And the reason people buy into it is because he's so good at selling it.
[inhales sharply] He's just, he's handsome,
he's smart, he's successful, he's good-looking...
And when he talks to you with those eyes
and he zeroes in on you in a crowded room,
it's like you're the only person in the universe.
- Okay. All right. - With the... No.
So, my point is that that is a mask that he presents to the world,
but just beneath the surface, he's a giant, simmering mess of a man-child.
And the tragedy is that nobody notices
- until... - [sniffing]
What... What's going on?
Do you smell that smell?
[sniffs] That smells like actual shit.
It's my neighbors.
They're doing revenge construction because of the whole dog thing,
and they put a porta-potty
for their work crew right on my property line just to fuck with me.
What?
- Did you talk to them? - I did.
And that might have been my first mistake.
I also may or may not have gathered some poop from their dog,
put it in a gift bag, and presented it at their doorstep.
[laughing]
Just in case you thought you'd cornered the market on crazy.
[snorts]
[groans]
- Oh, my God. Motherfuckers. - Yeah.
[shushes]
Do you want to know what I think your problem is?
I really do.
I don't think you're crazy enough.
So, Owen Ashe...
Yeah, what about him?
He doesn't really strike me as someone you'd be friends with.
[shudders]
Well, that's a completely understandable reaction
based on the brief glimpse that you've gotten of him.
Oh, so there's more to him?
No, no, no, no, no, you-you hit the nail right on the head.
Careful. [laughs]
Uh, we're more friendly acquaintances, I would say.
- Okay, I got it. - Kinda like we are. You and I.
Okay, I don't... I don't think that's what we are,
- is it? - Oh, well, what are we?
I'll let you know when I decide.
Keep me posted.
- Hello. - [Grace] Hello.
Hi, I'm so sorry. I just have to talk to him for a minute.
Really? We're kind of having a moment here.
- Really. - It's... It's fine.
I'm gonna meet you back at the house. It's fine.
I'll see you back there.
What do you want, Grace?
Do you think I'm an idiot?
No.
I don't know what you're up to, but I don't like it.
I'm gonna need a little more context for that.
You and Barney are up to something.
Barney and I are always up to something. He's my financial manager.
And most of his clients don't pay him in paper bags full of cash.
[sighs] He could be working for my father, you know?
And instead, this.
Okay, the cash was a onetime thing.
I know how bad that looks. [stammers] There's nothing to worry about.
Right.
So, I say again, do you think I'm an idiot?
- I believe we've covered this, Grace. - Hey!
You almost got him killed once.
If you do it again, I'll kill you myself.
He's lucky to have you, Grace.
No shit.
[dance music playing in distance]
[music continues, louder]
[crying]
[breathes shakily]
- Hey. - [inhales sharply] Hey.
- Uh... - Are you okay?
Are you asking or just being polite? [chuckles]
I-I think now I'm asking.
Well, um, let's see.
This morning, the man I'm dating murdered a deer with a rifle right in front of me,
and then the FBI and Interpol came to take away all of his hard drives,
so, yeah, I'm doing great.
But other than that, pretty great weekend, huh?
What is it with the men I choose?
- Hey. - [stammers] No,
I'm just saying, like, the top of the barrel
is the emotionally unavailable ex-husband of one of my closest friends.
I mean, like, I don't even know what I'm doing anymore.
Just to be clear, you're saying I'm the top of the barrel?
[chuckles]
Come on.
If it's any consolation, I think we're all pretty fucked up in one way or the other.
Thanks, it's not.
I just never expected at this age to feel so alone.
Well, honey, I'm right there with you.
But, look, you got out of this thing with Paul, right?
That was bad.
But you're out of it.
And now you're already better off.
Give it some time, all right?
It's... You only have to get it right once.
Do you think I'm making a mistake dating Ashe?
[sighs] I...
I think you might be.
[stammers] But you seem to be hanging out with him.
Well, yeah, that's how I know that you shouldn't.
[sniffles, sighs]
[sniffles]
It's nice to be able to talk to you like this.
Come on.
It wasn't all bad, was it?
You know it wasn't.
[romantic music playing]
[sultry music playing]
[moaning, breathing heavily]
- Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. - Okay, okay.
Wait, sorry.
I'm sorry, I just... [pants]
I don't think we should do this.
Yeah.
I'm just trying not to complicate my life with sex anymore.
You're probably...
right.
[dance music continues]
I mean, the whole college thing,
it just comes too early, you know?
Right? I mean, we don't know anything about anything.
We don't even know who we are yet, and we're just...
supposed to start making these huge life decisions about who we're going to be?
I mean,
how can you decide who you're gonna be if you don't even know who you are?
Right?
You wanna go upstairs?
Sure.
[partygoer] Chug. Chug. Chug. Chug. Chug. Chug. Whoo!
Yeah! Nice.
Tori, is that your Audi in the driveway?
- Yeah. - Sorry, you're blocking me.
I need to get out.
[sighs] I'll be right back.
[police siren blares]
- [Mel] Crap. - [Ali groaning]
[groaning] Oh, my God.
[both grunting, straining]
- [groans] Oh, my God, this is heavy. - [shushes]
- Oh, fuck. - Bend at the knees.
- Where else would I bend from? - Fuck me.
Okay, I think... I-I...
Oh... [stammers] ...I give up.
- It was a valiant effort. - No, we can do this.
- I-I think we should stop. - Um, too late! [screams]
Oh, shit.
[exclaims] Oh, shit.
Right?
[gasps] Run!
- [breathes shakily, screams] - [dog barking]
[gasps] Mel!
- I'm okay. Keep running. - [whimpers]
[pants] Oh, shit.
What the fuck?
Are you insane?
Oh, my God.
[police radio chatter]
[cop] Watch your head.
[breathing shakily]
[sighs]
Tori?
- Ma'am! - Oh, no, please sir.
- Mom? - [Mel] Please, sir. Wait.
[stammers] Tori!
That's my daughter. Please, sir...
[stammering]
[scoffs]
[dance music playing]
Hey.
- Whoa. - Take me home, Coop.
[exhales sharply] Okay. Okay. Let's go.
- Watch your step. - [phone vibrating]
Jesus.
I gotta take this. I'm so sorry, give me a second.
Hey.
Is everything okay?
[Ali] Uh, define okay.
- What's going on? - Uh, Tori got arrested.
- What? - Yeah, it was a DUI.
You have got to be kidding me.
Mm-mmm. They won't release her to me, Andy.
It has to be a parent.
Ali, I'm three hours away. Call Mel.
So, uh, f-funny story...
[sighs]
That sounds like a rain check.
I'm so sorry. I have to go home.
Is everything okay?
Yeah. Uh...
[sighs] I'll call you.
Maybe I'll even pick up.
Pick up.
Shit.
Hey, guys, I gotta go back to Westmont.
No way. What, now? It's the middle of the night.
I know. Apparently, Tori and Mel were arrested.
- [chuckles] - What?
I'm gonna need the long version of that story.
Believe me, so will I.
- What's happening? - Don't worry about it.
- [Ashe] Who needs a refill? - Hey, I can't.
- Sorry, I-I gotta go home now. - What? Right...
- Like, right now, now? - Yeah.
- You okay? - I'm fine. It's a family situation.
Well, my driver's done for the evening, but take one of the cars from the garage.
Great, thank you so much. That's... Oh, God! Fuck. Hunter.
They're still at the beach. Don't worry.
I'll take him home with Delilah tomorrow.
- Thank you. - All right.
- Let's go. - You're not going anywhere.
- I'll drive you. - You don't need to do that. It's fine.
No, I think I do because I'm pretty much the only sober one here right now.
I am fine.
You're not.
I'm driving.
Okay? Let's go.
- Keep an eye on Barney. - [Ashe] Keys are in it.
- Okay. Thank you, Grace. I mean it. - [chuckles] Now we can have some fun.
