00:00:00Girls, your father's here with the cake.
00:00:05Cake!
00:00:07I can't believe I finally finished.
00:00:11I know, it's about time.
00:00:13Hey, we can't all graduate in four years.
00:00:15Oh, I'll get it.
00:00:20Hi, can I help you?
00:00:21Special Agent Wayne, is Henry Dashwood here?
00:00:23Uh, is there a problem?
00:00:24Eleanor, Henry Dashwood, we have a warrant for your arrest.
00:00:27What?
00:00:28You have to come with us now.
00:00:29Daddy?
00:00:30It will be okay.
00:00:31Daddy, what's happening?
00:00:32Call our attorney!
00:00:33Henry?
00:00:34Dad?
00:00:35You have the right to remain silent.
00:00:37What's going on?
00:00:38I don't know.
00:00:42Your husband is accused of fraud, what's commonly known as a Ponzi scheme.
00:00:46What does that mean?
00:00:48Well, basically, it's when a person takes an investor's money, promises a big return,
00:00:52and is paid with other investors' money.
00:00:54But in reality, most of the money is pocketed illegally
00:00:57by whoever is running the scheme.
00:00:59My husband would never do that.
00:01:01Well, I'll defend him as best I can.
00:01:03But the government's case, if they win, Mr. Dashwood would owe a lot of money.
00:01:09The authorities have a list of a couple hundred investors.
00:01:12So what comes next?
00:01:14Well, they have a search warrant to search your home, and they'll take any evidence with
00:01:18them.
00:01:19His accounts have already been frozen, so there will be no access to any of his money.
00:01:23But what about the house?
00:01:25What about my home?
00:01:26Well, remember, he hasn't been convicted.
00:01:29If Henry is found guilty, they'll most likely auction it off.
00:01:33But for the time being, they'll put a lien on it.
00:01:35Do you think he's guilty?
00:01:37Well, what I think is irrelevant, but the authorities seem to be building a good case.
00:01:42I'll do everything I can.
00:01:44So what's the worst case scenario?
00:01:47So what's the worst case scenario?
00:01:49If convicted, major prison time.
00:01:53The family seems subdued today for the sentencing of Henry Dashwood.
00:01:58Dashwood was sentenced to a maximum 75 years in prison.
00:02:02Mom, please turn that off.
00:02:04We have enough to worry about.
00:02:06But your father, we have to appeal this.
00:02:08We don't have any money.
00:02:10Guess what?
00:02:11We made the front page of the tabloids.
00:02:13Oh, as if that's something to be proud of.
00:02:16What are we going to do?
00:02:19Marianne and I are going to get jobs.
00:02:21And we're going to pay our own way.
00:02:23We are?
00:02:24Yes.
00:02:25Well, what about Margaret?
00:02:27Her medicine is more than $3,000 a month.
00:02:30Plus doctor visits.
00:02:32Before that was nothing, but now...
00:02:34Okay, but don't we have health insurance?
00:02:36That's with health insurance.
00:02:37Well, we've lost everything.
00:02:39I am not going to lose Margaret, too.
00:02:40No, Mom.
00:02:41We'll get her enough of the medicine.
00:02:43Do you think we can make enough?
00:02:45Well, your Aunt Charlotte has offered me a place to stay,
00:02:48and so if I work in her shop,
00:02:50I may be able to bring in...
00:02:53a third of what we need.
00:02:56Okay.
00:02:57Alright.
00:02:58Well, Marianne and I will just make up the rest.
00:03:01I mean, all we need are jobs.
00:03:04Oh.
00:03:05This looks promising.
00:03:07Hi.
00:03:08I am calling about the job listing.
00:03:09Okay, thank you.
00:03:10It's already been filled.
00:03:11Oh.
00:03:12Yes, I'll see you in Paris.
00:03:14Sorry to keep you waiting.
00:03:15No problem.
00:03:16You're Miss Dashwood, correct?
00:03:17Oh, please, call me Eleanor.
00:03:18Dashwood.
00:03:19Where have I heard that name?
00:03:20I'm concerned your work experience is insufficient for the required qualifications.
00:03:25Um, but I have worked extensively, but...
00:03:26Good luck to know.
00:03:27Hi.
00:03:28Hi.
00:03:29I'm calling about the executive assistant position.
00:03:30I'm calling about the executive assistant position.
00:03:32You're Miss Dashwood, correct?
00:03:33Oh, please, call me Eleanor.
00:03:34Dashwood.
00:03:35Where have I heard that name?
00:03:37I'm concerned your work experience is insufficient for the required qualification.
00:03:46Um, but I have worked extensively, but...
00:03:49Good luck to know.
00:03:50Hi!
00:03:51I'm calling about the executive assistant position.
00:03:53I'm calling about the executive assistant position.
00:03:57Okay.
00:03:58Babe.
00:03:59Dashwood.
00:04:00Hmm.
00:04:01I...
00:04:02I don't know if you're the best suited for this job.
00:04:04But you haven't asked me a single question.
00:04:05I just...
00:04:06I don't think you fit into the culture we have here at the office.
00:04:07Sorry.
00:04:08Hey.
00:04:09Ugh.
00:04:10You're calling about a job?
00:04:11If you're calling about the file clerk job, it has been filled.
00:04:13For all their inquiries, please press the zero.
00:04:15And the ones that aren't filled?
00:04:16You need more work experience.
00:04:17This is way harder than I thought.
00:04:18If it makes you feel any better, having work experience doesn't help either.
00:04:19Everybody takes one look at Dashwood Investments and promptly kicks me out the door.
00:04:20I'm sorry.
00:04:21I'm sorry.
00:04:22You're calling about a job?
00:04:23If you're calling about the file clerk job, it has been filled.
00:04:24For all their inquiries, please press the zero.
00:04:25And the ones that aren't filled?
00:04:26You need more work experience.
00:04:27This is way harder than I thought.
00:04:28If it makes you feel any better, having work experience doesn't help either.
00:04:43Everybody takes one look at Dashwood Investments and promptly kicks me out the door.
00:04:47I'm sorry.
00:04:48I mean, there are jobs out there.
00:04:51They're just not quite as glamorous as I'd hoped.
00:05:00Okay.
00:05:01This is a job.
00:05:02This is a job.
00:05:03This is a job.
00:05:04I am getting paid for this job.
00:05:06And dancing with my banana.
00:05:09Who knew this would be so hard?
00:05:20That costume stunk, too.
00:05:22Ugh.
00:05:23I can't believe you got fired.
00:05:25I know.
00:05:26How was I supposed to know that the sprinklers were gonna go off?
00:05:28And that the suit couldn't get wet?
00:05:30I don't know.
00:05:31Oh, well that's why it smelled.
00:05:32It's never been washed.
00:05:34Can it get any worse?
00:05:36I don't think so.
00:05:37I just got fired from a job where I wore a gigantic gorilla costume and waved around
00:05:43a banana at cars passing by.
00:05:45Okay.
00:05:46I don't think she's for us.
00:05:47Why not?
00:05:48Recognize her?
00:05:49I don't think she's for us.
00:05:52Oh, I just thought of you, could I'm supposed to.
00:05:53So, she's cleaning.
00:05:54How hard is that?
00:05:56I don't want the customers to be uncomfortable thinking that she might steal from me.
00:06:10I don't want the customers to be uncomfortable thinking that she might steal from you.
00:06:19She'll be out of sight, and she's gotta be pretty desperate.
00:06:24Alright, we'll give her a chance, but you keep your eye on her.
00:06:33Hi.
00:06:34Hi! Any luck?
00:06:35I don't know if you call it luck, but I got a job.
00:06:38I am now the new custodial technician at this Bond Main Street.
00:06:43Custodial technician?
00:06:45Janitor.
00:06:46Sounds lovely.
00:06:48Yeah, but I think it's gonna be enough to cover our expenses.
00:06:51I'm just worried about Margaret's medicine.
00:06:53Well, my options were fast food, which pay nothing, or a grocery bagger that pays even less.
00:06:59I was really starting to give up, but I checked the internet one more time,
00:07:03and you are now looking at the new copy assistant to a marketing firm.
00:07:06You're kidding! That's amazing! How did you do that?
00:07:12Well, I think you'd do great here.
00:07:16Can you start Monday, Miss Webb?
00:07:19I think you thought I was cute.
00:07:22Wait, so are there any other jobs available?
00:07:25No, but I should be bringing in enough to cover us.
00:07:29Okay. Well, we still need to be frugal.
00:07:32Yeah. How am I gonna get to work?
00:07:35The bus is stinky and always running late. We need a car.
00:07:38Well, I should actually walk to the spot from here, but a car would come in handy.
00:07:42I'll start looking for something cheap.
00:07:45Something nice.
00:07:47Of course.
00:07:48All right, well, I gotta get ready. I'm going to dinner with John.
00:07:51John? I haven't heard about him in a while.
00:07:53I think he was worried about the job that Dad got him, but he sounded happy, so it must still be going through.
00:07:57Good. Have fun.
00:07:59Thanks.
00:08:04How are we gonna be able to afford a car?
00:08:14Have you heard from your Dad recently?
00:08:17My Mom's talked to him. She feels the same.
00:08:21It's been really hard on everybody.
00:08:23My poor Mom, she just didn't see that coming at all.
00:08:27She could really use some good news right about now.
00:08:30Well, I have some.
00:08:32Really?
00:08:33The Switzerland job.
00:08:35I thought they were gonna dump me after your Dad was arrested, but they're flying me out to start the job.
00:08:40That's great.
00:08:41Yeah.
00:08:42I'm going out there to get trained, start working, and I'll get to explore Switzerland.
00:08:47So when do you leave?
00:08:49This week.
00:08:52And any idea when you're gonna return?
00:08:54I don't know. I mean, no exact dates yet, but the plan is to get started.
00:08:59Um, and then transfer me to one of the offices here in the US.
00:09:03Oh, good.
00:09:05Hey.
00:09:06I'll miss you.
00:09:08I'll miss you too.
00:09:09I'll call you every day.
00:09:10Guess what? I got us a car. Actually, it's a truck.
00:09:27What happened to our TV?
00:09:28Yes, I had to pay for the truck somehow.
00:09:31Listen, it's not what we're used to, but it's gonna get us from A to B.
00:09:35Come look.
00:09:36Come.
00:09:38You're gonna love us. Come.
00:09:39Well, it can get us from point A to point B, but can it get us back to point A?
00:09:47My friend gave me a great deal.
00:09:49Her dad doesn't need it anymore.
00:09:51I already missed the flat screen.
00:09:53No need.
00:09:55I got us.
00:09:56A replacement.
00:09:58This keeps getting better and better.
00:09:59Doesn't it?
00:10:01Do you want to take it for a spin?
00:10:04Honestly?
00:10:06No.
00:10:07Yeah.
00:10:10Alright, so here's where we keep all the fresh linens.
00:10:12We have sheets here, towels here, everything's organized by size.
00:10:16So it's face, hand, and body.
00:10:18Got it.
00:10:20Okay, good.
00:10:22And your uniform.
00:10:24Uniform?
00:10:26Yeah.
00:10:28Great.
00:10:33How's the work going?
00:10:34Oh, it's fine.
00:10:35Uh, the bathrooms need a deep cleaning, so you can stay late one night this week and do that.
00:10:40No problem.
00:10:45I'm Hannah, the office manager.
00:10:47I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.
00:10:48You've got a lot of work ahead of you.
00:10:50We come up with marketing campaigns for tons of accounts.
00:10:52People will come to you throughout the day with presentations, contracts, whatever, to copy.
00:10:58And this will be your domain.
00:11:00Good luck with the machines.
00:11:01But don't sweat it if you go through a few reams of paper trying to figure it out.
00:11:04Just be sure to log in the copy job with what client it goes for.
00:11:09That way we can build them.
00:11:11Okay.
00:11:13Well, I was just wondering-
00:11:14I'm at extension 377 if you get in a panic.
00:11:30Hi.
00:11:31You're new here, aren't you?
00:11:32Yes.
00:11:33I hope you can do this.
00:11:34I need 50 copies collated, three-hole punched, and bound.
00:11:37Okay?
00:11:38Don't use those coil things.
00:11:39Brad's or Brackis will be fine.
00:11:40I'll be back in half an hour.
00:11:41Okay.
00:11:43Grab some targets.
00:11:48Okay.
00:11:58Yeah.
00:11:59Well, that was easy.
00:12:04Come on.
00:12:05What did I do?
00:12:07What is with you?
00:12:08Don't stress.
00:12:11It's just a jam.
00:12:14I'm Brandon.
00:12:15You must be the new copy girl.
00:12:16Yes.
00:12:17Marianne, Marianne, um, Webb.
00:12:19Just need a copy.
00:12:21Just need a copy.
00:12:23That was...
00:12:24Easy.
00:12:26I think the user manual's on the shelf.
00:12:29Really?
00:12:31Good luck.
00:12:32Hey.
00:12:33My hands are killing me.
00:12:34I'm sorry.
00:12:35Oh, you want to use some of my lotion?
00:12:36Yeah.
00:12:37Thanks.
00:12:38Mmm.
00:12:39I forgot how good this one smells.
00:12:40Hey, I've come a long way.
00:12:41Remember when I used to make those concoctions out of clovers?
00:12:42Oh, yeah.
00:12:43How could I forget that?
00:12:44Wow, this already makes my hands feel better.
00:12:45Really?
00:12:46Yeah.
00:12:47I'm not even just saying that to be nice.
00:12:48Can I keep this bottle?
00:12:49Yeah.
00:12:50Go for it.
00:12:51How was your day?
00:12:52It was stressful.
00:12:53I mean, who would have thought making copies could be so difficult?
00:12:54What are you watching?
00:12:55I have no idea.
00:12:56The reception on this thing is terrible.
00:12:57Well, with all that tinfoil and the antennae, I bet you we could pick up a talk show from
00:12:59Mars.
00:13:00Oh, yeah.
00:13:01How could I forget that?
00:13:02Mmm, I forgot how good this one smells.
00:13:03I forgot how good this one smells.
00:13:04Hey, I've come a long way.
00:13:05Remember when I used to make those concoctions out of clovers?
00:13:06Oh, yeah.
00:13:07How could I forget that?
00:13:08Wow, this already makes my hands feel better.
00:13:09Really?
00:13:10Yeah, I'm not even just saying that to be nice.
00:13:11Can I keep this bottle?
00:13:12Yeah, go for it.
00:13:13How was your day?
00:13:14It was stressful.
00:13:15I have no idea.
00:13:16The reception on this thing is terrible.
00:13:18Well, with all that tinfoil and the antennae, I bet you we could pick up a talk show from
00:13:22Mars.
00:13:23Good?
00:13:24Yeah.
00:13:25Hey, I was just looking for you.
00:13:28Oh.
00:13:29Oh.
00:13:30Um, can you put together five packets from the file on this drive?
00:13:34Oh, uh, okay.
00:13:35When do you need it by?
00:13:36Um, after lunch.
00:13:37Is that enough time?
00:13:38Sure.
00:13:39Great.
00:13:45Be careful, dear.
00:13:46My arthritis is acting up, so my feet are awfully tender.
00:13:49Oh, okay.
00:13:50Uh, excuse me.
00:13:51Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear.
00:13:53Try this.
00:13:54What is it?
00:13:55It's a lotion my sister makes.
00:13:57Okay.
00:14:02That scent.
00:14:03What is it?
00:14:04Ambrosia?
00:14:05Uh, I don't know.
00:14:06It's fruit flowers.
00:14:07Not sure.
00:14:08Mmm.
00:14:09Very refreshing.
00:14:11You're welcome.
00:14:12Uh, okay.
00:14:15Let's see.
00:14:16Alright.
00:14:19Okay.
00:14:20Print.
00:14:21To.
00:14:22Copier.
00:14:30Uh, I-T-apostrophe-S.
00:14:33It's a contraction.
00:14:42Hmm.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:49No.
00:14:50That is the amount.
00:14:51Okay.
00:14:52Bye.
00:14:53Hey, Hannah.
00:14:54Um.
00:14:55Yeah.
00:14:56I noticed a typo on one of the copies.
00:14:58Print it anyway.
00:14:59Are you sure?
00:15:00It's pretty obvious.
00:15:01Our people know what they're doing.
00:15:03It might be a play on words.
00:15:05I'm just gonna ask Brandon.
00:15:07Double-check.
00:15:08It's for Brandon?
00:15:09Definitely.
00:15:10Just print it.
00:15:11I'm just trying to help.
00:15:13I know you think you are, but your job is simple.
00:15:15Copy.
00:15:16Staple.
00:15:17Hole punch.
00:15:18Don't overstep.
00:15:33Oh, my feet.
00:15:34Was there something wrong with your pedicure?
00:15:36Oh, no.
00:15:37I feel like I'm 20 again.
00:15:39This dear girl gave me some lotion.
00:15:41It's really easing the pain.
00:15:43Oh, well, that's good.
00:15:46Do you know where I could find her?
00:15:48That girl who was gathering the towels?
00:15:50That girl?
00:15:51Oh, miss.
00:15:52Miss.
00:15:53Oh, hi.
00:15:54How are your feet?
00:15:55Oh, they feel better than they have in years.
00:15:57I'm wondering if you have any more of that magic lotion.
00:16:00Oh, and Betty.
00:16:01She has terrible back aches.
00:16:03It's her mattress, and her husband's too cheap to replace it.
00:16:06He always says, if it's not broke, don't fix it.
00:16:09But he's just a tightwad.
00:16:10I think this lotion is just what she needs.
00:16:13Well, I don't make it.
00:16:15My sister does, but...
00:16:16Oh, honey, to feel like this, I'm willing to pay for her time and ingredients.
00:16:20You talk to your sister and let me know next week.
00:16:22Okay, I will.
00:16:24Okay.
00:16:25Okay.
00:16:28Sorry.
00:16:29Just don't let it interfere with your work.
00:16:31Got it.
00:16:39Hey.
00:16:40Hey.
00:16:41What are you doing?
00:16:42Saving money.
00:16:43Are you washing those?
00:16:45Hey, whatever cuts costs.
00:16:47All right, all right.
00:16:48So, Mom called.
00:16:49Oh, how's she doing?
00:16:51Oh, how's she doing?
00:16:53She's been better.
00:16:54She is going to send Margaret to visit us.
00:16:56Is everything okay?
00:16:57Yeah, I think so.
00:16:58I think she's just having a hard time at school, just kids.
00:17:01Poor thing.
00:17:02It's like she doesn't have enough to worry about.
00:17:04Yeah.
00:17:05Where are you going?
00:17:06Oh, I'm going to go back to the spa.
00:17:07I'm going to pick up some extra hours, so I'll wait up.
00:17:10I will.
00:17:11Oh, hey.
00:17:12Can I get a couple more bottles of that lotion?
00:17:14I just gave you a full bottle.
00:17:16I know, but there's this customer there who loves it.
00:17:18She wants to buy some.
00:17:20Really?
00:17:21Okay.
00:17:22Okay.
00:17:23Bye.
00:17:24Bye.
00:17:25Yeah, I'm here.
00:17:31Yes, I will get it.
00:17:36Bye.
00:17:37What's it going to be?
00:17:38Bye.
00:17:39We're working in the bathroom.
00:17:43I'm working in the gym.
00:17:48I'm working to make the gym.
00:17:51I'll shine.
00:17:52Why?
00:17:53Wow, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:17:55Can't you hear my alarm clock?
00:17:58gonna go off so early in the morn. Can't you hear Fran saying, please Eleanor scrub the floor.
00:18:11Eleanor clean the floor. What? Eleanor clean the floor. Who? Eleanor clean the floor. Please
00:18:17clean. Oh my god. Uh, it's okay. I'm a lawyer. How, how does the fact that you're a lawyer
00:18:23make me feel better? I just stopped by to pick up some stuff in Fran's office. Oh. And you are?
00:18:31Yeah, I'm the new custodian. I didn't think there was anyone here. It's okay, it's not every day I get a live
00:18:38concert. Yes, yes, well, you know, I was just, I was trying to prepare for my career in reality
00:18:43television. Oh yeah? Yeah, I thought I'd start with singing and then I'd move on to dance and then, you
00:18:49know, the survival one I wanted to try and maybe the one where I could choose my own husband would be good.
00:18:56Well, I vote for you. Um, Eleanor? Yeah. Um, I should go back to work here. I'm trying to impress my boss.
00:19:09I could put in a good word for you. Oh no, no, no, no, no, that's okay. I need to earn my reputation. Um,
00:19:16um, hey, maybe we could keep the, uh, singing thing between just you and me.
00:19:25Yeah. Um, but only until you're on TV. Because, uh, after that, I make no promises.
00:19:32Oh, that was awesome.
00:19:44Brent? In here? My sister cooking.
00:19:52I took a look at everything. What do you think? I think you have to make some decisions.
00:19:56The spa couldn't bring in so much. You owe a lot of money.
00:20:03Yes. Thank you for stating the obvious.
00:20:06I don't suppose anybody owes you money.
00:20:09I did loan Lucy a 20.
00:20:15How did you get into so much debt?
00:20:17Oh, you know, startup costs, bills.
00:20:23Maybe it's time to give it up. Shut down the spa? No.
00:20:27You could move. Maybe someplace cheaper. Change your lifestyle.
00:20:31Not an option. Fran, I'm just trying to help.
00:20:35You're losing more money every month. And getting second, third, fourth notices of default on your loans.
00:20:41What if I got another loan to float the others?
00:20:46That's just gonna make it worse. How long before they threaten to take everything away?
00:20:54Have they already threatened that?
00:20:57I'll figure something out.
00:20:59Fine.
00:21:01Oh, hey, I was surprised to find someone working so late at the spa.
00:21:06She was cleaning the locker room.
00:21:07Oh, that's Eleanor. She didn't give you any trouble, did she?
00:21:10No. Not at all.
00:21:12She been working for you long?
00:21:14No. Our janitor just quit.
00:21:16Why all the interest?
00:21:18Not interest. Curiosity.
00:21:23Go. Go. Get the guy on the left. I got the guy on the right.
00:21:26Shoot. Shoot.
00:21:27Oh, yeah!
00:21:34Guys, hold on a second.
00:21:35Hi.
00:21:37Hi.
00:21:38Hi. I didn't wake you, did I? What time is it there?
00:21:42Uh, it's... it's ten.
00:21:45Ten? I thought you guys were nine hours ahead.
00:21:47Yeah, uh, I must have set my watch wrong.
00:21:52And how's work going?
00:21:53It's great. It's great, but, uh, it'd be a lot better if we were together.
00:21:58Well, you better hurry up and impress them so you can come home.
00:22:01I'll do my best.
00:22:02Uh, look, I gotta go. Can I call you later?
00:22:05All right, I miss you.
00:22:07All right, you too.
00:22:08All right, guys, I'm back.
00:22:18You completely embarrassed me.
00:22:19What?
00:22:20There's an error in this.
00:22:22I presented this last night to our CEO and a client that would have been worth five million dollars to this company.
00:22:28I was just told to copy it.
00:22:30Typical. Just do the bare minimum, right? Just enough to get lying. Never thinking.
00:22:34I saw the mistake. I took it to my boss and she told me that you would know what you're doing.
00:22:39Wait, you saw this and you let it go?
00:22:41Well, why didn't you see it?
00:22:42Had I seen it, I would have fixed it.
00:22:45Don't blame me because you don't take pride in your work.
00:22:48No, this is what I get. This is what I get for expecting a copy girl to understand.
00:22:58Just go ahead and have a seat and your pedicurist will be right with you.
00:23:02Oh, excuse me.
00:23:03Yes, ma'am.
00:23:05No, I meant her.
00:23:06Are you the one that makes that special lotion?
00:23:08Oh, yeah, that's me. Well, it's actually my sister.
00:23:11Oh, Mrs. Jennings could not stop talking about it. She's the biggest gossip.
00:23:16But when I heard, I figured I'd need to try some.
00:23:19Do you have a bottle I can buy?
00:23:20I do. I do. You know what? It's actually for Mrs. Jennings,
00:23:24but I don't think she comes in until the end of this week.
00:23:27Oh, I'd love it.
00:23:28Okay, I'll go get you one.
00:23:33Anything wrong?
00:23:38Eleanor's selling lotion.
00:23:40Yeah, a customer came in earlier asking about that today.
00:23:44Let me know if any other people are looking for it.
00:23:47Are you going to stop her from selling it?
00:23:49No, not yet.
00:24:03Well, if it isn't the Midnight Idol.
00:24:04Oh, yes. Just one of my many secret identities.
00:24:08Mind if I sit?
00:24:09No, please.
00:24:12You want a break from work?
00:24:14Yeah. The brownies here are amazing.
00:24:17I never tried them.
00:24:20We were properly introduced the other night.
00:24:22Edward Ferris.
00:24:22Eleanor Dashwood. Ferris.
00:24:24You're not by any chance related to...
00:24:26Yeah, Fran is my sister.
00:24:28Oh.
00:24:29Yeah, don't follow me for that.
00:24:30Well, I won't hold your relatives against you if you don't hold mine against me.
00:24:35Oh, that's right. The investment guy.
00:24:37Yeah.
00:24:42So what are you doing?
00:24:43I'm, um, I'm actually trying to make ends meet.
00:24:46It looks intense.
00:24:49Yeah, it's amazing. The things you just can't do without.
00:24:52Like that brownie.
00:24:54And groceries. And medicine.
00:24:58Medicine?
00:24:59Um, not for me. For my little sister.
00:25:02Oh, what's wrong with her?
00:25:03Um, she has a type of leukemia. It's treatable, but the medicine is really expensive.
00:25:09Yeah, money's heartless that way.
00:25:11You're gonna take a lawyer's. Without a good one, your life could be destroyed.
00:25:14I'm lawyers and doctors. What kind of law do you practice?
00:25:18Patent law. Mostly with corporations and stuff.
00:25:20Hey.
00:25:22Yeah, that doesn't make me any more likable, does it?
00:25:24I'll see if I can maybe overlook it.
00:25:28Good.
00:25:32Hey.
00:25:32Hey, dinner's almost ready.
00:25:35Macaroni and cheese?
00:25:36It's a budget meal.
00:25:38Eleanor, you and your budget meals.
00:25:40Are you okay?
00:25:41Yeah, I just, uh, I had a bad day at work.
00:25:44Already?
00:25:46Mm-hmm. I don't really want to talk about it though.
00:25:49Are you sure?
00:25:49Yeah, I just love John's whole long voicemail about it, so.
00:25:53Okay, so I've been going over our budget.
00:25:56Ugh!
00:25:57No, it's good news and bad news.
00:25:59But the good news is we have enough to cover our expenses.
00:26:02The bad news is we're way short on Margaret's.
00:26:04Do we really need to talk about this right now?
00:26:06I have an idea.
00:26:08Okay, what?
00:26:09Your lotion.
00:26:11What about it?
00:26:13It does something to people and the smell is amazing.
00:26:17So I don't know if it's the scent that just makes people feel better or if there's actually
00:26:20something in the lotion, but those bottles you gave me the other day, they're gone.
00:26:24And not to the people they were intended for.
00:26:26Really?
00:26:27I think we can make more.
00:26:29Yeah, sure.
00:26:31I, um, just gonna need some extra ingredients.
00:26:34Let's see.
00:26:36Calendula and passion flowers, cream, fruit.
00:26:40You should buy it in bulk.
00:26:42Are you feeling okay?
00:26:42Yes.
00:26:44I get to go shopping.
00:26:45Just for the ingredients.
00:26:46Okay, all right.
00:26:47I'm on it.
00:26:47Thanks.
00:26:49You can have the mac and cheese without me.
00:26:50Thanks.
00:26:56Thanks.
00:27:18Hi.
00:27:19Hey.
00:27:20Um, I came by to apologize.
00:27:23I was upset yesterday, obviously.
00:27:27But, um, even without the typo, my proposal wasn't what the client wanted.
00:27:33But what you said about me not taking pride in my work, you're wrong.
00:27:41I do take pride in my work.
00:27:43I take too much, actually.
00:27:45That's why, uh, that's why this is a little hard for me to swallow.
00:27:53Okay.
00:27:57Thanks for your understanding.
00:28:07Here you go.
00:28:08Oh, I can't tell you how excited I am about this.
00:28:10Oh, good.
00:28:11I hope you enjoy it.
00:28:12Oh, I will.
00:28:12And I've been telling everybody about it.
00:28:14I'd buy them all a bottle, but nobody ever pays me back.
00:28:16Oh.
00:28:17Oh, it's wonderful.
00:28:18Have you smelled this?
00:28:19That is good.
00:28:22What is that?
00:28:23Lilac?
00:28:24Uh, I don't know what the flowers and this and that.
00:28:27Well, I'm off, ladies.
00:28:28Goodbye.
00:28:29Good night.
00:28:31I have never seen her that happy.
00:28:34Good.
00:28:35So listen, I'm taking off.
00:28:36There's a bunch of towels in the dryer.
00:28:38They're going to be done in like 45 minutes.
00:28:39And I'm going to fold them tomorrow morning.
00:28:41Okay, great.
00:28:49Edward.
00:28:51Hey.
00:28:52How are you?
00:28:53Starving.
00:28:54Have you eaten?
00:28:55No.
00:28:56Of course not.
00:28:57You just got off work.
00:28:58Do you want to join me?
00:28:59Yeah, that'd be great.
00:29:00Awesome.
00:29:03Of course.
00:29:05Of course.
00:29:12I am not ignoring the letters.
00:29:14I...
00:29:26Edward didn't come inside?
00:29:28Apparently not.
00:29:29He just picked up Eleanor.
00:29:31I need you to get something out of Eleanor's locker.
00:29:34What?
00:29:35A bottle of that lotion.
00:29:38You want me to break into her locker?
00:29:40Yes.
00:29:42Is that a problem?
00:29:43No.
00:29:46She just sold some today, though,
00:29:47so I don't think she has any left.
00:29:49Well, then you wait until she brings some more in,
00:29:52and then she won't notice there's any missing.
00:29:56Okay.
00:29:57But you have to set me up with Edward.
00:30:02Done.
00:30:02Yeah, this probably isn't what you had in mind when I mentioned dinner.
00:30:15No, this is perfect.
00:30:17My pleasure.
00:30:18I didn't think a place like this was your style.
00:30:21Well, I wasn't always a lawyer.
00:30:23This just kind of reminds me of growing up.
00:30:25Growing up, I went to garden parties and golf tournaments.
00:30:28But this feels more real.
00:30:29I like it.
00:30:31Good.
00:30:34Ladies first.
00:30:35Uh-oh.
00:30:35Yeah.
00:30:36I don't think this is going to go very well.
00:30:38Well, we'll see.
00:30:39Interesting.
00:30:53Oh, that wasn't great, was it?
00:30:55Um, no, no.
00:30:59All right, let me show you a better one.
00:31:01Okay?
00:31:01Yep.
00:31:03Okay.
00:31:03Step up the line.
00:31:04Okay.
00:31:05Hold the ball out of here.
00:31:07Yes.
00:31:07And then as you let the ball come back, step forward, and then release.
00:31:16I mean, isn't that what it is?
00:31:18Uh, no.
00:31:19So aside from being new to bowling, tell me about yourself.
00:31:26Oh, you don't really want to hear about the investment manager turned custodian.
00:31:31No, no.
00:31:32Skip the dirty laundry.
00:31:36I don't know if it's that easy.
00:31:38You know, we get a lot of letters from investors.
00:31:41Angry, distraught, letters.
00:31:45It's a lot of money.
00:31:46And sometimes I hate my dad for what he did.
00:31:51But I love him.
00:31:54Sounds confusing.
00:31:57Yeah.
00:31:59Your turn.
00:32:02Look out.
00:32:02I'll be watching.
00:32:04Okay.
00:32:04All right.
00:32:10Good form, good.
00:32:12Don't attack, you messed me up.
00:32:14Okay.
00:32:16Oh.
00:32:19Oh.
00:32:22All right.
00:32:23Yeah.
00:32:25Um, can I help?
00:32:27Yes.
00:32:28Okay.
00:32:32All right.
00:32:32Hold this.
00:32:34Put your fingers in there.
00:32:35Done.
00:32:35Good.
00:32:36Okay, step up in the line here.
00:32:37This line?
00:32:38Yes, very good.
00:32:39So you want to center up on that.
00:32:40Good.
00:32:41Okay.
00:32:41And then hold the ball up to about where your chin is.
00:32:44And then step forward as you bring the ball back.
00:32:46I'm scared.
00:32:46Good.
00:32:47No, you're all right.
00:32:47Just don't drop it on my foot.
00:32:48No.
00:32:49Oops.
00:32:51Oh, you did it.
00:32:53Wow.
00:32:54For your help.
00:32:54Anytime.
00:32:56Oh, it's my phone.
00:33:06Hello?
00:33:08Right now?
00:33:10No, that's fine.
00:33:12Totally, of course.
00:33:13Okay, bye.
00:33:15You okay?
00:33:15Yeah, um, my sister is visiting.
00:33:19Oh, uh, I'll take you home.
00:33:20Is that okay?
00:33:21Yeah, yeah.
00:33:22This was really fun, though.
00:33:23Yeah, no, um, I'll tell you what.
00:33:26Promise me a rematch to show off what you've learned,
00:33:28and we'll call it even.
00:33:29It's a deal.
00:33:36Hi.
00:33:36Hey.
00:33:37Hey.
00:33:38Margaret is going to sleep over.
00:33:39Fun.
00:33:40Yeah, we are hard at work making some more soothing scents.
00:33:42Ooh, I want to scrub in.
00:33:44Okay.
00:33:45Water's boiling, so we cannot skip this very important step.
00:33:49So, why do you have to boil it?
00:33:51Oh, trust me, you want to.
00:33:52Otherwise, your skin itches.
00:33:54So, what are you guys making?
00:33:55We're trying something new.
00:33:57It's called Eleanor's Love Potion Lotion.
00:34:00Designed to do what?
00:34:02Oh, get you a date?
00:34:05Okay, I was just on a date, I think, when you called.
00:34:09Seriously?
00:34:10Seriously?
00:34:12Seriously?
00:34:14Well, details.
00:34:15There aren't any details yet.
00:34:17Maybe on the next date.
00:34:25I said I would take the couch.
00:34:30She had so much fun tonight.
00:34:33You want to know what she asked me while you were gone?
00:34:35What?
00:34:37She wanted to know if Dad stole all that money to help pay for the medical bills and medicine.
00:34:43Dad siphoned away more money than we could ever need for medicine or anything else.
00:34:48I know, that's what I told her.
00:34:53We're going to make it through this.
00:34:54We're going to make it through this area we are.
00:34:59It's time.
00:35:02Hi.
00:35:03Hey, it's me.
00:35:04I know.
00:35:05I just wanted to call you and wish you good night.
00:35:08That's really sweet.
00:35:10Hey, where are you?
00:35:10It sounds kind of loud.
00:35:11I'm about to go into a meeting.
00:35:13The conference room here overlooks these beautiful snowy mountains.
00:35:16That sounds amazing.
00:35:18So you can't talk for too long?
00:35:20No, I'm afraid not.
00:35:21But I was just thinking about you and had to talk to you before you went to sleep.
00:35:25Well, I'm really glad you did.
00:35:26Sweet dreams.
00:35:27Sweet dreams.
00:35:28Jon, how are you, man?
00:35:32Starving.
00:35:34Her name is Patrice.
00:35:35Her father owns five restaurant chains across the country.
00:35:39And she's the one that inherits them all.
00:35:41I can't wait to meet her.
00:35:58Hey, did you need something?
00:36:06What?
00:36:06No.
00:36:08Okay.
00:36:09I was going to go grab an early lunch.
00:36:12Good.
00:36:14Do you want to come?
00:36:17Uh, sure.
00:36:22Great.
00:36:29You want to see me?
00:36:30Yes.
00:36:31The toilet is backed up in the men's locker room.
00:36:33And I need you to deal with that and quickly before any clients notice.
00:36:37Okay.
00:36:38Also, the tub in the couple's room needs to be scrubbed.
00:36:41Check that drain for any clogs.
00:36:43We have a client book for treatment room five.
00:36:45And she's allergic to all sorts of laundry.
00:36:47So what you're going to have to do is take a set of sheets and hand wash them with baking soda.
00:36:52Use the scrub brush.
00:36:53Be very thorough.
00:36:55Okay.
00:36:55Oh, and our client scheduled for room two has requested satin sheets.
00:37:00She'll be here at noon.
00:37:03Okay.
00:37:06Okay.
00:37:15Ow!
00:37:25Oh, no.
00:37:44Is the friend stay room two?
00:37:46It's room four.
00:37:47Uh, if you hurry, you can just make it before the client gets here, though.
00:37:50Be sure to put the regular sheets back on that.
00:37:52It makes me sad to think that I'll be leaving, too.
00:37:57But I won't question how.
00:38:02Excuse me?
00:38:03Yeah, can I help you?
00:38:04Uh, I'm looking for a certain lotion to buy.
00:38:06Oh!
00:38:07My aunt has been talking about it.
00:38:09Oh, yeah.
00:38:10Yeah, I'll get you one.
00:38:11Sounds like it.
00:38:12Hey, big Al.
00:38:35Special, please.
00:38:36Um, I'll have one, too.
00:38:42I got it.
00:38:43Oh, thank you.
00:38:46Thanks.
00:38:46You're welcome.
00:38:52Better than I thought.
00:38:55Could you come out here a lot?
00:38:57To the park?
00:38:58Mm-hmm.
00:38:59A lot more relaxing than the break room.
00:39:01Mm.
00:39:03Yeah, it's all the flowers.
00:39:04Do you know that there are 35 different kinds of flowers in this park?
00:39:08Is that a lot?
00:39:09Yeah, can you name even 10 different types of flowers?
00:39:13Red roses.
00:39:14Okay.
00:39:15White roses.
00:39:16Mm-hmm.
00:39:17Yeah, I can't.
00:39:18No, you can't.
00:39:19I can't.
00:39:19Exactly, it's hard.
00:39:21How'd you know that?
00:39:23Flowers are my thing.
00:39:25So who brought you to the coffee room and not a greenhouse?
00:39:27I mean, a girl like you seems like she could get a job anyway.
00:39:33I tried, but I don't really have much work experience.
00:39:38Now, my sister, she could run circles around me.
00:39:42What does she do?
00:39:43Um, she recently got downsized, so she works at a spa.
00:39:47Well, if you'd like, I could, you know, ask her on HR, see if there's any positions opening up.
00:39:53That's okay.
00:39:54I think she's warming up to it.
00:39:58Edward.
00:39:59Wow.
00:40:00Um, what brings you here?
00:40:01Just visiting Eleanor.
00:40:03Really?
00:40:04Yeah.
00:40:05She's working.
00:40:07Well, didn't you guys just close?
00:40:09She does all the behind the scenes things.
00:40:11Besides, I think you could do a lot better.
00:40:16Edward?
00:40:17Hey.
00:40:19Hey, are you done working?
00:40:21Yes.
00:40:21Excellent.
00:40:22How does Indian food sound?
00:40:24Indian food, how delicious.
00:40:26I'm getting hungry myself.
00:40:28Lucy?
00:40:29That sounds delicious.
00:40:30Yes.
00:40:32Okay.
00:40:33Well, I should probably get going.
00:40:34It's been a long day.
00:40:37Do you want a ride?
00:40:37No.
00:40:38I'm okay.
00:40:39Thanks.
00:40:39Well, shall we?
00:40:43Yeah.
00:40:47What happened?
00:40:48I don't know.
00:40:49It just died.
00:40:50It barely made it home.
00:40:51Now it won't start.
00:40:57Okay, pop the hood.
00:40:58Let me take a look.
00:40:59Okay.
00:41:01Is that it?
00:41:02Yeah, I think so.
00:41:03So how was your day?
00:41:06Ugh, I don't know how much longer I can stay working at the spa.
00:41:11Did any jobs open up at your office?
00:41:16No, not really.
00:41:19Hey, I had lunch with a co-worker today.
00:41:20Guy or girl?
00:41:22Guy.
00:41:22Oh, actually, my next question is, is he cute?
00:41:26I don't know.
00:41:28I mean, I guess.
00:41:29Is he, like, John cute?
00:41:31I don't know.
00:41:32Besides, it doesn't matter.
00:41:34John and I are together.
00:41:35And Brandon, he's just, like, way too serious.
00:41:39Oh, and the mature thing isn't really for you.
00:41:41Hey.
00:41:42Okay, try it again.
00:41:44Let's see.
00:41:44All right.
00:41:47Yeah, no.
00:41:49I'm officially calling it.
00:41:50Time of death, 6.13 p.m.
00:41:53No, no, you know what?
00:41:56It just needs maintenance.
00:41:58We don't know the first thing about repair.
00:42:00Well, then we're going to learn.
00:42:02And tomorrow we're going to walk.
00:42:09Isn't this cool, crisp air invigorating?
00:42:11Yeah, it feels like a glacial lake.
00:42:13You know, we wouldn't have to walk if you would have gotten a better car.
00:42:16Hey, you know what?
00:42:17Cars break down.
00:42:18Yeah, but sometimes when you spend less money up front,
00:42:20it costs you more in the long run.
00:42:21Whoa, that's like the smartest thing you've ever said.
00:42:23Rude.
00:42:25So, uh, how much lotion have you sold?
00:42:28What?
00:42:32Oh!
00:42:38Is that John?
00:42:43He's back.
00:42:47I can't believe he did that to you.
00:42:49He lied.
00:42:50You know, there was always something about him that bothered me.
00:42:52Okay, Eleanor, I really don't want to talk about this right now.
00:42:54Let's just go to our work.
00:42:55He lied about Switzerland.
00:42:57We don't know that.
00:42:58Are you kidding?
00:42:59It could be a misunderstanding.
00:43:01That could be his cousin or something.
00:43:03They looked really chummy to be cousins.
00:43:08You know, this never would have happened if Dad hadn't stolen money.
00:43:10Please, don't make this about Dad.
00:43:12It made John very uncomfortable.
00:43:14It's been hard on him.
00:43:15This has been really hard on all of us.
00:43:18When times get tough, you see people's true colors and now we've seen his.
00:43:21You don't know that.
00:43:22Stop defending him!
00:43:24Are my copies ready?
00:43:30Oh, yep.
00:43:32There you go.
00:43:36Hey.
00:43:38You okay?
00:43:39Yeah, just tough morning.
00:43:43Um, I wanted to show you something.
00:43:46Maybe after work?

00:43:48I can't tell you.
00:43:51I want to, but I can't.
00:43:52It's sort of a surprise.

00:44:41Done.

00:55:15tainted the job in Switzerland fell through you said it was still going I know I didn't know what

00:57:15That was a fun date. Tonight? Well, what time? You know, I'm actually still at work, so do you mind if I just call you when I leave?
00:57:29Bye. Hey Lucy. Listen, I just noticed that there was a little bit of damage to the lock on my locker.
00:57:39I was wondering if you knew what happened. Why would I know that?
00:57:43Oh no, I don't know. I mean, you know what? I wouldn't worry about it. It's just that I think I'm missing something.
00:57:49You think? I'm pretty sure. It's nothing huge. I just thought I should mention it.
00:57:56Well, if it's nothing huge, don't bother me with it then. You shouldn't even be selling those bottles anyway.
00:58:03I didn't tell you that that's what's missing.
00:58:07Oh.
00:58:09Lucy, did you have something to do with this?
00:58:12Okay, it wasn't even for me. It was for Edward. Edward asked me to take it.
00:58:19Why would he do that?
00:58:21Um, he wanted it to sell to some cosmetics company.
00:58:25A cosmetics company?
00:58:27Yeah, he says it's worth a fortune. Men, huh?
00:58:31Oh, I'm sorry. Watch it. Sorry.
00:58:46Eleanor, you really need to maintain a much more professional appearance.
00:58:49Okay. I'm sorry. Um, Lucy was just telling me about she and Edward. Um...
00:58:56Eleanor.
00:58:57What?
00:58:58You didn't really think that Edward was hanging around you for your personality, did you?
00:59:03Oh.
00:59:17Brandon! Hey! How was your day?
00:59:19I've had better.
00:59:21I'm sorry. Hey, you want to, uh, come over? Eleanor is making Chicken Cordon Bleu.
00:59:26Thank you. But, um... I think it's best we just kept this professional.
00:59:32Hey, I was just calling you.
00:59:49What's up?
00:59:50The lotion.
00:59:51Edward stole a bottle.
00:59:52He actually got Lucy to do it.
00:59:55What?
00:59:56Why?
00:59:57To sell it to some big company.
00:59:59But that's my lotion.
01:00:01How do we stop them?
01:00:02Well, I don't think we can.
01:00:03It's not protected by a patent or anything.
01:00:05A patent?
01:00:06Yeah, Edward's a patent attorney.
01:00:08I can't believe I didn't see this coming.
01:00:10We were just getting started.
01:00:13Can't we get our own lawyer?
01:00:16What lawyer can we possibly afford?
01:00:21Brandon blew me off today.
01:00:23John lies, Edward steals, and Brandon blows you off.
01:00:28How do you really like me?
01:00:30We're doomed.
01:00:31Excuse me.
01:00:32My romantic sensibilities refuse to accept that.
01:00:36Ooh, staunch denial.
01:00:37I like it.
01:00:38What are we doing with our lives?
01:00:40I don't know.
01:00:41I don't want to keep working at the spa, but we need the money.
01:00:45Just quit.
01:00:46You know, we should get like a temporary job at the mall or something.
01:00:52What?
01:00:52Oh, my God.
01:00:53Don't read this.
01:00:55Oh, my God.
01:00:56Oh, my God.
01:00:56I can't believe we need the money.
01:00:57Oh, my God.
01:00:58I can't believe we need the money.
01:01:00Oh, my God.
01:01:01Oh, my God.
01:01:02Oh, my God.
01:01:03Yeah, I'm working on it just need a little more time. We don't have more time. I keep calling her. She's not ready
01:01:11Everyone is just waiting on how to make this healing lotion work

01:01:30Hey John oh
01:01:32Oh

01:01:40Yeah, that sounds great
01:01:47Eleanor hey I tried calling you yeah, I've been really busy. Can I give you a lift home? No, I'm good
01:01:53How can you trust John he called and apologized I think it's worth another chance he lied to you and pretended to leave the country
01:02:07It's not like I have very many options now that Brandon's blowing me off. You know you could go a week without a boyfriend
01:02:17Come in
01:02:19I was just taking off
01:02:21I
01:02:23Hi, hi, hi

01:02:29So we're gonna cook up your little hobby. I
01:02:32Thought we were going to dinner sure after this, okay?
01:02:35Okay
01:02:37You're not gonna say anything
01:02:45Here it is
01:02:55How was dinner?
01:02:57Fine
01:02:58So we're good now, right?
01:02:59You're not gonna say anything?
01:03:01Yes
01:03:02If the information on here is accurate then your secret is safe
01:03:11Edward, how are you?
01:03:13Uh, good. Is Eleanor here?
01:03:15Uh, no I haven't seen her. Are you free Friday?
01:03:17Uh, I'm busy, thanks
01:03:23Brant!
01:03:37Yes
01:03:38You seem awfully excited
01:03:40New business deal coming through
01:03:44Oh?
01:03:45Um, did you need something?
01:03:47Yeah, where's Eleanor?
01:03:49I don't know. She didn't show up today. It's unacceptable really, but what can you expect from people like that?
01:04:03Can I buy you a brownie?
01:04:04Think a brownie can undo what you've done?
01:04:08Okay
01:04:10You have to help me out here
01:04:12Your scheme
01:04:14Stealing the formula for the lotion to sell off
01:04:17I haven't stolen anything
01:04:18Okay, a technicality
01:04:19Counseling got Lucy to do it for you
01:04:21Lucy?
01:04:22Oh, you can't even admit it
01:04:24Admit what?
01:04:28You really don't know what I'm talking about?
01:04:30No
01:04:32You didn't ask Lucy to steal a bottle of lotion from my locker?
01:04:35No
01:04:36She said you did
01:04:38Who did?
01:04:39Lucy
01:04:40Okay, you trusted Lucy
01:04:42And then Fran said that
01:04:45I don't know who to trust
01:04:51I don't know who to trust
01:04:54You can trust me
01:04:55Eleanor
01:04:56I would never do something to hurt you or your family
01:05:01You have to believe me
01:05:04I'm so sorry I thought it was you
01:05:07Don't be, I understand why you'd be upset
01:05:10So wait, did Lucy steal it?
01:05:12I don't know
01:05:14And if not for you, then who?
01:05:16Wait, what was this formula? A lotion?
01:05:19Yes, that lotion that Marianne makes with the flowers
01:05:21Flowers?
01:05:23Fran
01:05:24Fran?
01:05:25Yeah, Fran
01:05:26She had something in her office
01:05:27Instructions and ingredients
01:05:29Instructions? What would she have?
01:05:31Wait a second
01:05:33Marianne was going to teach John Willoughby
01:05:36I have to call Marianne
01:05:37Hi, I...
01:05:38How could you?
01:05:39Calm down
01:05:41You stole it
01:05:43Don't be so naive
01:05:44It's worth a fortune
01:05:45It's wrong
01:05:46You're such an idealist
01:05:47Don't you see?
01:05:48This solves everything for me
01:05:50You actually think you're right?
01:05:52Well, it's not that black and white, Edward
01:05:55Give it back
01:05:57I don't know
01:05:58I don't know
01:05:59I don't know
01:06:00I don't know
01:06:01I don't know
01:06:02I don't know
01:06:03I don't know
01:06:04I don't know
01:06:06Give it back
01:06:08The formula?
01:06:09It's too late
01:06:11Fran
01:06:13I sold it
01:06:14I'm just waiting for payment to come in
01:06:15Don't you see?
01:06:16I took care of everything
01:06:28Hey, I got your message
01:06:30Did you really think that I wouldn't find out?
01:06:33Look, it's not what you think
01:06:34Oh, okay, so you didn't steal my lotion and sell it to Fran Ferris?
01:06:38Okay, that part's right
01:06:39But I had a reason
01:06:41Oh, a reason?
01:06:42Wow, what a relief
01:06:43Look, Fran's been blackmailing me
01:06:45It's a tough situation
01:06:47Try me
01:06:48Alright?
01:06:49I had a friend
01:06:50And she got pregnant
01:06:52If my family found out, it would be a disaster for me
01:06:55For you?
01:06:57I cannot believe I ever loved you
01:07:01You only care about yourself
01:07:03Hey, now that's pretty hypocritical coming from you, Marianne
01:07:06Well, at least I am ashamed of it
01:07:08It's not my fault
01:07:10Fran made me do it
01:07:11Oh, please, don't tell me you didn't have a choice
01:07:13I didn't!
01:07:14Look, if your father hadn't been arrested, everything would have been fine
01:07:17Until I found out that you lied to us all
01:07:20Why didn't you just break up with me?
01:07:23Because...
01:07:25I love you
01:07:28Let go! Get off of me!
01:07:30Hey, hey, hey!
01:07:31Stay out of this!
01:07:32Just let her go, man
01:07:33Fine
01:07:34Let's go, Brandon
01:07:35Wait, you know this guy?
01:07:37Wait, you know this guy?
01:07:38Who's cheating now, you little skank?
01:07:41Oh!
01:07:50John and Fran tried to steal the formula
01:07:52Tried?
01:07:53They did steal it
01:07:54Fran's been drowning in debt, she must have seen this as her way out
01:07:56So what are you gonna do?
01:07:57I mean, you can't let them get away with it, can't you call the police?
01:08:00No, that won't amount to anything
01:08:02This is a nightmare
01:08:04There is one thing we can do
01:08:05What?
01:08:06We can beat Fran to it
01:08:10Alright, this pitch has to be perfect, it's a long shot, but I'm hoping to listen to me
01:08:15And then how do you know that?
01:08:17They're one of our biggest accounts
01:08:19Here you go
01:08:23Eleanor
01:08:24Hmm?
01:08:25Can you make a smaller version of that so I give everybody a sample?
01:08:28Yeah
01:08:29Great
01:08:30And can you prove this?
01:08:33Yes, definitely
01:08:36Give it all
01:08:37So give it all
01:08:39Your honor
01:08:40Yes
01:08:41I wanted to check and make sure a courier delivered a filing for my friend
01:08:47Great
01:08:48Well, thank you very much
01:08:51Same here
01:08:52Here
01:08:56We ready?
01:08:57Yeah
01:08:58Are you sure this is gonna work?
01:08:59It will
01:09:00And what about Fran?
01:09:01I'll take care of Fran
01:09:02Together we're stronger
01:09:04Together we're stronger
01:09:08This is a great deal for you
01:09:11Yes, you've mentioned that once or twice
01:09:14Excuse us
01:09:19Excuse us
01:09:21Uh, this is a private meeting
01:09:23Edward?
01:09:24Starting road, but you should have all the facts for your company's sake
01:09:27Facts?
01:09:28This man is obviously in the wrong room
01:09:31The formula Ms. Ferris is trying to sell you was stolen
01:09:34Which we can prove quite easily with Ms. Dashwood's documentation
01:09:39How do we know this is legitimate?
01:09:41The proof is all there
01:09:43But in the meantime we filed an injunction against Ms. Ferris to premise this sale
01:09:46Edward, are you sure this is the right time to be done?
01:09:49Yes, definitely
01:09:51We'll need our team to get to the bottom of this
01:09:53That's understandable
01:09:54We wouldn't want you to become victims of Ms. Ferris's actions as well
01:09:57However, we've presented this lotion to another company that has agreed to purchase the formula
01:10:01But from us, it's rightful owners
01:10:04I don't know where these people came from, but there's clearly been some sort of mistake
01:10:11Edward
01:10:14I'm your sister
01:10:16And you should know better
01:10:21You completely swindled me, you know that?
01:10:24But Dylan, it's not my fault
01:10:26Our biggest competitor just applied for a patent on lotion
01:10:30Our company lawyers are breathing down my neck because of an injunction they received about stolen property
01:10:35It's not like that
01:10:37Our lawyers are going to sink their teeth so deep into your skimming hide
01:10:40That not even your little lotions will help heal you
01:10:42In case you haven't heard, the lotion deal was finalized today
01:10:59You know the irony with this is that you were so mean to Eleanor
01:11:03Thinking she was going to steal from you
01:11:06Then you stole from her
01:11:10I guess I have to be careful now
01:11:12I don't want everyone to know that my sister's a thief
01:11:16Edward, I...
01:11:18By the way, Eleanor quits
01:11:19I'm doing this all wrong, aren't I?
01:11:37No, you're... actually you are
01:11:39Yeah, wait, let me show you
01:11:41You have to pick your wrist
01:11:43Um, you're actually still doing it wrong
01:11:46Legally, we're not supposed to be making this up anymore, now that you sold the formula
01:11:51This is a new problem
01:11:53Yeah, Brandon thinks we need to develop more to sell off
01:11:58Margaret says they got the check
01:12:00Mom must be ecstatic
01:12:02You should be too, Margaret's gonna be okay
01:12:05We did it
01:12:07We all did it
01:12:10Hey, will you give me that flower over there?
01:12:11Yeah
01:12:15Oh no, not that one, the other one
01:12:27Really?
01:12:28Don't you?
01:12:30No...
01:12:31Ah
