00:00:00Come on.
00:00:23Come on...
00:00:26What the hell do you think we're doing here?
00:00:29I'll give you the biggest opportunity of your life, and this is how you thank me.
00:00:43You knew the day I gave you this job, what was going to happen between you and me.
00:00:49And now it's time to thank Daddy, because you're nothing but a lousy secretary without me.
00:00:56I'll come here.
00:00:59No!
00:01:05You don't ever say no to me, especially when what you mean is yes.
00:01:27Ah, that wasn't so bad, was it?
00:01:29No!
00:01:30No!
00:01:31No!
00:01:31No!
00:01:31No!
00:01:31No!
00:01:32No!
00:01:33No!
00:01:33No!
00:01:34Hi, honey.
00:01:56Susan, what is all of this?
00:01:58I just thought it would be a nice idea to sit down and have breakfast together.
00:02:02Well, I can. I have an early morning meeting.
00:02:04And besides, you shouldn't be going through all this trouble.
00:02:07Matt, it's just breakfast. I'm not an invalid.
00:02:10Oh, yeah? Sit down.
00:02:15I want you to be extra careful this time.
00:02:18I don't want anything happening to little Matt Jr.,
00:02:21and I especially don't want anything happening to you.
00:02:24So from now on, no more cooking, no more cleaning, no more nothing.
00:02:29I want you to just relax, watch talk shows all day,
00:02:31and take it easy.
00:02:45Good morning, this is Katrina. How am I to direct your call?
00:02:49Let's hurry up. I need that cop on my desk in 15 minutes.
00:02:52Talk to me, Katrina.
00:03:02Mr. Williams and Miss Grace's office waiting for you.
00:03:05I heard some yelling.
00:03:06Sounds about right.
00:03:08I kept calling down and asking where you were.
00:03:11And you told him that you and I spent the night together
00:03:13and that I overslept and I'd be here any minute, right?
00:03:16Right?
00:03:16No, I...
00:03:17Come on, Katrina. I'm only kidding.
00:03:19Listen, you have the list of interviews for my new assistant, Diane, left for me.
00:03:22Yes, the first one's at 9.30.
00:03:249.30, huh?
00:03:26Very good, Katrina.
00:03:27Tell you what, you have a future here, you know that?
00:03:29Now, how do I look?
00:03:31Great.
00:03:31So do you.
00:03:35Ah.
00:03:38Hello, Irene.
00:03:39Matt, you're late.
00:03:40What, are we making our own hours now, too?
00:03:42And a good morning to you, too, Jay.
00:03:44Well, what can I say?
00:03:46Traffic was a bitch.
00:03:47All right.
00:03:48Before we get started, I thought you might want to look at the numbers
00:03:50on the Tastes Like Home account.
00:03:55Wow.
00:03:55Yeah.
00:03:57Hey, Jay, did you get a chance to see these?
00:03:59You're cooked with bacon.
00:04:00So what?
00:04:01Sausage, Jay.
00:04:02Sausage.
00:04:03And, according to these numbers,
00:04:04the fastest-selling breakfast sausage in all of Southern California.
00:04:07Come on, boys.
00:04:09Will you stop it?
00:04:10Look, I want to see the concepts for the photoshoot tomorrow.
00:04:14What shoot?
00:04:15Jay.
00:04:16I gave the material to Diane before she left.
00:04:18When?
00:04:19On Friday.
00:04:20And when did she leave?
00:04:21Thursday.
00:04:22Well, it must have been Thursday, then.
00:04:24She was here.
00:04:25I gave it to her.
00:04:25I put it on her desk.
00:04:27Go and get the client file for Matt.
00:04:30Now.
00:04:30Now.
00:04:40I'm sorry.
00:04:45You're going to have to come up with something really fast, because the shoot is tomorrow.
00:04:49For what?
00:04:50Indigo jeans.
00:04:51That's Jay's campaign.
00:04:52Well, it was, but they haven't accepted any of his concepts.
00:04:55The owner is Armand Christopoulos, and he is a piece of work.
00:04:59I'm really sorry to do this to you, but I'm relying on you.
00:05:02If I lose this account, then Deacon is going to go on a firing spree for sure.
00:05:06Well, nothing like a little pressure, right?
00:05:08Good morning, Matt.
00:05:19Hey, Teddy.
00:05:20Can you give this to Irene, by the way?
00:05:22Thanks, Janet.
00:05:25Kyoko, Jay was supposed to pull me the file on the Indigo campaign?
00:05:29Yeah, you know, Matt, it's my fault the file wasn't on Diane's desk.
00:05:33Jay got it down, but I...
00:05:38Hey, Jerkoff, you ever fuck with my livelihood like that again,
00:05:42I'm going to rip your head off and shove it up your ass.
00:05:45Have a nice day.
00:05:56Irene wants to see you in your office.
00:06:00Did you tell her it was your fault?
00:06:02Yeah, I don't think she believed me.
00:06:04Did you say it the way I told you?
00:06:06Yes, she still didn't believe me.
00:06:08Shit.
00:06:23That was a really stupid thing to do.
00:06:26We can't afford to lose this account.
00:06:28We can't afford to lose any account, especially now.
00:06:33Deacon is really unhappy with your performance.
00:06:35Miss, I don't know how long I can protect your job.
00:06:38Stop worrying about Deacon.
00:06:41I'm getting it done.
00:06:43We're almost there, Irene.
00:06:45Are you ready for the first contestant?
00:06:55Let the games begin.
00:06:57I mostly wear perception, but I have lots of other skills.
00:07:01You know, um, you're much younger than I thought you would be.
00:07:06Then I retired for 10 years, and when the old man died, I thought, what the hell?
00:07:14There's such junk on TV all day.
00:07:16I thought I'd better get out there and get back to work.
00:07:19Well, my probation officer said that I should be in touch with my creative side.
00:07:24Plus, I learned how to type when I was in a joint.
00:07:27So I figured, fuck it, I'll give it a shot.
00:07:30You got an extra cigarette?
00:07:32Katrina, I can't take any more of these.
00:07:35There's just one more left.
00:07:36Come on in.
00:07:47Nicole Lorette, this is Matt Taylor.
00:07:49How do you do?
00:07:50Hello.
00:07:51Nice to meet you.
00:07:52It's nice to meet you, too.
00:07:53Please, have a seat.
00:08:01This is a pretty impressive background.
00:08:02Degree from Columbia University.
00:08:04And I see you have experience as an executive assistant in several firms.
00:08:08The last one being, uh, the CB Agency in Atlanta?
00:08:12Oh, they're a really small firm.
00:08:13You've probably never heard of them.
00:08:15Well, it says here that you worked for them for four years,
00:08:17but yet you don't have any references.
00:08:18Why is that?
00:08:19I was fired.
00:08:21Oh.
00:08:23That's, uh, pretty candid of you.
00:08:25May I ask why?
00:08:27Politics.
00:08:28Typical male boss, female assistant scenario.
00:08:30I was never credited for the work I did.
00:08:32Is that it?
00:08:41Well, there was.
00:08:46He, uh...
00:08:48You were sexually harassed?
00:08:50Did you press charges?
00:08:57No.
00:09:02I'm sorry.
00:09:03I wasted your time.
00:09:04No, no, no.
00:09:04Please, Nicole, stay.
00:09:07That must have been a terrible thing to go through.
00:09:09Believe me, I didn't mean to bring up any bad memories.
00:09:12Look, why don't you show me some examples of your work, okay?
00:09:23Ha, ha, ha.
00:09:24This is very good.
00:09:31Did you do these?
00:09:33My boss and I.
00:09:35Well, Nicole, you are without a doubt the best candidate I've seen for the job so far.
00:09:39So if, uh, you're ready to take on the responsibilities here, I'm ready to have you.
00:09:44Can you start today?
00:09:48Yes.
00:09:50Kyoko.
00:09:50Sure.
00:09:51He'll suit you on.
00:09:52Did you fax some documents for me?
00:09:53Yes.
00:09:54You shred the hard copies?
00:09:55Mm-hmm, yes.
00:09:55Katrina, Nicole is my new assistant.
00:09:58Have her fill out the necessary paperwork, and then show her around the desk, and maybe
00:10:02lead her a little bit through Diane's final assistant.
00:10:05See you later.
00:10:06Okay, congratulations.
00:10:09Who is she?
00:10:14I don't know.
00:10:16Find out.
00:10:25By the way, I've decided we're taking some work with us tonight.
00:10:40Be at my place at 9 o'clock.
00:10:42Mr. Williams, I really don't think that's a good idea.
00:10:47I thought you wanted to be a real ad executive someday.
00:10:50Yeah.
00:10:50Yes, I do.
00:10:52So?
00:10:54Be there.
00:10:55Be there.
00:11:25Matt Taylor's office.
00:11:30May I speak to Matt, please?
00:11:32Matt's busy.
00:11:33Can I take a message?
00:11:35Who is this?
00:11:36This is Nicole, Mr. Taylor's assistant.
00:11:39Well, Nicole, this is Mrs. Taylor, and I would like to speak to my husband, please.
00:11:43Mrs. Taylor, I'm sorry.
00:11:46I just started, and he didn't mention that he was married.
00:11:49Hold on one moment.
00:11:50Your wife is on the phone.
00:12:01Oh, shit, I forgot to call her.
00:12:05Look, Nicole, I'm going to be here for a while.
00:12:07It's been a long first day for you.
00:12:10So why don't you go home and get some rest, huh?
00:12:11Sorry.
00:12:12Mary, you're stuck with me.
00:12:13I'm never leaving you.
00:12:16As long as you're here, I'm here.
00:12:20And since we're both here, maybe we should think about getting some food.
00:12:23I already took care of it.
00:12:24It just arrived.
00:12:25I'll go get it.
00:12:30Hi, honey.
00:12:31Why doesn't she know that you're married?
00:12:33What are you talking about?
00:12:34Well, she sounded surprised when she heard I was on the phone.
00:12:37Look, Susan, I don't have time for this.
00:12:39I just hired the girl.
00:12:41Well, at least you could have mentioned it.
00:12:42Susan, you just dumped a giant campaign onto my lap.
00:12:45I'm going nuts over here.
00:12:46I've got to come over to concept for a photo shoot tomorrow morning.
00:12:49Oh, honey.
00:12:51I'm sorry.
00:12:56I...
00:12:56It's just, you know, you hadn't called,
00:12:58and I was waiting for you to have dinner.
00:13:01All right, look, you go ahead and even help me.
00:13:03I told you, I'm going to be here for a while.
00:13:06In fact, Nicole is preparing a nice plate of Chinese food for me while we speak.
00:13:12Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.
00:13:15Okay.
00:13:16I've got Nico Santos on hold on the other line.
00:13:18Honey, I've got the photographer on the other line.
00:13:20I've got to...
00:13:20I'll talk to you when I get home.
00:13:23Okay.
00:13:28Hey, Nico.
00:13:29We all set for the photo shoot tomorrow?
00:13:31This is really good stuff.
00:13:36Oh, come on.
00:14:01Relax.
00:14:06Let me, uh,
00:14:07show you the pool.
00:14:09You know,
00:14:33Kioka, there's a lot going on with the company right now that not too many people know about.
00:14:39There's going to be some big changes, and I'm going to be moving up in a major way.
00:14:43I'd like to tell you more about it, but
00:14:45I need to make sure that you're on my team.
00:14:49A girl can go far being on my team.
00:14:53I really need this job, Mr. Williams.
00:14:56I know you do.
00:14:59So, are you on my team?
00:15:05Take your clothes off.
00:15:06Take your clothes off.
00:15:24But I'll take your clothes off.
00:16:24Please let it work this time.
00:16:29Please let it work.
00:16:30Please let it work.
00:17:00Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.
00:17:02It's late.
00:17:04Oh, I know.
00:17:06I'm exhausted.
00:17:08I've had a lot of work to do today.
00:17:10Tomorrow I gotta get up real early.
00:17:12What's the campaign?
00:17:14It's indigo jeans.
00:17:18Let me get this one, baby.
00:17:20We're on our way.
00:17:22Master plan will be falling right into place.
00:17:26I'm trying to do my part.
00:17:28I know.
00:17:30I know.
00:17:32Good luck tomorrow.
00:17:34Thanks.
00:17:36Good night, sweetheart. I love you.
00:17:38I love you.
00:17:40So, who's the new assistant?
00:17:44Nicole Lorette.
00:17:46She's got good stats.
00:17:48She's straight, dependable.
00:17:50Just the way you like her.
00:17:52I hope she works out.
00:17:54Come on, ladies.
00:17:56Give me something to work with here.
00:17:58More.
00:17:59Give me what you got.
00:18:00Give me what you got.
00:18:01Come on.
00:18:02Bring it up.
00:18:03Bring it up.
00:18:04Work for me.
00:18:05Work the camera.
00:18:06Work it.
00:18:07Come on, ladies.
00:18:08I'm not doing anything different from when Jay showed me last time.
00:18:10And frankly, I was bored.
00:18:12I hated it.
00:18:13No, no, no.
00:18:14This is not happening.
00:18:17Get changed.
00:18:20Listen, we have to take Mr. Happy out for an espresso.
00:18:22I want you to keep things moving along.
00:18:24Make sure Nico shoots only the concepts I've laid out,
00:18:26and don't take any shit from him.
00:18:28This is very important.
00:18:29Don't worry.
00:18:30Don't worry. Look, just keep the little egomaniac under control.
00:18:33I don't want him to do anything other than what I've designed.
00:18:35This is very important. I'm counting on you.
00:18:37You can always count on me.
00:18:40Okay.
00:18:41Here we go.
00:18:42Come on, ladies.
00:18:43Smile.
00:18:44Give me some smiles.
00:18:49This sucks!
00:18:53Stop.
00:18:55What?
00:18:56I said stop.
00:18:58Excuse me, baby.
00:18:59I'm busy.
00:19:00Do you mind?
00:19:01I'm not your baby.
00:19:02And yes, I do mind.
00:19:04Who the hell are you?
00:19:05I'm your boss right now, and I'm changing the setup.
00:19:14What's your name?
00:19:15Bianca.
00:19:17Bianca.
00:19:18You stay.
00:19:19The rest of you are wrapped.
00:19:20Oh, wait a second.
00:19:21Matt didn't tell me to wrap anyone.
00:19:23I just did.
00:19:24Go.
00:19:25Go!
00:19:26Go!
00:19:27Go!
00:19:33Okay, big shot.
00:19:34What next?
00:19:35It was going great.
00:19:36What am I doing?
00:19:37What the hell are you doing, Nico?
00:19:38What happened to the rest of the models?
00:19:39What the hell happened to my setup?
00:19:40Who the hell do you think you are, Nico?
00:19:41Hey, it wasn't my idea, right?
00:19:42But you know what?
00:19:43I wish it was.
00:19:44Because it's good.
00:19:45It's really good.
00:19:46Why don't you talk to your girlfriend here?
00:19:48Nicole, what did you do?
00:19:49I left you in charge with explicit instructions.
00:19:51We got everything that you wanted.
00:19:52We were finished, so I thought...
00:19:53You thought?
00:19:54Yes.
00:19:55I thought that it wouldn't hurt to keep on shooting until you came back.
00:19:56I thought that we would try something different.
00:19:57Push the envelope a little.
00:19:58Nicole, it's not your job to make decisions.
00:19:59You're my assistant.
00:20:00You do what I tell you to do.
00:20:01You do what I tell you to do.
00:20:02You do what I tell you to do.
00:20:03You do what I tell you to do.
00:20:04If you listen to my setup, you're my setup.
00:20:05Who the hell do you think you are, Nico?
00:20:06Who the hell do you think you are, Nico?
00:20:07Hey, it wasn't my idea, right?
00:20:08But you know what?
00:20:09I wish it was.
00:20:10Because it's good.
00:20:11It's really good.
00:20:12Why don't you talk to your girlfriend here?
00:20:13I thought that we would try something different.
00:20:15Push the envelope a little.
00:20:16Nicole, it's not your job to make decisions.
00:20:18You're my assistant.
00:20:19You do what I tell you to do.
00:20:20If you listen to me, you'll learn something.
00:20:22But don't ever pull anything like this again.
00:20:25Nico, that's it.
00:20:26We're done.
00:20:27The shoot's over.
00:20:28Put some clothes on.
00:20:32You're wrong, Matt.
00:20:33She was just trying to make things happen.
00:20:35Where do you see these shots?
00:20:37I'll just have the proofs in my office by tomorrow morning.
00:20:40Nicole, I know you were trying to help, but you just...
00:20:46Never mind.
00:20:47I'll see you in the office tomorrow.
00:20:49I want to see those proofs first thing when I come in.
00:20:56To hell with him.
00:20:57He did good.
00:21:06Hey, Matt.
00:21:07Hey, Teddy, how you doing?
00:21:08How'd these go at the shoot?
00:21:09I don't know you.
00:21:10Ah, well, good luck on the campaign, all right?
00:21:11Thanks.
00:21:15Katrina, where's Nicole?
00:21:18She's...
00:21:19She's up in Irene's office.
00:21:21What's she doing up there?
00:21:23I don't know.
00:21:24Maybe you should go look for yourself.
00:21:28Put this in my office, all right?
00:21:39I am so happy.
00:21:40Oh, this is great.
00:21:41Good morning.
00:21:42Matt, you're late again.
00:21:43But I will forgive you because these are fantastic.
00:21:44It's exactly what I was talking about.
00:21:45Take a look.
00:21:46Go on, go on, look.
00:21:47Aren't they great?
00:21:48I want some concepts for the ad campaign immediately.
00:21:49What about the group shop?
00:21:50No, just her.
00:21:51She is indigo jeans.
00:21:52Hello, everybody.
00:21:53Hi, Charles.
00:21:54Hello, Mr. Deacon.
00:21:55Hello, Taylor.
00:21:56I've been hearing nice things about you lately.
00:21:57And who is this lovely lady?
00:21:59This is Nicole Lorette, my assistant.
00:22:00Nicole, this is Nicole Lorette, my assistant.
00:22:01Nicole, this is Mr. Deacon, chairman of the board.
00:22:02Oh.
00:22:03Very nice to meet you, Mr. Deacon.
00:22:04It's nice to meet you.
00:22:05All right, where were we?
00:22:06What do we have here?
00:22:07These are the proofs from the indigo shoot that Matt oversaw yesterday.
00:22:08The way Jay failed so quickly.
00:22:09I'm going to go to the ad campaign immediately.
00:22:10I'm going to go to the ad campaign immediately.
00:22:11What about the group shop?
00:22:12No, just her.
00:22:13She is indigo jeans.
00:22:14Hello, everybody.
00:22:15Hi, Charles.
00:22:16Hello, Mr. Deacon.
00:22:17Hello, Mr. Deacon.
00:22:18Hello, Taylor.
00:22:19Hello, Taylor.
00:22:20I've been hearing nice things about you lately.
00:22:21Good to meet you.
00:22:22All right, where were we?
00:22:23What do we have here?
00:22:24These are the proofs from the indigo shoot that Matt oversaw yesterday.
00:22:27The way Jay failed so miserably, I hope you've got something here.
00:22:32We're a little risky here, aren't we?
00:22:36This is our last chance to land this account.
00:22:39Come on, Charles.
00:22:40Look at them.
00:22:41They're great.
00:22:42All right.
00:22:43Maybe it's time to be a little daring and shake our mind up a bit.
00:22:46That's nice work, Taylor.
00:22:48All right, I think we're going to go with this.
00:22:50Mr. Jane wants you to take all these clients' files and put them together on a basket.
00:23:00What the hell are you doing showing Irene those proofs before I check them?
00:23:03She saw when they were delivered and she asked me to bring them up.
00:23:06You should have said that I would bring them up after I took a look at them.
00:23:09I did, but she wouldn't take no for an answer.
00:23:11What was I supposed to do?
00:23:12You're supposed to do what I tell you to do, huh?
00:23:14I told you I wanted to see them before anybody else.
00:23:16You don't work for Irene.
00:23:17You work for me.
00:23:18It's all perfectly clear, Mr. Taylor.
00:23:19I'm sorry you didn't get to see the prints first.
00:23:21It's my fault.
00:23:22But it seems to me that you're a little bit more upset about the fact that they liked my
00:23:25layout.
00:23:31When you hired me, you said that you were fair.
00:23:33That you'd give credit where credit was due.
00:23:35Well, I don't even want any credit on this, all right?
00:23:38Because all I did was something that you would have done.
00:23:40You didn't see it because you were rushed.
00:23:43You were under a lot of pressure.
00:23:44You had to smooth over the client.
00:23:45All I did was follow your lead.
00:23:47And we stumbled onto something good.
00:23:49And I think that you should take the ball and run with it instead of being upset that
00:23:52your assistant, a woman, came up with a better idea.
00:24:04Matt, I want to learn from you, assist you, and grow in this company with you.
00:24:17I'm sorry.
00:24:18I'm sorry about the way this happened.
00:24:24We just met, and the last thing I want to do is ruin my relationship with you.
00:24:32I apologize.
00:24:34And I promise I'll be a good girl and just do what I'm told from now on.
00:24:46This feels European.
00:24:47No.
00:24:48You know, I think a very basic American look to the typeset would offset these photos in
00:25:01a real kinetic way.
00:25:03You're right.
00:25:06I didn't think about that.
00:25:11My photo, your copy, we make a good team, don't we?
00:25:16It's good to see you.
00:25:17It's good to see you, Eddie.
00:25:18Armand, I think we have something for you this time.
00:25:19I hope so, Charles.
00:25:20I hope so.
00:25:21Here we go.
00:25:22Wish me luck.
00:25:23You don't need it, Matt.
00:25:24The work is solid.
00:25:25Ah, here he is, Taylor.
00:25:26Ah, yes, Mr. Ted.
00:25:27I hope so.
00:25:28You don't need it, Matt.
00:25:29The work is solid.
00:25:30Ah, here he is, Taylor.
00:25:31Ah, yes, Mr. Ted.
00:25:32I hope so.
00:25:33I hope so.
00:25:34You don't need it, Matt.
00:25:35You don't need it, Matt.
00:25:36The work is solid.
00:25:40Ah, here he is, Taylor.
00:25:42Ah, yes, Mr. Ted.
00:25:43We haven't really met.
00:25:44I'm Nicole.
00:25:45Hi, I'm Kyoko.
00:25:46Hello.
00:25:47We haven't really met.
00:25:48I'm Nicole.
00:25:49Hi, I'm Kyoko.
00:25:50Hello.
00:25:51We haven't met either, Nicole.
00:25:52Hi, I'm Kyoko.
00:25:53Hello.
00:25:54We haven't met either, Nicole.
00:26:09Hi, I'm Jay Williams.
00:26:13I'm glad to have you as part of the show.
00:26:16I'm glad to have you as part of my team.
00:26:19You mean Matt's team?
00:26:20Well, we're all one big happy family here, Nicole.
00:26:24Hmm?
00:26:29Nice to meet you.
00:26:42Get me her employee file.
00:26:43But that's in Matt's office.
00:26:45You can't go in there.
00:26:46Just do it.
00:26:47Here it is.
00:26:48This isn't what I asked for.
00:26:49Yes, it is.
00:26:50It's a list of every client that we have.
00:26:51These are business numbers.
00:26:52I asked for personal home phone numbers.
00:26:54Well, I can't get you that.
00:26:55Only Irene has that information.
00:26:56Katrina, do you want to be a receptionist all your life?
00:26:57No.
00:26:58Then get me what I want.
00:26:59Oh, my God.
00:27:00Oh, my God.
00:27:01Oh, my God.
00:27:04I asked for personal home phone numbers.
00:27:08Well, I can't get you that.
00:27:09Only Irene has that information.
00:27:14Katrina, do you want to be a receptionist all your life?
00:27:19No.
00:27:21Then get me what I want.
00:27:24Oh, my God.
00:27:33Matt Taylor's office.
00:27:58Nicole, I need to speak to Matt right now.
00:28:01Matt's in a meeting right now.
00:28:02Well, you get him out of that meeting.
00:28:05I need to shut this goddamn smoke detector off.
00:28:08Ah, shit.
00:28:10Can you get to the smoke detector?
00:28:13I'm right here right now.
00:28:14I just need to shut it off.
00:28:16If I don't fall off this stupid stepladder.
00:28:18Just calm down.
00:28:21Now, very carefully reach up.
00:28:24There's usually a little switch right on the side of it.
00:28:27My gut.
00:28:28Are you okay?
00:28:32Yeah.
00:28:33Yeah, I'm okay.
00:28:34Thank you, Nicole.
00:28:35I can have Matt call you as soon as he gets out of this meeting.
00:28:39No, no, no, no, no.
00:28:40He worries about me enough as it is.
00:28:42I don't want him to think I'm completely helpless.
00:28:44I'm just going to clean this mess up and make believe it never happened.
00:28:49So, don't tell him, okay?
00:28:51It'll be our little secret.
00:28:53You know, Nicole, I think we got off on the wrong foot the first time we spoke.
00:28:58I think it's important that you and I get to know each other, become friends.
00:29:03After all, you are the other woman in my husband's life.
00:29:06Well, I don't know about that.
00:29:10But thank you, Susan.
00:29:12I'd like to get to know you, too.
00:29:20Well?
00:29:20You better shut the door.
00:29:27Well?
00:29:28Well, we got it.
00:29:31We got the campaign.
00:29:32We're going national with magazines, billboards, commercials.
00:29:36And get this.
00:29:37We start the commercial campaign immediately.
00:29:39Oh, Matt.
00:29:42Oh, Matt.
00:29:43Congratulations.
00:29:45You deserve it.
00:29:46Hey, hey, you deserve it.
00:29:50Don't think for a minute I don't realize that this wouldn't have happened without you.
00:29:55That might be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.
00:29:59Yeah, look, you get me Bianca's agent on the phone.
00:30:01I want Bianca in this office immediately.
00:30:04And you know why?
00:30:06Because we are on our way, Nicole.
00:30:08We are on our way!
00:30:12So it's a simple layout, that love story, the dog talks.
00:30:14I think it's kind of cute.
00:30:16I, uh, I think this is a very poor effort, Jay.
00:30:19How many times are we going to see a dog talking to him in his flea cup?
00:30:22Now, wait a minute.
00:30:23It's not that the dog's talking.
00:30:24It's what he's saying.
00:30:25Fix it, Jay.
00:30:26Fix it.
00:30:28Charles.
00:30:32I told you he wanted your head on the bladder.
00:30:34Fuck him.
00:30:36You know, Matt's the golden boy around here now, and Deacon basically thinks that you've lost him.
00:30:39Pretty soon it won't matter what Deacon thinks.
00:30:41Well, then get it done!
00:30:42Get it done!
00:30:46What are you looking at?
00:30:48Hi, I'm Bianca.
00:31:04I'm here to see my voice.
00:31:07Yoko?
00:31:11Find out who handles that model.
00:31:14I've got it, Trina.
00:31:16Bianca.
00:31:18I'll see you.
00:31:19You too.
00:31:20Right this way.
00:31:30So the long and the short of it is, you are Indigo.
00:31:33This is going to be the biggest campaign we've ever launched.
00:31:35Congratulations.
00:31:36I don't know how to thank you, Mr. Taylor.
00:31:38Please, call me Matt.
00:31:39And you don't need to thank me.
00:31:41All you have to do is stay as gorgeous and as photogenic as you are,
00:31:44and everything is going to be just fine.
00:31:46Uh, I'd like to talk to you about any more ideas you might have for the campaign.
00:31:50Sure.
00:31:51Call me at home anytime?
00:31:56Anytime at home.
00:31:57All right.
00:31:58Uh, I'll see you later.
00:32:05You got it.
00:32:11Thank you, Nicole.
00:32:18She's very excited.
00:32:19She should be.
00:32:23Well, it's been a long day, but a great one.
00:32:28And I say it's time to go out and celebrate.
00:32:38Here you go, ma'am.
00:32:43Great.
00:32:43Is everything else okay?
00:32:44Very, very good.
00:32:45Great.
00:32:46A second bottle?
00:32:48Why not?
00:32:49We deserve it.
00:32:50To you, Nicole.
00:32:51My assistant and my partner.
00:32:56Well, thank you, but I'm a long way from being your partner.
00:33:00I don't know about that.
00:33:02You're much too talented for me to keep as an assistant for very long.
00:33:05I've got to take advantage of you while I can.
00:33:09I've got something for you.
00:33:10It's just a little way of saying thank you.
00:33:23I figure since we're, uh, both climbing the corporate ladder together.
00:33:28Partners.
00:33:29I don't know what to say.
00:33:31It's just a little paperweight for the office.
00:33:33I have another surprise.
00:33:37Irene gave me a bonus today.
00:33:39$20,000.
00:33:42And I want to give you half.
00:33:45Matt, that is too generous.
00:33:47I couldn't possibly...
00:33:47Of course you could.
00:33:48Because I want to give it to you.
00:33:50And besides, I've already written the check.
00:33:54I've got it right here.
00:33:56What the hell did I do with it?
00:33:59Oh, shit.
00:34:00I left it back at the office.
00:34:04All right, come on.
00:34:05Let's go back and get it.
00:34:06Oh, no, Matt.
00:34:06We don't have to.
00:34:07Of course we do.
00:34:08That's a lot of money.
00:34:09I don't want to leave a check like that lying around.
00:34:11I want to give it to you tonight.
00:34:17Ta-da!
00:34:20All for you, partner.
00:34:30Thanks.
00:35:00No, no, I can't.
00:35:14You're not like the others, are you?
00:35:17You're different.
00:35:30Wait, wait, Nicole.
00:35:45Wait, Nicole, we can't.
00:35:51I can't wait.
00:35:54As soon as Indigo is over, I'm all yours.
00:36:00I don't think you understand, Bianca.
00:36:03You're done with Indigo.
00:36:14Morning, honey. Got a rush. I'm running late.
00:36:16What time did you get home last night?
00:36:18I waited for you as long as I could.
00:36:21I'm sorry, but we were out celebrating last night.
00:36:26I got the Indigo campaign.
00:36:28Oh, you did?
00:36:31Oh, baby, I'm so proud of you.
00:36:34This is wonderful.
00:36:36Yeah, this is going to mean a lot of money for us.
00:36:39And I got a $10,000 bonus,
00:36:42and I start on the commercial campaign right away.
00:36:45I'm so proud of you.
00:36:47Oh, baby, why didn't you call me?
00:36:48I would have loved to celebrate it with you.
00:36:50I know, but things have been so crazy at the office lately, honey.
00:36:55And then, well, you know, I've been breaking my ass,
00:36:57working hard, trying to make things happen for us.
00:37:00I was going to call you,
00:37:01but then it got so busy,
00:37:04and, you know, I guess I got overwhelmed by the news,
00:37:07so we all went out for a drink to celebrate.
00:37:11Who went?
00:37:13Everybody.
00:37:13Who's Bianca?
00:37:28She's the model for the campaign.
00:37:30Why?
00:37:31What's her number doing in your pocket?
00:37:33What?
00:37:33Oh, she came into the office,
00:37:37and she was so excited about getting the campaign
00:37:40that she put that in my pocket while she was thanking me,
00:37:43in case I needed to get a hold of her for anything.
00:37:45Isn't that what our agent's for?
00:37:47Oh, come on, Susan.
00:37:49It's written in lipstick, Matt.
00:37:50Because that's what she used to write it with.
00:37:52What do you want from me?
00:37:53What are you being so defensive for?
00:37:55I'm not being defensive.
00:37:56Did you go out celebrating with her?
00:38:00No.
00:38:01She wasn't out celebrating with me.
00:38:03So?
00:38:11You're not having an affair with Bianca?
00:38:16No.
00:38:17I'm not having an affair with Bianca.
00:38:23Lucky for you,
00:38:25I trust you.
00:38:33Hi.
00:38:43Good morning.
00:38:43Good morning.
00:38:47Are you all right?
00:38:58I'm fine.
00:39:02Look, about last night...
00:39:04Hmm.
00:39:09What about it?
00:39:12Well,
00:39:13it's just that I've never, um...
00:39:16We have a lot of work to do,
00:39:20and we're going to have to be working very closely.
00:39:24So I think it's best that we, um...
00:39:27What I mean is we can't...
00:39:28Shh.
00:39:31Don't worry about a thing.
00:39:34Business, as usual.
00:39:35And by the way,
00:39:45it was wonderful.
00:39:49You were wonderful.
00:39:50Wonderful.
00:39:50Matt Taylor's office.
00:40:10Uh, may I speak to Mr. Taylor, please?
00:40:13Tell him it's Bianca.
00:40:15Bianca, it's Nicole.
00:40:16Matt's busy.
00:40:17How can I help you?
00:40:18I've got...
00:40:20I've got bad news.
00:40:22I'm gonna have to drop Indigo.
00:40:25Excuse me?
00:40:29Say that again.
00:40:31I'm sorry, Nicole, but I have to.
00:40:34You're not dropping anything.
00:40:36Who put you up to this?
00:40:38My agent.
00:40:40They objected to the nudity.
00:40:43I just spoke to your agent,
00:40:45and she is, in fact,
00:40:47overjoyed with the response she's getting on you.
00:40:50She is overjoyed with the national commercials
00:40:52we're gonna begin shooting this week.
00:40:53She is overjoyed with the shitload of money
00:40:55you both are gonna make on this campaign.
00:40:58I don't think she would object
00:40:59if we stapled the Indigo logo
00:41:01to your pretty little ass.
00:41:03I don't know what this is all about, Bianca,
00:41:05but so help me.
00:41:07If you are not on that set,
00:41:09bright and early,
00:41:10and ready to shoot our commercial,
00:41:12I will not only raise hell with your agent,
00:41:15sue you for breach of contract,
00:41:16and badmouth you to the rest of the industry,
00:41:18I will personally rip your heart right out of your chest.
00:41:20You do not want to fuck with me.
00:41:21Do you understand?
00:41:23Do you understand?
00:41:25Yes.
00:41:28Good.
00:41:30Then I will see you on the set.
00:41:36Good morning, gentlemen.
00:41:37Thanks so much for coming.
00:41:38My office is upstairs right this way.
00:41:42Where are you going?
00:41:43There's a page missing from the proposal.
00:41:45Well, get it copied
00:41:46and get it upstairs right away.
00:41:48Okay.
00:42:10Kyoko!
00:42:11Are you all right?
00:42:14I just can't take it anymore.
00:42:16You don't know how he treats me.
00:42:20I have a feeling I do.
00:42:22So, who are the suits?
00:42:24Jake hoarding some new clients?
00:42:26No, they have something to do with the agency.
00:42:29Stockholders, I think.
00:42:31He's got me doing so many things that have nothing to do with advertising.
00:42:34I just got confused.
00:42:37He's always yelling at me.
00:42:39Then he makes me...
00:42:40Makes you what?
00:42:43No man has the right to treat you like that.
00:42:47No man.
00:42:49I shouldn't be telling you this.
00:42:51No, no, it's alright. Really.
00:42:54Sometimes you need a friend.
00:42:57Sometimes you need someone that...
00:43:00Well, you can just tell them everything.
00:43:13That's a good time.
00:43:22You know that...
00:43:24Wait.
00:43:31Look at everybody.
00:43:32Hi. Hi. I dreamed about you last night. Really? Have you thought about me? Yeah. Every time
00:43:53I look at my wife. This can work, Matt. You can have the best of both worlds. I'm not asking
00:44:01for much. Can't you find room in your heart for both of us?
00:44:05Nicole. Hey, Nico! How's it going? Bring me down!
00:44:20How's it going? We got a major fucking problem. That's how it's going.
00:44:27You. Take a walk. Go on. Show them. Oh, Jesus. How am I supposed to shoot that? Huh? How
00:44:38the hell am I supposed to shoot that? Bianca, what happened? I accidentally banged it when
00:44:44I was opening a door. Oh, shit. We're screwed. Irene's going to be here with Amon and Deacon
00:44:50any minute. Did you try makeup? I tried that before you got here. She looks like shit.
00:44:55There's no way I'm shooting her looking like that. Look, we've got to figure out a way to
00:44:58shoot around us, all right? You and I will take a look at the storyboards. Nicole, you
00:45:01stay here with Bianca. When makeup gets back here, see what you can do with that eye. Oh.
00:45:07Models. I hate this shitty business. Hey, you! Go get the fucking walk, please!
00:45:23How did you really get that eye? I told you. Don't you lie to me. First you called trying
00:45:30to get out of the chute, now this. I want to know what the hell is going on. I can't.
00:45:40I can't tell you. I am so afraid. Afraid of what? Bianca, you have exactly one second to
00:45:48tell me what this is about. It was Jay. It was Jay. He told me that if I drop this
00:45:57campaign, he'd sign me to an even bigger contract with Divina Cosmetics. I didn't know
00:46:05what I want to do. And then he just... All right. I'll tell you what we're gonna do. You're
00:46:24not gonna tell anyone else what happened. And you are going to continue the campaign as planned.
00:46:30What about Jay? What if he... You let me worry about Jay. Matt, I can't shoot her like that.
00:46:39You want to give me a break here, please? Stop looking over my shoulder. I figured out a way
00:46:45to work around that eye.
00:47:00Liquid silver, let's turn tangerine
00:47:06Lights go flickering out in a trail
00:47:12While you're there, breathe in
00:47:19Flying high, all fruits are bought to fly
00:47:26Magic rings can always kiss the sky
00:47:33Have no fear, breathe in
00:47:40It's all about face, time and space
00:47:51It's all about, it's all about
00:47:56I love it
00:47:59Yes, oh that's great
00:48:02So that means we're on for the location shoot
00:48:05We're on
00:48:05All right
00:48:06Wonderful work, Taylor
00:48:07Let's talk about the details
00:48:08Nicole, would you excuse us please
00:48:11How exactly, I'm going to
00:48:13Well first of all, we have to talk about the room
00:48:16If we do the outside like the location
00:48:18Yes, where was this show?
00:48:21This was just actually around the area
00:48:23I know, but we have to ask you much more
00:48:25I'm so angry
00:48:26Good work, Nico
00:48:27How long did you start it?
00:48:29I know
00:48:29Susan, I've got some great news
00:48:36What is this?
00:48:41I thought I told you I didn't want you to go to any trouble
00:48:44I didn't
00:48:46I did
00:48:50Isn't it beautiful, honey?
00:48:54Nicole did everything
00:48:55Are you surprised?
00:49:00Mmm, this is delicious, Nicole
00:49:03Thank you
00:49:05Isn't it good, honey?
00:49:07Yeah, it's great
00:49:09So, Susan
00:49:11How did you and Matt meet?
00:49:13It isn't such an original story
00:49:15We met at work
00:49:16I was Matt's assistant
00:49:18Really?
00:49:21Yep
00:49:22We fell in love
00:49:23Got married
00:49:24And then we started on what Matt calls
00:49:26A master plan
00:49:28What's that?
00:49:31Well, Matt's part is
00:49:33Moving up at work
00:49:34A better house
00:49:35Some money in the bank
00:49:37And my part is
00:49:39Well, I'm pregnant
00:49:41Congratulations
00:49:48Matt, you didn't tell me
00:49:52Mmm
00:49:53Well, we're keeping it kind of private
00:49:55It's our second try
00:49:56We have some problems with the first
00:49:59Oh
00:50:00Oh, I'm so sorry
00:50:03Nothing's gonna go wrong this time
00:50:05Right, honey?
00:50:07All right
00:50:08Thank you so much, Nicole
00:50:21It was wonderful
00:50:22Oh, no, thank you for welcoming me into your beautiful home
00:50:26Honey, why don't you walk her out?
00:50:32Good night
00:50:32Bye-bye
00:50:33So, Daddy
00:50:40Did you have a nice time?
00:50:42What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:44Why didn't you tell me she was pregnant?
00:50:46Because it's none of your damn business
00:50:47She's a very lucky girl
00:50:50Most women would kill to have what she has
00:50:53Successful
00:50:55Loving husband
00:50:56Nice house in the suburbs
00:50:58Baby on the way
00:51:00Come on
00:51:01A mistress is a perfect addition to the master plan
00:51:05She's your wife and partner at home
00:51:08And
00:51:09I'm your lover and partner at work
00:51:12All right, that's enough
00:51:14That's enough
00:51:15You can pretend
00:51:18But I know you want me as much as I want you
00:51:22You can't hide it
00:51:24I see the way you look at me
00:51:26Nicole
00:51:30It's late
00:51:31Get in the car and go on home
00:51:33We have a lot of work to do on this location shoot
00:51:38And I don't want any distractions
00:51:40And when it's over
00:51:42You and I are going to have a nice long talk, okay?
00:51:46Whatever you say, boss
00:51:47Whatever you say
00:51:54What was this all about?
00:52:03I thought it would be a good way for Nicole and I to get to know each other
00:52:06Yeah, but do you have to tell people our whole life story?
00:52:10She's just enough people
00:52:11She's your sister
00:52:13Like Diane
00:52:14No
00:52:15Nicole is not like Diane
00:52:17Okay
00:52:19I'll keep my mouth shut for now
00:52:21Look, I'm tired
00:52:25Let's go to sleep, all right?
00:52:27Honey, I wanted to make love to you tonight
00:52:29What?
00:52:30Oh, come on, Susan
00:52:32What, are you crazy?
00:52:34It's okay, honey
00:52:35The doctor said it's okay
00:52:37You know, we could make love for months
00:52:38Well, I don't care what the doctor said
00:52:40I'm not taking a chance of getting you hurt
00:52:42This is ridiculous
00:52:45So I'm ridiculous
00:52:46Is Bianca going away on the shoot with you?
00:52:49You know, Bianca's going away on the shoot with me
00:52:54What is that supposed to mean?
00:52:56You haven't touched me in weeks
00:52:58I know how you are, Matt
00:52:59You need a woman
00:53:00You don't want to make love to me
00:53:02How the hell do you think that makes me feel?
00:53:06Sometimes I just think I'm a baby machine to you
00:53:08That is an ugly thing to say
00:53:17So I'm going to pretend like you never said it, all right?
00:53:21Now, I'm going to bed
00:53:23And I'm leaving early in the morning
00:53:25And I'll see you in a couple of days
00:53:28Well, if it isn't Wonder Woman
00:53:38You saved Taylor's untalented ass again
00:53:44I know
00:53:46My talk with Nico Santos
00:53:47First the print shoot
00:53:49Then the commercial
00:53:49Nice work
00:53:50I don't know what Taylor would do without you
00:53:53I know about Bianca
00:53:56That's assault
00:53:58You keep your dirty little hands off her
00:54:01She's mine, not yours
00:54:03Yours?
00:54:05You're just a little assistant
00:54:06Taylor made that perfectly clear to Irene and Deacon at the meeting
00:54:10He's taking all the credit
00:54:11I know what you're trying to do, Jay
00:54:14Your line of bullshit may work on women like Bianca and Kiyoko
00:54:18But it's not going to work on me
00:54:20I let an employer take advantage of me once
00:54:23Once
00:54:24And then I fixed it
00:54:27I'm good at fixing things
00:54:29So I've heard, Miss Loretta
00:54:31Or should I say
00:54:38Miss Landon
00:54:40Miss Nicole Landon
00:54:43Correct
00:54:44You know, for someone with such an eye for detail
00:54:47I'm surprised you're not better at covering up your tracks
00:54:50You didn't know they were running this, did you?
00:54:53Yeah, you should call up CNB in Atlanta
00:54:55And look into getting your share of the bonus money
00:54:58But then again, you know you can't do that, can you?
00:55:02You can't do that because CNB in Atlanta didn't do this ad
00:55:05This ad was created by Colby and Burnham in Chicago
00:55:09Maybe you should call them
00:55:10But we both know that you can't do that either
00:55:13What do you want?
00:55:18You, Nicole
00:55:19I want you
00:55:22You're my kind of girl
00:55:27But first, you're going to help me get rid of Taylor
00:55:31I want to ruin that son of a bitch
00:55:33Now, this little trip you two are going on
00:55:35The boss alone with his assistant at the hotel
00:55:38You know the rest, and I want it messy
00:55:39Once he's gone, you come work for me
00:55:42I've got your number, sweetheart
00:55:44I know everything about you
00:55:46I could ruin you too, but that would be a waste
00:55:48Now, you're a smart girl
00:55:50Yeah
00:55:51You just keep it live
00:55:54You do as you're told
00:55:56And we'll get along just fine
00:55:59I want you to take care of Taylor, Nicole
00:56:13As soon as you get back
00:56:15I want to take care of you
00:56:18Yeah
00:56:21Souvenir
00:56:27I'll tell you
00:56:53Let's turn tangerine
00:56:56Lights go flickers
00:57:00Spin out in the dream
00:57:03While you're there
00:57:07Breathe in
00:57:10Flying high
00:57:14On bricks and butterfly
00:57:17Magic wings
00:57:21Can always miss the sky
00:57:24Have no fear
00:57:28Breathe in
00:57:31Cut!
00:57:38Nicole, let me see the storyboard.
00:57:40Nicole!
00:57:42That was great.
00:57:45That was wonderful.
00:57:47Thanks.
00:57:47You okay?
00:57:48Just a little cold.
00:57:49Oh, here, put this on.
00:57:51There you go.
00:57:54Is that better?
00:57:56Great.
00:57:56Thank you so much.
00:57:58Yeah, you're welcome.
00:57:59I'll see you later.
00:58:00Okay.
00:58:02Come on, move that light.
00:58:03I want to get going again.
00:58:04Let's go right away.
00:58:07It's going good, don't you think?
00:58:10Yeah.
00:58:10Well, we're running a little bit behind, but it's going pretty good.
00:58:16I have something for you.
00:58:22I made it up at the agency.
00:58:24It's going to happen for you, Matt.
00:58:25I just know it.
00:58:28Visualize.
00:58:29And it will happen.
00:58:30Why did you do this?
00:58:34I wanted you to know how much I believed in you.
00:58:40Believed in me?
00:58:42I meant believe in you.
00:58:43I want you to know how much I believe in you.
00:58:45Thanks.
00:58:54Come on, people.
00:58:55It's been enough all day.
00:58:56Where's Bianca?
00:58:57Get her in the pool.
00:58:58Let's get this shot tonight, please, people.
00:59:00Is anyone listening here?
00:59:01I want you to know how much I believe in you.
00:59:31Susan?
00:59:40Susan?
00:59:42Pick up the phone, please.
00:59:45Okay.
00:59:46I guess you've gone to sleep already.
00:59:48I'll be home tomorrow.
00:59:50You ought to see this place they put me up in.
00:59:53It's almost as big as our house.
00:59:55I guess they're really happy with my work.
00:59:57I'm moving up, honey.
00:59:59Wish you were here.
01:00:00I miss you.
01:00:02I love you.
01:00:04Bye.
01:00:04We're at a party?
01:00:22A little drunk, are we?
01:00:24Maybe.
01:00:25Can I come in?
01:00:26I don't think that would be a good idea.
01:00:30I do.
01:00:35Ooh, nice place.
01:00:39Bianca, it's really late.
01:00:41Why don't you like me?
01:00:45You're not like everybody else, just trying to get my pants.
01:00:52Nico, that pig, he's just dying to get me in the sack.
01:00:54And there's Jay.
01:00:58What about Jay?
01:01:01Oh, it doesn't matter.
01:01:05Why don't you like me?
01:01:09Bianca, I like you.
01:01:12It's just that I already have a woman in my life.
01:01:16Nicole?
01:01:16No, it's not Nicole.
01:01:19It's my wife.
01:01:26Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:01:27Wait, wait a minute.
01:01:29It's okay for you to come on to me when I'm with my wife?
01:01:32But it's not okay if I'm having an affair with Nicole?
01:01:36You don't know Nicole.
01:01:39She scares me.
01:01:41Yeah?
01:01:42Whoa, whoa.
01:01:43Hang on, hang on.
01:01:44I'm feeling a little busy.
01:01:50Look, I'm going to take you back to your room, all right?
01:01:53Come on.
01:01:55Here we go.
01:02:06Okay.
01:02:07Now it's time for you to go to bed.
01:02:08That's exactly what I was thinking.
01:02:10This isn't so bad, is it?
01:02:15Yes.
01:02:16Yes, it is.
01:02:17Come on, I just want to kiss you.
01:02:20Just an old kiss, that's all.
01:02:23Why don't I believe you?
01:02:24Matt, I didn't want to do this, but you're forcing me to use drastic measures.
01:02:40Nico called.
01:02:54He said that the dailies from the shoot will be ready on video for you late this afternoon.
01:03:00Are you worried about Susan?
01:03:07Don't, Matt.
01:03:10What's going on between us doesn't mean that you don't love your wife.
01:03:13It just means that you love both of us.
01:03:15She won't find out if that's what you're thinking.
01:03:20I mean, as long as we're partners, our secret is safe.
01:03:26We're still partners, right?
01:03:29I hope so.
01:03:30Because I sure do love working with you.
01:03:33In every way.
01:03:34No, no, no, no.
01:03:46John, look, you can't tell anything looking like that.
01:03:48Garrett, take him out for a test drive.
01:03:50Take him around the block.
01:03:51And look, if you buy two, I'm going to give you a nice senior citizen's discount, okay?
01:03:54Go ahead.
01:03:55Enjoy yourselves.
01:03:57Somebody sell something.
01:03:58What, are you ripping off senior citizens now?
01:04:01Look who it is.
01:04:03Hey.
01:04:04How the hell are you?
01:04:06I'm doing great.
01:04:06How are you, Frankie?
01:04:07Good.
01:04:08Listen, you got a minute?
01:04:09I need to talk.
01:04:10I miss you, buddy.
01:04:12I miss you too, Frankie.
01:04:13Sorry I haven't called you for a while.
01:04:14It's just been so crazy at work.
01:04:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:04:16I know.
01:04:17After the divorce, Tracy turned all my friends against me.
01:04:20Oh, come on.
01:04:20Not the friends, just the wives.
01:04:22Even worse.
01:04:23I'm branded.
01:04:24I cheat on my wife, and it's like I'm banished for everyone's lives.
01:04:28The wives don't want me around, so the guy's got no choice.
01:04:30Can't have me over for barbecues.
01:04:32I'm not allowed to come over for the holidays.
01:04:33I'm like a man without a country.
01:04:36So what's up with you?
01:04:37I fucked up, Frankie.
01:04:39Oh, wait a minute.
01:04:40Don't tell me.
01:04:40You?
01:04:41Yeah, and I can't take it anymore.
01:04:43I want to end it, tell Susan the truth, and start over.
01:04:46Oh, are you nuts?
01:04:47You're not going to tell her anything.
01:04:48I have to.
01:04:50I feel so guilty.
01:04:52I don't want to hurt her anymore.
01:04:53Well, you're going to hurt her a lot more if you tell her.
01:04:56Listen to me.
01:04:57I was cheating on Tracy on and off almost the whole marriage.
01:05:00I knew I was a piece of shit, but I figured, you know, what she doesn't know won't hurt her.
01:05:04And it wasn't like I didn't love her.
01:05:05I was crazy about her.
01:05:07But you know how it is.
01:05:08Guy can go out.
01:05:08He can get laid.
01:05:09It doesn't mean anything.
01:05:10It doesn't change how he feels about his wife.
01:05:12It's something women will never understand.
01:05:16So anyway, one day I come home.
01:05:18She's in the kitchen cooking.
01:05:20She looks at me and smiles.
01:05:24I feel all this guilt.
01:05:26I say to myself, how can I do this to this woman?
01:05:29This woman that raises my kids, loves me, trusts me.
01:05:33That's my point.
01:05:35Don't you see?
01:05:35That's why I want to end it and tell her.
01:05:38This way we won't be living a lie.
01:05:39I mean, if I tell Susan the truth, she'll respect that.
01:05:42I mean, if she really loves me, she'll forgive me, right?
01:05:45That's what I thought.
01:05:46I ever went to one of those counselors and told me, well, you know, you can never go wrong with the truth.
01:05:50So I told her.
01:05:51I told her everything.
01:05:53I felt like this huge weight had been lifted off my back.
01:05:56I felt great.
01:05:57I felt cleansed.
01:05:58But you know what?
01:06:00I took all the pain I had and I dumped it on her.
01:06:03She was destroyed.
01:06:04She was destroyed.
01:06:05She didn't respect me for telling the truth.
01:06:07She hated me.
01:06:08And she was brokenhearted.
01:06:11But what happens if she finds out eventually?
01:06:13I mean, you know, what happens if somehow, some way, you know, years from now, she finds out?
01:06:18That's why I want to tell her the truth now.
01:06:20So this way I don't have this damn thing hanging over my head my whole life,
01:06:23worrying that one day she'll find out and then it'll be too late to fix it.
01:06:27Oh, that's just tough.
01:06:28That's the penance you got to pay for breaking your vows.
01:06:31That's what I should have done.
01:06:32Live with the fear.
01:06:33Live with the guilt and just make sure it never happened again.
01:06:36I mean, this girl was innocent.
01:06:37She didn't do anything wrong.
01:06:39Why should she have to go through all the pain?
01:06:41I should have kept my mouth shut, lied to her.
01:06:44Then she never would have gotten hurt and I'd still be with my family today.
01:06:47So, so who's the girl?
01:06:54My assistant.
01:06:55Oh, oh, Christ, fire her.
01:06:57Get rid of the bitch.
01:06:58I mean, it's her or Susan.
01:07:00You want to save your marriage with her?
01:07:02You got to treat this girl like she's a cancer.
01:07:04A cancer that's invading your family.
01:07:06And you got to kill it before it kills you.
01:07:09We need to talk.
01:07:17Come on in.
01:07:27Susan called.
01:07:29She was worried.
01:07:31We both were.
01:07:32You didn't come back to the office all afternoon.
01:07:34It's over, Nicole.
01:07:38You and I are over.
01:07:42Matt, you don't know what you're saying.
01:07:44This is not a discussion.
01:07:47All I want to know is if we're still going to be able to work together.
01:07:51Matt, why are you...
01:07:53Look, there's talk of a promotion for me.
01:07:55And if that happens, I'm going to recommend that you take my spot.
01:07:58You're very talented and you deserve it.
01:08:02And if we act like adults here,
01:08:03I'm sure that we can put our little affair behind us
01:08:06and still work together.
01:08:08Affair.
01:08:11This isn't an affair.
01:08:14This is the beginning of a life together.
01:08:19I love you, Matt.
01:08:22I've never felt that for a man before.
01:08:25I want to make you happy.
01:08:28Why can't I make you happy?
01:08:31Why can't I have what Susan has?
01:08:34She doesn't understand you.
01:08:37She doesn't know how to push your creative buttons like I do.
01:08:41She doesn't know how to touch you.
01:08:44Not like I do.
01:08:47What's wrong with me?
01:08:51I can give you everything you want.
01:08:53I can be your creative equal at work.
01:08:56And I can be your whore in bed.
01:08:57That's what you want, isn't it?
01:08:59Isn't that what every man wants?
01:09:01You are a twisted little girl.
01:09:03I want to have your baby, Matt.
01:09:06I want to share my life with you.
01:09:10We're partners.
01:09:12Don't you see that?
01:09:14We're partners, Matt.
01:09:16And no one can ever, ever break us apart.
01:09:19I already have a partner, Nicole.
01:09:21My wife.
01:09:24Susan is my partner.
01:09:27I've only got room in my life for one woman.
01:09:31Oh, yeah.
01:09:32What about when you were inside me?
01:09:37Were you thinking about her then?
01:09:40No.
01:09:42You weren't thinking about her or me.
01:09:44You were just thinking about yourself.
01:09:48You're just another weak, selfish man who thinks with his dick.
01:09:53I don't have to listen to this.
01:09:54You son of a bitch.
01:09:56I made you.
01:09:57If it wasn't for me...
01:09:58I gave you half of my bonus money.
01:10:01I've been more than fair.
01:10:03You used my ideas and then you fucked me.
01:10:06What do you think?
01:10:06I'm stupid?
01:10:09You think you can just suck all the creativity out of me?
01:10:12Fuck me like I'm some whore and then toss me away like I'm a piece of garbage?
01:10:15Look, I came here to try to talk this out with you.
01:10:18I thought that maybe we could reach some kind of an understanding where we could still work together.
01:10:23But obviously we can't.
01:10:28I gave all of myself to you.
01:10:35I trusted you.
01:10:38I thought you were different.
01:10:45But you're not.
01:10:47You're just a user like on a wrist.
01:10:49Let go of me!
01:10:51I will not leave that agency!
01:10:57You're sick, you know that?
01:10:58You need fucking help.
01:11:06I want you to clear your desk out before I get in there tomorrow morning, alright?
01:11:10You bastard!
01:11:12Fuck you!
01:11:12Fuck you!
01:11:17You bastard!
01:11:18You bastard!
01:11:28You bastard!
01:11:30I love you, Susan.
01:12:00I love you, Susan.
01:12:30You're not like the other side, are you different?
01:12:38You're different.
01:12:39You're different.
01:12:40You're different.
01:12:41You're different.
01:12:42You're different.
01:12:55Ugly, ugly, ugly!
01:13:00Ugh!
01:13:04Matt!
01:13:08Matt!
01:13:09All right, stay here.
01:13:18Stay up right back.
01:13:20Matt!
01:13:21All right, stay here.
01:13:22Stay up right back.
01:13:24Good work.
01:13:34Yes, sir!
01:13:36Good work.
01:13:46Nothing but the best, Nicole.
01:14:16No, thanks.
01:14:20Oh, come on. Aren't you going to have one drink?
01:14:22I don't want to dull my senses.
01:14:25I really want to be alert for this.
01:14:32You know, I knew you'd see things my way.
01:14:39Nice pool.
01:14:46You know, Nicole, there's a lot of things going on at the company that not too many people know about.
01:14:58There's going to be some big changes, and I'm going to be moving up in a major way.
01:15:03I'd like to tell you more about it, but I need to make sure that you're on my team.
01:15:10A girl could go far being on my team.
01:15:16Get yourself a good lawyer.
01:15:26Irene?
01:15:33Talk to me, Katrina. What's going on here?
01:15:38Jay's been murdered.
01:15:39What? What happened?
01:15:41I don't know.
01:15:43The police told us all the way down here.
01:15:45They're upstairs asking questions.
01:15:48Where's Nicole?
01:15:50I don't know.
01:16:06Matt, I have to talk to you.
01:16:07Not now, Kyoko.
01:16:08I'll tell you. It's very upsetting.
01:16:10Oh, there's a deal.
01:16:13What is this, Mr. Deacon?
01:16:15This is him.
01:16:16You, Matt Taylor?
01:16:17That's right.
01:16:18I'm Detective Ryan. This is Detective Maiolo.
01:16:21Do you mind if we talk to you for a minute?
01:16:23So what is this about?
01:16:24Your co-worker, Jay Williams, was murdered last night.
01:16:27A business card with your name on it was found on the floor of his house.
01:16:31Where were you last night, Mr. Taylor?
01:16:33Wait a minute.
01:16:34Are you accusing me?
01:16:36We're just asking you a couple of questions.
01:16:37I'm just having a conversation here.
01:16:39Am I under arrest?
01:16:41If you were under arrest, I would have read you your rights.
01:16:43Now, if you'd like, I can take you downtown and you can call yourself a lawyer.
01:16:46It's up to you.
01:16:48I was home last night with my wife.
01:16:51Yeah, well, one of your business cards was found at Jay Williams' house last night.
01:16:54So what?
01:16:55So he had one of my business cards.
01:16:56Yeah, but this one said you were the president of the company.
01:17:02My assistant made up those cards.
01:17:05Yeah.
01:17:05She said you told her to make them up.
01:17:08She said you were with her last night.
01:17:09She said that you were on a jealous rage and that you fired her.
01:17:12What?
01:17:13All right, wait a minute.
01:17:14Did you talk to her?
01:17:15I did.
01:17:16This morning.
01:17:17She told me everything, Taylor.
01:17:18She gave me these.
01:17:19She told me what you and Irene and Jay were planning.
01:17:25Me, Irene, and Jay?
01:17:27What the hell are you talking about?
01:17:28The three of you were in collusion to merge with another agency
01:17:31and engage in a hostile takeover out of this company.
01:17:36You were close to convincing the stockholders to vote for merger and push me out.
01:17:42But you and Jay had an argument over what position you would hold after this merger went through.
01:17:47This is a fairy tale.
01:17:48I mean, you can't possibly believe this.
01:17:51Ask Irene.
01:17:52She'll tell you that I...
01:17:53Irene has just been fired.
01:17:55Her lawyer has advised her to say nothing.
01:17:58I am filing a lawsuit against her shortly.
01:18:01With Jay dead.
01:18:03It's only your word against Nicole's.
01:18:04Yeah?
01:18:05Well, this is bullshit.
01:18:07Nicole also said that you threatened her job if she didn't have sex with you.
01:18:11I'm encouraging her, of course, to file for sexual harassment charges against you.
01:18:17All right, where is she?
01:18:18Get her in here.
01:18:19She fears for her life, Taylor.
01:18:21She's afraid you'll kill her, too.
01:18:26That's insane!
01:18:28She's nuts!
01:18:30She told Deacon that you stole her work and then you went there last night to fire her.
01:18:33I talked to Nico Santos.
01:18:35He agrees with everything she said.
01:18:37You stole her ideas.
01:18:39Did you have an affair with her, Mr. Taylor?
01:18:41Wait a minute.
01:18:42She spoke to Deacon?
01:18:44Have you two actually spoken with her yet?
01:18:47Not yet, but we will.
01:18:48Then this is all second-hand bullshit.
01:18:53You have no evidence.
01:18:55A business card on the floor?
01:18:57So what?
01:18:59I didn't kill anybody.
01:19:01Nicole is lying.
01:19:03And as soon as you talk to her, you'll realize that I'm telling the truth.
01:19:09My wife will tell you I was with her last night.
01:19:11Ma'am, the hospital just called.
01:19:13It's Susan.
01:19:13Dr. Friedman, dial 118, please.
01:19:16Dr. Adam Friedman, dial 118.
01:19:21I'm looking for Susan Taylor.
01:19:28Is my wife in there?
01:19:29I'm sorry, sir.
01:19:30Who are you?
01:19:30I'm not Taylor.
01:19:31They said this was my wife's room.
01:19:33You're going to have to speak with the doctor.
01:19:34Are you Mr. Taylor?
01:19:35Yes.
01:19:36I'm Dr. Curry.
01:19:37How is she?
01:19:38Oh, she's had a severe head injury.
01:19:40She's unconscious.
01:19:40And the baby?
01:19:44Well, I can't tell yet.
01:19:46We'll do what we can.
01:19:48Can I see her?
01:19:49Not just yet.
01:19:51I'm sorry, Mr. Taylor.
01:19:52You'll have to wait.
01:20:01Look, Mr. Taylor, we're sorry about your wife.
01:20:04We're just doing our job.
01:20:05You want to arrest me, arrest me.
01:20:07Otherwise, I'm just going to sit right here and I'm not moving.
01:20:10Until I see her.
01:20:16We've got nothing to hold him on.
01:20:22Look, Mr. Taylor, just make sure you stay in the area in case we have to reach you, okay?
01:20:26Does it look like I'm going anywhere?
01:20:29You can reach us at this number anytime.
01:20:35Hope your wife's okay.
01:20:35Okay.
01:20:35Okay.
01:20:40Matt?
01:20:44Matt?
01:20:46You're welcome.
01:20:47What are you doing here?
01:20:49I need to talk to you, Matt.
01:20:54How's Susan?
01:20:56I don't know yet.
01:20:57Look, I wanted to tell you from the beginning, Jay was looking for any way to get you out
01:21:03of the agency.
01:21:04When you hired Nicole, he had me check her background, hoping to find something he could
01:21:08use to blackmail her in hurting you.
01:21:10I only got so far that he took over, but I know he found something.
01:21:15He was downloading some files from some newspaper in Chicago.
01:21:18Chicago?
01:21:19Yeah, Chicago.
01:21:21Not Atlanta?
01:21:22No, Chicago.
01:21:23I'm sure it was Chicago.
01:21:24Do you have a copy of the file?
01:21:26No, it's in his computer.
01:21:28But I think he made a hard copy and kept it in the office.
01:21:31The thing is, the police locked it up today and I couldn't get in.
01:21:34I got to see that file.
01:21:38All right, I want you to call Detective Ryan or Maiolo at this number and tell them to
01:21:44meet me at the agency.
01:21:45The number on the back of this card is my pager.
01:21:48Stay here and wait for me.
01:21:50If anything happens with my life, page me right away.
01:21:54Thanks, Kyoko.
01:21:54Landon?
01:22:09Nicole Landon?
01:22:10I don't know.
01:22:11I don't know.
01:22:13I don't know.
01:22:23This is Joan.
01:22:39What city, please?
01:22:40Uh, Chicago.
01:22:41Uh, Woodward.
01:22:43Angela Woodward?
01:22:45I have a business or residence under that name.
01:22:48What is it, 3 a.m. there?
01:22:50Yes, sir.
01:22:51All right, give me the residence.
01:22:53All right, that's 312-555-2768.
01:22:57Okay, thanks.
01:23:05Hello?
01:23:06Hello.
01:23:07Is this Miss Woodward?
01:23:09Angela Woodward?
01:23:10The psychologist?
01:23:11Yeah.
01:23:12What time is it?
01:23:12Who is this?
01:23:13I'm sorry to be calling you so late.
01:23:16I'm calling long distance from Los Angeles.
01:23:17I'm calling about Nicole Lorette.
01:23:22I mean Landon.
01:23:23Nicole Landon?
01:23:24Oh, is this another reporter?
01:23:26No.
01:23:27I work with her in L.A.
01:23:29And there's been a murder.
01:23:33Oh, no.
01:23:34Not again.
01:23:35I thought it was over.
01:23:37What happened at the trial?
01:23:39What happened?
01:23:40Well, she was quitted.
01:23:41It was sexual harassment.
01:23:43He raped her.
01:23:44It was self-defense.
01:23:45She needs my help.
01:23:47I must speak to her.
01:23:48Where is she?
01:23:48Where is she?
01:23:48Oh, I hate you.
01:24:10I hate you.
01:24:11I hate you.
01:24:13Oh, Nicole, please.
01:24:23Let me help you.
01:24:24Fuck you!
01:24:26You want to help me now?
01:24:28Now it's too late!
01:24:31No.
01:24:32No, it isn't.
01:24:34I know what's happened to you.
01:24:36Yes, I do.
01:24:38I know.
01:24:39Shut up!
01:24:41Shut up.
01:24:42You never cared about me.
01:24:48No one's ever cared about me.
01:24:52They just wanted to fuck me.
01:24:55All you ever wanted to do was fuck me.
01:25:02Why?
01:25:06Why?
01:25:10Why?
01:25:11Why?
01:25:12I loved you, you son of a bitch.
01:25:18I loved you.
01:25:26Love you!
01:25:28Oh, my God.
01:25:58Oh, my God.
01:26:28Oh, my God.
01:26:58Susan?
01:27:00Susan?
01:27:01Are you OK?
01:27:04Yeah.
01:27:05Fine.
01:27:06Are you okay?
01:27:17No, I'm fine.
01:27:20Nicole.
01:27:22Nicole did this to me.
01:27:25Your wife just saved you.
01:27:36It's a baby.
01:27:39Is the baby okay?
01:28:06How you feeling?
01:28:08Wonderful.
01:28:10We're just a few days away.
01:28:11I can't wait.
01:28:14Matt, I need to ask you something.
01:28:18It's not going to change anything, but I have to know.
01:28:22And I want you to please tell me the truth.
01:28:25I don't care what the answer is.
01:28:28I just need to know the truth.
01:28:33Did you sleep in the cold?
01:28:36Did you have an affair?
01:28:42No.
01:28:45Oh, baby.
01:28:46Oh, baby.
01:28:48Oh, I love you so much.
01:28:51I love you, too.
01:28:54I love you, too.
01:29:06I love you, too.
