01:29Morphine, roulette, horse racing, petty theft, blah blah blah. It is me again, your devoted Lottie.
01:38I've gotten myself into a bit of a pickle.
01:45Norma?
01:47If you want to understand a tragic ending, you have to go back to the beginning.
01:53Norma!
01:54Agnes? What have you done?
02:01She was upset, so she started running and slipped on the moss on the stairs.
02:07Stupid Swiss clogs.
02:09The surprise ending was there all along.
02:13But we were all too busy looking in different directions.
02:16Your father has died. Stop. Sudden heart attack. Stop.
02:22Very sad. Stop.
02:25Come home to Palm Beach. Stop.
02:31Thank you, St. Augustine. I always knew you to be a fine fellow.
02:36The Hall of Delicottes. The oldest European inbred family.
02:45These rich turds always screwing each other and everybody else along the way.
02:51And now, you will take your place among them.
02:56They'll know I'm not her.
02:58Norma has been gone from home for years.
03:01Tragedy and time change children, so...
03:04I'm scared.
03:08I brought this when I came here.
03:12And now it's yours.
03:16So, Norma Delicott.
03:20Hurry along.
03:21Palm Beach is waiting to welcome you home.
03:24We tell ourselves stories so that we can live the lives we've always dreamed of.
03:41Poor diabetic girl with a chance at life.
03:45A fabulous life at that.
03:47What was I to do?
03:51You've lived a double life for so long.
03:55Perhaps in some ways that explains my affinity for you.
04:01You realize I've taken a tremendous risk telling you all of this.
04:06Yes, I see.
04:09My life has been sustained by secrets.
04:15But you must understand I expect complete discretion.
04:20My life, your life, depends on it.
04:32Palm Royale, front desk.
04:34It's me.
04:36I need you to make someone disappear.
04:42The happiness was all used up in the middle, wasn't it?
04:47The ending, like the beginning, is never good.
04:55It's done.
04:57I'm divorced.
04:58Good.
05:00Because if Norma finds out you spent the night here, she'll spatchcock me like a fine French hen.
05:05Hang on to your feathers, Henny Penny.
05:07I'll be out of here soon.
05:09Wouldn't trouble you.
05:10Could you get some of your porters to take my luggage to the QE2?
05:14With pleasure.
05:16And from all of us here at the Palm Royale, we wish you a very bon voyage.
05:22I wish I had known you, Stella Rue.
05:44Maybe I would have understood your son a little better.
05:50Maybe I wouldn't have ended up here with all you ladies.
05:52No offense.
05:53And as the old saw goes, when one door closes, another one opens.
06:12Gentlemen, is this a noise complaint?
06:15We'll close the windows next time.
06:16We have reason to believe you're harboring a fugitive.
06:19We have a warrant to search the premises.
06:21Well, for heaven's sake, there's no fugitive hiding here.
06:24What an absolutely intangible, impossible, and flagrantly bizarre insinuation.
06:30I am gravely beyond offended, gentlemen.
06:38Mary?
06:39Mary, if you can hear me, don't move.
06:40Half a dozen federal agents are coming to the house.
06:43Do not move, do not talk, do not dare to quiver.
06:47Mary!
06:48Hello, Evelyn.
06:49I see someone has had their coitus interrupted us.
06:54Mary, quick, hide my nostalgically, climb inside of Oz.
06:57Something.
06:58Evelyn, what the hell is going on?
07:01Um, uh, you know what?
07:07Fuck it.
07:08Every woman for themselves.
07:10Quick, she's in here.
07:12I've got her.
07:13Quick, before she kills me.
07:14Where?
07:15There!
07:16Terrible brute that she is.
07:18Your fugitive stands in front of you.
07:20Apprehend her before she tries to kill me, too.
07:23That's not Linda Shaw.
07:24Oh, you haven't heard.
07:29Linda has flown the coop.
07:31Right.
07:32Come again?
07:33I am just here to deliver a friendly message from Norma.
07:38Norma is having a very large, very festive event at the Delacorte today.
07:42It is sure to be a roaring good time for everyone in attendance.
07:47You may have noticed that you have not received an invitation to said event.
07:53You may be wondering, did a lazy postman slip it into the wrong slot?
07:58No, your invitation was not lost in the mail.
08:04It was never sent.
08:07Because you are not invited, Evelyn.
08:11Well, thank you, Mary.
08:12I think you've more than made your point.
08:14Don't shoot the messenger.
08:26Maxine?
08:28Denise, Harku goes there to you.
08:31I thought you'd be in Baden-Baden by now.
08:33Well, late tonight.
08:34My conservator, Evelyn Rollins, has signed my permission slip to travel.
08:39I got my tickets, and I just came here to say goodbye.
08:42We already said goodbye when I promised to give you half the baby's trust
08:45and flew Indy-lay to Uba-kay.
08:49I'm here to say Uba-kay to Albert Ray, not you.
08:52What?
08:52Hey, where do you want the 128 yards of velvet?
08:57Velvet?
08:57Yeah, just put it in the parlor, please.
09:01Are you having a party?
09:03No.
09:05Please.
09:05Please.
09:05Mary, you're here.
09:17In this realm, yes.
09:19Must be nice to just be out walking around, fully accepted back into society.
09:24No consequences for everything you've done.
09:26One of the perks of being invisible.
09:28The first Saturday of the new season, Norma says it'll be the wedding of the century.
09:33What in the purple cabbage patch is going on here?
09:36Maxine, I thought you were in Baden.
09:39It's Baden-Baden, Mitzi.
09:41There's two of them.
09:42Douglas?
09:43Explain.
09:45This is a party.
09:46Well, it's not really a party.
09:47It's a ceremonial betrothal portrait.
09:49To mark my, our...
09:53Your what?
09:54Engagement.
09:55The ceremony takes place every time one of the members of the founding families of Palm Beach,
10:00the Delacourts, the Donna Hughes, the David Souls gets engaged.
10:04The portrait was printed on all the front pages of the society magazines, worldwide, all over the country.
10:12I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you all that.
10:14Seems I'm the only one up to being honest with you.
10:17It's just a bunch of ritual and regalia, Max.
10:21It's nothing.
10:22Nonsense.
10:22It's a 180-year-old tradition.
10:25This is the David Souls orb.
10:26It's essential to the ceremony.
10:29And this is the famed Donahue scepter.
10:32Long may he poop.
10:33I have to douse the people with the oil.
10:38And Norma made me Mitzi's maid of honor.
10:40Sorry.
10:44Well, you all enjoy your, uh, your picture party.
10:48Ceremonial betrothal portrait.
10:50Whatever.
10:51I will be hitting all the, the glitzy, ritzy hot spots in Europe.
10:57Like Paris and London and England.
10:59Uh, and, uh, and exotic places with deceptive spellings like Ljubljana and Bruges.
11:06I lost my virginity in Ljubljana.
11:08Congrats.
11:10Where are you going?
11:12I am going to say goodbye to the only decent person in this town.
11:16Like Maxine.
11:17Don't Maxine me, Douglas.
11:20I can't believe you, you're already getting your engagement photos taken.
11:24Norma insisted.
11:25She wanted it to be in the papers before Mitzi started showing more.
11:28Norma, that homicidal maniac.
11:30Maxine, I am worried about you.
11:33My mother had all these wackadoo ideas about Norma as well.
11:37And she ended up destitute, divorced, and dead of a broken heart.
11:40I mean, she practically drowned in her own tears.
11:45Well, you don't have to worry about that with me.
11:47Because I am a strong swimmer.
11:49Why is this door locked?
12:00Robert is resting.
12:01No visitors allowed.
12:04He will want to see me.
12:07He won't.
12:08He will.
12:08He won't.
12:09Please see that he gets navel oranges.
12:16They're his favorite.
12:17Full of vitamin C.
12:18Let me look after his navel.
12:22And tell him all right.
12:24Get out of my house now!
12:33Max, Max, wait.
12:35You can't leave.
12:41I need my mother's engagement ring back.
12:46You understand.
12:51Of course.
12:52You can take this scratched-up, non-ceremonial, zero-carat bubblegum ring, and...
13:05Wouldn't you know, the one thing in my life that doesn't want to leave me.
13:10Really?
13:15These theatrics are exhausting.
13:17You know I bloat when I'm anticipating travel.
13:20Come on.
13:21You did that on purpose.
13:34It was an accident.
13:35I need my mother's engagement ring back before you leave.
13:41Before I leave?
13:43I'll work on it, but...
13:44Douglas, if I'm late for that boat, it's your fault!
13:47Well, well, well.
13:51Look who it is.
13:53Evelyn!
13:54Everything hunky-dunky?
13:56Everything is most definitely not hunky-dunky.
13:58Because apparently, someone broke Linda Shaw, a.k.a. Penelope Rollins, a.k.a.
14:02The biggest ting in my taint, out of jail.
14:05And at this very moment, federal agents, having already seized the Rollins Mansion, are in the process of freezing the estate's assets and confiscating all of my earthly possessions.
14:14Oh, boy.
14:15I have been wrecking my brain to figure what kind of criminal mastermind could orchestrate such a brazen and complex symphony of synastry.
14:25And it doesn't take a Sherlock Hemsley to deduce there's only one person with the cleverness, the intellect, and the downright diabolical genius to pull this off.
14:36Norma.
14:42Well, I don't think Norma's the only person clever enough to pull it off.
14:47Oh!
14:47I'm just saying, I'm...
14:48Good!
14:49You are still here.
14:50Apparently, as maid of honor, I'm in charge of making sure that ring gets through your lower intestine and on to Mitzi's finger.
14:57Prune time down the hatch.
14:58I'm so sorry you had to see all that.
15:00I was just on assignment.
15:01Listen, ladies, no time for prunes and apologies.
15:03Evelyn has just told me something quite shocking.
15:07That Norma has, uh, broken Linda out of jail, resulting in Evelyn losing her house and all of her money.
15:18And when I get my hands on that witch...
15:20Oh, no, no, no, wait.
15:21Wait, wait, wait, Evelyn, wait.
15:23Priorities.
15:23Let's focus on what's left of the Rollins fortune, shall we?
15:26Um, how many feds did you say were there?
15:29I don't fucking know.
15:31Maybe seven.
15:32Okay.
15:33And how many birds are in your collection?
15:35422.
15:35Not including the recent shipment of eight rare Sunset Ombre flamingos.
15:40Seven agents.
15:42Roughly 430 birds.
15:44Approximately 18 pieces of furniture in each room.
15:46It's a roundup.
15:47Multiply by 60.
15:49Divide by two.
15:50Uh-huh.
15:52Without 20 minutes for traffic, I'm gonna say that those agents are gonna need roughly six hours to do full inventory of that house and get to the bank.
15:59Ladies, all hands on deck.
16:03That bank cannot freeze assets that aren't there.
16:05To the bank!
16:06Ha-ha!
16:11Wait up!
16:12That's a lot of checks to cash.
16:17Jesus, how many trips is this?
16:18Keep it moving.
16:19Keep it moving.
16:20And that is the last of the untraceable, unreportable $9,999.
16:26Any movement down south?
16:29I fear Stella Rue's ring.
16:31Made a left at my gallbladder and was sitting for a spill.
16:34Open up.
16:37Poor Stella Rue.
16:38I've actually been doing a lot of research on the Delacourts.
16:41A lot of tragedy in the family.
16:43Oh, pray tell.
16:44Norma and Stella Rue saw their nearest and dearest parish in mysterious ways.
16:49Norma's Uncle Beauregard.
16:50Well, Stella's father, Clarence.
16:51And her beloved second cousin once removed Henrietta Bing.
16:54The list goes on and on.
16:56Yeah, part of the reason Norma amassed such a fortune is because there was nobody left to inherit it.
17:01Wasn't Stella Rue an heiress, too?
17:03What happened to all her money?
17:04Raoul Simmons.
17:05Who?
17:06Hmm.
17:07That's Douglas' father.
17:08He never talked about him.
17:09What did you talk about for 20 years?
17:12Well, airports.
17:13Airport lounges.
17:14Shampoo.
17:15Most marriages are built on less.
17:17Prune time.
17:19Raoul Simmons squandered all of Stella Rue's fortune before running off with his much younger mistress.
17:24What?
17:25Like father, like son.
17:26No.
17:26All the last of the cash.
17:28Ah.
17:30To the safety deposit boxes.
17:33No.
17:34Lead off.
17:34Ladies, what?
17:35If Evelyn finds out we are the reason she's in this mess, she's going to kill us.
17:39Ladies, get a move on.
17:40Watch the money, Ralphie.
17:45Gosh, Evelyn, remember the last time we were here?
17:47When we found all the enormous doohickeys and doodads and Douglas and Linda's wedding invitation?
17:53And oh, the Delacorte crown and the gun?
17:55Hmm.
17:55Gosh, that was a terrible time.
17:57I inherited the majority of these from Ski's first wife, Linda's mother.
18:01That's what happens when you're the second wife.
18:03You're always in the shadow of the first wife, feasting on her crumbs.
18:08Gosh.
18:08That's validating for me.
18:13It's rang.
18:14It's supposed to symbolize fidelity and commitment.
18:17Don't these things mean anything to anyone anymore?
18:20Depends on the carrot.
18:21Well, what's my marriage?
18:25Demise.
18:25Just destined from the start.
18:28Maxine, enough.
18:29Your marriage is over.
18:30Don't ruin your life trying to figure out what went wrong.
18:33That's a dick.
18:34That's it.
18:35Maxine, prune of solace.
18:38To the vault.
18:39Oh!
18:40Oh!
18:42Oh!
18:51Ladies!
18:55Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
18:57Indulge me!
18:59All those Delacortes died mysterious deaths.
19:02What if Norma offed them so she could keep the fortune for herself?
19:06Well, that sounds very far-fetched, Maxine.
19:08She tried to throw me overboard on a moving yacht
19:09and poison me with that grasshopper
19:12that accidentally poisoned you.
19:14It's not nothing.
19:15Can you blame her?
19:17You took over her life.
19:19And if that's true, why not just bump off Douglas, too?
19:24The Generation Skipping Trust.
19:28He's her only chance of unlocking it.
19:32Well, that sounds like motive to me.
19:36I don't think...
19:37You're on to something, Maxine.
19:39Norma's trying to get rid of you like she got rid of Stella Rue.
19:42Riddle me this.
19:43If Norma was the murderer,
19:44I can't help but offer that she was the last person that Axel spoke to
19:48leading me to believe that maybe she...
19:49Norma did not kill Axel, Dinah.
19:51Maxine is the one throwing around all these accusations
19:54like so much confetti.
19:55I am thinking...
19:56that is all.
19:58Putting on my justice hat.
20:00You're trying to get the Black Widow stink off of you.
20:02Well, of course I am, Evelyn.
20:04I don't want to be blamed for something that I did not do.
20:07And if Maxine is going to accuse Norma
20:09of killing all these people,
20:10why can't we just throw Axel onto the heap?
20:12Well, it doesn't align with the working theory.
20:14If Norma killed Delacorte...
20:16Why would she kill Axel?
20:17I don't know.
20:17I'm still working out that detail.
20:19Enough.
20:20Focus.
20:21First things first.
20:22We have got to find a bolt hole to stash this stuff.
20:26Hey.
20:27What if we take the tunnels?
20:29We can stash this at the disgraced social ad apartment.
20:32No one would ever think to look there.
20:33That's brilliant.
20:34To the tunnels!
20:35Ladies, you just said to the tunnels.
20:39Oh, they've got a party to go to
20:41that we weren't invited to.
20:43We will go to the tunnels!
20:44Don't forget these.
20:47One every hour.
20:49Paul, okay.
20:50I'll come help you.
20:51Come back here.
20:52God, Maxine.
20:53Has it really come to this?
20:55Two of us...
20:56crawling through the anus of Palm Beach,
21:00dragging the dregs of my wealth,
21:01unable to enter the club through the front door,
21:03reduced to being unwanted mole women?
21:08She's crazy.
21:09Don't ask about the gold.
21:10What the hell are you doing here, Mary?
21:12Have you seen my bootlegger?
21:14Oh, my God.
21:14Not the bootlegger again.
21:16Oh, I appreciate your asking.
21:19Handsome is as handsome does.
21:21My favorite thing to do is
21:23to just breathe into his translucent chest hair.
21:27I simply rest my nose upon it.
21:32Just rest it there
21:34as if upon a bowl of glass noodles.
21:38Glass noodles?
21:40Yes.
21:40Nice.
21:41I rest my nose there
21:43and I nuzzle sweetly
21:45to then fro
21:48to then fro
21:50to then...
21:52Yes, okay.
21:53We got it, Mary.
21:55Goodbye.
21:56Maxine, let's just get there.
21:58Okay.
21:58Bye.
21:59Goodbye.
22:01You're strong.
22:02You too.
22:06And that
22:06is the last of the cash.
22:10How long will I even be safe here?
22:13How long will I tell Eddie
22:15that the beautiful home he loves
22:16is no longer ours
22:18but the property of the U.S. government?
22:21Hot.
22:21Oh, my God.
22:23I'm homeless
22:24and Mary's rubbing one out with a ghost.
22:25Just a typical day in dog patch.
22:28I think there's
22:29something coming around the mountain.
22:32Oh.
22:35Come on.
22:40Jesus, Maxine.
22:43That ring is going to rip
22:45through your intestines
22:45like a razor blade
22:47to wet newspaper.
22:49I don't foresee said damage.
22:51It's just a measly little solitaire.
22:54False alarm.
22:56Does that look like
22:56a measly little solitaire to you?
23:01No, that looks like
23:03a gigantic emerald.
23:05But if that's
23:06Teller's engagement ring
23:07then whose ring
23:08is rounding my equator?
23:10Does Jesus have a middle name?
23:13Some questions
23:14will never have an answer.
23:17I think he does
23:18and it starts with an H.
23:26Evelyn?
23:28Look at us.
23:31Are we so desperate
23:32to find some reason
23:34to why we ended up
23:34the way we ended up
23:35that we spin conspiracy theories
23:38about an old coot
23:39on a killing spree?
23:40God, have we learned nothing?
23:43The real reason
23:44is much more simple.
23:46We are where we are
23:47because the world
23:48is a giant clusterfuck
23:49designed to eat ladies
23:50with gumption alive.
23:52You think I'm like you?
23:55In this moment, yes.
23:58I still believe in our theory.
24:00Oh, come on, Maxine.
24:01A little old lady like her?
24:03Well, she hasn't always been old.
24:04The complex crimes we are alleging
24:06in our adult and compromise reasoning
24:08couldn't possibly be committed
24:09by one little woman.
24:11Maybe she had help.
24:12Ah, yes.
24:14The unmistakable smell
24:16of eau de tompe
24:17and jungle gardenia.
24:20You've both been barred.
24:21Norma would not be pleased.
24:24Norma certainly has you in her thrall,
24:26doesn't she?
24:27As if you'd do anything for her.
24:30The porters will be here
24:31for your bags in two hours.
24:34And as for your insinuations,
24:36I'm sure I don't know what you mean.
24:39Well, I do know that you know
24:41that I know what you know.
24:43You know?
24:44I don't know what you're doing.
24:49Ramony crackers.
24:51Dr. Watson,
24:52everything's coming together.
24:53To the law.
24:54To the law.
24:56Gosh, we're doing a lot
24:56of running around.
24:57I'll say.
25:06So you think Norma Delacorte
25:08is a murderer?
25:10Yes.
25:10She's tried to kill me twice.
25:12Once from throwing me off a ship
25:13and once from garnishing
25:14my grasshopper with insulin.
25:15Believe me,
25:16I am not one to throw in
25:17with this psychedelic riverboat
25:18of a mine,
25:19but it makes a lot of sense.
25:20A lot of Delacorts
25:21have mysteriously died.
25:23Clarence, Irving.
25:24Henrietta Bang.
25:25Norma and Douglas
25:26are the last two standing.
25:28So?
25:29We think she's off them
25:30in order to control Douglas
25:32and the scrillions of dollars
25:33he's meant to inherit.
25:37You think this is crazy.
25:39Or that I'm not ready
25:40to emotionally disentangle myself
25:42from my marriage
25:43or something like that.
25:44Interestingly,
25:45there are some guys
25:46in the basement
25:47profiling a new species
25:48of criminal.
25:50Serial killers.
25:52Why would anyone
25:53want to murder serial?
25:54Budapix is disgusting.
25:55Not serial as in a series.
25:59Repeat killers.
26:01It's really fascinating work.
26:03You know,
26:04one of the things
26:04they've discovered
26:05is that the perps
26:06like to keep little trophies,
26:07you know,
26:08to remind them of their kill.
26:09The little things
26:10that remind them
26:12of a person
26:12that...
26:14No.
26:16No, Virginia.
26:16Do not get caught up
26:17in this mess.
26:18No, please.
26:18Get caught up.
26:19Forget it.
26:20I'm not sticking my neck
26:21out on the line
26:21for you again.
26:22Again?
26:24Ever.
26:27Wait.
26:28You said
26:29they collect
26:31little things.
26:34What about all those
26:36doohickeys and doodads
26:37and Norma's
26:38safety deposit box?
26:40Those things weren't junk.
26:41They were trophies.
26:42Norma's a serial killer.
26:44Oh, boy.
26:46Look,
26:47you two gumshoes
26:48find me some actual evidence
26:49and then maybe we can talk
26:50unofficially.
26:53But as for now,
26:55I need y'all to leave.
26:57Okay.
27:01Thank you for that
27:02help with the parking ticket,
27:05ma'am.
27:06Paid in full.
27:06Good advice.
27:07Didn't think about that.
27:09I was gonna do installments.
27:13Are you thinking
27:14what I'm thinking?
27:15We cross-checked
27:15the items in that box
27:16with the Delacorte debts
27:17and Bob's your uncle?
27:18Chinks bought me a Coke.
27:20We gotta get that key
27:20to that safety deposit box.
27:22There's lots more
27:23to talk about with shampoos.
27:24There's Prell,
27:25Prell Plus,
27:26Prell Plus,
27:27Silky Lady.
27:28That's the one
27:28that specializes him.
27:29Hey, get a vaccine.
27:30Look who it is.
27:31What's he doing here?
27:33Enormous little helper.
27:35He does not have
27:36the look of an innocent man.
27:37He does not.
27:38Go get that key.
27:39I'm gonna follow him.
27:40Oh, I love this.
27:41Look at us.
27:41We should open
27:42a detective agency.
27:43Max and Eves,
27:44detectives at large.
27:45Or some about us being ladies.
27:46Cool it, Kung Pa.
27:47Go get the key.
27:48Oh, my gosh.
27:49Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry.
27:59Rokita is having a moment.
28:12I don't like it.
28:13Well, I think it's heavy.
28:16It just adds pound.
28:18One sec.
28:20I just think it adds too much weight.
28:22Oh, excuse us.
28:29What?
28:31What?
28:37Maxine.
28:59What is he doing?
29:15You can fit a dead body in there.
29:18Here you go.
29:28Where's he going?
29:29We'll follow him with the body.
29:32We'll follow him with the body.
29:34Damn it.
29:36Pick a path, everyone. Pick a path.
29:39No, there's got to be a way around it.
29:41Maxine.
29:43Ladies, would you excuse us?
29:51Maxine, you can't be here.
29:53You need to disconnect.
29:54Unless you brought the ring.
29:57I'm gonna hang on to it for now.
29:59Um, I did bring some news, but it's far from wonderful.
30:08Your mother was murdered, Douglas, by Norma.
30:13No, no, no, I know it sounds crazy.
30:15Look, when we were at the bank, it all just came together.
30:19She got rid of your mother and then me, just so she could control you and the baby trust.
30:23I don't know, there's something called serial killers where they collect trophies.
30:27Trophies?
30:27Those dingle dangles from the people they murder.
30:29Maxine, this behavior of yours.
30:31My mother was always coming up with these conspiracy theories about Norma.
30:35And now that we are divorced, I am just worried that you are gonna end up like her.
30:39Destitute, alone, out of your mind, and dead.
30:42You have a broken heart, blah, blah, face it, Douglas, you married your mother.
30:46But unlike her, I'm not going anywhere.
30:50She was a healthy 30-year-old woman, Douglas.
30:52It's physically impossible to drown in one's tears.
30:55She was my mommy.
31:08Now, sweetie, listen, I can prove everything.
31:14I just need Norma's key to her safety deposit box.
31:17How in the world would we get that?
31:19Your ding-dang portrait, that's how.
31:25Let the Ceremonial Delacorte Portrait Ceremony begin.
31:32First comes the chanting, then comes the Latin,
31:34then comes the chanting in Latin,
31:37then the orbit scepter.
31:38Please proffer your plumes and make passage
31:42for the mighty scepter of House Donahue.
31:46Domino!
31:51Dominus!
31:51D'Agostino!
31:58Next!
32:00I never got to do any of this sort of thing.
32:03You don't care about an orbit scepter.
32:05Don't tell me whether or not I care about an orbit scepter.
32:07E pluribus unum
32:10vene vidi
32:13vici.
32:14And now the glowing orb of House David's soul.
32:23The orb rests to remind us
32:26to ope our eyes
32:28and waken.
32:32Ope and waken.
32:34Ope and waken.
32:36Ope and waken.
32:38Ope and waken.
32:40And then Mitzi enters donning the Joan Cloak.
32:43Joan Cloak?
32:44Wherefore are you come this day
32:46to meet the newest member of House Delacorte?
32:50Joan of Arc, her cloak,
32:51suppose that's what she was wearing
32:52before the burning situation.
32:55She greets you.
32:57It's nice they took her coat off.
32:58And now the mammoth shield
33:27to ward off attackers of the House.
33:29That's my cue.
33:30Good luck.
33:32Douglas!
33:33Get your ass in here.
33:34The candles are aflamed.
34:04Remember to smile.
34:13Let's see those front page pearly whites.
34:17Oh, great.
34:18Dinah, you're gonna have to find a way
34:20to hike up a smile, hon.
34:23That's wrong.
34:26Yes, you.
34:27I think what you're saying
34:28is that you need me to move to my right.
34:30Norma, would you mind move a skosh to your right?
34:36It really is your best angle.
34:39You're a deer.
34:41Oh, that's better.
34:42Lower.
34:43A little lower.
34:46A little lower.
34:47Now forward.
34:49Not you, Norma.
34:51Everyone but Norma.
34:52Forward.
34:55Perfect.
34:56Great.
34:57Yep.
34:59Got it.
35:00I can't wait to see what's in here.
35:07I want Norma to pay.
35:09I just can't help but thinking
35:11there's a larger game afoot here.
35:14Something bigger than you want to be.
35:17What do you mean?
35:18Well, perhaps we're here
35:21because our family's made such bad decisions
35:24that you and I had nothing to do with.
35:29Okay.
35:32Where is everything?
35:35It's just a bunch of rocks and pebbles.
35:38What's that say?
35:40It says, fuck you, Maxine.
35:43Yes, I'm getting that same read.
35:50Well, it was an interesting theory.
35:52That's all it was.
35:55Norma's not a killer.
35:58You're just going to have to let this go.
36:01Maybe I don't want to let it go.
36:04Maybe I just don't want to go.
36:10There's still time to make your boat.
36:13Porter's at the Palm Royale.
36:19Should be getting my bags any minute.
36:22And I'll be sure to send your mother's ring back.
36:24After a good bleaching, of course.
36:29Hey.
36:33I'll give you a minute.
36:35I'll pull the car around.
36:36Maybe one last goodbye.
36:58Let's go.
36:59Put her bags to the boat.
37:00Hello, Sidonius.
37:18You can stop pacing.
37:20My legs are crossed and my lips are locked.
37:23And you can stop running me the hell around.
37:26Here's something most people don't understand about the human condition.
37:30As soon as you do the terrible thing, the thing you never thought you'd do,
37:36a new question starts to haunt you day and night.
37:41Was it worth it?
37:42And that question will suck the very life out of you.
37:46Spoken like someone who's been there.
37:49You, however, have crossed a line.
37:50A line that I would never cross.
37:52Because it never had to.
37:54Jeez, you come into my office like you own it.
37:58You people.
37:59Everything is yours, isn't it?
38:00When I started working for Norma, it felt good.
38:15It felt good to be able to afford to give my children what they wanted.
38:22You get used to nice things.
38:25You of all people should understand that.
38:28horse riding lessons, piano, archery.
38:34And when your children look up at you and ask you to keep the promises you made,
38:40you'll do anything.
38:45Because it's your fault you got in this deep.
38:48You let yourself go further and further.
38:50A rhinestone headboard.
38:52Excuse me?
38:53Don't worry about that, Evelyn.
38:54That's not the point.
38:55The point is...
38:56You'll do anything.
39:00Even...
39:01Even...
39:02What?
39:05Even...
39:06Even...
39:08Even...
39:09Even...
39:10Even...
39:12Even...
39:14Murder!
39:18Mortgage.
39:20Mortgage?
39:21Hey.
39:29So happy to see you.
39:32Oh, Robert.
39:33Hi, how are you?
39:36Ouch!
39:36Oh, I'm so sorry.
39:37Did I hurt you?
39:38It's okay.
39:38Did I open some wound or something?
39:40I'm good.
39:41I'm alive.
39:43Listen, I'm...
39:44I'm off to Europe and I...
39:46I couldn't leave without saying goodbye.
39:48Is Norma taking good care of you?
39:52As she always does.
39:54She's keeping me well fed and well rested and...
39:57My shots, she's giving them to me right on schedule.
40:00Oh.
40:02She loves you.
40:04In fact, you're probably the only person in the world she loves.
40:06How are you, Maxine?
40:12How am I?
40:13Hmm.
40:15I don't know.
40:18My mind's been sort of...
40:20Fractured.
40:22You know, all over the place.
40:23The past couple weeks.
40:26I had this crazy theory that...
40:28I thought Norma was a...
40:30Was a murderer and she kept little trophies from her kills.
40:33And I...
40:34I really thought I had her.
40:40But it turns out I think it was just a...
40:44A distraction.
40:47A way to not leave.
40:50A way to hold on to something that's...
40:54That's already gone.
40:55Doesn't matter where you go.
40:56I'll be waiting for you right here.
41:00I'm going to miss you so damn much.
41:02I'm going to miss you so damn much.
41:07Well...
41:08Gosh.
41:10Speaking of trophies...
41:13The Delacourts sure love celebrating themselves, don't they?
41:19Polo championship.
41:23Golf, of course.
41:25Oh.
41:26It's a little Douglas section.
41:29Douglas Delacourt.
41:30Best attitude.
41:31Sweet.
41:37Douglas Delacourts.
41:39Most interested in the subject.
41:42Is that a thing?
41:44Best breaststroke in Florida.
41:46Wow.
41:47Stella Rudella.
41:49What is that?
41:55This is...
41:55This is Stella Rude's emerald ring.
41:57Oh, my gosh.
42:01That's it.
42:01Of course that's it.
42:03Oh, my gosh.
42:03The trophy room.
42:04The trophy room what?
42:07What are you doing, Maxine?
42:09Look, look.
42:10There's all sorts of doohickeys in these things.
42:13So?
42:14Look at this.
42:17Look, look, look.
42:18Robert.
42:18Cufflinks.
42:19Okay.
42:20Uh, A-R.
42:23Axel Rosenhipps.
42:25Oh, my gosh.
42:26Tana was right.
42:28Norma killed him, too.
42:29Oh, my God.
42:30Maxine, you've got to stop.
42:31She didn't kill him.
42:31She told me he died of a broken heart.
42:33That's it.
42:34What?
42:35Where are you going?
42:36I'm going to stop that killing
42:37before she starts killing people
42:38that she wants to kill
42:39before they get killed.
42:40A normal day, please.
42:42Maxine.
42:43Evelyn.
42:45Evelyn.
42:45Where's Norma?
42:46The place is deserted.
42:48Some party.
42:49Okay, listen, listen, listen.
42:51I found the trophies.
42:53And they weren't in the safety deposit box.
42:54They are in the, get this,
42:56the trophy room.
42:57Our cuckoo theory about her being a killer
42:59isn't so cuckoo after all.
43:01And I know why the club manager
43:02was acting so strange.
43:04He helped her.
43:05He was helping himself to the Palm Royale.
43:08He has mortgaged the place to the hilt.
43:10Because of him, it's up to his eyeballs in debt
43:12and in desperate need of cash.
43:15We have cash?
43:18Wait a minute.
43:20You're already there, aren't you?
43:21Yes, I am.
43:21We can buy the Palm Royale.
43:23And rule, Palm Beach.
43:25Evelyn!
43:25Okay, first, first we've got to put
43:26that homicidal maniac in jail.
43:28And I get to wring her neck
43:29for releasing Linda.
43:30You'll have your shot,
43:31but I think I have to do this by myself.
43:34You understand.
43:35Not really, no.
43:47Just the woman I was looking for.
43:51Can I fix you anything?
43:54What is it you drink again in Tennessee?
43:57Well, liquid shit.
44:00Everybody knows that my favorite drink
44:02is a grasshopper.
44:04Nasty little grasshopper
44:06for a thieving locust.
44:09How dare you insult the humble grasshopper
44:11and his penchant for storing up food for winter.
44:14It's an ant, you idiot.
44:18Since you're an expert in fables,
44:21I've got one for you.
44:23It's about a swan.
44:26A beautiful, rich swan
44:29that lives in a tall tower of riches.
44:33And every now and then,
44:35even though it's against swan law,
44:38she would kill a duckling.
44:42And then she would squirrel away little mementos
44:48until one day a common little mouse came to town
44:52and found all those mementos,
44:57proving to everyone
44:59that that swan is a dirty little killer,
45:03sending her to jail for birds,
45:08evil birds,
45:11bird jail.
45:15Since you've connected all the dots,
45:17why don't you call the police and end all this?
45:22That's a good idea.
45:24I mean, I had that idea.
45:26In fact, I'll do you one better.
45:28I am going to call my personal contact at the FBI.
45:34You just stay right there.
45:36Don't move.
45:38Don't you move.
45:40Gotta get the phone.
45:41It's over here, around the corner.
45:45I got it.
45:46You know, every fable has a moral.
45:50Hmm?
45:52So tell me, Maxine,
45:54what's the moral of this fable?
45:59FBI, Palm Beach.
46:01Hello?
46:01No, Maxine, no, don't kill me.
46:03Don't, Maxine.
46:05What?
46:06Ah!
46:08I'll get you!
46:20She's getting away!
46:21Meet me at the beach!
46:23She's getting away!
46:26Evelyn!
46:27Maxine!
46:45Maxine!
46:45What happened?
46:48Did you find her?
46:49Maxine, what did you do?
46:51No, Maxine, no, don't kill me!
46:54Don't, Maxine!
46:59I think maybe your ring is about to exit the building.
47:06Keep it.
47:07Let's get it!
47:14Hey!
47:15Good day!
47:25Hey!
47:27Hey!
47:31Hey!
