01:15Sorry I'm late.
01:18Where are the kids?
01:20Uh, when I left, Hunter was making love with his iPad on the terrace and Tori was ordering room service
01:26like her life depended on it.
01:27I made dinner reservations.
01:28What are you going to do?
01:30Best laid plans.
01:32Hi.
01:33I will have a Negroni, please.
01:35Sure.
01:36Oh, well.
01:38It's my vacation drink.
01:39I thought too much rosé was your vacation drink.
01:43Yeah, so I guess Negroni's on my vacation is over drink.
01:47Reentry's a bitch.
01:48I don't want to go home.
01:49Hey, we're here till we're not.
01:51What?
01:52Negroni for the lady.
01:53Enjoy.
01:53It's my vacation philosophy.
01:55Wow.
01:56Coop, that's deep.
01:57You know that actually doesn't mean anything, right?
01:59It will after your second Negroni.
02:01I may switch to Mezcal.
02:02Famous last words.
02:06There will be others.
02:08Last words?
02:09No, vacations like this.
02:11You think?
02:13We're here till we're not.
02:15Oh, my God.
02:16Make it stop.
02:17Think about it.
02:18We've been very evolved doing something like this.
02:22Easier when we're not sleeping with each other's friends.
02:24Hey, you did it first.
02:25You were charged with murder.
02:27Fair.
02:28Can I have another one, please?
02:29Wow.
02:32Put that down quick.
02:33Miles to go before I sleep.
02:36We're 50, Coop.
02:38Damn.
02:40I really thought I'd have it all figured out by now.
02:42Or at least I thought I wouldn't be starting from scratch.
02:45Listen, this time last year, I was looking at life in prison.
02:49And we could have lost everything.
02:51So I think we're doing okay.
02:52What you're saying is you lowered the bar.
02:55I obliterated the bar.
02:56There is no bar.
02:59Let's get very, very, very drunk.
03:03Okay.
03:17Do I interrupt that?
03:19Not at all.
03:20Sitting here drinking Negronis.
03:22You're looking to get laid.
03:22Not my type.
03:24Bullshit.
03:25I would do her.
03:27Really?
03:28I mean, if that's the case, I wasn't prepared for that.
03:31I just, uh, I could rally.
03:33You know, we're all consenting adults.
03:34In your dreams.
03:35I've had that dream.
03:36Don't let me get in your way.
03:37You're not in my way.
03:38You're not getting in my way.
03:39I mean, you're on vacation.
03:41If that's what you want to do, damn it, you should do it.
03:42That's not what I want to do.
03:44I mean, the kids bailed.
03:46It's your last night.
03:47We managed to make it through the entire trip without falling into bed together.
03:50Yay for us, by the way.
03:51Yay for us.
03:53This is America.
03:54Mexico, actually.
03:55You're well-preserved.
03:58And if you want to get yourself some, you should get yourself some.
04:01If I wanted to do anything, I would have done it already.
04:06That easy, is it?
04:10Yeah.
04:12I'm gonna go.
04:13Where are you going?
04:14What just happened?
04:16Nothing happened.
04:17You're good.
04:18I'm good.
04:18You say that.
04:19I'm not gonna sit here and cock block you.
04:24I feel like this conversation just took a left turn.
04:27You'd be right about that.
04:31Hey, I got us a table at Flora Farms.
04:35Do you have any idea how hard that was?
04:37Best laid plans, right?
04:44There was a moment when going on vacation with my ex-wife seemed inconceivable.
04:49Turns out, there was good reason for that.
04:52But even having another argument with Mel that I didn't fully understand
04:55couldn't stop me from relishing the fact that I was drinking smooth whiskey on the beach
04:59at a five-star resort.
05:01When I could have been serving 25 to life.
05:03All things considered, things were on the upswing.
05:08This is what happens.
05:10You get arrested for murder.
05:12You get exonerated.
05:13You get offered your old job back.
05:14But you decide to go a different way.
05:16Burning that bridge once and for all.
05:18Which means your interim income source is now your primary income source.
05:22So you level up.
05:25And mend fences.
05:28Nothing buries the hatchet faster than a solid revenue stream.
05:32But in a town where perception is nine-tenths of the law, you want to keep up appearances.
05:38Like having an office in Manhattan to go to work in every day.
05:41Which helps get your co-parenting back on track.
05:44Let's go.
05:49And now that life is feeling manageable, you can finally enjoy being single.
06:06Which means nights on the town.
06:10And nights spent at home.
06:27You couldn't say if it was being arrested for murder or exonerated.
06:32But somehow the entire Tawdry episode has boosted your social cachet.
06:36Not so much for Sam Levitt.
06:39Her lawyer managed to plead her down to a hefty fine in community service.
06:44She may have gotten off easy.
06:46But there's another law in Westmont Village.
06:49And that particular court shows no mercy.
06:53Life is better than it's been for a while.
06:55The family dynamic is more or less working.
06:58Your kids are thriving.
06:59And if there are moments where the simmering pain of your fractured family still threatens to kick your ass.
07:06Well, that's where those nights I mentioned before come in.
07:10And failing that, there's always scotch in a classic movie.
07:14What'd you do it?
07:16Why'd you waste time and say no reason?
07:19You're finally feeling comfortable again.
07:21In control.
07:23Safe.
07:24Optimistic even.
07:30And as you already know from painful experience, that's generally when life will serve up a perfectly aimed kick in
07:38the crotch.
08:03Mr. Ash.
08:05Hi.
08:06Rini Hudson.
08:06We spoke on the phone?
08:07Hi, Rini.
08:08Hi.
08:08How are you?
08:09Wow.
08:09Nice car.
08:10Oh, are you a car person?
08:11I mean, not exactly, but...
08:13Oh, small talk.
08:14Small talk.
08:14Sorry.
08:15Okay, after you.
08:24Hello.
08:26Hi.
08:26Are you the listing broker?
08:28Yes.
08:28Samantha Lovett.
08:29Hi.
08:29Owen Ash.
08:30You don't look like a realtor.
08:32I mean that in the best possible way.
08:34Oh, I'm kind of new to it.
08:35Oh, hey, Rini.
08:36Hey, Samantha.
08:40So, Mr. Ash, should I show you around the house?
08:42Oh, just Ash.
08:42Okay.
08:43Ash.
08:43Uh, yeah, I would, uh, yeah, I'd love that, but honestly, I don't want to waste your time,
08:48because I just feel like there's no world in which I'm buying this house.
08:51Oh, well, that was quick.
08:53No, it's just too small.
08:54It's just, I mean, it's way too small, actually.
08:56I mean, I'm standing here and, I don't know, I can already feel the entire house, you know?
09:00I want something I can get lost in, and this, yeah, I don't know, some of these design elements, yuck.
09:07Yeah, I don't know.
09:09I was pretty clear I was looking for something much grander, you know?
09:12With a lot more oomph, some wow.
09:14But this place isn't even remotely...
09:16It's my house.
09:17It's your house?
09:18Mm-hmm.
09:19And that would have been great information to have before I arrived.
09:22I didn't know if she was disclosing that fact, considering the... the circumstances.
09:27The circumstances.
09:29What Rini is so subtly referring to is the fact that my husband died here last year.
09:34Oh, wow.
09:35Well, I'm sorry for your loss.
09:38My wife died eight years ago, so, you know, I'm in the club.
09:41I'm sorry for your loss.
09:42Oh, thank you.
09:43How did he die?
09:45He killed himself.
09:47What, here in the house?
09:49Pretty much right where you're standing.
09:52Wait a minute.
09:52This is that house?
09:53That whole thing?
09:54Mm-hmm.
09:55Yeah, made the news.
09:56They arrested you.
09:57Yes.
09:58You're a dangerous woman.
09:59Yeah.
10:01Hey, I've had a couple of brushes with the law myself.
10:03Then I guess we're both in that club, too.
10:05I guess so.
10:07Okay, well, um, Mr. Ashe, we should probably get going.
10:10Yeah, yeah.
10:11Hey, uh, Samantha, why would a broker, who knows, I'm in a different league, show me this house?
10:19It's her fluffer house.
10:21A fluffer house?
10:23No, that's, that's not a thing.
10:25It makes the next house that she shows you look even bigger and grander by comparison.
10:30No, no, no.
10:32I like to educate my clients about the entire market before they consider a purchase.
10:37Is that something you do?
10:39Uh, hard to say.
10:41No one in this town will give me a listing.
10:43What?
10:43Why not?
10:45Oh, right.
10:46The whole convicted felon thing.
10:48It was pleaded down to a few misdemeanors, actually.
10:50That's great.
10:50Good for you.
10:52Will you give me a minute?
10:54Sure.
10:54Rini.
10:55Yeah?
10:55Yeah, do you mind if I chat with you for a sec?
11:18That's the 750S, right?
11:23Yeah.
11:24It's a good car.
11:26Yes, it is.
11:28Hey, um, I'm suddenly finding myself in need of a realtor.
11:33How's your day looking?
11:43Yes.
11:44Hey, Rini.
11:44You have the listing for the Bisbee estate, right?
11:47Yes, but this is not okay.
11:48Can you get us in in about ten minutes?
11:51Sure.
11:52Great.
11:52You know, I was planning to take him there.
11:53We're all set.
11:54Nice.
11:55Let's take my car.
11:56Hey, Samantha.
11:57Sam.
11:58Okay, Sam.
11:59I'm just wondering, how many houses have you actually sold?
12:02Including this one?
12:03Uh, none.
12:06Great.
12:24A paper shadow in a house of stone, the wooden flag of a drifting dream boat.
12:34I never knew how far the ride was going to go, till I look back at the smoke.
12:43You can't keep up with the Joneses.
12:47Don't want to smell the Joneses.
12:49Don't want to run for the roses.
12:50Don't want to run for the roses.
12:52I got my pocket of poses.
12:58Sometimes I wonder why.
13:01Sometimes I wonder why.
13:02I just don't have the Joneses.
13:08Don't want to smell the dying roses.
13:13I got my pocket full of poses.
13:18I don't keep up with the Joneses.
13:23I don't want to smell the Joneses.
13:56I'm Jeff Pratt with the Princeton Alumni Schools Committee, and I'll be conducting your interview.
14:01Got it.
14:02I know your parents from back in the day.
14:05Are they well?
14:05Yes.
14:06Yeah.
14:07So, Tori, tell me, why Princeton?
14:10Aside from the fact that both your parents went there.
14:13That's not enough.
14:16Well, put another way, what is it you're looking to get out of your four years with us?
14:22Oh, are you on the faculty there?
14:25What?
14:26No.
14:26I just assumed when you said us.
14:29I'm sorry.
14:30It's been your speech.
14:31Oh.
14:31Okay.
14:34There's no need to be nervous.
14:37This is just us talking here.
14:39Well, first of all, Jeff, I think we should acknowledge the pro forma nature of this interview.
14:48I'm a legacy kid on both sides whose father has been a consistent donor, and the reason
14:54he's been a consistent donor, the reason so many graduates of the IVs continue to support
14:58their alma maters, is to make sure there's a spot for their kids there.
15:02Because, well, let's be honest, there are much worthier charities to support.
15:07You all torched the planet in the name of capitalism, and now, rather than try to undo
15:11the damage or feed the hungry or house the homeless, you're giving millions to 300-year-old
15:16institutions roddled with systemic racism, anti-Semitism, and sexism in order to ensure
15:22that yet another generation of privileged rich kids will continue to hoard the lion's
15:26share of what's left of the planet's remaining resources, while the unwashed masses go to
15:31war with the scraps.
15:33So I appreciate you taking the time, but let's be honest.
15:38We both know I'm going to be accepted, because you all engineered the system to do just that.
15:50I didn't engineer anything.
15:52Sorry.
15:54Figure your speech.
15:59Also, tennis.
16:01What?
16:03I'm being recruited for tennis.
16:06I probably should have led with that.
16:25Now this is what I'm talking about.
16:39How much?
16:4120 million.
16:42But I'm sure there's some wiggle room there.
16:43I'll take it.
16:45Okay.
16:46So, you're offering fulasking?
16:48Yeah, in cash.
16:49But I want to close by Monday.
16:50Monday?
16:51Yeah.
16:51Well, we're going to need at least a week for contracts, and then you're going to want
16:54to do a thorough inspection, so...
16:55I'm going to have a whole team up here tomorrow to kick the tires.
16:57In the meantime, you can get the paperwork to my lawyer.
16:59Hey, congratulations.
17:01You just sold your first house.
17:04What is it you do again?
17:07We elect a U.S. Senator for how many years?
17:11Six.
17:12Okay.
17:14Name five of the original 13 states.
17:17Colonies.
17:18New York, New Jersey.
17:20Connecticut.
17:21Massachusetts.
17:23Rhode Island.
17:24Delaware.
17:24New Hampshire.
17:27Maryland.
17:28Virginia.
17:30Pennsylvania.
17:32Georgia.
17:33That's 11.
17:35What am I forgetting?
17:37How do you know all this?
17:38I watch a lot of Jeopardy.
17:48Guess what?
17:50What?
17:52A drawer full of Cartier love bracelets.
17:57I'm telling you, every woman in this town wears like 10 of them.
18:01I don't get it.
18:01They wouldn't be caught dead wearing the same dress.
18:03They all need to have this one thing.
18:05It's like a requirement or something.
18:07You want me to grab you a couple?
18:08I'll never miss them.
18:10That's not a club I need to join.
18:12Okay?
18:12Just find the pen.
18:13It's in the office behind the primary bedroom.
18:17North and South Carolina.
18:19What?
18:19The other two colonies.
18:22Okay.
18:22Now you're just showing off.
18:31It's not in their desk.
18:37Oh.
18:39Bingo.
18:39A drawer full of pens.
18:43You sure he would keep something valuable in a mess like this?
18:48Natalia says he gets a crazy expensive pen every time he signs a deal and then just throws
18:52it in the drawer.
18:53It's like some sort of ritual.
18:55Alright.
18:57I found it.
18:58The Etoile de Mont Blanc joaillier fountain pen.
19:02With just 15 produced worldwide, this limited edition is crafted entirely out of 18-karat rose gold.
19:10Adorned with cognac diamonds and a nib that supposedly glides more smoothly than Remova wheels.
19:16It's not just a pen.
19:19But an aspirational work of art.
19:21Reselling for $165,000.
19:24I'm not sure what's worse.
19:25That someone pays that for a pen or that he tosses it into a cluttered drawer with 30 others.
19:30Either way, a guy like that deserves to lose it.
19:33Shit.
19:34What?
19:34I dropped the fucking thing.
19:36Let me get it.
19:38I got it.
19:40Ah!
19:42Coop?
19:42What happened?
19:44Coop?
19:46What is it?
19:47My back went out.
19:50I really think it hurts.
19:52I can't move.
19:53What do you mean you can't move?
19:54Just get out here.
19:55I mean, I can't move.
19:57I'm lying on my back.
19:59You can't be serious, Coop.
20:01Do I sound like I'm fucking joking?
20:03Shit.
20:04Okay.
20:04I'm coming in.
20:05No.
20:07My back had been seizing up ever since Christian's art thugs worked me over last year.
20:11Usually, a cocktail of painkillers and muscle relaxants would do the trick, and a few days later, I'd be golden.
20:16But I didn't have a few days.
20:18I had less than two hours before the people who lived there would be back, and when it came to
20:21thinking up an explanation for how I came to be lying on their floor, I was drawing a blank.
20:25Okay.
20:26Shit.
20:27We gotta move.
20:28Okay, okay.
20:29Just help me up here.
20:30Okay.
20:32Oh, fuck.
20:33No.
20:33Fuck.
20:33Fuck.
20:33Oh, no.
20:34Okay.
20:37Oh, God.
20:40You're like dead fucking weight.
20:41Can't move you.
20:42Can you crawl?
20:43No.
20:43I can't even roll over.
20:44This is crazy.
20:46Just give me a few minutes.
20:47We don't have a few minutes.
20:47Well, then go.
20:48I'll figure something out.
20:49I'm not gonna bail on you.
20:50Well, I can't move.
20:51We're gonna have to call someone.
20:52No.
20:53No.
20:54You can't move.
20:56Fuck.
20:57Oh.
20:58Coop.
20:58Fuck.
21:02We have to call someone.
21:04Oh, shit.
21:07Who?
21:10Okay, what the fuck?
21:12I'll explain later.
21:13Can you just please help me up?
21:14You'll explain what you're doing on the floor of some random house with Nick's housekeeper?
21:18Elena.
21:19I know your name.
21:21Question.
21:22Whose house is this?
21:24The Hemings.
21:24And you know them how?
21:26We don't.
21:28We don't.
21:29We don't.
21:30We don't.
21:30We don't.
21:30We don't.
21:30Really?
21:31We?
21:31Can we hurry this up, please?
21:32We need to move.
21:33Just so I'm clear, and I'm sorry if I've misread the situation here.
21:37We are currently trespassing.
21:39Correct.
21:39And why would we be doing that?
21:41Okay.
21:42They're gonna be home any minutes, so can we finish up this Q&A later?
21:45Q&A?
21:46Huh.
21:47That's funny.
21:49She's funny.
21:49Who knew?
21:50Barney!
21:51Please!
21:54Okay.
21:56I'll grab his left.
21:57I'll grab his right.
21:57One, three.
21:59One, two, three!
22:04When does your sister get home?
22:05She's gonna be playing for another couple hours at least.
22:09Okay.
22:09Do you have pills for this?
22:10Yeah.
22:10Upstairs in the medicine cabinet there's Flexeril and Percocet, please.
22:14Both of them.
22:14Yep.
22:20So, instead of taking back your job at Bailey Russell, a job that would pay you seven or eight
22:26figures annually before bonus, you're robbing houses with Nick's housekeeper.
22:31A layman?
22:31I know her name.
22:36I take it you two are...
22:38What?
22:38No.
22:39What?
22:40Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:40Because that would be the crazy part in this all fucked up scenario.
22:45I know it's a lot to absorb.
22:46I'm not absorbing anything.
22:48You know why?
22:49Because it doesn't make any fucking sense.
22:51I mean, if this were some kind of sex kink thing, then fine.
22:54I mean, not fine, but at least I'd be able to wrap my brain around it.
22:57But if not that, then what?
22:59What is this?
23:00Is this some sort of elaborate three-stage midlife crisis?
23:04You know, divorce wasn't enough.
23:05Losing your job wasn't enough.
23:06Getting arrested for murder was...
23:09Oh, my God.
23:13Poop, did you kill Paul Levitt?
23:15No.
23:16What are you talking about?
23:17I don't know what I'm talking about!
23:19My best friend just told me he's some sort of suburban cat burglar.
23:23I mean, how do you even move the stuff?
23:24Do you have a fence?
23:26No.
23:26No.
23:28Don't tell me.
23:28I don't want to know.
23:34Wait a minute.
23:39Coop.
23:46What the heck?
23:46I don't know.
23:47What'm wrong with that?
23:47Oh, my God, please.
23:53I agree with that.
23:53I could have been fucking killed.
23:55I thought we knew past this.
23:56I thought you weren't a motherfucking thief.
24:00Oh, I don't believe it.
24:06All right. Mm-hmm.
24:12What?
24:13Oh, nothing. I just...
24:15I just can't wait to hear this meet-cute story.
24:18Do you have a problem with me?
24:19Of course I have a problem with you.
24:21I have a problem with all of this!
24:22Don't yell at me!
24:24I'm not yelling at you! I'm yelling near you!
24:26You're building the whole problem!
24:29Enough! God damn it!
24:33I gotta get the fuck out of here.
24:35Barney?
24:36Barney!
24:37What?
24:39Thank you for coming to get me.
24:42Fuck you, Coop.
24:43Fuck you very much.
24:48Pop!
24:50It actually went a lot better than I thought it was going to.
24:53I know, you can't.
24:55You're like...
24:55Yeah.
24:56Thanks.
24:58Can I just give us a second?
24:59Mm-hmm.
24:59Thanks.
25:03I feel like they're kicking us out.
25:05Right now, we do seem to be closing the place down.
25:13What?
25:14I really can't remember the last time I enjoyed myself just talking to someone like this.
25:19I have been exceptionally witty tonight.
25:22Oh really?
25:22Is that what it is?
25:23Oh yeah, yeah.
25:23Brought my best material.
25:25So it's all downhill from here?
25:26Oh yeah, pretty much.
25:30God.
25:32When...
25:34When you get divorced, I feel like you're so focused on the act of dissolving the marriage,
25:39you don't think about the complications that are going to come afterwards.
25:42So when they finally do come, they kind of knock you on your ass.
25:46So...
25:48It's been complicated?
25:49You could say that?
25:51Yeah.
25:52But you're over it.
25:53I'm working on it.
25:55What about him?
25:57Are you over him?
25:58Who?
25:59Who?
26:04I am.
26:07Absolutely.
26:08And then some.
26:10So you're conflicted.
26:15Well, I mean the way I see it, is if we had known in advance how complicated our divorces
26:22we're going to be, emotionally, financially, logistically, we all probably just give up and
26:31still be in our lousy marriage and stuff.
26:34Then where would we be?
26:38Not here.
26:39Exactly.
26:40Well, given that we are here, I'm just wondering...
26:46what happens next?
27:12Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
27:16I'm sorry.
27:17No, it's okay.
27:18It's alright.
27:20You alright?
27:22I'm sorry, I just, I suddenly don't feel well.
27:24Oh, God. It's okay.
27:27This is, uh, something I did.
27:29I promise.
27:31I'm not blowing you up.
27:32Okay.
27:33I was very much with the program.
27:35Okay.
27:37Listen, hey, it's fine, it's fine.
27:38Why don't I take you home?
27:50I'm home!
27:53So if anybody's in a state of undress or making out,
27:58please take the appropriate measures now.
28:04Huh, baby?
28:07Here, Mom.
28:09Where's Morgan? I thought you were hanging out tonight.
28:12No, just me.
28:13Hi.
28:13They got into a fight.
28:15No, it wasn't a fight.
28:16Sounded like a fight.
28:19Well, that stinks.
28:20Thanks.
28:27Who can fight with this face?
28:29I think you might be slightly biased.
28:32Well, according to Morgan, I'm an asshole.
28:35I will cut her.
28:38How was your date?
28:39I was thinking about hanging it up.
28:41Yeah, me too.
28:43Perfect.
28:44You can live with me forever.
28:47Take care of me when I'm old and infirm.
28:50Okay, but I'm not going to change your diapers.
28:53Fair.
28:55Can't have a ton of cats.
28:57That'd be great.
29:19Nothing made you more aware of being alone than when you needed help getting your ass out of bed.
29:25My back was already feeling better, which is to say, it hurt like hell.
29:34As much as I wanted to blame it all on that beating I took last year, the ugly truth was
29:39that I had a bad back, and a shrinking bladder, and being middle-aged sucked.
30:13I'm not going to blame it all on that.
30:14I'm not going to blame it all on that.
30:25The new place is beautiful.
30:28Congratulations.
30:36A de-luxe apartment in the sky.
30:42I'm sorry?
30:44Uh, it's the Jeffersons?
30:48You remember? It was a television show from when it was...
30:51You know, never mind.
30:56Grace is worried about you.
30:58Well, there's nothing to worry about, so...
30:59We wouldn't be here if that were true.
31:02Well, anyone can have a bad year.
31:04Your business model is flawed.
31:07Your risk is not properly managed.
31:09You depend too much on too few clients.
31:12One of them has a bad year,
31:14and it hits your bottom line too hard.
31:16Respectfully.
31:17Um, the art of wealth management is choosing clients.
31:21Like stocks.
31:22You know, you make educated decisions
31:24based on a wide array of data points.
31:26For instance, Nick Brandis, one of my largest clients,
31:29he just signed a major broadcasting deal.
31:31And what happens if he leaves you?
31:33Or gets hit by a truck?
31:34Um, Mr. Park.
31:35You rely too much on other people making their money
31:37instead of you making your money yourself.
31:39I make my money...
31:42by providing a valuable and exclusive service.
31:47I have relationships across every financial sector.
31:51You don't work hard enough for what you have.
31:54Says the man who inherited his business from his father.
32:00And I have no sons to do the same.
32:03I thought it may be Grace.
32:05She doesn't want it.
32:05She wants it...
32:08for you.
32:11So you're, uh...
32:12you're offering me a job?
32:16Hmm...
32:18You don't even like me.
32:23That's true.
32:27Okay, Ben. I'll think about it.
32:35How's that back, Coop?
32:37Just getting there. Thank you.
32:39Mmm, I'm gonna send you to my man, Chemo.
32:41He did physio for me after my knee surgery.
32:44Dude's got magic hands.
32:46Well, I just got a Toradol shot,
32:48so that's doing the majority of heavy lifting right now.
32:50Yeah, that works, too.
32:52It does.
32:53I had a bulging disc a few years ago.
32:55You guys remember that?
32:57Oh, man.
32:57I went down the whole rabbit hole on that one.
33:01Acupuncture, stem cell therapy, you name it.
33:05I thought my golfing days were over.
33:07When we weren't talking about finance or sports,
33:10or the finance of sports,
33:11we devoted a lot of time
33:12to our growing laundry list of injuries.
33:14We were men of a certain age,
33:16all former jocks in some capacity,
33:18confronting the inevitable decline of our bodies
33:21through a combination of concierge doctors,
33:23cutting-edge pharmaceuticals,
33:25trainers, and talking it all to death.
33:27It was just another club we all belonged to.
33:30Hey, you guys came to butter this party
33:32up at the, uh, State on Bisbee?
33:34Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
33:35Who is this guy?
33:37Owen Ash.
33:39Hmm.
33:40Apparently he made a fortune on shipping.
33:42Paid asking on the house.
33:4320 million, all cash.
33:46Ooh.
33:48Here comes the neighborhood.
33:50He's throwing himself a welcome-to-town party.
33:53Sounds like a douche.
33:54I don't know.
33:56It's like The Great Gatsby or something.
33:58Could be fun.
33:59You know how that book ended, right?
34:04Well, I heard it was, uh, Sam Levitt
34:06who made the sale.
34:08Oh, yeah? Mm-hmm.
34:09Good for her.
34:10Good for her.
34:12She desecrated the corpse of her husband
34:14and framed you for murder.
34:16Did she? Who can remember?
34:18Well, she knew what she was doing
34:20when she sold Bisbee.
34:21She probably split, what,
34:24a million dollars in commission
34:26with a listing agent?
34:28God.
34:28She tries to send Coop away for life,
34:30now she's making six figures.
34:32That's America for you.
34:33Yeah.
34:33Yeah.
34:34I thought your guy was trying
34:36to make it great again.
34:37Oh!
34:40Hey, no politics at the club.
34:42Is that a rule now?
34:43No, he's stupid.
34:49We are witnessing a spectacular performance
34:53by the league's heir apparent, dare I say,
34:56LeBron and Steph who?
34:58Calm down, Granny.
34:59Please, calm down.
35:01Yeah, come on, man.
35:01Let's see him do what the King's been doing
35:03consistently for 20-plus years.
35:05No, I've never seen him do a soundboard shuffle.
35:07Okay, then how about, uh, play defense
35:09like my guy, Kalai?
35:10Oh, that's your guy now?
35:11Yeah, that's my guy.
35:12We're both Spurs legends.
35:14It's been to you watch sports.
35:16That's Nick's second week on air.
35:17I'm just checking in.
35:19Well, let's do the math on this thing.
35:21Don't forget to...
35:21No, you're not.
35:23No, I'm not.
35:58Um, something wrong?
36:01Nothing.
36:03I'll keep going what you're doing.
36:05Um...
36:07There's nothing really going on down there.
36:13Okay.
36:15Oh, Jesus.
36:18Okay, uh...
36:20It's okay, Barney.
36:24Hey.
36:25Hey, what is it?
36:26Talk to me.
36:27Do you need me to do something different?
36:29Yes, actually.
36:31I want you to not set up meetings with your father, okay?
36:34Keep seeing his smug, condescending face.
36:36It makes it really hard to have sex with his daughter.
36:38I-I was just trying to help.
36:40And since you asked, less pressure on the balls, okay?
36:44A little goes a long way down there.
36:48God damn it.
36:50I remember...
36:52I remember...
36:55Don't worry, worry.
36:57How could I ever forget?
37:01It was the first time...
37:05The last time that we ever met.
37:12Oh, and I know the reason why you kept this silence up, up, up.
37:21No, you don't fool me.
37:24Cause the hurt doesn't show.
37:27But the pain still grows.
37:30It's no stranger to you and me.
37:33I'd been feeling a little bit off.
37:36But then when he tried to, you know...
37:40Yeah?
37:40Get in there.
37:41That's what I knew.
37:43Oh.
37:44Menopause.
37:44Yeah.
37:46Oh.
37:49Hmm.
37:53Keep this in your purse.
37:56Especially if you're gonna keep hooking up with random guys in cars.
37:58I don't understand.
38:00Do you just carry anywhere with you?
38:02Um, yeah.
38:03You gotta be prepared.
38:05And on my meds, it's just...
38:06It makes it, like, drier than Death Valley down there.
38:10Um, as much as I'd like to hear more about that, I texted you because one of the music teachers
38:16from Mayfield got a touring gig and is leaving for the rest of the semester and they need
38:22a replacement.
38:23Oh, I'm not a teacher.
38:25Yeah, you're a professional musician, which is even better.
38:28Oh, I don't know.
38:30Because on my best day, it's like...
38:33You wouldn't necessarily call me Mayfield material.
38:36And that is not a bad thing.
38:37Cause, ew.
38:38You said you wanted more independence.
38:41Speaking as a therapist.
38:43An unemployed therapist.
38:44By choice.
38:45Really?
38:45I'm actually writing a book.
38:47Oh.
38:48What's it about?
38:49No, don't try to do that.
38:51We're talking about you and independence, which requires confidence.
38:55And confidence comes from activation.
38:58Mm.
38:59You've been doing so great.
39:01You're staying on your meds.
39:02You're...
39:02You're regulated.
39:04You're showing up to work.
39:06Don't you think you're ready for a new challenge?
39:09Besides, you're never gonna get your own place based on what they pay you here.
39:13Well, I thought I would just marry rich, you know?
39:15Like everyone else does.
39:17Yeah, that's a much better idea.
39:22Just do me a favor and don't mention the perimenopause thing to Coop.
39:26It's nothing to be ashamed of.
39:28Oh, I know.
39:30I just feel like...
39:31I'm getting older and he's just...
39:37getting better and better looking.
39:53Hey, Barney.
39:54It's Coop.
39:55Again.
39:56Thought maybe I'd run into you at the club.
39:59No dice.
39:59We call.
40:00We should probably talk.
40:02Yes, that sounds great.
40:05Yeah.
40:05And I just want to make sure you're aware that I have no formal teaching experience.
40:10Oh, you have?
40:11Oh, that's nice.
40:13Yeah, I play there four nights a week.
40:17Yeah.
40:17Great.
40:19Yes.
40:19I will be there.
40:21Okay.
40:22Bye.
40:25What was all that about?
40:27That was about me being a music teacher.
40:30Guitar lessons?
40:32No.
40:33They're looking for an interim teacher at Mayfield till the end of the year.
40:36Mayfield?
40:37You've never taught before.
40:38That's what I said.
40:39But Mel already went to the head of school and apparently she's seen me perform at the
40:43tap, so I got an interview.
40:48Wow, that's great.
40:49You look nice.
40:50Where are you going?
40:51Got a hot date?
40:52No.
40:53Party.
40:53Oh, anyone I know?
40:55No.
40:56In fact, no one I know.
40:57Do you want to come?
40:58Can I wear this?
40:59No.
40:59Then no.
41:01Are you sure?
41:01Yes.
41:02Hard pass.
41:03One of us is going to regret it.
41:05Well, probably you.
41:06No, it's probably going to be you.
41:07Well, no.
41:08It's going to be you.
41:09We'll see you.
41:09Bye.
41:10Bye.
41:12It's going to be you.
41:24Bye.
41:50Bye.
41:58Bye.
42:07Bye.
42:09Bye.
42:09Bye.
42:11Bye.
42:11Bye.
42:14Bye.
42:14Bye.
42:15Bye.
42:15Bye.
42:16Bye.
42:17Bye.
42:23Hi.
42:25Hi.
42:26Hi.
42:27Hi.
42:28So has anyone seen our host for the evening, dying to meet him?
42:31He's gonna be bald and ugly.
42:33Oh, you saw him?
42:34No, but he's gotta be compensating for something.
42:36Yeah, having too much money.
42:39Malice, Tori, heard from Princeton yet?
42:41Any day now.
42:42That must be so nerve-wracking.
42:44No idea.
42:46What about Chelsea, Jules?
42:48Uh, Chelsea went with early decision at Duke.
42:51Oh, it's not what Brad and I would've chosen,
42:53but they have a great tennis team,
42:54and it's what Chelsea won.
42:56Hmm.
42:57That's great.
42:58Wait, is that him?
42:59Yeah, lovely to meet you. Enjoy yourself.
43:00Yeah.
43:00Plenty of fun.
43:03Oh, hey, how's it going, man?
43:04That's him.
43:06You were right, Susie, he's really ugly.
43:09I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers.
43:12That's not what he'd be eating in my bed.
43:16I thought he was a very small dick.
43:18Absolutely.
43:20Ladies, welcome.
43:21Welcome, welcome, welcome.
43:22Owen Ash.
43:23My friends just call me Ash.
43:24Thank you for coming.
43:25Your house is stunning.
43:27Oh, thank you.
43:28It has to be.
43:29Compensate for my very small dick.
43:32Right?
43:34Did you hear that?
43:35Oops.
43:35I didn't.
43:36That was...
43:37Sorry.
43:39No worries.
43:48Uh-huh.
43:48Oh, okay.
43:49What's your name?
43:50Kat Rezman.
43:51Kat, very nice to meet you.
43:54Excuse me.
43:55Enjoy yourselves, please.
43:56I'm really looking forward to getting to know Ollie.
43:59Sam.
44:00You made it.
44:01This looks great.
44:02How did you do all this so fast?
44:04How did I do all this?
44:05I have a team.
44:06Of course you do.
44:07Come on, let's get you a drink.
44:09Oh, thanks, but I just wanted to stop by and congratulate you.
44:11I'm not staying.
44:13What?
44:14What do you mean you're not staying?
44:15Of course you're staying.
44:16You're my only friend in Westmont Village.
44:18You can't leave me here with all these people.
44:19Come on.
44:19These people will love you, but I just don't have it in me to deal with all the withering mean
44:25girl stares tonight.
44:28Oh, they don't love you.
44:31I've burned some bridges.
44:32Well, take it from someone who's elevated bridge burning to an art form.
44:37There's always another way across.
44:39Come on, Wondra.
44:39No.
44:40I'm gonna go.
44:41Are you sure?
44:42No.
44:47I'm so sorry.
45:04I'm sorry.
45:05Oh.
45:06Hi.
45:07Don't worry.
45:08I'm leaving.
45:11I wasn't worried.
45:13Imagine my relief.
45:24I'm sorry.
45:25I'm sorry.
45:30You haven't said anything about the meeting with my father.
45:33Man just cannot hide his disappointment.
45:37In you?
45:39In you.
45:40Marrying me.
45:41Oh, no.
45:43It's just his face.
45:46Did he get into any specifics?
45:50Why are you pushing this so hard?
45:53Reason.
45:54No reason.
45:55Um, but also, in completely unrelated news, I'm pregnant.
46:05You...
46:08Um, uh, are you sure?
46:11That's...
46:12Yeah.
46:13And it's mine, right?
46:15I...
46:17So...
46:19Does it, uh...
46:21Does it feel like a boy?
46:23There it is.
46:24What the fuck?
46:27Oh, get the fuck away from this bitch.
46:29I can't.
46:29I can't.
46:40I can't.
46:42Oh.
46:46Oh, God.
46:47Oh, God.
46:47Oh, God.
46:47Oh, God.
46:48Oh, God.
46:49Oh, God.
46:49Oh, God.
46:50Oh, God.
46:51Yeah, just a quick, quick, uh, question.
46:56Um, why didn't you tell me about this teaching thing at Mayfield?
47:02You're not a musician.
47:04Ally is not good with that kind of schedule.
47:06How do you know?
47:08She's been doing great, hasn't she?
47:09Yes, and I would like her to keep doing great.
47:12She's not a child, Coop.
47:14She's a 40-year-old woman who'd like to do something with her life.
47:17She's going to screw this up.
47:18Maybe.
47:19And maybe you have to let her.
47:22You should come to me first.
47:25Stop trying to parent her.
47:27Just be her brother.
47:29Thank you for that completely unsolicited piece of advice.
47:33Jesus.
47:35Okay.
47:36Wow.
47:36Oh, she seemed delightful.
47:38To everyone else but me.
47:41Owen Ashe, I presume.
47:42Oh, Ashe, please.
47:43Wow.
47:44Uh, nice to meet you.
47:45Andrew Cooper.
47:46Coop.
47:46Coop?
47:47Yeah, your reputation precedes you.
47:50Wow.
47:50Well, I suppose that's my cross to bear.
47:52Cross to bear?
47:54No.
47:54Hey, take it from me.
47:55It's those experiences, the ones that challenge you and threaten you and humiliate you, that
47:59ultimately make your life worth living.
48:01Otherwise, we don't medicate ourselves into bored oblivion until there's no reason to get
48:05catatonic acids out of bed anymore.
48:07Hey, you were arrested for murder.
48:09I mean, how many people can claim that?
48:10Most murderers.
48:12Right.
48:13So is there a Mrs. Ashe I should be saying thank you to?
48:16Uh, no.
48:18Ah, divorced.
48:20Widowed.
48:21Jesus.
48:22I'm so sorry.
48:23Oh, got it.
48:24It's been eight years and I miss her every day.
48:27I'll tell you something.
48:28That woman, she taught me how to live.
48:31Huh.
48:32Well, what is it you do for a living?
48:34I'm an import-export freight consolidation.
48:37What about you?
48:38I assume you're in some kind of finance.
48:40Yeah, I run a small family office.
48:43That's suitably big.
48:45Kind of like import-export.
48:48Hey, you're empty.
48:49We can't have that.
48:50Can we get two whiskeys here, please?
48:51Good stuff.
48:52Thank you, thank you.
49:04I've seen that look.
49:05You have?
49:06Oh, yeah.
49:06Oh, so you got one.
49:07Oh, yeah, I got one of those.
49:08Yeah, it's a tough one.
49:09At least it gets worse.
49:10Ah, something to look forward to.
49:16I'm going to let you geek out for a second.
49:18I used to love watching you play.
49:20Your form, listen, every line, every movement,
49:23your shot was a fucking thing of beauty.
49:25Oh, thanks, man.
49:25It was.
49:26I appreciate it.
49:27And I joined your gym, by the way.
49:28You got a great thing going on there.
49:29I love the vibe.
49:30It's a great package.
49:31Are you opening more?
49:32Or we just closed on the financing for two new locations.
49:35Two new locations?
49:36Mm-hmm.
49:37We've got to be thinking bigger than that.
49:39Look, if you don't mind me saying,
49:40you're having a moment right now.
49:42You're a beloved athlete.
49:43You're on television.
49:44I saw the new segment.
49:45Off-brand, this is fucking great.
49:46You're going to blow up.
49:47As for the gym, I mean, fuck the banks.
49:50You don't have to deal with those shitty covenants.
49:52I would invest in you, in your brand.
49:54We could be opening 40 strong-ass gyms by next year,
49:56get you up to $250 the year after that.
49:58Shit.
50:00What, am I going too fast?
50:01A little bit, yeah.
50:02Oh, okay, okay.
50:03I don't care anywhere.
50:04I get excited.
50:04You're going to have to stop.
50:05I'm here for it, though.
50:06I like you.
50:06Listen, listen, listen.
50:08I know how to do this.
50:09I have the resources.
50:10If you want to go national, just give me a call.
50:12I'd love to get involved.
50:13Hey, man, I'm always open to a new business opportunity.
50:16Oh, I know it.
50:17Go check out my bathrooms.
50:18I got 15 toilets in this place,
50:20and they're all your luxeful seats.
50:22Call every one of them.
50:23Hey, a man after my own heart.
50:25And that's great timing, actually,
50:26because nature's calling.
50:28Oh, oh, oh.
50:29Some more strong-ass gyms.
50:30Some more.
50:30Many more.
50:31More than two.
50:31Come on.
50:32Come on.
50:33Go big.
50:33I'm going big.
50:36We haven't officially met.
50:37Hey.
50:38Barney Choi.
50:39I manage Nick's money,
50:40as well as a handful of other high-net-worth people out here.
50:44Happy to help with anything you might need.
50:46Hey, great.
50:47Where's one-stop shopping around here?
50:48I love it.
50:49Barney, is it?
50:49Hmm?
50:50Yeah, well, give me a little time to get my bearings,
50:52and you and I should have dinner.
50:53I've been looking for some new opportunities.
50:55I'm your man.
50:55Hey!
51:26Absolutely not.
52:05You're ready.
52:08Go ahead.
52:10Go ahead.
52:11Go ahead.
52:12Go ahead.
52:16Oh yeah!
52:19Good!
52:19Good!
52:21Good!
52:26Oh god!
52:32I can't!
52:32I can't buy some food!
52:34I can't buy some food!
52:34Oh god!
52:45Hey, where's Lisa tonight?
52:46Oh, you know, she's, uh, taking selfies in Milan or Paris.
52:52Still?
52:53Yeah, it turns out Fashion Week is not actually a week.
52:57Your sweetheart, can you please get me another cocktail?
53:00Maybe it's time we called it a night.
53:02Gordy, can you get me another drink?
53:04Oh, I'm not getting involved.
53:06Thanks.
53:07I will get it myself?
53:08Yeah, Diane, come on.
53:09Okay.
53:10Let's get you home.
53:11No.
53:12No!
53:12Diane!
53:31There comes a moment in every soiree
53:33When it falls upon the host, you decide if the night has ended.
53:41Or if it's just beginning.
53:44Whoa!
53:46Whoa!
53:48Whoa!
53:48Whoa!
53:50Whoa!
53:51Everybody in!
53:52Yeah!
53:55Whoa!
53:56Whoa!
53:56Whoa!
53:58Whoa!
54:00Whoa!
54:03Whoa!
54:05Whoa!
54:06Whoa!
54:06Whoa!
54:08Whoa!
54:08Whoa!
54:08What is going on?
54:12I thought we were fighting.
54:13Huh?
54:14We're not fighting.
54:20Whoa!
54:21No, no, no, no.
54:25Oh, my God.
54:30Oh, my God.
54:37Oh, my God.
54:38Oh, my God.
54:42You're from one of the world.
54:44Oh, my God.
54:59You've been avoiding me.
55:03It was a lot to process.
55:06Yeah.
55:11Why didn't you take your job at Bailey Pack?
55:17The truth is, I don't really know.
55:22I accepted the offer, and I'm pretty sure I meant it when I said it.
55:28But something happened to me when I walked out of that building.
55:31I just thought that if I took that offer, then everything would go right back to the way it was.
55:37I would go right back to the way I was.
55:41And you didn't like the way it was?
55:43I thought I did.
55:47Turns out I didn't.
55:51Well, this all sounds very existential.
55:56I don't know if it's profound or you're just swallowing your own bullshit, but either way, I want in.
56:06What?
56:07Why?
56:09Because fuck my father-in-law.
56:13Uh, okay.
56:18Grace is breaking.
56:23Wow.
56:24Yeah.
56:27Congratulations.
56:36Barney getting involved was a terrible idea.
56:38But that night, as we sat in our drenched clothing, happily wasted on a stranger's top-shelf booze,
56:44watching our friends and neighbors party like they were living in an F. Scott Fitzgerald fever dream.
56:49For the first time in a while, the future seemed, well, promising.
56:54And maybe it was the painkillers mixing with the booze.
56:56Or maybe it was sheer stupidity.
56:58But in that moment, I was just drunk enough to believe it.
57:03Watch out.
57:05You might get what you're after.
57:08Cool babies.
57:10Strange but not a stranger.
57:13I'm an organic guy.
57:18Burning down the house.
57:22Hold tight.
57:24Wait till the party's over.
57:27Hold tight.
57:28We're here for nasty weather.
57:32There has got to be a way.
57:37Burning down the house.
57:40Here's a ticket back to back.
57:43Time for jumping over.
57:45Transportation is here.
57:49I don't know what you expect.
57:52Heading into the TV set.
57:55Lighting fire with fire.
57:58Ah!
57:59Ah!
