07x27 - A Change of Heart

[bunniefuu]

[theme music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

If you're gonna sleep, why don't you try it at home?

Oh, Mack.

You scared the life out of me.

[dramatic music playing]

Come on, you ready?

In a minute.

[dramatic music playing]

Remember Charlie Lee?

The groundskeeper?

He was supposed to come back today.

He couldn't.

I'm afraid he's been poisoned, like Eric.

And I know all those others must have been and more will be,

unless we find the source and clean everything up.

We will. Whatever it takes.

Government regulations

for the removal of toxic waste.

Aquifer contamination remedial procedures.

Are these as dry as they sound?

Well, they are dry.

They are tedious and difficult,

but most of all, they're just so distracting.

I mean, you try to make some sense of it,

and you're so busy concentrating...

that you forget the real subject, which is poison.

For God's sake, poison in the ground.

Poison in the water. Poison in people's bodies.

So, what are you going to tell me, Karen?

That you get so involved in the material

that you forget to get mad?

Yes.

Oh!

[sighs]

Oh, Mack, I want to be mad.

I don't want any more Ericks or Charlie Lees...

or anybody getting poisoned on this land.

[dramatic music playing]

[suspenseful music playing]

-Listen, I just want-- -Cathy, I--

-I got it at number seven. -No, get me in there so I...

You mean I got to start over here

-and send it all the way around? -Yes. Yes.

Oh, God, that's no fun. Anybody can do that.

Huh? Okay, now would I have to go like this?

-All the way up there? -Yes.

Mr. Dan. Mr. Dan, Mr. Dan, why don't you go upstairs

and get ready for bed and I'll be up in a second, okay?

-No. -No?

No, you want to take this with you?

-Yes. -Okay, you take it with you.

Come on, pal, you're going to take your briefcase?

Huh?

Take that. Can you carry all this?

How come everyone's going to the same place?

Yes, you can go to sleep with that. Here.

Yes. Here, take this.

-Take this. -This in one hand.

That in that hand.

-Oh, gosh. -Catch you later.

Go right through there and go up there.

Okay?

I want you to come up the door.

-No, I want you to come. -Oh, I'll be right there.

What a guy.

[scoffs] What a guy.

Here you are.

Say, let's take a trip.

-Sure. When? -Tomorrow.

With all that's going on in Lotus Point,

Empire Valley, I don't know.

I think that they can get along without us for a couple of days.

I'm going to check on Daniel.

I'll pick out a nice dress,

you never can tell who we might run into.

-Where are we going? -It's a surprise.

But it ain't going to be Rome.

[dramatic music playing]

-Hi. -Hi.

I'm sorry, I thought I told you

I was going to be home late.

You did, but I wanted to wait up.

-Was that okay? -Sure, fine.

Tired?

Oh, yeah.

Okay. Come here, sit down.

-Huh? -Sit down.

[groans, sighs]

Isn't there some way that somebody at work

could help you take some of this load off your shoulders?

If I could find somebody,

yeah, but that's one of the problems

with being the station manager.

You're the one that everybody comes to.

Well, that's true.

But everybody misses you here.

I mean, Betts misses you,

Bob says, "Where's Dada? Dada's not here anymore."

Even Mama misses you.

I know it may sound crazy, but we kind of like you here.

[dramatic music plays]

Kind of like having you around.

[chuckles]

Okay?

[dramatic music plays]

Gary, do you have a minute?

Sure, as long as we don't keep Mack

waiting too long.

Let me guess.

You want to sell me some land at Empire Valley?

[sighs]

I wish I could sell it to someone.

We're gonna need all the money we can get our hands on

to clean this mess up.

-We? -Yeah, you and me.

Well, I think it's just me.

I am still legally responsible for Empire Valley.

And I'm the guy that set off the big bang

that got all this pollution moving in the first place.

Once our divorce gets rolling,

I'm afraid the accountants are gonna tie up all our assets

just when we need the money the most.

So, if it's agreeable to you,

why don't we hold off for a while?

Slow down the divorce?

Just until we get the cleanup working.

-Then... -What's in it for you?

What's in it for me?

-Mm-hmm -Nothing.

[both sigh]

All right, I'm a little scared.

You, scared?

Well, in case you hadn't noticed,

I've had a few things to be scared about lately.

I made a bargain for some land

that turned out to be totally polluted.

I'm getting divorced.

Lotus Point is all I have.

I don't want to lose it.

I'll talk to the attorney.

Let's go hear what Mack has to say.

[Sylvia] How can I remember every little detail?

The exact day that Paul Galveston

asked me to marry him?

Oh, come on.

Nobody keeps records like that.

Mrs. Lean, don't worry.

Believe me, you're not expected to remember

an exact date after some 30-odd years.

Ma, if you don't remember,

say I don't remember. It's as simple as that.

Well, I... I... I don't think I'm gonna be able to do this.

Ma, just tell your story

the way you've told it all these years.

Well, what if I say something wrong

and then we'll screw up the whole case?

This is only a deposition.

Just answer yes or no if you can.

If you have to say more, you keep it short and sweet.

But you don't volunteer anything.

This is a fishing expedition for the other side.

So, the less you say, the less chance they'll have

of finding something wrong with your story.

We're not gonna get a dime. We should have settled.

Mother, Sumner was baiting us. He offered us peanuts.

Well, there's no one in God's green Earth

would consider $5 million peanuts.

We're gonna win. We're gonna win.

You've got a good, strong case.

You relax. Just tell the truth.

I'll take care of the rest.

Okay, look, I can have

a dozen backhoes here in less than an hour.

I mean, if the government's gonna take forever

to clean this up, let's just do it ourselves.

Yeah, that's a nice thought, Gary,

but they're not gonna let you do it alone.

They'll not let anyone mess with tons of toxic chemicals,

not even if you're willing to foot the bill.

Well, I'm certainly not going to pay for something

that Galveston Industries did.

Let Sumner pay to clean up this mess.

Yeah, Galveston Industries may have some liability.

-May? -Yeah.

But Gary has some liabilities also.

He's the current owner of Empire Valley.

Yeah, and I am the one that set off

those explosions on the ground.

And you might want to know

they may leave the chemicals there.

-What? -Any more good news?

They probably won't,

but it may be their safest alternative.

Safe, leaving those chemicals in our water?

I don't know what to tell you, Karen. Look it from their side.

They have the responsibility of taking care of everyone.

If they feel that by moving the chemicals

would pose a... a...

an unacceptable health hazard,

Every choice they've given us has been unacceptable.

Sue Sumner.

Yeah, he might cooperate.

What could you lose by talking to him?

Right, go ahead and talk to him, then sue him.

I've already called. They don't know where he is.

Well, maybe Laura knows where he is.

[Abby] Where is Laura, anyway?

[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

I just don't understand why,

you know, now, this moment.

You want me to straighten out my life?

I want to make an honest man out of myself.

You're divorced and legal.

Besides, I l... l... love you.

[both laugh]

Will you stop clowning around?

This is really serious.

Look, I'm serious. I do love you.

You want me to be a mover and a shaker?

Well, I think you ought to step up to bat

and keep me moving and shaking.

You want me to be serious about things? Well, I am.

I am serious about a... long relationship with you.

I love you, and I guess I failed

to tell you that I need you.

That's probably the strongest drive of all.

Say, did I fail to mention my winning smile?

Come on, let's go.

[soft music playing]

[Jill] I don't like it.

I don't like what we're doing,

and I especially don't like what I'm doing.

Jill, please take it easy.

Mother already has a case of the jitters.

We don't need another one.

These are not the jitters, Peter. I want out.

O-U-T. I don't care anymore.

I don't even care about Empire Valley.

Please calm down.

Once the pollution is cleaned up--

It has nothing to do with the pollution.

It has to do with Gary. I am tired of lying to him.

You want half of Galveston Industries ?

Fine with me. Have all of it for all I care.

-Very gracious of you. -But I want no part of it.

Jill, you'll always be a part of it.

Oh, no. Wrong, Peter.

Thanks.

You're in too deep. You can't get out.

No, I'm not, and, yes, I can.

-Jill, don't force me to-- -Hey, don't threaten me.

Don't you ever threaten me, brother dear.

I know too much.

See you later. Bye.

What was that all about?

-What are you doing here? -What am I doing here?

Gary, I don't like being spied on.

I'm not spying on you. I came to see you. I--

I can't talk right now. I'm sorry.

[suspenseful music playing]

Karen, there might be a solution in here.

It's a really simple procedure.

You just take all the contaminated water

and you put it in a large holding tank

or reservoir and you use a column of air--

You use a column of air to evaporate the pollutant

into the atmosphere.

Yeah, it's called air streaming.

It is called air pollution.

Well, according to this publication, it's still legal.

Legal or not, I wouldn't consider doing it, Abby.

Oh, Karen, for God's sake.

I am really sick and tired of your double standards.

If this procedure is good enough

for other people, why--

I don't care about other people.

It's just trading one kind of pollution for another.

-It's legal, Karen. -Homicide is also legal

-under certain circumstances. -Oh, I... Laura.

I see you're both making progress here, huh?

Where have you been anyway?

We've been trying to reach you all morning.

We need to talk to Greg.

Well, he's probably in his office by now.

Well, he wasn't there all day.

What did you want to talk to him about?

Paying for the cleanup.

-Helping with the cleanup. -Paying for the cleanup.

His company is responsible, Karen.

Laura, do you think he'll help?

Well, I'll do my best to see that he does.

I mean, after all, a wife should have some influence

on her husband, right?

[suspenseful music playing]

This morning, Vegas, married.

Well, I hope you'll be very happy.

Thanks.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

[suspenseful music playing]

Julie, where in the hell are yesterday's production reports?

Right here, where I always put them.

I knew that. What's this?

Some old publicity photos for Cathy.

I thought maybe you could use it for the tour.

Oh, all right. Good idea. Thank you.

Don't thank me. Just send me along on the tour with Cathy.

[suspenseful music playing]

We're also in the process of preparing a new will

for Mr. Sumner, one that will reflect

his new status as your husband.

So premature, don't you think?

I mean, we just got married this morning.

Well, actually, all this should have been accomplished

prior to the marriage ceremony.

But Mr. Sumner's precipitated action

necessitated a great deal of extra work

on the part of our legal staff.

Ahem. So, you're calling my marriage

a precipitate action, huh?

Oh, I was merely speaking as an attorney.

Naturally, we're all delighted

that you and Mr. Sumner are married,

and we wish you the best.

Gee, thanks.

-Here. -What's this?

Well, that's an agreement to place into a trust

to all voting rights in the corporation

that will accrue during the course of the marriage

with the corporation as a trustee.

Now, why would I want to do that?

Well, there are several reasons.

It's a way of keeping harmony in the marriage.

[laughing nervously]

You can guarantee

marital harmony with a contract?

My, my, my, my.

That was a joke, right? [laughing artificially]

You see, it will avoid any conflict.

Don't sign anything.

What are you trying to pull, Warrington?

I'm not trying to pull anything, Mr. Sumner.

I'm merely trying to protect the corporation,

as well as Mrs. Sumner.

Mrs. Sumner is my mother.

This woman prefers to be called Ms. Avery.

Did I do that right?

Well, we'll discuss that point later.

What you were trying to do was freeze her out

of any participation in the corporation's business,

and that makes me angry.

As my wife, Ms. Avery

is a full partner in the organization.

Is that understood?

Yes, Sir, that's understood.

-Good day, Mr. Warrington. -Good day, Mr. Sumner.

Mrs. Sumner... Ms. Avery.

[suspenseful music playing]

My hero.

[dramatic music playing]

If you want my opinion,

I think Gregory Sumner should pay the entire cost

of cleaning up that mess.

Well, Mama, I'm sure Gary feels responsible

that he inherited the problem along with the land.

Well, that's just being foolish.

Oh, didn't my roast turn out pretty?

Yeah, it looks delicious.

Well, I just happen to know how Gary is.

Well, there is such a thing as being too honorable.

[rattles]

-Cathy, are you all right? -Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry.

And that's more than I can say about...

That's more than I can say about Greg Sumner.

Mama, I don't think this is the time.

Cathy is gonna be leaving us soon,

and we want to make tonight extra special for her.

It is special. I made her my lettuce bread.

Look how long it took Mr. Gregory Sumner

to get around to marrying her.

Oh, Laura didn't even get divorced until just recently.

-And wasn't that a good reason? -You're terrible.

What's the matter, sweetie? You seem awful quiet tonight.

Well, I guess I'm just preoccupied.

I'm thinking about the tour.

You just got butterflies, that's all.

-Yeah, probably. -Do me a favor.

Run upstairs and tell Ben if he doesn't get down here

right now, we're gonna start without him.

Okay.

Oh, Val says that dinner's ready.

I'll lead the way.

[doors closes]

You know, Ben, I might be here

under false pretenses.

I'm sorry?

Well, instead of a farewell dinner,

maybe this should be a postponement dinner.

Postponement?

[Valene] Come on, you two! Dinner's getting cold!

Ben, I don't want to leave.

[tense music playing]

What are you telling the boys we're bailing

from the cul-de-sac?

I don't know.

I'm really chicken, you know.

I don't think they're gonna like it too much.

Want me to come with you?

Aw, that's sweet.

No, I think I better do it by myself.

Could do something for me, though.

What's that?

Well, kind of a wedding present.

What?

Clean up Empire Valley.

What do you mean?

Make a few phone calls, twist a couple arms?

Yeah. I mean, I think Galveston Industries

should take some responsibility

for that pollution.

That's some present.

You're talking major dollars here, woman.

Oh, come on, Ace.

You can afford it, and I'm worth it.

And besides, your father is responsible

for dumping that stuff there in the first place.

Married less than 24 hours,

and already you're trying to redefine my conscience.

You got it.

All right, I'll see what I can do.

In fact, I'll even donate the services

of one of our trucking firms to haul in potable water.

So that Lotus Point does not have to suspend operations.

-How's that? -That's great.

I'll make an upstanding citizen of you yet.

Well, you know what I promised that fella in Vegas.

For better or for worse, this is the better.

Well, so is this.

[giggling]

[insects chirping]

Oh, I take that back. The problem is with my manager

who keeps changing the schedule.

I thought it was all set.

Well, it was, but he wants to add a lot of one-nighters

-in between engagements. -Oh, one-nighters.

-That is death to a singer. -I know, Mama.

Tell him no.

You know, he's right, because it is your tour.

Yeah.

And then to top it off, you know,

I was supposed to open for this other band, right?

Now he wants me to open for some heavy-metal band.

-Oh. -Can you believe that?

Well, that's not your kind of music at all.

-I know. -Thank you.

The people that would come to see them

are not the same people that would come to see me.

Then why do it?

[sighs] He keeps saying how we're both gonna benefit

and he's got all this packaging talk.

I don't know.

I'm beginning to feel like a piece of merchandise.

Oh, God, that's gotta be awful.

You must be very disappointed.

I am. I really am.

But the good thing is that I'll be able to spend

a little more time with you guys.

Oh.

[breathing heavily]

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]

-Hello. -Oh.

Did I call at a bad time?

[Peter] No.

Well, all that heavy breathing...

Just evening calisthenics, Abby. Sorry.

Me too.

Have you spoken to your brother lately?

Hardly.

[Abby] Well, then you don't know that

Laura is your new sister-in-law.

Laura?

Well, what do you know?

Well, what I do know is that

this... this could affect your lawsuit.

[Peter] Now, let's not go to pieces here.

I have a feeling I can use this new marriage to our advantage.

[Abby] Well, you better use something.

I've been paying a lot of money out to lawyers lately,

and so far, I've got 51% of nothing.

It's gotta change.

Now, these things take time, Abby.

You certainly know how lawyers like to drag their feet.

Um, speaking of dragging your feet,

how's your relationship with Ms. Bennett?

She's not seeing Gary anymore.

[Peter] It's all over. Finished.

Really? Well, how did you manage that?

A gentleman never tells.

I'm glad to hear it. I'll talk to you soon, Peter.

Bye.

[screaming]

Hey, it's all right. It's all right.

Shh! Oh, honey, it's okay.

It's all right. It's just a dream.

I'm here, honey.

It's all right. It's all right.

Come on, turn on the light. Let me just turn on the light.

Come on.

Oh, what is it?

-It was Peebles. -Who?

My bear. My teddy bear, when I was little.

-They were tearing him apart. -Who?

Everybody.

I... I tried screaming,

so they would stop, but they couldn't hear me.

And Gary was on the couch, just watching.

He didn't do anything. He just watched.

[dramatic music playing]

I guess the dream was about the divorce.

Why do you say that?

Because this psychology textbook said that

that the dreams are about anxieties.

Are they teaching you psychology in the 10th grade?

No, no. It was Michael's book.

[dramatic music playing]

Why? What do you think?

-Do you believe that? -I don't know.

[dramatic music playing]

I... I think I'm gonna ask Gary what he thinks, okay?

-Okay. -Okay, Mom.

[sighing]

-I'm sorry. -It's all right.

You go back to sleep now, all right?

-Okay. -It's okay.

Come on. Go on.

-It's okay. You sleep, okay? -Yes.

-I love you. -Love you, Mom.

[crying]

-All right. Okay. -[crying]

[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[Daniel] We need to get on the bottom.

Try to get a number seven.

How come everyone's going to the same place?

How would you guys like to move?

Where?

Well, let's see.

-Where would you like to live? -Disneyland.

Disneyland! Disneyland!

That's not exactly what I had in mind.

Why do we have to move?

Well, we don't have to move. I...

You remember the guy that made you hot dogs for breakfast?

-Yes. -Yeah?

Well, he and I got married yesterday.

Aren't you gonna say anything?

Why'd you have to go and get married?

We were doing okay.

Honey, we're still gonna do okay.

It's just that I needed a husband

who was gonna be here with me, and not off...

God knows where.

And... and I wanted a father for you and Dan.

Well, what about Dad?

-It's been three years. -Why didn't you tell us?

Well, I am trying to tell you now.

You should have told us!

[suspenseful music playing]

[suspenseful music playing]

We know where it's coming from and where it's going to.

Why aren't you coming out here to clean it up?

[suspenseful music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

Damn you, Paul Galveston!

[dramatic music playing]

What, Karen?

Nothing.

[dramatic music playing]

-Everything. -Say it.

[dramatic music playing]

I look at this...

knowing what it could've been.

And I keep thinking...

"There goes my dream."

And it embarrasses me.

Why?

Because it's corny.

My dream. Never had a dream.

I've had opinions, causes, beliefs.

And the willingness to go the mad for them.

But never one focused vision.

Never anything as corny as a dream.

Until Lotus Point.

Until I...

started dreaming about a place

where families could come and...

get close again.

Away from the 11 o'clock news.

[dramatic music playing]

Until I realized how important

a place like that could be.

And now...

Okay.

We're gonna lick this thing.

I promise.

[dramatic music playing]

What's he up to in there, huh?

I believe he's on the phone to Washington.

-Twisting a few arms? -You could call it that.

He's been at it all morning.

We're talking about the Empire Valley cleanup.

-Right? -Yes.

You know, at first, we were a little concerned

about asking people to refrain from cleaning it out.

But those people are so expert

at the avoidance of work

that we really didn't have to say anything.

Miss Avery?

It's great. I'm telling you, it's great.

[tapping nails]

Yeah.

Listen, Ernie. Let me get back to you.

Something's come up.

You're not doing anything about the Empire Valley cleanup,

-are you? -Whoa, wait a second.

Let's start. What's the problem?

-You promised me you would help. -I've done what I could.

-That's an evasion. -No, it isn't. It's a fact.

I distinctly remember saying I'll do what I can.

So, I assumed you would do something.

I mean, that's what you led me to believe.

No, I didn't. You led yourself.

You heard what you wanted to hear.

What do I need? A memo confirming every conversation

you and I have? I mean, proving who said what?

Where's the trust here?

You can trust me to do what I say.

You may not like what I say, but it won't be a lie.

Except when it comes to Empire Valley.

Listen, if they'll let me, I'll clean up Empire Valley.

I want that in writing.

I will clean up Empire Valley.

You want it signed?

Bozo the Clown. [laughing].

Yippee! And it's Super Baby!

Away! Yeah!

[making playful noises]

Oh, I'm so sorry we had to leave Bobby at home

with that awful cold.

He loves coming here to play.

I love coming here too.

And besides, you should spend more time with your daughter.

-Alone, I mean. -I know. I know.

Just because they're twins

doesn't mean they're not individuals.

That's right.

That's right.

-How's work? -Work?

It's routine.

Well, you sure spend a lot of time there.

Routine takes time.

I don't know what I miss being out in the field

chasing down a news story.

You know, that's really what I like to do.

I sure hope you don't catch his cold.

Oh, I won't catch his cold.

Even if I do, it'll be a little teeny baby one.

Look at these.

Can you count? One, two, three.

Ben loves teaching him that one too.

-He's a good daddy. -Yeah, he is.

One of the things I like about my job, though,

is the fact that I can come home at night.

Some nights later than others, but at least I'm coming home

to Val and the babies and you and the family.

He's so natural with them. I love watching them together.

And it would take a lot of news stories

to make up for family.

Isn't that right, punk and bunny?

Well, Ben, maybe you need a little time for yourself.

-Doing what? -Well, I don't know.

You used to raise all kinds of plants out there

-at the beach house. -Oh, I did. I know.

But I don't miss that.

And I don't, I don't even miss having time alone.

I don't. I'm just on edge, you know?

Everything will be all right.

You know, maybe Ben could help you with your tour.

Listen to me.

I have been riding him

about how hard he's been working down at the station,

and here I am volunteering him for more work.

[suspenseful music playing]

My grades are up, even in chemistry, which I hate.

[laughing]. Yeah, I never liked that much either.

I've been to all my rehab sessions.

I'm very proud of you.

How about you and your mother?

We're getting along really well.

Great.

Oh, the horses.

Gary, I wish you'd spend more time back home.

The stable hands are good, but except for my horse.

The stock isn't getting a real good workout.

-Olivia-- -I was just saying...

-Olivia-- -All right.

I know.

You're getting a divorce.

You're gonna have to accept that sooner or later.

Well, I choose later.

[suspenseful music playing]

[tires screeching]

[dramatic music playing]

Listen, Cathy, I know what I'm talking about.

I've been there. You know what I'm saying?

These little dumps, they buy records just like the big ones.

Now, all we have to do is squeeze you

into a few of these little dumps.

We make money right up front and down the line.

-[knocking] -Who's that?

It's me.

Hey, Ben, what are you doing here?

Well, I just came by to see

if I could lend a hand.

Cathy, who is that?

This is my friend Ben Gibson.

Ben, this is... this is Dominick Carrazo.

-Hi, how you doing? -Are you a booking agent?

No, no, I run a cable TV station.

[snapping fingers] Oh, right, yeah.

That's the one where Cathy used to sing at, right?

Right.

You know anything about booking tours?

Afraid not.

Well, then, if you'd excuse me, fella,

I think you're in the way.

Dominick, lighten up.

Ben's just here to try and help.

Look, fella, you want to help,

then you tell her to stop being so hard-headed

and to listen to what I say

and to take the tour the way I lay it out, okay?

You tell her that.

Dominick.

Oh, God.

Beautiful guy.

What, does he run a charm school on the side?

Oh, tell me about it.

-Can I get you something? -No, thank you.

I came here to talk to you

about what happened the other night.

I am feeling a whole big bunch of guilt over what happened.

Oh, Ben, I wish you didn't feel that way.

[chuckles] Yeah. Yeah.

You shouldn't feel guilty.

I don't feel guilty.

I'm... I'm glad we spent the night together.

-Cathy. -Listen.

This isn't about anything or anybody but you and me.

It's just between us.

And I think it's time that you start thinking about you.

Hey, when is Ben Gibson

gonna feel some happiness, huh?

[suspenseful music playing]

I didn't think he'd show.

To tell you the truth, I'm desperate.

I'd go anywhere.

Or talk to anyone.

Did...

Did Laura tell you that I was willing to clean up

Empire Valley and Lotus Point?

No.

I would have thought she had.

Maybe she doesn't believe you.

You know, Laura might love you,

but she's not stupid.

Well, in any event, I'm going to have to clean it up.

When?

Or is that up to me?

I always forget not to underestimate you.

The way I see it, it's gonna take two and a half years

to clean up Empire Valley.

That is, if you have the full resources

of the EPA and the Superfund behind you.

I think you mean us, don't you?

Exactly.

Two and a half, maybe three years,

that's without litigation.

What kind of litigation?

Suits to determine responsibility,

jurisdiction, effectiveness.

This litigation could go on indefinitely.

I figure by the time it's all over,

Lotus Point will look like a ghost town.

I presume there's a plan B.

I put all the power of Galveston Industries

behind the cleanup.

Call in favors, buy influences, spend an unspeakable fortune.

And make the place perfect in four months.

I vote for plan B.

That's why we're gonna call it Karen's plan,

because you can make it happen.

Greg, stop playing games.

Why did you call me here? What do you want?

I want Empire Valley.

Your job, if you agree and accept it,

which you will, is to get it for me.

Of course, I'd like it at a reduced price,

let's say 50 cents on the dollar.

After all, the ground is contaminated,

but the price... the price is negotiable.

Why me? I'm just a part owner.

Well, you're the only owner that the others trust.

Gary, Val, Laura. I think even the twins trust you.

-What about Abby? -I'll take care of Abby.

Why would I do anything to help you win?

[tense music playing]

Get me Empire Valley,

or you can kiss Lotus Point goodbye.
