03x15 - Lost and Found
Posted: 04/25/22 08:50
you're leaving town
Just for one day.
I'm not moving away.
Why are you suddenly
running up to berkeley
I told you.There is
a residential facility
that provides housing
for cancer patients.
I'm going to take a tour,get some ideas.
I see.And this has
nothing to do with roger
- Roger who-
Roger--you know,
the one,the architect with the wife.
You know,nora,it's okay if you want
to be upset that you broke up with him.
I'm not upset about roger.
Well,you're upset about something,honey.
Okay,fine.
- You want to know where I'm going
- Yeah.
- To see ryan.
- Ryan
- Ryan lafferty
- He called me.
George told him william is his
father,his biological father.
I mean,george is his father.
George raised him.
But the point is,the kid's upset.
He needs someone to fill in the blanks.
He needs to talk to me.
What happened to all of your misgivings
He called me ten times and hung up before
he had the nerve to say anything to me.
- He's upset.
- Right.
So you're gonna go up
there and rescue him.
I really don't need
your sarcasm right now.
Well,I'm sorry,but I-I
just am trying to understand
what it is that you think you
can accomplish by going up there.
I don't know he needs
to talk to someone.
William isn't exactly available.
Yeah,but it's william's
mess that you're cleaning up.
Yes,I know.
And I didn't ask for it,but
ryan reached out to me.
I'm not going to ignore him.
You don't even know this boy,nora.
You don't know what he wants.
No,I don't know him,but I know
he's a sophomore at berkeley.
He's about to take his final exams.
He probably wants good grades and
a cute girlfriend or boyfriend.
- Aren't you the least bit curious
- No,I'm not.
I am.
I know.
I hope you know what you're doing.
Okay,you actually told kitty
you were running for governor
I didn't so much tell her
as agree when she guessed.
Okay,and she didn't say anything
She said she needed to think about it.
- What's that-
Th--um,oh.
Uh,washington standard
wants a quote about
the economic stimulus
package on californians.
What--what
did she do then
She went to bed,and she was
still asleep when I left.
I hope you told her I was under
strict orders not to say anything.
It didn't come up.This seems good.
Yeah,this seems good.
The whole kitty siation--
a ticking time b*mb.
Would you stop She's processing it.
And this is not some big revelation.
This is something that she
knows I've been wanting.
- She

Oh,oh,oh.
Spitballing campaign managers.
you know,if--if you need
ggy suestions,I have plenty.
Great,great.
Look,um,I know you and robert talked
about the whole governor thing.
I just wanted you to know that I
was under strict orders not to--
it's fine.I would have done the same
thing if I had been in your position.
- You're not here to yell at me
- No,no.
I'm here to get some video clips fr
red,white & blue off of my computer.
Well,actually,you know
what It's your computer now.
Oh,that's great.What for

barbara whitaker from the times.
Oh,well,listen.

for the deforestation of the planet.
Listen,if,um,she needs an interview,

Seriously,this isn't funny anymore.
I have no idea where you are.
Will you please just call me back
look,if you don't want to call,
just send me a text to
let me know you're okay
or at least what hemisphere you're in.
maybe your ringer's off.
You know,sometimes how you--
you accidentally disable it.
There's that--there's
that button on the side.
okay,look.We both said some things
that maybe we shouldn't have,
but you cannot just ignore me,rebecca.
I-I mean,we have to be able to talk
I am sorry.Mailbox full.

needed to get that.
It's rung a few times.
Oh,no.It's okay.

Oh,my god.I didn't mean to sleep in.
Don't worry about it.
It's for you anyway.
Uh,where are you off to
Uh,I have to go to this gallery
and,uh,hang a few prints.
Are you having a show
I'm part of one.
Just a few sh*ts on a wall.
WoW.Maybe I could come.
I c--it would take me three
minutes to get dressed.
No,no,no,no.I'm just
setting some things up.
It's--it's ptty
boring stuff.Sleep in.
Well,what gallery is it
Um,hadler & martin'S.
It's just down hudson a ways.
Look,I-I didn't know what your plans
were,so,uh,I left you some keys.
Now you can come and go as you please.
Thanks.
Um,maybe we could do dinner or something
Yeah.Yeah,that'd be great.
We can,uh,catch up then,you know
We'll do takeout if you want.
Yeah,great.
All right.I'll see you later.
Okay.
Excuse me.Uh,I'm looking

He's right over there.

Oh,sorry.
You can take any table.
Ryan
Yeah.

Nora walker.You called

What are you doing here
Well...

that what we discussed
- Is it
- Yeah.Remember you said you had your
--your political science--
your poli-sci paper
that you couldn't write,so
we taed about my coming up
Right.Yeah.
We,uh,we talked about that.
I'm--I'm sorry.I just didn't
know it was happening today.
I'm sorry.May-maybe
I-I misunderstood.
It's--it's okay.I'mt
a little shocked.Um...
ryan,if you don't want
to do this,it's fine.
No,no,no.I-I-I
do.
I don't want to intrude.
It's okay,really.
Thing is,I don't get
off until today,so...
well,that's okay.
I-I don't have anything else planned.
Okay.
Well,can I get you a
coffee,uh,or a latte or something
Oh,coffee--
black coffee.
hey.
Wh-what are you doing
lurking outside my door
Hi,um...
so kitty did that
interview this morning,
and the times sent
some of her quotes over,
and they were just wondering
if you'd care to comment.
You know the whole ticking
time b*mb thing I talked abou--
I mean,this isn't,you know...
it's--this is a cherry
b*mb in someone's locker.
Let me see it.
Um,I'm pretty sure
they're out of context.
I mean,you know,once
it's put into the profile,
it'll--it'll make
a lot more sense.
- I doubt it.
- I have crafted some responses,
you ow,the kind that we can
just spin into kitty being kitty.
Just k*ll it.
Ki--ki--uh,excuse
me
k*ll the story.
That's a little extreme.
Maybe you'd want to talk to kitty first.
After this meeting,I'll talk to kitty.
You take care of that.
Uh,re,it's on me.
I don't know if you like
apple fritters or not,but...
thank you.That's really nice of you.
Oh,and I found someone
to cover my shift,
so I should be done really soon.
Great,well,that's
fine.Just take your time.
Okay.
He brought me an apple fritter.
He makes apple fritters
No,he--he works here
at a coffeehouse.
He's putting himself through college.
I think that's very impressive.
Look,I'm gonna pick you
up tonight at the airport,
we'll have dinner,and then you'll
fill me in on everything,okay
I'm not coming home tonight.
What do you mean you're not
coming home What happened
We haven't even had a moment to
sit down and talk to each other.
I-was prepared forhis.
I-I got a room at
a bed-and-brethat
I knew it I knew you
would get entangled.
I'm not entangled.
You're not entangled
You just extended your trip,nora.
Saul...gotta go.
well,my replacement showed up.
- I'm done.
- Great.
- so...
- so...
I'm really sorry if I was
rude to you when you came in.
- That's all right.
- It's not every day you meet your...
whatever I am.
My father's widow.
Your biological father's widow.
Yes.
Yeah,um,my daughter
kitty is adopting a baby,
so we're all very aware that your real
parents are the ones who raise you.
ReallyBecause I'm feeling
kind of caught in the
middle of all that right now.
Yeah,I'll bet.
Ryan,um...
I hope this is all right.
I brought you some pictures I
thought maybe you'd like to look at.
Well...
now then that would make
it all real,wouldn't it
Yeah.
- So this is him.
- Yes.
That's william.
God.This is so weird.
He's--he's--he's sort of
exactly how I pictured him.
- Did you know about my mom
- No.I didn'T.
So how did you find out
that's a long story.
That's okay.
- Rebecca,hey.
- Hey,
I-I was just actually
walking down hudson,and,um,
I saw the sign,so I thought
I'd stop in and say hi,but...
unless you're busy,I can...
no,no,a-actually,uh,it's
perfect timing.
I cou--I could
use your help.
Oh,cool.
Yeah.Would you,um,would
you hold that up for me
Yeah,sure.
Thanks.
- Oh,wow,this is amazing.
- Oh,thanks.
- Is it yours
- Yeah.
I took that about a month ago.
- you can get that if you want.
- No,no,it's okay.
It's probably not important.
all right,thanks.
Great.Thank you.
oh,and,you know,I-I was in
such a daze this morning,
I'm sorry I forgot to say thanks
for letting me stay with you.
Well,you don't have to thank me.
You're,uh,you're my kid,right
Um,so,uh,what do you think of this one
Um,it's nice.
It's nice all right,got it.
But,I mean,still,we don't have,you know,
your average
father-daughter relationship.
No,we don'T.
I mean,I'm sure you didn't appreciate me
just showing up on your doorstep like that.
Well,I mean,I-I-I can't say you were
the first person I was expecting to see.
Thought I was an angry ex-lover
The thought did cross my mind.
Speaking of which,uh,how's your mom
What does she think about you being here
She doesn't know.
Ah.Got it.
No,but we've actually been
getting along great recently.
- Seriously.
- I believe you.
So,um...how's she doing
Does she still hate me
No,she doesn't hate you.
I mean,she knows that you left so I
could continue to pretend to be a walker.
But now,you know,they
all know that I'm not.
- Seriously
- Yeah.
- Since when
- Um,since shortly after you left.
So do you still see them,the walkers
well,that's a funny story.
Uh,well,justin and I,you
know,were f-friends,
and then found out we
weren't related,so,um...
you're dating justin
Wow.
I don't know if it's
a wow thing,but--
well,I-I-I didn't
see it coming.
is that,uh,is that who's been calling
Yeah,probably.
So,um,you're in new
york,what,to just see friends
Am I just the crash pad
Actually,I me to see you.
Is that okay to say
Is it,uh,is it okay to say
I mean,is it okay that
I'm here to see you
Yeah,of course it is.
Great.
Hey,rebecca,it's me again.
I would love to hear from
you and know that you're okay.
So,um,call me when you get the chance.
I love you.
Justin,did you guys have a fight
No,no.Um,look,that's
I'm not here to judge you.
I'm just trying to get
to the bottom of this.
Holly,I told you,I don't
know why she split,all right
Rebecca mentioned a girl named chelsea.
God.Chelsea is my
sponsee,and it's over now.
It's got nothing to do withhiS.
- Then what does
- I don't know!
Justin,you're her boyfriend.
She hasn't called you
Well,she's not calling you.
I mean,how-- how's
your relationship
- Good,actually.
- Oh,it isOh,that's great.
How's work
- What does that mean
- Nothing.
Justin,you're not telling me the truth.
You're calling me a liar now
Yeah,because I know that
you're hiding something.
That might work with
other people,but I--
wait,is that why you
came here,to blame me
Because I am not the cause
of rebecca's problems,okay
And I certainly did not drive her away!
- I hope not.
- You know,I'm sick of putting up with your crap.
Justin,you know,I don't really
care what you think about me.
This is about rebecca.
So why don't you call me
if you feel like helping
S time you thoughtrebecca
was william's kid
It all added up to that.
And this woman holly-- you didn't
find out about her until after he died
No,I knew something,not everything.
But you didn't say anything
I did once.
He td me all about it,prised to end it.
- I thought i was gullible.
- Yeah.
And you never knew
anything about my mother
No,nothing.
So how many were there
I mean,were there others
I don't know.
Maybe.I don't--I
don't know.
Yeah.You don't know much,do you
You know t onehing
I've been hanging on to
is this stupid hope that
whatever my mother did,
maybe it was worth it,he was worth it.
God.He sounds like a real rk.
Maybe that's not the right word.
Maybe pig is better.
Ryan...
there's nothing you can call him that
I haven't already called him myself.
But he was not all bad,I swear to you.
Oh,it's a lot to process.
It's just gonna take time.
All of my children reacted
exactly the same way.
- They got through it.
- I'm not one of your children.
No,I know,I know.
I don't need a mother.I
already have one.
And just because
she's dead,doesn't--
I know that,ry--
I didn't mean--
this has all been very informative,
and I really appreciate
you coming up here,
but I have a final
tomorrow,so I'm gonna go study.
Uh,okay
This one's great.
What freeway is this
Well,we call it a highway here.
It's actually the south.
I took that about A.M.
Uh,what were you doing
under a highway at A.M.
Well,I,actually,I was
coming back from a party.
- Oh,god.
- Yeah,it's,uh,this is the photograph that got me into the show.
Somebody from diaBeacon
saw it and,you know,
it just generated a little bit of buzz.
Oh,you've got buzz.
Yeah,a tempered buzz.
what about you
How are you doing
Oh,you know,actu-- I
guess I should answer.
Oh,you know what I'm
gonna go put these away.
Okay.
- hey.
- Where the hell are you
I'm visiting some friends.
- How are you doing
- Um,I don't know.
My--my girlfriend
disappears
to go visit a so-called friend
and won't return my calls.
How do you think I'm doing,rebecca
Li,where are you
I'm fine.You can stop worrying.
Okay,good.Well,maybe you
canget that message to your mom
so she doesn't pay me
any more nasty visits.
Wait,you talked to my mom
No.Actually,we didn't talk.
She just accused,as if this
whole thing is my fault.
Okay.But you didn't tell her anything,
right,about what I told you about tommy
What,about you hacking into
his computer withoutwi knong
No,I left that part out,rebecca.
You know what I can't do this right now.
I'm sorry.I'll talk to you later.
everything okay
Yeah,no,I mean,no one died,so...
that's good.
You know what I'm--I'm gonna
change this picture out.
Okay.
hey,tommy,have you heard from rebecca
Uh,no,I got a call in to her.
We're supposed to go over this
trade show brochure this morning.
So she didn't say anything
to you about going out of town
No,uh...
- did she
- I don't know.
I got this mysterious
text message from her
saying she was out of town for
a few days,staying with a friend.
I'm sure she's okay.
Well,I don't know what to think.
This is what she would always
do when she was younger.
She would drop off the face of the earth
whenever we had a fight or whenever
she and a boyfriend broke up.
She's not a kid anymore.
I'm sure there's some explanation.
I hope so.
Let me check her calendar.
There might be something there.
the republican party has lost its way...
- oh,robert,all I meant is it needs to be inclusive.
- It's not my party.Are you kidding me
And--and by the way,I'm not the
only one to have pointed that out.
Look.My husband doesn't
need an aphrodisiac.
He does just fine with women on his own.
Of all the things
that you could've said!
Do you know what that projects
Oh,is that what you're worut abo
You're worried about
what we're projecting
One of the reasons I
lost the nomination was
because of rumors that I kicked
my first wife to the curb.
I mean,is it that hard for you to try to
present this marriage
as even remotely stable
Yes.
Yes,robert,it is that hard.
You decided to run for governor
without even discussing it with me.
You didn't want to discuss it.
I told you about it,and you went to bed.
Oh,please,robert,you had already
made up your mind,and you know it.
So--so what is
this This is payback
- Oh,god. You know what You always do that.
- You don't get your way,
- so you air our dirty laundry to a journalist
- You know,you always try to take the moral high ground.
You're the one who said
that the most important
things in a marriage are
honesty and honesty,so be honest.
you're tryg to sabotage this.
Is that truly what you're worried about
You're worried about your candidacy
What about-- what
about what I said
What about how I feel about our marriage
You knew what you were getting into when you married me.
Okay,just because I happened to know that you were ambitious
doesn't mean that you're absolved from considering my point of view.
I consider your point of view.
I-I just don't always agree with it.
Right.Because you don't even know what it is.
My god,robert,just for-- for one second,
can't you just put yourself in my shoes
Then who would be in mine
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I guess I just felt like I really needed to get away from him.
Yeah,I feel that way a lot,trust me.
kevin,if you think that insulting robert is-- is gonna make me feel better,it...
you're right.
look,kit,the last thing I want to do is undermine your maiage.
Oh,come on,kev,this is not your fault.
I wish it were,because then I could just scream at you,and it would all be over,
but unfortunately,the problems in my marriage have nothing to do with you.
So this is more than just him running for governor
Yeah,it's-- it's a lot of things.
I mean,we're about to have a baby.
You know,we should be coming together.
We--we shou-- anyw,we're not.
We're-- we're doing the opposite.
Well,there's a lot of pressure on you guys right now.
Do you know that he thinks I'm sabotaging him
That's him being paranoid.
I don't know.Maybe I did say some things in that interview that I...
probably shouldn't have said,but...
you know,it's not like I did it on purpose,but...
I don't know.I guess things have to come out somewhere,right?
Right.So if you don't want him to run for governor,ask him to sit this one out.
I can'T.
Why not
Because he'll say no.
Well,I hope it beats takeout.
Yeah,by far.
I didn't mean for you to go to all this trouble.
No,no,are you kidding me. I mean,it's the least i could do.
You're putting me up.
So are you ever gonna tell me what exactly prompted this trip
I told you.I wanted to visit.
So you just woke up yesterday in L.A.
And,I don't know,I guess you were looking at a couple days off and...
(chuckles) you thought,I think it's time for me and my dad to start spending some time together,or what
Well,obviously,I think about you,you know,having a relationship with you.
I mean,no pressure.
I guess I just-- I wanted to hang out with you like we did today.
But you didn't start with an e-mail or a phone call.
You just--you just hopped on a plane.
I guess I should've called.
I'm just wondering if there's something going on back home that has to do with you being here.
I wanted to get to know my father.Isn't that enough?
I don't know.
You're not answering ur phone.
Your mom doesn't know you're here.
You know,it seems to me like you're bolting from someone.
Everythi is fine at home.I'm not bolting.
Well,you're talking to a professional here.
You know,I know it when I see it.
Why are you being like this
Because I feel like you're playing games with me,and,um,
I would really appreciate it if you would show me a little more respect than that.
You know,I left L.A.For you so you could have your mom and the walkers.
And,you know,you got what you wanted.
But now,after all this time,you suddenly drop back into my life,wh,
no pressure,just to hang out
I didn't think it would be such a problem.
I'm trying to figure you out,rebecca.
I mean,what is it that you want from me
Do you want me to be a dad
Do you want me to be a friend
-What is it that you want from me
-I don't know.
Nothing.
This was a mistake.I should never have come here.
Rebecca.
rebecca.
My m was right.You only care about yourself.
thanks for letting me just drop by.
No problem.Come on in.
I was surprised to get your phone call.
Can I get you a drink
No,I'm fine.
I don't want to take up any more of your time.
Oh,it's no--no problem.
But I know that you have looked over contracts like this a hundred times.
And I was hoping that maybe you could help explain something to me.
All right,but tell me,what exactly would I be looking at
Acquisition papers for a deal that's pending.
Recently,we acquired additional orchards up at ojai,about , acres.
Oh,that s-sounds like a smart move.
I hope so.
Okay,but now this is what concerns me.
Let's see,where is it
Where are you,exactly,with this deal
Oh,it's with the lawyers,in the process of being finalized.
So it says,notification of request for change shall be sent to omni,inc.
But our deal is with crawford.
So who's omni,inc.
Um,is that their accounting firm or--
well,off the top of my head,I would say that omni,inc.Is probably the D.B.A.For crawford.
I mean,I can't picture anybody buying apricots from omni,inc.,So it's probably--
yeah,okay,okay,but if that were the case...
Wouldn't that be on the front of the contract
Like ojai foods,which is the D.B.A of ojai industries,which is here,very clearly denoted.
See
Yeah,that's true.
You know what I'm--I'm sorry that I am bothering you.
I'm gonna take this to the legal department.
They can look it over in the morning.
No,no,h-holly,it's fine.No,come on.
Let me-- let me try and figure this o.I kn I can do it.
Okay.
Let's se.
omni,omni...
ah,here it is.
It's just a holding company for crawford.
Your business is totally with crawford.
I've seen many contracts just like this.
So as far as you're concerned,they're just corporate entity that you're doing business with.
-Just with crawford.
-Exactly.
This looks fine to me.Just fine.
Thank you.
-Thank you.
Sure,sure,pleasure.
-may I ask you something before you go?
-Yeah,sure.
An acquisition this size,and loans are very hard to get...
that's a good question.
We paid with shares-- tommy's and mine.
I see.
Thanks.
saul,what I'm asleep.
Ryan.
Ryan.
I'm sorry.I-I didn't know where else to go.
No,I-I'm glad you came.
I just--I just can't keep doing this,you know
-I'm--I'm trying to hold it all together and--and--
-it's okay,ryan.
-It's okay.
-No,it's not.
It's not okay.
Nothing is the way I thought it was.
She was my mom.
We were really close.
But now I feel like I-I didn't even know her.
She couldn't tell you this.
She wanted to protect you.
How do you know what she wanted
Because that's what wanted,too.
Really
Did you have an affair
No.
No.
But william and I were married for a very long time,
and even after he told me the affair was over,there were times wn I knew something wasn't right,
and I just looked the other way.
I-I didn't want my life to change or to lose the things that mattered to me,
so every time I got close to suspecting something,I just--
I just looked the other way.
I...I wanted to protect my family.
It sounds to me like you just wanted to protect yourself.
God.This was such a mistake.
Ryan,this is not just william's mess.
I was there the whole time
in some ways,I helped make it.
So I'm partly responsible for what you're going through right now.
And I'm so sorry.
Can I talk to you a sec
Yeah.What's up
I'm not gonna k*ll it.
You're not
I think it's a good piece for her.
I think she deserves it,and I think we can deal with whatever fallout might come from it.
And I think if what she said could damage your campaign,
I would talk to her and do something about it,
but this is about you and kitty.
If you want to k*ll the story,you're gonna have to do it yourself.
Okay.
Okay.
you forgot your scarf.
I'm a big girl.
You didn't have to come find me.
I could have let myself in.
Okay,so maybe the scarf was just a big ruse.
And I wanted to tell you that I was out of line back there.
Oh,don't worry about it.
I don't know why I expected anything more from you.
But,you know,I shouldn't single you out.
You think I'd be used to people not being there for me-- you know,
you,justin,every other man I've ever been involved with.
I just keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
And I was the original offender.
Why?No,you weren'T.
You didn't even know you had a daughter.
I've known for almost a year now.
I asked you to leave.We agreed.
I know,and I shouldn't have agreed.
But I mean,come on.Let's be honest.
You gave me an out,and I took it.
I let you go.
You know,I-I don't think it's fair for me to expect you tonight to just sit down over dinner
and--and share your problems with me.
I-I-I haven't earned that yet.
And I'm sorry.
Well,since you are here,can I tell you about this crazy theory
I have about tommy walker trying to drive my mom out of the business
I'm all ears.
What's--what's going on
What's so urgent
Well,holly was just at my house.
She was asking me questions about a contract with crawford orchards.
-What?
-I told you it was a bad deal,tommy,
-but you just went ahead and--
-no,enough with the I told you so.
What exactly did she ask you
She wanted to know about omni.
So is that what you did,tommy
You bought crawford with this holding company
What did you tell her
I downplayed it.
I told her that crawford and omni were basically the same thing.
And shwas satisfied with that
-Oh,yes.
-Okay,good.
Well,then there's--there's-- there's nothing to worry about.
The,uh,the al's almost done.
Tell me something,tommy.
Where did you get the money to buy this land
Because if you did something illegal--
dad had to borrow from the pension plan.
Sometimes you have to bend the rules.
No,you don'T.You don't,tommy.
Ojai belongso us.It is our family'S.
Dad didn't leave it to holly.
I'm just taking back what's rightfully ours.
We blew it.
Do you understand that I blew it.
The only reason ojai foods is around today is because of holly.
E got us out of a bind.
It doesn't make it her company.
Oh,yes,it does,tommy.Yes,it does.
That was the deal.
Uncle saul,I appreciate your advice.
I'm thankful that you covered for me.
But it is too late.
The deal's done.
Morning.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I didn't confide in you.
I think I was telling myself that I was waiting until the campaign was a certainty.
But I think the truth of it is,I...
Was scared you'd say no.
Because what you say means more to me than anybody.
Well,it doesn't always seem like that.
Look,if I have to choose between you and being the governor...
I'm choosing you.
Robert,I-I-I know that this is your moment.
And I want you to seize it.
But I have to be able to speak my mind.
I-I have to be able to write a book without worrying about
how it's going to affect what you'rtrying to accomplish.
It just--it just-- it has to be...
-okay
-it is okay.
It's more than okay.
And this campaign doesn't have to be like the last one.
You can do as much or as little as you want.
We will work around you.
And I don't want to make it harder for you.
And I really am sorry about the article.
I want this to work.
I am gonna do whatever I have to do.
ryan
I was thinking about what you said last night.
Can you not worry about last night,please
I was just having a really bad night,and it's not a big deal.
I want to help you.
I know you don't think I can,and maybe I can't--
I really can't talk about this right now,okay
Ryan,you have five brothers and sisters who all went through their own version of what you're going through right now.
So...
here.
-What's this?
-It's a plane ticket,an--an--an e-ticket.
I want you to come and meet them.
Come for a day or a weekend,whatever you want.
I think you'd like them.
You think they'd like me
Well,I don't know.
Why don't you give it a try
I can't believe you bought me a plane ticket.
You know,you're kind of a spontaneous person.
I didn't use to be.
Will you think about it
I don't know what to say.
Well,say you'll come.
Me this weekend.
well--well,I don't have to--to work tomorrow,and all my finals are do,except for one.
But that's not until next week.
Well,then come today.
Come today,ryan.come on.
My house is empty.It would be like having a library all to yourself.
All right.Okay.All right.All right.
Look,you know where I'm staying.
The cab is picking me up at : .
All you have to do is come by and hop in.
are you sure this is a good idea
Yes.Yes.
okay,but I-I have to finish up around here first.
All right,you do that.
Ryan,y-you're not all alone in this.
You'll see.
Great.
I moved up my flight.
I figured I'd go deal.
That's probably a good idea.
Yeah.
Thank you for listening last night.
It's my pleasure.
You know,I have a friend with a car.
I could probably drive you.
Oh,that's all right.The roads are bad.
I already asked howard to get me a cab downstairs.
Here.
oh,thank you.
If you need to talk,you'll call,right
Yeah,yeah,for sure.
But don't worry about it.
I'll figure it out and...
and you are so busy out here.
I'm sure the show's gonna be a huge hit.
From your lips.
I'll see you soon.
I hope so.
Oh,I almost forgot.
bye.
Bye.
-Mrs.Harper--
-holly.
I'm glad you've comto us now,and we would certainly be interested in helping you from here on out.
From here on out?
You were right to wonder about this omni corporation.
Um,while it is a legitimate holding company for crawford orchards,
and while the deal technically is sound,omni was formed just weeks ago.
Weeks ago?
By your partner,omas walker.
Tommy?
Now these are the articles of incorporation filed five weeks ago.
Holly,this deal between ojai foods and crawford orchards involves a transfer of shares.
Oh,my god.
When this transfer goes through...
the shares will go directly to tommy.
And he'll have majority ownership of ojai foods.
Yes.
He's gonna push me out.
We would like to get into this...
with your permission.
Judy,can I call you back
-Okay,thanks.Bye.
-No,no,no.Sorry.No,no,no,no.
Come on,I-I didn't want to interrupt.
Oh,not at all.
Um,how are you?Robert said you talked.
We did.
-And?
-And he listened.
U okay?
I mean,you know,it's--it's a start.
Look,the reason that I'm here is,I want to call barbara whitakerat the times,and I-I just want to-- I-I don't know.
I just want to try and take the sting out of some of my quotes or maybe sort of,
I don't know,beef up the context a little bit or...
wh-wh-what wrong
He didn't tell you,did he?
Tell me what?
There is no story.
He called ed timberman at the times.
Oh,my god.
Kit,I...
I don't know what to say.
He k*lled the story.
He said you'd come to some understanding,that,you know,
he should have talked to you more,but you were fine with him running.
-Kit--
-no,it's okay.
It's okay.It'S...
look,don't--don't go.
-Just stay and talk.
-No,he kev.Come on.
It's just a story,right
It's--it's no big deal.
mrs.Walker
There's a phone call for you.
Hello
Ryan,where are you?Are you close£¿
We really have to go.
You're not£¿
are you all right£¿
yeah,I hope so.
Okay.
Bye.
okay,so who's divorcing and who's hooking up this week
I--something about airports,you know,it makes me want to read trashy magazines,too.
What are you doing here
You didn't need to see me off.
Yeah,well,I didn't say what I wanted to say to you,
and I-I-I didn't realize it until after your cab left.
So you came here.
You didn't want to try calling my cell
I don't know.You don't-- you don't seem to answer it.
Look,um,I know what we agreed on a year ago,but clearly,
a lot of things have changed since then,and,uh,well,I know I have,so...
I don't want to keep making the same mistakes.
U're not.
I'm so happy that I came.
flight for los angeles is now boarding...
that's me.
All right.
So,um,I'm in section D.
So,uh,do you--do you want to tra
What
Are you kidding me
You don't have to do this.
I'm not looking for an out,rebecca,so
if,uh,it's okay with you,I'd--I'd like to get on that plane.
Yeah,it's okay with me.
Okay.
let's go.
Just for one day.
I'm not moving away.
Why are you suddenly
running up to berkeley
I told you.There is
a residential facility
that provides housing
for cancer patients.
I'm going to take a tour,get some ideas.
I see.And this has
nothing to do with roger
- Roger who-
Roger--you know,
the one,the architect with the wife.
You know,nora,it's okay if you want
to be upset that you broke up with him.
I'm not upset about roger.
Well,you're upset about something,honey.
Okay,fine.
- You want to know where I'm going
- Yeah.
- To see ryan.
- Ryan
- Ryan lafferty
- He called me.
George told him william is his
father,his biological father.
I mean,george is his father.
George raised him.
But the point is,the kid's upset.
He needs someone to fill in the blanks.
He needs to talk to me.
What happened to all of your misgivings
He called me ten times and hung up before
he had the nerve to say anything to me.
- He's upset.
- Right.
So you're gonna go up
there and rescue him.
I really don't need
your sarcasm right now.
Well,I'm sorry,but I-I
just am trying to understand
what it is that you think you
can accomplish by going up there.
I don't know he needs
to talk to someone.
William isn't exactly available.
Yeah,but it's william's
mess that you're cleaning up.
Yes,I know.
And I didn't ask for it,but
ryan reached out to me.
I'm not going to ignore him.
You don't even know this boy,nora.
You don't know what he wants.
No,I don't know him,but I know
he's a sophomore at berkeley.
He's about to take his final exams.
He probably wants good grades and
a cute girlfriend or boyfriend.
- Aren't you the least bit curious
- No,I'm not.
I am.
I know.
I hope you know what you're doing.
Okay,you actually told kitty
you were running for governor
I didn't so much tell her
as agree when she guessed.
Okay,and she didn't say anything
She said she needed to think about it.
- What's that-
Th--um,oh.
Uh,washington standard
wants a quote about
the economic stimulus
package on californians.
What--what
did she do then
She went to bed,and she was
still asleep when I left.
I hope you told her I was under
strict orders not to say anything.
It didn't come up.This seems good.
Yeah,this seems good.
The whole kitty siation--
a ticking time b*mb.
Would you stop She's processing it.
And this is not some big revelation.
This is something that she
knows I've been wanting.
- She

Oh,oh,oh.
Spitballing campaign managers.

ggy suestions,I have plenty.
Great,great.
Look,um,I know you and robert talked
about the whole governor thing.
I just wanted you to know that I
was under strict orders not to--
it's fine.I would have done the same
thing if I had been in your position.
- You're not here to yell at me
- No,no.
I'm here to get some video clips fr
red,white & blue off of my computer.
Well,actually,you know
what It's your computer now.
Oh,that's great.What for
I told you twice.
I have an interview with
barbara whitaker from the times.
Oh,well,listen.

for the deforestation of the planet.
Listen,if,um,she needs an interview,

a quote about how lucky I am.
And he is.
I-I mean,I am.
We all are
very--so,so lucky.
Right.Well,I'm gonna
go,'cause I'm gonna be late,

just send me a text to
let me know you're okay
or at least what hemisphere you're in.
maybe your ringer's off.
You know,sometimes how you--
you accidentally disable it.
There's that--there's
that button on the side.

that maybe we shouldn't have,
but you cannot just ignore me,rebecca.
I-I mean,we have to be able to talk
I am sorry.Mailbox full.

Don't worry about it.
It's for you anyway.

Uh,I have to go to this gallery
and,uh,hang a few prints.
Are you having a show
I'm part of one.
Just a few sh*ts on a wall.
WoW.Maybe I could come.

minutes to get dressed.

setting some things up.
It's--it's ptty
boring stuff.Sleep in.
Well,what gallery is it
Um,hadler & martin'S.

I'm sorry.May-maybe
I-I misunderstood.
It's--it's okay.I'mt
a little shocked.Um...
ryan,if you don't want
to do this,it's fine.
No,no,no.I-I-I

I don't want to intrude.
It's okay,really.
Thing is,I don't get

Okay.
Well,can I get you a
coffee,uh,or a latte or something
Oh,coffee--
black coffee.
hey.
Wh-what are you doing
lurking outside my door
Hi,um...
so kitty did that
interview this morning,
and the times sent
some of her quotes over,
and they were just wondering
if you'd care to comment.
You know the whole ticking
time b*mb thing I talked abou--
I mean,this isn't,you know...
it's--this is a cherry
b*mb in someone's locker.
Let me see it.
Um,I'm pretty sure
they're out of context.
I mean,you know,once
it's put into the profile,
it'll--it'll make
a lot more sense.
- I doubt it.
- I have crafted some responses,
you ow,the kind that we can
just spin into kitty being kitty.
Just k*ll it.
Ki--ki--uh,excuse
me
k*ll the story.
That's a little extreme.
Maybe you'd want to talk to kitty first.
After this meeting,I'll talk to kitty.
You take care of that.
Uh,re,it's on me.
I don't know if you like
apple fritters or not,but...
thank you.That's really nice of you.
Oh,and I found someone
to cover my shift,
so I should be done really soon.
Great,well,that's
fine.Just take your time.
Okay.
He brought me an apple fritter.
He makes apple fritters
No,he--he works here
at a coffeehouse.
He's putting himself through college.
I think that's very impressive.
Look,I'm gonna pick you
up tonight at the airport,
we'll have dinner,and then you'll
fill me in on everything,okay
I'm not coming home tonight.
What do you mean you're not
coming home What happened
We haven't even had a moment to
sit down and talk to each other.
I-was prepared forhis.
I-I got a room at
a bed-and-brethat
I knew it I knew you
would get entangled.
I'm not entangled.
You're not entangled
You just extended your trip,nora.
Saul...gotta go.
well,my replacement showed up.
- I'm done.
- Great.
- so...
- so...
I'm really sorry if I was
rude to you when you came in.
- That's all right.
- It's not every day you meet your...
whatever I am.
My father's widow.
Your biological father's widow.
Yes.
Yeah,um,my daughter
kitty is adopting a baby,
so we're all very aware that your real
parents are the ones who raise you.
ReallyBecause I'm feeling
kind of caught in the
middle of all that right now.
Yeah,I'll bet.
Ryan,um...
I hope this is all right.
I brought you some pictures I
thought maybe you'd like to look at.
Well...
now then that would make
it all real,wouldn't it
Yeah.
- So this is him.
- Yes.
That's william.
God.This is so weird.
He's--he's--he's sort of
exactly how I pictured him.
- Did you know about my mom
- No.I didn'T.
So how did you find out
that's a long story.
That's okay.
- Rebecca,hey.
- Hey,
I-I was just actually
walking down hudson,and,um,
I saw the sign,so I thought
I'd stop in and say hi,but...
unless you're busy,I can...
no,no,a-actually,uh,it's
perfect timing.
I cou--I could
use your help.
Oh,cool.
Yeah.Would you,um,would
you hold that up for me
Yeah,sure.
Thanks.
- Oh,wow,this is amazing.
- Oh,thanks.
- Is it yours
- Yeah.
I took that about a month ago.
- you can get that if you want.
- No,no,it's okay.
It's probably not important.
all right,thanks.
Great.Thank you.
oh,and,you know,I-I was in
such a daze this morning,
I'm sorry I forgot to say thanks
for letting me stay with you.
Well,you don't have to thank me.
You're,uh,you're my kid,right
Um,so,uh,what do you think of this one
Um,it's nice.
It's nice all right,got it.
But,I mean,still,we don't have,you know,
your average
father-daughter relationship.
No,we don'T.
I mean,I'm sure you didn't appreciate me
just showing up on your doorstep like that.
Well,I mean,I-I-I can't say you were
the first person I was expecting to see.
Thought I was an angry ex-lover
The thought did cross my mind.
Speaking of which,uh,how's your mom
What does she think about you being here
She doesn't know.
Ah.Got it.
No,but we've actually been
getting along great recently.
- Seriously.
- I believe you.
So,um...how's she doing
Does she still hate me
No,she doesn't hate you.
I mean,she knows that you left so I
could continue to pretend to be a walker.
But now,you know,they
all know that I'm not.
- Seriously
- Yeah.
- Since when
- Um,since shortly after you left.
So do you still see them,the walkers
well,that's a funny story.
Uh,well,justin and I,you
know,were f-friends,
and then found out we
weren't related,so,um...
you're dating justin
Wow.
I don't know if it's
a wow thing,but--
well,I-I-I didn't
see it coming.
is that,uh,is that who's been calling
Yeah,probably.
So,um,you're in new
york,what,to just see friends
Am I just the crash pad
Actually,I me to see you.
Is that okay to say
Is it,uh,is it okay to say
I mean,is it okay that
I'm here to see you
Yeah,of course it is.
Great.
Hey,rebecca,it's me again.
I would love to hear from
you and know that you're okay.
So,um,call me when you get the chance.
I love you.
Justin,did you guys have a fight
No,no.Um,look,that's
I'm not here to judge you.
I'm just trying to get
to the bottom of this.
Holly,I told you,I don't
know why she split,all right
Rebecca mentioned a girl named chelsea.
God.Chelsea is my
sponsee,and it's over now.
It's got nothing to do withhiS.
- Then what does
- I don't know!
Justin,you're her boyfriend.
She hasn't called you
Well,she's not calling you.
I mean,how-- how's
your relationship
- Good,actually.
- Oh,it isOh,that's great.
How's work
- What does that mean
- Nothing.
Justin,you're not telling me the truth.
You're calling me a liar now
Yeah,because I know that
you're hiding something.
That might work with
other people,but I--
wait,is that why you
came here,to blame me
Because I am not the cause
of rebecca's problems,okay
And I certainly did not drive her away!
- I hope not.
- You know,I'm sick of putting up with your crap.
Justin,you know,I don't really
care what you think about me.
This is about rebecca.
So why don't you call me
if you feel like helping
S time you thoughtrebecca
was william's kid
It all added up to that.
And this woman holly-- you didn't
find out about her until after he died
No,I knew something,not everything.
But you didn't say anything
I did once.
He td me all about it,prised to end it.
- I thought i was gullible.
- Yeah.
And you never knew
anything about my mother
No,nothing.
So how many were there
I mean,were there others
I don't know.
Maybe.I don't--I
don't know.
Yeah.You don't know much,do you
You know t onehing
I've been hanging on to
is this stupid hope that
whatever my mother did,
maybe it was worth it,he was worth it.
God.He sounds like a real rk.
Maybe that's not the right word.
Maybe pig is better.
Ryan...
there's nothing you can call him that
I haven't already called him myself.
But he was not all bad,I swear to you.
Oh,it's a lot to process.
It's just gonna take time.
All of my children reacted
exactly the same way.
- They got through it.
- I'm not one of your children.
No,I know,I know.
I don't need a mother.I
already have one.
And just because
she's dead,doesn't--
I know that,ry--
I didn't mean--
this has all been very informative,
and I really appreciate
you coming up here,
but I have a final
tomorrow,so I'm gonna go study.
Uh,okay
This one's great.
What freeway is this
Well,we call it a highway here.
It's actually the south.
I took that about A.M.
Uh,what were you doing
under a highway at A.M.
Well,I,actually,I was
coming back from a party.
- Oh,god.
- Yeah,it's,uh,this is the photograph that got me into the show.
Somebody from diaBeacon
saw it and,you know,
it just generated a little bit of buzz.
Oh,you've got buzz.
Yeah,a tempered buzz.
what about you
How are you doing
Oh,you know,actu-- I
guess I should answer.
Oh,you know what I'm
gonna go put these away.
Okay.
- hey.
- Where the hell are you
I'm visiting some friends.
- How are you doing
- Um,I don't know.
My--my girlfriend
disappears
to go visit a so-called friend
and won't return my calls.
How do you think I'm doing,rebecca
Li,where are you
I'm fine.You can stop worrying.
Okay,good.Well,maybe you
canget that message to your mom
so she doesn't pay me
any more nasty visits.
Wait,you talked to my mom
No.Actually,we didn't talk.
She just accused,as if this
whole thing is my fault.
Okay.But you didn't tell her anything,
right,about what I told you about tommy
What,about you hacking into
his computer withoutwi knong
No,I left that part out,rebecca.
You know what I can't do this right now.
I'm sorry.I'll talk to you later.
everything okay
Yeah,no,I mean,no one died,so...
that's good.
You know what I'm--I'm gonna
change this picture out.
Okay.
hey,tommy,have you heard from rebecca
Uh,no,I got a call in to her.
We're supposed to go over this
trade show brochure this morning.
So she didn't say anything
to you about going out of town
No,uh...
- did she
- I don't know.
I got this mysterious
text message from her
saying she was out of town for
a few days,staying with a friend.
I'm sure she's okay.
Well,I don't know what to think.
This is what she would always
do when she was younger.
She would drop off the face of the earth
whenever we had a fight or whenever
she and a boyfriend broke up.
She's not a kid anymore.
I'm sure there's some explanation.
I hope so.
Let me check her calendar.
There might be something there.
the republican party has lost its way...
- oh,robert,all I meant is it needs to be inclusive.
- It's not my party.Are you kidding me
And--and by the way,I'm not the
only one to have pointed that out.
Look.My husband doesn't
need an aphrodisiac.
He does just fine with women on his own.
Of all the things
that you could've said!
Do you know what that projects
Oh,is that what you're worut abo
You're worried about
what we're projecting
One of the reasons I
lost the nomination was
because of rumors that I kicked
my first wife to the curb.
I mean,is it that hard for you to try to
present this marriage
as even remotely stable
Yes.
Yes,robert,it is that hard.
You decided to run for governor
without even discussing it with me.
You didn't want to discuss it.
I told you about it,and you went to bed.
Oh,please,robert,you had already
made up your mind,and you know it.
So--so what is
this This is payback
- Oh,god. You know what You always do that.
- You don't get your way,
- so you air our dirty laundry to a journalist
- You know,you always try to take the moral high ground.
You're the one who said
that the most important
things in a marriage are
honesty and honesty,so be honest.
you're tryg to sabotage this.
Is that truly what you're worried about
You're worried about your candidacy
What about-- what
about what I said
What about how I feel about our marriage
You knew what you were getting into when you married me.
Okay,just because I happened to know that you were ambitious
doesn't mean that you're absolved from considering my point of view.
I consider your point of view.
I-I just don't always agree with it.
Right.Because you don't even know what it is.
My god,robert,just for-- for one second,
can't you just put yourself in my shoes
Then who would be in mine
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I guess I just felt like I really needed to get away from him.
Yeah,I feel that way a lot,trust me.
kevin,if you think that insulting robert is-- is gonna make me feel better,it...
you're right.
look,kit,the last thing I want to do is undermine your maiage.
Oh,come on,kev,this is not your fault.
I wish it were,because then I could just scream at you,and it would all be over,
but unfortunately,the problems in my marriage have nothing to do with you.
So this is more than just him running for governor
Yeah,it's-- it's a lot of things.
I mean,we're about to have a baby.
You know,we should be coming together.
We--we shou-- anyw,we're not.
We're-- we're doing the opposite.
Well,there's a lot of pressure on you guys right now.
Do you know that he thinks I'm sabotaging him
That's him being paranoid.
I don't know.Maybe I did say some things in that interview that I...
probably shouldn't have said,but...
you know,it's not like I did it on purpose,but...
I don't know.I guess things have to come out somewhere,right?
Right.So if you don't want him to run for governor,ask him to sit this one out.
I can'T.
Why not
Because he'll say no.
Well,I hope it beats takeout.
Yeah,by far.
I didn't mean for you to go to all this trouble.
No,no,are you kidding me. I mean,it's the least i could do.
You're putting me up.
So are you ever gonna tell me what exactly prompted this trip
I told you.I wanted to visit.
So you just woke up yesterday in L.A.
And,I don't know,I guess you were looking at a couple days off and...
(chuckles) you thought,I think it's time for me and my dad to start spending some time together,or what
Well,obviously,I think about you,you know,having a relationship with you.
I mean,no pressure.
I guess I just-- I wanted to hang out with you like we did today.
But you didn't start with an e-mail or a phone call.
You just--you just hopped on a plane.
I guess I should've called.
I'm just wondering if there's something going on back home that has to do with you being here.
I wanted to get to know my father.Isn't that enough?
I don't know.
You're not answering ur phone.
Your mom doesn't know you're here.
You know,it seems to me like you're bolting from someone.
Everythi is fine at home.I'm not bolting.
Well,you're talking to a professional here.
You know,I know it when I see it.
Why are you being like this
Because I feel like you're playing games with me,and,um,
I would really appreciate it if you would show me a little more respect than that.
You know,I left L.A.For you so you could have your mom and the walkers.
And,you know,you got what you wanted.
But now,after all this time,you suddenly drop back into my life,wh,
no pressure,just to hang out
I didn't think it would be such a problem.
I'm trying to figure you out,rebecca.
I mean,what is it that you want from me
Do you want me to be a dad
Do you want me to be a friend
-What is it that you want from me
-I don't know.
Nothing.
This was a mistake.I should never have come here.
Rebecca.
rebecca.
My m was right.You only care about yourself.
thanks for letting me just drop by.
No problem.Come on in.
I was surprised to get your phone call.
Can I get you a drink
No,I'm fine.
I don't want to take up any more of your time.
Oh,it's no--no problem.
But I know that you have looked over contracts like this a hundred times.
And I was hoping that maybe you could help explain something to me.
All right,but tell me,what exactly would I be looking at
Acquisition papers for a deal that's pending.
Recently,we acquired additional orchards up at ojai,about , acres.
Oh,that s-sounds like a smart move.
I hope so.
Okay,but now this is what concerns me.
Let's see,where is it
Where are you,exactly,with this deal
Oh,it's with the lawyers,in the process of being finalized.
So it says,notification of request for change shall be sent to omni,inc.
But our deal is with crawford.
So who's omni,inc.
Um,is that their accounting firm or--
well,off the top of my head,I would say that omni,inc.Is probably the D.B.A.For crawford.
I mean,I can't picture anybody buying apricots from omni,inc.,So it's probably--
yeah,okay,okay,but if that were the case...
Wouldn't that be on the front of the contract
Like ojai foods,which is the D.B.A of ojai industries,which is here,very clearly denoted.
See
Yeah,that's true.
You know what I'm--I'm sorry that I am bothering you.
I'm gonna take this to the legal department.
They can look it over in the morning.
No,no,h-holly,it's fine.No,come on.
Let me-- let me try and figure this o.I kn I can do it.
Okay.
Let's se.
omni,omni...
ah,here it is.
It's just a holding company for crawford.
Your business is totally with crawford.
I've seen many contracts just like this.
So as far as you're concerned,they're just corporate entity that you're doing business with.
-Just with crawford.
-Exactly.
This looks fine to me.Just fine.
Thank you.
-Thank you.
Sure,sure,pleasure.
-may I ask you something before you go?
-Yeah,sure.
An acquisition this size,and loans are very hard to get...
that's a good question.
We paid with shares-- tommy's and mine.
I see.
Thanks.
saul,what I'm asleep.
Ryan.
Ryan.
I'm sorry.I-I didn't know where else to go.
No,I-I'm glad you came.
I just--I just can't keep doing this,you know
-I'm--I'm trying to hold it all together and--and--
-it's okay,ryan.
-It's okay.
-No,it's not.
It's not okay.
Nothing is the way I thought it was.
She was my mom.
We were really close.
But now I feel like I-I didn't even know her.
She couldn't tell you this.
She wanted to protect you.
How do you know what she wanted
Because that's what wanted,too.
Really
Did you have an affair
No.
No.
But william and I were married for a very long time,
and even after he told me the affair was over,there were times wn I knew something wasn't right,
and I just looked the other way.
I-I didn't want my life to change or to lose the things that mattered to me,
so every time I got close to suspecting something,I just--
I just looked the other way.
I...I wanted to protect my family.
It sounds to me like you just wanted to protect yourself.
God.This was such a mistake.
Ryan,this is not just william's mess.
I was there the whole time
in some ways,I helped make it.
So I'm partly responsible for what you're going through right now.
And I'm so sorry.
Can I talk to you a sec
Yeah.What's up
I'm not gonna k*ll it.
You're not
I think it's a good piece for her.
I think she deserves it,and I think we can deal with whatever fallout might come from it.
And I think if what she said could damage your campaign,
I would talk to her and do something about it,
but this is about you and kitty.
If you want to k*ll the story,you're gonna have to do it yourself.
Okay.
Okay.
you forgot your scarf.
I'm a big girl.
You didn't have to come find me.
I could have let myself in.
Okay,so maybe the scarf was just a big ruse.
And I wanted to tell you that I was out of line back there.
Oh,don't worry about it.
I don't know why I expected anything more from you.
But,you know,I shouldn't single you out.
You think I'd be used to people not being there for me-- you know,
you,justin,every other man I've ever been involved with.
I just keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
And I was the original offender.
Why?No,you weren'T.
You didn't even know you had a daughter.
I've known for almost a year now.
I asked you to leave.We agreed.
I know,and I shouldn't have agreed.
But I mean,come on.Let's be honest.
You gave me an out,and I took it.
I let you go.
You know,I-I don't think it's fair for me to expect you tonight to just sit down over dinner
and--and share your problems with me.
I-I-I haven't earned that yet.
And I'm sorry.
Well,since you are here,can I tell you about this crazy theory
I have about tommy walker trying to drive my mom out of the business
I'm all ears.
What's--what's going on
What's so urgent
Well,holly was just at my house.
She was asking me questions about a contract with crawford orchards.
-What?
-I told you it was a bad deal,tommy,
-but you just went ahead and--
-no,enough with the I told you so.
What exactly did she ask you
She wanted to know about omni.
So is that what you did,tommy
You bought crawford with this holding company
What did you tell her
I downplayed it.
I told her that crawford and omni were basically the same thing.
And shwas satisfied with that
-Oh,yes.
-Okay,good.
Well,then there's--there's-- there's nothing to worry about.
The,uh,the al's almost done.
Tell me something,tommy.
Where did you get the money to buy this land
Because if you did something illegal--
dad had to borrow from the pension plan.
Sometimes you have to bend the rules.
No,you don'T.You don't,tommy.
Ojai belongso us.It is our family'S.
Dad didn't leave it to holly.
I'm just taking back what's rightfully ours.
We blew it.
Do you understand that I blew it.
The only reason ojai foods is around today is because of holly.
E got us out of a bind.
It doesn't make it her company.
Oh,yes,it does,tommy.Yes,it does.
That was the deal.
Uncle saul,I appreciate your advice.
I'm thankful that you covered for me.
But it is too late.
The deal's done.
Morning.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I didn't confide in you.
I think I was telling myself that I was waiting until the campaign was a certainty.
But I think the truth of it is,I...
Was scared you'd say no.
Because what you say means more to me than anybody.
Well,it doesn't always seem like that.
Look,if I have to choose between you and being the governor...
I'm choosing you.
Robert,I-I-I know that this is your moment.
And I want you to seize it.
But I have to be able to speak my mind.
I-I have to be able to write a book without worrying about
how it's going to affect what you'rtrying to accomplish.
It just--it just-- it has to be...
-okay
-it is okay.
It's more than okay.
And this campaign doesn't have to be like the last one.
You can do as much or as little as you want.
We will work around you.
And I don't want to make it harder for you.
And I really am sorry about the article.
I want this to work.
I am gonna do whatever I have to do.
ryan
I was thinking about what you said last night.
Can you not worry about last night,please
I was just having a really bad night,and it's not a big deal.
I want to help you.
I know you don't think I can,and maybe I can't--
I really can't talk about this right now,okay
Ryan,you have five brothers and sisters who all went through their own version of what you're going through right now.
So...
here.
-What's this?
-It's a plane ticket,an--an--an e-ticket.
I want you to come and meet them.
Come for a day or a weekend,whatever you want.
I think you'd like them.
You think they'd like me
Well,I don't know.
Why don't you give it a try
I can't believe you bought me a plane ticket.
You know,you're kind of a spontaneous person.
I didn't use to be.
Will you think about it
I don't know what to say.
Well,say you'll come.
Me this weekend.
well--well,I don't have to--to work tomorrow,and all my finals are do,except for one.
But that's not until next week.
Well,then come today.
Come today,ryan.come on.
My house is empty.It would be like having a library all to yourself.
All right.Okay.All right.All right.
Look,you know where I'm staying.
The cab is picking me up at : .
All you have to do is come by and hop in.
are you sure this is a good idea
Yes.Yes.
okay,but I-I have to finish up around here first.
All right,you do that.
Ryan,y-you're not all alone in this.
You'll see.
Great.
I moved up my flight.
I figured I'd go deal.
That's probably a good idea.
Yeah.
Thank you for listening last night.
It's my pleasure.
You know,I have a friend with a car.
I could probably drive you.
Oh,that's all right.The roads are bad.
I already asked howard to get me a cab downstairs.
Here.
oh,thank you.
If you need to talk,you'll call,right
Yeah,yeah,for sure.
But don't worry about it.
I'll figure it out and...
and you are so busy out here.
I'm sure the show's gonna be a huge hit.
From your lips.
I'll see you soon.
I hope so.
Oh,I almost forgot.
bye.
Bye.
-Mrs.Harper--
-holly.
I'm glad you've comto us now,and we would certainly be interested in helping you from here on out.
From here on out?
You were right to wonder about this omni corporation.
Um,while it is a legitimate holding company for crawford orchards,
and while the deal technically is sound,omni was formed just weeks ago.
Weeks ago?
By your partner,omas walker.
Tommy?
Now these are the articles of incorporation filed five weeks ago.
Holly,this deal between ojai foods and crawford orchards involves a transfer of shares.
Oh,my god.
When this transfer goes through...
the shares will go directly to tommy.
And he'll have majority ownership of ojai foods.
Yes.
He's gonna push me out.
We would like to get into this...
with your permission.
Judy,can I call you back
-Okay,thanks.Bye.
-No,no,no.Sorry.No,no,no,no.
Come on,I-I didn't want to interrupt.
Oh,not at all.
Um,how are you?Robert said you talked.
We did.
-And?
-And he listened.
U okay?
I mean,you know,it's--it's a start.
Look,the reason that I'm here is,I want to call barbara whitakerat the times,and I-I just want to-- I-I don't know.
I just want to try and take the sting out of some of my quotes or maybe sort of,
I don't know,beef up the context a little bit or...
wh-wh-what wrong
He didn't tell you,did he?
Tell me what?
There is no story.
He called ed timberman at the times.
Oh,my god.
Kit,I...
I don't know what to say.
He k*lled the story.
He said you'd come to some understanding,that,you know,
he should have talked to you more,but you were fine with him running.
-Kit--
-no,it's okay.
It's okay.It'S...
look,don't--don't go.
-Just stay and talk.
-No,he kev.Come on.
It's just a story,right
It's--it's no big deal.
mrs.Walker
There's a phone call for you.
Hello
Ryan,where are you?Are you close£¿
We really have to go.
You're not£¿
are you all right£¿
yeah,I hope so.
Okay.
Bye.
okay,so who's divorcing and who's hooking up this week
I--something about airports,you know,it makes me want to read trashy magazines,too.
What are you doing here
You didn't need to see me off.
Yeah,well,I didn't say what I wanted to say to you,
and I-I-I didn't realize it until after your cab left.
So you came here.
You didn't want to try calling my cell
I don't know.You don't-- you don't seem to answer it.
Look,um,I know what we agreed on a year ago,but clearly,
a lot of things have changed since then,and,uh,well,I know I have,so...
I don't want to keep making the same mistakes.
U're not.
I'm so happy that I came.
flight for los angeles is now boarding...
that's me.
All right.
So,um,I'm in section D.
So,uh,do you--do you want to tra
What
Are you kidding me
You don't have to do this.
I'm not looking for an out,rebecca,so
if,uh,it's okay with you,I'd--I'd like to get on that plane.
Yeah,it's okay with me.
Okay.
let's go.
