I'll put a rush on those lab results,
but my suspicion is that everything's fine.
Okay. Thank you Dr. Morgan, and thanks for seeing me.
[Morgan] All right. Take care, now.
- Hi. - Hi.
What happened to your vacation?
Eh, I'm leaving in 30 minutes.
Sorry for calling you in, Addison.
Another emergency?
Well, better now than after I leave.
Hmm, you know we have an after hours service
that will refer them to another doctor
so you can actually go on vacation.
Know, I know.
Oh, I have a sample on the back to send to the lab.
Would you mind?
I'll send it out. Rush on the results?
You knew me well.
Consider it done.
Hey, I'll take care of the rest
of the paperwork and insurance.
You get a move on.
You're the best.
Sorry again for calling you in and interrupting your plans.
Hmm, well, the only thing I have on my schedule today
is lunch with my brother.
- Well, enjoy that. - Thanks.
Oh, be sure the lab knows how to reach me.
I've got it. Have a good trip.
Thanks. Bye.
[bright music]
Okay.
Hi, it's Addison Burke calling for my brother.
Yeah, he's been ignoring my texts.
Could you remind him not to be late to lunch this time?
Thanks so much.
[upbeat music]
Hi, can you get these out before lunch?
It's tight, but-
Thank you. Thank you.
Is that for him?
Yep. Have fun.
[phone chiming] - All right, I will.
[whimsical music]
The sales managers are working their teams,
and are seeing results in repeat customer contracts.
New sales are holding steady, same as last year,
but next fiscal year's projections are coming in at 18%.
That's promising.
Not good enough.
Pete, did you crawl here?
Oh, sorry, there was just a lotta traffic, and I tried to-
Shh. The grownups are talking.
18% beats out last year in the chip sector.
And that was last year.
This year, we need to top that.
Honestly, how long have you worked here?
Justin, what do you have in mind?
I doubt you're really relying on the chip sector alone.
Katrina Sawyer, she's sitting on a patent
that can make the power division skyrocket.
How so?
A new battery design.
40% smaller, yet 25% more strength and life.
If we could do that,
that would increase sales astronomically.
Really? I'm so glad you pointed that out to me.
Why hasn't anyone moved on it?
It's not common knowledge.
Either she underestimates what she has or she's oblivious.
My money's on the second one.
She's on the chopping block, though.
From what I heard she's-
Gossip at that horrible coffee shop
you go to is not reliable.
What's the latest?
Um, Katrina's giving it her all,
but analysts are saying that the company is having problems.
I know what the analysts are saying.
Yeah, but she's taking a vacation,
which is ruffling some feathers,
considering the financial concerns.
Either she'll be replaced
or the company will sink further,
probably within 15 months.
Where is she?
I...
She usually vacations at the Hamptons,
Grand Cayman, or Maldives.
I will find out.
- Now. - Yep.
Uh, do you need anything else from me?
Any reservations for dinner tonight. Six people.
Got it.
Your suit's on the...
Okay.
Okay, what else?
Layla, hi.
Hi, it's Pete from Justin Ross's office.
Nope, nope, don't hang up, please.
Yeah, I was just curious,
I wanted to get something to Ms. Sawyer.
Is there an address that's best to send it to?
Your sister called me to remind you
about meeting her for lunch.
Uh-huh.
Right, yes.
No, yeah, I would need to get it to her immediately.
Yes. All right, call me back.
All right. Bye.
[upbeat music]
Hi, Addison. Thank you so much for grabbing lunch.
I'll add your half to the tab.
[chuckles] So what'd you get?
Oh, hey, have I mentioned recently
that you're the greatest sister on the planet?
All the time. Now, eat up.
Why'd you have the day off?
Well, Dr. Morgan's on vacation for a couple of weeks,
so the practice shuts down while he's gone.
I'll stop in every once in a while,
do paperwork and check on things, but other than that...
You're lucky.
I'm somehow expected to be on call 100% of the time,
come rain or shine, even when I'm sick.
Pete, I've told you a thousand times
you chose the wrong job.
What does the big, bad billionaire have you doing?
Oh, you know, the usual,
which is everything he deems is beneath him, which is,
oh, that's right, yeah, literally everything.
You could always go back and get your master's degree.
Oh, no, if I go back to school,
I'll have to start all over at this place.
Right now, I have Justin's ear.
Not really.
When he sees how hard I work,
I can apply for someplace better in the company.
You know, somewhere in the middle, like project management.
Oh yes, the middle, where we all aim to be.
No, and from there, I can work my way up, but
if I give up now, I...
I trust me, it's just a lot better and quicker this way.
[phone chimes]
I have to go.
You just got here.
I'm so sorry. Thank you.
I love these "let's catch up" meals we share.
[chuckles] How about Sunday dinner?
Are you offering to cook?
No.
Bye.
You look ridiculous on that thing!
See you soon! [Addison chuckles]
[phone chimes]
[suspenseful music]
Whoa! Whoa! [metal crunching]
[soft music]
Ow!
Let's stop by the pharmacy on the way to your apartment.
We'll get your prescription filled.
No, later. I have to go to work right now.
Oh, please.
No, I'm serious. Addison, I have to go to work right now.
Pete, you could've been much worse off.
You know that, right?
And besides, your leg's gonna start hurting
when whatever they gave you wears off.
It won't, and I'm fine.
Do you know how many angry texts
I'm getting from my boss right now?
He's waiting for me.
Then tell him what happened.
He won't care.
All the more reason to go home.
Addison, you do not know this man like I do, okay?
After all you've told me, I kind of feel like I do.
Okay, fine, then you know
I have to show him this to believe me.
[sighs] All right, let's go.
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, I completely, I completely, I completely understand.
Yes, no, I was just wondering,
could I get the address, though?
No, no, no, no, I totally get it.
Yes, it's international, she's on vacation.
That's all fine and well.
I just, I wanna send her something,
and if she doesn't wanna look at it,
then that's her decision.
[Addison] Ow!
Yeah, no, I'm here, I'm still here. Uh-huh.
Thank you, yes. Good.
No, fantastic, that is great. Thank you.
Is there any way you could text it to me?
My hands are kinda full right now.
Graceful.
Okay, and how long is she gonna be there for?
Great. Thank you so much.
You know what? I owe you dinner.
Seriously, Thank you so much. All right, bye.
- What's with all the noise? - Ah, nothing.
No, not nothing. Will you sit down already?
What'd you find out about Katrina?
I've been waiting for hours. Hours.
I got all the info on her under the guise
of sending her a message, okay?
She's not in one of her usual spots.
This time it's St. Martin.
Really?
When?
Uh, she left today.
I think she's gonna be there a couple of weeks.
Call the property manager of my house there.
Get everything ready for my arrival.
You got it? When do you want to, um...
Tomorrow morning. Move around my schedule, make it work.
You got it. I will call your jet.
[objects clattering] Oh. Ow.
Can you travel with that mess?
Oh, yeah, it's fine.
- No. - Yes.
It's just a scratch.
You can't travel and work hobbling around like that.
Call, um, Duncan. He'll go with me.
No. Sorry, sir, I promise I can, I can do it.
Hi. Would you let Duncan know I'd like to see him?
- Sure. - Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Is Duncan the-
Oh, the manipulative, lazy goon,
who's been after my job for years, nipping at my heels?
Yeah, he's always kissing up to Justin.
I'm sorry.
I have to go on this trip.
You can't.
Why not?
You need rest.
Your leg can't even be cast
for a few more days at the earliest.
And I can just see you hobbling
over sandy beaches on crutches,
trying to get Ross the Boss there his sunglasses.
You'll make it worse, and you'll end up needing surgery.
And don't think that I can get you a discount
just because I work for a doctor.
Okay, I do think you're over-exaggerating.
Pete, maybe this is a sign to take a break.
No, this is the cutthroat world of Justin Ross, okay?
You don't get it. If I don't go, he's just gonna replace me.
He can't do that.
He can, and he will.
Everything I've worked for, gone.
But if I can just get through this, it'll be fine.
Everything will be fine. I can't give up now.
And you'll just magically heal by tomorrow?
No, no, but if I could just find another solution.
Oh, come on, think, Pete, think.
Too bad you can't clone yourself.
[Pete chuckles]
No, but I could use a better version of myself.
What?
Never mind on Duncan.
- Oh, okay. - Thank you.
Follow me. Whatever happens, just roll with it.
No, it won't raise any antitrust or monopoly flags.
Okay. Get back to me when you've vetted it fully.
Don't tell me. Duncan is in crutches, too?
No, but Duncan is just gonna let you down.
It looks like you're gonna fall down.
Look, I can come and base out of the house on the island.
That way, I can still get you whatever you need.
I need someone who can go and do what I need.
I agree. I agree 100%.
Which is why my sister, Addison, will be coming with us.
- What? - What?
She's super organized.
She runs everything in this massively busy
medical practice she works at.
She can go where I cannot.
That's a ridiculous idea.
Yeah, what he said.
If Duncan goes, he's just gonna pretend to work,
and then leave you hanging at the worst possible second.
Sir, you're following Katrina Sawyer
to convince her to sell, right?
Do you really want a bumbling assistant
following you around?
Well, I've gotten used to it as it is.
[chuckles] Look, she's good, all right? She can do this.
She's better than me.
Pete.
So you're saying I should fire you and hire her?
No, I actually think her doctor
would fight you pretty hard on that.
But fortunately for us,
she has the next couple of weeks off.
Look, you get her skills, my brains,
nothing falls through the cracks.
I've never seen you this-
Emphatic?
No, desperate. It doesn't suit you.
Are you really better than your brother?
[tense music]
I guess.
We leave tomorrow. Now, get back to work.
- Come on. - Oh, Pete,
if this ends up in disaster,
Allison here has nothing to lose.
Addison.
You, however, do.
You got it.
I can't believe you.
Hey, we can do this.
And what about your leg? You'll need to get a cast.
It's a standard broken leg, all right?
I'll just find someone in St. Martin to do it.
How hard can it be?
And what about him?
You've been complaining about Justin Ross
ever since you started working here,
and now you're trying to rope me into working for him, too.
Just, for the trip, okay?
Look, it can't be any harder than you
running Dr. Morgan's office.
Yes, it is.
Not at the core of it.
Look, you do what he asks, I take care of everything else.
We'll be fine.
He's conceited and rude and-
And you've dealt with difficult patients before,
and families complaining about how long
the wait time is for appointments,
and billing, and everything else.
How hard can it be?
Addison, please. My job relies on you.
No pressure.
Thank you.
You're the best.
Oh, this is gonna be a disaster.
Can you grab my...
I got it.
[bright music]
Did you take your pain meds today?
Uh, yeah. Yes, I did.
Well, do you need a pillow for your foot?
It's fine.
Yes, see, he's fine. Now shush.
It was a bestseller for 10 weeks.
[clears throat] That's, that's good.
Take it. You should read it.
Sure you could stand to learn something.
Is it a memoir or your business philosophy?
A little bit of both.
Huh.
Is it any good?
Just asking.
[bright music]
Are you kidding me?
Wow.
This isn't a vacation.
I know.
Yeah, could you tone it down? You're embarrassing me.
Sorry.
Welcome, Monsieur Justin. Everything is ready for you.
The fridge is fully stocked.
Good.
Would you be going out again this evening?
I'll drive myself if I do. Leave the keys.
Take my bags to my room.
After that, I won't be needing anything else for a while.
I'll have one of my assistants call if I do.
Of course, monsieur.
Okay, take a look around,
get familiar with where everything is,
and figure out something for dinner.
I wanna eat at seven.
Yeah, okay.
Uh, where should I-
[Justin] Pick a room.
How's this?
Hey, this is great.
Anything you need?
No, no. I just need to get off my foot for a few minutes.
Oh, hey, um,
please don't let Justin see me like this.
Got it.
I'm going to go put away my things, okay?
[soft music]
[Justin] What are you doing?
Uh...
I was...
[whimsical music]
This is your room, isn't it?
Yes.
Sorry. I was just picking a spot, like you said.
Wrong spot.
Uh, yeah.
While you're here, though, unpack my bags.
Closet's right there.
So it begins.
[bright music]
Did you just wake up?
I didn't even mean to fall asleep.
He didn't call for me, right?
No.
He did ask me to unpack his bags.
Oh. I'm sorry.
Are you the maid for him when you travel, too?
Uh, no. No, not really.
What about the cook?
I usually just order something with the company card.
Well, now you tell me.
I mean, look, get used to some lowly stuff.
The amount of drinks I got for him for the first few months
made me think I was just like,
I don't know, like his personal waiter or something.
Well, I'd be fine with this
if he showed some appreciation.
Yeah, yeah, he just, he doesn't really do that.
Typical.
Did you ever read his book?
Um, I actually assumed
it was required reading when I got the job
because he hands out to all his employees.
Uh. So sad.
Look, I know it's tough, but it'll get better, right?
You've been working for him for how long now?
So you tell me, has it gotten any better?
Point taken.
[water splashing]
Excuse me, Justin!
Uh, Mr. Ross.
Your dinner is ready.
Where would you like to eat it?
Inside is fine, as is Justin.
[tense, whimsical music]
This will do.
Oh, you can go.
[whimsical music]
Uh, do you need anything else?
Hmm-mm.
Enjoy.
Look, you're just gonna have to get used to the idea
that he doesn't see us as equals.
I can't believe you believe that.
I mean, money or not, that's no excuse to behave that way.
This is a totally different world than we live in.
Dr. Morgan never is like that.
That's because Dr. Morgan is a decent human being,
and Justin Ross is...
So what do we do tomorrow?
He has a full day of meetings and calls.
I can take care of whatever he needs for that.
It's anything that requires walking
that I might not be able to do.
Well, if I can get away during the day,
I'm gonna find a doctor
and make an appointment for you to get your cast.
No, I can call around and handle that.
You're on the clock,
so he's gonna expect you to be available.
On the clock? Am I even getting paid?
Don't count on it.
I'll get you a better Christmas present this year.
- Mm-hmm. - Hmm?
[bright music]
[Addison scoffs]
I need the revised sales projections
from each sector of the company.
The managers will say they need more time,
but too bad, I want 'em now.
You got it.
I also want you to stay up on all the gossip
about Katrina Sawyer.
What the employees over there are saying, too.
Okay, yeah. I'm already on that, actually.
You'll need to set up a way for me to meet with her.
Or maybe that'll be where you prove useful.
Okay. Do you want her to come here?
No, that won't work. It's gotta be casual, natural.
What do you mean?
She's not a fan. Some hurt feelings from a few years ago.
So figure out a way for us to run into each other.
So you came all the way here for a meeting
with someone who doesn't like you?
Good news is, I already have the address
of where she's staying.
Do I go knock on the door?
Well, I don't know how coincidental that would be,
but we'll think of something.
Get to it. Both of you.
You got it.
Oh, wait.
[bright music]
Is it here?
Excuse me.
Yes. How can I help you?
Um, I think I have the right place,
but I thought it'd be a hotel.
What's the address?
I think it's here.
It's supposed to be called the Crystal Haven.
Hmm. Crystal Haven.
No, I don't think that...
You know, actually.
Yeah, yeah, it's a yacht.
Oh, it is?
Yeah. Coming in tomorrow.
Huh. Thanks.
Uh-huh.
[bright music]
Good. You're back.
We got a tee time. Let's go.
Uh, I don't, I don't golf.
I'm golfing, not you.
Is Pete coming?
Think that question through.
I'll be in the car.
Here you go.
- He's late. - Who?
Lamar Nichols.
Is he a friend here?
No, he wants to do business with me, so he is flying in.
Just to meet with you?
Yeah.
People do that?
I don't think you understand who I am.
Justin.
Sorry, my flight was late.
That's all right. Good to see you.
Let's get going, shall we?
Uh, where do you want me to-
Keep up.
[bright music]
Not my day.
The trick in golf and business
is to keep your eye on the ball.
I'll remember that. Thanks for the game and for the time.
Sure. Safe trip home.
Could've beaten him with my eyes closed.
Yeah, I think he realized that, too.
Have you ever heard of winning gracefully?
If he had something I was interested in,
I would've let him win.
But it was a waste of time.
Might as well get some satisfaction out of it.
Where do we stand with Katrina?
Oh, um,
does she own a yacht?
I imagine so.
Well, the address is to the marina,
and she's scheduled to arrive there tomorrow.
Your brother said she would already be here.
Boats take longer.
He shoulda known.
He's not psychic.
Well, that's too bad. It would make him useful for once.
Don't insult him.
What was that?
I'm just saying, there's no need to put him down.
[soft music]
[sighs] Great.
Oh, I like mine scrambled.
These are mine.
I'm surprised you don't have a cook.
When I have guests, I do.
If it's just me, I like things quiet.
You ever cook for yourself?
Not if I can help it. That's where you come in.
Did you enjoy your reading?
Your book?
Yeah, it was great for putting me to sleep.
I'm gonna go by the marina today, see about Katrina Sawyer.
Anything you need me to do while I'm out?
No, but I want a meeting with her
by the end of day tomorrow.
I'll see what I can do.
[bright music]
[Annie] I'm glad I'm off the boat.
[Katrina] You haven't gotten your sea legs yet.
[Annie] Like a pirate.
A little bit of exploring will help.
Can we do something fun?
Katrina, what time do you want dinner
tonight at Indigo Bay?
How hungry are you, Annie?
I'm hungry for ice cream.
6:30 should be fine.
Can we still explore, though?
Yes, we will do everything fun we can while on this trip.
I promise.
The figures look promising,
but I want these deals closed faster.
There's a new incentive package in the works
that we think will get better results.
Well, they should be more efficient,
not stalling all the time for an extra handout.
Get it done. - Will do.
[phone chimes]
Patricia from legal wanting a few minutes,
whenever you had time.
She's arrived. Katrina Sawyer is here.
Uh, well, at the marina.
About time.
She's eating at some place at Indigo Bay at 6:30.
I checked and there's only one restaurant there.
Yeah, I know it.
Make reservations for just before she's supposed to arrive.
Got it. I will do that.
And be sure to wear something nice.
We're going with you?
Oh no, just you.
I don't want Hoppy here to be a distraction.
So it's me eating with the boss
while you're supposedly, what, vacationing?
Is that what you're gonna tell her?
Huh, you're right.
Just go by yourself.
No, too pathetic.
You'll be my date.
What?
Go into town. Find a suitable dress.
Uh, I have clothes.
Based on what I'm seeing, it won't be acceptable
if you're supposed to be with me.
Pete has my card. Better hurry.
[Pete] It's not that bad.
Oh, really? Does he ask you to be his date often?
No, but think of it as a compliment, right?
Going out with a billionaire,
that's like saying you look like a billion bucks.
Just sounded funnier in my head.
And then this. I have to get a new wardrobe for him?
Which one?
I don't know. Which one do you like better?
I can't think like that, because whatever I like
would be something that looked good on me,
and I don't wanna look good for him.
It's not for him, it's for the whole-
Charade?
Exactly.
What about that one?
Yeah.
Fine. I'll try it on.
Look, for all his faults, he's not,
he doesn't have a bad reputation, right?
Like, he's not gonna step outta line.
Oh, great. I feel so much better.
It's just dinner, and it's more for Katrina's benefit.
[sighs] Fine.
Hey, thank you.
I know this isn't what you want, so thank you.
If he orders me a salad, I'm quitting.
[bright music]
Ross, for two.
Right this way.
Your table, sir.
Oh, no, sit here.
Okay.
Thank you.
So what do you normally get here?
Food.
I've been here twice before.
I hardly...
Oh, she's here.
Sawyer, for three.
This way, please.
Now what?
She's coming this way.
Um...
Laugh. - What?
Just do it. [Addison laughs]
- Here you go. - Katrina?
Justin.
Good to see you. Vacationing?
- Yes. - Oh, good.
You'll love it here.
It's a little windy. Could we sit somewhere else?
Maybe over there?
Of course.
Enjoy your meal.
You too.
Wow. She does not like you.
Yeah.
Got that.
Sorry.
It's a fact of life in business.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose,
and some who lose just can't let it go.
- Hi. - Hey.
Can I get a Shirley Temple?
Sure.
Excuse me a moment.
Good evening. Do you know what you'd like tonight?
Yes, the fish with a side of linguini and asparagus, and
seafood salad for the lady.
[Waiter] Of course.
Do you have a wine list?
Thanks.
Hello again.
Hi.
Thank you.
For your daughter?
She loves Shirley Temples.
I did, too, when I was little.
I'll get pasta.
Okay, good.
She's beautiful.
Thank you.
You know, I'll have the same. Why not?
[Katrina chuckles]
I'm Addison.
Katrina.
It's nice to meet you.
Are you here with your family?
Well, that's Annie, my daughter, and Jane, my assistant.
And you're here with Justin Ross?
I guess so.
Have you been seeing him for long?
No, I'm, uh, still getting to know him.
Don't let the money blind you.
Good advice.
I'm hoping there's more to him than that,
but so far, I'm not sure.
Do you know him well, then?
More than I want to.
Not romantically. Thank goodness.
Anything I should keep in mind?
Trust your instincts.
[Bartender] Here you go.
Thanks.
So anything fun that you're planning to do
while on the island?
We'll see what comes up. Anything to relax.
[Annie] Mom, is it ready?
Oh, sorry. I'm keeping you.
Oh, it's fine. Enjoy your drink.
Thanks.
I'm going to be around for a couple of weeks.
If you need a break from Justin,
let's do lunch or something.
A break sounds wonderful.
[Katrina laughs]
Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
It's fine.
My daughter and I are going to have
a picnic on the beach tomorrow.
Would you like to join us?
That sounds great.
So?
I have lunch with Katrina tomorrow.
How?
The power of girl talk.
Wow.
Okay, great.
Tell Pete to clear my schedule for it.
Oh, you're not invited.
Don't worry. I'll try to smooth things over.
Fine.
The fish with linguini and asparagus,
and the seafood salad for the lady.
Uh,
no.
[bright music]
Thanks for dinner.
Yeah.
You're not
afraid of me, are you?
Should I be?
It's pretty common, at least for those beneath me.
Maybe people are afraid because you treat
those beneath you pretty poorly.
I compensate people very well.
I'm not talking about money.
How was dinner?
The fish was good.
[chuckles] How about the company?
Tolerable.
Hey, good job on getting an in with Katrina. That's big.
Hmm. I feel for her, and I don't even know what happened.
Can I?
Knock yourself out.
So when I was researching Katrina,
I think I figured out what happened between her and Justin.
He was trying to acquire the chip company
she was running at the time.
Technology chips, not like potatoes.
Yeah, I got that.
Well, so she had doubts, but he sold her on it,
and the deal actually got a lot of buzz.
Justin made some promises about what he wanted to do,
but instead, he just dismantled the entire company.
He stood to gain a profit from it,
but a lot of people lost their jobs,
and Katrina was the one who took all the flack.
Then it gets out that Justin said that she was gullible,
that he paid way less than the company was worth,
and he was really proud of his coup.
I could totally see him saying that.
Yep, well, she got fired.
Bad press, list of the top-10 overpaid CEOs,
and she lost her job.
So a couple years ago, she got hired as a CEO
to save a sinking company, but...
It's not going well there yet, either?
No.
Taking care of my leg?
Yeah, thank you for continually reminding me of that.
You're right. You're way better at origami than me.
No, I am not. I still have to act.
- Hmm. If you're sure. - Sure, yeah.
You know, I'm really glad you taught me how to do this.
Except, sometimes I can't really figure it out.
[soft music]
Annie!
She's here.
You made it.
Hi.
Hi, I'm Addison.
I'm Annie.
Hey, do you like origami?
Is that for me?
Thanks.
I thought you might like it.
Come on. Let's not keep your mom waiting.
So what happened next?
Then this huge wave came and washed over the deck,
and I thought we were going to sink.
Well, I'm glad you didn't.
Me too.
Mom, can I go in the water?
[Katrina] Sure.
Oh, wait, can you keep it safe for me?
I will.
I hope your trip over here wasn't that dangerous.
Well, we did hit some rough water,
but Annie exaggerates a bit.
She's very sweet.
Thank you.
So other than enchanting children with origami,
what do you do?
I'm an office manager back at home for a medical practice.
Is that so? How long have you been doing that?
Oh, um,
five years?
No, six, actually.
Is that how you met Justin?
No. I met him through my brother.
He works for Justin.
Oh.
And we're not really in any type of relationship.
I don't want to mislead you
or give you the wrong impression.
And yet you're here with him.
Oh, it's more to help my brother.
He was in an accident,
so I'm just here to help him with the things he can't do.
Will he be all right?
Yeah, just a broken leg.
So you're here for business, then?
Ah, more of a favor.
I see.
So what brought you here of all places?
It seemed like a good spot to escape to.
A nice change from my usual haunts.
Apparently I couldn't have picked a worst spot,
with Justin Ross here.
You really have a problem with him.
You would, too.
He manipulated me, went back on his word,
and tried to ruin my career.
I'm so sorry.
Things were pretty bad for a while.
They're not perfect right now, either.
And with Justin around,
I don't want history to repeat itself.
Mm-hmm.
Thank you for lunch, and for the company.
It was good to talk with you.
And for what it's worth, I hope you enjoy yourself here.
If Justin leaves, maybe I will.
Well, I'll see what I can do,
but I doubt I can change his mind.
Do you think he regrets it?
Regret? That would mean he has a conscience.
Well, anything is possible.
Addison.
Hey.
Uh, what are you-
I thought we'd get some jet skis, go exploring.
Um, sure.
Katrina, you're more than welcome to join.
Thank you, but no.
Other plans?
No.
How'd it go?
Um, good.
I need to talk to her at some point,
when she'll listen to me.
I can't force her to,
and it sounds like you didn't do yourself any favors
with whatever happened last time around.
Watch it.
You're not gonna win her over by being overbearing.
Are we really going jet skiing?
No.
Ah, so you said that just so you seem
like you're a fun, relatable guy?
I thought you'd do it because you're a thrill seeker.
At least, that's what it makes you seem like in your book.
I used to be.
Now it makes Wall Street and my insurance agent nervous.
I don't think I'd call jet skiing thrill seeking, though.
I suppose not.
Do you know what your book doesn't talk about, though?
My top 10 crypto picks?
Boring. No.
Who you were before you were the self-made
entrepreneur genius billionaire.
Oh.
Is there gonna be a second book in the works about that?
No. Sorry to disappoint you.
I used to hang around at golf courses when I was a kid.
I'd hunt for lost golf balls and gather 'em up.
Why?
To sell. My family was not well off, so it helped.
It wasn't a lot,
but it got me enough for lunch money for school.
Well, why didn't she write about that?
I'd rather focus on the now, like Katrina.
Fine.
Her feelings about you are the biggest hurdle,
so if you're gonna get anywhere,
you gotta get her past that.
She only sees her side of it, though.
There were considerations. Pressures from every side.
Like what?
I had a lot of attention from everyone.
Investors, analysts, competitors.
I did what I had to.
And you're okay with that?
You have to do whatever it takes to succeed in business.
You need anything else tonight?
No.
Okay. Till tomorrow, then.
Hey, listen.
You, uh,
you did good today.
Thanks.
Putting your brother to shame, though.
I got lucky.
And you shouldn't forget how much you rely on him.
Only for things a toddler could do.
All right, enough of that. Stop putting him down.
He must do a good job,
or you would've fired him a long time ago.
You can't keep treating him like he's nothing.
I was paying you a compliment.
At the expense of someone else?
You're only saying that because he's your brother.
I hope I would say that no matter
who you were talking about.
He works hard, harder than I've ever seen him work,
and he stresses about it all the time,
because you don't care or show you're grateful.
How would you know?
He broke his leg in an accident rushing back to work
after taking five minutes to have lunch with me.
Did you ever express any concern?
It's not my problem.
It doesn't mean that you can't show a little compassion.
You didn't even ask him what happened.
It was obvious, he hurt his leg. Where's the mystery?
Besides, what other job brings him and you here?
It's not like this is a vacation.
He's working with a broken leg.
And it hasn't been a picnic for me, either.
Oh, really?
Yeah, you expect me to run all your errands, cook for you,
be your housekeeper and maid, oh, and your fake date.
Well, half the stuff I asked you to do
was just to see if you would do it.
Are you serious?
You're unbelievable.
[soft music]
You can't keep talking to him like that.
Do you know how hard it is for me
to hear him put you down all the time?
Look, Addison, I don't love it either,
but this is temporary, right?
You can't let it get to you.
Okay, fine.
Look, just keep your head down for a while, all right?
Pete, at some point, that won't be enough.
You can't keep bowing down to him.
I'm not gonna be in this job forever, okay?
I just have to tread water for a little longer,
and then he'll give me a chance
somewhere better in the company.
And how do you know that?
He talked about it on my first day.
Wow. That's ironclad.
[scoffs] Okay. Whatever.
[Pete groans]
Did you call the doctor?
No, I set an appointment up for something early next week.
Good. I'll take you there.
No, no, Justin needs someone here to-
Justin is a big boy.
I'm sure he can handle things by himself
for a couple of hours.
Good morning.
Morning. How do you like your eggs?
What?
Eggs. Breakfast.
You're making me breakfast?
Well, since you pointed out how badly I treated you,
I figure it's the least I could do.
Uh, over medium.
Yolk broken?
No. Uh, thank you.
Would you pass the bagels?
Yeah.
So, I need a meeting with Katrina, which, I know,
it's out of my hands, for now, at least.
But in the meantime,
I wanna review everything about her company.
Synergies, costs, benefits, all that.
Today?
Yeah. Where's Pete?
Uh, he's coming. Do you want yours toasted?
Yeah.
You do know it's Saturday, right?
So?
Do you always work 24/7?
I mean, you're in a beautiful place,
in an amazing home, supposedly vacationing.
Your point?
Well, you could actually just take a day off.
Why, so you and Pete can have the day off, too?
No, because you could use it.
No, I've been here before, and a lot of other places.
You've seen one island, you've seen 'em all.
That's the saddest thing I think I've heard in a while.
There's gotta be something you wanna do.
Eat.
So Davidson wanted some extra time next week.
He still wanted to preview the deal points.
Yeah, send him what we have,
but tell Hank to check it for any updated figures.
Okay, yeah, will do.
Make sure no one over there
is talking when they shouldn't be.
The situation here is delicate.
Yeah, no, for sure. You got it.
Uh, hey, I just wanted to, uh,
I wanted to thank you for letting Addison come.
I know she can be pretty outspoken, but-
She's fine.
Okay. Yes.
Good.
Thanks again.
Wait a minute.
You and Addison can have the rest of the day off.
Sorry, what did you just say?
Get outta here for a while. Both of you.
Okay.
Thank you.
Has he ever done this before?
No, that's why we have to leave
before he changes his mind.
Huh.
Can we take his car?
There's no way I'm asking him that.
I'm just gonna call a cab instead.
Okay.
Nope, I forgot my wallet.
Okay. Hurry, though.
[soft music]
- Oh. - Oh.
Sorry, I forgot something.
Oh, okay.
Do you need anything before we go?
Thought you already left.
Almost. We're waiting for a cab.
Oh, you can just take the car.
Really? You sure?
Yeah.
Yeah, that'd be easier.
All right. Keys are in my room.
Uh, what are you doing the rest of the day?
I haven't decided yet. You?
Well, I wanted to go snorkeling, but Pete can't,
so instead, we're going to this spot
where the planes land really close to the beach.
Pete used to wanna be a pilot, so.
Better go see it, then.
Do you wanna come?
It's your car, and your day off, too.
It could be fun, if you want.
I, um...
Gimme a second to change.
I can't believe you invited him.
It felt like the right thing to do.
I'm surprised he agreed to come.
Yeah, well, so much for a day off.
Relax. He hasn't even asked you for anything yet.
Hey, there's a schedule for when the flights land.
Next one's in a half hour.
Ah, okay.
Well, we'll just-
Burn until then.
Chill.
I'm gonna go explore.
Thanks, Mom.
He'll be fine.
I know.
[sighs] Look at that water, though. It's beautiful.
You okay if I leave you for a bit?
Oh yeah, no, for sure. You're good.
Great idea, Pete. Let's go to the beach.
[soft music]
Did you get in the water yet?
Yeah, it's nice. Warm.
What are you looking for?
A plane.
I gotta have enough time to run back to Pete
to grab my phone for photos.
Ah.
You've never seen this before?
No. Why would I?
Well, I figured, you have a home here,
you'd see all the highlights.
I usually don't have time.
Sounds like you need to relax more.
Or are you the type that likes to relax more at home?
Well, I have six homes.
Ah. Yeah, it doesn't surprise me.
But those are houses. I mean, like, where is home?
Where's home for you?
Well, I live in the city now, but when I think of home,
I think of my parents' house.
It's where we grew up, mostly.
I know I can always go there to feel safe, happy, loved.
Are your parents around?
Uh, no. Illnesses, a few years apart.
Um, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
It's in the book.
I haven't finished it yet.
Nah, excuses, excuses.
You know, your book's good and all that,
but it's not really you.
How so?
Well, it's this proud, accomplished,
bragging version of you.
Gee, thanks.
And you have every right to be proud of what you've done.
It's amazing. It's just not you.
I think I should point out, you've only known me a week.
It doesn't mean I'm wrong.
There's more to you than the billionaire.
Now, most people are fine with that title alone.
So, what more do you see?
I think,
well, I see a decent person.
Wow. Don't go too overboard with compliments.
Maybe likable, even, but you hide it.
Likable? I'm really flattered.
[scoffs] Don't mock me.
I'm pretty sure I'm the one being mocked.
I'm being totally serious.
I think that makes me feel worse.
Sorry.
It's fine.
I must not be used to caring what other people think of me.
Oh, no, I'm not saying...
I mean, what I think doesn't matter.
You've been telling me what you think every day,
whether I wanna hear it or not.
Why wouldn't your opinion matter to me now?
Are you saying it mattered to you all the other times?
Yes.
[airplane engine rumbling]
It's coming!
Wow! [chuckles]
That's was amazing!
Did you get it all?
Oh, I got the whole thing on camera.
Yeah! You have to send it to Mom and Dad.
They'll get a kick out of it.
Yeah.
Addison!
Hi, Annie.
I still have it. My mom says I'm wearing it.
Well, it looks a little weathered, but that's okay.
Could you wake me another one?
Honey, Addison is busy.
No, it's okay.
I only know a couple of animals, though,
because that's all my brother here taught me.
You make animals, too?
I do.
When we get back to some paper,
we'll make you something special.
Maybe you and your mom can come
by the house for dinner tomorrow.
Addison and Pete can have the origami for you then.
Thank you, but we already have dinner plans.
Um, we were thinking of going snoring in a couple of days.
Would you wanna come?
We could find a good spot off of one of the small islands.
I have a boat that could take us.
So do I.
Well, this one's more for sport.
It's easier to get around for snorkeling.
And I read that turtles hang out around those islands.
Can we, Mom?
Fine.
I thought for sure she would say no.
Well, Annie helped.
I just hope Katrina doesn't think I'm manipulating her,
because it kind of feels like I am.
No, no, you're not. You're just being a peacemaker, right?
Like, Dad always called you that
when me and Mom would get in a fight,
and you'd be the one to just smooth it over.
Maybe that's how I got all my
doctor's office people skills.
[chuckles] Yes, could be. But you did set Katrina at ease.
He's right.
You did great.
Thanks.
You're gonna have to be careful with how you bring up
the business and this stuff with her, though.
Yeah. She's pretty guarded already, isn't she?
Yeah. Keep it casual.
How?
I mean, I know how to be casual,
but with her, what would that look like?
Relax. Just be yourself.
I usually am.
Yeah, but that's Mr. Billionaire
determined to conquer the world.
What about the guy who grew up
gathering golf balls for extra money?
Wait, what, really?
I regret telling you that already.
Why?
You don't move in these rich circles.
Nobody cares about a sob story,
especially if you're from old money.
Well, Katrina strikes me as someone who would prefer
an honest and down-to-earth conversation.
Why else would she have invited me
to a picnic at the beach the other day?
I'm not telling her that story.
Then don't, but be that person. Humble.
Instead of arrogant?
[bright music]
Hey.
Hey. Everything okay?
Yeah, yeah.
You need to stay off that leg.
Let me sit down, then.
So what's up?
No, it's a little strange.
What is?
No, I've just, I've never seen Justin
ask for anybody's help like that.
Well, it wasn't really help. More like our opinion.
Yeah, see, that's the problem,
because Justin Ross doesn't care what anybody else thinks.
Maybe he's turning over a new leaf.
[scoffs] There are no new leaves with him, only...
He's only got dead branches.
[both laughing]
Sorry, I'm trying to figure out how to...
Remember that girl in high school
that I had a crush on, Sadie?
Ugh, yes.
Yeah, right, and I didn't wanna see it, but she was-
- Awful? - Yes.
And by the time I figured it out,
I got my heart just stomped on, and you...
I used all my powers as a senior
to make her stop manipulating you
and every other goodhearted boy in your grade.
Right, yeah, so,
the thing is, I feel like the situations are reversed now.
What do you...
Justin.
[scoffs] He's your boss.
Yeah, and still not the best person in the world.
He's not the worst, either.
See, see? That's what I'm talking about, that.
I feel like you're seeing more to him there
than there actually is.
There's...
No, I'm not.
You sure?
Look, I get it, I'm the little brother. What do I know?
But I do feel like I'm pretty observant,
for the most part, and what I'm seeing is
something between you guys.
Whoa.
I don't know about that.
Okay.
Okay. Maybe I'm wrong.
Just, um,
just watch out.
Of course. But there's nothing to worry about.
Forward that to the on-call service just so they're aware.
What else? - Hey, Addison.
Hey, we gotta go.
Ugh, yeah, we've had a lot of problems
with that carer. - It's just,
I'm gonna be late,
and my leg's broken. - I think I might know
someone who can help.
Oy vey.
- What is it? - I'm gonna be late
for my doctor's appointment.
Addison.
Hold on.
I'm sorry. It's work back home.
It'll be just another minute.
I can take him.
Are you sure?
You're in the middle of something. It's fine.
Shouldn't I go with you so you're not alone?
Ah, no, no, I can handle it.
Okay. Let's go, then.
Yeah, no, no. I'm still here.
Yeah, if you could call Kyle about the vendor payment list.
- Stop that. - What?
I can see you out of the corner of my eye.
Oh, sorry.
So,
finally getting the cast on?
Yeah, yeah, that's the plan.
I had to wait for the swelling to go down
before they could actually cast it, so.
Oh.
How did it happen?
Oh, it was an accident.
No, I mean, it was, I mean, I was on my scooter,
and a bike courier pulled out in front of me,
and we just ran into each other, and my,
my leg got the worst of it, so yeah.
You got into an accident on your scooter
with a bike courier?
Yeah.
It's not uncommon.
Hmm, I'm sure it's not. Crazy city.
Yeah.
[Justin laughs]
[both laughing]
Oh, man.
[Pete] We're back.
Looks good.
Yeah. It's already itching.
What did the doctor say?
You know, the usual stuff, don't get it wet,
stay off of it, that kind of thing.
Thank you for taking him.
You're welcome.
Shall we eat? You need any help?
It's all ready. I'll go grab the rest.
[bright music]
Maybe they're running late.
Or we've been stood up.
Yeah. I'm sorry.
I doubt it's because of you.
Well, let's just give it a few more minutes.
I'll go make sure the boat's ready.
We're still going? I mean, even if they don't show up?
I mean, we're here. Might as well.
Want one? - Yeah. Thanks.
So I have a question.
What is so special about Katrina's company?
I mean, enough that you'd have to go through all this?
Well, what her company has,
paired with what my company does,
could make a lot of leaps
in battery power, performance, and life.
And putting that into just about every device we use
has a lot of financial potential.
And if it doesn't work, what then?
I move on. There are other options, just not as good.
Someone is gonna figure out what she has, though,
and go after it, giving me more competition.
I wish I could leave it alone, but it's out of my hands.
Is it? You're the owner and CEO.
You make the decisions.
My fortune is tied to wowing everyone,
and you can't wow anyone without beating expectations.
Mm. Sounds exhausting.
Mm. Wanna switch jobs?
Uh, no thanks.
Office manager, right? How's that?
It's fine. Much simpler than your job.
I feel like you could do more.
I mean, you're very capable,
With your skills, you could be anything you want.
I'm fine with who I am.
Addison Burke, office manager.
Just Addison Burke.
What I do doesn't mean that's all there is to me.
Hmm. So who are you beyond the office manager?
Organizational guru. Pete makes fun of me for that one.
Oh, a fan of crafts and nature documentaries.
Okay.
And a good friend.
At least, I hope I can say that.
You can.
Sorry. We're a bit late.
Katrina. Hi.
I'm glad you came.
Hey, Addison. Can we go snorkeling now?
Let's get on the boat first.
[upbeat music]
Did you see the turtle?
Yeah.
Come on. I think there's another one over there.
Hold on a sec, I wanna grab my camera. Annie!
Go ahead and grab your camera. I'll watch her.
Thank you.
Oh.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
Are you guys hungry?
We got food, drinks, or-
No, I'm just here to grab my camera.
Yeah, it might be kinda tough to get her outta the water.
I think you're right.
Could we, um, could we talk for a moment?
I'm glad you came.
Annie insisted.
To be honest, I was perfectly fine to not show up.
[chuckles] I understand.
Well, there's no use in me beating around the bush, so.
I did not handle that last deal well.
I treated it just as business,
with that company being some prize to win,
even if it meant going back on some promises I've made.
I see now that I was callous,
especially after the deal was done, and I didn't need to be.
Thank you for saying as much.
So what do you want now?
You're not one to pass up an opportunity.
You want something.
Okay. I want to acquire your company.
I think it would be a great addition to mine.
I can see the headlines now.
"Katrina Sawyer sinks another ship
for Justin Ross to pilfer."
Now, look, I'm only telling you what I'm thinking.
Well, why my company?
Your new battery patents and technology.
And some other parts make sense as well,
but mainly the battery division.
Is that all?
What about you? What do you want?
You don't care what I want.
I'm trying to. It's new for me, I'll admit.
I want to turn it around,
to build it up and not cut it into little pieces.
Okay. Go on.
I don't treat it just as business.
[Katrina and Justin chattering]
Katrina said she'd look over the proposals.
Proposals? More than one?
Well, it includes some ideas she had,
which won't work, but it's okay.
The important thing is we're talking,
and that's because of you.
Oh, I don't think I had much to do with it.
You know what I mean.
With the way you befriended her,
and me, you created a bridge, so,
thank you.
You're welcome.
You know, it was just as much
because you were being more yourself.
Down to earth.
Humble instead of arrogant?
Yeah. [chuckles]
The guy who grew up like millions of other people,
and worked hard for where he is now.
You prefer him?
It's easy to like that guy.
Yeah?
Uh, I'm gonna go check in with Pete, and see if,
see if I missed anything that needs attention.
Okay.
The sales SVP thinks these members are actually
on the low end of what the battery could do.
Good. Nothing like under-promising and over-delivering.
Hey, Pete, does Addison like horses?
Uh, I mean,
I guess.
Sorry, horses?
Yeah. Is she okay with them?
Like riding 'em? I mean, yeah.
I mean, she went to an equestrian camp
one summer growing up, so yeah.
Okay. Good.
Tell sales this is good, but keep it under wraps still.
Okay.
[soft music]
Why is Justin asking me if you like horses?
I have no idea.
Really? Are you sure?
Because the whole time that I've worked for him,
nothing has been as bizarre
as what I've seen since we've been here.
Well, I don't know what to tell you.
Maybe he's just being nice.
See, that's the problem, 'cause Justin doesn't do nice.
And it's gonna kill me to ask you this,
but is he flirting with you?
[scoffs] No!
Do you still know what flirting looks like?
Yes.
All right, but you do have to admit,
he is acting strange, right?
And don't try to explain it away or deny it.
Okay.
Maybe.
Okay, then.
Does he date a lot?
I mean, do you send flowers to women on his behalf?
[Pete laughs]
What is it?
Oh, you are interested in him.
It was just a question.
No, you don't ask a question about someone's dating life
unless you are also interested.
What could you possibly see in him, right?
Oh, it's not the money, is it?
No, of course not.
But, and I'm not saying that I am interested, okay,
but what if,
what if he is just like anybody else, trying to get by,
but under the scrutiny of everyone watching and critiquing?
What if him being difficult is the effect, not a cause?
Or he's a jerk and he is gonna trample all over you
just like he tramples over everybody else.
He's not a jerk. I think he's lonely, though.
Really?
Well, think about it, all that money and influence,
people assuming a lot about you, it's isolating.
Ah, you know, my heart just bleeds for him,
but that's not your problem.
You're not gonna listen to a word I'm saying, are you?
Of course I'm listening, but it'll be fine, okay.
Okay.
How's the leg today?
Oh, it's fine, thanks.
You have to wear the cast for long?
Um, no, he said six to eight weeks,
so I'm hoping for six.
Oh, did you see the email from Katrina?
She says she wanted to meet tomorrow.
That's great.
I can confirm that if you want.
No, I'll do it.
Oh, okay.
Good morning.
Hi.
[clears throat] So, uh, there's this spot here
for horseback riding.
They take you on a path, and through the water, too.
Would you like to go?
Yeah, that'd be fun.
[Pete clears throat]
I got a chunk stuck on my throat. Sorry.
[bright music]
[Justin] What do you think?
That this is pretty awesome. [chuckles]
I bet everything you do is pretty amazing wherever you go.
But how do you find one that stands out
when they're all so special?
You think the activity is what's amazing?
Isn't it?
No.
So was there ever a time you were impressed easily, too?
A long time ago.
What impressed you back then?
Uh, flying first class.
- Really? - Yeah.
[Addison] Why?
Well, all these business types were around me,
bored and used to it all,
the service, the extra room.
And I was almost giddy.
I felt like they knew I didn't belong there.
And now you're flying your own jet.
Oh, how things change, right?
[Addison] Being impressed isn't bad.
It's sign you still remember the simpler things.
Appreciate what's changed.
I don't run in the social circles
that show any appreciation.
Well, that's too bad.
It'd probably be refreshing.
It is.
It's one of the things I like about you.
You're not like everyone else.
You came here to help your brother,
and you haven't tried to butter me up once.
Well, how do you know?
Trust me, I've been around enough people
who put on a fake smile to try to get something out of me.
The thing is,
you're different,
and it's making me
be different.
[soft music]
[horse whinnies] - Oh!
[both laughing]
Thank you. I liked that a lot.
I'm glad you enjoyed the horses.
Not just the horses.
Addison. [chuckles]
Addison, did you see the text from Mom and Dad?
Thanks for coming with.
Um, yeah.
She wants us to spend Christmas in a-
In a tiny cabin.
Kinda hard to get excited about after all this.
Yeah. Who's gonna tell her that, though?
- Not it. - Oh, come on.
What have you been doing?
I was just working on the Katrina thing.
How do you think that'll all play out?
Justin will keep working on it out.
Now that she's talking, he'll get his way.
Well, she still doesn't wanna sell.
Yeah, well, he'll convince her. It's what he does.
I thought she had some ideas he was considering.
[phone chimes] - Yeah, it's just,
it's what he says.
[chuckles] Dad says he wants to go on a cruise instead.
Gonna need your peace-making skills.
[bright music]
Research, breakdown of costs, profits.
Got it.
She's gonna be here in about 20 minutes.
Yep. Plenty of time.
Do you want me to sit in?
No, let's keep it as casual as possible.
She has a connection to Addison, though.
Is she, uh...
Coming, coming.
Are you nervous.
About what? The meeting?
Yeah. it's important to you.
It'll be alright.
I just have to convince her to see reality.
What if you two don't agree?
Probably won't at first, but she'll come around.
I've looked over what you sent me.
It's intriguing, but a bit outside the scope
of what we talked about.
It's all simple scenarios at this point,
but it would be a mistake to dismiss any.
I've looked at the financials,
and the return for your investors
is very favorable with what I'm proposing.
In the short term, yes, but I've missed the bigger,
longer-term picture before, and I don't wanna do that again.
The long-term picture is,
your company's debt is projected to grow
while your revenue shrinks at an unforgiving rate.
You have to stop the bleeding.
Even so, let's start with talking
about the scenario I'm more interested in,
since it would be a mistake to dismiss anything.
Of course.
I know I'm not the expert here,
but that meeting seemed a little rough.
It's fine. That's how it goes sometimes.
I think she felt like you weren't listening to her.
I listened fine, but she's wrong.
Her solutions aren't gonna dig her out of the hole.
She started listening to you
when you were being more yourself,
not the billionaire business empire persona.
If you want her to-
Like you said, you're not an expert.
I'm sorry, that was...
It'll be fine. This is hardly a new territory for me, okay?
[soft music]
Justin.
- What? - Sorry.
What are you doing in my room?
I know. I'm sorry.
A story just broke about you and Katrina.
What?
"Sources allude to a proposed merger,
but analysts suspect it will fail.
Sawyer confirms she will not encourage
a sale of the company,
and instead stated she will consider
new offers from potential partners
to collaborate on its revolutionary battery technology."
How did this get out?
I have no idea.
It could have been her people who leaked it, or ours,
but she did make a statement.
This is her slamming the door in my face.
What are we gonna do?
Call my pilot. Have the jet ready in an hour.
The PR team is ready and waiting.
I know Hank is also making calls.
Fine.
I don't understand why this story is bad thing.
Don't worry about it.
Katrina made her position pretty clear.
She doesn't wanna sell.
I know. Told the whole world about it.
So why not seriously consider something she does want?
Ah. Something she wants?
Look, I appreciate that you're trying to help,
but you don't know what you're talking about.
- But what if- - Uh, Addison,
can we have a drink?
You want some orange juice?
The story will blow over, but the real damage is in-
The competition. Any advantage we had is now gone.
There are very few that can seriously compete, though.
But what does it matter
if she doesn't wanna do business with us?
I was so close, too.
You still can be.
I wanna flex the muscle a bit.
Keep the other companies away.
Warn them off? You know, that might create more waves.
More like dangle a carrot to keep them out of the picture.
It'll leave her no choice but to come back to us.
You really think that'll work?
Yes.
You hardly heard out her alternatives.
If she thinks you aren't listening,
it's no wonder this is coming out now.
This is my business, not yours.
I'm running a multi-billion dollar corporation.
You run a little doctor's office.
Besides, you're only tagging along for Skippy over here,
so don't pretend you know what you're talking about
when you don't have any skin in the game.
We'll, get on it right away,
but I think you should be on the island while she's there
to try to salvage it once we have a strategy in place.
No interviews. No, talk to PR.
Tell 'em to downplay this.
Hey. Are you okay?
What does everyone come up with?
It's not personal.
What he said, he didn't mean it.
He just gets so, you know,
he gets caught up on the business end of things,
and then that instinct to win and succeed,
it just kinda takes over, you know?
I never thought I'd hear you make excuses for him.
[chuckles] I'm not making excuses, I just...
Look, I don't want you to be upset
because of something he said.
You said it yourself. He's not worth it, right?
You've been telling me that for how many months now?
Come on.
How the tables have turned.
No, I just, this is what I was afraid of, okay?
Addison, people like him, they don't...
People like him don't change.
Okay, he might act nice for a little bit, but it's,
it doesn't really mean anything.
Yeah. As long as we go through back channels.
All right. Make some calls to the board.
Make sure that you let 'em know.
I guess not.
I think that's what's bothering me the most.
I thought he had changed.
I guess I was wrong.
Maybe I should've stayed.
I mean, you've got things under control now.
I'm not really needed.
Yes, you are, for my sanity.
[both chuckling]
Look, either the deal's gonna go through or not.
We're almost done, and then we're gonna be back home.
Back to normal life.
All right, yeah. Get back to me.
[soft music]
No, I don't like any of her other options.
Katrina's company has-
Yes, exactly.
What? Yeah, yeah, still here.
Look, start reaching out to their board.
You finished it.
Uh.
Yeah.
May I?
So I've been doing some thinking, and,
I was out of line with you the other day.
I'm sorry.
I should not have snapped at you
and made you feel unappreciated.
It's fine.
But thank you.
Look,
my world is harsh,
and has certain realities and bottom lines
that I can't ignore.
I have a responsibility to do what I think is best.
I know.
It's a lot for someone to take in and understand.
I just don't want you to see it the wrong way.
Okay.
So,
are we okay?
Yeah.
See, you say that, but I get the feeling
you don't mean it the way that I do.
It's like you said,
there are certain realities in your world.
Just because I don't understand them
doesn't mean I have to accept them.
I'm going to town for some groceries.
Anything you need while I'm there?
No.
Whatever you think is fine.
[Annie chattering]
Annie, stay here with Jane
and pick something up for Grandma, okay?
Anything?
Within reason.
I'll be right back.
Katrina.
Hi, Addison. How are things?
Oh, you know. Well, you can probably guess.
I've heard Justin doesn't like it
when he doesn't get his way.
He'll just have to deal with it.
How much longer are you staying?
I don't know. Hopefully not long.
I've got to get back to my real life.
I'm sorry things didn't work out.
You gotta do what's best for you. I admire that.
I'm not talking about business.
I mean, between you and Justin.
Ah.
Me too.
I hope we run into each other again.
Maybe back in the city?
I'd like that.
[soft music]
Hey. - Hey.
I ordered dinner. It'll be here in an hour.
Okay. Thanks.
What are you doing out here anyway?
Just getting some vitamin D.
[scoffs] You need anything else?
Uh, no, I'm good, thanks.
Hey, Addison.
Yeah?
I think I preferred it when you hated him.
Uh, it's all right.
It's silly.
All this?
What does it matter?
You have feelings for him.
He cares about you, too.
I know, that seems pretty important.
Maybe your friendship with Katrina
has put you in an awkward position.
No, it's not that.
Then what is it?
He's not who I
thought or
hoped he was.
You were right before.
We're just in two different worlds.
You could always go home.
What about you?
You're already on that leg more than you should be.
No, I can handle it. I promise.
I'll think about it.
[melancholy music]
Hey.
There's more in the kitchen if you want.
Okay. Thanks.
Enjoy.
Mind if I, uh, join you?
Women, am I right?
Can you say that?
I can if she can't hear me.
You don't have to pretend your loyalty is to me.
I'm not.
Can I be to both of you?
You're only saying that because you wanna move
to project management someday.
I remember.
Don't worry.
Job and aspirations are safe.
We can just forget about this whole trip.
Yeah, yeah, sure, if that's what you want.
Sorry, look, I'm just saying-
What I want is for business to go onward and upward.
It's okay to want something different.
Who says I do?
[chuckles] Emotions cloud business judgment.
I think that was a point in your book.
So?
So I get the logic for wanting to keep
the heart and business separate, I do.
But business doesn't have to be heartless,
and you don't have to ignore what you feel
to reach some estimated earnings projections.
- Eat your food. - Okay.
[soft music]
[bright music]
What's up.
Did you really mean it when you said
you could handle things here on your own if I went home?
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Is that what you want?
Are you sure it won't hurt things with your job?
Oh, no, I'm sure it'll be fine.
I mean, I'm not saying that Justin's gonna be, like,
happy about it, but...
Yeah. Don't tell him I'm leaving.
With everything going on,
it'll be better for everyone this way.
You really think so?
There's a flight leaving in a few hours.
I'll call you a cab.
Thanks for meeting me here.
Annie wants to go to a bird sanctuary, so.
I'll get right to it.
Mom, where's the bathroom?
I'll take her.
So I assume it was you who leaked that we were talking?
No, I had Jane do it.
Ah, nice.
I wanted you to take my deal.
It's better for me, and in some ways easier for you.
I'm not one to take the easy way.
Yeah, I got that, and respect it.
So what do you want most for your company?
I want my company to succeed.
I want the people who work there to be proud of what they do
instead of feeling nervous that they'll be out of a job.
I wasn't exaggerating when I said
you're headed for disaster.
You can't do it on your own.
But what if you had help?
I don't want a bailout, especially not from you.
I'm not known for my charity.
No, consider it more of a strategic partnership.
How could that work?
Do you have a pen?
Addison?
Pete?
We have a deal with Katrina.
Well, that's great. How?
Where's Addison?
She's gone.
What?
She felt it was time to get back to her life.
[jet engine roaring]
You shoulda told me she was leaving.
Look, one of you was gonna be unhappy,
whether I did or not.
And you don't know Addison.
She can get pretty scary when she's upset.
Yeah. I can see that.
She feels I'm not listening to her,
that I don't care about what she thinks.
I mean, do you?
Of course.
You always say that business comes first,
regardless of what people feel, but with Addison,
feelings matter, people matter.
I know.
I spent my whole career doing whatever it takes
for my business to succeed.
I never cared enough about the people involved
or how it might affect them.
And now you do?
I see that Addison was right.
No, I mean, what about the bottom line?
'Cause the reality of the situation is
that it's probably gonna cost you.
So if it came down to it,
are you willing to let a multi-billion dollar deal
fall apart for a girl?
For the right girl.
Seriously?
Why wouldn't I?
If there's one thing that Addison showed me,
it's that there is more to life than money.
And in this case, the deal only happened
because I finally started listening to her
and started caring about more than just business.
Are you saying Addison's that girl?
[Pete chuckles]
All right, that is what you're saying. Okay.
Now I just need to figure out how to convince her
that I can be the guy that she thought I was.
Could you teach me something?
[soft music]
[phone chimes]
Katrina.
Do you like 'em?
Sorry. Uh, Pete gave me the spare key.
[sighs] I thought you were supposed to be in St. Martin.
How, how did you-
Private flights are faster than commercial.
Right.
Is it okay that I'm here?
Yeah.
I heard about your deal with Katrina.
You did?
She seemed pleased.
I'm glad.
Yeah, we talked and figured out a way to work together.
Basically, I'll license her battery technology
exclusively for a few years,
and then we'll collaborate on the next generation, too.
Turns out to be a win for both of us.
That's great.
I wanted to tell you all about it,
but you had already left,
and that felt worse than any deal falling through.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. I understand why you left.
You didn't think that you mattered to me,
or that I had changed.
But you do matter,
and I have changed.
Or at least, I'm trying.
Although, I'm sure, no matter how hard I try,
I'll still make mistakes.
Well, that's understandable.
You know, there's only one person in my life
who isn't afraid to call me out
and tell me what I need to hear,
even if I don't like it,
and that's you.
I,
I need you.
You do?
So,
you think you could put up with a imperfect
but semi-charming guy?
Semi-charming?
Well, I have to give you some reason for you to like me.
There's actually a lot of good about you.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You're kind, when you want to,
and so intelligent
and driven.
What you've done from gathering
the first golf ball as a kid until now, it's amazing.
And you're thoughtful.
Wait, are those origami flowers?
Yeah. Do you like 'em?
Did Pete make them?
I did. Well, he taught me on the flight here.
See? Thoughtful.
I love them more than any of the others.
Good. They're worth all the paper cuts, then.
Oh.
[bright music]
So you'll give me a chance, then?
Mm, I'll think about it.
[bright music continues]
