A stealth hunter, a fierce predator.
She lies patiently...
waiting for the chance to strike.
Once she digs her sharp claws...
He's here, Joe.
Joe, he's here.
You got the money?
We swear we'll have it.
-You shut your mouth. -Hey!
Don't talk to my wife that way.
Yeah, you teach the whore to keep her mouth shut.
You know one thing I hate more than a thief?
It's a liar.
I can tell you really love your family,
and I'd hate to see something happen to your wife here
and that pretty little girl of yours.
You got 24 hours, Joe.
Next time, I won't be so generous.
Where are you going?
Out.
Out where?
Just out, Karen.
It's not there.
What are you going to do, Joe?
I told you, Karen, I'm going to take care of this.
Please don't do this.
I don't want you and Autumn wrapped up in all this.
Marco crossed a line when he threatened my family.
If it's the last thing I do,
I'm going to make sure that bastard pays for this.
If I'm not back in two hours,
I want you and Autumn to get as far away from here as possible.
Where's Daddy?
He's gone.
When is he coming home?
He's not.
Don't you dare shed a tear.
Life is not fair.
If you cave in, start getting all soft and mushy,
it's going to swallow you up.
You always got to have a way out.
Always be one step ahead.
Whatever it takes,
I never want you to end up like your father and me.
Broke and begging for crumbs from the master's table.
Do you understand me, Autumn?
Whatever it takes.
I'm out.
Fold.
Double or nothing, Bob. What do you say?
I mean, unless you're scared of getting beat by a 12-year-old.
Oh.
- I ain't scared. - Then ante up.
Show me what you got.
Let's raise the stakes.
Nice.
See who's really scared.
Oh. Yeah, that's what I thought.
Wait.
Me? Afraid? Never.
Show me what you got.
Are you sure about this, Autumn?
I got it.
Hm. Read 'em and weep.
- Aw. - Thank you.
Not so fast, buddy.
That's all she wrote for you, Bob.
-Oh. -Beat by a 12-year-old.
-Can you believe this, man? -She's a little shark.
-She got you. Can't believe it. -Come on.
That dummy's got a--
Come on.
I can't believe we did it.
-Seriously can't-- -Wait, this is not right.
Three of a kind. Two kings of spades?
Two king of spades? You little brat.
Run! Come on!
Come on. Hurry up. Lock it, lock it.
Oh, hey, hey.
- There we go. - Okay. Go, go, go.
Oh, those little brats.
I grabbed the other deck,
but I couldn't get the other king of spades.
It's all right.
We'll get another one.
Looks like we're also gonna have to find
some new guys to play against as well.
Yeah, we'll find some other clueless chumps in no time.
Michael, one day, we're gonna leave this old town
and make it big.
Where are we going, Autumn?
Anywhere but here. New York, maybe?
Chicago, maybe? Even L.A.
Oh, I hear it never gets cold in L.A.
It just feels like summer year-round.
That's where we'll go, then.
We'll head out west and be as rich as Bill Gates
and as famous as...
Oprah Winfrey.
Let's make a deal.
Say it with me.
One day, we'll be as rich as Bill Gates
and as famous as Oprah Winfrey.
Oh, that's-- that's stupid.
Come on, Michael. You gotta say it with me.
All right, fine.
One day, we'll be as rich as Bill Gates
and as famous as Oprah Winfrey.
Come on.
Hold on, hold on. I need a breather.
Come on, old man. You can't finish?
Old man, that's a good one. That's good.
Oh, boy.
Trouble with the boss again?
Autumn, how many jobs have you actually held
longer than six months?
Michael, these nine-to-fives just don't fit me.
I hate clocking in every morning
for barely minimum wage.
You might as well call it modern-day slavery.
What happened this time?
Phil is a dick is what happened.
He promised me overtime,
and then gave the hours to Brittany instead.
Brittany.
That's the one you said he's got a thing for, right?
Yeah, more than a thing.
Explains why he's giving her all the hours.
I don't know. Corporate America's so twisted.
The only real way for a woman
to climb the corporate ladder is on her back.
I'm done with Phil and all these corporate pimps.
Oh, that reminds me.
Look what I made us at work to help keep us motivated.
Ooh.
Hey, why is Bennett first?
Because I made it.
Michael, I can't wait to leave this town
and head for the big city.
You ready?
I'm ready.
I wouldn't worry too much. We got this.
I hear you, Autumn, I do.
But Evan did not sound like he had good news on the phone.
Let me worry about Evan.
All right, Evan.
What the hell happened with this Wells and McFarland deal?
They didn't bite.
I thought you said you had it in the bag.
I did, but they took a closer look
at the financials, so they pulled out.
Said it was too high risk.
Damn it, Evan.
What did we hire you for?
Do you understand how much we needed this?
You're acting like I meant to kill this deal.
I gave it all I had.
You obviously didn't give enough.
-Now it's my fault? -Damn right it's your fault.
Guys, bickering back and forth
is not going to solve the problem.
Evan, what's the damage without this deal?
Without this deal, we have no other choice
but to liquidate all of our assets and close up shop.
We've had to lay off our entire staff,
but even after we liquidate, we still fall short.
-By how much? -2.5 million.
2.5 million?
So, just like that, we're done?
Michael, I can't believe you're going to lay back
and let this get the best of us.
I think we all know what has to happen next.
What, quit?
Look, I started this--
We started this company
with nothing but Delaware-born hard grit.
I will do whatever it takes to save this company.
Whatever it takes, Evan.
There's nothing left to save.
You know what? Get the hell out, you're fired.
Wait, what?
No, Michael, the conversation is final.
Michael, please look out for yourself.
Get the hell out!
What's the next play here, Autumn?
I said I'd do whatever it takes.
I'll get the money.
I really am a compassionate man, Mr. Baxter.
Wouldn't you agree?
Shh.
I don't understand people that try to swindle me.
Now, you've left me no other choice.
I'll be sure to send my condolences
to your family, Mr. Baxter.
45, 46, 47,
48, 49, 50.
Oh, not bad.
Hello, Grace's Cleaning Solutions.
Mm-hmm. Yes, oh, this is she, yes.
Yes.
Thursday?
Yes.
Yes, the rates are 45 for an hour,
and then 90 for two and a half hours
and 120 for three.
And if you want something extra or a few properties,
then we can talk about that on the side.
-Oh, good morning to you. -Hello, Mr. West, how are you?
I'm good, I'm good.
Looks like today's going to be a good day.
I think so, I think so.
Just grabbing the mail here.
-Yes, yes. Very good. -Hey! Hey, pupper.
How are you doing, sweetie?
- Say hello. - Yeah.
- You be a good girl, okay? - Bye.
Bye.
-Good morning, Mr. West. -Oh, good morning, Grace.
- Good morning. - Ah, right on time, as usual.
Always.
Oh, here, here, let me-- let me.
-No! -Let me help you with that.
No, no. You don't have to.
-No, no, no. My pleasure. -Oh, thank you.
Come on. So, uh, how was your weekend?
Oh, really good, I went to the fair.
The fair.
And guess what, I had my first funnel cake.
-You're kidding. -No, I did, it was really good.
I love those things.
- You know, I could eat them... - Amazing.
...all day long.
Same, they're very dangerous.
Yes. Yes, they are.
...US Treasury since hired equity investors
straight from the sidelines
after several tech companies slashed their outlook
and revived worries about...
It's-- Iced tea for you.
-Thanks. -Yeah.
Thank you, Grace,
for keeping my dear Miriam as beautiful
as she always was.
You're very welcome, Mr. West.
I've...
I miss her.
Me too.
And this is your-- your son, Michael.
-It is Michael. -Yeah.
What is-- What's he up to these days?
Wouldn't know.
Hello, Miss Bennett.
Take a walk with me.
It's a lot of money, Miss Bennett.
It is, but you know I'm good for it.
Did I not come through the last time?
You did.
But that was a third of what you're asking for now.
You do realize that when the risk goes up,
so does the rate.
I take it we have a deal then.
A quarter interest and a three-week payback guarantee.
Mr. Vargas, come on now.
A quarter interest?
That's the deal.
Or there is no deal.
Deal.
You're a very pretty girl, Miss Bennett,
and I like you a lot.
Which is why it breaks my heart to say that
if you fail me on this deal,
I will have no choice but to chop you up
and throw what's left of you into the Pacific.
They'll find pieces of you floating to the shore
from Malibu to Santa Monica.
Do you understand what I'm saying, Miss Bennett?
Yeah, I get it.
Good.
Then I look forward to seeing you again shortly.
Make the transaction.
Right this way, miss.
Wife's happy, kids are good.
Yeah, let me call you right back.
Is it done?
Done.
The funds have already been transferred.
Sam, I got a lot riding on this.
We have three weeks,
and we've got a good track record,
so I'm counting on you to make this happen.
This new Qcoin
is the hottest thing since Ether,
and we're gonna make millions.
Well, we'll see.
You okay?
Yeah.
Just needed a brain break.
Wow.
The city of angels.
Come a long way from Delaware, huh?
Yeah, I guess so.
Still have a long way to go, though.
Yes, we do.
At least we've made some progress, right?
My father started his manufacturing company
30 years ago with 10 grand, which wasn't much.
His first warehouse staff was my mother and two aunts.
They worked no less than 12 hours a day.
It was hard work, but they didn't seem to mind.
What kept them motivated was
thinking about how they never wanted
their kids to live in a world where they had to struggle.
30 years, his company grew to become
the largest manufacturing company on the East Coast.
Not bad for a man who grew up poor.
Nice story, but are you ever gonna see any of that money?
Most likely I will after he passes.
Try not to think about that, though.
We haven't been on...
good speaking terms, the past few years.
But at the end of the day, he's still my father.
Hey. Gonna be okay.
This is just a...
small bump in the road.
I hope you're right.
I really do.
Today, a massive sell-off of cryptocurrency
has shaken the markets, erasing more than $200 billion
from the entire market in a single crash.
Bitcoin is down more than 60% from the high.
One minute it looks like the market's gonna drop,
the next minute it looks like the market's gonna rise,
and I don't know what in the world is going on,
so I'm done. That's it.
The price of Bitcoin has dropped
to its lowest level in 14 months.
The second largest digital currency, Ether,
has dropped below $2,000 a coin.
The numbers have left some investors panicking,
fearing they could lose it all.
In total, it seems
unreal to say, but I'm down about $45,000.
I actually lost a huge portion of--
Talk to me, Sam.
It's gone.
How do you mean it's gone?
We lost it all.
We?
We didn't lose anything.
You...
Shit!
All right, Sam, where are you?
We need to sit down and figure this out.
I can be at the usual spot in 20 minutes.
Okay, I'll see you soon.
You good?
Yeah, I'm good.
Sure about that?
I said I'm fine.
What's up?
Got it.
I handled it.
Autumn! Hurry up!
You've been in there at least an hour and a half.
I'm almost done.
You better be.
You're not the only one living in this house.
The world doesn't revolve around you.
-About damn time. -Sorry.
You better watch that tone.
You're wasting your time thinking a made-up face
and a Hollywood hairstyle
is gonna get you anything in this world.
The only thing that will get you
is fake friends and people who just wanna take from you.
Oh, God, here we go again.
You do realize I am a grown woman now?
I can handle my own.
A grown woman?
Little girl, the only thing you are is a damn fool.
You know what? I don't have time for this.
Don't you turn your back on me when I'm talking to you.
What do you want from me, Mom?
You know, ever since Dad left,
I can't help it that you've been angry with the whole damn world.
The least you can do is fix yourself up,
maybe go out every once in a while
instead of sitting around this house all the damn time.
Don't you tell me how to live.
If you don't like the way I live my life,
maybe you should just get your shit and get the hell out.
I'm way ahead of you.
We already signed a lease.
To be honest, I'm surprised I stayed this long.
But I guess somewhere in the back of my mind,
I kept thinking maybe, just maybe,
I'd be able to save you from complete and self-destruction.
I was wrong.
You won't have to worry about seeing me ever again.
Good. Get the hell out.
And I'm not taking care of your baggage.
Oh, I'll take care of Aaron.
Better than you ever took care of me.
So what's all this I'm hearing about you quitting
and going out on your own?
Not now, Dad.
What do you-- do you think it's easy,
to start from the bottom of the barrel?
But you don't have any capital.
How-- wha-- How do you plan to fund it?
We'll get the funding.
We?
Oh, I see. I see.
That, uh, damn Autumn girl
has gotten to your head again, huh?
What-- what makes you think that
she's the type that would help you succeed?
Uh-- Son, listen to me. Forget this.
Forget this. Listen.
Listen to what I'm trying to tell you.
This is a very bad idea.
California has some of
the highest tax rates in the country.
You're-- you're not gonna make it unless you have
a solid, established business presence behind you.
Why don't you just come out and say how you really feel?
You don't think I can do it without you.
That's exactly what I mean.
You know what you...
You need to squash this... this foolish idea right now!
We're done here, Dad.
You walk out on me now, and you are finished here.
Forever. Do you understand that?
Do you get me?
I said we're done here.
Hey, Dad. It's me.
Uh, give me a call back when you get this.
Bye.
Let it be?
Oh, just... very long day.
I need a drink, a hot bath, and sleep.
And in that order.
Look, I didn't mean to pry before.
You just seemed so upset.
I know it's been super stressful,
trying to figure out how to come up with the money.
We're gonna come out on top.
This isn't our first rodeo.
Michael, don't take this the wrong way.
You know, you're a good guy. You have a good heart.
But that's not what's gonna save this company.
Look, it takes a willingness
to make the hard choices that aren't always so...
nice and charming.
Of all people, I thought you'd understand that by now.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Look around you, Autumn.
I'm literally the last person standing with you.
My own dad won't even talk to me
because when he needed me most, I was too busy
helping you trying to build this damn company.
Oh, brother, cry me a river.
Now he wants sympathy?
You know what, Autumn?
No, go ahead.
Say what you were gonna say.
Seeing you be a little more assertive and straightforward
would be good for a change.
I've got nothing else to say to you, Autumn.
Going to bed.
That's right.
Be a passive coward.
It's what you're used to, right?
What in the world is all this?
I know, I know it's a bit much, but come on, take a seat.
Okay, Autumn, you-- you never cook.
What's going on?
Michael, I'm really sorry about last night.
You know how I get
when I get all worked up about things, but--
It's still no excuse for the things I said.
It's all good.
Don't even sweat it. It's no big deal.
No, Michael, I appreciate it how you're always
so easy to let things go, but it is a big deal.
This breakfast is a big deal,
but an argument between two best friends,
it comes with the territory.
Thanks for always being so understanding.
That's what real friends do, right?
Right.
Anyways, dig in. Before it gets cold.
Not overdone?
You make this yourself?
No, I ordered takeout.
Ah, would have been my guess.
I'll make it.
Hm.
Mr. West, I'm here.
Mr. West?
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Come on!
Mr. West?
Oh...
911, what is your emergency?
Yes, please help.
It's Mr. West.
There's so much blood--
What?
Hello? Who is this?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, what? What-- what happened?
Hey, I-- I'll be on the first flight out.
There's no more flights out of LAX today?
Great.
Michael, what's going on?
Something's happened with my father.
God, is he okay?
I don't have all the details yet,
but it doesn't sound good.
I'm booking the first flight out now.
No, you go get packed.
I'll take care of booking us a flight.
Us? Uh, no.
I appreciate it, but you have so much to do.
What kind of friend would I be
if I let my best friend deal with this alone?
Now, you go get packed.
I got this.
Thank you.
Cabin crew, prepare for landing.
I'll never really be able to forget
seeing Mr. West like that.
I just really don't understand.
How long have you been working for Mr. West?
Since after college, right out of college.
He was the one who gave me my first job.
It was really like family.
Have you noticed any changes to his behavior more recently?
After his wife passed.
He tried to hide it from me, but...
I did notice that he did start to drink.
A lot.
But I-- I thought that that was just his way
of trying to cope and deal with the grief.
But I, I, it's just-- I-- I still can't
get my head around Mr. West killing himself.
That does-- it does not make any sense to me.
Okay.
Now, the first step would be to
register your business as an LLC.
Now of all the options we have open to us,
the LLC is the best choice.
Because what it does,
it protects your personal assets...
-Mm-hmm. -...against any, uh,
legal action, any litigation or whatever that may occur.
You can never tell nowadays.
And the second thing we're going to need is a business name.
That business name will be filed with
the Prothonotary Office of the State.
Okay? Have you thought of a name?
Well, I-- I guess we can use the one that I've been using,
which is Grace's Cleaning Solutions.
-Yes. -That is-- That's very clever.
I get that.
-Cleaning Solu-- -Did you?
Cleaning Solutions Okay, we got that.
-Good. Now... -Okay.
...first thing in the morning,
I want you to call Esther, my secretary.
She'll help you with all the papers
that you need to file for the state.
Okay?
And any of the upfront fees,
we will take care of it.
And get your brand new LLC filed with the State of Delaware.
Thank you for helping me set all of this up.
No, really.
You have no idea how-- how much I appreciate it.
Don't-- Don't even worry about it.
You've worked so hard, that's the least I can do.
- When you talk to Esther... - Mm-hmm?
...she has some incredible programs
for accounting.
You'll probably want to do that to keep track
of your expenses and your salaries
because you're going to be hiring a whole lot of people.
Currently it appears that there was no foul play, but obviously,
it's way too early in the investigation to know that.
Michael, I'm sorry about your dad, man.
He was a good man to the community,
and I've known him since I was a little kid.
You'll be assured that if anything comes out,
any new information, you'll be the first to know.
Meanwhile, if you need anything,
don't hesitate to call, all right?
-Thank you, Detective Wali. -You're welcome.
Stay strong, brother.
Take care.
Hey. You okay?
Any information?
Detective Wali said they don't suspect any foul play.
It's still hard to fathom my father would take his own life.
You know, things weren't the same for him after Mom died.
Should've been there for him.
Hey, you can't blame yourself.
Your father was a good man, and he raised a good son.
You know, whatever differences the two of you had,
I'm sure he wouldn't want you blaming yourselves.
Rest in peace, Pop.
So long, Mr. West.
Good afternoon, Michael. Nice to see you again.
-It's been a while. -Attorney Cheryl, how are you?
All is well, considering the circumstances.
Can I get you a cup of coffee or something?
Oh, no, thank you.
Please, have a seat.
Here it is.
Your father's last will and testament.
Would you like me to walk you through it?
Oh, that's okay.
I don't want to take up your day.
My father never minced words.
I'm sure it's very direct and to the point.
Well, if you have any questions,
please don't hesitate to call me.
Thank you, Attorney Cheryl.
As always, you've done my family a great service.
You take care of yourself, Michael.
And I'm very sorry about your father.
I appreciate it.
I'll get out of your hair.
I know I haven't been there the past few years...
Dad, I am sorry.
I have a very important meeting. I can't be late for it.
Please tell Mom I'm sorry I couldn't make it home
this past weekend.
I'll do my best to get there as soon as I can.
I-- I gotta go, Dad.
Gotta go.
Miss Ivanova, thank you for your patience.
So what is-- what is this all about?
You said on the phone that it had
something to do with Mr. West and his will?
I'm sorry I couldn't answer all your questions by phone.
I'll be able to explain more in detail today.
Thank you, because I-- I have no idea what any of this means.
These things can definitely be a bit complex,
but in a nutshell,
Mr. West basically left you all his assets.
Wait a minute.
What do you mean?
What do you mean Mr. West left me all of his assets?
He left you everything,
which includes his businesses,
his house, property, and his personal bank accounts.
Everything still has to be appraised,
but I can assure you that
Mr. West's assets are worth millions.
Miss Ivanova, you are in a situation
that is highly unusual,
as the will generally names the next of kin as sole heir.
Which should be his son, correct?
Correct.
However, Michael West has been strictly named to receive
only any assets left in the home of Mr. West.
Family heirlooms, clothing, things of that nature.
How--
Okay, uh...
I've only known Mr. West for-- for a few years, I--
Why would he leave me everything that he has and--
and barely give anything to his own son?
Why would he do something like that?
You obviously had an impact on him,
and he felt that you were the only person he could
trust to carry on his legacy.
I really appreciate this very kind gesture,
but...
I really don't want any trouble.
Is-- Is there any-- any other family that he has?
He has family, right? Other people?
Miss Ivanova, what you are feeling is completely normal.
I've been doing this a long time,
and I've seen the worst come out in families,
fighting over who gets what after a loved one has passed.
What I can assure you is that you may experience
some pushback, but give it some time.
Usually, once people's emotions have subsided,
these things usually work themselves out.
So... what happens now?
We will immediately begin the appraisal process.
Once it's done, we will call you in for another meeting to
officially execute the last will and testament
and transfer complete control
of all assets and financial interests to you.
Let me make sure I'm understanding this correctly.
He left it all to some girl named Grace Ivanova
and all you get are the personal items left in the house?
But we haven't been on good terms for a while now.
The will states the only way it legally reverts back to me is
if this Grace Ivanova girl kicks the bucket before I do.
Who is this girl anyway?
She was my father's house cleaner.
That's just great.
Here's a classic rags to riches story for you.
Look, I know
your father had a personal vendetta against you,
but you are still his son.
You rightfully deserved it all, not some random house cleaner.
You could have been set for the rest of your life,
but instead all you walk away with is some junk.
That junk is priceless family heirlooms.
Your call has been forwarded
to an automatic voice messa--
Hey there.
We need to make a little visit to see Miss Bennett.
Michael, someone's here.
Hello, good morning.
Attorney Cheryl said I should probably be expecting you.
Uh, you're-- you're Michael West.
I am.
-I'm-- -Grace Ivanova, right?
Yep, that is me.
This is Autumn.
Hello, Autumn. Nice to meet you.
Michael, I'm very sorry about Mr. We-- Um, your dad.
I really did not know that he was in that much pain.
Yeah, me either.
You must have been close.
He was a very good man.
He helped me a lot with my business, too.
He must have seen something special in you.
Look, I had no idea he was going to put me in the will.
I-- He did not say any of that to me.
- I really don't know-- - I left.
When I should have been here.
You were there for him. I wasn't.
Yeah, that's because you were out in L.A.
creating your own business, Michael.
Autumn, enough!
I was almost finished here, actually.
I will get out of your hair.
Again, I'm very sorry.
I guess we can...
...start with the bedrooms and work our way out.
How are we going to get all this stuff back to L.A.?
I'll take back what I can.
The rest I'll put in storage until I can
make arrangements to have it shipped back.
This was the first house Mom and Dad bought
after they got married.
Turned out, I don't know how many solicitors were trying
to get them out of here and move them into a mansion.
They believed that as long as they had each other,
it's all they needed.
You all right?
Yeah, this was a watch I got Dad for his 50th birthday.
I was so happy that day.
During his toast, he said to me...
Son, someday the family business will be all yours.
Now, I-- I don't want you to be so focused on chasing a dream
that you forget to live.
And don't ever, ever forget the true importance in life.
Well, maybe his dream wasn't big enough.
Look, um, I have to head out for a little bit.
You gonna be okay by yourself for a few hours?
Yeah, sure.
I am sorry, Michael.
Hi, Brian.
Aaron, your mother's here.
You got him for two hours, nothing more.
If you go one minute over this time, I'm calling the police.
Can you ever just be civil? I'm just here to see my son.
Look, I'm just trying to make sure you understand
what court order means.
Yeah, Brian, I got it.
-Hi, Mom! -Hey, buddy.
-You ready to go? -Yep.
-All right, let's go. -See you soon, buddy.
Still keeping up your grades?
-Yep. -That's good.
That's what I like to hear.
Mommy only wants what's best for you.
Daddy set me up for football.
Did he now?
Well, Daddy and I are just gonna have a little talk about that.
Can't have my handsome little man getting all banged up.
Hey, I heard you had an incident at school.
You wanna tell me what happened?
It's this kid named Grant.
He pushed me at recess.
Why would he do that?
He's a bully.
You have to stand up to bullies.
You can't let them push you around or else
they think they can do it to you your whole life, okay?
Okay.
I think karate would be better for you than football.
When can I come stay with you?
Oh, hopefully soon, buddy.
Daddy and I are trying to work that out right now.
It's just... taking a little longer than I expected.
That's not something you need to worry about, though.
Mommy's always gonna do whatever it takes
to give you the best life.
-Hey. -Hm?
You wanna get a smoothie from Wawa?
-And a hot dog? -Yeah, and a hot dog.
You can get whatever you want.
First one to the car wins, though.
This should be fine.
- Hey, cuz! - Hey, Kim.
How the hell are you? Did I catch you at a bad time?
No, just going through some of Dad's things.
Oh, that was such a shock.
I'm so sorry we couldn't make the funeral.
How are you holding up?
I think I'm still trying to process everything.
Understandably.
How's Richard and the twins?
Jeez, how old are those little guys anyway?
Richard's good.
He's been working his ass off lately.
And Jack and Benny are not so little anymore.
They just turned 12 last week.
Twelve?
Last time I saw them, they were basically in diapers.
Yeah, well, that's what happens when you go MIA.
How's, um, what's her name?
Autumn?
You know her name.
She's good.
Same determined girl she's always been.
I just don't think she's good for you.
And I know your dad didn't either.
She's headstrong, but she's a good person.
If you say so.
It's just...
Do you want to continue giving up your life
and missing out on things just for a career?
We have a dream.
I don't think there's anything wrong with chasing that dream.
There's not.
Until that dream starts to consume you.
Um, when do you head back to L.A.?
Uh, we head back tomorrow afternoon.
I wish you were here longer.
We would all really love to have seen you.
Yeah, that would have been nice.
We just have so much going on with the business right now.
-We gotta get back. -Yeah.
Look, I... I know we haven't talked a lot recently,
but we're family.
So, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
I know. I appreciate that.
Well, I'll let you go.
But don't disappear again for years on end, all right?
- I won't. - All right, see you.
- Love you. - Love you too.
What the hell?
What?
Please don't tell me the power went out.
Miss Bennett.
Ignoring my phone calls.
That's so impolite.
Autumn? Who is this?
Huh? What's going on here?
Please, have a seat.
I insist.
What have you gotten us into?
The lioness.
She's an interesting beast.
She's subtle, yet strong.
She's not as fast as the gazelle is, however.
Which is why she crouches and takes its time
as it inches closer and closer to it.
And then, when the gazelle least expects it,
she pounces and digs her shark claws into its throat.
When the game is over,
the lion is a different kind of a beast.
He's not usually the hunter.
His job is to protect, at all costs,
everything that belongs to him.
He may be strong and fierce,
but every now and again, that which belongs to him
is taken away.
And he must do everything
to get back that which was taken from him.
Miss Bennett, you came to me
and we made a deal
for two and a half million dollars at a quarter interest.
And I have yet to get my end of the deal.
And you ignoring my phone calls?
Am I correct in assuming that you need more time
to deliver what belongs to me?
Just give me a week.
I swear to God I'll get it.
Huh.
You get three days, Miss Bennett.
Three days.
And if you fail me again,
or you trying to make contact with the police...
this handsome little fellow
and this beautiful family
will become collateral damage.
Don't get my son involved in this.
Well, I hope I don't have to.
Three days, Miss Bennett.
How could you go behind my back like this?
I thought we were building this business together.
Huh? No? Is that not still the case?
With threatening our families?
You think I don't know that?
So where's the money, Autumn?
What happened to it?
It's gone.
How is 2.5 million dollars just gone?
I'm sorry, with a quarter percent interest.
I made a bad investment, okay?
Things fell through and...
I lost it.
Wow. That's unbelievable.
I mean, has any of this been true?
Our friendship, this business?
Michael, listen, I know I fucked up.
Okay? You're right.
I should have consulted you first.
Yeah, you should have.
How in the hell are we supposed to come up
with millions of dollars in three days?
Do you know how much your father's
estate and total assets are worth?
-Why? -Because that's millions
of dollars we desperately need right now
and I believe rightfully belongs to you.
You saw the will, you know the only way I'll see
any of that money is if Grace dies before I do.
Exactly.
I can't even believe what you're thinking right now.
Listen, Michael.
I know people who can take care of this quickly and quietly.
Right? You never even have to get your hands dirty.
We are not going to kill this innocent girl
just to dig us out of a hole you created.
Do you have a better idea?
It's our only choice.
Either we get this money or they're all dead.
Look, I can arrange everything.
Once it's done, I'll show Vargas the will
that'll buy us a few days
until all the assets are legally transferred to you.
Michael...
We can finally have the life we always dreamed of.
You're a conniving, sick and heartless woman
and I want nothing else to do with this green dream of yours.
Once all this is over, you and I are done.
- Hey. - It's me.
I need a blackout flight to Delaware
as soon as possible.
Look, that's going to cost you at least 50 grand.
And you know I'm good for it.
Just give me two weeks.
Autumn, I'm not in the charity business.
Did I throw charity in your face
when our company helped you get that defense contract?
All right, all right.
So, I'll make all the arrangements.
Good.
I'll meet you at the hangar in two hours.
Must be important for you to come all the way out here.
I have something big for you.
Yeah, I hope it's the money you owe me.
Have I ever not come through for you?
You still owe me for the last two jobs.
It's business, Autumn.
Have you forgotten who was the one who took you
from nickel and dime, two-bit hustles
and paid you some real bank?
The least you could do is show some appreciation.
It'll be your biggest payday yet.
Enough for both of us to disappear.
Now, can I count on you?
You must be in over your head,
because you're either crazy or you're desperate.
And we both know that's not a good position to be in.
You fall through on this, you know what happens.
Don't try to threaten me.
I'm not the one who's drowning.
Last one.
Got it.
Autumn?
Nice to see you again, Grace.
What is going on here?
Just decided to stop by for a little visit.
Drink up.
Look, unless you'd like your brains splattered
all over this nice furniture, I suggest you drink up.
All of it.
Now, in about 20 seconds, your complete nervous system
will begin to shut down and your muscles will become paralyzed.
Oh, you'll feel everything.
But you won't be able to make a noise
about that of a faint whisper.
Now, of course, in 30 minutes,
your body will begin to regain complete functionality.
But by then, it'll be too late.
Whoops.
Do you know how much trouble you've caused me?
You see, when Mr. West left you all his money,
that really threw a monkey wrench into my plans.
Honestly, this all should have been done the first time
I sent my associate down here to take care of business.
Did you get the address?
Got it.
Good.
Check your email, too.
Contact me when it's done.
Whatever it takes.
Don't move.
So you see how your involvement in all this
really complicated things for me?
Light it up.
You see, Grace,
when they find your body beneath all this rubble,
you'll be unrecognizable.
And the only explanation for what will have happened
will be... faulty wiring.
Michael?
What the hell are you doing here?
Took the first red eye out.
Couldn't let you do this.
I heard everything, Autumn.
Michael, stop this.
Okay? We're in this together.
I told you I'd do whatever it takes to save what we built.
You had my father killed!
Michael your father was already dead.
It was only a matter of time
before he drank himself to death.
I did him a favor.
And look, now he's truly at peace with your mother.
If you call the police, we both go down.
Is that what you want?
We can still salvage all of this.
Stay back, Autumn.
You don't have it in you to shoot me.
I said stop.
Michael, give me the gun.
I did this for us.
No.
You did this for you.
The police should be here any minute now
and our stories have to corroborate.
You and Autumn were visiting to collect
your father's remaining items.
There was a home invasion.
Autumn was shot.
And I shot and killed the intruder.
You're willing to let Autumn get away with this?
Why would you do that?
Cause that's the only story that the investigators will buy.
What happened to Autumn is...
truly tragic.
But that's what can happen to a person
if they let the light in their soul go out.
Your father was a great man.
And I'm not-- I'm not going to let the hate
from what Autumn did tarnish his legacy.
You saved my life and I owe you for that, Michael.
So I'm going to give you a second chance.
You should take it.
Good morning. It's a beautiful day here
in the city of Wilmington.
Today's weather is expected to be mostly clear skies
and temperatures delightfully hovering in the mid 80s.
Michael, one day we're going to leave
this old town and make it big.
-Where are we going, Autumn? -New York, maybe.
Chicago, maybe. Even L.A.
I hear it never gets cold in L.A.
It just feels like summer year round.
That's where we'll go then.
We'll head out west and be as rich as Bill Gates
- and as famous as... - Oprah Winfrey.
Let's make a deal.
One day we'll be as rich as Bill Gates
and as famous as Oprah Winfrey.
