That's what this is about.
I need to go away for a couple of days, Bridge.
- Where are you going? - Someplace I can think.
What'd it cost you to get me out? So I had a contract drawn up to buy you and your services and your company lock, stock, and barrel.
Sign there and there.
It didn't cost me a fucking thing.
You'll be expected for work tomorrow morning.

Get you one of those ones with a timer.
That way you wake up, it's already brewed.
How did you get me out? Will you stop with that? No, I'm worried, Ray.
I owe you something, I need to know what it is.
No, you don't.
Fine.
Get me a new coffeemaker.
Actually, what I really need is a new fucking car.
Jeez, you move fast.

Suitcase and everything.

Where's my little Terry? There he is.
Good to have you home.
Back in the gym.
How does it feel? - Yeah? - Casey needs to be at the studio for a meeting at 10 a.
m.
- Who's this? - Varick Strauss.
He's not reachable on his phone, so you'll need to pick him up.
- Got an address? - It's 467 Laurel View Drive.
Just above the chateau.
All right.
You wouldn't believe what your brother and I had to do to get you out.
What did you have to do? Well, we pulled off a few tricks.
I got to get dressed.
Thanks.
You should get ready.
Need a little more time.
Gonna take another swim.
All right.
I've already alerted Paige and Casey.
So un-alert them.
I'm just reminding you that Mr.
Liu's made a solid first offer, and Paige thinks that they're driving towards a deal.
We're talking about selling yet another American institution to a foreign company.
I need a little more time.
Abby.
Abby.
Wake up.
Oh, Jesus fucking Christ, Margaret.
I was gonna stop by and see you this morning.
Sure you were.
Hey.
I got to go to the bank.
You want to come along? We're fucking fine.
You don't need to get in the middle.
Dave says you're leaving Ray.
Ohh I got drunk last night.
I probably said a lot of things.
So it's not true? How's Lauren? Flunking out of college.
Dating an asshole.
Sound familiar? She's stopping by for lunch.
Mind if I stick around and say hi? The f I kind of hoped I'd never see you again.
Yeah, well, that makes two of us.
What are you doing here? You got a meeting at 10 a.
m.
You mean my execution? I don't know what you're talking about.
Paige is trying to sell my studio to some Chinese dude.
I don't want to be there for that.
Get in the fucking shower.
Holy shit.
You really did it.
Did you remember FIFA? Yeah.
But holy shit! - Calm down.
Just get in.
- Okay.
Hi.
Aren't you a freshman? Yeah.
Then what are you doing driving this car? Yeah.
You're way too young to drive this car.
What are you really doing? My parents are gone.
All day? Yeah.
Don't leave yet.
What's your address? Holy shit! So you're working for my dad full-time now? What's your job description, exactly? Just get the cigarettes.
You're late.
What kind of cereal do your kids eat, Ray? - What? - Cereal.
Breakfast, you know, uh, you know, what do they have? - I don't know.
- That's sad.
Breakfast used to be a family meal.
You know, when I was growing up, it was it was all about Trix.
Trix the Rabbit.
Man, that bunny was too clever.
Could outsmart anybody.
Yeah? - Did you pick up Casey? - I got him.
Well, there's been a delay, so you can bring him back home.
What? The meeting's been cancelled, Mr.
Donovan.
I'm just keeping you in the loop.
The eyes You see how they draw the characters' eyes? Staring straight down at the kids, so they can tug on Mom's arm and make her buy a box.
The cigarette companies, right, they had, um Joe Camel.
They had the Marlboro Man.
These kids now, they have Captain Crunch, Count Chocula.
Talk about fucking IP.
Meeting's been canceled.
Why don't you go home and get some rest? Rest? Are you fucking kidding me? We got to get this thing on its feet.
So you actually slept on Uncle Dave's couch last night? - Yeah.
- That's brave.
So you on vacation? Yeah, I haven't been home for a while, so you know.
How's Bridget and Cooper? Conor.
Conor! Sorry.
They're fine.
Hey, you do your paper? It's not due till four.
So what's going on with the bar? It's losing money.
Dad went into assisted living last year, so it all went to that.
What's Dave gonna do? I don't know.
We'll figure it out.
I got to get to work.
I got three clients waiting.
Yeah, you know, I should get to the airport too.
Ray and the kids will be worried about me.
Bye, Abby.
See you next time.
Paper.
On it.
Shot for the road? You're good, sir.
Do you need anything else? No, I'm good.
Get in.
All right.
Thanks for helping with Casey.
He's still finding his way.
That is Mr.
Liu.
Probably made every cell phone you've ever owned.
Now he wants to try his hand at running a movie studio.
How's your brother doing? Good.
Of course he is.
He's a free man.
Who the fuck are you, anyway? Chief of Staff for the Finney Organization.
Yeah? How'd you get that? I married his daughter.
Come with me.
Candace, put Ray at the end of the hall, please.
- Of course.
- Oh, look who's here.
Ray Donovan.
Where's Father? He said to push the meeting with Mr.
Liu.
- Why? - I don't know, Paige.
The fuck you don't.
What did you say to him? Nothing.
His phone is off.
He's playing games.
Should I let Mr.
Liu know there's been a delay? I will tell him.
You tell my father that we're having the meeting today, regardless.
I'm sure he'll pick up when you call.
Candace.
Trix the Rabbit.
He's suave.
He's sophisticated.
He's an international spy.
You follow me here? Okay, so now, the rabbit, he's wearing a suit.
- No, a tuxedo.
- Yeah? He's got a martini glass in his hand, and he's chasing down this Russian terrorist.
And they're in Monte Carlo, and it's over a high-stakes game of baccarat, hmm? Hey, pal.
How's it going? I'm not feeling so good.
It's a stomach thing.
All right.
Where's Mom? - She left.
- What? I don't know.
Vacation, I guess.
What are you talking about? - She just left? - Yeah, she just left.
I better get back to the bathroom, Dad.
All right.
I'll call you later.
All right.
We're good.
Are you sure these girls are coming? Of course I'm sure, man.
Where's your confidence? Who are they? I'm Dylan.
That's Zach.
They're chill.
Can we come in? Dude, this is nice.
- I'm I'm Eddie.
- Hi.
I saw a guy get shot in that booth with a .
22.
Holy shit, really? Everybody thought it was firecrackers.
He died.
Mike Nicollini.
Yeah, Dad dragged him out and, uh, left him on the front stoop for the ambulance to pick up.
When was the last time you saw Grandpa? It's better I don't.
I just make him mad.
Why? Did your mom ever tell you that I lost my virginity to a cripple? Hey, I wasn't in this chair when all that went down.
No, you were a beautiful fucking man.
You still are.
Come here.
All right, fucking break it up.
Come on.
Where the hell are you? I'm in Boston.
You out of your fucking mind? What about the kids? They can look after themselves for a couple of days.
You know what? I got to meet Terry at the doctor's.
Get your ass home, Abby.
You get your ass home, you fucking hypocrite.
Beep, beep, back it up Lay it down like A cement truck Standing in the back, Back like an umpire Red tie-dye Can we look around? Sure.
Just stay out of my parents' room.
Okay.
The mission But them blues got me Thrown off my vision Yo, you got to go.
Whatever.
I see you on my radar And now You're on my radar And now you're on my radar I see you on my radar Where's Madison? - Who are you? - Tate.
What took you so long? Red tie-dye, missile Try to run, run I feel like I'm in the fucking Bellagio.
Like a satellite, Five, four, three, two, one Mr.
Donellen? Sorry to bother you.
Yes? I-I talked to my mom, and she signed off on the D.
What if I did some extra credit to bring up my grade? I don't know how it worked at your public school, but we don't do that here.
Why not? We don't pass out second chances just because you're used to getting As.
That's it, guys.
You want to bring up your grade? Stop screwing around in my class.
Show up and do the work.
What an asshole.
You should be nice to him, because he's actually really tragic.
Why? His wife died last year in a car crash.
She was decapitated, and he was driving.
You got to tell me what you did.
Jesus Christ, you're not gonna quit with this, are you? What do I owe you? Fuck, Terry.
Come on.
I made a deal to work for a guy.
Who? Andrew Finney.
You heard of him? He, uh, pulled some, uh, pulled some strings to get you out of there.
What did you have to do in return? Yeah, that's it, I just I don't really know yet, exactly.
That don't sound good.
It's not the end of the world, Terry.
Just another rich guy I'm on call for.
So he made you his servant? I heard you ain't living at home.
That's no good for you, Raymond.
I'm all right.
You're the only one of us with a chance of figuring this shit out.
- What shit? - Having a family.
Leaving something behind that's worth something.
You're the only fucking one of us strong enough, and look at what you're doing.
I heard you were coming in.
You, uh you want me to stick around? No.
I want you to go home.
Did you get that in prison? What were you thinking? Armed robbery? Assault with a deadly weapon? What the fuck were you thinking? I wanted to get us out of here.
I wanted to get the money.
Why didn't you tell me you were gonna do something so stupid? 'Cause I knew you wouldn't want me to do it.
We had something.
I trusted you.
I know.
I left my husband.
You were supposed to leave your family, not get back involved with all the things that they do.
You chose your family over me, Terry.
Hello, Terry.
Shall we get started? No.
Ray, I need to speak to you for a moment.
Mr.
Liu wants to see Spin Cycle, a game show on the lot, and Tina Harvey won't come out of her trailer.
- Who's that? - She spins the wheel.
I have to keep him entertained.
This is his favorite show.
He misses it, he might get back on his jet.
You never know what drives these men to make these deals.
Look, um about the other day I think we can both agree that it wasn't the best use of your time.
And this is? Well, it's my understanding that we bought your company and your services in their entirety.
Candace? Please show Ray where Stage Twelve is.
Thank you.
Yeah, I want to talk about the rebates.
I thought we discussed this already.
Ooh, baby, ooh! Oh, yeah, that's right I wanna get me some of that Whoa oh oh oh I wanna get me some of that Man of the hour.
Have some champagne, Ter.
Who's got the champagne? I-I got it, Pop.
Fuck that.
Give me whiskey.
There he is.
You know, this is where I met Ray.
Really? I liked shitheads.
This is where they hung out.
He was fucking fun, though.
Got us kicked out a bunch of times.
For what? Fighting.
Mostly with me.
Smashed pint glasses, the whole thing.
When you're young, you think that's love.
My boyfriend Phillipe gave me an STD.
Oh, fuck.
Fucking gave me gonorrhea.
We're supposed to go to New York next semester, and I can't tell my mom, 'cause she'll be saying, "I told you so," for the rest of my life.
Welcome to my fucking world.
Fuck me.
Look, it could be worse.
He could have got you knocked up.
Then you'd be raising a little miniature version of that asshole for the rest of your life.
He's not really an asshole.
- Yeah, he is an asshole.
- Fuck you, Dave.
Fuck you, Lauren.
Fuck you, you fucking alcoholic, huh? You've been sitting in the bar for hours getting shitfaced - Oh, fuck you! - and I'm an alcoholic? Dave, enough! Come on.
Let's get you home.
I'm looking for Tina Harvey.
Drunk bitch headquarters, right there.
So I hear you don't feel like performing today.
No, I don't.
I know the feeling.
There you go.
I went to fucking Vanderbilt.
Did you know that? No.
My girlfriend and I, we went on this open audition for a game show, as a joke, and I got the part.
It's been 34 years.
I'm gonna die spinning that fucking wheel.
Must be exhausting for you.
Sandy, the host? He has the IQ of a guinea pig.
He couldn't solve a single one of those puzzles, but last night I was invited by Mr.
Liu to a little dinner party, and he seemed to like me.
So what do you want? Well, if the new owner likes me, it's got to be worth something, right? I'm sick of being a prop.
They never let me talk, and I want to talk.
- Americano, medium.
- Sure.
- Appreciate it.
- Sure.
Thank you.
Hi.
I've been working on those proofs you gave us.
I finally figured out the linear approximations.
See you in class.
I think I deserve a modicum of leeway.
Bridget I'm having a hard time, and I'm sorry if it's affecting my calculus, but I just transferred in, and my parents are at each other's throats, and my boyfriend was murdered.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have told you that.
Got a medium Americano for Bridget.
Ray? Tommy.
How are you, Tommy? Avi told me you retired.
He did, huh? No, I'm working for the Finneys now.
You serious? I just came from a meeting with fucking Casey.
Look, I know you've done some shit in your day, but how could you work for those people? What's that supposed to mean? Come on.
Honey, look who I found.
Hi, Ray.
It's me, Chloe.
Yeah, I know.
How are you, Chloe? Ray, I want to ask you something.
Have you ever been in the kind of love that makes you realize your whole life is a lie? No.
We're getting married.
For real this time, at the Bel Air Hotel.
Congratulations.
Yeah.
Well, here's the thing.
I've got this contract with a bunch of quote-unquote moral clauses, and Casey says he'll sue me if I come out.
You know, everybody thinks this business is a bunch of radical liberals, but you fuck with the profit margin, and they'll hang you from a tree, like anywhere else.
- Tommy - I can't lie anymore, Ray.
Enough people have been hurt because I couldn't admit who I was.
You're serious.
I will walk away from this whole fucking business.
I don't care anymore.
I have to live my life.
I love Chloe, and if Casey fucking Finney doesn't understand that, then I feel sorry for him.
All right.
I'll talk to him.
Thank you, Ray.
Sure.
Captain Crunch is fighting off these Drone Berries that are blasting Earth from the dark side of the Moon.
And who's sending them? A sadistic robot butler hell-bent on revenge, after being decommissioned by the first Moon colony.
Is that awesome or what? Absolutely.
- You excuse us for a minute? - Sure.
Where have you been? Just bumped into Tommy Wheeler.
Good.
I got a problem with him.
He wants to marry a woman who used to be a man.
Yeah, I know.
He's one of our biggest assets, Ray.
Puts you in a tough spot, huh? Excuse me? Maybe you should back off.
Why the fuck would I do that? You remember how we met, Casey? Huh? You tied to a fucking chair.
Your friend lying in a pool of his own blood.
All 'cause you thought it'd be a good idea to squeeze a little extra pocket money out of your dad.
Come on, Terry.
Dance with us.
Yeah, come on, Terry.
Get up.
- It's good for you.
- I'm fine where I am.
Okay.
You don't want to dance? Okay, I got it.
Shaky leg.
Jade? Why don't you and Jade why don't you and Jade go have some fun together? She's a world-class dick sucker.
No, thanks.
All right.
Give us a second.
You see all this? Girls? Mine.
Coke? Mine.
Got something going.
I'm not interested in working for you.
I don't want you working for me.
Lord knows it didn't work out last time.
The point is I'm flush now.
I want you to let me take care of you.
Jade.
This happens every day, Paige.
It's not my problem.
Every day? We need to work on that.
Tina wants a chance to host the show.
Over my dead body.
I'm the host.
I'm not gonna be held hostage by that bimbo.
She's not coming out of her trailer unless you promise her a chance to host the show.
Paige, who is this guy? Debbie, you're up.
There.
Problem solved.
That doesn't solve your problem.
No, it doesn't.
Mr.
Liu asked specifically for Tina.
Let me make something clear to you.
Tina Harvey wears a tight dress.
She spins a fucking wheel and keeps her mouth shut.
She's a pair of tits and an arm.
Who the hell do you think you I'll go get her.
Yo, you guys got to go.
Relax, buddy.
It's early.
Yo, what the fuck are you looking at, pervert? Huh? And what do you do in St.
Louis, Roderick? I go to community college for economics, and I'm also studying to be a pilot.
- Oh, a risk taker then.
- Yes, ma'am.
You know, I'm an aviator myself, so when you get that license and you go back to St.
Louis, you have to promise me that you won't try flying under the arch, okay? All right.
Now that we've met our contestants, let's give away some money, shall we? Sandy spin that wheel! You could have had me sued, but she's good.
Are you okay? A migraine? All right, you need to lie down.
I'll take over with Mr.
Liu.
Ray, will you take my wife back to the office, please? Sure.
Each round, we will spin the wheel, and the contestants will choose a category.
And our categories for today are Presidential Politics Hey, motherfucker, come downstairs! What the fuck, dude? You're leaving, bitch.
Who you calling a bitch, bitch? I'm calling you a bitch, 'cause you are a bitch.
Bitch! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- What the fuck? - Stop! I'm calling 911, so you can either get out of my house, or you can explain yourselves to the police.
- Fucking psycho.
- Come on.
What's your real name? That is my real name.
Come on.
I was born with green eyes.
All right, I believe you.
I like your dad a lot.
He's crazy, but he's good to us.
Was he fun, growing up? Well, you never knew what you were gonna get.
Who are they? They're ex-girlfriends.
What was Frances like? She was nothing like you.
I bet she couldn't suck dick like I can.
Jesus, kid, what happened in there? Did she swallow it whole? - Fucking asshole! - Hey! Ladies, that's it.
The party's over.
Get your stuff.
We're out of here.
Somebody get her.
Look, I know why you've been upset with me.
I did a terrible thing to you.
Shouldn't have let you take all that heat.
No, no, but you did, because that's who you are.
And then you come round here with a bottle of champagne, and you want me to tell you everything is fine.
Well, it ain't.
Things are gonna get better.
You just got to trust it.
No, it's not, Mick.
You know, for me, it's gonna get a lot worse.
And you're going to stick around for that? You know, I started that business for you kids.
I want to leave a legacy.
Whores and coke? Yeah, and when the shakes get real bad, I promise not to go anywhere.
God, I got these fucking braces 'cause I thought they'd help the headaches, but they only make it worse.
There's a surgery, but I just haven't had any time.
You do know why my dad hired you, Ray? No.
Because he doesn't want to have to face the fucking things he's done.
It's time.
We should convene in the conference room.
Mr.
Finney asked that you be there as well.
- Hi, everybody.
- I have a pitch.
- Cambodia.
- Casey A swift boat skims across the Saigon River, Tony the Tiger at the helm.
- Casey - Dad, I have one for him, Trix the Rabbit, Captain Crunch Casey, Casey, I'm not selling the studio.
- Yes! - What? I have been on the phone for the past six months with investment bankers, and I have been traveling back and forth from Shanghai.
What are you talking about? Sorry, I've made up my mind.
You're gonna have to tell Mr.
Liu the studio's off the table.
Well, I need to talk to you first.
Now.
Fucking A.
Wait, wait, wait.
Do you think we can get Tommy Wheeler to play Captain Crunch? I mean, it's got to be worth a GLAAD award, right? Right, Ray? Huh? No, you listen.
Tell him to enjoy his New York whores.
Yeah, and I hope your New York whores enjoy your disease-ridden dick.
I really, really liked him.
Why was he such an asshole? He was such an asshole.
Sweetheart, come here.
Oh.
Yeah.
Hello? Don't say anything.
I won't, I promise.
Thought you had a flight.
I missed it.
So you got my daughter drunk instead? She was supposed to turn in her paper.
So what? She doesn't have to be a fucking bookkeeper.
No, she doesn't.
But I don't want her depending on a man the rest of her life either.
Why don't you stay a few days? Maybe it'd be good for the both of us.
Look at how tired you are.
Let me take care of you.
Come on.
You can have your old room back.
I need you one more minute.
Bring Mr.
Liu to the conference room.
We're selling.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, I heard Paige out.
I see where this is going.
I'll get him.
You shut the door, Ray? A good family business is not the same thing as a good family, Mr.
Donovan.
Paige has a plan to use the proceeds from the sale of the studio to bring an NFL team to Los Angeles and build the grandest stadium ever imagined.
What do you want? Oh, she no longer sees me as her father.
She sees me as an opponent, something in the way of her ascension.
Can you imagine that? No.
That's why, from this point on, this things get more complicated, remember that.
Remember that you work only for me.
Hmm? He's here.
Ahh.
I'm sorry I put my name on your office.
You want me to take it down? What? I can leave.
Stay at Pop's.
No, you you take the bed.
I don't sleep anymore anyway.
Where were you? Work.
Conor skipped school today.
Not that you care.
Yeah, well, your mother should have been here.
- Are you getting a divorce? - I don't know.
Are you in love with someone else? No.
Look, you don't have to babysit us.
If you're happier gone, you should just get in your car and go to your apartment.
Hey.
Come here.
No.
Remember when we used to choreograph dance sequences to Like a Virgin in here? I remember sneaking out the window.
He's a dangerous fucking guy.
But you don't have to stay with him.
You can change things whenever the fuck you want, Abby.
Get some sleep.
It'll all look better in the morning.
Cradle will fall And down come baby Cradle and all Now I know you need The dark - Yeah? - Can we meet? What's going on? I want to meet face-to-face.
I want to explain a few things.
I can't meet with you, Paige.
But you signing on forever My father is going to tell you lies about me, and he's going to ask you to do cruel things to me.
Do you even care about that? I work for your father.
I don't work for you.
