(male announcer) Previously on Satisfaction...
I have never stopped loving you, which is why I want you
to resolve this thing with your father before he dies.
Stage four. And it's everywhere.
Simon, it's Neil. I wanted to talk to you about a business proposal.
Starting a new business on my block, I don't even get a phone call?
If we're going to play in the same sandbox,
we're going to need to establish some ground rules.
(Adriana) Separation papers. I had my lawyer draw them up.
This is a new beginning for you, Grace, and I'm so happy you're here.
But if Neil's signature is forged, are the papers even legal?
Why don't you let me worry about that?
You did everything you could to break us apart, but it only really proves one thing.
And what might that be?
(Neil) That you have absolutely no idea what it is to really love another person.
[Both moan]
[Gentle piano music]
[Electronic beeping]
[Sniffs]
- Hi, Mom. - Hey.
Where are you?
Oh, I'm just in a hotel for the time being.
Where are you?
Uh, didn't you get my postcard?
[Sighs]
You all right?
Yeah, I'm fine. It's just, um...
- The migraines are back? - Yeah.
So who are all those people?
Uh, new friends.
All your new friends smoke?
Uh, relax. It's just weed.
Great. I feel much better.
Really, Mom?
Like I'm the only one in this family who smokes weed?
[Squeals]
- Cody! - Anika, should I be worried?
Seems like a lot of craziness going on out there.
I'm fine, Mom.
The real question is, should I be worried about you?
Living out of a suitcase.
How come Dad gets the house and you're just transient?
It's just temporary, okay? We're...
We're trying to figure out...
Look, your dad and I are...
- Anika. Julian. - Yeah, yeah.
I'm coming, I'm coming. Uh, I've gotta go.
- Honey, wait. - But go to the doctor.
There are all kinds of new treatments for migraines.
- Love you. Bye. - [Phone chimes]

[Metal clang]
You miss her.
Has Neil Truman called?
No.
Are you expecting him to?
[Metal clang]
- There you are. - Mona, good.
I need you to order a few things for me.
- Victor's been looking for you. - Write this down.
A carburetor kit for a 1962 Austin Healy 3000,
new exhaust manifold seals, and brake kits wouldn't hurt either.
- Car parts? - And make sure everything
- fits a 2.6-liter engine. - Okay.
- It's about time. - Uh, it's 9:15.
Fire drill today? What's going on?
- Who's in the conference room? - SEC. We're shut down.
What?
Seems they got a credible tip we've been laundering money.
A tip? From who?
I don't know, Truman. You tell me.
You think I had something to do with this?
These things don't just happen.
Somebody went out of their way to bring on some real hurt.
Tell me, you, uh... you made any enemies lately?

[shower running]
Mm.
(Emma) I'm not gonna see you for a while.
We're going to Argentina.
What? Why?
There's a clinic down there.
They have an experimental treatment for the cancer,
and we have to stay after to monitor it.
I should come with you.
He could die, right? I should be there.
I'm really struggling with this, Simon.
I think we should tell him.
Tell him what?
That we're in love still.
Unless I'm wrong.
You're not wrong.
She's been expecting you.
So the party entrance will be the main ballroom doors.
Of course, we'll provide our own security.
I just don't want men loitering in the lobby, Adriana.
(Adriana) That won't be a problem.
Neil.
This is Jimmy Valenti, manager of the Ibani Hotel.
The ITech convention is next week.
We were just going over the details of the...
(Neil) Richard Garcia of the SEC.
You know him?
Perhaps you two need a minute.
Will you show Jimmy to the upstairs office?
Nice meeting you.
Richard is a good friend.
We've done each other favors over the years.
What do you want?
This isn't some first volley, Neil.
Some negotiation.
I don't want anything.
So what is this? Revenge?
You come into my home.
You lock me in a cage.
You've been locked in plenty of cages.
I have done nothing but extend myself to you and your wife.
I take you in, I teach you the business,
and what do I get in return?
Abandoned.
It was watching us together, wasn't it?
That's what really hurt.
Because what we have is something you will never understand.
Like marriage is some sacred mystery.
I have a marriage, Neil.
Which worked just fine as long as you and Fisher are on different continents.
But you guys spend one week under the same roof and he packs up and leaves.
Let me guess, for a younger woman?
Don't do this, Adriana.
Call off your dogs.
My dogs are gonna rip your throat out.
(Man) I am so sorry. Hope you weren't waiting long.
No, no, not at all.
My daughter got stranded and her mom was at book club.
Try explaining to a 10-year-old that her dad actually
has another job besides chauffeuring her to dance class.
Yeah, believe me, I've been there.
So, what are we thinking here?
C-Cup or maybe something a little more daring?
Excuse me?
Well, it's just, I think a D or larger is gonna look
a little unnatural on your frame,
but to some people, bigger is always better.
Why don't you remove your blouse? We'll see what we're working with.
I'm not... [giggles] I'm not here for a...
I was hoping for Botox treatments for migraines.
Oh, my God, you're...
You're not Joni Anderman.
Grace Truman.
[Sighs] I am so, so sorry.
You see, in this office, when a woman of a certain age
is in my exam room, kids are out of the house.
She usually finds herself suddenly single.
And, uh, looking to reinvent herself.
So, that's your assessment?
You think I need bigger breasts?
Uh, it's really not my job to have an opinion.
What I do know is there's nothing wrong
with wanting to feel better about yourself.
Look, we have a library of brochures here.
Breast implants. Tummy tucks. Facial procedures.
If you're curious, take a look.
In the meantime, I will go prepare an injection
and we'll get rid of those migraines, okay?
- Again, I apologize for the mix-up. - It's fine.
[Door opens and closes]
[Gentle music]
She have video on you or what?
Excuse me?
Your anonymous tip.
Just wondering what strings she had to pull to make this happen,
because if evidence of a personal vendetta...
Are we going to have a problem, Mr. Truman?
I don't know. Are we?
Because it sounds like you're threatening a federal officer,
which is a serious crime.
Is that what's happening here?
You know what? Help yourself to the files.
You won't find anything.
Our finances are tight as a drum. Excuse me.
Whoa. Easy there, Victor.
You gotta pace yourself.
What the hell for?
Might as well polish off the good shit
while we watch the Titanic sink, right?
Everyone gets audited. It's how you know you're one of the big boys.
This is harassment. Pure and simple.
You know, I spent my lifetime building this place
and they come in here with their goddamn wrecking ball.
And... [mimics explosion] All gone.
Look, that's not going to happen.
And you need to relax.
You need to stop telling me to relax, Neil.
Do not tell me to relax!
I know exactly what's been going on here.
I know everything you've been up to...
[glass shatters]
Victor.
Agh!
Victor!
Oh.
All right, all right. Just stay calm.
Take deep breaths, okay?
You're gonna be all right.
[Dialing phone keys]
(operator) 911. Please state your emergency.
Yes, I need an ambulance. I think it's a heart attack.
Neil!
[Siren blips]
We are 10:16, about two minutes out.
Patient is stabilized.
Pulse is 72. BP is 138 over 86.
(man on radio) Copy. Code Four Adam, out.
Victor, is there someone I should call?
You want to know the sad part?
You're the guy I call.
Listen to me. I know what's going on.
And I'm going to fix it.
You know?
Wait. What are you saying?
Remember that Gould fund that lost money last year?
Yeah.
Where do you think all that money went?
I lost it in an offshore account.
What?
I've been cooking the books for years.
I never saw that.
I was good at it.
Once they start digging around...
How much?
How much, Victor? Give me a number.
You want a number? I'll give you a number.
20 years.
I don't mind dying in some godforsaken hospital bed.
I'm okay with that.
But my ass is not going to prison
for 20 years.
[Door opens and closes]
Hey, you gotta start checking the mail.
I found this postcard from Anika buried in here for a week.
Yeah, I will.
(Grace) She's in Nashville.
Sounds like she's having an amazing time.
There's something different about you somehow.
You like 'em?
Are you kidding me? Implants?
Something wrong with that?
It's just a test run. I, uh...
I am thinking about it, though.
Why?
I don't know. Suddenly single.
Starting over, I guess.
Is that what we're doing?
Yeah, it sure looks like it.
So that's it? Marriage is over.
You buy new tits so you can start dating again?
[Sighs]
What, you can start your own escort business and that's okay?
We wouldn't be here is you hadn't gone out
and screwed half the women in this city.
If you recall, I started escorting because you and Simon were sleeping together.
You hadn't touched me in six months.
- I have needs and I was lonely. - And I was working 70 hours a week.
And then coming home, having to be a father and a husband.
I did the best that I could, Grace.
No, you didn't. You threw in the towel a long time ago.
You just assumed I'd take care of myself. Well, I did.
Yeah, you sure did, didn't you?
You know, you never told me.
How was he? Did he make you scream?
Did he do things I wouldn't do?
What, you just want me to say that so you can hate me? Is that it?
Like you... like, what, like you didn't enjoy your flings?
I mean, be honest, right?
You love sleeping with other women.
I mean, all our years of monogamy, you probably felt deprived.
You couldn't find me one married man out there
that doesn't fall asleep fantasizing about sex with other women,
so, yes, yes, I enjoyed it.
Great. Now you have free rein.
[Sighs]
I don't want to fight with you, Grace.
Not today.
Victor's in the hospital.
It's his heart.
What?
And the SEC is investigating us.
Adriana called them in.
Revenge for when you and I...
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
[Laughs softly]
That's serious.
Yeah, well, like you said.
I did my fair share to bring it on.
[Poignant music]
Maybe we should think about selling the house.
Trish DiMarco is a great realtor.
I'll give her a call.
[Door closes]
[Light jazz music playing]
Hey, Arthur.
Ugh! For Christ's sake.
Can you just call me Dad?
We're past all that crap, aren't we?
- Yeah, we are... Dad. - Yeah.
Can I get you something to drink?
Just a club soda. I rode the bike here.
Club soda for my son along with that scotch?
[Exhales]
Thank you for coming. I-I know it was last minute.
Is this about Argentina?
How do you know about that?
Emma told me.
Oh, she was worried that I wouldn't.
I just don't like to share all the crap that's going on with me.
It's exciting, though. Viral therapy.
Last-resort stuff, but...
it's encouraging.
Hey.
I am gonna be fine.
There's something else we gotta talk about before you...
Let me spare ya. I know what it's about.
It's my will.
You're back in it.
Now, Emma's gonna get the lion's share of it, but you're gonna do all right.
Of course, I wouldn't be your father if it didn't come with a catch.
I gotta die first.
[Laughs]
[Indistinct chatter]
[Classical music playing]
Hi.
I'm looking for Jimmy Valenti.
He's in a meeting at the moment, but he should be available shortly.
Great. I'll just go grab a drink.
[Pop dance music playing]
We'll take it off of the top.
[Laughs]
Ah, Adriana.
Looking forward to doing business with you.
Absolutely, Neil.
Hell of a nice guy, that Jimmy.
Thank you for introducing us.
- What are you doing here? - Isn't it obvious? Thank you.
I'm stealing your account.
Jimmy and I have an understanding.
I've been running this convention for five years.
Well, I guess he doesn't understand your understanding.
I only had to up your offer by 20%.
You want to burn down my house, I'm gonna burn down yours.
You're not going to get away with this.
Oh, the convention? [Chuckles]
That's just the beginning. I have much more.
A standard in-house Bastion contract.
I backdated it six months.
It specifies a large amount of cash that you've been funneling into investments.
Cash obtained illegally.
Forged my signature.
Ooh, where do you think I learned that little trick?
You can keep this one for your records.
I buried the original in paperwork at the office.
And when the SEC get their hands on it,
not even your friend will be able to save you.
You want war,
I'll give you war.
Hey there.
Headaches are back?
Guess again.
I, um... I took home some of the brochures
and did some reading and...
I'm... I'm ready to explore.
Well, that was quick. What changed?
My... my perspective. [Giggles]
What'd your husband say?
Oh, my husband's not really a factor at this point.
So, what exactly are you interested in?
Well, I'm not sure, I just feel like reinventing
and exploring the new.
I thought a consult would be useful.
What would you suggest?
Uh...
Well, all right, let's take a look here.
Chin up. There you go.
Okay.
What I would recommend...
is a referral.
Okay, I... I don't... I don't understand.
Grace, for me to put you under the knife would be a conflict of interest,
because I...
I want to ask you out.
Oh. [Chuckles]
Yeah. [stutters] It's just that I like you.
I think you're the kind of person that...
[sighs] Is this weird?
'Cause I really don't want this to be weird.
I've only been divorced a short time and I'm not really quite sure how to...
Okay, you're doing... you're doing okay. [giggles]
[Sighs]
Listen, tomorrow night,
there are these amazing food trucks over in Truesdale Square.
Uh, maybe if you're free, you'd... you'd wanna go?
[Giggles]
Okay, Dr. Winnikoff, huh?
[Dark music]
[Knock on door]
You didn't tell him?
I don't blame you.
I haven't been able to find the courage to tell him myself.
I know you're back in the will.
It isn't about the money.
I never expected anything from him.
- I understand, Simon. - No. No, you don't.
I have to choose him right now, okay?
He and I have had so many years apart,
and now we're finally coming back together.
I don't want to hurt him anymore.
I think we should just cool things off.
For now.
[Somber music]
[Emma sighs]
It's just...
We may not have a choice now.
I'm late.
It isn't his.
[Keyboard clacking]
[Distant moaning]
[Distant heavy breathing]
[Moaning continues]
[Heavy breathing continues]
[Breathing and moaning]
I think she came five times that night.
I still have the scratch marks.
You filmed my wife without her consent?
There was a camera running. She may or may not have been aware.
Look how her eyes flash when I touch her.
She's like an innocent young girl. Surprised by her own pleasure.
(Neil) Get the hell out of my office.
Not until you hear me out.
You wanted me to cry uncle.
Uncle.
We both knew this would end in a deal.
Let's talk like grown-ups.
Work with me.
Partners.
You're out of your mind.
I've been in the game ten years. You've been doing this ten minutes.
You know finance. I know men. It makes sense.
It's never gonna happen.
[Sighs] Okay.
A test run.
Work the ITech convention with me.
See how it goes.
Get out.
You want the SEC to go away?
Hmm?
You want your company back?
I can make that happen.
We work the convention together.
You call off the SEC, and then we part ways forever.
All I ask is that you keep an open mind.
Who knows?
We might be a good fit.
Oh, look. Here comes a good part.
[Heavy breathing]
[Spanish music playing]
[Grace giggles]
I can't believe I've never been here before.
Yeah, every Thursday night.
And you are not gonna believe these homemade tortillas.
I hope you like Mexican food.
- Yes, I love it. - Oh.
Especially anything with mole.
- Mole? - Mm.
I have an excellent recipe for mole.
If you remind me, I'll send it to you.
- Bryan! - Oh, this is the place.
- Come on. - Oh.
Veronica. Como estas?
Bien! [Giggles]
This is mi amiga, Grace. Grace, this is Veronica.
- Hola, Grace. - Hola.
[Both giggle]
[Speaks Spanish]
[Replies in Spanish]
Now, we can order off the menu,
but it's so much more fun to build your own.
Come on.
Wow! This is incredible.
Yeah, so, just grab some tortillas and go to town.
Personally, I like to start with tilapia.
Oh, no, I think it's carne asada for me.
All right.
Ah! Gracias.
- There you go. - Thank you.
Veronica and I became friends when I fixed her daughter's cleft palate.
You know, a lot of people don't realize there's a lot more to plastic surgery
than just cosmetics.
Right.
Ah! All right. Here. Why don't you try this?
Oh.
Mm.
You know what? I just had the best idea.
- Where we're going for dessert. - Where's that?
It's a surprise. But trust me.
Whatever you're imagining, this is better.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
[Club music playing]
You're late.
Well, you'll just have to dock my pay, I guess.
Let me do the talking.
I'm so glad to see you two worked out your differences.
I'm still not clear why you called this meeting.
In reviewing my notes from previous discussions,
I'm afraid I underestimated the price.
Really?
I'm going to have to charge for use of the lobby as well.
But we won't be using the lobby.
Just the ballroom.
And the suites upstairs.
Adriana, you've thrown a lot of parties here.
They always spill out into the lobby.
How long have you worked at this hotel, Jimmy?
Going on six years.
Well, then, you must know Dave Perren in corporate?
I know the name.
I do a bit of business with Dave in my other job.
I guess what I'm wondering is,
does corporate know that you work with an escort service?
Let me get this straight.
You're threatening to expose me for doing business with... you?
I guess it is a little funny when you put it that way,
but yes, Jimmy, that's exactly what I'm saying.
[Sighs]
So we're all good, then?
The price we agreed upon this morning?
Wonderful. While we're here, I'd like to see one of the suites upstairs.
- So we can prep the party. - I'll get you a key.
He's a bulldog, this one.
[Both chuckle]
I thought we were going for dessert.
Oh, we are. Best dessert ever.
It's like, uh, chocolate cake without the guilt.
Come on.
- My God. Nitrous? - Yeah.
- You ever try it? - I don't know.
Grace, you gotta, okay? It's the best perk of my job.
All right?
Now, just cover your nose and your mouth.
You breathe normally. I'll go first.
[Inhaling and exhaling]
Yeah, here. Here.
[Inhaling]
You feel it? Huh?
[Giggles] Wait, wait, wait.
Okay, easy. Easy. Let me see it.
You feel it. [Laughs]
[Spanish music]
[Laughs]
How do you feel?
I have no idea.
Nothing is funny, but it's so funny.
[Laughter]
This is better than chocolate pudding.
- Cherry on top. - Cherry on... [laughter]
Cherry on top!
I like this table.
Hello. Welcome to the spa. I'll take care of you.
C'est comme dans l'ocean, et il y a des poissons partout!
[Laughing] Did you just speak French?
I have no idea what I just spoke.
[Laughter]
[Door closes] - [Gasps]
- Oh, my God. - No.
I think there's someone here.
It's Sheryl. It's Sheryl. It's my receptionist.
She comes in and she uses the computer. [laughter]
Okay. Okay, we have to hide. No, no. We gotta go to my office.
- It's so not funny! [laughs] - We'll be safe there.
- Oh. - Oh!
- Hello. - Hi.
Uh, Dr. Murphy was just, uh, showing me the...
Ms. Truman. You were in yesterday, weren't you?
Let me guess. He referred you to Dr. Winnikoff?
Winnikoff does great work, and I'm sure he appreciates all the referrals.
First door on the left.
[Sighs]
And now for dessert, dessert.
What's all that?
Well, dermal fillers.
Hyaluronic acids. Collagen boosters.
The effects are instantaneous and completely safe.
You're gonna have a new youthful face in just a few minutes.
Need to sterilize the area first, though.
Oh, no, no, no.
Come on, Grace. It's easy.
It'll smooth the crows feet, fill out those lips. Come on.
Then what? We... we go back to your place?
Uh, that sounds good.
Yeah, just be sure you screw me fast enough before it wears off.
This is what you do?
You get your dates high so you can play with their faces?
Hey, you came to me, remember?
I can make you younger and hotter. It's what you wanted, right?
No, you know what, now that I see you in better light,
I don't think I like your face much either.
I think you should really take care of that!
Aah! Aah!
[Groans]
How many are you expecting?
A hundred, give or take.
We've got some hiring to do.
Oh, look.
That Jimmy is so thoughtful.
Why are we really here?
I brought you a peace offering.
The original copy of the video with Grace.
Go get it.
Really? That's your price?
[Chuckles] Look at you.
It's adorable how you're so protective of her.
Even now, after all that's happened.
You want that file, Neil.
It's the only way to keep her safe.
What the hell do you want? Hmm?
No, what do you really want?
You want me? You want Grace?
I want you both.
The three of us.
We're entwined.
Linked. Forever.
I can still taste her in my mouth.
- Tonight, I want the other half. - I'm not your whore.
Oh, we're all whores, darling. When are you gonna learn?
[Gasps]
[Sighs]
[Provocative music]
[Moans]
Close your eyes.
[Door opens]
[Elevator bell]
Grace.
Neil.
What are you, um...
This is where you're staying.
Should we go for a drink?
Yes.
But not here.
[Heavy breathing]
[Moaning]
Are you okay?
(Neil) Harder.
You have to earn it.
[Moaning]
Simon.
It's been far too long.
Thanks for seeing me on such short notice.
Come on. You're practically family. Come on. Sit down.
So, how can I help you today?
Well, um...
I wanted to talk to you about genetic testing,
see if I might have the gene for liver cancer.
Is there any specific reason?
Um, I wanna know if I'm at risk for passing it on.
I found out recently I may be a father.
And I've never had anyone except myself to think about.
You know, Arthur didn't even tell me that you were married.
Well, it's a complicated situation.
It's none of my business.
Listen, Simon, you want my advice?
Go home and stop worrying.
I get this from expecting parents all the time.
They read something in a blog, they're up in a cold sweat,
worrying about everything that could possibly go wrong.
Save your money.
The chances are incredibly slim.
I just thought I would be at a higher risk because of my dad.
I'm not sure I follow.
He's dying.
He was in the hospital last week.
You're talking about when he blacked out in the boxing ring.
He was treated for hypertension and released. His scans are fine.
Simon, I've been your father's physician for almost 15 years.
If he were dying, I would know something about it.
[Cell phone vibrating]
- Victor. - (Victor) Yeah.
I was reviewing all our holdings from last fiscal year.
There might be a way to spin this thing.
- Where are you? - The office. Where else?
- The hospital. - Ah, they let me go.
Called it a minor cardiac event. [Chuckles]
- [Sighs] - When are you coming in?
I'll get there when I get there.
(Victor) Yeah, hurry up, pal. We got a lot of work to do.
[Hangs up]
You're still here?
I was gonna make breakfast.
How's Swiss cheese and beer sound?
I love this house.
I don't want to sell this house.
[Laughs softly] Me neither.
But we are going to have to do something about breakfast.
Pick up.
(Emma) Hello?
Where are you?
Uh, we just arrived. We're checking in.
(Simon) Is he near you?
(Emma) Simon, what's wrong?
He's not sick.
What?
(Simon) He's not sick. I just saw his doctor.
And then I called the clinic down there.
He doesn't have an appointment scheduled with them.
He has never even contacted them.
Wait. I don't understand.
This is all bullshit, okay?
The will, adding me to the company.
He's been lying to both of us this entire time.
Who is that?
Uh, it's the gym.
It's about my membership.
Huh. I wouldn't have thought your phone would work down here.
Come on. They want to see your passport.
- I have to go. - No, no, wait.
You know, just being down here,
I feel better already.
