I was just fed up with the way

he was hammering Perry all night.

And trust me on this, you can't hurt him.

He's the king.

Yeah, well, sometimes you gotta

take a shot at the king...

to remind him the peasants

are still out there.

Yeah, only if you want to remain a peasant.

I think I'm gonna call it a night.

I got immigration tomorrow.

Okay. I'm gonna stay with my parents

tonight and run interference for Perry.

- Think he's gonna need it.

- Okay.

Talk to you later.

- Night, David.

- Love you!

So there's a rumor that Harold Simms

is pushing for David and Richard...

to get the Karasz oil leases.

Really?

This could be David's way

to a congressional seat.

The White House would owe him.

I wanted to ask how you guys

liked the Alhambra.

I've heard the baths are unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

What happened?

He gave us the Karasz oil leases.

Then why do you look like

he just had your balls for lunch?

I really wasn't expecting it.

- Good morning, Dora.

- Good morning.

We got the Karasz deal.

Congratulations, sir!

So hold all my calls

and get Tish on the line, please.

Hang on.

Yeah?

Hang on.

Tish! Phone for you.

Can I call you back?

David's on the phone for you and we're late.

Hi, babe. What's up?

They gave me the Karasz oil leases.

That's fantastic.

Did you know?

Not for sure.

Lynn might've mentioned something.

David, I am very proud of you.

Look, I've got to go. We're checking out

the church for the wedding...

but I'll meet you for lunch at Cafe Marue.

Okay.

Where the hell did you get these?

In the mail today.

No return address, no note, nothing.

David, we look seriously hot in these.

We look like we're in deep sh*t,

that's what we look like.

I don't understand. I mean, how'd she do it?

I don't know.

Maybe someone was there, hiding...

or maybe a camera was planted.

Oh, my God, what if it was the creep?

I mean, think about it, David.

He's the one that told you all about her,

and the club. Remember?

If this kind of thing got out...

- Can I bring you something?

- No.

At least you're a Harrington.

Meaning what?

You got your gazillion-dollar trust fund, and

your daddy's always gonna be there for you.

What are you talking about, David?

I never had anyone protect me.

I'm from Wilmington, Delaware.

I grew up on food stamps.

My father?

My father was a f***ing drunk

who could never keep a job.

Easy on the melodrama.

You know I've been talking to the Party

about a congressional seat.

The Karasz deal could be my ticket out.

I'm not gonna let this f*** it up.

What am I in this?

Just part of your political ambition?

Is that what this is all about?

"David marries an ambassador's daughter...

"and scores his big chance

to f*** his way to Washington"?

I'm sorry. Tish.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it the way it sounded.

I love you. You know that.

Okay.

Maybe she just sent them

as a souvenir or something.

I want whatever these were made from.

The tape, the film, whatever.

And how do you plan on doing that?

Go back to the Alhambra

and have a little talk with Mr. Klim.

And what if he had nothing to do with it?

Maybe he can tell us where we can find her.

David...

we have people who can

take care of this kind of thing.

No.

No one will ever know about this...

ever.

The Karasz oil lease documents...

and you have that meeting

with Mr. Szamos this afternoon.

Dora, get me out of it.

I have something else I have to do.

Okay.

He's gone.

The new manager told me

that he just up and quit the other night.

I got the number of the property

management company that hired him.

Well, get in, let's go.

Not till after we get a look at that room.

- What good is that gonna do?

- We might find something.

Yeah, like guests.

I knocked. No one's there. Come on.

- Sh*t!

- What?

I cut myself.

This is crazy. Someone had to hear that.

- How bad is it?

- I'll be fine.

There's somebody staying here.

David, did you hear me?

One of the angles was from above the bed.

You see anything?

There's a wire.

Here.

David.

It's a camera.

No one's asked for any money.

Not yet.

Look, maybe we should just tell my father.

I might as well put a gun to my head

and pull the trigger.

We'll go to that company he worked for.

I'll find him...

and we'll give him whatever he wants.

Josef Klim doesn't work for us, anymore.

- Since when?

- Two days ago.

Most managers are rental gypsies.

They live where they work.

The Alhambra was his last known residence,

as far as I know.

That is his cell phone number.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Here's my card.

If you hear anything, please call.

I will.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

He's not answering. There's no voice mail.

So we wait.

See what they have in mind.

Maybe I can get Dora

to get a billing address for his cell phone.

Yeah.

I am so sorry about this, David.

This whole thing, it's my fault.

I could've said no that night.

I don't see what you have

against a jazz combo.

Well, Mother, we were hoping

for something a little more upbeat.

I like jazz. They played jazz at our wedding.

And what about your older wedding guests?

- F*** them.

- Perry.

No one wants a jazz combo, Mother.

Believe me.

Listen to Perry.

He is the artiste in the family.

What do you say, David?

David.

I'm sorry?

Mother wants to know what kind of music

you want at our reception.

I was just saying how a jazz combo...

A jazz combo would be great.

David.

Excuse me.

- Hey.

- Great party.

- Yeah.

- They're gonna miss you here.

Their loss, my gain.

Hey, how's that Karasz thing coming?

Slow. There's a lot to sift through.

Well, George Szamos said

he set up a meeting with you...

and you blew him off? What...

I didn't mean to leave him

with that impression.

I'll hook up with him Monday morning.

I promise.

This is important, David.

I know, sir. I'm not gonna let you down.

I'm not worried about you letting me down.

I'm just... I'm kind of concerned about Tish.

David, I'm not sure you have what it takes.

I mean, you remember

when that Vaci deal fell through...

and we had that meeting?

I still feel the same way, you know.

I still see that desperation in your eyes.

I mean, I think you're always gonna be

on the outside looking in.

It's not your fault.

It's this inherent flaw.

It's because of where you come from.

You're never going to understand

the power of wealth...

and the subtle guarantees in life

that come with it.

I mean, you can taste it,

and you can smell it, and you can touch it...

but you're never

really gonna understand it...

as desperately as you want to.

And desperation leads to failure...

and failure isn't what I had in mind

for my daughter.

Tell me something, Lynn.

What's Daddy's pain threshold right now?

What do you mean?

You know...

with all the talk about the possible

Supreme Court appointment and all...

how much can he take

before he goes ballistic?

What's wrong?

- Oh, my God, are you pregnant?

- No.
