with someone, terms on both sides have to be honored.

If they don't allow that,

I'm asking chaos to take control over my life.

Nobody likes chaos.

Yup...

Yeah, no one likes chaos.

Sure.

Hurley, what if...

What is you had a place

in Palm Beach to sit things down?

Nah. Nah, cops

will be all over us.

No rent.

What if we...

What if we

bought a house?

Palm Partners,

how may I help you?

Do I have any messages?

All right, I will transfer

you to Mr....

Why do you even

read the society pages?

It's, not like you could

ever go to one of those parties.

Look, a normal couple gets divorced,

they need 2 houses instead of 1.

- If a rich couple gets divorced?

- They need 4 houses instead of 2.

I know what

you're worried about.

It took me 2 years

to get my first commission.

Even though it's

only a quater share.

I would've had my

first if Jammison hadn't swooped in.

- Good morning ladies.

- If I don't sell something soon,

- I'm screwed.

- Amber picked up a cold-call.

some rich ass Texan

looking to buy his 3rd vacation home.

I've been answering

the phone for 3 weeks, and nothing.

They are great clients,

all in cash.

- What's Amber's line?

-12.

Hello?

Yes.

- Excuse me for 5 minutes. Thank you.

- No problem.

Absolutely.

I'll let her know.

Hello?

Hello?

That was Mr. Thompson.

He said he wants to close on Edgewater right away.

He said he's gonna be flying in at noon.

Oh, his phone died.

I was on the phone with him...

If you want, I can go take

care of that for you right away.

That's so sweet of you.

But no.

-11 for the price of...

- Noella.

- Excuse me one moment.

- Call Mr. Parmitt at the Buca Resort,

and tell him that I'll

call him later to re-schedule.

Of course. Sorry about that.

The price was US$ 1,155.

In item:
8000.

At a cost of US$ 2,353.20.

I can't believe

you've just stole her client.

There's nothing wrong

with stealing now and then.

They do it to us

all the time.

Mr. Parmitt?

Miss Rodgers.

Yes.

Anybody who is somebody,

and rich, winds up in Palm Beach.

I mean, more billionaires

per square foot than anywhere else.

Palm Beach is about

style, community.

- It's, it's, it's not about money at all.

- Of course not.

Where do

you live now?

I've got a place in Vail,

on the South Park Real,

- in Maine.

- Yeah.

I'd like to see a few more

areas before securing in on one.

- Do you have time tomorrow?

- Sure.

Yeah, I have all the time you

need to zero in on anything you want.

I'll pick you up

at your office at 10h.

I'll never remember my

way around unless I do the driving.

- Taxi!

- Can I drop you somewhere?

No thanks.

I'm good.

- Where to?

- Lake Okeechobee please.

- Yes Sir.

- Take the highway 441.

Morning, ma'am...

Daniel Parmitt.

San Antonio, Texas.

I though we agreed

no more scars.

I don't wanna lose you.

Hey.

I keep thinking about

that man inside our house.

I've been around

thieves my whole life but,

this guy,

he's a killer.

He really scared me.

They wouldn't have killed you,

Claire.

- They use you to get to me.

- And kill us both.

You can leave, Claire.

No one will blame you.

This Italian-made villa

was built 3 years ago.

It's only

US$ 17m.

If you were older and

You like?

You know, the furnishings are

all antique and they could be available for, you know...

the right price.

So, married?

Once.

She passed away.

I'm sorry.

What about you?

What does your husband do?

Divorced.

He was a salesman.

He sold me...

the whole dream.

I thought he was something.

His Ferrari was rented.

At least it

wasn't stolen.

Well, he declared bankruptcy

before the divorce, so

I get to help him pay off this debt,

while he lives there in Key West

with his new girlfriend.

A younger girl.

This one right over here,

this has been on the market for about year for about US$ 27,5m.

If you make an offer now,

you could probably get it for about US$ 19,5m-ish.

It's a good price.

This is obviously

more of a neighborhood.

Right here,

with these greeen palm trees,

this house sold about 2 months,

for US$ 1,2m.

Mr. Rodrigo

says he wants to renovate.

Can you believe it?

It's obviously a tear down.

Mr. Rodrigo?

Yeah.

Amber sold it to him.

I think he said

he's from Texas too.

I'll have to meet

him someday.

You know, the one nice thing about it, the inner

coast goes right down here wraps right around the house.

It's really beautiful.

You see what I mean?

The inner coast winds up here.

So, you live in

San Antonio your whole life?

Yeah.

Since I was about 3.

To tell the truth,

I was born in Equador.

My folks are both

in the oil business down there.

Equador?

Really?

That's what it

says on my birth certificate.

- Hey, Leslie.

- Hey, Julio. How are you?

I was in a management

training program here before I got married.

I could've got you a great discount,

even rate, say 11 years ago.

Do you mind if I hold on to these for

my bankers to see if they have a problem on their end?

Sure. They're all sold.

I just kind of tossed them anyway.

Here, my card.

Mr. Parmitt...

Daniel...

I know that

you're in town alone,

so, if you'd like, we can

go over more places,

say, over dinner

or just drinks?

You are so kind,

but I'm afraid I've other plans.

- I'll be in touch.

- Ok.

Plans...

Pipsy, stop.

Be good.

Leslie?

Put on the soap channel.

Do we have to have the

soap opera channel always on?

- I pay for it.

- I pay every minute.

I heard that.

I heard that too.

You see? This is the kind of

outfit you would look great in.

Don't tell me,

it's Tuesday night.

I'm off to poker.

You mind Pipsy.

Actually, Martha's still in the hospital,

why don't you come?

We'll put Pipsy in the carrier.

The girls would love to see you.

If he's in town,

we can't risk him

getting any of us alone.

- We have to...

- Uncle said he has the best guy to take care of Parker.

Mr. Danzinger is going to be

very disappointed you haven't seen Parker.

Listen my friend,

I keep telling you,

I dunno anybody named Parker,

all right?

Nice new carpet.

I love that sh*t.

- I am ready to order.

- Sit down, sit here.

Don't worry about it man,

I got you peperoni.

If you're free,

maybe we can go for that drink now.

Who knows you're here,

Leslie?

If you wanna go somewhere more private,

we can go to your hotel.

Or we can go to the office, I have the keys.

You know, Mr. Crin usually keeps the...

- I'm gonna ask you a question you need to answer.

- Ouch, ouch, ouch, you're hurting my neck.

Who knows you're here,

Leslie?

No one, ok?

No one!

- You're gonna love this.

- F***.

You know, everything you did

in the car today was, almost right.

Almost.

But I didn't buy it.

Is Daniel Parmitt

you real name?

Why wouldn't it be?

Because you're less

than 2 months old.

You have a bank account,

an address in Texas and a drivers license.

You never owned or

leased a car before this one.

You never had a credit card

and you never had a mortgage.
