Redeemed Page #2

- Alright, it's good to see ya.

- Thank you. You too.

Liz! Liz!

I don't know

what you're going through,

but I'm here for you.

Do you wanna

tell me anything?

Just be there for me.

Okay.

I made lunch reservations

for Friday

at that new restaurant

on Tucker Street.

You know, the one we're thinking

about catering our ceremony?

I thought we should try it

before we commit.

I'm so worried about Liz.

I wish she would just open up

to me and tell me what happened.

Earth to Paul.

Paul.

Hmm?

Liz and David, I mean,

having an affair

is a humiliating thing

to open up about.

Has David said

anything to you?

There's a Brazilian

corporation

that's been threatening

to invest in our company

for the past

several months now.

Threatening?

They can't make up their minds,

so they sent a liaison, a spy,

really just to snoop around

to see if we have any

skeletons in our closet.

Well, will the man

find anything?

What man?

The liaison,

the man from Brazil.

You mean, he's not gonna

find anything, right?

No, of course not.

Morning, Brenda.

James left your report

on your desk.

Oh, and the bank called,

something about your

car payment not being sent.

Hey, do you think

my tie matches my shin?

Yeah, sure, looks great.

So what should I tell the bank?

Tell them my tie

matches my shin.

- This is Paul.

- Oh, hi honey.

I'm sorry.

What's all the racket?

Oh, just Cooper exercising

his right to be an 8-year-old,

and Ruby is...

Ruby, what are you doing?

Ruby, please stop.

Be careful with that.

Guys...

Hi, you must be Julia.

- Yes, is Paul around?

- Yes.

- He's waiting for you in his office.

- Oh, perfect. Thank you.

So how's that?

Anyway, I was just calling

to see if you could pick up

Cooper's shinguards

before the game tomorrow morning.

We had to re-order.

Uh... yeah, right, okay.

I'll have to get back to you.

Miss Santos, good morn...

Oh!

- Good morning.

- Oh, please call me Julia.

There's no need

for formalities.

- Your CFO, James, is it?

- Yeah.

Yes, he told me

that you wanted to go over

the financial reports

with me personally?

Yes, Julia.

I don't know, I guess I just

feel that I'm responsible

for the good

and the bad.

Oh, that's admirable,

and the BVCA believes

that when it comes to

making financial investments,

a man's character is

as important as his bottom line.

So, how was your weekend?

Restful.

I'm lying.

I was actually bored to death.

I don't know anybody

in Los Angeles,

and I didn't have the first idea

of what to do or where to go.

Oh, come on.

It's the City of Angels.

We have millions

of tourists every year.

I mean, you could go to Disneyland,

you could go to the

Hollywood Walk of Fame,

you could go to the beach,

you could go to O.J. Simpson's house,

Marilyn Monroe's house, I mean...

Are you offering to be

my personal tour guide?

You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna have Brenda

write up an itinerary for you.

Your wife?

No, Brenda's not my...

Oh, yeah,

that's my wife, Beth,

and my two kids.

The financial reports.

Oh, I'm sorry.

The financial reports

aren't ready.

Maybe if we just had

a little more advanced notice.

I understand.

When do you think

you will have them by?

Well, we're working

on them right now.

We should have them

by the end of the day.

Tomorrow morning then?

Tomorrow morning

my son has a soccer game,

and I never miss a game.

Well, then tonight it is.

I will come back

at the end of the day,

and we can work

on them together.

Do you have a problem

working late tonight?

Of course, it'll be fun.

I mean, that's fine.

Yeah, that's fine.

I'll see you then.

They're lovely, by the way.

Your family.

See you tonight.

Look, I don't know what

you're so worried about.

I mean, owners

of large companies

work long hours

all the time,

especially when they got

visitors from foreign countries.

I know.

It's just something

about this woman.

She's driving me crazy.

I can see that,

and I don't blame you.

What is Beth gonna say?

About what? Who? Julia?

You don't tell her.

Ryan, I don't lie to my wife.

It's not lying

if you don't say anything.

Okay, I'm not that stupid.

You and Beth

are going camping, okay?

It's at night, and she's

asleep in a sleeping bag.

You zip up the tent, you spin

around, and what do you see?

You see a spider

crawling up the sleeping bag.

What do you do?

Do you yell all of a sudden,

"Hey, Beth, watch out!

"There's a spider! It's coming!

It's gonna get you!"

- No, and why not?

- Because she'd freak out.

Exactly, she would freak out

and in the process get bit.

SQ?

Look, there's a saying, "What they

don't know won't hurt'em."

But my saying is,

"What they do know will hurt them

and bite them."

So no spider, no bite, easy.

Dude, relax.

Relax.

I'm sure this woman sees you

for your true, inner potential.

I don't know.

Are you seeing somebody

about these issues?

- About what?

- Issues, you. You have issues.

- No, you have issues.

- And you should see a shrink.

You should, you know, somebody

to give you some meds,

get the edge off,

help you get through the day.

No, I don't believe in that.

You don't know what

you're talking about.

Look, I'm gonna do you a big favor.

I'm gonna give you my shrink

'cause he's good,

a little out there,

but he's good, okay?

You're gonna love him,

and you're gonna thank me.

You got this one.

See my shrink!

You need a new shrink!

I'm fine!

Thanks for helping out, Rose.

I've been so busy planning

the ceremony, I'm just...

l feel overwhelmed.

No problem, hon.

I thought

all this technology

was supposed to make

our lives easier.

I'm telling you, if you ask me,

the machines we have now

actually make our lives

harder to manage.

- Is this right?

- No, you doofus, it's B!

Hey, don't call

your brother a "doofus."

I mean, the computers,

the Internet...

and that thing.

Don't even get me

started on cell phones.

Oh.

I got it, C.

You're right.

lam a doofus.

Is everything alright?

Oh, I'm sure it is.

Why didn't you give

the financial report to Julia?

I guess...

I told myself

I didn't want her to know

we're in default

with the banks,

that I was up to

my eyeballs in debt.

I was just trying to

keep my head above water.

But maybe the real reason?

I just wanted to be around her

as long as I could.

Oh.

And that's why you lied to your wife

about who you were with?

Well, this is a good start.

Yeah, from the looks

of these reports,

everything seems

to be in order.

Great.

And you know the BVCA

recognizes the increased

and growing need

for corporate security,

which is why your company

is intriguing to us.

I'm in the business of

keeping people's secrets hidden.

I guess as the world gets bigger

and more complicated,

so do their secrets.

You know, my dad left

when I was a little girl,

and I don't remember

much about him.

That must have been hard...

Growing up without him.

A girl accepts

whatever the world
