Rescued

Mark's here.

Hey, Megan.

Hi, Mark.

Lucky.

He doesn't even know my name.

You sure?

You find a way to slip it in

every time you see him.

Still, you have to work at it

to get noticed by the right guy.

Megan.

Later.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah. Why?

You weren't

at the Johnsons' last night

for the service project.

Oh, that.

I had plans with Kim

and some others.

I thought you were

in charge of it.

I handed it off to someone else.

It went fine, right?

No big deal.

What'd you do last night?

We went to Pyro's.

The club.

You went clubbing

on a Tuesday night?

It's ladies' night.

Linda:
Mark?

Yes?

Your meeting with Mr. Davidson

is about to start.

Thank you.

What are you

doing here?

Davidson asked him

to come.

So, do you guys know

what this is all about?

I have no idea.

Good.

We can start.

Hansu Technologies

is licensing our C25 chip.

That's the Chinese company,

right?

This is gonna be used for

their new wireless media player.

They're finally ready

to move forward on it.

They're getting ready

to manufacture it

at their Indonesia plant,

so I want you there.

Great.

You know this thing

inside and out,

so I need you to make sure

they don't change their minds.

Done.

And, uh, Megan.

You'll be handling this account

as we move forward.

Me?

You excel

in your responsibilities.

You show great promise.

Plus, Mark here thought

it might be a good fit.

Thank you.

Chris, you'll help with

the technical implementation.

Yes, sir.

Paul can't come?

His wife is due any day.

And I understand

Chris here speaks Chinese.

I do.

You speak Chinese?

I thought we were

going to Indonesia.

Most of their top executives

are Chinese.

It could be useful.

Check with Linda

for your travel arrangements.

You leave tomorrow.

That's it.

Thanks.

Mark:
- See you tomorrow.

It's just

a business trip.

I know.

So, what are you

so excited about?

I'm finally getting somewhere.

Did you hear what he said?

Yeah, that's

pretty flattering.

And I get to travel

and see the world.

And spend some time

with Mark Taylor.

- There is that.

Isn't he a bit old

for you?

I just heard. You get to

go somewhere with Mark.

How'd you hear so soon?

- Linda.

So, it's just you

and Mark?

No.

Chris is going, too.

Oh.

Thanks.

And it's just business.

What are you

gonna wear?

I have no idea.

Oh, it's okay.

I'll come over after work.

Exciting meeting?

What?

I get to go on a trip

with Mark Taylor.

Wow. I know 15 women in this

office who would kill to be you.

That's a first.

You don't want to go?

Would you?

He'll sweet-talk his way

past everyone,

and then

double-cross them.

He took all the credit

for the work we did on the C25,

and he got Brett fired

and moved us to the basement.

You think he's changed?

No.

But I don't know.

Mark's going places.

He's already

upper management.

Pretty soon, he's going to be

chief something-or-other.

Might not be a bad idea to let

it go, get on his good side.

Why should I trust him?

Do you really want to

back out of the trip?

No.

At least there's

an upside.

Megan's going, too.

Really?

Maybe you'll finally

ask her out.

I'm just waiting

for the right moment.

Yeah. How's that working out

for you?

Mm, too tame.

Uh...

Ooh!

What?

Are you going to a funeral?

Oh, uh...

Why not?

[ doorbell rings ]

Hang on.

Don't mind me.

Hey, Chris.

Hey.

Got your itinerary.

Oh, I forgot

to pick it up.

Linda came looking for you,

but you'd already left.

So I told her

I'd bring it by.

There's a commercial flight

to Malaysia,

then some jet to,

uh, Kupang -- Kupong.

Thanks.

You have your passport,

right?

Um...

Hang on.

You know,

I know I have one.

That's good.

Where is it?

So, how do you know

Chinese?

I did a study-abroad thing

in college.

Really?

That's a weird choice.

Smart choice.

Normally, I'd assume that's

where you served your mission.

Yeah, I wanted to go,

But by the time I was baptized

and waited a year,

I was past the cutoff age.

Well, I hope we can explore

a little while we're in, um...

Uh...

Indonesia.

Right.

I don't know if we're gonna have

much time for fun on this trip.

Why not?

It's business.

A day to travel there, a day

back, two days of meetings,

not to mention

the time difference.

We'll make time for fun.

That'd be nice.

You know, I --

I don't get to see you

a whole lot outside of work.

Uh, is that

your subtle way

of bugging me

about going to church?

Not really.

Well, you know,

I've just been so busy.

Hey, it's your life.

Thank you.

Doesn't mean I don't worry,

though.

Worry?

Chris, I --

Oh, found it!

Still valid?

Uh.

Yes.

Shoes!

- Shoes!

Uh...

Well, I'll just leave you girls

to your shoes.

Yeah.

Thanks for bringing that over.

Gossiping about guys.

Yeah.

Oh.

Those kill my feet.

But they look so sexy.

So, what did Chris want?

I forgot something at work,

so he brought it for me.

Oh.

That was nice of him.

Yeah.

No. It's not like that.

We go to the same church.

Really? I didn't ever peg you

as the churchy type.

Now, Chris, that actually

explains so much.

A swimsuit.

Oh.

I don't think

we'll be going swimming at all.

Do you want

to risk that?

Uhh,

don't you have a bikini?

Yeah, but I don't wear it

that much.

You do now.

Where is it?

Oh, much better.

You're so lucky.

Everyone at work

was talking about you today.

Nothing nice, I bet.

Oh, no, just gossip.

They're just jealous.

Why?

Nothing's going to happen.

Besides,

Chris will be there.

Everyone was worried

until they heard that.

If it was just you

and Mark,

you guys would probably end up

coming back an item.

I doubt it.

And, besides,

he's always dating someone.

Yeah, that someone

could be you.

Morning.

- Hi.

Oh, thank you.

Hot chocolate.

Can I have a sip?

It's really hot

right now.

- That's okay.

It's not hot chocolate.

I'm really tired, okay?

Then get more sleep.

It's medicinal.

Plus, I want to be awake

on the plane.

Most people like to be asleep

on planes.

Well, what if Mark

needs something?

Megan...

Good morning.

Hi, Mark.

Nice bag.

Megan's.

You guys should get checked in.

I'll see you when we land.

You're not flying

with us?

Yeah,

but I'm in first class.

Of course you are.

[ whistles ]

Not bad.

Should be better

than coach.

Can't be worse.

[ cellphone rings ]

Hello?

Hi, Jenna.

Oh, here.

Huh?

Oh.

Do you always

carry that?

I'm a tech guy.

Uh-huh.

MacGyver.

I had

a lot of fun, too.

Well, sure.

I'm out of town right now,

but that'd be fun.

No, no.

I'll call you this time.

I promise.

Okay.

Sorry.

Girlfriend?

No.

Just a date.

It didn't work out?

Well, I just prefer somebody

a little closer to my height.

What?

Is she short?

Yeah.

She can't be

that short.

Well,

when you look at her,

you just assume she's further

away than she really is.

When she's right next to you,

you just can't ignore it.

Look, don't judge me.

I don't really like dating.
