No.

- Really?

- Yeah, I like it.

- Is it yours?

- Yes.

Was she an old friend of yours?

Well, she's about like you.

Yeah, I like the colors.

Her cheeks and her hair.

Yeah, that's a technique.

Now, as you are

a student of the arts,

You know that canvases

come in different colors.

So depending on the paints,

what's underneath comes through.

Hm.

I never thought

about it like that.

Mm-Hm.

You know, I was walking

Matilda this morning

And ran into

some friends of yours.

They're having a party.

Maybe you should go.

Yeah.

Oh, that lovely girl

might be there.

I wasn't really invited to go.

When it comes to girls,

you make your own invitations.

- Come on, go. You'll have a great time.

- Okay.

Yeah, go.

Come inside.

Ryan's playing pool.

Come play pool.

Josh, what's up?

Hey.

Hey! What are you doing, huh?

- Stop! Stop!

- Whoa, whoa!

- What are you doing?

- What are you doing?

- Calm down.

- I don't get you.

- Stop it.

- Chill out.

Whoa!

Guys, stop it!

- Stop!

- Stop!

Stop! Calm down!

Whoa, whoa. Stop!

- It's our cousin.

- What?

Keen is our cousin.

Unbelievable.

Oh...

what happened at that party?

I got into a fight.

But you were

only gone for an hour.

I didn't start it.

The other guy did.

He was all over amber.

Oh. Oh, I see.

So, this is the result

of what you thought you saw.

Yeah, I was really stupid.

No, you're not stupid.

Here, let me explain

something to you.

Take a look at that painting.

Just take a good look at it.

Look at it in this light.

You're not quite sure

what you're seeing,

But it kind of looks

like something.

But...

...the minute I do this...

...it's completely different.

So it has a

completely different meaning.

It's not what you expect at all.

Something different.

What are you really saying?

What Im talking about is truth.

Truth is about...

...what you do

to get the proper perspective.

Joshua, you know,

I've been thinking

for quite a while now, and...

...I was wondering...

...would you like to

come and live with me here?

- Is it my own choice?

- Completely.

- Do you really want me here?

- Yes, I really, really do.

- Maybe, I could.

- Maybe, yes?

Oh... ah!

It's been such a long time since

Ive had a child in my house.

Hello?

Hello?

I'm looking for Joshua mason's

mother, Bryn mason?

Bryn?

Is there a Bryn in the house?

You get back here right now,

Im gonna beat you!

Whoa!

Who the hell are you?

- Are you Joshua mason's mother?

- Yeah. So who are you?

Well, what the hell's

going on here?

I... I just asked you...

who are you?

- No. Oh, no, you don't.

- This is cps.

- I'm talking to you,

b*tch!

- I have an endangered child.

I need a black and white.

Everly?

Everly?

Oh...

oh, no.

Not again.

I don't think

we've been burgled.

It's probably something worse.

You are scum.

I want you out of my house, now.

I can't believe

you're involving the boy.

Oh, like he has

so many options?

Well, of course he has options.

- But what you do will only hurt him.

- By making him rich?

By stunting his spirit...

...at a moment that he

needs nurturing more than ever.

The way I look at it,

Im doing him a favor.

As I see it,

you're up to your old tricks.

He's at your house, isn't he?

Maybe.

I don't make his schedule.

Yeah, well,

I want him back here. Today.

We all want things. That doesn't

mean we're going to get them.

Bernie will be picking him up

in 15 minutes.

- He'd better have what belongs to me.

- I'll get the car ready.

Relax, Bernie. Joshua needs

a little more time in bed.

- He's injured and resting.

- Injured?

Don't worry, Everly,

his hands are still intact.

If you wanna get into this now,

just like this,

I'm gonna tell

the whole world about you.

It'll be great, huh?

You without any dignity.

You would take the

only thing I have left.

Now, be very careful

with this one.

- Still not here?

- No. What do you think happened to him?

The little bastard's upset and

now he wants to see us sweat.

Well, he's making

a good job of it.

Yeah, well,

Ive still got one more move.

Well, now would

be the time to use it.

Well... this is the call.

- Hello?

- Everly, how's everything going.

Fine, fine, it's all going well.

I believe the show is

gonna go very, very well

And we'll have everything

settled by next week, dauphine.

Everly, we are not a bank,

so let me be completely clear.

Next week, you pay the

balance owed to my group,

Or you turn over your

entire holdings to us.

Every house, every gallery,

every car, everything.

No more extensions.

Bernie, I want you to get

in your car and find that kid.

- Well, I...

- Just find him!

That's a good girl.

What's up? Hm?

Look, I don't

want any trouble, okay?

I'm just messing with ya.

Look, man, Im sorry, okay?

I was really stupid.

You should be. It was stupid.

But look, you gotta

make this right with my sister.

Yeah. I messed that up.

You did. But it's fixable.

Let's go fix it.

All right.

Yoo-Hoo. You have a visitor.

Hey, get over here.

Ah... this is cute.

- You two play nice.

- You're a brat.

Weirdo.

Hey.

Look, amber, I...

...I just wanted to apologize

For how things went

at the party.

It was stupid. I was stupid.

I just misread the whole situation

and I acted like an ass.

Yeah, you did.

And you embarrassed yourself.

I" All we are we are "

Yeah.

I" All we are we are "

I" Every day is a start. "

You know,

you're lucky you're cute.

I've heard that a few times.

Cocky.

So, uh... is that a

second chance then?

I believe you're

on your third chance.

Three strikes, you're out.

- Got it?

- Yeah.

Mind a little company?

Think it's gonna rain?

- Hard to say.

- True.

I want that painting back. You've

gotta give it back to me, Joshua.

Well, you know, I haven't

really made up my mind yet.

You're playing with fire, kid.

You know, Everly,

I like watching you squirm.

You know, all Ive done

is offer you a chance.

I'm giving you a golden pass to a life

where you can look after yourself.

Oh, really, like you?

You're mad at me

because you think I used you.

Well, it's true, I did. So what?

That's life. Nothing comes free.

Although, Anne-Marie wouldn't

want you to think that.

Whatever,

you're nothing like her.

- Really?

- Yeah, really. She has integrity.

That woman's got you twisted up in the head.

She has no integrity.

You wanna know about Anne-Marie?

I'll tell you.

Check out her studio.

Dig around. Dig deep.

You might find

something familiar.

See you around, kid.

Oh, good afternoon.

Is it?

What would you think

of calling Vanessa Reese today,

And just having a little chat with

her, you know, talk things over?

You know what I think?

This is what I think.

Joshua...

you're a liar.

I am not.

Why don't you listen to me? Why don't

you listen to what I have to say?

No. You're just like

the rest of them.

Oh...

I did the research you wanted

on that woman, Anne-Marie Cole.

- Oh, good, what'd you find?
