- Hey.
- Hey! So what's the word on Tim?
He came through the triple bypass
with flying colors.

Thank God.

It's not all coming up roses.

He's not gonna be able to come back
to work for four-and-a-half months.

Oh.

What?

Company still needs to expand,

so they need a fit, heart-smart guy
like me to step up, take the ball.

- You're going after his promotion?
- No.

I already got it.
You should have seen me.

I walked straight into Peterson's office

and told him he would be a fool
to hold Duggan's promotion.

- You called your boss a fool?
- I did.

That was risky in retrospect.
But still he gave me the job.

- Oh, my God. That's great.
- Honey, it's me.

- I got the whole west coast.
- Oh, my... What? What?

I thought you were going after
an in-house position.

No. I'm setting up new offices
from Seattle to LA. I told you that.

No.

No, you didn't.

OK. Well, so it's gonna be
a little bit more travel, but...

Tom, you're barely here
half the time as it is.

Now you're gonna have,
what, twice the workload?

Honey, please don't ruin this.

You should have consulted with me.

I did! You told me
to stop being a shrinking violet.

I thought
this was an in-house position.

OK, I'm gonna go shower.

Look, wait. Wait.
I know what this means to you.

No, you don't.
No, you don't. I am 41 years old.

If I don't make vice president now,
it's never gonna happen.

This is my career.
It's important to me.

So was mine. But I'm here, aren't I?

I'm gonna take the job.

She said you broke up with her
because she refused to have sex.

Wow! Um... OK, here's the deal.

I said that.
But it was just an excuse.

I mean, the truth is,
I wasn't that into her.

Really?

She was always so proud
of never having done it,

I figured, "Hey, this is my way out."

Well, she feels
very passionately about you.

Don't get me wrong. She's nice.
But the truth is, there's someone else.

Oh, are you going steady?

Not exactly. We were seeing
each other pretty regularly,

but this other lady... girl,
she sort of dumped me.

Oh, I see.

Look, I'll talk to Danielle and
don't worry, I'll let her down gently.

Um, actually,
I would prefer if you didn't.

Huh?

I know my daughter.
She's very determined.

Unless you're really firm with her,
she'll think there's hope.

OK. I'll be firm.

Better still,

be brutal.

- Decided to indulge your sweet tooth?
- I'll be dead inside a year.

I've got bigger things to worry about
than my waistline.

So, who's the woman
they think you killed?

Martha Huber. Local busybody.
I thought her murder was random.

Nothing random about her jewelry
ending up in your garage.

Did you kill her?

No. Whoever set me up did a good job.
The cops are all over me.

- You're getting close to something.
- If I am close, I don't see it.

People leave trails. One of those trails
will lead to Deidre.

Whoever set you up must know that.

Maybe, but I won't
be much good to you locked up.

I'm rich, Mike. One of the best things
about being rich

is the security of knowing you can
buy your way out of any problem.

I'm not taking my money to the grave.
I'm gonna use it to save your ass.

- Mrs. Solis?
- Hello, Justin.

- What are you doing here?
- I am here to talk to your roommate.

John? I didn't think
you guys talked any more.

Well, now we have something
to talk about. You.

- Me?
- Yes.

How you're trying to blackmail me
into sleeping with you.
