The Arrangement

Previously on "The Arrangement"...

Wasn't sure I'd see you again.

Wanna try something new?

I said no!

I am going to lie down on your bed

and then I'm going to let you do whatever you want.

Leave Kyle. Come back with me to New York

when this is all over.

We're not sleeping together.

We respect each other's artistic sensibilities.

Megan, you're under contract. Well, that goes for Kyle too.

Lisbeth called him.

I don't want anything to get in the way of us.

Will you just trust me? Think I kidded myself into believing

you were totally over her.

There's a woman outside my influence.

I'm Detective Gaffey, LAPD. She has something on us.

Murder/suicide at the Institute of the Higher Mind,

ongoing investigation. How much do you want?

It's not money I'm after. She has a fantasy.

I cannot do what you're asking me to do.

I'm not asking. I made you,

but I will end you in a heartbeat.

Come in.

No. No!

What is that thing with the hand on his neck?

Did you see that in a movie or something?

Megan, you've got to make him believe you

or nobody else will.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm great.

So the car will pick you up here, take you to the hangar,

and they'll have you in New York in five hours

or your money back.

Then we'll have a car pick you up at the airport,

take you to Middletown... Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Rental car. Simple.

My friends will annihilate me

if I get dropped off in an Escalade.

Something white and underpowered then?

Preferably.

Anything else?

Yeah, you ever officiated a wedding?

No, I'm not exactly an expert

on relationships, so... Right?

And yet my sweet idiot of a best friend

wants me to marry her off anyway.

I have no idea what to say.

"I ain't an expert on love

"or what on God's earth

"would compel two completely different animals

"like a man and woman

"to devote their lives to each other,

"but I know what a home is.

"A home is where you eat, sleep, raise children.

"Where you feel safe enough to think about the future.

"That's what I see when I look at these two.

"I see home."

Sam Elliot in "Long Desert."

It's the second movie I ever did.

Maybe I'll use the accent.

I wish I was going with you.

Timing on this Billy Rathburn dinner really sucks.

Yeah. He's a great DP.

You'll be happy you stuck around to get him.

Yeah, as long as we have the deal in place

by the time he leaves for Prague Sunday night.

You will.

And I'll text you when I land.

Flying private,

you can text me whenever you want.

Oh... right.

Anyways...

I have to go.

Slow down.

You have to give it a couple of minutes.

I have to go to Anaheim.

Somehow convince this MacPherson woman

not to sell the story Kyle's been dying to direct

to another studio.

DeAnn, you're not ready. Trust me.

We took you way past your comfort zone.

You can't do that without going deep inside your head

and reorganizing the wiring.

Ten minutes.

That'll do. Mm.

So how long has this been your thing?

I have a lot of things.

I don't play the same role with everybody I sleep with.

None of us do.

Do you sleep with a lot of people?

Is that important?

Not really. It's just...

what you did with me was so specific,

and you seemed to know a lot about it.

I'm just wondering how you got there.

And what damage I must have endured.

If that's what it is.

Is that what you want it to be?

Me acting out, you going along for the ride?

Makes you an enabler.

Annika...

I get that you make your own choices.

I'm just interested in how you make them.

It's probably not that different than

how you and your husband make your choices.

We've chosen to agree

that monogamy is unrealistic.

But experimenting with sex...

it's a completely different experience when you're older.

You shouldn't worry about me.

I don't do anything casually,

and I don't believe in settling.

If I'm really interested in something, I pursue it.

Sounds so simple.

And now I really do have to go.

What if you don't?

Well, then Kyle doesn't direct his movie

and the universe explodes.

Does it really explode

or does it just open up?

Hey.

Are you aware that New York City

has an up and coming theater scene?

I have heard of such a thing.

Well, there's some real interest

in putting the play on up here. It'd be Off-Broadway,

but I've got some solid interest from legit investors

who haven't heard what a monster I am yet.

There's a meeting next week,

and it'd be great if you could be here

to hit them with some of that Megan Morrison razzle-dazzle.

You want me to come to New York?

Yes, and don't complain

because I know you can hop on a private jet

whenever you want.

I'm gonna plead the fifth on that one.

Are you there?

I'm here.

It's good to hear your real voice.

I've been hearing your monologue in my head for three weeks.

Come so we can have an actual conversation

in person.

With the investor, I mean.

I am gonna be back east this weekend

for a wedding. What?

But I don't know if I can come into the city.

Shut up! Of course you can.

Megan, it's meant to be. I can't do this without you.

Get out of the way.

Avoiding me is not gonna help you, Kyle.

We have to fix this together.

With bullshit conversations and apologies,

and you trying to convince me that everything you did was okay?

I'm not here to tell you it was okay.

It was not okay, it was horrible.

And I hate that I had to do it,

and I understand that you're angry,

but I'm asking you to do what I'm trying to do,

which is look at the bigger picture.

You can do this.

You've done the work, Kyle.

Locate your better self.

How hard did you fight for me?

How hard did you try to make a different deal with her?

Gaffey said you jumped at the chance

to pimp me out.

Why?

So you could remind me who's boss?

Kyle, think about what you're doing.

This violence,

it's a regression.

Maybe.

But at least now I see you.

You're a fraud.

Don't come near me again.

Thanks.

Hey, what's going on?

Hey, I, uh...

I know it's last minute, but...

can I go to the wedding with you?

I mean, sure. Yeah, of course,

but is everything okay?

Everything's fine.

What about your meeting with Rathburn?

I don't have it in me to romance the guy.

If he wants to do my film, he'll do my film.

Kyle, last time you blew town on a whim,

it was about the photos.

Is there something you're trying to get away from?

No.

You're just the only person I want to be with right now.

Okay.

Sorry, bad time? What is it?

The mayor's chief of staff will be here in 15 minutes

and you said you wanted to drop in on the facilitator training.

Huh.

You okay?

Just realized the last time I was here.

Day of my mother's funeral.
