The Catch

- Previously on "The Catch"... - I'm sorry, but we can't do this.

- It's not good for me. - Is the Christopher thing taking over?

- A little. - Call my therapist.

You are trying to make this a thing,

and this ain't a thing.

This was rebound sex.

How does one man outsmart us?

I think he's part of something bigger.

They're called the Kensington Firm.

They've been operating out of London since the '50s.

You are now looking at the proud new co-owner

of every Weatherby hotel in the country.

The Kensington Firm is now expanded into North America

But the U.S. is my territory.

Was your territory.

Alice Vaughan is the one who cost you America and Benji.

Tell me about the Kensington Firm.

What are you doing?

You're on their side, you're going down with them.

Pick a side.

Until you do, we're done.

I got a referral from your therapist.

Jessica Philips, MFT.

Don't hold anything back.

I could use some help.

Tell me everything.

She was his mark.

He was pretending to be in love with her for a year

so that we could get close to her clients.

I guess he wasn't pretending.

I am sorry, sis.

No, you're not.

You're just trying to distract me so I won't hit you back.

Oh, please. You've got no capital.

You've got no infrastructure...

- and now you've got no Benji. - All right, enough. Get out.

All right, look.

Alice Vaughan is a problem for both of us.

If he's told her about you,

he's told her about me and the firm.

We have to deal with her.

You want to kill her? Be my guest.

See if your precious Benji comes back to you then.

Or were you hoping that I would do it

and then he'd hate me and not you?

- Are you gonna tell him? - He'd only warn her.

I have to find out what she knows.

I've done some online reconnaissance

and found that Alice Vaughan

has her very first therapy appointment this week.

So, I'll pay a visit to her therapist.

I'll make her a very persuasive offer.

And then, when Alice arrives...

Alice Vaughan?

Jessie Phillips.

Please come in.

So, the man you were supposed to marry

stole everything from you and then disappeared?

Until...

I found him again.

And how did that happen?

I, um...

started working with the FBI to find him.

And when I finally did...

he told me it was real...

that what we had was real.

And I know he can't be trusted,

but...

Have you seen him since?

I haven't told anyone.

Are you sleeping with him?

He wants me to run away with him.

And that's why I'm here.

Because part of me really wants to do it.

Well, don't worry.

I won't let you.

I know... you said no more showing up unannounced.

Yeah, and I meant it.

But you also said not to call, so...

Are you here to help me take down the Kensington Firm?

No.

Then you can't be here.

I am here to show you why

you can't take down the Kensington Firm.

Drugs, arson, arms trading, murder.

These are the people you're loyal to?

These are the people who own me.

These are the people

with whom I got into business

before I knew any better.

And now that I do...

I am afraid for you.

Thank you.

These will be very helpful.

- Allie, I couldn't be more... - Look, I believe you.

Which is why I had Agent Shawn give me this,

which I promise I will not hesitate

to use on anyone who threatens me

or comes into my house uninvited.

Please, don't do this.

If you're not gonna help me, you have to go.

Why are you so determined

to get me out of Los Angeles all of a sudden?

I mean, are you tired of me?

Am I that terrible?

No, I'm just saying I'm happy to look after your interests here

if you'd prefer to go back home to London.

Wait, so...

you'd be willing to come back to the firm?

I would.

How does my sister feel about this?

Is she part of the package?

Well, I haven't discussed it with her yet,

but I was thinking why not have Margot

take over the East Coast operations for the firm?

Ah.

I see... you want to get me out of town.

You want to get her out so you can spend

more nights with... what was her name?

- You never said. - We're not seeing each other anymore.

Oh, you all right?

Maybe I should stick around... you know, cheer you up a bit,

get Bad Benji back out to play.

I think I'll be all right.

What do you say? Do we have a deal?

Well... let's ask Margot first.

And then, if you're still alive,

you tell me whether we have a deal.

Alice, Kelsey's here.

Okay.

So, how do you guys know each other?

Me and Sophie?

I was a total fangirl.

Of...?

Sophie's.

Do they not know?

She's a ridiculous singer.

What?

- Okay. - We used to be in a band together.

You were in a band?

There are videos I will show you.

Okay, you're putting that away.

- Why? - But they're adorable.

It was a long time ago.

There was a ukulele involved, and that's all I'll say.

What was the name of the band?

May I walk you to the conference room?

I should never have signed the contract.

Sophie told me not to.

I didn't tell you not to.

I just said

you're basically signing your life away

and making no money.

It's a standard major-label recording contract.

So, why sign with a major label?

Because they spend millions promoting the record.

And because they hooked me up with Nathan Ashmore.

- Nathan Ashmore? - The songwriter-producer.

He's a pop genius.

He's a one-man Beatles, a one-man ABBA.

Did you just put ABBA on the same level as the Beatles?

He writes nothing but hits.

And he saved my life.

My boyfriend and I were broke.

We had nowhere to live, and he moved us into his studio,

paid for everything,

and we recorded an awesome album together.

So, then why do you want out of your contract?

Because PMG won't release it.

- PMG is... - The Panoply Music Group.

Kelsey has a seven-album deal with Nathan,

but Nathan's deal is with PMG.

And I can't spend the rest of my life

making albums with Nathan that PMG won't put out.

Did they say why they won't release it?

No, they won't even tell Nathan.

So, let us find out for you.

You would do that?

For a friend of Sophie's? Absolutely.

Margot?

Are you all right?

I've been calling.

'Cause you're worried about me?

You talked to Rhys, didn't you?

Look, I know you're upset, but the firm has resources

we don't have... that we'll never have.

So, why not team up with them again?

What?

Just hear me out. He'd go back to London.

You'd take over the East Coast.

I'd run the West.

And we'd all get together for Christmas?

Have you lost your mind?

What's the alternative? We have nothing.

- We're starting from nothing. - And whose fault is that?

Who let Alice Vaughan take everything from us?

And now you want to go running off to work for my idiot brother

so that you can stay in Los Angeles

while I, what, disappear off to New York?

Tell me why.
