Chuck

Hi, I'm Chuck. Here are a few things you might need to know:

I have nothing to do with

Alexei Volkoff-- I haven't seen him in years.

Then why does he pay for the manor that you live in? Because I'm his daughter.

My father never gave me any key.

Yes, sweetheart, he did.

When you were young-- a token of his affection.

Your whole life your father's been grooming you.

You are his succession plan.

I give up.

Strange reaction.

Most people show a bit more enthusiasm

when they receive a gift.

Sorry. Who are you?

My name is Riley.

I'm your father's lawyer.

You father

left a letter for you.

"My dearest daughter Vivian,

"as you know,

"I've met an untimely demise...

Sorry. "I..."

What are you doing?

He specified that I read the letter in his voice.

He thought it would make you feel comfortable.

Please stop.

I spent several weeks perfecting this.

But fine.

Uh...

"I'm sorry I was never much of a father.

"If I could do it over again,

"I would trade my entire empire for another moment with you..."

"but we can't relive the past,

"which is why I have groomed you for the future.

"That card in my safe

will help you rebuild Volkoff Industries..."

Mr. Riley, I'm well aware that my father

now wants me to take over his evil corporation.

So how can I say no?

Hmm.

No.

Nobody ever said no to your father.

Than I'll be the first to do it.

I'm sorry.

I can't allow that.

Now perhaps you'd like to rethink your answer.

Okay, roses or orchids?

Uh, I don't know.

Uh, roses?

What do you think?

I think that flowers can really set the tone of a wedding.

you know, roses are-- are beautiful,

they're classic, they're passionate.

Not very whimsical.

And that's good?

If it's what you want.

Uh, okay.

Uh, well... Orchids?

Sorry. Sarah...

I'm sorry. I-I just--

I don't have a strong feeling either way.

I just don't think that maybe I'm cut out for this.

What if you just make the choices?

Okay, you know what?

Maybe-- maybe this girly stuff

is a little outside your comfort zone.

I will tell you that, at some point,

every bride feels a little overwhelmed with this stuff.

I totally did.

But there was a moment where that all changed.

I remember I had gone to pick up our wedding bands

and I finally held them in my hands.

And it all just became so real.

I was getting married

to the man that I love, for the rest of my life.

And then I just broke down crying,

which sounds ridiculous right now.

Yeah, a little.

A lot.

But it was a turning point, you know.

From that moment on, everything became magical.

It was my wedding.

I don't know when and I don't know where, Sarah,

but I promise you, it's going to happen to you.

You know what?

New apartment, I'm going to go no television.

It will be very liberating.

Kidding. I'm totally kidding.

72 inches, dude. Bam.

I was honestly about to smack you right now.

So how is the apartment hunting going, anyway?

It's uh... Oh, man, it couldn't be going better.

I found a place. A little pricey.

So I'm looking for a roommate right now.

Well, that shouldn't be a problem, right? I hope not.

And you know what, in the meantime,

it's kind of nice being at my mom's.

Buddy, I gotta say, I'm, uh, I'm a little relieved.

Chuck, this is needed on my part, okay?

I am growing mentally and emotionally, physically--

not so much physically.

But some people are saying that I'm acting taller.

Uh,I gotta get down to Castle.

Buddy, I'm so glad that everything's going so well.

You're killing it.

Have a great day.

See you soon.

Hey, son.

Sleep okay last night?

No. No, I did not.

Those cats outside the window are just so loud.

They gave me nightmares.

Yeah, cats.

Just a heads up-- Mm-hmm.

those cats are having a romantic dinner tonight.

And there might be more cat fighting

after dinner ends.

Unless your mom eats too much.

Listen, I don't want to think about you and my mom doing...

making a... slipping and...

Son, when you move into the forest,

you can't complain that the wildlife is making too much noise.

It's only natural.

And beautiful.

And frequent.

I need my own place. Yes, you do.

So then you went to Volkoff's headquarters

and you were attacked? Yes.

I shouldn't have gone to Moscow.

I don't know what I was thinking.

It's okay. You're safe here.

Now, this man Riley--

he wants you to rebuild your father's empire?

Yes.

But I told him I don't want

to have anything to do with my father.

Did he happen to say what his plan for rebuilding Volkoff was?

I think this may have something to do with it.

We need to talk to Beckman.

So Volkoff has all of his money in the First Bank of Macau.

We need to freeze those funds.

We do.

But the First Bank of Macau is no easy target.

It's really operated by the Guan Yi Crime Syndicate.

The guards are mercenaries.

We've lost agents inside of there before.

But we've never had an account holder working with us.

That makes Vivian the perfect asset.

With her help, we'll be able to get through

the bank's security

and access her father's account. Um, General,

I'm not so sure that Vivian is really built

for this sort of mission, you know.

Not to mention the fact that she was pretty clear

about never wanting to see her father again.

Well, it's your job to change all that.

You're a spy, she's an asset.

If this mission is going to work,

you need to turn that girl into a Volkoff.

Fabulously bearded man seeks roommate ASAP.

No, Morgan, don't lead with the beard, okay?

Let it be a pleasant surprise.

Morgan.

Hey buddy. You look sharp.

Listen, um, you're obviously a worldly fellow.

I was wondering if you could settle a little debate

betwixt us.

Where do you think

would be the best place to meet ladies--

a Renaissance Fair-- right? Or a methadone clinic?

It's okay if the ladies are really ugly.

Really? I don't... I don't... a Renaissance Fair.

Okay, interesting.

Next question-- can we have two weeks off

to to go a Renaissance Fair?

Not a chance.

See?

Look, I don't have time to discuss it.

I'm in the middle of a housing crisis

and I need to find a place now.

Really? Dude, dude.

We have an extra room in our apartment-slash-van.

So how about this?

A place to statay in exchange, for say, one week off.

Hmm.

Huh? No.

Manager to register seven, please.

Okay, I'm not... I'm done here.

Thank you for the offer,

but no thank you.

"Slash-van."

See yourselves out, please.

He's a heartbreaker; a soul crusher.

I'm going to pin that guy down and shave his beard.

Hmm.

It looks like Morgan's potential roommates are meeting him here.

Morgan won't let us go to the Renaissance Fair,

we'll bring the Renaissance Fair to us.

I have no idea what you're doing right now.

So you want me to help you break into my father's bank.
