Revenge

My father was an innocent man,

The Graysons are behind this, and they're gonna pay.

I've dedicated my life to avenging his death...

Eventually, someone's gonna find you out.

And I won't stop

Until they've all paid i1}the price.

He showed up the night of Conrad's election.

I had no doubt that he was my firstborn.

- Margaux Lemarchal. - Pascal Lemarchal's daughter.

I'm a fan of all of his publications,

- Especially "Voulez." - That's why I've moved here...

To start the american version.

You're responsible for what happened

- to Conrad today, aren't you? - I will let them suffer.

These are terrible people doing terrible things.

Finish this, then leave for good,

Let's get married before the end of the summer.

- What are you doing here? - Same thing as you...

Looking to destroy the girl next door.

It is believed that original sin

Can only be cleansed by the waters of baptism.

but it is the sins that follow

that are not so easily washed away.

And since forgiveness of trespass

is only granted to the truly penitent,

pure evil can never be erased.

We're miles away from prying eyes.

I think we can proceed.

Proceed with exactly what, Mr. Mathis?

Three days ago, you re-emerge,

claiming a vendetta against Emily Thorne.

I don't usually trust people who tell me

exactly what I want to hear.

I'm not the only one who wants Emily to suffer.

Well, that's rather extreme, considering the two of you had

what amounted to a summer fling.

Our history predates the Hamptons. There is a great deal about

- that girl you don't know. - So now we get to the heart of the matter...

You're in love with her.

She betrayed me in a way you couldn't even imagine.

Or maybe you can...

As I'm sure David Clarke's treachery lit a fire inside you.

Do not make inferences to my past,

Nor try to compel me by straining to link David

With whatever Emily is up to.

Don't be so sure.

Once upon a time...

David Clarke attempted to destroy your livelihood.

And now you've lost it

- at the hands of Emily and Nolan Ross. - Neither one of them

has a monetary concern in the world.

A scammer like Emily has, uh, other motives.

- Why should I believe you? - Because I did it with them.

But the moment they got what they wanted,

I was summarily cast out so I want Emily to feel that same kind of betrayal,

which means only one thing... Teaming up with you.

We can make her pay, Victoria.

But you're gonna have to trust me.

Trust is difficult without proof.

Well, then you'll have it.

Is that "Voulez"?

Wow. Margaux must have made quite the impression

to get you to read what you called,

"A rag about nothing but dresses and hair."

I shouldn't have judged this magazine by its cover.

You know, it turns out they have some significant

political and cultural pieces, too.

Why the sudden interest?

Instead of going crazy waiting around for my Huntington's test results,

I'm grabbing the taureau by the horns

and having dinner with Margaux at Muse tonight.

I want to help her run "Voulez."

You really think you could do this?

Well, I've always dreamt of having a job

where I could be more creative.

I just have to bone up on piping and scoop necks.

Unless, of course, my fashion-fluent fiancée

was by my side.

Of course. I'll call Muse and make it dinner for three.

You're perfect.

That's it.

Oh.

Three days of moping in the dark

- is the legal limit. - I am not moping.

I am avoiding the telephoto lenses

trying to document

how they think the mighty have fallen,

which I most certainly have not.

Booze in the morning looks a lot like denial, dad.

So does moving out at your father's expense.

Look, you're here every day,

So why not just save yourself the commute

from your friends' couches?

Well, first of all, they have guest houses.

And I might have to move back just to keep

a drink out of your hand.

I'm getting you through this, whether you want me to or not.

You know, I may have used up all my good luck on you...

And it was worth it.

Tell my driver where, and he'll be happy

to provide you with your drive of shame,

or... Fame. (chuckles)

Bye....

You. (chuckles)

- Not even learning names now? - Less mess.

Especially after my P.T.S.D. ...

Padma, Tyler, sexual damage.

just be careful who you let come and go.

Until I find Daniel a job in the city...

I need to be able to trust you with this.

Uncapping that red sharpie now that jack set a deadline.

So... Who's next to get got with red on their face?

Paul Whitley.

He was in charge of enticing investors to Grayson Global.

My father saw him holding closed-door meetings

with everyone who eventually betrayed him.

So Conrad used Paul's silver tongue

to sway the undecided

I always wondered how so many people

turned against a man as good as your dad.

Now you have your answer.

And I have my next challenge. Why?

Is he... Some untouchable C.E.O.?

He works for an even higher power.

Father Paul?

You must be Emily.

So nice to finally put a face to a name.

I could say the same.

This is my fiancé, Daniel Grayson.

Conrad and Victoria's son?

Yeah.

I used to work for your father a long time ago.

- At Grayson Global? - Mm.

Wow, what a coincidence.

I don't believe much in coincidence.

Couldn't agree more, Father.

Revenge S03E46 "Sin"

Then I did some missionary work overseas

before being assigned to St. Francis.

That's quite a radical shift from the corporate life.

Why did you do it?

Well, I was there for the David Clarke scandal.

and when he died in prison,

it really hit me what greed can do to a soul.

So I looked out my office window and all the way uptown,

and I knew that there were millions of souls

on the street, tormented, that I could help

in ways that I hadn't helped him.

So I quit Grayson Global, joined the seminary,

and ten years later, here we are.

I'm sorry. I heard about

your father's Huntington's diagnosis.

How are your parents holding up?

Well, as good as could be expected, I guess.

I take it you're not in touch with them anymore.

They weren't exactly happy with my exit from the firm.

Well, since you're officiating, maybe this was meant to be.

Hey, father, do you... Do you mind? - Oh, go ahead.

T-try her out, take her out for a test drive,

see how she feels.

My gut tells me you aren't the girl

that dreamt of a big church wedding.

Yeah, I guess I just...

Always imagined something much simpler.

The Graysons do pull you into their world, don't they?

Something like that.

Imagine the look on his face

when he sees you come down this aisle.

It'll be a dream come true.

So what do you think?

People gonna miss the Salisbury steak?

- As someone who's had it, no. - Huh.

Hey, Charlotte.

That's "aunt" Charlotte. Can you say that?

I didn't know you were coming by.

I'm just making my rounds.

I check in on dad to lift his spirits,

and then lift mine with this cute face.

Oh. Oh, wait.

Oh, Carl.

Calms him down every time.

Amanda was beautiful.

Yeah. And there's Declan.

I keep thinking back to the last time I spoke to him.

It's okay, Charlotte.

I still can't believe they're gone.

And now dad's dying.

How can such bad things happen to good people?

- Mr. Grayson, please. - Come on in.

Paul.

It's been a long time, Victoria.

That I had laid eyes on you for the last time years ago.

Trust me, I had no intention

Of ever seeing you or Conrad again.

The lord works in mysterious ways.
