Fortune Defies Death

Where the hell have you been?

- I got here as fast as legally possible.

Do you have my will?

Yes, sir.

I think we should take him to the hospital.

- No, George wants to stay at home.

Reminds him of his wife and his daughter.

Don't you think we should--

The will.

I want to change it.

- Stacey, could you please leave us?

Thank you.

I, George Woods, declare this to be

my last will and testament.

I revoke all wills and codicils previously made.

So, you want your will to be read 10 years

after you're deceased?

That's not typically how it's done,

but I don't see any reason-- - Do it.

- What if they find Mona by then?

Then read it immediately.

And the envelopes?

- Notarize them as soon as possible.

- I understand, all under the 10 year term.

Stacey!

George.

George.

20 observers have--

Hello?

Hey, Scott?

It's Charlie.

Charlie.

What the hell do you want?

Listen,

you get a letter from Uncle George's lawyer?

Yeah, so?

Yeah, we need to talk.

About what?

Your wife, Mona.

Go ahead.

Found this old photo of Mona,

thought you might wanna check, actually, you know what?

I'll show it to you at the cabin.

Later.

Wait.

Charlie.

Hello?

No.

Yes, I'll be home as soon as this will is read.

Just tell Jacob, tell Jacob I'll make the game.

Yes.

I just have to take care of a few things up here first.

Love you.

Oh hey, that's Uncle Charlie.

But I guess he didn't see us.

Oh, Mr. Pearson?

That's me.

It's good to see you.

- I know, it's been quite a while.

Sorry for the intrusion but you know

this was Mr. Woods' idea.

- Oh, there's no need to apologize.

I completely understand.

Besides, this was George's place anyway.

Oh please, come in, come in.

Stacey.

It's so good to see you.

- Good to see you, too, Brenda.

- Oh, and who is this handsome young man?

This is my grandson, Jeff.

He was about, oh, this tall when last you saw him.

Right.

It's been more than 10 years since George passed.

- Guess we got the whole friggin' weekend

for a little dysfunctional family reunion.

So, what do ya think, Scott?

- I don't have time for this shit, Charlie.

- Mind if I show you a photo I found?

What is this?

I thought you said you had a photo of Mona.

It's in the car.

I'll show you that one later.

Just found this baby stashed in here.

That woman is a total bitch.

She tried to seduce Uncle George out of his cash.

I caught them once before.

- George passed away a long time ago, Charlie.

Whatever happened, happened.

Thanks for your help on the side of the road.

Sure.

And just so ya know, I've gathered everybody's dirt.

So?

- So, get ready for the Woods family

who done it Wheel of Fortune.

I hate you.

- Everything's fine. - Great.

Katharine.

Do you remember this photo?

Nice.

I was just telling Randy that we all

haven't been together since this Halloween party.

- Lots of great old photos around here.

Right, Brenda?

- Please behave yourself, Charlie.

Ah, that's no fun.

I think this gathering

is gonna be even better than the party.

Thanks for hosting us, Brenda.

Charlie, stop causing trouble

and come take a look at this.

Have you seen it before?

I have.

Then it disappeared.

I thought Uncle George didn't like it

so he threw it away.

- Yeah, he was going to but I brought it here.

See, that's me.

I'm the witch.

What did you wear, Charlie?

Were you Casper?

No, no way.

I hate Casper.

Randy, remember who Casper was at the party?

Me? No.

I was completely drunk.

I think I slept through most of the party.

Oh yeah, yeah, that's right.

You snore like a dead hog when you're drunk.

I remember having to drive you home that night.

- All right, come on, let's do this.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, steady.

Steady. - Oh, here we are.

Hey, goodnight everybody!

- Bye! - Woo!

Here we are.

In ya go.

- Damn lawyer asked me a bunch of questions

like I'm a criminal.

If Nadia's not gonna get her cut,

then we don't need to be here.

Yeah, I agree.

Honestly, I don't even know why I'm included in this.

I thought Uncle George never liked me.

You were always his favorite nephew, Randy.

You and Charlie.

Yeah right.

Charlie's different, he worked for George.

Me?

Ask Stacey.

George treated me better as an employee than a nephew.

No, wait, I take that back.

I got diddly squat when I worked for the old man.

- Ooh, but maybe you shouldn't blame that on Uncle George.

I mean, you put it all up your nose.

- The old bastard owes me back pay.

- But you lost half the business.

- And Charlie, you burned me, too, remember?

I loaned you the money for that shady deal you put together.

I never got any money back from it.

Shut up, Brenda.

I know all your dirty secrets.

Well we shouldn't argue.

I'm sure George left you all a little something

and of course it's only fair to consider me

as a part of that--

- So take all of his cash to your grave.

- Listen, Mr. Cocaine, I'm looking out for my grandson.

I'm outta here.

Me, too.

- Hey, Mandy-Bird, no hug for your Uncle Charlie?

Later, Uncle Charlie.

- Hey Charlie, stay away from my daughter.

Whoa, okay.

Geez.

Haven't been here in so long.

- Seriously, let's hope it doesn't fall down.

Come on, slow poke.

Oh my gosh.

On my own pace.

- Ya know, I remember it being bigger.

Yeah, me, too.

Poor George.

After his wife died I told him to come over any time

and he took me literally.

Every damn night for dinner I couldn't get rid of him.

- So then ya turned around and lived in his house.

He was my brother.

Hey, I'm blood, too.

We're all blood.

Except for Mrs. Jordan and Scott.

Hey, I'm just here for Nadia.

When Mona...

To get Nadia's cut.

- Uncle George obviously hoped Mona

would've turned up by now.

Oh, for God's sake.

If Mona hasn't shown up for all these years,

I don't think she's gonna show up tonight.

I agree with Katharine.

It's been more than 10 years since Mona disappeared.
