Caught by Love (2026) Movie Script
1
Oooh!
Sorry.
- Oh, gotcha.
- Sorry.
Are you all right?
I... y-yes.
Yes.
Here let me help you with this.
Oh, no.
You don't have to.
Oh.
It was... a long layover.
It's fine.
Of course.
- Right.
- Of course
Well, I don't usually just go
falling into people like that.
Well, I'm honored
to be the exception.
Thank-thank you.
Yeah.
Have a good day.
You too, yeah.
All right. Namaste.
Now, you have a good day.
Welcome to The Monarch.
Checking in?
Yes.
Annie Collins.
Oh. I'm sorry, I can't seem
to find your reservation.
Oh, I think it's under
a different name.
Joanna Mitchum.
Ah.
Yes. I can see
the note on the account.
Is this your first time
staying with us, Ms. Collins?
Yes.
And have you been
to any of our sister sites?
Bali. The Maldives.
No? No?
No.
Well, allow me to introduce you
to your home away from home
for the next seven days.
Right this way.
Here at Monarch Malta,
we take a holistic approach
to wellness,
A carefully curated
experience combining fitness,
nutrition and meditation
to help our guests leave
with a sense of spiritual
growth and enlightenment.
All in one week?
You'd be surprised.
Sometimes all a person
needs is a new perspective.
Here is our main pool and we
have a lower pool beachside.
Lara, can you take those towels
to the laundry?
Of course.
It's that way.
Right.
First day.
Oh.
What's up gang?
It's your girl Kim Travels
here in beautiful Malta.
Come with me as I give you
all the details
on this five-star luxury resort.
Remember to hit the like button
and subscribe.
Oh, they have a gravity pool.
That's new.
We need to try it.
Oh, I wish you'd put that away
while we're here.
We're supposed to be relaxing.
I'll just be a minute.
It's not a getaway if
you bring your life with you.
Please.
Okay.
Thank you.
What's at it now?
All right, let's go.
Buy the dip.
Whoa!
Excuse me. What?
The chlorine is too strong.
I have a delicate constitution.
I'm not sure there's anything
we can do
once it's in the water.
Oh, well...
I can already feel
my skin flushing.
Please schedule an Edelweiss
Facial, suite 25.
Okay.
Thank you.
King bed.
You may, of course, choose the
shape and fill of your pillow.
Oh, wow.
I don't think I've ever been
greeted by flowers before.
You have a large soaking tub
and shower,
and right out here
you have a spacious balcony
with a view of
the Mediterranean.
Wow.
This is your itinerary
for the week.
Sound bath?
It's a kind of therapy
that uses sonic vibrations.
Sound bath, right.
You're very fortunate
you chose this week to stay
with us.
Mr. Carlisle himself
will be leading
your one on one session.
Mr. Carlisle?
Robert Carlisle, the owner.
Right.
Yes, when he's on the island,
he likes to be
a little bit more hands on.
You'll meet him at
the welcome dinner in an hour.
One hour.
Do you have any other questions?
No. Thank you so much.
My pleasure.
Hey.
Hi. Do you have a minute?
I'm just finalizing
a recent acquisition.
I have a minute.
How's The Monarch?
The towels are scented
like lavender,
and they're folded up
into the shape of little swans.
I'm gonna leave it.
Pretty great, right?
It's amazing.
So I got picked up from the
airport by a personal valet,
and he offered me water
in a glass bottle
from some kind of an iceberg.
I wasn't even thirsty
but, girl, I drank it.
Jo, thank you so much for this.
You're welcome.
I'm gonna say it,
though. I think that...
No, Annie.
It is. It's too much.
It's too much.
No, the timing
worked out perfectly.
I'm glad you got
to take my place.
Yeah. And your luggage
with your clothes
and all of your shoes.
I mean, these things
nearly got me killed.
I do not know how
you walk in them.
You get used to 'em.
And, you know, it's nice
to reach the high shelves.
I think I'll probably stick
to flats.
You did put flats
in there, right?
I wish I could be there.
I am so excited for you.
After my stay at The Monarch,
I left with a clarity
and determination that
I'd never had before.
And I want that for you.
After all the sacrifices
you made,
you deserve to do something
just for you.
- I...
- Embrace the adventure, Annie.
It's only the beginning.
Thank you.
I started The Monarch resorts
with a single mission
to help others achieve
their fullest potential.
You give us a week, and we'll
provide you with the tools
to take the reins of your life.
It'll be a truly
transformational experience.
How do we achieve our dreams?
First, we must
dare to dream them.
The only limitation
to your success
is you.
My sincerest hope
is that you leave the resort
with a renewed sense of purpose
and hopefully a tan.
No, but please do
wear your sunscreen.
Thank you, everybody.
Enjoy.
He's really good.
I wonder if he has a podcast.
I'm Kimberly.
Annie.
So, are you here with anyone?
My boyfriend's meeting me
in a few days.
For now, I'm flying solo.
You?
It's just me.
Well, then, I'm glad we met.
We can be solo together.
Afternoon, ladies.
Oh, sorry.
Could I trouble you
for a cup of coffee?
Oh, I'm sorry,
we don't have coffee.
Maybe a very strong green tea.
Our menu doesn't contain
caffeine, sugar or alcohol.
Wow.
A full-body detox is critical
to achieve
a greater sense of joy, calm,
and emotional alignment.
Ha!
Can I offer one
of our fiber juices?
It's psyllium, cinnamon water
and sweetened with beet juice.
No, a water is good
because I love water.
Great.
I'll try it.
I'll bring one over.
Thank you.
What do you think
of aerial yoga?
It sounds high.
My channel is called
Kim Travels.
I have reviews of resorts
from all over the world.
Last month, I spent three days
in a remote cabin in the Alps.
- Oh.
- Ever been?
No. I think this is the first
vacation I've had in forever.
Well, you picked
the right place.
The Monarch is
the wellness retreat du jour.
I wanted to come for years.
His name is Jake.
Wh... I...
He's a venture capitalist
from Chicago.
I met him earlier.
Uh, who?
The guy you're staring at.
Oh, no.
See, I wasn't.
You should go say hello.
Why?
Because he's cute.
Maybe you'll hit it off.
You're in paradise.
Perfect place for romance.
I'm here to work on myself.
I'm not here looking
for romance.
Honey, who says
you can't do both?
That's a beautiful necklace.
Oh, thanks.
It's a gift.
You must be very special
to someone.
Yes, I was for a moment.
Excuse me.
Yes.
This soup is too hot.
Oh, well,
if you give it a minute.
I would like you
to bring it back
to the kitchen and cool it down.
But...
You know what?
You are right.
It could ruin the palate.
Yeah.
Ma'am, if you could take mine
as well, please.
Thank you.
Of course, sir.
Thank you.
They're so accommodating here.
Well...
Hey, do you have
200-400 in that bag?
I'm sorry.
I couldn't help but notice
with that the lens
you're shooting with
is really good for close-ups.
But if one of those pretty
birds takes off,
you're really going to want
the versatility of the 200-400.
Are you a photographer?
Oh, no, I'm not.
But my mom actually was,
but she used to let me
tag along on shoots, so I...
Well, thank you for the tip.
Of course.
Uh...
May I?
Oh, I...
Come on, come on.
A bird in motion.
Like, like a parrot.
No.
- Uh... Oh, no, no.
- It's great.
Oh, come on,
it's a great picture.
Thank you.
Beautiful.
Um...
Anyway, I'll see you later.
- Of course. Yes.
- Yeah.
Thanks again.
No problem.
- Bye.
- Good day.
I've been trying to organize
this for days now.
I need an answer.
I'm only here for a week.
I'll be waiting.
Hi. Sorry, I didn't mean
to scare you.
It's all right.
I didn't realize anyone
was out here.
So here's where you ran off to.
Just to step out for some air.
Have you seen my sunglasses?
Maybe I left them by the pool.
They're on the bedside table.
Oh.
Oh. Good evening, neighbor.
I'm Carolyn, and this
is my husband, Peter.
Hi. I'm Annie.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Pleasure.
Well, Annie, I'm sure
we'll see you around the resort.
I hope so.
Sweetheart, they have those
wonderful bath salts...
This soup could ruin the palate.
I was getting her to trust me.
And it worked, by the way.
By dessert, she had told
me everything
from her street address
to her star sign.
Mmhmm.
Virgo. In case you were
wondering.
I wasn't.
The next time you go undercover,
I get to be the wealthy guest
and you can be staff.
Oh, but I look too good
in this suit, right?
Yeah.
It's a mystery
why you're still single.
Hey, I agree with you on that.
Hey, what's her name?
Don't have her name yet.
I saw the initials
on her luggage, JM.
Joanna Mitchum.
Mm.
Mm.
Okay, so tell me
about these guests.
I've only started,
but first, your dinner pal
was Rebecca Bauer.
She's royalty, literally.
Her father's a Duke.
Wow.
Colin Scruggs, Silicon
Valley wunderkind.
A regular at
the World Series of Poker.
Kimberly Price.
She's a popular influencer.
Her mother is the founder
and CEO of a telecom company.
Peter and Carolyn Marks.
He's a real estate mogul.
Net worth in the billions
with a B.
Whoa.
Multiple houses, but their
main residence is Madrid.
And what about her?
His wife?
What does she do?
She looks pretty active in
the philanthropic spaces.
It's also their anniversary.
Ah, Crestvell Diamond necklace
sounds like
a pretty nice anniversary gift.
Definitely.
We've never started a case
with so little to work with.
I know, but Lara, honestly,
the reward money
that the museum is putting up
that could be a game-changer
for us.
Just think about it.
We could have an office
that doesn't share a wall
with a SoulCycle.
And according to this tip...
Somebody at the hotel
is the buyer.
I'm on a probationary period
where they train me
on all the stations.
I have to go.
You think you can make friends.
Yep. Of course.
I'm gonna start with the Marks
first thing in the morning.
I'll put you
on to their excursion.
Oh, and, hey, we only have
six days to figure out
who the buyer is.
I know.
Morning.
Morning.
We certainly have lucked out
with this weather.
Yeah.
Excuse me.
Okay. Good talk.
Hi.
Oh, hi.
- You were right about the lens.
- Oh.
I've got some great shots.
Oh, good.
So glad to hear it.
Yeah.
You know, I have to admit,
it has been a while
since I've ridden.
I'm sure you'll be fine.
- Like they say, it's like...
- Riding a bicycle.
Right. Why did I say that?
Yeah. No.
I, um...
If you'll just excuse me.
Yeah sure, of course.
Thanks.
Hi.
Thank you for that.
All right, everyone,
we are about to start our tour
through Manikata.
So just...
Mr. Evers, will
you be joining us today?
No?
Oh. All right.
Everyone else grab a bike.
Yes.
Any bike, any bike.
Don't be shy.
Don't be shy.
Maybe a big one for you.
All right.
Majjistral Park spans
six kilometers
of protected coastland and is
home to one of the largest...
Should I just get an Uber back?
No, definitely not.
I just got to get the slip
chain back
on the spiky wheel thing
and, uh, pick it up.
Okay.
And yep.
Nice.
Good as new.
Wow.
- I'm impressed.
- Nice.
You're a mechanic.
Oh, hardly.
Probably could have got
someone to do that for you.
It's an easy fix.
Thanks, Annie.
Of course.
Annie?
Yeah.
Oh, silly me.
We never officially met,
Annie Collins.
Jake Daltry.
Here... you...
Yeah.
Is, uh, Annie a nickname?
Actually, yes. I'm named
for my grandmother.
She's Annabelle.
Oh. It's just that
on your luggage,
there was a monogram JM.
You're very observant.
Well, they were large letters.
Well, you got me.
The luggage is actually
my friend Joanna's,
as was the reservation
and the remarkably high heels.
Okay, that's as good as it gets.
Thank you.
Of course.
Hm.
Remarkable.
It really is.
Anyway, good luck.
Jim. Jim, who likes to swim?
Swim Jim.
What's that?
Oh, that's nothing really.
It's just a silly thing I do
to try and remember
people's names.
I say their name and then
associate something with that,
maybe that they like to do or
how I met them, for example.
Jim is going to be competing
in an Ironman triathlon.
So, uh. yeah.
You do that for everyone?
Yeah.
What did you associate with me?
Well, uh, I don't think I did.
You just seemed like Jake.
So, you know everybody
in the group?
Yes.
Who's that?
Oh, that.
That is Carolyn.
Yeah, we actually met
last night.
We're sweet neighbors.
She couldn't find her pair
of sunglasses.
Pair, care.
O-lin.
It's not an inexact science
for now, but, yeah, she's, uh,
she's married to Peter.
Okay. Um, earlier I tried to
have a conversation with him,
and it petered out.
Just like that.
Well, now I will remember.
Annie.
And.
No. You just-
you seem like an Annie.
Her social media
accounts are all private.
She doesn't have much
of a digital footprint.
Intentionally low profile?
No, there's something about her
that doesn't quite add up.
She's-she's too nice.
Being nice is now suspicious.
Yeah.
Joanna Mitchum, on the other
hand, was very easy to find.
She's the founder and CEO
of JBM.
Should I know what that is?
Cosmetic company.
They make an excellent
lip plumper.
Lip plumper?
Mhm.
I'll take your word for it.
She has very deep pockets.
She just won a Kandinsky
in a bidding war.
So you think Annie's doing
her dirty work?
Do you want me
to get us a key to her room?
No. Not yet.
We have to play this right.
We could be dealing with a
very sophisticated criminal.
Press with your hands down
and sit inside the hammock.
Grab a hold of the fabric
and pull yourself up
to stretch the legs out
to the front.
Turn and start
lifting up your legs.
Start leaning back.
Grab the fabric
with your both hands.
Open the feet and the thighs.
Start leaning back.
Bring the feet
around the fabric.
Stay for a few moments
with the head down.
Relax your head and neck.
Shoulders.
Soften your chest.
Do you need help?
I think I do.
Why does everything
healthy taste so sad?
I kind of like it.
What do you think psyllium is?
I think it's a seed.
Are you okay?
Yeah. It's fine.
Ladies.
Annie, I was wondering if
you'd have lunch with me.
Oh, um...
She'd love that.
Great.
So I worked at a hedge fund
in the San Francisco area.
That's very impressive.
Do you like it?
Yes. It affords me
a certain lifestyle.
I get to travel to
beautiful places
and meet interesting people.
I'm sure you can relate.
It looks like you have a taste
for the finer things as well.
I do?
Mhm. Couldn't help but notice
that watch
is worth at least six figures.
This? Are you sure?
Wow.
Is that your friends as well?
Um, yes.
Yeah.
She booked this trip and she
had a work obligation come up,
so just kind of here
in her place.
She sounds like a good friend.
She came to this resort
two years ago.
She says it's life-changing.
Are you looking to change
your life?
Mm.
No, I'm just here
for the micro-greens.
Right. Yeah, micro-greens.
They are very...
soothing.
So soothing.
So tell me,
what do you do for work?
Oh, well...
I am also in finance.
But tell me, why do you think
it is that we're so quick
to define ourselves by our jobs?
You know, it's as if
that's the most interesting
or important thing about us.
So how else should
we define each other?
Maybe by like, a fun
or interesting fact.
Go ahead.
Uh, a fun or...
I collect stamps.
That is fun.
It's a hobby I picked up
from my grandfather.
And because I travel a lot
for work,
it's something
I can easily keep up with.
Your grandfather?
Yeah.
That's really nice.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm so sorry.
I have to get
to my next session.
Of course, don't want
to keep you.
No pressure.
Thank you.
I gotcha.
Here we go.
You push, I'll pull.
There we go.
All right.
There we go.
Good to see you.
Just allow
the vibrations to wash over you.
Shh.
Oh, uh...
I didn't say anything.
I can hear you thinking.
It's very aggressive.
Sorry.
Let me ask you a question.
Yeah.
When you're walking
on the sidewalk
and strangers coming in
the opposite direction.
Do you step aside?
- Yes.
- Huh?
Is that bad?
To truly achieve the things
that we want-
Uh-huh.
We must prioritize ourselves.
When you step aside
for someone else,
you're stepping off
of your own path.
I just kind of thought it
was the polite thing to do.
Take this notepad, and I want
you to write a list
of all the things you wish
to accomplish in life.
This is a chance for you
to leave the old Annie behind
and be whoever it is
you've always wanted to be.
It says she's just a bank teller
from Bemidji, Minnesota.
Maybe this is a decoy account.
Maybe she really is
just here on vacation.
Mhm.
Uh, if you could send
a few extra pillows
to my room, please.
What? Get your own pillow.
Uh, excuse me.
Lara, a word, please.
When a guest makes a request,
we do our very best
to accommodate.
Of course. I will
remember that.
I'm going to need you to cover
the herbal medicine
session tomorrow.
Margot is unavailable.
Herbal medicine?
Is that a problem?
Your resume says you have
an extensive background
in aromatherapy and tincture.
Right. It was
my minor in college.
Not my...
Class starts at 10:00.
Thanks!
Sorry.
I mean, he's charming,
but we live in completely
different worlds.
Are you going to see him again?
I don't know.
I mean, I just got out
of a relationship
where I spent all this time
forcing a connection
that wasn't really even there.
I'm looking for more
than a nice smile.
I want someone who's really
kind, you know, genuine.
He does have
a nice smile, though.
Hello, I'm Lara.
Oh.
I will be covering for,
um, Margot,
who's taking an early
maternity leave.
And you may be asking yourself,
what is herbal medicine?
And that is a question I have
asked myself very recently.
It is the use of plants in
the prevention and treatment
of illness, and that can include
the use of leaves, roots,
stems.
Where is she going with this?
I don't know.
I think she's reading
the Wikipedia definition.
Mostly things we have
on offer here.
Peppermint and orange is
often known as a relaxer.
You're late.
Because I'm doing all the work.
Oh.
Suite 17.
Thank you.
Let me know when you have
eyes on them.
Robert's methods are unique,
but they get results.
Wait, so you've
been here before?
Mm. I've been wanting
to come back for ages,
but our schedules
just never allowed it.
Huh.
So, uh, if you don't mind,
what was, uh, on your list?
Love.
I was on a girl's trip,
recently dumped,
nursing a broken heart.
My third day, I'm scheduled
for this excursion into Rabat
and I was paired with Peter.
So you met here?
Mhm. I was instantly smitten.
While we were there, we came
across this local brass band
and he asked me to dance
right there on the street.
I'd never met anyone like him.
So spontaneous, so full of life.
Speaking of, I should go and
track down my wayward husband.
Gosh, it's bright out.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Is that good?
Look at the color.
Yes, it's very blue.
This reminds me of that drink
we had in Bora Bora.
What was it called?
I'm not sure.
Oh, you remember.
Lara!
Lara, a minute.
Yes.
Chop, chop.
Hello.
And then you will shadow April
at our guided meditation.
What are you doing?
Is that a trash can?!
It's not what you think.
I think you're in someone
else's room
going through
someone else's trash.
I saw you take the Marks'
photo yesterday,
and now you're in their room.
I can explain everything,
but it's gonna have
to wait a minute.
Unless you're moonlighting
as a maid,
I cannot think of another
possible explanation
as to what you should be
doing in here.
I'm a private investigator.
What?
I'm a private investigator.
And I'm trying to track down
a necklace
that was stolen from the Met.
And I believe...
that one of the guests here
is going to buy it.
That's what you're going with?
Yes, that's what
we're going with.
- I need you to come with me.
- Wait.
Right this way. Right this way.
Right this way.
There you go.
That's your room, right?
You've been lying
to me this entire time.
Is your name even Jake?
Yes. Just give me your hand.
So what?
You were only talking to me
because you thought
I was some kind
of a jewel thief?
No.
I thought you were associating
with the jewel thief.
Come on. Just please.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
You're not even my type.
I'm not your type.
What does that mean?
Are you coming?
There they are.
Oh, hello.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I didn't realize
you two know each other.
We don't.
Oh, we're getting
to know each other, though.
Right. Well...
don't let me interrupt.
Okay, what does
that actually mean?
You know, you can't actually
know that.
What?
That I'm not your type.
You know, because I was, uh.
I was playing a part.
I was, uh, undercover.
Oh. So you don't actually
collect stamps?
No, actually, that part is true.
I actually collect stamps.
You have a thing
against hobbyists?
No. It's probably the most
charming thing about you.
Oh, charming.
So you do think
that I am charming.
Mm.
- Mm?
- Mm.
Look, if you could do me
a favor.
Keep this between the two of us.
Who am I gonna tell?
Thank you.
Here I go.
Lean back.
Lifting your thighs.
See if you can be
comfortable here.
Bring the feet
around the fabric.
Go back down.
Relax your shoulders and arms.
Slowly. Get up.
I'm sorry.
Lift the chest.
The market is
too unstable right now.
It's about diversifying
into assets.
I've got a plan.
Foolproof, guaranteed
monster return.
Huge wins.
You are going to be very happy.
You're looking for
the Crestvell Diamond.
It's all over the news.
It's worth millions of dollars.
Yes.
Do you think that I would
travel halfway around the world
for petty theft?
I don't know what
you do with your spare time.
Last news article I read
said that
the police investigation
had gone cold.
Why do you think it's here?
Because I'm very good at my job.
And?
Also, we got an anonymous tip.
Mm.
Wait, we?
Oh. Hey, Lara.
What do we have today?
She's a P.I. too.
Yeah.
That explains why there's
never any towels in my room.
So what?
You got a tip saying
that the person
looking to purchase
the necklace was here?
Maybe a guest,
but you don't know which guest.
Yes, we got a note and it was
signed by a mysterious name, X,
and said arrangements had been
made to purchase a necklace
and for us to be on site.
Someone has a flair for
the dramatic, right?
Right. Right. Look, Annie
don't you have a Reiki session
or a cold plunge to get to.
Not right now, actually.
Oh, wait a minute.
You think that Carolyn's husband
wants to buy it.
That's why you were
in their room?
Yes, yes.
He's been very standoffish.
Hard to get to know.
Difficult to make
any inroads with.
Look, I appreciate your
curiosity, but I don't need
anyone interfering
with my investigation.
Annie, Peter went into town to
get some euros from the bank.
I'm going to meet him.
Have you been?
They have
the cutest little shops.
No, not yet.
You should come.
You both should.
It could be a double date.
Oh, you know, I would
it's just I have a cold plunge
I have to get to.
Actually, could you give us
a minute?
Of course.
I need you to accept
the invitation.
She's playing matchmaker.
Could be a perfect opportunity
for me to get close.
You see I would,
it's just that I would never
interfere with
your investigation.
Okay. Yes, I really stepped
into that,
but I could use your... help.
Sorry, I didn't hear you.
It's so windy.
You said you needed my uh...
- Help.
- There it is.
Ah, you know what, Carolyn?
We would love to.
That's great.
Fantastic.
- Can I wear flip-flops?
- No, you can't.
Peter...
What kind of watch is that?
Uh...
expensive.
Mm.
So you two seem to be spending
a lot of time together?
Yes. It was,
um, unexpected.
- I think he's delightful.
- Mm.
- He's very personable.
- Yeah.
He just kept asking me questions
about my life and my interests.
It's so rare to find someone
who isn't constantly
talking about themselves.
Oh, that's pretty. Yeah.
Sweetheart.
He has been on that phone
non-stop since we arrived.
Oh.
So, uh, was it your idea
to come to The Monarch?
No. In fact, he suggested
this trip
completely out of the blue.
I thought for sure it was
to help us, you know...
- reconnect.
- Hm.
It's almost as though his mind
is somewhere else entirely.
If he doesn't want to spend
time together,
why did he bring us here?
She said that he's
been very distant,
is constantly on his phone,
and she didn't even know
exactly where they were going
until they were at the airport.
Don't say it.
I know, don't get involved.
I was actually going to say,
nice work.
Really?
Yeah.
Thank you.
So now we just need
to figure out
who he's been on his phone with
all this time.
You're not gonna hack his phone,
are you?
Because I'm pretty sure
that PIs are still
bound by confidentiality laws.
I am not gonna hack his phone.
Good.
Because I bet you
she is going to ask me
to take a picture.
Oh, Jake, will you please
take our picture.
Of course.
Go on.
Give him the phone.
Great, great, great.
Great, great.
Okay. Get the portrait mode.
- Ah.
- Um.
Just want to get
the stonework in the background.
- Perfect, here.
- Maybe...
You know what?
Hold on one second.
You have several flyaways.
There we go.
Thank you.
Oh, just...
- It's the humidity.
- It really is.
My hair is just
not my friend right now.
The humidity
always does this to me.
So beautiful.
Thank you, darling.
That's great.
Okay.
Great.
Okay. Big smiles.
Did you get it?
Got it.
It still seems like
an invasion of privacy.
Well, it's a gray area,
What?
It's a... it's a date.
Oh.
- Right.
- Right.
Hey.
Hi.
It's a little late
for a swim, isn't it?
It helps me clear my head.
I feel like I could use
some clarity.
Join me.
Hop in.
Okay.
So you were in
a fight with a yoga mat?
Uh, hammock, it was
a yoga hammock.
Ah.
I'll have you know.
Yoga is hard enough.
Whose idea was it
to put it up in the air?
You know what I miss?
Mm.
Pizza.
Oh, pizza.
Yeah.
So good.
Extra cheese.
So much cheese.
I don't think I've even seen
a carb since I've been here.
Thank you for today.
For your help.
You're welcome.
I do kind of feel bad
for Carolyn, though.
I don't think she has
the slightest idea
what they're really doing here.
Nah, she's a convincing
accomplice.
She knew he was going
to the bank to get money.
Do you always
assume the worst in people?
In my line of work, you learn
that people are motivated
by selfish things.
Greed, jealousy.
It's just a fact of life.
Maybe leave that off
your dating profile, huh.
Is that your way of
asking me if I'm single?
No. Just a friendly piece
of advice.
Okay.
But really though, do you
believe that people
are only motivated by their
very worst impulses?
I try not to be.
I think someday someone's
going to surprise you.
I hope so.
Oh, really?
- You want to go back in?
- No.
- Come on.
- It's so cold.
Let's go.
Ready? Here we go.
Mm.
Good.
Mm.
You know, I had to sneak it
past the front desk.
Contraband.
I really appreciate it.
I do.
So I have a question.
Mmhmm.
How did you know that Carolyn
was going to ask you
to take their photo?
Uh...
She's sentimental.
Mmhmm.
She tends to romanticize
the past, and she's on vacation,
so it was a safe bet.
You know, if she didn't ask
for a picture,
I was going to offer.
A cool party trick.
Well, it's not a party trick.
Fifteen years of
professional experience.
I am actually
very good at reading people.
Really?
Mmhmm.
Hm.
I have an idea.
Mmhmm.
Read me.
Do the thing.
Read it.
Ah.
Come on.
Uh. Okay. All right. Um...
You...
are at a crossroads.
Okay. Come on.
We're at, like,
a self-help retreat.
It's kind of a gimme.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay. Um...
You showed up
in someone else's shoes.
You definitely feel out of your
element in a place like this.
Mm.
You stick to
the scheduled activities.
You are a rule follower.
You are a planner.
Which makes me think somehow
something in your life
took you off your plan.
How am I doing so far?
Yeah, you can-
you can keep going.
You're... clever.
You're very, very clever.
And obviously
you like helping people.
You love mystery novels.
And you jumped at
the opportunity
to help me
with my investigation.
So I think that you
wanted to be... a lawyer,
probably a public defender.
How did you do that?
That's crazy.
So now you tell me...
what happened?
My mom was really sick.
I'm sorry.
No, it's-it's okay.
She's better now.
She's literally the strongest
person that I've ever met.
You know, it just
sort of happened all at once.
There was a ton of doctor bills
and appointments to be made,
and it was just a lot.
So I took a job at the local
bank, and I got comfortable,
and I just...
I guess I just kind of stayed.
Of course, I can't help
but wonder, like,
am I where I'm supposed to be?
So, yeah, I guess that's why
I wanted to come here.
I wanted to lean into it,
see if I could leave it
like a new and improved Annie.
You know what else
I see when I look at you?
Mm.
You are stronger than
you give yourself credit for.
And for the record, I like you
just the way you are.
So why did you want
to become a P.I.?
Well, I was actually on
the police force for a decade.
And last year we got this call
from this woman.
She was in the middle of
a very messy divorce,
and her husband
had stolen this crystal vase.
It was a very low priority case,
and I just decided
I wanted to work it on my own.
So I worked it off
the books, on the weekends.
Eventually, I tracked it down
to this pawn shop
where the husband, surprise,
had stolen it
and sold it just to spite her.
No.
Yes. We do not like him.
But when I was returning
the vase to this woman,
she was so happy.
She burst into tears
and she hugged me.
And I knew that that's the
feeling that I wanted to have
all the time.
So six months later, I sunk
every dollar I had
into creating my own agency.
I borrowed the rest
of the money and...
Here we are.
So what happens now?
Well,
I get the photo and I send it
to the appropriate authorities.
That's it?
Uh-huh.
What did you think
was gonna happen?
Well, I don't know.
You know, you go, you get
the jump on the thief,
you chase them down down.
Sorry to disappoint you,
but it's rarely more exciting
than a phone call.
Hm. Okay.
So after you get these photos,
you'll be just going?
Uh, yeah.
Yes.
But, uh, hopefully we can
go out and celebrate first.
Great.
Look!
Carolyn?
Wait a minute.
It doesn't make any sense.
And Peter's not even
anywhere around here.
They must be working together?
Right.
- What's she looking for?
- I don't know.
What?
Look.
Oh.
What is this?
Happy anniversary, sweetheart.
Oh.
I'm sorry I've been
so busy lately,
but I want you to know
there's nothing in my life
more important than you.
Oh, Peter.
I can't believe you've done
all of this.
Do you want to dance?
I do.
Do you like it?
I love it.
And I love you.
I love you too.
Get a picture.
Oh.
See, that is why
he was so distracted.
He was just planning her gift.
Yeah, the text was just
confirming the band.
I'm so happy for them.
Yeah.
You know what this means?
Love is real.
Well, yeah, but, um...
The buyer is still out there.
So what are you going
to do about your investigation?
Uh, look into the other guests.
Keep narrowing down the list.
I can't afford to lose this.
The truth is, owning your
own business is expensive.
Living out of my suitcase,
taking every job I can get.
Which is fine.
But it's not just me,
it's... it's Lara.
- Mm.
- She left an important career
because she believed in me
and...
I'm not sure how much longer
I can keep us afloat.
This necklace
would be a big win.
Solve a lot of problems.
All right, in that case,
I think we split up the guests
by excursion.
We'll be able
to cover more ground.
We?
I mean, I'm already invested.
You're on vacation.
I have scheduled downtime.
It's encouraged.
Okay, what about your massages
and chakra alignments?
I want to do this, okay?
For you and Lara and
the greater good. Okay?
I want to do this.
No.
No, the people behind us
were able to break into a museum
and steal a valuable artifact
that makes them dangerous.
I'd just be talking with
the guests, you know,
it's something
I'd be doing anyway.
Okay. But in a very
limited capacity
with no unnecessary risks.
No.
So now that
we're officially a team.
Team.
Are you going to tell me
how you remembered my name?
Um...
Jake?
Uh-huh.
- Rake.
- Right.
- Uh...
- Rakishly handsome.
Yeah. No.
Jake. Jake.
Uh, intrepid but thoughtful.
That doesn't rhyme.
It's still true.
It is true.
It is true.
It's true.
What do you want
to call into your life?
A Forbes Cooper 80
with a big bar area.
I'm going to work on my inner
peace and health and chakras.
I'd like to grow my audience
to attract bigger brand deals
and eventually start
my own TV series.
I would really love to find
someone that loves me
for what I am
and not for what I have.
I would like to diversify
my investment portfolio
and, uh, increase
my liquid assets.
I would like to buy a house
in the next five years.
You know, maybe something with,
like, a little garden
and maybe someday get a cat.
Thank you.
Uh, are these things
you truly want?
Or what you believe
is expected of you?
Well, I mean,
I guess kind of expected,
but I just feel like
those are really good,
safe things to want, you know?
Exactly. But this is about
taking risks.
You know, dreaming bigger
than you've ever dared.
I want you to give it another
shot. Okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
More of a dog guy.
What do you guys
want to see next?
The resort's pet iguana.
Who's that skulking
in the bushes?
Oh.
Guys, this is my friend, Annie.
Oh.
What are you doing there?
Uh...
I think I lost an earring in
here at some point last night.
In the bushes?
I fell.
- Oh, no.
- Yeah.
I'll help.
No, no. It's okay.
You don't have to.
Okay.
It could be here.
It's a big guest list.
We could use Annie's help.
Is that all it is?
You don't mix
business and personal.
That's what you told me in Reno.
Did you listen?
And I got my heart broken
for it.
The job ends, we leave.
There's no room to get attached.
Okay. We have
three days to find the buyer.
After that, everybody leaves,
along with our chances
of finding the necklace.
We could use
every set of eyes we have.
For the record,
I'm against this.
Hey, who's that guy over there
in the hat?
His name is George Evers,
but we don't know anything
beyond a name.
Lara has put me on three
of his excursions,
but he has skipped every one.
Why would he spend
so much money?
Just to read by the pool?
That is an excellent question.
Of which we don't know
the answer...
yet.
Do you two always finish
each other's sentences?
We used to be partners.
Uh. Oh, wow.
That's, uh... that's so great.
I could never work with an ex,
I don't think.
Oh, no, no, no. Partners
on the police force.
We're not...
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Okay, wow.
You don't need
to be that effusive.
Oh, look who's been using
his word a day calendar.
The point is,
we are just colleagues.
We are just friends.
I am, uh, currently
uh... single.
I'm not seeing anyone so yeah.
Jake is much too busy to date.
He'll tell you that repeatedly
when you try and set him up
with a perfectly nice woman.
Okay, if we could just
get back to Mr. Evers.
We could send him a bogus
questionnaire from the resort.
Might give us a place to start.
No. Does he seem like the kind
of guy who's going
to respond promptly to an email?
Hey, do you know what
we could do, though?
We could do that thing
we did in Kansas City.
No, no, we are not doing
that again.
- Why?
- It was ridiculous.
You don't want to wear
the garbage man outfit.
What is she doing?
I don't know exactly,
but it seems to be working.
He looks pretty happy.
Okay. She's coming back.
All right.
Let's see what she found out.
He's originally from New Haven,
but retired to Austin.
Worked 30 years for some company
called, uh,
New Pioneer Medical,
I want to say.
Pioneer Medical.
Anyway, he's got three
grandchildren,
two girls and a boy.
Would you believe the youngest
just booked the lead
in the-in the school play.
Oklahoma.
Sun is hot all the time
to reapply.
Thank you.
Go on, sweetheart.
You're doing brilliantly.
Are you not climbing?
Do I look like I climb?
And also, I don't touch rocks.
Okay.
Um, okay.
How high do you think that is?
You know, I think the trick is
to just focus on
a point above you.
Oh.
Yeah. No. Mmhmm.
Hey, didn't you say you wanted
to expand your horizons?
I know, it just just really
feels like something
that you work your way up to.
Um...
- Annie.
- Mmhmm.
You got this.
Was that the whole pep talk
because there was
only three words.
Yes, that's all you need.
- Okay.
- I believe in you.
- Great.
- I believe in you.
Oh, oh.
Oh.
Hey, how are you feeling?
It's just my boyfriend
is held up in London.
Weather, I guess.
Just anxious
for him to get here.
Right.
It's gonna be okay.
I'm sorry.
Kimberly, you're on deck next.
How's your list coming along?
Um, so, uh, how do you,
uh, find out what it is
that you really want?
It begins with honesty.
I honestly have no idea.
You're afraid to say
what you want
because it would make it real.
And if it's real,
then there is
the potential for failure.
You will never succeed
unless you can overcome
the limitations you place
on yourself.
When you allow yourself
to be controlled by fear
and uncertainty.
You will never
be able to move forward.
Is that a metaphor?
No, no, no, no, no.
This is a very real challenge
placed in your path.
Oh, right.
The question is,
can you dig deep?
And conquer it?
You can do it!
Come on Annie.
Good, good, good, good.
Come on.
You're doing great.
Come on.
Come on.
You got it.
It's okay.
Don't look down.
Don't look down,
don't look down.
Come on.
You're almost there.
Take your time.
Look up.
- Look up at Jake.
- You got this.
You got it.
You got it.
Okay.
Come on, good.
Yeah!
You're getting closer.
Good.
Good, you're almost there.
You got this.
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
Come on.
Yeah.
Good job.
I knew you had it in you.
Okay, I did it.
- Yes.
- I really did it!
- You did it.
- Thank you.
Landscape, portrait.
Okay, this is good.
Yeah, that's good.
Flex your muscles.
You want to get one
on the edge there?
Big smiles.
You're the talk of the resort.
Everybody loves a love story.
May I offer you a piece
of advice?
Of course.
This is paradise.
Not the real world.
It can put you under a spell,
deceive you.
Sweet words.
Expensive gifts.
Feel like promises are forever.
It is very easy to lose your
heart if you're not careful.
There is a moment where
I almost turned around,
but then I just kept going.
Well, maybe you found
your new calling,
tomorrow Everest.
It kind of made me think
about all of the times
that I've been afraid to,
you know, do the brave thing
when I should have just
gone for it, though.
That's good advice.
Do feel like I should get,
like, a merit badge, though,
or even like a gold star?
Um...
You cannot just take those.
Are you kidding me?
With how much it costs
to stay at this place?
I've already filled my suitcase
with those tiny little shampoos.
And if I can't achieve
spiritual enlightenment,
I'm leaving with something.
Hey... thank you.
It really meant so much to have
you up there cheering me on.
You're easy to root for.
Mr. Evers...
This treatment is designed
to realign
your chakras because your...
My chakras are fine.
Huh? Oh, Mr. Evers.
Mr. Evers.
Um...
- Goodnight.
- Yeah.
Goodnight.
Pretty flower.
Where did you get it?
You know, you and Jake remind me
a lot of Peter and me
attached at the hip
that first week.
When I first met Jake,
he was, um, different.
But now that we've spent
more time together,
it's like I get to see
all these other sides.
Like, he loves to play
the cynic,
but he also really cares
about people.
And he's funny and resourceful,
and...
I just don't think I've ever
felt quite so alive, you know?
But we're in this magical place
with sunsets and beaches and...
I'm just worried
I don't know what's real.
Don't talk yourself
out of a good thing, Annie.
I mean, I'm only here
for the week.
It can't be anything serious,
right?
I think the question you ought
to be asking is,
do you want it to be?
I think-
I think I do.
So tell him.
No, that's not
the price we agreed on.
No, no, I want it,
I want it, I do.
Um,
how long can you hold it for me?
Now?
Okay. Um, give me 15 minutes.
I'm on my way.
Opening up the feet,
lengthening through the spine.
And opening with the feet,
grabbing around the fabric.
Dropping the head down.
Relax your neck.
- Thank you so much.
- You're welcome.
Appreciate it, and you
can work with the price.
I am so grateful to you
for working with me.
I know you've had
other people bidding.
But thank you so much.
I've been waiting for
this for a really long time.
I can wire you
the money this afternoon.
Annie!
What are you doing here?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Ahoy!
So Jake and I had lunch plans,
but time just kind of got away
from me, you know.
He could have just waited
till we were back on the dock.
Uh.
We had reservations.
Um, Colin just bought this boat.
Isn't she a beaut?
I've been putting it off, but
this whole actualization thing
made me realize
you got to seize the day.
Carpe diem, my man.
I sent you an update.
I didn't get it.
Okay, well, I sent it,
and reception's bad
here over at the Marina.
So sorry.
I told you not to take
any unnecessary risks.
I told you that.
I told you that.
I know.
What if that had been
the real diamond thief?
I understand, but it all
happened very quickly.
He's talking about making
a major purchase,
and I was worried
we were gonna lose him.
You know what?
This is a huge mistake.
I never should have dragged
you into this.
You didn't drag me into it,
I volunteered.
You could have been hurt!
I wasn't.
I think you should go back
to the resort,
enjoy the rest of your retreat.
Thank you for your help.
I don't need it anymore.
Annie.
Jo?!
What are you doing here?
Oh, I wrapped up
my meetings early,
and I caught the next flight.
I wanted to spend
the last two days with you.
I'm so happy to see you.
Do you like him?
That's a yes.
Doesn't matter.
He doesn't feel the same way.
I don't know,
it just sounds like
he was scared
you could get hurt.
Which, by the way, you could
have been hurt.
Can we please talk
about something else?
Okay.
When can I meet him?
So, what was on your list?
What was on yours?
Cover of Ford's before 45.
I'm working on it.
I was kind of thinking maybe
I'd reapply to law school.
Annie, that's a great idea.
Why the hesitation?
Is it?
Or is it just kind of
going backwards
like something
the old Annie would do.
The old Annie?
Yeah. I mean, wasn't the point
of all this
to come out of it
just something more?
I didn't invite you here because
I thought you needed to change,
and you've always put
everyone before yourself,
and that's an admirable trait.
But I wanted you to take
the time to figure out
what made you happy.
Will going back to school
do that?
I don't know.
It would give me debt
until I'm 60.
If it's money, let me help you.
I can't, Jo, but
that's so kind of you.
I think if this is something
I'm going to do, it's just-
it's something
I got to do alone.
I know that things are
complicated between us, but
I don't want to leave here
with any regrets.
Woo-hoo!
At least tonight the guests are
all in one place.
It'll be easier to keep tabs
on their movement.
The party is in the gardens on
the north side of the property.
Hello?
Ah, yeah.
Keep track of their movements.
Wow. She really did
a number on you.
You know what, Annie getting
on that boat,
it was completely reckless.
What was she thinking?
Sounds like someone I know.
Yeah, well, either way,
this is our last chance.
Because tomorrow morning...
everybody...
is gone.
So let's focus on
what's important.
Okay.
Let's go.
- He's so funny.
- He is funny.
Lara.
- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.
- Cheers.
- Enjoy.
Thank you.
Nice to see you back here.
Hi.
Okay.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, these are my friends.
- This is Joanna.
- Nice to meet you.
- Carolyn.
- Good to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
This is Kimberly.
Sorry, sorry.
Got a live one here.
The week has passed too quickly,
my friends.
But my sincerest hope is that
you return to your worlds
with a new drive
and determination.
Thank you for joining us.
I hope to see many
of your faces again.
To success.
Because life's too short
to not go after what you want.
So which one is Jake?
- Uh... glasses.
- Un-huh.
Purple tie.
He's cute.
Who says he's even here?
I mean, everybody's here.
Mustache?
No.
I'll figure it out eventually.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi. Good to see you.
How are you?
- Congratulations.
- Thank you very much.
So nice to see.
It was really special.
Peter did brilliantly.
He hired a band and everything.
Oh, I think I see someone
I know somewhere else entirely.
Excuse me just a sec.
Yes. Of course.
Listen Jake I wanna say
that I'm really so...
What?
Oh, he's going somewhere
in a hurry?
Yep.
Let's go.
You look great.
Thank you.
Oh, Annie, I want you to meet
my boyfriend, Mac.
Hi. So nice to meet you,
Annie Collins.
Hi.
Thanks for keeping
my girl company.
She's the best.
Mac, is this your case?
Yeah.
He's been looking for
something just like that.
Just like this.
Do you mind if I take a look?
Well...
It's delicate contents.
I promise I'll be careful.
But of course.
I bought it for Kimberly.
It's a recording equipment
for her vlogs.
Now I have all my gear.
It's handy.
Okay. Honey, we gotta go.
I'm live streaming later.
Oh, right.
It was nice to meet you guys.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- See you later.
- Bye. Take care.
Good luck with the stream.
Thank you.
We've been through every guest.
What if the tip you got
was wrong?
- Hey.
- Hi.
I heard you made it up
the rock face on your first go.
Annie really embraced
the spirit of the week.
I hope you're going to take
some of that confidence home
with you.
I'm definitely going to try.
Uh, if you'll excuse me, ladies,
I have a meeting with Margot,
our herbal medicine specialist.
She wants to go over
some new methodology
before our next group arrives.
Of course, yeah.
It's fantastic!
Hi. I think I know who it is.
Robert!
We were so focused
on the guest list.
I know, look, he
just left the party,
said he was gonna
go talk to Margot.
Margot's away
on maternity leave.
That's why Lara
had to cover her class.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Have you seen Robert?
Okay.
Do you have the money?
I want to see
the necklace first.
It's even more spectacular
in person.
Okay.
Wire it into your account and
you'll be a very rich man.
Better come quick.
I found these two hiding in
the bushes with a camera.
We're on vacation.
He's a birder.
Yes. I got some remarkable
pictures
of the Blue Rock Thrush.
So photogenic.
Well, it's not my fault
you got in the way of
the pictures.
Robert.
Do you know that they're trying
to sell you a stolen necklace?
Yeah. I'm aware.
And you still want to buy it?
I want it.
What do you want to do
with them?
Run!
Get them!
I thought you said these
never ended in a chase.
I said rarely.
Lucky us.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Ah!
Okay.
Federal agent.
Get your hands up.
You're a cop?
I've been tracking the stolen
necklace from the Met.
So were we.
Uh...
There's been a mistake.
I was misled.
I am the victim here.
I know! I know!
You should talk to her.
What happened to not
getting involved?
This seems different.
Is it?
I mean, the job is done
and we are going home.
Go on.
You're no good to me with a
broken heart like a sad puppy.
Okay, okay, okay.
You can get those pictures
to the feds
and show them what we got?
You got it.
Thank you.
Here I go.
- I don't know what to think.
- I don't know what to say.
Hey.
- I quit.
- What?
Well...
- Excuse me.
- It is so...
May I have this dance?
Excuse me.
I wanted to apologize
for the other night.
No, there's-there's no need
to apologize, really.
I mean, for a while there,
I really did feel like
I was doing something that made
a difference.
Oh, you were.
I could not have done this
without you.
Really?
Do you, uh, want to know
the phrase I used to remember
your name?
Really? Yes, yes.
But, you know,
you don't have to tell me.
Jake is a really good guy.
It doesn't rhyme.
It's still true.
Okay.
Oh!
Jewel thief Look at this!
Oh. It looks like the word
is out
about our esteemed host.
X.
She's his ex-girlfriend.
Yeah.
So, uh,
you must be relieved
you finally found
what you were looking for.
I found... more
than what I was looking for.
What are you gonna do
with your cut?
My cut?
Of the reward money.
I mean, you definitely
get a piece of it.
You earned it.
I mean, like, what kind of money
are we talking about here?
What?
- Yes, yes.
- Are you serious, really?
Yes, I'm serious.
I mean, if you want, it could
put a pretty healthy dent
in law school tuition.
Oooh!
Sorry.
- Oh, gotcha.
- Sorry.
Are you all right?
I... y-yes.
Yes.
Here let me help you with this.
Oh, no.
You don't have to.
Oh.
It was... a long layover.
It's fine.
Of course.
- Right.
- Of course
Well, I don't usually just go
falling into people like that.
Well, I'm honored
to be the exception.
Thank-thank you.
Yeah.
Have a good day.
You too, yeah.
All right. Namaste.
Now, you have a good day.
Welcome to The Monarch.
Checking in?
Yes.
Annie Collins.
Oh. I'm sorry, I can't seem
to find your reservation.
Oh, I think it's under
a different name.
Joanna Mitchum.
Ah.
Yes. I can see
the note on the account.
Is this your first time
staying with us, Ms. Collins?
Yes.
And have you been
to any of our sister sites?
Bali. The Maldives.
No? No?
No.
Well, allow me to introduce you
to your home away from home
for the next seven days.
Right this way.
Here at Monarch Malta,
we take a holistic approach
to wellness,
A carefully curated
experience combining fitness,
nutrition and meditation
to help our guests leave
with a sense of spiritual
growth and enlightenment.
All in one week?
You'd be surprised.
Sometimes all a person
needs is a new perspective.
Here is our main pool and we
have a lower pool beachside.
Lara, can you take those towels
to the laundry?
Of course.
It's that way.
Right.
First day.
Oh.
What's up gang?
It's your girl Kim Travels
here in beautiful Malta.
Come with me as I give you
all the details
on this five-star luxury resort.
Remember to hit the like button
and subscribe.
Oh, they have a gravity pool.
That's new.
We need to try it.
Oh, I wish you'd put that away
while we're here.
We're supposed to be relaxing.
I'll just be a minute.
It's not a getaway if
you bring your life with you.
Please.
Okay.
Thank you.
What's at it now?
All right, let's go.
Buy the dip.
Whoa!
Excuse me. What?
The chlorine is too strong.
I have a delicate constitution.
I'm not sure there's anything
we can do
once it's in the water.
Oh, well...
I can already feel
my skin flushing.
Please schedule an Edelweiss
Facial, suite 25.
Okay.
Thank you.
King bed.
You may, of course, choose the
shape and fill of your pillow.
Oh, wow.
I don't think I've ever been
greeted by flowers before.
You have a large soaking tub
and shower,
and right out here
you have a spacious balcony
with a view of
the Mediterranean.
Wow.
This is your itinerary
for the week.
Sound bath?
It's a kind of therapy
that uses sonic vibrations.
Sound bath, right.
You're very fortunate
you chose this week to stay
with us.
Mr. Carlisle himself
will be leading
your one on one session.
Mr. Carlisle?
Robert Carlisle, the owner.
Right.
Yes, when he's on the island,
he likes to be
a little bit more hands on.
You'll meet him at
the welcome dinner in an hour.
One hour.
Do you have any other questions?
No. Thank you so much.
My pleasure.
Hey.
Hi. Do you have a minute?
I'm just finalizing
a recent acquisition.
I have a minute.
How's The Monarch?
The towels are scented
like lavender,
and they're folded up
into the shape of little swans.
I'm gonna leave it.
Pretty great, right?
It's amazing.
So I got picked up from the
airport by a personal valet,
and he offered me water
in a glass bottle
from some kind of an iceberg.
I wasn't even thirsty
but, girl, I drank it.
Jo, thank you so much for this.
You're welcome.
I'm gonna say it,
though. I think that...
No, Annie.
It is. It's too much.
It's too much.
No, the timing
worked out perfectly.
I'm glad you got
to take my place.
Yeah. And your luggage
with your clothes
and all of your shoes.
I mean, these things
nearly got me killed.
I do not know how
you walk in them.
You get used to 'em.
And, you know, it's nice
to reach the high shelves.
I think I'll probably stick
to flats.
You did put flats
in there, right?
I wish I could be there.
I am so excited for you.
After my stay at The Monarch,
I left with a clarity
and determination that
I'd never had before.
And I want that for you.
After all the sacrifices
you made,
you deserve to do something
just for you.
- I...
- Embrace the adventure, Annie.
It's only the beginning.
Thank you.
I started The Monarch resorts
with a single mission
to help others achieve
their fullest potential.
You give us a week, and we'll
provide you with the tools
to take the reins of your life.
It'll be a truly
transformational experience.
How do we achieve our dreams?
First, we must
dare to dream them.
The only limitation
to your success
is you.
My sincerest hope
is that you leave the resort
with a renewed sense of purpose
and hopefully a tan.
No, but please do
wear your sunscreen.
Thank you, everybody.
Enjoy.
He's really good.
I wonder if he has a podcast.
I'm Kimberly.
Annie.
So, are you here with anyone?
My boyfriend's meeting me
in a few days.
For now, I'm flying solo.
You?
It's just me.
Well, then, I'm glad we met.
We can be solo together.
Afternoon, ladies.
Oh, sorry.
Could I trouble you
for a cup of coffee?
Oh, I'm sorry,
we don't have coffee.
Maybe a very strong green tea.
Our menu doesn't contain
caffeine, sugar or alcohol.
Wow.
A full-body detox is critical
to achieve
a greater sense of joy, calm,
and emotional alignment.
Ha!
Can I offer one
of our fiber juices?
It's psyllium, cinnamon water
and sweetened with beet juice.
No, a water is good
because I love water.
Great.
I'll try it.
I'll bring one over.
Thank you.
What do you think
of aerial yoga?
It sounds high.
My channel is called
Kim Travels.
I have reviews of resorts
from all over the world.
Last month, I spent three days
in a remote cabin in the Alps.
- Oh.
- Ever been?
No. I think this is the first
vacation I've had in forever.
Well, you picked
the right place.
The Monarch is
the wellness retreat du jour.
I wanted to come for years.
His name is Jake.
Wh... I...
He's a venture capitalist
from Chicago.
I met him earlier.
Uh, who?
The guy you're staring at.
Oh, no.
See, I wasn't.
You should go say hello.
Why?
Because he's cute.
Maybe you'll hit it off.
You're in paradise.
Perfect place for romance.
I'm here to work on myself.
I'm not here looking
for romance.
Honey, who says
you can't do both?
That's a beautiful necklace.
Oh, thanks.
It's a gift.
You must be very special
to someone.
Yes, I was for a moment.
Excuse me.
Yes.
This soup is too hot.
Oh, well,
if you give it a minute.
I would like you
to bring it back
to the kitchen and cool it down.
But...
You know what?
You are right.
It could ruin the palate.
Yeah.
Ma'am, if you could take mine
as well, please.
Thank you.
Of course, sir.
Thank you.
They're so accommodating here.
Well...
Hey, do you have
200-400 in that bag?
I'm sorry.
I couldn't help but notice
with that the lens
you're shooting with
is really good for close-ups.
But if one of those pretty
birds takes off,
you're really going to want
the versatility of the 200-400.
Are you a photographer?
Oh, no, I'm not.
But my mom actually was,
but she used to let me
tag along on shoots, so I...
Well, thank you for the tip.
Of course.
Uh...
May I?
Oh, I...
Come on, come on.
A bird in motion.
Like, like a parrot.
No.
- Uh... Oh, no, no.
- It's great.
Oh, come on,
it's a great picture.
Thank you.
Beautiful.
Um...
Anyway, I'll see you later.
- Of course. Yes.
- Yeah.
Thanks again.
No problem.
- Bye.
- Good day.
I've been trying to organize
this for days now.
I need an answer.
I'm only here for a week.
I'll be waiting.
Hi. Sorry, I didn't mean
to scare you.
It's all right.
I didn't realize anyone
was out here.
So here's where you ran off to.
Just to step out for some air.
Have you seen my sunglasses?
Maybe I left them by the pool.
They're on the bedside table.
Oh.
Oh. Good evening, neighbor.
I'm Carolyn, and this
is my husband, Peter.
Hi. I'm Annie.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Pleasure.
Well, Annie, I'm sure
we'll see you around the resort.
I hope so.
Sweetheart, they have those
wonderful bath salts...
This soup could ruin the palate.
I was getting her to trust me.
And it worked, by the way.
By dessert, she had told
me everything
from her street address
to her star sign.
Mmhmm.
Virgo. In case you were
wondering.
I wasn't.
The next time you go undercover,
I get to be the wealthy guest
and you can be staff.
Oh, but I look too good
in this suit, right?
Yeah.
It's a mystery
why you're still single.
Hey, I agree with you on that.
Hey, what's her name?
Don't have her name yet.
I saw the initials
on her luggage, JM.
Joanna Mitchum.
Mm.
Mm.
Okay, so tell me
about these guests.
I've only started,
but first, your dinner pal
was Rebecca Bauer.
She's royalty, literally.
Her father's a Duke.
Wow.
Colin Scruggs, Silicon
Valley wunderkind.
A regular at
the World Series of Poker.
Kimberly Price.
She's a popular influencer.
Her mother is the founder
and CEO of a telecom company.
Peter and Carolyn Marks.
He's a real estate mogul.
Net worth in the billions
with a B.
Whoa.
Multiple houses, but their
main residence is Madrid.
And what about her?
His wife?
What does she do?
She looks pretty active in
the philanthropic spaces.
It's also their anniversary.
Ah, Crestvell Diamond necklace
sounds like
a pretty nice anniversary gift.
Definitely.
We've never started a case
with so little to work with.
I know, but Lara, honestly,
the reward money
that the museum is putting up
that could be a game-changer
for us.
Just think about it.
We could have an office
that doesn't share a wall
with a SoulCycle.
And according to this tip...
Somebody at the hotel
is the buyer.
I'm on a probationary period
where they train me
on all the stations.
I have to go.
You think you can make friends.
Yep. Of course.
I'm gonna start with the Marks
first thing in the morning.
I'll put you
on to their excursion.
Oh, and, hey, we only have
six days to figure out
who the buyer is.
I know.
Morning.
Morning.
We certainly have lucked out
with this weather.
Yeah.
Excuse me.
Okay. Good talk.
Hi.
Oh, hi.
- You were right about the lens.
- Oh.
I've got some great shots.
Oh, good.
So glad to hear it.
Yeah.
You know, I have to admit,
it has been a while
since I've ridden.
I'm sure you'll be fine.
- Like they say, it's like...
- Riding a bicycle.
Right. Why did I say that?
Yeah. No.
I, um...
If you'll just excuse me.
Yeah sure, of course.
Thanks.
Hi.
Thank you for that.
All right, everyone,
we are about to start our tour
through Manikata.
So just...
Mr. Evers, will
you be joining us today?
No?
Oh. All right.
Everyone else grab a bike.
Yes.
Any bike, any bike.
Don't be shy.
Don't be shy.
Maybe a big one for you.
All right.
Majjistral Park spans
six kilometers
of protected coastland and is
home to one of the largest...
Should I just get an Uber back?
No, definitely not.
I just got to get the slip
chain back
on the spiky wheel thing
and, uh, pick it up.
Okay.
And yep.
Nice.
Good as new.
Wow.
- I'm impressed.
- Nice.
You're a mechanic.
Oh, hardly.
Probably could have got
someone to do that for you.
It's an easy fix.
Thanks, Annie.
Of course.
Annie?
Yeah.
Oh, silly me.
We never officially met,
Annie Collins.
Jake Daltry.
Here... you...
Yeah.
Is, uh, Annie a nickname?
Actually, yes. I'm named
for my grandmother.
She's Annabelle.
Oh. It's just that
on your luggage,
there was a monogram JM.
You're very observant.
Well, they were large letters.
Well, you got me.
The luggage is actually
my friend Joanna's,
as was the reservation
and the remarkably high heels.
Okay, that's as good as it gets.
Thank you.
Of course.
Hm.
Remarkable.
It really is.
Anyway, good luck.
Jim. Jim, who likes to swim?
Swim Jim.
What's that?
Oh, that's nothing really.
It's just a silly thing I do
to try and remember
people's names.
I say their name and then
associate something with that,
maybe that they like to do or
how I met them, for example.
Jim is going to be competing
in an Ironman triathlon.
So, uh. yeah.
You do that for everyone?
Yeah.
What did you associate with me?
Well, uh, I don't think I did.
You just seemed like Jake.
So, you know everybody
in the group?
Yes.
Who's that?
Oh, that.
That is Carolyn.
Yeah, we actually met
last night.
We're sweet neighbors.
She couldn't find her pair
of sunglasses.
Pair, care.
O-lin.
It's not an inexact science
for now, but, yeah, she's, uh,
she's married to Peter.
Okay. Um, earlier I tried to
have a conversation with him,
and it petered out.
Just like that.
Well, now I will remember.
Annie.
And.
No. You just-
you seem like an Annie.
Her social media
accounts are all private.
She doesn't have much
of a digital footprint.
Intentionally low profile?
No, there's something about her
that doesn't quite add up.
She's-she's too nice.
Being nice is now suspicious.
Yeah.
Joanna Mitchum, on the other
hand, was very easy to find.
She's the founder and CEO
of JBM.
Should I know what that is?
Cosmetic company.
They make an excellent
lip plumper.
Lip plumper?
Mhm.
I'll take your word for it.
She has very deep pockets.
She just won a Kandinsky
in a bidding war.
So you think Annie's doing
her dirty work?
Do you want me
to get us a key to her room?
No. Not yet.
We have to play this right.
We could be dealing with a
very sophisticated criminal.
Press with your hands down
and sit inside the hammock.
Grab a hold of the fabric
and pull yourself up
to stretch the legs out
to the front.
Turn and start
lifting up your legs.
Start leaning back.
Grab the fabric
with your both hands.
Open the feet and the thighs.
Start leaning back.
Bring the feet
around the fabric.
Stay for a few moments
with the head down.
Relax your head and neck.
Shoulders.
Soften your chest.
Do you need help?
I think I do.
Why does everything
healthy taste so sad?
I kind of like it.
What do you think psyllium is?
I think it's a seed.
Are you okay?
Yeah. It's fine.
Ladies.
Annie, I was wondering if
you'd have lunch with me.
Oh, um...
She'd love that.
Great.
So I worked at a hedge fund
in the San Francisco area.
That's very impressive.
Do you like it?
Yes. It affords me
a certain lifestyle.
I get to travel to
beautiful places
and meet interesting people.
I'm sure you can relate.
It looks like you have a taste
for the finer things as well.
I do?
Mhm. Couldn't help but notice
that watch
is worth at least six figures.
This? Are you sure?
Wow.
Is that your friends as well?
Um, yes.
Yeah.
She booked this trip and she
had a work obligation come up,
so just kind of here
in her place.
She sounds like a good friend.
She came to this resort
two years ago.
She says it's life-changing.
Are you looking to change
your life?
Mm.
No, I'm just here
for the micro-greens.
Right. Yeah, micro-greens.
They are very...
soothing.
So soothing.
So tell me,
what do you do for work?
Oh, well...
I am also in finance.
But tell me, why do you think
it is that we're so quick
to define ourselves by our jobs?
You know, it's as if
that's the most interesting
or important thing about us.
So how else should
we define each other?
Maybe by like, a fun
or interesting fact.
Go ahead.
Uh, a fun or...
I collect stamps.
That is fun.
It's a hobby I picked up
from my grandfather.
And because I travel a lot
for work,
it's something
I can easily keep up with.
Your grandfather?
Yeah.
That's really nice.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm so sorry.
I have to get
to my next session.
Of course, don't want
to keep you.
No pressure.
Thank you.
I gotcha.
Here we go.
You push, I'll pull.
There we go.
All right.
There we go.
Good to see you.
Just allow
the vibrations to wash over you.
Shh.
Oh, uh...
I didn't say anything.
I can hear you thinking.
It's very aggressive.
Sorry.
Let me ask you a question.
Yeah.
When you're walking
on the sidewalk
and strangers coming in
the opposite direction.
Do you step aside?
- Yes.
- Huh?
Is that bad?
To truly achieve the things
that we want-
Uh-huh.
We must prioritize ourselves.
When you step aside
for someone else,
you're stepping off
of your own path.
I just kind of thought it
was the polite thing to do.
Take this notepad, and I want
you to write a list
of all the things you wish
to accomplish in life.
This is a chance for you
to leave the old Annie behind
and be whoever it is
you've always wanted to be.
It says she's just a bank teller
from Bemidji, Minnesota.
Maybe this is a decoy account.
Maybe she really is
just here on vacation.
Mhm.
Uh, if you could send
a few extra pillows
to my room, please.
What? Get your own pillow.
Uh, excuse me.
Lara, a word, please.
When a guest makes a request,
we do our very best
to accommodate.
Of course. I will
remember that.
I'm going to need you to cover
the herbal medicine
session tomorrow.
Margot is unavailable.
Herbal medicine?
Is that a problem?
Your resume says you have
an extensive background
in aromatherapy and tincture.
Right. It was
my minor in college.
Not my...
Class starts at 10:00.
Thanks!
Sorry.
I mean, he's charming,
but we live in completely
different worlds.
Are you going to see him again?
I don't know.
I mean, I just got out
of a relationship
where I spent all this time
forcing a connection
that wasn't really even there.
I'm looking for more
than a nice smile.
I want someone who's really
kind, you know, genuine.
He does have
a nice smile, though.
Hello, I'm Lara.
Oh.
I will be covering for,
um, Margot,
who's taking an early
maternity leave.
And you may be asking yourself,
what is herbal medicine?
And that is a question I have
asked myself very recently.
It is the use of plants in
the prevention and treatment
of illness, and that can include
the use of leaves, roots,
stems.
Where is she going with this?
I don't know.
I think she's reading
the Wikipedia definition.
Mostly things we have
on offer here.
Peppermint and orange is
often known as a relaxer.
You're late.
Because I'm doing all the work.
Oh.
Suite 17.
Thank you.
Let me know when you have
eyes on them.
Robert's methods are unique,
but they get results.
Wait, so you've
been here before?
Mm. I've been wanting
to come back for ages,
but our schedules
just never allowed it.
Huh.
So, uh, if you don't mind,
what was, uh, on your list?
Love.
I was on a girl's trip,
recently dumped,
nursing a broken heart.
My third day, I'm scheduled
for this excursion into Rabat
and I was paired with Peter.
So you met here?
Mhm. I was instantly smitten.
While we were there, we came
across this local brass band
and he asked me to dance
right there on the street.
I'd never met anyone like him.
So spontaneous, so full of life.
Speaking of, I should go and
track down my wayward husband.
Gosh, it's bright out.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Is that good?
Look at the color.
Yes, it's very blue.
This reminds me of that drink
we had in Bora Bora.
What was it called?
I'm not sure.
Oh, you remember.
Lara!
Lara, a minute.
Yes.
Chop, chop.
Hello.
And then you will shadow April
at our guided meditation.
What are you doing?
Is that a trash can?!
It's not what you think.
I think you're in someone
else's room
going through
someone else's trash.
I saw you take the Marks'
photo yesterday,
and now you're in their room.
I can explain everything,
but it's gonna have
to wait a minute.
Unless you're moonlighting
as a maid,
I cannot think of another
possible explanation
as to what you should be
doing in here.
I'm a private investigator.
What?
I'm a private investigator.
And I'm trying to track down
a necklace
that was stolen from the Met.
And I believe...
that one of the guests here
is going to buy it.
That's what you're going with?
Yes, that's what
we're going with.
- I need you to come with me.
- Wait.
Right this way. Right this way.
Right this way.
There you go.
That's your room, right?
You've been lying
to me this entire time.
Is your name even Jake?
Yes. Just give me your hand.
So what?
You were only talking to me
because you thought
I was some kind
of a jewel thief?
No.
I thought you were associating
with the jewel thief.
Come on. Just please.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
You're not even my type.
I'm not your type.
What does that mean?
Are you coming?
There they are.
Oh, hello.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I didn't realize
you two know each other.
We don't.
Oh, we're getting
to know each other, though.
Right. Well...
don't let me interrupt.
Okay, what does
that actually mean?
You know, you can't actually
know that.
What?
That I'm not your type.
You know, because I was, uh.
I was playing a part.
I was, uh, undercover.
Oh. So you don't actually
collect stamps?
No, actually, that part is true.
I actually collect stamps.
You have a thing
against hobbyists?
No. It's probably the most
charming thing about you.
Oh, charming.
So you do think
that I am charming.
Mm.
- Mm?
- Mm.
Look, if you could do me
a favor.
Keep this between the two of us.
Who am I gonna tell?
Thank you.
Here I go.
Lean back.
Lifting your thighs.
See if you can be
comfortable here.
Bring the feet
around the fabric.
Go back down.
Relax your shoulders and arms.
Slowly. Get up.
I'm sorry.
Lift the chest.
The market is
too unstable right now.
It's about diversifying
into assets.
I've got a plan.
Foolproof, guaranteed
monster return.
Huge wins.
You are going to be very happy.
You're looking for
the Crestvell Diamond.
It's all over the news.
It's worth millions of dollars.
Yes.
Do you think that I would
travel halfway around the world
for petty theft?
I don't know what
you do with your spare time.
Last news article I read
said that
the police investigation
had gone cold.
Why do you think it's here?
Because I'm very good at my job.
And?
Also, we got an anonymous tip.
Mm.
Wait, we?
Oh. Hey, Lara.
What do we have today?
She's a P.I. too.
Yeah.
That explains why there's
never any towels in my room.
So what?
You got a tip saying
that the person
looking to purchase
the necklace was here?
Maybe a guest,
but you don't know which guest.
Yes, we got a note and it was
signed by a mysterious name, X,
and said arrangements had been
made to purchase a necklace
and for us to be on site.
Someone has a flair for
the dramatic, right?
Right. Right. Look, Annie
don't you have a Reiki session
or a cold plunge to get to.
Not right now, actually.
Oh, wait a minute.
You think that Carolyn's husband
wants to buy it.
That's why you were
in their room?
Yes, yes.
He's been very standoffish.
Hard to get to know.
Difficult to make
any inroads with.
Look, I appreciate your
curiosity, but I don't need
anyone interfering
with my investigation.
Annie, Peter went into town to
get some euros from the bank.
I'm going to meet him.
Have you been?
They have
the cutest little shops.
No, not yet.
You should come.
You both should.
It could be a double date.
Oh, you know, I would
it's just I have a cold plunge
I have to get to.
Actually, could you give us
a minute?
Of course.
I need you to accept
the invitation.
She's playing matchmaker.
Could be a perfect opportunity
for me to get close.
You see I would,
it's just that I would never
interfere with
your investigation.
Okay. Yes, I really stepped
into that,
but I could use your... help.
Sorry, I didn't hear you.
It's so windy.
You said you needed my uh...
- Help.
- There it is.
Ah, you know what, Carolyn?
We would love to.
That's great.
Fantastic.
- Can I wear flip-flops?
- No, you can't.
Peter...
What kind of watch is that?
Uh...
expensive.
Mm.
So you two seem to be spending
a lot of time together?
Yes. It was,
um, unexpected.
- I think he's delightful.
- Mm.
- He's very personable.
- Yeah.
He just kept asking me questions
about my life and my interests.
It's so rare to find someone
who isn't constantly
talking about themselves.
Oh, that's pretty. Yeah.
Sweetheart.
He has been on that phone
non-stop since we arrived.
Oh.
So, uh, was it your idea
to come to The Monarch?
No. In fact, he suggested
this trip
completely out of the blue.
I thought for sure it was
to help us, you know...
- reconnect.
- Hm.
It's almost as though his mind
is somewhere else entirely.
If he doesn't want to spend
time together,
why did he bring us here?
She said that he's
been very distant,
is constantly on his phone,
and she didn't even know
exactly where they were going
until they were at the airport.
Don't say it.
I know, don't get involved.
I was actually going to say,
nice work.
Really?
Yeah.
Thank you.
So now we just need
to figure out
who he's been on his phone with
all this time.
You're not gonna hack his phone,
are you?
Because I'm pretty sure
that PIs are still
bound by confidentiality laws.
I am not gonna hack his phone.
Good.
Because I bet you
she is going to ask me
to take a picture.
Oh, Jake, will you please
take our picture.
Of course.
Go on.
Give him the phone.
Great, great, great.
Great, great.
Okay. Get the portrait mode.
- Ah.
- Um.
Just want to get
the stonework in the background.
- Perfect, here.
- Maybe...
You know what?
Hold on one second.
You have several flyaways.
There we go.
Thank you.
Oh, just...
- It's the humidity.
- It really is.
My hair is just
not my friend right now.
The humidity
always does this to me.
So beautiful.
Thank you, darling.
That's great.
Okay.
Great.
Okay. Big smiles.
Did you get it?
Got it.
It still seems like
an invasion of privacy.
Well, it's a gray area,
What?
It's a... it's a date.
Oh.
- Right.
- Right.
Hey.
Hi.
It's a little late
for a swim, isn't it?
It helps me clear my head.
I feel like I could use
some clarity.
Join me.
Hop in.
Okay.
So you were in
a fight with a yoga mat?
Uh, hammock, it was
a yoga hammock.
Ah.
I'll have you know.
Yoga is hard enough.
Whose idea was it
to put it up in the air?
You know what I miss?
Mm.
Pizza.
Oh, pizza.
Yeah.
So good.
Extra cheese.
So much cheese.
I don't think I've even seen
a carb since I've been here.
Thank you for today.
For your help.
You're welcome.
I do kind of feel bad
for Carolyn, though.
I don't think she has
the slightest idea
what they're really doing here.
Nah, she's a convincing
accomplice.
She knew he was going
to the bank to get money.
Do you always
assume the worst in people?
In my line of work, you learn
that people are motivated
by selfish things.
Greed, jealousy.
It's just a fact of life.
Maybe leave that off
your dating profile, huh.
Is that your way of
asking me if I'm single?
No. Just a friendly piece
of advice.
Okay.
But really though, do you
believe that people
are only motivated by their
very worst impulses?
I try not to be.
I think someday someone's
going to surprise you.
I hope so.
Oh, really?
- You want to go back in?
- No.
- Come on.
- It's so cold.
Let's go.
Ready? Here we go.
Mm.
Good.
Mm.
You know, I had to sneak it
past the front desk.
Contraband.
I really appreciate it.
I do.
So I have a question.
Mmhmm.
How did you know that Carolyn
was going to ask you
to take their photo?
Uh...
She's sentimental.
Mmhmm.
She tends to romanticize
the past, and she's on vacation,
so it was a safe bet.
You know, if she didn't ask
for a picture,
I was going to offer.
A cool party trick.
Well, it's not a party trick.
Fifteen years of
professional experience.
I am actually
very good at reading people.
Really?
Mmhmm.
Hm.
I have an idea.
Mmhmm.
Read me.
Do the thing.
Read it.
Ah.
Come on.
Uh. Okay. All right. Um...
You...
are at a crossroads.
Okay. Come on.
We're at, like,
a self-help retreat.
It's kind of a gimme.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay. Um...
You showed up
in someone else's shoes.
You definitely feel out of your
element in a place like this.
Mm.
You stick to
the scheduled activities.
You are a rule follower.
You are a planner.
Which makes me think somehow
something in your life
took you off your plan.
How am I doing so far?
Yeah, you can-
you can keep going.
You're... clever.
You're very, very clever.
And obviously
you like helping people.
You love mystery novels.
And you jumped at
the opportunity
to help me
with my investigation.
So I think that you
wanted to be... a lawyer,
probably a public defender.
How did you do that?
That's crazy.
So now you tell me...
what happened?
My mom was really sick.
I'm sorry.
No, it's-it's okay.
She's better now.
She's literally the strongest
person that I've ever met.
You know, it just
sort of happened all at once.
There was a ton of doctor bills
and appointments to be made,
and it was just a lot.
So I took a job at the local
bank, and I got comfortable,
and I just...
I guess I just kind of stayed.
Of course, I can't help
but wonder, like,
am I where I'm supposed to be?
So, yeah, I guess that's why
I wanted to come here.
I wanted to lean into it,
see if I could leave it
like a new and improved Annie.
You know what else
I see when I look at you?
Mm.
You are stronger than
you give yourself credit for.
And for the record, I like you
just the way you are.
So why did you want
to become a P.I.?
Well, I was actually on
the police force for a decade.
And last year we got this call
from this woman.
She was in the middle of
a very messy divorce,
and her husband
had stolen this crystal vase.
It was a very low priority case,
and I just decided
I wanted to work it on my own.
So I worked it off
the books, on the weekends.
Eventually, I tracked it down
to this pawn shop
where the husband, surprise,
had stolen it
and sold it just to spite her.
No.
Yes. We do not like him.
But when I was returning
the vase to this woman,
she was so happy.
She burst into tears
and she hugged me.
And I knew that that's the
feeling that I wanted to have
all the time.
So six months later, I sunk
every dollar I had
into creating my own agency.
I borrowed the rest
of the money and...
Here we are.
So what happens now?
Well,
I get the photo and I send it
to the appropriate authorities.
That's it?
Uh-huh.
What did you think
was gonna happen?
Well, I don't know.
You know, you go, you get
the jump on the thief,
you chase them down down.
Sorry to disappoint you,
but it's rarely more exciting
than a phone call.
Hm. Okay.
So after you get these photos,
you'll be just going?
Uh, yeah.
Yes.
But, uh, hopefully we can
go out and celebrate first.
Great.
Look!
Carolyn?
Wait a minute.
It doesn't make any sense.
And Peter's not even
anywhere around here.
They must be working together?
Right.
- What's she looking for?
- I don't know.
What?
Look.
Oh.
What is this?
Happy anniversary, sweetheart.
Oh.
I'm sorry I've been
so busy lately,
but I want you to know
there's nothing in my life
more important than you.
Oh, Peter.
I can't believe you've done
all of this.
Do you want to dance?
I do.
Do you like it?
I love it.
And I love you.
I love you too.
Get a picture.
Oh.
See, that is why
he was so distracted.
He was just planning her gift.
Yeah, the text was just
confirming the band.
I'm so happy for them.
Yeah.
You know what this means?
Love is real.
Well, yeah, but, um...
The buyer is still out there.
So what are you going
to do about your investigation?
Uh, look into the other guests.
Keep narrowing down the list.
I can't afford to lose this.
The truth is, owning your
own business is expensive.
Living out of my suitcase,
taking every job I can get.
Which is fine.
But it's not just me,
it's... it's Lara.
- Mm.
- She left an important career
because she believed in me
and...
I'm not sure how much longer
I can keep us afloat.
This necklace
would be a big win.
Solve a lot of problems.
All right, in that case,
I think we split up the guests
by excursion.
We'll be able
to cover more ground.
We?
I mean, I'm already invested.
You're on vacation.
I have scheduled downtime.
It's encouraged.
Okay, what about your massages
and chakra alignments?
I want to do this, okay?
For you and Lara and
the greater good. Okay?
I want to do this.
No.
No, the people behind us
were able to break into a museum
and steal a valuable artifact
that makes them dangerous.
I'd just be talking with
the guests, you know,
it's something
I'd be doing anyway.
Okay. But in a very
limited capacity
with no unnecessary risks.
No.
So now that
we're officially a team.
Team.
Are you going to tell me
how you remembered my name?
Um...
Jake?
Uh-huh.
- Rake.
- Right.
- Uh...
- Rakishly handsome.
Yeah. No.
Jake. Jake.
Uh, intrepid but thoughtful.
That doesn't rhyme.
It's still true.
It is true.
It is true.
It's true.
What do you want
to call into your life?
A Forbes Cooper 80
with a big bar area.
I'm going to work on my inner
peace and health and chakras.
I'd like to grow my audience
to attract bigger brand deals
and eventually start
my own TV series.
I would really love to find
someone that loves me
for what I am
and not for what I have.
I would like to diversify
my investment portfolio
and, uh, increase
my liquid assets.
I would like to buy a house
in the next five years.
You know, maybe something with,
like, a little garden
and maybe someday get a cat.
Thank you.
Uh, are these things
you truly want?
Or what you believe
is expected of you?
Well, I mean,
I guess kind of expected,
but I just feel like
those are really good,
safe things to want, you know?
Exactly. But this is about
taking risks.
You know, dreaming bigger
than you've ever dared.
I want you to give it another
shot. Okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
More of a dog guy.
What do you guys
want to see next?
The resort's pet iguana.
Who's that skulking
in the bushes?
Oh.
Guys, this is my friend, Annie.
Oh.
What are you doing there?
Uh...
I think I lost an earring in
here at some point last night.
In the bushes?
I fell.
- Oh, no.
- Yeah.
I'll help.
No, no. It's okay.
You don't have to.
Okay.
It could be here.
It's a big guest list.
We could use Annie's help.
Is that all it is?
You don't mix
business and personal.
That's what you told me in Reno.
Did you listen?
And I got my heart broken
for it.
The job ends, we leave.
There's no room to get attached.
Okay. We have
three days to find the buyer.
After that, everybody leaves,
along with our chances
of finding the necklace.
We could use
every set of eyes we have.
For the record,
I'm against this.
Hey, who's that guy over there
in the hat?
His name is George Evers,
but we don't know anything
beyond a name.
Lara has put me on three
of his excursions,
but he has skipped every one.
Why would he spend
so much money?
Just to read by the pool?
That is an excellent question.
Of which we don't know
the answer...
yet.
Do you two always finish
each other's sentences?
We used to be partners.
Uh. Oh, wow.
That's, uh... that's so great.
I could never work with an ex,
I don't think.
Oh, no, no, no. Partners
on the police force.
We're not...
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Okay, wow.
You don't need
to be that effusive.
Oh, look who's been using
his word a day calendar.
The point is,
we are just colleagues.
We are just friends.
I am, uh, currently
uh... single.
I'm not seeing anyone so yeah.
Jake is much too busy to date.
He'll tell you that repeatedly
when you try and set him up
with a perfectly nice woman.
Okay, if we could just
get back to Mr. Evers.
We could send him a bogus
questionnaire from the resort.
Might give us a place to start.
No. Does he seem like the kind
of guy who's going
to respond promptly to an email?
Hey, do you know what
we could do, though?
We could do that thing
we did in Kansas City.
No, no, we are not doing
that again.
- Why?
- It was ridiculous.
You don't want to wear
the garbage man outfit.
What is she doing?
I don't know exactly,
but it seems to be working.
He looks pretty happy.
Okay. She's coming back.
All right.
Let's see what she found out.
He's originally from New Haven,
but retired to Austin.
Worked 30 years for some company
called, uh,
New Pioneer Medical,
I want to say.
Pioneer Medical.
Anyway, he's got three
grandchildren,
two girls and a boy.
Would you believe the youngest
just booked the lead
in the-in the school play.
Oklahoma.
Sun is hot all the time
to reapply.
Thank you.
Go on, sweetheart.
You're doing brilliantly.
Are you not climbing?
Do I look like I climb?
And also, I don't touch rocks.
Okay.
Um, okay.
How high do you think that is?
You know, I think the trick is
to just focus on
a point above you.
Oh.
Yeah. No. Mmhmm.
Hey, didn't you say you wanted
to expand your horizons?
I know, it just just really
feels like something
that you work your way up to.
Um...
- Annie.
- Mmhmm.
You got this.
Was that the whole pep talk
because there was
only three words.
Yes, that's all you need.
- Okay.
- I believe in you.
- Great.
- I believe in you.
Oh, oh.
Oh.
Hey, how are you feeling?
It's just my boyfriend
is held up in London.
Weather, I guess.
Just anxious
for him to get here.
Right.
It's gonna be okay.
I'm sorry.
Kimberly, you're on deck next.
How's your list coming along?
Um, so, uh, how do you,
uh, find out what it is
that you really want?
It begins with honesty.
I honestly have no idea.
You're afraid to say
what you want
because it would make it real.
And if it's real,
then there is
the potential for failure.
You will never succeed
unless you can overcome
the limitations you place
on yourself.
When you allow yourself
to be controlled by fear
and uncertainty.
You will never
be able to move forward.
Is that a metaphor?
No, no, no, no, no.
This is a very real challenge
placed in your path.
Oh, right.
The question is,
can you dig deep?
And conquer it?
You can do it!
Come on Annie.
Good, good, good, good.
Come on.
You're doing great.
Come on.
Come on.
You got it.
It's okay.
Don't look down.
Don't look down,
don't look down.
Come on.
You're almost there.
Take your time.
Look up.
- Look up at Jake.
- You got this.
You got it.
You got it.
Okay.
Come on, good.
Yeah!
You're getting closer.
Good.
Good, you're almost there.
You got this.
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
Come on.
Yeah.
Good job.
I knew you had it in you.
Okay, I did it.
- Yes.
- I really did it!
- You did it.
- Thank you.
Landscape, portrait.
Okay, this is good.
Yeah, that's good.
Flex your muscles.
You want to get one
on the edge there?
Big smiles.
You're the talk of the resort.
Everybody loves a love story.
May I offer you a piece
of advice?
Of course.
This is paradise.
Not the real world.
It can put you under a spell,
deceive you.
Sweet words.
Expensive gifts.
Feel like promises are forever.
It is very easy to lose your
heart if you're not careful.
There is a moment where
I almost turned around,
but then I just kept going.
Well, maybe you found
your new calling,
tomorrow Everest.
It kind of made me think
about all of the times
that I've been afraid to,
you know, do the brave thing
when I should have just
gone for it, though.
That's good advice.
Do feel like I should get,
like, a merit badge, though,
or even like a gold star?
Um...
You cannot just take those.
Are you kidding me?
With how much it costs
to stay at this place?
I've already filled my suitcase
with those tiny little shampoos.
And if I can't achieve
spiritual enlightenment,
I'm leaving with something.
Hey... thank you.
It really meant so much to have
you up there cheering me on.
You're easy to root for.
Mr. Evers...
This treatment is designed
to realign
your chakras because your...
My chakras are fine.
Huh? Oh, Mr. Evers.
Mr. Evers.
Um...
- Goodnight.
- Yeah.
Goodnight.
Pretty flower.
Where did you get it?
You know, you and Jake remind me
a lot of Peter and me
attached at the hip
that first week.
When I first met Jake,
he was, um, different.
But now that we've spent
more time together,
it's like I get to see
all these other sides.
Like, he loves to play
the cynic,
but he also really cares
about people.
And he's funny and resourceful,
and...
I just don't think I've ever
felt quite so alive, you know?
But we're in this magical place
with sunsets and beaches and...
I'm just worried
I don't know what's real.
Don't talk yourself
out of a good thing, Annie.
I mean, I'm only here
for the week.
It can't be anything serious,
right?
I think the question you ought
to be asking is,
do you want it to be?
I think-
I think I do.
So tell him.
No, that's not
the price we agreed on.
No, no, I want it,
I want it, I do.
Um,
how long can you hold it for me?
Now?
Okay. Um, give me 15 minutes.
I'm on my way.
Opening up the feet,
lengthening through the spine.
And opening with the feet,
grabbing around the fabric.
Dropping the head down.
Relax your neck.
- Thank you so much.
- You're welcome.
Appreciate it, and you
can work with the price.
I am so grateful to you
for working with me.
I know you've had
other people bidding.
But thank you so much.
I've been waiting for
this for a really long time.
I can wire you
the money this afternoon.
Annie!
What are you doing here?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Ahoy!
So Jake and I had lunch plans,
but time just kind of got away
from me, you know.
He could have just waited
till we were back on the dock.
Uh.
We had reservations.
Um, Colin just bought this boat.
Isn't she a beaut?
I've been putting it off, but
this whole actualization thing
made me realize
you got to seize the day.
Carpe diem, my man.
I sent you an update.
I didn't get it.
Okay, well, I sent it,
and reception's bad
here over at the Marina.
So sorry.
I told you not to take
any unnecessary risks.
I told you that.
I told you that.
I know.
What if that had been
the real diamond thief?
I understand, but it all
happened very quickly.
He's talking about making
a major purchase,
and I was worried
we were gonna lose him.
You know what?
This is a huge mistake.
I never should have dragged
you into this.
You didn't drag me into it,
I volunteered.
You could have been hurt!
I wasn't.
I think you should go back
to the resort,
enjoy the rest of your retreat.
Thank you for your help.
I don't need it anymore.
Annie.
Jo?!
What are you doing here?
Oh, I wrapped up
my meetings early,
and I caught the next flight.
I wanted to spend
the last two days with you.
I'm so happy to see you.
Do you like him?
That's a yes.
Doesn't matter.
He doesn't feel the same way.
I don't know,
it just sounds like
he was scared
you could get hurt.
Which, by the way, you could
have been hurt.
Can we please talk
about something else?
Okay.
When can I meet him?
So, what was on your list?
What was on yours?
Cover of Ford's before 45.
I'm working on it.
I was kind of thinking maybe
I'd reapply to law school.
Annie, that's a great idea.
Why the hesitation?
Is it?
Or is it just kind of
going backwards
like something
the old Annie would do.
The old Annie?
Yeah. I mean, wasn't the point
of all this
to come out of it
just something more?
I didn't invite you here because
I thought you needed to change,
and you've always put
everyone before yourself,
and that's an admirable trait.
But I wanted you to take
the time to figure out
what made you happy.
Will going back to school
do that?
I don't know.
It would give me debt
until I'm 60.
If it's money, let me help you.
I can't, Jo, but
that's so kind of you.
I think if this is something
I'm going to do, it's just-
it's something
I got to do alone.
I know that things are
complicated between us, but
I don't want to leave here
with any regrets.
Woo-hoo!
At least tonight the guests are
all in one place.
It'll be easier to keep tabs
on their movement.
The party is in the gardens on
the north side of the property.
Hello?
Ah, yeah.
Keep track of their movements.
Wow. She really did
a number on you.
You know what, Annie getting
on that boat,
it was completely reckless.
What was she thinking?
Sounds like someone I know.
Yeah, well, either way,
this is our last chance.
Because tomorrow morning...
everybody...
is gone.
So let's focus on
what's important.
Okay.
Let's go.
- He's so funny.
- He is funny.
Lara.
- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.
- Cheers.
- Enjoy.
Thank you.
Nice to see you back here.
Hi.
Okay.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, these are my friends.
- This is Joanna.
- Nice to meet you.
- Carolyn.
- Good to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
This is Kimberly.
Sorry, sorry.
Got a live one here.
The week has passed too quickly,
my friends.
But my sincerest hope is that
you return to your worlds
with a new drive
and determination.
Thank you for joining us.
I hope to see many
of your faces again.
To success.
Because life's too short
to not go after what you want.
So which one is Jake?
- Uh... glasses.
- Un-huh.
Purple tie.
He's cute.
Who says he's even here?
I mean, everybody's here.
Mustache?
No.
I'll figure it out eventually.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi. Good to see you.
How are you?
- Congratulations.
- Thank you very much.
So nice to see.
It was really special.
Peter did brilliantly.
He hired a band and everything.
Oh, I think I see someone
I know somewhere else entirely.
Excuse me just a sec.
Yes. Of course.
Listen Jake I wanna say
that I'm really so...
What?
Oh, he's going somewhere
in a hurry?
Yep.
Let's go.
You look great.
Thank you.
Oh, Annie, I want you to meet
my boyfriend, Mac.
Hi. So nice to meet you,
Annie Collins.
Hi.
Thanks for keeping
my girl company.
She's the best.
Mac, is this your case?
Yeah.
He's been looking for
something just like that.
Just like this.
Do you mind if I take a look?
Well...
It's delicate contents.
I promise I'll be careful.
But of course.
I bought it for Kimberly.
It's a recording equipment
for her vlogs.
Now I have all my gear.
It's handy.
Okay. Honey, we gotta go.
I'm live streaming later.
Oh, right.
It was nice to meet you guys.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- See you later.
- Bye. Take care.
Good luck with the stream.
Thank you.
We've been through every guest.
What if the tip you got
was wrong?
- Hey.
- Hi.
I heard you made it up
the rock face on your first go.
Annie really embraced
the spirit of the week.
I hope you're going to take
some of that confidence home
with you.
I'm definitely going to try.
Uh, if you'll excuse me, ladies,
I have a meeting with Margot,
our herbal medicine specialist.
She wants to go over
some new methodology
before our next group arrives.
Of course, yeah.
It's fantastic!
Hi. I think I know who it is.
Robert!
We were so focused
on the guest list.
I know, look, he
just left the party,
said he was gonna
go talk to Margot.
Margot's away
on maternity leave.
That's why Lara
had to cover her class.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Have you seen Robert?
Okay.
Do you have the money?
I want to see
the necklace first.
It's even more spectacular
in person.
Okay.
Wire it into your account and
you'll be a very rich man.
Better come quick.
I found these two hiding in
the bushes with a camera.
We're on vacation.
He's a birder.
Yes. I got some remarkable
pictures
of the Blue Rock Thrush.
So photogenic.
Well, it's not my fault
you got in the way of
the pictures.
Robert.
Do you know that they're trying
to sell you a stolen necklace?
Yeah. I'm aware.
And you still want to buy it?
I want it.
What do you want to do
with them?
Run!
Get them!
I thought you said these
never ended in a chase.
I said rarely.
Lucky us.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Ah!
Okay.
Federal agent.
Get your hands up.
You're a cop?
I've been tracking the stolen
necklace from the Met.
So were we.
Uh...
There's been a mistake.
I was misled.
I am the victim here.
I know! I know!
You should talk to her.
What happened to not
getting involved?
This seems different.
Is it?
I mean, the job is done
and we are going home.
Go on.
You're no good to me with a
broken heart like a sad puppy.
Okay, okay, okay.
You can get those pictures
to the feds
and show them what we got?
You got it.
Thank you.
Here I go.
- I don't know what to think.
- I don't know what to say.
Hey.
- I quit.
- What?
Well...
- Excuse me.
- It is so...
May I have this dance?
Excuse me.
I wanted to apologize
for the other night.
No, there's-there's no need
to apologize, really.
I mean, for a while there,
I really did feel like
I was doing something that made
a difference.
Oh, you were.
I could not have done this
without you.
Really?
Do you, uh, want to know
the phrase I used to remember
your name?
Really? Yes, yes.
But, you know,
you don't have to tell me.
Jake is a really good guy.
It doesn't rhyme.
It's still true.
Okay.
Oh!
Jewel thief Look at this!
Oh. It looks like the word
is out
about our esteemed host.
X.
She's his ex-girlfriend.
Yeah.
So, uh,
you must be relieved
you finally found
what you were looking for.
I found... more
than what I was looking for.
What are you gonna do
with your cut?
My cut?
Of the reward money.
I mean, you definitely
get a piece of it.
You earned it.
I mean, like, what kind of money
are we talking about here?
What?
- Yes, yes.
- Are you serious, really?
Yes, I'm serious.
I mean, if you want, it could
put a pretty healthy dent
in law school tuition.
