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.
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.
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.
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'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.
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!
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.
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.
