"Previously on "The Arrangement"..." "Have you looked at the language in this contract?" "He's expecting you to be, like, the perfect girlfriend." "And we both know you haven't been perfect." "Kyle West is really just a product of the Institute of the Higher Mind, which I've also heard terrible stories about." "It's about my stepbrother." "He used to come in my bedroom at night." "People are going to start to wonder:" "Did Kyle West's fiancé really smash her stepbrother's head in?" "He was killed about six years ago, and some guy went to jail for it." "What's he want?" "What makes you think Terence is going to listen to you?" "Because..." "I'm working for him now." "Wait, you're what?" "Do you or do you not want to be at the center of your own story?" "We have a huge problem, and now the reputations of both Kyle and the Institute are at serious risk." "Sometimes the ones who are most resistant end up with the biggest breakthroughs." "Kyle and I are gonna be good again." "Megan, everything's gonna be okay." "You're awake." "Good, we can get started." "You're holding me against my will." "I'm not drinking the coffee." "Suit yourself." "Personally, I use a second cup." "Most mornings will start about this time." "Initially, it'll be you and me, and then as we make progress, things will diversify." "This can be a great experience for you, Megan." "You'll be well fed, practice a healthy lifestyle, but most of all, you have the chance to truly transform your life." "You make this sound like some kind of spa." "None of these people are allowed to leave." "I know this may be hard for you to believe right now, but... most of them don't want to." "When we say, "believe"... we're talking about faith in our own visions." "We're giving ourselves over to who we know we can be." "And we recommit to that every day." "The process will start with you and me talking." "We'll go at your speed." "I want you to feel as comfortable as possible." "Of course." "Terence wants a videotaped confession." "This isn't for Terence." "Trust me, this is for you." " I'm not buying it." " I know." "Next week, you and me are going to watch this session together." "It's gonna blow your mind." "You have a file on me?" "Notes, public records, a lot of social media." "You present yourself to the world as this happy person." "Are you a happy person?" "I am a happy person." "I was." "Do you really believe that what you've been experiencing is happiness, considering the secret you've been living with?" "I'm doing my best... and everyone lives with regret." "Megan, not everyone takes another person's life and then simply walks away." "It wasn't simple." "I was young." "I was defending myself." "And I didn't think that anyone would believe me." "You were young then, but you went on to sign a contract to be in a relationship with a major celebrity." "Despite your past, you made the choice to put yourself in the public eye." "Two different kinds of people would do something like that." "A con artist, or someone who is seriously lying to herself about who she is." "So I don't know who I am, but you do because you looked at my Instagram page?" "You getting off on this, Terence?" "How's she doing?" "She's really embracing the process." "Well, it takes time." "Have we taken care of our public relations problem?" "Colton?" "I'm handling it." "How exactly?" "You never wanted to hear details about things like this before." "I set Megan up so you could kidnap her." "I want to make sure this whole thing works." "Are you worried it won't?" "This isn't some football player with a DUI." "This could be a major problem for all of us." "And I can be an asset." "Megan?" "Megan," "I want you to see something." "This is your narrative board." "It has two sides." "And as we talk, we're going to identify the lies you tell yourself, and you're gonna write them on this side of the board." "And each time we do that, we're gonna replace it with a truth on this side of the board." "Those aren't always easy to come by, but this how we're gonna build your new narrative." "Okay." "Lies go here?" "All right, I get it." "You don't want to do this with me." "Would you feel more comfortable if it were Kyle instead?" "Okay." "Kyle, why don't you come in here, please?" "You're an asshole." "I've been doing this a long time, and I've learned that resistance is usually connected to hope, so let me be clear." "Nobody is coming for you, and you are not leaving here until we undo this narrative that is destroying your life." "So you let me know when you're ready to get to work." "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your..." "Affirmations." " Do you mind if I sit?" " Please." "You're new here." " I'm Anthony." " Megan." "So... how are you holding up?" "Great." "They kidnapped me, threw me in a van, and now they want me to bare my soul." "Yeah." "The beginning is a little tough." "Yeah." "So how did you get here?" "Come on." "How to get out is what you're really interested in." "Yes." "Good." "You two have met." "Nobody's more committed to the process than Anthony." "He's going home next week." "And that's when the work really starts." " At least I have the tools now." " You're gonna be great." "So, Megan, I thought it might be helpful for you and me to take the afternoon off." "I want to give you a chance to do some exploration on your own." "I want you to find a quiet place where you can put your thoughts on paper, whatever they are." "How does that sound?" "Okay." "I'll check in with you later." "You want to get out of here?" "Do your work." "It's helped me get me out of my own way, and plus, if you don't, things get a little less pleasant." "I learned that early on." "Well, how long have you been here?" "Eight months." "I think." "It's easy to lose track." "He's three minutes late." "Maybe after we pay off the extortionist, we can have ourselves a piece of pie." "We'll see how much money we have left over." "Heads up." "You're not the movie star." "Have a seat." "My name's Terence, and this is my lovely wife, DeAnn." "I recognize you." "You're the... guru." "Okay, what do we have here?" "I'm gonna tell you how this is gonna work first." "You're not getting $5 million today." "There's a hundred grand in the bag." "In 60 days from now, if you've kept quiet, there'll be another 100 thousand, and every 60 days after that." "And in five years from now, if... things go well, you'll have $3 million." "I lost six years of my life because of that bitch." "I'm not gonna let myself be dicked over by anybody." "I get paid what I wanna get paid." "None of this low-ball bullshit." "Jesus Christ, Terence," " this was not the way to handle this." " DeAnn..." "Listen, why don't we just eliminate the problem?" "Would you just slow down for a second?" "Why?" "We're clearly wasting our time." "What are you, threatening me?" "I wanna make sure things don't get messy." "It's too late for that." "This isn't right." "Hey, wait." "This isn't the way it works." "Stop talking." "You don't get to have a say anymore." "I have spent a lifetime building what I have, and I'm not gonna let you or anyone else destroy it." " You can't tell me..." " I will put you in the ground." "So here's what's gonna happen." "You're gonna take the $100,000 and go away." "That is all you get." "And you should count your blessings, because you have messed with forces larger than you can possibly comprehend." "Our organization is everywhere." "If we see you, if we hear one word from you," "I promise you... there will be nowhere for you to run." "Go." "If you're lucky, you'll make it to your car." " Shall we have that pie?" " Sure." "No!" "Don't touch me!" "Don't..." "Get away from me!" "No!" "No!" "You can't do this to me!" "Aah!" "These all-nighters are starting to take their toll." "I hear you." "I've got four days of reflection time coming up, and all I'm gonna do is sleep." " Something wrong?" " No, I just wanna grab a bottle of water for the ride." "Well, you drive safe now." "Hey, thanks." "It's always good to see you." "Let me know next time you're coming up." "We'll go grab some breakfast." "_" "Yeah, we need the retention crew on the west end." "Right, I'm on it." "Hello?" "Is anyone there, please?" "I need help!" "My goodness!" "Please, I need to get out of sight." "Please." "Come in, then, quickly." "My God!" "You are chilled to the bone." "What happened to you?" "Sit." "I need help." " Can you drive me somewhere?" " Of course... but where do you want to go?" "I don't know." "I-I have to think." "Well, you... you sit there and think." "I'm going to get you some tea." "And some breakfast." "Scrambled eggs okay?" "Yeah, thanks." "Hey, Megan." "Jesus Christ." "Kyle!" "Hey, look, I'm here." "Everything's okay, you're safe." " We have to get out of here." " No, no, no, listen." " Breathe, okay?" "Just..." " Okay." "No, Kyle, you don't understand." " No!" "Kyle!" "No!" " Listen." "Hey!" " Stay with me." "It's okay, Megan." " No." "No!" " No, no, no!" " Just breathe." "No, Kyle, please, no!" "Hey, it's okay." " You knew about this?" " I had no choice." " You knew about this?" " It's the only way" " for us to be together." " No!" "Hey..." "I love you." "No, don't..." "I'll do it." " I'm going there with you." " Kyle..." "She looks half dead, Terence!" "She looks like she's been running through the woods all night..." "You looked worse when you went through it." "Yeah, well, I wanted to grind myself down." "Because you believed in the process, and it transformed you." "The world opened up for you after that." "You've gotta believe it's gonna do the same thing for her." "Otherwise, if you don't, we should just pull the plug." "Look, I believe in the process." "It just... it kills me to see her like this." "I know." "I know, and that's why you need to go back to L.A." "Look, you know how this works." "It's gonna take time, but she will come out the other side." "And you and I have decided to trust each other again." "So trust me on this one." "Go live your life." "Hello, Megan." "Don't be afraid." "I'm not gonna hurt you." "I'm not the enemy." "What you've been fighting so hard against for so long is you." "You buried your true self." "All we're trying to do is help you dig down to find it again." "Why?" "You already know the truth." "We know what you've done." "That you killed someone, that you let an innocent man take the blame, go to prison." "That you lied and put a lot of people at risk to conceal all of it." "But what we don't know, including yourself, I believe, is why you thought those choices were acceptable." "And whatever the answer is, that's what you're truly afraid of." "This'll help open your mind." "It's not magic." "You're only going to find the truth if you're willing to look." "And that's the choice you have to make." "Megan, this is your life." "Do you really want to live the rest of it in fear?" "It'll be half an hour before the REM state is fully suppressed." "You need to stop seeing me as a last resort." "Okay, let's focus on business." ""Vanity Fair" wants to put you on the cover of their fall movie issue, and they'd like you to speak to their photographer." "To shoot?" "No, just to go over concepts." "DeAnn..." "I'm in no head-space to have a creative conversation right now." "I just can't stop thinking about Megan and the way she looked at me." "I know." "This whole thing is a huge risk." "But we... should think about two months from now when the magazine comes out." "Just how exactly am I supposed to think about two months from now?" " I don't know what's gonna happen." " I do." "Two months from now, "The Kill Plan"" "will be raking in the money at the box office, and you are going to be prepping to direct "Technicolor Highway"" "with Megan as your leading lady and your fiancée." "Except you don't know that." "Well... when I really want something from the universe," "I choose to be optimistic." "You should, too." "Wow." "That is some sage, self-helpy bullshit." "It's all I got right now." "This doesn't look good." "This inhibitor induces something similar to a withdrawal state." "Not pleasant, but the brain activity is very vivid." "All without the corresponding addiction." "You could say the addiction is dishonestly." "You could, but that's not scientific." "Whatever she's accessing," "I'd say it's pretty deep in the vault." "Yo!" "Ho!" "Please tell me you're alone." "I'm looking for Evan." "Does he live here?" "Depends on who's asking." "I'm Megan, I'm his stepsister." "Stepsister?" "That works." "Come on in." "Maybe drop your backpack." "You're gonna knock people over with that thing." "Okay." "And can I get you a drink?" "Some champagne, something stronger?" "That sounds cool, but I'd like to see Evan first." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Come on, come on." "Right this way." "Evan!" "You're not gonna believe this, you're not gonna believe this." "Look who just came to the party." "My God!" "It's my baby sister!" " Hi!" " Hi." "Reunion!" "Hey!" "What are you doing in Hong Kong?" "I just, um..." "I wanted to see you and talk to you about something." " Are you okay?" " Yeah!" "So... what's going on?" "I just took some time off from school." "I-I've been traveling." "I heard you were here, and I'd like to talk to you about some stuff." "I don't know if you can really talk right now..." " You've got a lot going on." " Yeah, no..." " If it's a bad time, I can come back..." " No, no, no!" "No, I'm so glad you're here." "Evan!" "Evan, come here." " Shit." " Come here." "I gotta take care of some business." "I mean, I could come back if you're busy," " if it's a bad time." " No, no, stick around." " We'll..." " Sure?" "Yeah, yeah, we'll catch up when everyone leaves." "Okay, yeah, go, go." "Walter was never part of the deal." "Relax, dude." "I didn't tell him anything." "I swear to God, man, I'm going to kill you." "Finally?" "Here you go." "I came here because..." "I wanted to talk to you." "Since Mom died, I've..." "I've needed to talk to you." "Um..." "You know, cancer... sucks." "I wish I could've gone back, but..." "I'm glad you came." "Look at you." "You grew up to be so gorgeous." "Don't say that." " It's true." " No, Evan." "What?" " What are you doing?" " Come on." "Evan!" "I was 11 years old." "We were both kids." "No." "No, you weren't a kid, you were..." "You were 17." "Okay?" "You..." "You took advantage of me." "And it really messed me up." "And I came here because..." "I need you to know that it wasn't okay." "I need you to know that." "You're so full of shit." "No." "Yeah." "You show up here, in your little outfit?" "With your speech?" "What are you talking about?" "You're acting like I raped you." "You did rape me." "That's bullshit." "Yes, you did!" "Come on, you know you liked it." "No, I..." "What are you talking about?" " You liked it!" " What are you doing?" "Stop!" "What are you doing?" "Evan!" "Get off of me!" "Evan!" "Stop it!" "Stop!" "Stop it!" "Get off of me!" "Get back here!" "Get off of me!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Megan?" "Megan?" "Megan, Megan, where did you go?" " Tell me." " It wa..." "It wasn't self-defense." "I was payback." "It was payback." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "Now that is something to build on." "If you say so." "Your truths always evolve." "Eventually, fear gives way to the desire to understand." "And that's when you really start shaping your narrative." "What "Vanity Fair" seems to like is when we get away from the typical glamour shot." "You know, Kyle West in a jacket, probing expression on your face." "Maybe, less manufactured, a little more candid." "No, actually, the opposite." "I wanna do something totally manufactured." "Robert Pattinson spent a lot of time talking about his meticulous approach to acting." "So I shot him performing open-heart surgery." "I remember that." "Yeah, I liked it." "So I want to find a visual metaphor for you." "That's how we can make a statement about who the real Kyle West is." "And who do you think I am?" "Well, let's talk about it." "This place... is pretty interesting." "I mean, what if we shot you surrounded by a group of Hare Krishnas?" "You think that's interesting?" "Well, again, I'm talking about a visual metaphor here." "Most of these people, they came here because of you." "You're a celebrity icon of personal growth." "It's bullshit." "You wanna know the real reason we're here?" "The truth?" "Every time I leave my house, this is the only place I can go where people actually... leave me alone." "I can't go to a restaurant, to a park, to the movies without somebody wanting a piece of my life." "They think that it's all fair game for public consumption." "I live in a fishbowl, man." "It makes it impossible for me to actually hold on to anything that's actually real." "Wow." "Sorry it... it sounds like celebrity whining, I just..." "I don't know, I'm not in a good place right now." "But you're in a real place, and that's good." "That's beautiful." "You're back." "Megan had some big breakthroughs." "Took a really honest look at herself and her non-productives." "For the first time in my life." "There's so much I want to tell you." "I want to hear all of it." "I think that's my cue." "We'll talk later." "Thank you." "For everything." "You okay?" "I'm nervous, to be honest." "Megan, you... you have to know that..." "I didn't want to send you up there." " Terence gave me no choice." " Kyle..." "I spent two months... at that facility." "I know what it is." "I did..." "I did go to him, though." "I didn't know what else to do." "Anytime my life has ever gotten too big," "Terence has always been there to help." "And this got way too big." "I thought that if I went at it alone, that I might lose you." "Terence said the Facility was the only option." "Kyle... it was the only option." " Megan, you don't have to say that." " No, please, I do." "The Facility was... incredibly hard, and I was scared at first, and angry, but..." "I wouldn't know who I am if I hadn't been through it." "I've been hiding." "For years." "And it's undermined everything I care about... you, my friends, my work." "I don't know how this is all supposed to work now." "It's... it's overwhelming, but... at least I feel free." "She's not 100% there yet, but considering where we started..." "Well, the timing is perfect." "It'll be good for them to be out and about during awards season." "Yeah, we'll keep an eye on her." "Make sure things stay on track." "Sure." "There's something you should see." "What is it?" "It's our man, Colton." "He's dead?" "What?" "Can I see?" "It says here that he drowned." "The body was in the water for nearly two weeks." "They're waiting on a toxicology report." "Thank you." "I guess some people just can't get out of their own way." "Everything okay?" "I couldn't sleep." "Hey." "What is it?" "I just..." "I couldn't stop thinking about losing you." "Babe, you're not gonna lose me." "I'm right here." "I know you are, but... what if things don't go well?" "What if I go back to the way I was?" "Hey, that's not gonna happen." "I promise." "So you're gonna get some softball questions about "The Kill Plan,"" "but what they're really gonna wanna know about are plans for the wedding." "Ooh, we should really figure that out." "We'll be coy and mysterious." "Great, and see if you can steer them in the direction of "Technicolor Highway."" "New frontier for Kyle, chance for the two of you to work together..." "like that." "We still have a few minutes." "Do you want to workshop it?" "I think it's more natural if I do it off the cuff." "I'm wondering if I should talk about the Institute." "I don't have to, I just want to know if it's okay." "If it feels right." "Megan." "Megan!" "Hey, Les." "Why haven't you returned any of my calls?" "Megan, can I take you to the press line?" "Take three steps back." "Look, I need you to know there was nothing I could do" " to stop Terence." " Leslie..." "He threatened me... we had to lie about where you were." "Leslie, it's okay." "I don't blame anybody for it." "It was all for the best." "You're still my client, Megan." "It's good to see you." "So, just between us, can you give me a hint of what you're planning for the wedding?" "Yeah, believe me, I would, but she'd kill me." "Well, I can tell you this:" "That one of us will be wearing a very nice dress." "Yeah, I look great in white." "Okay, all right, all right, I get it." "Megan, tell me, you're getting married, you're doing this movie with your fiancé." "Do you ever just pinch yourself to make sure this isn't a dream?" "Well, it is dreamy, but..." "Kyle has been really great about helping me stay grounded and focused on what really matters." "That's great." "And it's so great to see you both." " Enjoy the evening." " Thank you." " Thank you so much." " Bye, guys." "Shall we?" "I know exactly what you're talking about." "I used to think that my resistance was some kind of five-headed monster, but at least I know now I have the ability to pick it up and put it to the side." "It's easier said than done sometimes, but... when I can get out of that trap," "I really start to see what my life could look like." "Thank you, Vanessa." "All right." "Shark time." "All looking beautiful." "More bubbles, please." "Lovely." "You got the paper?" "He's got the trophy." "And run away, NayNay!" "This is all you, man." "Beautiful." "King of the sea." "So how was the personal mythology workshop?" " Really, really good." " Yeah?" "You know, lots of stories to unwind." "Was it that way for you?" "Sure." "So tell me about the job." "How's it going?" "It's fine." "Megan, are we just not gonna talk about what happened to you?" "When everything was going down with Colton, why didn't you tell Terence about my past?" "Because you asked me not to." "Even though you knew it was the right thing to do?" "You made a commitment to IHM, didn't you?" "Of course I made a commitment, I work here." "But your friendship means more to me than a job." "I hope you can trust me on that." "I do." "I do trust you." "You're the one person in my life who's always told me the truth." "Megan, of course." "And I have to be truthful with you." "It's only right." "I went through hell to get back to Kyle and become part of the Institute, and... now I'm here, and I need you." "'Cause I'm gonna burn the whole thing down."
