So, Sun Valley? Amazing?
It was. I made a lot of great contacts.
Ooh, tell.
Well, I met the Google guys and the YouTube guys
and the guy that invented the Segway.
Cool. Um, any other "contacts"?
Oh, God. What are you, pimping or assisting?
I'm assisting you... to a little fun.
What are you talking about? I am totally capable of fun.
I have tons of it.
Okay, I do your calendar, and since you've started this job,
all I see is tons of empty space on tons of nights.
Right. Well, that calendar is not accurate completely.
Mm.

Nolan Powers.
The self-help guru?
One in the same.
But according to his books,
he doesn't even believe in therapy.
And Connor is sending him to me?
No, Connor is sending you to him.
Powers: Snap out of it.
"Paths to power"... Is about believing in yourself.
Never say, "I can't."
The power lies in you
to shape and mold and bend your destiny to your will.
You see, we focus too much on our weaknesses.
That's why I just say no to therapy.
There's too much talk and not enough action.
You talk and you talk until you make your therapist wealthy.
[ Laughter ]
You see, therapy, to me, is like the prison industry.
It's a life sentence.
I guess you won't be buying his book anytime soon.
Not unless I run out of firewood.
I, like many of you, suffered abuse as a child.
Pitifully plump -- I was ridiculed.
I used to binge on pizzas and hot dogs and cupcakes,
and then pizzas with hot dogs and cupcakes for toppings.
[ Laughter ]
I couldn't see my feet, but I'd whine --
"Why can't I get a girlfriend? Why can't I get a job?"
I had to wipe that sauce from my eyes,
take a good, hard look in the mirror.
I had to destroy those weaknesses,
ignore those voices, and... Snap out of it.
Come on, now. Don't be shy.
Ignore those voices and -- what is it?
All: Snap out of it!
Powers: One more time. I couldn't quite hear you.
All: Snap out of it! Whoo!
[ Applause ] Thank you, everybody.
Nolan Powers! Great job!

Allie, Nolan, this is Dr. Dani Santino.
She's our in-house therapist.
Nice to meet you, Dr. Santino. And you, Mr. Powers.
My fiancée, Allie.
So, therapist, huh?
Let me hazard a guess. You're not a fan of my work.
Oh, let's say that I'm aware of your work.
Ah, the curse of indifference. You wound me.
Oh, I'm just surprised that you're so anti-therapy
when many of "Powers Pillars" have therapeutic roots.
I'm not anti-therapy. I'm pro-active.
I prefer not to dwell on the past. Oh, I don't dwell on it.
I help people come to terms with it so they can move forward.
What's the expression? "Talk is cheap"?

He's a little quirky, unpredictable.

so that he can have improper late-night discussions

Which is exactly what Powers is doing.
I would never do that!
Not in a million years.
All right. But the fake account? These e-mails?
I get thousands a day from all over the world.
But I've never seen these.

to talk to little girls about Spongebob Squarepants or --

or you need to talk...
You know, I expect this from her.
But you? After everything we've been through,
this is how you treat me?
Nolan, I'm on your side, but, come on, man.
You got to admit this requires some sort of explanation.
No, it does not! Because I didn't do this!

And you're next if you keep this up.

...women's panties.
[ Laughs ] Panties? Panties are your future?
Well, it's weird when you put it that way, but, yes.
I would start a lingerie line called Brickhouse Lingerie,
for that woman who's built like a '70s funk song.
You know what I'm saying? [ Laughs ]
You heard of a G-string?
I have.
Yeah, well, I would make a T.K.-string.
Yeah, and then I would do some flavored panties
for the disenfranchised young ladies down here,
and I would put some booty pads in it,
'cause you want that donky-donk in the trunky-trunk
when you're messing with the Brickhouse.
You know what I'm saying? [ Both laugh ]
I think that T.K. could be for lingerie
what Joe Namath was for pantyhose.
It's like a masculine take on the feminine.
Okay, I love it.

It's sexy and funny and masculine and feminine.
You are hitting all the quadrants.

Okay, stop. Can we talk about this later?
Because you are being unprofessional.
I'm being unprofessional? Yeah.

because the reflection has two sides.

Connor, Brickhouse Lingerie was my idea first.
Yes.
So she has no right to pitch this to you
without my consent.

some sort of communication glitch here,
and I suggest you both figure out,
because we're one big, happy family. No, no, no, no, no.

Mm-hmm. It's used for migraines.

And he blacks out sometimes. What do you mean, "blacks out"?
I don't know. He just blacks out.
I mean, that's why he doesn't drink.
He doesn't want to lose control.
All right, so, Allie said he cut off contact.
We have his cellphone, and he's not at the hotel.
Yeah, and Nico checked the hospitals, the morgue. How does this happen?
How does a recognizable guy like Powers just disappear
into thin air?
And this stuff -- this doesn't look good.
I mean, drawings, crayons, kid scissors.
Yeah, they're lefty scissors.
What do you mean, lefty scissors?
Lefty.
Good news and bad news.
We think we found him. W-where?
The Trenton police are holding him
for attempted arson of his childhood home.
He had no I.D. on him. He was disoriented.

is keeping a lid on it until we get out there.

Why does a guy like Nolan Powers try to burn his house down?
Or why -- why does he do any of this?
Unless it's not Nolan Powers.
[ Siren wails ]
I owe you.
All smoothed out.
No charges will be filed. He's in the holding area.
All right, well, before they release him and he runs off again,
I would really like to speak with him. Yeah, so would I.
Well, would you mind if I talked to him first, alone?
Jeff.
[ Sighs ]
I didn't set some house on fire.
Okay, but it wasn't just some house.
It's where you grew up, right?
So what?! I wasn't trying to burn it down!
What were you doing there, Nolan?
I don't know.
[ Sighs ]
Nolan, who wrote this?
Not me!
Someone's trying to destroy me! Don't you get it?!
Who? Who is trying to destroy you?
Help me understand that.
Oh, God.
Are you having another migraine?
I'm not gonna talk to anyone until I see my lawyer.
Okay. Okay.
I understand. You don't want to talk to me.
I'm just wondering...
If someone else does.
Someone else? What the hell are you talking about?
What are you drawing?
Castle.
It keeps people safe.
I want to tell you something
about what's been going on, but he won't listen.
Well, I'll listen.
What's your name?
Scotty.
How old are you, Scotty?
8 3/4.
It's all good.
We should get him out of here before anybody sniffs this out.
Okay.
You okay? What happened in there?
Um...
I don't even know where to begin.
Multiple personalities?
It's also called Dissociative Identity Disorder.
It's when two distinct identities are fighting
to control one person.
And often, memory loss accompanies it.
So, you're saying these blackouts
are 'cause this alter ego, Scotty,
has taken control of my mind?
Somewhere in your childhood, you suffered abuse
that was so traumatizing --
severe enough that it forced you to split,
to disassociate.
You are the host personality
that has created this entire empire.
And then Scotty, the alter personality,
is this scared 8-year-old, little boy.
The one who sent those e-mails.
The one who wants help.
But how can I possibly have built what I've built
if I really have this alter ego?
Many people with D.I.D. are exceptionally high functioning.
We're talking about Heisman trophy winners, C.E.O.s,
famous musicians and actors.
And, frankly, their ability to compartmentalize
is a big part of their success.
So...What now?
Well, I would like to refer you to a specialist
who deals with this condition,
'cause it's out of my area of expertise.
But I do know one thing, and that is if you want to
integrate Scotty and Nolan, then therapy is imperative.
And, uh...
And what if I don't go?
Scotty will keep trying to burn the house down
until he is heard.
And you will have many more episodes like these.
[ Sighs ]
How the hell did you figure all this out?
It was the sudden shift in personalities and the migraines,
the blackouts that you mentioned.
It's how he transitioned between personas.
So he was either a pathological liar
or he really didn't remember doing those things.
So, that's how he passed the lie-detector test?
Yes.
I also picked up that he switched
from being a righty to a lefty,
which is another sign of switching personas.
I think that he resisted going to therapy all these years
in an effort to hide it.
Mm-hmm. Right? 'Cause Scotty wanted help.
But then Powers wanted to hide the truth,
so then he just taught himself to snap out of it.
Thinking about this thing is giving me a migraine.
I know. He didn't want to talk about it.
That's why he wanted me to explain it to you.
But he did want you to know that he will be at the book signing.
Hey, Santino.
I'm sorry that I didn't, uh, trust you.
It's a new relationship. Trust is earned.
All right. Here.
Enjoy.

[ Mumbling ]
Hey, Connor, I just wanted to say I was sorry about --
Save it. No need for sorry. I'm in.
[ Laughs ] That's -- that's great.
Uh, but, uh, you're in for what exactly?
Brickhouse.
Hi.
[ Chuckles ]
Connor: I've had some time to think about this.
This is -- this is good. This is dynamic.
I mean, the merging of your two different personas
is like Yin and Yang.
Like we're two sides of the same coin.
A sexy coin, though, so you two need to kiss and make up.
Yes. I mean, think about it.
The two of you together, pimping this thing out?
And Brickhouse could do for lingerie
what P. Diddy did for men's wear.
You think so?
I know so. We just have to come up
with a brand name like he did --
like Sean John, so let's think about it.
We got, uh -- oh, T.K, Sheera.
Tkeera. [ Fingers snap ]
She-K. I love it.
Why does she get top billing? This is good.
We'll put a design team together.
"Brickhouse by She-K." I like this.
I hope you two like working together,
because this is -- this is good.
Powers -- on the phone.
All right. You two -- da-da. [ Fingers snap ]
Honey, I'm home.
What's for dinner?
I [Laughs] Uh, sleep with a side of sleep.
I'm heading out.
I see you go the flowers.
Oh, my God. Yes. Thank you.
I'm so sorry. They're beautiful.
Tough day?
Tough week.
I got just the cure.
I'm staying at the Empire Grand Hotel.
The bartender there makes a martini
you could prescribe to kill depression.
Join me for some treatment?
Oh, I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
Fair enough.
But if you change your mind, I'll be there.
Tonight, tomorrow night -- lady's choice.
Could be you just need a little of my personal therapy.
Oh.
Oh, well, back to that empty calendar.
Oh, hi, pimpy. Assist-y.
I'm just wondering what's stopping you,
an unattached, awesome woman, from having drinks
with an unattached, handsome, lovely man?
Everything you asked for.
Says he found a second set of books V3 keeps.
All its financial transactions.
Oh, this is Disneyland-worthy.
Our analysts will have a field day.
Outstanding, Mr. Careles.
Now, about that down payment.
What did you have in mind?
I.C.E.
[ Telephone rings ]
Man: This is I.C.E. How can I help you?
What's your business here?
Visitation.
I.D.?
You must have some friends in high places.
Name of the inmate?
Careles. Alex Careles.
To your left.
Thanks.
[ Buzzer ]
[ Indistinct conversations ]
What's your name? Mark.
Mark? Nice to meet you, Mark. Thank you so much for coming.
Hey. Hey.
I spoke to Powers. And...?
And he's blowing off the psychiatrist you wanted him to see.
Connor, you can't let him do that.
He needs help.
He's a ticking time bomb, and when he goes boom --
He'll write another book all about it,
he'll make another $100 million, and I'll do what I always do.
I'll keep an eye on him.
Santino, don't take this so hard.
You did your best.
This is for you, miss.
My God.
Wow.
Yeah.
You just needed a little laughter in your life.
Mm-hmm. I'm glad you changed your mind.
Me too.
Can't forget that every now and then
you need to...decompress.
And you were right. These martinis are awesome.
My best friend fell in love over one of these.
Oh?
I can see how.
[ Sighs ] Bartender: Last call.
Could you just put it on the room?
Of course.
Thank you. Ohh.
Looks like the party's coming to an end.
Hmm... Maybe it doesn't have to.
Oh. [ Laughs ]
Well, I don't know if I've had that many martinis.
Maybe I'm not that kind of girl.
Well, maybe Dr. Santino from the office isn't.
But the Dani sitting right here --
she might be a different story.
She seems to enjoy a fun time, and that is what I'm promising.
I leave tomorrow.
But tonight, I'm in room 314.
Oh, and...
If the off chance I'm wrong about this,
please don't tell H.R.
