The story so far
Everything you need before watchingDetective Blanc keeps circling Harlan's last birthday, and the family's tidy stories start to split. Walt says it was a chat about e-books; the flashback shows Harlan taking the company away in a quiet voice. Everyone swears they love Ransom, then names him the black sheep who detonated behind a closed door. Richard denies a screaming match in the study. Joni shrugs off a tuition mix-up. Four private wars, one party—and each fight is about money, pride, or a secret that was about to land.

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageThey're not our books, son. They're my books. And this is not how I wanted to have this conversation. But you're right, you're right. It's unfair of me to keep you tethered to something that isn't yours to control. What? No, I've done you a grave disservice. All these years, I've kept you from building something of your own that was yours. But you're not going to be running the publishing house anymore. You're free of it.
那不是咱们的账本,儿子。 那是我的账本。 而且我本来不想用这种方式谈。 但你说得对,你说得对。 我把你拴在这儿,不公平 拴在一件你说了不算的事上。 什么? 不,我害你害得不浅。 这么多年, 我拦着你,没让你去撑起 一份真正属于你自己的东西。 不过你不会再管 这家出版社了。 你自由了。
Well, Alan didn't mail it because he caught a discrepancy. Alan's office has been wiring tuition directly to the school as per your request. But Phyllis's office that handles your yearly allowance has been wiring tuition monies directly to you as well. You have been double-dipping Meg's tuition and stealing from me. for the past four years.
