-I gotta get some cash, Mama,

-Do not pick up until I'm out of here.

Come on, I know you're in there,

You ain't going nowhere, pick up,

-Hi, Mom.

-I just wanted to make sure,,,

,,,you were down there

safe and sound,

Couldn't be safer and sounder.

I got a lot of unpacking to do, so....

I ran into Binky Davenport

at the club today,

-Oh, what a coincidence.

-Declan,

As upset and disappointed as all

parties involved are at the moment,,,

,,,I was given

the unmistakable indication,,,

,,,if you were to apologize for your

rashness and lack of consideration,,,

,,,the Davenports may be open

to reannouncing the engagement,

Mom, Mom, Mom.

I did all parties involved a massive

favor by saving a wonderful woman...

...from marrying a man

who was not in love with her.

It's all that Remy's fault

getting you to quit your job,,,

,,,spending your last dime on some

overpriced cabin in the swamp,

The overpriced cabin

in the swamp...

...coming on the market

was the catalyst, not the cause.

And I quit my job because if I had

to file one more pre-trial motion--

Declan,

Declan, I--

Mom, let me call you back.

I gotta call the realtor.

-Love you.

-Fine,

How's the new homeowner?

Actually, I was wondering

about the old homeowners.

Weren't they supposed to have

their stuff moved out before I got here?

We didn't have anything

to move out,

They sold the place

before the furniture got there,

Nobody's been in that house

for a year,

Then somebody's

definitely been squatting.

There's a room full of furniture

and it looks very lived-in.

Oh, my god,

I'll get a moving crew there, have the

locks changed first thing in the a,m,

Thank you.

I haven't seen you jump since the first

time you set foot on this property.

Hey, would you--?

Would you mind going up there

and checking it out?

Up there for me?

It's a little dusty for me.

The humidity down here

is hell on my allergies.

Allergies.

And I thought I knew everything

there was to know about you.

What do you see? What--?

What's up there?

There's nothing up here.

Just an old brass fireplace set.

Mind if we break open

your housewarming gift?

I knew there was a reason I love you

more than my mother.

We are not allowed in there,

you know that,

Hello?

What do you think you're doing,

Abigail?

If she catches us in here,

we're both gonna get in trouble.

I can go wherever I want to.

Abigail.

It's me.

Abigail, if you go in that front room

she'll have your head.

You know the rules.

Downstairs maids strictly

on the servant's stairs.

I'm not scared of her.

Lucian.

My fair brother.

He's like a Greek god, isn't he?

Down from Mount Olympus

to walk amongst the mortals.
