Who Is Simon Miller?

Synopsis: Like most families, the Millers have their challenges. Simon's (Loren Dean) frequent business trips have created some distance between him and the rest of the family, leaving Meredith (Robyn Lively) stretched and struggling to keep things together. Daughter Sarah, an 18-year-old honor student, has recently gotten herself into trouble at school while son Kevin, 15, struggles to engage with anything outside of a video game... But these issues all prove to be trivial when Simon goes missing. Sensing something is not right, the family frantically searches Simon's office for information. Discovery of a stash of passports, all with Simon's picture but each with a different alias, reveals that their father has been keeping more than a few secrets. In a frantic phone call, Simon urges the family not to tell anyone of his disappearance, not even the authorities, right before the line goes dead. Who is Simon Miller? And what exactly has he gotten himself - and now his family - into? Shocked, sca

bParis, France/b

Move it!

Out of the way!

You're ok, sweetheart?

Call Simon.

Hey there.

Hey! Got a sec?

Running to a meeting.

How's your day?

- Really good!

I made a cold eggplant soup

with an infusion of lavender

and chamomile that was amazing.

We sold out.

Oh, congratulations!

How's your oil well behaving?

Oh, at least,

tougher than I anticipated.

I think we're good.

Hello? Hello?

Simon?

You're breaking up.

Honey, I can't hear you.

Simon, are you there?

Yeah, just a few more things

to tie up.

Is there a problem?

Just anxious for you

to come home, as always.

- Yeah, thanks for checking in.

I gotta run. I'll see you--

I'll see you regular time.

Bonjour.

Cheating?

Sarah isn't alone.

There's a whole group

we're investigating.

I don't believe it.

I understand.

Sarah's a great leader,

an excellent student.

Spanish and french honors

societies, varsity gymnastics.

She's the last one

I expected to be involved.

But Sarah's never

had trouble with math before.

AP calculus is

a tough course.

A lot of our students

are struggling.

Then maybe you

should be looking,

at how effective

the teacher is.

Our priority is to

address these charges.

We'll have a disciplinary board

hearing Thursday night at 7:30.

You and your husband should

be there with Sarah.

That won't be a problem.

Not like anyone's

ever gonna see it.

You can straighten

this out, Sarah.

Just get your parents to go in

and yell at miss Widmer.

That's how Justin McAvoy

stays on the football team.

Maybe I should

go change.

I would.

I didn't do it.

Get your bag.

- Mom, I didn't do it.

But you must see how,

it strikes your

teacher as odd, Sarah.

All 6 of you scoring

than on any test this year.

The sooner you start explaining,

the better off you'll be.

It'd be nice if I could start

with you believing me.

Honey, I wish I knew

there wasn't something

you were hiding from me.

You gotta give me

something, Sarah.

Why can't you

just believe me?

And please let me

find the right time

to share this

with your father.

Ladies and

gentlemen, security...

Welcome home,

mr. Miller.

Ian, how are you,

my friend?

Your train ticket to Boston,

and your presents for your family.

- Thank you, Ian.

By the way, Meredith really

liked that jam from Charleston.

I'll remember that

the next time

you use Charleston

as your cover.

Where did we say

I was this time?

Baton Rouge?

Baton Rouge, right.

I don't know how much longer

I can take all this.

You just need a little

rest, mr. Miller.

I heard your trip to

Paris was, uh, agitated.

That's a good word.

I'll take you right

to the train station.

Hey.

I'm sorry I couldn't

get home sooner.

Is Baton Rouge

still in one piece?

Left it better

than I found it.

How are things here?

Hmm... Under control.

Aw, thanks, honey.

I thought it

could do well

with your baked ham

with pineapple.

Oh, it's a perfect match!

I'm starving, actually.

Oh! We're having pork

tenderloin la Meredith.

Ooh! Best pork tenderloin

north of the equator.

Ok, you ready?

Ready to lose?

Three, two, one. Jump!

Hey, we're home!

Hey, Einstein.

Any news from the

other side of the universe?

Just a never-ending battle

of good versus evil.

Hi, dad.

Where's your sister?

Upstairs,

plotting in her lair.

Sarah, your dad's home.

Hey, if the xbox is on,

your homework better be done.

To perfection.

Oh. Uh, I'm almost there.

Don't fall in the water.

Buddy, I am here

to save you from yourself.

So does it?

Absolutely. I'm gonna

take you there sometime.

Hey, dad.

Hi, sweetie.

Dad, that's water!

Mmm!

I missed you guys.

No, no! Jump! Jump!

Nothing ever

changes around here.

Ok, so what

did I miss?

Ok. Sarah,

what's new with you?

Got the garlic, Kevin? I'm

ready to surprise the pork.

Surprise everyone

and order a pizza.

We're committed.

Would be nice to sit down

to a real meal together.

Vegetables?

- Almost there.

Thank you.

Sarah, how's that

new vault coming?

I know you can do it, sweetie.

I've seen you do it.

Dad, I'm really trying.

Believe me.

Gotta keep at it. Two steps

forward, one step back.

Then try harder. Four steps

forward, two steps back...

Gets you there

even faster.

That's right.

Ok, mushrooms.

- All right.

Come on, come on.

Kevin, how's that

gaming club?

I'm sorry, are we done

talking about Sarah already?

Every day, a little

more, this one.

The guys in the club

were boring, so I dropped out.

I tried to stay long enough

to develop an app

to make my sister

tolerable, but I gave up.

Next time, you should try

tweaking your own personality.

Aw! Simon.

I know. Committed.

In 2 seconds, all right?

What's it gonna be this time?

Petroleum problem in Petaluma?

Methane menace in Miami?

Oil all over Omaha.

Your father is

the best geologist,

north of

the equator.

It's a compliment

that he is the man

people call in an emergency.

Ugh! Now I've got oil

all over the stove.

Somebody hand me a...

Ugh! Never mind.

Where?

West Virginia.

Natural gas pipeline.

When?

Ok! Well, we'll just make

your pork panini-portable,

and you'll be all set.

Sweetheart,

don't worry about me.

You're not gonna eat healthy.

- I'll manage.

No, you won't.

I know you.

Ok, this is gonna go well

with your panini.

It's natural.

Nothing artificial.

I just wanna make sure
