Previously on "The Watchful Eye"...

My niece Allie was pushed off that ledge.

Many mysterious deaths happening in this building.

- So, the Wards' old nanny... - Morgan.

One day, poof, she disappears.

Do you know what happened? Like, why she left?

Not really, no, I don't.

If we pull this off, we're set for life.

You, me, we can go anywhere you want.

I wonder how we are going to explain to Tory

what you're doing in here.

But maybe there's something we can do to work it out.

Dad?

Are you Jillian?

Jocelyn.

So it's just you, me, and Jocelyn up here?

Pretty sure we're the only ones up here.

And who is that woman?

The nanny. Jocelyn.

She died when I was a baby.

This ruby is worth a fortune.

- We earned this. - We're stealing it.

Searched all the common areas, and nothing.

No gems, no clues.

This place is starting to push me over the edge.

I had trouble sleepin' here too.

I felt...

Trapped.

Like I couldn't leave the Greybourne

even if I wanted to.

Like there was no way out.

Like you can't breathe.

I was talkin' to her like I'm talkin' to you!

Except she's dead.

You probably just saw her face when we were doing our research.

I mean, those type of things...

they get lodged in your subconscious brain.

Even if you just glanced at it for a second in a magazine

or you saw somebody on a train or somethin'.

And you were at the library for what, like weeks?

Lookin' at microfiche?

Come here.

You know what we're gonna do?

When we're rich, we're just gonna drive to the airport,

we're gonna look at all the flights,

see where they're going, pick one.

Buy clothes when we get there?

Clothes? What do you need clothes for?

Seriously, though.

We need to stay on target.

We're too close, okay? I can feel it.

What if this is just a fool's errand?

What if we get there and there's nothing at the Greybourne?

This building is freaking me out.

We could just cut and run.

That's not the deal we made.

I know.

Okay.

I'll just go to Tory's.

Her husband walked in on me before I could find anything,

but I'm sure that there's something there and...

- Good. - ... I'll find it.

Good.

Morning, Miss.

Good morning. You must be...

Roman. The new doorman.

Right. Yeah. I'm Elena.

I work for the Wards on the 10th floor.

A pleasure.

Excuse me.

Mrs. Ayres, let me help you out with that.

Oh, thank you. I over-packed as usual.

Dr. Ayres will be down in a moment,

he's calling the office,

like there's no cell service in Quogue.

It's a good thing you're getting out of the city this weekend.

It's supposed to be brutally hot.

Car's right out front, and I made sure it's fully charged.

You're a wonder, Roman.

Excuse me.

Can I help you with something?

I was just admiring the artwork.

So, how long did Mrs. Ayres

say she was going out of town for?

- Just a short trip. - Great. Thanks.

Hey, early bird!

Oh, I was...

I just couldn't sleep, so...

got some rocket fuel.

Everything okay?

You still stressed about the weird stories

about Jasper's old nanny?

No! No.

I... The... It's just hot up here.

You meet the new doorman?

- Ramiro or... - Roman.

Yeah. He is a sweetheart.

Mnh. Kind of a kiss-ass, really.

Ooh. I'm fine with that.

Are you sure you're good?

Actually, no.

I've been having these really, really weird dreams.

Like, really vivid and scary.

And I don't know how to actually explain this,

but it feels like someone's trying to talk to me,

or trying to hurt me.

And it's not just when I'm asleep.

I can feel, like, a presence here.

Here at the Greybourne?

In my room.

And I don't even believe in this stuff.

It's probably just stress... and being in a new place.

I just feel really crazy saying it out loud.

Well, I don't think you're crazy.

And if it ever happens again, I am right next door.

Just come get me.

Girl, bang on the wall.

Look, if you want new drawings for tomorrow,

then you have to wait until tomorrow.

All right, well, then call Alan, that's not my department.

Yeah, I'll call you afterwards.

Damn it. This stupid thing.

Here, I got you.

I used to have to tie my dad's tie

whenever he had to tighten up and look sharp.

And...

Wow.

Thanks.

Ants on a log?

How about coffee?

Good choice.

Tonight after work,

Jasper's gonna stay at Cassiopeia's downstairs.

So pack him a bag and drop him off there whenever you want.

Sure, no problem.

I heard that Tory is gonna be out of town.

I don't know if she needs anyone to water her plants or anything.

- If you have a key. - That's nice of you to offer.

But, uh, I'm sure Candace will take care of it.

See ya.

Bye.

Gentleman Jasper! Lemme get a high five!

Don't leave me hanging, man!

- No high five? - My hands are full.

Yeah, me too, buddy.

Hey!

Hi!

Oh, my God, Jasper, I love your car!

Are you going for a joyride?

This is a toy.

Oh, okay.

I heard your parents are out of town.

Any fun plans?

I have, like, four movies I need to watch

for this summer film studies course at the New School.

Ooh. Film festival... fun.

I mean, if you think Bu�uel is fun.

I think Bu�uel is terrifying

and you should not watch those movies alone.

There's a thing with an eye and...

What thing with the eye?

You don't want to know.

Elliott! Hey!

Guess what. Darcy's folks are out of town

and she has to watch some movies for class

and we're going to keep her company.

I... I'm supposed to go to my cousin's debate tournament

in Bronxville this weekend. So, maybe another time.

Yeah, no, Elliott is going to skip

his cousin's debate tournament

so that he can hang out with us and watch movies.

That sounds so fun! Tonight?

Like eight? Yeah?

- I'll order pizza! - Ooh.

Dude, I can't believe you did that.

I'm a Gen Z yenta.

A zenta!

Thanks.

Come on.

Elena, look at this!

Ahh! There it goes!

You are receiving a phone call from an inmate

at the State Correctional Facility at Plainview.

Please hold to accept the call.

Elena?

I wanted to speak to my daughter.

Is that so terrible?

What do you want, Ronnie?

- I have a favor to ask you. - Of course you do.

I need you to write a letter to the parole board

in support of my release.

Say you miss your mother and I did my time and all that.

So I should lie.

You owe me this.

I owe you this?

You got a lot of nerve.

After you took our welfare money to Atlantic City,

after you stole rent checks from our landlord,

after you made me forge signatures

on credit card applications...

Maybe you write this letter and I don't rain hell

down on your head for what you did to me.

- I was a kid. - You think I can't get to you from in here?

How do you think I got this number?

Scott, I've been calling you all day.

Yeah, and I'm calling you back. Relax.

Relax?

Scott, Ronnie called.

- Shit. - Yeah.

Only you and Teo have this number.

So, how did she get it?

I have no idea.

But you always said she was the ultimate schemer, so...

Tell me everything I know, right?

No, th... That's not what I meant, okay?

You're nothing like her, Elena. You were just manipulated by her

like everyone else in her life 'cause she's a narcissist.

Yeah, but she's my mom, and I put her in jail.

Okay, you did not put her in jail.

She put herself in jail: the things that she did,

the things that she made you do...

all you did was tell the truth.

- To save my own ass. - Yeah.

Who else is gonna save it?

Look, you made your choices, she made hers.

It's gonna be fine, okay?

I-I'll look into it.

I'll figure out how she got the number.

I love how you whip out your Army-brat Spanish

anytime you want me to listen.

Yeah? Does it piss you off?

No. It's cute.

Well, you learn a lot of useful stuff growing up on a base.

Hey, why don't you come over tonight?

I'll cook you dinner, help you take your mind of all this.

No. I'm busy.

Busy doing what? I thought you were off tonight.

Yeah, but Tory's out of town,

so I wrangled up a movie night with her stepdaughter, Darcy,

and Elliott, who has a crush on her.

So, while they're paying no attention to me,

I can get back into Tory's office.

- And? - And?

Tory's, like, the family archivist,

so she's got a bunch of files and records and artifacts.

I think that if there's a clue about the ruby, it's in there.

And no creepy husband walking in on me this time.

Okay. Good. Well, just let me know if you find anything.

Okay.

Ginny said you'd been feeling troubled with some lurking spirits.

So we said, let's do a cleanse.

I brought palo santo.

And we have provisions, courtesy of our bosses.

Yeah, they gave us the cheap caviar they buy for the help.

It's only $500 an ounce.

You guys, I... I actually...

I was supposed to help Elliott with something and...

Sure, come in.

Okay, um... yeah.

Elliott!

Yeah. Um, go on.

Bennet and her terrible friends decided to have a kick back.

I... see that.

So tedious.

I wanted to have the place to ourselves.

I'll be right there.

Oh, my God! Hi, Elliott!

Tell your entourage to stick to the Solo cups instead of the crystal.

Okay. Solo cups for cognac?

This isn't Fyre Festival, Darcy.

Philistines.

Hey, do you have any pot?

Not... on me.

That's okay. I-I think I have some.

So glad you called us, Ginny.

I've always wanted to do a cleanse.

_

Why do you have two phones?

Oh! One's for work,

and the other one is for "Candy Crush."

Oh.

Uh, I hope it's okay that I told them

about the "haunted mansion" of it all.

Yeah! No. It's fine. It'll be fun.

Okay, good.

So, how long does this cleanse take?

Who's that?

James! You made it!

- Hi. - It's James.

Wow, this is cozy, huh?

I didn't know James was coming.

Yeah. He, uh...

He said he's never been to a ghost cleansing thing.

Can I offer you some Champagne, my liege?

Sure.

? Out your name ?

- Hey. - Hi.

Um, can we have a quick word?

Sure. Let's go in the hallway.

Listen, I mainly wanted to come to say sorry

about my Irish goodbye the other night.

It's okay... I kind of put you on the spot.

Morgan's story isn't my story to tell.

All I know is that she signed this NDA,

and so even if she wanted to talk, she can't.

An NDA? For what?

I guess that's the point of an NDA, huh?

Yeah, kinda.

Still, no one signs an NDA

because they had a great experience.

I really can't say any more.

Um, but I was having a lot of fun the other night,

and I was really psyched when Alex called me to come hang out.

I hope it's okay that I'm here.

Of course, but actually I was just about to run down...

Hope I'm not interrupting.

Who's ready to banish some ghosts?

Yeah. All right.

Oh, my God, I just realized something.

What?

I don't remember.

Aw, it was such an important thing.

You'll think of it.

You've got one of those brains, I can tell.

Mm-hmm.

I didn't even realize you knew who I was.

Are you serious? We live in the same building.

I know, but...

You're you.

And you're you.

Yeah.

And you seem smart.

Why wouldn't I notice you?

Sorry. One second.

_

You wanna see something neat?

Uh, sure.

_

This is the most complex watch ever made.

It belonged to Alistair Greybourne.

Wow. That's pretty cool.

Mm-hmm.

C'mere.

Uh, oh, yeah.

Mm.

Let me see.

"To Alistair, on your 40th birthday,

from your loyal wife, Iris."

She must have really loved him.

Um, do you think we should go back out there

and see if the apartment's on fire?

That's our smoke.

- Yeah. - Not danger smoke.

You're right. Why worry.

Yeah. Um...

So, um...

do I ask you...

if you consent?

Or do I just say I consent and then you go?

I definitely consent.

Yeah.

I consent in every conjugation of the verb.

I can even consent in three other languages.

- Really? - You know, I can even spell

consent backwards, I can spell consent forwards.

- I can spell... - Shh.

? I keep on talkin' trash but I never say anything ?

So, what did you see, anyways?

Like... an apparition?

Or was it more like a feeling, you know?

It was a feeling at first.

Um, but I... I definitely saw someone.

It was a woman.

Whoa.

Did you see her?

No, but I believe Elena.

Well, there's no question that this building

is a prime candidate for haunting.

The aesthetic alone.

But then the fact that it was built on top of a neighborhood

that just burned down years ago.

Like a shantytown.

I think it was called, um, Foxhill Village... yeah.

And then the whole incident was just covered up.

Like, literally.

? Just being around you offers me another form of relief ?

I did a ghost tour when I first moved to the city.

Yeah. It was exceptionally corny but I learnt a lot.

My God, I've always wanted to go on one of those.

That's such a coincidence.

Uh, maybe we should cleanse my room, too.

Uh, Kim, wanna help me?

Yeah.

? I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news ?

Oh, i-is it okay if we stay here?

Sure.

James, I want you to tell me

everywhere you've ever been in your entire life.

Okay.

Come on in.

I am so glad that James is here.

- Alex really likes him. - Right? It's cute.

Okay, I feel like I should something, you know?

Like, um... like a prayer or something?

Or an incantation?

Oh, yeah, talk dirty to me.

Maybe.

I mean, I did the five-day hike instead of the three-day.

You'll have to give me your tips.

Yeah, well, I mean, I don't have it on me, but maybe next time

I can bring my travel diary, show it to you.

It's got all my notes and things.

I love that.

Okay, I'm gonna check on Ginny's cleanse.

"Enemies to lovers" is a crowd pleaser

but "second-chance romance" just hits different.

- Okay. - Mm-hmm.

Okay, but, wait, I have a great rec.

Oh, my God, Bennet.

Dad and Tory are coming home now!

Oh, shit.

- Hey. - Hey! I was just looking for you.

- Everything okay? - Yes and no.

Tory and Dick, they called... no, they texted.

They're coming home.

And Bennet has a lot of drunk friends,

and we gotta get 'em out of here.

And I'm super high right now

and I can't even really think straight.

And Darcy... we... we made out.

Thank your zenta!

Thank you.

And also, Bennet threw up on a throw pillow

that looks important and...

- Seriously?! - We got to go.

No, no, no, no, no. You're going home.

- Okay. - I'll handle this.

Okay. What are you... Oh.

What are you doing?

Calling the cavalry.

Elliott, hit 6.

Okay.

Go, cavalry.

Roman!

Roman!

It's Roman, right?

Hi. I'm Bennet Ayres. I love up on 10.

I have just a tiny, little, small problem.

I had people over who brought more people, and...

and my dad and stepmom are coming back early.

They'll be here in, like, an hour.

Okay, um... Come with me.

I'll open the freight elevator

and they can escape out the back and no one will see.

Oh, you are the best!

Oh, my God, thank you so much!

- Oh. Right this way. - Oh, wait. Yeah. No, I knew that! This way.

I weep for the future, honestly.

Attention! We have incoming parents...

these people are very litigious.

They will make your life a living hell

if you even look at this building

much less trash this apartment.

So, please, proceed to the nearest exit

in an orderly fashion, or so help me,

I will kick your ass.

Go.

Go!

- Yo! - Aah!

Watch it, asshole.

Huh?

What are you doing here?

Miss Ayres asked me for help.

If you'll all follow me this way,

I can take you in the freight elevator.

Come on. Keep it going.

Let's go.

Come on. Keep it moving.

"From the ashes of squalor rose a gleaming tower

that is a tribute to free commerce, upward mobility,

and the American Dream."

Winthrop?

She okay?

Tory can't see her like this.

She already has to deal with my dad.

As you well know.

I saw you guys at the party the other night.

I was just in the den cleaning up

and he came in and was startled.

You don't have to play dumb.

Your parents' problem is not your problem.

Sure.

We have to do something about her,

and I don't know what to do.

This will sober her up.

Here you go, Bennet.

Thank you.

Roman, I love you.

Did I say that out loud?

You gotta drink all of it, okay?

That is the most disgusting thing I have ever had.

What did you put in that? Tannis root?

It's a secret family recipe.

I'm gonna go check on the freight elevator

and make sure that your friends made it out okay.

Where's Alex and James?

This is so cool that you guys came to hang with us.

Oh, we're not hanging out with you.

We're cleaning up your mess.

And we have actual jobs that we would like to keep.

So we were never here. Okay?

Okay.

Sorry.

Fun party!

Thanks for having us!

Okay, you give your sister two antacids,

three glasses of water, and keep a trash can by the bed.

We gotta go.

You're back! How was the trip?

We're back: How do you think it went?

The car got a flat so your dad's calling Elon.

What's that smell?

What did I tell you about burning the Diptyque?

Display only.

Thank you so much for coming.

I feel so honored that you wanted to cleanse my space.

Well, I don't know if that worked, but I had a blast.

Um, oh, FYI, Tory Ayres' medicine cabinet

- tells a story. - Oh.

Well, bring the good caviar next time.

Maybe I will.

- Good night. - Good night.

- What? - Nothing! You tell me.

Nothing to tell.

Uh-huh.

Are you coming?

I'm actually gonna go get some air,

but do you need anything?

I'm good.

Here we go.

What?

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

No!

"My dearest Alistair, as I lay in my bed tonight,

I think of a world where we can always be together."

"Will the children that I care for now be mine?"

"Your jewel is ever safe.

I guard it with my life."

"Come back to me.

Do not send Otis again.

His words are poison in my ears."

"My dearest Alistair, winter has frozen the spot

you once lay in my bed.

Now I only ache for you in my... "

"Now I only ache for you in my sleepless nights."

Wow, this girl was hungry for it, huh?

This AG must have had some real skills.

"AG" was Alistair Greybourne.

There has to be a clue here somewhere.

I think you're wasting your time.

No, no, no, no, no. Listen. Okay.

"I was visited by Otis. He claimed to be sent by you

to execute a plan by your design...

but I fear his lies would destroy me first."

You know what? This is like those...

those cheap romance novels that my mom

used to buy at the drugstore when I was a kid.

You remember those?

Otis Winthrop III is the CEO of the Greybourne Corporation.

His father... or his grandfather...

is in these letters, maybe he killed Jocelyn?

Who's Jocelyn?

"J" is Jocelyn!

She's the nanny that jumped out the window in the attic and died!

She's the one that I saw in my dreams!

Look... listen...

"Otis says he will keep our treasure safe.

But his words are like ice, they melt after he is gone.

I want to take this precious jewel and run

but it will always be yours."

A precious jewel.

Maybe wherever Winthrop lived,

that's where the jewel is.

Yeah. Yeah, maybe.

You think this a joke?

No, I don't think it's a joke.

I just think you might be losing it a little bit, Len.

She knew about the ruby, maybe even had it!

So maybe Winthrop took it and killed her!

Okay, you know what this is? It's just a bunch of trash.

- No! - Okay? It's just a bunch of old papers

that you pulled out of Tory's desk

because she's a high-class hoarder, that's it.

It's not worth shit.

You know what?

I'm just gonna go in there and find this thing myself.

No, Scott, you won't.

You do that, and I will end this.

- Oh, you're gonna end this? - Yeah.

Yeah? What are you gonna do? Yeah?

I'll call your captain. How about that?

Yeah. Go ahead. Why don't you do that?

Maybe your mom could use some company up there at Plainview.

Wow.

Hey, look, I'm sorry...

Come on.

Hey, Len, come on. I didn't...

_

_

_

Thank you. Appreciate it.

- Hey, Bennet. - Hey.

This is for you.

Since you didn't really get to enjoy the party the other night.

Uh, this is so nice, Bennet.

Thank you.

Um... But I actually don't drink.

Oh, God.

I'm... I'm so sorry.

- Here, I'll... - No, it's okay.

Um, it's very kind of you.

Maybe we could, um, get some coffee sometime.

For sure!

Yeah. You know where I live.

I do.

- Hey! - Hi!

Thank you so much again for the help the other night.

I owe you one.

You're so welcome.

And I will keep that in mind.

Uh, you coming up?

Actually, I told Matthew I'd get his mail for him, so...

I can wait.

No, no, no, no, it's okay.

- Thank you, though. - Cool.

Front desk.

Do not send Otis again.

His words are poison in my ears.

In his hand, our treasure will turn to ash.

You cannot hide it away as you have hidden me.

This blessing is too beautiful to be contained.

Excuse me... what were you doing in the basement?

- I'm just doing my job. - Yeah, the job I got you.

Yeah... that apparently includes cleaning up

after drunk college kids.

They were supposed to be watching a movie.

Oh... with their parents outta town?

Come on, you know better than that.

You look good with a uniform.

Yeah, you think so?

Oh. Thank you for doing this.

I owe your father my life.

You know I'd do anything for you.

I'm so glad you're here.

Good afternoon, sir.

Rich people... just a barrel of laughs, huh?

I know that money doesn't buy you happiness,

but you'd think at least they'd smile more often.

Nah. Mr. Winthrop's only nice

- when his grandkids are around. - Winthrop?

Yeah. He grew up in the building.

Apparently his daughter lives in his old apartment

now with her family, the Chans.

The Chans?

Ginny works for the Chans.

That's gotta be where it is!
