Original subtitles

[narrator] Previously on Nova Vita.

[Simmons] The fact that Mr. Harper came back to Los Angeles

without your knowledge is disconcerting.

I hope this won't become a habit, Nixon.

You aren't whoever they told you you are.

You are actually me.

Why would we be lying to you?

Why would you, Adam?

What are you saying?

[laughing]

[chuckles] Jeez.

I couldn't keep a straight face.

You should've seen yours.

[Mark] The watch;there's a password inside it.

It'll give you access to all the cameras

in her old house.

The Vista Alarm System.

This is from Mark.

[West] He sent you a ring?

[Jessica] He did.

I mean, he left it for me. With his watchmaker.

[man] That woman that justleft, did you recognize her?

Wait, who is she?

This is her address.

Just hope I'm not betraying my friend's trust by giving it to you.

To new beginnings.

- Mm. - Alright?

- To the baby. - To the baby.

- Yes, to the baby. Cheers. - Cheers.

[Jessica]Carter wants to be in my life.

I think he knows something about Mark's death.

I just-- I can feel it.

[West]Yeah, but we can't prove it.

What if I let him come over and be in the house?

And why would you do that?

Because the place is covered in surveillance cameras

So I could record him and get him to talk.

[West]These people we're dealing with, there's some serious money.

And with that money comes serious resources and serious things to lose.

Please, be careful.

[laughing]

- That's terrible. - I know it's terrible.

That's the worst joke.

Oh... So did you find what you were looking for?

Who? Oh, me?

[chuckles] Yeah, you.

No. Not yet.

Well, when do we get to hear about Dave Harper's next adventure?

Uh...

When I'm ready... I will let you know.

He's a new man, a man of mystery.

[phone dialing]

[man on phone] Good morning, CM Partners.

Hi, um, can I speak to Carter Hayes, please?

And whom should I say is calling?

Yes, this is, um...

What am I doing?

Hey, sweetie.

Hi.

[sighs]

So, uh, how long you think

this remodel's gonna actually take?

Well, um, if you were a client, I'd say a few weeks.

- What if I were family? - A few weeks.

Sweet daughter. [chuckles]

And I just threw in the sweet daughter part to soften the blow.

- Got it. - To be honest with you, I--

Until we start hiring a crew or shall we get the crew officially hired,

and start the demo, I just can't give you a good timeline.

But Bicks' already picked out the men,

and I'll supervise, and this is my baby gift to you.

Besides, it's gets me out of your mother's hair for a while.

No, it's not like you guys fight.

Nah.

How about you and Mark, did you guys ever argue?

No. Uh, I wouldn't say we did.

[Dave] I wanna move.

- Are we gonna talk? - About what?

Moving to LA?

We shouldn't rush through this.

Let's just take our time, you know, think it through.

We can go travel, we could do anything that we want with our lives.

Anything.

I wanna move.

What's so wrong about this?

I mean, I can think of a...

About 100 things I don't like about Los Angeles.

Even if I'm there?

I feel you're drawing a line in the sand.

You're making me choose something, that isn't fair.

That's not what I'm doing.

I am just trying to live my life.

[Devon] Look, I, um...

I know you're still grieving and...

my hope was that us doing this little thing together

could, uh, could help a little.

It does.

Thank you.

Dave, you had a traumatic past few months.

I can't imagine what you've been through.

Exactly. So you should let me have this.

What about me?

I thought I was going to lose you.

This has been hard on me, too.

Let's start fresh.

This is fresh.

Vegas.

You haven't even given me a fair chance yet.

What can you possibly do in LA...

that you cannot do here?

I can't. I don't belong here.

I don't feel creative here. I...

I don't know how many more ways to tell you.

Then don't.

Go... if you have to go.

What about you?

I don't know.

I need time.

This is all being thrown at me.

[phone ringing]

[Simmons over phone] Any ideawhere he plans to settle in LA?

No, he didn't say.

Does this mean I'm done with my assignment?

Not yet.

I tried playing the loving wife.

He doesn't care.

He's on the verge of leaving me.

You are all he knows.

His only real connection.

Tell him that.

He's right.

This place does feel like a prison.

He said that?

No, he didn't use those words,

but that's what he meant.

Then for now... let him miss you.

Don't call or even text him.

I have to do something.

You do as you are told.

What are you gonna do?

Change his mind about Los Angeles.

Yeah.

Mr. Harper is coming back to Los Angeles.

With the wife?

Solo.

Someone must've gotten to him.

He hasn't been out of her sight for that long.

I'll run interference on him.

Just the small stuff.

Show him that Las Vegas is his new home now.

I'll have to getthe operators him.

What about Carter?

He can check that Mrs. Davis is not a factor

in Harper's decision to come back home.

End sunny.

Thank you, Nixon.

This is a good thing.

- Hm, putting dad to work? - [laughs]

No, keeping him out of my hair.

[soft chuckle]

[sighs] You know, I wanna help, too.

I wanna be a part of this.

- You are. - Let me plan your baby shower.

Oh, I think it's a little soon, don't you?

It never hurts to start planning too early.

And I promise I will not go overboard.

- OK, maybe just a little. - Right.

- [chuckles] - Right.

Um, sure. I guess.

Sweetie, this baby is coming whether you're ready or not.

Were you scared when you were pregnant with me?

No. I was so happy.

I never felt better in my life.

I didn't have any morning sickness.

- Lucky you. - Yeah, the other mothers hated me.

- [all laughing] - I mean, I had more energy, more drive.

And you-- Oh, my God,

you were having the time of your life in my belly.

[both chuckle]

I loved being pregnant.

I would've loved to have seen you back then.

Hm. Well, your father, now that's a different story.

He was the scared one.

Always saying I had to work harder.

Always saying I have to make more money.

He'd tell anyone and everyone who'd listen.

You were worried you couldn't provide for us, huh?

Yeah. All men are like that.

They just don't like to admit it.

I know this is not how you wanted to start a family.

Without Mark.

You are going to be an extraordinary mother.

You are so kind. And loving.

And you have so much strength.

I don't know where you get your strength.

From you, my God. From you.

You know you got your looks from me, right?

[giggles]

- Duh. - It's true.

[woman] Can I help you, sir?

[Dave] Hi.Yes, I'd like a room, please.

[woman] Do you have a reservation? [Dave] No, I don't.

[woman] OK, let me see.

I do have a penthouse suite available

at the rate of 1,850 a night.

Is that all you have?

Uh, afraid so.

OK. I'll take it.

[beeping]

[indistinct chattering]

[woman] Hm.

[beeping]

I'm sorry, your card was declined.

That's impossible. Can you try it again, please?

I ran it twice, I'm sorry.

I'm not too sure why.

Can try this one, please?

Mm-hm.

[beeping]

[woman] I'm sorry, it's declined.

Can I give you $200 right now,

and I'll go to the bank, get the rest?

No, I'm-I'm sorry, it's Sunday. That wouldn't help you.

Right.

Why is my bank account frozen?

Well, how long is that gonna take?

No, thank you.

Hey, baby.

You looking for a good time?

[music playing]

Someone here?

- Hey. - Sweet ride.

Thank you.

You might want to have your insurance guy on speed dial

if you plan on staying here for more than an hour.

Can I, um... Can I have a room for the night, please?

- The whole night? - Yes.

OK, that'll be, uh, hundred and... ten?

Plus, uh, any movie charges you incur in the room.

I'm not gonna watch any.

Yeah, that's what they all say.

[clears throat]

What do you plan on doing in the room all night?

Sleeping.

Ah, just do anything too kinky

or anything that makes me have to paint the walls.

I hate that shit.

Don't worry.

[doorbell ringing]

[Carter chuckles]

Surprise.

You don't have to keep buying the baby presents.

[chuckles] I know that I don't, but I probably still will.

How are you? How you feeling?

[Jessica] Mm... Fine.

I went to the doctor

and I-I find out the sex of the baby next week.

Wow. [chuckles]

That's pretty cool, right?

You got any guess or idea what you think it is?

Boy.

Yeah, I think it's a boy.

What's wrong?

This guy?

Too small?

Is he not gigantic enough? [chuckles]

How long you got that room for?

Oh, come on, we're not gonna bite you, sweetheart.

[woman laughs]

[Jessica] It just reminded me of...

when Mark was a boy.

He had a big stuffed giraffe and he'd carry it around

when his dad was out of town.

So it just made me think of that.

So your mom has been respectfully keeping me in the loop.

And she said you're still not getting out of the house very much. Right?

That's OK.

Just wanted to see if there's anything that I can do.

Mm-mm.

My dad started the baby wing, measuring anyway.

That's good.

[Jessica] I had a thought.

[Carter] What's your thought?

You told me that you and Mark

went out to the island to meet a man.

Mm-hm.

And you said that he could help you disappear.

With your passports and everything.

- Yeah. - Well, I thought if he didn't show up,

maybe he's the man who stole our money.

Uh-uh, I doubt it. Doesn't really make sense.

[footsteps]

[panting]

Oh, shit.

[Carter]I found a company called Nova Vita.

It means "new life."

You weren't whoever they told you.

You are actually me.

Apparently, they will change our hair, our face,

our voice, everything.

Complete plastic surgery.

Welcome to Nova Vita.

[man] Mark Davis had to die,

and probably in some way where there was no body.

You search for me and you're gonna see it.

And the reason why you can't remember anything

is because they erased your memory.

OK, it was part of an insurance plan,

so you wouldn't go back to your old life.

Goodbye, Mr. Harper.

[Jessica]Who found him, was it you or Mark?

It was Mark. Mark's the one that found him.

OK, well, then maybe he was able to get our accounts,

or our passwords or something.

[stutters] Is it possible, is that what you're asking me?

Sure, but it... it doesn't really make sense.

Are you ready?

[lock beeping]

This is not the whole file.

Where is he?

Who? The guy? I have no idea.

I just told you that Mark's the one who found him.

Hm.

I guess I just need to go through Mark's stuff

and see if I can find a number or something.

Yeah.

- What's his name? - Dexter.

Mm, ah...

No. Derek, I think.

I think it was Derek... yeah.

Yeah, pretty sure it was Derek.

I'm not sure.

But Derek sounds right.

OK.

[Carter]Let me take care of it for you.

- [Jessica] No. - [Carter]Please.

- [Jessica] No. - I need to. For myself, as well.

Figure all this out.

Let me ask around, see if I can find anything.

Alright.

Go get some sleep.

Goodnight.

- I'll see you soon. - Mm-hm.

[car doors beep]

Hello?

What the hell are you doing in here?

- [Jessica] What's his name? - [Carter]Dexter.

No. Derek, I think.

I think it was Derek... yeah.

- [Jessica] What's his name? - [Carter]Dexter.

No. Derek, I think.

I think it was Derek... yeah.

- [sighs] - [phone dialing]

Hey, how's the snooping going?

[Jessica] I think I got something.

[West] Well, that was quick.

I just-- can't stop thinking about the island.

Yeah, me too, actually.

I asked Carter who they went to go see.

- Oh, Mr. Fake ID? - Yeah.

And he mentioned that he remembered somebody named "Derek" or "Dexter."

- I think it was Dexter. - Why's that?

I just think he slipped.

That's some damn fine detective work right there.

- So what are you thinking? - Excuse me?

You said you were thinking about the island.

Yeah, just wondering why it's all such a mystery.

The pilots not being able to know too much.

Yeah, I-I think you should go talk to him.

I told you, I'm not allowed to get involved.

But now you got a name.

Hey, Jessica, I'm gonna have to call you back.

Good work.

[West] You Gibson?

Who are you?

My name is Agent West. I'm with the FBI.

I need to ask you a few questions.

- Now? - Is that a problem?

[grunts]

[groaning]

Sir, it's a go.

Yes, Mr. Harper is down for the count.

Looks like it's time to have some fun.

Pull him up.

Alright. A little bit.

Alright, OK. [grunts]

OK.

- OK, ready? - I'm ready.

OK, you ready?

- OK. - OK.

Dude!

What did I say about messing up our rooms?

What?

[man scoffs]

I'm not cleaning this up, you know.

I... I didn't do this.

Yeah, I mean...

You know, the hookers probably did most of it.

The what?

[mutters] Hookers?

[phone buzzing]

[message alert]

- [coughing] - [woman] Get off of her!

- Get off of her! - [screaming]

Get off her!

Hm...

[Gibson] I don't know about this.

A little late for that now.

You were pressuring me.

You ever have something eating away at you inside?

Something you just knew you had to do?

- No. - Good.

Now let's go find ourselves an island.

[knocking]

- Hey, you Bicks? - [Bicks] Yeah.

Dave Johnson.

One of your guys told me to come and see you for work.

Worked construction before?

- Yes, sir. - Let me see your hands.

Other side.

You don't look it.

Yeah, I get that. My father had a place up north.

I used to work with him every summer.

How long you been in LA?

Just a few weeks.

[sighs] What's your name again?

- Dave Johnson. - [laughs]

It's like the guy from Miami Vice.

I'm sorry, sir. I-I don't know.

Right.

If this helps, you can pay me whatever you think is fair.

You in trouble with the law?

No. No, sir.

Drugs or alcohol?

No, sir. Absolutely not.

You look like shit. Are you sure?

It's just, uh, a little fatigue.

Deal?

I'll think about it.

Sir.

I'm sorry.

My wife she just passed away a few weeks ago.

And my son, he's just a little boy.

OK, come on.

- I'll introduce you to the guys. - Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

Hey, guys.

How you doing?

- Just be clean, OK. - Of course.

No, wait a minute.

- Good morning, sir. - How you doing?

You bringing on new guys now?

Ah, just one.

Nice watch.

- Oh, that's just a fake, sir. - Yeah.

Let me make something clear;

this is my daughter Jessica's house,

so I'll be watching you.

Any missteps and you're gone.

I get it.

Good. Go ahead.

Thank you.

What the hell you doing?

What you trying to do, gouge me?

No. No, sir.

This guy really needs this job.

- It won't cost you any more. - Why's that?

[soft chuckle]

- [man whistles] New guy. - Yeah?

[man] Job is this way.

Yeah, um...

Sir, are you back again?

Guilty as charged.

[man] Gibson a suspect?

[West] So are you.

Relax, he's just taking me up on the Davis plane.

I don't have anything scheduled for today.

[West] Yeah, it's last minute. You know how these people are.

I'll have to call it in.

Gibson knows the airport's regulations.

Even for the federal government?

[man] I don't wanna lose my job.

[door shuts]

Come here for a second.

[whispering indistinct]

Let 'em through.

- I bet you're wondering what I said. - Yeah.

I told him if I didn't let us through I'd piss test him.

How'd you know he does drugs?

I played the odds.

Haven't you heard? Drugs are an epidemic.

[chuckles]

[Gibson] You're supposed to fly with two pilots on jets this size.

[West] Are they really that hard to fly?

[Gibson] No, it's in case something happens to me.

Shit, you're not gonna go dying on me are you?

Let's hope not.

Hey, Todd. [chuckles]

You still losing your ass on your Clippers?

[chuckles] I didn't know you were going up today, Gibson.

- Mrs. Davis called last minute. - Where you headed?

[Gibson] She wants me to take her out to that island

they flew to my last trip with their plane.

- [Todd] What island? - It's not in the charts.

I was hoping I could check out that last flight plan I filed on our return.

You know I can't give that to you.

[Gibson] Come on.

[West] How about now?

What's so important about this island?

I can't tell you that.

Top secret stuff.

No, I can't tell you that because....

I honestly don't know.

[Gibson] If anyone asks, you're a pilot.

[West] Copy that.

[Gibson] You sure, Mrs. Davis gave us permission?

This must be a serious felony otherwise.

Of course she did.

You just worry about not crashing this thing, OK.

You don't like to fly?

It's not exactly on the top of my list.

You can sit in back like most people.

No chance. I'm keeping my eye one you,

make sure you don't go passing out on me.

Tower.

This is N-48121, requesting clearance for takeoff.

[man on radio] You are cleared,N-48121, have a safe flight.

Make sure you get the tape on the top

all along the edge.

Um, hey, boss, you mind if I use the restroom?

Yeah, we go one outside.

- Outside? - Is that a problem?

No, no. Not at all.

- I'll be right back. - OK.

Thank you.

How long has the car been there?

[woman] Five hours.

[man] What about his phone?

- Still in the car. - OK.

He can't stay off the grid for long.

- Keep your eyes on the car. - Understood.

[birds chirping]

[Mark] You're so beautiful.

[woman] She wants to call it off. She's really upset.

What? Hold on, where is she?

Upstairs.

[Lisa]Mark, you can't see the bride

before she walks down the aisle, it's bad luck.

Lisa, Jessica's about to be my wife.

OK, her and I are gonna have to work out problems together for the rest of our lives.

If I can't help her here, what good am I gonna be

a year from now, ten years from now?

I promise, I'm not--I will not look at her dress.

Just like I promise to always take care of her.

[knocking on door]

Yeah?

It's me.

Oh, my God! What are you doing?

No, no.

You're not supposed to see me, you better not.

I know. OK.

Alice says you wanna call it off?

She wasn't supposed to say anything.

Oh...

It's gonna be kinda obvious

when only one of us is standing up at the altar.

Oh, God. Baby, I love you, I just-- I don't know.

I... I don't know what to think right now, I'm just scared.

I know.

But you got... you got it all wrong, Jess.

It's-it's me who's under all the pressure.

What do you mean?

I mean... I got a confession to make.

What did you not tell me?

This whole thing, um, it scares the hell out of me, too.

It does, I know we're gonna be standing there,

and everyone's just gonna bestaring at my back,

just thinking one thing.

What?

She's so beautiful.

Look at her, she's so beautiful in that dress,

she's just like perfection.

And he's...

He's nice.

[laughs]

[Mark] Yeah.

And I'm only gonna be thinking one thing, like,

"How the hell did I get so lucky?"

You know, "How did I ever get you to say yes?"

I love you.

I love you.

Jessica, your wife, my wife.

She was the love of my life.

We went through good times and bad,

and she was the backbone of my life.

I remember the day of our wedding.

Happiest day of my life.

I didn't just find her,

and I wasn't just married to her.

I found meaning for my whole life.

She was the one personthat would always be thereif the world turned against me.

When the world turned against me.

She's the womanI could live a happy life with.

No. Not working.

Come on, remember.

There's a safe behind that painting.

What are you doing in here?
