["Can't Get No Bud"
by the Green Leafs playing]
Money in my pocket
But I just can't get no bud
Oh, no
Money in my pocket
But I just can't get no bud
Oh, no
I'm looking for
The four to the two
To the oh, oh, oh
Calling everybody but
They won't pick up the phone
Oh, no
Calling everybody but
They won't pick up the phone
Oh, no
No one answering the phone
I guess I'm on my own
I'm searching, seeking
For the sticky
But no one home
Don't know why I cry
Or why I feel so bad
'Cause I'm looking down
Ain't nothing in my bag
I feel alone without my
Marriage almost all the time
Forget about though, cool
Yeah, I'll be fine
I'm feelin' low myself
Stuck on this dry spell
Trying to feed the crime till
But no one got
The good to sell
Got me searching on the block
Sold the guy the somber bud
Only want that purple, man
No one got the sugar stock...
[siren wailing]
[music fades]
[horn honks]
[man groans]
Hey, please, help my friend!
He's dying! Please!
-Put your hands in the air!
-Let's go! Let's go!
Get down on the ground!
Look, you can arrest me!
Just someone please
help my friend!
-My friend got shot!
-Get down on the ground!
[door opens]
So do I get to make
a phone call?
First of all, why don't you
tell me why you're innocent?
My friend was shot.
If I wasn't driving fast,
he could have died.
Is he okay?
Can I make a phone call now?
Yeah, he's fine.
DA is questioning him.
Right now,
you need to worry about you.
I needed to save my friend,
so I drove fast.
You think I'm investigating
a high-speed chase
for ten blocks?
When do I get the phone call?
Well, I'm trying
to figure out why
you are on a high-priority-
pickup list with the FBI.
Now, they can hold you
for 24 hours, so no phone call.
-For what?
-I don't know.
But it looks like
you have pending charges
with the DEA and the FBI.
There's something big going on,
and you're part of it.
What are you talking about?
For one, I'm talking
about the dead guy.
You just said Joseph was fine.
The dead guy on your front lawn.
Who? Jared?
Do you know Jared?
Uh, because he's--
He's in the other room.
He's got a lot to say about you.
But then, maybe you've got
some things to say about him.
Look, I know nothing
about nobody,
and I don't have shit
to do with Jared.
All right. Here we go.
Is this some type
of tape recorder?
-I'm not a snitch.
-Yeah.
My officer took this
at your house,
then he got kicked off
the crime scene by the DEA.
Why do you think
I know this guy?
Look, you are about to be
dragged into whatever it is
Jared is involved in.
Okay, I don't know
what Jared is into.
I don't think he's a bad guy.
He's just stupid.
[scoffs] Yeah, I'm trying
to help you here.
Uh, all of your charges
are attached to Jared.
If he goes down, you go down.
Like I said,
I don't know anything.
I didn't do anything.
What--? Look, I--
Why are you protecting him? Huh?
You don't owe Jared, do you?
What's your relationship to him?
You'd better start talking.
I met Jared in high school.
You know...
Back then,
my life was so shitty.
[man from inside] Oh, shit.
[woman] You've been telling me
that you are gonna fix
this remote for a week now.
[door closes]
[door opens, then slams]
Hey, Andrew. How was your day?
[Andrew] How was
your day with Mike?
[sighs]
[motor splutters]
I thought he was
supposed to fix that.
Well, yeah,
he was supposed to fix it,
but he said he'd get to it.
Isn't that what all men say?
Real men do what they say.
-What's for--?
-Hey, no! Oh--
[chuckling] Oh, you jerk. No.
-Gosh.
-I'll help you fix
that later, Mom.
Thanks, Andrew.
[mutters indistinctly]
Hey, Mom, can you
hand me the Allen wrench?
Okay. Uh... is it
the twisty thing?
[chuckles]
No, it's the, uh...
Hey, hey, I got a new remote.
[chuckles]
[Andrew] Did it come
with a bear?
Give me a break.
I'm apologizing.
With a bear and a remote?
Come on, help me out here.
It's okay, Andrew.
I like... bears.
Okay, you wanna get out of here?
I'll buy you a steak.
All right.
Just give me a minute.
Good. I'll program this,
make a call, then we'll go.
Okay.
Hey, what's up?
-Yeah, man. What do you need?
-When can we get together?
[Mike] Mm.
[mom] We'll be back
in about an hour, okay?
All right.
Yeah. You know I can.
All right, brother. Later.
Yo, Keezie!
What's up, man?
Hey, man,
you remember that cat Adam?
-The rocker guy?
-Yeah.
I gotta roll, but, uh,
he's coming over.
So, uh, make sure you, uh,
talk to him when he gets here.
-All right.
-Thank you very much.
No problem, man.
[man] Yo, knock, knock.
[Andrew] Hey, come in.
Is Mike here?
He's just grabbing some food.
He'll be back here soon.
Okay.
[Andrew] You can wait
here if you want.
All right.
Want a beer?
I feel like I should say yes.
Good call.
You should trust that.
-Thanks, man.
-Yeah, no problem.
-You're Andrew, right?
-Yeah.
-I'm Jared.
-Nice to meet you.
Yeah. What do we got here,
a busted disposal?
Yeah, I'm working on it
right now, but it won't spin.
Do it later, man.
We got beers to drink.
Oh, speak of the little devil.
How long you been here?
I just got here, but I've been,
uh, chilling with Andrew.
All right.
I was thinking about
hanging out with Joseph.
Okay, but just
don't be too late.
[Mike] Where's the remote?
You guys seen the remote?
[Mike sighs]
[Andrew] All right,
I'll see you later.
Oh, and don't use
the broken side of the sink.
[giggling]
-Let's go do something, Joseph.
-No. No way. What's up?
Dude, whatever, man.
I'm too busy.
[Andrew] You got chocolate
on your teeth, man. Let's go.
-I do. You want a bite?
-Yeah, sure.
-Dude, let's go.
-Okay.
Let's go.
-Hurry up.
-Okay.
Dude, you coming or not?
Let's go.
[upbeat rock music playing]
[Joseph] Dude! Don't touch that.
[Andrew] Hey,
car coming, watch out!
[Joseph] Oh, what's up?
[Joseph] Hey, man,
where we going?
[Andrew & Joseph
speaking indistinctly]
[Joseph] What are we doing?
Dude, why are we watching
boring people watch boring shit
in their boring house?
[spectators cheering on TV]
-[Andrew] Got it.
-[Joseph] Got what?
[Andrew] What do you
wanna watch?
[laughs]
Look at that.
-Are you sitting on the remote?
-No, I am not. It's right there.
-[Andrew] Do it one more time.
-Dude, do it one more time.
[both laughing]
[Joseph] Oh,
they have no clue at all.
-[woman] What is going on?
-Dad, there's someone
in the window.
-[girl laughs]
-[woman] What?
[Joseph] We gotta go!
Andrew! Come on.
-Andrew! Andrew, we gotta go!
-Go.
-Hey! Hey, hold it right there.
-[Joseph] Come on.
[man] Get back here!
I'm calling the police!
[Andrew & Joseph laughing]
Did you see her dad?
He was all like,
"Get back here, you shitheads!"
Yeah, he was. He was like,
"Hey, get back here!" [laughs]
-Hey.
-What?
-What does this look like?
-I don't know, Joseph. [laughs]
[siren wails]
[Andrew] Oh, Jesus.
Are you boys having a good time?
Yeah. Actually, we kind of are.
[officer] All right,
let's go for a ride.
[Joseph] Yo,
let's get out of here.
[Andrew laughing]
[upbeat rock music continues]
[indistinct radio chatter]
Hey!
-What's going on
in the parking lot?
-We're so busted if we're seen.
-Okay.
-After this car. Go.
Hurry up, Joseph.
Shut it, shut it.
[music stops]
Shh.
-[Joseph] Meow.
-[Andrew] Dude.
[woman] Kitty?
-Meow.
-[woman] Kitty?
-[Joseph] Meow.
-[Andrew] Boo!
[shrieks]
Dude, we gotta go.
[woman] Damn you!
[Andrew] It's all right.
[footsteps retreat]
What if he's hurt somewhere,
or he's lost, or what if--?
What if something
happened to him?
Lauren, I'm sure he's fine.
Andrew!
Oh, my God, Andrew.
[Mike] Where were you?
Answer me.
I was out.
Out? [sighs] Your mother
was worried sick.
Andrew, where were you?
I fell asleep
in a newspaper bin.
A newspaper bin. How convenient.
Well, did you read
while you were there?
Like, how to be
a respectful son?
Andrew, what's going on?
Lauren, he's not gonna change
unless you do something drastic.
I mean, when I was his age,
my mother kicked me out.
Best thing ever happened to me.
[scoffs]
You disrespectful ass-wipe.
-You're a disrespectful
display of humanity!
-Okay. Okay, no, stop it.
Stop. Stop. Please.
Andrew.
Maybe he's right.
You know what?
Something's gotta change.
You're-- You don't have
any ambition to graduate,
and you're just
missing school...
You just have to find out
what life's about.
Fine. I'm out of here.
Thanks, Mom.
-Andrew, I'm s--
-No.
Oh, my God. Thank you.
[woman] Pervert.
-One?
-Uno.
Right this way.
[Jared] Oh, wait. Hold up.
Hey. Little man.
From Mike's place.
What's with the down face?
What's with the bag, dude?
You look like a bum. [chuckles]
Yeah, well, I am.
Oh, yeah?
Aren't you living with your mom?
[Andrew] Would I be
a bum if I was?
Hold-- Hold up, hold, hold--
Hold up, little man.
Listen. Listen. Sorry.
I got a-- I got a room
at my house.
If you wanna stay there, it's...
You can.
How much is rent?
I don't have a job.
I know, man, but, uh,
we can work all that out. Uh...
Why are you trying to help me?
I don't know, man. Just, uh...
Don't tell anybody, but, uh,
I'm trying to be
a better person.
Right? But I do have
one rule, though, man.
Don't tell anyone
that you're living at my house.
Got it?
So-- And you wouldn't have been
in here if you weren't hungry,
so, like, uh,
let's go feed your face.
-All right?
-All right.
[Jared] Come on, man.
Welcome home. [chuckles]
Well, she needs a good cleaning,
but, uh, if you can make her
look respectable, you can stay.
Bathroom's down the hall.
See that room
right across the way over there?
Stay the hell out of it.
[chuckles]
[Andrew] You have any extra,
like, cleaning shit?
You know, maybe
a garbage bag or something?
Eh... no!
[Jared chuckles]
You're all moved in.
Let's go meet
some of my buddies.
-All right.
-Come on.
Wait. Hold up.
Hey, dude,
if I told you that, uh,
every once in a while,
I sell pot,
would it, uh, freak you out?
-I don't think so.
-Good.
'Cause I sell pot
Every once in a while.
-Cool.
-Right on.
So you want a little, uh,
smoke-a, smoke-a?
Well, I've... never...
Never actually smoked.
What?
Well, I've smelt it,
but it was gone
by the time my turn came.
-Oh.
-Yeah.
Well, it's time for your turn
to come again.
[both chuckle]
-It's about time.
-[Jared] Aw. What's up, brother?
-Where you been?
-On the move, sucker.
-Where you been?
-I've just been waiting here
-for your ass.
-Aw, sorry, man.
I got a little sidetracked
with my new roommate, Andrew.
What's going on, guys?
Andrew's never
smoked weed before.
He would have,
except it was always gone
when it came his turn.
Yeah, I remember my first time.
I didn't even get high.
But Jared's weed?
Now, that shit works.
That's nap time.
-It's just pot, right?
-Grown from the earth, homie.
Here, let me show you
how it's done.
Um, I'm actually good for now.
I'm just gonna go
-to a friend's house.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-All right, well, hey.
Oh, I have no money.
Dude, you're my little homie
now, all right?
-Roommates.
-All right, man. Thanks.
All right, don't forget to chow
that if you get pulled over.
[Andrew] All right, I will.
See you.
All right. Take care, brother.
Skipping me?
-What was your question?
-How do you know Jared?
Before I graduated, I stayed
at his house for a month.
Why so short?
Tiffany.
All right, who's Tiffany?
She's the love of my life.
Why's my sister looking for you?
Your sister? I don't know.
-[Joseph] I'll go get her.
-Wait.
-[Joseph] I'll go get her, okay?
-[Andrew] Wait.
[Joseph] Hey, Lace. He's here.
What's up, you little shit?
Wait. It smells
like weed in here.
Right?
Yeah, it does smell like pot.
Are you stoned?
No.
Since when did you
start smoking, anyways?
Since I moved out
of my mom's house.
Wait, what?
Yeah, I got kicked out because
I didn't come home last night.
-Oh. Where are you staying now?
-Does it matter?
Let's go ask my mom
if you can
-move in or something.
-I got a place, okay?
[Joseph] Wait, you got
your own room?
Yeah, but it's empty.
I need stuff.
Do you have any extra,
like, blankets or towels?
You know, any stuff
you rich kids have?
-I'll trade you.
-[Joseph] Uh... Wow.
Wait. Mike?
Is he helping you?
I thought he hated you.
Oh, I don't think he knows.
[Lace] Look, I--
I just called Tiffany.
She's on her way over.
She wants to talk to you.
[Tiffany] You little shit.
It was you changing
my dad's TV channel.
[Andrew] Does he know it was me?
-Not yet.
-What does that mean?
I haven't told him yet.
Look, hey. How about Andrew
helps you fix your car stereo?
I mean, he's a great
fixer guy, right?
Yeah, let me fix your car.
Please?
-Come on. Come on, let's go.
-Come on.
-Okay. See you later.
-Bye.
-[Andrew] Very nice car.
-Yeah, it doesn't work.
It hasn't for a while.
Do you have a lighter
or anything?
Yeah, the middle--
The armrest thing.
[Andrew] Yeah.
[lighter clicking]
[object scrapes]
-What, you think it's a penny?
-[grunts]
Dude, forget about it.
Never mind. I'll just take it
somewhere else, all right?
Okay, okay. Give me one second.
Yeah, it's just a fuse.
That's easy.
All right, $5 and I think
your stereo will work.
-I'll be back.
-Okay.
Well, well, Andrew.
It's been a while.
-How you doing?
-Things are good.
-Aisle 10 in the middle.
-Thanks.
Hey, the tool man called,
and he warranted
that tool you left with me.
He was also wondering if
you'd sell your dad's old tools.
I don't wanna sell
my dad's tools.
I don't blame you. [chuckles]
Is there anything else?
Be $3.12.
-There you go.
-Cool.
Oh, and, uh,
tell your mom hi for me.
You'll be hearing from her soon.
Broken disposal. See you.
[clerk] See you. Take care.
All right, you gotta get out,
because I'm about to get
all up in that dash.
Okay, crazy.
[Andrew chuckles]
All right,
let's see if this works.
Just a quick switcheroo.
[static crackling on radio]
-What do you wanna listen to?
-You choose.
[tender pop music
playing on radio]
-Thanks.
-Yeah.
-You got that light?
-Yeah.
Here, I got you.
-Look at the road.
-Thanks.
Good. Thanks.
Dude, driving without music
has been driving me
batshit crazy.
Instead of throwing your
cigarette butts out the window,
just place them in here,
and I promise you
it won't stink up your car.
Just shut the lid.
Okay.
It's better than throwing
them out the window.
[mutters indistinctly]
-Cool.
-Don't be mean.
You're being mean to me.
[music stops]
-Okay, well, I'll see you later.
-When later?
Um, what are you doing tonight?
I don't know.
-[Jared] Hey.
-Hey, what's going on?
[Jared] Come on in.
[Andrew] Those pants
are pretty spliff, man.
[spacey electronic dance music
playing on speakers]
I know this is hard to believe,
but I don't always
get my homework done.
Why isn't it done yet?
-Here.
-Okay, I'll make you a deal.
Um, you be a good boy
and do your homework,
and I'll give you a kiss.
You kidding me? Deal.
[Tiffany chuckles]
You guys are getting a whole lot
of something done in here.
You guys doing homework?
Yeah.
So, what's up?
[grunts]
You know,
just having a great night.
Can I level with you?
I'm on some of the best Molly
I've ever had.
-What is that?
-[Jared chuckles]
You guys are probably too young.
-[Andrew] No, you think?
-Beers?
[Tiffany] Thanks.
Yeah, man, it's good shit.
Mm. Wanna try some?
What kind is it?
It's the extra-specially
yummy kind.
Hey, come on.
We gotta finish this homework.
Promise it won't hurt me?
[Jared laughs]
You will be fine. [giggles]
Wait, no, hold on.
The fuck is Molly?
Ah? Ah?
Okay, I'll try it.
[Jared] Right on. There you go.
Tiffany, do you even know
what you just ate?
-No, but I've heard about it.
-Living life.
Come on, just take it with me.
Come on.
[Jared whoops]
[Tiffany chuckles]
[Jared laughs]
All right.
You guys have an extra-specially
delicious kind of a night.
We're down here.
You know, there's a party?
-[clicks tongue]
-[door closes]
-Let's go.
-What?
Come on. Let's go have some fun.
Let's get out of here.
[spacey electronic
dance music continues]
[inaudible dialogue]
[music fades]
Andrew, you're not telling me
what I wanna hear.
What do you wanna hear?
[recorder beeps]
Jared is not in the next room.
He's in ICU.
He's unconscious but stable.
What happened to him?
Is he okay?
He'll be fine.
Look, if you want me
to help you,
you gotta tell me
your true story.
[knock on door, then door opens]
Hey, Jared let me in.
-Tiffany, hey.
-Can I talk to you?
I've been trying to call you.
It's been like a month.
Why have you been avoiding me?
Well, things got out
of control that night,
and I guess I just had to deal
with the consequences.
What's wrong?
What's wrong, Tiffany?
I'm pregnant.
Wow.
My dad wants me
to get an abortion.
What, your dad knows?
Yeah, I took a pregnancy test,
and my mom found it
in the trash.
I should've just told you.
It's mine?
Yeah, no question about that.
I knew it was a bad idea. Shit.
So, what's the plan?
For you? Um, nothing.
You don't have to do anything.
Well, what are you gonna do?
Well, I've been
thinking about it,
and I think that
I'm gonna put off college
and raise it.
I'm with you.
I mean, if you want me to,
I can help raise the kid.
If you're serious...
I need the help.
-Okay.
-I don't know what to do.
Come here.
[knocking on door]
[Andrew] Jared's house
was not a good place
for Tiffany to be pregnant.
[Andrew] Hi, Mom.
[Lauren] Oh, Andrew.
Gosh, where have you been?
It's been a month. A month.
What--? Where have you been?
What's been going on?
I-- I'm-- I'm sorry.
I'm just so upset.
I haven't heard from him
for a whole month.
I've just been so worried.
Yeah, if my kid did that to me,
I'd whoop him.
Well, if you want a real reason
for whooping me...
Mom, this is Tiffany,
and we're having a kid together.
And we kind of need
to move in here.
Oh, my gosh, Andrew.
I gotta go sit down.
What are you gonna do
about this baby?
Tiffany's dad wants her
to get an abortion.
Tiffany, come in here. Come on.
Honey, is that what
you want to do?
No.
Um, but I'm afraid to go home.
-Oh, it's okay.
-My dad wants to go in today.
How old are you?
Nineteen.
Well, then,
it's not his decision.
There's no way
I'd let that happen.
No way.
It's gonna be okay.
[Lauren] Mike moved out.
You kids are gonna move in here.
You'd just take me in?
Tiffany, are you a good eater?
Because no grandkid of mine is
gonna eat that processed crap.
I could eat better.
[Andrew] What about you, Mom?
You haven't eaten anything.
What's wrong?
If I do chemo now,
I have a better chance
of surviving the cancer.
Were you even gonna tell me?
How long have you known this?
How could I tell you, Andrew?
You haven't even been here.
Well, let me guess.
Broken disposal.
[Lauren] Hi, Brian. How are you?
-I'm holding on.
-Good.
[Brian] But I should
just let go.
[Lauren] Oh, quit it.
-Well, come on.
-Yes.
Let's take a look
at what we have in stock.
Hey, do you remember when
we took that bus to Washington
and got the NEPA Act passed?
-I do. Oh, my gosh.
-[Brian laughs]
And the toilet overflooded
on the bus.
And I remember that Mark
actually was with us that time
because he is the one who put
that disposal in our place.
Really? You know, I wish
I could sell you a disposal
as good as that one,
but everything built
today is disposable.
Oh, gosh. Well, he used to fix
them. Is he still in business?
-Not anymore.
-Gosh.
Why don't you start fixing them?
Well, everything is just
designed to be nonserviceable.
Well, are you looking
for any help right now?
'Cause I'm handy.
Well, I'm always
looking for help.
Uh, but it'd just be
labor around here,
-whatever needs to be done.
-I'll take any work.
-When could you start?
-Uh, after school tomorrow?
That will work. Let's go.
[Lauren coughing
from other room]
[coughing]
What's going on? Whoa, Mom.
A little wake and bake, huh?
Since when do you smoke?
Let me see that.
Um, this is not good
at all, Mom.
I'm so sorry, but it's terrible.
Well, it's better than
that pharmaceutical stuff
that the FDA gets me.
Well, hey, I can grow you some
better shit in the backyard.
At least we'd know
-where it'd come from.
-I think it's time that I
showed you something.
Your dad spent a lot
of time in here.
-[Andrew] Whoa.
-[Lauren] I know.
How did I never find this place?
What is this stuff?
Well, all of this
was your dad's hobby.
[Andrew] Did you look
through this?
There might be clues
-of what happened to him.
-I did. And so did Brian.
Brian came over and we
looked through everything.
We couldn't find anything.
It was just gone.
Way before his time.
He actually grew
some really good stuff.
Yeah.
But don't tell
anybody about this.
-Just keep it on the down-low.
-Yeah, okay.
We don't want anybody
to know this is in our home.
Wow.
That's cool.
We should use this place.
[knocking on door]
You stay put.
Special Agent Swanson, FBI.
I'll be taking over
for the murder side
of this investigation.
So you got warrants
for Andrew and Jared?
Jared, yes. Andrew, we didn't
have his name until now.
Let me be clear.
I need you to write up
the high-speed chase
and the assault-on-
the-officer charges.
We'll handle the rest.
Now, can you have those charges
filed by morning?
-What's the rush?
-Andrew has court tomorrow
for assault on one
of your officers.
-One of my officers?
-Eleven months ago.
Look, if you don't know
what's happening in your own
department, then step aside.
We'll get it done.
Hold on, he just walked in.
Andrew, it's Tiffany.
-Tiff?
-Yo, what happened
to the debit card?
I know. The bank line was
out the door this morning.
What? You said
it would work for $30.
It's so embarrassing
to be declined.
Can you come by here
and get some money?
No. I have a job too, remember?
Listen, your mom has
a doctor's appointment at 5,
so I'm gonna be by at 4
to give you the car
and Jace, okay?
Okay. I'll see you tonight.
I'm sorry.
I love you.
-Did you find everything okay?
-[woman] Yeah.
-Do you guys price-match
from the Internet?
-[Brian] Well, as best we can.
Uh, Andrew, can you go back
and help Jordan unload
-that, uh, pallet in back?
-Yeah, sure thing.
-What's up, Jordan?
-Oh, nothing much.
Just ready to get
off work, dude.
-I don't wanna hear it
from you, part-timer.
-Hey, you know what?
Part-time and being single
is just another perk
of living at home with Mom.
I still live at my mom's house,
but I wouldn't know.
Don't be jealous, but I use
my whole paycheck to buy weed.
Oh, yeah? Don't be jealous,
but I use my whole paycheck
to pay for last month's bills.
You wanna sell me a J?
Sure. Why not?
And there, my friend,
is a beautiful, good joint.
[Andrew] Thanks, bro.
You're a lifesaver.
-No problem. See you tomorrow.
-See you.
-[Jace crying]
-You too.
Hey, I'm sorry about the check.
Hey, buddy. Hey.
Two auto-pay bills
bounced today.
-That alone is $50 in late fees.
-I should have missed the bus,
then, but shit,
if I was late to work again,
I might not have this job.
So I mean, really,
-what do you want me to do?
-Whatever. Just take me to work,
get your mom
to her doctor's appointment.
-We'll talk about it tonight.
-Okay.
[horn honks]
What did you do?
Did you hang out with Mom?
Did you guys go to the store?
-You're late.
-I know.
[siren wailing]
Oh, gosh, what--?
What's going on here?
[Andrew] Hey,
you got me boxed in.
I need to be going.
Can you please let me out?
-It'll be just a moment.
Wait in your car, sir.
-No big deal.
You know what? I'm gonna let you
off with a warning this time.
-What's up, man?
-Hey, what up?
-[officer] What's going on?
-[Andrew] What is this bullshit?
[Lauren groans]
[officers speaking indistinctly]
-Hey.
-Hey, bro.
Can you move that car now?
Seriously, I really gotta go.
Sir, I asked for your patience.
I'll move the car
as soon as I'm done.
So, dude, check this out.
I pulled over the senator
the other night coming
home from a party...
[officers speaking indistinctly]
[Andrew] No,
they're just bullshitting.
-Seriously.
-[Jace crying]
[Lauren] Oh, it's okay.
It's okay.
Fuck him!
Oh, my God, Andrew.
Where are you--?
Where are you going?
Saw you on the street
and just thought I'd drop by.
Yeah.
So, what time
are you off at, man?
Uh, just a little bit.
[engine starts]
[officer] Hey, yo, yo!
Stop, stop!
["Pure Evil"
by Atmosphere playing]
-Get out of the car. Get out.
-[Andrew] I'm just moving it.
-I was just moving the car.
-Put your hands
behind your head.
[Lauren] Oh, my God,
that's my son!
Just shut up
and get back in the car.
-[Lauren] No. That's my son!
-Get on the ground.
-Fuck.
-[Lauren] You're hurting him.
Well, what do we got here?
Little contraband, huh?
Let's get him in the car.
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
This is pure evil
This is pure evil
When I woke up this morning
My only intention
Was to look at my reflection
With mutual respect, yeah
I know I'm more than just
A badge and a weapon, but...
[music fades]
Shit, my boy Andrew.
Give me a second.
Keezie.
[Keezie] Who'd you piss off?
The cop said I stole his car,
but I was just moving it.
You stole a cop car,
and that's all you got?
What are your charges?
Well, I had some pot on me,
I got vehicle theft,
destruction of police property.
But what I don't get is
assault of a police officer.
Look at this. He beat my ass.
My mom even seen it.
Oh, boy, you in trouble.
What you been up to
since you left Jared's?
[groans]
Kid, my mom
is real sick, work...
Mostly work.
So I've been dealing
with all that.
-Why are you here?
-Pfft.
Two hundred OxyContins.
And when they saw your boys
from the ministry,
they booked me
for distribution again.
Again? That sucks.
[Keezie] Right?
And 2500 bucks gone.
And now they got your boy
back "in the system."
[Andrew] The system?
Why don't you just
get your money back?
Fuck the cash.
It ain't even mine.
But you know the system.
Once you in, you in.
I guess I'll find out
what you mean.
Right, but I'll be out
in the world soon.
I got my lawyer coming.
He better be coming quick.
Good for you, man.
Hey, it's all part of the plan.
Jared takes care of me.
Jared? Make sure
you tell him I say what up.
-[Keezie] I got you.
-Thanks.
Hold up,
I'm gonna use the phone.
[Keezie] Sure.
All right, you guys
got 15 minutes left
of community time.
[cell phone buzzing]
Hello?
Yes, I'll take the call.
Andrew's on the phone.
Oh. Just tell him
I'm gonna kill him.
Andrew, how could you do this?
-Two felonies in a cop car?
-Just so...
Are you serious?
Here, you talk.
Andrew, what are you thinking?
I know, I screwed up royally.
I lost my temper. I'm sorry.
But I need you right now.
Did you make it
to your appointment?
Yeah, I got there.
But they won't know
any results for a few days.
It's gonna cost 1500 bucks
just to get you out of there.
And then there's lawyer costs,
and there's court fees, and--
What the hell were you thinking?
Okay, let me talk. Andrew.
Andrew, okay,
I'm really mad at you right now,
but we're gonna--
I'm gonna try and see if there's
any other option, okay?
Will you come visit me?
Of course I will.
And listen,
I was talking to Brian,
and he might go
out of business soon,
so I would start looking
for another job.
I'm sorry.
Here, talk to your son.
Here, do you wanna talk
to Daddy? Listen.
-Daddy's on the phone.
-Hey, buddy.
Hey, come get me out of here.
[coos]
[Lauren laughs]
I miss you.
I love you so much.
All right. I gotta go, Tiff.
I'm running out
of phone minutes.
I hope to call you soon,
though. Bye.
You know, I think I'd like
to know what else is going on
outside of this case.
This is a cartel phone
from Andrew's pocket.
The microphone and tracking
have been modified.
We also have him
here in Colorado.
Now, this will be all we need
to press charges against him.
I don't think this will stick.
It, uh, sounds like it was
a true emergency situation.
It won't matter.
All we need to do is
paint a picture for the judge.
Andrew is a bigger player
than what we thought.
Now, I'm gonna be creative
and connect him
to organized crime.
Lieutenant,
just let us do our job.
I wanna know why you were here.
Is this where I say
I need a lawyer?
You are about to be buried
in some real deep shit.
[detective sighs]
[Keezie] You sure?
I'll do that.
Yo, Andrew.
Jared could use your help.
Three weeks out of town,
a thousand a week.
Plus, he'll cover your lawyer
if he can get you out.
We leave tomorrow.
-If he can get you out,
are you down?
-I just lost my job.
-Three thousand dollars
is just what I need.
-I hope to hear from you, man.
-Be safe, man.
-You too.
[Jared] Yeah!
-Get in.
-What is going on, my man?
Dude, this is what's
going on, right here.
-Just like that, you're free.
-Yeah. Let's get out of here.
Dude.
Four a.m. tomorrow morning,
man, we're out.
Could you maybe
spot me anything?
Psh. Sure, man.
How much you need?
-Half?
-Yeah.
Right on, brother.
Count out 1500.
-Here, uh--
-[Andrew] Oh.
I'm actually here.
Thank you so much.
-Yeah, man.
-Ciao, dude.
I'll be here
to pick you up 4:00.
Cool.
-[Tiffany] Oh, my God!
-Hi.
What are you doing
back so soon?
-Andrew! Oh, my gosh.
-Oh...
-[Lauren] I'm so glad
you're here.
-Hey, buddy.
-[Tiffany] Hi. Daddy's home.
-[Andrew] I missed you. Hi.
So tell me, what was
the most awkward part of jail?
-Really? Come on.
-[laughs]
[Tiffany] Did you even
sleep in there?
No, I was too busy
becoming a thug.
-[Tiffany] Oh, okay. [laughs]
-Yeah, a thug is right.
-Gosh, do you realize
what you put us through?
-I know, Mom. I'm sorry.
So how'd you get out?
You know, we called,
and the bail was way pricey.
[Jace crying]
-Well, I have to earn it.
-[Tiffany] What?
I leave in the morning for work.
-What work?
-I'll tell you later.
I'm exhausted.
Oh. Well, I can take a hint.
-Come on, let's go nappies.
-[Tiffany] He needs a nap.
-[Lauren] Aw.
-[Tiffany] Thanks.
Bye, buddy.
Andrew, what work?
It's a work program.
Don't worry about it.
Andrew, you left me
here by myself
to take care of Jace,
the bills, and your mom.
I know. I'm sorry. Come here.
Listen, I know it looks bad,
but I know we can
get through this.
The bills are late already.
Well, good thing
I got this work program.
They said they could
pay 1500 up front.
-That's great pay. What are
you even gonna be doing?
-Tiffany,
don't worry about it.
It's just business.
For three weeks?
Okay, I'll just take care
of everything myself, right?
Well, it was this or jail.
I'm sorry.
Me too.
Tiffany...
[Andrew] Bye, buddy.
What's going on?
[Jared] Hey, hop in back, man.
It's open.
[door opens]
[Andrew] All right, nice van.
Isn't she?
Not ours, though.
-Hey, man, let me
see your cell phone.
-I don't have one.
-You don't have a cell phone?
-No.
Okay, dude,
we're gonna hit the gas station.
We gotta go get him one.
[chuckles]
[Jared] I was gonna wash
the windows down,
but I think someone
stole the wipe,
so we probably can
just deal with this shit
the whole way there.
Dude, hand me that,
uh, drill press, brother.
-[Andrew] This thing?
-Yeah.
So, dude,
not many people know this,
but, uh, the NSA
can be listening to you
through your primary microphone
on your phone,
even when you're not even on it.
So we don't take any chances.
Is this a joke? Do I need to
wear a tinfoil hat or something?
[scoffs] So you can have
my old phone.
-[Andrew] What the hell?
-No more listening.
Shit is business.
What are we getting into?
[Keezie] Cutting some crops.
-[laughs]
-[Andrew] All right.
Crop cutting, baby!
-Cutting some, rocking it down.
-Rocking it down.

-Is that a zip tie?
-Yeah.
Oh, okay.
That's what they're for.
-Yeah, my dad used to grow pot.
-Millions of people do.
If you think about it,
it's just a plant.
All right,
so if you come down here,
I'm gonna show you
how to get some clippings.
So, what you wanna do

Yeah, man, that's the thing,

but, dude,
I got 80 pounds ready to go
and another 80 pounds next week,
dude, so it's all good.
Every time. Every fucking time.
I won't keep doing this.
You know what?
-I should just take
all your fucking...
-No. [chuckles]
Dude, after this,
we're square, dude,
plus I'm giving you
200 grand worth of weed, dude,
so fucking chill out, dude.
-Everyone grows weed.
-Ah.
This is the last time.
You square up, and fast.
Yeah, man, no worries, dude.
No worries.
I won't be fronting you
after this fucking shoddy
fucking business
dealing of yours.
Then calm down, dude.
I'm not gonna give you another
250 grand of my good stuff.
Dude, you know I can't front
without you, man.
What are you fucking
talking about? You can't
do that to me now.
Like that's my fucking problem?
You think I give a shit, huh?
-Did I not tell you
to get my money?
-Come on, man.
Get my fucking money, all right?
-Come on, man.
-You better.
Damn, fuck. Dude, chill. Chill.
The last motherfucker that
owed me this kind of money,
all right,
isn't breathing anymore.
Get my fucking money!
And sell this shit, all right?
All right. All right.
Now get me the weed. Let's go.
-All right, all right, right.
-Hurry the fuck up.
All right, let's step it up
and get this shit done
and get back to town, man.
You guys, don't forget
to get the tops and the bottoms

You're high as fuck, and
you just stand there acting

Dude, don't hate, dude.
What's your problem?
That. That shit is my problem.
Bro, we used to just come here
to disappear, have a good time,
and then leave
with a shitload of weed.
But now it's all numbers
and frustration
and shit with you.
Well, dude, some people
have bills and shit.
Well, fuck your bills and shit.
What do you even do
that's so great?
Not just anybody
can move this shit.
[Seth] All right,
last chance on clippings.
It just starts over.
Can these grow indoors?
It's not ideal,
but yeah, you can.
Cool.
There's plenty more,
if you want some.
Thanks.
Dried weight,
it's about 50 pounds.
-I can't believe this shit.
-It is what it is, bro.
God decides what you get.
"God decides what you get."

to drive in, man.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Look,
I'm cool with driving the pot,
but I'm not driving any
of your chemical shit.
Oh, come on.
Whatever. Let's go.
Ah, shit, look, bro,
it's a fucking cop.

-[Seth] Shit, not today.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[Jared] Oh, no. Fuck. Shit.
[groans]
I only helped trim that pot
to get out of that mess
those traffic cops put me in.
Andrew, listen to me close.
Anything and everything
that you say
will be used against you
in a court of law.
I don't believe
I did anything wrong.
You just told me
that you trimmed pot.
That is so far different
than selling it.
Andrew, you are
on the DEA's list
for interrogation,
and you have a cartel's phone
in your pocket
with evidence of you
at a grow operation.
You-- You need to be honest
and tell me some of the names
of the people in this picture.
[sighs] Look, give me some
information that I don't know,
because I wanna believe
that you're a good kid,
but the DEA is building
a great case against you.
You're gonna get transferred
tomorrow to the courts
for assault on a police officer.
I'm telling you
everything I know.
[Tiffany] Detective?
Listen, Andrew didn't do
anything wrong, okay?
He has a family to take care of.
[sighs]
Andrew has court tomorrow,
and he's not gonna
be available for visitation
until after he's been
formally booked.
And to be honest,
he's facing more charges.
Andrew and Joseph left before
those guys got shot in our yard.
Go ask Joseph yourself.
Listen, ladies, Andrew will be
available tomorrow after court.
[Joseph grunts]
Can I talk to you for a minute?
[groans]
I'm in a rush here,
so make it quick.
Who shot you?
I don't know, man. I just--
I just opened the door and--
And-- And bang.
Did the DEA say that
they were going to, um,
press charges against you?
No, but I think he wants to.
Well, Andrew told me that, um,
he's just a small-time
weed dealer,
that he only sold
to smoke for free.
-Is that true?
-No, you're lying.
Okay? He never sold any pot.
He grew some,
but he never sold it.
[Andrew] Joseph,
wake your ass up.
-[Joseph groaning]
-Hey, wake up, man.
-Wake up. Wake up.
-Whoa.
Dude, where have you
fricking been, man?
I was just in the hills
cutting down pot with Jared.
Really? Dude, what's up, man?
What's next? Seriously.
All right, listen to this.
We grow pot.
-Seriously?
-Yeah.
-Did you bring back any weed?
-Yeah, dude.
There's so much of it,
but the mule got pulled over
when we were driving
back into town.
The mule? Like in--?
Like in the movies?
Yeah. He was pretty cool too.
So, what do you say, man?
I need an investor.
Two thousand, at least.
Invest? Like--? Like--?
In, like--? Like a business?
-What do you mean?
-Growing pot.
Dude, seriously?
That's your idea?
Okay, that's so stupid.
You don't even know
how to do that.
Oh, yeah?
Well, I do now.
And I think I can do it
better than they did it.
Are you in?
I'm in.
Let's use my credit card.

Come on, Andrew.
I know what you're up to.
You've got a family
that depends on you.
[Andrew] That's why I gotta
do something just to get even.
That's exactly what's wrong
with this whole damn country.
It's your generation's
sense of entitlement.
Andrew, your dad
would want me to talk to you
about you growing pot.
So, what are you going to do?
What I'm going to do
is tell you to be damn careful.
And the cops see everything.
You can't be using
the grow industry
to pay your bills.
What I meant was,
when you close up this shop,
what are you going to do?
Don't worry about me.
I'll be sitting pretty good
when I sell those ten acres.
Was my dad a drug dealer?
I mean, I knew he grew, but...
Andrew, listen to me.
We both know that this industry
has consequences.
We've learned that lesson.
And it's not for a family man.
Hey, Brian?
Jordan needs you up front.
He wants to know
if he should match
an Internet price on something.
I'll be right down.
We're good?
Yeah.
I thought we were gonna
buy some stuff and drive.
We'll have to
make do without it.
He knows we're growing.
He just has no idea how much.

-Oh, my.
-Dude.
[footsteps approaching]
Oh, wow.
-Hey.
-Hey there, Joseph.
This is a lot of pot.
What the hell are you doing?
You know, I thought
you were gonna do
a couple of plants, maybe.
I was thinking you'd grow
a couple of plants.
But this is just way too much.
Give some to Joseph
and get the rest out. Flush it.
-[Andrew] Flush it?
-Yeah.
-Can we talk about this first?
-No, we can't talk about this.
You got court in a few days.
We don't need any more trouble.
You know what I'm saying?
We don't need any more trouble.
All right?
Come here.
I love you.
Now, get rid of it.

-What? Oh, my God.
It's Andrew. Oh, jeez.
-[Andrew] What's up?
And Joseph.
Give me some sugar there.
-What's going on, guys?
-Nothing much.
Hey, you wanna come trim
a bunch of pot tonight?
Give you a piece
of what you cut.
Hell, yeah, dude.
You grew it? Like, the pot?
[Andrew] Don't worry about it.
That... is the freshest weed
I have ever seen.
[camera clicks]
Tiffany needs to talk to you,
so while you're doing that,
I'm going to... sample.
Yeah, no, there's no sampling.
You can touch it. It's fine.
Andrew, we cannot have
our kid in this house
with that much pot.
If we trim this, we could be
busy for a whole week.
Or you could end up
in prison for years.
But we have so much.
We could be rich.
Andrew, we don't need
drug money.
We don't need it.
-Really?
-Yes.
Okay.
[Andrew] Yeah, well,
I gotta get rid of it.
Got you, bro. No worries.
You really think we could trim
all that pot in a week?
-Oh, yeah, are you kidding me?
-There's more?
Way more.
-See, Andrew's got
a secret room right here.
-Hey, Joseph.
He was totally kidding.
You know, I think you know
that you're going to be facing
consequences for your actions.
Well, I have the right
to remain silent,
so I'll see you in court.
And maybe when you're in court,
you'll see your buddy
Andrew there.
I got two felonies
in hand for Andrew.
And that's not to mention
what the DA is gonna do.
He's getting charges
from you and them?
-They're federal. I'm state.
-Well, am I getting
charges from you?
No, I'm pinning it
all on Andrew.
And I'm gonna make a note
that he is part
of this drug supply line.
And he will be linked
to the cartel
through the phone
that you gave him.
But hey, it just means
that his kid will suffer,
that's all.

-You good?
-Yeah, man. I'm fine.
-You look like shit, man.
-Thanks.
I need some cash, though.
-I was hoping you'd buy this.
-Oh, my God.
-Super wet.
-I just got done trimming it
with your boy Andrew.
Andrew?
Yeah, him and his boy
grew a bunch.
-What?
-He said he's just
gonna give it to me.
Just gonna give it to you, huh?
He's gonna give it to me, man.
That guy owes me money.
I can show you
where the spot is.
-Yeah?
-Yeah, and there's a bunch.
[Jared chuckling] Oh.
Phew.
Back in business.
-You best not be shitting me.
-Hey, I'm telling you, I'm not.
[car door closes]
-This is the last fucking time.
-I know, man. I know, man.
I'm not playing any more
fucking games with you.
-I told you.
-Don't make this fucking
trigger finger itchy.
Then you'll know
I'm motherfucking serious.
If he owes you money,
he owes me money,
and we squaring up tonight.
[Jared] Dude,
you don't get it, do you?
I gave you a loan, dude.
I expect it back.
I'm giving you
everything I have.
[Manny] Who the fuck is this?
[SUV door closes]
-You call the fucking cops?
-No, I didn't.
Joseph!
Dude, what the fuck
is wrong with you? Why
the hell would you do that?
-Shit!
-[Andrew] Help me.
-[groaning]
-[Andrew] Joseph, you all right?
-Oh, my God. Let's go.
-What the fuck?
-[Andrew] Get up.
-What--?
[groaning]
[Andrew] Let's go.
It's gonna be okay.
[Manny] Where the fuck
do they think they're going?
[panting] Fuck.
[Joseph whimpering]
[Joseph] What--?
He just fucking shot me, man.
What the f--?
[Joseph] Dude,
look at this shit!
Hey, hey, keep your hands on it.
You gotta put pressure on it.
Keep it on there.
[gunshot]
[speaking indistinctly]
[footsteps echoing]
[knocking on door]
This is C-Spin. I'm...
[Holloway] You guys
sure look busy.
U.S. Department of the Interior
has confirmed that APHIS
is the leading agency behind
an international sting operation
targeting drug cartels'
production operations.
Internal sources suggest
that APHIS is not trying
to take down the cartels
but instead using leverage
to change marijuana and cocaine
to patented, genetically
modified versions of the drugs,
essentially cornering the market
on illegal drugs
before they become legal.
Did you get those charges filed
on Andrew that we talked about?
Well, you see,
after a full review of the case,
I've, um, requested the DA drop
the original charges of assault.
Why in the world
would you do that?
I took an oath to protect
citizens against injustice,
both foreign and domestic.
And you, you sure
seem to be jumping
to an awful lot of conclusions
with no evidence.
No evidence? Are you kidding me?
What's this?
Your Honor, why would you
dismiss Andrew Durfy's charges?
Like I've been trying to say,
all of Andrew's charges
have been dropped
by the state because of--
Because you don't even know
what you're dealing with.
This is bigger
than you can understand.
Last night,
Lieutenant Holloway found this
in his officer's records.
Like I was trying to say.
We don't want this in the news.
I'll do it all night long.
You know what I'm saying, man?
Yeah, the girl I just let go.
Don't tell me you
wouldn't do that, man.
-Come on.
-This isn't gonna matter.
Even the prosecuting attorney
agreed to let him go
if he signed a waiver.
Let me guess, you're not filing
the high-speed chase
-or the second assault.
-If you have any real evidence,
-you can file it
with your own federal court.
-And I will be.
In fact, I have three felony
charges that I'll be filing
and a search warrant
for Andrew's house.
So basically,
you just let my fugitive go.
[judge] What do you mean,
Swanson?
Well, first off,
his phone has been altered
like a cartel phone.
[Holloway] Just so you know,
that's Jared's old phone.
What about the evidence
of him at the grow operation?
-It's legal in his state.
-Swanson, unlike your agency,
this court respects
other state laws.
It's legal there.
So I will not be making
a decision on this matter.
[Swanson] I'm telling you,
this is bigger than
you can understand.
Look, we even have
his father in custody.
He's been working
for the cartel for years.
Andrew's father?
Fred Durfy? I remember his case.
He's been missing for ten years.
Yeah. His dad claims
that he was held hostage
and forced to grow marijuana
because he was good at it.
Right. Andrew's a member
of a supply chain.
This is a family operation.
Look, Swanson, it seems like
you're operating on a hunch.
And I know how
your bureaucracy works.
But in this court, we follow all
the rules of the Constitution.
So unless you have
valid legal evidence,
my decision stands.
-Swanson.
-What do you want, Holloway?
-Did you say Durfy's in custody?
-He arrived a few hours ago.
Well, did he say what
happened? I'd love to get
a statement for the press.
Not yet. We still have
to confirm his story.
You do understand
he's a known drug dealer.
Yeah, but, uh,
what has that got to do
with a ten-year-old
missing-persons report?
It's newsworthy.
Just-- Just stand aside
till we make our decision.
We'll keep you in the loop.
Agent Swanson.
You might wanna reconsider
pressing charges against Andrew.
See, we got Jared's testimony.
Andrew, he's got nothing
to do with it.
I'll keep that in mind.
[man] Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Let me know.
-What have you got?
-The cartel.
They admit it was a hostage.
And he was also talking
about a multinational laboratory
that was shut down last week.
And he's worried
about some scientists
that disappeared a few days
before the raid.
What else did he say?
[Swanson] Mr. Durfy.
[door closes]
Welcome back
to the United States.
How's my family?
-Do they know I'm alive?
-Have a seat, please.
Tell me what happened.
Basically, I was forced
to take care of 35 acres of pot.
Forced?
Forced.
Cartel told me
that if I tried to escape,
they would kill
my entire family.
Go on.
I was able to kick out about
a thousand pounds per season
for the first few years.
I was the only one
who spoke English.
I was also the only one
who knew how to do the job.
So, uh, it was pretty lonely
till we got some neighbors.
-Neighbors?
-Yeah.
Uh, some American scientists.
They set up
a high-tech lab next door.
They said that
their experiments were...
Were going to feed the world.
One day, there was a lot
of commotion next door.
Um...
They were all very upset.
Something about laws,
deregulation.
And then that night,
there was a fire.
The next day,
the Brazilian government
was rounding everybody up.
And who else knows?
Nobody.
[Swanson] We may
have another problem.
Detective Holloway has been
asking a lot of questions.
We're in the middle
of a major overhaul
in biotechnology regulation.
We can't have
that story getting out.
What do you suggest?
We have options.
Ship him back to Brazil. Adis.
Okay.
Yeah, what did you find?
[woman over phone] I've checked
with every department.
There is no Fred Durfy listed.
Uh, put me through to Swanson.
His line is busy, sir.
Look, let me ask you,
where would you hold someone
who is not an inmate?
Well, sir, all of the senators
and lobbyists hang out
in the second-floor
meeting area.
[Swanson] You need to understand
that you're involved
in a highly classified
national-security case.
Which means?
Mr. Durfy, I would really like
to get you back home
to see your family.
[sighs]
This is an SF-703
federal document.
Signing it legally binds you
from talking about
anything that's happened.
We will be watching you.
Forget to keep me in the loop?
You must be Fred.
Yeah. Who are you?
Detective Holloway.
I've been looking for you
for ten years.
Your family is
gonna be relieved.
Is this his statement?
Uh... no, this is, uh...
This is another thing.
I'll make a statement
in a few minutes.
Thank you. Detective Holloway.
Get him home to his family.
[poignant music playing]
[door closes]
-[Jace coos]
-[Tiffany] Oh, my God.
-Oh, my gosh.
-Wait. We were just headed
-to your court hearing.
What are you doing?
-Yeah, well,
-all charges are dropped.
-[Lauren squeals]
-Are you serious?
-Yeah.
-Yay! Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, my God. Oh, thank God.
Oh, I'm so happy!
-I'm so happy. That's great.
-What's up, bro?
-What's up?
-Hey, Brian.
Did you hear that?
Did you hear that?
Hey, you know, cops came in here
and they were asking questions
about...
[Andrew] Oh. Oh, yeah, don't
even worry about that, man.
Once you told Keezie
about my secret,
cleaned out the whole house.
Yeah, we're good.
Phew.
[Lauren] Thanks, Brian.
-That's wonderful.
-What now?
Well, I really need
to speak with Andrew
and Lauren privately.
Whatever you gotta say,
you can do it right here.
This is all family.
Okay.
Andrew, your dad...
-is alive.
-[Andrew] What?
[poignant music continues]
["Fortunate"
by Atmosphere playing]
I highly doubt
That y'all think about sex
Anywhere near as often
As I think about death
Go ahead and shout
At the top of your lungs
But don't wake the baby up
We got a lot to get done
That little light
Indicates a connection
And if it's all the same
I'd like to make a suggestion
See, if everybody
On this comet agreed
We could set the clock
To whenever we want it to be
I just might
Just modify the mileage
I don't know much
But I'm confident
The fight's fixed
So high that I feel
Like a pilot
Falling out a sky
Full of brilliant brightness
Hurry up
Stir me up
You gotta learn the words
Before the whole Earth burning
But we wouldn't even need
To recognize your birthday
If you were the center
Of the universe
In the first place
If I had feathers
I would fly away
If I felt fresher in fur
I would hibernate
If I ever figured out
How to communicate
Maybe then
We could accumulate
For now face the wall
I ain't the same as y'all
A real friend
Wouldn't make you
Take the fall
Sometimes life'll try
To break your balls
With the long list
Of missed wake-up calls
You know
I wanna feel special
Walk around the festival
Carrying a big stuffed animal
I try not to make
A mess, though
Gotta stay sensible
Ain't nobody coming
With the antidote
I wanna watch you grow
And I wanna leave the planet
Better off than it was
Handed to me
And I don't know
That's a possibility
So I settle
For selling my soul
To the slaves
Of the land of the free
I don't wanna leave
My family tree behind
I don't no one to miss me
Like I miss you
But I don't wanna take up
Too much time
I'm not trying to run away
From the line we drew
The sunshine seems to
Feel so seamless
The soldier is a dreamer
And a realist
And history sealed this
Taught me that a hero
Ain't nothing but a field trip
Nah, I know you're down to do
Something profound
Put a stake in the ground
To prove that you was around
But no amount of time
Would ever be
Considered enough
I'm trying to tether it up
And live forever through love
We're not lucky
But we're fortunate
I'm pretty sure of it
And all the life we wasted
Trying to make some bread
Might have been better spent
Trying to raise the dead
[song ends]
