Emily the Criminal (2022) Movie Script
[workers chattering]
[Office Manager] Okay.
Okay, oh. Office
experience, which is great.
Okay.
So Emily,
I do see that you have something
on your permanent record.
Is that right?
Yeah. Yes, it is.
[Office Manager] Oh. We
haven't run a background check.
We don't usually do that.
Could you fill us in on the details?
Sure.
I have DUI, like, a misdemeanor DUI.
[Office Manager] What happened exactly?
I drove some friends home from a concert
and I ran a red light.
Everybody was fine, but-
[Office Manager] And you were intoxicated?
I was less intoxicated
than my friends, but yeah,
that's what happened, so.
[Office Manager] Okay.
So this is your official background check,
which I have read and
according to the state,
you were convicted of
aggravated assault in 2016.
Is that correct?
So, you do have all my information?
[Office Manager] Yeah,
yeah. I'm afraid we do.
Okay. Okay.
Why would you-
[Office Manager] Well,
[chuckles] if you want us
to be generous with you,
then you need to be generous
with us and be honest.
Okay?
Okay.
[Office Manager] This
is a very important job.
You'd be handling private medical files.
Right.
Right. You're right.
I'm sorry.
[Office Manager] Yeah.
Let's start over, okay?
Okay.
Can you tell us what
happened with the assault?
No.
[Office Manager, chuckles] No?
No. Why would you trick somebody like that?
[Office Manager] Oh! I did not trick you.
Yeah, you did.
[Office Manager] What I did is very common.
That's a very common technique.
Oh, is that right? So,
you do that all the time?
[Office Manager] If
people chose to be honest,
then I wouldn't have
to do that all the time.
Well, you know what? Fuck this.
I don't even want to work here.
[Office Manager] Emily,
I'm sorry you're upset but-
No, you're not.
Calm down, please.
I am calm.
And you asked me why I want this job
because I got $70,000 of student debt.
There's your fucking answer right there.
Yeah. You need to leave.
Yeah, actually. You know what?
Give me that too.
- Okay, fine. Thank you.
- Yeah, thank you too.
Excuse me.
[Cook] There you go.
Yo.

[pan crinkling]
So, this is the house
salad, dressing on the side,
then the chicken churrasco, black beans.
Okay. Did we get two rice orders?
Two rice. Two veggies.
Okay, good.
Hey, yo! Emily, yo.
Are you working tonight?
No, I just got off.
Do you want my shift?
My son has a baseball game in Glendale.
His mother was supposed to take him.

work downtown at night.
I know this. Big favor.

I swear to God.
What is this?
Dummy shopper.
You know what that is? Yeah?
Dummy shopper.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's super easy.
You and me at lunch tomorrow, right?
[Emily] Yeah, I'll see you then.

Thank you. Come on.

[Roommate] You got some mail.
Thanks.
[refrigerator door shutting]
Hi, yeah.
I paid $400 on the 10th
and it was never applied to my balance.
$400.
It was applied to my interest?
Sorry. How much interest
is being added a month?
[door slamming shut]
[lively techno music]
[sirens blaring]
[pedestrians chattering]
[phone notification dings]
Doing what?
[phone notification dings]
[Parking Attendant, knocks on window]
Excuse me, lady.
You can't park here. You got to go.

Yeah, no. I'm going to Portugal.
For work?
Yeah, I got to go oversee this photo shoot
for a print campaign.
So we're going to Porto,
some little village on the Spanish border.
- Holy shit.
- Yeah, yeah.
It's only for 11 days but-
11 days? That's awesome.
Yeah, [laughing] I know.
Yeah. So how are you?
What's up? It's been a minute.
Are you still doing portraits?
Yeah. Like, yes and no.
I'm not painting at all right now. Yeah.
[Liz] Paint's expensive.
Yes. Yeah, I need a job.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
Like a real job, like a real job. Yeah.
Yeah. Just to like pay my loans and yeah.
So I might go back to Jersey
and live with my stepdad
for awhile and save money.
No. What?
Is that what you want to do?
No, but yeah.
Okay. What if I got you an interview?
'Cause I know that we're
hiring a graphic designer
and we're always hiring assistants.
Yeah, but I thought you didn't
feel super comfortable doing that.
No, I know. I know I
didn't but my boss loves me.
Like for real, she's obsessed with me.
Yeah.
She said I have to like
tell her about my record.
That's like the whole thing.
Yeah. No, let me talk to her.
I'll tell her we went
to art school together.
I'll vouch for you.
I mean, it'll be fun.
Really?
You're not going back to Jersey. Fuck that.
- Okay.
- Fuck that.
Thank you.
Of course.
[Emily] All right. Let's get a drink.
Yes. Are you drinking?
I'm drinking, but I don't know.
Yeah, I'll have wine. I'll take it easy.
- [Liz groaning]
- [fun hip hop music]
[party goers chattering]
Whoa!
Oh-
No, no. Come on, come on, come on.
[Liz laughing]
Oh my God.
Oh my God, I'm drunk.
Oh my God. Fuck!
[zipper unzips]
[zipper zips up]
[people chattering]
Hi. I'm here for the-
Let me see your driver's license.
[scanner humming]
Who gave you our number?
Javier Santos.
Can you tell me exactly-
Wait.
Hello, Javier? Do you know Emily Borato?
[Emily] Benetto.
Boretto.
[Emily] Benetto.
[camera flash shuttering]
[people chattering]
[laughing] This kid is really cool though.
He acting like he don't give a shit.
Man, he over here just [laughing].
[people chattering]
Who here has been a dummy shopper before?
Raise your hands but
only if you've done it.
You did?
Where? In L.A.?
Nah, Milwaukee.
[Youcef] Oh, Milwaukee.
What'd you buy, snow shoes?
Nah, like an iPad Mini. Two iPad Minis.
Good.
So for everybody else, listen up.
In the next hour, you will make 200 cash,
but you will have to do something illegal.
You won't be in danger.
You won't endanger another person,
but you will be breaking the law.
So if you're not cool with that, I get it,
and you can go with any time.
Can I keep going?
- Yeah, that's what we want.
- Uh huh.
Good.
Grab a card, please.
In a few minutes you will go into a store
and buy some merchandise.
Any of these flat screens is okay.
Just buy one and wheel it outside.
We pick up the merchandise and we pay you.
And that's it for today.
These are stolen, right?
The information on them is stolen. Yes.
What? Nah, man.
Fuck that. I can't fuck with y'all.
Okay.
Look, if you're not cool with this, great.
Take off and don't
bother calling the police.
We haven't done anything illegal yet.
They won't even show up. Okay?
[Man] I'm cool with it.
Wait, hold on. What's the problem?
No, it's just, how do
we know the cards work?
You don't. That's the hard
part, you have to trust me.
What if they ask for a driver's license?
Mm.
Is that you?
Let's make some fucking money.
[people chattering]
[lighthearted oldies rock music]
[suspenseful drum music]
[scanner beeps]
[card reader beeps]
[suspenseful drum music]
[receipt crinkling]
[wheels rattling]
Yo! Are you gonna pay for that?
I'm sorry?
I said, are you gonna pay for that?
I forgot. Sorry, man.
[wheels rattling]
[box shuffling]
[car door shutting]
Tomorrow you have the
option to do another job.
It's a little bit more complicated.
We'll text you at 1:00 PM, okay?
What do I have to do?
Kill someone.
Just kidding. We'll tell you tomorrow.
All right.
Wait. Don't you want to know
how much you get paid for it?
How much?
2,000.
$2,000?
We'll text you, yes? One o'clock.
Sure.
[relaxing classical musical]
[trunk slamming shut]
Right there. That's good.
I got it.
[car horn honks]
[elevator button clicking]
You text that number?
Yeah? Yeah.
For real?
Hey, did you do another job
for them, like, the next day?
Nah, but I was curious though.
I was
definitely curious.
Shit's broken or something.
[elevator button clicking]
[bags ruffle]
What's up? Want me to get it?
[Emily] Nah, I'm good.
- You sure?
- I'm good.
[bag unzipping]
[Javier] God, damn it!
[Emily] I got you.
I'm not trying to get fired.
Not on my [indistinct].
Shh, chill.
Are we supposed to eat this?
[phone vibrating]
Hey, what's going on?
[Liz] Hey. Oh, are you at work?
Yeah, it's fine. Did you talk to your boss?
[Liz] Oh, I'll call you back. Sorry.
No, no, it's good. It's cool.
[Liz] Okay.
Well, so we just hired
some people, apparently.
[Javier knocking on glass]
My boss is being super
weird right now and like-
Did you really talk to her?
[Liz] What? Yeah.
You think I'm lying?
No.
[Emily sighs]
[phone slams shut]
[phone bangs against trashcan]
[phone notification dings]
Oh, fuck.
[phone notification dings]
It's an hour away. So, I got to go now.
What are you talking about?
Wells Fargo is a half
order, you don't need me.
Nah, you can't ditch out
in the middle of lunch.
I'll throw you my delivery fee. Okay?
That's 30 bucks right there.
What? Am I driving your car?
I'll take you back to the
kitchen, you grab your car.
[car engines humming]
[dramatic piano music]
Whoa!
These are black cards. They
don't have limit, no limit.
And these, take these, okay?
Just listen to me and you'll be fine.
Do what I tell you to do.
Go to the Southeast corner of the Plaza.
You'll see a white door,
they'll buzz you in.
If you don't know
Southeast, use your phone.
It's just you.
Okay? Okay.
With a purchase of this size,
the bank will call the vendor,
but that takes eight minutes.
So once they run your card,
you have eight minutes to leave.
Eight minutes or they know it's fake.
How do I know this is going to be safe?
If you don't want to do it, don't do it.
Okay? It's up to you.
[birds chirping]
[shoppers chattering]
[door shutting]
[Emily knocks on door]
- Hey.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Good.
Come inside.
Please, come in.
Okay, so you want to test drive it, huh?
No, actually my boyfriend
drove it yesterday,
so I'm just here-
[man speaking foreign language]
Here to pick it up.
Oh okay. Sit down.
[Car Dealer speaking foreign language]
[man speaking foreign language]
So, you don't want to see the car, huh?
No. I don't need to.
He, like I said, he drove it yesterday, so.
It's a little unusual for someone
to buy a car without seeing it.
Mm.
Okay. Let's do it.
How do you want to pay for it?
Do you have a cashier's check?
Yes.
I've got.
Okay.
And-
And the rests of the card.
Okay.
Let me see your driver's license.
Sure.
[Car Dealer] Jennifer, huh?
Jen.
Okay. Just a moment.
Takes a few seconds.
It's taking its time.
[card reader beeps]
[paper ripping]
Please sign.
[pen scribbles on paper]
There you go.
Thank you.
Hold on a minute.
I need you to fill out this form.
This is a waiver that
states we're not responsible
for any mechanical issues after today.
Sure.
[Car Dealer] Take your
time. There's no rush.
We just got this car, you know?
Oh yeah?
Yeah, from Mexico. You don't mind do you?
No.
[laughing] Oh, but it's a nice car.
So your name was what,
Jennifer or Jen? Jen?
Sure. Yeah, Jennifer.
I like Jen.
Oh okay. You like Jen-
Yeah, Jennifer, no.
Jennifer makes you too old.
[Emily] Oh, we wouldn't want that.
Hey, get my number. That's the car.
You like it?
Yeah.
Get my number.
Yeah, I think I got his number too.
- There you go.
- Thank you very much.
Enjoy, yeah.
It fits you nice, huh?
- Yeah, yeah.
- You look nice, yeah.
Drive safe.
[engine turning over]
[man knocks on window]
Just one moment, please.
[man speaking foreign language]
Hey, we just need to go back to the office
for just a second.
Why? What's wrong?
Nothing. We forgot one thing.
It's just my fault.
You can't tell me what it is?
It's not a big deal, you know?
So just, can you turn
off the engine, please?
Turn off the engine.
Hey, hey! Don't [screams]!
[man grunts]
[man shouts in foreign language]
[car engine roaring]
[car engines roaring]
Pull over! Pull the fucking car over!
[tires screeching]
Fuck [panting].
Oh, what the fuck did I just told you?
- [pepper spray spraying]
- [man groaning]
[car tires screeching]
[Youcef] Hold on. What's this?
Oh shit.
[keys clinking]
Two grand. Let me see it.
Okay. Okay.
- Come on. Let's go!
- Okay!
What the fuck are you staring at?
Give it to me.
[Youcef speaking foreign language]
What happened?
Dude fucking attack to
me. What do you think?
Let me see.
No, don't touch me.
I just want to help, okay?
I thought it was safe.
That's why you paid somebody
else to do it, right?
Fuck off!
[helicopter rotors fluttering]
[Emily sobbing]
Hey. Are you okay, huh?
Hey, hey. Breathe.
It's okay. You're okay.
Okay, lean, lean forward.
Lean, lean, lean forward.
- Okay, good. Come on.
- [Emily coughing]
Okay.
Are you okay to drive?
[Khalil speaking foreign language]
[Youcef speaking foreign language]
You can't make money another way?
You can make money another way?
Make a left up here.
[Youcef] Here?
Here.
Okay. You're welcome.
Hey, wait, wait.
Do you want this?
Yes?
Yes. Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Is your face swelling?
What?
Your face? You need to put ice on it, okay?
Yeah, I know.
Right away.
But you need to use the ice cubes. Yes?
Yeah. You think, I
don't know how to do ice?
I did not say you don't, okay?
I could help. I could come up and help.
You want to help put ice cubes on my face?
Sure.
[ice cracking]
Here. Thank you.
Put it right on your face.
You don't have to do that.
I told you there isn't any left.
I know.
[Roommate's Boyfriend]
You got no other booze.
[Roommate] Excuse me, no. It's there.
[television broadcasting foreign language]
Excuse me.
Did you make these?
Yeah, a long time ago.
Check it out.
I'm going to buy this place and fix it up.
40 units, just like
this, rental properties.
My man, Rahad is going to sell it to me
after he's done renovating.
You're going to buy this?
[Youcef] I am.
How much is it?
It's a little down payment.
You make that much selling TVs?
Sometimes TVs, sometimes
other things as you know.
How much can one person
make if they did what you do?
What I do?
No, I was just wondering.
I mean, I already did it twice.
You could show me how to do it.
Why? What's in it for me?
I don't know, how about a free car?
[phone vibrating]
[Youcef speaking foreign language]
Here.
Keep it. Now you have my number.
Adios.
[metal clinking]
Hey, I'm sorry about yesterday. All right?
Did it go okay?
Marco wants to talk to you.
[knocks] Hey.
Yo, what happened yesterday?
It was an emergency,
okay? I'm really sorry.
Why didn't you call?
I should have.
Well, I got to cut your lunch Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday.
If you want to double up on nights-
What, what? Starting this week?
This week. Yeah.
No, you can't take me off the calendar
with no warning, Marco.
I'm sorry, are you an employer?
No, you're an independent contractor.
So quit talking like you got
rights and go back to work.
Oh my God, dude. We have rights.
Just because we're not employees-
Look, this isn't a union in house.
Call your shop steward then. All right?
You got a union shop steward, call them,
if not go back to work.
[lights flick on]
So I can give you numbers,
but I can't make cards for you.
I do not have the time.
But it's easy.
Watch.
Here's the numbers.
Here's the cards.
[machine clanking]
Okay.
Now, you scan the magnet.
[card reader beeps]
Now you try.
Fucker.
When you did it, it looked so easy.
[Youcef laughing]
Okay, wait, wait. Look, look.
Pull it hard like this.
[storage door rattling]
We sell to a couple of vendors.
They keep us on payroll like salary,
but you can sell online,
Craigslist, whatever.
Yeah, that's a bad idea, right?
I mean, none of this is safe technically,
but if you listen to exactly
what they say, you'll be fine.
Don't mess with ATMs. Okay?
Don't meet customers at your home.
And the most important thing,
don't go to the same store
more than once in a week.
You'll be dealing with lots of cash.
What do you use for protection?
Pepper spray.
No good. I got something for you.
Whoa, what do you mean?
What is that?
[zaps taser] This.
If you make less than
$5,000, keep it, you're done.
Okay. And what if I make more?
If you make more?
Yeah.
Then you hit me up and
we'll take things further.
[party goers chattering]
[door shutting]
[metal clanking]
Shit.
[machine lever engaging]
Hey, Michael, are you still coming?
So, it's $600?
Six? No, it's $300.
No, $600.
You said three online.
No, no, I texted you six. I'll show you.
$300.
For real man. We're in broad daylight?
Oh, what's up?
You gonna call the police?
I mean, we could just
steal the shit for free.
All right. All right.
[Buyer] $300.
Sure. No worries.
Come on, now. Where are you going?
Hold up. Hold up.
$600, yes or no?
$350. Hey, where are you going?
What else you got?
[high energy hip hop music]
[lever engaging]
[high energy hip hop music]
[bag zipping]
[high energy hip hop music]
[car door shutting]
Cool, man.
Thank you.
[high energy hip hop music]
[tape cutting]
[Emily blowing lips]
So, fucking insane.
It's like my favorite
color. You know it's green?
And so I thought, why
can't I have a color party.
You know what I'm saying?
Okay, so you got my email.
So you know everything you need to do.
The only thing is he's crate training,
so he has to sleep in the crate.
- Okay, got it.
- He doesn't like it.
But just, you know, shove him in there.
Hey buddy.
Hey, I'm sorry about the job.
[Emily] It's fine.
I can hook you up. I
know I can hook you up.
I just got to wait for
the right time, you know?
[Emily] Totally.
But we can talk about it when I get back.
Okay.
Okay. All right, baby.
Mama's gotta go to work.
I'm going to go to Portugal.
Yeah.
Love you.
[chuckles] I'm really gonna miss him.
[Emily] Aww.
And you too. I love you.
Thank you so much.
Okay. Be safe. Yeah, you too.
If he's bad, you know, you
just [slaps hands] smack him.
No.
[dog barking]
[door squeaks open]
Okay, I'm going to hook you
up with more numbers. Yeah?
Bigger accounts. Bigger limits.
Okay?
Okay.
[Youcef] Yeah?
Yeah.
Sit, please. This could
take a minute. Okay?
[keyboard keys clicking]
I like your office.
Oh yeah?
Yes. The Feng Shui, it's just-
[laughing] Yeah, it's good,
because I installed all the lights myself.
I did the lighting design.
- Oh, is that right?
- Yeah. Yeah.
It's good. [laughing] I like it.
Okay.
I fucking hate this place. I hate it.
But just a little more.
Well it's only temporary, right?
[Khalil speaking foreign language]
[Youcef speaking foreign language]
This is my cousin Khalil.
Khalil, this is Emily.
Nice to meet you again.
Nice to meet you too again.
Oh, she forgot her phone
at the meeting Thursday.
So, she came to.
You left your phone?
Yeah.
[Khalil speaking foreign language]
Just give me one second, please.
Yes? Okay.
I'm sorry I was late. Okay?
I'm gonna take you for a walk.
I'm going to feed you.
'Cause that's what I'm supposed to do.

Yeah, I'll be right back, all right?
No, no I'm just giving you a hand.

[Emily grunting]
Stay still. Stay still!

the bedroom closet. All right?
Bedroom on the left, on the

Yes!

Oh, you look sexy.

I missed you.
Thank you, fuck, so much. How was it?
How was what?

Oh, thank God.
He's normally such a fucking asshole.
Oh, not with me.

Oh, okay.
All right. What do you do then?
Credit card fraud.
[lively funk music]
Hey, are you Emily?
[Emily] Yeah.
There's a guy outside looking for you.
[party goers chattering]
Hey, I didn't think you got my text.
I wasn't far away, so.
Hello.
Hi.
This is my friend, Youcef.
Hi. Liz.
Oh, hello. It's very nice to meet you.
Thank you. Thanks for coming.
Liz, yes? Liz?
Yep.
Is it your birthday, Liz?
No, I just got back from a trip, so.
I'll be on the dance floor.
All right. We'll see you then.
Do you know all these people?
No, not really.
Nobody?
No. They all work with
Liz at the ad agency.
Do you want me to pretend
to be your boyfriend?
Sure. Okay.
Like this?
- [party goers chattering]
- [lighthearted pop music]
Hey, hey, hey.
Okay, so Sarah just put
in her two week notice.
My boss just texted me right now and asked
if I know anyone, like, this just happened.
Do you still want to interview?
Yeah. Yeah, definitely.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
Just come by.
Can you come by the office
and I'll prep you on everything
like Tuesday at 11?
Yeah, definitely. Definitely, yeah.
Okay. What did I tell you?
Yeah, girl [laughing].
See you in the back.
[party goers cheering]

[water running]
[soft piano music]
[bag zipping]
[door shutting]
Oh, they finished the painting.
Good.
See, what I want to do is
I want to shorten this wall.
Yes? Put the bar here.
So the living room and the kitchen
is like one big open space.
- Nice.
- Yes?
For all four units,
we'll do the same thing.
We're going to put this up.
Yeah, but do you own this place yet?
Soon.
Soon.
[Emily speaking foreign language]
[both speaking foreign language]
[Emily] Si.
Si.
Si.
So if you had some
money, what would you do?
Pay a loan?
Yeah, I would definitely do that first.
What about your art?
Would you do your art?
Yeah, I would make art for sure.
I would paint. I love painting.
It makes me happy.
What else?
I mean, I don't know.
I just want to be free, you know?
I just want to be able
to experience things.
I want to travel.
I want to live in another
country for awhile.
Like, I got a long list, like,
I really want to go to South America like-
[Youcef] So, go. So, go.
You can go.
Yeah, no. I can't just go.
Sure. Sure you can.
I did. I left my home and it was crazy.
Do you miss it?
Yeah, sure. Of course.
Now you're here.
Now I'm here.
I was hoping you could do
something for me like a favor.
- Yeah?
- I'd owe you.
I swear to God.
What is it?
Don't freak out, seriously. I'd owe you.
Okay?
Okay.
Say yes.
No.
Maybe you button up your sweater.
[Emily] Really?
Please, yes.
Hey, mama.
So happy to see you.
So, happy. Ma.
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
[Youcef] Three kisses.
[laughing] Ah, come on in.
[Youcef] Oh no, no, no, no, no, not this.
- Yes.
- No.
[Luna] Ancient Lebanon tradition.
Really?
No, that's Italiano.
She just wants to drink
that shit with somebody.
[laughing] That's not Lebanese.
[Emily] I'll drink with you.
[Youcef] Oh, of course.
He cannot drink.
He takes tiny little shit sips.
[laughing] I don't take little shit sips.
[Luna] Tiny little baby sips. I show you.
Tiny little baby sips?
Like this [hums].
[laughing] No ones' even said that.
[Luna And Youcef] Okay.
- Here we go.
- Here we go.
[Luna] One, two.
- You don't even do it!
- [Youcef singing]
Come on, one, two
[Youcef] Don't worry about me.
[Luna] One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
[all groaning]
- Ooh!
- It tastes so bad.
He buys me an apartment.
Have you seen much better than here?
I have seen, it's very nice.
He makes promise all
his life, now he does it.
He will become successful businessman.
I know this. I know.
He does what ever it takes. My Youcef.
So what do you do in life?
I'm not sure yet.
You don't know? It's okay.
You will figure out your
gift. God will give you gift.
My gift was making man.
Maybe, Emily the teacher.
Emily the mother. Emily the something.
[Luna laughing]
Very nice. Really nice day.
[Khalil whistles]
- Ah, mama. I missed you.
- [Luna exclaims excitedly]
[Khalil speaking foreign language]
I have more things in the
oven. Sit down, sit down.
[Youcef] I didn't know you were coming.
I'm just in a neighborhood.
I hold a video.
[Youcef] What's that?
Ah, show him.
Right there, huh? Same
store twice in one week.
So they put it on the website
like that. Linden police.
Did you drive your own car
with your own license plate?
[Youcef] I don't think it means anything.
No? Well, it's Emily, right?
Right.
If they find you, they
might find us. Understand?
Huh? Sure.
- You understand?
- I understand.
Okay. Look, maybe we go to somewhere-
No. You lied.
You told me it was a
one time thing with her.
Are you fucking her yet at least?
That's enough.
Okay. That's enough.
At least one of us is benefiting.
Excuse me?
Yes.
What'd you just say?
[Khalil] You cannot hear well?
Yeah, I heard what you said. Say it again.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
I like her. She has bigger balls than you.
I have wonderful things
for you to eat, eat.
[Khalil speaking foreign language]
What is happening that
nobody's eating here?
[Men] Oh, yes.
[Emily] Wow. Those look good.
I want people to eat and feel calm, happy.
Emily?
Hi. Hey.
Hey!
Oh! The blazer, bold choice.
Oh yeah. Is it too much?
- No, I love it.
- It's the only jacket I have.
[Liz] It's very 80s.
So this is how I do the scheduling.
It's just one Google doc
for the entire company
and basically it's open format.
So anyone can go in and make changes
but realistically nobody does that.
So I'm kind of in charge of
keeping everything on point
for about 50 employees, right?
I think it's 55 now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Including assistance
and everything like that.
So basically it's going
to be these six columns
that you want to make sure
that everything is correct.
This last column is going
to be the most important.
And by Friday, everything
needs to be pretty much set.
So you're going to need-
[Liz] Now, you're gonna kill the interview.
[Sarah] E-mail all the
bosses, CC every Assistant,
all that good stuff.
[Liz] Thank you so much, Sarah.
Yeah, of course you.
[Liz] I'm gonna miss you.
[Sarah] Oh, I know, I'm
gonna miss you guys too.
Hey, you want to get lunch?
Right now? Yeah.
Yeah. There's this ramen
place around the corner.
It is ruining my life. It's so good.
But I just need 10. So, I'll be right back.
Yeah, cool.
[somber piano music]
Hey.
Let's go.
What happened?
[Youcef] Let's go. Let's drive.
Hey, you're bleeding.
Here. There's some tissue in here.
[closes glove compartment] Drive the car.
[Emily] All right, fine.
I'm fucking done.
I'm done with Khalil.
So, quit.
Five months, five months!
He hasn't paid me a thing.
He's not paying you?
And now Rahad calls and tells me
he needs the down
payment for the apartment.
He needs it now, that there's a cash offer
from a Chinese company.
I tell Khalil, you know what he say?
You know what he say?
He says you work with Emily
now. Why you come to me?
So, look.
Listen, tomorrow, first thing,
I'm hitting the storage
units then the office.
I'm going to clean up
all the cash that's there,
then the bank account.
We have a business account.
I'm going to empty it as much as I can.
[Emily] Jesus.
Are you in?
Am I in?
We're working together.
Yeah, but that's like a
whole other thing. Okay?
I don't know if I could,
I don't even know what
you're talking about.
Even if I do this alone,
he's going to blame you.
How much do you want?
Oh my God. So you're just going to rob him?
Yes.
You take a cut.
All your debts paid.
You can travel. Get to
a new place, whatever.
But listen, if you're going to do this,
you have to be in for real.
For real.
- [birds chirping]
- [somber music]
[sheets shuffling]
No. Stay here.
No, I gotta go to an interview.
[dramatic piano music]
[workers chattering]
Hi.
Ah, there she is.
Hey, it's so great to meet you.
- Hi.
- Thanks for coming in.
Good to meet you too. Thanks for having me.
Ooh, I like your accent.
You're clearly not from the west coast.
No, I am from New Jersey.
[Alice] Where?
Bayonne
Hoboken.
Oh, nice.
[Alice] Yeah. Where'd you go to school?
HBS.
Junior Senior, Ninth and Clinton.
[Emily] Oh yeah. I know Junior Senior.
So you're familiar with the company.
I don't have to go through
the whole sales pitch.
So you left college before you finished?
Yes.
[Alice] Why?
I got a felony conviction.
So why didn't you go to school afterwards
or a community college?
I wanted to, but you know,
I had legal fees, and student
loans, and living expenses.
I had to take care of my
grandmother, so I had to work.
Okay.
All right.
So what we're looking for
here is a design intern.
Does that sound appealing to you?
Definitely. Yeah.
Good. Yeah.
Sorry. Is that a, you say intern,
is it a job or an internship?
Well, all my assistants are interns.
So is it, sorry. Is that a paid position?
Not at first.
The way it works is the
first five or six months,
you get to know the business
and if you do a great job,
then I'd love to discuss it with you.
Right.
Sorry. I'm just trying to
wrap my head around that.
So what are the hours?
Regular hours.
You do realize this is a
very competitive position?
Yeah, sure. I understand that.
What I don't understand is
how you feel so comfortable
asking someone to work without pay.
You know, when I was your age,
they told me all I
could be was a secretary.
Okay. But secretaries get paid.
[Alice] That's not the point.
Well, when you were my age,
do you have $60,000 of debt?
How about this?
When I was your age, I was the only woman
in a room full of men.
But you had a job.
Okay. You know-
You were getting paid. Am I wrong?
I don't have the time for this.
Clearly you're a bit spoiled.
Spoiled.
Let me be frank with you.
You don't belong here
because you think
everyone is out to get you.
None of us are out to
get you, especially me.
- Oh, Jesus Christ.
- I'm trying to help you.
This was a fantastic,
Liz. Thanks very much.
Thank you. No more talking, just leave.
Thank you so much for coming in.
Hey, if you want to tell me what to do,
put me on the fucking payroll.
How about that?
[intense drum music]
Sorry I'm late.
You okay?
Yeah.
You sure.
Yeah.
[Youcef] Are we good?
Yeah. We're good.
Okay, good. Trucks coming in 15 minutes.

[suspenseful music]
[paper crinkling]
Youcef Had dad.
H-A-D-D-A-D.
[Call Center Rep] Address?
1087 Van Nuys Boulevard.
Can you tell me if there's
been any activity on my
business account in the
last 48 hours, please?
[Call Center Rep] Is this a shared account?
Yes, it's the shared account. Khalil.
[Call Center Rep speaking indistinctly]
He did? Okay.
No, I don't need to.
Thank you.
He robbed me before I could rob him.
You should go.
Hey.
It's going to be okay.
Twice in one week.
You hit the same store twice in one week
even after I told you the rules?
Oh, so this is my fault??
He was going to do this to you all along.
[Youcef] I don't know about that.
- I do know.
- I don't know.
Yeah, you put up with his shit.
You didn't fight back soon enough
and you let him take
advantage of you, okay?
Who's fucking fault is that?
Hey! Hey, did you fucking hear?
Did you hear? I just lost everything!
I am have nothing! Two
years of fucking work!
Yeah. Okay.
Come on, please. Get the fuck out, please!
Hey, careful! Nice.
[Youcef panting]
[Youcef scoffs]
Where is he?
Santa Clarita with the
Armenians, Robert and-
- Yeah?
- Mm hmm.
Is he there right now?
Let's go talk to him.
It's a different situation
now. I need to think.
Is it? Explain it.
He's not alone and these
are very serious people.
No, no.
We're serious people. Okay?
He should be scared of us.
Motherfuckers will just
keep taking from you
and taking from you until
you make the God damn rules yourself.
That's what this is about.
Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
Now, you told me I was going
to get a cut and I want my cut.
So let's go right now.
Right now?
He thinks you're a pushover.
He's not expecting you to fight
back. That's an opportunity.
You're a very bad influence.
[suspenseful piano music]
What's up? You're working on your day off?
[papers shuffling]
[phone vibrates]
[bag shuffling]
[edgy rock music]
[Youcef] What was it for,
your assault conviction?
It was just a guy I was dating
and we fought all the time.
One day, I just,
you know what my mistake really was though?
I didn't go far enough.
I didn't really scare him.
You know, 'cause if I had,
he would've never called the police.
Don't follow me to close.
[Emily knocks on door]
[door unlocking]
Hi, how's it going? Khalil?
What is this?
I got a order, food
order for Khalil Had dad.
Is this the right place?
All right. Just pass it through.
Yeah. I don't think it's going to fit.
It's a big order. Let's see.
[unzipping bag] Let me check it out.
Do you want me to just bring it inside?
No. No. Just-
Look, I got to go.
Okay, I got another order.
Okay. Hold on.
All right [zaps taser].

- [man groans]
- [flesh impacting]
- [man grunting]
Ah, What are you doing?
Hey, shut the fuck up
or I'll zap you again.
- No, no, no.
- Shut up.
How many people are inside?
- I don't know?
- How many people?
- I don't know, all right.
- [slaps man] How many people?
Six or seven! I don't know!
Where's Khalil?
In his room. I don't know.
I don't know what's going
on. I don't know anything.
Unlock the phone. Go ahead.
Okay. Just let me go, please.
All right, chill out. All right?
We're just going to park
your car down the street.
All right, you shouldn't have
been here. It's your fault.
Wait! No, no, no!

Okay, now you're going to do what I say
or I'm gonna slit your fucking throat.
Do you understand?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
[Emily] You took his money. Where is it at?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Where is it at? Tell me where it's at!
There's no money here.
What do you think, I
withdrew all that cash?
You can't do that!
Please, I'm going to bleed to death.
Tell me where it's at and I'll let you go.
There's nothing here! Go look!
You're crazy!
No, no, no, no, no.
I think you're lying, okay?
I'm going to count to three
and then I'm going to slit your throat.
One.
There's really nothing here. Okay?
Two!
There's no money here!
Three!
Okay, in the fridge.
There's cash in the fridge.
[Emily panting]

Call an ambulance.
I got you. Good, good.
You're all right.
Okay. Okay.
[door shutting]
All right, where are your keys?
Give me your keys.
What?
I need your keys.
[Youcef] I need a doctor.
I know, I'm going to get you a doctor
but I need your fucking keys, all right?
What happened to him? Did you kill him?
No.
Hey, stay awake. Okay?
I'm going to get you to a hospital,
but I need your fucking keys, all right?
[Youcef] What did we do? What happened?
Fuck [panting].
Fuck! Shit!

[Office Manager] Okay.
Okay, oh. Office
experience, which is great.
Okay.
So Emily,
I do see that you have something
on your permanent record.
Is that right?
Yeah. Yes, it is.
[Office Manager] Oh. We
haven't run a background check.
We don't usually do that.
Could you fill us in on the details?
Sure.
I have DUI, like, a misdemeanor DUI.
[Office Manager] What happened exactly?
I drove some friends home from a concert
and I ran a red light.
Everybody was fine, but-
[Office Manager] And you were intoxicated?
I was less intoxicated
than my friends, but yeah,
that's what happened, so.
[Office Manager] Okay.
So this is your official background check,
which I have read and
according to the state,
you were convicted of
aggravated assault in 2016.
Is that correct?
So, you do have all my information?
[Office Manager] Yeah,
yeah. I'm afraid we do.
Okay. Okay.
Why would you-
[Office Manager] Well,
[chuckles] if you want us
to be generous with you,
then you need to be generous
with us and be honest.
Okay?
Okay.
[Office Manager] This
is a very important job.
You'd be handling private medical files.
Right.
Right. You're right.
I'm sorry.
[Office Manager] Yeah.
Let's start over, okay?
Okay.
Can you tell us what
happened with the assault?
No.
[Office Manager, chuckles] No?
No. Why would you trick somebody like that?
[Office Manager] Oh! I did not trick you.
Yeah, you did.
[Office Manager] What I did is very common.
That's a very common technique.
Oh, is that right? So,
you do that all the time?
[Office Manager] If
people chose to be honest,
then I wouldn't have
to do that all the time.
Well, you know what? Fuck this.
I don't even want to work here.
[Office Manager] Emily,
I'm sorry you're upset but-
No, you're not.
Calm down, please.
I am calm.
And you asked me why I want this job
because I got $70,000 of student debt.
There's your fucking answer right there.
Yeah. You need to leave.
Yeah, actually. You know what?
Give me that too.
- Okay, fine. Thank you.
- Yeah, thank you too.
Excuse me.
[Cook] There you go.
Yo.

Two rice. Two veggies.
Okay, good.
Hey, yo! Emily, yo.

No, I just got off.
Do you want my shift?
My son has a baseball game in Glendale.

Yeah, [laughing] I know.
Yeah. So how are you?
What's up? It's been a minute.
Are you still doing portraits?
Yeah. Like, yes and no.

[Liz] Paint's expensive.
Yes. Yeah, I need a job.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
Like a real job, like a real job. Yeah.
Yeah. Just to like pay my loans and yeah.
So I might go back to Jersey
and live with my stepdad
for awhile and save money.
No. What?
Is that what you want to do?
No, but yeah.
Okay. What if I got you an interview?
'Cause I know that we're
hiring a graphic designer
and we're always hiring assistants.
Yeah, but I thought you didn't
feel super comfortable doing that.
No, I know. I know I
didn't but my boss loves me.
Like for real, she's obsessed with me.
Yeah.
She said I have to like
tell her about my record.
That's like the whole thing.
Yeah. No, let me talk to her.
I'll tell her we went
to art school together.
I'll vouch for you.
I mean, it'll be fun.
Really?
You're not going back to Jersey. Fuck that.
- Okay.
- Fuck that.
Thank you.
Of course.
[Emily] All right. Let's get a drink.
Yes. Are you drinking?
I'm drinking, but I don't know.
Yeah, I'll have wine. I'll take it easy.
- [Liz groaning]
- [fun hip hop music]
[party goers chattering]
Whoa!
Oh-

[camera flash shuttering]
[people chattering]
[laughing] This kid is really cool though.
He acting like he don't give a shit.
Man, he over here just [laughing].
[people chattering]
Who here has been a dummy shopper before?
Raise your hands but
only if you've done it.
You did?
Where? In L.A.?
Nah, Milwaukee.
[Youcef] Oh, Milwaukee.
What'd you buy, snow shoes?
Nah, like an iPad Mini. Two iPad Minis.
Good.
So for everybody else, listen up.
In the next hour, you will make 200 cash,
but you will have to do something illegal.
You won't be in danger.
You won't endanger another person,
but you will be breaking the law.
So if you're not cool with that, I get it,
and you can go with any time.
Can I keep going?
- Yeah, that's what we want.
- Uh huh.
Good.
Grab a card, please.
In a few minutes you will go into a store
and buy some merchandise.
Any of these flat screens is okay.
Just buy one and wheel it outside.
We pick up the merchandise and we pay you.
And that's it for today.
These are stolen, right?
The information on them is stolen. Yes.
What? Nah, man.
Fuck that. I can't fuck with y'all.
Okay.
Look, if you're not cool with this, great.
Take off and don't
bother calling the police.
We haven't done anything illegal yet.
They won't even show up. Okay?
[Man] I'm cool with it.
Wait, hold on. What's the problem?
No, it's just, how do
we know the cards work?
You don't. That's the hard
part, you have to trust me.
What if they ask for a driver's license?
Mm.
Is that you?
Let's make some fucking money.
[people chattering]
[lighthearted oldies rock music]
[suspenseful drum music]
[scanner beeps]
[card reader beeps]
[suspenseful drum music]
[receipt crinkling]
[wheels rattling]
Yo! Are you gonna pay for that?
I'm sorry?
I said, are you gonna pay for that?
I forgot. Sorry, man.
[wheels rattling]
[box shuffling]
[car door shutting]
Tomorrow you have the
option to do another job.
It's a little bit more complicated.
We'll text you at 1:00 PM, okay?
What do I have to do?
Kill someone.
Just kidding. We'll tell you tomorrow.
All right.
Wait. Don't you want to know
how much you get paid for it?
How much?
2,000.
$2,000?
We'll text you, yes? One o'clock.
Sure.
[relaxing classical musical]
[trunk slamming shut]
Right there. That's good.
I got it.
[car horn honks]
[elevator button clicking]
You text that number?
Yeah? Yeah.
For real?
Hey, did you do another job
for them, like, the next day?
Nah, but I was curious though.
I was
definitely curious.
Shit's broken or something.
[elevator button clicking]
[bags ruffle]
What's up? Want me to get it?
[Emily] Nah, I'm good.
- You sure?
- I'm good.
[bag unzipping]
[Javier] God, damn it!
[Emily] I got you.
I'm not trying to get fired.
Not on my [indistinct].
Shh, chill.
Are we supposed to eat this?
[phone vibrating]
Hey, what's going on?
[Liz] Hey. Oh, are you at work?
Yeah, it's fine. Did you talk to your boss?
[Liz] Oh, I'll call you back. Sorry.
No, no, it's good. It's cool.
[Liz] Okay.
Well, so we just hired
some people, apparently.
[Javier knocking on glass]
My boss is being super
weird right now and like-
Did you really talk to her?
[Liz] What? Yeah.
You think I'm lying?
No.
[Emily sighs]
[phone slams shut]
[phone bangs against trashcan]
[phone notification dings]
Oh, fuck.
[phone notification dings]
It's an hour away. So, I got to go now.
What are you talking about?
Wells Fargo is a half
order, you don't need me.
Nah, you can't ditch out
in the middle of lunch.
I'll throw you my delivery fee. Okay?
That's 30 bucks right there.
What? Am I driving your car?
I'll take you back to the
kitchen, you grab your car.
[car engines humming]
[dramatic piano music]
Whoa!
These are black cards. They
don't have limit, no limit.
And these, take these, okay?
Just listen to me and you'll be fine.
Do what I tell you to do.
Go to the Southeast corner of the Plaza.
You'll see a white door,
they'll buzz you in.
If you don't know
Southeast, use your phone.
It's just you.
Okay? Okay.
With a purchase of this size,
the bank will call the vendor,
but that takes eight minutes.
So once they run your card,
you have eight minutes to leave.
Eight minutes or they know it's fake.
How do I know this is going to be safe?
If you don't want to do it, don't do it.
Okay? It's up to you.
[birds chirping]
[shoppers chattering]
[door shutting]
[Emily knocks on door]
- Hey.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Good.
Come inside.
Please, come in.
Okay, so you want to test drive it, huh?
No, actually my boyfriend
drove it yesterday,
so I'm just here-
[man speaking foreign language]
Here to pick it up.
Oh okay. Sit down.
[Car Dealer speaking foreign language]
[man speaking foreign language]
So, you don't want to see the car, huh?
No. I don't need to.
He, like I said, he drove it yesterday, so.
It's a little unusual for someone
to buy a car without seeing it.
Mm.
Okay. Let's do it.
How do you want to pay for it?
Do you have a cashier's check?
Yes.
I've got.
Okay.
And-
And the rests of the card.
Okay.
Let me see your driver's license.
Sure.
[Car Dealer] Jennifer, huh?
Jen.
Okay. Just a moment.
Takes a few seconds.
It's taking its time.
[card reader beeps]
[paper ripping]
Please sign.
[pen scribbles on paper]
There you go.
Thank you.
Hold on a minute.
I need you to fill out this form.
This is a waiver that
states we're not responsible
for any mechanical issues after today.
Sure.
[Car Dealer] Take your
time. There's no rush.
We just got this car, you know?
Oh yeah?
Yeah, from Mexico. You don't mind do you?
No.
[laughing] Oh, but it's a nice car.
So your name was what,
Jennifer or Jen? Jen?
Sure. Yeah, Jennifer.
I like Jen.
Oh okay. You like Jen-
Yeah, Jennifer, no.
Jennifer makes you too old.
[Emily] Oh, we wouldn't want that.
Hey, get my number. That's the car.
You like it?
Yeah.
Get my number.
Yeah, I think I got his number too.
- There you go.
- Thank you very much.
Enjoy, yeah.
It fits you nice, huh?
- Yeah, yeah.
- You look nice, yeah.
Drive safe.
[engine turning over]
[man knocks on window]
Just one moment, please.
[man speaking foreign language]
Hey, we just need to go back to the office
for just a second.
Why? What's wrong?
Nothing. We forgot one thing.
It's just my fault.
You can't tell me what it is?
It's not a big deal, you know?
So just, can you turn
off the engine, please?
Turn off the engine.
Hey, hey! Don't [screams]!
[man grunts]
[man shouts in foreign language]
[car engine roaring]
[car engines roaring]
Pull over! Pull the fucking car over!
[tires screeching]
Fuck [panting].
Oh, what the fuck did I just told you?
- [pepper spray spraying]
- [man groaning]
[car tires screeching]
[Youcef] Hold on. What's this?
Oh shit.
[keys clinking]
Two grand. Let me see it.
Okay. Okay.
- Come on. Let's go!
- Okay!
What the fuck are you staring at?
Give it to me.
[Youcef speaking foreign language]
What happened?
Dude fucking attack to
me. What do you think?
Let me see.
No, don't touch me.
I just want to help, okay?
I thought it was safe.
That's why you paid somebody
else to do it, right?
Fuck off!
[helicopter rotors fluttering]
[Emily sobbing]
Hey. Are you okay, huh?
Hey, hey. Breathe.
It's okay. You're okay.
Okay, lean, lean forward.
Lean, lean, lean forward.
- Okay, good. Come on.
- [Emily coughing]
Okay.
Are you okay to drive?
[Khalil speaking foreign language]
[Youcef speaking foreign language]
You can't make money another way?
You can make money another way?
Make a left up here.
[Youcef] Here?
Here.
Okay. You're welcome.
Hey, wait, wait.
Do you want this?
Yes?
Yes. Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Is your face swelling?
What?
Your face? You need to put ice on it, okay?
Yeah, I know.
Right away.
But you need to use the ice cubes. Yes?
Yeah. You think, I
don't know how to do ice?
I did not say you don't, okay?
I could help. I could come up and help.
You want to help put ice cubes on my face?
Sure.
[ice cracking]
Here. Thank you.
Put it right on your face.
You don't have to do that.
I told you there isn't any left.
I know.
[Roommate's Boyfriend]
You got no other booze.
[Roommate] Excuse me, no. It's there.
[television broadcasting foreign language]
Excuse me.
Did you make these?
Yeah, a long time ago.
Check it out.
I'm going to buy this place and fix it up.
40 units, just like
this, rental properties.
My man, Rahad is going to sell it to me
after he's done renovating.
You're going to buy this?
[Youcef] I am.
How much is it?
It's a little down payment.
You make that much selling TVs?
Sometimes TVs, sometimes
other things as you know.
How much can one person
make if they did what you do?
What I do?
No, I was just wondering.
I mean, I already did it twice.
You could show me how to do it.
Why? What's in it for me?
I don't know, how about a free car?
[phone vibrating]
[Youcef speaking foreign language]
Here.
Keep it. Now you have my number.
Adios.
[metal clinking]
Hey, I'm sorry about yesterday. All right?
Did it go okay?
Marco wants to talk to you.
[knocks] Hey.
Yo, what happened yesterday?
It was an emergency,
okay? I'm really sorry.
Why didn't you call?
I should have.
Well, I got to cut your lunch Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday.
If you want to double up on nights-
What, what? Starting this week?
This week. Yeah.
No, you can't take me off the calendar
with no warning, Marco.
I'm sorry, are you an employer?
No, you're an independent contractor.
So quit talking like you got
rights and go back to work.
Oh my God, dude. We have rights.
Just because we're not employees-
Look, this isn't a union in house.
Call your shop steward then. All right?
You got a union shop steward, call them,
if not go back to work.
[lights flick on]
So I can give you numbers,
but I can't make cards for you.
I do not have the time.
But it's easy.
Watch.
Here's the numbers.
Here's the cards.
[machine clanking]
Okay.
Now, you scan the magnet.
[card reader beeps]
Now you try.
Fucker.
When you did it, it looked so easy.
[Youcef laughing]
Okay, wait, wait. Look, look.
Pull it hard like this.
[storage door rattling]
We sell to a couple of vendors.
They keep us on payroll like salary,
but you can sell online,
Craigslist, whatever.
Yeah, that's a bad idea, right?
I mean, none of this is safe technically,
but if you listen to exactly
what they say, you'll be fine.
Don't mess with ATMs. Okay?
Don't meet customers at your home.
And the most important thing,
don't go to the same store
more than once in a week.
You'll be dealing with lots of cash.
What do you use for protection?
Pepper spray.
No good. I got something for you.
Whoa, what do you mean?
What is that?
[zaps taser] This.
If you make less than
$5,000, keep it, you're done.
Okay. And what if I make more?
If you make more?
Yeah.
Then you hit me up and
we'll take things further.
[party goers chattering]
[door shutting]
[metal clanking]
Shit.
[machine lever engaging]
Hey, Michael, are you still coming?
So, it's $600?
Six? No, it's $300.
No, $600.
You said three online.
No, no, I texted you six. I'll show you.
$300.
For real man. We're in broad daylight?
Oh, what's up?
You gonna call the police?
I mean, we could just
steal the shit for free.
All right. All right.
[Buyer] $300.
Sure. No worries.
Come on, now. Where are you going?
Hold up. Hold up.
$600, yes or no?
$350. Hey, where are you going?
What else you got?
[high energy hip hop music]
[lever engaging]
[high energy hip hop music]
[bag zipping]
[high energy hip hop music]
[car door shutting]
Cool, man.
Thank you.
[high energy hip hop music]
[tape cutting]
[Emily blowing lips]
So, fucking insane.
It's like my favorite
color. You know it's green?
And so I thought, why
can't I have a color party.
You know what I'm saying?
Okay, so you got my email.
So you know everything you need to do.
The only thing is he's crate training,
so he has to sleep in the crate.
- Okay, got it.
- He doesn't like it.
But just, you know, shove him in there.
Hey buddy.
Hey, I'm sorry about the job.
[Emily] It's fine.
I can hook you up. I
know I can hook you up.
I just got to wait for
the right time, you know?
[Emily] Totally.
But we can talk about it when I get back.
Okay.
Okay. All right, baby.
Mama's gotta go to work.
I'm going to go to Portugal.
Yeah.
Love you.
[chuckles] I'm really gonna miss him.
[Emily] Aww.
And you too. I love you.
Thank you so much.
Okay. Be safe. Yeah, you too.
If he's bad, you know, you
just [slaps hands] smack him.
No.
[dog barking]
[door squeaks open]
Okay, I'm going to hook you
up with more numbers. Yeah?
Bigger accounts. Bigger limits.
Okay?
Okay.
[Youcef] Yeah?
Yeah.
Sit, please. This could
take a minute. Okay?
[keyboard keys clicking]
I like your office.
Oh yeah?
Yes. The Feng Shui, it's just-
[laughing] Yeah, it's good,
because I installed all the lights myself.
I did the lighting design.
- Oh, is that right?
- Yeah. Yeah.
It's good. [laughing] I like it.
Okay.
I fucking hate this place. I hate it.
But just a little more.
Well it's only temporary, right?
[Khalil speaking foreign language]
[Youcef speaking foreign language]
This is my cousin Khalil.
Khalil, this is Emily.
Nice to meet you again.
Nice to meet you too again.
Oh, she forgot her phone
at the meeting Thursday.
So, she came to.
You left your phone?
Yeah.
[Khalil speaking foreign language]
Just give me one second, please.
Yes? Okay.
I'm sorry I was late. Okay?
I'm gonna take you for a walk.
I'm going to feed you.
'Cause that's what I'm supposed to do.

Yeah. It's still available.
Yeah. I'm just in a
different spot right now.
8216 Core Team Place.
[dogs barking]
[phone beeps]
Hey, excuse me.

I mean, you know, we
drove all the way across-

Just stay right there,
and give me one second.
No, no. We came all across town, man.
And, you know, I just
want to get it and go.
One second.
[Chip] Is it right there though?
No, it's not. I'll be
right back, all right?
Let me give you a hand.
Yeah, I'll be right back, all right?
No, no I'm just giving you a hand.
[Emily's head bangs door]
[Emily grunting]
Stay still. Stay still!
You feel that?
Yeah.
We know what you're
doing? We know what's up.
You do what I say or I'll
slit your throat. Okay?
Huh? Yes!
[Chip] Okay? Do you want understand me?
Yes.
[Chip] All right. Where's the cash at?
I don't have any cash here. I swear to God.
Hey! Hey, hey, this could be super easy.
Just tell us everything.
That's all you got to do.
[panting] There's a safe in
the bedroom closet. All right?
Bedroom on the left, on the
right. Bedroom on the right.
[dog barking]

Oh, you look sexy.
Thank you. Hi, my baby!
I missed you.
Thank you, fuck, so much. How was it?

Oh, thank God.
He's normally such a fucking asshole.
Oh, not with me.

school together in the 973
and we went to art school together, so.

[Together] Newark
Okay. Well I'm scared now.

What kind of art do you do?
[Emily] Um.
Sorry, Liz told me you're an artist.
Oh yeah, no I, yeah, no.
I haven't done anything
in a long time art wise.
Oh, okay.
All right. What do you do then?
Credit card fraud.
[lively funk music]
Hey, are you Emily?
[Emily] Yeah.
There's a guy outside looking for you.
[party goers chattering]
Hey, I didn't think you got my text.
I wasn't far away, so.
Hello.
Hi.
This is my friend, Youcef.
Hi. Liz.
Oh, hello. It's very nice to meet you.
Thank you. Thanks for coming.
Liz, yes? Liz?
Yep.
Is it your birthday, Liz?

I'll be on the dance floor.
All right. We'll see you then.
Do you know all these people?
No, not really.
Nobody?
No. They all work with
Liz at the ad agency.
Do you want me to pretend
to be your boyfriend?
Sure. Okay.
Like this?
- [party goers chattering]

Hey, hey, hey.
Okay, so Sarah just put
in her two week notice.
My boss just texted me right now and asked
if I know anyone, like, this just happened.
Do you still want to interview?
Yeah. Yeah, definitely.

[door shutting]
Oh, they finished the painting.
Good.
See, what I want to do is
I want to shorten this wall.
Yes? Put the bar here.
So the living room and the kitchen
is like one big open space.
- Nice.
- Yes?
For all four units,
we'll do the same thing.
We're going to put this up.
Yeah, but do you own this place yet?
Soon.
Soon.
[Emily speaking foreign language]
[both speaking foreign language]
[Emily] Si.
Si.
Si.
So if you had some
money, what would you do?
Pay a loan?
Yeah, I would definitely do that first.
What about your art?
Would you do your art?
Yeah, I would make art for sure.
I would paint. I love painting.
It makes me happy.
What else?
I mean, I don't know.
I just want to be free, you know?
I just want to be able
to experience things.
I want to travel.
I want to live in another
country for awhile.
Like, I got a long list, like,
I really want to go to South America like-
[Youcef] So, go. So, go.
You can go.
Yeah, no. I can't just go.
Sure. Sure you can.
I did. I left my home and it was crazy.
Do you miss it?
Yeah, sure. Of course.
Now you're here.
Now I'm here.
I was hoping you could do
something for me like a favor.
- Yeah?
- I'd owe you.
I swear to God.
What is it?
Don't freak out, seriously. I'd owe you.
Okay?
Okay.
Say yes.
No.
Maybe you button up your sweater.
[Emily] Really?
Please, yes.
Hey, mama.
So happy to see you.
So, happy. Ma.
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
[Youcef] Three kisses.
[laughing] Ah, come on in.
[Youcef] Oh no, no, no, no, no, not this.
- Yes.
- No.
[Luna] Ancient Lebanon tradition.
Really?
No, that's Italiano.
She just wants to drink
that shit with somebody.
[laughing] That's not Lebanese.
[Emily] I'll drink with you.
[Youcef] Oh, of course.
He cannot drink.
He takes tiny little shit sips.
[laughing] I don't take little shit sips.
[Luna] Tiny little baby sips. I show you.
Tiny little baby sips?
Like this [hums].
[laughing] No ones' even said that.
[Luna And Youcef] Okay.
- Here we go.
- Here we go.
[Luna] One, two.
- You don't even do it!
- [Youcef singing]
Come on, one, two
[Youcef] Don't worry about me.
[Luna] One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
[all groaning]
- Ooh!
- It tastes so bad.
He buys me an apartment.
Have you seen much better than here?
I have seen, it's very nice.
He makes promise all
his life, now he does it.
He will become successful businessman.
I know this. I know.
He does what ever it takes. My Youcef.
So what do you do in life?
I'm not sure yet.
You don't know? It's okay.
You will figure out your
gift. God will give you gift.
My gift was making man.
Maybe, Emily the teacher.
Emily the mother. Emily the something.
[Luna laughing]
Very nice. Really nice day.
[Khalil whistles]
- Ah, mama. I missed you.
- [Luna exclaims excitedly]
[Khalil speaking foreign language]
I have more things in the
oven. Sit down, sit down.
[Youcef] I didn't know you were coming.
I'm just in a neighborhood.
I hold a video.
[Youcef] What's that?
Ah, show him.
Right there, huh? Same
store twice in one week.
So they put it on the website
like that. Linden police.
Did you drive your own car
with your own license plate?
[Youcef] I don't think it means anything.
No? Well, it's Emily, right?
Right.
If they find you, they
might find us. Understand?
Huh? Sure.
- You understand?
- I understand.
Okay. Look, maybe we go to somewhere-
No. You lied.
You told me it was a
one time thing with her.
Are you fucking her yet at least?
That's enough.
Okay. That's enough.
At least one of us is benefiting.
Excuse me?
Yes.
What'd you just say?
[Khalil] You cannot hear well?
Yeah, I heard what you said. Say it again.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
I like her. She has bigger balls than you.
I have wonderful things
for you to eat, eat.
[Khalil speaking foreign language]
What is happening that
nobody's eating here?
[Men] Oh, yes.
[Emily] Wow. Those look good.
I want people to eat and feel calm, happy.
Emily?
Hi. Hey.
Hey!
Oh! The blazer, bold choice.
Oh yeah. Is it too much?
- No, I love it.
- It's the only jacket I have.
[Liz] It's very 80s.
So this is how I do the scheduling.
It's just one Google doc
for the entire company
and basically it's open format.
So anyone can go in and make changes
but realistically nobody does that.
So I'm kind of in charge of
keeping everything on point
for about 50 employees, right?
I think it's 55 now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Including assistance
and everything like that.
So basically it's going
to be these six columns
that you want to make sure
that everything is correct.
This last column is going
to be the most important.
And by Friday, everything
needs to be pretty much set.
So you're going to need-
[Liz] Now, you're gonna kill the interview.
[Sarah] E-mail all the
bosses, CC every Assistant,
all that good stuff.
[Liz] Thank you so much, Sarah.
Yeah, of course you.
[Liz] I'm gonna miss you.
[Sarah] Oh, I know, I'm
gonna miss you guys too.
Hey, you want to get lunch?
Right now? Yeah.
Yeah. There's this ramen
place around the corner.
It is ruining my life. It's so good.
But I just need 10. So, I'll be right back.
Yeah, cool.
[somber piano music]
Hey.
Let's go.
What happened?
[Youcef] Let's go. Let's drive.
Hey, you're bleeding.
Here. There's some tissue in here.
[closes glove compartment] Drive the car.
[Emily] All right, fine.
I'm fucking done.
I'm done with Khalil.
So, quit.
Five months, five months!
He hasn't paid me a thing.
He's not paying you?
And now Rahad calls and tells me
he needs the down
payment for the apartment.
He needs it now, that there's a cash offer
from a Chinese company.
I tell Khalil, you know what he say?
You know what he say?
He says you work with Emily
now. Why you come to me?
So, look.
Listen, tomorrow, first thing,
I'm hitting the storage
units then the office.
I'm going to clean up
all the cash that's there,
then the bank account.
We have a business account.
I'm going to empty it as much as I can.
[Emily] Jesus.
Are you in?
Am I in?
We're working together.
Yeah, but that's like a
whole other thing. Okay?
I don't know if I could,
I don't even know what
you're talking about.
Even if I do this alone,
he's going to blame you.
How much do you want?
Oh my God. So you're just going to rob him?
Yes.
You take a cut.
All your debts paid.
You can travel. Get to
a new place, whatever.
But listen, if you're going to do this,
you have to be in for real.
For real.
- [birds chirping]
- [somber music]
[sheets shuffling]
No. Stay here.
No, I gotta go to an interview.
[dramatic piano music]
[workers chattering]
Hi.
Ah, there she is.
Hey, it's so great to meet you.
- Hi.
- Thanks for coming in.
Good to meet you too. Thanks for having me.
Ooh, I like your accent.
You're clearly not from the west coast.
No, I am from New Jersey.
[Alice] Where?
Bayonne
Hoboken.
Oh, nice.
[Alice] Yeah. Where'd you go to school?
HBS.
Junior Senior, Ninth and Clinton.
[Emily] Oh yeah. I know Junior Senior.
So you're familiar with the company.
I don't have to go through
the whole sales pitch.
So you left college before you finished?
Yes.
[Alice] Why?
I got a felony conviction.
So why didn't you go to school afterwards
or a community college?
I wanted to, but you know,
I had legal fees, and student
loans, and living expenses.
I had to take care of my
grandmother, so I had to work.
Okay.
All right.
So what we're looking for
here is a design intern.
Does that sound appealing to you?
Definitely. Yeah.
Good. Yeah.
Sorry. Is that a, you say intern,
is it a job or an internship?
Well, all my assistants are interns.
So is it, sorry. Is that a paid position?
Not at first.
The way it works is the
first five or six months,
you get to know the business
and if you do a great job,
then I'd love to discuss it with you.
Right.
Sorry. I'm just trying to
wrap my head around that.
So what are the hours?
Regular hours.
You do realize this is a
very competitive position?
Yeah, sure. I understand that.
What I don't understand is
how you feel so comfortable
asking someone to work without pay.
You know, when I was your age,
they told me all I
could be was a secretary.
Okay. But secretaries get paid.
[Alice] That's not the point.
Well, when you were my age,
do you have $60,000 of debt?
How about this?
When I was your age, I was the only woman
in a room full of men.
But you had a job.
Okay. You know-
You were getting paid. Am I wrong?
I don't have the time for this.
Clearly you're a bit spoiled.
Spoiled.
Let me be frank with you.
You don't belong here
because you think
everyone is out to get you.
None of us are out to
get you, especially me.
- Oh, Jesus Christ.
- I'm trying to help you.
This was a fantastic,
Liz. Thanks very much.
Thank you. No more talking, just leave.
Thank you so much for coming in.
Hey, if you want to tell me what to do,
put me on the fucking payroll.
How about that?
[intense drum music]
Sorry I'm late.
You okay?
Yeah.
You sure.
Yeah.
[Youcef] Are we good?
Yeah. We're good.
Okay, good. Trucks coming in 15 minutes.

Youcef Had dad.
H-A-D-D-A-D.
[Call Center Rep] Address?
1087 Van Nuys Boulevard.
Can you tell me if there's
been any activity on my
business account in the
last 48 hours, please?
[Call Center Rep] Is this a shared account?
Yes, it's the shared account. Khalil.
[Call Center Rep speaking indistinctly]
He did? Okay.
No, I don't need to.
Thank you.
He robbed me before I could rob him.
You should go.
Hey.
It's going to be okay.
Twice in one week.
You hit the same store twice in one week
even after I told you the rules?
Oh, so this is my fault??
He was going to do this to you all along.
[Youcef] I don't know about that.
- I do know.
- I don't know.
Yeah, you put up with his shit.
You didn't fight back soon enough
and you let him take
advantage of you, okay?
Who's fucking fault is that?
Hey! Hey, did you fucking hear?
Did you hear? I just lost everything!
I am have nothing! Two
years of fucking work!
Yeah. Okay.
Come on, please. Get the fuck out, please!
Hey, careful! Nice.
[Youcef panting]
[Youcef scoffs]
Where is he?
Santa Clarita with the
Armenians, Robert and-
- Yeah?
- Mm hmm.
Is he there right now?
Let's go talk to him.
It's a different situation
now. I need to think.
Is it? Explain it.
He's not alone and these
are very serious people.
No, no.
We're serious people. Okay?
He should be scared of us.
Motherfuckers will just
keep taking from you
and taking from you until
you make the God damn rules yourself.
That's what this is about.
Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
Now, you told me I was going
to get a cut and I want my cut.
So let's go right now.
Right now?
He thinks you're a pushover.
He's not expecting you to fight
back. That's an opportunity.
You're a very bad influence.
[suspenseful piano music]
What's up? You're working on your day off?
[papers shuffling]
[phone vibrates]
[bag shuffling]
[edgy rock music]
[Youcef] What was it for,
your assault conviction?
It was just a guy I was dating
and we fought all the time.
One day, I just,
you know what my mistake really was though?
I didn't go far enough.
I didn't really scare him.
You know, 'cause if I had,
he would've never called the police.
Don't follow me to close.
[Emily knocks on door]
[door unlocking]
Hi, how's it going? Khalil?
What is this?
I got a order, food
order for Khalil Had dad.
Is this the right place?
All right. Just pass it through.
Yeah. I don't think it's going to fit.
It's a big order. Let's see.
[unzipping bag] Let me check it out.
Do you want me to just bring it inside?
No. No. Just-
Look, I got to go.
Okay, I got another order.
Okay. Hold on.
All right [zaps taser].

- [flesh impacting]
- [man grunting]
Ah, What are you doing?
Hey, shut the fuck up
or I'll zap you again.
- No, no, no.
- Shut up.
How many people are inside?
- I don't know?
- How many people?
- I don't know, all right.
- [slaps man] How many people?
Six or seven! I don't know!
Where's Khalil?
In his room. I don't know.
I don't know what's going
on. I don't know anything.
Unlock the phone. Go ahead.
Okay. Just let me go, please.
All right, chill out. All right?
We're just going to park
your car down the street.
All right, you shouldn't have
been here. It's your fault.
Wait! No, no, no!

Okay, now you're going to do what I say
or I'm gonna slit your fucking throat.
Do you understand?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
[Emily] You took his money. Where is it at?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Where is it at? Tell me where it's at!
There's no money here.
What do you think, I
withdrew all that cash?
You can't do that!
Please, I'm going to bleed to death.
Tell me where it's at and I'll let you go.
There's nothing here! Go look!
You're crazy!
No, no, no, no, no.
I think you're lying, okay?
I'm going to count to three
and then I'm going to slit your throat.
One.
There's really nothing here. Okay?
Two!
There's no money here!
Three!
Okay, in the fridge.
There's cash in the fridge.

I got you. Good, good.
You're all right.
Okay. Okay.
[door shutting]
All right, where are your keys?
Give me your keys.
What?
I need your keys.
[Youcef] I need a doctor.
I know, I'm going to get you a doctor
but I need your fucking keys, all right?
What happened to him? Did you kill him?
No.
Hey, stay awake. Okay?
I'm going to get you to a hospital,
but I need your fucking keys, all right?
[Youcef] What did we do? What happened?
Fuck [panting].
Fuck! Shit!
