Midas (2024) Movie Script

1
- Hi Ricky, good morning.
- Good morning, I had a
snack pass delivery order for Maria.
- Sure, let me check.
One moment.
There we go.
Thank you.
I gotta hustle,
yup, I gotta hustle
Fight for the money,
knowing that I cause trouble
Can't get the steak,
I ordered a McDouble
Exercise the
mind till I get muscles
Long nights
and early mornings
When I'm
performing, I put my all in
Life will trip
you up with no warning
Know my
enemy's blood is boiling
My heart is
pouring, it punch like four men
I sacrifice
for my offspring
But I can't help
it if I do the wrong thing
The man of the
house gets exhausting
I noticed the
part that we can all sing
So come on
Yo.
What's this?
- Best eats in the city.
No delivery fee.
Yeah, I
said I walk this way
Cause
I'm born this way
Going for it
all, I don't stop midway
Life give me
yarn, I make crochet
And food for the
soul is best homemade
I don't got a
master's or bachelor's
But I master
the craft, I'm ecstatic
Be smart when
the money comes rapid
You don't think first
and you do the most damage
When the weight of
the world's on your shoulders
Can you manage
Yes ma'am,
say the word greatness
And I
know I'm destined
When the chips fall
down, we gon' pick you up
It may hurt but I
never let it hinder us
Please get out the
way cause I'm in the rush
Yeah, aye,
try and live it up
Yeah, aye,
I'm tryna live it up
- How'd it go?
- It was alright.
Passed out all the flyers,
but not a lot of tips.
How many orders?
- Just three so far.
- Okay.
How you feeling?
- You know,
not great.
- No, you can't cancel
tomorrow, the money's all set--
- I didn't say that.
These are good to go,
the addresses are on the lid.
- How about Destiny takes them?
I'm supposed to be
meeting up with Victor and Suni.
- I'll take them.
- Your sister is not going out there
alone on a learner's permit.
It'll take you half an hour.
And I'll make extra
for Victor and Suni.
Alright...
Don't catch an attitude with me.
- I'm not.
- Damn,
I missed your mom's cooking. Mhm.
- Yo, how much do we
owe you for this?
- Oh no, you good.
- Nah, come on.
Let us support.
- Nah, they're leftovers man.
It's cool, it's cool.
- On the house then.
- Thank you.
So when are
you starting at Midas?
- Today was my
first day, actually.
- What? How was it?
- It was good.
You know, it's the mailroom,
so it's a little slow.
- Yeah, for sure, for sure.
So what about
you, Mr. Facebook?
When are you going to Cali?
- You know, I'm waiting a beat,
helping my mom buy the house here.
and working remote to start.
- Yeah, how long?
- I'm not sure, at least
until the end of the summer.
- Okay, cool, cool, cool.
-So...
What are you
doing tomorrow afternoon?
- Just working, probably.
Why?
- You should come to
this party with us.
- Party. Who's throwing it?
- My friend Claire,
for her graduation.
- Ah. Nah.
I'm working tomorrow.
- Come on, you're always working.
- Please...
I'm going to be the
only non-Ivy Leaguer there,
and they all start
talking about what house they were in.
- Ah, so you want me to
come and be the dumb dropout?
- No, you know what I meant.
- No, no no, it- it's...
It's okay.
Yo, if you don't
want to come, it's fine.
I was going to introduce
you to somebody, but it's cool.
- Introduce me to who?
- Nah, that's your loss.
- Introduce me to who?
- Why don't you
come and find out?
We'll pick you up at at four.
- Alright, alright.
- And...
Dress to impress, yeah?
- Alright, I'll think about it.
- Hey, where's mom?
- Asleep in the living room.
- I'm awake.
- How'd it go?
- Good.
- Have you eaten anything?
- No, I'm not hungry.
- How long's she been asleep?
- Since we got back.
- Don't worry about it.
- I'll be out in a sec.
- No, Mom, relax.
Keep resting.
- Do we have any orders?
- Uh, I don't think so.
Let's take tonight off.
I made $80 in tips today.
Is it cool if I go
out with Victor and Suni?
I told him I'd help
them out with something.
- Of course.
Tell them I said hi.
- Okay.
- What's up?
- Wow, did you
buy that last night?
- Y'all said, "dress to Impress."
-Alright.
If anyone asks, just
tell me you were in Adams House.
- What does that mean?
- You'll figure it out.
- Did you go to Yale as well?
- No, I went to Holy Cross
for health care administration.
- Oh, good for you,
and what are you doing with that?
- I'm working at
Midas for health insurance.
- Fantastic.
- Hey. Nice shirt.
- Hey, thank you.
- Good for you.
We'll give you some time, that's great.
- Thank you.
- Fuck Harvard.
- 'Scuse me?
- I just had a
tickle in my throat.
Bold move, by the way.
- Oh, no, I'm just
wearing this so I won't be
mistaken for the help, that's all.
- I see you
were admiring the art.
- Yeah, you know, I
actually have ones just like this.
- Oh, do you?
- Yeah.
- You think you didn't
strike me for a giant vase type?
- Really?
- Mhm.
- Well, you know what they say.
Don't judge a
book by its cover, right?
- Do they say that?
- Yeah, they do.
Um, I'm Ricky by the way.
I'm a friend
of Victor's who I--
well, who I
think knows someone here.
- I'm Claire.
- Claire.
Ah, so this- this is all you.
- Yep, don't
judge a book, right?
- Right.
- So were you looking for somebody or--
- Nah, actually, I was
just looking for the bathroom.
- Oh...
Well, you found it.
- Touche.
- Come on, I'll
show you where it is.
It was my grandfather's
originally, and when he passed,
We kind of just took it over.
- For sure.
- Where are you guys headed?
- I was actually just showing
Ricky where the bathroom is.
Dad, this is Ricky.
Ricky, this is my dad.
- Nice to meet you, Ricky.
- Ricky actually
just graduated from Harvard.
- So I see.
Congratulations.
What house?
- Excuse me?
- What house were you in?
- Uh, Adam's house.
-No Kidding...
I'm Adam's house, class of 87.
- What?
Wow, that- that's crazy.
That's a small world.
- And what was your major?
- My- my major
uh, was Healthcare Administration.
- Oh, really?
- Mhm.
- I didn't know we had a
healthcare administration major.
- You know,
it's a pretty new one.
Uh, merging healthcare with
the pre-med track, and
with Administration,
you take classes in both, so...
- Oh, okay.
Well, I don't know
if Claire told you,
but I'm CEO of
Midas
Health Insurance.
- Please stop.
- My mom...used to work there.
- "Used to?"
Well,
I hope I didn't fire her.
- No, no, no.
She passed away.
- Oh.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
What was her name?
- Mia.
Mia Pryce.
- I think I remember her.
She was an amazing woman.
So what are
you doing for work?
- Dad...
- You know, just
applying for stuff.
- Why don't you
come by my office on Monday
and we'll find you something.
- Can we not right now?
- I'm sorry.
I don't wanna...
- Ricky, you're a triple threat.
Adam's house,
Healthcare Administration,
and we're always
looking for diverse talent.
- You can't just like say that to people.
Maybe he doesn't
want to work for Midas.
Did you ever think about that?
- Ricky, would you be
interested in a job working at Midas?
- I mean, I'd be interested in any job.
So if you have something.
I could apply for it.
- Great. I'll see you on Monday.
- Thanks, dad.
- Go Crimson.
- Go Crimson.
- I'm sorry.
You told him what?
- Victor said if anybody
asked, say Adam's house, right?
- I didn't know.
-All right.
- And where did
Healthcare Administration come from-?
And you're mom?
- Okay, look, first,
Obviously I had a
little bit too much to drink.
Second, I panicked.
And then third, what
did y'all want me to say,
The truth?
Oh yeah, you know what,
You did fire my mom.
And I had to drop
out and take care of her.
But hella nice crib though.
- Hey...
There you are.
- Congratulations.
- Oh you too.
It's so good to see you.
- You too.
- Hey, congratulations.
-Glad you could make it.
Oh.
Sorry.
- Uh, we were
just hearing about you
introducing Ricky to your dad.
- Oh my God, again,
I am so sorry about him.
He's just the worst.
He tried to bully
Ricky into taking a job at Midas.
- I'm sorry.
-You okay?
- He what?
- I know, isn't
it so embarrassing?
It's like...
- What's embarrassing?
- Well, just...
You know, just him assuming
everyone's willing
to sell their soul.
I feel like our generation's
really realized that
there's more to the
world than money, right?
- You should tell it to
my student loan collector.
- So...
Ricky, you gonna
go work at Midas now?
- First Healthcare Administration
and now working at Midas.
It's almost like you're
trying to steal my identity.
- Or you're stealing mine...
- What would the job be?
- I mean, he didn't
say anything specifically.
He just said that I could
come in and apply for something.
- Oh, are you going to?
- I mean, it
doesn't hurt, right?
- Right.
- Sure.
- Hey, how's it going?
I have a meeting with
Gregory Brents at three o'clock.
- I.D.?
- Fill this out, thank you.
Yeah...
I have a gentleman
here by the name of Ricky Pryce.
He says he has a
three o'clock with Mr. Brent.
Alright, thank you.
Alright, let's go.
Follow me.
- Ricky, come in.
This is Tom, my nephew.
Tom, this is Ricky.
- Pryce.
- Ricky, you thirsty?
You want a scotch?
- No, thank you,
I just had some water.
- I'll have one.
- That's Adams house.
Class of 87.
- Oh, wow.
Yeah, I have
one just like this.
- Have a seat.
Tom?
So, look, I was hoping to
have more options for you here,
but unfortunately, we don't have
many openings at the moment.
But...
I promised you a job,
and I'm a man of my word.
So...
Tom has an opening
as the Claims Department Coordinator.
It'll be a good opportunity
for you to
get a lay of the land.
Tom can mentor you, and
when something else opens up,
you'll be in a good position.
- I don't get to choose
my own assistant?
- He's got a
Harvard diploma and a pulse.
What more do you want?
- I'd be more than happy to be
a Claims Department Coordinator.
- It's a great chance
to get your foot in the door.
My first job was as
a coordinator, essentially.
- Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
- Is that all?
- Yes.
Show him around,
and then send him to HR.
- Thank you. Again.
- No problem.
- Alright. Welcome to claims.
- Um, could you elaborate
on what we do exactly?
- They don't teach
claims review at Harvard?
- Uh, not really, no.
- Well, lucky for
you, it's very simple.
When a policyholder has
a claim for a doctor's visit,
prescription, or
procedure, it comes to us.
No, again.
At this point, we have
an automated system that reviews
the majority of these claims.
If they're reoccurring,
small dollar amounts, et cetera.
But sometimes
the system's not sure,
so those cases
get sent here for review.
- So, as an example...
- As an example,
you're a policyholder with us.
Let's say you get leukemia.
Your doctor wants to try
some new experimental treatment.
The bill is $350K.
It comes into
our system, gets flagged.
Karen here... Hi, Karen.
Does a quick review.
Maybe calls the company
and either approves or denies it.
- You said $350K?
- Yeah, Experimental treatments
can range anywhere from, what, $100K,
to a million bucks.
- So, what do I
do as a coordinator?
- Oh, well,
whatever I need you to do.
Data entry,
scheduling, coffee runs...
Iced, black. Write that down.
- Oh...
- I'm kidding.
I'll probably give you
some of the small dollar claims.
This is your desk.
You should be the first
one in and the last one to leave.
- Can I ask you what's the pay?
- $40,000-plus benefits, but HR
will explain all of that tomorrow.
- Can other people be
covered by my insurance?
- Do you have kids or a spouse?
Then no.
Make sure you bring
a passport or birth certificate
with you to HR tomorrow.
- What about my transcripts?
- This isn't grad school.
Nobody cares
you went to Harvard.
- Thank you.
Again. See you tomorrow.
- You fill out an application?
- Yeah, I actually got a job.
- Congrats.
- Yeah.
- Doing what?
- I don't know
they said,
It's like a claims
coordinator or something.
I don't know what it
means, but your boy is in there.
You good?
- Yeah, I hear you
have a date with Claire today.
- Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I'm excited.
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
Wait, I got it.
- Too late.
So how'd the meeting go?
- I...
Think it was pretty cool.
I think I got a job
working for your cousin.
- Oh, good luck with that.
Tom's...
- Yeah, I can tell.
So what about you?
What are you doing for work?
- Oh, careful. You're
already sounding like my dad.
No, I'm uh-
I'm working for Senator Peters.
I'm an intern
on the healthcare policy team.
- Okay, yeah.
That sounds cool.
So you're keeping it all
in the family business.
- No.
More like trying to
take the family business down,
Princess Leia style.
- Okay.
- So how'd you get into
Healthcare Administration?
- Yeah, my mom-
she was really into it
and she worked at
Midas for a long time.
- Oh, what was she like?
- My mom.
My mom,
she was incredible.
She was always
taking care of people.
A really big role model
for me and my sister.
- Oh,
how old's your sister?
- Ah, she's 16.
Yeah, so
I'm taking care of her now.
- Wow, that-
That sounds like a lot.
- I mean,
we get along pretty well.
and this job will help,
so...
- Well I'd love to
meet her sometime.
- Depends on how
you do on a second date.
- Who says you're
getting a second date?
- Were you at
the game sophomore year?
- The game sophomore year?
- Okay, okay,
so Victor and I
are together right
before the Saybrook Strip,
and Victor is blackout
drunk, like lights on, nobody home.
He gets up on the wall,
there's like a line
of cops behind him,
and he just starts
slapping his ass.
And this cop is yelling at
him like, "Get down! Get down!"
Can I have
another one, please?
- Sure.
- So, Ricky, how's the job?
- Yeah, no, it's great,
I love it.
- Have you figured out what
'Claims Department Coordinator' means yet?
- I have, I have actually.
You know, I just sit
there all day and approve or den-
Well, honestly, I just approve
most of the claims that come in.
I figure if they ask,
then they must need it, right?
- Putting that
Harvard education to good use.
- You know, can I have
one of those too, please?
- Mm.
- Ma.
Ma?
Destiny, I'm home.
Ma, you in there?
- I'll be out in a second.
- You okay?
- I'm fine.
- I just need a second.
- Hey.
- I'm fine.
- Where's Destiny?
- She went to the
movies with some friends.
- I'm sorry. I just-
I kept getting deliveries and I...
- Relax. It's okay.
- What's this?
- The bill from today.
- At the bottom. Your
doctor's recommending surgery?
- Yeah.
- And what else did he say?
- He said the chemo
hasn't been very effective.
That I should get the
surgery before it's too late.
- And what did you tell him?
- Told him it's too expensive.
- How much is it?
- $44,000.
- Okay.
We can do that.
You know, that's-
that's the price
they give you as a starting point.
And you can
negotiate down from there-
- No. I asked.
That is the lowest price.
- Okay. That's fine.
I-
I've been making
a lot more money lately.
We'll make it work, okay?
I promise.
- Ricky.
A word please.
Now.
What can you
tell me about Ms. Diaz?
- Ms. Diaz.
Oh, she takes levothyroxion.
- And can you tell
me why you approved
her prescription
renewal for levothyroxine?
- Yeah, because she needs it.
- She needs it.
- Yeah- I'm sorry. Um-
Her doctor prescribed it.
- Turns out
she does not need it.
Because she's dead.
- Oh.
Could we cancel it?
- We already have.
But only because her
daughter called us this morning
asking why we were
sending an insurance statement
to her dead mother.
- Well, like you said,
it seems like
everything is fine now-
- No,
everything's not fine.
I pulled up your stats.
You have the highest approval rate
in the
department by nearly 10%.
- Well, thats-
- That's...
Not a good thing.
- Right.
- I don't know if
you're being lazy, or just careless,
but both are a problem.
I realize a $200
claim may not seem like a lot but
believe me,
it adds up big time.
- I'm- I'm sorry.
Uh-
It won't happen again.
- Great.
'Cause if it does,
I'll have to explain to my uncle
why I'm reopening the position.
You can go.
- What happened?
- Nothing. Uh-
I was just trying to fix
my mistake and
deactivate her policy.
- Only admins can do that.
And I already fixed it.
- Okay. Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Where's Claire?
- I don't know.
I, um...
I told her I was going home.
- Oh...You okay?
- So, I need your
guys' help with something.
- Okay.
- What is it?
- So, I may have
figured out a way
for Midas to cover
my mom's treatments.
- Really? That's great.
Like, they're gonnna
put it on your insurance or...
-Not exactly.
- Basically, her policy
is still in the system, right?
And it can be reactivated.
- You're talking
about insurance fraud-
- Listen, all we
need to do
is we need to get onto
Tom's computer, right?
And then Suni, you show me
how to access it, and then
Victor comes, hacks in, and
wipes all the evidence.
Easy.
- That is truly the
worst idea I've ever heard.
- Like, do you just need
some extra money or something?
I thought you were
making way more at your new job.
- It isn't enough.
- How could it not be enough?
You're making twice what
you were making last month?
- My mom's doctor...
said the chemo isn't working.
She needs surgery.
- Well, how much is it?
- Forty-four thousand.
- Okay.
Well, there are ways to do this
without committing a crime.
Uh, we could do a payment plan...
- Or,
we could do a GoFundMe page.
- No-
Who do I know that's
going to donate that much money?
- Claire.
Okay, right.
- Look, I thought about this.
This is the best option.
The only option.
- Okay, but,
but Ricky, this is-
this is different than
you know, faking a resume,
or lying what school you went to.
Okay, this is a real crime.
You'd go to jail.
- If you guys don't
want to help me, that's fine.
That's fine. No it's fine.
I understand.
Okay?
I can do it myself.
- Excuse me.
Uh...
Could you help me
find Karen Bryant?
I have a package for her.
- Up there on the right.
- Sorry.
Could you show me?
I've been looking
for like five minutes.
- Okay, okay.
- Ricky.
- Hey.
- What's on your plate?
- Nothing, just trying to
keep that approval rate down.
- Clever.
- Yo, thank you.
- That was stupid.
- Then help me.
Please.
- Alright.
If we're going to help you,
then we'll need to
come up with a much better plan.
- Okay.
- Step one,
we'll need to find a time when Tom is
out of his office for at least an hour.
- Maybe during lunch.
- He eats lunch in his office.
- So we'll give
him a reason not to.
Then we'll need
to borrow his wallet.
- Take a shot.
- Why can't we
just prop the door open?
- Because we need
Vic to get in there.
It just takes
a delicate...
touch.
- You lying.
- We'll also need
his computer password.
- Which we can get if
Ricky can switch out his
keyboard for an
identical key logger.
- Also,
the stupid dual authentication
kicks in after 30 minutes.
- Which brings us
to our next challenge,
figuring out how we're
getting Vic into the building.
- Hi, I wanted to
order some flowers.
- Once Vic creates the claim
on Tom's computer,
I'll need access to a second
computer in order to approve it.
And then the final step
will be recruiting some accomplices
to help us
pull off the surprise.
- Sounds like a plan.
- So, um,
one more thing.
We were thinking...
Even with the insurance reactivated,
there typically are a
lot of out-of-pocket expenses
with these
types of surgeries.
- You know, because
she'll have to stay
in the hospital for a while.
She won't be able to cook.
- Right.
- So, we were thinking,
it wouldn't be too
difficult to set up a second claim.
That pays out
to a fake company,
and Vic could
cover our tracks
to make it look
like a totally normal claim,
so we wouldn't
get caught.
- For how much?
- $300,000.
And maybe I could have
some for my student loans
and Vic could have
some for his mom's house.
- You know, that's not why we're doing it.
- Right.
- Obviously,
we want to help your mom,
but this was
just another idea.
- Let's do it.
- Yeah?
- Yeah?
- Yeah!
- I mean, I'm the
one with the job, so...
- You can pay next time.
- Can I ask you a question?
-Mhm.
- Where do you get money from?
- What do you mean?
- I mean like...
gas, food, cell phone.
Your internship,
it's volunteer, right?
- Yeah, I mean,
I babysit sometimes, and...
..My parents pay for some of my bills.
You know, they're thinking
of opening up
a paid policy
position at the office, so...
..Maybe I'll apply for that.
- That'd be cool.
- Do what you're passionate
about, and money will come, right?
- Yeah.
For sure.
- Come in.
- Hey, do you happen
to drive a white Lexus?
- Yeah, why?
- As I was pulling in,
another car was
coming down, and he wasn't
paying any attention,
so I might have
clipped you a little bit.
- Jesus Christ
- It's okay, uh,
you know, my insurance
covers it, so we should be good.
- Would you like to
come and take some pictures?
- Oh, I would love to go take...
..pictures.
I'm uh...really sorry,
again.
- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
- Oh, come on. You didn't think
I actually hit your car, did you?
Thank you.
- Come on.
- Yeah, thank you.
- Happy birthday.
- Yeah, I'll call you back.
- Happy birthday.
Ricky wanted to
organize a little surprise.
- Did he?
Well, mission accomplished.
I am definitely surprised.
- Alright.
Shall we go to lunch?
- Yeah. Please.
- Ricky's paying, right?
- You in a rush?
- Ah, nah,
just enjoying the day.
Ready to get some lunch.
You?
- Good, good.
- Yeah?
- Ready to buy lunch.
- Yeah.
- Hi fellas, how are ya?
- Good afternoon.
- We have a reservation under 'Pryce'.
- Absolutely. It's right here.
Just give me one moment.
- Thank you.
- Happy birthday.
Hey.
- Hey.
What are you doing here?
- My dad invited me.
I took the afternoon off.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- Why didn't you invite me?
- Right this way, everybody.
- Oh, Ricky.
You going to sit over there?
- Uh...
Actually, I got to use the restroom.
Be right back.
- Suni...Suni.
Suni!
- Why are you back here?
-Claire's here.
- What? Why?
-I don't know.
Her dad invited her.
- Well, you had to get rid of her.
- I can't get rid of her.
Come on.
- Then we have to abort.
They're not going to
recognize me, but she definitely will.
Uh...Hi.
Excuse me.
Could you please take
this out to table six for me?
Sorry, there's just an ex out there.
I'd rather not.
Thanks.
- Okay, listen, listen.
I'll get rid of her.
Just wait here and wait for my signal.
Okay?
- What are you going to do?
- Improvise.
-Improvise.
- Right jacket pocket.
Hey.
- You good?
-Yeah, I'm good.
Hey...Thank you.
You can pass that
one to Tom.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Alright, and here you go.
I'm so sorry.
- I can get you a towel.
- No, it's okay.
I need to go dry off.
- Would anyone like
anything else to drink?
- I'll have an Oban. Neat.
Um, how about you, birthday boy?
I'm buying.
- Great.
Oh, I think I'm going to land on the...
- He'll have the same as me.
- I'm good with just the water.
Thank you.
- Water. Thank you.
- Water's fine. Thank you.
- Yeah. Same here.
- Two Oban's, neat.
- Actually, could I have the table back?
Turns out it wasn't him.
- Uh- sure, I guess.
- Thanks.
I have two Obans.
Neat.
- Try not to spill as well, please.
Wait.
Are you going to take our food order?
- Oh. Uh-
I'm just a runner.
Your waitress should
be back shortly.
- Hey.
All dried off?
- Not exactly.
- Actually, I changed my mind.
You can have the table back.
- Hi.
I have a delivery for Tom Brent.
- All right. Um-
- Oh, I do too, actually.
- Okay, well, sign in here.
And IDs, please.
Thank you.
- I have a delivery for Tom Brent.
- You got to sign in.
- Tom Brent?
- Do you actually have
a cold place for this?
It's starting to melt.
- No, we don't.
Tom Brent?
Look, hold on a second.
All of you guys have deliveries
for Mr. Brent?
- Yeah.
- Okay. Um.
Follow me and let's go. Okay?
Alright. pack in. Let's go.
Alright, pack in. Be careful.
Um, I think you might
want to get the next one.
- Next one?
- Yeah.
- Twenty-five seconds.
- Not helping.
Nice.
- Five, four, three, two, one.
We did it.
- We got it, we got it.
- We did it.
Hey good luck.
- You too.
Okay. Let's see what you got.
- So, Ricky.
How do you like
your new boss?
- Um...
He's great.
I can honestly say he's
the best boss I've ever had.
- A much nicer toast
than I'd ever be able to give.
To my nephew, Tom.
The best boss Ricky has ever had.
- Cheers.
- Here here.
- Um- I'm sorry. I got to take this.
Excuse me.
- Hello?
- Yo, what do you
know about Project Foresight?
- I never heard of it. Why?
- When I try and reactivate
your mom, I'm getting a
Project Foresight error message
asking for additional diagnosis info.
- Ask Suni.
- I've never heard of it either.
- I don't get it.
It never asks me for a diagnosis.
- No. This looks-
This looks like an admin level thing.
- Okay. So, can you
just skip the question?
- Mm-mm.
We need to do
admin override.
- Okay. So, just do that.
- I tried, but our time's up.
We need to dual authenticate again.
- Alright, alright...
Okay, okay, okay.
We'll go 60 seconds for my mark.
- What are you going to do?
- I'm gonna improvise.
- He's going to pour water on him.
- I'm not going to pour water on him.
All right. 60 seconds.
Starting...now.
If this doesn't work, run.
Mhm.
Tom, do you have any pets?
- Uh, just a dog.
Lafayette.
- What kind of dog?
- Lafayette is a purebred
French bulldog.
- No way. I have a French bulldog.
- Since when?
- Um, technically, he's my sister's.
Do you have any pictures?
- Uh, yeah.
Yeah, we've got a couple of them.
- Lafayette.
Let me see if...
- Oh, he's gotten so big.
- Thank you.
Oh, yeah, wow.
He- He's a real cutie.
- Thank you.
Do you uh...
Do you have any
photos of your little Frenchy?
- Oh, no.
I don't think so.
I'm not that big of a
photo kind of guy.
- Oh. Learning a lot
about you today.
- Hey, Karen. I think I have
some seaweed chips for you.
- They're a day late.
- I think they were lost in
the mail room. Sorry about that.
- Excuse me!
- Are you okay?
- A rat or something
has eaten through this.
- Oh, my goodness,
- Is it in there?
- No, but I can see the
hole that it came through.
- Do you see it anywhere?
- No, but what about my chips?
- What about them?
- You guys are gonna
give me a refund, right?
Because this is clearly your fault.
- Oh.
Yes.
Um...Absolutely.
You'll just need
to talk to my manager first.
You should go to
her now with the evidence.
- Alright.
Well, I need to get back to the office.
- Um, hey, would you all like to
go get some ice cream?
- I know this
great place around the corner.
- I think I've had
enough ice for today, thanks.
- Yeah, I'm all set,
but thank you, Ricky.
- Excuse me, sorry.
- Hey mail girl.
The mail's here. Just to let you know.
- Okay, great. Thank you.
- Hello.
- Where are you?
- I'm just finishing up in the office.
- What?
He's in the elevator right now.
Uh...Okay, I'm leaving.
Get out.
- Happy birthday.
MOUSE!
- To Ricky.
- To Ricky.
- For a great idea.
- Come on.
It was your plan.
- Oh, no. I wasn't
giving you credit for the plan.
Your plan was terrible.
- Routing and account
numbers are on there.
The money should be
in there next week.
- Okay, you know what?
Can I get another
round of shots, please?
And can I also order some food to go?
- What would you like?
- Ah, you know what?
I'll take the three most
expensive entrees, whatever those are.
Appreciate it.
- What are you doing?
- Man, I'm celebrating. Come on.
It's not like we can't afford it.
- Ricky, we-
- Come on.
I'm not going crazy.
Let's just take these
24 hours to celebrate.
- No, Ricky.
- No.
Okay, what she's saying is
that we have to be careful, okay?
When people come into a lot of money,
the most common mistake they
make is they spend it all right away.
It makes it way
more likely they get caught.
- Okay, okay.
So what am I supposed to do?
- Just chill.
Act like everything is the same.
- Okay, fine, I got you.
I can do that. Be chill.
- Here.
Thank you.
All right.
Chill.
- Chill.
- Chill.
- Mm.
- Alright.
I gonna go to the bathroom.
I'll be right back.
- Hey, be careful with that.
- Hey, chill.
- You chill.
- So are you going
to tell him, or should I?
- I think it's a bad idea.
- We can't just not tell him.
-We don't
even know if it's anything yet.
We can investigate, but there's
no point in riling him up until then.
- Let me see the paper again.
- No.
Let's just enjoy tonight, okay?
We can do our research.
We'll figure it out.
I promise.
Please?
Please?
- Here, try the garlic bread.
- I'm going to have to
start the meals in a sec.
We got a lot of orders tonight.
- Ooh, I don't think
I can do tonight.
- I have a date.
Maybe Destiny can take them.
That's why she got a license.
- No.
It's already dark outside,
and there are too many orders.
- Okay, so let's just
cancel the orders for tonight then.
- Sweetie.
I know I ask a lot
of you, more than I should,
and you've been
working a lot of hours lately,
and you deserve to go out on a date.
I don't want to
stop you from doing that,
but we need the
money from these orders.
This dinner is delicious,
but we can't afford this.
- We don't actually
need the money.
Um-
I got a job.
At Midas.
And this dinner is to celebrate.
- You got a job at Midas?
When?
Why didn't you tell me?
- I- I just got it,
and it's only in the mail room.
Sunita helped me, actually.
I didn't know if you would.
- Sweetie...
I'm so happy for you.
This is great.
- I know how things ended.
-No, no, no, no.
- It's all part of
the Lord's plan, right?
Now you're there, and...
I'm so happy.
Um...
This makes this
dinner that much better.
- So, who's your date with?
- Uhm...
Her name's Claire.
- Do we get to meet this Claire?
- Maybe.
We're still in the early stages.
- Maybe?
- Okay.
- See that? That's a strike!
- Nice.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Alright, well,
it's your turn, so...
- You take it.
- Look, are you okay?
- Said I'm fine.
- If it's about the water being
spilled on you today at lunch, I'm sorry.
Total accident--
- My dad's making me quit my internship.
- What?
- He told me after lunch.
Says it's bad optics for the company.
- Okay, wait. How can he
make you quit?
- He's claiming he's gonna
cut off my phone, take away my car.
- So he's trying to ground you.
- Oh, and kick me out.
I don't understand
how you can work for him.
- Wait, I'm not working
for him. I work for Tom.
- Tom, yeah, because that's so different.
You know, you told me
that you wanted to help people,
but it really seems like all
you guys do all day is just deny claims.
- Okay, let's...
Let's just take a breath, okay?
Like...
- No, I've been thinking.
I think you should quit your job.
Quit my job?
- Yeah, you went to Harvard.
You don't need to
work at Midas for the money.
You can work anywhere else for the
same amount and not sell your soul to them.
Come on, you're a good person, Ricky.
You can do good things--
- I'm doing good. I have the
highest approval rating in claims--
- Stop with the
"fix it from the inside" bullshit.
- No, and I'm helping support my family.
That's something you know nothing about.
I mean, you have the luxury
of doing what you think is right.
- Okay, yeah, my life's perfect.
- It is. Okay, you don't have to worry
about your cell phone bills, the gas bill,
or even paying for
my mom's medical bills.
At the end of the
day, you have your dad.
And if you needed the money, he
would have a trust fund waiting for you
and your kids
and a house on the hills.
That's your privilege.
I don't have that.
- So, yeah, money may
not be as important to you,
and man, that must be nice.
But don't try to
come at the rest of the
world just because
we're not so fortunate.
- I wasn't trying to say that.
-You know, I have to say it.
I-
You know what?
Tonight's date's on me.
- For Tom.
Hey, Karen. Do you know
anything about Project Foresight?
- I've never heard of it.
Why?
- Uh...Nothing,
just some lost mail.
Something to do with
Genetic Tree, I think.
- Genetic Tree? You mean like
that company with the cheesy ads?
- Yeah
- Don't know anything.
Sorry.
- No worries.
- Oh, there were those tests we took.
What was it, like five years
ago for Christmas?
- What tests?
- You know,
those DNA ancestry tests.
Not the best Christmas present,
if you ask me
but apparently I'm 3% Japanese.
Which is how I
got started on the chips.
- My uncle wants to see you.
- Ricky, come in.
Want a scotch?
- No, thanks. I'm all set--
- I'm kidding.
Hey, do you play any golf?
- No, not really.
- How would you like to play
this afternoon? I'm a good teacher.
- Yeah, sure. Well, what time?
- Don't worry.
I'll let your boss know.
How do you like working for Tom?
- It's great.
Yeah,
It's great.
I'm learning a lot.
- Can I be honest with you?
I think your talents
are wasted in claims.
You're overqualified.
But you knew that
when you took the job.
We've got a new
position opening up.
It comes with a raise
and real responsibilities.
I think it might be a good fit for you.
- What do you know
about Project Foresight?
- Oh, I don't think anything.
Should I?
- No. We've kept it
pretty much under wraps.
A couple years back, we came
up with a really revolutionary idea.
What if we bought
policyholder bio data, DNA and
paired it with our exclusive access
to patient diagnosis and outcomes?
We found that with most costly cases
that had underlying genetic risk factors,
we were able to predict
outcomes with nearly 80% accuracy.
Sometimes months or even
years before official diagnosis.
- That's incredible.
- The project's been in a
pilot phase for the last few years,
but we're getting ready
to roll it out company-wide.
And we need to hire a project manager.
- I mean, it sounds great.
Policyholders must love it.
- Ricky, you understand
that information is used
strictly for internal purposes, right?
- Right. Then why do we do it?
-The same reason
actuaries make so damn much.
To identify and mitigate large payouts.
- "Mitigate?"
- Terminate policies when possible,
raise premiums otherwise.
Ricky, you see how valuable this is?
- We're predicting diseases
and denying their coverage.
- Don't be so dramatic.
Make it sound like
we're murdering people.
For most people, we're
just asking them to pay a fair rate.
Any terminations are usually
picked up by government coverage.
- And that's legal?
- It's a...bit of a gray area.
But we're working with
Congress to clear that up.
You know, I also lost
my parents at a young age.
It's not easy, but...I think it
makes us stronger, hungrier.
This is an opportunity to
take a management position
barely two months in.
Most kids your age would
kill for an opportunity like this.
- No, I appreciate it.
It sounds like a great opportunity.
- So you're interested?
- Of course, very interested.
- Great. We can keep talking
about this, but in the meantime,
you can't talk about the
project or the job to anyone.
It's highly confidential company IP.
Covered under your NDA.
- Of course.
- Not even Claire.
- Gotcha.
- Ricky, this is Michelle
and Stacy from Genetic Tree.
- Like the DNA test.
- That's us.
- They're also the main providers of the
bio data we use for Project Foresight.
Ricky may be
joining the project team for us.
- That's great.
- Ricky, why don't you lead us off?
So, do you guys mind
talking business on the course,
or would you rather wait until after?
- Well, as long as you're
coming up to $5 for a policyholder,
I have no problem
talking about it anywhere.
- Okay. How about this?
Ricky and me versus you two.
If we win, we stay at $180 million.
You win, we go to $200.
- Mmm...
- This is Ricky's
first time swinging a club,
swear to god.
- Oh, please.
- Alright, Ricky.
Show us how it's done.
No pressure.
Nice, easy swing,
just like we practiced, okay?
Fore!
Looks like you'll be getting your $200.
- Mmm. Mhm.
- Hey.
- Where you been?
- Just losing Midas $20 million.
I was playing golf with
Mr. Brent. It's a long story.
- Yeah well makes $300,000 seem not so bad.
- Come on.
- So uh.
We have something
we need to talk to you about.
- Yeah?
- Give it to him.
- What's this?
- It's just a theory.
- They're the files that
Midas has on your mom.
He found them when he had
to do the override on her account.
I know it sounds crazy, but...
..we think that Midas knew
your mom was sick,
before she was diagnosed,
and that's why they fired her.
- It is just a theory.
I had to leave Tom's office
before I could find more proof.
Say something.
- He just offered me
the job as project manager.
- He what?
- Mr. Brent.
He just offered me the job
to this Project Foresight.
They want to roll it
out to the whole company,
and that's why we were playing golf
with the CEO from the Genetic Tree.
- Does this mean he found out about us?
- No. I don't think so.
He was just offering me the job.
- Well, you don't think he
made the connection with your mom?
- Nah, he still thinks she's dead.
- Why would he offer you a promotion?
- That's not really important right now.
- The real question is...
..what are we gonna do?
- We expose them, obviously, right?
I mean, if they're going to
expand this, it has to be illegal.
- Yeah, but with what?
- This!
- A single piece of paper
that's directly linked to the
$300,000 that we stole?
- So, we give the money back.
I mean, we can't just
let them get away with this.
- Even if we did give the money back,
they could still charge us with a crime.
- Listen. It has to be other
files like this one, right?
Of other people?
- A whole database. I just
couldn't access it from Tom's account.
- So we steal those
before I get the job
so they can't connect us--
- Hold on, you're taking the job?
- Well, not anymore, but I--
- If I'm going back, I need at
least two hours and full admin access.
- You can get admin access
from Mr. Brent's computer.
He keeps the password
on a sticky note.
- Hold on. It's a
billion dollar company.
There's no way
his security is that weak.
- See, but that's why it is.
You see, they probably
make him use some
super secure password
that he has to
change every three months, and
that's why he can't remember it.
- Okay, and, and the dual authentication.
- No, he doesn't have it.
I watched today.
- Okay, but getting into his office will
be a lot harder than Tom's.
He has a secretary and security,
and janitors are up there after hours.
- Ooh, Friday night!
The company gala!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I am not missing that gala.
It's all anyone's
been talking about.
- Exactly.
The whole company will be there.
- That sounds like the perfect time.
- Alright, guys.
- Can I get a drink?
Hey, can I talk to you for a second?
Um, okay.
Look, I know what we said was-
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- I know what we said was
a lot, and...
Can I take this?
I'm sorry. I gotta take this.
Hey, give me some good news.
- I got bad news, man.
I can't find any of it.
- What do you mean?
- I mean, the database
is gone. I'm looking
to see if they moved it, but I'm
finding nothing.
- Do you need to be on Tom's computer?
- No.
I have access to all
the files, but there's nothing here.
I'm-I'm-I'm positive I'm the
same place I was last time.
- Well, look, again, it has
to be there somewhere
Go back to my
mom's files, maybe, or...
How- uh, okay.
I'll keep you updated.
- Okay.
- Ricky!
There you are!
We've been looking all over for you.
- Who?
- I've been telling her what a great
job you've been doing.
Mia! I found him!
- Hey!
What are you doing here?
- Figured it'd be good
to get out of the house, right?
- But who invited you?
Where's your air?
- Don't worry. I'm fine.
It's over there.
Honestly, I don't even need it.
- Okay. I-I think we should go home.
What are you talking about?
I'll explain later, but I really think
we should get out of here--
- No!
- Don't tell me you're headed out?
Mia, such a pleasure
to have you back with us.
- Of course. Thank you so much
for inviting me.
It's been great getting to see
everybody again.
- Do you know Claire?
- It's nice to finally meet you.
I've heard so much about you.
- Ricky's been doing a great job
for us in claims.
- Chip off the old block.
- I thought you said
you were in the mail room?
- Um- No, no. Remember mom?
I'm the claims coordinator.
- Would you mind if I stole Ricky
just for a moment?
You all can catch up.
- We have some things
to discuss, don't we?
First, what did you
do with your mother's files?
- Nothing.
- The ones you printed out?
Does she have them?
Did you show them to Claire?
- Look, what you're doing is illegal,
but I didn't show them to anyone.
I have them right here.
- In a few weeks it'll be totally legal,
and you're in no position to throw stones.
Second question,
who else helped you?
- No one helped me.
- Oh, come on.
Your mom, disgruntled ex-employee
talks you through
reactivating her insurance,
creating fake claims.
- She would never agree to any of that.
You-you heard her.
She thinks I work in the mail room.
- Everything you've said to me
for the last two months has been a lie.
- I'm not lying, okay?
She doesn't know any of it.
- I guess it
really doesn't matter.
- When did you find out?
- About your little embezzlement scheme?
This morning.
I invited your mother as
an insurance policy, so to speak.
- But you haven't--
- Called the cops?
No, not yet at least.
I haven't decided.
Here's my only offer, alright?
So listen closely.
Starting on Monday, you'll
be reassigned to the mail room.
That should be easy
enough to explain to your mother.
You'll earn minimum wage,
and you will never say the words
"Project Foresight" ever again.
Oh I understand,
given your mom's history,
you might be inclined to
anonymously leak something to the press.
Well, I've learned my lesson.
And I've moved the project
off our servers, far from
anywhere you can access them.
So understand...that if
so much as a word
of this project gets out,
I'll assume it was you.
And the statute of limitations for
First-degree insurance fraud doesn't
expire for another fifteen years.
I will personally see to it
that you spend as much time
behind bars as possible.
I assume you still have at
least some of the money you stole?
Good.
Whatever you don't have will
come out of your weekly paycheck.
With interest.
- Will you...
still help pay for my mom's surgery?
- Why on earth would I do that?
If I were you, I'd be hoping it's
quick and painless,
so you can move on with your life.
You have potential,
college degree or not?
It's a shame you'd be
wasting it in the mailroom.
Do we have an agreement?
Great. I gotta take a leak.
- Can you please explain
to me what's going on right now?
- I promise I will
talk to you and explain
everything later,
but now it's really not a good time.
- Are you kidding me?
- I promise we will talk
later, but have you seen Suni?
- Why is your mom here?
- Yeah, Mr. Brent invited her.
- What?-What are you doing?
- Improvising.
I need you to steal a laundry cart
and meet me by the elevator
in three minutes, okay?
Just trust me.
- Okay.
- Hey, meet me on the corner of
Pratt and Columbus.
Don't be late.
- Make sure it's done
and meet us by the pier.
In here!
- Did you kill him?
- No, he's just unconscious, okay?
Help me put him in the cart.
- This is your idea of improvising?
- Look, I have a plan.
Just help me get him in the cart
and we can get him downstairs.
- No, explain to me what happened.
- He caught us, okay?
The money, the payments,
he even moved the files somehow.
If we don't want an end up in jail,
I need you to trust me.
- You want me to trust you,
but you're asking
me to commit a felony.
- We already committed one.
Okay, so who's another one, right?
- For the record,
I hate when you improvise.
- Just keep walking, just
keep walking, just keep walking.
Okay, okay.
- You brought her into this?
- Can you just trust me?
I needed the car.
- What about Vic?
- He's gonna meet us at the pier.
- Wait, the pier?
- It'all a part of the plan.
Can you pop open the trunk?
- Okay, wait,
can you explain what the plan is?
- Just help me lift
him and put him into the trunk.
- Who is that?
- This is my boss
and my girlfriend's dad.
Look, take that bag out of the trunk.
- Did you kill him?
- No, he's fine.
All right, thanks,
I'll see you home later.
- Wait, no, you are not leaving me here.
- Okay, fine, drive,
but no talking.
- Does she even have her license yet?
- Yes, she got it last week.
What are you doing?
Come on, get in.
- No.
- No?
- No.
Look, the money
was a mistake, all right?
We got too greedy, but
this, this is just taking it too far.
I'm not a kidnapper.
- Suni, if we're gonna
get out of this, I need your help.
- We're not getting out of this, okay?
We committed a crime and we got caught.
This is only
making it worse.
- He's the one that committed the crime?
You saw the paper.
My mom, the whole company, what?
- I saw one piece of
paper, and even if it is true,
it doesn't justify
whatever you're about to do.
I'm out.
I'm sorry.
- Suni.
- I'm sorry.
- Sunita!
Come on, let's go.
- How do you think
we're gonna get him to confess?
- He's a rich white man
who's scared of
homeless guys on the street,
just trust me.
- What the hell?
Hello?
What is this,
some sort of hostage thing?
Tell you right now,
you're not getting any money.
- We don't seek money
we seek information.
- Information?
What information do you think I have?
Wait,
hold on a second.
Is this Ricky?
- We'll ask the questions.
- I'm not playing your stupid game.
You wanna ask me some questions?
Come down and do it face to face.
I gotta say, a couple hours ago,
I thought you were pretty smart.
Embezzlement, extorting me,
that's white collar crime.
- Then you pull this shit.
- This is very simple, okay?
I already have the
files, the emails, and the--
- You're lying.
I moved them all
off the server this morning.
The only records you have
are your mom's.
- No, I'm not.
Now, all I need is a confession,
so I can gift wrap it for the FBI.
Or...
- Or what?
You give me a bath?
Huh?
I was captain of the swim team,
and you couldn't afford duct tape.
I'm gonna have you
arrested for this shit.
And the fraud.
Maybe I'll have
your mother arrested too.
And when she gets
out, if she's still alive,
I'll sue both of you
for every cent of your worthless lives.
You're so scared.
You can't even hit me.
Come on.
Give me your best shot.
It'll make you feel better.
- Come on, come on.
- What the hell is going on?
- Ricky.
Jesus Christ, what are you doing?
- Do you have a lighter?
- Ricky, you need to stop.
Stop!
Suni called, she's on her way here.
- I can't just let him walk, okay?
Do you see what he's doing?
What he's done?
- I understand.
I understand he's got
blood on his hands- your mom's.
- But we're not gonna set him on fire.
- I won't need to.
- Ricky, we're not murderers.
- I'm not gonna kill him.
- Well then stop!
- No.
- Ricky, if you
walk over there, I'm leaving.
I'm not gonna be a part of this.
- That's fine, Victor.
I don't need you to be.
- Please.
- Start talking.
- Oh, whoa, what
the hell are you doing?
- I'm no use to you on fire.
Alright, fine,
what do you want me to say?
- We have the databases and the emails.
Just explain what they are.
- There are no databases.
You have no databases.
- I have it, and if I were you,
I wouldn't be arguing right now.
- Fine.
- What the hell is happening?
- What does it look like?
Your boyfriend kidnapped me.
Help untie me.
We need to leave.
- Leave?
We're calling the cops.
- I need to get to the office.
We can call the cops from there.
Come on.
- Stay here.
- No, no, I'm coming with you.
- I don't need your help.
- That's not what it looked like.
We're going upstairs,
and then we're calling the cops.
- Whew.
I'm getting pretty good at this.
- Did it work?
- Oh yeah, I think so.
I'll send it to you now.
How's Ricky?
- Hey, I'm okay, I'm okay.
How did you do all of that--
- I improvised.
- She came up to me after
you left, explained everything.
Sorry about your head.
- It's-It's okay.
Um...I'm sorry for lying to you.
- Yeah, we'll talk about that later.
And you should have
just gotten it.
- Yep, it looks like it's all in here.
Thank you.
- But seriously,
thank you again.
We could not have
done this without you.
- Glad I could help.
He deserves it.
- Gregory Brent.
We'd like to ask you some questions
about a Project Foresight.
Ricky Pryce?
We'd like to ask you some questions
about where you were last night.
- He was with me.
- It was all here yesterday, okay?
$300,000, I saw it with my own eyes.
- You should have seen him
going through your computer himself
trying to find that payout.
Eventually they had to drag him out.
- I'm not gonna lie,
I really thought I left some record
and we were all gonna get busted.
- Nah man, i'm tell you,
I had faith in you, I had faith in you.
- Oh, what'd you
end up telling your mom?
- The truth, minus the money,
and the payouts.
- So nothing.
- Hey, she took it
better than Claire, so it's cool.
- Oh, Claire didn't
want a data college dropout?
What a shocker.
- Oooh, nah,
actually, it's a little bit
more than that.
And she did give us
an alibi for the night, so.
- Hold on, she only helped us
because I asked her to, don't forget.
- Team effort, come on now.
- Team effort, you're right.
- Yeah, I was gonna say.
- Okay, and, when are you hearing back?
- You know, they said that the lawyers
will have a settlement
by next week, so,
Midas don't wanna go to court.
- Did he say how much?
- He thinks they'll
offer $300,000 at least.
- Okay, well,
what are you gonna spend that on?
You know, besides your mom, of course.
- No, yeah, I was
thinking I could go back to school
and use the rest of
the money on plane tickets
to visit you in Cali.
- You know, actually,
you won't have to.
I think I'm gonna stick around.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Why?
- Someone's gotta stop
your horrible ideas.
- Speaking of which,
I need your guys's help with something.
- Uh-uh.
- No.
- Where you going?
- I'm out.
- Vic?
- Bro.
- No. Nah, bro.
Sorry.
- Bro, bro, bro,
Where you going?
Where you going?
So y'all gonna
make me do this by myself?
