You can't come to Atlantic City
and not gamble once.
I can because I didn't come to gamble.
I came here to see Cirque du Soleil,
which you love.
The trampoline lady was fun,
the rest was kind of creepy.
Here. Come on. Come here.
One bet. Just for fun.
So you can say you gambled.
Where'd you get this?
- Throw it right there.
- Yeah.
- One bet.
- Yeah.
- Here? Okay.
- Okay? Yeah.
- Yeah?
- Good, go. Come on.
Come on. Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
Oh, no.
- Baby, you lost.
- It's fun.
- No, have this one.
- You wanna know what else is fun?
What?
Why don't you come to the room
and let me show you?
Mm.
Okay.
- Yeah? Come on.
- Okay. Okay.
Come on, Mike.
Mike!
Ma'am, seat back up, please.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are now beginning our descent
into the Orlando area.
- Buzz!
- Yeah.
On it.
I got a text. Clock starts now.
We should have
the truck hooked up in a minute,
then on my signal you can yank her up.
Let me know. You got an hour.
Should be plenty.
Might even be enough time left over
to pull up that Porsche.
It's pronounced "Porsche."
- A lot of Americans say it wrong.
- I've always wanted one.
As soon as we have that gold,
I might buy myself one.
Gold.
What?
That's what's in this truck?
- Gold?
- No.
Just talking shit.
I do that.
Suddenly, my thousand bucks
doesn't seem like so much.
What are you doing?
Um, this is fine. Yeah, I don't care.
He keeps running away.
Yeah, like I said, it's whatever. I
He has dementia.
So people say I should put him somewhere
but I can't do that
because he's my dad, so
So I have to bring him to work with me,
but he runs off,
and he doesn't know where he is.
And at least this way,
I get to spend time with him, you know?
Which is nice.
Get in that crane.
- I mean it. Go on.
- Oh, yeah.
Right after we discuss my deal.
I said get in.
You don't scare me.
Just get your fucking boss
up here to talk a deal.
Before I call the pol
That sound like a gunshot?
Damn it, Buzz.
No.
Sorry, where's the bathroom?
Yeah, ladies' is busted
but men's is that way.
Sorry, chief. He was gonna call the cops.
- It's okay.
- It's okay?
- It's okay.
- It's not.
I wanted new alligator boots
and an airboat.
Now I'm never getting
boots and an airboat.
- Would you shut up?
- Hey, hey, hey.
You were in a hurry.
You wanted to be in charge.
You wouldn't listen to me and here we are.
- Crane operator?
- Yeah. Used to be.
Well, that's a problem.
- None of us can operate a crane.
- Not the problem.
It's a problem.
A man is dead.
That's what we need to deal with.
At least the body's gone.
Oh, shit.
So much for a series of misdemeanors.
Baby, don't you know
I'm liking your style? ♪
Want me to take him
to the place?
What place? You have a place?
There's no place.
Too far. I don't want you
driving around with a dead body.
I can dive down and put the body
in the trunk of the Porsche.
- What?
- That's how it's said.
It's a good idea.
They pour concrete over it in a few days.
I hate to give up the car,
but I feel a little responsible.
A little?
Take the truck to the guy
and do the thing.
What? You have a guy and a thing.
But you don't have a place?
You know what? Do that.
I'll go get stuff to clean this up.
What are you gonna do?
Buy some rags?
Are you gonna tell me how to do this, huh?
Fuck!
Come on.
Why?
Why?
You okay in there?
Yeah, just praying, uh for guidance.
Hello?
- Call me back. I'm watching my TV show.
- Then pause it.
My TV doesn't pause.
Yes, it does.
I have another thing for you to check out.
I'm retired.
You know what that is?
It's where I don't chase bullshit stories
about yellow trucks.
Yeah. Sorry about that.
Not everything is a thing,
but you and my dad go way back.
I loved that man.
I know.
But you are not that man.
I swear to Christ I'll never
hit you up for anything ever again.
What am I doing?
Finding Mike Valentine.
- Who's done what, exactly?
- Not answer my calls.
Maybe he's trying to watch his TV show.
Just find out what he's up to in Florida.
You're already down there.
Don't move.
I didn't wanna wake you.
I'm just borrowing stuff
to clean up a spill.
You'll make it worse. Go.
I'll come to your room. Go!
But it's not in my room.
Damn it.
I knew when I saw you, you'd be trouble.
It's not your trouble.
- It's my trouble, I'll take care of it
- You'll use my things?
You'll leave something on them
the police can trace to here.
No, I clean up messes.
That's my job.
So
how much you pay me to clean up yours?
Buzz, cover the feet.
- Oh, shit.
- Definite felony.
Don't move. Don't fucking move.
Units responding to wellness check,
possible elder abuse
at the Church of the Revelation.
Use caution,
the location abuts the sinkhole.
Shit. Delly.
Hi.
What's going on?
Your girl made
a concerned citizen 911 call.
Now all the cops are over at that church.
And not on us.
It's a smart move.
You okay?
Yeah.
Who the hell is that, Mike?
She's a cleaner. She cleans.
Okay? Pay her in cash.
Who's that?
A child molester.
I'm alive ♪
So alive ♪
I'm alive ♪
Whoa, whoa.
- Wait. Wait. Is that?
- What?
- I don't know, a little piece of?
- Oh. Oh, God. No.
I talked to my sister.
She wants to visit and bring her dog,
but I don't want it peeing
all over the house again.
What do I tell her?
Andy?
- Hey!
- Hmm?
Sorry.
- Your sister's peeing where now?
- I need to push you in the ocean.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm tired. I was up late again
with this case I'm obsessing over.
I just know Mike Valentine was there,
and Sonny is lying to me about it
like he's covering it up.
You're not gonna go after Sonny.
So why don't we enjoy your day off, okay?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
You think I won't cross Sonny Valentine?
Oh, no.
Just that's not been the arrangement.
There's no arrangement.
There's an understanding
of the expectations of how things will be.
Okay, that is the actual definition
of "arrangement," but okay.
You know, he knew I was honest
when he hired me.
He said he liked that about me,
and he never put me in this spot,
not ever.
He acted like I was a son. Almost.
Now here he is talking to me
like some asshole cop.
He's only thinking about himself.
He should treat me like a son.
You've met his son.
Sounds like he is.
Only two days until
the big Longwood sinkhole is filled in,
and at 5:00
Dad? Dad?
Uh-oh, rain is coming.
Marty Chet has you covered, after this.
There's a brand-new miracle
sweeping the country, and that's
Mike, hey. Kaitlin Fox.
No need to call me back
on that ambulance story.
I checked with the Department
of Transportation where you do not work.
So now I have a different story
and it's you.
See you later.
Was that Miss Larson,
my 10th grade history teacher?
Yeah, we're gonna cook up
a couple lobsters tonight.
No, you're not cooking up any lobsters.
We have this other thing.
Not tonight. Sinkhole's not gonna be
filled in for a couple days.
No, Dad. No, I don't care. I want it done.
Let me ask you something.
I bet when you were a cop,
you were the first one through the door.
Usually. Yeah.
- Ever get anyone killed?
- No.
You did now.
Your man pulled the gun, not me.
It was your plan. So why don't you
step away from the table,
and let me take a spin, huh?
May I speak?
- Sure.
- Is that okay?
- Oh, yeah.
- Good.
Right now that crane operator isn't dead.
He's missing.
Cops won't be looking for him
for 48 hours, which is tomorrow night,
which is why we need
to be out of there tonight.
Get it?
Airbags.
- Airbags?
- Like salvage divers use.
We float the truck.
We drag it to the church,
which is now unguarded
thanks to your girlfriend.
We offload it,
we take it back, re-sink it.
That sound like a plan?
- She's not my girlfriend.
- Outside of that.
Yeah, good.
There are floats on Gil's boat.
Give me Ray-Ray and his truck.
- We'll take it to the church.
- Whose boat?
Gil Franco.
The first guy who died for this gold.
If you think Gil Franco
was the first who died for this gold,
Miss Larson didn't teach you
too much history.
There you are.
I had the best day
at the flea market yesterday.
That lady with the paintings
had this sitting there.
Yeah, I bet she was a movie star.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
- Where'd you go?
- To see my dad.
Make a new plan.
You didn't think I should be there?
Well, you were asleep.
Yeah, but I do this thing
where I also wake up.
You were there in spirit, believe me.
He'd cut me out in two seconds.
Don't remind him
how much he doesn't need me.
He doesn't need me either, so
- Yeah, but he wants you.
- What?
He likes doing this with you. I can tell.
I'd like it better myself
if we'd stop killing people.
Yeah.
That part wasn't great.
No, it wasn't.
A man died, Delly.
A person died for what we wanted.
Actually, he died for what he wanted.
But, yeah.
Just one more day
and we're out of here, okay?
One more day.
Place your bets.
Nine!
Get your bets in.
- All right, bets in.
- Mike. Mike.
What are you doing out of bed?
What am I? It's 3:00 in the morning.
- What are you doing?
- I'm up.
- I can see that.
- I'm "up" up, like ahead.
Why don't you come back to the room?
- Be right up. I promise.
- Seven out.
Fuck. Okay. It's okay.
Mike, this was supposed to be
us getting away to have a good time.
- We are.
- One of us isn't.
A few more minutes.
I don't wanna be this person
who has to come down
and drag you out of a casino.
Then don't be.
Okay? Just one more bet. I told you.
Welcome to the Palm's, my friend.
- Checking in?
- No, no.
I'm looking for a friend.
Mike Valentine.
Yes. Room two.
- Would you like me to? Yeah?
- Gone.
- He checked out.
- When did he check out?
While you were at the store.
Yes. Yes.
I forgot you told me that.
He has checked out.
He's gone.
Say where he was going?
- No.
- No?
No.
Okay.
Thank you.
Why are we lying?
Because a friend of Mike Valentine
is not a friend of ours.
Hi!
Iris!
I brought you the chocolates you like
from Philly.
Patsy, why is Mike down here?
Work. You?
Same. He mention what kind?
No. What kind is it you're doing?
I'm investigating some trouble in Philly.
Worried Mike might have
brought it down here or followed it.
Tell me the truth. Is he in danger?
I don't know yet.
But these people he's working for
My murder victim was found
chopped up with a power saw.
Wounds were not post-mortem.
You know what that means?
Yeah, they sawed him up alive.
Yeah, so I'm asking if you can tell me
where I can find Mike
before he gets hurt.
He doesn't know you're in Florida.
Well, I wanted to talk to you first.
As someone who cares about him,
or as a cop?
As both, Patsy, I can be both.
Well, I can't.
Patsy, come on.
It was really nice to see you, Iris.
I mean it.
And thank you so much for the chocolates.
Hey.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry to bother you.
I'm looking for a friend.
Oh, a friend.
Mike Valentine.
No, sorry.
I guess I should've asked up front.
Okay. I hope you find your friend.
I use your bathroom?
What?
It's an old guy thing, prostate,
like the ads with the guy who has to miss
his grandkid's school play to go pee.
Those ads are really dead on.
Yeah, okay.
- Ah.
- Sure.
You're a lifesaver.
Tell your husband, "Don't get old."
Sorry?
Uh, I saw his shaving stuff.
I assumed.
But you're not wearing a ring, so
Oh, yeah, I take it off to go swimming.
Oh. Great idea.
- Have yourself a good day.
- Yeah, you too.
Mommy.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
You look like
you could use it more than us.
This is not who I am.
I was trying to do something good
for my kids.
My wife said I was working all the time
and never saw my kids
and they'd be grown up before I knew it.
That made me sad.
So I took some time off
because she was right,
you don't get that time back.
My dad was always gone,
but he sold typewriters.
Not just typewriters
That doesn't matter.
We came to Disney World.
Do you know how expensive that is?
Every drink comes in a collector's cup,
and you don't have to get that,
but of course you do.
But that's okay. My kids will remember
this trip their whole lives.
Maybe not for the right reasons.
I was just trying to be a good father.
Really, it's okay.
But you do need to leave now.
Thank you, ma'am.
Ma'am.
How are you set for change?
Goddamn it.
Goddamn it.
Goddamn it!
Hey, Patsy, what's up?
Thought you'd wanna know
your ex-wife came by.
She say why?
You.
Got it.
Um, I'm gonna come over. Okay? See you.
- Hey. Where are you?
- Iris is in town.
I don't know where she is right now,
but I just left Ray-Ray at the boat.
Get him away from there.
I have to go to Patsy's.
How hard is it to find one guy?
I even told you where he is.
Do I have to come down there
and do this myself?
Knock yourself out, kid.
It's 100 degrees here.
I'm going home.
And don't ever, ever play
the father card again.
You're lucky he can't see
what a disappointment you are.
You live in his house.
You inherited everything
he ever built. But
you didn't inherit me.
This guy, what does he look like?
Like a cop.
I don't know. Attractive.
He's from somewhere.
I don't know where, but not here.
That's not racist.
It's just a It's a fact.
Shut up!
Excuse me. Detective Padereau. Hi.
Can I ask you a question?
No, no, no. Hey, did that guy call you?
'Cause I got rid of those plants.
- Most of the plants.
- Wait.
My question was about the security cameras
and how I could see the footage.
Oh.
No idea. My uncle does,
but they're trying to save his toe.
Okay, what?
Diabetes.
Why don't you give him a call
and have him talk you through it.
What did Iris tell you exactly?
Nothing. You know how cops are.
Want a chocolate?
Yes.
I prayed you'd come back, you know.
When?
When I was 12 and you left.
Took a while to be answered,
but here you are.
I'd do anything to keep you here.
- I know.
- But if you put my family in danger,
- that changes
- I wouldn't do that.
Why did you go see Deacon at work?
It's unrelated to the other thing.
The other thing being the dead woman?
Yes. Did you tell Iris anything about her?
No, Michael,
because I don't know anything, do I?
I didn't put you in danger, Patsy.
All I asked was to let me know
if the EMT was gonna make it or not.
That's all.
And he's not,
but his mom is reluctant to pull the plug.
- How reluctant?
- Adamant.
I hope she has a change of heart.
This guy needs someone
to be punished for the dead woman.
If it's not the EMT, it'll be me.
Well, we don't want that.
I'll have a talk with his mom, Michael.
Thanks.
Hey. It's gonna be
- Everything's gonna be okay.
- Okay.
I promise.
I promise.
It's under control.
Okay.
Who's your buyer?
Name and place, or you live here. Now.
Meghan, there you are.
I need a quick favor.
- Sorry.
- What the hell?
It's okay. Friends since college.
Kappa forever.
I'm in the middle of something.
I just need a phone number.
It's a Philadelphia cell
and I'm trying to track down the owner.
You're that TV lady.
Guilty.
Kaitlin Fox. Hi.
Anyway, here's the number.
His name is Mike Valentine.
You're the best.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Ray-Ray's bringing the floats
over to the church.
Buzz is getting the truck.
If you wanna get this done tonight,
you better get over here now.
I will.
As soon as I lose the car tailing me.
Who is it?
I don't know. Some old guy in a Buick.
That could be
half the population of Florida.
Just take down the plate.
Okay?
Andy.
Hey, I need you to run a plate.
Pennsylvania D-2-P-4-H-7-8.
Actually, I can't.
How do you mean you can't?
Was that Mike
in the sketch that I showed you, chief?
Oh, Andy. Goddamn it. Come on.
This is important.
Yes or no?
No.
Well, I guess I don't mean I can't.
I mean I won't.

- Hey.
- Hey. You ditch your tail?
- Yeah. Any idea who that is?
- His name is Dutch.
He used to work for Moss's dad.
He's retired.
He's the one that Moss called
to check on Gil Franco's story.
- Used to work for him in what way?
- Like the way Gil ended up.
- How did you spot him?
- He came to the motel room.
What? Did he recognize you?
He didn't act like it,
but he knew I was with someone.
He saw your stuff in the bathroom.
- You let him into the bathroom?
- He had to pee. It seemed urgent.
- Prostate. It happens.
- Shit! Moss is checking up on your story.
- It'll be okay.
- It's already not.
If he wanted you dead, you would be.
Clearly this guy is after me.
- And now he's found you.
- Doing nothing to report on.
Plus, he wasn't even on me until
- You were at Patsy's house.
- He knows where she lives.
- Wow. Now you're worried.
- No, wait.
He knows where I was.
Not that it was Patsy's house.
- Who are you calling?
- Ray-Ray.
- I don't want Ray-Ray doing anything.
- I do.
- Anything else I can unfuck for you?
- Everyone calm down.
I'll give Dutch
the same story I gave Moss,
he reports back that everything is fine
and we buy ourselves time. Calm down.
We got a problem.
I couldn't drop off the salvage stuff
at the church.
They're putting in security cameras
to replace the guard who got arrested.
Give me some tools. I'll take care of it.
- What is this?
- My boat.
The heat is on you two,
and it's bad for all of us.
Get on the boat, go somewhere.
I promise you'll get your cut.
- You promise?
- Yeah.
A promise from Sonny Valentine
is worth even more than gold.
- I'm trying to help you.
- Are you?
It looks exactly the same
as when you're not.
- Forget it.
- Hey! Go fuck yourself.
Oh, God!
- Never have fucking kids.
- Trust me, I'm not.
- We have to go.
- We will. One more day.
No. Now, Mike.
Moss has activated his murder guy.
- I know, but we're almost there.
- Look at me.
Have you seen me like this ever?
These are serious fucking people.
Even if Dutch didn't recognize me,
he might tell Moss
there was a girl in your room
and give him a description,
and it'll be the same one
they use to identify my corpse.
What do you want to do?
You want to walk away?
Huh? Is that what you want?
No, I'm saying
we take your dad up on the deal.
Yes. I know he'll fuck us over some,
but we'll still have
way more than we need.
I'm saying you were right.
Let's do what you told me to do.
Let's take the boat and go.
I'm not going anywhere.
If we walk away now, my dad takes it all,
and no way I'll let that happen.
I'm not leaving twice.
Not without what's coming to me.
I'll be back.
I hope you're here.
I will be.
In a series of small packages
just scattered all over town.
Mike's pretty fired up.
Look what you started, I guess.
Oh, no.
Whatever that fire is, I didn't light it.
No. You just blew on it.
Nice.
This is a you story
I'm so privileged to be in the middle of.
Hey, slow down.
You need to have a clear head for tonight.
I'm sorry, and why is that?
Since you two have pretty much
sidelined me on this thing,
I'm not sure I'm sticking around.
Oh, you will.
You love the drama.
I don't even have anywhere to stay
if I do.
I'm not going back to that motel.
You can stay at my place.
I'll crash with Ray-Ray.
Thank you.
You know Bonnie and Clyde
was a love story too.
You know how that ended.
Hey.
Good news.
I've decided not to kill you.
Ought to be a load off. Me?
I'm still on the fence.
You must be Dutch.
Why must that be?
You're Moss's guy in Florida.
He sent you to check on me?
See what I was doing?
Look
What I'm doing is exactly
what I told Moss that I was doing.
But you know he has trust issues.
What is it you told Moss you were doing?
Just so I'm on the same page.
Getting video evidence
on the guy who killed his girlfriend.
- At a church?
- Yeah.
Here, at that bar.
The bungalow when he killed her.
Everywhere they went.
Why not just give Moss what you have
when you get it?
- Why make him worry?
- You used to work for his dad, right?
- Thirty-five years.
- So you know Moss?
Do you consider him a patient
and rational person?
I consider him
- a fucking moron.
- There you go.
If I told him only part of the story,
he'll go apeshit and screw it up,
so I just need one more day.
He gets what he needs. I get what I need.
And you can get a small gratuity
for not saying anything just yet.
How small?
Five grand.
That will get you better cigars.
I like these cigars.
My father smoked these.
Well, then 5,000 of those, I don't care.
What do you say?
Another five will get me a TV that pauses.
You got a deal.
- Who's this?
- Let's get into your car.
- Fuck you.
- Let's go here.
- Fuck off. Get your fucking hand off me.
- Go over there!
- Fuck!
- Get in there.
Goddamn it stinks in here!
What can I say? Light a match. Stay there!
- Move.
- He's not gonna say anything.
I said, get out of the way because
if it's a choice of your life or Patsy's,
I believe I have Sonny's proxy
to make the right call.
No!
Motherfucker!
Ah! Fuck!
Let's see what you have here.
Stop.
When was this?
Uh, today?
That's the guy. That's the asshole.
You'll break my arm!
No, no, no.
You crazy?
Oh!
No! I'm not going to let you kill him.
- You know why I have to.
- Why?
You can't do bad things but be a good guy.
There he is again.
That's the day that he pulled my hair.
