Most Dangerous Game (2020) s01e04 Episode Script
The Acceptance
So, even utilizing a
vacancy rate of 2.6%,
we're still looking at returns
well above the mean.
This variable-cost model
allows for a return of capital
greater than comparable
investments in Columbus,
Grand Rapids, Peoria and St. Louis.
Okay, Dodge.
- Yes, sir, you have a question?
- No, no, I think I have
a pretty good picture of
what we're looking at here.
But I do have to say,
my friend, you could
sell salt to a slug.
Thank you.
But I'm sorry to say, you
can't sell this one to me.
I really wanted the numbers
to work, but they don't.
But maybe we could do
something in the future, okay?
Maybe I could rework the offer?
Oh, no, there's no need,
but thank you.
It's-it's a definite pass.
All right, my friend.
What if I give you 75% equity?
You could give me the
whole damn building,
wouldn't make a difference.
I don't want the debt
that goes along with it.
Look, bring me your next project, okay?
There is no next project,
sir. I need this to work.
My-my family and I are going
through something right now,
and this this building is all I got.
Well, I went through something
similar when I started out,
but trust me, it's never
as bad as it seems.
You're gonna bounce back, kid.
All right, be in touch.
- You know what I don't like about this?
- The dying part?
What I don't like is what
a little bitch you're being.
When you tore up your
ankle at regionals,
you trained your ass off,
came back, and won state.
And when that prick
associate professor
tried to steal Val Hey.
Look at me when I'm talking to you.
When that prick tried to steal
Val away, you knocked him in the dirt.
You're a lousy singer,
an average card player,
and the best friend I got, so you fight,
like you always do.
I got no money, no insurance.
My parents are dead.
Val's family's broke.
What exactly do I fight with?
You got a son on the way, so you
fight with everything you got.
Hey.
Where'd you go?
I took a walk to clear my head.
Uh
I have something to tell you.
An offer was made to me.
Jerry Pierce wants to close financing.
So we're gonna have money coming in,
and we're gonna use it for
the most aggressive drugs
out there, experimental
surgeries, whatever it takes.
I did some research and there's
doctors that have developed
- procedures that they
- Oh, my God.
Listen,
I'm not ready to let go yet,
so I'm gonna fight.
I'm gonna fight for all three of
us, and I'm not gonna give up.
Are we gonna be okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I promise.
Hello, Dodge.
How'd you know it was me?
You're the only person
outside my team who has this number.
How can I help you?
I'm in.
I love you.
Where you going?
I'm just going for a run.
Go back to sleep, okay?
Cutting it close.
Game's from sunrise to sunrise.
Daybreak's at 6:46.
- Here. I ordered those for you.
- I'm not hungry.
No, you should eat.
- You need fuel in your tank.
- I'm fine.
Oh, suit yourself, but it's tough
going out there when you're on the run.
I run every day.
Not like this, you don't.
Empty your pockets.
Is there a problem?
I'm just thinking maybe
I should go home.
To what?
A wife who can watch you die penniless?
A family that'll be homeless
in a matter of months?
Dodge, we both know
you're too good a man
to leave them like that just
because you're scared.
Wait, hold on.
The ultrasound.
Oh, fair enough.
Keep those.
If you're debilitated, you
can't provide a good game.
Get up.
What?
Come on, on your feet.
It'll only take a second.
Arms out.
I got to pat you down. My apologies,
- but it's a requirement.
- People are watching.
Yeah, they think you're on parole
and I'm your probation officer.
Great.
I had a guy in San Juan
smuggle a knife in his sock.
In the end it did him no
good, but my clients were
rightfully upset that the
game was compromised.
How many people have
you roped into this shit?
Considering the stakes,
more than you'd imagine.
Considering the state of the
world, fewer than you'd expect.
Yeah, it's me. Yeah.
Wire $50,000 into the
player's account, please.
I-I'll wait.
Do you guys have a name for the baby?
Yeah? Thanks.
Open the dollar sign app.
This is my bank account. How
Look at the balance.
For the first hour, whether
you live through it or not.
Now you know the setup works.
"I'll love you both forever".
Don't look at the clock, look at me.
I want you to get through this.
I want you to have a shot
at holding that kid of yours,
or at least leave him something,
so listen to me carefully.
What you want to do is keep moving.
Crowds are your friend.
Hunters don't want
to kill you too publicly,
or they wind up spending
the rest of their lives
in prison under the fake
identities we set up for them.
Trust no one, keep your head
on a swivel, stay paranoid.
- Got it?
- Yeah. Yeah, okay.
Yeah. When do you tell the hunters?
Well, they're in here with
us now, all five of them.
What?
Yeah, that's right, it could be anyone.
Dodge, Dodge.
Adrenaline is flushing your system,
your heart rate's going like
you're making the final turn
in the quarter mile you
got to get this shit in check,
or you won't make it past noon.
Yeah.
When does it start?
It just did.
