Stop crying! Stop crying!
Stop crying! Don't cry!
Becca! Stop!
[sobbing]
- I'm sorry.
No, no, no. Don't be sorry.
Don't be sorry.
B.
No.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Hey. Hey, it's ok. It's ok.
Ok.
Um
I would never sell you out.
Oh, no, no, I know.
I know.
Um
We're just a little scared.
But, um, all the more reason
us nice girls
gotta stick together, right?
[knocking]
Can we see Sally
for a moment?
I handled it.
Don't be mad at me because
you weren't strong enough
to handle it yourself.
Wait, you thought
that was strong?
That was mean.
You are very mean.
You know your gut instinct
is to be a total fucking
asshole, right?
I am so sick of
your nice girl act.
What?
You always act
so self-righteous.
You always have.
You do know
you're just as shitty of
a person as I am, right?!
Like what the fuck do you think
we've been doing
this entire goddam time?!
We are criminals, Zoe!
Like we have been doing
full-on illegal shit!
Both of us!
You always act like you're being
bulldozed by me.
Well, yeah, you do
all the time!
Every single fucking time!
Then stand the fuck up
and shut me up for once
if you hate it so much!
God. You're so pathetic!
Like look at you.
Even right now, you're
gonna cry.
I am not gonna cry.
You let me walk
all over you
because you're scared
of being a boss!
I am a nice boss.
I am a good boss!
My whole family is made
of good bosses and you,
you can't even do anything
without freaking the fuck out!
Oh, well sorry I actually have
a fucking moral conscience.
Well you and your
moral conscience
have always been useless.
This entire time, Zoe,
your whole fucking life
is just dead fucking weight.
Fuck you.
I am a good friend,
so I know
that you're only saying these
awful things right now
because you are reeling
from your shitty mom visiting.
You get it,
you get the idea.
♪
Hi. I'm so sorry.
No, it's ok, babe.
Breathe.
I am so sorry that these
are late.
Fifty fakes.
Thanks.
And here's my next order, 250.
Two-hundred
250?
Yeah.
Is everything ok with the guy
that makes the fakes?
Turn around's been super
slow lately.
Yeah, no, it's it's
just been um,
250?
You know, we used to have a
signature two-day turn around.
Now, I'm thinking
What? What, what are
you thinking?
I don't like looking stupid.
I'm not used to it.
If we can't get the two day
turnaround for this next order,
I think I'm gonna quit.
What? Oh, um, ok.
Well, I mean, I think that maybe
he's just a little tired.
Because he's working so hard.
And, and his business partners,
they're probably not really
pulling their weight
when it comes
to their shifts, right,
so it's like,
how is he even-
Wait, wait.
Woah, woah, woah.
I'm sorry, maybe I should
just talk to Rebecca
about this instead.
No, no, no. It's fine.
250 IDs, that is totally
doable.
Two days.
Not a problem.
♪
Tryst, what are you doing?
Oh, hey.
Just trying to get
this thing working.
Tryst, get out of the printer!
Ok.
[shudders]
Why?
Oh, these are for the UV rays.
Cataracts.
You can miss me with that shit.
[scoffs] She actually bought it.
- Oh, she bought it?
So, I guess the guy that lugged
it across the border,
he didn't do anything?
You did not lug it
over the border.
Well it was very hard
to source.
Yeah, I know, and it's 20K.
21, but who's counting?
Anyhow, she seems
pretty confident in it.
She should be.
Your typical ink printer
creates ink spots
which runs a higher chance of
having the colours run.
Which is fine for your basic
five-page paper on "Hamlet".
That's because most printers
use liquid ink
which basically drips
onto the paper
and then you have to hope
against hope
that it dries before
you touch it.
But, the high-tech Roland
LEF 12IUV printer
uses UV light to flash
onto the paper.
Immediate curing.
Microscopic accuracy.
360 degrees.
It can print anything
onto anything.
Our favourite part?
It's six times faster.
Perfect.
Ok. Let's get
this thing running.
Where's B?
She is late.
She will be here in like
three hours.
It's also when I need
to get going.
What?
Uh, feed my fish.
It's fine.
The Roland's a total
game changer.
Once I figure it out.
So, is the singing kid
bringing in numbers?
Yeah. She is totally
killing it, yeah.
She's really making
those sales.
Really?
Oh yeah, you'd be surprised
how effective her mime pitch is.
I would be surprised.
Hey, you have uh, you know,
did you bring the
What?
Well I liked that
Cartem's kombucha
you brought the other day.
Right.
Yeah, come on.
You really gotta start bringing
your own lunch.
This is lunch.
Happy printing.
[door closes]
[rain falling]
Hey. You need a lift to school?
Thanks for letting me have
the car.
I didn't let you have anything.
You took it.
We both know if
you really wanted it,
Mom would probably side
with you.
Look, I'm working hard to get
things back on track, Z.
And I'm gonna give you and Mom
a lift whenever you want.
I'm not This is not
about the car.
Then what?
It's, you're just like him.
I'm not Dad, ok?
The last few times
I've seen you,
I could smell it.
Are you even sober right now?
Yes.
Of course I am.
Does Mom?
No.
Break her heart.
I'm not a drunk.
Fine.
But you're a good kid
to worry.
Whatever.
- Have a good day.
- Yeah. Drive safe.
Bye.
Whiskey!
Hey.
Hey. Did you hear
about Sally?
Her friends from her old school
sold her out
and she was arrested
for selling fake IDs.
Insane, right?
Did you know?
No, why would I know?
Why would you ask me that?
Like why would she know
anything about that,
like, who even,
who the hell is Sally?
She was our English partner.
I mean
Sorry, could I just talk
to Rebecca for a minute?
Yep.
[dramatic music]
- Sophie.
- Yep.
- You got my text?
- Yep.
So?
The Roland can do it.
- I can't figure it out.
- Not my problem.
Do not say it's not
your problem.
We meet tonight.
I'm busy.
Then we lose Sophie.
Fine.
And tomorrow.
- Fine.
- Fine.
Hey! Hey.
Oh, hey.
Rebecca canceled plans
with me just now.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
You want to grab a coffee?
- Sure.
- Yeah?
Oh, this is a really
cute plaza.
Yeah.
My mom and grandma do
Tai Chi here every Sunday.
It looked like you and Rebecca
were fighting today.
We were just talking
about homework.
Well, now I know
you're lying.
Sorry. She's been
distant lately.
Yeah, well, Becca's just
dramatic, you know?
I mean, I just
No, you are a good boyfriend.
Thanks.
She's lucky to have you.
You're like a really good guy.
I like your new hair.
What made you change it?
Um, it was just a lot
of little things.
Yeah.
But, well actually I didn't
even like it at first.
Uh, and then I was looking
in the mirror the other day
and it just looks like me.
It just matches something
inside me and like, yeah.
It just looks like me now.
Am I even making sense
right now?
I don't-you can help me
out here.
People change
in different ways.
Yeah.
[cell phone chimes]
I'm just gonna pop in
the shower, take a nap.
Good, got it.
Hey, Mom.
How amazing of a friend is
Rebecca for buying you these.
So nice.
Today's shift was just brutal.
Just so good.
Especially after a long
bus ride.
Did Jason not pick you up?
He was busy.
Doing what?
[sighs]
Zoe, he's just
He's just what?
Honey, let's not fight.
Wait, but we have like
10 more minutes.
I know.
I still have to shower
and I really need that nap.
Yeah, but it's just
10 more minutes.
I know.
Next time, ok?
♪
I'm going to buy her
that fucking hospital.
[cell phone chimes]
[angelic singing]
♪
Hey, hey.
What are you doing here
so late?
Guess who figured out
the Roland?
Damn.
Becca, that's good stuff.
No, me. I did.
Well I mean, the printer did.
Yeah, but I figured it out.
But the printer literally-
No, but I did it.
And I bought the ink.
Teamwork.
[snaps]
Alright.
Where is Rebecca anyway?
I feel like I haven't
seen her in forever.
Like, seriously.
I made this for you,
jerk.
I refined the hologram.
Oh, wow. This is really good.
You know, it's really good,
top-notch stuff.
Hm.
Should probably get going,
yeah?
Mmhm. I just want
to finish this.
What are you doing here?
I'm driving Mom to work.
No, absolutely not.
Smell his breath.
What?
I'm done covering for him.
I am not going to let you get
into my car with an alcoholic.
Zoe, calm down.
Did you know that he steals
from us?
He's stealing
from the money jar.
That money is for everyone,
Zoe, including Jason.
Mom! Wake up!
He always steals from us.
He comes to dinner
just to take food.
I have to buy the flowers
and the fried pickles
just so it doesn't look like
he's showing up empty-handed.
Ok, honey, it doesn't matter-
How does it not matter?
- Ok, we've got to get going.
- Were running late.
Did you know
he was drinking
when he dropped me off
at school?
Calm down.
You're being ridiculous
and completely unreasonable.
How does that not sound
just like Dad?
Zoe. That's enough!
I'm not drunk right now.
Oh, no, no, not right now.
But you will be.
I know this game.
I've played this with Dad.
Let's go.
No. Nobody is going anywhere.
Zoe. Zoe?
♪
[Jason] Zoe what are you doing?
Zoe!
[air hissing]
You are not getting in the car
with this drunk.
I knew it!
You want to kill yourself,
go ahead.
But leave Mom out of this.
Um I'm gonna go call
you a cab, Mom.
Yeah, that's right.
I am in control
of this family.
Looking back,
that was the day that she
started looking at me like that.
Hey, babe.
Where's Rebecca?
She's not coming.
Thank you.
What did you say to him,
your fakes guy?
What did I say to him?
I am pretty sure
that I told him
that he knows what kind of
business he's in.
Hm.
So that's what you
said to him.
Yeah. And he's good
at what he does.
He's the best.
Go on.
He likes being the best.
He likes all of it.
He likes the money.
He likes the power.
And if he wants to keep things
as they are,
then he's just gotta
keep working
and together we can be
very, very rich.
So cut the shit.
- Ok.
- Ok.
You got it. Let's
let's get rich.
[sighs]
What?
That was pretty hot.
Shut up. Go sell.
Yes, ma'am.

[doorbell rings]
Hi.
Oh. Hi, what are you-
I broke up with Rebecca.
Oh. Ok.
Something just made me
come here.
Ok.
Thing is, can I come in?
Yeah. Yeah.
The thing is
Yeah?
I don't think I'm that good
of a guy.
You know what?
I don't think I'm that good
of a girl either.
Are you warm enough?
You ok?
Yeah. Are you?
Mmmhmm.
How do you feel?
Hm. I feel
Sleepy.
[laughs]
[exhales]
I guess this is gonna make
things pretty complicated.
Yeah.
Tomorrow.
Ok.
[tapping]
What is that?
What do you mean?
Wait, you don't hear it?
It's coming from your window.
What?
- Zoe!
- Uh, Zoe.
[Sally] Zoe! Zoe! Zoe!
Let me in!
Zoe, let me in.

at the police station! And I
