The Great Fabricator

1
- [cell door slams]
- [lock buzzes]
[Issac] If he sees me, he's gonna run.
- I can't just pull up on him.
- You every day with this shit.
What else am I gonna do in here?
Get ripped? That's stupid.
Oh, just chill. You got seven years
to plan your cousin's death.
Chill? This stupid fuck.
All he had to do was vouch for me.
He wouldn't have done a day.
He would've got fined.
Here, let's talk about something else.
What's your favorite season?
I like summer. Now you go.
I gotta get the fuck out of here, man!
The Filipinos are gonna kill me.
- [lock buzzes]
- Oh, shit.
- We're gonna open on cell four.
- [lock buzzes]
Isaac.
You're free to go.
For real? Why?
Phone call came in.
Some lady said it was your cousin driving,
not you.
He's gonna kill his cousin.
He's got Nutter Butters behind his back.
- All right, give me the Nutters.
- Whoo!
[Jordan] Got it. Good to know.
So do you have any questions?
Or
You made some stupid decisions.
You covered your ass to secure the deal.
Pretty clear.
Yeah, again, Jordan, I'm really sorry
that I hid all of that from you,
but I've come clean to everyone:
the police, Naomi, George.
Let's not belabor this, please.
What do you need, Amy?
Well, you see,
George didn't mean to sell the Tamago.
It's a pretty good chair.
I'm willing to pay whatever you want.
Seriously?
Do I look like I need money?
You wanted honey on the side, right?
[Jordan] That's how I always take it.
- Thanks, Naomi.
- Mm-hm.
- Do you want anything to eat or?
- We're good.
Could you give us some space, please?
[Naomi] All right, yeah, yeah.
- I have emails to do. I'll see you later.
- Thanks.
She's so attentive.
Is that a cultural thing or?
No, Jordan, it's not a cultural thing.
- Hm.
- [cell phone buzzes]
Um, sorry, just Just one second.
Sure.
[cell phone continues buzzing]
[George] Amy, are you there?
- Is everything okay?
- He took June!
Danny took her! I can't find her!
- Wait, what?
- He came in and knocked me out.
When I woke up, she was gone.
That piece of shit took her in his truck!
- Oh, my God.
- The police are here.
You've gotta talk to them.
We have to find her.
[door opens]
Yo, one of my shitcoins is mooning, man.
Thank God you took my passwords.
Okay, come on, Junie.
Just gonna sit right here.
And wait right here with your puppy, okay?
I don't have time to explain.
I gotta pack.
Yo, what the fuck?
Did you kidnap her kid?
It was an accident.
She jumped in the truck, I don't know.
Why didn't you leave her?
There was police. I couldn't stop.
So drop her off somewhere.
What if something bad happens to her?
Then that's on me.
- So you brought her here?
- I don't know. I kept driving, I'm here.
Just shut up and call Amy, tell her
her kid's okay, she can pick her up.
- What are you gonna do?
- I don't know.
I'm gonna
drive down to Mexico or something.
No. We can explain everything to the cops.
I knocked out her husband.
I knocked him out.
They'll get me for assault.
Why were you even there?
You got questions?
I was cleaning up your mess.
Zane, the video's done.
Yo, who's Zane?
- Dude, I
- [knocking on door]
Yo, it's Michael and Bobby! Open up!
[knocking on door]
Yo, what's taking so long?
[Danny] Just a second. God.
- Is she good?
- [Paul] I think so.
- Hey, guys.
- Oh, shit!
Thought you could get a W off of me?
- Piece of shit! Get over on me?
- [Paul] Get the fuck out of here!
I swear to God, if the fucking cash
isn't in those rice cookers
You spent it! You spent it, huh?
Isaac, I can explain!
I need that fucking money today!
I need it today!
The Filipinos are gonna castrate me!
What the fuck is he talking about, Danny?
Stop. No fighting.
[barks]
Whose fucking kid is that?
It's Paul's new girl's
It's her kid.
I wasn't gone that long.
It's a different dude from before.
It's been an adjustment for sure.
[Amber Alert sounds via cell phone]
Yo, how do I turn Amber Alerts off?
Chill, he'll get it.
[dog barks]
Oh, shit.
[man] Amy, I'm Detective Doran.
You called this in, but just so I'm clear,
Daniel Cho, he's the man
you got into a road rage with, not Isaac.
- Yes?
- [George] Tell them about the brother.
- Maybe he's with him.
- [Doran] George, please.
Let's remain calm.
Yeah, he's got this younger brother, Paul.
- He's about six feet and
- [George] Hmm, 5'11".
More like 5'11".
- [Doran] George, please.
- Sorry, give me one sec.
Hello.
[Isaac] Amy Lau?
Who is this?
Your daughter's safe.
She's ready to be picked up.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
$500,000 cash. No cops. No husband.
Who is this?
- Is Danny there?
- Five hundred thousand cash.
I don't even know
if I could withdraw that much. Please.
I'm in the middle of nowhere
and the banks aren't even open today.
Shut the fuck up. I know you're rich.
Come up with the money today.
Get the fucking cash today.
Don't tell anyone.
I'll call you with the location.
No, no, no. Please. Do not hang up.
I want to give you the money, okay?
I really do.
Don't fuck with me.
I'm not. I swear.
There are people more dangerous than me
who want this money right away.
I'm at a billionaire's house
Good for you, bitch. Stop trying to stall.
You triangulating my location?
Jordana Forster. You heard of her?
Yeah, she's hot.
Yeah. Well, she's got these artifacts,
like honest-to-God crowns,
they're worth hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
You could come here
and clear north of a million, easy.
A million? Shit.
- How do I know this isn't a trap?
- Because you have my daughter!
Why would I risk it?
I don't even know
how I would withdraw like 500k.
I would move money between accounts
and that could take days.
Hm
Look, write down this address.
22 Mountain View Trail.
My car's parked right outside.
Please just leave my daughter
in the car seat, okay?
I'll make sure that nobody,
no one, calls the cops.
You'll be in and out, okay?
Hello?
I'm heading over now.
I swear, if you tell anyone,
I'll kill your fucking daughter.
- [ June ] Mister, where are we?
- Wait!
[line disconnects]
[rock music playing]
- You pack the masks?
- Of course I packed the masks.
The masks were my idea.
There wouldn't be masks
if my mom didn't help us.
[Michael] Shut up.
It's fucking weird
how much your mom loves Dick Cheney.
You stole his money
for Mom and Dad's house?
- Yeah.
- Are you okay, Zane?
We're gonna go see your mommy now.
Don't you worry, okay?
I'm not. This is fun!
Dude, be careful, man!
She doesn't have a seat belt on.
[Isaac]
So cute seeing this side of you, Zane.
Just let them go.
You're mad at me. Not them.
Paul, you really didn't know
big bro was letting family rot in jail,
and robbing them blind?
I would've done the same.
Ooh, ouch. Cho Bros. So mean.
- Yo, you missed the turn.
- Not with the gun, Bobby.
You don't think I know where the turn is?
Kid's the only leverage we have.
I'm not putting her in her car yet.
Stupid fuck.
Thank you, guys.
Please, just keep me posted.
You got it. We'll let you know
if we hear anything.
[cell phone buzzing]
Hey, are you okay?
Are the police still there?
They just left. Let me grab them.
No, no, George, don't.
I need you to come over to Jordan's now.
What is going on, Amy?
Junie is safe.
Oh, thank God.
Someone called and it wasn't Danny.
They want 500k in cash today.
Let me get the police.
No, George,
they explicitly said no police.
Of course they did.
George, you're not listening.
They said they'd kill her.
Oh, my God.
Please, just come to Jordan's.
They're gonna put Junie in my car
and I need you to come get her.
You can't tell anybody, okay?
They told me not to tell you.
I know I've used up
any trust left between us,
but I'm taking a leap of faith here
that we can get on the same page for June.
Yeah. Okay.
You did the right thing.
Let's do exactly what they say
and get her back safely.
Thank you.
I love you.
I love you too.
[line disconnects]
And this is my little collection.
Let me show you my favorite.
This one.
This is from the Chimú kingdom.
Wow!
I used to have the earrings,
but I had to return them
to the Peruvian government, whatever.
Yeah, I used to collect Beanie Babies.
[chuckles] I don't know what that is.
Oh, and this one.
This
Hey, are you sure you want the whole tour?
- You seem distracted.
- Sorry. I
I'm just thinking about George.
Yeah.
I get it.
Really, I do. Divorce is tough.
But
Everything fades, Amy.
People, things, experiences.
You just gotta keep
grabbing what you can. Right?
That's what makes life so wonderful.
There's always something.
Wow, Jordan, you are so insightful.
Can I try one on?
Yes. Of course.
Which one?
Maybe the Marge Simpson.
Great.
It's one of my favorites.
- Wow
- [Naomi] It's getting late.
The roads get dark here, Amy.
You might want to start driving.
Right, yeah.
Thanks, Naomi.
Oof, the traffic is probably
pretty bad, though
Exactly, exactly.
So stay. Spend the night if you want.
[doorbell rings]
[Jordan] You're really getting
the full tour today, Amy.
This is a lovely room as well.
It's amazing.
Weird. There's no one there
- [Michael] Hands up!
- [Isaac] Move! Move!
[Michael] In the other room! Let's go!
In the other room! Let's go! Now!
Move over there! Go!
- Move!
- Oh, my God!
Let's all just stay calm
and do exactly what they say.
- [Isaac] Give me your fucking phones.
- Where's my fucking phone?
[Michael] Everything over 10k
in this house goes in these bags.
That's everything in this house.
[Isaac] We'll need more bags.
Hey, did my brother put you up to this?
- Jordan.
- [Isaac] What?
If he is that upset about Naomi,
he can have her back.
- [gun cocks]
- Your fucking stores give me migraines!
I can get more bags.
They're Goyard.
[Isaac]
I don't know what that is, sounds cool.
[Michael]
Okay. Yeah. We want those bags. Move!
Move!
Panic room, southwest corner.
- Jordan, don't.
- [Isaac] You two, shut up!

Thanks for the cooperation, ladies.
[Isaac] See, that wasn't so bad.
- Pleasure doing business.

- Wait, are those sirens?
- [Michael] What the fuck?
Fuck. Fuck!
- You promised you wouldn't call the cops!
- I didn't, I swear.
- You called them?
- [Amy] I didn't!
- Where's my daughter?
- She knows them.
- [Isaac] You tell your husband?
- [Jordan] What's going on?
- Is my daughter in my car?
- This is who you wanna leave me for?
[Isaac] Tell Bobby to bring the car.
[Michael] I'm calling. He won't answer.
[Isaac] Who called the fucking cops?
Who called the cops?
Fucking bitch. Fuck.
What are we gonna do?
Yo, that Hummer's an older model,
we could hot wire it.
All right.
Okay.
All right, Junie.
I'm gonna lock the doors,
and I promise your mom's
gonna be here soon, okay?
Maybe you could come over,
and we could sing more songs.
Yeah, maybe.
I'd like that.
You'll be good by yourself?
I'm not by myself, silly.
I have Luca.
- Yo. We gotta go.
- Okay.
All right. Hey, watch your foot, okay?
Shit.
Yo, let's hurry.
We can take the other road out.
Let's check the Hummer.
God, I hope rich people are stupid.
[sirens continue wailing]
Got thems.
Want me to get in there and hot wire?
If we're really lucky
- What?
- Dude.
Where the fuck is Bobby? Hm?
[Isaac] Okay, fuck, I gotta think.
There's gotta be a way out of this.
- Have you ever heard of zugzwang?
- What the fuck you going off about?
It's the point in chess
where you have to make a move,
but every move is a loss.
[Isaac] Why do you hang out with her?
You know you're Asian, right?
[Michael] Look what I found.
- [Amy] Danny, is June okay?
- She's fine.
[Isaac] Where's the van?
[Michael]
Where we left it. Bobby's not picking up!
[gunshot]
If I don't leave here
with the stash, I'm dead!
- So you might as well be dead too.
- Hey, hey, hey.
Why don't I call my husband? Okay?
He can talk to the cops.
I'm gonna tell him that Danny and Paul
are holding us hostage, all of us.
Okay?
[Michael] Hey, it's a good idea.
Hey, Zugzug.
Those doors lock from this side?
- I have no fucking idea.
- Yeah, they do.
- [Michael] Then let's go. Move!
- [Issac] Go, go. Go, motherfucker.
- [Michael] Fucking go! Move!
- [Isaac] Okay, go.
These cops better not test me.
I'm not going back to jail.
Isaac.
- What are you doing?
- This is your fault.
- [Jordan] Naomi!
- Oh, shit.
- South door's closed!
- [Issac] Get them!
Shit.
I'm right behind you!
[screams]

Where you going?
I'll break your legs!

What kind of house is this?
Fuck!

In my car outside, and Danny and Paul

Did you hear that? I'm fucking serious!
What the fuck?
We gotta get out of here.
Yo, yo, I think if you give me a boost,

- Shut up!
- You don't know me!
- You don't seem like a bad guy.
You don't. I'm sure this is Danny's fault.
- I'm sure it is.
- Sir, talk to me or the police will enter.
- Just let me go. Please.
- Hello?
Please. You've seen my daughter.
You've seen my husband.
And I know you don't want
to rip me away from them.
[groans]
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
If you let me go now,
there's a chance you'll get out in,
what, like
five years? Maybe?
And you can start over.
You can.

- You gotta go.
I'm not fucking leaving. Come on!
I burned down the house.
What?
Mom and Dad's.
I put in the wrong wires.
Yo, what are you talking about?
Just come on.
No, I'm serious.
It's all my fault.
It's my fault too.
- Can you jump? We gotta go.
- No, no, no.
I've been holding you down
your whole life.
I can't. We can't.
Danny, come on.
[gunfire continues]
Yo, I threw away
your college applications.
What?
At the motel, I saw them in the lobby
and I threw them in the trash.
I'm sorry.
I just wanted us to be the same.
You gotta go.
You gotta get away from me, man.
You gotta get away from me.

Hi, it's George. Leave a message.
Hey, sir! Where's my family?
Is my daughter okay?
[officer] Your daughter's safe, miss.
We retrieved her unharmed.
Well, can I see her?
- Where's George?
- [officer] They didn't tell you?
- I'm sorry. They left earlier.
- What?
Your husband
wanted to take your daughter home.
Miss, if you just let the medic
check your vitals.

Yo, you've reached Paul.
