Sorry, I would've gotten here sooner, But I was going over the galleys with judith.

Amazing, huh? He calls it accumulation.
A whole lot of crap in the world-- that's what it's saying, You know, subliminally.

I won't be long.
I promise.

So what you got for me on thigpen? - Hmm? Wow.
- Yeah, I think you'll like that.
- Cool.
Thanks a lot.
- All right.
The cocksucker manager calls me today, He says some cable network wants To do a reality show about my addicted ass.
They're claiming it's gonna be some kind of an inspirational hour About my attempts at sobriety.
( sighs ) - ( chuckles ) - they'll just be praying That I pick up that spike again.
They want to document my demise, yeah? Maybe even my death.
Vultures.
I don't know.
Manager says it'll help my songs on itunes.
What do you think? Do you think I should do it? Come on, you're a showman.
You're the best frontman from the '80s.
You're born to please the crowd.
( chuckles ) do you know what you'd do? You'll start using just because you know that That's what the tv audience wants to see.
So no, man.
Don't do it.
No way.
- Fuck, man.
- ( both laugh ) Oh, shit.
You know me.
( sighs ) man.
I really miss being in the studio with you, ben.
I do too, brother.
We did some nice work together.
That last album, man-- ( grunts ) We did.
We did.
Well, hell.
God damn it, You're looking good.
You're looking healthy.
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
You're staying sober through some real heartache, man.
You know, I'm proud of you.
Well, I've just replaced one addiction with another.
- That's all, lee.
- What's that mean? Oh, nothing.
You'll get there too.
Will I, ben? I mean, will I really? So what brings you here, ben? Wesley thigpen.
Wesley thigpen? What about him? Well, he's your lawyer, right? Yeah, for about three years.
- What did you make of him? - Well, what are you asking? It's very personal, but I would like you To tell me everything that you know about him.
( laughing ) What? Why are you laughing? I don't know, man.
It's just funny-- You're asking about that motherfucking scumbag.
Six months ago we were serving 500 meals a day.
- Now we're serving closer to 1,000.
- Mm-hmm.
When the economy went south, it took a lot of people with it, right? Yeah.
That family-- do you know their story? The medinas have been living at a motel since February.
Sergio just lost his job.
Now they're staying at different shelters, depending on availability.
And when there are no beds, they're out in the street, right? - Really? - Yeah.
That's fucked up, man-- kids like that without a roof over their heads? Nolanski: He's different than what I expected.
- Yeah? Why's that? - More down to earth.
We get a lot of celebrities in here.
Don't get me wrong.
They're nice, But for many of them this place is just a great photo op.
And here's seth blanchard-- No cameras, no reporters-- Like he's genuinely interested in what we're doing.
Yeah, he does seem very interested.
( whispers ) Come on, man.
You've got to ask out tina.
- She's banged every viking but you.
- I don't know, dude.
- Hey, ty, don't you ever answer your phone? - She seems weird.
I've been calling you all day.
I left my cell at home.
You missed morning practice.
Yeah, my mom's sick.
I've got to stick to the shop.
You know, he can live without you for a day.
This doesn't mean you can slack off.
You still need to concentrate on your core exercises - And your agility drills.
- No problem.
All right.
Well, hopefully she'll feel fine tomorrow, and if not, I'll call you.
- So keep your phone on you.
- Okay.
Is something wrong? Are we good? No, I-- I just hope your mom's okay, that's all.
Hey, bo.
Maybe this weekend - You can put on another show for us.
- ( chuckles ) - Do you think you can handle it? - Fucking a, man.
I don't know about this little bitch here though.
What about it, ty? Are you in? - You know it.
- All right.
You boys practice hard and eat your vegetables And maybe I can arrange a repeat performance.
Look, I've got to get back to the shop.
You, work your program.
Don't let this punk slow you down.
Man, that dude is one sick motherfucker.
Yeah.
Thank you for the help, miss nolanski.
This visit's been very informative.
Mr.
Blanchard, I hate to be so forward, But will you be making a donation today? And what would you do with the money? It depends on the amount.
Right now we could use a new walk-in freezer, Art supplies for the children's playroom.
What's your annual budget? A little over $2 million.
And how long have you worked here? Seven years.
Why? So $14 million.
Do you think it's made a difference? This is the only meal Most of these people will get all day, And since I've been director of this shelter, We've added two full-time social workers, A legal department And access to mail, phone and internet services For anyone who needs it.
Well, you've done good work.
I'll send you a check.
But throwing more money at the problem is not the answer.
I think we need to do something different, Something radical.
Radical can be good, Depending on what you're talking about.
I've got some ideas brewing.
We'd better get going.
Once again, thank you for your time, miss nolanski.
Call me tess.
And if you have any other questions-- Thank you, tess.
Nice to meet you, miss nolanski-- tess.
- Hey, kenny.
- Yeah? Go wildcats.
Seth: Come on, kenny.
Let's go.
So check it out.
These are the sly stone records We need to get signed for the sarge.
In exchange, he gave us this-- The restraining order thigpen's first wife took out on him in 1986 For beating her ass on several occasions.
Uh-huh.
Well, guess what, anthony.
It turns out the son of a bitch has been embezzling for years.
He's overbilling his clients.
He's skimming from his partners.
Look at the picture we've put together on this guy.
Corporate retreat in 1999.
One of the firm's assistants Drowns in a pool-- Suspicious circumstances.
Thigpen is questioned, case is never closed.
And according to his friends and clients He often drinks too much and was once addicted to cocaine.
And now this.
Corporate fraud.
Spousal abuse.
What do you think that all adds up to anthony? Well, a man with a shady past.
This is the portrait of a sociopath.
A sociopath that had a special relationship With cassie, which he lied about.
And maybe cassie was gonna tell his wife about their affair.
Ben: Or she was real close to this guy, She accidentally gets wind of his recent double dealings And the bastard hires someone to get rid of her.
This is the man that had my daughter killed.
My instinct was right about him before And it's right about him now.
Well, what do you want to do about it? I want him to tell me what he did.
I want him to confess to me.
Ben, why don't we just go to the cops? You have enough stuff here for them to maybe reopen the case.
This isn't just about the cops, anthony.
Guys like thigpen-- The justice system won't make him pay for his crimes.
He'll just weasel his way out of it.
He'll buy his freedom.
No, this is the time to ratchet the pressure up On that son of a bitch And see if he fucking cracks.
Go ahead.
Ask him.
Do you have any "star wars" stuff Or "transformers"? I'm afraid not.
That's pretty cool.
Can I see that mustang? Yeah.
Wow.
You know what this is? This is the car that steve mcqueen drove in the movie "bullitt.
" Who's steve mcqueen? Man: It's the coolest guy driving the coolest car In the coolest chase scene of all time.
Dad, it's a car.
- Sorry.
- No, don't worry about it.
I told you they didn't have anything good.
Be straight with me or give me a ballpark at least.
You're gonna give this kitchen, what, a couple mil? A couple mil.
$10 million.
You're gonna throw them $10, $15 mil, aren't you? - Is everybody here? - Yeah, I put them in your office.
What's going on, seth? - They said you called a meeting.
- I did.
You called a board meeting? Why didn't I know anything about it? Because I didn't tell you.
Hi, everybody.
Sorry I'm late.
If you have something to tell me, tell me now.
I think he's gonna give $25, maybe $30 million to a soup kitchen.
Shit, I don't know.
It was just an educated guess.
Ben: This is where the bullshitters gather, Gab and spread their stench.
So where's the king of shit? He'll be out in a minute.
It's his Wednesday haunt.
What are you gonna do, ben? So what's the plan here? I'm gonna get him to say the words "I killed your daughter.
" Why would he ever confess to you? The power of persuasion.
Look, there he is.
He doesn't have one iota of guilt.
Ben, one last time-- hear me out.
Let's get the cops involved.
That's the smart play.
No, I have to do this myself.
Follow him, anthony.
Let that cocksucker know we're right on his ass.
Hey, what are you doing? Come here.
Let me carry those.
- Thank you.
- You all right? Yeah, thank you.
- What is this? - It's a board meeting.
Maggie: Seth didn't say anything about a board meeting.
- Nope.
- Do you kno what it's about? Uh, you know, just-- Kenny, are you going to tell me or do I have to go find out myself? I think he'd rather tell you himself, maybe.
Huh.
You're stepping down as c.
E.
O.
? Why? Because I can no longer focus on running the company.
I have to devote 100% of my time and energy - To this new venture.
- What venture? We're all walking around in the dark here.
- Maggie, hold on-- - no, wait.
You hold on.
Honestly, are you able to stop for one second And think about anyone else but yourself? Seth, how do you think it feels to know absolutely nothing About what's going on down here? You tell me you spoke to god.
You see a mural of a tree on this building so you buy it.
You move your office down here.
- Maggie, I know how you feel.
- Seth, I want to support you But, god, I have no idea what I'm supporting.
Does that seem fair to you? You're right.
You're absolutely right.
I swear I will reveal everything to you very soon.
I just need you to trust me, maggie.
Now I know trust is a very fragile thing right now, But that's what I'm asking you for.
I won't betray that trust.
Never again.
Okay.
But my trust in you is far more fragile than you think it is.
- Where the hell is he going? - Just follow him.
He's pulling over.
Stop the car, anthony.
- He's pulling over.
- All right, all right.
Yeah, it's the alley next to t alley cat cafe.
This guy's been following me for half an hour - Everywhere I go.
- No no no.
Get here as soon as you can.
Thank you.
No, I do this part alone, man to man, Just the two of us.
I won't do anything stupid.
( mutters ) I've got him, cassie.
I'm not gonna let him go.
Mr.
Cendars, what's going on? Why are you following me? - Why did you lie to me? - I don't know what you're talking about.
- What is your problem with me? - I know about you and cassie.
I know you were together.
You fucking lied to me.
You are wrong.
You've been misinformed.
I don't know what the hell my daughter saw in you.
Why don't you just back away from me right now Before somebody gets hurt? I've had enough of this - And I don't appreciate these accusations.
- Hey, I know all about you.
Did cassie know about you? Did she find out about you? Did she listen to the wrong conversation - And you had her killed for it? - ( siren blaring ) - What is wrong with you? - You're a murderer And I won't leave you alone until you say the words.
I'll say these words-- you're out of your fucking mind.
Now why don't you get out of here? How do you get off accusing me of this? This is bullshit! No, it's not bullshit! We know all about you, thigpen.
- We know all about you.
- This is the guy who's been following me.
- He's harassing me and now he's threatening me.
- ( all yelling ) - He's not threatening you.
- Now he's harassing-- - You're threatening me! - I said, everyone, quiet! All right.
- Now, you, back away.
- Ben: He's a criminal.
- I said quiet down! Quiet! Quiet down.
- Wait a minute! - He's a murderer! - That is bullshit.
- Sir, this is your last warning.
- Ben, just quiet down, man.
- Step back.
- What? I'm just telling him to quiet down.
- Now, you-- you made the call, didn't you? - Yes, sir.
Officer: All right, then you tell us why we're here.
This guy has been following for the last-- I don't know how long.
- I can't go anywhere-- - I don't have to listen to this bullshit.
( all yell ) Did you hear me warn you? Did you hear me warn you? - Get on your knees.
- Didn't I warn you? - This is bullshit.
- ( handcuffs click ) - Seth? - Yes? This is getting out of control.
- You have to give me a warning.
- Andrea, please.
Five minutes ago I had maggie coming at me from one side.
Now you're coming at mfrom another.
I know I'm asking a lot, But please just give me a little room to breathe right now, okay? Okay, but the reality is consumer confidence depends-- I don't give a shit about consumer confidence, andrea.
It'll bounce back.
You want to doubt me, Do it on your own time or while you're working for somebody else.
Andrea, I know what I'm doing.
You will soon.
Either believe in me or don't.
You don't need all the fucking answers.
Does that work for you, andrea? 'cause that's the way it is.
Yeah.
Whatever you need.
( knocks on glass ) - We're closed.
- Bo, it's tyler.
Open up.
( boys chatting ) - ( bell rings ) - what's up, bo? Oh, it's a nice place.
You've got a lot of stuff.
- Ask him.
- What's up? We were thinking that maybe - You could get us a six-pack.
- Or two.
Boy: A case is more like it.
Beer, huh? Yeah, no problem.
You see? You see? I told you this motherfucker's cool.
Give him the cash, lorenzano.
Bo: The only thing is If you guys want to party, you've got to party here.
- Oh.
- You guys get wasted, Drive around, get in an accident-- that's my ass.
Come on, man.
We'll be cool.
All right, I'll tell you what-- I'll throw in another $20.
You can get yourself something while you're at it.
Sorry, boys.
That's the deal.
Roger, I'll get the bail money right back to you.
I'm not worried about that, ben.
What I am worried about is this bullshit trouble You and anthony got yourselves into.
Is it over or should I expect more calls like this one? - Now I know where he gets it from.
- What do you mean? This cautious attitude.
You nephew inherited that from you.
This fucked-up middleclass way of thinking.
What gives you the right to be speaking to me that way?! Roger, I've got this.
Let me speak to ben alone.
You want to say shit like that, say it to me.
- He's above your bullshit.
- Is that right? But you're not? Nope, because for some stupid reason I chose to follow you.
I must be crazy, man, 'cause look what it gets me-- On my ass with cuffs on my wrists, man.
Look, I feel awful for what's happened to you, ben, But fuck, man, you're losing it.
I'm trying to help you, but you're beyond help.
I don't need your help, I don't need your pity And that's not why I asked you to join me.
You're chasing a ghost, ben.
You have no proof of anything - And look where it's taken you.
- I don't need fucking proof.
I know he's the guy.
When will it end, ben? When? And when it does-- good or bad, right or wrong-- You'll be no closer to cassie than you were before.
- She'll still be gone.
- Fuck you.
What do you know? Some kid that's sweeping out The floor of his uncle's barbershop? Who are you to talk to me about loss? Go to hell, both of you! Seth, what is this? I'm sorry about earlier, maggie.
I know you're frustrated-- you've been frustrated with me for a while.
And I don't ever want you to feel like You're not a priority in my life.
- ( kisses ) - mmm.
This is nice.
I ordered the pizza myself, bought the wine.
Everything.
I miss my wife.
I want us to have this night together, - Just me and you.
- Mmm.
No calls, no visitors.
Well, I cannot remember the last time that we did something like this.
I know, and that's my fault.
( glass clinks ) - So - ( wine sloshing ) Thank you.
A toast To never forgetting What's really important.
- Mmm.
- Salut.
Salut.
- Ah.
- Mmm.
- Hi.

Kenny's not lurking around somewhere, is he? ( chuckles ) oh, no.
I sent him home early.
Good.
Good.
- Maybe we'll eat later.
- Mmm, sure.
( giggles ) - ( crickets chirping ) - ( rock music playing ) ( burps ) If any of you guys need to puke, You'd better take it to the bathroom.
Yo, relax, man.
No one's gonna puke, But I do have to take a wicked piss.
Ooh.
Nice fucking ride.
- You make this thing? - Bo: Yeah.
You want it? It's yours.
Seriously, man? Thanks.
Tyler buddy, I think you've had enough.
Yeah, ty, listen to your daddy.
Hey, bo, answer me something.
If we paid you $100, Would you take a dump in the street? What the fuck? - You said he'd do anything.
- I didn't say that.
Yeah, I thought he was gonna fuck a whore or something.
- You told him? - It wasn't me.
It was eddie.
- Look, if you open your mouth-- - no fucking way.
Eddie: Yo.
Check this out.
- Lorenzano: What is it? - It's nothing.
My ass.
It's pictures of tyler.
Bo: It's a scrapbook.
It's newspaper articles.
It's not a big deal.
Yo, my dad doesn't have this many pictures of me.
- You must suck a mean cock.
- ( boys laugh ) - Yo yo.
- Watch your mouth, eddie.
Look, you get it, right? I'm your coach, man.
I'm proud of you.
Forget it.
No biggie.
- Hey, we should probably head home.
- Yeah.
Guys, it's early.
- I thought you wanted to go downtown.
- Next time, man.
- Yo, hey, your car.
- You keep it for me.
You're better off, man.
Some people are just bad news.
They know how to find the rain.
Why don't you come on back to the shop, Stay away from that crazy bastard? He's sober for the first time in years.
He's dealing with his daughter's death.
You know, cut him some slack.
After the way he just spoke to you, You're still defending him? Tsk.
What exactly is wrong with you, man? I don't know what's wrong with me.
Maybe I'm as crazy as he is.
Either way, I can't do it, uncle.
Can't do what? Look, I mean no disrespect.
I know you make a lot of people happy, But I can't come back to the barbershop.
That much I know.
It just ain't me.
Let's go on home.
( engine starts ) Oh, baby.
( both moaning ) Yes.
Yes.
Who's my girl? I love you.
I love you.
Seth, I'm having a baby.
We're having a baby.
I don't know why it happened now, but it did.
I can't believe it.
We're having a baby.
( chuckles ) Look, I know that you've been down this road before And that, you know, it didn't work out, But I do think it's gonna be different for us.
Of course it will be.
I know it will be.
- Oh.
- So you're happy? Oh Very.
- ( laughs ) - I love you.
( whispers ) I love you.
( people chatting ) So who's the chatty guy with seth? Jamal rashid selim-- He's the leading eco-architect in dubai.
- What's he doing here? - He's told me nothing, kenny.
I have no idea why jamal was flown in via private jet, And I continue to have no idea what seth is doing Pretty much all the time now.
Maybe you should step out on the fire escape, you know? Get some fresh air.
Or not.
Maybe just stand here and take a few deep breaths.
Maybe.
I'm thinking $100 million State-of-the-art soup kitchen.
That'd be at least $100 million to me.
That's it, isn't it, seth? ( bell rings ) - Hey, ty.
- Hey.
So did anyone yak in the car on the way home last night? Uh, no.
But we did have to get off the 101 so lorenzano could pee.
( chuckles ) I'm glad you stopped by.
I've got next week's workout schedule set.
- I'll print you up a copy.
- Bo-- man, that's-- That's okay.
I don't need it.
I've learned a lot from you these last few weeks, But from now on I think I should just work out With coach v like the rest of the guys.
Are you firing me, tyler? No.
I mean, it's not like you were getting paid or anything.
- I just-- - fucking eddie! - He's got nothing to do with it.
- Bullshit! Tyler, you can be a great pitcher.

Listen, I've got to be honest, tess.
We had some crazy nicknames for you back in the day.

- I bet you did.
It took me awhile to get my act together.

- Yeah, I remember.
Look, don't take this the wrong way, But I thought for sure you'd be dead - Or in jail at least.

He certainly has the resources.

oh, yeah, but you paint it black if it's white build it up to tear it down yeah, it's alive without a thought Not bad, huh? hey-yyy! now you're blown away until you're bleeding get down here, get down there's a wild time in the streets now you cannot fake what you are feeling get down here, get down there's a wild time in the streets I can see you like distraction pointing crooked finger while your vultures circle round all day and when you break it off I hope you choke on it we'll suffocate this state of megalomania now you cannot fake what you are feeling get down here get down, get down there's a wild time in the streets.
( breathing hard ) Ben: Move! I got him, cassie.
This is it.
This is for you, baby.
Thigpen: Why are we out here in the desert, mr.
Cendars? Are you really gonna kill me? You're gonna bury my body out here? This is insane.
The city surrounds a man, Obscures him with shadow and structure.
In the city a man can hide.
But when man appears out in the desert, He is dark against light.
He is vertical against the horizontal.
He's exposed.
He can't hide - And neither can you! - ( gun cocks ) Please, mr.
Cendars, I never hurt cassie.
You gotta believe me.
I understand that you're in a lot of pain, But you're making this all up in your head.
Please let me explain.
You were right.
I had a relationship with cassie.
I did lie about that.
- I fucking knew it.
- But that's it.
That's the only lie.
I would never hurt her.
Oh, bullshit! I need you to say the words.
Say, "I killed your daughter.
" I didn't kill her! This is crazy.
- Why would I want to hurt her? - Because she found out What you were doing: Robbing from your clients, Stealing from your partners.
No, she had nothing to do with it.
Just shut up and say the fucking words! I can't.
I was in love with your daughter.
- I would never hurt her.
- You lied about knowing her, Now you're lying about this.
You killed my daughter.
- Get on your fucking knees! - Oh god.
- Say the words! - I can't.
I was devastated by her death.
I couldn't tell anybody.
( sobbing ) I had to hide my grief.
What the hell did cassie ever see in you? - You.
- What? She saw you in me.
What does that mean? What does that mean? An older man, a father figure.
I was just a stand-in for you.
It broke my fucking heart.
You killed our relationship then.
Now you're gonna kill me here now.
( chuckling ) there's some fucking irony for you.
What are you saying? I'm saying I loved your daughter.
But she didn't love me.
It was you.
She was looking for you.
( sobbing continues ) ( chatting ) ( cameras clicking ) Just to get this out of the way-- For those of you that are wondering, I'm not here to announce I'm bringing a football team to los angeles.
( all chuckle ) But I do have a plan I want to tell you about That I think is pretty exciting.
Every night Roughly 80,000 homeless people Sleep on the streets of los angeles.
For years government agencies And philanthropic organizations Have thrown money at this issue, this problem.
And the result? There are more homeless people On the street than ever before.
So what do we do? How do we help these people? How do we he our city? Today I am announcing That I intend to build a city for the homeless - Right here in los angeles county.
- ( murmurs ) - Son of a bitch.
- A fully-integrated Self-sustaining community that will provide housing, Medical care, education And humanitarian services for up to 100,000 people.
Now there are those who will say, "blanchard, this is an impossible task.
" Others will claim it is some kind of publicity stunt Or worse, an attempt by me To make a profit off the suffering of others.
Which is why I want to make it perfectly clear right here, right now That I intend to pledge my entire fortune-- - $28 billion-- to make this dream come true.
- ( murmuring ) ( reporters speaking loudly ) mr.
Blanchard.
Mr.
Blanchard.
( yells ) Fuck! No no no! Please! No! Ah! Please! Ah! Please! Oh god! Ah! ( crying )
You do not want to piss me off.
Wendy: These kids are on the same team And they should get along with each other.
Bo: The kid has a bad attitude And I don't want it rubbing off on tyler.
I wanna show you something.
( moaning loudly ) - What the hell is your problem? - What is my problem? I don't know.
My husband is missing, he might be insane, My marriage is in shambles and I'm pregnant! My name is kenny battaglia.
I'm investigating a missing person Last seen in the vicinity of north victory boulevard.
What are you doing here? What's going on? Are you okay? Seth: I know that I'm never gonna find out what I'm supposed to do Until I purge myself of all the shit in my life.
There is a market for surveillance videos of violent crimes.
Ben: This is someone that cassie knew.
And I'm gonna find out who it was.
My name is wesley thigpen.
Mr.
Cendars, I didn't know cassie that well.
We would chat from time to time around here.
I don't believe she had any enemies at the club.
He didn't tell us the truth back there And I'm gonna find out why.
His firm has a powerful entertainment division.
It's an impressive client list.
- Slipknot.
- Dr.
Dre, fergie-- We got this at your daughter's-- backstage passes.
- Thigpen was snowing us.
- I fucking knew it.
That son of a bitch.
( gunshot ) No.
No! Kenny: You're really gonna buy all this land? Yes, I am.
All right, well, how much would that set you back? - Like $4, $5 million maybe? - At least.
So what is a man like yourself Gonna do with a huge chunk of land like this? - Honestly.
- Kenny I've told you some pretty juicy secrets since we met.
- That one we'll have to wait on.
- ( chuckles ) - But let me ask you something.
- Yeah? - How do you like this tv? - It's a nice, big fucking tv.
Seth: That is your nice, big fucking tv.
- What? - I want you happy on your downtime.
Well, I appreciate that, But the mattress is making me kind of nervous.
What, are we living down here now? Not exactly, but in case you burn the midnight oil, We'll have a couple of beds to lay our heads on.
That's all.
Sorry, I would've gotten here sooner, But I was going over the galleys with judith.
- Hey, baby.
- Wow, you got your sculpture.
Amazing, huh? He calls it accumulation.
A whole lot of crap in the world-- that's what it's saying, You know, subliminally.
Right? Oh! I've gotta go.
I have an appointment.
Can you and andrea hold down the fort? - Seth, where are you going? - A quick trip.
I won't be long.
I promise.
Maggie, please tell me you have some idea what the hell he's up to.
Stop asking me, andrea.
Seth is gonna tell us soon.
He's buying land.
You realize he's making a move-- I don't know any more than you do-- as simple as that.
( bell rings ) ( lock clicks ) ( beeps, clicking ) ( cell phone ringing ) Hey, mom.
Everything okay? Then why are you calling me? Yeah, I'm at the shop.
Where else would I be? Yeah, I'm putting the money in now.
Jesus christ, mom.
We went through all of this.
I'm not working with tyler, okay? I'm staying at the shop.
No, I don't want you to come in.
Just keep drinking the soup that I made you.
And if your fever doesn't break by tomorrow, You're going to the doctor.
Yes, you are.
Well, sometimes you act like a little kid.
Mom, I'm hanging up now.
Yes, I'll be nice to the customers.
What's that supposed to mean? Mom, I've got to go.
Okay.
I love you too.
Okay.
Goodbye.
( sighs ) ( rattling ) Hey.
I've got three sly stone - Classic vinyls in here.
- All right.
Tell ben I prefer sly sign 'em "to sarge," You know, personalize them a little bit.
Sure, no problem.
Might take a couple of weeks though.
- Not a problem.
That's fine.
- All right.
So what you got for me on thigpen? - Hmm? Wow.
- Yeah, I think you'll like that.
- Cool.
Thanks a lot.
- All right.
The cocksucker manager calls me today, He says some cable network wants To do a reality show about my addicted ass.
They're claiming it's gonna be some kind of an inspirational hour About my attempts at sobriety.
( sighs ) - ( chuckles ) - they'll just be praying That I pick up that spike again.
They want to document my demise, yeah? Maybe even my death.
Vultures.
I don't know.
Manager says it'll help my songs on itunes.
What do you think? Do you think I should do it? Come on, you're a showman.
You're the best frontman from the '80s.
You're born to please the crowd.
( chuckles ) do you know what you'd do? You'll start using just because you know that That's what the tv audience wants to see.
So no, man.
Don't do it.
No way.
- Fuck, man.
- ( both laugh ) Oh, shit.
You know me.
( sighs ) man.
I really miss being in the studio with you, ben.
I do too, brother.
We did some nice work together.
That last album, man-- ( grunts ) We did.
We did.
Well, hell.
God damn it, You're looking good.
You're looking healthy.
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
You're staying sober through some real heartache, man.
You know, I'm proud of you.
Well, I've just replaced one addiction with another.
- That's all, lee.
- What's that mean? Oh, nothing.
You'll get there too.
Will I, ben? I mean, will I really? So what brings you here, ben? Wesley thigpen.
Wesley thigpen? What about him? Well, he's your lawyer, right? Yeah, for about three years.
- What did you make of him? - Well, what are you asking? It's very personal, but I would like you To tell me everything that you know about him.
( laughing ) What? Why are you laughing? I don't know, man.
It's just funny-- You're asking about that motherfucking scumbag.
Six months ago we were serving 500 meals a day.
- Now we're serving closer to 1,000.
- Mm-hmm.
When the economy went south, it took a lot of people with it, right? Yeah.
That family-- do you know their story? The medinas have been living at a motel since February.
Sergio just lost his job.
Now they're staying at different shelters, depending on availability.
And when there are no beds, they're out in the street, right? - Really? - Yeah.
That's fucked up, man-- kids like that without a roof over their heads? Nolanski: He's different than what I expected.
- Yeah? Why's that? - More down to earth.
We get a lot of celebrities in here.
Don't get me wrong.
They're nice, But for many of them this place is just a great photo op.
And here's seth blanchard-- No cameras, no reporters-- Like he's genuinely interested in what we're doing.
Yeah, he does seem very interested.
( whispers ) Come on, man.
You've got to ask out tina.
- She's banged every viking but you.
- I don't know, dude.
- Hey, ty, don't you ever answer your phone? - She seems weird.
I've been calling you all day.
I left my cell at home.
You missed morning practice.
Yeah, my mom's sick.
I've got to stick to the shop.
You know, he can live without you for a day.
This doesn't mean you can slack off.
You still need to concentrate on your core exercises - And your agility drills.
- No problem.
All right.
Well, hopefully she'll feel fine tomorrow, and if not, I'll call you.
- So keep your phone on you.
- Okay.
Is something wrong? Are we good? No, I-- I just hope your mom's okay, that's all.
Hey, bo.
Maybe this weekend - You can put on another show for us.
- ( chuckles ) - Do you think you can handle it? - Fucking a, man.
I don't know about this little bitch here though.
What about it, ty? Are you in? - You know it.
- All right.
You boys practice hard and eat your vegetables And maybe I can arrange a repeat performance.
Look, I've got to get back to the shop.
You, work your program.
Don't let this punk slow you down.
Man, that dude is one sick motherfucker.
Yeah.
Thank you for the help, miss nolanski.
This visit's been very informative.
Mr.
Blanchard, I hate to be so forward, But will you be making a donation today? And what would you do with the money? It depends on the amount.
Right now we could use a new walk-in freezer, Art supplies for the children's playroom.
What's your annual budget? A little over $2 million.
And how long have you worked here? Seven years.
Why? So $14 million.
Do you think it's made a difference? This is the only meal Most of these people will get all day, And since I've been director of this shelter, We've added two full-time social workers, A legal department And access to mail, phone and internet services For anyone who needs it.
Well, you've done good work.
I'll send you a check.
But throwing more money at the problem is not the answer.
I think we need to do something different, Something radical.
Radical can be good, Depending on what you're talking about.
I've got some ideas brewing.
We'd better get going.
Once again, thank you for your time, miss nolanski.
Call me tess.
And if you have any other questions-- Thank you, tess.
Nice to meet you, miss nolanski-- tess.
- Hey, kenny.
- Yeah? Go wildcats.
Seth: Come on, kenny.
Let's go.
So check it out.
These are the sly stone records We need to get signed for the sarge.
In exchange, he gave us this-- The restraining order thigpen's first wife took out on him in 1986 For beating her ass on several occasions.
Uh-huh.
Well, guess what, anthony.
It turns out the son of a bitch has been embezzling for years.
He's overbilling his clients.
He's skimming from his partners.
Look at the picture we've put together on this guy.
Corporate retreat in 1999.
One of the firm's assistants Drowns in a pool-- Suspicious circumstances.
Thigpen is questioned, case is never closed.
And according to his friends and clients He often drinks too much and was once addicted to cocaine.
And now this.
Corporate fraud.
Spousal abuse.
What do you think that all adds up to anthony? Well, a man with a shady past.
This is the portrait of a sociopath.
A sociopath that had a special relationship With cassie, which he lied about.
And maybe cassie was gonna tell his wife about their affair.
Ben: Or she was real close to this guy, She accidentally gets wind of his recent double dealings And the bastard hires someone to get rid of her.
This is the man that had my daughter killed.
My instinct was right about him before And it's right about him now.
Well, what do you want to do about it? I want him to tell me what he did.
I want him to confess to me.
Ben, why don't we just go to the cops? You have enough stuff here for them to maybe reopen the case.
This isn't just about the cops, anthony.
Guys like thigpen-- The justice system won't make him pay for his crimes.
He'll just weasel his way out of it.
He'll buy his freedom.
No, this is the time to ratchet the pressure up On that son of a bitch And see if he fucking cracks.
Go ahead.
Ask him.
Do you have any "star wars" stuff Or "transformers"? I'm afraid not.
That's pretty cool.
Can I see that mustang? Yeah.
Wow.
You know what this is? This is the car that steve mcqueen drove in the movie "bullitt.
" Who's steve mcqueen? Man: It's the coolest guy driving the coolest car In the coolest chase scene of all time.
Dad, it's a car.
- Sorry.
- No, don't worry about it.
I told you they didn't have anything good.
Be straight with me or give me a ballpark at least.
You're gonna give this kitchen, what, a couple mil? A couple mil.
$10 million.
You're gonna throw them $10, $15 mil, aren't you? - Is everybody here? - Yeah, I put them in your office.
What's going on, seth? - They said you called a meeting.
- I did.
You called a board meeting? Why didn't I know anything about it? Because I didn't tell you.
Hi, everybody.
Sorry I'm late.
If you have something to tell me, tell me now.
I think he's gonna give $25, maybe $30 million to a soup kitchen.
Shit, I don't know.
It was just an educated guess.
Ben: This is where the bullshitters gather, Gab and spread their stench.
So where's the king of shit? He'll be out in a minute.
It's his Wednesday haunt.
What are you gonna do, ben? So what's the plan here? I'm gonna get him to say the words "I killed your daughter.
" Why would he ever confess to you? The power of persuasion.
Look, there he is.
He doesn't have one iota of guilt.
Ben, one last time-- hear me out.
Let's get the cops involved.
That's the smart play.
No, I have to do this myself.
Follow him, anthony.
Let that cocksucker know we're right on his ass.
Hey, what are you doing? Come here.
Let me carry those.
- Thank you.
- You all right? Yeah, thank you.
- What is this? - It's a board meeting.
Maggie: Seth didn't say anything about a board meeting.
- Nope.
- Do you kno what it's about? Uh, you know, just-- Kenny, are you going to tell me or do I have to go find out myself? I think he'd rather tell you himself, maybe.
Huh.
You're stepping down as c.
E.
O.
? Why? Because I can no longer focus on running the company.
I have to devote 100% of my time and energy - To this new venture.
- What venture? We're all walking around in the dark here.
- Maggie, hold on-- - no, wait.
You hold on.
Honestly, are you able to stop for one second And think about anyone else but yourself? Seth, how do you think it feels to know absolutely nothing About what's going on down here? You tell me you spoke to god.
You see a mural of a tree on this building so you buy it.
You move your office down here.
- Maggie, I know how you feel.
- Seth, I want to support you But, god, I have no idea what I'm supporting.
Does that seem fair to you? You're right.
You're absolutely right.
I swear I will reveal everything to you very soon.
I just need you to trust me, maggie.
Now I know trust is a very fragile thing right now, But that's what I'm asking you for.
I won't betray that trust.
Never again.
Okay.
But my trust in you is far more fragile than you think it is.
- Where the hell is he going? - Just follow him.
He's pulling over.
Stop the car, anthony.
- He's pulling over.
- All right, all right.
Yeah, it's the alley next to t alley cat cafe.
This guy's been following me for half an hour - Everywhere I go.
- No no no.
Get here as soon as you can.
Thank you.
No, I do this part alone, man to man, Just the two of us.
I won't do anything stupid.
( mutters ) I've got him, cassie.
I'm not gonna let him go.
Mr.
Cendars, what's going on? Why are you following me? - Why did you lie to me? - I don't know what you're talking about.
- What is your problem with me? - I know about you and cassie.
I know you were together.
You fucking lied to me.
You are wrong.
You've been misinformed.
I don't know what the hell my daughter saw in you.
Why don't you just back away from me right now Before somebody gets hurt? I've had enough of this - And I don't appreciate these accusations.
- Hey, I know all about you.
Did cassie know about you? Did she find out about you? Did she listen to the wrong conversation - And you had her killed for it? - ( siren blaring ) - What is wrong with you? - You're a murderer And I won't leave you alone until you say the words.
I'll say these words-- you're out of your fucking mind.
Now why don't you get out of here? How do you get off accusing me of this? This is bullshit! No, it's not bullshit! We know all about you, thigpen.
- We know all about you.
- This is the guy who's been following me.
- He's harassing me and now he's threatening me.
- ( all yelling ) - He's not threatening you.
- Now he's harassing-- - You're threatening me! - I said, everyone, quiet! All right.
- Now, you, back away.
- Ben: He's a criminal.
- I said quiet down! Quiet! Quiet down.
- Wait a minute! - He's a murderer! - That is bullshit.
- Sir, this is your last warning.
- Ben, just quiet down, man.
- Step back.
- What? I'm just telling him to quiet down.
- Now, you-- you made the call, didn't you? - Yes, sir.
Officer: All right, then you tell us why we're here.
This guy has been following for the last-- I don't know how long.
- I can't go anywhere-- - I don't have to listen to this bullshit.
( all yell ) Did you hear me warn you? Did you hear me warn you? - Get on your knees.
- Didn't I warn you? - This is bullshit.
- ( handcuffs click ) - Seth? - Yes? This is getting out of control.
- You have to give me a warning.
- Andrea, please.
Five minutes ago I had maggie coming at me from one side.
Now you're coming at mfrom another.
I know I'm asking a lot, But please just give me a little room to breathe right now, okay? Okay, but the reality is consumer confidence depends-- I don't give a shit about consumer confidence, andrea.
It'll bounce back.
You want to doubt me, Do it on your own time or while you're working for somebody else.
Andrea, I know what I'm doing.
You will soon.
Either believe in me or don't.
You don't need all the fucking answers.
Does that work for you, andrea? 'cause that's the way it is.
Yeah.
Whatever you need.
( knocks on glass ) - We're closed.
- Bo, it's tyler.
Open up.
( boys chatting ) - ( bell rings ) - what's up, bo? Oh, it's a nice place.
You've got a lot of stuff.
- Ask him.
- What's up? We were thinking that maybe - You could get us a six-pack.
- Or two.
Boy: A case is more like it.
Beer, huh? Yeah, no problem.
You see? You see? I told you this motherfucker's cool.
Give him the cash, lorenzano.
Bo: The only thing is If you guys want to party, you've got to party here.
- Oh.
- You guys get wasted, Drive around, get in an accident-- that's my ass.
Come on, man.
We'll be cool.
All right, I'll tell you what-- I'll throw in another $20.
You can get yourself something while you're at it.
Sorry, boys.
That's the deal.
Roger, I'll get the bail money right back to you.
I'm not worried about that, ben.
What I am worried about is this bullshit trouble You and anthony got yourselves into.
Is it over or should I expect more calls like this one? - Now I know where he gets it from.
- What do you mean? This cautious attitude.
You nephew inherited that from you.
This fucked-up middleclass way of thinking.
What gives you the right to be speaking to me that way?! Roger, I've got this.
Let me speak to ben alone.
You want to say shit like that, say it to me.
- He's above your bullshit.
- Is that right? But you're not? Nope, because for some stupid reason I chose to follow you.
I must be crazy, man, 'cause look what it gets me-- On my ass with cuffs on my wrists, man.
Look, I feel awful for what's happened to you, ben, But fuck, man, you're losing it.
I'm trying to help you, but you're beyond help.
I don't need your help, I don't need your pity And that's not why I asked you to join me.
You're chasing a ghost, ben.
You have no proof of anything - And look where it's taken you.
- I don't need fucking proof.
I know he's the guy.
When will it end, ben? When? And when it does-- good or bad, right or wrong-- You'll be no closer to cassie than you were before.
- She'll still be gone.
- Fuck you.
What do you know? Some kid that's sweeping out The floor of his uncle's barbershop? Who are you to talk to me about loss? Go to hell, both of you! Seth, what is this? I'm sorry about earlier, maggie.
I know you're frustrated-- you've been frustrated with me for a while.
And I don't ever want you to feel like You're not a priority in my life.
- ( kisses ) - mmm.
This is nice.
I ordered the pizza myself, bought the wine.
Everything.
I miss my wife.
I want us to have this night together, - Just me and you.
- Mmm.
No calls, no visitors.
Well, I cannot remember the last time that we did something like this.
I know, and that's my fault.
( glass clinks ) - So - ( wine sloshing ) Thank you.
A toast To never forgetting What's really important.
- Mmm.
- Salut.
Salut.
- Ah.
- Mmm.
- Hi.
- My baby.
Kenny's not lurking around somewhere, is he? ( chuckles ) oh, no.
I sent him home early.
Good.
Good.
- Maybe we'll eat later.
- Mmm, sure.
( giggles ) - ( crickets chirping ) - ( rock music playing ) ( burps ) If any of you guys need to puke, You'd better take it to the bathroom.
Yo, relax, man.
No one's gonna puke, But I do have to take a wicked piss.
Ooh.
Nice fucking ride.
- You make this thing? - Bo: Yeah.
You want it? It's yours.
Seriously, man? Thanks.
Tyler buddy, I think you've had enough.
Yeah, ty, listen to your daddy.
Hey, bo, answer me something.
If we paid you $100, Would you take a dump in the street? What the fuck? - You said he'd do anything.
- I didn't say that.
Yeah, I thought he was gonna fuck a whore or something.
- You told him? - It wasn't me.
It was eddie.
- Look, if you open your mouth-- - no fucking way.
Eddie: Yo.
Check this out.
- Lorenzano: What is it? - It's nothing.
My ass.
It's pictures of tyler.
Bo: It's a scrapbook.
It's newspaper articles.
It's not a big deal.
Yo, my dad doesn't have this many pictures of me.
- You must suck a mean cock.
- ( boys laugh ) - Yo yo.
- Watch your mouth, eddie.
Look, you get it, right? I'm your coach, man.
I'm proud of you.
Forget it.
No biggie.
- Hey, we should probably head home.
- Yeah.
Guys, it's early.
- I thought you wanted to go downtown.
- Next time, man.
- Yo, hey, your car.
- You keep it for me.
You're better off, man.
Some people are just bad news.
They know how to find the rain.
Why don't you come on back to the shop, Stay away from that crazy bastard? He's sober for the first time in years.
He's dealing with his daughter's death.
You know, cut him some slack.
After the way he just spoke to you, You're still defending him? Tsk.
What exactly is wrong with you, man? I don't know what's wrong with me.
Maybe I'm as crazy as he is.
Either way, I can't do it, uncle.
Can't do what? Look, I mean no disrespect.
I know you make a lot of people happy, But I can't come back to the barbershop.
That much I know.
It just ain't me.
Let's go on home.
( engine starts ) Oh, baby.
( both moaning ) Yes.
Yes.
Who's my girl? I love you.
I love you.
Seth, I'm having a baby.
We're having a baby.
I don't know why it happened now, but it did.
I can't believe it.
We're having a baby.
( chuckles ) Look, I know that you've been down this road before And that, you know, it didn't work out, But I do think it's gonna be different for us.
Of course it will be.
I know it will be.
- Oh.

- What's he doing here? - He's told me nothing, kenny.
I have no idea why jamal was flown in via private jet, And I continue to have no idea what seth is doing Pretty much all the time now.
Maybe you should step out on the fire escape, you know? Get some fresh air.
Or not.
Maybe just stand here and take a few deep breaths.
Maybe.
I'm thinking $100 million State-of-the-art soup kitchen.
That'd be at least $100 million to me.

( breathing hard ) Ben: Move! I got him, cassie.
This is it.
This is for you, baby.
Thigpen: Why are we out here in the desert, mr.
Cendars? Are you really gonna kill me? You're gonna bury my body out here? This is insane.
The city surrounds a man, Obscures him with shadow and structure.
In the city a man can hide.
But when man appears out in the desert, He is dark against light.
He is vertical against the horizontal.
He's exposed.
He can't hide - And neither can you! - ( gun cocks ) Please, mr.
Cendars, I never hurt cassie.
You gotta believe me.
I understand that you're in a lot of pain, But you're making this all up in your head.
Please let me explain.
You were right.
I had a relationship with cassie.
I did lie about that.
- I fucking knew it.
- But that's it.
That's the only lie.
I would never hurt her.
Oh, bullshit! I need you to say the words.
Say, "I killed your daughter.
" I didn't kill her! This is crazy.
- Why would I want to hurt her? - Because she found out What you were doing: Robbing from your clients, Stealing from your partners.
No, she had nothing to do with it.
Just shut up and say the fucking words! I can't.
I was in love with your daughter.
- I would never hurt her.
- You lied about knowing her, Now you're lying about this.
You killed my daughter.
- Get on your fucking knees! - Oh god.
- Say the words! - I can't.
I was devastated by her death.
I couldn't tell anybody.
( sobbing ) I had to hide my grief.
What the hell did cassie ever see in you? - You.
- What? She saw you in me.
What does that mean? What does that mean? An older man, a father figure.
I was just a stand-in for you.
It broke my fucking heart.
You killed our relationship then.
Now you're gonna kill me here now.
( chuckling ) there's some fucking irony for you.
What are you saying? I'm saying I loved your daughter.
But she didn't love me.
It was you.
She was looking for you.
( sobbing continues ) ( chatting ) ( cameras clicking ) Just to get this out of the way-- For those of you that are wondering, I'm not here to announce I'm bringing a football team to los angeles.
( all chuckle ) But I do have a plan I want to tell you about That I think is pretty exciting.
Every night Roughly 80,000 homeless people Sleep on the streets of los angeles.
For years government agencies And philanthropic organizations Have thrown money at this issue, this problem.
And the result? There are more homeless people On the street than ever before.
So what do we do? How do we help these people? How do we he our city? Today I am announcing That I intend to build a city for the homeless - Right here in los angeles county.
- ( murmurs ) - Son of a bitch.
- A fully-integrated Self-sustaining community that will provide housing, Medical care, education And humanitarian services for up to 100,000 people.
Now there are those who will say, "blanchard, this is an impossible task.
" Others will claim it is some kind of publicity stunt Or worse, an attempt by me To make a profit off the suffering of others.
Which is why I want to make it perfectly clear right here, right now That I intend to pledge my entire fortune-- - $28 billion-- to make this dream come true.
- ( murmuring ) ( reporters speaking loudly ) mr.
Blanchard.
Mr.
Blanchard.
( yells ) Fuck! No no no! Please! No! Ah! Please! Ah! Please! Oh god! Ah! ( crying )
