Crash s02e06 Episode Script

Previously on "Crash" This is the portrait of the sociopath that had a special relationship with Cassie which he lied about.
- Get on your fucking knees.
- Oh God.
I loved your daughter.
She didn't love me.
She was looking for you.
Check this out.
It's pictures of Tyler.
My dad doesn't have this many pictures of me.
You must suck a mean cock.
From now on I think I should just work out with Coach V like the rest of the guys.
- You firing me, Tyler? - It's not like you - Fucking Eddie.
- He's got nothing to do Bullshit.
Baby, I like dreaming with you.
This isn't gonna end any better than this.
Six months ago we were serving 500 meals a day.
Now we're serving closer to 1000.
Throwing more money at the problem is not the answer.
I think we need to do something radical.
I am announcing that I intend to build a city for the homeless right here in Los Angeles County.
I pledge my entire fortune, $28 billion, to make this dream come true.
Okay, we're back and we're talking about Seth Blanchard's announcement that he plans to build a city for the homeless.
Rich, you're on the air.
Yeah, a few weeks ago I was at the coffee bean standing behind this guy in an Armani suit with an entourage of bodyguards.
Turns out it was Seth Blanchard.
Meanwhile outside there's these three homeless guys begging for money.
Blanchard walked right by and ignored them.
State and city officials admit they had no previous knowledge of Blanchard's ambitious plan to build a city for the homeless right here in Los Angeles County, which had many people asking if Seth Blanchard is so committed to solving the homeless crisis I'll tell him how to solve it.
Gas 'em.
You're such a pig, Jimmy.
First he backed off from building a football stadium.
Then he stepped down as CEO of his own company.
Now he's pledged his entire fortune to build a city for the homeless.
Has seth Blanchard, one of the world's richest men, lost his mind or is he truly a visionary? We'd like to hear from you.
Please email your comments to If I were homeless right now, a project like this came along and the press started shitting all over it, I'd be pissed, man.
Once I get the numbers back and lay out all the specs, any questions people have about this thing will be put to rest.
So what, in the meantime I got to put up with a bunch of idiot reporters Who badger me to give them access to you? Welcome to the fishbowl.
Ahem.
So what do you want to do? Want to sit around here, watch yourself get insulted? Or go back to the mansion where you should be a little more comfortable? I actually think I'm gonna stay here this weekend.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Here? - Doesn't mean you have to.
I don't need you this weekend.
Take some time for yourself.
Are you sure you'll be okay being alone? I mean, don't take this the wrong way, but this ain't exactly the friendliest neighborhood.
I've got remy downstairs.
No one's getting up here.
I got you.
Maggie's on a book tour, schiller's in napa And I get time to myself.
That's all you got to say, boss.
Coach.
Bo.
Hey, coach.
Look, I had some time today.
I just thought I'd come by and see how practice was going.
Come on, Bo.
You shouldn't be here right now, you know that.
Shouldn't be here? Coach, this is our field.
Bo, this isn't working.
Sometimes things just don't work out.
You did some good.
You helped us for a bit.
You helped Tyler.
But it's over now.
I know Tyler spoke to you about this.
This is a mistake, coach.
Maybe you let me talk to Tyler or the team.
Let them hear where I'm coming from.
Sorry, that's just not gonna work.
Eddie alvarez's arm is shattered.
He'll be lucky if he can write his name much less throw a baseball.
- But I - Do I believe you did it? - No I don't.
I don't think you got that kind of heart, Bo.
But we all know you and eddie didn't get along.
And everyone knows the cops spoke to you.
You just can't hang around here anymore.
Coach v, there was a misunderstanding somewhere.
Some wires got crossed.
You've got to believe me.
I just want Tyler to be great.
I know he can be great.
I have a responsibility to Tyler, to the team, to the school.
This isn't easy for me to say, but you make the kids uncomfortable.
I just push them too hard.
I do that.
I push to get results and it backfires.
- But I can fix that.
- There's nothing you can fix here.
If we could just get back to where we were.
Coach I don't have Don't make me call security, Bo.
Hey.
Oh, hi.
I'm looking for Owen or suzy.
You're Ben cendars, aren't you? This is unbelievable.
I can't believe you're here.
Owen didn't say anything about you coming by.
Well, it's kind of a surprise.
I know everything about you, man.
I mean, not just the music, but that stuff is amazing.
The stuff you did with Owen, you guys practically defined the '60s.
Well, we had a little help.
I'm Ryan.
I'm a grad student at L.
M.
U.
I'm actually here interviewing Owen for my dissertation: "a conversation with a psychedelic outlaw.
" - It's nice, right? - Yeah.
So do you think I could interview you while you're here? I mean, I would be really honored.
Yeah well, I don't know how long I'm gonna stay.
Uh, is Owen here? Oh right, sorry.
Um, yeah.
He's in his office.
I'll show you.
Come on.
- Owen.
- Enter.
You've got a visitor.
Jules said you were a man on a mission, but I never thought you'd actually make it out here.
Um, do you mind if I go get my tape recorder? I mean, what's it been, 30 years since you guys have been in the same room as each other? I feel like this is Would you mind giving us a minute, Ryan? Sure thing, yeah.
You've got a live one there.
Yeah.
I don't mind.
Reminds me of us in our youth.
No filter on our passion.
It's been a long time, Ben.
Yeah, I know that you tried to keep in touch and I let it slide.
- I owe you an apology.
- No need.
Suzy and I have had a great life together.
If you hadn't walked out on her, I couldn't have walked in.
If anything, I owe you.
If, uh, she Don't worry, she's out picking up groceries.
- How is she? - Still a knockout.
Better than either of us deserve.
But man, she had blood in her eyes when you didn't show up for Cassie's funeral.
Well, I'm sure she's been furious at me for the last 30 years.
The service was beautiful.
It would have been nice if her father had been there.
You were there.
And you were more of a father to Cassie than I ever was.
Nothing's ever gonna change that.
- No.
- That's the simple truth of it, whether you find her killer or not.
You grieve your way and I'll grieve mine.
Going after Cassie's killer is just another way to put off grieving, Ben.
- You've got to see that.
- Do I? I guess not.
Sometimes clarity is a long time coming.
Man, you're still living the life.
Somehow I knew you would be.
There she is.
Go on out and take your medicine.
Bo, what are you doing here? Hey.
I came by to say that I'm sorry.
I know what I did wrong.
I came at you too hard too quick.
I did it to myself when I played and that's one of the reasons I burned out.
- It's all right.
- No.
No, it's all messed up now.
I mean, people just people take things the wrong way sometimes, Tyler.
They look at things wrong.
Don't worry about it.
It's fine.
That thing in the alley with the hooker, I thought you'd like that.
And the scrapbook, that was just to motivate you.
That was all it was supposed to be.
But people don't get that.
But you get it, right, Tyler? Sure, I get it.
Look, I really got to go.
All right.
Hey, call me whenever you need to.
I'm here.
What idiot came all the way out here in a limo? This idiot.
Well, look who it is.
Goes out for a pack of cigarettes, and 30 years later he's back with sunglasses and a goatee.
You still look amazing.
How can I stay mad at you When you're such a smooth talker? You should have been at Cassie's funeral.
I would have been there, but No, no more of Ben cendars' excuses.
I'm not here to make excuses.
I know exactly why you're here.
I need your help.
I need to know everything I can about Cassie Her friends, her hobbies, her dreams.
So you think I'm gonna provide you with some kind of clue that's gonna help you find out who murdered her? I'm gonna make him pay.
I'm gonna make that fuck suffer.
And that's gonna make everything okay? You walked out on me.
You walked out on our kids.
Nothing is gonna fix that, Ben.
- Ever.
- I know that.
No, don't do that.
Don't try to agree with me on everything.
It just makes me want to smack the shit out of you.
Well, go ahead if it makes you feel better.
It would.
I don't have time for this right now.
I have to get ready for the party.
Oh, what party? You know what? Maybe it is a good thing that you're back.
Maybe for once in your life you can actually come through for people who need you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
What party? It's a celebration of life.
A celebration of life? Who's dying? Not Owen? No, don't tell me that.
It's liver cancer.
He's got a couple of months at best.
I'm so sorry.
Shh.
All right, quiet down.
Silence.
Please please.
Now for my sixth and final toast of the night, I'd like to say to Charlie that although his wife-to-be said no naked ladies For his bachelor party, she didn't say anything about naked men.
Which is why I'm going to order up another bottle of champagne, drink most of it by myself and then show the groom my ghostly white ass.
Be careful, Kieran, you fucker.
Another few drinks and I might reach for that ass of yours.
Whatever you wish.
It's your night.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Excuse me, but did that sound just a touch gay? I'm sure everybody knew you were kidding.
Besides, you're british.
Who would know? Oh, that's very comforting.
- It's Eva, right? - Inez.
Fantastic start.
I'm embarrassing myself already.
I have a question for you, Inez, and I want you to be completely honest with me.
I'll try.
Have I been terribly annoying tonight? More than your usual clientele? No, not at all.
Your toasts have been interesting.
You are the worst, most gorgeous liar I've ever met.
I'll take it as a compliment.
You should.
You definitely should.
Mm-hmm.
I must say, I imagined a hostess club would be a bit of a letdown for a bachelor party, but it's actually been a nice surprise.
Really? Glad to hear that.
Christ! Well done, Kieran.
Can I do something? What can I do? - Can I do something? - It's okay.
It's just a dress.
- It's not okay.
- I'll just take it off.
That was the plan, right? I'm absolutely mortified right now.
Kieran, really, it's fine.
I'll be back.
Holy shit, Paul! I don't believe it.
Hey, dad.
How are you doing? I'm doing great now seeing you.
It feels like a fucking miracle.
Yeah, it's been a while.
Just thought I'd check out this kingdom you're building myself.
It's not a kingdom, Paul.
It's a city for the homeless.
Oh, sounds very noble.
It's the most important thing I've ever done.
Even you'd be impressed.
Look at this.
Here are some preliminary sketches.
Check this out.
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
You know, I'm sure it's very impressive.
I just don't really think I can handle a sales pitch right now.
A sales pitch? What would I be trying to sell you? You're my son.
I thought you'd be interested in what I'm trying to do.
This is gonna happen, Paul.
I'm gonna make it happen.
- Okay.
- So you want to see some blueprints? - Dad, I just got here.
- You're right, I'm sorry.
There's no need to rush things.
So you are gonna stick around a while, aren't you? If that's what you want.
Of course it is.
Good.
I could play the good son for a few days.
You realize of course your blow habit has to cease as we move forward? Purely recreational.
Straight up.
Hey, baby.
How was work? You make out okay? What the hell is going on in my house, Jimmy? Oh yeah, it's cool.
Bobby and me, we just got some work to do filling up these boxes.
Then we'll be out of your hair.
Just got to make a few deliveries and then you and me are going on a big time vacation.
That's right, Inez.
It's a new day.
Jimmy's all paid up and we're partners now.
It's a beautiful thing.
What the hell is all this, Jimmy? I won it on "the price is right.
" See, the key, Inez, is to always go for the second showcase.
First showcase is always bullshit.
The second, a jet ski.
Baby, this is you and me in hawaii.
This right here, this is cozumel.
Fuck, this one here is fucking Fiji.
Fiji.
Jimmy Jim, tell me, how long ago did you physically remove your testicles and give them to your lady? It's all right.
I'll be right back.
Fucking dump.
Stolen merchandise in my house.
Inez, these boxes are rent for the rest of the year.
Maybe a few less shifts at the club.
I'm taking care of business and it's not at the tables.
I want them and him out of my house.
You don't think I know how fucked up this is? That guy out there made our lives hell.
He beat my ass, stole your shit.
But now it's our turn to use him.
All I got to do is move some merchandise with him and collect a big fat payday.
We're talking real money this time.
If I wake up and he's here two hours and we're out.
Three hours tops.
Thank you.
Ugh! These tree-lined streets are pedestrian walkways.
They're closed to motorized traffic, but we will have bicycle taxis.
That's very green of you, dad.
Well, that's part of the concept every step of the way.
It's gonna be the most environmentally progressive city on the planet.
What? Nothing.
The homeless, the environment Why don't you cure cancer in your spare time? Maybe I'll try that next, Paul.
What are you trying to prove? That you've got a heart or a soul? It's a little late for that, don't you think? Paul.
I know I have a lot to apologize for, but I'm not the same man you knew growing up.
Okay, dad, I get it.
The economy's in the toilet, people are suffering.
You're feeling guilty.
Guilty? No.
I took a couple of hits in the last year or so, believe me.
I'll bet you have.
I'll bet you lost millions, Maybe even a couple billion.
But so what? We both know the american dream can never fail you, 'cause you're one of the guys who owns the dream.
And I used to think that was enough.
But I was wrong.
It's not.
There has to be something more, some deeper meaning.
If you wanted to find meaning, you could have looked a little closer to home.
You're right.
You're right.
I made mistakes with you.
Mistakes? You were never there unless I fucked up so badly you had no choice but to come and clean up my mess.
You know, it took me a while, but I finally figured out how to score a little daddy time.
I said I was sorry, Paul.
I don't know what else to say.
Look, dad, Build your city.
If anyone can do it, you can.
But this is never gonna be your legacy.
Why? Because I am.
Mom, turn on the air.
What, and have our energy Bill Skyrocket? No thank you.
This newspaper will do just fine.
Hey.
How can I help you? I heard this is the place for the best train sets and I should talk to Bo olinville.
- He'd hook me up.
- I'm Bo.
Here's my wish list.
You've been served.
Have a good day.
What is it? Unbelievable.
Talk to me, Bo.
I'm serious.
It's a restraining order.
I have to stay 100 feet away from Tyler.
Why would he do this? I told you that this boy was a brat.
I told you he didn't deserve your help.
He's 16 years old, mom.
It's not him.
It's his parents.
It's his father.
He just doesn't understand his son's potential.
They don't appreciate you.
But hey, you know what? This means you can focus more on the store where you belong.
Me and you together, we're gonna make this store better than ever, Bo.
Those babies chew up sunlight and spit it out as power, enough for the whole house and then some.
It's promethean, Ben.
I harvest rainwater.
The windows are all triple glazed.
We have computer-controlled electronic shades.
Last week I got a phone call from seth Blanchard.
We wants to build an entire city for the homeless using this type of green technology.
Well, it's really nice what you're doing out here.
Owen, it's really nice.
You wouldn't say that if you knew what you were looking at.
What am I looking at? That right there.
It's a wastewater treatment system.
Millions of microorganisms are busy burning through some pretty foul stuff.
Basically you're looking at a pool full of piss and shit.
You're looking at the future.
Suzy told you.
What, you didn't want me to know? No, I'm glad.
I didn't know how to tell you myself.
But you're fighting it, right? No surrender and all that.
There's got to be something that they can do.
They've done it all.
I'm still dying.
Denial, anger, depression You name it, I've felt it.
Now I've reached acceptance.
this is happening whether I like it or not, which for the record I don't.
Well, then fight it, for Christ's sake.
You're younger than I am.
I'm the one at's supposed to go first.
It goes against the order of things.
- Shit happens, Benny.
- It's just not right.
I mean, you helped alter the consciousness of this country.
And I'm not talking about drugs.
I'm talking about your books.
I'm talking about your wisdom.
I'm talking about the essential truth of being in the moment and seeing it for what it is naked, real, with clarity.
You helped people think for themselves.
I think they used that sentiment in a commercial for Khakis last year.
Then I hope they sold a lot because truth abides.
Yeah.
That may be.
All that was a long time ago.
I lived that, now I have to live this.
Yeah, I get it.
You can't even live in the past when you're dying.
Well, that's easy for you to say.
You have no regrets.
You didn't walk out on a family.
You didn't abandon your kids.
Bullshit, I don't have regrets.
I haven't written a novel in 25 years.
I got famous then spent 20 years giving speeches about the old days.
I made big pronouncements: the written word is dead anything so I didn't have to write.
But cancer tends to focus your mind, Benny Even better than acid.
No.
Regrets are useless.
They just keep you from moving on.
Thanks, man.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Tyler! A restraining order? Really, man? This is crazy.
What, are you afraid of me now? I was just trying to help you.
Yeah, go on, run away.
What's wrong? Go back inside.
Hey, Inez.
You have a visitor.
Hello, Mr.
Tindall.
Happy to see you're among the living.
Well, I cut it close.
It took me an hour just to get my eyes open this morning.
But I've come to make up for my oafish behavior.
Don't worry about it.
In my line of work there's no use crying over spilled champagne.
Well, then consider this a gift for being so gracious.
I hope it fits.
But if it doesn't, Stella's a friend and we can find something that does.
Let's find out, shall we? Zip me up.
- Wow.
- He did good.
He did, didn't he? Wow.
And he seems like a really nice guy without being boring.
Mm-hmm, girl, you keep batting them lashes and reeling them in.
A successful man like that on the line and who knows what he'll buy you next? I'd shoot for a one-way ticket to anywhere but here.
It was an ad in the paper.
Subjects wanted for drug research at Menlo Park Hospital.
We didn't know that the CIA was conducting these things.
But they paid money and I said sign me up.
So I get there and I'm in this waiting room with this very serious looking biochemist guy and this elderly woman.
And then suddenly in walks this young kid.
And he goes and he sits right across from me.
And we take one look at each other and both of us just burst out laughing.
'Cause here we are, two bozos just looking for a free high.
And they lived happily ever after.
But it started something very important.
Kesey, Ginsberg and Owen here they opened their minds and they opened the culture.
And they changed the way people Look at the world.
And for the better mostly.
And for that ahem we'd like to thank you, you big bozo.
All right, Suzy, your turn.
- How did you meet Owen? - Whoa.
Go ahead, babe.
- It's a good one.
- Oh boy.
Well, all right.
But some of you Are really way too young to remember this.
In 1967 there was a huge Vietnam war protest in Washington.
And some of us were really there on a mission.
I think it was abby's idea, wasn't it? Oh, he was full of them.
Anyway, the plan was to surround the pentagon and levitate it.
Yeah, we were gonna chant it off the ground.
I know it's goofy, but we were trying to make a point.
And for a minute there, I really thought we were gonna get it up into the air.
And guess who's big idea it was to bring her there for a first date? Anyway at that time all of us were running around in the same circles, but I had never met Owen.
He was supposed to give a speech that night.
Anyway, there were 55,000 marchers and 2,500 national guardsmen.
And it did not end well for us.
Yeah.
Ben and I were handcuffed and we were thrown in the back of different paddywagons.
Do you remember what I called out to you as we were being pulled apart? Uh "but do thy worst to steal thyself away.
" For term of life, thou are assured mine.
" And that's where I come in.
Thank God.
Wow.
Yes.
My darling Owen rescued us.
He bailed us both out of jail that night.
And I'm still I'm still forever in his debt.
That is so sweet.
Enough of this.
Who's up for some dancing? - Oh, dancing.
- Yeah.
You know, Paul, I was hardly the perfect father.
But you weren't exactly a model son.
All the partying you used to do.
Oh my God.
The alcohol, the drugs you were the poster boy for fucked up children of privilege.
I played my part.
And you played yours.
Are you saying it's my fault you smashed up your car? No, I'm responsible for ending up in an emergency room on the other side of the world.
But you are responsible for not even showing up.
You sent schiller to look after me.
What is that? Some sort of a lesson? That was a mistake.
I can't change it.
- But you can do this? - What? You can build a city for strangers.
What does that mean? Are you saying this project is penance for having been a shitty father? I'd like to think I had something to do with it.
That would be something anyway.
When I was a kid I used to wonder, did you not want a kid or did you just not want me? That's a lousy thing to say, Paul.
I loved you.
I always did.
It's just Go ahead, say it.
It's just I never quite loved you enough.
Okay.
I asked.
Paul, I can't help what's gone down between us.
All I can do all we can do is move forward.
Maybe.
Maybe you can, dad.
It's just not that easy for me.
- You tired? - A little.
Whoa.
I'd forgotten how much Cassie looked like you.
Your eyes are identical.
Have you been to visit her grave yet? No.
It's lovely.
It's green and it's quiet.
I found peace there, especially in the face of what's going on with Owen.
You know I certainly could use a little more peace these days.
Suzy.
No.
I've hated you for 30 years.
And I just keep trying to hang onto that feeling.
But right now I'm glad you're here.
You can carry some of the burden, some of the sadness.
Well, I'm here.
Whatever you want from me, whatever you need me to do, you just tell me.
I know the heimlich, but I can't get my arms around him.
So pure desperation move.
I circle around in front of him, I look him dead in the eyes and I slam my fist, like right into his stomach.
Not a second later, four, five ounces of lamb just comes shooting right over my shoulder like it was shot from a canon.
Uh-oh.
You wanted a happy ending and there you are.
Wow, I haven't laughed like this in a really long time.
That can't be true.
I mean, not with a client anyway.
Right, client.
Not with anyone.
Let me guess.
You have a toast.
Right.
I'm very predictable.
- A toast, right? - Mm-hmm.
To more laughs in the future.
So does that mean we're gonna see each other tomorrow? Yes, but I was sort of hoping That it wouldn't be as a client.
You know? I know that living in the past is no way to live, but sometimes reminiscing can be sweet.
- It was a good night.
- It was a great night.
Too bad it's all downhill from here.
You know, it is really hard for me to believe that you're dying because you look better than me.
A fabulous mirage.
I'm taking more dope now than I ever did.
And it's all legal.
Painkillers, diuretics, just about every other prescription drug under the sun.
When it's about time for another round of pills, I get glimpses of what's coming.
It's a damn shame to have your beautiful wife change the pants you pissed in.
That's why I'm gonna ask you for a favor, Ben.
Anything.
What the hell is this, Owen? That's nembutal.
What the hell, Owen? I mean do you want to get high one last time? I just got sober.
It's not for you.
It's for me.
All of it.
This much shit will kill you, Owen.
That's the general idea.
Ben this next month is gonna be nothing but bad.
I don't want to go through that.
And I don't want to put suzy through that.
But I can't do it myself.
You want me to kill you? When you showed up on my doorstep, it all clicked into place.
It's supposed to be you.
It's why you came back.
That's fucking ridiculous.
I came back to find Cassie's killer, not to do this.
I loved that girl.
She might as well have been my own.
And I have not been able to wrap my mind around why she was taken.
But now I'm thinking That maybe, just maybe, something good might come out of her death.
She brought you back to us.
Now when I need you most.
Suzy will never forgive me.
I'm willing to pay that price if you are.
So you closed up at 10:00 p.
m.
? Yes, and I locked the door.
I know I did.
You did.
You always do.
You happen to notice anyone hanging around the premises before you went home for the evening? No, I didn't see anyone when I left the store.
None of the other shop owners saw anyone either.
And nothing was stolen? Not as far as we can tell.
Probably just some punk kids getting their jollies then.
It's a damn shame.
Seems like a nice store.
- It was.
- I'll leave you a copy of this police report.
Your insurance company is gonna ask for it.
They should cover the damages since the alarm system failed.
Need a few minutes, okay? Mom, that's good news.
Everything's gonna get taken care of.
We'll be back in business in no time.
Bo, I made a terrible mistake.
I canceled our alarm service.
Canceled it? - Why would you do that? - It was just more money.
I guess I was hoping something like this wasn't gonna happen.
Unbelievable.
Mom, you don't make decisions like that without talking to me first.
It was a mistake.
I said I was sorry.
And quit acting like you don't know that Tyler was behind this.
He wouldn't do this.
If it wasn't him, it was his friends.
- You don't know that.
- Yes, we do.
What is wrong with you, Bo? Are you so caught up with this kid that you can't see what he's doing? He's making a fool out of you, Bo.
And me.
Tell me who did it.
I want to know right now who put you up to it.
Say their names.
I want to hear their fucking names! Trashing my store? That's all we got.
After all I've done for you, how could you do this to me? Leave me alone! I'm sorry.
Tyler, I'm sorry.
Thought you'd left.
Came back.
Why? 'Cause you were finally honest with me.
That's all I ever wanted.
I'm sorry you had to wait so long.
You know, dad, I've got to admit this city is pretty fucking cool.
You know, if the real place turns out anytng like it, I might just move in myself.
Paul, I want you to think about something.
I want to ask you to stay here and work with me.
Help me build this city.
I can't stay, dad.
You know that.
Yeah.
I know.
When they called you about the accident they said it was a fender bender.
No one was hurt.
That you were up and around walking and talking.
That's why I sent andrea.
But by the time she got there I was already dead.
It should have been me on that plane.
I am so sorry.
So what happens now? You go away? Disappear? Dad, if you want to visit me, you know where to find me.
But I am glad I came back.
Paul, I can hear God speaking to me.
I'm seeing my dead son.
Am I insane? Dad, anybody can talk about building a city for the homeless.
But to actually do it, you have to be a little bit insane.
You're right.
You know, your city, you should call it byzantium.
Was that the city that was promised in a vision.
That's not bad.
Byzantium.
Hmm.
I kind of like it.
Paul.
Paul.
Paul.
- Nice work back there.
- Yeah.
I don't understand why I got to go when it's time to settle up.
There are rules to this shit, my man.
Nobody likes to count money in front of strangers.
Still, you've earned your keep.
You hungry? I saw a place a mile back.
- Burgers, pie.
- Where's the rest? That's it.
Don't give me a hard time, man.
Jimmy, that's it.
You told me 16.
This is half that! I don't know what you want me to say.
We got what we got.
No no.
This must be your money.
'cause this is $8000 and my deal is 16.
and not a cent less.
Jimmy, what are you doing with a gun? Changing the equation, man.
Now you tell me why you're trying to take my money.
Because you're fucking diseased a gambling junkie.
It won't be long before those pretty little queens and bastard jacks start singing to you again.
Then you're back in the hole with me.
So I put some money aside on your behalf.
Call it an insurance policy.
You're welcome.
Now give me the gun.
Jimmy, get that gun out of my face.
You're trying to fuck me.
I want to fuck you, I fuck you.
That's how it's always gonna be.
Now take your finger off the trigger.
You're trying to fuck me and I'm sick of it.
I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to fuck me over.
I'm a man, you know? I can't get any respect, but I'm a man.
And I'm sick and tired of people fucking me over.
Fuck.
Oh God.
Fuck.
No, Bobby.
Oh no.
No.
What did I do? I'm a fucking idiot.
When I started working at the club I swore I would never date a client.
Or join him in his hotel suite? So much for rules.
We're closed.
We might reopen tomorrow.
Stay away from my son.
Mr.
Lomand, let me explain.
Inez, where the hell are you? I'm in big trouble, baby, really bad trouble.
Call me back.
Come on, Inez.
Pick up the phone! Are you sure you don't need to check that? No.
There's nothing more important than what I'm doing right now.
It's okay, baby.
It's okay, I'm here.
I'm here.
It's okay, baby.
It's okay.
Mama's here.
I'm here.
I'm here.
Cassie, I need your help.
Tell me, What do I do? What do I do?
