Curtains
1 Previously on "Get Shorty" Laurence wears a wig? It's a medical condition.
He doesn't have a hair on his body.
Wendy.
No.
[GASPS.]
- Don't use that bathroom.
- Why? Can we talk? I started talking with lawyers.
I'm planning to ask for full custody.
If Katie gets full custody, I worry that she would restrict access to my daughter on a whim.
Miles is a criminal.
He works for a woman named Amara De Escalones.
If he insists on going to court, I'm willing to say all this in front of a judge.
We don't know anything yet.
She didn't come home last night, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Yes, it does.
Yes, it does.
Amara had her taken out.
I got her killed.
Okay, what do I got to do? I don't care what it is.
I'm gonna do it, - 'cause this has to stop now.
- I'm David Oumou's manager.
- I asked you to go over there - and offer a deal on our behalf, and you switch sides! You made me into a rat.
- You know what? - Thanks for stopping by, Lu.
Don't let the door hit you on the arse.
[GRUNTING.]
- That's Amara's guys, right? - You see him? Yeah, I better not see him inside.
[GUNSHOT.]
We agreed to a cease-fire.
Either this was planned, or you simply have no control over those in your employ.
- What? - We require you to leave Los Angeles, effective immediately.
Do you understand? [MACHINE-GUN FIRE.]
How soon can you move in? We can't stand back and watch while they drop bodies.
We will get warrants and coordinate a raid in 48 hours.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
[HAMMERING, DRILL WHIRRING.]
Pass that around.
[GUN COCKS.]

[SPEAKS SPANISH.]
Ricky.
I forget to tell you.
I have some men work on the house today.
Yeah, I see that.
I see.
Wh-wh-what needs work? - Oh, insulation.
- Ah.
- Painting.
- Painting, yeah, sure.
Is okay.
You stay at your house just a few days.
Uh, yeah, no.
I don't mind.
You can come stay with me if you want.
I should stay here Make sure they're working.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's probably smart.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- Okay.
[SMOOCHES.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
All right, let's do this.
Where's Miles? Ask him.
Can we get this going? I told Gladys that I was going out to get bagels.
See you, guys.
Uh, good luck with the work.
[DRILL WHIRRING.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
All right, gather round.
I'm only gonna say this once.
This is a lockdown.
No one gets in without checking at the door.
You're out and about, you watch yourself.
You need a piece, take it.
Don't fire first.
But if you're attacked, do what you got to do.
[CELLPHONE RINGING.]
[GUNS COCKING.]
- I'm busy.
- I can't get there now.
That's on you.
But I heard what happened.
Is everything under control? So you don't show, but you want your own private update? Just give me a sense of where she's [CELLPHONE BEEPS.]
Your mother's gonna be here.
Emma, you look fine.
Let's go.
You don't even know what I'm wearing.
You're just walking out so you and mom can have a fight.
I haven't had coffee yet.
You think I want a fight? I told her I want you guys to share custody.
It's better if you just stay out of it.
She's gonna ask about your face.
Nobody cares about my face.
Good morning.
The fight begins.
Could you kindly get in the car? - Can we talk for a sec? - Need to get going.
Please? It's just Just for a sec.
All right.
One sec.
[CAR DOOR CLOSES.]
Car crash? - Actually, no, it was more - I don't care.
Katie, tell me you're not gonna pull anything crazy in front of the judge.
Well, you could always sign the papers.
Tick a box that says I don't want my daughter? Do you think that's gonna happen? - Then I don't have a choice.
- The choice to not mention certain people and certain activities - Miles.
- that may result in a certain employer of mine [HUSHED.]
fucking murdering all three of us? And you don't see why you should sign the papers.
The hearing's in five hours.
I'm just telling the judge the truth.
Capotillo office headquarters, De Escalones residence.
Five cars per target, one marked.
Location pending on six individuals Warrants set? - Almost.
- Almost? Finalizing indictments.
We'll be ready.
Stevenson's almost done.
What you need to remember is that when we go in there - Oh, gosh.
Hi, hon.
- Hey.
He up to speed? - Just about.
- Yeah, tomorrow, huh? I-I'm relieved.
I just, uh, I didn't think it would be this soon.
You know, most of our own office doesn't know the day of the raid, so when I say - you cannot repeat this - No, absolutely.
Just go back to work, continue on your daily routine.
I was telling him that we'll arrest him, too, so it doesn't - look like he's in on it.
- Mmhmm.
We put the cuffs on you, you need to look surprised and upset.
"What did I do? Get your fucking hands off.
" Something in that vein.
That's I can I can do that.
I-I There is one thing, and this is our problem, not yours, but if you see an opportunity - Okay? - We need to get Amara out of her house and away from her men, and that is proving to be difficult.
Oh.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Hmm I might have an idea.
Yeah.

What took you so long? Oh, David Oumou called.
He was upset about his trailer, so I had to go down and straighten it out.
- His career's taking off.
- He's making real money.
Which is good for us.

- Take it easy.
- Yeah, you, too.
[SIGHS.]
Oh, shit! [PHONES RINGING DISTANTLY.]
Rick? Hey.
I'm Janice, line producer.
Oh.
Oh, well, nice to meet you in person.
Yeah.
I'll grab Miles, and we'll get started.
- Miles? Miles is - Yeah.
- Oh, you actually showed.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Rick and I worked together on our last film.
Rick hired the whole crew, and they were, - to a man, affordable.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Can I interest you in a beverage, Rick? I'll be in the conference room when you're ready.
Well, uh, I'm ready now.
Hold on just one sec, would you? There's something we should discuss.
- What? - [RINGING CONTINUES.]
I think we both know what's going on, right? Shit's about to get serious.
I don't want it to affect the movie.
Well, I hate to break it to you, but they're gonna shut down the movie.
- What? - They have to.
It's evidence, right? When you say "they," who do you mean? Who do you mean? - Amara? - Fuck's sake.
Oh - Rick, do you know something? - I can't I can't Are you talking about our friends with the badges? No.
No, I'm not.
Why are they shutting down the film? [WHISPERING.]
Are they making arrests? - [WHISPERING.]
No.
- Fuck.
[NORMAL VOICE.]
They are.
[SIGHS.]
Jesus, I'm so bad at this.
I told them I wouldn't tell anybody.
You're literally the first person I've talked to.
Why do you say that the movie is evidence? They're gonna confiscate our financing.
All of it? The fuck do I know? They told me they were gonna wait six months.
When are they actually moving in? Couple of days, a week? - Rick! - No, no, no, no.
You know what? You ask the Feds what's going on, okay? I'm not saying anything.
I mean more than I already have.
We need to spend the money right now.
We need to pay for the film before the Feds get their hands on the money.
I don't see that happening, okay? So if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting with a line producer.
- April.
- Hi.
Hi.
I'm Mark, Human Resources at Budd E.
Boy.
Yes.
I left a message for you last night, - and I called you again today.
- Right.
- You know Emily.
- Hi.
All right if we come in and chat for a moment? Oh, yeah, of course.
Um [HUSHED.]
Are we doing this here? There's no perfect place to have a conversation like this.
Yes.
Believe me, I do not feel good about this, either.
But it is serious.
Well, we agree on that.
Emily? I told him what you told me, that yesterday, at about 6:15, you went into Laurence's office while he was out, - went into his closet - His secret closet.
And you said that there was a one-way mirror looking into the women's room.
Yes.
I called HR right after, left a message.
There's, um There's still women going in there right now.
- We should really stop this.
- A-April.
Both Emily and I checked inside the closet.
I spoke to Mark first thing this morning.
Okay.
There is no one-way mirror.
There sure as hell is.
I have photos of every wall.
Right there.
There was a mirror.
If it's not there, then I It's been sealed up.
And when would that have been done? Last night.
- You told someone.
- I knew she'd turn this on me.
April, we have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to harassing employees.
That includes insulting and defamatory comments - in the workplace.
- Oh, my God.
I'm afraid you're being placed on leave, effective immediately.
Um, are you in on this, too? Be aware that if you continue to share false allegations, you will be legally liable for slander and defamation.
Now, I need you to calmly exit the building.
This is like "Rosemary's fucking Baby.
" Okay, uh, that is just the sort of language we were hoping to avoid.
Fuck you, Mark.
I need a fucking lawyer.
[PHONES RINGING DISTANTLY.]
[CLICKS, GEARS WHIR.]
[SIGHS.]
- Uh, heading to lunch.
- I just have a quick question - about the budget.
- I, ah - I'm not your guy.
You need to speak to Janice.
This is more of a big-picture kind of a question.
We've got a lot of stuff in here like locations and actors and catering, and we kind of pay it all as we go along.
- One does in life.
- [CHUCKLES.]
But if we wanted, could we pay them all up front? Well, why would we want that? Our investors.
I-I'm not saying there's a problem, just there could be.
Well, once the LLC is funded, they can't pull that money out.
- In this case - I got a lunch.
Hey, good to see you.
In this case, it's not a matter of the investors pulling money out.
- Yeah, I don't understand.
Uh - It's hard to explain.
I just know that if we want to be sure we can complete production, we got to pay for everything right now.
I don't think so.
I'm sorry if it sounds a bit shady and that I'm not explaining it better but we play this right, we're gonna end up with a beautiful movie.
If not, we could have nothing.
Okay, so you want to issue purchase orders for everything up front, but you can't tell me why? I'm asking you to trust me.
- Okay.
- [ELEVATOR DINGS.]
Yeah? I can tell Janice that you're good with this? Yeah.
You won't regret it.
Emily, you seen April? - Think she left.
- Okay.
Thanks.
- Can I have a word? - Yeah, I don't think so.
I'm just here to pick up my client's check.
- No, I'll be one sec.
- Do you want to do this now? [WHISPERING.]
'Cause I will lay you out again.
[SCOFFS.]
Only 'cause you had your fucking cane.
Yeah.
Well, guess what, I still got it.
Okay, Lu I don't even know why I'm trying to help you, - but I have information you want.
- [SIGHS.]
If I'm wrong, I'll happily fuck off.
Break it down, bro.
Hey, do the thing, man.
- Come on, show 'em.
- [RAP MUSIC PLAYING.]
Yeah.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
[MUSIC STOPS.]
[CLEARS THROAT, SNIFFS.]
- Everything cool? - We go to Nevada.
You want to leave? W-Well, we can pack up, then.
We'll have someone else do it.
We leave tomorrow.
Okay.
What changed your mind? I let that perra gringa think she push me around.
- When are they moving in? - [SIGHS.]
Hopefully not in the next hour, since I've got my custody hearing with Katie.
I'm thinking if I get dragged away in handcuffs, it might influence the verdict.
Fuck.
The Feds promised we won't do time.
Yeah, didn't they also promise that they would wait six months before they moved in? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know what happened there.
I-I'm I've I've tried calling them.
- They're not calling back.
- That puts my mind at ease.
Look it, there's no reason to think they're gonna go back on their deal.
- And then once Amara's gone - Yeah, j-just whatever.
You know, just [SIGHS.]
Things are good with me and Gladys.
They're good.
This is how she learns about me? I mean, seeing it on the news.
I mean She'll probably never talk to me again.
- They won't let me near my kid.
- You don't know that.
[BLOWS RASPBERRY.]
Okay.
I'm here on business.
I better go.
Hey, Lulu? Good luck, yeah? You, too.

You have a moment? Uh, not really.
My office is down the hall.
All right, then.
Lead the way.
I was just about to call you.
Now here you are.
[CHUCKLES.]
Imagine.
Just as well you came in.
I think sometimes on the phone, it's easy to misinterpret the tone of a convers Hi.
Uh - H-How did you get in here? - Do you have a second? A-Are you coming through the courtyard? Did you hop the fence or? - There's a gate.
- Is there?! I don't remember I think that we can both agree that when you said you trusted me, you were just trying to get me out of your hair so you could go for lunch.
Yeah, I think there's been a-a fundamental misunderstanding about the nature of our relationship.
- Ah, has there? - Yeah.
You know, I didn't have enough time or, uh Or information to continue our conversation.
I checked with Legal.
There's no danger of an investor pulling that money out of a fully-funded LLC.
So you didn't trust me.
Well, when you employ as many people as I do, you learn to recognize who's gonna be trouble.
And, uh, most people show their true colors pretty quickly.
- And I am? - Oh, disruptive.
[SETS DOWN BOOK.]
[CHUCKLES.]
You'll still be a producer on the project, but in a silent capacity.
You'll retain profits and points, attend the premiere.
In the meantime, I've hired somebody to be a little more hands-on.
- April? - Uh, no.
Really? - Why not April? - Well, I felt she's - Hey, have you always enjoyed watching women on the can? Like, was that something you did as a kid, or did you develop a taste for it in later years? HR will walk you through this.
Enough of the phone.
And if you raise your voice, I will put you through that glass wall headfirst.
Do you understand me, you entitled fucking pervert? [CLICKS, GEARS WHIR.]
Well, this is shaping up to be the biggest mistake you ever made.
Why's that? 'Cause you're Captain fucking America with your big white teeth and your head of fake hair? Is everything about you a lie? Hold on.
What are you do Even your eyebrows are a lie.
The fact that you're wealthy and well-connected, it protects you from people Normal people who rely on the justice system and common human decency.
It does not protect you from my people.
They can find you anywhere.
They can get you in your fancy fucking house, on your remote fucking holiday island, and they can leave you in a sticky pool of your own blood.
[SCOFFS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Ah, yeah, that's that's pretty.
As a producer, I plan on being very hands-on.
So does April, when you give her her job back with a nice raise.
And given you're so eager to use the phone, why don't you give Janice a call, tell her to write those purchase orders? I'm sure she can get them in by the end of the day.
Yeah? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Ladies and gentlemen, the Madison Bar would like to welcome Gladys Parrish.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
- You're gonna blow 'em away.
- [SIGHS.]

- [BEEPS CONTINUE.]
- Jinny was really cool.
It's funny.
She said exactly the same thing about you.
You guys serious? You know how people say "it's complicated"? Well, this is highly complicated.
I'm thinking I should get a new place.
- Why? - Closer to your mother.
You know, you misplace your history book or whatever, you don't have to schlep across town.
You want to help me find somewhere? - Yes.
[CHUCKLES.]

- Did you say anything to her? - Uh Rick.
Rick, we need to know the conversation you had, word for word.
What exactly did you say to her? - [KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
- FBI! Search warrant! Open up! - What's happening? - I got my daughter with me.
It's okay.
Look at me.
This is gonna seem real bad, but everything will be fine, - and I'll be okay.

He doesn't have a hair on his body.
Wendy.
No.
[GASPS.]
- Don't use that bathroom.
- Why? Can we talk? I started talking with lawyers.
I'm planning to ask for full custody.
If Katie gets full custody, I worry that she would restrict access to my daughter on a whim.
Miles is a criminal.
He works for a woman named Amara De Escalones.
If he insists on going to court, I'm willing to say all this in front of a judge.
We don't know anything yet.
She didn't come home last night, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Yes, it does.
Yes, it does.
Amara had her taken out.
I got her killed.
Okay, what do I got to do? I don't care what it is.
I'm gonna do it, - 'cause this has to stop now.
- I'm David Oumou's manager.
- I asked you to go over there - and offer a deal on our behalf, and you switch sides! You made me into a rat.
- You know what? - Thanks for stopping by, Lu.
Don't let the door hit you on the arse.
[GRUNTING.]
- That's Amara's guys, right? - You see him? Yeah, I better not see him inside.
[GUNSHOT.]
We agreed to a cease-fire.
Either this was planned, or you simply have no control over those in your employ.
- What? - We require you to leave Los Angeles, effective immediately.
Do you understand? [MACHINE-GUN FIRE.]
How soon can you move in? We can't stand back and watch while they drop bodies.
We will get warrants and coordinate a raid in 48 hours.

You stay at your house just a few days.

- Okay.
[SMOOCHES.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
All right, let's do this.

[DRILL WHIRRING.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
All right, gather round.
I'm only gonna say this once.
This is a lockdown.
No one gets in without checking at the door.
You're out and about, you watch yourself.
You need a piece, take it.
Don't fire first.
But if you're attacked, do what you got to do.
[CELLPHONE RINGING.]
[GUNS COCKING.]
- I'm busy.
- I can't get there now.
That's on you.
But I heard what happened.
Is everything under control? So you don't show, but you want your own private update? Just give me a sense of where she's [CELLPHONE BEEPS.]
Your mother's gonna be here.
Emma, you look fine.
Let's go.
You don't even know what I'm wearing.
You're just walking out so you and mom can have a fight.
I haven't had coffee yet.
You think I want a fight? I told her I want you guys to share custody.
It's better if you just stay out of it.
She's gonna ask about your face.
Nobody cares about my face.
Good morning.
The fight begins.
Could you kindly get in the car? - Can we talk for a sec? - Need to get going.
Please? It's just Just for a sec.
All right.
One sec.
[CAR DOOR CLOSES.]
Car crash? - Actually, no, it was more - I don't care.
Katie, tell me you're not gonna pull anything crazy in front of the judge.
Well, you could always sign the papers.
Tick a box that says I don't want my daughter? Do you think that's gonna happen? - Then I don't have a choice.
- The choice to not mention certain people and certain activities - Miles.
- that may result in a certain employer of mine [HUSHED.]
fucking murdering all three of us? And you don't see why you should sign the papers.
The hearing's in five hours.
I'm just telling the judge the truth.
Capotillo office headquarters, De Escalones residence.
Five cars per target, one marked.
Location pending on six individuals Warrants set? - Almost.
- Almost? Finalizing indictments.
We'll be ready.
Stevenson's almost done.
What you need to remember is that when we go in there - Oh, gosh.
Hi, hon.
- Hey.
He up to speed? - Just about.
- Yeah, tomorrow, huh? I-I'm relieved.
I just, uh, I didn't think it would be this soon.
You know, most of our own office doesn't know the day of the raid, so when I say - you cannot repeat this - No, absolutely.
Just go back to work, continue on your daily routine.
I was telling him that we'll arrest him, too, so it doesn't - look like he's in on it.
- Mmhmm.
We put the cuffs on you, you need to look surprised and upset.
"What did I do? Get your fucking hands off.
" Something in that vein.
That's I can I can do that.
I-I There is one thing, and this is our problem, not yours, but if you see an opportunity - Okay? - We need to get Amara out of her house and away from her men, and that is proving to be difficult.
Oh.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Hmm I might have an idea.
Yeah.
- [DOG BARKING.]

No.
- That bruise is turning yellow.
- Yeah.
Yeah, well, I won't forget my cane today.
[CHUCKLES.]
Yeah, no more falling down.
What took you so long? Oh, David Oumou called.
He was upset about his trailer, so I had to go down and straighten it out.
- His career's taking off.
- He's making real money.
Which is good for us.
Yeah, I know.
- So - No.
Nothing.
You know, it's just I always thought that I'd have a singing career then a baby.
You're still gonna be able to sing.
Yeah.
It's just hormones.
I almost keyed a car yesterday for taking a parking space at the Container Store.
I can't be late for the ultrasound.

Oh.
Oh, well, nice to meet you in person.
Yeah.
I'll grab Miles, and we'll get started.
- Miles? Miles is - Yeah.
- Oh, you actually showed.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Rick and I worked together on our last film.
Rick hired the whole crew, and they were, - to a man, affordable.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Can I interest you in a beverage, Rick? I'll be in the conference room when you're ready.
Well, uh, I'm ready now.
Hold on just one sec, would you? There's something we should discuss.
- What? - [RINGING CONTINUES.]
I think we both know what's going on, right? Shit's about to get serious.
I don't want it to affect the movie.
Well, I hate to break it to you, but they're gonna shut down the movie.
- What? - They have to.
It's evidence, right? When you say "they," who do you mean? Who do you mean? - Amara? - Fuck's sake.
Oh - Rick, do you know something? - I can't I can't Are you talking about our friends with the badges? No.
No, I'm not.
Why are they shutting down the film? [WHISPERING.]
Are they making arrests? - [WHISPERING.]
No.
- Fuck.
[NORMAL VOICE.]
They are.
[SIGHS.]
Jesus, I'm so bad at this.
I told them I wouldn't tell anybody.
You're literally the first person I've talked to.
Why do you say that the movie is evidence? They're gonna confiscate our financing.
All of it? The fuck do I know? They told me they were gonna wait six months.
When are they actually moving in? Couple of days, a week? - Rick! - No, no, no, no.
You know what? You ask the Feds what's going on, okay? I'm not saying anything.
I mean more than I already have.
We need to spend the money right now.
We need to pay for the film before the Feds get their hands on the money.
I don't see that happening, okay? So if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting with a line producer.
- April.
- Hi.
Hi.
I'm Mark, Human Resources at Budd E.
Boy.
Yes.
I left a message for you last night, - and I called you again today.
- Right.
- You know Emily.
- Hi.
All right if we come in and chat for a moment? Oh, yeah, of course.
Um [HUSHED.]
Are we doing this here? There's no perfect place to have a conversation like this.
Yes.
Believe me, I do not feel good about this, either.
But it is serious.
Well, we agree on that.
Emily? I told him what you told me, that yesterday, at about 6:15, you went into Laurence's office while he was out, - went into his closet - His secret closet.
And you said that there was a one-way mirror looking into the women's room.
Yes.
I called HR right after, left a message.
There's, um There's still women going in there right now.
- We should really stop this.
- A-April.
Both Emily and I checked inside the closet.
I spoke to Mark first thing this morning.
Okay.
There is no one-way mirror.
There sure as hell is.
I have photos of every wall.
Right there.
There was a mirror.
If it's not there, then I It's been sealed up.
And when would that have been done? Last night.
- You told someone.
- I knew she'd turn this on me.
April, we have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to harassing employees.
That includes insulting and defamatory comments - in the workplace.
- Oh, my God.
I'm afraid you're being placed on leave, effective immediately.
Um, are you in on this, too? Be aware that if you continue to share false allegations, you will be legally liable for slander and defamation.
Now, I need you to calmly exit the building.
This is like "Rosemary's fucking Baby.
" Okay, uh, that is just the sort of language we were hoping to avoid.
Fuck you, Mark.
I need a fucking lawyer.
[PHONES RINGING DISTANTLY.]
[CLICKS, GEARS WHIR.]
[SIGHS.]
- Uh, heading to lunch.
- I just have a quick question - about the budget.
- I, ah - I'm not your guy.
You need to speak to Janice.
This is more of a big-picture kind of a question.
We've got a lot of stuff in here like locations and actors and catering, and we kind of pay it all as we go along.
- One does in life.
- [CHUCKLES.]
But if we wanted, could we pay them all up front? Well, why would we want that? Our investors.
I-I'm not saying there's a problem, just there could be.
Well, once the LLC is funded, they can't pull that money out.
- In this case - I got a lunch.
Hey, good to see you.
In this case, it's not a matter of the investors pulling money out.
- Yeah, I don't understand.
Uh - It's hard to explain.
I just know that if we want to be sure we can complete production, we got to pay for everything right now.
I don't think so.
I'm sorry if it sounds a bit shady and that I'm not explaining it better but we play this right, we're gonna end up with a beautiful movie.
If not, we could have nothing.
Okay, so you want to issue purchase orders for everything up front, but you can't tell me why? I'm asking you to trust me.
- Okay.
- [ELEVATOR DINGS.]
Yeah? I can tell Janice that you're good with this? Yeah.
You won't regret it.
Emily, you seen April? - Think she left.
- Okay.
Thanks.
- Can I have a word? - Yeah, I don't think so.
I'm just here to pick up my client's check.
- No, I'll be one sec.
- Do you want to do this now? [WHISPERING.]
'Cause I will lay you out again.
[SCOFFS.]
Only 'cause you had your fucking cane.
Yeah.
Well, guess what, I still got it.
Okay, Lu I don't even know why I'm trying to help you, - but I have information you want.
- [SIGHS.]
If I'm wrong, I'll happily fuck off.
Break it down, bro.
Hey, do the thing, man.
- Come on, show 'em.
- [RAP MUSIC PLAYING.]
Yeah.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
[MUSIC STOPS.]
[CLEARS THROAT, SNIFFS.]
- Everything cool? - We go to Nevada.
You want to leave? W-Well, we can pack up, then.
We'll have someone else do it.
We leave tomorrow.
Okay.
What changed your mind? I let that perra gringa think she push me around.
- When are they moving in? - [SIGHS.]
Hopefully not in the next hour, since I've got my custody hearing with Katie.
I'm thinking if I get dragged away in handcuffs, it might influence the verdict.
Fuck.
The Feds promised we won't do time.
Yeah, didn't they also promise that they would wait six months before they moved in? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know what happened there.
I-I'm I've I've tried calling them.
- They're not calling back.
- That puts my mind at ease.
Look it, there's no reason to think they're gonna go back on their deal.
- And then once Amara's gone - Yeah, j-just whatever.
You know, just [SIGHS.]
Things are good with me and Gladys.
They're good.
This is how she learns about me? I mean, seeing it on the news.
I mean She'll probably never talk to me again.
- They won't let me near my kid.
- You don't know that.
[BLOWS RASPBERRY.]
Okay.
I'm here on business.
I better go.
Hey, Lulu? Good luck, yeah? You, too.

She's great! - No, I don't need a demo.

[SILENCED GUNSHOT.]
[SILENCED GUNSHOTS.]
[CELLPHONE RINGING.]
April? Why are you heavy-breathing? I am on a treadmill burning off 600 calories worth of rage.
- Why's that? - 'Cause I got fired.
What? How did that happen? Laurence.
But before I tell you, I have to increase my pace - to handle the additional rage.
- [TREADMILL BEEPING.]
Can I help? Laurence and I have a bit of an understanding.
- Hold on.
- [TREADMILL BEEPS.]
Are you ready for this? - Ah.
- Huh? What'd I tell you? - [LAUGHS.]

- Oh, I'm gonna go check us in.
Hello? [CHUCKLES.]
[SCOFFS.]
[SIGHS.]
[CELLPHONE BEEPS.]
[PHONES RINGING.]
Hey, Janice.
Hey, are you, um, making those payments? Actually, no.
Why not? Laurence told me to stop.
Shit.
That's, uh I specifically spoke with him about it.
He He also told us you wouldn't be involved with the production.
What? Mr.
Daly.
Mark from Human Resources.
You have a moment? Uh, not really.
My office is down the hall.
All right, then.
Lead the way.
I was just about to call you.
Now here you are.
[CHUCKLES.]
Imagine.
Just as well you came in.
I think sometimes on the phone, it's easy to misinterpret the tone of a convers Hi.
Uh - H-How did you get in here? - Do you have a second? A-Are you coming through the courtyard? Did you hop the fence or? - There's a gate.
- Is there?! I don't remember I think that we can both agree that when you said you trusted me, you were just trying to get me out of your hair so you could go for lunch.
Yeah, I think there's been a-a fundamental misunderstanding about the nature of our relationship.
- Ah, has there? - Yeah.
You know, I didn't have enough time or, uh Or information to continue our conversation.
I checked with Legal.
There's no danger of an investor pulling that money out of a fully-funded LLC.
So you didn't trust me.
Well, when you employ as many people as I do, you learn to recognize who's gonna be trouble.
And, uh, most people show their true colors pretty quickly.
- And I am? - Oh, disruptive.
[SETS DOWN BOOK.]
[CHUCKLES.]
You'll still be a producer on the project, but in a silent capacity.
You'll retain profits and points, attend the premiere.
In the meantime, I've hired somebody to be a little more hands-on.
- April? - Uh, no.
Really? - Why not April? - Well, I felt she's - Hey, have you always enjoyed watching women on the can? Like, was that something you did as a kid, or did you develop a taste for it in later years? HR will walk you through this.
Enough of the phone.
And if you raise your voice, I will put you through that glass wall headfirst.
Do you understand me, you entitled fucking pervert? [CLICKS, GEARS WHIR.]
Well, this is shaping up to be the biggest mistake you ever made.
Why's that? 'Cause you're Captain fucking America with your big white teeth and your head of fake hair? Is everything about you a lie? Hold on.
What are you do Even your eyebrows are a lie.
The fact that you're wealthy and well-connected, it protects you from people Normal people who rely on the justice system and common human decency.
It does not protect you from my people.
They can find you anywhere.
They can get you in your fancy fucking house, on your remote fucking holiday island, and they can leave you in a sticky pool of your own blood.
[SCOFFS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Ah, yeah, that's that's pretty.
As a producer, I plan on being very hands-on.
So does April, when you give her her job back with a nice raise.
And given you're so eager to use the phone, why don't you give Janice a call, tell her to write those purchase orders? I'm sure she can get them in by the end of the day.
Yeah? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Ladies and gentlemen, the Madison Bar would like to welcome Gladys Parrish.
