over their shoulders

Wondering when some...

Some nut-job in a gas mask

Is gonna smack 'em

with a sledgehammer.

And then you add the fact

they threatened my daughter.

Turk, look, I understand,

it's very distressing.

I draw the line,

Leonard.

You do not f*** with me.

These fuckheads need

to understand this.

So what are you thinking of

in terms of this understanding?

This should help

smooth things out considerably.

Bobby.

How're you doing?

I'm good.

Where's Ben?

I-I actually

haven't seen him.

Great.

Call me if he

gets here.

Yeah, will do.

What?

Are you serious?

Why aren't you at work?

What? No, I'm never going

back there again.

Goddammit, Bobby.

You're not?

What do you think,

you got 50 grand,

Now you think

you're rich?

You don't think Turk

is looking at everyone

Who is associated

to that game?

Oh, come on, Bobby,

you're being paranoid.

Hey, can't you see this is

goddamn Christmas for us?

Okay, I'm gonna get

a bag of weed,

10 cheeseburgers,

and an X-box.

Okay?

That's gonna be my day.

Did... did you hear a word

I just said?

Get dressed.

We're going to work.

You know what, have fun

becoming Arthur, okay?

Your Employee of the Month

plaques are gonna look great

Growing old together.

Ben, if you're not

at f***ing work tomorrow,

I swear to God I'm gonna come

here and drag you there myself.

I'm not getting f***in'

clipped for you, Ben!

F***in' idiot.

F***in' id...

You're a...

idiot.

Myself and one of the other

nurses will check in

Twice a day

to give you your medication

And to monitor

your condition.

We're also gonna get you

on a completely different diet

Which will make you

much more comfortable.

Okay.

You also need to stop taking

the Methotrexate immediately.

Your son has paid for an

upgrade to the Tofacitinib.

You might be weak

for a few days

While we make

the transition.

And it's fairly new,

but you shouldn't worry

Because we'll be

checking in on you a lot.

Well, I check in on her

all the time, too.

Good.

Oh, and there's also

the matter of the billing.

Oh, I'll take that.

Just put that in my hand.

Sure thing.

Okay.

You'll get your first

visit starting tomorrow.

Okay.

Thank you.

Hey.

You happy?

Yeah.

Thanks.

I don't know.

I-I don't know if

I can make it work,

If it's enough money

to get my mom back on her feet.

I can't get her to start

the new treatment

And then stop it.

Look, I'm sure between

both our jobs

We can swing it.

I don't know.

Maybe.

It's a lot of money,

though.

Who's that?

It's nobody.

I'll call back.

It's Chips, right?

Just leave it.

You got nothing to say

to that a**hole.

Relax.

What, did he

Feel you up at work

or something?

Kim?

Look, I wanted

to tell you this before,

But I thought

you'd be mad.

Okay.

What?

Look, Chips told me

that he and your dad

Bought into a huge

tournament together.

My dad?

And Chips won it,

but he refused

To split the money

with your dad.

Just straight screwed

him over.

Chips bought Scruples

and your dad never got a penny.

How do you know that?

Just remember that

I didn't judge you

After you told me

about the robbery.

All right.

When I started out

at Scruples,

Chips and I...

You f***ed Chips.

Hey, you said

you wouldn't judge.

Don't pull this

sh*t with me!

You, Christ,

you f***ed Chips?

It was a fling, Bobby.

It wasn't a big deal.

How is that not a big deal?

I see the way he leers at you!

Everybody f***ing leers at me.

It's part of the job.

He feels responsible

for you.

He feels responsible

for me?

I was thinking this would be

my half of the office.

What the f***?

Apparently I own half

this f***ing shithole!

Pino, Bruno?

Come in, come in!

You guys work for me now!

You work for me now.

Ask him.

Ask him about Henry Locke!

I want paperwork tomorrow

Or I'm gonna burn this

f***ing place to the ground.

Is it true?

Is it true

you f***ed him over?

Your father

f***ed himself over.

Bullshit!

You...

You let me believe

That he lost

all his f***ing money here!

Your best friend.

My father!

Get him outta here.

Come on, come on.

F*** you, Chips.

Out!

Take a hike.

F*** off!

Go f*** yourself.

F***!

Let me talk to Turk.

Yeah, it's Chips.

I got one of your guys.

Yeah.

His name is...

His name is Ben Miller.

30332nd, yeah.

You too.

What?

Ben Miller?

F***!

I'm gonna...

Please, please, please!

Jesus Christ!

No, let go!

Please don't hurt me!

Don't hurt me!

I had nothing to do

with it!

Hey, hey, hey,

calm down for a second!

Just listen to me!

I wasn't even there!

I had nothin' to do with...

Stop!

Mom?

Mom, you awake?

Hmm.

Hmm?

We can't find anything else.

I think that's all

that's here.

That's not even

a quarter of the money.

Funny thing...

He's made a lot of calls

to Bobby Locke.

Heh.

It's time for a visit.

Robert, what are

you doing?

Playing Blackjack.

I found out, Mom.

About Chips taking money

from Dad.

You never told me?

Bobby...

You don't know what

you're talking about.

I know that Dad took a chance

and got screwed over.

So he figured I'd do

the same, right?

But you know what

pisses me off?

Is that you just rolled

over and took it.

Honey...

Remember that time

in school, Ma?

We had to do that report.

They asked us

what we wanted to be.

And I said "tennis player. "

I wanted to be a professional

tennis player.

And you and Dad, you said,

"No Bobby, it's not realistic. "

Mom, who cares if it

wasn't realistic?

I was nine.

Every time I tried

to do something big

You guys pushed me down.

"No, Bobby, you're

just not tough enough. "

"No, Bobby, that's not

what people like us do. "

People like us, Mom?

Your dad and me, we...

We just wanted

to protect you.

Ah, Mom!

Mom, it smells in here!

It smells like Dad's

old work clothes!

It smells like the same

shitty coffee he drank

For 40 years!

We're gonna be

right here in 20 years

In the same house

doing the same things...

With this...

This f***ing smell!

Is that what you want, Mom?

Can I help you?

Uh... Sure.

Do you live here?

No, I-I'm a nurse.

For Audrey?

I'm not at liberty to say.

I hear it's gotten

pretty bad.

I should go in.

Uh, sorry, no.

Will you put her

in the trunk, please?

Ow, ow!

Shh...

Should we take out

the mother too?

Jesus, Bill, I'm not

an animal.

What if more

of these nurses come?

It's a big trunk.

Bobby, please come

to see me in the office.

Hey, what's going on?

I've got some bad news.

It's... it's Ben, right?

Look, things have been

really tough on him lately.

Just give him a break.

I'll make sure

he comes in, okay?

Ben's dead, Bobby.

What?

Uh, I dunno, the police

just called, and, uh...

He's dead?

I'm so sorry.

Mom?

Hello, Bobby.

Your mother won't be joining us

for coffee, unfortunately.

Where's my mom?

Where's Nadine?

Oh, they're fine...

I think.

My ideal version

of this,

You tell me where my money is,

and then...

We kill you.

Listen, this wasn't my idea,
