Hey, Cody we

gotta go.

Ah, ok, sorry Katherine,

I gotta, I gotta go.

Already?

Yeah, we're heading out

soon and I gotta get ready.

Okay, I love you.

I love you too.

Please be safe.

Hey buddy, say bye to

your dad, honey. Come on.

Bye dad.

We love

you, honey.

Ok, bye.

# Crimson sky

meets the land #

# Great spirit hands pull

down the dying sun #

# Secrets blow

through the trees #

# On the breeze I hear

the ancient drums #

Take cover!

Hit.

Contact right!

Moving!

Contact left!

RPG!

Roof one o'clock!

So, how do

I look?

Handsome.

Very handsome.

You look good,

Uncle Charlie.

Good?

I gotta look

better than good, pal.

So where are you

going tonight, anyways?

She texted me.

Some club downtown.

You're not

driving, right?

No, ma'am. Wouldn't

dream of it.

Good.

Better than good.

A million bucks.

You talking with

Cody tonight?

Yeah, eight

o'clock sharp.

Right on the dot.

Well, tell him

I say hi.

I will.

Hey, what's

wrong?

Oh, God, I

don't know.

I just, um, I haven't really

been sleeping very well,

and, um, I just keep getting

this silly feeling, that...

Hey.

He'll be fine.

He promised he'd

come back, remember?

Cody always keeps

his promises.

Right?

Right.

See you

around, man.

Hey, behave

yourself tonight.

I'm a Bishop.

How much trouble could

I possibly get into?

I'm not going

to answer that.

Probably for

the best.

Yeah, can I

get a beer?

Thanks.

Hello?

He didn't

call, Charlie.

What do you mean

he didn't call?

I was waiting by the

computer like I always do,

me and Cody Jr., and

he never came online!

Calm down Katherine.

You know, things don't

always run on

schedule, it's ok.

No, but, are

you sure?

You have nothing to be afraid

of, you understand me?

Oh, I'm sorry. You're on a date.

Ummm, go have fun and um,

I'm sure

he'll call.

He will.

Okay, I gotta

go now,

but I'll call you first thing

tomorrow morning, ok?

And text me when

you hear from him.

Yeah I will.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Get lost.

No no no, man, we do it all

in-house and then we jack up

our overhead costs

by ten-fold.

You wouldn't believe

how well we're doing.

And some of the girls bringing

in their demos to my studio?

It's insane.

Hey, and get this, I get the

front desk to make sure

that they leave

a headshot.

Yeah, yeah, exactly!

What?

No no no, man,

that was last week,

well, yeah, she was a wild

ride, but her music sucked.

Yup, for sure!

Hey, I gotta go, I'm surprising

the regular tonight.

Yeah, alright later.

Wild ride?

The regular?

If my mom ever heard

me talk like that,

she'd wash my mouth

out with a bar of soap.

Well, I guess it's a good thing

that your mom's not here.

You know, I think it's just

kinda sad that talent has to

take a backseat to mandatory

prostitution at your studio.

What you're doing, it

doesn't take a saint

to know that it

ain't right.

Listen, kid, there

is no right.

There's no

wrong anymore.

There's only what you want,

and what you're willing to do

to get what

you want.

Oh, and uh, you shouldn't listen

to other people's conversations.

And you shouldn't

talk so loud.

Nancy!

Charlie!

You came.

You remember

my friend Ains?

Yeah, of course.

Hi.

Hey.

Uh, sit down!

Sit down.

Hey, sweetie!

Brad! What are you

doing here?

Surprise.

I thought that you said

that you were going

to that gig in the

Arts District?

Oh, we did. But it was

so awful we left.

Oh, okay.

Umm, cool!

This is my

friend Charlie,

Charlie, this is my boyfriend

Brad, and this is Mark.

Of course.

Great to meet

you, man.

Nice to meet you.

And uh, how exactly do we,

uh, know Charlie again?

Oh, Charlie is the

guy who fixed my car

and kind of got me

around last week.

Yeah, so sweet.

Wow.

You came all this way

just to see the pretty girl

whose car you

fixed, huh?

That is sweet.

Sounds like your mother raised

you to be a perfect gentleman.

I guess they just don't make

them like they used to.

We're a

dying breed.

I was talking

about her car.

And what is it that

you two do again?

Well we're in

the music biz.

Uh, I'm a producer, and,

Mark works for me.

Yeah, Brad is the producer I was

telling you I was working with.

Oh is that so? And

how did you two meet?

It's actually kind

of a funny story.

I was looking at this

music magazine blog,

and I saw that this new

local label was opening up.

They don't normally take

unsolicited materials

but I thought,

why not?

Wait, let

me guess.

When you got to the front

desk, they asked you to leave

a headshot with your demo,

and when you did,

Brad's the one who called

you to bring you in.

How did you

know that?

Just a hunch.

You know what,

I should go. I'm imposing.

No, Charlie.

Stay.

Yes Charlie, stay.

I'm sorry.

He's probably out

of his element,

you know, used to handling

farm animals or something

a little less

complicated.

Look, Nancy, your boyfriend,

he's a real piece of work.

I had the pleasure of

overhearing his conversation

in the bathroom telling his

buddy all about how he

"manages the

studio."

I'm not even going to

tell you half the things

that he said

but I...

You just

deserve better.

Okay?

You deserve

better than him.

Nancy, is this

kid for real?

Brad, hold on.

Charlie, I don't know what

you think that you heard,

but Mark and Brad have

been really helpful

to me at the label.

It's a good

company.

Dude, what do you know

about business anyway?

You're a car

mechanic.

I own my

own shop.

Well, maybe you should

run back to it,
