Get Hard Page #2
...as I was just named partner
in my firm.
Mr. King, that is...
- Hey. That is amazing.
- Thank you so much.
- That is...
- Thank you.
That's amazing. Mr. King, listen to me.
I'm one of the hardest workers
you'll ever meet.
I mean, that's why I'm down here
power-washing cars every day.
I just felt with this face-to-face
that you would...
That you would wanna help
a fellow business owner and job creator.
I am helping you. By saying no.
- Mr. King, that's...
- That way, you can make it on your own.
Okay. Mr. King, I have a lot of people
helping me that way already. And... And...
Great. Then you have a plan for success.
Why didn't you tell me that?
You see, everyone,
whether we're born rich or poor...
...or white...
...or miscellaneous...
...who we become...
...is based on our own decisions.
It's simple as that.
You know who else started in a garage?
Hewlett-Packard. So you're in good company.
- And on that note...
- No, Mister...
- You don't have to give me that much, Mr. King.
- Hold on, hold on.
- You don't have to give me that much.
- Hold on. There we go.
You really don't need...
There you go.
There's a start.
Mr. King, please.
I feel like you just haven't given me...
Success is a mindset!
Hi, everyone!
Hi.
Thank you so much
for celebrating our engagement with us.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse me. Everyone, just "shh."
Shh! You need to "shh." Senator.
Shh! Shh.
Yellow tie.
I see you.
Thank you.
James, I love you...
...and I can't wait to be married to you.
Aw.
And because you rock my world...
...I got you this!
Oh!
Hey! Wow.
This is beautiful.
- But not as beautiful as you, Alissa.
- Aw.
- I love you.
- I love you.
Being with you and in front
of all of our friends and family here...
...I just wanna say,
I'm the luckiest man in the world!
Play something!
- Oh.
- Oh, oh.
Well, actually, there's one more part
to your present!
It's Mr. John Mayer!
- John Mayer!
Hey, everybody!
Who's John Mayer?
James and Alissa, for making me...
Shut up!
...a part of your special night.
Thank you very much.
I wanna thank you personally
for the Bradway Chemical buy.
- Oh, sure. Ha-ha-ha.
- There's nothing I love more than making money.
Not even chicks. Or dudes. I f*** anything.
You ever seen 100 women get wet
at the same time? Watch this.
Aw.
Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers
Who turn into mothers
So, mothers
Be good to your daughters too
John, lay back.
I'm gonna take a few bars.
Yeah.
Hey! Step aside, FBI! Back up!
Everybody, step aside!
- James King.
- Yeah?
You're under arrest for 43 counts
of fraud and 30 counts of embezzlement.
- That's impossible.
- That's what they all say. Get him out of here!
I know. This is some kind of joke.
Because if this isn't,
this is the worst nightmare imaginable.
Yeah! Ha-ha-ha. Finally.
- Are you getting this?
- Sh*t, yeah! Get out of the way!
- I swear I don't know what any of this is about!
- Mm-hm.
Don't worry, son! I'll take care of it.
Let's go.
- Gayle, call my lawyer.
- My party!
Looks like you could use
a friend right now.
What the f***?
The charges are securities fraud
and embezzlement.
- These transaction records prove you're guilty.
- I've never seen these. These are fakes!
If you go to court,
they're gonna kick your ass. Take the plea.
- Dad!
- Take the plea.
You'll be out in a year
and in the best shape of your life.
No. I have faith that the justice system
will exonerate me.
And that the jury will put aside
their bias and see the truth:
That I didn't steal money from people.
And that I am no Bernie Madoff.
A verdict is expected today
in the "mini-Madoff" trial of James King.
I lost everything! F*** you!
I didn't do it!
For too long,
wealthy white-collar offenders like you...
...have gotten a free pass with light
sentences in minimum-security prison...
...while working Americans have suffered.
Well, that ends today, Mr. King.
I sentence you
to the harshest penalty allowed:
Ten years in a maximum-security prison.
You have 30 days
to get your affairs in order.
Just run them over!
I can't go to jail. I'll die in there.
That's not gonna happen, James,
because I'm gonna put my investigators...
...on this twenty-four-seven
until we find out who really did this.
Just stay in county lines
with that thing on.
Otherwise, the U.S. Marshals
will be down there pronto.
Son, I want you to stay strong.
Do you hear me?
I will.
I'll be so strong for you, Dad.
Why me?
I have to leave the country!
It took so long to ring me up, I had to miss
my waxing appointment. I feel like a gorilla.
It's summer too.
I can't believe this is happening to me.
- It's like they don't recognize you anymore.
- Thank you. Yes.
Alissa!
Hey! It's me, James.
I know. What are you doing?
Why do you look like that?
Just eat your f***ing salads.
I'll f***ing kill you if you say anything.
Hi.
- Hi. Hi.
- Hi.
I came up with a great idea.
Let's just run away! Some place
that no one would ever think to find us.
Mexico.
Let's just leave this
material world behind.
Live in a one-bedroom shack.
- Oh, God.
- Yes.
- You could sell Chiclets on the road.
- What?
Look, we'll work out the details later.
- We should get out of here.
- No!
- I already cut off my ankle bracelet.
- No! No.
Let's go.
- James, no.
- What?
- No! I'm leaving you.
- Why?
But I thought you loved me forever.
Well, now you know.
Alissa.
This is the U.S. Marshal Service.
James King, exit the building
and surrender to custody immediately.
Oh, sh*t!
Hey, guys. He's in there.
Why are you arresting me?
I am but a simple bartender from Belize.
Wait, no. Mexico.
Call my lawyer in Tijuana.
Sh*t!
- What the f*** is that?! Get off!
- It's me! It's me!
- Mr. King?
- Yes.
You scared the sh*t out of me, man.
What you doing in the trunk?
I just needed a place to regroup.
You know, fresh start.
Okay. Hey. Let me help you out, man.
F*** you, King!
- I lost everything because of you!
- I didn't do it!
F***!
F*** someone!
F*** a tit!
F*** a tit hard!
For the love of Alan Greenspan.
F***! My life is ruined.
I venture you've heard
that I'm going to prison.
Yeah. No, we all did. I just didn't
wanna bring it up first, that's all.
Come on. They're probably sending you
to some Club Fed prison.
You'll be playing tennis
and golf, you know.
- I'm going to be attending San Quentin.
- They're sending you to San Quentin?
Oh.
- What?
- Oh, God!
They f***ing in San Quentin.
- Oh.
- Everybody gets the dick.
I don't want it.
You're not gonna get it.
You'll be in for three months.
I'm gonna be there for 10 years.
Goddamn! Ten years?
- Oh! Oh!
- Why do you say it like that?
It's not as bad as I've heard, is it?
If you heard everybody f***ing, it is.
That's how bad it is.
