be the best thing for her.

Thanks, Hank. I'm, uh... sorry about

what happened with Anne there.

You don't need to

apologize for Anne.

Just that she's here. That she's

going through this with you.

Just that she's here. That she's

going through this with you.

I can see she's deeply invested.

You're really lucky to have a

woman like that in your family.

Do you have a boyfriend?

Are you sexually active?

- You mean do I like to f***?

- Yeah.

Does anyone ever honestly answer that question?

And if they do, do you believe them?

Does anyone ever honestly answer that question?

And if they do, do you believe them?

Well, do you?

Do I what?

Do you like to f***?

I don't remember.

Um... Hank, do you,

uh... you think,

uh... you think we could say

goodbye to Hannah again?

Be hard on Hannah.

Here's your tea.

Thanks. We'll look after her.

Thanks, Hank.

We'll see ya.

Hannah? Hannah,

are you ready yet?

Uh... yeah.

Yeah, I'll, uh...

I'll meet you out there.

Oh, okay.

Hey, uh... why do we have to

wear these dumpy clothes?

Like, is this a rehab or tryouts

for The Biggest Loser?

What? We're all winners here.

And the clothes help you learn to express

yourself without using your looks.

Now, anyway, they asked me to

mentor you until you get adjusted

but you don't have to worry now

cause I'm one of the cool ones.

- Crystal?

- Ah, sh*t.

Hi. Have you seen my panties?

- Nope. Sorry.

- But I haven't even told you what they look like yet.

Anyway, you should do your

laundry at least once a week

and uh... make sure you shower

before dinner. Cause, you know,

and uh... make sure you shower

before dinner. Cause, you know,

they're really strict about the whole

healthy body, healthy mind thing.

So don't skip, even if

there's no hot water.

Cause then they're going to make you do it

again while they watch, which is uber-creepy.

Hey, uh... why does it have

that thing on its face?

I don't know. Esther says it's

because of the flies and stuff

but I think it's because it bit somebody.

I just stay away from it.

Here are the stables where we keep

all the horses and, don't worry,

you'll get used to the smell.

Now the first thing that you do every morning

is you feed and you bring water to the horses.

What? The horses are for us?

Yeah. We get to use

them for therapy.

Oh, so they have degrees, too.

No. You're so funny.

And this is Hank's office. Have you met him

yet. He's like everyone's dad around here.

So, uh... when do I get

my phone back?

Like, never. We're not allowed to

use anything with internet access.

Like, never. We're not allowed to

use anything with internet access.

Oh, but come on.

Breakfast is waiting.

Hey, everybody. This is Hannah.

She just got here.

Okay. I hope you guys saved some

breakfast for us. Come on.

Aren't you going to eat? Trust me, you're

going to need to keep your energy up.

Aren't you going to eat? Trust me, you're

going to need to keep your energy up.

This?

Well, I mean, in that case you can

get started on your morning chore.

Looks like you have

table top duty.

Hold down the

power button. Now press cancel.

And there you go! You've successfully

bypassed the passcode. Thanks for watching.

And there you go! You've successfully

bypassed the passcode. Thanks for watching.

Hey. What are you

doing sitting in the dark?

Hey. What are you

doing sitting in the dark?

I hadn't even noticed.

Well, I'd thought I'd make,

uh... you a special dinner.

Great. Terrific.

What have you been up

to all day?

This.

You need to listen to

what Hank said.

You really should

hear these texts.

I'm not interested.

Tommy. Hey! Where you at?

Hannah. Swim practice.

Liar, the G.P.S. says you're at the mall.

Come over and kick it with me.

Liar, the G.P.S. says you're at the mall.

Come over and kick it with me.

You're only two and

a half blocks away.

I don't know.

Relax. I promise I look just

like my profile picture.

Okay, so?

So, the douche bag used the app

to get her exact location.

- Look, you need to stop doing this.

- There is more of these.

You're just making

it harder for you.

No. There's, really, there's

some more of these texts.

'Come on. I've got some top shelf

sh*t you can't get at the food court.

- Come on.

- Hello? Damn. I thought you knew how to party.

I guess you're just a poser.

B.F.F.' bailed. I'm on my way. Triple excellent.

Finally gonna see the juicyheart' up close.

B.F.F.' bailed. I'm on my way. Triple excellent.

Finally gonna see the juicyheart' up close.

You hear that? He baited her.

...Hey, you okay?

- Make your own f***in' dinner.

- Anne?

At this rate, investors are gonna

be lining up around the block.

In the meantime,

let's stay focused.

Hey, there's someone waiting

for you in the lobby.

Harvey! Que paso? Oh, sorry. I thought

you were my brother-in-law. Travis Lee.

Jake. Jake Green.

Pleased to meet you. Uh...

what can I do for you?

Pleased to meet you. Uh...

what can I do for you?

How old do you

think this girl is?

I don't know. Eighteen?

Try fifteen.

All right. What's

this really about?

It's my daughter, Hannah. And,

uh... your app and it's G.P.S.

led an eighteen-year-old

predator right to her.

Why are you bringing this to us?

I mean, shouldn't you go to the police?

Yeah, we went to the police and, uh... they

let the bastard go. Not enough evidence.

Yeah, we went to the police and, uh... they

let the bastard go. Not enough evidence.

That's why I'm coming

to you, see?

Because if something like this

can happen to my daughter

it can happen to any underage

user. They'd be at risk.

I'm sorry, but we're not

responsible if our app is misused.

That's unbelievable. You... you're not scared

that your app is an accessory to a crime.

Would you like me to put you in

touch with our legal team?

No, I don't want your legal team.

I want you to delete her account.

- Look, Mister...

- Green. Jake Green.

Green. I'm sorry. I

understand you're upset.

Green. I'm sorry. I

understand you're upset.

But if we allowed you to

delete this account

then none of our users would have protection

over their own information. The answer's no.

No. No. Oh, that's

beautiful. Protection?

The only thing that you're interested in

protecting is yourself and your investors.

You know, if it wasn't for your app my

daughter wouldn't be in this situation.

Are you sure about that?

- Listen, Travis.

- Mister Green?

Do you have a daughter? Huh?

How about a sister? -Sir! Sir!

- How about a f***ing conscience?

- Step away from Mister Lee.

What are you blaming me for? It's not

like I'm the one who hurt your daughter.

What are you blaming me for? It's not

like I'm the one who hurt your daughter.

I'm blaming you. Yeah, I blame

you. I blame all of you.

You guys say that you're not aware that

minors use your app... you market to them!

You get that?

You market to them!

All right, back to work.

Back to work, everybody.

Joey Curtis

George Curtis (April 9, 1925 – May 13, 2004) was a professional boxer, referee and business owner who was licensed to officiate bouts in Las Vegas, Nevada. Curtis, who had an undistinguished career as a boxer, lived in Las Vegas for thirty years. There, he established the Curtis Construction Company, which he owned until May 2003. As a boxing referee, Curtis was known for taking boxer's safety into consideration first. He refereed a number of world title fights, and he worked a number of non-title fights over the years. Curtis is best remembered, however, for two specific fights: On June 26, 1981, at Las Vegas, Lupe Pintor was defending his WBC world Bantamweight championship against Jovito Rengifo, who was attempting to become Peru's first world boxing champion. Rengifo was leading on all scorecards going into the seventh round, but he absorbed dangerous punches during the course of that round. Curtis stopped the fight, giving Pintor a seventh round technical knockout win. The fight's crowd, which in Las Vegas is filled usually with pro-Mexican fans, booed Curtis for his decision to stop the fight. On December 10, 1982, he was chosen to referee the WBA world Heavyweight championship bout between champion Mike Weaver and challenger Michael Dokes. Dokes had Weaver against the ropes and was landing a combination when Curtis stepped in and stopped the fight. Weaver had already suffered a knockdown about twenty seconds before, but many fans and critics felt that Curtis acted too quickly by stopping the bout after only 63 seconds of fighting. Neither a standing eight count nor a three knockdown rule was in effect. The WBA investigated the fight, and during the investigation, it was revealed that Curtis had been told by the Nevada Athletic Commission to be mindful of the condition of the fighters after the November 18 death of Duk Koo Kim as the result of a fight with Ray Mancini in Las Vegas on November 13. Fearful of another tragedy, Curtis stopped the fight to prevent Weaver from further punishment. On May 20, 1983, Dokes and Weaver held a rematch, with Dokes retaining the title with a fifteen-round draw. In June 2003, Curtis sold his company to a contractor whose license was revoked a month earlier for signing contracts and not finishing work, which resulted in complaints with the state board. Joey Curtis died after a sudden illness at Saint Rose Hospital in Las Vegas. more…
