Gringo

Mr. Rusk?

Mr. Rusk.

Mr. Rusk.

Boss, are you there?

Mia,

out of curiosity,

what part of hold my calls

couldn't you wrap

your head around?

I'm in a meeting.

I'm sorry. It's Harold,

and I think that

there's something wrong.

Harold? Uh...

Put him through.

Richard!

Harold. What happened, buddy?

Why didn't you come back

with me and Elaine?

Richard,

I've been taken.

Taken?

Elaine, Elaine,

I've been kidnapped.

Turn it down.

Turn it down.

They have got

a gun to my head!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

What are you doing?

Calm down and explain,

as clearly as you can, what's going on.

I am somewhere in Mexico

with a gun to my head!

I don't know

how much clearer I can be!

Holy f***!

Harold, it's okay,

we're here. Um...

Ask what they want.

What do they want?

They want five million

wired to an account.

Or they're going to hang me

from a bridge!

Five million what, pesos?

- Pesos? Dollars!

- We're so f***ed.

Harold?

Walk Riley.

...and snow

continuing to linger.

Everyone in Chicago

is complaining,

and I say, hey, come on,

let's turn it around.

Here.

- I love you.

- Mmm.

- Say hi to Stu.

- I will!

Maybe the beach holiday

will have to wait.

But I must get a second car.

Bonnie keeps bringing it up.

Sh*t. Bonnie is the one

that's killing you.

I mean, look,

don't get me wrong,

I know you love her and all,

but your wife's

the reason that

that's all f***ed up, okay?

The loans,

the insane office space.

She's got one client.

She should be working

out of your garage,

not leasing space

at the damn Franklin Center.

Listen, as your accountant,

I have to tell you,

she's dragging you

in some deep water, Harold.

Like bankruptcy-deep.

So, are you saying

that I am cash poor?

No, I'm saying

you're poor-poor, nigga.

Plus, word on the street

is that Promethium is about to

be gobbled up by Powell or AFT.

If there's a merger,

you could be looking

for another job.

What?

I haven't heard

anything about that.

Look, man...

I do taxes for half

the Powell brass,

and this sh*t is real.

Stewart, Richard wouldn't

do that to me.

He's my friend, okay?

Richard has a vanity

license plate, Harold.

He does push-ups

in his goddamn office.

Richard would do that to you.

Good morning.

Promethium Pharmaceuticals,

how can I help you?

Harold! Man, it's 9:20!

You're late again!

What do you call this?

- I think that's all, Mr. Rusk.

- All right.

- I'll see you at the game.

- Sure.

Come.

Get in here.

I had to do that.

Everybody knows we're friends.

I can't give you

special treatment.

Sorry, Richard.

Lake Shore was crazy

this morning.

Sit down.

Hey, Mia, I'm thirsty.

Okay.

You ready

for this game tonight?

Those Benson-Smith cocksuckers

are begging

for an ass kicking.

I am gonna give it to them.

- Here.

- Thank you.

Yeah, and then tomorrow,

you and me are gonna have

a little fun in Mexico.

What?

Elaine and I are gonna

join you on this trip.

You're not the only one

who could go

for a little sunshine.

This is because

of the missing inventory.

Look, I plan to speak to Sanchez

to get to the bottom of that.

No, Elaine and I

will speak to Sanchez.

We just wanna check on

a few things down there.

Um...

I need you to put

all the Mexico files in this,

and give it to Elaine.

Yo, thanks, buddy.

Richard,

is everything okay here?

It's just I heard a rumor,

something about

a possible merger.

Harold, listen.

When you needed a job,

and you came to me,

I said, if you stuck with me,

your life is gonna look

like a rap video. Right?

And haven't I always

looked after you?

I give you an incredible position

as Operations Supervisor.

Yes.

- I handed you the Mexican assignment.

- Yes.

I give Bonnie a job

designing my loft,

and she has f***-all

for experience.

That was generous.

Trust me,

f***ing be patient, man.

And everything's

gonna get revealed.

Why don't you

reveal it to me...

now?

Have I told you

about the two gorillas?

I read it in this book.

Two gorillas, right?

And every day,

they get fed carrots.

And every day they eat the carrots,

no problem.

Chomp, chomp, chomp.

So delicious.

Except, one day, the handler,

he gives one of the gorillas

a banana,

and the other guy

still gets his carrots,

and he doesn't wanna

eat the carrots.

You know why? 'Cause he's seen

the other guy eat the banana.

You know what I'm saying?

Harold.

Eat your f***ing carrots

'cause I have

your back, right?

And then you're gonna be

dick-deep in banana

before you know it.

Right? Rap video.

Mia. Hungry.

Receipt's in the bag.

- Okay, thanks.

- Thanks.

Stop.

Wow. All of that

without professional training.

That's good, man.

You don't have to be

a dick about it!

All right.

Spunky, I like it.

You'll get far.

Hey, stranger.

Nelly. What you doing here?

You disappeared on us.

Thought about Monty's

offer yet?

Yeah, you can't come in here

talking about that, all right?

I'm... I'm working.

Yeah. You seem super busy.

Yeah, well, these babies don't

polish themselves, all right?

So, are you in or out?

I can't. It's too dangerous.

Oh, come on, Miles,

don't be a p*ssy.

You can do this.

Really not that hard.

Right. I really appreciate the pep talk,

but it ain't happening.

But it's just

a couple of pills

from Monty's friend

at some lab,

so he can figure out

what's in it and make his own.

All you gotta do

is bring them back.

It'll be easy.

Plus, it's a free trip

to Mexico.

What more do you want?

Right, so I'll be

like a little drug mule.

Perfect, I'll write you

a thank-you note from prison.

Okay. Fine.

You don't want 20 grand,

that's your business.

20 grand?

I thought you said it was 10.

Yeah, it was. It's 20 now.

For real?

- For real.

- Hmm.

Oh, and you can bring

Guitar Shop Barbie with you.

What was all that about?

What?

- That.

- Oh, nothing.

Ever been to Mexico, babe?

- Richard.

- Hey, listen,

my lunch meeting

ran a little long.

I'm not gonna make it back

to the office before the game.

So do you mind grabbing my bag

for me before you leave?

- It's under my desk.

- Okay.

All right.

I'll see you at the gym.

Hey, sorry.

Just had to deal

with something.

Hey, Mia. Richard asked me to

grab something for the game.

Yeah.

I know,

but not everything needs to make sense, Tony.

Scotland Yard is in England.

Who the f*** can explain that?

Now you're just

f***ing boring me.

Can I ask you about something?

Listen.

I'm gonna give you

some advice.

You listening,

Tony Tones? Good.

Stop crying,

go down to unemployment,

start acting

like a f***ing man.

That's a foul. Foul!

Oh...

You're kidding me!

How's it going at Richard's?

Fine.

Do you have any leads

on other clients?

Stu's a little worried.

He was saying

that your office space

might be costing

a little too much.

What?

Nothing. It's fine.

I still don't understand

why she gave us her tickets.

I told you,

she's going on tour,

she needs me to pick up

something for her mum.
