but no pizza tonight, please?

Text me and let me know

that you got this message, okay?

All right? I love you.

End of message.

To replay this message, press...

Bo?

Hey, Mr. Granger.

You all right?

- I, uh...

- Come in. Come in.

It's a little complicated.

It always will be.

Anything I can do?

Do you remember the last project

I did senior year?

Bo.

Building an electromagnet

in a shoebox is one thing,

but in your arm?

How long has this been infected?

I'm taking care of it.

It doesn't look like it.

The negative is fed to my thumb and

the positive to the rest of the fingers.

The board is programed to read

all the different inputs.

It gives me a little bit of control

over pitch, yaw and roll.

But I need more power.

I mean, the lithium-ions last a while,

but their output, it's just...

I need more output.

Have you always run the battery

straight to the electromagnet?

- Yeah.

- Huh.

What about a feedback oscillator?

A feedback oscillator

would magnify the voltage.

You could do that without touching the coil.

But with a higher voltage,

you'll be running into a new problem.

You see, these wires in your arm are thin.

You'd want a larger gauge

with that much power,

otherwise, it could overheat.

But it's still possible, right?

Yeah.

I think so.

So, a feedback oscillator.

And a bigger battery.

Do you have a soldering iron?

This isn't for a trick, is it?

For what it's worth,

I didn't want to bail on the scholarship.

But I had to.

I just want you to know that.

I do.

Thanks.

Please be careful.

Listen, uh, if I'm not back in a half

an hour, call the cops, okay?

It's like, "You're so fat, why are you

"living in your mother's house?"

Bo.

You gotta be out of your f***ing mind.

Everybody, get out! Get out!

Angelo!

What the hell is goin' on?

What the f*** are you doing here?

You have my money?

Where's my sister? Is she here?

That's not the deal.

Angelo, where the hell is my sister?

Give me my money.

This had nothing to do with Tina.

You crossed a line when you took her.

Bo, the f***ed-up thing about all this,

man, is that I liked you.

You did good work.

And you know what, I invested in you.

But I'm getting so tired of people

who have no f***ing respect.

I'm trying to build something here,

and every corner I turn,

there's another piece of sh*t who

thinks they can just f*** me over.

You did it behind my back,

you did it to my face.

I mean, where's the common f***ing decency?

I'm not gonna stand here and have

you roll up inside my house,

f***ing my sh*t up,

telling me you deserve some sh*t.

So, let's make this an example.

Not for you, but for the next

motherf***er who thinks it's a good idea

to f*** with Angelo.

What the hell?

Sh*t.

Where's Tina?

Sh*t! F***!

Where is she?

Oh, God!

Where's my sister?

Stop! Stop!

She's fine. She's fine.

Where is she?

Sh*t!

Stop! Oh, God!

- She's with my aunt.

- Where?

- Okay, stop, stop.

- Where?

3221 San Tempest.

All right, come on, man, stop!

What the f***, Bo?

Oh, gosh!

Please, leave, man.

I told you where she is. She's fine.

Oh, come on! Look, we're good,

all right? We're good.

Just... Just leave, all right?

Oh, sh*t!

$15,000.

One kilo.

What I actually owe you.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, sh*t.

Hey, are you okay?

- Where's Tina?

- We gotta go, she's close! Come on!

Okay, okay.

Thank you.

Hey. Wanna go?

Oh! Hey. Absolutely.

Thank you, guys.

T, go start your homework. Bo and I

are going to start dinner, okay?

Okay.

I had my test today.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to ask.

I got a B.

B's not bad.

Did you hear from Georgi?

Yeah, she should be here this weekend.

Sweet.

What'd you do today?

Just working on that new trick.

Are you ever gonna show me?

When it's ready.

It's gonna be something special.

Bo.

Oh, my God!
