in Hanalei.

Probably one of the cottages

around the bay.

I think we should go for a walk.

Yeah, let's go. Scottie!

Can we swim with the sharks?

I read in the hotel magazine how they,

like, put you in a cage underwater...

...and then you throw shark feed around,

and then the sharks swim right up to you.

Can we do that?

Scottie, we're not really here

to do stuff like that.

Oh.

Well, what are we here to do, then?

How did you and Mom meet?

I was with a law-school buddy

of mine from the mainland.

We were just coming in from paddling,

and your mom was on her way out.

And she looked at me and she said:

"Do you think it's gonna snow today?"

- Did you think she was pretty?

- Oh, she knocked me out.

I like her stories,

like how she streaked at the wedding.

Oh, my God. There's so many like that.

And the time she beat a wild pig

with a shoe. Ha, ha.

Your mom got chased

by a shark once.

What? When was that?

We were with Mark and Kai,

and your mom was out surfing...

...and she saw a shark

right beneath her on a wave.

- Let's watch one of these.

- No, we are not watching porn.

- Give me...

- No.

Reina's dad watches porn.

Reina calls them masturbation movies.

She plays them when her parents aren't

home, and one time invited boys over...

...to see if they grew down there.

- One did.

- Reina sounds awesome.

Were you there?

Did you watch one of those movies?

- No.

- Hey, Scottie.

Reina's a f***ed-up ho-bag,

and you need to stay away from her.

And she's going to be a methhead

and she's gonna get used by stupid guys.

She's a twat. Say it.

She's a twat.

- All right. Okay. All right, okay. Stop it.

- She's a twat, twat, twat.

I don't get it. I don't know what to do.

These things she does,

what goes on in her head.

You weren't like that.

- It'll go away.

- I'm not so sure.

Look at the way you kids talk

in front of me.

It's like you don't respect authority.

Hey.

- Hi.

- Coming to check on me or something?

- I've been having trouble sleeping lately.

- Understandable.

I'm worried about my daughters.

I think there's something wrong

with them.

I mean, I used to do a bunch

of messed-up sh*t when I was a kid.

Still do.

It's gonna get worse after your wife dies.

What's Alex think

about all this stuff going on?

- What's she say?

- She doesn't.

What do you mean?

I thought she talks to you all the time.

We don't really talk about our issues.

We deal with our sh*t

by talking about other stuff...

...and having a good time.

What would you do if you were me?

How would you handle my daughters?

How would you handle the situation

of this guy we're trying to find?

I told you, man.

I'd put his nuts on a dresser

and I'd beat them with a spiked bat.

As for your daughters, I don't know.

Exchange them for sons, I guess.

Well, I'd probably end up

with something like you.

I'm not so bad. I'm smart.

You are about a hundred miles

from Smartville.

- No offense.

- You are mistaken, counselor.

I'm smart and, you know,

I have good hygiene.

I'm a decent guitar player.

I'm a good cook.

I mean, I cook food all the time.

I'm vice president

of the Punahou chess club.

And I always have weed.

Your mother must be very proud.

It's possible.

I mean, she's been kind of busy lately.

- Yeah, what's she do, your mom?

- She's a receptionist at a pet clinic.

But lately she's been getting

the house together after my dad died.

My dad died a few months ago.

November 24th. Drunk driver.

Actually, uh, both drivers were drunk.

Yeah.

Good night, Sid.

Night, boss.

I will see you in the morning.

Stay in the zone.

That means you, Skylar. You too, Colt.

Keep an eye on your sister.

I'll be right back.

Looks like you got your hands full

with those two.

Yeah.

Yeah. Must keep you pretty busy.

They're pretty nonstop,

but they're at a really fun age.

- How old are they?

- Eight and 10.

I've got two girls, 10 and 17.

That whole nonstop thing,

that never changes.

- Do you guys live here?

- On Oahu.

Oh, so do we.

Hurry up.

I thought I'd get the girls out of town

for a couple days.

Their mother's in the hospital.

I thought I'd give them a break.

Oh, no.

What's wrong,

if you don't mind my asking?

She was in a boating accident.

She hit her head a little too hard.

Sailboat or one with a motor?

One with a motor.

Good luck with that. I wish her well.

Not so far, Skylar!

So are you guys staying

in one of the cottages here?

Yeah. My husband had to come

for work...

...so we thought we'd make

a little vacation of it.

- We know the owner, so...

- Hugh King.

- That's right.

- Yeah, he's my cousin.

Oh. You probably know my husband, then,

Brian Speer?

No, I can't say I do.

Oh, I just assumed. He's been...

Dad? Something bit me.

It was nice talking to you.

You too. Take care.

There's Cousin Hugh.

Grab that table and order me something.

- What do you want?

- Anything.

- Ha, ha.

- Hey, Hugh.

Hey, Mattie boy.

What you doing here?

I didn't expect to see you until the meeting.

I know. I'm getting the girls

out of the hospital for a couple of days.

- Oh. Is that, uh...?

- It's Scottie and Alex.

- Oh. Big girls now.

- Yeah.

We just needed a little change

of scenery.

What you've been going through,

that's a tough deal.

Yeah.

But Elizabeth, hey, tough gal,

I'll tell you that.

A fighter. She's gonna make it.

Get you a drink?

- I'll have whatever you're having.

- Julia.

- Hey.

- Old-fashioned for my coz here.

- All right.

- Thanks.

- Ha, ha. Nice to see you, man.

- You too.

How you been otherwise?

Not much otherwise.

Between business and the hospital,

I'm trying to keep my head above water.

Yeah. Yeah.

Listen, I see that you have some people

staying at the cottage.

Mattie, if I'd known you were coming,

I could've moved those people out.

Not that at all. It's just, I was wondering

about the guy you're renting to.

I think his name is Brian Speer?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Real determined son of a b*tch.

He's Lou's sister's...

Uh, no, no, wait. Uh, Lou has a sister.

The sister's husband, uh, Lou's

brother-in-law, is cousins with that guy.

- Yeah, who's Lou?

- No, no, wait, wait.

You mean the cottages on the bay

or the cottage back by the trail?

The bay.

The guy with the wife and the two sons.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, determined son of a b*tch.

The point is,

the guy that we're doing business with...

...is that guy's brother-in-law,

works for him.

- What guy we're doing business with?

- Who do you think? Don.

Ha, ha. Who else? Holitzer.

- Holitzer?

- That's what I'm saying.

That's Don's brother-in-law

in the cottage.

- Brian Speer?

- You don't know him?

I thought you'd know him.

He's a realtor out by you.

So if we sell to Don...

Which we're gonna do, right?

I mean, that's what you want too.

Nice guy, Don. He'll do right by us.

So then when Don develops, resells,

leases and all that...

...he's letting this brother-in-law handle

the transactions, a lot of them anyway.
