-Keep working.

He's sleeping.

He fell asleep.

There's gonna be a change of plans.

Why would he do that?

He's bombed!

He finished a bottle of vodka.

It's right there.

I see what's weird.

Begleiter! What's going on?

You ought to have your

wife take a look at that.

-She's not home.

-Your office said you were home.

I kept calling but nobody answered,

so here I am.

The bank blocked your

guardianship account.

The officer believes

there's malfeasance.

The sons of b*tches!

I went out on a limb for you.

I warned you about the girl's claims...

...about her accusations, because I

trusted you, as did the Bakers.

But if you've lied,

the courts will step in.

If they take these children,

they have no place to go.

He thought he was helping us.

Mr. Glass, where are the children?

At their music lessons.

Their piano lessons.

Next, I'll have to buy

them a Steinway...

...and the bank will say,

"Can't they play the kazoo?"

Sh*t!

That's my Testarossa.

No, that's our Testarossa.

Until we get our money back.

You planned to skip town today?

Where'd you get that idea?

-Your wife called us this morning.

-My wife?

Before you leave, how about repaying

the loan in one lump cash sum?

He doesn't have our money.

-What's going on, Terry?

-Ask him.

-Your partner?

-Bastard robbed me blind.

-Oh, my God. I'm leaving.

-No, no, no.

-You're not.

-Really?

-We need an explanation.

-From me?

I have nothing to do with this!

-Nobody listens anymore.

-Are you happy, Terry?

Feel good about that?

Terry, you're a troublemaker.

-That took care of the problem.

-No. We'll discuss this in the car.

There's nothing to discuss!

Just walk like a man out to the Jag.

That was the problem. You solved it.

The rest is pure profit.

Not the Jag. The Volvo.

Wait here for a minute, okay?

-Nice little drive in our car.

-No! Not in there!

Not in there! No! Not in there!

I don't even have the key!

We got all the keys to all the cars.

Take the Volvo, not the Jag!

-Let's go!

-Okay, you win!

-You win.

-It's over.

Just please take the Volvo, okay?

You're making this difficult.

-Whatever.

-Take the Volvo.

Brand loyalty. I like that.

That little b*tch!

You're some kind of joker.

We'll take the Jaguar.

No!

You haven't been

to our Tarzana office.

We got a handball court and a sauna...

...and way in the back we have

this special room.

Totally soundproof.

What the-?

What the-?

What'd you do to this car?!

What'd you do to this car?!

Hi, you guys need some help?

Yes.

-Everything under control?

-We got it covered.

Terry.

You two kids stay in the car.

I have a possible T.C.

Southbound, Malibu Canyon.

-I'll be investigating.

-Copy that.

I have a rollover T.C...

...with one fatality.

I'll need two backup units.

Ruby.

It's okay.

Ruby, go! Drive!

-Where's the stupid key?!

-It's okay!

We're gonna die here! Let's go!

Come on, find them!

Ruby!

I need your help.

-He's getting closer!

-I got them!

He's getting closer!

Drive! Drive! Drive!

Why are you stopping?!

It's okay, honey.

-Buckle up.

-What're you doing?!

-All's forgiven.

-What're you doing?

You kids okay?

Go back and wait by my car.

Things will get easier from here on.

They already have.

Let's go home.
