-Yep.

-He always came out on top.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Britt?

Britt, hey.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I just want to say that,

my father was a federal court judge.

So I think I kinda know how it feels.

When he passed away, I uh,

had some pretty big shoes to fill.

Just like you.

So if you ever need somebody to talk to.

I mean, if you ever just want

to grab a drink.

Want to get cheered up.

I'm around.

Okay, thanks man I really appreciate it.

-Yeah, lock it up....keep it tight.

-Yeah, okay.... Cool.

This is your newspaper.

Look, the burden doesn't have to

fall on you alone.

I've been with your father since I was just

in college for the past forty five years.

I'm going to make sure the Daily Sentinel

stays on the path.

It would make him proud.

So what do you think of all this?

I don't think anything, man.

I don't know a thing about this newspaper.

I've never really read a full edition of it.

You can do whatever the hell you want with it.

I'm not the guy to run The Sentinel.

Trying means a man will always fail.

Oh.

Where's my leaf?

Stupid bush!

Hello!

Who makes my coffee?

WHO makes my coffee?

Will someone explain to me,

why the worst day in my life?

My coffee tastes like sh*t.

You...your coffee is normally made by, Kato.

Who the hell is that?

He works on your father's cars,

and makes his coffee.

You fired him, and everyone else who works

for your father yesterday.

I want Kato here, NOW!

You're, Kato.

Man I thought your name was Henry.

I thought the pool guy was, Kato.

I'm Kato.

I'm sorry to hear about your father.

He was a...

complex man.

Yep.

I've two questions for you, Kato.

Then you can go home.

Why is it my dad's mechanic makes the coffee?

And why is it that without you,

the coffee tastes like crap?

I think it's easier if I show you.

Holy cow. Where did you get that thing?

I made it.

-Watch this.

-Unbelievable.

You sit with me, Kato.

Tell me your tale.

I was born in Shanghai.

You know, Shanghai?

Mmm, loved Japan.

My parents died when I was four.

And Auntie when I was twelve.

I lived in an orphanage.

Sorry, my mom died when I was young, too.

What uh, what happened after that?

I made a few friends, ran away.

I lived on the street.

How did you start working for my Dad.

Tell me that.

I was working in a garage.

-Okay.

-And one day your father came in with a six-five Chrysler.

I know the car well.

He was so happy with my work.

Then he offered me a job.

-I said, yes.

-The coffee, how did that come about?

He used to always say,

"No one could ever make me,

a good cup of coffee".

Good impression.

So I build him the coffee machine.

Well you make one damn fine cup

of coffee, sir.

Want to see something cool?

Yeah.

Not bad, man.

-You did this?

-Yeah.

Industrial polycarbonate.

What the hell is "Industrial polycarbonate"?

It's the stuff they use to make shark tanks.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are you doing man?

Put that thing away, are you crazy?

Come on, don't be a p*ssy.

What are you going to do?

Oh, dude!

That was awesome. What is that stuff?

How does that wor...oh, what

are you going to do now?

-And...

-Whoa!

That is some bad hard sh*t, dude.

Yep. Your dad made me do this kind of

stuff over the last few years.

That is the balls.

The old man was getting paranoid, huh?

-You like that?

-Yeah.

Check this out.

You drew all these?

This is awesome.

Kato, you a really good drawer.

This is really impressive.

Thanks. That's the stuff I would

really like to do.

Holy!

Kato, are you a pervert?

'Course I could draw stuff like that sexy.

-Beer?

-Yeah, I'd love a beer, sure.

Thank you.

Hey, Kato.

What did you think of my father?

Was fine.

Come on, just tell me.

He was my boss.

Nobody loves their boss.

Don't sugar coat this, Kato.

You're not going to offend me.

Just tell me.

Man to man.

He was a bit of a dick.

Yep.

You are...look at that.

I am, a genius.

You are a genius.

You're a mad genius.

I like classical music.

You're a genius who likes classical music.

You know what you are? You're a

human Swiss army knife.

I don't know what that mean.

It's a little thing that you keep pulling out things.

And just when you think there couldn't be anymore...

cool things, a new cool things come out. And

that's you. You even are dressed like one.

You could put a little plus on your chest.

-Let's drink more.

-Yeah, let's drink.

-Long day.

-Long day, yeah.

(Speaking foreign language)

You're speaking Chinese right now.

Oh, sh*t sorry.

I spend three weeks making new bumper

for his Rolls Royce.

And the day after I finished, he crashed it.

He actually saying it was my fault.

He swing at me.

That sounds like him.

Let's investigate another story

of the ten million I have.

I'm young.

Guys are picking on a girl at school, I try to stop it.

I get in trouble.

What does my dad do? He takes my favorite toy.

And he rips the head off of it, right

in front of me.

And he throws it in the garbage.

I was trying to help. That's

all I was trying to do.

You know, it's unbelievable.

He...

He's an ass his entire life. And you know, they...

they built him a statue. I just don't think...

people are going to look at it and

think he's great but he's not.

It's, it's totally unfair.

There's no justice.

-Well, Kato.

-Hmm.

What do you say we get ourselves

some godamn justice, huh?

-You serious?

-Totally serious.

Let's do something crazy man.

Let's just do something nuts!

-Okay.

-Lets just do it.

-Okay.

-Yeah.

Let's roll, Kato.

You think it makes me happy to do this, Dad?

Come here.

Oh, this looks ominous.

Ah sh*t, oh no.

What will I do? What will I do?

Okay.

HEY! Leave them alone.

Let's get him.

Oh sh*t!

I made a mistake.

Sh*t!

Hey, ha' .. was a set up.

Okay, okay, no!

I'm going to give him a root canal.

-I don't want one.

-Just cut him.

Open wi...

-You're a dead man.

-Come on, lets go.

Britt, behind you.

Eat sh*t.

Get rid of it.

Wait. Wait for me, wait.

Go, go, go, go.

I'm in, I'm in.

Kato, that was crazy.

That's unbelievable.

Holy sh*t.

Oh my god, Kato.

Sh*t, Britt.

Oh no, oh no.

Are you a good driver?

Are you kidding me.

When I was a kid, we had some...

-Kato, not now, just drive.

-Okay, okay.

-Just stay cool.

-What will I do?

Just act casual.

Pull it over, now!

What you doing?

I'm trying to loose him.

Aw man there he comes.

Here he comes.

Show me your hands.

He tried to kill us.

We're the bad guys, sh*t.

We're really in a fix.

Oh, no.

Oh, damn it.

Kato,...

I think this is the greatest moment of my entire life.

I know. Mine too.

We are good.

That was crazy. How did you do that dude?

You beat the crap out of those guys.

Where I grew up, it was very dangerous.

I got to learn to fight when I was just a kid.

That was like, you knew where people were

without even looking.

-You were so fast.

-My heart starts pumping.

It's almost like time...slows...down.

It's unbelievable, you truly are.
