to see you. Hey.

So how about you? Are

you selling your stuff?

Uh, no,

not really.

I sold, uh, well...

- Oh, really not really.

- Not really, no.

I guess I should have met

my neighbors earlier.

Oh...

I'm really glad

you moved in.

Yeah?

Yeah. I mean, I'm not glad about

everything you went through,

but, yeah,

I'm glad you moved in.

Me too.

I'm real glad I got away

from all that craziness.

Wow.

What do you mean,

like losing your job?

Just...

Everything else

I thought I had.

I mean, you know

what it's like.

Nothing you worked for

is working...

and you think...

everyone has just

given up on you.

And... and you just

get so down and...

Thank God for my mom.

She saved my ass.

Yeah.

Are you gonna help me

pack up all this sh*t?

Yeah.

- So, come...

- Of course I am.

Come on.

Oh! You're so...

It's hurting me!

You're stronger

than I thought.

Next customer, please?

Hello. What can I

do for you today?

Cashing a check? Can I

see some ID, please?

Thank you.

Here you go.

Have a nice day.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Mmm.

- You look pretty.

- Thank you.

How was your day?

Uh... I handed out

flyers for no money,

and, uh, I just

did some errands,

and straightened up some stuff

in the apartment. Thanks.

- Thanks, Mia.

- Hey, can you bring some french fries?

And how

was your day?

My day's like

every other day.

I'm grinding.

The second shift

was better than the first.

Last couple of hours

were all right.

Weirdest thing happened

though.

I saw a woman today who looked

exactly like your mother.

I mean, she even

walked like her.

She walked right in

front of my car.

It kind of

freaked me out.

I...

I know. Everywhere

I go, I see her.

She... I mean,

she's always in my mind.

Mmm, of course, she is.

I mean, I-I understand that.

But, I mean,

this was an actual person.

You wouldn't have believed it. I mean,

she looked exactly like your mom.

Do we have to talk

about this... now?

No. Hey, hey. Come here, come here.

I'm sorry.

- That's okay.

- I'm sorry.

- No, it's okay.

- You all right?

Yeah, no, I'm just...

I'm exhausted.

I just had... Oh, God,

it's just such a long day.

You want to get out of here

and just go back to my place?

- I-I'm just so tired, you know? I'm just...

- Okay.

- And I have such an early day tomorrow.

- Hey, all right.

I get it, I get it,

I get it. Yeah.

Hi.

Thank you.

Um...

It's for your taxes.

So, no payment?

Um, it's a donation,

for the homeless.

Oh, okay.

I got

a daughter out west.

Probably wouldn't even

recognize her.

She doesn't know me either, except

she thinks I'm a monumental fuckup.

- You're not a fuckup.

- It's not that.

It's just how

her mom sees me.

Doesn't matter that

I've paid everything back

or that I'm paying

every month

or how many times I've said sorry

for all the lying and bullshit

and f***ing up

everyone's lives.

It's just how

she sees me, okay?

But...

Hey.

Oh, God,

you look beautiful.

- Hey, Gary.

- How you holding up, Kyra?

Okay. Thanks.

No.

F***.

Sh*t!

Kyra?

...Flatbush Avenue yesterday.

You gotta

fill out a form.

It was to the...

Okay, all right.

I'll just fill this out.

- You need a pen?

- No, got it. Thank you.

- Is this the lost and found?

- Yes, ma'am.

Did anyone turn in a wallet?

- No, ma'am.

- Okay.

Yeah, because I-I-I...

I lost it yesterday,

and so it would have been turned

in either today or yesterday.

I'm sorry, ma'am. Fill

out this form, please.

Is this the only place

where people turn things in?

This is the only place.

Fill out that form.

- If we find it, we'll get in touch with you.

- All right. Thank you.

You're welcome.

- Hey.

- Hey. Did you see my wallet?

- Last night, did you... did you see it?

- No, you didn't take it out.

It's gone. I've looked everywhere. I

don't know what the f*** I'm gonna do.

Okay, shh. It's all right, okay?

Just don't... Here.

No. No, no,

I'm not gonna take that.

- It's fine, trust me.

- No, no.

It's gonna turn up.

It's just for now, okay?

- You need this just as much as I do.

- I'm gonna be fine.

Hey. It's all right.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

I'm paying you back,

I swear.

I'll see you as soon

as I finish work.

Sorry about that.

Okay.

Am I gonna see you later?

Don't go. Yeah.

I've got to.

- Good luck today.

- Mm-hmm.

Number 58, come

to Window 3 for ID photo.

Mrs. Ramirez,

please pick up 71.

Floor supervisor, Window 7.

Window 7, supervisor.

Mr. Corelli,

vehicle inspection.

Mr. Corelli,

vehicle inspection.

Ma'am, you can't wear

those glasses for the photo.

The light,

it hurts my eyes.

Yeah, we need to be able to see your face.

Hat's gotta go too.

Mrs. Garcia, Window 11.

Mrs. Garcia, Window 11.

Ready?

Thing went dead on me here.

I'm in here.

I'm in here!

You want to tell me why you

were dressing like your mother?

I needed to cash

her checks.

What checks?

Her pension checks.

- Jesus Christ.

- I...

I-I-I-I wrote down

the wrong...

on her, um, her death certificate,

the-the social security.

And I wanted to change it,

but it costs so much,

and-and the check...

the...

The checks just kept coming

and nothing else was,

and you know how hard I've been looking,

and I just... I had no other choice.

She's f***ing dead,

Kyra!

I know that!

Don't you think I know that?

I deal with that every day!

Do you have any idea what'll

happen if they catch you?

You're stealing, committing fraud.

They will f***ing put you away.

- Are you nuts?

- F*** you. I would never steal from my mother.

- But you did!

- Only until I got something!

This is what

you came up with?

Doug... please.

I didn't know what else to do.

Come on. You know me.

I don't think I do.

Of course you do.

I ca-can't do this.

- I-I just...

- You can't do what?

This. This.

I promised myself that if

I got my life back together again,

I would not f*** it up with lying

or bullshit or... Ju...

I can't.

I'm sorry, but I can...

I can't do this.

Okay.

The truck

was late again.

You tell me every week, "Tuesday,

it's gonna be on time."

It's not on time, I'm telling you. You

gotta chop these a little bit tighter.

Hey, Jimmy, I'll call you right back, okay?

Hi. Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm about... I'm here

about the bookkeeping position.

Ah, it's been filled.

Uh, that's too bad.

Okay. Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

You ready?

Hey.

Half of what I owe you.

You want to come in

for a drink?

Hi.

- Hey.

- Good morning.

You gotta stop that.

Done.

With everything.

I swear, I'm not gonna do that anymore.

I don't care what I have to do.

Okay.

Did you sleep well?

Great.

Hey, can you check with the nursing home

again today, see if there's anything?

Of course. You never know

when something will open up.

Will you wake me up in a half

an hour before my shift?

Sure.

No.

No.

Gary.

Gary, I'm gonna get you

the money. I...

I just need

a little more time.

It's been four months.

It ain't me, Kyra.

It's management.
