Let the man come and

see him, that's all.

Do you think Jimmy's going to talk

him, he can't even get in a word.

You got another think coming.

I got a month before we got a

medical policy at the shop.

What do you think they're

going to do when they find

out about Jimmy's so called

pre-existing condition?

I'll tell what they're

going to do, they're going

to let me go rather than pay

the doctor bills. It'll be my job.

Your job? This is Jimmy's life.

- It won't be much worth either.

The means to my end is more

than met with my last bet.

Thank you for your love and support.

SCI FI suite.

Thank you, Sir.

- Thank you, Pete.

That's not my name. Pete got fired.

I just started.

and my tag isn't ready yet

- Okay.

Thank you, "not-Pete who got fired".

Dan. Dan, sir?

Did you really win all that?

I heard a 100K. Guy in a bike shirt.

It must be me.

Can you believe it! A CK

You know what that means? - No?

Tomorrow, "adios". I pack it in, first thing.

Because that's my step away point.

Always have a walking away point, Doug.

- Dan.

Always have a walk-away point.

Okay, sir.

I hope you enjoy your stay.

You too, Dan, of the Morongo Casino.

Hey, go around.

- Yeah.

Anne, you OK?

Me and Bill made first string there's

going to be a party at Mitch's.

It's just a few people,

if you want to go.

Thanks.

Ply bar's got to align perfectly.

That's the battle right there.

Tighten the hex nut

against the main shaft.

Without stripping it.

Millimeter tolerances.

You know what I mean Buddy?

A flying Swiss watch.

You and I and your brother Michael,

we all know damn well that

talking about it don't help.

I got your back there,

it's under control.

You say whatever, and

whenever, you're ready.

Tell them, I said f*** 'em.

Think they got all the goddamn answers.

F*** 'em.

Come on. F*** 'em.

Give me one, f*** 'em.

It's all good,

That's why we're here.

The chopper don't gotta think about it.

Chopper don't gotta talk about it.

It just gotta fly.

Above it all, just gonna fly.

Nothing new Ms Hammet, about

where your father might be.

Something else did come up.

We got a partial fingerprint

and some blood off the gun.

Not the shooter's, that's all we can tell.

Could be your dad's.

I don't understand.

- Neither do we.

You said your father had a check-up?

Does this mean anything to you?

Not a thing. - It would really

help if we can talk to him.

We can get a warrant for his recent credit

card, bank activity... I gotta take a day.

We just hoped that you could help us

out by providing the PIN numbers.

He had a PIN?

I don't have a PIN.

We all want to close the book on

this, for your father's own good.

Is he in any kind of trouble?

Thanks.

Captain, Good!

I need some presents to bring back to

my family. You get commission, right?

I do. - Beth is about 5 or 6.

She's a real pistol, about yey high.

Her mother, she's about your height, big in

the shoulders, she's a woman, she's got...

Small, medium or large, that's what we got, sir.

- Oh, so you're a straight shooter.

I like you captain.

you can call me Charlie.

Charlie CK.

- Charlie CK!

I got the stuff, you must have

bought the square, man.

What the hell.

It's tragic to waste this magic.

You're going to die this way...

- Charlie? maybe we should...

We split the winnings, what'd you say?

I always leave when I'm up though.

Anne, hey, share it?

- With you? - Yeah.

We want you to know how

brave we think you are.

It was really my dad.

God gave him the strength to be brave.

He saved our lives with his faith.

She means if we pray then maybe we'll

get over it, you know, quicker

Yeah, sure, whatever works.

Never really a popular one.

She's always writing her

poems and stories.

And acting out her plays

by herself in her room.

Her dad was always her best friend.

Always laughing just like kids.

And then Jimmy, he rode the bus since

second grade. So now he's there.

Of course I am concerned about her

not sleeping and barely eating.

It was her idea, but...

maybe it's too soon for

her to be back at school.

No, no it's not. She needs to

re-establish her basic trust in

her physical environment,

her relationships, with the every day.

She talks like a born-again non-stop.

All faith and forgiveness.

People do turn to their faith

in order to get them through.

Anne? Hasn't been to a church

once in half a dozen years.

It was God who made my dad brave.

He provided people

with homes for their families.

Because that's what faith is.

And having it says

that what other people

think doesn't matter.

And when we pray with our eyes closed, it

means that we are with God, in that moment.

So will you do that with me now?

For my dad?

Jimmy's in his room, If you wait

here, I'll go get him. - Okay.

Jimmy! Jimmy!

Wait! Jim!

Damn!

Hello?

Jimmy?

Is it that man?

Okay, listen to me, Jimmy.

What do you think you're doing, Jimmy?

Come on, it's gonna be OK.

It's still the two of us.

Come on.

Come on.

Dr. Laraby please.

Carla Davenport. Thanks much.

Hi, how are ya?

No, I guess not...

He's sleeping right now.

I guess just say thanks again Dr. Laraby,

and maybe even...

No, sure I will call one

of those clinics...

Thanks again.

Everybody's lucky every now and then.

Not if but when.

This is two for real.

Craps Two. Nine away.

No, the plumbing contractor's

supposed to start in April. Right.

Then the chap's coming

to do the floor and then

the finish carpentry guys start.

Then we're done.

Jeanine had a really good point. Why sit on

a plane for 15 hours all the way to Europe.

When we could go to Montreal.

They loved it.

Great restaurants...

Great hotels. So much less

expensive than Europe.

Your head again? Another migraine?

- Yeah.

Why didn't you tell me?

- You have enough to worry about.

This is the same as before.

A vaso-constrictor.

Here, under your tongue.

I love when you play doctor with me.

Thank you.

Hey, Charlie. How you doing? Good?

- All's good, captain.

Take care now, okay.

Anne, this seems like such a phenomenon.

Such an amazing and incredible

outpouring of love and support

from the community.

Are these people friends,

here gathered to honor your dad,

or is this part of a bigger movement?

back toward belief in God?

I think it's both. No one should be

alone with their fears and doubts,

and we can call out and

our voices heard.

And for that, I give thanks to friends

neighbors and loved ones of Kalmont.

Thanks, Lori.

Okay guys, let us hold hands and pray.

To the Lord at the hour of my

distress I call and he answers me.

Oh Lord, save my soul from lying lips,

from the tongue of the deceitful.

What shall he pay you in return

oh treacherous tongue?

The warrior's arrows, sharpened,

in coals red-hot blazing.

Talk to the hotel.

They'll take a marker.

Where you from?

Why, are you my friend?

- No sir, not me.

And the one's that might be willing to

stake you there, not your friends either.
