The minimum's 30%, depending

on your collataral.

And if you miss the payback.

You don't have nowhere to go.

They'll find you.

- I just need 20 grand, that's all.

You just tell them about it.

Good luck.

No, no, you keep it.

Hello?

Dad!

Dad? Hello?

Wounded in action,

Khalia Iraq, February 19, 2003

Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Keys.

See you in a couple of days. Alright?

Car comes back when you

pay your debt, Charlie.

Goddammit!

- God, you are so big, come on.

F***!

- No, no! Dan!

What the f*** is this?

Stay awake, come on.

F*** this, F***in' stupid.

Hey, excuse me, sir.

For you?

Mai Tai, for me.

And a sign from on high, as they say.

If you will, if you would.

Feeling lucky, huh?

It's come and gone, it's off and on.

Well, I've been known to change

one into the other, sweetheart.

And that's a sure thing.

Hey. Hello there.

Anything working for you?

Stop.

That's mine. See you.

He has some congestion, which could be an

allergy but he's also a little dehydrated.

So he could just have a fluid imbalance,

from missed feedings or something.

Missed feedings?

- Everybody misses one, it's nothing.

I'm sure he's just had the runs and

your sitter hasn't told you, or something...

I know I feed him, I always,

all I do is feed him.

How'd you go at the pediatrician?

Did you call the clinic?

Well I called yeah, maybe they called

back maybe they didn't, I mean...

And he was crying so...

- It's okay, I'm sorry.

We'll just feed him until

he's nice and sleepy,

and we'll keep an eye on him

for the rest of the day.

I know it's frustrating not being

able to help him when he's like this,

but it's nothing

life threatening, believe me.

But will you be here?

All day. So if you just

wait in the waiting room.

Okay, I'll do that OK?

Doctor Laraby?

Don't you think everything

is for a reason?

Like us, here?

After what happened in the diner.

We all want to believe.

Do you think it has a personality?

Yes, of course. Why wouldn't it?

yeah, what kind does it have?

What kind of people would live in a

house like this? - People like us.

Intelligent... kind.

Wealthy.

- With a great sense of humor.

How are the headaches? I mean...

- They're okay.

I love the slope of the roof

against that hill, don't you?

I've been looking at the plans

again today, and I was thinking

the sheer walls have to be where they have

to be, but in terms of the space inside.

We can actually go with the second

spare bedroom, if we wanted to.

You know, in case we...

decide to... You know.

What?

I love you.

Did you know that?

Kalmont Internal.

- Yes hello, Dr Laraby please?

Ma'am? Hello?

Please. Please.

Come on.

Ed Sachs, you remember him?

- yeah.

He had a sister in-law who couldn't talk.

You know what they did?

I can't listen to this.

You're just worried about the insurance.

It's not about that.

- What is it about then?

No, I'm asking you, what is it about?

Honey I told you a million times.

-What is stopping you from helping him.

This is the last one I can bring

you on the house unless you play.

Sir, if you're going to

play, please step up,

Otherwise I'm going to have

to ask you to take it back.

Sorry.

- What's wrong with this guy?

He needs help.

- By telling him how f***ed up he should be?

Nobody is going to tell him...

- You're crazy.

You're crazy, you're crazy,

you're crazy, you're crazy!

You keep screaming that,

he'll start believing it!

Can't even piss on his own,

they f***ed Michael's head.

Michael was in a f***ing war!

He'd be here with us, right

now, if it wasn't for...

For what? This isn't about you,

you self-righteous prick.

God who is in all things.

Let us fly free on the wings of Angels.

To face fear.

Avoid pride and temptation.

And be thankful for their gifts.

Above the sins of this earth.

Give us the strength to

give strength to others.

In the name of thy only son.

Good evening, sir.

Changing 20,000.

Okay, Steve, from San Diego.

It's risk and reward.

What we're all heading toward.

Now or never. All or nothing.

I have faith.

I got doubts.

It's your call.

My question is...

Am I lucky?

Fourteen, sir.

Hey, how are you?

- Good, and you?

Listen, I'm sorry.

Got a case waiting, can't make it for lunch.

You want to grab something without me.

Didn't think you were going to make it.

I left you some left-overs anyway.

What left-overs?

- The soup from last night.

It's even better today.

I had some already.

Did you save any?

- I'm not saving it for you.

I have to head out to the site

I need to check some measurements.

Tell you what. Why don't you

stay there maybe I can get away.

You just said you couldn't, silly.

I'll only be half an hour anyway.

Why don't you wait, maybe later

we can both go out there.

I'm late now,

If I'm going to get my work done.

I'll call you when I get back, okay? Bye.

- Jo?

Can you get the day nurse to deal her,

and get child services in here right now.

Hey, Charlie.

Just come to see how you fared.

Hoping you looked like a winner.

Hey, Jimmy?

Jim?

Bob?

Bob have you seen Jimmy?

No.

Put it down right there.

So let's be straight here, so

there'll be no misunderstanding...

You lost 25 in change in a day?

Is that what happened?

Charlie, is that what happened?

Empty your pockets for me, Charlie.

Use that, call a cab, call someone

from your family come get you.

Get down on your knees,

I want you to grab the crate.

I hate this Charlie... I f***ing hate it.

But it's happening, cause it's stupid.

Please.

Please, no!

Please, don't.

God, please, don't!

Please. Please.

Pray.

Please!

It's Jimmy's mum.

He's been gone since last night.

It's OK, I know where he is.

Ms Davenport we just have a few questions

before you can see Davey. Will that be OK?

Hold it!

Hey, guy?

God knows they were brave Jimmy.

Dad smiled down like he didn't

have a care in the world.

God wants you to be brave.

And you can be too.

God can help you.

See it that everyone felt like I do.

His witness as you are too.

- Tell what you really saw.

Tell it!

- Jimmy... This is dangerous.

Whatever you two think that you have to hide.

It's not worth it. - Tell it!

I saw Dad.

And he smiled down and he

told me not to be scared.

He was so brave and then...

I was holding his hand and he was holding

mine and then his coke spilled. - No!

And there were four shots...

No! Remember it!

You go on and I will.

- Jimmy! Please, this is enough.

Tell it.

He did...

he did...

- Nothing!

Please! Please! Don't.

God, please, don't!

Please!

Please?

Don't you say anything.

Ever.

Jimmy, give me the gun.

Just give me the gun.

Here we go.

I just sat...

I just sat there while, a man shot dad.

And I didn't do anything.

I didn't know what to say and,

I let go of his hand.

I could have told him that...

He didn't die brave like I said

He was just scared and alone

and he couldn't do anything mum.

I'm sorry.

- No, it's OK.

I can't ever forgive that
