All right, Markham.

This is an easy one,

so you go ahead and take it.

Yeah, I mean,

you make it look easy.

Yeah, well, it ain't.

But just so you know,

if we're showing up,

they've got notices...

court notices.

Now they may be in denial,

but they've been notified.

It shouldn't come

You just give it to them

And remember,

Hi, my name

I'm with Frank Hudson Realty.

- What? No.

- Sir...

No. No, I filed...

I filed an extension.

Okay, well, I have paperwork

that says we have

a court order to...

Just... hold on.

Sir...

Wait, just...

something's not right.

Look, as I was saying,

we have a court-ordered

eviction, all right?

Sir, listen,

we have an eviction.

Sir? Deputy Miller.

Do you have any weapons

on the premises?

A cop? [CHUCKLING DRYLY]

You brought...

My paperwork says we have

a court-ordered eviction,

ah, ah!

[SIGHS]

Here you go, here.

There it is, it's all...

it's all right there.

I told you.

Look, Mr. Markham...

the best I can do

is give you a 72-hour

stay of eviction, okay?

We're going to be back

in three days,

- and you have to be gone.

- Okay.

- All right.

- Three days.

Three days. All right.

[CLEARS THROAT]

72 hours?

Well, Frank, he had a stay

of eviction from the court.

You see this date?

That was yesterday.

He needed the registrar's

signature right there.

Do you see a signature there?

No.

This is the eviction date.

This is the registrar's

I don't think I'd call him

sneaky, though.

He's sneakier

What you doing?

I'm trying to consolidate

Really not making it easy

No, they don't.

So how'd it go?

[SIGHS]

What's this?

Oh, Miss Masterson

called in sick again,

so I'm subbing

for her all week.

That's good news, right?

Well, I'm not

an English teacher,

little bit helps.

Yeah, forget it.

I'll just go in tomorrow

Can't you consolidate your

student loans through our bank?

Yeah, hopefully.

- Job sucks that bad, huh?

- It's not that it sucks.

cooking.

Wow.

I've seen frying pans

- Frank.

- What?

Thanks for asking, Carmen.

Uh...

[LAUGHS]

To be honest, I'm...

I'm pretty bad at it.

I'll say.

Okay, Frank.

It's his first week.

Give him a break.

- It's sets a pattern.

- A pattern?

Debt. Like a disease.

You invite it into your house,

you put everybody in danger.

All right, Daddy, you're

getting off-topic here.

- Manny's just...

- What?

- Overqualified?

- No, no.

I didn't say that.

Look, if anything, I'm...

D... different qualified.

You know?

Okay, Frank.

Maybe they just need

some motivation.

We're plenty motivated,

Daddy, believe me.

Look, Frank, I really

appreciate this opportunity,

and I'm going to do

everything it takes.

I won't let you down.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Oh, no.

Is he about

to Al Capone me?

This bat was given to my dad.

He gave it to me.

- You played baseball?

- No. It's not for baseball.

Here's my point, Manny.

You need to ask yourself,

"Am I capable of taking this

bat to somebody's head?"

[ALICIA LAUGHS]

Because that's the kind

of toughness this job requires.

Your emotions run high.

People get all worked up.

And if you don't have what

it takes to bring the pain

when it's called for...

then it's time

to find another job.

Okay, the first time Frank

had to "bring the pain,"

he threw up in their bushes

halfway down their driveway.

- I had the flu.

- [LAUGHS]

Then he went to confession

every day for a week.

Even Father Esposito

laughed at you.

Manny, maybe this job

isn't right for you.

It's just temporary, Daddy.

You mean like

it was temporary

when you two

moved into the basement?

How long ago was that?

[CHUCKLES]

Dad is wrong.

No, he's not.

I'd be pretty pissed too

if my daughter married

some deadbeat.

Dude can't even

get a job.

And he lives

in my basement.

He just doesn't get it.

He doesn't know

how hard it is out there.

He loves us.

Mm, nope. He loves you.

He's got great taste.

You should have seen him

with my junior prom date.

That guy still

has a stutter.

Oh, wow.

Kevin, man,

what is this?

Someone who's been

called it "Adharma."

Maybe it's a demon.

A vengeful spirit.

The manifestation

of karma itself.

What do you mean, "karma"?

Adharma, personified

as the son of Brahma,

was married to violence

and father of falsehood

and deceit.

if it has its claws in you,

you did something

No. Look, man,

Bad days.

Lost the house.

itself to anyone around you

Ever since the day

it's been one thing

after another.

Dude, my wife's dad just died

right in front of me.

And you're telling me that's

because I have some bad karma?

I told you my mom couldn't

be moved, and she died.

What do you think that is?

Asshole.

Look, I'm sorry, man.

Are you seeing the...

are you seeing them?

In reflections?

Yeah.

It comes after you.

Hurts you.

And uses the people you love

It's already gone

My wife left me

She didn't make it.

the guy who did it.

Guess he got away with it.

- Yeah. Can you grab me that?

Yeah.

Thanks.

How was the drive up?

It was fine.

Only took me four hours.

School's good?

Yeah.

Look, thank you for coming.

It means a lot.

Of course.

We're family.

It's okay.

It's not just

losing my dad, Lisa.

We've been going

And so many things

just keep happening.

What? What's going on?

Hey.

It's okay.

Nothing.

Bullshit.

Did Alicia tell you?

No.

I knew something was wrong

the moment that I saw you.

I thought you were supposed

to be a communications major.

It's like a therapist,

sort of.

Well, what's my diagnosis?

You're crazy.

No offense.

What, do you think you have

bad karma or something?

- Look, it's complicated.

- What is it with you?

Look, if you think

you've got some

bad karma voodoo shit

going on,

maybe you should try

to figure out what you did

to put it on,

and then try to figure out

what you need to do

to take it off.

when you kicked some old

Mrs. Boone?

My name is Manny Everett.

I'm with Frank Hudson Realty,

and I'm here to discuss

your pending eviction.

I know you may feel as if

you're in

a hopeless situation,

but I'm here to try and help

you keep your house.

This is a standard

stay-of-eviction request.

I want you to go

to the courthouse...

And meet with a person

named Norman Miller.

He works in

the registrar's office.

I would say the best time to go

is between 1:00 and 2:00.

That's after he's

had his lunch

with a gallon of coffee,

and before

his midafternoon crash.

He'll be pepped up

and most likely to listen

to his conscience.

- That's great.

- Yeah? Okay, so...

after the registrar,

you're going to go

to the claims office.

That's third floor, Room 302-B.

Ask to speak with Susie.

She's going to have you fill

out a 1499A.

That's a request to expedite

your stay of eviction.

Then she's going to ask you

to pay a $400 fee.

Just tell her that I've taken

care of it, all right?

She'll know

what that means.

Thank you.

- Good?

- Yeah. Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

You have to turn on

the gas.
