This is an easy one,

Yeah, well, it ain't.

But just so you know,
if we're showing up,

they've got notices...

Now they may be in denial,

It shouldn't come

You just give it to them

Hi, my name

I'm with Frank Hudson Realty.

- What? No.

No. No, I filed...
I filed an extension.

Okay, well, I have paperwork
that says we have

Just... hold on.

Sir...

Wait, just...

Look, as I was saying,

we have a court-ordered

Sir, listen,
we have an eviction.

Sir? Deputy Miller.

Do you have any weapons

[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

sneaky, though.

He's sneakier

I'm trying to consolidate

Really not making it easy

No, they don't.

What's this?

Oh, Miss Masterson
called in sick again,

so I'm subbing

That's good news, right?

Well, I'm not

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.

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.

you reached this point
a lot faster than I did.

What is this?

You cursed me?

Kevin.

Kevin, man,
what is this?

Someone who's been
close to me recently

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.

All I know is that
if it has its claws in you,

you did something
to deserve it.

No. Look, man,

I didn't do anything
to deserve this shit.

It comes in phases.

It starts small.

Bad days.

Yo!

Work problems.

Shit like that.

Lost my job.

Lost the house.

I think it attaches
itself to anyone around you

who does something bad.

You pass it to them,

Man, this is bullshit.

Are you telling me
because I did my job

I'm now damned to some kind
of eternal suffering?

And this?

This isn't karma, man.

Then why are you here?

I don't know, okay?

Ever since the day
I saw you,

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
to make you suffer.

It's already gone
after my wife.

My wife left me
for another guy.

I guess it works
in mysterious ways.

Look how do I protect her,
all right?

How do I stop this?

I don't know.

Run away?

Do I look like
I have any answers?

A few months back,
a woman named Sally Maywood

ran out in front of a car.

Hit-and-run
off the highway.

It was dark.

The driver
was distracted.

She didn't make it.

They never caught
the guy who did it.

Guess he got away with it.

But not really, right?

Why are you

Maybe it'll help me.

Maybe it'll work.

Maybe not.

- 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.

Your brother...

We've been going

And so many things
just keep happening.

Especially this week.

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.

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

when you kicked some old

out of his house?

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.
