Kaleidoscope (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript
♪ Well, you better listen
My sisters and brothers ♪
♪ 'Cause if you do, you can hear ♪
♪ There are voices
Still calling across the years... ♪
There's some things
I gotta tell you.
They ain't easy to explain.
I want to say that the choices I made,
I made them for you.
For your mom.
But I don't know if that's true.
Sometimes they went okay.
Sometimes they went real wrong.
And I want to be done with
making those kinds of choices.
But I don't know if I can.
I just don't know.
Old billionaire
is talking to a young banker,
he says, "I was dead broke,
with my last nickel."
"I bought an apple."
"I polished that apple up,
I sold it for a dime."
"Next day I bought two apples."
"I polished both up,
sold them for 20 cents."
Young banker says, "Yeah,
you kept reinvesting, made it big."
He says, "No, my wife's father
choked to death on the apple,
left me a fortune."
Now that's the way you do it.
Uh...
- Can I get two more?
- Sure thing.
I'm guessing
this is the part of the evening
where you tell me why you're the guy
to manage my investments.
I can think of better ways
to spend our time.
Ooh.
Okay, Mom and Pop,
I brought him home!
This is how you live, baby!
Okay.
Yeah!
Who wants one of my famous martinis?
- Yeah, you can count me in.
- Yeah?
I'm gonna hit the head.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind.
I am.
Double. Double. Double! Double!
Ready?
Speed it up. They can hear you.
I'm 30 seconds out of here.
Wait, can you spin it open?
You couldn't keep them out longer?
What kind of asshole has a TL-30
in a fucking closet.
A rich guy. Look at this.
Audemars Piguet. 5K easy.
Just give me a hand here.
Got it. I got it.
What the fuck?
Crowbar. Right here. Just help me out.
Okay.
Okay. Get it in there.
- One, two, three.
- Okay.
Yes.
All right.
Okay.
Yeah, yes!
No, no, no, I'll be right back down.
- Let's go, go!
- Have another drink!
- Hey.
- What are you doing in here?
You must have 100 bathrooms here.
I can't find one.
Let's go check on the ladies.
I see they're warming up on you.
Gonna get a little more comfortable.
You... you should think about Chicago.
You gotta deal with the winters,
but you can make a lot of money here.
No doubt.
Hey.
You got that, uh, that bathroom?
Down the hall and to the left.
- Down the hall?
- Yep.
Which hall? You got so many halls.
- That one.
- That one.
Hey, hey, hey! Ladies. Here I come.
Hey, Ray.
Yeah, Graham, come on.
Get me out of here!
Fuck!
Wait, wait!
Hold on, hold on.
Hurry!
Okay, it's coming, it's coming.
You okay?
- Jesus.
- You good?
Yeah, I'm good. Go, go, go.
Fucking crazy bastard.
Oh, fuck.

Come on, just eat your victory steak.
Oh, watch the shoulder.
Oh, fuck, you hurt?
Still a bit bruised. I'll be fine.
How much we got, 50?
Seventy.
Maybe 40 to split after the fence.
Plus...
this.
You motherfucker.
"Leave the watch," he says.
I can't have my man
strutting around in a Casio.
Gotta have you looking good
when we pull in a big whale like Max.
You're like a fucking diamond, man.
Put you under pressure
you just come up shining.
If those doors were closed
one-eighth of an inch more,
those bars locked in...
Fucking airtight safe, man.
Imagine me
trying to re-crack the cylinder.
Couldn't open a jar of pickles.
You'd have been fucked.
Not gonna eat that?
Nah, no, it's for you.
Don't mind if I do.
Hey.
Good morning.
How was Chicago?
It was good.
Real good.
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm.
Oh!
- Ray.
- I'm bringing this stuff to Ava later.
I thought I'd save a piece.
Might go really well
with those earrings from Memphis.
Oh, God, it's beautiful.
- Oh, thank you, baby. Thank you.
- Mmm-hmm.
- Whoo!
- Oh!
Whoa!
Good morning.
This little squirrel was up
late last night waiting for her daddy.
Do you want to tell him what happened?
I got my yellow belt.
Wow!
Congratulations. Come on.
Show your old man some moves.
All right, now stand up tall.
Show me some pride.
Eyes straight ahead.
Focus.
Show me where you're brave.
Show me where you're strong.
Hmm.
Now, give your daddy a hug.
Why don't you two go out for breakfast
and give Mommy some more time
to properly wake up.
All right.
- Love you, baby.
- Love you.
H-A-N-N-A-H.
It works both ways.
Can we play a game?
Let's see. Seven o'clock.
It's a family.
Mom, son, grandparents.
What's their story?
Grandparents are visiting from... Wisconsin.
They're happy 'cause they don't get to see
their grandson much since the divorce.
What do you know about divorce?
Sammy's parents got a divorce.
Her mom wanted to get a dog
and then her dad got to get her a dog too.
Grownups let you do anything
after they split up.
Can I have a dog?
I'll feed him
and play with him in the yard.
I don't think
we have the right fence.
So we get a fence!
With flowers on it, so it's pretty.
- Get the green.
- Then we'll talk.
I like your outfit.
Well, aren't you the sweetest.
Can I get you guys anything else?
I'll take some chocolate pie.
Oh, nice try, kiddo.
Just the check, please.
I gotta make a call.
Talk to the hand.
Ha!
Everything all right?
Ray, pack your jumpsuits
'cause we're going to Vegas, baby.
♪ Uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh, yes ♪
Dude, we just got back.
Come on.
It's Comdex at the Sands.
These computers
are just like easy fucking cash.
Hit the strip on the way out.
Double the fucking take. Come on.
Let me finish my breakfast.
I thought we said no pie.
She just gave it to me.
I said, I liked her cat apron
and she asked me if I liked cats
and I said I did,
but it makes me sad
to think about them since the accident.
What accident?
The accident that killed our cat.
Hannah!
I'm a tricky little squirrel, huh?
That flutter kick could use some work.
Why don't you hop in
and show me how it's done.
Grab a towel. I'm on the clock.
Nice.
So what do you think? Forty? Fifty?
I have to talk with Zanetti.
This is more than usual.
Funnel it through the company
like I always do.
The government's
turning up the heat on laundering.
You will need a sub-chapter S,
some LLCs out of Delaware, you know.
Law school's teaching you new tricks.
If you live beneath the waves,
it's good to swim with the fish.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- It sounds better in Spanish.
Anyway.
Let me set you up. Double your take.
I'm taking on enough risk as it is.
I go any bigger, I'm asking to get caught
and I can't do that to my family.
Hey. This was your biggest haul in years.
And after the split
you'll get maybe 20,000? 25?
Most guys I fence for,
they don't have families, lives.
But you,
you need to figure out
what you really want, hmm?
I'll be in touch.
When I told you
that Chicago went real good.
It...
It almost went real bad.
Okay.
Ever since I was Hannah's age,
it feels like I've been hanging on
to the edge of a cliff.
I look at you and Hannah and...
I know it ain't fair
to ask you to hang there with me.
I... I want to get something real
under our feet.
I've been thinking about auto parts.
Now, I know my way around.
I can sell things to people.
Do some repairs on the side.
Starting a business is hard, Ray,
I mean, we... we'd have to tighten the belt.
We don't live large.
And I don't mind smaller if it's better.
I could pick up bookkeeping jobs.
Not so fast.
See, I'm going to need an accountant.
Yeah, like you could afford me.
Oh!
You think you could stop?
Ah!
Who's ready for a good time?
Look at you! It's been so long, huh?
- It has been.
- Hey, hey, hey!
Hey.
Look at Master Chef over here!
Ray's been at it all day.
Courtney, the famous Lily and Ray Vernon.
You have a beautiful home.
Thank you for inviting us.
So you two met at a convention?
Rolling Greens Golf Club.
It's not far from here, actually.
Yeah, Graham was a member.
I was, uh, just working there.
- My parents were members.
- Oh, yeah.
Yeah. My dad worked double shifts
to afford it, but...
We stuck out
like sore thumbs in that place, huh?
Just hiding bread rolls in our pants.
Those rich fuckers staring us down.
This guy was working
one hell of a con from the Pro Shop.
No, it was more like a loophole.
What's a loophole?
Oh, that's a good question.
Let's say your mom, she lays down the law.
She says you can't take any more bread.
A loophole is when you ask me to take it
and then I hand it over to you.
Now, did you break the law?
No. Somebody else took it. I just ate it.
Good girl, that is a loophole.
That's cool.
Yeah, but you still got in trouble.
Eh, that's for the courts to decide.
Is that what you do when you go to work?
No, no. No, no, no, we work with money.
Oh, I set 'em up,
your pop knocks 'em down.
Okay, baby, um, why don't you
go upstairs now and get ready for bed.
I want to hear more about the loophole.
Now. Hmm.
I was thinking
that maybe we should take a break.
I think, after Vegas, what we should do
is just take a couple months out,
slow it down.
Hannah's getting older,
she's becoming aware of things.
And Lily, she's on her own
when we're on the road.
Yeah. No, I hear you.
I think we should just cut back, you know,
take it easy, play it smart.
Yeah, and just, when the time is right,
we strike again, my old friend.
Fuck yeah.
Look, I'm... I'm out, man.
I am done... for good.
- How long you been holding this in?
- We always said it was temporary.
Well, yeah, like 15 years ago.
You said it yourself,
Chicago could've gone sideways.
- You punishing me?
- No, it's not like that.
Chicago's a fluke.
I won't let that happen again.
I can't keep covering your ass.
Covering my ass?
What is that supposed to mean?
I take just as much risk as you.
What do you think happens
when they see a Black man
breaking into a white man's house?
I'm the one
who's jumping out of windows and you,
you get to walk out the front door.
♪ You said you loved me for real ♪
♪ But is that the way you feel, yeah ♪
♪ Things you do for me
Are supposed to be satisfying ♪
Oh!
♪ But I always end up crying ♪
Hmm.
♪ 'Cause it's all the bottom line ♪
♪ You see, it's all the bottom line ♪
♪ I see that smile in your eyes ♪
♪ That don't remove
This doubt inside, no ♪
♪ Lately when you touch me
Tell me how much you care ♪

♪ You think you won me over ♪
Straight arms, straight arms.
So, you want the good news
or the bad news?
Well, who wants bad news?
So we are only...
six grand short this month.
This bank loan's killing us.
Ray, if we could just refinance...
I put up everything we had
to get the nine-and-a-half,
but they're not giving money
to guys like me.
- We need bodies through the door.
- Hmm.
I gotta run.
What, you going to the club?
Believe me, I would much rather be here
with you than in that dark cellar.
Come pick me up when you close.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay. You!
- Hmm?
- Watch out for Daddy while I'm gone.
- Can I come? I like the club.
- No, let Mama do her thing.
- Please.
- Uh, yeah, you know what? Yeah.
Yeah, let's get out of the store
for a bit.
- You sure?
- Give you some space, sure.
All right? We'll have fun.
You'll help Mommy, my little helper.
- Yeah.
- Let's go, let's go, let's go. Love you.
- Bye!
- See you, squirrel.
Hello, sir.
I need three copies of my house keys.
Uh, yeah, sure.
How about you come back
in what, uh, 30 minutes?
Oh!
Shit.
Go on, make yourself a copy.
What? That'd be illegal, wouldn't it?
- How the fuck you doing, baby?
- Good.
I was in the vicinity, thought I'd,
uh, come and check the place out.
- Eight months this Tuesday.
- Yeah.
You fucking did it, man. I'm proud of you.
Doing okay. Got some repeat customers.
Neighborhood's catching on.
- Gotta keep paying the bank, right?
- Yeah, we're doing okay.
You get in that fucker's house,
you could start paying your debt
right quick.
What kind of alarm system
you reckon that guy has?
A guy like that, basic dual trigger.
- You know, central monitoring station.
- Yeah.
You bypass it with a circuit bridge.
Wall safe?
- Floor.
- Yeah.
Digital dial.
But he keeps the code in his Rolodex.
- Easy money.
- Easy money... 'til it ain't.
Yeah.
So what, you just happen to be
in the neighborhood?
Okay. You got me.
Um, no actually. The truth is, um...
Okay. I'm in trouble.
How bad?
250. Closer to 300 with the...
Shit, who fronted you
that kind of money?
Look, all I need to do
is get my head above water and just...
get some fucking big cash
and I need it fast, you know.
I can't...
You gotta find somebody else.
Oh, I tried. No one can do what you do.
Ray... I... I fucking need you, man.
- Hey, Hannah.
- Hmm?
Baby, could you take that outside?
Okey-dokey.
Mama, I'm in the brig!
Can I help you, sir?
I'm here to see my wife. Lily Vernon.
Works at purchasing.
I'll call over, just one... second. Uh, sir.
Hi, could you let Lily know
that her husband is here?
Thank you.
- Yeah, good, I'm just...
- Feel free to have a seat.
There's cucumber water.
Ow, you're hurting me!
- Hannah?
- Let me go.
Hannah!
Sir. Ex... Sir!
- Let go of me.
- Could we have security to the lobby?
- Hannah!
- Just get off, you're hurting me!
Wait... Get your goddamn hands off my kid!
She's breaking into club property.
What is wrong with you?
She's just a child.
This isn't a playground.
There are rules here.
- Look at me, did he hurt you?
- Maybe not in your house.
What? Okay, come on, come on...
Just walk. Let's just get out of here, go.
What, what's going on? Ray?
This is a place of business.
Not some ghetto backyard cookout.
- What the fuck did you say?
- Ray, stop.
- No, you say it again. Say it again!
- Kyle, I'm so sorry, this is my fault.
- How is it your fault?
- I should've been attentive.
- You shouldn't have brought her.
- This is bullshit.
It won't happen again, I promise.
You're right, it won't. Pack your things.
- No, you can't take this out on her!
- No, Kyle! Kyle!
That's it?
You're gonna let him get away with that?
I'm sorry, Daddy.
It's all right, baby.
It's not your fault.
I just wanted to play in the hidey-hole.
Yeah.
Hey, uh,
let's go wait in the car, squirrel.
Okay.
Let's take 'em down.
Christmas Charity Auction.
There'll be security all over the place.
I've been to these things.
They bring in girls to model the jewels
while the husbands
get all tipsy and horny,
- drives the bids up.
- More cover for us.
We need to know
when the jewelry is going to arrive.
We'll find out storage and display areas.
What about entrance and exits?
As usual, you know,
you put on a suit and a smile
and walk through the front door.
And I'll do what I do.
And go. Real gems come out.
Fake gems go in.
And... done.
Seventeen seconds.
Okay. I figure
I have four minutes between rotations
to take out all the gems.
If costume jewelry looks so good,
why waste money on the real thing?
It won't hold up under a loupe,
but it'll last for as long as we need it.
So, what about the Orchid?
It's too hard to fence.
Okay, again.
And Lily?
I'll tell her.
I'll tell her.
I just spent an hour
organizing paint samples.
I think I might be going color blind.
- Hey. You okay?
- Yeah, I was just thinking I...
About money?
- Glen Hills.
- Oh, no!
Nope, they do not get another second
of free rent in our heads, Ray.
- They... they got this auction...
- Forget about the club!
You're betting on yourself.
And you just gotta trust your instincts.
Hmm?
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, I, uh, I gotta take out
that sales rep from Airtex.
See if he'll give me a better price.
You know, I might be home a bit late.
Okay. See you later tonight.
Oh.
Excuse me. Thank you.
I can't believe I'm about to lose.
You made this too hard for Mommy.
It wasn't me. Pepper picked the code.
Oh, oh? Really?
Okay. Let's try this.
This is it. This is it. I feel it.
- You got it wrong.
- Oh, come on.
- Ha-ha!
- To your own mother, Pepper?
No.
You're Pepper's grandma.
- And just like that I'm a grandmother?
- Yep.
Hello?
Um...
Okay. Yeah, I... I can be there in 45.
Mm, uh, sweetie,
I've got to run to the club.
So I'm going to call Beverley
and see if she can come over
and watch you, okay?
But you got fired.
Yes. And now my boss is calling me back
because he needs my help.
Why don't you stay here
and read until Beverley comes.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Okay. I love you.
- Love you too.
How's it looking? Busy?
- Wealthy.
- I'm heading there now.
Hey, hey, hey.
Come on, let's keep it moving.
We have 200 covers tonight.
Ándale.
Hi.
Sir.
Uh, no thank... The fuck?
Uh, would you like one of, uh, these?
- Okay.
- Take a napkin.
I'm heading in.
Excuse me.
First one's on the way.
Bogey's on your six.
Clear. Keep a watch.
Jen claims she was in some sort of
fender-bender on tonight of all nights.
I'm not saying she's a liar,
but she's been in
a lot of accidents lately.
Yeah, it's all right,
I'm glad to help out.
I just need someone to reconcile
the... the purchases from the invoices.
The last time we had an auction like this,
it was a paperwork nightmare.
It... It's okay, Kyle, I, um...
You know what, why don't you go
and take care of your guests
and I will handle everything.
- Yes, well... Thank you.
- Okay.
You don't think
it's a little over-the-top?
No! If anything, it's nuanced.
- Nuanced? Thank you.
- Hmm.
- Oh, would you excuse me?
- Sure.
Houseguests in two, Ray.
- You copy? Incoming.
- Can't stop.
Get me more time.
Excuse me, miss. Um...
My mother would very much
like to have a look...
- Sir, please. Step back.
- ...at that necklace.
She is very rich.
- Quite drunk.
- Sir, please.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Ray, get out. Get out now.
Okay. Let's do this one. Here.
- Hey you, don't move! Don't move!
- Wait, wait.
- Stay down. Get down on the ground.
- Okay, hold on.
- Look, this is a misunderstanding!
- What are you doing in here?
- Fellas! What's going on here?
- Please return to the party.
I'm gonna to need some backup...
David, David. Come in.
Oh, shit. Oh, fuck.
David, David. Are you there?
- You all right?
- Let's get the fuck out of here.
- Okay. Get the bag.
- We gotta get out of here.
Yeah, we're going.
We gotta move. We gotta move.
- What are you doing?
- Buying us some time.
- Shit.
- Jesus.
- Jesus Christ!
- Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Get the fuck out. I got this.
Come on, come on!
- Where are you going?
- No, no. She's here.
- Who?
- Lily. I saw her car in the parking lot.
- I thought she got fired.
- She's here somewhere.
I'm going this way.
Shit.
Help.
- Help! Help!
- Lily!
Ray?
- Help! I'm in here!
- Lily!
Fuck!
- Lily! Lily!
- Help me.
Help!
Lily!
Help!
Lily, look at me, look at me.
Move! Move baby, please!
Lily! Lily, Lily, just stay low.
Just stay low. I got you.
Just stay low. I got... Oh, shit!
Graham?
Graham! She's right there!
She's right there!
- Where is she?
- Graham, she's right there, man. Come on.
Graham, you got her.
Graham has got you. He's got you, Lily.
Stay low.
We hear you.
Help is on the way.
Graham, no! No!
There's some things
I gotta tell you.
They ain't easy to explain.
I want to say that the choices I made...
Lily!
...I made them for you. For your mom.
But I don't know if that's true.
Sometimes they went okay.
Sometimes...
No.
...they went real wrong.
Lily!
Help!
Help!
And I want to be done
making those kinds of choices.
But I don't know if I can.
I just don't know.
Maybe tomorrow it'll all be better.
Is Mama gonna be okay?
I don't know.
When can we see her?
I don't know.
Hi. Can I help you?
This is Detective Tony Barrelli.
Come on, squirrel.
Come on, let me zip you up.
Things...
Things may be different a little while.
What do you mean?
The world may not be as you expect.
People may not do as they should.
But...
I want you to stand up straight
and you, you make it right.
You see that woman down there?
Her name is Ava.
You're going to walk to her.
You're gonna do what she tells you.
And you keep walking.
You don't look back. No matter what.
But... But I want to stay with you.
I know, baby, but I need you
to walk on alone just for a little while.
And be brave?
Yeah.
Remember what we say about being brave?
Show me where you're brave.
Show me where you're strong.
Ray Vernon,
you have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney...

Ooh.
Okay, Mom and Pop,
I brought him home!
This is how you live, baby!
Okay.
Yeah!
Who wants one of my famous martinis?
- Yeah, you can count me in.
- Yeah?
I'm gonna hit the head.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind.
I am.
Double. Double. Double! Double!
Ready?
Speed it up. They can hear you.
I'm 30 seconds out of here.
Wait, can you spin it open?
You couldn't keep them out longer?
What kind of asshole has a TL-30
in a fucking closet.
A rich guy. Look at this.
Audemars Piguet. 5K easy.
Just give me a hand here.
Got it. I got it.
What the fuck?
Crowbar. Right here. Just help me out.
Okay.
Okay. Get it in there.
- One, two, three.
- Okay.
Yes.
All right.
Okay.
Yeah, yes!
No, no, no, I'll be right back down.
- Let's go, go!
- Have another drink!
- Hey.
- What are you doing in here?
You must have 100 bathrooms here.
I can't find one.
Let's go check on the ladies.
I see they're warming up on you.
Gonna get a little more comfortable.
You... you should think about Chicago.
You gotta deal with the winters,
but you can make a lot of money here.
No doubt.
Hey.
You got that, uh, that bathroom?
Down the hall and to the left.
- Down the hall?
- Yep.
Which hall? You got so many halls.
- That one.
- That one.
Hey, hey, hey! Ladies. Here I come.
Hey, Ray.
Yeah, Graham, come on.
Get me out of here!
Fuck!
Wait, wait!
Hold on, hold on.
Hurry!
Okay, it's coming, it's coming.
You okay?
- Jesus.
- You good?
Yeah, I'm good. Go, go, go.
Fucking crazy bastard.
Oh, fuck.

Come on, just eat your victory steak.
Oh, watch the shoulder.
Oh, fuck, you hurt?
Still a bit bruised. I'll be fine.
How much we got, 50?
Seventy.
Maybe 40 to split after the fence.
Plus...
this.
You motherfucker.
"Leave the watch," he says.
I can't have my man
strutting around in a Casio.
Gotta have you looking good
when we pull in a big whale like Max.
You're like a fucking diamond, man.
Put you under pressure
you just come up shining.
If those doors were closed
one-eighth of an inch more,
those bars locked in...
Fucking airtight safe, man.
Imagine me
trying to re-crack the cylinder.
Couldn't open a jar of pickles.
You'd have been fucked.
Not gonna eat that?
Nah, no, it's for you.
Don't mind if I do.
Hey.
Good morning.
How was Chicago?
It was good.
Real good.
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm.
Oh!
- Ray.
- I'm bringing this stuff to Ava later.
I thought I'd save a piece.
Might go really well
with those earrings from Memphis.
Oh, God, it's beautiful.
- Oh, thank you, baby. Thank you.
- Mmm-hmm.
- Whoo!
- Oh!
Whoa!
Good morning.
This little squirrel was up
late last night waiting for her daddy.
Do you want to tell him what happened?
I got my yellow belt.
Wow!
Congratulations. Come on.
Show your old man some moves.
All right, now stand up tall.
Show me some pride.
Eyes straight ahead.
Focus.
Show me where you're brave.
Show me where you're strong.
Hmm.
Now, give your daddy a hug.
Why don't you two go out for breakfast
and give Mommy some more time
to properly wake up.
All right.
- Love you, baby.
- Love you.
H-A-N-N-A-H.
It works both ways.
Can we play a game?
Let's see. Seven o'clock.
It's a family.
Mom, son, grandparents.
What's their story?
Grandparents are visiting from... Wisconsin.
They're happy 'cause they don't get to see
their grandson much since the divorce.
What do you know about divorce?
Sammy's parents got a divorce.
Her mom wanted to get a dog
and then her dad got to get her a dog too.
Grownups let you do anything
after they split up.
Can I have a dog?
I'll feed him
and play with him in the yard.
I don't think
we have the right fence.
So we get a fence!
With flowers on it, so it's pretty.
- Get the green.
- Then we'll talk.
I like your outfit.
Well, aren't you the sweetest.
Can I get you guys anything else?
I'll take some chocolate pie.
Oh, nice try, kiddo.
Just the check, please.
I gotta make a call.
Talk to the hand.
Ha!
Everything all right?
Ray, pack your jumpsuits
'cause we're going to Vegas, baby.
♪ Uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh, yes ♪
Dude, we just got back.
Come on.
It's Comdex at the Sands.
These computers
are just like easy fucking cash.
Hit the strip on the way out.
Double the fucking take. Come on.
Let me finish my breakfast.
I thought we said no pie.
She just gave it to me.
I said, I liked her cat apron
and she asked me if I liked cats
and I said I did,
but it makes me sad
to think about them since the accident.
What accident?
The accident that killed our cat.
Hannah!
I'm a tricky little squirrel, huh?
That flutter kick could use some work.
Why don't you hop in
and show me how it's done.
Grab a towel. I'm on the clock.
Nice.
So what do you think? Forty? Fifty?
I have to talk with Zanetti.
This is more than usual.
Funnel it through the company
like I always do.
The government's
turning up the heat on laundering.
You will need a sub-chapter S,
some LLCs out of Delaware, you know.
Law school's teaching you new tricks.
If you live beneath the waves,
it's good to swim with the fish.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- It sounds better in Spanish.
Anyway.
Let me set you up. Double your take.
I'm taking on enough risk as it is.
I go any bigger, I'm asking to get caught
and I can't do that to my family.
Hey. This was your biggest haul in years.
And after the split
you'll get maybe 20,000? 25?
Most guys I fence for,
they don't have families, lives.
But you,
you need to figure out
what you really want, hmm?
I'll be in touch.
When I told you
that Chicago went real good.
It...
It almost went real bad.
Okay.
Ever since I was Hannah's age,
it feels like I've been hanging on
to the edge of a cliff.
I look at you and Hannah and...
I know it ain't fair
to ask you to hang there with me.
I... I want to get something real
under our feet.
I've been thinking about auto parts.
Now, I know my way around.
I can sell things to people.
Do some repairs on the side.
Starting a business is hard, Ray,
I mean, we... we'd have to tighten the belt.
We don't live large.
And I don't mind smaller if it's better.
I could pick up bookkeeping jobs.
Not so fast.
See, I'm going to need an accountant.
Yeah, like you could afford me.
Oh!
You think you could stop?
Ah!
Who's ready for a good time?
Look at you! It's been so long, huh?
- It has been.
- Hey, hey, hey!
Hey.
Look at Master Chef over here!
Ray's been at it all day.
Courtney, the famous Lily and Ray Vernon.
You have a beautiful home.
Thank you for inviting us.
So you two met at a convention?
Rolling Greens Golf Club.
It's not far from here, actually.
Yeah, Graham was a member.
I was, uh, just working there.
- My parents were members.
- Oh, yeah.
Yeah. My dad worked double shifts
to afford it, but...
We stuck out
like sore thumbs in that place, huh?
Just hiding bread rolls in our pants.
Those rich fuckers staring us down.
This guy was working
one hell of a con from the Pro Shop.
No, it was more like a loophole.
What's a loophole?
Oh, that's a good question.
Let's say your mom, she lays down the law.
She says you can't take any more bread.
A loophole is when you ask me to take it
and then I hand it over to you.
Now, did you break the law?
No. Somebody else took it. I just ate it.
Good girl, that is a loophole.
That's cool.
Yeah, but you still got in trouble.
Eh, that's for the courts to decide.
Is that what you do when you go to work?
No, no. No, no, no, we work with money.
Oh, I set 'em up,
your pop knocks 'em down.
Okay, baby, um, why don't you
go upstairs now and get ready for bed.
I want to hear more about the loophole.
Now. Hmm.
I was thinking
that maybe we should take a break.
I think, after Vegas, what we should do
is just take a couple months out,
slow it down.
Hannah's getting older,
she's becoming aware of things.
And Lily, she's on her own
when we're on the road.
Yeah. No, I hear you.
I think we should just cut back, you know,
take it easy, play it smart.
Yeah, and just, when the time is right,
we strike again, my old friend.
Fuck yeah.
Look, I'm... I'm out, man.
I am done... for good.
- How long you been holding this in?
- We always said it was temporary.
Well, yeah, like 15 years ago.
You said it yourself,
Chicago could've gone sideways.
- You punishing me?
- No, it's not like that.
Chicago's a fluke.
I won't let that happen again.
I can't keep covering your ass.
Covering my ass?
What is that supposed to mean?
I take just as much risk as you.
What do you think happens
when they see a Black man
breaking into a white man's house?
I'm the one
who's jumping out of windows and you,
you get to walk out the front door.

Straight arms, straight arms.
So, you want the good news
or the bad news?
Well, who wants bad news?
So we are only...
six grand short this month.
This bank loan's killing us.
Ray, if we could just refinance...
I put up everything we had
to get the nine-and-a-half,
but they're not giving money
to guys like me.
- We need bodies through the door.
- Hmm.
I gotta run.
What, you going to the club?
Believe me, I would much rather be here
with you than in that dark cellar.
Come pick me up when you close.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay. You!
- Hmm?
- Watch out for Daddy while I'm gone.
- Can I come? I like the club.
- No, let Mama do her thing.
- Please.
- Uh, yeah, you know what? Yeah.
Yeah, let's get out of the store
for a bit.
- You sure?
- Give you some space, sure.
All right? We'll have fun.
You'll help Mommy, my little helper.
- Yeah.
- Let's go, let's go, let's go. Love you.
- Bye!
- See you, squirrel.
Hello, sir.
I need three copies of my house keys.
Uh, yeah, sure.
How about you come back
in what, uh, 30 minutes?
Oh!
Shit.
Go on, make yourself a copy.
What? That'd be illegal, wouldn't it?
- How the fuck you doing, baby?
- Good.
I was in the vicinity, thought I'd,
uh, come and check the place out.
- Eight months this Tuesday.
- Yeah.
You fucking did it, man. I'm proud of you.
Doing okay. Got some repeat customers.
Neighborhood's catching on.
- Gotta keep paying the bank, right?
- Yeah, we're doing okay.
You get in that fucker's house,
you could start paying your debt
right quick.
What kind of alarm system
you reckon that guy has?
A guy like that, basic dual trigger.
- You know, central monitoring station.
- Yeah.
You bypass it with a circuit bridge.
Wall safe?
- Floor.
- Yeah.
Digital dial.
But he keeps the code in his Rolodex.
- Easy money.
- Easy money... 'til it ain't.
Yeah.
So what, you just happen to be
in the neighborhood?
Okay. You got me.
Um, no actually. The truth is, um...
Okay. I'm in trouble.
How bad?
250. Closer to 300 with the...
Shit, who fronted you
that kind of money?
Look, all I need to do
is get my head above water and just...
get some fucking big cash
and I need it fast, you know.
I can't...
You gotta find somebody else.
Oh, I tried. No one can do what you do.
Ray... I... I fucking need you, man.
- Hey, Hannah.
- Hmm?
Baby, could you take that outside?
Okey-dokey.
Mama, I'm in the brig!
Can I help you, sir?
I'm here to see my wife. Lily Vernon.
Works at purchasing.
I'll call over, just one... second. Uh, sir.
Hi, could you let Lily know
that her husband is here?
Thank you.
- Yeah, good, I'm just...
- Feel free to have a seat.
There's cucumber water.
Ow, you're hurting me!
- Hannah?
- Let me go.
Hannah!
Sir. Ex... Sir!
- Let go of me.
- Could we have security to the lobby?
- Hannah!
- Just get off, you're hurting me!
Wait... Get your goddamn hands off my kid!
She's breaking into club property.
What is wrong with you?
She's just a child.
This isn't a playground.
There are rules here.
- Look at me, did he hurt you?
- Maybe not in your house.
What? Okay, come on, come on...
Just walk. Let's just get out of here, go.
What, what's going on? Ray?
This is a place of business.
Not some ghetto backyard cookout.
- What the fuck did you say?
- Ray, stop.
- No, you say it again. Say it again!
- Kyle, I'm so sorry, this is my fault.
- How is it your fault?
- I should've been attentive.
- You shouldn't have brought her.
- This is bullshit.
It won't happen again, I promise.
You're right, it won't. Pack your things.
- No, you can't take this out on her!
- No, Kyle! Kyle!
That's it?
You're gonna let him get away with that?
I'm sorry, Daddy.
It's all right, baby.
It's not your fault.
I just wanted to play in the hidey-hole.
Yeah.
Hey, uh,
let's go wait in the car, squirrel.
Okay.
Let's take 'em down.
Christmas Charity Auction.
There'll be security all over the place.
I've been to these things.
They bring in girls to model the jewels
while the husbands
get all tipsy and horny,
- drives the bids up.
- More cover for us.
We need to know
when the jewelry is going to arrive.
We'll find out storage and display areas.
What about entrance and exits?
As usual, you know,
you put on a suit and a smile
and walk through the front door.
And I'll do what I do.
And go. Real gems come out.
Fake gems go in.
And... done.
Seventeen seconds.
Okay. I figure
I have four minutes between rotations
to take out all the gems.
If costume jewelry looks so good,
why waste money on the real thing?
It won't hold up under a loupe,
but it'll last for as long as we need it.
So, what about the Orchid?
It's too hard to fence.
Okay, again.
And Lily?
I'll tell her.
I'll tell her.
I just spent an hour
organizing paint samples.
I think I might be going color blind.
- Hey. You okay?
- Yeah, I was just thinking I...
About money?
- Glen Hills.
- Oh, no!
Nope, they do not get another second
of free rent in our heads, Ray.
- They... they got this auction...
- Forget about the club!
You're betting on yourself.
And you just gotta trust your instincts.
Hmm?
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, I, uh, I gotta take out
that sales rep from Airtex.
See if he'll give me a better price.
You know, I might be home a bit late.
Okay. See you later tonight.
Oh.
Excuse me. Thank you.
I can't believe I'm about to lose.
You made this too hard for Mommy.
It wasn't me. Pepper picked the code.
Oh, oh? Really?
Okay. Let's try this.
This is it. This is it. I feel it.
- You got it wrong.
- Oh, come on.
- Ha-ha!
- To your own mother, Pepper?
No.
You're Pepper's grandma.
- And just like that I'm a grandmother?
- Yep.
Hello?
Um...
Okay. Yeah, I... I can be there in 45.
Mm, uh, sweetie,
I've got to run to the club.
So I'm going to call Beverley
and see if she can come over
and watch you, okay?
But you got fired.
Yes. And now my boss is calling me back
because he needs my help.
Why don't you stay here
and read until Beverley comes.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Okay. I love you.
- Love you too.
How's it looking? Busy?
- Wealthy.
- I'm heading there now.
Hey, hey, hey.
Come on, let's keep it moving.
We have 200 covers tonight.
Ándale.
Hi.
Sir.
Uh, no thank... The fuck?
Uh, would you like one of, uh, these?
- Okay.
- Take a napkin.
I'm heading in.
Excuse me.
First one's on the way.
Bogey's on your six.
Clear. Keep a watch.
Jen claims she was in some sort of
fender-bender on tonight of all nights.
I'm not saying she's a liar,
but she's been in
a lot of accidents lately.
Yeah, it's all right,
I'm glad to help out.
I just need someone to reconcile
the... the purchases from the invoices.
The last time we had an auction like this,
it was a paperwork nightmare.
It... It's okay, Kyle, I, um...
You know what, why don't you go
and take care of your guests
and I will handle everything.
- Yes, well... Thank you.
- Okay.
You don't think
it's a little over-the-top?
No! If anything, it's nuanced.
- Nuanced? Thank you.
- Hmm.
- Oh, would you excuse me?
- Sure.
Houseguests in two, Ray.
- You copy? Incoming.
- Can't stop.
Get me more time.
Excuse me, miss. Um...
My mother would very much
like to have a look...
- Sir, please. Step back.
- ...at that necklace.
She is very rich.
- Quite drunk.
- Sir, please.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Ray, get out. Get out now.
Okay. Let's do this one. Here.
- Hey you, don't move! Don't move!
- Wait, wait.
- Stay down. Get down on the ground.
- Okay, hold on.
- Look, this is a misunderstanding!
- What are you doing in here?
- Fellas! What's going on here?
- Please return to the party.
I'm gonna to need some backup...
David, David. Come in.
Oh, shit. Oh, fuck.
David, David. Are you there?
- You all right?
- Let's get the fuck out of here.
- Okay. Get the bag.
- We gotta get out of here.
Yeah, we're going.
We gotta move. We gotta move.
- What are you doing?
- Buying us some time.
- Shit.
- Jesus.
- Jesus Christ!
- Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Get the fuck out. I got this.
Come on, come on!
- Where are you going?
- No, no. She's here.
- Who?
- Lily. I saw her car in the parking lot.
- I thought she got fired.
- She's here somewhere.
I'm going this way.
Shit.
Help.
- Help! Help!
- Lily!
Ray?
- Help! I'm in here!
- Lily!
Fuck!
- Lily! Lily!
- Help me.
Help!
Lily!
Help!
Lily, look at me, look at me.
Move! Move baby, please!
Lily! Lily, Lily, just stay low.
Just stay low. I got you.
Just stay low. I got... Oh, shit!
Graham?
Graham! She's right there!
She's right there!
- Where is she?
- Graham, she's right there, man. Come on.
Graham, you got her.
Graham has got you. He's got you, Lily.
Stay low.
We hear you.
Help is on the way.
Graham, no! No!
There's some things
I gotta tell you.
They ain't easy to explain.
I want to say that the choices I made...
Lily!
...I made them for you. For your mom.
But I don't know if that's true.
Sometimes they went okay.
Sometimes...
No.
...they went real wrong.
Lily!
Help!
Help!
And I want to be done
making those kinds of choices.
But I don't know if I can.
I just don't know.
Maybe tomorrow it'll all be better.
Is Mama gonna be okay?
I don't know.
When can we see her?
I don't know.
Hi. Can I help you?
This is Detective Tony Barrelli.
Come on, squirrel.
Come on, let me zip you up.
Things...
Things may be different a little while.
What do you mean?
The world may not be as you expect.
People may not do as they should.
But...
I want you to stand up straight
and you, you make it right.
You see that woman down there?
Her name is Ava.
You're going to walk to her.
You're gonna do what she tells you.
And you keep walking.
You don't look back. No matter what.
But... But I want to stay with you.
I know, baby, but I need you
to walk on alone just for a little while.
And be brave?
Yeah.
Remember what we say about being brave?
Show me where you're brave.
Show me where you're strong.
Ray Vernon,
you have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney...
