1. Mom?
Copy !req
2. Right.
Copy !req
3. Jeez.
Copy !req
4. Hey, Chief.
Copy !req
5. - Thought we said 9:00.
Copy !req
6. Yeah.
Copy !req
7. But new chief showed up early.
Copy !req
8. Wants to gather the department
together first thing.
Copy !req
9. So, since the department
is you and me,
Copy !req
10. I figured
I'd come and get you.
Copy !req
11. - Ooh, is that coffee?
- Mmm.
Copy !req
12. Is that the box
you took from Ennis'?
Copy !req
13. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
14. Nathan at his dad's?
Copy !req
15. Hopefully.
Copy !req
16. Oh.
Copy !req
17. Do you think
this Thaddeus Mobley fella
Copy !req
18. had something to
do with the murder?
Copy !req
19. I should say so,
Copy !req
20. seeing as how Ennis Stussy
Copy !req
21. and this Thaddeus Mobley
are one and the same.
Copy !req
22. Come again?
Copy !req
23. How's it you're in
my kitchen again?
Copy !req
24. Oh, the chief...
Well, the new chief.
Copy !req
25. Oh, right. The department.
Copy !req
26. Well...
Copy !req
27. Let's go see
if I still have a job.
Copy !req
28. You going by
the autopsy later?
Copy !req
29. They glued
his nose and mouth shut.
Copy !req
30. Are we thinking cause of death
is somehow a cliffhanger?
Copy !req
31. Guess not.
Copy !req
32. Did you canvass the local?
Copy !req
33. Any reports of
strange customers?
Copy !req
34. Well, Earl at the Gas N Go
Copy !req
35. intimated he might
have had a weird one.
Copy !req
36. Weird how?
Copy !req
37. Uh, Ron? It's... Hello?
Copy !req
38. Hello.
- It's me.
Copy !req
39. Hello?
Copy !req
40. - Ron? Can you hear me?
- Is this you, Gloria?
Copy !req
41. I wanted to check on Nathan,
make sure he was getting...
Copy !req
42. Ah, I can't quite hear you.
Copy !req
43. - Ron, it's Gloria.
- Hello?
Copy !req
44. - Hold on, I'll call you...
- What's that?
Copy !req
45. Gosh.
Copy !req
46. Does yours do that?
Copy !req
47. Who?
Copy !req
48. Every time I make a call,
Copy !req
49. it's like
I'm in a silent movie.
Copy !req
50. Hold up, forgot my gun.
Copy !req
51. I'm here, right? You see me.
Copy !req
52. Is that a trick question?
Copy !req
53. "Keep it."
Copy !req
54. SY: That's what he said.
Copy !req
55. This V.M. Vargas?
Copy !req
56. Yes. And we should have...
Copy !req
57. At the time when
we needed the loan,
Copy !req
58. we should have come to you.
Copy !req
59. Any idea what the V.M.
stands for?
Copy !req
60. You borrowed
$1,000,000 from a man
Copy !req
61. without knowing
his first name.
Copy !req
62. - I know how it...
It's not a question.
Copy !req
63. I'm just assessing
the level of stupidity.
Copy !req
64. - Hey, hey.
- Irv, come on,
Copy !req
65. we don't have to...
Copy !req
66. You get a lot of
business from us.
Copy !req
67. Which, boychik,
will stop the moment
Copy !req
68. they arrest you
for money laundering.
Copy !req
69. At which time,
all your business
Copy !req
70. goes to a criminal attorney.
Copy !req
71. And might I recommend
Bruce Lipshits
Copy !req
72. in our Minneapolis office?
Copy !req
73. - We're not asking for...
- Irv, stop screwing around.
Copy !req
74. I need you to do some digging
on this guy, his outfit.
Copy !req
75. Now, we gave you his card
Copy !req
76. and the card
his reps gave to us last year.
Copy !req
77. You have the loan document,
Copy !req
78. on which is a phone number
and a mailing address.
Copy !req
79. There's also
a corporate ID number!
Copy !req
80. So unless you got
the brains of a monkey,
Copy !req
81. you should be able to friend
Copy !req
82. this cocksucker on Facebook,
and reel him in.
Copy !req
83. And then?
Copy !req
84. Then we get him to
take his money back
Copy !req
85. and forget he ever met us.
Copy !req
86. How's Stella?
Copy !req
87. Yeah, she's good.
Copy !req
88. You think I was
too hard on him?
Copy !req
89. Irv?
Copy !req
90. Ray.
Copy !req
91. At the anniversary party.
Copy !req
92. Look, he...
It's been a long time coming,
Copy !req
93. you saying no to him.
Copy !req
94. - Haven't I always...
- Nuh-nuh-nuh.
Copy !req
95. Like a Swiss watch.
Reliable. That's you.
Copy !req
96. - So he should have no...
- Yeah, but...
Copy !req
97. - Lookit, don't go...
Copy !req
98. We've been
friends a long time.
Copy !req
99. Don't go getting soft here.
Copy !req
100. We talked about this.
It's for his own good.
Copy !req
101. A man like that,
Copy !req
102. used to blaming
others for his...
Copy !req
103. Maybe I should just
give him the stamp.
Copy !req
104. To what end?
Copy !req
105. You think that'll fix it?
Copy !req
106. Next thing he's going
to want is interest.
Copy !req
107. It's envy, the green monster.
Copy !req
108. - Your brother's a loser.
- He's not a loser.
Copy !req
109. Well, he's doing
a pretty good imitation.
Copy !req
110. And you're the goddamn
Parking Lot King of Minnesota.
Copy !req
111. He doesn't want
the stamp, pal.
Copy !req
112. He wants your life.
Copy !req
113. Deb?
Copy !req
114. What's it doing?
Copy !req
115. You hit "Enter"?
Copy !req
116. What's "Enter"?
Copy !req
117. It's a...
Copy !req
118. Now what do I...
Copy !req
119. Wait!
Copy !req
120. What happened?
Copy !req
121. Did I...
Copy !req
122. What did I...
Copy !req
123. I don't know.
Copy !req
124. - It just went.
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
125. I'll check mine.
Copy !req
126. Mine's out, too.
Copy !req
127. Is it the power?
Copy !req
128. I mean, the lights are on.
Copy !req
129. I'll call the IT kid
that Shirley knows.
Copy !req
130. Zdraveyte,
as the Bulgarians say.
Copy !req
131. Pardon?
Copy !req
132. Ni hao is the Chinese.
Copy !req
133. The Corsicans use
the simple salut.
Copy !req
134. And guten Tag,
if German's your thing.
Copy !req
135. Is that... Are they with you?
Copy !req
136. Surmise.
Copy !req
137. What?
Copy !req
138. Because we arrived together,
we are together. Surmise.
Copy !req
139. - Well, are ya?
- Yes.
Copy !req
140. Can't park that here.
Copy !req
141. We got...
City's got an ordinance.
Copy !req
142. No, it's perfectly fine.
Copy !req
143. Mr. Stussy himself
gave me permission.
Copy !req
144. Who?
Copy !req
145. Your employer.
Copy !req
146. You do see the sign
above which you stand,
Copy !req
147. and how a man
with a keener sense of reason
Copy !req
148. might extrapolate a connection
Copy !req
149. with the name
I just mentioned.
Copy !req
150. Your boss.
Copy !req
151. - Look, mister...
- We're done here.
Copy !req
152. Okay then. Just... It's fine.
Copy !req
153. Like he said,
he's got permission.
Copy !req
154. No, I won't say
"from Mr. Stussy."
Copy !req
155. I'm not gonna create
Copy !req
156. the implication
of foreknowledge.
Copy !req
157. Of... Knowing before the fact.
Copy !req
158. They have permission.
They can park there.
Copy !req
159. Thanks.
Copy !req
160. Did you see this
bullshit in the paper?
Copy !req
161. Some old-timer
out in the country,
Copy !req
162. they push in his
front door, tie him up.
Copy !req
163. He runs a general store,
and some hopped-up junkie
Copy !req
164. thinks he takes
the register money home.
Copy !req
165. Ennis Stussy.
Copy !req
166. Eighty-two years old.
Copy !req
167. Not the Minnesota
I grew up in,
Copy !req
168. I'll tell you that.
Copy !req
169. It's a tragedy.
Copy !req
170. Do you need something?
Copy !req
171. Oh, uh... There's...
Copy !req
172. Maybe a problem, not sure yet.
Copy !req
173. Just, this Vargas fella...
Copy !req
174. I got a call
from the Oakbridge lot.
Copy !req
175. The raised one?
Copy !req
176. No. Ground lot,
under the highway.
Copy !req
177. - Doesn't get a lot of traffic.
- Right.
Copy !req
178. Why'd we buy that one again?
Copy !req
179. Sprawl-wise,
you thought it'd be
Copy !req
180. a good investment long-term.
Copy !req
181. Maybe turn it
into condos one day.
Copy !req
182. Right.
Copy !req
183. We should talk
to Stan Grossman about that.
Copy !req
184. Test the waters.
Copy !req
185. Yeah. I'll make a note.
Copy !req
186. Anyway, it seems there's
a big rig parked there now.
Copy !req
187. - In the lot?
- SY: Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
188. Well, that's against code.
Copy !req
189. Well, okay. There's that, too.
Copy !req
190. But more to the point,
what's in it?
Copy !req
191. And I'm a little troubled
by the escalation.
Copy !req
192. Money loaned is
one thing, but this?
Copy !req
193. A truck full of...
Copy !req
194. Well...
Copy !req
195. It could be anything.
Booze, guns...
Copy !req
196. The kind of demeanor
this fella has...
Copy !req
197. You think maybe it's...
Copy !req
198. I don't even
wanna say it out loud.
Copy !req
199. Slave girls?
Copy !req
200. What? No.
Copy !req
201. I was gonna say drugs.
You think it's slave girls?
Copy !req
202. No.
Copy !req
203. I mean, he's capable,
Copy !req
204. this Vargas fella,
don't you think?
Copy !req
205. Just from the one meeting.
Copy !req
206. We should probably
drive over there, take a look.
Copy !req
207. Or, and this is
the other way to go, not.
Copy !req
208. See, I'm thinking
about deniability.
Copy !req
209. What they call "plausible."
Copy !req
210. - 'Cause if we...
Copy !req
211. Look,
if Irv's right, and we...
Copy !req
212. Then we know.
Copy !req
213. Which, in a court of law...
Copy !req
214. Got it.
Copy !req
215. That's... You're...
Good thinking.
Copy !req
216. So, what do we...
Copy !req
217. I think we gotta wait
and see what Irv turns up.
Copy !req
218. Then, whatever dirt, we use
Copy !req
219. to extricate
ourselves overall.
Copy !req
220. This is
the problem right here.
Copy !req
221. It's not even
a proper police station.
Copy !req
222. Where do you keep prisoners?
Copy !req
223. There's a store room,
computer boxes, paper towels,
Copy !req
224. or we drive 'em
10 miles to Paynesville.
Copy !req
225. Wait, you said computer boxes.
Where are the computers?
Copy !req
226. They're in the boxes.
Chief doesn't like computers.
Copy !req
227. Well, old chief. Sorry, Chief.
Copy !req
228. Oh, you don't like them?
Copy !req
229. It's not that
I don't like them.
Copy !req
230. I don't like them,
but that's not...
Copy !req
231. The old way works just fine.
Copy !req
232. Type out a report,
send it via telex.
Copy !req
233. You do know
what year it is, right?
Copy !req
234. The future.
Copy !req
235. We don't use...
Who uses telexes anymore?
Copy !req
236. So that's why no one
ever writes me back.
Copy !req
237. The point is, if I need
a record search or priors run,
Copy !req
238. I just call Jerry at County.
Copy !req
239. Yeah, or Lou-Ann,
Copy !req
240. if Jerry's sick
or out or something.
Copy !req
241. I'm sorry to be
doing this today,
Copy !req
242. with the loss of
your father and all...
Copy !req
243. Stepfather.
Copy !req
244. But you need to
get with the program.
Copy !req
245. It's not the '50s anymore
Copy !req
246. where people
don't lock their front doors.
Copy !req
247. People don't lock
their front doors. Not here.
Copy !req
248. Although they might now,
after what happened to Ennis.
Copy !req
249. I'm just saying.
Copy !req
250. Chief...
Copy !req
251. As much as I want to hear
Copy !req
252. about this future
you've come from,
Copy !req
253. I got a potential
witness to interview
Copy !req
254. who may have seen our perp
gas up on his way out of town.
Copy !req
255. - So I'm gonna...
You know what?
Copy !req
256. I'm gonna go ahead and pretend
Copy !req
257. you didn't just
mouth off to me
Copy !req
258. like my teenage daughter.
Copy !req
259. And I'm gonna go ahead
Copy !req
260. and let you
brace your witness.
Copy !req
261. And then I'm gonna let you
take a few days off to grieve.
Copy !req
262. But this is a done deal.
Copy !req
263. You're being
absorbed by the county.
Copy !req
264. You work for me now.
Copy !req
265. So, when you get back,
Copy !req
266. you and the Chief, me,
Copy !req
267. are gonna have a long talk
Copy !req
268. about the way
things work around here.
Copy !req
269. I told Donny.
It was the Russians.
Copy !req
270. No. I think
he would've mentioned that.
Copy !req
271. This is Thursday night, yeah?
'Round 10:00 p.m.?
Copy !req
272. Why don't you start
from the beginning?
Copy !req
273. You know, it's whaddaya,
Thursday. I got the game on.
Copy !req
274. - Vikings?
- Gophers.
Copy !req
275. And it's one of those nights.
Copy !req
276. Miller, Miller Lite,
Copy !req
277. cigarettes, cigarettes,
motor oil.
Copy !req
278. And then some
twitchy kid comes in,
Copy !req
279. wants a case of
frozen orange juice
Copy !req
280. concentrate, which...
Copy !req
281. Is that...
Can you make meth from that?
Copy !req
282. Not last I heard.
Copy !req
283. Maybe just
a vitamin deficiency.
Copy !req
284. My point is,
Copy !req
285. I'm already primed for...
Copy !req
286. And then
this fella comes in...
Copy !req
287. - "Fella" singular?
- If singular means just one.
Copy !req
288. And he's looking for,
wants to know,
Copy !req
289. do I have a phone book?
Copy !req
290. And you're saying
this fella was Russian?
Copy !req
291. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
292. From, like, an accent, or...
Copy !req
293. Well, now,
I can't rightly say.
Copy !req
294. Maybe he told me.
Copy !req
295. Well, like I said,
I got the Gophers on.
Copy !req
296. But it's strong,
how I remember him.
Copy !req
297. So, I showed him
where the book was,
Copy !req
298. keep it on a chain.
Copy !req
299. Why do you keep
your phone book on a chain?
Copy !req
300. Well, remember in the '70s?
Copy !req
301. People used to steal 'em.
Copy !req
302. Anyhoo,
he looks through it, and then
Copy !req
303. just tears a page out.
Copy !req
304. Which, it's a public book,
which... Meant for everyone.
Copy !req
305. So, I raise a ruckus.
Copy !req
306. Can I see it?
Copy !req
307. - Hey!
- Gotta take this as evidence.
Copy !req
308. Evidence of what?
Copy !req
309. Well, fella stopped in here,
Copy !req
310. used your phone book,
tore out the page
Copy !req
311. with Ennis' information on it.
Copy !req
312. Shortly thereafter,
Ennis is asphyxiated.
Copy !req
313. So, I'd say,
evidence he was looking for
Copy !req
314. Ennis' house but
didn't know the address.
Copy !req
315. "And in time of great joy,
Copy !req
316. "they had meat
and fowl and grain.
Copy !req
317. "And in time of sorrow,
they ate tears."
Copy !req
318. - Hey.
- See the game?
Copy !req
319. Not really.
Can I use your computer?
Copy !req
320. - What happened to yours?
- Vermin.
Copy !req
321. You still got that
con with the rack?
Copy !req
322. The what's that, now?
Copy !req
323. The brunette with
the nutcracker caboose?
Copy !req
324. I'm saying
her back end's so fit,
Copy !req
325. she could
probably crack a walnut.
Copy !req
326. - Swango.
- Right.
Copy !req
327. Her swango.
Copy !req
328. No, that's her name.
Nikki Swango.
Copy !req
329. Well, whatever she calls it,
Copy !req
330. I'd like to butter that bread.
Copy !req
331. Look, I got a...
One of my cons
Copy !req
332. blew his piss test,
Maurice LeFay.
Copy !req
333. What is he, Cajun?
Copy !req
334. No, he's from Wabasso,
I think.
Copy !req
335. Anyway,
he's MIA for his 9:00 a.m.,
Copy !req
336. and my thinking is
he likely flew the coop.
Copy !req
337. Saw the writing on the wall,
if you know what I mean.
Copy !req
338. So, issue a BOLO.
Copy !req
339. Jesus. You need me
to wipe your ass, too?
Copy !req
340. No. I'll do that.
Copy !req
341. Burt Lurdsman.
Copy !req
342. - What?
Is the name.
Copy !req
343. His name.
The sponsor I told you about.
Copy !req
344. Potential.
I'm trying to visualize.
Copy !req
345. I...
They've got it listed as...
Copy !req
346. The initial report,
as accidental.
Copy !req
347. Maurice.
Copy !req
348. His cause of death,
Copy !req
349. misadventure
by major appliance.
Copy !req
350. Which is...
That's good, right?
Copy !req
351. He's in vacuum cleaners.
Copy !req
352. Invented some
kind of, whaddaya,
Copy !req
353. filter out of Bismarck.
Copy !req
354. And he's looking
for a new team.
Copy !req
355. Babe, we gotta...
I need you to focus.
Copy !req
356. We're not...
Copy !req
357. We dropped a 200-pound
AC on an ex-con,
Copy !req
358. and, yeah, it looks like
the cover-up's working,
Copy !req
359. but there's a long way to go
Copy !req
360. before we're out
of the woods here.
Copy !req
361. Ow!
Copy !req
362. What the heck?
Copy !req
363. There's something
wrong with your chi.
Copy !req
364. The what's that?
Copy !req
365. Like, your energy flow.
Copy !req
366. You're all blocked up, babe.
We can't have that.
Copy !req
367. Well, I've...
Copy !req
368. I never killed anybody before.
Copy !req
369. Well, me either.
Copy !req
370. Life's a journey, you know?
Copy !req
371. I gotta be honest.
I got some remorse.
Copy !req
372. 'Course you do.
Copy !req
373. You're not a heartless killer.
Copy !req
374. You got the soul of a poet.
Copy !req
375. I do?
Copy !req
376. You bet.
Copy !req
377. You're my honey bear.
Copy !req
378. What if they catch us?
Copy !req
379. You know what happens
Copy !req
380. to ex-law enforcement
in the clink?
Copy !req
381. They're not gonna catch us.
Copy !req
382. Like you said,
it was an accident.
Copy !req
383. Plus,
we'll be out of here today.
Copy !req
384. I gave a fake ID to the cops.
Copy !req
385. The apartment's rented
under an assumed name.
Copy !req
386. Anybody thinks to follow up,
and it's just a dead end.
Copy !req
387. What about the fella
that Maurice killed?
Copy !req
388. The other Stussy?
Copy !req
389. Wasn't he really old?
Copy !req
390. So?
Copy !req
391. Hon, they don't
look at those cases
Copy !req
392. as close as the young ones.
Copy !req
393. - I don't think that's...
- It's just common sense.
Copy !req
394. What with them being so close
to the grave and all.
Copy !req
395. Besides, you said yourself,
he messed up, your man,
Copy !req
396. killed some random
geriatric in the sticks
Copy !req
397. who happened to
have the surname.
Copy !req
398. So, even if they
wanted to solve it,
Copy !req
399. the police,
Copy !req
400. what possible solve is there,
besides
Copy !req
401. unfathomable pinheadery?
Copy !req
402. You've thought of everything.
Copy !req
403. That's us. Thought and action.
Copy !req
404. The next Burt Lurdsman
Grand National Champions.
Copy !req
405. Don't get any ideas, mister.
I'm on my period.
Copy !req
406. Just remember,
Copy !req
407. when the BOLO for Maurice
turns up a dead body,
Copy !req
408. you write "Case Closed,"
and file
Copy !req
409. the papers at
the dead-letter office.
Copy !req
410. Scotty's right. You got a real
nutcracker back there.
Copy !req
411. - Who?
- My boss.
Copy !req
412. We were talking, and...
Copy !req
413. You were talking about my ass
with your boss?
Copy !req
414. No.
Copy !req
415. He just...
I was using his computer
Copy !req
416. on account of vermin
ate through my cord,
Copy !req
417. and he just...
Copy !req
418. He asked if I still had you
as a con, and I said...
Copy !req
419. I hate that word,
"con."
Copy !req
420. It's so negative.
Copy !req
421. We weren't talking
about your ass, hon.
Copy !req
422. I don't know
what I was thinking.
Copy !req
423. We're never gonna
land Burt Lurdsman
Copy !req
424. with your chi all
blocked up like this.
Copy !req
425. Well, okay,
how do I unblock it?
Copy !req
426. We gotta find some sort of
psychic Drano, or...
Copy !req
427. You know what it is,
don't you?
Copy !req
428. The blockage?
Copy !req
429. It's your stupid brother.
Copy !req
430. The history between you two
and how it made you go crazy,
Copy !req
431. and hire a doofus to
break into his house.
Copy !req
432. Hey, hon, I didn't hire him,
I was blackmailing him.
Copy !req
433. My point is,
Copy !req
434. this is a blood feud.
Copy !req
435. We can't be
fightin' a blood feud while
Copy !req
436. we're trying to land
a big-time sponsor.
Copy !req
437. We're just gonna
have to do it ourselves.
Copy !req
438. - Do?
- The stamp.
Copy !req
439. Get the stamp back.
Copy !req
440. Now, hon...
Copy !req
441. Well, it's either that,
or make peace with him.
Copy !req
442. Are you willing to do that?
Copy !req
443. Forgive and forget?
Copy !req
444. Bygones?
Copy !req
445. Who died?
Copy !req
446. When?
Copy !req
447. It's 10:30!
Copy !req
448. Shit. Did I wake you...
Copy !req
449. No. It's fine.
Copy !req
450. Stella's sleeping, though,
so let's talk over there.
Copy !req
451. I should've called.
Copy !req
452. Nah, it's...
Copy !req
453. Ray?
Copy !req
454. Oh.
Copy !req
455. Sometimes when you do
a piss test, they...
Copy !req
456. Why not just put on
both the other pair?
Copy !req
457. Well, it happens a lot.
Copy !req
458. Basically, this is now my only
non-micturated footwear.
Copy !req
459. It's late, Ray.
Copy !req
460. It's 10:30.
Copy !req
461. Fine.
Copy !req
462. I felt bad about
how we left things, you know,
Copy !req
463. the thing between us,
and always fighting.
Copy !req
464. Me, too. I felt bad, too.
Copy !req
465. And now, you know,
my chi's all backed up,
Copy !req
466. Nikki says.
Copy !req
467. And I know it's late,
but I thought
Copy !req
468. I'd come out here and say
Copy !req
469. I want to make up.
Copy !req
470. Bury the hatchet, you know,
Copy !req
471. put the past behind us,
bygones.
Copy !req
472. Well, I can't believe
you're saying this, kid,
Copy !req
473. after all...
Copy !req
474. Let me finish.
It's not, you know, easy.
Copy !req
475. You've done good here,
real good.
Copy !req
476. With Stella,
and the business...
Copy !req
477. And I just wanna say,
I'm proud of you,
Copy !req
478. and you don't owe me anything.
Copy !req
479. Well, I gotta say,
it's a huge relief.
Copy !req
480. With the week I'm having,
and after all these years.
Copy !req
481. Me, too.
Copy !req
482. Get home safe.
Copy !req
483. Ugh.
Copy !req
484. Irving.
Copy !req
485. Do I know you?
Copy !req
486. It's Yuri,
back from the old country.
Copy !req
487. Da...
Copy !req
488. Am I not right?
Copy !req
489. You grew up in Ukraine.
Copy !req
490. No.
Copy !req
491. My bubbe, her people...
Copy !req
492. You know,
you hear the old stories,
Copy !req
493. how she fled from the Cossacks
in the middle of the night.
Copy !req
494. Five years old.
Copy !req
495. The men on horseback.
Copy !req
496. That is me.
Copy !req
497. - I'm sorry?
- Cossack.
Copy !req
498. When I saw your name...
Copy !req
499. You searched
for Mr. Vargas, yes?
Copy !req
500. I thought,
I know these Blumkins.
Copy !req
501. We rode them down like animals
back in old days,
Copy !req
502. raped their women,
ate their babies.
Copy !req
503. Did you get it?
Copy !req
504. Now, before
you have a feeling,
Copy !req
505. let's just both agree,
Copy !req
506. this is gonna be a process.
Copy !req
507. What are you...
Copy !req
508. He's a worthy
opponent, I'll give him that.
Copy !req
509. Not only does he
hide the trump card,
Copy !req
510. he rubs our faces
in it with a burro.
Copy !req
511. I bet he was all
sweetness and cream
Copy !req
512. when you talked to him.
Copy !req
513. Well, actually, you know what?
Copy !req
514. It felt kind of good.
Copy !req
515. We really... We talked,
and I think we got past it.
Copy !req
516. Oh.
Copy !req
517. What do you...
Copy !req
518. No. Just...
Copy !req
519. No, you didn't...
I mean, no trace, right?
Copy !req
520. In and out. That's what we...
Copy !req
521. - Well...
- No. Come on.
Copy !req
522. Look at me.
It's clear now, I'm clear.
Copy !req
523. My chi, I can feel it.
Copy !req
524. And I did what you said.
Copy !req
525. We put it behind us.
Bygones. So...
Copy !req
526. Okay, to be fair,
Copy !req
527. that wasn't the plan.
Copy !req
528. You were supposed to...
Copy !req
529. While I broke in,
you would pretend to...
Copy !req
530. And you didn't see it, Ray.
Copy !req
531. He moved the stamp,
your brother.
Copy !req
532. He didn't trust you.
Copy !req
533. So he hung up, in its place...
Copy !req
534. If you saw what he hung up...
Copy !req
535. A donkey is what.
Copy !req
536. So, you see the symbolism.
Copy !req
537. Oh, he's good.
Copy !req
538. It's like I said,
Copy !req
539. he's got the physical
and the mental game.
Copy !req
540. Well, he may
have won this round,
Copy !req
541. - but two can play at that...
Copy !req
542. We should... You should drive.
Copy !req
543. - Why?
- Just go.
Copy !req
544. - I don't...
- It's a message.
Copy !req
545. He sucker-punched me, Ray.
You were right.
Copy !req
546. Kept me talking
in the driveway
Copy !req
547. while the shifty fiancee
breaks in
Copy !req
548. looking for the stamp.
Copy !req
549. SY: Where's the stamp?
Copy !req
550. The cleaning lady
broke the frame,
Copy !req
551. so I'm getting it fixed.
But he doesn't know that.
Copy !req
552. So they concoct
this genius strategy.
Copy !req
553. I should've seen it.
Copy !req
554. All these years, and suddenly
he gets a conscience?
Copy !req
555. I don't think so.
Copy !req
556. Why a tampon, though?
Copy !req
557. - Not that it...
- I'll tell you what, boy.
Copy !req
558. The gloves are off now.
Copy !req
559. He is D-O-N-E, done.
Copy !req
560. Like I said, it's about time.
Copy !req
561. And so,
here's what's gonna happen.
Copy !req
562. I'm gonna step in
and make this problem go away.
Copy !req
563. - Don't... I mean...
- I won't.
Copy !req
564. Just give him
the lay of the land.
Copy !req
565. He's dead to you.
Copy !req
566. To us.
Copy !req
567. We see your
brother again, he calls,
Copy !req
568. we go straight to the cops.
Rat him out to the city.
Copy !req
569. Dating a parolee.
Her parole officer.
Copy !req
570. There's gotta be
a law against that.
Copy !req
571. So, believe you me,
he'll scare.
Copy !req
572. That will be the end of that.
Copy !req
573. Hello?
Copy !req
574. Yeah?
Copy !req
575. Okay, Deb.
Copy !req
576. Thanks for calling.
Copy !req
577. What's...
Copy !req
578. Irv.
Copy !req
579. He jumped off the garage.
Copy !req
580. It's a tragedy.
Copy !req
581. It is.
Copy !req
582. He was 82.
Copy !req
583. So, a good life.
Copy !req
584. Did you know him?
- I did.
Copy !req
585. A horrible man.
Copy !req
586. Have you notified
his next of kin?
Copy !req
587. We are his next of kin.
Copy !req
588. Of course. I meant
Copy !req
589. any other family
that he might have had,
Copy !req
590. outside of Minnesota.
Copy !req
591. I know he wasn't
from around here.
Copy !req
592. It's kind of,
to be honest, a mystery.
Copy !req
593. I mean,
as far as I can figure,
Copy !req
594. Ennis moved to
Eden Valley in 1980.
Copy !req
595. Married my mom in '82.
I was six.
Copy !req
596. And they were only together
for four years.
Copy !req
597. So, I mean, honestly,
we're not even family, really,
Copy !req
598. but I thought
Nathan should have
Copy !req
599. the influence of
a male elder in his life,
Copy !req
600. seeing as how his dad left.
Copy !req
601. You should ask
your mother, perhaps.
Copy !req
602. I would, except she's dead.
Copy !req
603. Of course. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
604. She's in the 21-J in ash.
Copy !req
605. So, if you know of any friends
Ennis may have had, or...
Copy !req
606. He didn't talk much.
Copy !req
607. Except to curse.
Copy !req
608. I think he may have
changed his name
Copy !req
609. before he moved here.
Copy !req
610. Did you ever hear
of Thaddeus Mobley
Copy !req
611. out of Los Angeles?
Copy !req
612. No, I'm afraid not.
Copy !req
613. Shall we choose a vessel?
Copy !req
614. No, I'm not...
Copy !req
615. Here's a tune.
Copy !req
616. It's called A Christmas Song.
Copy !req
617. Looks like it's
destined to become
Copy !req
618. one of the Yuletide season's
genuine standards.
Copy !req
619. There's a problem.
Copy !req
620. Is it you?
Copy !req
621. No, Ray.
Copy !req
622. It's you.
Copy !req
623. You and your
disgusting girlfriend.
Copy !req
624. Hey, now.
Copy !req
625. Sorry. Fiancee.
Copy !req
626. Look, there was, you know,
some mixed signals last night,
Copy !req
627. but I'm gonna call Emmit...
Copy !req
628. No. You're not.
Copy !req
629. In fact, you and Emmit
will never speak again.
Copy !req
630. Don't be, you know, dramatic.
Copy !req
631. Oh, I'm serious.
Copy !req
632. This is non-negotiable
after the stunt you pulled.
Copy !req
633. Feminine hygiene
deployed as a weapon.
Copy !req
634. I don't know what you're...
Copy !req
635. Are you listening to me?
Copy !req
636. You wanna watch your tone
when you talk to me,
Copy !req
637. errand boy.
Copy !req
638. - My tone?
- Your tone.
Copy !req
639. - My tone.
- Yeah, your...
Copy !req
640. This is between
me and my brother.
Copy !req
641. Never gonna happen.
Copy !req
642. Oh, yeah,
it's gonna happen all right.
Copy !req
643. SY: You see that?
Copy !req
644. That's the last dime
you're ever gonna see
Copy !req
645. from the Parking Lot King
of Minnesota.
Copy !req
646. Yeah? Well, I got
something to show you, too.
Copy !req
647. Oh! What the shit?
Copy !req
648. Oh!
Copy !req
649. SY: Oh, jeez!
Copy !req
650. My car!
Copy !req
651. Look what that animal
did to my car!
Copy !req
652. Madeline,
call my wife, will ya?
Copy !req
653. Madeline?
Copy !req
654. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
655. I didn't realize
Mr. Stussy was expecting you.
Copy !req
656. - Mr. Stussy...
- It's okay, Madeline,
Copy !req
657. I got it.
Copy !req
658. What can we do
for you, friend?
Copy !req
659. Mr. Stussy,
what a day. What a day.
Copy !req
660. I was hoping to show the boys
their new office.
Copy !req
661. Their...
Copy !req
662. It's this way,
if I'm not mistaken.
Copy !req
663. Call Sy.
Copy !req
664. Uh, we don't...
Copy !req
665. - We're pretty full right now.
- No, no, no.
Copy !req
666. It says on the blueprints
Copy !req
667. there's an entire wing
you've just rented.
Copy !req
668. Expanding, are we?
Copy !req
669. Well, that...
We acquired some new lots.
Copy !req
670. Yeah, and who have you got
to thank for that, eh?
Copy !req
671. There we go. Perfect!
Copy !req
672. This is not...
You can't just...
Copy !req
673. Stop! Look...
Copy !req
674. Come on!
Copy !req
675. Stop!
Copy !req
676. We have rights.
Copy !req
677. Emmit. Emmit.
Copy !req
678. You're making a scene,
all right?
Copy !req
679. Now,
let's talk in your office.
Copy !req
680. - What's...
- They just...
Copy !req
681. I'm sorry, Mr. Feltz,
they just pushed their way in.
Copy !req
682. Oh, good. They're here.
Copy !req
683. Uh, nothing to worry about,
Madeline.
Copy !req
684. Remember how I said
we were expanding
Copy !req
685. our IT department?
Copy !req
686. No.
Copy !req
687. Well, we are. So...
Copy !req
688. Sorry, I was
dealin' with the...
Copy !req
689. What?
Copy !req
690. Your...
Copy !req
691. Did I tell you
what I like about this place,
Copy !req
692. Minnesota?
Copy !req
693. It's so perfectly,
sublimely bland.
Copy !req
694. Have you been to the Danube?
Or Gansu?
Copy !req
695. And the African continent...
Forget it.
Copy !req
696. North and south. Anarchy.
Copy !req
697. And, yes, you can still find
some relative stability
Copy !req
698. in the brutal nation states,
North Korea...
Copy !req
699. Putin's done some great things
with Russia.
Copy !req
700. You just have to know
which palms to grease.
Copy !req
701. But one wearies
of the constant
Copy !req
702. remunerations and
the petty shakedowns...
Copy !req
703. Meet the new boss,
same as the old boss.
Copy !req
704. Am I right?
Copy !req
705. Mr. Vargas?
Copy !req
706. Please, Sy...
Copy !req
707. Call me V.M.
Copy !req
708. Eh?
Copy !req
709. We're partners now.
Copy !req
710. We are not partners.
Copy !req
711. That... This...
Copy !req
712. - You lent us some...
- Capital.
Copy !req
713. Which we've told you,
Copy !req
714. we're happy to pay back
with interest.
Copy !req
715. You see, that's the problem
with you Americans.
Copy !req
716. You watch too many movies,
and you think
Copy !req
717. the deal can always
be changed, and it can't.
Copy !req
718. We're partners now,
and that's all there is to it.
Copy !req
719. So, you might as
well just lie back,
Copy !req
720. as they say,
and enjoy yourselves.
Copy !req
721. Let me tell you what it is
that attracts me
Copy !req
722. to the parking lot business,
yours in particular.
Copy !req
723. It's three things.
Copy !req
724. It runs on cash.
Copy !req
725. You don't use technology.
Copy !req
726. And that makes your income
impossible to verify.
Copy !req
727. 'Cause who's to
say how many cars
Copy !req
728. parked in which spots
and for how long?
Copy !req
729. Mr. Vargas, V.M., if I may...
Copy !req
730. We show, in our books...
Copy !req
731. We show a very consistent,
very steady,
Copy !req
732. predictable income
Copy !req
733. from lot to lot,
Copy !req
734. consistent with
several urban volume factors.
Copy !req
735. And if you start
goosing those numbers...
Copy !req
736. Well,
so we buy more lots.
Copy !req
737. Maybe branch out,
start developing
Copy !req
738. some multi-function commercial
and residential properties,
Copy !req
739. a new stadium, perhaps.
Copy !req
740. There.
Copy !req
741. There you go.
Now you're seeing it.
Copy !req
742. The inescapable reality.
Copy !req
743. You're trapped.
Copy !req
744. Don't look so sad.
Copy !req
745. By the time we're done,
you'll be billionaires.
Copy !req
746. On paper, at least.
Copy !req
747. Good. Well,
that's that out of the way.
Copy !req
748. Now, you may not see
much of me
Copy !req
749. for a couple of days,
Copy !req
750. brutal nation states and all,
Copy !req
751. but Yuri and Meemo
will be here
Copy !req
752. to make sure
everything runs smoothly.
Copy !req
753. And, oh, yes,
condolences on your attorney.
Copy !req
754. What makes it so tragic
is how avoidable it was.
Copy !req
755. But you understand,
Copy !req
756. I can't have people out there
investigating things.
Copy !req
