1. Each character in this tale
Copy !req
2. is going to be represented
Copy !req
3. by a different instrument
of the orchestra.
Copy !req
4. For instance, the bird will be
played by the flute,
Copy !req
5. like this.
Copy !req
6. Here's
the duck, played by the oboe.
Copy !req
7. The cat, by the clarinet.
Copy !req
8. The bassoon
will represent Grandfather.
Copy !req
9. The blast of the
hunter's shotguns,
Copy !req
10. played by the kettledrums.
Copy !req
11. The wolf, by the French horns.
Copy !req
12. And Peter, by the strings.
Copy !req
13. Are you sitting comfortably?
Copy !req
14. Good. Then I'll begin.
Copy !req
15. Okay.
Copy !req
16. It's a safe deposit box.
Copy !req
17. Number 1606.
Copy !req
18. My guess,
they stashed the stamp there.
Copy !req
19. What about the key?
Wouldn't I need the...
Copy !req
20. Lost when you redecorated
the study, tell him.
Copy !req
21. Oh.
Copy !req
22. Don't forget. Got that meeting
with the high roller later.
Copy !req
23. Burt Lurdsman,
plumbing supplies.
Copy !req
24. I really feel like this is it.
Copy !req
25. Our ship coming in.
Copy !req
26. Remember.
Copy !req
27. Richest guy in the room
is always the boss.
Copy !req
28. Welcome to
Capley Bank and Trust.
Copy !req
29. You picking up
or dropping off?
Copy !req
30. What?
Copy !req
31. Oh, I'm just playing.
Copy !req
32. You wanna make a withdrawal
or a deposit?
Copy !req
33. Oh!
Copy !req
34. - I... I, uh...
- Oh.
Copy !req
35. It's okay, Milly. I got this.
Copy !req
36. Sorry about that, ES.
Copy !req
37. Milly just moved
down from Bemidji.
Copy !req
38. You've got to learn the faces,
huh.
Copy !req
39. - Sorry.
Copy !req
40. No, that's...
Copy !req
41. Everybody has a first day.
Copy !req
42. Would you get
the man a cream soda,
Copy !req
43. for shit's sakes? Jeez!
Copy !req
44. Thanks again for
those Gopher seats.
Copy !req
45. Ham was tickled pink.
Copy !req
46. My sister's boy. You remember?
Copy !req
47. Oh, yeah. Yeah, of course.
Copy !req
48. I, uh...
Copy !req
49. You know, I don't
got a lot of time here.
Copy !req
50. Oh, should be back in a snap,
Milly. Uh...
Copy !req
51. More in the "nice to look at"
category than, say, brainiac.
Copy !req
52. I was hoping
to get into my box.
Copy !req
53. You've been working out, yes?
Copy !req
54. You seem bulked up.
Been hitting the weight room?
Copy !req
55. I, uh...
Hitting the buffet, more like.
Copy !req
56. What with the wedding and all.
Copy !req
57. Oh, I hear you. All that
cake tasting.
Copy !req
58. I am so sorry, Mr. Stussy.
Copy !req
59. No, that's...
Copy !req
60. You're fine.
Copy !req
61. Let the man breathe, girl.
Copy !req
62. Uh...
Copy !req
63. I lost the key,
is the thing, to my box.
Copy !req
64. Redecorating, thrown out with
the old credenza, you know.
Copy !req
65. Is that gonna be...
Copy !req
66. 'Cause what's in there,
I really need,
you know, today.
Copy !req
67. Well...
Copy !req
68. Uh...
Copy !req
69. Hate to be a stickler, ES,
but, uh, without the key,
Copy !req
70. well, we, uh...
Copy !req
71. No, I, uh... I...
Copy !req
72. We have to drill
the lock and, uh...
Copy !req
73. I get it.
Makes sense.
Copy !req
74. What we should do
is order a new key.
Copy !req
75. Won't take more than a week,
and that way, you know,
Copy !req
76. order's maintained.
Copy !req
77. You understand.
Copy !req
78. You know what?
Copy !req
79. Forget it.
Copy !req
80. Just go ahead and
pack up all my accounts.
Copy !req
81. I'll take a check if you don't
have that much cash on hand.
Copy !req
82. Now, Emmit,
there's no need to...
Copy !req
83. No, it's fine. I understand.
Copy !req
84. You don't want to help me.
Copy !req
85. A lost key like it's some kind
of national tragedy,
Copy !req
86. but you got your order.
Copy !req
87. Rules and the like,
Copy !req
88. so I'll find a bank maybe
puts the customer first.
Copy !req
89. Call Mike.
Copy !req
90. Hold on a sec, ES. We're...
Copy !req
91. You know what?
We'll just drill that sucker.
Copy !req
92. No problemo. It'll take two
seconds and then you can...
Copy !req
93. Whatever you need. Just fetch
whatever's in there.
Copy !req
94. Not that I know
or need to know what's...
Copy !req
95. So I don't have to carry
my accounts over to Chase?
Copy !req
96. Chase? That's, uh...
Copy !req
97. You're such a kidder.
Copy !req
98. You really had me
going there for...
Copy !req
99. Let me just get my keys.
Copy !req
100. While you're at it,
I'll take 10 grand in hundreds
Copy !req
101. and a buck in quarters
for the meter.
Copy !req
102. That's, uh... Well, of course.
Copy !req
103. You'll just have
to fill out a...
Copy !req
104. Or, you know what?
Copy !req
105. I'll get the paperwork
handled myself.
Copy !req
106. Although, ES,
may I suggest, um,
Copy !req
107. well, it's just that
whenever you take out
Copy !req
108. anything more than $10,000,
Copy !req
109. it automatically triggers a...
Copy !req
110. Buck,
Copy !req
111. if I wanted an opinion from
an asshole, I'd ask my own.
Copy !req
112. Got it?
Copy !req
113. Well, don't keep me
in suspense.
Copy !req
114. The stamp wasn't there,
but I got this.
Copy !req
115. Christmas.
Copy !req
116. How much did he have,
his account?
Copy !req
117. I don't know.
Uh, maybe $1 million.
Copy !req
118. Your brother has $1 million,
and you took,
Copy !req
119. what is that, 10 grand?
Copy !req
120. Now, see, that's the criminal
mentality, your old life.
Copy !req
121. And what do you...
Hardwired patterns.
Copy !req
122. But we're not crooks.
Copy !req
123. This is the principal,
Copy !req
124. what's right,
fair market value for the...
Copy !req
125. What he took, the stamp.
Copy !req
126. Who's Luverne?
Copy !req
127. He did what?
Copy !req
128. Oh, believe me,
I'm pretty ticked myself.
Copy !req
129. I loved that dog.
Copy !req
130. Plus the money, of course.
Copy !req
131. Christ on a stick,
you think you know a guy.
Copy !req
132. I mean, used
feminine hygiene products
Copy !req
133. in a man's desk drawer
is one thing,
Copy !req
134. but now,
Copy !req
135. the ridicule of
beloved remains.
Copy !req
136. "Cremains" is the, I think,
preferred nomenclature.
Copy !req
137. This is
the last thing we need.
Copy !req
138. What with this Varga mess
Copy !req
139. and poor Irv
not even being cold yet.
Copy !req
140. See and that's, uh...
Copy !req
141. I was gonna talk
to you about that.
Copy !req
142. Suicide is what
the authorities...
Copy !req
143. The conversation I had.
Copy !req
144. Old folks get depressed around
the holidays and all that,
Copy !req
145. but I don't know.
Copy !req
146. Character like this Varga,
Copy !req
147. I'm just saying, you can't put
anything past him.
Copy !req
148. Christ.
Copy !req
149. What are we in the middle of?
Copy !req
150. We ought to consider
meeting this widow Goldfarb.
Copy !req
151. Sell the company?
Copy !req
152. - That's a little...
- No, no, not sell.
Copy !req
153. Just, I'm saying,
take the meeting.
Copy !req
154. Buck says she's cash-rich
and looking to buy in.
Copy !req
155. And it feels like
we're getting pulled
Copy !req
156. into something
sticky here, so...
Copy !req
157. Yeah.
Yeah, that's good thinking.
Copy !req
158. What the shit are they up to?
Copy !req
159. When Putin was a boy,
Copy !req
160. he already knew
he wanted to be FSB.
Copy !req
161. He lived in the well,
Copy !req
162. kept a photo of Bergin
by his bed.
Copy !req
163. Bergin,
who squats in 1920 dirt,
Copy !req
164. gives birth of GRU, later KGB.
Copy !req
165. Godfather.
Copy !req
166. And this boy, Putin,
he learns sambo,
Copy !req
167. rules the yard school
by his fist.
Copy !req
168. You see, in Russia,
there are two words for truth.
Copy !req
169. Pravda is man's truth.
Copy !req
170. Istina is God's truth.
Copy !req
171. But there is also nepravda,
untruth.
Copy !req
172. And this is the weapon
the leader uses.
Copy !req
173. Because he knows
what they don't.
Copy !req
174. The truth is
whatever he says it is.
Copy !req
175. I don't get what's
so complicated here.
Copy !req
176. You take a born loser,
add a drug addiction,
Copy !req
177. remove a job,
fill his pockets with holes,
Copy !req
178. mix in cold turkey,
Copy !req
179. you think this guy
isn't gonna drive around
Copy !req
180. randomly looking
for someone to rob?
Copy !req
181. Yeah.
Copy !req
182. But then why tear a page
out of the phonebook?
Copy !req
183. Choose a house?
Doesn't that imply that...
Copy !req
184. There you go.
Copy !req
185. Using
three-syllable words again
Copy !req
186. for a one-syllable problem.
Copy !req
187. First, that's
a two-syllable word...
Copy !req
188. Let me tell you
what I saw in Fallujah.
Copy !req
189. Men, okay?
Copy !req
190. My men laying in the dirt with
their guts in their boots.
Copy !req
191. How does that...
Copy !req
192. With all respect...
Copy !req
193. You know what an IED is?
Copy !req
194. It's like car parts
and dynamite.
Copy !req
195. You either run one over,
or you don't.
Copy !req
196. That's it, see? It's random.
Copy !req
197. Or bombs in
our American streets.
Copy !req
198. Who gets killed?
Copy !req
199. Will you decide to walk
your dog that morning
Copy !req
200. or mow the lawn?
Copy !req
201. Your problem is
you're overcomplicating this.
Copy !req
202. Books under the floorboards,
Copy !req
203. an unapproved trip
to goddamn Hollywood.
Copy !req
204. Told you.
I'm paying for that myself.
Copy !req
205. Not the point.
Copy !req
206. Not the...
Copy !req
207. Look, I get it's personal,
this one.
Copy !req
208. But we're talking
simple wrong place,
Copy !req
209. wrong time.
Copy !req
210. A hopper with
an itch on a spree
Copy !req
211. who met the business end
of a Maytag.
Copy !req
212. Cosmic justice, good riddance.
Copy !req
213. So what do you say
Copy !req
214. we stamp this file
"Case closed,"
Copy !req
215. move on to the calm and
orderly transition of power.
Copy !req
216. Sheriff, I hear you.
Copy !req
217. I do.
Copy !req
218. I'm not trying
to stir things up.
Copy !req
219. No, I think you are.
Copy !req
220. I think you got resentments
over being made to cow,
Copy !req
221. kiss the ring.
Copy !req
222. I had boys like you
in the service.
Copy !req
223. I'd tell them to go right,
they go left.
Copy !req
224. All of them, to a man,
Copy !req
225. went home in a bag.
Copy !req
226. Well, I'm home already,
Copy !req
227. so I'm gonna spend
a few more days on this one,
Copy !req
228. see how it goes.
Copy !req
229. Hi.
Copy !req
230. I need the parole officer
for Maurice LeFay.
Copy !req
231. Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
232. That'd be Ray.
Copy !req
233. He's in with a felon
at present.
Copy !req
234. - Point me to the ladies.
- Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
235. Oh, Lord.
Copy !req
236. My Lord.
Copy !req
237. Come on already.
Copy !req
238. You wouldn't...
Copy !req
239. Friend.
Copy !req
240. You wouldn't have
a putter-inner by chance?
Copy !req
241. How's that?
Copy !req
242. Or a pad?
Copy !req
243. This is not the way
things were supposed to go,
Copy !req
244. but the Lord must have...
Not to get...
Copy !req
245. Anyway,
if you could find your way
Copy !req
246. clear to abetting
a sister in need,
Copy !req
247. one who is
supposed to be with child,
Copy !req
248. but apparently is not...
Copy !req
249. Uh, sorry, I don't have...
Copy !req
250. Regulations, you know.
Copy !req
251. We're not meant to
carry a purse, and I'm...
Copy !req
252. It's not my time of the...
Copy !req
253. I could ask the clerk.
She might have...
Copy !req
254. Oh, no, don't burden yourself.
Copy !req
255. Well, what are the odds?
Copy !req
256. - Second female in uniform.
Copy !req
257. You said regulation,
and I assumed...
Copy !req
258. Winnie Lopez,
Saint Cloud Metro.
Copy !req
259. Uh, Gloria Burgle,
Eden Valley Police.
Copy !req
260. Oh, and chief to boot.
Copy !req
261. Uh, for the moment, anyway.
Copy !req
262. Sorry, I got about 100 pounds
of TP crammed in there.
Copy !req
263. Been cranky as a female dog
since breakfast,
Copy !req
264. and now I know why.
Copy !req
265. We've been trying,
me and Jerry,
Copy !req
266. for months now. Yeah.
Copy !req
267. Like those old
Road Runner cartoons
Copy !req
268. with the wolf
and the sheep dog,
Copy !req
269. how you punch
a clock to go to work?
Copy !req
270. It's mostly missionary,
if I'm being honest.
Copy !req
271. We used to spice it up,
Copy !req
272. but now it's about
the shortest distance
Copy !req
273. between two points.
Copy !req
274. I've...
Copy !req
275. He'd pop faster from the back,
if I'm being honest,
Copy !req
276. but I think it's important
to look each other in the eyes
Copy !req
277. when it comes
to making babies.
Copy !req
278. You got kids?
Copy !req
279. Uh, one. Nathan. He's 12.
Copy !req
280. Oh, that's what Jerry wants.
Copy !req
281. A shortstop or a
switch-hitting third baseman.
Copy !req
282. Me? I've got my
fingers crossed for a girl.
Copy !req
283. - Well, I better hit it.
Copy !req
284. Here on a 10-30, leaving
the scene of the accident,
Copy !req
285. except the vic don't
wanna press charges,
Copy !req
286. turns out so. You?
Copy !req
287. Um, murder.
Copy !req
288. Jeez!
Copy !req
289. Yeah.
Copy !req
290. Well, happy trails.
Copy !req
291. I know, baby.
Copy !req
292. It's all I can
think about, too. I...
Copy !req
293. Look, I'm no psychic,
but how does he not fund us?
Copy !req
294. And if not, well,
we got capital now.
Copy !req
295. Oh, I've got to go. Yeah.
Copy !req
296. Yeah, you, too.
Copy !req
297. I love you.
Copy !req
298. Hi.
Copy !req
299. I already told
the other girl everything.
Copy !req
300. The other...
Copy !req
301. Oh, no, sir, I'm not
here about the accident.
Copy !req
302. Gloria Burgle,
Eden Valley Police.
Copy !req
303. I'm, uh,
looking into the, uh...
Copy !req
304. The, uh, murder of...
Copy !req
305. Now that is...
Copy !req
306. Truly, what are the odds?
Copy !req
307. You said "murder"?
Copy !req
308. Yes, sir, of Ennis Stussy
in Eden Valley.
Copy !req
309. And here you are,
how many miles away,
Copy !req
310. a Stussy as well.
Copy !req
311. Well, I mean, it's...
Copy !req
312. Go figure.
It's a pretty common name.
Copy !req
313. I got cousins all
over the darn place,
Copy !req
314. not that I'm saying that
this fellow was a cousin,
Copy !req
315. although who knows?
Could've been.
Copy !req
316. Well, reason I'm here,
one of your cons, Maurice.
Copy !req
317. He's most likely the culprit.
Copy !req
318. We got evidence shows he broke
into the victim's house,
Copy !req
319. tore the place apart
looking for something.
Copy !req
320. Hmm? Maurice LeFay?
Copy !req
321. That's the one.
Copy !req
322. Air conditioner caved
his cranium, I heard.
Copy !req
323. Heard that as well.
Copy !req
324. Saw it, in fact.
Not a pretty picture.
Copy !req
325. All the same,
Copy !req
326. just 'cause the perp passes on
Copy !req
327. doesn't mean
the investigation halts.
Copy !req
328. There's a question of why.
Copy !req
329. "Why."
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
330. Fellow drove 30 miles
Copy !req
331. without knowing
his destined address,
Copy !req
332. finds Ennis
out of the phone book,
Copy !req
333. and then searches his house
Copy !req
334. like he knows
there's something there,
Copy !req
335. like he's looking
for something in particular.
Copy !req
336. It's unusual.
Copy !req
337. Well, I mean,
Copy !req
338. - he liked his reefer.
- Is that right?
Copy !req
339. Smoked a heck of a lot.
Copy !req
340. In fact,
he blew his piss test.
Copy !req
341. Was gonna grab him up
when I heard the news.
Copy !req
342. "Death by major appliance."
Copy !req
343. So I'm not sure how
much more I can...
Copy !req
344. But if I think of anything...
Copy !req
345. All I can ask, sir,
if something pops to mind.
Copy !req
346. We're moving offices,
Copy !req
347. so I wrote the new
number on the back.
Copy !req
348. "Chief."
Copy !req
349. Ignore that. We're doing
some restructuring.
Copy !req
350. They always find a way
to screw you, don't they?
Copy !req
351. They try.
Copy !req
352. Jeez!
Copy !req
353. Hey, Ray.
Copy !req
354. Yeah. I'm just running out
for a home inspection.
Copy !req
355. Yeah?
Copy !req
356. Let's table that for now.
Copy !req
357. Yeah?
Copy !req
358. Have a seat, Ray.
Copy !req
359. - I, uh...
Copy !req
360. You know the Deputy Director.
Copy !req
361. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
362. How are you today, sir?
Copy !req
363. It's a problem, Ray.
Copy !req
364. I, uh...
Copy !req
365. Can't have this, Ray.
Copy !req
366. Intermingling
with the clientele?
Copy !req
367. You swore an oath.
Copy !req
368. Well, to be fair, sir...
Copy !req
369. Not a literal oath, I'll give
you that, but implied.
Copy !req
370. For Pete's sake, it's
right there in the handbook.
Copy !req
371. Don't bang the cattle.
Copy !req
372. First off, there's probably
broken glass down there.
Copy !req
373. Second...
Copy !req
374. Second,
it's against the damn law.
Copy !req
375. Which...
I've got to give it to you.
Copy !req
376. The Swango skank,
you could fry bacon on, but...
Copy !req
377. - Now, that's...
- I'm saying she's hot.
Copy !req
378. - No, I...
- That's not the point.
Copy !req
379. That's right.
That's not the...
Copy !req
380. Son,
Copy !req
381. read my lips.
Copy !req
382. You're in a shit storm,
Copy !req
383. and we're the ones
holding out the umbrella.
Copy !req
384. You gonna take it?
Copy !req
385. Well, that's...
What is that...
Copy !req
386. I'm saying that if you tell us
Copy !req
387. that it was a one-time thing,
Copy !req
388. that you lost your mind
for a moment,
Copy !req
389. then we can go to suspension.
Copy !req
390. Hmm? Huh?
Copy !req
391. Slap you on the wrist,
Copy !req
392. or maybe on
the dingus would be better.
Copy !req
393. I love her.
Copy !req
394. Son.
Copy !req
395. That's wrong.
Copy !req
396. That's not
the way to go here, Ray.
Copy !req
397. And you know what?
Copy !req
398. She loves me.
Copy !req
399. Look at her.
Copy !req
400. A girl like that,
and she loves me.
Copy !req
401. We're getting married.
Copy !req
402. We got plans, big plans.
Copy !req
403. Not if we revoke her.
Copy !req
404. Now, hold on just a...
Copy !req
405. Consequences, Mr. Stussy.
Copy !req
406. That's the way
the cookie crumbles.
Copy !req
407. Maybe a few months
at Stillwater
Copy !req
408. will straighten her out.
Copy !req
409. These rules
aren't just for you, Ray.
Copy !req
410. What if she's
manipulating you,
Copy !req
411. using her poontang
to hoodwink and bamboozle?
Copy !req
412. See, that's what they do, son.
Copy !req
413. - I thought you knew that.
- Look.
Copy !req
414. Punish me.
That's fine, but don't...
Copy !req
415. If there's any
fealty whatsoever...
Copy !req
416. She's not a recidivist.
Copy !req
417. We're not talking
a common criminal here.
Copy !req
418. Whatever problems
there were for her
Copy !req
419. are in the past.
Copy !req
420. We...
Copy !req
421. We've got plans, like I said.
Copy !req
422. Won bronze in
the Wildcat regionals.
Copy !req
423. And there's a sponsor,
Lurdsman.
Copy !req
424. He's a...
Kitchen supplies or...
Copy !req
425. He's gonna sponsor our run.
Copy !req
426. Bridge, we play.
Copy !req
427. For the love of God,
Copy !req
428. you can't send her back.
Copy !req
429. You've got 10 minutes
to clean out your desk.
Copy !req
430. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
431. And you're gonna
sign a paper saying
Copy !req
432. that you're not gonna sue us
for wrongful termination
Copy !req
433. or whatever half-cocked scheme
comes into your head
Copy !req
434. once the shock wears off.
Copy !req
435. You got my word.
Copy !req
436. We had your word,
for all the good it did us.
Copy !req
437. Good evening. Stussy Lots.
Copy !req
438. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
439. Yeah.
Copy !req
440. Be sure to tell him
in the morning.
Copy !req
441. You have a good
night yourself.
Copy !req
442. Sy.
Copy !req
443. Law enforcement's here.
Copy !req
444. That's, uh...
Copy !req
445. Nobody asked for that.
Copy !req
446. Sir, I'm Officer Lopez,
Saint Cloud Metro.
Copy !req
447. Is there a place
we could talk in private?
Copy !req
448. That's...
I didn't call the police.
Copy !req
449. No, sir. It's...
Copy !req
450. I'm investigating
an automotive flapper
Copy !req
451. in the driver of a Humvee
Copy !req
452. registered to
this Stussy Lots.
Copy !req
453. Did vehicular damage to...
Copy !req
454. Fine. Fine.
Copy !req
455. Let's...
Not here.
Copy !req
456. I just want to say upfront,
this is a total waste of time.
Copy !req
457. Uh, yes, sir.
Copy !req
458. And I've already talked
to the one complainant,
Copy !req
459. and he's not interested
in pressing charges.
Copy !req
460. See?
Copy !req
461. To wit,
one Raymond Stussy works
Copy !req
462. for the parole board,
and I have to ask,
Copy !req
463. any relation to
the Stussy on the marquee?
Copy !req
464. That's fine. I can check that.
It's just that, um...
Copy !req
465. I ran the registration
on the offending vehicle
Copy !req
466. and saw that
the Humvee in question
Copy !req
467. was registered to
your parking lot concern.
Copy !req
468. But it's unspecified
in the paperwork
Copy !req
469. as to who here is
actually driving it.
Copy !req
470. Well, that's...
I'd have to look.
Copy !req
471. That'd be great.
Copy !req
472. You mean now?
Copy !req
473. If it's not too much trouble.
Copy !req
474. I mean, it's after hours.
People are out.
Copy !req
475. Just leave me your number.
Copy !req
476. The girl in HR can run it
through in the morning.
Copy !req
477. What's her name?
Copy !req
478. I'm sorry.
I'm confused. You said...
Copy !req
479. What I heard was
Copy !req
480. the offended party
wasn't interested in charges.
Copy !req
481. Right.
Copy !req
482. Yeah, that's complainant one.
Copy !req
483. Complainant two,
the waitress I mentioned,
Copy !req
484. she got hit on
the way out of the lot.
Copy !req
485. She is hopping mad.
Copy !req
486. Just paid her wagon off,
apparently.
Copy !req
487. That sounds like
an insurance matter.
Copy !req
488. Yes, sir,
except the driver in question
Copy !req
489. left the scene of
the accident at speed,
Copy !req
490. and that's police.
Copy !req
491. Well, like I said,
Copy !req
492. am I talking to
myself here, or...
Copy !req
493. Soon as
the girl's in tomorrow,
Copy !req
494. I'll have her
call up that info,
Copy !req
495. and we'll get it over to you.
Copy !req
496. Okay, sir. Well, I sure do
appreciate your time.
Copy !req
497. Not sure what's keeping Ray.
Copy !req
498. He's super reliable normally.
Copy !req
499. You'll see.
Copy !req
500. A rock, really.
Copy !req
501. It's kind of his bellwether.
Copy !req
502. I'll...
Copy !req
503. Let me call him again.
Copy !req
504. I feel that maybe
we started poorly.
Copy !req
505. Jesus, it's dinnertime.
Copy !req
506. Schweinekoteletts.
Copy !req
507. Pork chops.
Copy !req
508. With applesauce, but...
Copy !req
509. Marvelous.
We'll talk as we eat.
Copy !req
510. Now, that's not...
Just a... Goddamn!
Copy !req
511. A step too far
is what this is.
Copy !req
512. Coming to my home.
Copy !req
513. Why do I feel that
you're not happy we met
Copy !req
514. when all I want to do
is make you rich?
Copy !req
515. Look around. I'm already rich.
Copy !req
516. No, you're not.
Copy !req
517. I wish you'd let us
sit at the real table.
Copy !req
518. In the dining room.
Copy !req
519. I'll let you into a secret,
madam.
Copy !req
520. I was a housemaid's boy,
Copy !req
521. and I ate three meals a day
in a kitchen below ground,
Copy !req
522. so you're making me
feel right at home.
Copy !req
523. Mmm.
Copy !req
524. And how are you this evening,
young lady?
Copy !req
525. That's Mama, the matriarch.
Copy !req
526. But she doesn't talk,
not since the stroke.
Copy !req
527. That's a shame.
Copy !req
528. I bet she had
a lovely speaking voice.
Copy !req
529. I wish you'd told me
about company.
Copy !req
530. Ah! That's my fault.
Copy !req
531. I do have a tendency
to drop in unannounced,
Copy !req
532. but, you see, the thing is,
Copy !req
533. Emmit and I have such
amazing opportunities
Copy !req
534. ahead of us that...
Copy !req
535. Well, you know what they say
about time being money.
Copy !req
536. Really?
- Mmm.
Copy !req
537. I don't want to talk business
in front of them.
Copy !req
538. Emmit, don't be rude.
Copy !req
539. I don't mean to gossip,
Copy !req
540. but, um, are you English
by any chance?
Copy !req
541. What gave it away?
Copy !req
542. No, I like to think of myself
as a citizen of the world.
Copy !req
543. London, Manila, Johannesburg,
Tokyo, Rome.
Copy !req
544. You've been to
all those places?
Copy !req
545. Hmm. And more.
Copy !req
546. In fact, that's what I want
to talk to your husband about.
Copy !req
547. About broadening
our partnership,
Copy !req
548. or a broad in it,
if you'll pardon the pun.
Copy !req
549. - Partnership?
Copy !req
550. He's exaggerating.
Copy !req
551. We have some dealings
more in the realm of finance.
Copy !req
552. Yeah.
Copy !req
553. Maybe he's right.
Copy !req
554. We shouldn't be
broadcasting our intentions.
Copy !req
555. It's just that
your husband, madam,
Copy !req
556. is a consummate businessman.
Copy !req
557. He's a true professional.
Copy !req
558. I learn something
from him every day anew.
Copy !req
559. In fact,
Copy !req
560. I brought those contracts
you asked me to draw up,
Copy !req
561. if you'd like to review them.
Copy !req
562. And now might I be
so forward, madam,
Copy !req
563. as to ask for
the location of your WC.
Copy !req
564. Our what?
Copy !req
565. He means the crapper.
Copy !req
566. Emmit.
Copy !req
567. It's just down the hall
on your right-hand side.
Copy !req
568. Right.
Copy !req
569. What?
Copy !req
570. I'm not making you
a partner in my company.
Copy !req
571. You just blew in
on the wind Thursday.
Copy !req
572. I'm calling Sy.
Copy !req
573. Ah. And here's me
thinking you were the boss.
Copy !req
574. In the favelas of Brazil,
Copy !req
575. there are six-year-olds
with Glocks.
Copy !req
576. They roam in packs, stealing
whatever they can find.
Copy !req
577. Mexican lowlifes
Copy !req
578. stream into this country
like wolves,
Copy !req
579. eyeing our women and children.
Copy !req
580. In the Congo, a family of six
live on 10 cents a day.
Copy !req
581. You turn on the TV,
what do you see?
Copy !req
582. Boat people.
Copy !req
583. Mass migration.
Copy !req
584. You're living in the age
of the refugee, my friend.
Copy !req
585. Look, if you won't
take back your money,
Copy !req
586. well, I can't make you!
Copy !req
587. You see it, don't you?
Copy !req
588. Millions of people bought
houses they couldn't afford,
Copy !req
589. and now they're
living on the streets.
Copy !req
590. 85% of the world's wealth
Copy !req
591. is controlled by 1%
of the population.
Copy !req
592. What do you think
is gonna happen
Copy !req
593. when those people wake up
Copy !req
594. and realize you've
got all their money?
Copy !req
595. Hey!
I just charge for parking!
Copy !req
596. Oh, you think they're
gonna ask questions
Copy !req
597. when they come with their
pitchforks and their torches?
Copy !req
598. You live in a mansion.
Copy !req
599. You drive a $90,000 car.
Copy !req
600. It's a lease
through the company.
Copy !req
601. Look at me.
Copy !req
602. Look at me.
Copy !req
603. This is a $200 suit.
Copy !req
604. I wear a second-hand tie.
I fly coach.
Copy !req
605. Not because
I can't afford first,
Copy !req
606. because I'm smart.
Copy !req
607. So look at you,
and look at me,
Copy !req
608. and tell me who's the richer.
Copy !req
609. I feel like this is
a trick question.
Copy !req
610. There's an accounting coming,
Mr. Stussy,
Copy !req
611. and you know I'm right.
Mongol hordes descending.
Copy !req
612. Now what are you doing
to insulate yourself
Copy !req
613. and your family?
Copy !req
614. You think you're rich.
Copy !req
615. You've no idea
what "rich" means.
Copy !req
616. "Rich" is a fleet
of private planes
Copy !req
617. filled with decoys
to mask your scent.
Copy !req
618. It's a banker in Wyoming
and another in Gstaad.
Copy !req
619. So that's action item one,
the accumulation of wealth,
Copy !req
620. and I mean wealth, not money.
Copy !req
621. What's action item number two?
Copy !req
622. To use that wealth
to become invisible.
Copy !req
623. Why does it smell like
an unflushed toilet in here?
Copy !req
624. Oh, we had a...
There was an incident.
Copy !req
625. Is this where you hung it?
Copy !req
626. What?
Copy !req
627. The stamp.
Copy !req
628. The famed Two-Penny Red U.S.
misprint.
Copy !req
629. If I'm not mistaken, the "2"
was the wrong way around.
Copy !req
630. How do you...
Copy !req
631. It's all very Old Testament,
really,
Copy !req
632. this feud between
you and Raymond.
Copy !req
633. Do you know
there are 25 chapters
Copy !req
634. in the book of Genesis
Copy !req
635. that refer to
the feuds of brothers?
Copy !req
636. Cain and Abel, most famously,
Copy !req
637. but Joseph was
betrayed by his brothers
Copy !req
638. and sold into slavery.
Copy !req
639. Not to forget
the sons of Isaac.
Copy !req
640. "And my brother Esau
was a hairy man,
Copy !req
641. "but I am a smooth man."
Copy !req
642. Then not another peep.
Copy !req
643. Corinthians, Leviticus.
Copy !req
644. You'd think all
the brothers of history
Copy !req
645. had worked things out,
Copy !req
646. but, of course,
we both know that's not true.
Copy !req
647. Now, just wait a minute, pal.
Copy !req
648. I don't know what
you're or how you...
Copy !req
649. But private matters
between me and my...
Copy !req
650. I hear things.
Copy !req
651. I hear them because I listen.
Copy !req
652. I see them because I watch.
Copy !req
653. Emails.
Copy !req
654. Phone calls.
Copy !req
655. SY: He came.
Who?
Copy !req
656. SY: Well, now,
the fella from the...
Copy !req
657. Ermentraub?
Copy !req
658. SY: No. Different fella.
Copy !req
659. Don't wanna say too much
on the phone.
Copy !req
660. Just...
You better come down here.
Copy !req
661. You can never be too careful.
That's my motto.
Copy !req
662. You see, I've got
great plans for us, Emmit.
Copy !req
663. Can't you just
take the money back?
Copy !req
664. No. No, my friend, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
665. You're in the pan,
and you know
Copy !req
666. where you go
when you leave the pan.
Copy !req
667. - The...
- The frying pan.
Copy !req
668. You know where you go
when you leave.
Copy !req
669. - Into the fire.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
670. They're coming.
Copy !req
671. Pitchfork peasants
with murder in their eyes,
Copy !req
672. and me, your guardian angel,
Copy !req
673. which is why
I went to the Minnesota
Copy !req
674. National Trust this morning,
Copy !req
675. and they have
agreed to increase
Copy !req
676. your line of credit
by $25 million.
Copy !req
677. How?
Copy !req
678. By acting as your agent,
your partner.
Copy !req
679. So, here's some of
the papers you need to sign.
Copy !req
680. I've studied your books,
Copy !req
681. and, uh, you're not just
Copy !req
682. in the parking lot
business anymore.
Copy !req
683. What business am I in?
Copy !req
684. The billionaire business.
Copy !req
685. But first you need
to tell me, uh,
Copy !req
686. is your brother
going to be a problem?
Copy !req
687. Ray? No, he...
Copy !req
688. It's just a dumb rivalry.
Copy !req
689. And the girl?
Copy !req
690. I don't...
Copy !req
691. I mean, he's,
Copy !req
692. honestly,
Copy !req
693. a loser.
Copy !req
694. So what else could she be?
Copy !req
695. Just then
Grandfather came out.
Copy !req
696. He was angry because Peter
had gone into the meadow.
Copy !req
697. It's a dangerous place.
Copy !req
698. If a wolf should
come out of the forest,
Copy !req
699. then what would you do?
Copy !req
700. But Peter paid no attention
to his grandfather's words.
Copy !req
701. Boys like Peter
aren't afraid of wolves.
Copy !req
702. - Mom.
- Huh?
Copy !req
703. I said it's time for bed.
Copy !req
704. Well, go on and get
your teeth brushed.
Copy !req
705. I'm right in the next room.
Copy !req
706. Mom, I'm not a baby.
Copy !req
707. You're my baby.
Copy !req
708. Hold that thought.
Copy !req
709. Hi-ho.
Copy !req
710. Little off the beaten path,
aren't you?
Copy !req
711. I went by the station,
they said...
Copy !req
712. Fudge, you were turning in.
Copy !req
713. That's okay.
You want some tea?
Copy !req
714. Yeah, sounds good.
Copy !req
715. So remember I was telling you
about my hit-and-run?
Copy !req
716. A Humvee in
a restaurant parking lot,
Copy !req
717. - two other vehicles involved.
- Hmm.
Copy !req
718. So I run the plate
number on the Hummer,
Copy !req
719. and it's registered
to a corporation
Copy !req
720. in Saint Cloud, a company car.
Copy !req
721. Seems like you're
crossing all the T's.
Copy !req
722. Not sure how it's...
Copy !req
723. Well, okay, then.
Copy !req
724. So, after I see you
in the commode,
Copy !req
725. I go see this fellow
that works there,
Copy !req
726. and something strikes me odd.
Copy !req
727. The name.
Copy !req
728. See, it turns out
that one of the victims
Copy !req
729. has the same last name
Copy !req
730. as the fellow
that owns the company
Copy !req
731. that leased the car.
Copy !req
732. So I looked it up,
and, get this,
Copy !req
733. they're brothers, which...
Copy !req
734. Then I remembered that
Copy !req
735. you were at the Parole Board
about a murder,
Copy !req
736. and so I looked it up.
Copy !req
737. I mean,
Eden Valley's had one death
Copy !req
738. by foul play in 16 months.
Copy !req
739. And the victim's name is...
Copy !req
740. Ennis Stussy.
Copy !req
741. With the same as...
Copy !req
742. My suspect's parole officer.
Copy !req
743. And his brother,
Copy !req
744. who owns the company
that leased the Humvee,
Copy !req
745. and who lives, get this,
Copy !req
746. in Eden Prairie.
Copy !req
