151. I serve no God or country.Copy !req

158. fuck.Copy !req
159. At this range,Copy !req

187. Hey.Copy !req
188. Well, don't you have
quite a bit of miles, Mr. Unger.Copy !req
189. Impressive.Copy !req
190. Please enjoy.Copy !req
191. How could this happen?Copy !req
192. - It's unprecedented.
- It happened.Copy !req
193. Is that what you suggest
I inform the client, "It happened"?Copy !req
194. This is a problem.Copy !req
195. Obviously it's a fuckin' problem

197. for who knows how long.Copy !req
198. Jesus fucking Christ.Copy !req

206. We are offering
complimentary travel vouchers todayCopy !req
207. to those few passengersCopy !req
208. who might be willing
to take a later scheduled flight.Copy !req
209. So, please speak to any gate agent
if you're interested.Copy !req
210. Thank you so much for agreeing
to give up your seat today, Mr. Bunker.Copy !req
211. This entitles you
to a room voucher this eveningCopy !req
212. and free drink tokens
on your flight tomorrow.Copy !req
213. You'll fly first thing in the morning,
and it is direct to Santo Domingo.Copy !req
214. Just right over there.Copy !req
215. - Would you like me to put it...
- No, thank you.Copy !req
216. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
217. - ICU four, four!
- Four.Copy !req
218. Oh no.Copy !req
219. Shh. Please don't let her hear your voice.Copy !req
220. She needs sleep.Copy !req
221. They're monitoring for internal bleeding.Copy !req
222. She just had a second transfusion,
and she's on heavy pain meds.Copy !req
223. There were two of them.
She can describe them.Copy !req
224. It's not like
they were disguising themselves.Copy !req
225. One was a woman.Copy !req
226. This wasn't a robbery.
She told me that... She...Copy !req
227. - She might...
- Take your time.Copy !req
228. "There are worse things
than what they did to me."Copy !req
229. She kept telling me.Copy !req
230. Can you imagine?Copy !req
231. Worse things?Copy !req
232. She told me that during the...Copy !req
233. assault,Copy !req
234. she stabbed a man,Copy !req
235. ran through a fucking plate glass window,Copy !req
236. - hid in the jungle...
- Marcus, breathe.Copy !req
237. They left in a green car
with a light on top.Copy !req
238. Like a fucking taxi.Copy !req
239. Can you believe it?Copy !req
240. Look, she knows
there are things she can and cannot sayCopy !req
241. if anyone comes asking.Copy !req
242. All this time you've been very kind
to my sister.Copy !req
243. She loves you.Copy !req
244. I've learned not to pry.Copy !req
245. - But this...
- Marcus.Copy !req
246. They came for you,Copy !req
247. and they weren't about to leave a witness.Copy !req
248. Marcus, listen very carefully.Copy !req
249. I promise, I swear to you,Copy !req
250. nothing like this
will ever be allowed to happen again.Copy !req
251. She's well enough to travel,
and later today, she'll be transportedCopy !req
252. to the private hospital
in Punta Cana as arranged.Copy !req
253. No. You mustn't try...Copy !req
254. Are you all right?Copy !req
255. Let me see you.Copy !req
256. I was so afraid.
Afraid I might say something.Copy !req
257. But I didn't.Copy !req
258. No matter what they said,Copy !req
259. no matter what he did,Copy !req
260. I didn't tell them anything.Copy !req
261. Not about you.Copy !req
262. Nothing.Copy !req
263. You'd have been proud.Copy !req
264. - I was strong.
- I know you were.Copy !req
265. How... How bad is it?Copy !req
266. I'll see soon enough, huh?Copy !req
267. I told myself,Copy !req
268. "If I don't make it,Copy !req
269. if I don't survive,Copy !req
270. I'll never see him again."Copy !req
271. I couldn't bear that.Copy !req
272. So, I made up my mind.Copy !req
273. Get some rest now.Copy !req
274. Okay.Copy !req
275. Would you rather send this overnight?Copy !req
276. So, for that rate,
this would be delivered two days from now,Copy !req
277. end of business, Mr... Madison.Copy !req
278. I blame you, Leo,
for having to bring work home.Copy !req
279. Stick to the plan.Copy !req
280. Anticipate, don't improvise.Copy !req
281. Trust no one.Copy !req
282. Never yield an advantage.Copy !req
283. Fight only the battle
you're paid to fight.Copy !req
284. - Disculpa. I'm late.
- Forbid empathy.Copy !req
285. Empathy is weakness.Copy !req
286. Weakness is vulnerability.Copy !req
287. Each and every step of the way,
ask yourself,Copy !req
288. "What's in it for me?"Copy !req
289. This is what it takes.Copy !req
290. What you must commit yourself to...Copy !req
291. if you want to succeed.Copy !req
292. Simple.Copy !req
293. Oh shit, man.Copy !req
294. I just started.
Alguna moneda es lo único que tengo.Copy !req
295. I'll show you, okay?Copy !req
296. Take it, man.Copy !req
297. There's a rubber in there too...
what's mine is yours.Copy !req
298. Take the wallet if you want.Copy !req
299. What else? Hmm? Want my radio?Copy !req
300. Tell me about your big fare, Leo,
three days ago.Copy !req
301. What?Copy !req
302. Three days? Hey.Copy !req
303. Wait, wait. Don't!
Okay, I... I'll tell you. Um...Copy !req
304. Uh...Copy !req
305. The freak and the lady, right?Copy !req
306. From the... From the private airport,
that's who?Copy !req
307. I picked them up around noon.
I remember, it was right before lunch.Copy !req
308. I'd been waiting around.
There was nothing. Slow day, slow week.Copy !req
309. I was about to split when one
of those little jets came in, so I stayed.Copy !req
310. And they come, two crazy-looking güeros.
And the lady? Like a Q-tip.Copy !req
311. And the dude with her?Copy !req
312. Should've kept him on a leash.
He was a scary motherfucker.Copy !req
313. Walk me through your time with them
to the very best of your recollection.Copy !req
314. No problem. I drove them. That's all.Copy !req
315. "Round trip" was what they said,
then they told me north on Highway 1,Copy !req
316. then deep into the damn jungle,
like forever.Copy !req
317. They showed me on Google. I drove them.Copy !req
318. They wouldn't take no for an answer.Copy !req
319. We go to a private property,
and I was supposed to wait.Copy !req
320. They were gone... an hour, maybe.Copy !req
321. Take this next exit.Copy !req
322. All I know is that I was starvingCopy !req
323. and I didn't care
how much the meter was ticking.Copy !req
324. I was going to leave them.
I'm not allowed to, but I almost did.Copy !req
325. Pull up in here.Copy !req
326. They came back after sunset.Copy !req
327. The guy's leg
was all bloody and fucked up.Copy !req
328. They wanted me to take 'em back
to the airport, so I did.Copy !req
329. That was the end of it.Copy !req
330. May I?Copy !req
331. Want one?Copy !req
332. Ask me anything. Anything.Copy !req
333. I don't know who they are.
Don't wanna know who you are either.Copy !req
334. Con todo respeto.Copy !req
335. So, how about I get out
and I leave the keys? I'll walk back...Copy !req
336. And...Copy !req
337. you're all set, Mr. Cunningham.Copy !req
338. Have a pleasant trip.Copy !req
339. New Orleans.Copy !req
340. Lovely, humid New Orleans.Copy !req
341. A thousand restaurants, one menu.Copy !req
342. Where good old Professor Hodges
convinced me to quit studying lawCopy !req
343. and try skirting it.Copy !req
344. There are more
than 50,000 storage facilities in the US.Copy !req
345. I have units in six.Copy !req
346. I like to imagine,
once the automatic payments have dried up,Copy !req
347. the episode of Storage Wars
where they cut the lock on one of mineCopy !req
348. and get a look inside.Copy !req
349. Dolores.Copy !req
350. Miss me?Copy !req
351. CCTV and a 1980s deadlatch lock.Copy !req
352. Outmoded solutions
to real security problems.Copy !req
353. Yo!Copy !req
354. Thank you so much, man.Copy !req
355. You're a lifesaver.Copy !req
356. One, one thousand.Copy !req
357. Two, one thousand.Copy !req
358. Three, one thousand.Copy !req
359. Four, one thousand.Copy !req
360. Five, one thousand.Copy !req
361. Six, one thousand.Copy !req
362. Seven, one thousand.Copy !req
363. - Can't wait for it.
- No, I know.Copy !req
364. Everything good?Copy !req
365. Everything's good.
Just the one today?Copy !req
366. - Just the one.
- Oh my goodness.Copy !req
367. - Have a good one.
- See ya.Copy !req
368. Hello, Dolores.Copy !req
369. Hello. How...Copy !req
370. Oh.Copy !req
371. Oh my God!Copy !req
372. Oh my God. Oh my God.Copy !req
373. Oh my God. Oh my God.Copy !req
374. - Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God.
- Stop saying that.Copy !req
375. - What is it, Dolores?
- I'm sorry, sir.Copy !req
376. I said I need email ti...Copy !req
377. Good God.Copy !req
378. What could you possibly be thinking,
coming here?Copy !req
379. This is very unlike you, my friend.
Care to explain yourself?Copy !req
380. 'Cause I can't conceive
of anything I have to offerCopy !req
381. that could remotely be worth
the exposure you're risking right now.Copy !req
382. Go ahead.Copy !req
383. Whatever he says.Copy !req
384. Insanity.Copy !req
385. There's no other word for this. Insanity.Copy !req
386. Surely you can't be angry with me.Copy !req
387. I'm so sorry.
I... I... I opened the outer door.Copy !req
388. - Dolores.
- The FedEx...Copy !req
389. I'm the one who's sorry.Copy !req
390. I sincerely apologize.Copy !req
391. There's clearly been
some sort of misunderstanding.Copy !req
392. I'd like to ask you to take a breath.Copy !req
393. Think for a minute.Copy !req
394. This'll be resolved in a moment, darlin'.
I promise you.Copy !req
395. Once he realizes the folly of his actions.Copy !req
396. You went home?Copy !req
397. How could you have,
realizing my hands were...Copy !req
398. You had to have known that I'd have no say
in the matter going forward.Copy !req
399. - And still, you went home?
- Who were they?Copy !req
400. Who were they?Copy !req
401. First of all, who cares?Copy !req
402. I barely glanced at the invoice, which,Copy !req
403. if I may say,
is very much beside the point.Copy !req
404. The consequences,
when someone's wide of the mark,Copy !req
405. are automatic.Copy !req
406. However regrettable, they're
an obligation to client and calling.Copy !req
407. I was forced to make amends
to a very angry, very powerful man.Copy !req
408. Never in my wildest imagination
did I think you'd actually go home.Copy !req
409. Not in a million years.Copy !req
410. The fuck? That's just juvenile.Copy !req
411. Though it's not too late.Copy !req
412. Even now,
this entire debacle can be salvaged.Copy !req
413. But only if you disappear,Copy !req
414. which is what I assumed
you've already done.Copy !req
415. You've got more money
than you could ever spend,Copy !req
416. thanks, in no small part, to me,Copy !req
417. so why aren't you already
on the other side of the globe,Copy !req
418. under any number of aliases, spending it?Copy !req
419. You don't believe me,
don't feel you can trust me.Copy !req
420. Fine. I suppose I brought that on myself.Copy !req
421. But after all these years,
having built this from the ground up,Copy !req
422. I thought we had a relationship.Copy !req
423. It's all here somewhere.Copy !req
424. I know you have backups, Eddie.Copy !req
425. On me, everyone, the whole shebang.Copy !req
426. 'Cause you'd never put it on the CloudCopy !req
427. any more than you'd trust it
outside this office.Copy !req
428. There's nothing like that.Copy !req
429. Everything I dealt with
was on those two laptops.Copy !req
430. And now, it's not.Copy !req
431. Who do you think
you're trying to intimidate?Copy !req
432. You're not gonna. There's no upside.Copy !req
433. The only logical choice for youCopy !req
434. is to turn around right now,
walk out that door,Copy !req
435. go embrace your next life.Copy !req
436. I wish you well.Copy !req
437. You'll drown slowly,
then I'll dispose of you.Copy !req
438. So while a few fragments
of your side-hustleCopy !req
439. may be left to puzzle over...Copy !req
440. since you'll have completely vanished,Copy !req
441. the trail ends where it began.Copy !req
442. Unless...Copy !req
443. I need that information, Edward.Copy !req
444. And you are running outta time.Copy !req
445. Fuck...Copy !req
446. you...Copy !req

452. Anticipate, don't improvise.Copy !req
453. Fight only the battle
you're paid to fight.Copy !req
454. Trust no one.Copy !req
455. I'd beg
if I thought it would do any good.Copy !req
456. I have the names you're looking for.
I know who they were.Copy !req
457. But... before I give them to you,
I want something in return...Copy !req
458. I know what you're capable of,
how you can...Copy !req
459. make things seem.Copy !req
460. I'll give you those names,Copy !req
461. but promise me you won't leave things
looking the wrong way.Copy !req
462. Please.Copy !req
463. I can't just disappear.Copy !req
464. My children need my life insur...Copy !req
465. Forbid empathy.Copy !req
466. I guess I am begging.Copy !req
467. Empathy is weakness.Copy !req
468. Weakness is vulnerability.Copy !req
469. Each and every step of the way,Copy !req
470. ask yourself, "What's in it for me?"Copy !req
471. This is what it takes.Copy !req
472. What you must commit yourself toCopy !req
473. if you want to succeed.Copy !req
474. Simple.Copy !req
475. Need any help getting rid of that body?Copy !req
476. I'm not a bad person.Copy !req
477. I'm not.Copy !req
478. Start date
of your employment in ParisCopy !req
479. was November 28, so go to N.Copy !req
480. Under N, in numerical order, find 1128.Copy !req
481. One, one, two, eight.Copy !req
482. You'll recognize the address.Copy !req
483. Because of...Copy !req
484. what happened,Copy !req
485. there's an addendum on the back.Copy !req
486. Should be two wire transfer
routing numbersCopy !req
487. for the subcontractors
you're interested in.Copy !req
488. They're filed under an account number.
What's the number?Copy !req
489. - Two, three, one...
- T.Copy !req
490. Numerically, again.Copy !req
491. Claybourne?Copy !req
492. The client.Copy !req
493. Cleanup, without fail,
is labor-intensive.Copy !req
494. To say the least.Copy !req
495. If you don't want a puzzle solved,Copy !req
496. remove a piece or two.Copy !req
497. Scatter the rest.Copy !req
498. What's the expression?Copy !req
499. Measure twice, cut once.Copy !req
500. Even I have to remind myself...Copy !req
501. the only life path...Copy !req
502. is the one behind you.Copy !req
503. All right.
And she's all yours, Mr. Kincaid.Copy !req
504. In 600 feet,
your destination will be on the left.Copy !req
505. Ah. The Sunshine State.Copy !req
506. Where else can you find
so many like-minded individuals...Copy !req
507. Yeah.Copy !req
508. outside a penitentiary.Copy !req
509. - Hope they're not planning a sleepover.
- Come on.Copy !req
510. First things first...Copy !req
511. Get that money!Copy !req
512. We gonna make some money tonight, baby!Copy !req
513. Maybe a mandatory 30-day waiting periodCopy !req
514. for creatine's not a bad idea.Copy !req
515. So, here you are.Copy !req
516. Vigilant.Copy !req
517. Narrowly focused.Copy !req
518. How's "I don't give a fuck" going?Copy !req
519. Bye, man.Copy !req
520. Diva, down!Copy !req
521. Diva! Come on.Copy !req
522. This'll have to be a best guess,Copy !req
523. based on the average pit bull
weighing 45 to 55 pounds.Copy !req
524. She actually looks biggerCopy !req
525. up close.Copy !req

536. Meet the music of America.Copy !req
537. It's the way
to our Atlantic sun and beaches.Copy !req
538. And our Caribbean island destinations.Copy !req
539. Today we're back
in Arley Hall and Gardens in Cheshire.Copy !req
540. And if you are a garden lover,
prepare to be very excitedCopy !req
541. because this is one of
the oldest country gardens...Copy !req
542. Stick to your plan.Copy !req
543. Anticipate, don't improvise.Copy !req
544. is one
of the oldest in the country.Copy !req
545. Trust no one.Copy !req
546. Fight only the battle
you're paid to fight.Copy !req
547. You picked the wrong house, motherfucker.Copy !req
548. Is that the "Dominican Republican"?Copy !req
549. It is you, isn't it?Copy !req
550. You know, most peop...Copy !req
551. This is what it takes.Copy !req
552. What you must commit yourself to...Copy !req
553. if you want to succeed.Copy !req
554. Simple.Copy !req
555. Welcome, Mr. Grant.Copy !req
556. We'll let you know
as soon as your flight begins boarding.Copy !req

566. Living amongst the "normies."Copy !req
567. On behalf of Enterprise,
Mr. Malone, have a safe driving day.Copy !req
568. For an active practitioner,
bedroom community adjacent.Copy !req
569. Unusual choice.Copy !req
570. Leo told me she looked like a Q-tip.Copy !req
571. He wasn't far off.Copy !req
572. The wind,
from the west northwestCopy !req
573. at 20 miles an hour.Copy !req
574. Light snow or snow flurries
and continued cold through tomorrow.Copy !req
575. The high today, 28. The low tonight, 15.Copy !req
576. The high tomorrow, 25. West to northwest...Copy !req
577. All right.Copy !req
578. It's common knowledge
when a female is found slain,Copy !req
579. the prime suspect
is always the husband or boyfriend.Copy !req
580. Especially if she hasn't been
sexually assaulted.Copy !req
581. Well, maybe not common knowledge.Copy !req
582. - I don't know if I think it's art, but...
- Okay.Copy !req
583. Wait, wait, wait...Copy !req
584. I've been so good for so long.Copy !req
585. I'm suddenly regretting
not having Häagen-Dazs with every meal.Copy !req
586. - May I bring a menu?
- No menu. Thank you, Carl.Copy !req
587. You won't mind if I have a drink.
A flight of whiskeys, please.Copy !req
588. And my bottle, while you're at it.Copy !req
589. My pleasure.Copy !req
590. By a drink, I mean, of course, many.Copy !req
591. Tell me Hodges is dead, at least.
Give me that.Copy !req
592. Tell me he went horribly.Copy !req
593. Help yourself.Copy !req
594. The chef sends out
anything he imagines I might like.Copy !req
595. This is, uh, his signature dish.
It's delicious.Copy !req
596. You won't find better, even in the city.Copy !req
597. You would be very impolite
to refuse to join in my last supper.Copy !req
598. Afraid it's tainted?Copy !req
599. I'm assuming you've also paid a visit
to a certain overadrenalized Floridian.Copy !req
600. No loss there.Copy !req
601. - Here we are.
- Oh, that was quick.Copy !req
602. May I describe the selection?Copy !req
603. You know, by the time you're finished,
they'd all be gone.Copy !req
604. Cheers.Copy !req
605. You won't imbibe either?Copy !req
606. Christ.Copy !req
607. For what it's worth,Copy !req
608. I would never have involved
your female friend.Copy !req
609. What happened to her, I had no part in.Copy !req
610. I objected to his methods,
and I told him so.Copy !req
611. But you've seen for yourself how...Copy !req
612. receptive...Copy !req
613. You... you get a name, you get an address.Copy !req
614. It's nothing personal.Copy !req
615. We've all had to work
through the occasional civilianCopy !req
616. who's stood between eyes and the prize.Copy !req
617. When I started,
I was surprised at what I was capable of.Copy !req
618. How easy it was.Copy !req
619. Shockingly.Copy !req
620. Yet, I assured myself
there were some things I would never do.Copy !req
621. Money was motivation.Copy !req
622. Which...Copy !req
623. once there was enough,
could be used to buy another life.Copy !req
624. Another lie we told ourselves.Copy !req
625. When, for example, was the last time
you bothered to ask yourselfCopy !req
626. why someone in your sights
was so thoroughly despised?Copy !req
627. Less you know, the better.Copy !req
628. "One man's cruelty
is another man's pragmatism."Copy !req
629. That old chestnut.Copy !req
630. A hunter goes into the woods,Copy !req
631. and he sees this grizzly.Copy !req
632. Biggest he's ever seen.Copy !req
633. He raises his rifle, and he fires.Copy !req
634. The bear falls, the hunter rushes forward,Copy !req
635. and to his surprise,
there's nothing there.Copy !req
636. There's no bear,
there's no broken twigs, there's no blood.Copy !req
637. And then suddenly,Copy !req
638. the grizzly throws this massive arm
around his shoulders and explains,Copy !req
639. "You took your shot."Copy !req
640. "You missed,Copy !req
641. so either I feast, or,Copy !req
642. and the choice is yours,Copy !req
643. I sodomize you."Copy !req
644. Naturally, the hunter chooses life.Copy !req
645. The next day,
the hunter returns to the woodsCopy !req
646. with a much bigger gun,
and he spots the bear again.Copy !req
647. And he aims. He fires. The bear falls.Copy !req
648. The hunter charges.Copy !req
649. No sign of the bear,
until the bear is standing beside him,Copy !req
650. saying, "You know the deal."Copy !req
651. Indignity ensues.Copy !req
652. The following day,
the hunter treks back to the wood.Copy !req
653. This time with a bazooka.Copy !req
654. He sees the bear,
lines him up in his crosshairs, fires.Copy !req
655. The recoil from the bazooka
throws him backwards.Copy !req
656. And he looks up as the smoke's clearing,Copy !req
657. and there's the bear standing above him,
arms crossed.Copy !req
658. And the bear squints.Copy !req
659. "You're not really out here
for the hunting, are you?"Copy !req
660. This could've been a hit-and-run,
carjacking, me falling on the ice.Copy !req
661. And yet, here you are.Copy !req
662. If I screamed right now,
I'd still end up dead.Copy !req
663. You would make it out.Copy !req
664. Most likely.Copy !req
665. But not clean, you wouldn't.Copy !req
666. Why take this risk?Copy !req
667. Desperate for conversation.Copy !req
668. I'm flattered, but no.Copy !req
669. You're here
because you couldn't help yourself.Copy !req
670. You expected to sit across from me
and feel nothing but reassured.Copy !req
671. Like that recent day
when you shouldered your weaponCopy !req
672. and somehow...Copy !req
673. missed.Copy !req
674. How's it possible?Copy !req
675. Having prepared myself
for this moment for so long,Copy !req
676. I have failed to believe
that it would ever arrive.Copy !req
677. How are we?Copy !req
678. We're done. You can take everything.Copy !req
679. Excellent.Copy !req
680. They wouldn't happen to have any ice cream
back there, would they, Carl?Copy !req
681. Oh. Were you interested
in a dessert menu?Copy !req
682. No. No, it's all right.Copy !req
683. Stick to the plan...Copy !req
684. Anticipate, don't improvise.Copy !req
685. Trust no...Copy !req
686. Are we there yet?Copy !req
687. A little further?Copy !req
688. Far be it from me,
but maybe down by the river?Copy !req
689. Wow.Copy !req
690. Last minutes spent knowing
they're last minutes.Copy !req
691. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.Copy !req
692. Who, come to think of it,
at this moment, is you.Copy !req
693. You'll remember our conversation.Copy !req
694. You will.Copy !req
695. When your time does arrive.Copy !req
696. It won't be your life flashing
before your eyes, it'll be mine.Copy !req
697. I suppose it'll be the closest
I can hope to come to haunting you.Copy !req
698. Help a girl out, won't you?Copy !req
699. Trust no one.Copy !req
700. This is what it takes...Copy !req
701. if you want to succeed.Copy !req
702. Risky, this one.Copy !req
703. Considering how police
tend to match their effortCopy !req
704. in direct proportion
to the victim's net worth.Copy !req
705. Fuck it.Copy !req
706. The thing about real wealth,
the more you've got,Copy !req
707. the harder it is
to fade into the wallpaper.Copy !req
708. Of course, vanity plates don't help.Copy !req
709. You've arrived
at your destination.Copy !req
710. I don't think this guy's Mossad.Copy !req
711. I know he ain't Mensa.Copy !req
712. Good luck with the Wordle.Copy !req
713. Leave no loose ends,
nothing to dangle.Copy !req
714. Sayonara, North America.Copy !req
715. If I might get your initials
here and here.Copy !req
716. Dotting that I and crossing that T.Copy !req
717. Perfect.Copy !req
718. Your business with us
is officially closed,Copy !req
719. with everything transferred
to your Caribbean account.Copy !req
720. I do hope we can be of service again
in the near future, Mr. Jefferson.Copy !req
721. May I mention,Copy !req
722. our wealth management advisors
would be more than happy to discussCopy !req
723. our select investment opportunities.Copy !req
724. Interesting.Copy !req
725. Hey. Hey, guys. Not here.Copy !req
726. Guys, keep it moving. Thank you.Copy !req
727. Here you go.Copy !req
728. Browning. Smith & Wesson. Colt.Copy !req
729. You don't see what you want,
I can always get it.Copy !req
730. What's your pleasure, my man?380?Copy !req
731. Good enough for James Bond.Copy !req
732. How about this right here?
Gut-rippin' .38?Copy !req
733. There's the Desert Eagle,Copy !req
734. if you're looking
for something relatively portableCopy !req
735. that can lay down an elk.Copy !req
736. My man knows his way around
a Glock subcompact.Copy !req
737. Brings his own potato.Copy !req
738. Yeehaw, man.Copy !req
739. I like you, slim.
Next gun is half off.Copy !req
740. This is plenty.Copy !req
741. - Want ammo?
- No, thank you.Copy !req
742. No ammo.Copy !req
743. Welcome, Mr. Hartley.Copy !req
744. First time with us, I see.Copy !req
745. Have an excellent workout.Copy !req
746. Brand new.Copy !req
747. Man, I'm sorry.Copy !req
748. Eh.Copy !req
749. That's not insanity.Copy !req
750. What's insane is driving 90 miles
each way to work.Copy !req
751. Right.Copy !req
752. Then going, "This is fucked up.
I hate this. I don't want to do this."Copy !req
753. Then getting in the car the very next day,
driving 90 miles each way to work.Copy !req
754. You're absolutely right.Copy !req
755. I told you.
You don't listen to me.Copy !req
756. You ask, "Yo, Clay.
What about this Bitcoin deal?"Copy !req
757. "Clay, what's a short sell?"Copy !req
758. And I tell you,
and you love that shit.Copy !req
759. - But this... You're not listening.
- I'm listening.Copy !req
760. - So what are we doing?
- Come on. Let's go.Copy !req
761. Oh.Copy !req
762. Let's go to work.Copy !req
763. It's like if you said,
"Let's do laddered intervals."Copy !req
764. And I went, "Huh?"Copy !req
765. "Ladders? I don't wanna do that."Copy !req
766. Who needs a Trojan horse
when you've got Postmates?Copy !req
767. 'Cause everything's airtightCopy !req
768. till the billionaire wants
densuke watermelon.Copy !req
769. They came for you,
and they weren't about to leave a witness.Copy !req
770. I was so afraid,
afraid I might say something.Copy !req
771. I don't know who they are.Copy !req
772. Don't wanna know who you are either.Copy !req
773. Consequences, when someone's
wide of the mark, are automatic.Copy !req
774. - I guess I am begging.
- You picked the wrong house.Copy !req
775. When you shouldered
your weapon, and somehow...Copy !req
776. missed.Copy !req
777. Once I see his eyes,Copy !req
778. I'll have a pretty good idea
how this is gonna go.Copy !req
779. There must be
some applicable tax burden offset.Copy !req
780. And I simply expect to see
heaven and earth moving.Copy !req
781. He— Hey!Copy !req
782. I'm not going to be disappointed in you.Copy !req
783. I'll be disappointed in me
and everyone involvedCopy !req
784. for not having replaced you soon...Copy !req
785. Who the fu...Copy !req
786. How did you...Copy !req
787. Okay.Copy !req
788. Uh... Uh...Copy !req
789. I...Copy !req
790. I'll call you back, Marvin.Copy !req
791. Uh... Uh...Copy !req
792. Gotta call back, Marv.Copy !req
793. I'm fucking hanging up.Copy !req
794. I...Copy !req
795. So nobody gets crazy.Copy !req
796. I didn't notice the, uh...Copy !req
797. I'm all ears.Copy !req
798. Secure building, eh?
Christmas bonuses'll be light this year.Copy !req
799. I, uh...Copy !req
800. I don't keep cash here.Copy !req
801. But I can have some delivered. No?Copy !req
802. Okay, well, what is it exactly
I can do for you?Copy !req
803. I came to show you how easily
one might get to you, Mr. Claybourne.Copy !req
804. And to ask, do you and I have a problem?Copy !req
805. Do we... What? A problem?Copy !req
806. No, of course not.Copy !req
807. Am I supposed to know who you are?Copy !req
808. Because my memory for names
and faces isn't what it used to be.Copy !req
809. All right.Copy !req
810. There's an address.Copy !req
811. It's 3 Rue du Grev...Copy !req
812. I'm still not...Copy !req
813. Oh.Copy !req
814. Oh.Copy !req
815. Wait.Copy !req
816. You.Copy !req
817. I didn't realize.Copy !req
818. Please hear me out.Copy !req
819. To answer your question,
we have no problem.Copy !req
820. I harbor no ill will
about anything that may have happened.Copy !req
821. Or not happened.Copy !req
822. Let me make that crystal clear.Copy !req
823. Right after the, uh... incident,
I received a phone call.Copy !req
824. I was told that things had gone sideways.Copy !req
825. My response was, "Nobody's perfect."Copy !req
826. Now, I did, I admit, inquire as to what
is normally done in these circumstances.Copy !req
827. And they... he, the lawyer fella, Hedges,Copy !req
828. suggested that in this very rare case,Copy !req
829. I might wish to arrange for insurance
to prevent any blowback.Copy !req
830. I remember thinking,Copy !req
831. "Now, why in the world
is this liability mine?"Copy !req
832. I mean, you have to please understand
this entire...Copy !req
833. I was very new to this kind of thing.Copy !req
834. I bled a little ink, so yeah.
Selfishly, I didn't want any blowback.Copy !req
835. And so, eventually,
we agreed that for an additional 150kCopy !req
836. the trail could be scrubbed.Copy !req
837. That was literally all I was told.
"Cleanup on aisle three."Copy !req
838. His words, not mine.Copy !req
839. And so, I made sure
there was enough in escrowCopy !req
840. and never thought about it again.Copy !req
841. Until...Copy !req
842. What I'm trying to say here,
and I can't express this strongly enough,Copy !req
843. I have no issue with you.Copy !req
844. Zero.Copy !req
845. As far as I'm concerned,Copy !req
846. we're good.Copy !req
847. I'm curious.Copy !req
848. I break into your homeCopy !req
849. in the middle of the night
with a silenced pistol,Copy !req
850. and you have no idea why I might be here?Copy !req
851. If I have to come back,Copy !req
852. maybe a radioactive speck
on the lip of your favorite coffee mug.Copy !req
853. A slow death, mind you,
from painful facial necrosis.Copy !req
854. Or a tragic misstep
into your penthouse elevator shaft.Copy !req
855. But I promise,Copy !req
856. I'll find something fitting.Copy !req
857. The need to feel secure.Copy !req
858. It's a slippery slope.Copy !req
859. Fate is a placebo.Copy !req
860. The only life path...Copy !req
861. the one behind you.Copy !req
862. If, in the brief time we're all given,Copy !req
