"We risk our lives for $500." "What the hell happened?" "I don't know!" "Why are we still letting her run shit?" "She just uses us to get what she wants." "We want more of a say in what jobs we do." "I'm the mother, so that makes me the boss." "From now on, you do whatever you think is right." "I wanna stay." "Best be careful, man, okay?" "Mommy!" "Lena, this is Daddy's friend, Lucy." "Her mother left her, you're banging some woman that she's never seen before in her mother's bedroom." " You two a thing now?" " I don't know." "Why don't you come stay at the house for a little while?" "I'm Amy." "I run a Bible study." "You should come sometime." "Baz is gonna come to you in a little while." "I'd be careful not to let that boy's recklessness come back and hit me in the face if I were you." "He wants to see you." "He's running out of time." "On my own terms." "May we all get what we want..." "And never what we deserve." "When we get there," "I'm gonna need you to watch my back." "At a funeral?" "And keep your mouth shut." "We're going to pay our respects and leave." "So this, this Manny guy, when was the last time you saw him?" "20 years ago maybe." "Yeah." "Hey, man, where are you?" "My place." "Why?" "I need a favor." "I'm down in Mexico." " I'm gettin' stuff for the job." " Yeah?" "How's Lucy?" "Smurf took off out of town and she won't say where." "I'm supposed to pick up Lena after school." "Well, if you leave now, no hassle at the border." " You'll make it." " No, Pope." "I can't." "I can't." "Can you help me out?" "Can you pick her up?" "Look, the shit I said..." "When should I tell Lena you'll be back?" "Tomorrow." " Hey, where the hell is Marco?" " He's coming." "Carlos, don't shove the chayote around the plate, por favor." "Ya te dije, eat it." "You okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "When do you think he's gonna get here?" "Is this how you always get before a job or just this one?" " This one being..." " Yeah, first without Smurf." "It has to go smoothly." "Show her it's real, that you're handling things now." "Every job has to go smoothly." "Marco's here." " Hey." " Hey, man." " What's up?" " Hola." " ¿Cómo está?" " Bien, bien." " Hey, hola, Tio Marco." "" "Hola." " You ready?" " Yeah, let's do it." "Let's go." " Ciao." " Bye." "Thought Smurf didn't want you doing anything with me?" "Well, Smurf's not in charge anymore." "Since when?" "Hey." "Come on in." "So I actually want you to start it off 'cause I feel like you're gonna have the best read on it." "Okay." "Loved this place." "My friends and I used to sneak in here before we were legal." "Yeah, it's a great beach dive." "You know, just good cheap beer and no bullshit." " That's how I'm gonna keep it." " Love that." "Yeah, I'm gonna open up this room a bit." " Lose the drop ceiling." " In a week?" "Yeah, you gotta get earning', man." "No, I'm just sayin', that's..." "That's a lot of work." " You both the owners?" " Yeah." "No, it's just me." "Technicality." "Like the fire pits down in San Onofre." " Back in the day." " Yep." "That's what I'm going for." "The feel of those Friday nights before this place got taken over by all the Newport money and tourists." "Speaking of Fridays," "I had sex in that bathroom with Jeff McNoughton." " Okay." " Whoa." "You're hired." "What?" "She's got history here." "So you a sink girl or a stall girl?" " I'm..." "I'm a sink guy." " Okay, Jesus, man." "Definitely a sink girl." "I can tell." "I can tell." "Okay, all right." "That's good." "Thanks, bud." "So how long have you bartended for?" " Seven years." " Seven years." "Barback, two." "I can text you guys my references." "Yeah." "That'd be great." "Yeah." "Yeah, that would be great." "I'll walk you out." "Okay." "Um, so if everything works out, you think you could, start next week?" " Yeah." " Cool." "Got your liquor license yet?" "Temporary one with the lease." "But I'm getting the real one tomorrow." " I have an interview, so..." " It's a shitload of red tape." "My ex tried to get one and couldn't, but then he had a record." "Shit." "Yeah." "I'm sure it'll be fine." "Yeah." "I'll get you those references." "Great." " See you next week." " Yeah." " I hope." " Later, sink girl." "I like her." "Well, II think the most important part is..." "Is the first part." "God is faithful." "Right?" "Because no matter what we do even when we stop listening," " He's there." " Praise God." "Right." "Right." "So His love is unconditional." "Exactly." "Yes." "That's not the point of the verse." "What do you think it is, Andrew?" "The end part." "God is faithful." "He will not let you be tried beyond what you are able to bear but with the trial will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to endure it." "That's the part that matters..." "How we can bear anything if we have to." "Right." "Because he loves you." "So II guess we're both right." "It doesn't say that." "It just says He'll get you through." "The beauty of the Gospel is the meaning can be clear" " to each of us..." " That's right." "In a very different way." "Yes." "Amen." " Yeah." " Right." "Hey." "I heard you drive in." "I thought I'd check in on ya." "What are those for?" "Me and Deran we, we bought a bar." "What?" "Yeah, it's a total dive, but we're gonna make it cool." "That's why I haven't been texting you 'cause been working our balls off." "Gutting it and, you know, all the rest." "Can I come see it?" "Sure, when it's... done." "You know, Smurf and J are outta town." "We've got the whole house to ourselves." "Yeah, II gotta get back." "Come over tonight." "They won't be back." "We're gonna be workin' all night, so..." " Yeah, I get it." " Yeah?" "Thanks, everyone." "See you all next week." " Good night, Amy." " Bye, Jaymie." "Hey." "The church is having a kids' softball game tomorrow at Capistrano Park." "You wanna come?" "Bring lunch?" "Lena could play." "Text me if you wanna." "I can pick you guys up." "Watch your back in there, baby." "Manny's crew have always been a bunch of scumbags." "Hey." "Stop." "This is my grandson, J." " Good to meet you." " You, too." "Jake and I used to work with Manny before he left California." "Met your grandma when she was your age." "Yeah?" "What was she like?" "Sexy and tough as shit." "Go grab us a beer." "I'll take that." "My beer." "Manny wasn't lying when he said he needed the cash." "Before he got sick, Manny's crew wanted Javi out." "Javi's running jobs for now..." "Drugs, girls, guns." "Manny's crew all bitch about him." "Say he's a sick piece of shit." "He beat one of his guys to death." "Left him in the yard with his dogs till there was nothing left." "Shit." "What you doin'?" "Research for the liquor license and a business plan for the inspector." "I got a business plan for you." " Yeah?" " Sell booze, make money." " That's great." " Yeah?" "Yeah, that's real helpful." "I'll put that down." "You know, I'm thinking we should do aan after hours." "Get known for it, make it a thing." "Yeah, and what?" "Get shut down immediately?" "Do you have any idea how serious this is?" "I mean, it's even... it's on me if some asshole gets drunk and gets in his car, so..." "All right." "So, we gonna do this or what?" "Yeah, soon as I'm finished." "All right." "Hey, hey." "Stop, stop!" "What are you doing?" "What?" "Are you kidding me, man?" "I said that wall." "Not this wall." "Jesus." "When is Daddy coming back?" "Tomorrow." "Hopefully." "Come on." "Let's get you something to eat." "Seriously, man." "What's your problem?" "You're tense as shit." "This is supposed to be fun." "II got a record, man." "I..." "It's up to this inspector whether" "I get the license or not." "And I don't know if..." "Dude, plenty of excons have bars." "He could turn me down, man." "I don't know." "So just look him in the eye, tell him you have a record, and slide him some cash." "He's a liquor inspector, man." "He's not doing it for the glory." "All Smurf's buildings, all the palms she's greased worked for her, didn't it?" "Yeah, maybe." "Come on." "Here." "All right, you stupid mermaid." "Whoa!" "Go ahead and eat, man." "So you, um, you live with Smurf?" "Ever since my mom died." "And she took you in?" "She ever..." "She ever talk about me?" "I haven't been there all that long." "I'm sorry about your dad, by the way." "Manny." "Nah, he wasn't my dad." "What's she really doing here?" "What do you mean?" "Smurf." "What's she want?" "Enjoy your meal." "I heard you showed." "I had to see it for myself." "Never thought he'd go so fast." "Yeah, well, there was nothing fast about it." "I made that clear the other night." "Here's a little something to help pay for the day." "What?" "Is this how you fix things?" "Nothing to fix, baby." "Just paying my respects." "I always loved that smell." "Reminds me of those Sunday nights out by your pool." "You'd bring out all that food, and I'd eat till my stomach hurt, just to see you smile." "We all would..." "Manny, Jake, my dad." "It was back when you called us a family." "You know, I heard you..." "the night my dad took off." "You and Manny were fighting on the street about what to do with me." "You were a 10yearold kid, Javi." "You don't know what you heard." "You told him to throw me out like I was a piece of trash is what I heard." "Is that what I said?" "Why'd you come?" "Pay my respects to an old friend." "That's a bunch of bullshit." "Why you really here?" "Who you looking for?" "You take good care of yourself now, Javi, okay?" "I'm keeping this, by the way." "It was always mine." "So Smurf retired?" "How'd that happen?" "She'd lost a step, and it was time." "So who's running things now?" "Me and Pope." "Pope?" "You mean you're running things." "So what's up?" "Is there any opportunities?" "You and me?" "Like the old days?" "Nah, man." "I don't do that shit anymore." "It's too risky." " I'm not talkin' drugs, man." " What, then?" " Tourists." " Tourists?" "Yeah." "Jewelry." "I got a couple guys working hotels." "It's a good operation." "Could move a lot more if I could fence some of the bigger pieces to your contacts up north." "I'm already into something, Marco." "What do you think I'm doing here?" " It's not a job." "It's easy cash." " What is it, then?" "What, what?" "What?" "I've got this bracelet." "20 grand." "Go to your fence, take 20%." " 30." " Marco, it's not the cut." "Eso todo." "Good?" "Let's see." "Ba ba ba ba ba." "Looks good." "How much?" " Mil cien." " $1,100." " Yeah?" "Gracias." " Gracias." "Why are you doing that?" "Because it's important to keep your stuff in order, Lena." "Remember I said that." "That lady, Amy, remember her?" "She's coming by tomorrow to take us to a softball game." "Does that sound fun?" "Sure." "The sun blinds them." "If it doesn't get up, Mommy hits them with a brick." "You know, so it doesn't hurt anymore." "How long does it usually take..." "to know if it's gonna get up?" "Not long." "I don't think it's getting up." "You don't have to look." "Is Carlos asleep?" "Finally." "He said he likes you being here." "I told him not to get used to it." "Yeah, good." "Wouldn't want him to." "Did you get everything you needed today from Eduardo?" " Yeah." "Yeah, I did." " Good." "Hey, did Marco told you something about a bracelet?" "Yeah." "The whole pitch." "The hotels, everything." "Yeah." " That's so stupid." "God." " What?" "He just... he has to play the big man with you every single time." "Can't just..." " Can't just tell you the truth." " What's the truth?" "What?" " II think he's in trouble." " What kind of trouble?" "I don't know exactly." "I'm not sure." "It just seems like he needs some cash, and so I'm afraid he's gonna unload that thing somewhere he shouldn't." " The bracelet?" " Yeah." "I mean, do you want me to sell it?" "I can sell it." "No." "I know you don't trust him." "I don't trust your brother." "You don't trust your brother." "That's not true." "Look, why don't I take it?" "I have to talk to one of our fences anyhow." "Why don't I take the bracelet, see what she can do with it?" " How 'bout that?" " Are you sure?" "Yeah, it's not a big deal." "That Javi guy... he said that, he said that Manny wasn't his dad." "No." "Javi's dad was some guy who used to pull jobs with us until he ripped us off and left town with all the money." "Give me a minute." "Well?" "Time I left, Javi's guys were so wasted, they were fighting each other." "They're idiots." "Did you talk to anyone, get a sense of what..." "There's something." "Manny's memory was goin'." "His doctor told him to record shit to help him remember." "Like what?" "Like anything that came into his head." "Names he remembered." "A few of these guys say that's all he did at the end." "Just sit, saying shit into one of the mini tape recorders." "You sure you can't come over?" "I've got the whole place to myself." "I'm going to a movie with my parents and little sister." "Some animated thing." "Family date night." " Ouch." " Trust me, I know." "Later." "Okay, bye." "Don't get that gross skin on it." "I know how to warm up milk." "Smurf used to do it for me, too, when I couldn't sleep, except she used the microwave, which was cheating." "Is Mommy dead?" "What?" "There's no reason to think that." "Where is she?" "I don't know, but... but she wouldn't want you to be sad." "I am sad." "Why isn't Daddy sad?" "Your... your dad is sad." "He's..." "He's secret sad." "My dad left when I was little, and I'm okay." "You will be, too." "So you and Manny ran the crew?" "Manny ran it." "Baby, I was only 16 years old when I met him." "I'd just done a 5day stint in county on shoplifting." "Had no money, no food." "Manny found me." "Taught me." "Ooh, we did some crazy shit back in the day." "My favorite was when we were low on cash." "Manny would take me to a store." "I'd go in first." "He'd come in behind me like he didn't know me." "Put a gun to my head." "Everyone would stop and stare at the skinny little blonde girl." "They'd try to save her with their wallets." "So what happened then?" " Like, what do you mean?" " I mean, like, how did you go from being so close with Manny to never seeing him again?" "Sometimes things go wrong, J." "20 years wrong?" "Listen." "You remember what they were all saying about Manny at the end?" "The way he was, laying in his bed, babbling' bullshit all day long?" "That ever happens to me, you put a bullet in my head." "Okay." "Swear!" "Say, "Grandma, that ever happens to you"," "I'll put the bullet in your head."" "I'll put a bullet in your head." "Beautiful boy." "What the hell is Smurf up to?" "She want you to move back or somethin'?" "I'm not moving back." "I'm not." "Hey, does Nicky know about this place?" "Yeah." "All right, well, she'd better keep her mouth shut." "I don't want Smurf to know till we open." "Relax, man." "I mean, Smurf's gone somewhere, and I'll tell Nicky not to say anything." "And what's the matter if Smurf knows?" " She's gonna know eventually." " Not till we open." "'Cause when we open, it'll be real, and it's gonna be mine," "Not something she can take." "Nicky again?" "I can't do this anymore." "I'm gonna break up with Nicky." "Rip the bandaid off." "There you go." "Should've done it a while ago." "I told you we'd find something open." "Go ahead and get us a seat." "I gotta get something from the truck." "Thank you." "Do exactly as I say and nobody's gonna get hurt." "Okay?" "Get the cash out the register right now." "Hurry up." "Move your asses." "Go." "You." "Take the bag." "Everybody, get your phones and your wallets out, okay?" "I want you to put it in the bag." "Do exactly as I say, and nobody's gonna get hurt." " Don't get any ideas." " Come on." "Let's go." "You, you, you." "Get everything out." "Put it in the bag." "Let's go." "Put it in there!" "Come on!" "Sorry." "You think I won't use this?" "Get it in the bag." "Let's go." "Come on!" " Whoo!" " Whoohoohoo!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Go, go, go, go, go, now!" "Yes!" "Yes, baby!" "Yes." "Whoo!" "Toss the phones!" " Whoohoohoo!" " Aah!" "Aah!" "You crazy bastard." "In an opencarry state." "You are one beautiful baby." "You're a natural." "Not like the other boys." "I had to teach them everything, every single thing." "You feel that rush?" "You feel it?" " You feel the rush, baby?" " Yeah." "You know what it feels like now?" "Do you?" "You are fearless." "Like you." "We need to talk, Nicky." "Yeah, we do." "Yeah, okay, so..." "What did my dad do with you guys?" "It had to do with the base, didn't it?" "Pendleton?" "The last few months, after my dad was, like, besties with Baz for, like, a second." "He got weird." "Hardly sleeping." "How much did you pay him?" "I bet it was a lot." "Yeah, okay." "What if he did do something with us?" "He's such a goddamn coward." "I know that's why he left and went to Guam." "But I'm not a coward." "The fire?" "If I wasn't there, you'd be dead." "If I didn't get rid of the drugs, you'd be in jail." "And you like it when your dick's in my mouth, so you really need to stop treating me like a little kid!" "All right." "Okay, so what'd you want to talk about?" "Just don't tell Smurf about the bar, okay?" "Okay." "You know, I'm tired and drunk, and I'd kind of like to have sex." "Me, too." "Deran Cody?" "Yeah." "Sir." "Brian Mills." "Nice to meet you." "You got your work cut out for you?" "Yeah." "You ever own a business before?" "How'd you finance this?" "Business loan?" "Savings." "And where do you work?" "As a property manager for my family's buildings." "Your, your taxes show that?" "Yeah." "Would this help for my 220?" "Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to do the front page thing." "But it, you know, basically kind of lays out what I'm gonna do." "No." "I don't need that." "Okay." "But you know what the 220 is?" "It's the report you're doing on me." "You have done your research." "I have a record." "When I was 22, I stole a car," "I did five months at East Mesa, a year probation and..." "Extenuating circumstances?" "Nobody made me do it, if that's what you're asking." "Why did you do it?" "When I was 18, II surfed competitively, and, you know, I qualified for the West Coast championship at Avalanche Beach." "My family thought I really had a shot, you know?" "My brother basically quit school to drive me to competitions." "And..." "I turned 20 and it looked like I was gonna get sponsored, and then it kind of flamed out." "After that, I didn't think I'd have a shot at anything on my own again, and..." "I just did a lot of stupid shit." "So..." "You know what moral turpitude is?" "I'm guessing it's not a good thing." "I have to assess the likelihood of you committing acts of it." "When we send inspectors, we don't tell you." "Everything by the book." "Don't give me a reason to turn you down." "I won't." "And thank you for not giving me some story about being wrongly accused or trying to bribe me." "You wouldn't believe how many people we turn down for that." "No shit." " No shit." " That's crazy." " Better get back to work." " Yeah." " Yeah, I will." " All right, be good." " Thank you, thank you." " You bet." "Come on, baby." "Time to go home." " This isn't how it should look." " No." "Hey." " Hi." " Ruby's okay?" "You didn't get my message?" "No." "II didn't get it." "Hey." "Um, can we talk in private?" " I'll just be a second, okay?" " Okay." "You all right?" "Yeah, it's just, um..." "You might hear something at the game about me." "I have a son..." "Christopher." "He's 8." "I lost custody of him." "I had an accident with him in the car." "I had been drinking." "He was okay..." "Eventually, but, um..." "I'm still working at forgiving myself." "I just..." "I know how close you are with Lena, so I understand if you can't see past it." "What happened to your hand?" "I burned myself." "Lena's trying to make pancakes." "I think... we should put the food out that you brought." " What's up, Gia?" " Look who's here!" " Bazzy boy." " How's it goin'?" " You're a sight for sore eyes." " And you're lookin' good." "And you know what to say." "Well, that's true." "How's it goin'?" "All right." " You remember Monica?" " Yeah, of course." "So... to what do I owe the pleasure?" "Hi." "A couple things." "A friend of mine is trying to sell this." "Yeah." "Take a look." "She's better with emeralds." "I know." "Well, it's a beauty." "Very few inclusions." "Patterns in the stones that look like moss." "Whoever cut this was skilled." "What do you think you can get for that?" "I don't know." "Have to make a few calls." " I'll let you know." " Okay." "I'm gonna have some credit card numbers in a couple weeks." "I'm thinking 300 to 400." "Security codes, solid credit limits." "You can make some good money off of them." "Cards are risky." "You've never had a problem with credit cards before." "What are you talkin' about?" "What's the issue here?" "What am I missing?" "Smurf told you not to work with us, didn't she?" "Gia, I thought you were smarter than this." "From here on in, who do you think is gonna bring you more business?" "Who?" "Think about it." "I can't help you, Baz." "He's here." "Remember what I told you." "Don't talk about the lady from the church." " Hello?" " He returns!" " Daddy." " Hey, sweetie." "How are ya?" "How's it goin'?" "You're good?" "You have fun with Uncle Pope?" "Yeah, he's a fun guy, isn't he?" "Thanks for watching her." "Can I talk to you outside for a minute?" "Yeah." "You weren't pissing around in Mexico." "No." "Any of this stuff gets left on site, it's better I bought it over the border." "It's less traceable." "But, man, we got a problem." "I went by Gia's to talk about the credit cards." "Smurf got to her." "I called Smurf's guy in San Pedro, same thing." "They will not do business with us." "A third of our take at the church could be credit cards." "Yeah, no, shit." "If not more." "We're gonna have a small window before they get reported." "We need to have a buyer in place that night." "Find a new buyer." "Pope, in two weeks?" "Not happening." "Gia was hustling antiques on the strand before Smurf found her." "Smurf made Gia off of jobs we pulled." "Maybe that's it." "What?" "We don't find a new fence, we make one." "Hey, get in here, man." "We wanna be on schedule, we gotta get all these down by the end of the night." "Yeah." "How'd it go with the liquor inspector?" " Good." "Kinda." "Yeah." " Told you." "Nothing that cash can't solve." "Yeah." "How'd Nicky take it?" "You broke up with her, right?" "Yeah.." "Didn't really go like that." "Whatever, man." "She's a cool chick." "That's all." "Hey." " She left for the day." " I'm not here to see Gia." "You want me to talk to her?" "It won't work." "No, I know she won't listen to you." "I see the way she talks to you." "Believe me, I get it." "I was under Smurf's thumb for 20 years." "I get it." "What do you want?" "Every time I come in here, you're the one that does the work, which means, you know the buyers." "No, I, I've been with Gia a long time and..." "Yeah, and I was loyal to Smurf, too." "Look where it got me." "But then, maybe Gia's different." "Maybe she has your best interests at heart." "Look, in two weeks, I'm gonna have 400 credit card numbers." "You know someone that can handle that?"
