"the problem with it is because they believe he's worth...." "the problem of the National Football...." "the football from a player...." "that took place." "Those were attitudes...." "there are plenty of rules in play...." "You can go." "Here he is." "right on time." "Good to see you." "Howard." "Clifford Main." "Clifford." "Likewise." "We know all about your work on Sandpiper." "it's a group effort." "the folks at HHM are just knocking it out of the park." "The case wouldn't exist without you." "Absolutely." "you'll know why I call him Charlie Hustle." "Brian Archuleta and Erin Brill." "Nice to meet you both." "Great to meet you." "I hate to do this but could I borrow Ms. Wexler for a moment?" "If you will excuse us...." "Pardon me." "here's the thing." "does that mean the two of us...?" "I mean...." "Does it mean...?" "What?" "What?" "What the hell is this?" "If I take this job today with Davis  Main does that mean that you and me...?" "Is this" " Is this gonna happen?" "Jimmy." "I...." "I...." "One thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other." "Nothing at all?" "No." "why would it?" "Great." "Sorry about that." "for your interest in me." "but at this time" " At this time I'm gonna have to take myself out of the running." "Thanks." "Howard." "Jimmy?" "that was quick." "No charge." "Help me out here." "Did I dream it... 000 on my desk in cash?" "No one on God's green earth knew we had it." "We could've split it fifty-fifty." "000 each tax free." "Your point being?" "Why didn't we?" "I remember you saying something about doing the right thing." "You wanna know why I didn't take that money?" "Is that what you're asking?" "that's what I'm asking." "I was hired to do a job... that's as far as it goes." "well I know what stopped me." "And you know what?" "It's never stopping me again." "ladies." "you should get out once in a while." "have some fun." "I have a business to run." "the business is running you." "Listen to me." "You'll thank me later." "Cucumber water for customer only." "it's me." "Jesus." "Hello?" "Hello?" "It's me." "I got a new car." "You like it?" "We're not taking that to the meet." "How are we gonna get there?" "I'll drive my car." "Why?" "This business requires restraint." "That is the opposite of restraint." "But I like it." "I'm proud of it." "then you be proud of it on your own time." "I'm not getting in that." "then don't." "you don't really do anything." "I've been paying you the salary of three people to just stand behind me." "he's been coming alone." "why do I need you?" "I should just go alone." "I'm throwing" " I'm throwing away money." "Just tossing it away into the trash." "but I'm advising you do not go to that meet without someone watching your back." "of course you're gonna say that." "you don't wanna be out of this easy-peasy job." "but this is the gravy train and it's leaving the station right now." "So last chance." "All aboard." "last chance." "and then I'm-- your services are no longer needed." "No old guy?" "did he break a hip or something?" "right?" "we" " We parted ways." "so...." "You know how it is." "This is interesting." "yeah." "You like it?" "be my guest." "check it out." "Impressive." "Thank you." "feel the leather." "it's a H2." "Brand-new off the line." "more height." "325 horsepower." "so you can have a girl in a bikini... and they're both gonna be comfortable." "You're riding around with two girls in your SUV." "yeah." "Yes." "I'm gonna count this quick." "make sure it's right." "we are good." "Same as before." "Still factory sealed." "you're welcome to count them." "I trust you." "thank you." "See you next time." "Hello." "Yes." "sorry." "so.... not a lawyer." "Bye." "So this is what a midlife crisis looks like?" "Not midlife crisis." "Clarity." "Midlife clarity." "Clarity?" "Clearly explain to me why you walked out on the best job opportunity of your life." "Get in the pool and I'll tell you." "come on." "nothing fancy." "it's 82 degrees." "and you gotta try this crab dip." "Why are you acting like this?" "I'm not acting like anything." "I just finally decided to be me." "Mr. Cumpston?" "Would you like another drink?" "I'm good with this." "Mr. Cumpston." "I'll be in the bar." "Not for long." "check." "quit the law"?" "simple as that." "Jimmy... buddy?" "right?" "The Zafiro Añejo?" "Yeah." "a $50 shot of tequila?" "Is it worth it?" "Apparently." "It's kind of a personal choice thing." "so two." "can't we?" "we can't." "We...." "I am paying." "And he will be having a shot of your well brand and I'll have a glass of your house red." "a pinot and a syrah." "dealer's choice." "Something with alcohol." "You got it." "Jimmy." "Did something happen in Cicero?" "Why did something have to happen?" "you were ready to take the job." "and you're suddenly quitting the law?" "Cheating hotels out of expensive liquor." "Wearing a weird pinkie ring." "are you in the Mafia now?" "Asking if we have a future." "where did that come from?" "I just...." "Cicero has nothing to do with it." "It's my whole life." "Well my life since Chuck made me come to Albuquerque." "all I've done is try to make Chuck happy." "Bend over backwards to please Chuck." "no more." "isn't that exactly what Chuck wants?" "okay?" "I got into the law for all the wrong reasons." "I'm trusting my instincts." "I think that my talents are better spent elsewhere." "Where?" "Floating in somebody else's pool?" "you're a great lawyer." "Why give that up?" "I'm not saying it didn't have its moments." "convincing people I don't have to be a lawyer to do that." "people tell me how they see me..." "...and it's not as a lawyer." "All right." "Here you go." "Thank you." "okay?" "thanks." "Short it." "Short it." "Short it." "Short that shit." "it's got no legs." "It's like a circus freak minus the fun." "That one's even worse." "Who's giving you these?" "Do me a favor." "Take a pillow put it over that stock's face until you hear the deathbed queef." "so?" "It's a loser." "then what?" "Float around and wait for your Sandpiper money to roll in?" "That could take years." "Sandpiper has no bearing on this at all." "what's the plan?" "so no plan." "Just walk the earth?" "Like Jules at the end of Pulp Fiction?" "whatever opportunity arises..." "..." "I will take it." "Whatever opportunity?" "Yeah." "Wasn't Davis  Main an opportunity?" "and you're walking away from it." "Look shouldn't you at least try the job before you say no?" "including my own?" "I appreciate your concern but it's not for me." "I don't want it." "do you remember how long you studied for that bar?" "How hard you worked?" "It's like a burn victim.... you're just gonna toss it away?" "That's the sunk cost fallacy." "The what?" "The fallacy of sunk cost." "they throw good money after bad thinking they can turn their luck around." "I've already spent this much money..." "I gotta keep going!" "there's no reward at the end of this game." "You are making a mistake." "I know you're making a mistake." "I've been doing the "right thing" and where has it gotten me?" "I don't...." "Yeah." "Not my thing." "Not my thing." "Still not my thing." "I don't get it." "I just don't get it." "It's what's right for me." "dude." "Wall Street's for suckers." "Who needs that aggravation?" "I don't." "I can make a million-dollar stock trade on my laptop sitting on a toilet." "shitting gold bricks on my throne." "That's why Spiegelman and Deitch want my business." "I'm a golden god." "Of course I remember." "Who forgets that?" "That fart had the anger of a repressed minority community." "you're gonna give them pinkeye for life." "bro." "brother-man." "check you." "Come with me." "trust me." "What are you gonna do?" "You wanna understand what I'm talking about?" "Follow my lead." "could you settle a bet for us?" "Can I what?" "Sorry... but I kind of was." "We heard you talking about stocks." "so question if you could settle a debate between me and my sister." "We probably shouldn't bother" "I wouldn't normally do this." "But we need an expert." "This guy sounds like he knows his stuff." "here's the question:" "is there a financial limit to how much a person's allowed to invest?" "A limit?" "no limit." "even if it's an inheritance?" "inheritance taxes and whatnot?" "fantastic." "no limit." "too." "Sticking it all in the bank?" "No." "just make sure you diversify." "diversify." "That's" " We gotta" " Hey... diversify"?" "diversify is" " You know the saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket"?" "Right?" "Same principle." "Makes complete sense." "Thank you." "ballpark I could give you examples of smart diversification." "Yeah." "an uncle on our father's side recently passed and he left us somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.4 million." "but I think if we invest it smart now... triple it... right?" "In my opinion?" "man." "I can give you a consult." "we'll do it ourselves through an online brokerage site." "I think they're called blue chip stocks." "yeah." "You can totally do it yourself." "Shoot for the tried and true." "Andrea Doria Corky Romano." "Right?" "They all seemed rock solid beforehand." "But then.... yeah." "So how do you know?" "that's where someone like myself comes in." "Proven track record as a wealth manager." "I take calculated but aggressive risks... and I do." "I'm practically a money-printing machine." "That sounds good." "A money-printing machine." "we can talk." "we can just rap about this a little bit." "I guess." "Yeah?" "sis?" "Can we just talk?" "it's no-- with a K." "Viktor with a K." "And this lovely lady is?" "It's Giselle." "Giselle Saint Claire." "Lovely." "sit." "I won't bite." "exotic names." "Boer to be precise." "Our father's side of the family is from South Africa which is where Uncle Humphrey passed away." "right?" "Charlize Theron." "well." "but hope to go someday." "when I'm done with you..." "...you might take your own private jet." "Nice." "hi." "We are sitting here now." "We could use a wine list if you get a chance-- are you a tequila fan?" "Yes." "You down for that?" "You ever try Zafiro Añejo?" "but I'm down for whatever." "Three of whatever she just said." "You got it." "All right." "a great investment and you're picking the right time to jump in." "Why do you listen to him?" "He's an idiot." "He talks about his cars." "He talks about...." "How many cars did he have?" "I don't think...." "Ken." "yeah." "Compliments of the bartender." "Thought you might want a souvenir." "we didn't." "cheers." "I think we're ready for the check." "it's a smart way to go." "so to be clear you take the money directly from our account..." "...and invest it" "Diversify it." "Diversify it." "And then all the dividends and all the profits and the what-have-you comes back into our account." "Absolutely." "You'll get a statement showing how much your money is growing... buddy let's do this." "Great." "you are next." "This is so exciting." "it's been a pleasure." "I got that." "what?" "Ken." "You are the greatest." "Thank you." "No problemo." "This will be the best decision you'll make." "We should get out of your hair." "this... that's got all my contact info." "or anything at all." "Ken." "Bye." "guys." "Bye." "Try and stop us." "Just wow." "Hey." "What--?" "it is." "go!" "Zafiro Añejo!" "Shut up." "He's gonna come out." "I didn't read the fine print." "Wait!" "Yeah!" "Holy crap." "I can't" "Can I borrow that when you're done?" "that's gross." "How is it gross?" "Our germs have already intermingled." "it's different." "Why is it different?" "Because." "and there's cold sores...." "All sorts of food and weird" "Come on." "What?" "No!" "I'll do it right now." "I don't care." "I need to brush my teeth." "I don't have an extra." "That's fine." "I got this." "me too." "Wait till you see what I floss with." "That's a keeper." "Viktor with a K." "wouldn't it be great if we could do that every night?" "it would." "But we can't." "I know." "Yeah." "if we could it would be great." "But I know we can't." "I can't be late today." "Howard is doling out assignments and the last one through the door could get stuck in Doc Review." "You got somewhere to go?" "I got somewhere." "You good?" "all good." "this is Officer Saxton." "come on in." "it's over here." "See what they did?" "all gone." "All of them." "Just" "What's all gone?" "I have" " I had a baseball card collection." "all stolen." "Sorry to hear that." "Was it common knowledge that you have baseball cards?" "not really." "So nobody in particular you can think of wanted them?" "not that I" " No." "How'd they get in?" "The back door over here." "It was open when I came home for lunch." "it was locked but they must have jimmied it open or something." "What time you figure this happened?" "came home for lunch at 12:30..." "...and called you immediately." "Was anything else taken?" "a fair bit." "How much cash?" "let's focus on what's important here." "all I really care about are my baseball cards." "I have a Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card that's irreplaceable." "90-10 on the reverse." "I can go on." "All my cards are in top-loaders but if they're taken out and exposed to the elements..." "God forbid... you're looking at a 9-point downgrade in a matter of seconds." "I understand the first 48 hours are most important in investigations like this... the less likely we are of a recovery." "guys." "Mr. Wormald." "Good." "They really tossed this place." "Are you sure they weren't looking for anything else?" "Like what?" "I don't know." "Just wondering your thoughts." "I assume more baseball cards." "Did you have more than the ones in the case here?" "in back." "Thousands." "But these were the crown jewels over here." "the all-star lineup." "Right." "What?" "Just trying to make sense of it." "What's to make sense of?" "isn't it as simple as the perp was looking for more baseball cards?" "Or hopped up on speed or whatever and went nuts with the vandalism?" "yeah." "Pretty sweet Hummer parked in the driveway." "That yours?" "that's mine." "It's a lease." "Got a great deal on it." "It's very sweet." "They say Arnold Schwarzenegger's the reason that Hummers exist." "but that's what they say." "No kidding?" "Mr. Wormald?" "I work IT for a pharmaceutical company." "computers." "I should've gotten into computers." "I'd have that same Hummer." "Right." "I'm glad you like my car but I think we're looking through the wrong end of the telescope here." "The priority is my baseball cards." "Of course." "I have a detailed manifest of my entire collection and asterisks next to the high-ticket items." "It's clear which ones they'll try to fence first... super valuable." "collectors." "Question anyone who's done any sort of crime like this in the past." "the usual suspects." "Can I get you the list so you can start investigating?" "I'll print it out." "mint." "my signed Derek Jeter." "O-Pee-Chee." "keep breathing." "right?" "Left the TV..." "..." "left the computer." "Right." "There's something wrong with this picture." "it's me." "Another perfect day in paradise out here." "I'm in the pool." "call me." "did you get lunch?" "I did." "really?" "great." "you're all red back here." "Yeah." "I feel stupid." "I told you not to spend so much time in the sun." "You don't listen." "it's me again." "not 25 feet away from me I'm looking at the mark." "Think Thurston Howell III if he shacked up with Ginger." "He's dripping in Gucci." "It's like I'm at the watering hole... slowest water buffalo... and I'm the lioness ready to strike." "join me." "Join the pride." "I said "lioness" because it's the females who do all the hunting." "I just wanted to be species-accurate... it's a National Geographic thing." "Anyway get out here." "Bye." "New Mexico." "Davis  Main." "you can connect me." "There are a few options on the company cars." "We can arrange a test drive whenever you'd like." "wow." "wherever you want." "it's not a big deal to change it out." "That sounds really...." "Yeah." "This is interesting." "if this isn't to your taste we have a collection of art in-house you can choose from." "I can put together some samples for you to review." "I" " I" " I like this." "I'm here to help." "dietary needs." "Anything special you want stocked in the fridge?" "Maybe a humidifier?" "I'm pretty low maintenance." "I'm right outside the door." "Great." "If I think of anything." "Okay." "do you think...?" "I'm just looking at this." "Do we get a choice of desks?" "What were you thinking?" "Is it possible...?" "Can we do a cocobolo?" "Cocobolo desk?" "Absolutely." "I'll get right on that."
