Okay, I'll bite. What is it?

Inger Sleepwear.

It's the right of the overnight meal from Sweden.

I'm having trouble sleeping, man. What do you do, wear it?

No, I need the scent.

I mean, some people need total darkness, some people need white noise. I need

this. So, Oda Inger, and you sleep like a baby, huh? Better than a baby.

That's Inger, all right.

Does this qualify as a psychological disorder or just merely a fetish? Hey,

just one sniff and I'm already drowsy.

Hey!

Stop!

Stop! Stop!

What are you doing? Stop!

Stop!

Hey!

Hey!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

How are you?

Well,

you can pretend that Inger raped a vat guard.

Thanks.

Big emergency.

Your star witness, Marsha Norris, should just be canted.

They got to her?

Yeah. We're screwed.

They're going to walk.

I'll talk to her.

Too late.

All rise.

Honorable Judge Helen O 'Brien is entering the courtroom.

This court is now in session.

Be seated.

Is the defense ready to proceed?

Your Honor, in light of Miss Norris' recanting of her testimony, we request a

directed verdict.

Your Honor, the defendants are charged with a heinous murder. The jury should

allowed to hear this case.

The people in this case have not met their burden of proving guilt beyond a

reasonable doubt.

Therefore, much as it sickens me to do it, I am issuing a directed verdict of

not guilty.

This case is closed.

Those bastards killed my father! Sit down, sir. You deserve to be punished.

Sit down.

You need to sit down, sir.

All right.

Bailiff.

Order. No justice now. No justice.

You can't do this to me.

They're the killers.

This is insane.

I don't like it any better than you do, Derek.

Good night.

The man in me wanted to pile on. Ditto.

I don't have time to talk to you now. Excuse me, I thought we had this worked

out. Protective custody in exchange for your testimony? I'm sorry.

You're sorry? You just left three stone cold killers back out on the street.

Right.

Some guy called my sister, okay?

Said he would torture her son.

Said he would kill him if I went up on that stand and told what I saw.

I never asked to be a part of this.

But you are a part of it.

And if you were on the other side of this thing, you'd hope that somebody

be out there to help you.

Why didn't you tell me about your sister?

I could protect her and her son.

I have five brothers and sisters, Captain. Over a dozen nieces and

are you going to protect them all?

Any way I can.

No, I'm sorry.

I don't want your protection. I want anything but my life back.

Come on.

Go.

Oh, I heard you ran into a little party over at the courthouse.

Murphy's Law. Hi, baby. What you gonna do about it?

Get him next time.

Did you see that?

No.

What was that?

What? That.

She just gave you a donut.

Well, she's not allowed to give me a donut now. She can, she just never does.

Well, today she did.

Did you want a donut? No, I hate donuts. But I would like to know why you gave

him one.

Oh.

Okay.

Joe and I are partnering on a business venture.

Now, this doesn't really involve you, Nash, so I would appreciate it if you

would keep your disapproval down to a dull roar.

Please tell me you're just kidding.

Hey, that's exactly what he said you'd say.

Did he also happen to mention that this is about his $3 billion scheme?

And do you know why it's his $3 billion scheme?

Because the other $2 ,999 ,000 ,000 were failures.

Please do not worry yourself about this, okay?

I will be fine.

I'm worried about you.

Good enough you love me, Miss Hill? You know, I'll tell you what, Ross, I'm

going to come back later. No problem.

Looks like we just saved you from a strip search. Yeah, well, I remember in

school I only needed two keys, one for my apartment and one for my car, and

uh... Yeah, tell me about it. Life gets complicated.

Yes, it does.

Uh, what happened to you? You cut out before we had a chance to talk. I had to

get out of there. I, uh, I'm too close to this thing, you know? I want to go

after these guys, uh, for witness tampering.

It's going to be a tough case to make, especially if your primary witness

doesn't want to cooperate.

Good, so you guys will help me?

Oh, wait, wait, wait. Come on, please.

Look, Joe's right. This is going to be a tough case to make, and I'm going to

need the best. You guys are the best. Oh, yeah, good.

Flattery will do nothing for you here, Roxy.

Fine, then I'll call in a chip.

Oh, yeah.

We owe you.

Actually,

we do.

What for?

The Parker case.

That was you? Yeah, I asked Nash to promise to keep my name out of it.

That was her.

Believe it or not.

Okay, so it's your turn.

All right.

We'll help you.

We'll do what we can.

Then that makes her a demon, sister.

Hello, Nash.

Marcia Norris.

Harvey. You're gonna hate this one.

Some creep wanted to make sure she got real dead. Seven shots in all.

Tell me you got something.

Slugs and shells. No witnesses, no prints, no weapon. She could have put

away and now she's dead.

What a waste.

All right, work it, Harb. As always.

God knows we got enough people with motivation.

Look, Matt, this is a total misunderstanding.

I'm sure it is.

Have a seat.

Is this absolutely necessary?

You know the drill.

Yeah, thanks.

Appreciate it.

What's up?

How you doing?

I'm having a bad day. Yeah.

What happened to you?

I'm tending bar, right?

The guy comes in, the manager, and he accuses me of stealing.

So then he picks a fight, then he calls the cops.

Bad break.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Hi. Professor Kane, sociology, class semester.

Yeah, I remember.

Front row girl.

Yeah, sorry I wouldn't fall asleep. Not because of the material.

You know, 8 a .m. Oh, it's all right. I'm only the T .A. I don't take it

personally.

Oh, would you like to join me? Yeah, thanks.

Can't you get one some reading?

I read literally everything.

Magazines, bestsellers.

Graphic comics.

I'm a pop culture junkie.

It's a curse.

No, it's not. The day that you taught is the only day I understood anything.

I don't believe that. You're always the first person to raise their hand.

Panic.

What? I have a phobia about public speaking, so I thought if I just raise

hand right away, maybe they won't call on me.

But as I recall, you got an A.

Mine. I lucked out.

No, actually, I read your final paper.

It wasn't luck.

Now you're making me blush.

You. You got one phone call.

Let me know when you're done.

So what are you doing now? Well, I was going to head to the library.

Why?

I just had this great meeting with my advisor about my dissertation.

Yeah? Would you like to take a walk with me?

You mean go to the bookstore?

Shakespeare's Muse.

Yeah. I love that play.

Oh, I'm ringing.

Thanks. Hello?

Hey, Cassidy.

It's me.

Listen, I really can't talk right now.

No, no, no. Don't hang up. Don't hang up.

You're my one phone call.

Assuming Marsha Norris' murder wasn't some kind of fluky coincidence, I think

we're looking at four pretty drunk candidates for the long walk.

And Trevor and Derek Liu.

Derek is my number one, actually. He's my one and only.

I mean, he bailed out an hour before Marsha was killed.

She lied on the witness stand. She let father's murderer escape. I mean, what

more motive could you really need?

Less than most cases.

Besides, I mean, what's really in it for these three?

They're already free forever on a murder they did commit. Why risk it?

Because they knew they'd be going back to jail if it made them on that felony

witness tampering. Get away with it once, maybe it goes to their heads.

I'm going to need a list of everybody that was in that courtroom today.

Bailiffs, jurors, press people, gallery geeks, the work.

You think our pool of fours is not big enough?

I could be wrong.

I'll get that together.

Pull a warrant on Lincoln.

Lives on Gilman in Hunters Point.

Just in case I am wrong.

Ralph the Bastard. That.

Ronnie, we need the small lock pick.

Here you go.

Thank you, sir.

Lincoln.

You've got an airtight alibi.

I killed them?

Now, after that spectacle you put on the courthouse, you're not surprised to see

me here, are you?

Look, wanting and doing are two different things.

You told me that, remember?

So it wasn't you. Am I happy?

Yes.

Did I do it?

No. So where were you?

Right here.

I'll talk to any of my customers.

When you find out who did it, you tell them you got a fan of me for life.

Eric, I know you're angry.

Just don't do anything stupid, okay?

You don't think you did it?

Nope.

and i want to pull over over here why why do you always got a question

everything i ask you just pull over please i'll be right back

No, I'm not going to eat it. I'm going to evaluate them.

All right.

Okay.

All right.

Now we witness the world's first donut wind tunnel test. What the hell does it

mean?

Flashman, clear your mind.

Get ready for a life -altering concept, okay?

Donuts online.

Donuts on the internet.

Like Cybernuts.

Explain.

You order them at night, and when you wake up in the morning, you've got a

dozen right there next to your morning newspaper.

Bubba, that's off the scale crazy. Even for you.

Marsha and Lincoln were killed with the same 9mm.

Anybody in Derek's family own a 9mm?

Doesn't mean Derek couldn't have gotten one off the street.

Did you get the list of people from the courtroom from Roxanne? Yeah, almost a

hundred names.

Interview each and every one of them if you have to.

Captain? Yeah? What's the guy doing here?

What the hell are you doing about this?

Well, well, first time in a police station without cuffs on. Lincoln said

supposed to be protecting us. You know what?

Protecting you isn't high on my priority list.

Wait a minute, there's a psycho out there hunting us down. Just like you

down Benjamin Liu?

I'll tell you what, children.

If you want to confess to witness tampering, I can keep you safe and warm

four years.

Screw you, man.

You're a funeral punk.

Let's go, Trev.

You know, you don't have to go with him.

Let's go, Trev.

Trev!

Hi.

Peer pressure is an ugly thing, isn't it?

I've got witnesses who say that you did participate in the riot in their

courtroom.

I wouldn't call it a riot.

What would you call it?

How about a wake -up call to our legislatures that we will no longer

criminals exploiting legal loopholes?

Well, I'd call it a riot.

Well, you have to understand, as a juror, I took an oath to be impartial.

I listened to the testimony as it was presented, but I hadn't made up my mind

which way I was going to vote.

So you had formed no opinion whatsoever.

I felt badly for the victim's family.

Who wouldn't?

I think I know who did it.

You do?

Judge O 'Brien.

The judge?

Oh, yeah.

She's insane.

Cuckoo.

I hate to say this.

But you're going to anyway?

There was someone in that courtroom with no due for solidarity.

Yeah, who would that be?

Roxanne Hill.

You're kidding, right?

Are you aware that three years ago she purchased a 9mm semi -automatic handgun?

You already looked into this?

Yep, an S &W Ladysmith on Nash's recommendation. Now, he told me to run

everybody who was in that courtroom.

Yeah, well, he didn't mean Roxanne, you know it.

No, she was embarrassed in a highly publicized trial by a witness who

at the last minute. All right, we have two victims who were killed by a 9mm,

which happens to be a model she owns. Now, I think we owe it to her to check

her gun just so she doesn't get blindsided.

And so we don't either.

All right.

I'll talk to Nancy first, though.

Oh, hey, Cassidy.

Listen, I just want to say thanks, okay? This whole thing's been such a

nightmare. I really appreciate you picking me up.

Okay, can we just get out of here, please? Yeah, yeah, hold on one second.

Talk, Cassidy, Cassidy, talk.

How you doing?

I'm good.

Yeah, I promise you, you're right.

Thanks.

Yeah, great.

No tea.

Can you hang, make sure I get in? Yeah, no problem.

I don't believe you.

What? Okay, I drain my bank account, bail you out, I skip a class, and then

promise your freak -as -way friend from jail that I'll give him a ride home?

You needed help, Cassidy. You need help, Evan? I mean, could you pick a worse

neighborhood?

Open the door, Holly!

Open the door, you hear me?

Open the door!

Hey! Hey!

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Uh -huh. All right, listen, why don't you take the boy inside, all right?

She's the one who got me arrested, man.

Well, that doesn't give you the right to keep the crap out of your wife in front

of your kids.

Like hell I am.

You got someplace you can go?

I got a brother in Daly City.

Okay, let's call him.

$10 ,000?

Ash, I don't understand you.

It sounds to me as if you don't trust the judgment of your girlfriend or that

your best friend. Well, darling, he is my best friend, meaning that I've known

him a hell of a lot longer than you have. And trust me on this, Joe is a

dreamer. No, no, no, no, no. Make that schemer.

Well, I happen to have faith in him.

Caitlin, most of Joe's schemes fail.

And I mean miserably. Hit the ground hard.

Does that mean he's not a wonderful guy? No.

Does it mean I want him to change? No.

I love him. He's my best friend.

But if you're going to get in the business with this man, you best do it

your eyes wide open.

Well, that's perfect, because my eyes are wide open. See? Okay, and you'll

promise me that this in no way will affect our relationship.

I solemnly swear.

Okay, I want it in writing.

You want... How do you want it in writing?

I will go into the office and I'll drop some papers first thing in the morning.

Fine.

Okay, I'll sign them. I'd love to.

Good night.

Where are you going?

Going to bed.

Uh, it's 8 .30. What about dinner?

Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie. I gotta wake up at 3 .30 in the morning. I gotta go

check out a bakery.

The time they make the donuts.

They don't call me Duke the Donut King for nothing. Here, try these.

A little dry. What does that

chalky taste like? Every batch has one bad donut. Here, try them.

Huh?

Well, Caitlin, the Donut the Donut is giving us a good deal here. Yeah, if you

think so. I have to be honest with you. These are not my best donuts. They're my

cheapest donuts.

Hey, they're 15 cents a piece.

Okay, well, do you have something higher quality then? Yeah, sure, right over

here.

Now, these donuts are 25 cents a piece. You can't beat them.

It's better. They just melt in your mouth.

Could we maybe have one minute so we can discuss this?

Sure. The Donut King is here to please.

Joe, either I'm getting a really bad feeling from this man or food

set again.

Okay, you've given us a good deal. It's Duke the Donut King. He sells a lot of

donuts. We're going to do this. I really think we should do this right. Now, I

happen to have the most fabulous pastry chef.

Pastry chef? Isn't that a little fancy for donuts?

Trust me.

Joe, there's only two kinds of class. There's first and, um, no.

Hey.

Is that it?

Yeah.

Doesn't look like I'm gonna need a backup gun anymore, does it?

There you go, babe.

Harvey, there's 500 bucks here.

That's a fair price.

No, but we agreed on three. That's too much. Evan, take the money.

Thanks. So,

what's the word?

About what?

You know, has Nash mentioned anything about me coming back to the SIU?

No.

I think that's a bad sign.

To be honest, I don't think it's good.

Heaven knows I've been doing my best, Harvey.

I know you have, ma 'am.

I got to get going, man.

Yeah.

All right, man. Put in the good words for me. I will.

All right.

Take care.

So I'm a suspect now. You're not a suspect.

And why do I feel like one?

Come on, Roxy.

If I'm not under suspicion, why do you want to see my gun? Because if it was

other DA on the case, we'd want to see their gun.

Insulting. Yes, but not inconceivable.

I don't know how to take this. I really don't. You guys know me. Well, take it

personally. Well, I don't want to take it at all, Joe. Rock, give me the gun so

that we can move on.

What if I used a different gun? Did you ever think about that? If I'm so smart,

why would I use my own gun?

Rock's hand.

It's an all -time low, guys.

Beautiful.

Yes, beautiful.

Doesn't change the way it looks.

sure he can't leave.

He jumps Lincoln in the courtroom next day, Lincoln's dead.

I just spent six months in jail. I don't want to go back. I ain't waiting around

for him to kill me.

Let's do this. Now.

You better be on the straight up with me, Derek.

Because if you're not and I have to come back here, you're not going to like it.

That piece of crap killed my father.

That doesn't justify this, and you know it.

Ronnie, let's go.

Not to be indelicate, Bubba, but has anybody turned up Roxanne's gun yet?

What are you indelicately not trying to say?

Well, the morgue's filling up with our suspects, meaning who's left.

Joe. Hey, I'm not saying she did it. I'm saying let's prove that she didn't,

that's all.

This is Cassidy. Leave a message at the beep.

Hey, Cassidy.

It's Evan.

Listen, I wanted to really thank you again for bailing me out the other day.

know, you've always been the one person that I can count on, the one person that

was always there for me.

And I just want to say thanks.

Hey, listen, I was going through my stuff the other day and I found this.

Mrs. Lisa Bridges and Mr. Nash Bridges proudly invite you to this.

It's a wedding invitation.

It kind of made me think about what could have been.

Thinking about you in your grandmother's wedding dress.

You know, dancing with you at the reception, all their friends there and

I really blew it, Cassidy, and I know it.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so, so sorry. You don't even know it.

This is Cassidy. Your message is deep.

Wow. Wow.

Listen, I shouldn't even...

brought up any of that stuff i really just called to let you know that i'm

you know that everything's fine and and if you ever want to call me or anything

or you know if you want to talk or even if you don't want to talk i mean don't

feel obligated i don't want you to feel obligated because

why don't you just please disregard all these other messages

and uh take care all right

Thanks, guys.

Okay? Okay, bye.

Thanks, Becca.

Joe? Uh, Roxy?

You're not here to tell me I have nothing to worry about, or are you?

We really need to see your gun.

You know what? I really haven't had time to look for it.

Look, am I a suspect or not? Because if I am... Well, we've eliminated Lincoln,

Marcus, and Derek, and Trevor's on the run, so... So that leaves me.

Well, it just makes it really important to rule you out.

Does Nash know you're pressing this?

Yeah, Nash knows.

You know, I'm just wondering why you're not being more cooperative.

More cooperative than having this ridiculous conversation with you?

Okay, fine, have it your way.

In addition to your gun... We're going to need you to provide alibis of where

you were at the times of the murders.

You know what? I'm not going to say anything further without legal counsel.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Hey, nice cats.

Hi.

Hey.

I came by just wanted to make sure that everything was okay.

Yeah, yeah.

Tasha's going to stay with his brother for a while.

I kind of think he's scared of what you'd do to him if he didn't.

Yeah, that's good.

I talked to some friends of mine. They're cops. They're going to cruise by

once in a while to make sure everything's okay.

Oh, wow.

How'd you make that happen?

Well, I'm a cop.

Well, thank you.

I mean, I really appreciate it.

Yeah. Hey, I got you something.

Encyclopedia Brown. It's about a detective who's just about your age.

Thanks.

Hey, you know what? Dinner's almost ready. Do you want to stay?

I'd love to, but I have to go.

Okay.

Here's my card.

If anything happens, don't hesitate to call.

Thank you.

Take care.

Yeah. Okay, good thing.

I tried

to

say no.

I'm totally angry with him. I just can't cut him off.

Why not?

I was his one phone call, Dad.

It was just me.

And you're always going to be his one phone call. Unless you send him a very

clear message.

You're not going to be.

I'm seeing someone else.

That's good. Healthy.

When do I get to meet him?

You don't.

We don't want to scare him off yet, Dad.

It's no fun.

It's much better that way.

Come on. I'm not that bad.

How bad could it be?

Oh, God.

Buckton Hill.

Hey, Roxanne, it's Harvey Leak at the SIU. I was wondering if you could

something for me.

Friendly or hostile?

Friendly. Do you remember a guy named Bayard Whitaker?

Yeah,

he was one of our jurors.

What can you tell me about him?

Straight arrow, shoot from the hip kind of guy. I thought he might be inclined

towards a conviction. Why?

Well, in his jury questionnaire, he indicated that he's single, but

his DMV records, he's married.

Typo? No, he was married six years ago in San Mateo County.

So you think it's worth following up, or am I spinning wheels?

Anything's possible.

All right, I'm going to keep scratching then.

Thank you, Inspector.

Oh, thank you.

It's Harvey.

Oh, well, thank you, Harvey.

Records. Doris, I need a deep background check on a Bayard Eldon Whittaker, date

of birth 4 -22 -59.

Oh. Hmm.

Armin, oh, my.

These are amazing.

Well, there's no substitute for quality.

So what are we talking about, bottom line price here?

One dollar.

A dollar? For a dozen, that's great.

You misunderstand. It's one dollar a piece.

You must misunderstand me. We're talking about donuts. I don't make donuts, Mrs.

Mingus. I make... Morning pastry.

Isn't there some way you could cut corners? I mean, maybe bring the price

little, little tiny bit?

Well, 75 cents is the best I could do, only because of you.

I'll let you two talk it over.

Joe, 75 cents.

I think we should go with Armin.

What are you talking about? Look, we had overhead and delivery charges.

We're going to have to charge a dollar and a half a donut. Nobody's going to

that. Joe.

I don't want to sell cheap donuts.

I want to go with Armin.

Yeah, well, you go with Armin. I want to go with Duke.

We just want your objective opinion.

Uh -huh.

That's exactly the rock and hard place I've been trying to avoid.

Nash, come on. Whatever your decision, we will not hold it against you. We

swear. Come on, Nash, man. This is important, man.

Yeah, so is my sanity.

Nash, all you have to do is try one of Joe's donuts from Duke's, and then...

Try one of my delicious donuts from Armin.

Wait, that's not entirely fair. We both know which one he's going to like

better. You've got to factor in the fact that mine costs three times less.

No griping, no sulking, no complaining.

You swear.

Great. I'll just need your John and Jane Hancocks right here on this document.

You don't mind?

Do you understand your family score and not to let our business ventures

interfere with our effective relationship with NASP? You've got to be

me. I'm not going to sign it.

There you go.

Thank you very much. I'll just put this in a legal file over here.

Now then, bring on the nuts. Remember, you get three of these.

Okay.

Hands down that one.

What?

I almost cost $1 .50 a piece. Our customer's not going to pay $1 .50 for a

donut.

You wanted my opinion, I gave it to you. Thank you, honey.

Mm -hmm.

Will you stop talking and talk to me?

You made me juke.

Nobody makes you do anything.

You signed a pledge.

Yeah, that's when I thought you were going to be impartial. I was impartial.

man, you were never going to choose my donuts because I wasn't sticking with

you. That is ridiculous.

And you've been trying to sabotage this donut idea ever since you heard of it.

No, no, no, no. I was trying to prepare Caitlin for the inevitable wreckage that

comes along with one of your harebrained schemes.

Well, I'm assaulted.

Regardless of the facts.

Man, well, you're going to get your way.

How's that?

$1 .50 a dollar, there's no way the business is going to succeed.

Thanks a lot.

Exactly what I predicted. That somehow it was going to be my fault when your

cockamamie plan didn't work.

Well, in this case, that's right.

You know, next time, I want to pledge on videotape.

Videotape?

Mr. Bayard Whitaker, he's still at work. Can I take a message?

Who is this, please?

I'm his mother -in -law.

Who is this?

Uh, Roxanne Hill. I'm an assistant DA.

Could I come over and ask you a few questions?

Joey. Hmm?

I think I might have someone.

I have all ears.

Juror number six, a guy named Bayard Whitaker.

Some very interesting discrepancies in his juror questionnaire.

Like that?

Such as he neglected to inform the court that his wife of six years...

Was murdered a year and a half ago near Park Merced.

I remember that case. They never found the guy, huh?

Exactly. Turns out Whitaker was devastated by it. Had to be

Lost his job.

He didn't include any of that in his questionnaire.

That would be a motive, huh? One more thing.

The guy has two registered handguns.

Both of them 9mm.

Those are means.

Got an address on this guy?

8378 Cutford.

I'm going to grab Nass to take a run over there.

Uh, hey, Kurt.

Knock yourself out.

Is, uh, chamomile all right?

Yes, it's fine. It's all right.

Fire.

You're home already.

Yeah, I finished work early.

I was, uh, I was just on my way out.

Marty, uh, would you leave so that Miss Hill and I can talk, please?

Personal visit.

Kind of unusual, isn't it, Kel?

Well, actually, we're still trying to make the witness tampering case against

Trevor, and I was wondering if you had had any interaction with

any of the defendants outside of the courtroom.

No.

May I use your bathroom?

Yeah, it's right through there.

I'll get it.

Come on in. Keep things here, please.

Fire! Fire! Fire!

What are you doing here?

It's Hill. Will you open the door, please?

All units in the vicinity of 8378 Cutler Avenue respond to 911 call. Woman in

distress.

Whitaker's plate.

Don't make this harder than it has to be, Mr.

Hill. You had a job to do and you failed.

I had a job to do and I succeeded.

I need you to open the door right now. All right.

No, it wasn't you.

You all right?

Well, well, well.

You're not looking so tough now, are you, Bubba?

As a matter of fact, you're looking a little peaked. A little pasty.

What's up, Trevor?

Hey, look, man, I don't want to end up dead, all right?

So, look, I want to confess.

Confess to what?

All right.

We threatened that lady and her sister, man.

What about conspiracy to commit murder?

You and Marcus went over to Derek Luce and tried to kill him, right?

I mean, look, I was not there.

Want to try again?

All right. Okay, okay. All right, look, man. So we were there, all right, man?

Man, please put me away, man.

Harvey, take young Trevor here back to the confessional.

I think he's got a few things he wants to get off his chest.

Let's go, Trev.

You forgot to mention that the guy who was trying to kill him is dead.

Damn.

Slipped my mind. Just thought I'd remind you.

Excuse me, Evan Cortez?

Uh, he's not here.

Can we help you? Oh, um, I just baked him a batch of cookies to say thank you.

He kind of saved me from my husband, kept me and my son safe, you know.

Nobody's ever really done anything like that for me before, so... I see.

Oh, um, would you make sure he gets them?

Sure. We'll do what we can.

Okay. Thanks.

You bet.

Don't even think about it.

Big Jotly.

Hi.

Hi.

Here's the 500 bucks. Yeah, it's all there.

Thank you.

Um, you should probably go now. Yeah, yeah.

Would you like to go get coffee or something? Anything?

No.

I didn't think so.

It's just that I... I gotta go.

Yeah.

Hey, Evan.

Next time you screw up, don't call me.

Okay?

You all right?

Yeah, I can just go.

Okay, to clarify now, you're giving these to us for 50 cents a donut, right?

What can I say? Your partner's charm, one meal.

Hey. You try one, Nashman? Oh, no.

I hate donuts.

You have no idea what you're missing.

Armin, something's different. Something's odd here.

What's that chalky taste?

Chalky? Did you change your recipe?

I didn't bake these.

Excuse me?

In order to meet your price, I had to subcontract the work.

Perhaps you've heard of him, Duke the Donut King?

Oh, my God.

You've got to be kidding.

Oh, boy.

Armin, Armin, please, this is crazy.

We want, we need your donuts.

Well, if you want an Armin donut, you pay full price.

If you're interested, let me know. If not, that's fine.

Boy, I've seen businesses collapse, but rarely in the first 48 hours.

Don't enjoy it too much. No, no, no. This is not over.

We're just hiring a chef. That's right. Just rethink our game plan. That's all.

Have you thought of offering hundreds of donuts in every conceivable flavor?

Yeah, well, we'll get to that. I mean, eventually.

Why don't you just leave the specifics to us? Okay.

Oh, okay.

Somebody stole our idea.

That's a click away.
