It's not exactly by the book, but I can give you $1 ,500 now plus tolerance.

Appreciate it, man.

You crazy, man. Coming here being on my crew. I'm crazy.

I'm an insurance adjuster. Just figure out what I want.

Because nothing else needs being up.

Elvis got ALS.

Lou Gehrig. I don't make him.

When you walk out of this bar, you don't come back.

Because if you do, that guy you knew is going to break your neck.

I hit a field.

I made a mistake today.

That was supposed to be for $50 ,000.

Hey, Lou.

I'm home.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Sometimes you get the lady.

And sometimes you get the chap.

Because at Protected, everyone comes up a winner.

So I asked him, what kind of a mugger beats you up and doesn't take your

Then it all came out.

A sin of omission. What's that, five Hail Marys?

He lied to me, Papa.

In the Bible, Abraham lies to his wife.

Sometimes it's best.

Jimmy, call the cavalry.

You're up now?

You've been in bed for three days. I took the day off. What can I do for you?

All right. I got a little work.

We wanted him up. He's up.

Lucia tells me about how your boss is mad about you paying with this money.

Let me help you. What is it, $59? I got a cover, Joe.

Thank you. Jim. It's all right.

Hey. Hey, Jimmy.

Take the money if you need to make things good. We'll pay it back. My

You told me $1 ,500 because of the guy in the tombs.

It's fine.

Don't worry about it.

Hey, Di.

Oh, Di, slow up.

What's the address?

Why don't we talk about it over dinner, okay?

No, if you're not home for lunch, don't bother coming back for dinner.

Yeah, Di.

Yeah, no, I'm almost there.

Yeah, no, I'm in the car.

Word of advice.

Don't speak like that to your husband again.

It's not my husband.

Last week you cashed out a Mrs. Garcia.

Has been killed in our client's truck collision.

Hello?

Jimmy? What kind of non -response is that? The bank just faxed over

of a second check in the amount of $50 ,000 for that same Mrs. Garcia.

I'm kind of busy here, Counselor. What's your point?

Did we or did we not agree to peddle the widow out at 15?

No.

No. You made a ballpark suggestion.

I offer for a higher number.

I don't make suggestions.

I instructed you to go low, and that's what I'm about to tell Dick. Unless you

can persuade me that my suspicions are unfounded.

Can you?

Don't you think he's got enough on his plate with Lionel coming in from Denver?

Correction, I'm going to tell Dick that our...

Mr. Byrne is offering clients higher settlements in exchange for kickbacks.

that closer to the mark, Jimmy?

Thanks for your support, Sidney.

I gotta go.

There's a lot of lawyers in town.

Bingo.

Yeah, I need to speak with Jay Pound.

I'd like to make an appointment.

And this is regarding?

Corporate liability in the workplace.

You said it was just a follow -up. I should have been there.

Wouldn't have changed the outcome.

They say at first that it's years, and now they're talking about 12 months?

We need to get you another doctor. That's what we need to do.

There's no one to get mad at, Walker.

Maybe if you went back to Dick and told him what was happening, he'd give you

that paid leave.

Protected's family values stop at taking out the checkbook.

Then quit.

Come home.

You're all I need so we don't go to Paris. We go to Montreal.

No.

No way.

No, I'm taking my leave and we're gonna go wherever the hell you want.

I've given them too many years for them to rip you off of one.

What's your next worst mistake?

Quite the party, boys.

You gonna tell me the tiger did all this?

We had a hibachi incident, but it was the tiger who trashed the living room,

dude. And my parents are gonna be back from Maui on Tuesday, so we need this,

like, made right pronto.

Or sooner. Triple fast, like on your ass. Here's the thing.

First, we gotta find the pet's owner.

Then we gotta get his insurance company to pay, which is gonna take time.

Unless, of course, one of you knows who owns the big cat.

But you don't, right?

Because you would have told the cops, right?

I gotta say something. Yeah, well, what other chance?

Rumor has it there's this bud man who lives in the subdivision across the

corridor. You got an address?

Man, all those houses look the same.

He drives his old woody Jeep.

Hello?

Hello?

And it's your highest pleasure now. Anybody home? The misfortune of fools.

We'll find out.

We'll find out.

You had nothing.

Just believe it.

We all feel.

Hello?

Just believe it.

We all see it.

So where's the other one, Mr. Pet owner?

Huh? Huh? Built it myself.

No shit.

Walker, in this corporate culture, you want to be seen as a manager with moxie,

you got to think outside the box.

This is the box.

Uh -huh.

Why don't we see that we're thinking future here?

Branding opportunities like this in Guinness Market Share.

You can't call Iverwind Stadium the protected dome. It's not a dome. You've

to have a cover on it like a tarp or something.

Why are you being so negative?

Huh?

Come on.

Is it because I couldn't get you your leave?

I went to the match for you.

Come on.

I'm too tight. I appreciate it.

Walker, could I see you for a second? Absolutely.

He's coming.

No, he's not.

Yaro, Masoud is on the phone.

He says he'll be here in one hour.

Take it.

Thank you.

Hello, Yaro?

Is it true you're coming for me? There was some trouble in Buffalo I had to

clean up, so I thought, why not drive up north?

The clinic isn't quite ready, but we would always be happy to see you. I have

belated birthday present for you from your wife.

Your present is present enough.

You should have been a maitre d'.

Wherever this Jew from Turkmenistan goes, someone dies.

A -State covers the damage your client's cat did to the house, Rick. Okay,

you're dreaming of the jacket, by the way. If you think I'll do protective any

favor. No, really, Rick. The jacket looks great.

Bite me.

There's no way A -State's paying a cent.

Are you pissed about the jacket?

That dead guy had a $400 ,000 mortgage with us.

He used our house as a grow -up and a kitty litter box for not one, but two

tigers. We'll be lucky to sell that dump for a hundred and change.

We're not going to settle.

You take away the tiger piss and the rotting floorboards and dead Jerry

on the shitter, I think it's got real curb appeal, Rick.

Burn here.

Jimmy, we're looking for clarity in the Mrs. Garcia situation.

No, there is no situation.

I'm here with Catherine Scott.

Hello, Catherine.

If you don't want to skedaddle, you should get your ass in here now.

That sound like guilty to you?

I came to you for reassurance. You're supposed to tell me I'm wrong.

Old story.

Hard -working employee, he goes into the boss looking for a raise. That's per

company policy, and they turn him down for no legit reason.

And pretty soon he's feeling like injustice has been heaped upon him, so

to make him pay.

You're saying he's dirty?

I'm saying he's got more flags than a Somali pirate.

What time's the line? I'll get it.

11 .30.

Shit, I'm on it.

You got the widow?

Yeah.

We square, you can write the check?

Any way this goes, your dad's gonna find out.

What? This is BS, man.

You're nothing like the guy from the commercials.

We want protected, man.

There's the wheel.

Tell Mrs. Garcia if she knowingly participated in a kickback scheme, we'll

charges.

She says she believes Mr. Byrne is guilty only of kindness.

Tell her she needs to return the $50 ,000 that doesn't belong to her.

She wore the money home to care for her children.

I don't want to have to sue.

Mr. Byrne said...

So call this man.

No one has clients waiting in the lounge.

Please blame them.

Looks like her young widow was only playing at being naive. She got herself

lawyer on our adjuster's recommendation of Mr.

J. Pound.

You sent her to your ex?

Like he's rubbing my face in it, Walker.

Mine too.

You're not going to believe where our dirty bird just washed up.

That car has my cigar in it.

And your birthday present.

Find it. And the son of a bitch who stole it.

You're done.

Jimmy boy.

Jimmy insurance.

For what do I owe this pleasure?

You need x -rays as quick as possible.

Are you afraid of hospital?

No, my lawyer said you would be faster.

Listen, don't make a big deal out of this, okay? I'm just having some trouble

with my boss. That's all I need to clear it up.

Yes, I understand.

Hey, Sabrina!

Come take care of our friend.

It has a tracking device.

Make a call. Find the car.

If you can't tell that someone's looking at your GPS search, then come back to

me. It's not that simple.

Make it simple.

I'm telling you, we need to get out in front of this or Denver's going to make

us wear it.

He's meeting with the yummy mummy widow now.

My bet he's scoring his payout.

We need to get the cops in on this, Dick.

I can make the call.

Now, this is the only one of Burns' settlements I've read flags so far, but

doesn't mean there won't be more, Dick. No, no, I'm not having one of my

employees arrested on the day that Lionel Kaufman's coming to town. No!

What time is it?

It's 11 .15.

Of course, you'd burn myself by the family card.

Isn't Lionel due to come in at 11 .30? I know what time he's coming.

How do you...

If I'm not back in time, you have the boy start without me, all right? But you

keep his eye on the growth strategy.

Hi, Richard DeMille, regional COO at Protected. Oh.

You're Dick.

Right. Is Jimmy here? Is, um... Lucia.

Lucia. No, he's... On the job.

Did you want to come in? I just made... No, no, no. I'm a little pressed for

time. Listen, um, if you hear from him or if he calls, can you just tell him

that I really need to speak with him ASAP?

Okay?

Um... Is this about the money that he owes?

Look, you just tell him to talk to me.

And also tell him that we've not yet gone to the police. Can you do that?

Lionel's here. He's here.

Lionel's here.

Good morning,

Lionel. Nice to see you.

Thank you, Miss Scott. Nice to see you, too.

Where's all these empty desks Dick's been bragging about?

You kids need to lighten up.

They're a little shell -shocked with all the layoffs.

Good stuff, good stuff. So where is my Dickie boy?

Uh, Dick's delayed, but he's prepared a presentation.

Good stuff. I'm feeling upbeat about this branch, Miss Scott. You too? On top

the world, Lionel. And where's my Obama? He's not in either?

If you mean Mr. Hearn, he's out on surveillance.

First rule of the playbook, Miss Scott.

You can't take a joke.

F off and die.

Words to live by.

The Tiger Cats are the greatest football team in history.

And right now, we have a unique opportunity to participate in the

process.

Do you know what happens to companies that put their names on stadiums?

Enron Field fits up.

Fact.

Naming rights are the kiss of death.

Hey, Lionel, Lionel, Lionel.

Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.

Ah, well, hope the voice brought you up to speed.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's still early days, but, you know, we're pretty confident

that an investment in a name like Protected Dome sounds like a condom

He came here, and he threatened to go to the police.

Why? Lou, I've got it under control. How much do you owe them?

How much more than the $1 ,500?

$50 ,000.

What?

How?

I low -balled this widow, and then I got drunk, and I paid her what she

deserved.

That wasn't your money to give. I know.

I know.

But listen.

No.

Just go.

You expect me to trust you?

Marry you?

Go.

Lucy, everything's gonna be okay.

Hey, Raleigh.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Oh, man.

You got a problem with me? No, more like solutions.

Hey, you're gonna pay me back, right?

These this shit clean out a septic tank behind a slaughterhouse I Need 1500 for

you keep the change, but I need it sold now You got a buyer?

Yo, daddy

Chosen me,

you know, okay Nice it's a weeding house reunion tour

I'm really glad you can make it, Jay. You recognize me now, huh?

Or do I fade away from your shiny boys, too? That's up to you. Yeah?

Hey, hey, chill, chill, chill, chill.

Look, it's adult time.

Look, this is CJ City. I know we'll get a good price.

Same old, same old, eh?

Papo.

They've located your client's car in a south end parking lot.

Attention,

people.

What's your name again?

Papo. What our Mr. Papo is doing here, going the extra mile for customer

service, that does way more for the protected brand than putting a name on

rinky -dink stadium.

You got it?

It worked.

Thank you, sir.

But why the sudden increase?

You know what costs money in a recession?

Money costs money. I can't let you keep 50%. Let us talk in here.

Please, be comfortable.

What's this?

The conference room.

If you take 70 % of gross, I might as well be flipping burgers.

I must take this.

Sabrina will look after you.

Anything at all.

Hello?

Is he prostituting you?

Good, good.

We have the car. I'll go get it. Go, Joe.

I want to explain why you should leave our split at 50 -50. I understand.

The only reason Korkov is still alive is because his wife is family.

You gave him a second chance. Now let me give you one.

Over dinner.

Fine.

Put on some proper clothes. You look like you're for sale.

Look, you know me, Jay. You knew I torched the car. You shouldn't have cut

the check.

So it is, man.

Well, we agree.

I think you were solid.

Bullshit. What you did was you went home and you told your old lady what a good

deed you did for your chooms boy. Right. Right, Jay?

No, you shouldn't have double dipped. That's where you screw.

Double dipped.

You show me a con, I'mma take it.

I'll see you at the bar, Jay.

Double dick.

Your, uh, boy's not at his sitter's today.

Where's DJ at?

His hero came by and picked him up.

Bad influence, too.

Search the gloves, DJ.

I'll put those in the smurf cart.

I just want to make sure that tracking this car down doesn't leave anything,

know, bad happening.

Define bad.

That's some deep shit there, Mr. B.

The job is hanging by the curlies, and you're hanging with the scumbag who

torched his car.

What are you doing now?

Planning your next scam?

I told you I'd get your $1 ,500 back, and I did. I got it all back.

All $1 ,500. Every penny.

Plus enough interest for you to take Al out to dinner. Oh, no. You keep it.

You're gonna need it. No, no, no. You go out and enjoy yourselves.

Admit it.

That water's just a fraction of what you got from the widow for upping her

settlement. That's bullshit, and you know it.

Get all that? I wish I hadn't.

Our boy's in denial.

Dick, we're out of options.

We have to tell Lionel.

Oh, God.

Hey, Walker.

What? If you're gonna try and take me down, you better give it all you got,

man.

I couldn't think of any reason to get out of dinner with Dick and Lionel.

Any chance you could come make sure I don't poke out my eye with this little

dick? You know, as much as I would love another day at the office after I finish

my day at the office, no can do.

Got a date with my bride, my angel.

Listen, about that paid leave of absence you asked for, I'm sorry I couldn't

help with HR.

It's after hours.

You two still conspire.

Hey, I gave up dinner with the brass to have dinner with my baby.

Catherine, get yourself a cane.

Seems like every man I meet lately has got a kink for a gal with a stick.

What guys you meet and got kinks for a gal with a stick?

Yeah, yeah.

I should go. Night, you too.

Good night.

Why should you wait for your cut from Pavel who waits

for the doctors who wait for the insurance companies to pay?

Why don't we bill them directly?

Did Korkov approve of this?

He did, after I explained to him that if we set up a third -party invoicing

company owned by you and run by me, everybody makes more.

So all the money flows through us.

We take our slice, we hand out the crumbs.

It's clever.

I love it.

Your car is outside.

The gentleman who stole it is in the trunk, a very small trunk.

Enough business.

Why don't you head home?

Call your wife.

I'm going to have a little drink.

Bad day?

My boss.

Poof.

What poof?

Poof.

He's gone.

Once you accept the fact that we all only have one boss, he makes all the

inconsequential.

Good boss.

Jesus. He's the one and only boss.

And all these other godless sons of bitches are gonna hellfire.

What type of business are you in?

Insurance.

Victor.

Lou, come on, open the door.

Why did you steal the money?

I didn't steal it, I gave it away.

Why? Why would you do that?

Because it's so crazy, it scares the shit out of me. I thought Walker was

pushing me out.

So I wailed on this guy I shouldn't have.

I got beaten up, full of stupid, and I couldn't come home.

I couldn't let your family see me like the shit that I was, so I went to this

clown's birthday party. What clown?

This guy.

He said something to me that I couldn't shake. He said, if you don't know what

you want, you got nothing.

So what you really, really wanted was to write a check for $50 ,000 to a

complete stranger?

Jesus, Jimmy.

He's taken today? Yes.

Not unattractive.

You're Mr.

Bernadotte. No, no, no, I don't think he's anything like that.

Well, I know he did say protect the $2 million when Mrs. McCutcheon backed out

of her life insurance suit.

What did he have to do with that?

Oh, you didn't want to know, and I'm legally obliged not to, Dick.

Call me tomorrow.

I'll pull the trigger.

All I do is sell lies.

That's all I do.

There's no such thing as security. There's no insurance to keep us safe.

It's all a con.

Because everything and everyone is so goddamn fragile, and I...

And there's no one... There's no one up there or out there...

looking out.

You know, and I just wanted to... protect someone from all the shit that I

can't.

Who protects us?

I'm trying, Lou.

I'm trying to be that guy, but I screw it up all the time.

But I'm trying and I keep trying because I love you.

I do.

You want some?

Yeah.

Is

your

mind mistaken?

Is your conscience not at ease?

We'll find out.

We'll find out.

You strive to deny each kindred spirit in the room. Oh, come on, Di. You're

killing me. It's been taking hours to inventory this B &E. What happened to

Wrong story.

There it goes.

Papa's got it.

Miss Scott says you were told to settle the widow at 15, not 50.

Is that true?

Told? No.

I asked her for a bottom line. She suggested 15.

Show him the quick claim that the widow signed.

The real one.

First rule of fraud.

Never leave a pirate paper trail.

I have the authority to settle up to $100 ,000.

Not after legal signs off, you don't. Admit it.

You pursued Mrs. Garcia and you forced her into... Show him the... Go to hell,

Walker. No, this is your fault and you know it.

I was there getting legal advice.

You're gonna need him, Mr. Byrne. And so will you.

I got the crap kicked out of me recovering protected's money. Three

and a concussion because of him.

Are we liable if he was injured on a claim? No, it's possible.

Walker knew the guy you sent me to had been convicted of assault. He knowingly

endangered me. And now my lawyer wants to sue protected for a high -fixed

figure. Here we go. But that's not what I want.

All I want is a public apology from him for the hell he put me through.

He's playing you.

He's playing you! Shove it up your ass, Walker. Yeah? No, you're not man enough

to apologize.

You want to settle this, bitch?

Huh? I'll settle this. Walker, calm down. Walker! Hey! Hey!

This jumpy little prick gets to keep his job and I get kicked to the curb.

When did the world turn upside down, huh? Walker, you just threw a colleague

through a plate glass window in front of 20 witnesses. I was protecting the

company. And I appreciate that, which is why I went to bat for you, right?

I got you a generous service.

Any other company would wrestle you down.

Make you scream uncle.

But we break the rules here. We think outside the box.

So do you.

I think you've found your home, Mr. Byrne.

There's one thing, Lionel.

Dick's been stalling on my 12 -month bump.

That's a bridge too far, son.

Nice tie.

Good flight.

The look on Lionel's face.

18 months severance pay, baby. 18.

Woo!

You see, I told you. Look.

You told me.

Just because people are stupider than you doesn't mean you're smart.

Hey, we both scored.

Yeah, lucked out, maybe.

You can pay on the installment plan, but everybody pays.

The beautiful woman I'm going home to, she's gonna be dead inside 12 months.

20 years, I never done right by her.

Dogged around.

I always thought there'd be plenty of time to pay her back.

Didn't work out that way.

Everybody pays.

Anyway, I got a little something for you.

Your business.

Thanks.

Trouble on your six o 'clock?

Which one's Newman? Which one's Redford?

I have no idea what you mean by that.

He's a counselor, but you up to join us for a drink?

Gosh in the rocks. I mean, I can afford to buy it.

Hey, Scott Fox.

Theoretically speaking, Counsel, what made you twit?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

more of a gift to me.

Just spreading the love.

I don't care if it rains or freezes.

Oh, I forgot my plastic.

Yeah.

To, uh, something.

Called Mark IV.

Short recoil, locked breech.

You really should have called her last night.

Expand business, she says.

See what happens when I listen to you.

If it needs to be done, I'll do it, Pavel. Let me.

I'm not afraid.

Until now, I thought your hunger was desire.

But no.

It is ambition.

What's wrong with wanting more?

Ask him.

Great location.

It's central.

It's big enough for a family of six. Yeah.

Way over budget.

A shoebox is over our budget, but we can get it for a song.

I don't know. In my mind, there's this perfect house.

Something magical.

Yeah. I'm about to do something really stupid thanks to you and this incredible

bud.

Choo -choo?

Shut up, Lyle.

I don't know. Maybe we should wait.

Get in the car.

Excuse me? Get in the goddamn car now!

Jimmy?

Jimmy, what are you doing?

Jimmy!

Shh, quiet.

I think it's... Magical.

You have to buy this place.

Right now. Tonight.

Are you sure?

I've never been more certain.
