Hey, Lucky.

How's it going?

Uh, just at work.

What's going on with you?

Well, I'm literally parked on an overpass

with a fucked alternator.

Ugh.

That sucks.

I hate to ask, but could you

send me 500 bucks for a tow truck,

like e-transfer?

Can't you use credit?

Yeah, it's maxed out.

Honestly, I wouldn't ask if it wasn't a last resort.

I don't want to bug Noel about it.

She'll freak out, you know?

I'll get you back on Monday at practice.

You know I'm good for it.

I just need a thousand on my debit card, please.

You are good.

Man...

More days like this.

More days like this...

Now, cool down, buddy.

You're late.

You're yelling.

Hmm? Hey, want an orange?

Yes, please. Hi, Dad.

Hello, sweetheart. How was your day?

Good. How about yours?

Stay off that phone.

How was work?

Slow.

Oh, Grace, give me your plate.

Thank you.

Thanks, Mom.

Hey.

It's supposed to be 690.

Why the extra?

Mom's present.

I thought we were splitting her gift.

N-no, but it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

No, if that's what we agreed on, that's all good.

No, if you can't get it to me now,

you can get it to me later, it's fine.

I got you.

What did the accountant say?

I'm gonna meet him tomorrow after Jenny's practice.

Okay, just don't push it off.

I won't, I won't, I won't.

That looks great, hon. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Boop, boop.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, you want to come cuddle with Mom?

What are you studying?

Fluid pressure.

Sounds interesting.

I'm gonna fail this. It's so hard.

You've got it.

Okay...

Dad is picking you up from the dentist,

but I'll take you to practice, okay?

Okay.

Oh, Jenny, your hat.

I don't need it.

-It's freezing. -No, it's not.

It's not a fashion show. Put it on.

Hey, Mom, can I get a ride?

Aren't you studying?

No, no, I'm working till 8:00, and then I have all night.

I was wondering where that went.

Oh, did you want me to switch it?

No, it looks good on you.

Just ask next time you borrow it.

Okay. Yeah, sorry.

I hope you're not going to pull an all-nighter.

We'll see.

Well, don't be a hero to prove a point.

What would that be?

You're always complaining

you never have enough time to study.

You know, Mom, I think I've figured out

what works best for me at this point.

Okay, okay.

I mean, look, if you think you're prepared enough

to take on an extra shift, that's great.

I just don't see how that's realistic.

Do you not need any money this month?

We would manage fine

if it meant more time for you to study.

Okay, who's being realistic now?

I can get a job.

Jenny!

I said no food before the dentist.

Didn't I tell you? Now your teeth are dirty.

Sorry.

$4,000, Jenny, that's what your braces cost.

So help me God if you mess them up.

I've got a surprise for you.

No way. You fixed it.

How'd you do that?

I'm the best.

I only brought enough for the other phones.

Don't worry about it.

I can give you a cut when I sell it.

No, seriously, don't worry about it.

Thanks.

Finding everything okay?

I like this look on you.

It's very classic.

I agree. Looks good.

I'll have it done by the weekend.

Perfect. Um, I'll pass on the shirt, though.

Okay. No problem at all.

Oh, thank you.

You're welcome.

Let's go, let's go!

So, this is your gross income

for the past three years,

your capital loss, your deductible.

Yeah, you can skip over all that.

Do I still owe tax? -Yes. 18K.

I gave you all my receipts, guy.

Do you want to double-check the bookkeeping?

It means you're making money.

It doesn't feel like it.

Well, that's because you paid way too much for the shop,

and now you're overleveraged, but we'll figure it out.

Look, if I hold out a bit longer,

I can pay off the tax in one go.

Interest rates are less than inflation.

-Dad, can we get a snack? -It's already been three years.

What? No, later, later, later.

Adult business. Dads talking.

Good job, guys.

I'm telling you, okay?

You don't want to delay it any longer,

or they'll get the collection agency on you,

and you don't want them asking about your capital.

I screen my calls--

I'm serious. Don't put it off.

I'll go to the bank with you.

The monthly repayment plan is within your means.

Oh.

Thanks again.

I'd still be on that overpass without you.

Yeah. Everything worked out?

Yeah, shouldn't break down anytime soon.

Can we get the snack?

What did Mom pack you?

Only carrots.

Let's get fries.

-See you later. -Okay.

You want fries?

-Sure. -Okay, let's go.

I said no more treats after practice.

You know she hates carrots.

She doesn't hate carrots.

She's manipulating you to buy her treats.

I think you're giving her a bit too much credit.

Last time, okay?

How was your day, babe?

Nothing special. You?

I'll see you in bed later?

I wish she didn't take that shift.

It's her exam.

If Grace says she's ready, she's ready.

"Don't worry, babe, I'll clean up when I'm back."

Hey, bud.

Hey, Dad.

How you feeling?

Fine.

What time's your exam?

8:00.

A.M.?

Yup.

Well, you should go to bed early,

get some rest, take it easy.

Okay, thanks, Dad.

I'm serious.

Look, there's no pressure from your mom and I, all right?

This is your last exam ever.

You just need to pass, right?

If I stay on the Dean's List,

I'll win a prize of $5,000.

-Okay, wow. -Yeah.

What do you need to stay on there?

I need to do well,

at least an A-.

So...

What did the accountant say?

Tax owing.

Is he legit?

Yeah, it's Darren. He's a CPA.

Okay, well, you can give me his stuff,

and I'll take a look at it

and see if there's any wiggle room.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Grace...

Grace...

What time is it?

It's 4:30.

Okay.

You should probably go sleep in your bed.

Yeah.

Thank you. Good night.

Good night.

You have 30 minutes remaining.

How can I help?

Um, I have to go to the bathroom.

I'll escort you there and back, okay?

Shit.

You okay?

Yup. Yeah.

Ugh!

Oh, my god, I can't do that.

Wow.

Whoo!

We're fuckin' done!

Whoo! -Okay.

Now I really gotta go.

Bro, please, you gotta stay.

-No, no, no. -You've gotta stay longer.

Please, please.

No, I'll meet up with you later.

Oh, no, where are you going? I'll give you a ride.

No, it's okay, I'll text you.

Come on.

Okay, text me, because we gotta celebrate.

Hi! Hi, hi, hi.

Hi, thank you so much for coming.

Hi!

Hi. Oh, hello, Papa.

Hi.

Um, if they're more than 10 minutes away, we can start.

Um, just...

I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry.

Hi, where are you?

I blame your father. Jenny, let's go!

How much longer are you going to be?

Soon. Bye.

We're going to be the last ones there.

Told you today would be rushed.

So we shouldn't celebrate?

Dad, your phone's ringing.

Give it to me. Here.

It's only the last day of exams.

Do we even know she passed?

-I know she passed. -My god, what's wrong with you?

Of course she did. I was just kidding.

Hurry up!

Hello, this message is for Harold Lay Zhou "Lucky" Lee.

My name is Leah, and I'm from the Tax Compliance team

at the Canada Revenue Agency,

ID number 295--

--I'm calling about

your outstanding income tax payable

in excess of $15,000.

We've attempted to notify you,

but as you haven't responded to our messages,

we've applied a lien on your possessions,

and we've alerted the authorities

about your noncompliance.

Please return this call.

My direct line is 613-157-1417.

So late.

Jenny, we're so late.

I've got a work emergency. I'll meet you there.

Dude, what did you do?

It's the building.

What's so serious that it can't wait till tomorrow?

I'll tell you later. I'll meet you there.

If you can't get there by 6:00,

then don't bother showing up.

I will be there.

--hang up, or press pound for more options--

Hi, just returning a call about my taxes.

My name's Harold Lee.

Thank you for calling me back so quickly, Mr. Lee.

Let me pull up your file.

Let's discuss your options

to resolve the tax owing on your account.

I'm just running short on time right now.

How long will this take?

Depending on what we're able to accomplish,

we could be finished within the half hour.

What are my options?

The first option

is that you make a full lump-sum tax payment

to immediately reconcile your account.

Isn't there, like, an installment plan

or a monthly program or something?

We have a monthly payment program,

but the lien can only be withdrawn

with a minimum upfront payment of $10,000.

I can give you $5,000 right now and then pay the rest this year.

That certainly is an option,

but I unfortunately can't withdraw the lien

until $10,000 is paid off on your tax owing.

I should mention

that your tax status will affect your credit score

and international record.

We can be done in the next half hour?

What the fuck?

I need a loan of 10K.

I have a $4,500 deposit.

All right.

I'm just gonna need you to fill out this form.

Signature on the back.

Thanks.

All right, sir, you're all set.

The $10,000 is being transferred

to that account,

and the $5,500 loan from our branch.

Great. You're sure that can be processed right away?

Yeah, I'll do it immediately.

About how long?

Uh, 10-15 minutes?

Thank you.

Thank you for your patience.

I confirm

that we've received your partial tax payment

of $10,000.

Do you have any questions for me?

No. Thanks.

Mom.

Oh, hey, show Grandma your line-dancing videos.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, hi.

Everything okay at the shop?

Nothing to worry about.

How did the exam go?

Well, I'm glad it's over.

Which means?

It went well.

Hey, you don't have to finish,

but have a little.

I'm full, to be honest.

Just a spoonful.

Mom, how many times do I have to tell you?

Don't force it on her.

She said she's full.

It's really good.

Yeah, Mom, I don't really like it either.

I only ordered the red bean soup

because I thought you loved it.

What's the big deal? Just pack it up.

Which one's got the steamed chicken?

You can heat it up at home. We gotta go.

Sorry I'm so late.

It's fine.

I'm not even sure why we're doing this.

Convocation isn't until spring.

Well, it's a big deal for your mom.

She's really proud of you.

So am I, obviously.

Yeah, you don't have to say that.

I am.

Oh. Well, can I get a ride downtown?

I can take a cab if it's too far.

No problem.

A big party?

Maybe.

Can we go soon?

As soon as you finish the red bean soup.

Here, have mine.

- I'm okay. - Num, num, num.

Hi! Lucky.

Ah... She ordered lobster and crab.

Yeah.

Okay, put 500 on the card,

and then the rest

I'll pay you back later this week, I promise.

Come on, I always pay you back, always.

So what about Thursday?

I'm working.

What's the deal? You're working every day.

What about after Christmas?

Well, the whole point of "The Nutcracker"

is to go before Christmas.

Come on, I'm trying to get you to have fun.

I had fun last night.

So did I.

I'm going to miss you.

You're going to land in Bolivia

and fall in love with some hostel yoga hottie

and forget all about me.

There's still time for you to be that hostel yoga hottie.

I can't really afford to take two months off

and backpack, you know?

I gotta start looking for work.

You should talk to my dad. He'll hook you up.

Talk to him. Okay?

Okay, maybe.

You taste good.

Oh, my god, you're so weird.

Okay, thank you for the ride.

-Okay. -Bye.

Bye.

Come to South America.

Come to Bolivia.

Bye.

Text me.

This is in great shape.

So what do you think?

I saw a second-hand price of 25K.

There is a store near Southcentre

that'll take it.

25 is reasonable,

but to be safe, I'd say 20.

-Oh, that's great. -Mm-hmm.

Oh, there's one more thing to think about.

The serial number, right?

Yeah, it's probably registered.

Engraving a new number is not the hard part.

I'll have to think of something

that's definitely not in the system.

That's going to take some time to cross-reference.

You sure you can do it?

Of course.

I'm going to Mexico for the holidays tomorrow,

so... come back after Christmas. I'll get right on it.

You never let me down.

Lucky ever get you one of these?

He got me a Cartier choker once,

but we sold it for our down payment.

How are you two doing?

I'll find the photos.

It'll take some digging,

but, you know, it's not too late to recover 'em.

I mean, it doesn't sound like they're overwritten.

Happy to take it on

if it means you're giving me your customers. Right?

Okay, have a good one.

You have one unheard message.

Hello, this message is for Harold Lay Zhou Lee.

My name is Thomas,

and I'm calling from the Canada Revenue Agency

out of Gatineau.

My ID is 44592.

Would you please call back

to discuss your outstanding income tax payable?

My direct line is 613-159-2256,

and I'm in the office from 9:00 until 5:00 eastern.

Thank you.

Hello, Thomas speaking.

Hi.

You, uh, just called me about my taxes.

Can you please give me your name?

Harold Lee.

Ah, thanks for calling me back so quickly.

I'd like to discuss the options

to reconcile your outstanding income tax payable.

I don't mean to be rude,

but I thought we resolved everything yesterday.

Our records show

that this is our first time contacting you by phone

about this issue.

Um...

can you give me some more information, um,

so that I know that I'm talking to the actual CRA?

Of course.

You can verify my identification,

ID number, and phone number

on the Government of Canada's website

under "scam prevention."

Uh, and how else

would you be different from a scam?

The CRA will never use aggressive language

or threaten police action,

and will always send a letter by post

before we pursue any mandatory debt repayments

like liens

or the repossession of property.

And in the case that someone was scammed,

would that person be forgiven for their taxes?

Unfortunately,

the government cannot null taxes

that were incorrectly paid to a scammer,

but if you believe that you were the victim of a scam,

I can forward you to Service Canada--

No, no, I'm good.

Um, can I call you back?

Of course.

I'm available until 5:00 p.m. eastern.

Hello? Hey! Is anyone here?

Hey, man.

Remember me? I was here last night.

Look, I need you to cancel my transfer.

I'm sorry, I can't--

Look, I don't care if there's a penalty.

I just need you to cancel it, please.

I'm sorry, I can't.

I've-- The transfer's gone through.

I was literally here last night.

I gave you cash.

It's still fucking here, dude.

Look, if you don't leave,

I'm going to call the police.

Piece of shit.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Dude, what you guys do here makes me fucking sick!

Fuck you, you fuck.

Bye. Have a good day.

Fuck you!

Can I help you find anything specific?

Is Grace here?

I believe she is just up there.

Thanks.

Hey...

What are-- What are you doing here?

We need to talk.

Is everything okay?

I need some cash.

Yeah, yeah, I'll send that to you later.

No, no, no, I can't do an e-transfer.

I need cash.

I'm not doing this now.

I wouldn't ask if it wasn't an emergency.

Oh, my god, Dad,

it's super weird that you're here.

You need to leave.

Gigi...

My god, Dad, leave.

Hey, can we talk, please, Gigi?

Please?

God, I can't believe you're doing this to me right now.

I'm sorry.

Do you want me to get fired?

You think I want to be here? It's not a big deal.

It's a super big deal. Dad, you're in my store.

Sorry.

- Fine. - Thank you, Gigi. I love you.

Thank you.

I'll pay you back tomorrow, okay?

Whatever.

Oh, my god, Dad!

Dad, get out of here!

Do you want me to call security

to grab that guy?

No, that's fine. It's just my dad.

Oh, really?

Are you okay?

What?

Nothing.

I want to feel bad for people who get scammed,

but come on, give me a break.

If you fall for something like that,

you have a reason to think you're in trouble.

You set me up?

What are you talking about?

Just asking.

Are you asking if I leaked your information to scammers

so they'd call you?

Dude, come on. I'm a little offended.

I know, I know.

Look, you didn't fall for it, right?

So no big deal.

Yeah, no, no, I hung up.

Just take it as a sign that we should go to the bank.

Yeah. No, you're- you're right.

I'll think about it. How was class?

I hate Chinese school.

-Yikes. -Later.

"Hate's" a strong word.

I already go to regular school,

and then I come here.

Yeah, but you love learning.

I'm not learning anything.

Where's your jacket?

In the car.

So, Bruce Lee used to be a line dancer.

Did you know that Bruce Lee was a--was a ballroom dancer?

No.

Do you know Bruce Lee is?

-No. -Come on!

-Hi. -Hi.

Hey, can you go to your room? I've gotta talk to your dad.

Okay.

Uh-oh.

What's up?

Where's your wallet?

Fuck.

If you need cash, you can just ask.

You don't have to make a big performance out of it.

You maxed out the credit card again?

Oh...

How did you pay for the groceries?

I had to ask the cashier to spell out the total for me,

and I was so anxious

I couldn't tell if I had enough cash on me,

and I had to remove items,

and there was this big line.

"Eight-five dollars, two-five cents."

Everyone thought I was stupid.

That's brutal. I'm-I'm sorry, babe.

Look, it was for Grace's dinner.

I didn't think it would max out.

Look, I'll make it-- I'll pay it off right now.

Have you paid the mortgage?

Come on, are we going to do this?

Have you paid the mortgage?

Yes.

-Car? -Yes.

-Internet? -Yes.

Gas? Electricity?

-Insurance? -Yes. Yes.

-Line of credit? -Yes.

Yes...

What, you're perfect this month?

Show me the screenshots.

Leave me a couple of those for gas, please?

- Is that all right? - Yeah, thanks.

What are you going to do with the rest of that?

None of your business.

You got a boyfriend or something?

Haven't you insulted me enough today?

Come on.

Are you staying for dinner?

I've got leftovers at the shop.

I've got some big orders I gotta push through.

See you in a bit.

Yeah.

Hey, man, how's it going?

Lucky...

Hey, man.

Have a seat.

The old spot.

Yeah. Boys, this is Lucky.

Oh...

Let me get, uh, two... two five.

My deal?

Hey, do you know when Dad's coming home?

Do I look like your father's secretary?

You did well.

Well, I was getting good cards, man.

So, how's the fam?

Driving me crazy.

They want cell phones, laptops, the whole fucking Apple store.

I can't stand Christmas.

You should come see me.

I can get you a deal on all that stuff

for, like, half the price.

What's your connection?

I'm still tight with Maggie's dad.

He's got this hookup where

I buy product off him that's been damaged in transit.

I fix it up.

Usually it's only cosmetic.

I always thought Maggie should have gone pro.

She was a shark.

I wonder what would've happened

if she came to Vegas with us.

Cards would've been the same,

even if you two were still together.

Still would have beat Johnny Moss.

You would have!

That was insane.

I made 10 grand when you did that.

Still haunts me, that last hand.

When you went out of the tournament?

Yeah. It's the only time

I've lost king queen suited was in that game.

The only time?

Seriously, the only time.

I remember being pissed you didn't win the whole thing,

but we broke even.

Would have been a long car ride home

if I completely lost it.

It was still a fucking long 20-hour drive.

My back was wrecked!

What are you talking about?

Noel drove most of the way home.

So, what should I say

the next time I see your lovely wife?

Noel? You see her?

She said you quit cards.

Took a break.

So, what should I say?

Tell her

she looks like she lost some weight.

I like you, Lucky.

That's why I'm going to be honest with you.

I don't care how you bankroll yourself

or what you tell your wife,

but if you're here to ask me for money,

the answer's no.

I wasn't going to.

Good, because when you call me,

it's usually to ask for something,

and the last time you owed me money,

I had to send a guy to your place.

I really hated doing that.

Yeah.

Well, I'll come by your store, see what you have.

Sounds good.

Hey, leave the door open.

'Kay.

Dad?

Go back inside.

What are you doing? Dad, it's cold.

I know, hold on.

Give me a hug.

Why?

Okay, go.

It's cold, it's cold.

Remember our first trip to Vegas,

when we drove down with Toon?

What about it?

I was just thinking about driving down there

for that tournament and everything.

We were so fucking young.

I was Grace's age.

The same age I got pregnant.

You got pregnant on that trip?

In Vegas?

No.

Why is that so funny?

Because it was a terrible trip.

You played at that tournament

for, like, 24 hours straight,

which, I'm sorry, was boring for me.

Then you and Toon got blackout drunk

right after that,

and you were too hung over to do anything fun,

so 100% we didn't have sex that trip,

you were so out of it.

Right...

Speaking of.

I'm impressed this is your first of the year.

Yeah, I'm gonna fight this.

There's no sign that says it's a school zone there.

I trust you'll take care of it.

Okay, Mom.

Well, one of us has to be a parent,

so please don't ask Grace to help you with this.

Stop talking to me like I'm stupid.

Yes, you can trust me

to pay for my own fucking speeding ticket.

Put yourself in my shoes.

It's a little hard to leave you

in control of our finances after everything,

all things considered.

Why are you always hanging that over my head?

Maybe you wouldn't worry so much

if you could use a fucking calculator.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

She's your daughter.

Ashamed? She has a degree.

At least she's educated.

Fuck you, Lucky.

I'm not a fool, Lucky.

I know you're not fixing iPhones all night.

Are you cheating on me?

For all I know, you're gambling again.

I wouldn't do that to you.

Is there anything you want to tell me?

Anything.

I'm not cheating on you.

Get your fucking hands off me.

Dad, can we go here today?

What's that?

Oh, hon, I'd love to, but... no.

I know you want to.

You know your mom's allergic to dogs.

Dad, puppies are the cutest present, though.

Not as cute as you.

Hey.

-Hey. -No, hey, what--

What was the emergency yesterday?

Sorry?

Yesterday. The money you needed.

Look, I'll, uh, I'll take a shower,

and then I'll give you back what you gave me, okay?

And everything else?

What do you mean?

We'll talk about this later, okay?

Come on, Dad, you can't keep doing this.

I-I have to go to the bathroom.

Excuse me.

We'll talk about it later. -Dad!

Okay, thank you.

What's the matter with Dad?

Nothing. Everything's fine.

Really?

Did you hear them fighting this morning?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

What can I do to help?

You could help me pick out

what I'm going to wear to work?

- Okay. - Okay.

What's the deal with the warranty?

Bring it back to me,

and I'll make sure you can see

an official service provider.

And the two phones?

You sell phone cases?

No, I just do hardware.

Damn kids will probably want to choose their own anyways.

Yeah, right?

I had a great time at your game the other night.

Thanks again.

Yeah, it was like old times.

You remember Chris White? Does he still have a game?

He actually passed away a year ago.

Heart attack.

Shit, that's terrible.

Yeah, left behind a wife and two kids.

Been out of it for a while.

Do you know of any other, uh, big-money games?

What sort of bankroll are we talking?

A couple thousand.

Do you really need to get back into this?

I've been on a roll, man.

Look, I can give you a cut for making the introduction.

I know a game.

You'd probably clean up if you play like last night.

Buy-in, 10,000.

Where is it?

-Are you good for it, though? -Yeah, I'm good.

Because this guy can be a hard-ass.

You'd have to keep your shit tight.

Won't be a problem.

All right.

I want a 25% cut,

since I'm putting myself on the line for you.

All good with me.

Cool. I'll see what I can do.

Later, Lucky.

Thanks, man.

Oh!

Hey, Dave.

Sorry, I didn't hear you come in.

I didn't mean to scare you.

Uh, are you here for your pants?

Did I mess up the day?

No, no, no, that's not why I'm here.

Um...

Actually, I feel a little sheepish asking this,

but, um,

have, uh, you or anyone in the store

found a watch, by chance?

-A watch? -Yeah.

I have not seen anything

or heard anyone talking about one.

Yeah, I have a photo.

It's beautiful.

It was a gift from my wife.

You can imagine how much trouble I'll be in

if she finds out I lost it.

Of course.

Have you filed a report yet?

Uh, no.

Let me help you do that.

Oh, great.

Just right this way.

Just to the right.

Great. Uh... It's Grace?

Yes!

And your other daughter's name is, um...

Jenny, right? The dancer.

-Yes! -Ah.

She has a lot of pre-teen attitude at the moment.

Well, congratulations to Grace.

You know, if she's looking for some advice

on breaking into the industry,

tell her she can call me.

That is so kind of you.

Oh, I mean it, Noel.

I'm happy to help out if I can.

-Thank you. -Yeah.

I'll tell her.

Great.

Okay, today's date.

Uh...

Well, thank you.

Yeah, you're really welcome.

We'll keep an eye out for it.

Okay, I'll see you when I pick up those pants, Noel.

Sounds good.

And give my best to Grace again.

Thank you.

Fuck me...

I always thought she was the prettiest

of Jack Chan's daughters.

It's a shame she has to work with her hands.

We're trying our best.

"Trying"? "Trying..."

Is that why you came to see me?

I'd like to ask you for a loan of $30,000.

15,000.

Could I get some of the loan today?

I'll have the rest for you on Monday.

What was the name of your store again?

It won't come to that.

I'm going to pay you back right away.

Of course you are.

Hey, do you want a tea?

I'd love a tea.

I'll have whatever you're having.

Is Jenny in her room?

I think so.

Hey, has your father asked you for any money lately?

Nope.

You can be honest with me.

One of my clients wants to take you for coffee.

He wants to help find you a job.

Hey, what's wrong?

Do my grades even matter?

Of course they do.

You need them to get a good job,

and then you've gotta do the work to keep it.

You can do that, right?

Whoa! Whoa! Stop!

Whoa!

Stop, hey!

Come on, are you fucking kidding me?

Another 2,057.

Excuse me?

You've gotta pay for

all the outstanding tickets attached to the license

to get your car back.

That's why your car was towed.

That's insane.

Are you-- Are you kidding me?

It's not my decision, sir.

It's the city's way of negotiating.

Otherwise, nobody'd pay their tickets.

So, comes to $2,516.85.

We take cash or credit.

Hey, what's up?

I'm going to cut straight to the chase

and say the bad news.

I'm down at the impound.

Bummer.

Yeah, and I need $2,600 cash.

Okay... why?

They got this law

where you gotta pay your tickets off

before you can get your car back.

2,600?

Yeah. Afraid so.

That's a lot of tickets.

I'd put it on my credit card, but it's maxed out,

which is why I'm calling you.

I want to help you,

but I think it's best

if you figure this one out on your own.

On my own?

Dude, don't act like this with me, okay?

I-I need help, and I'm calling you.

I can't just give you 2,600 in cash.

You know why.

Look, Darren, I've been there for you, man.

Okay? I've been there for you when you hit rock bottom,

when you relapsed,

when you-- when you needed someone to bail you out.

I've been there for you every single time you called,

every time, and I need you now, man.

I need you down at the lot.

You happy now?

I'm sorry.

Let's just get this over with.

Look, here-here- here's the list of my tickets

and the total.

Look, I believe you, but...

dude, what is going on with you?

I'm just having a run of bad luck.

This isn't a run of bad luck.

It's you!

I can't keep bailing you out like this.

It's crazy.

We're not in our 20s anymore!

Just fix your car, read the parking signs!

Okay. Okay.

Are you gambling again?

No.

-Don't lie to me. -No, no, no,

but I-I need money.

Look, we can go to the bank, get your taxes sorted.

And then what?

And then I'm magically going to have money?

I mean, I'm not a professional like you, bud.

Come on.

Should I take another minimum-wage job?

Look, if you need a job, I can make some calls.

There's gotta be a better way, man.

I can't keep living like this.

Pay your tickets.

Let's talk about this when I have more time.

Okay.

Thank you.

Is that your car?

No, they-- they got-- they've got my keys inside, man!

-No, they don't! -Yeah, yeah, yeah, they do!

Come on!

I'm sorry!

You're gambling again!

No!

Lucky, give me my money back!

I'm sorry!

I can help you!

It's not that bad.

It's more just embarrassing.

You make it sound like this happens a lot.

Well, not as public as yesterday.

Having your dad ask you for money anywhere

is embarrassing and awkward for anyone.

How's your dad? How's that going?

Okay, hey, at least you're still talking to yours.

This is an old friend of mine, Lucky.

-Hey. -How's it going, man?

So, were your parents hippies?

He doesn't give off that vibe, does he?

How many Luckys do you think I've met before?

Lucky's just what I go by.

I haven't gone by my real name since I was a kid.

It's Harold, right?

Unfortunately.

Harold's my dad's name.

You like him?

I hate him.

Lucky got his name because he's an amazing gambler.

Grandma says there's no good gamblers,

just bad losers and luck.

You're not a bad loser?

I'm lucky.

So, you want to play at my game?

Yeah, sounds good, man.

Well, I like Toon,

so if he's repping you, you're good to go.

Buy-in's 10,000,

and check your cell phone with me at the door--

-Hey! -...but the rest

is pretty straightforward.

We're back.

All right, what are we celebrating?

We don't need a reason to have a good time.

You know Grace's dad?

Hi, Dad.

We just met.

Hi.

Oh, my god, it's so cool that you're here.

Oh, this is awesome.

You look way too young to be her dad.

I know. He's got really good genes.

No Botox necessary.

Grace, I didn't recognize you.

Last time I saw you, you were a baby.

Yes, yes, and running around naked or something.

Is she single?

Really?

So we'll see you tomorrow?

Yeah, probably.

You wanted to meet me to tell me that you might play?

No, I'll be there.

I'll be there, yeah.

So we'll see you tomorrow, then.

Dad, drink.

And cheers!

Cheers.

Thanks, man.

Let's go.

Um, it's still early.

I can find my own way home.

Grace, I don't want to make a scene.

Let's go, okay?

Okay. Bye.

Colin.

Bye...

Bye, babe.

Really? You can tell?

Your pupils are massive.

I can see the light reflecting off the back of your eyes.

Oh.

Don't tell me you've never taken M before.

I used to do that shit with my friends,

not with skids like that.

Skids? Oh, my god, what?

How do you know those people?

They're my friends.

Your friends? No, I've met your friends before.

That's a lot of people to know.

I don't think you know me that well.

I don't want you to ever hang out with them again.

Oh, my god, relax.

It's fucking dangerous!

If it's so dangerous, then why were you there?

It's none of your business.

Dad, are you gambling again?

I won't tell Mom.

Yeah.

How much do you need?

30,000.

Ah.

Okay.

Um...

I will give you my savings,

and then we can go to the bank and figure the rest out.

No. No, I'm not taking your money.

Yes, you will.

No, I won't.

It's never stopped you before.

This is different.

Dad, you are always asking me for money.

I...

That's 'cause I knew you could handle it, okay?

A couple hundred bucks, whatever.

This is different.

Your life...

is going to be different from mine.

It's not going to be held back by me anymore,

not like this.

Not like this.

I'm taking over.

No.

Yes.

If I don't, then Mom will find out.

It's lucky we found each other tonight.

I am not taking your money.

If it makes you feel better to say that, then okay,

but promise me

you're not going to gamble anymore.

Promise me.

Dear God...

please help me with this money.

Please.

For my family, not even for me.

For my family.

And I promise no more...

no more fucking around,

no more... lying.

I'll be good.

I'll...

Please.

Please...

Fuck.

-Hey. -Hey, good to see you.

Thanks.

Cash.

All right.

Can I get your cell phone? -Yeah.

Thank you.

All right.

So, drinks are in the fridge,

and you're over at that table over there, seat three.

You have any questions for me?

I will let you know if I do.

Good luck.

And I thought you were chasing the river.

What's with the face?

I folded.

Hey, man.

How'd you do?

Feeling good. Ready to head home.

Sure thing.

Let's see what you got.

17,400.

-This one, right? -Yeah.

Where were you?

At work.

Please be honest with me.

I was.

I know you weren't there.

What else are you hiding from me?

When did you take that?

Who gave this to you?

I'm not keeping it.

So you're seeing someone?

Of course not.

Then how did you get this? You can't afford this--

It's none of your business.

Do you know how much this is worth?

I'm giving it back. I'm not keeping it.

Were you gonna tell me about it?

What were you going to do with it?

Are you gambling again?

Yeah.

You are.

Get the fuck out of here.

I never want to see you again. I am done.

- Lucky?

Hey.

Oh.

He's going to come back.

He always does.

I don't know.

Mom, you don't have to stay with him for us.

I'm so sorry.

You shouldn't have to deal with this.

Kiddo, let's go.

I really shouldn't be so careless.

Oh, I wanted to double check.

Um, may I have my daughter reach out to you for a coffee?

Certainly. You have my card.

I do.

Bye now.

Bye.

Colt, would you please?

-Yeah, yeah. -Thank you.

Get in the middle, get in the middle.

Okay.

All right, you guys say cheese.

Cheese.

Cheese, everybody.

Cheese.

Cheese...

Cheese.

Like-- like there?

-Yup. -Mm-hmm?

Sure, and then you put this one there.

Okay.

Okay, yeah.

Now just give it a go.

All right.

-Hey! -Right?

She's not even watching.

What do you think?

Oh, Jenny.

He learned that for you.

I'm doing this for you.

It's a love-hate thing.

She--she really wants to be your bestie.

That's how she tries to get to know you.

It's a test.

-Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho. -Oh, if looks could kill.

Wow.

Are we doing a staring contest?

A staring contest? Yeah?

Give me one sec, I'll be right back.

All right.

I'm just going to excuse myself.

Hey,

I'd just like to pay for the bill at that table.

Yeah.

Just on credit.

Awesome, thank you.

Hey.

No, I-- I got it.

Okay, yeah.

All right.

Had to try.

You didn't have to do that.

Yes, I did.

He was just trying to make a good impression.

Well, you can tell him as long as I'm around,

I pay for the family meals.

Do you need money?

Just let me pay for lunch in peace, okay?

Okay.

You know, I always thought it was kind of silly

to wear the cap and the gown,

but it's actually kind of nice.

Yeah, it was-- It was nice for me too.

Yeah.

Hey, guys.

What are you talking about?

We're talking about you.

How fun.

What's going on now?

Colt wants to go get candy before we leave.

Colt does.

Yeah, I want to.

Just going to throw him under the bus?

Yeah.

Okay, well, meet me at the car.

Okay.

Thanks for supper, Mr. Lee.

Call me Lucky. Mr. Lee's too much.

Yeah, okay.

-Thanks again. -Bye, Dad.

Bye. I love you.

I love you too.

Okay. Bye, Dad. Love you.

Bye.

- So, sour candy? - Yeah.

What do you think of him?

Hmm, hoping he'll grow on me.

How's everything going?

You okay for money?

No, no, no, we'll be fine.

You? Do you need money?

I'm good.

I can take Jenny next weekend.

Okay, you can pick her up Saturday,

and then drop her in the evening.

She could stay the night.

I just got a pull-out.

Um, I think I'd prefer

for her to spend her evenings with me

for the time being.

Sorry.

How about coffee? Me and you.

We can go when Jenny's in Chinese school.

You look good, Lucky.

So how about coffee?

Does that work, or what?

I'll check my calendar.

You coming?

I'm parked over there.

Ah.

Hey, Grace said that you're selling your car.

Has that happened?

Yeah, there's a few guys coming to check it out

this weekend.

Wow... end of an era.

Hey...

It's going to be okay.

I'll see you next week.
