I've been trying to reach you.

It was a pain, but I spoke
to every media outlet,

I reimbursed every publication
for travel expenses.

We can talk about you
reimbursing me another time.

So as far as the media
is concerned,

Soop is momentarily
delayed until TBD.

Now, I know
what you're thinking:

you want to blame someone,
most likely me,

but this is not my fault.

Okay, there is no easy way
for me to say this,

so I am just going to say it.

Soop is dead.

Wade froze your bank accounts.

We've got no money
and no options.

Though we do have
a pending trademark lawsuit,

so that's exciting.

Seems Gwyneth's got a bug
up her ass

about Soop being
too close to Goop.

Which, obviously,
they're different,

but that doesn't matter now.

And I want to remind you
that I did warn you about Wade.

I advised you to talk to him
about having your own account,

but you decided
to be sneaky about it.

You did.
And you had to do it fast,

and you didn't get your own line
of credit secured,

which I advised,

so that's why we ended up here.

I remember it differently.

Of course you do.

This is what you do.

You know that's not true.

We should just agree
to disagree.

I fucking hate
when people say that.

- I am going to
let you calm down.
- Ooh...

Okay? You call me
when you're in a better place.

Okay. Very funny.

You're upset. I get it, okay?

Come on. Diana, stop it!

Stop it, Diana.

What the fuck are you doing?

What the fuck are you doing?

Shaking loose that
faulty memory of yours.

Your Honor, Mr. Blackwood

is hiding behind an NDA
and refusing to answer

- our questions.
- Your Honor, the NDA covers

what happened at the meeting
in Big Sur, which we believe

to be completely irrelevant
to the matter at hand

- and out of the scope
of discovery.
Well, we don't know

if it's irrelevant or not,
because we don't know

the details of what happened.

We propose
an evidentiary hearing,

get Mr. Blackwood in here,
let the court decide

if what happened in Big Sur
is relevant or not.

Absolutely not.
That's a terrible idea.

You're a terrible idea.

You're... I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Your Honor.

Ms. Sen,

why don't you explain to us
why it's a terrible idea?

Yeah, maybe throw in a legal
reason or two while you're...

-Mr. McBride.
-I'm sorry.
-Your Honor,

Mr. McBride is simply using
his current lawsuit,

this illegally solicited
class action...

That's not true. And sanctioned
by this very court.

Mr. McBride is using this case

to go on a fishing expedition
for his next one.

Well, if the court decides
that your client's testimony

is not relevant, you can keep
your little secrets.

We're talking about legally
binding documents here,

not disclosing
a secret handshake

to access
the clubhouse out back.

Your Honor, if the defense
denies us access

to the information
protected by the NDA,

then I'm going to need
a continuance. Maybe even two.

The idea of this case
dragging on for months,

and me having to babysit
the two of you, not appealing.

Ms. Miller, when is the earliest
possible day we can do this?

We have an opening
tomorrow morning.

Done. Bingo.

- Thank you, Your Honor.
- I am doing this for me,
not for you.

Tomorrow's very short notice
for us, Your Honor.

Work it out, Ms. Sen.

- Court dismissed.
- All rise.

We get Blackwood in here,
Cooperman will shit himself.

I hope he doesn't do that.

It's possible the judge
will rule in our favor,

and everything you say in court
tomorrow will be inadmissible.

Well, that sounds
like a good thing.

In theory, it should be.

But either way, your testimony
is going to be risky.

My God.

You like this, don't you?

Maybe.

Wade, I'm serious.

Billy McBride is going to ask
you who signed NDAs.

So what's wrong with that?

Then he's going to ask you,

"Was there anyone else in
the room who didn't sign NDAs?"

How honest do I have to be?

Here's the risk:
if you're not completely honest,

and you don't mention Diana,
you'll perjure yourself.

I can't undo perjury.

- Diana will be exposed.
- And vulnerable.

Why didn't you have her
sign an NDA?

Because I wanted to protect her,
and, at the time,

I didn't want any evidence
that she was even there.

I understand how, 11 years ago,
that could've made sense.

Nobody had a crystal ball
and could predict

that we would be here, now,
but here we are.

What happens if I say
that she was there?

It becomes a risk
not bound by law.

So...

then she can either keep
her fucking mouth shut,

or she can run to Billy
and put me up the river.

How much are you willing to risk

on the strength
of your relationship?

Shit.

It appears
as if I've painted myself

into a fucking pickle.

If the judge does not rule
in our favor,

then Billy has
everything he needs.

And if the judge does rule
in our favor,

Billy could still get
everything he needs.

So it all comes down
to me and Diana.

How much we trust each other.

Wade, you should be scared.

Why? She could've already gone
running to Billy.

You should be asking yourself
why she hasn't.

What is she waiting for?

Guess we'll find out.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Why don't you buy me a drink?

Hey, Jimmy, a bourbon
for the, lady here,

- and I better have one, too.
- Yes, sir.

- On the rocks, please.
- Yes, ma'am.

- Real ones?
- Yeah.

Thank you.

Well, good.

- Thank you so much.
- Yup.

- So...
- So.

An interesting investment
opportunity has come up,

and, of course
I thought of you first.

- Is that right?
- Why wouldn't I?

I mean, no particular reason,
I, but I'm flattered.

Well, you should be.

You're my partner.

So I...

am thinking of rebranding
and relaunching Soop.

I mean, we, we hit
a trademark snag, and, um...

Well, frankly, it opened my eyes
to new, new possibilities.

So this would be
your opportunity

to get in on the ground floor.

Yeah, for slop, with,
you and, Wade, of course?

No, no. No. It's not about Wade.

It's about me and my business.

Now, what can
I count on you for?

Well, I'll have to look
at the business plan,

and of course the prospectus,
and...

then I'll, consider it.

I...

I don't need you to consider it,
I need your capital.

Well, I'm not exactly flush

- on capital right now, am I?
- What about the casino?

Well, you see,
that's another big slice

of baloney to discuss, yeah.

So, I'd have to go through
the tribal council, and...

What the fuck are we talking
about here, Joe?

Whoa. Simmer down there, chief.

Look, I didn't mean
to upset you.

And yet, you have.

- Yeah.
- Listen...

you and I have a very fruitful
business relationship.

Right?

Above and below ground.

And you have been paid
quite handsomely for that.

So why don't you take a moment
and really think

about which side of the coin
you want to be on?

I see.

How's Stephanie?

Diana, just...

She should've sold me
Roy's land.

She wouldn't be mixed up
in this lawsuit.

All right, don't.
Just don't, okay?

Give her my love!

What the fuck
are you looking at?

Hey, lady, your bad day
doesn't have to be my bad day.

That's where you're wrong.

- Jimmy, cut her off.
- Yes, ma'am.

Hey, lady, you are messing
with the wrong carny whore.

Stop. Stop.

- Seriously?
- Yeah.

Did I do something wrong?

No.

I'll just,
I'll see you in class, okay?

Okay...

Whatever.

Hey.

Your secretary said
you have Wade Blackwood

on the stand today.
I want to watch.

I'm sorry, well... we can't do
that. It's a closed hearing.

I just want to hear him
say he stole our water.

We'll keep you posted. Okay?

I promise.

Do you solemnly state
that the evidence

you shall give in this
matter shall be the truth,

the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?

I do.

Your Honor, she can't
be here. She's a witness.

Thank you, Ms. Papagian.

Excuse me, ma'am?

This is a closed hearing.

Your Honor, this is
Wade Blackwood's sister.

So what? So what?

Any objections, Mr. McBride?

No, Your Honor.

Um....

- What?
- It's okay.

I want her to hear what he says.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Good morning, Mr. Blackwood.

- Morning.
- I just want to remind you

that anything you say is under
the penalty of perjury.

Objection. Mr. Blackwood knows

he's under oath.
He just took it.

Let's move it along,
Mr. McBride.

Yes, Your Honor.

Just one more thing.

You can plead the Fifth,
if you committed any crimes

you'd rather not admit to.

- That won't be a problem.
- Okay, good.

How much are you worth?

Why don't you tell me?

Okay, I will.
Two billion dollars.

Two billion? Fair enough.

Okay.

How much land do you own
in the Central Valley?

About... 200,000 acres.

Objection. Where is this going?

I'm just laying
a little groundwork, ma'am.

- Lay it a little quicker,
Mr. McBride.
- Yes, Your Honor.

- Thank you.
- So, 200,000 acres.

Okay, so I'm no mathematician,

but I think
that's right at about...

300 square miles,
something like that?

- Sounds about right.
- What do you grow?

- Almonds.
- How much water do
you use per year?

About...

400,000 acre-feet.

Wow.

That's more than two-thirds

of what the entire city
of Los Angeles uses.

Objection.
Counsel is testifying.

I'm sorry.
My apologies, Your Honor.

That was just
kind of overwhelming

to hear that figure, and I-I-I
just blurted it out.

You can strike that
from the record.

Noted.

Approximately how many
almond trees do you have?

I figure...

ten million,

over 160,000 acres.

And how much is that worth?

D-Depending on the market, um...

a-around, 800 million.

- That's a lot of nuts.
- Dollars.

I read somewhere that it takes
a gallon of water

to grow one almond;
is that right?

I've... I've never done the math.

Why does it take so much water?

Almonds are a permanent crop.

They need to be watered
year round or they will die.

Objection.
Are we there yet?

We're there.

During the last record drought,

the State of California
cut your water deliveries.

Must have destroyed
a lot of your crop.

Well, that was
a while back, um...

I believe we had
to rip out 40,000 acres

of perfectly healthy trees

because we just
couldn't water them.

Probably cost you
a lot of money.

- Yeah.
- Because the state of California

cut your water deliveries
during the drought.

- Yes.
- Was the state

- in breach of contract?
- Yes.

And you threatened to sue the
state for breach of contract.

Yes.

And how did the state
react to that?

We made a deal.

A deal that give you control
over the newly constructed

$98 million water bank

right here in
Blackwood County, right?

- Yes.
- So, the state of California's

entire surplus of water
is just sitting there

underground in an aquifer,
a water bank,

right at your feet?

- Yes.
- That was very kind
of them, wasn't it?

The state recognized
how valuable

the Central Valley's agriculture
was to the California economy.

So when you threatened to sue
the state of California,

they came to you, knowing how
important your almond crop is

to the economy,
and just gifted you the entire

state of California's
surplus of water?

No. No, I approached them.

You went to them?

Yes.

Well, originally you said
they came to you.

My mistake.
I misspoke.

Don't make that mistake again.

Understood.

Who did you go to
from the state?

The deputy director
of the State Water Department.

Spencer Jackson.

So, you were given control
of the state water bank.

What was Spencer Jackson
given in return?

A whole lot of money.

Your Honor, may I have
a moment with my client?

No. Let me.

Mr. Blackwood,

you are aware that
you can plead the Fifth

in order to avoid
implicating yourself in a crime?

- Yes, sir.
- Good.

But I am a businessman.

I am also a concerned citizen
with a vested interest

in Mr. Jackson's
political career.

So you bribed Mr. Jackson
to give you the water bank,

and then you had him sign
an NDA to cover it up.

They were not bribes,
they were political donations.

And it's all legal.

And if you don't like it,
you can complain to Congress.

It's good to be rich,
isn't it, Mr. Blackwood?

Well, I've been rich
and I've been poor,

and believe me, rich is better.

So, this arrangement,
this deal that was made,

this was the meeting that was
held in 2008 in Big Sur?

Yes.

- The Big Sur agreement?
- Yes, sir.

Did everyone at that meeting
sign an NDA?

- No.
- No?

No. My assistant,
Ms. Summers.

She signed the NDA, but she was
not part of the agreement.

Dolores Summers?

I understand that she doesn't
work for you anymore.

- Why is that?
- She quit.

I wonder why she would do that.

I wonder why people do anything.

So, in other words,
you have no idea.

- Yes. I don't.
- Can you tell us

everyone who signed an NDA
who was at the meeting

in Big Sur in 2008?

Myself, Mr. Jackson,
Ms. Summers, Roy Wheeler,

Gerry Kernen, Warren Hebb...

and Marisol Silva.

Marisol Silva?

As in the mayor of Los Angeles?

That Marisol Silva?

She wasn't mayor at the time.

She was a city councilwoman
representing the Los Angeles

Metropolitan Water District.

In an official capacity?

Because there's no record

of Ms. Silva's involvement

in the L.A. County
Metro Water District.

All I know is that
she took care of it.

I guess you'd have to ask her.

I'd love to ask her,
but I can't, can I?

Because of the NDA.

Well, if this hearing
goes your way,

you can ask her
anything you want.

But I believe that everything
about the Big Sur agreement

is legal.

The right people signed
the right pieces of paper.

- For a price.
- Still legal.

So you just woke up
one morning and thought,

"I'm gonna rob the state
of California's water bank,

"and I'm gonna deny the citizens
of Blackwood County

"their share of water
because the water bank is

"right here in Blackwood County,
my name is Blackwood,

so I figure it's mine"?
Is that about it?

-Objection!
Was that even a question?
-Yes, it was.

Sustained.

Mr. McBride, move on.

Okay, I'll rephrase it.

Once you gained control
of the water bank,

did you, as president of the
Blackwood County Water Board,

decide to cut off
the residents' water

in order to keep the
Tall Grass Farming Company,

your billion-dollar
agricultural conglomerate,

profitable?

All perfectly legal.

Well, I think we should
let a jury decide

if what you did was
perfectly legal.

Essentially, you privatized
a public resource

for your own financial gain.

I think they may see it
differently than you.

Objection. Does Mr. McBride have
any actual questions,

- or are we done here?
- Sustained.

Is there anything else,
Mr. McBride?

There is.

I got one more thing here.

Was this picture taken
at the Big Sur meeting?

Yes.

Okay. Was that before or after
the NDAs were signed?

After, I think.

So it was kind of like
a celebration?

Objection. This is the first
time I've seen that photo.

I'm just trying to authenticate
the picture, Your Honor.

Overruled.
You can continue.

Thank you, Your Honor.
Who took this picture,

Mr. Blackwood?

I don't recall.

Okay, let's go down
the list here.

Can we eliminate the four people
in the picture,

or did you have one of those
little fancy timers

where you set it and
run over there real quick,

or something like that, did you?

I think we can eliminate
the four of us.

Okay, so we can eliminate
the four of you.

That leaves three options:
Mr. Jackson, Ms. Silva

and Ms. Summers;
does that ring a bell?

Jog your memory a little bit?

Well, actually,
it doesn't really matter

if you remember or not,
because we could

just get all three of 'em
in here,

and we can put 'em on the stand,
and they can tell the court

who took the picture.

Hey...

it was my sister, Diana.

Okay.

So your sister Diana
took the picture.

- Did she sign an NDA?
- No.

- But she was at the meeting?
- Yes.

So I could put her on the stand,

and she could testify
to everything

that was done and said
in that meeting in Big Sur?

Everything covered by your NDA.

- I'm not a lawyer.
- I know that.

But I am.
The answer is yes.

And let me ask you
something else.

Why did you not make her
sign an NDA?

Objection. This has gone on
far too long.

What happened at Big Sur
11 years ago,

and who signed an NDA
or not and why,

clearly has nothing to do
with Mr. McBride's clients,

and why they don't have
water today.

Sustained.

If you don't have
anything else, Mr. McBride,

I have heard enough
to make my decision.

I'm sorry, Your Honor?

Do you have anything else, or
would you like me to rule now?

Okay. Well, I do have
something to add.

Your Honor, i-if there's
one place in America

where the powerless
and unprotected

should be able to come
to find justice...

it should be right here
in a court of law.

So, before you make
your decision,

I just want you
to consider this.

We're living in a time
of record inequality.

The top one percent
is wealthier than

the bottom 90% combined.

I mean, Mr. Blackwood
just explained that

when the state had to cut back
on his water delivery,

he used his privilege
and his wealth

to gain control of
a $100 million water bank,

and all the state's surplus
of water in return.

And where does that leave
my clients?

Where does it leave
any of the 90%, or the 99%?

They're-they're not looking
to become multibillionaires.

They just want a drink of water.

In a perfect world...

this is where we find the truth.

And the truth is
people are suffering.

So, I-I'm just asking you...

when you're considering this...

to be fair and just to the 90%.

And the 99%.

And don't let it become
white noise to you.

You know...

In our short time in office,

we have sought to restore
integrity

and accountability to City Hall.

But we cannot rest
on our accomplishments,

because the world is looking
to us for leadership

and energy and imagination.

Because Los Angeles has
always been an innovator.

We can and we must

harness the unbelievable
capital of this city

to tackle the issues...
Homelessness, inequality

and the consequences
of a warming planet.

But it's not just business
and political leaders

that are leading
the way forward.

It's all of you.

As I spend time
with students like you,

I find inspiration
in your energy

and commitment
to making Los Angeles

and California the leader in the
progressive infrastructures...

that will serve and protect
our delicate environment

for years to come.

The country is looking for you,
the future leaders,

to be active and engaged
on the local level.

It's your local engagement
that will inspire the change

our government needs.

So, pay attention, get loud,

and you will begin to see
the change this country needs

to move forward.
Thank you.

Thank you.

Nah, you don't want to
do that, do you?

Don't you have some studying
you need to do?

Run along.

Go ahead, go read a book.

And, Denise,
tell your dad I said hi.

Are we gonna talk about
what's-her-nuts?

What?

He'll see you now.

Ms. Sen, please.

Thank you.

Mr. Blackwood's testimony
is out,

as is everything that has to do

with the meeting in Big Sur.

What do you mean, it's out?

It's not relevant
to your case, Ms. Papagian.

How the defendants got
possession of the water bank,

no matter how disgusting,
has nothing to do with

their mismanagement of it since.

So you're in Blackwood's pocket
now, too?

Watch it, Mr. McBride.

You made your point in there
and you got my attention.

Congratulations.

But what do you want me
to do with that testimony?

I can't put it
in front of a jury.

Not only is it irrelevant,

it is highly prejudicial.

Well, of course
it's highly prejudicial.

That's why we're suing him.

Given the nature
of Mr. Blackwood's testimony,

we'd like to have
the transcript sealed.

Granted.

- Really?!
- Really.

And we're asking the court
to issue a protective measure

preventing any further
disclosure under the NDA.

- Granted.
- So you're gonna leave us

with absolutely nothing,
is that it?

Mr. McBride, you came here
with nothing;

and you've done nothing
but waste my time and Ms. Sen's.

Speaking of which, I normally
don't like to do this,

but Mr. Cooperman has insisted
the plaintiffs be responsible

for our costs.

Granted.

Mr. McBride,
you're hereby notified

that you're responsible
for Mr. Blackwood's

attorney's fees for the hearing.

Can we be heard at all,

or has this become
a private transaction

between you and Blackwood?

I have heard enough from you,
Mr. McBride.

And you're not helping yourself.

And finally, we're moving
for summary judgment.

As Mr. McBride himself
has noted,

he no longer has any evidence
supporting any of his claims.

There is no case left.

Mr. McBride, you have two weeks
to find something,

or I'll have no choice but
to rule in favor of the defense.

And if you don't like that,

well, then you can take it up
on appeal then.

There's no time for appeals.

It'll drag on for 20 years
and you know it.

But these people need water
right now.

Well, if time is a factor,

why don't you get out
of my court and settle?

We're done here.

With all due respect,
Your Honor...

On second thought,
forget that part.

Good thinking, Mr. McBride.

- Well...
- Jesus.

Wade practically threw her
under the bus,

so maybe she'll want
to talk to us now.

God...

No.

My God. You're hiding
from her up here, aren't you?

Would you stop the
psychoanalysis bullshit, please?

Okay, fine.

You know why?
Because I don't even care

about your imaginary love life.

What I do need
to understand, though,

is why is she always

allowed to get away with it?

We don't have any evidence
against her.

That wouldn't have
stopped you before.

Well, I got a lot of shit
on my mind.

I don't want to lose this case,
all right?

Who wants to lose this case?
I don't want to lose this case.

Who wants to lose this case?
Nobody.

What I do want is for us to win
this, so afterwards,

you can take care of this.
All right?

Of course.

That's not a yes.

That's what "of course" means,

- it means "yes."
- Nope!

- Goddammit.
- Come on...

- Wait, wait.
I don't understand.

So Wade Blackwood answered
all your questions in trial.

It-it was only a hearing.

- But you can't tell us
what he said?
- No.

That's bullshit!

Could you, like,
write it down on a napkin?

No. The testimony is sealed,

and we can't use it
if we go to trial.

Did Blackwood admit
to stealing our water?

- Son of a bitch, he admitted it.
- I didn't say that.

He admitted to screwing us,
and you can't use it in court

to get our water back?

I mean, isn't that
our whole case right there?

All right...

Listen, listen.

I understand
that this is frustrating, okay?

But we do have other options

to keep the case moving forward.

What options?

Let me guess...

- you can't say.
- Exactly.

We are working on it...

We are doing our best...
and you have to be patient.

Okay. I don't have any water,
and the bank is on my ass,

so I don't have time
to be patient.

- Understood.
Are you and McBride
even good

at being lawyers?
'Cause you're doing a shit job

from where I'm standing.

Okay.

Thank you.

- Where the fuck are you going?
- Are you gonna let her go?

Hey! Hey!

Hey, you're ditching us?
Real nice.

We are going up against
one of the biggest law firms

in the state, representing
one of the wealthiest men

in the country,
and we're doing it pro bono.

- Do you know
what pro bono means?
- Yeah, free.

Hey, free. Bingo.
It's fucking free,

and you should be so lucky
as to have me on your side.

And I know that I'm being sharp
with you right now,

but here's the deal:
I'm running on fumes,

I am knocked up,
my allergies are on fire

because I've been
running around here...

Here,
in Satan's dusty ass crack...

Trying to help you,

breathing in God knows what,
and now I have a rash.

So the least that you
and your friends can do

is have some patience
because, and I'm sorry,

you don't have any other options
but to let us do our job,

which we, by the way,
are very fucking good at!

Congratulations.

For what?

- You're pregnant.
- Yes.

Yes, I am.

What's up, Wade?

Is Diana here?

I don't know where she is.

Yeah, well, the office is
closed. I tried over there.

Maybe she vanished.

Yeah.

Well, we're not supposed to be
talking to each other,

so you have a good night...

Aw, I don't give a shit
about all that legal crap.

- Yeah, I know you don't.
- Yeah.

Hey, hold on a minute.

Hey, Billy.

This sure has been fun,
hasn't it?

You think?

Look, let's just forget
about those lawyers.

How do we settle this thing?

Does it really just come down
to a number?

No, this doesn't work like that.

Yeah...

Come on, Billy...
how many zeros?

Like I said,
you have a good night.

What do you want?

Are you mad at me?

Does it matter?

Listen, I'm sorry I had to name
you as a co-defendant

in this lawsuit, but...
it was all or nothing.

Roy Wheeler's loyalties
got all tied up

in some dirty business;

it's nothing personal
against you.

I'd like to offer you
a settlement.

I'll take Wheeler's estate and
businesses out of the lawsuit,

and, and you can spend the
inheritance however you want to.

What's the catch?

I need a little help.

See, before Roy died, he got
a little loose-lipped with me

and, he told me I was
looking in the wrong direction

when I was checking out
the Water Board.

Do you know what he meant?

It's probably Roy's way
of telling you to fuck off.

Yeah, I don't think so.

I think it means something.

But if you want me to fuck off,
I'll fuck off...

but then I won't have
the information I need

to drop this lawsuit
against you.

I don't know what Roy meant.

Okay.

Well, if it comes to you,
you know where to find me.

Yeah.

Billy knows you're desperate.

Am I?

You should be.

Why, are you going to testify
against me?

Yeah... I don't know yet.

I'll know after I talk to Billy.

Why don't you make me
the same deal you made him?

I'll tell you exactly
how many zeros it would take.

I don't have to.

You trust me that much?

Not a bit.

You know, um... your tunnel,

on federal land, every bit
of that was paid for

out of that bullshit
Fer-de-lance company

that you cooked up.

So you're on the hook for that.

Except it's all your money.

No. No, no, no; no, no.

That's your company.
Not my company.

And the chain of custody
of that money leads back to you.

And that's the way
a jury's gonna see it.

I warned you.
Roy warned you.

Digging a tunnel on federal land

was going to bite you
in the ass,

and now it has,
and you don't even feel it.

We're talking
about hard time, Diana.

Billy doesn't know anything
about the tunnel.

Until he does.

Well, you'd be
shooting yourself in the foot

if you told him about it.

Are you so sure about that?

Yes.

Absolutely?

Yes.

Or...

You and me...

we can make nice.

Truce.

Never.

That's what I love about you.

- Ooh, it's getting
exciting, isn't it?

Really..

It's on.

He needs information from Roy.

That's gonna be
kind of tricky...

him, being dead and all.

Yeah.

Unless...

you have the information
he's looking for.

Right.

Well, do you?

Maybe.

If I help with the lawsuit,
Diana's gonna go after you.

She sucks.

And...

I don't want to
cause problems for you, Joe.

Listen...

You help Billy McBride,
and he'll help you.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Look, I...

I know I've been a shitty

stepfather and all.

Yeah, well...

It's okay.

I just don't want
to see you get hurt.

Okay.

Thanks.

See you.

Patty.

So I am not going on the stand.

My laundry is not
for public viewing,

so let's make a deal.

I have to talk to Billy.

I'd just like to talk to you.
I mean, we have the connection.

I know you, pretty intimately,

and after everything
I've done for you...

Hey, have you tried
to contact your mother?

You must be so curious.

We're gonna subpoena you,

and you're gonna answer
our questions in court.

You don't even know
what questions to ask.

So what did you put?

I don't know.

I think it might be, like...

Um, I'll be right back.
One second.

Hey.

Sorry, were you busy?

Kind of. What's up?

Fuck, sorry, I'm an asshole.

What? What's wrong?

I think I'm gonna
drop out of school.

Why?

I don't belong here.

I hate it. I hate everything
about this stupid fucking place.

What happened?

I almost just, like,

knifed somebody.

- I-I don't...
- What?

I went to Marisol's speech,

and nothing happened, I just...

It feels like

my brain is spinning out and...

there's nothing I can do
about Marisol,

or my dad, or my life,
and I'm, like,

drinking too much,
and I know that,

- I just...
- Okay, okay.

- I feel like I'm drowning.
- Come on.

All right, look,

I'm gonna pack up
my stuff, okay?

I don't want you
to have to do that.

Stop, stop.

We're gonna go for a walk.

You're gonna feel better,
I promise.

All right, you're just gonna
have to work some stuff out,

maybe talk to someone, okay?

- Okay.
- Don't cry.

So the court hearing
didn't go well...

and she's put herself under?

That's what I told you.

So...

How long has she been out?

About an hour.

It's happening again, isn't it?

Yeah.

She's losing control.

Mom. Hey.

Hi, boys.

Um, did you find
what you were looking for?

Careful.

Yes.

We only have each other.

You know?

Just the three of us

against the world.

What about Uncle Wade?

What about him?

You two are the only ones
that matter.

Maybe it's time to

cull the herd,
as the farmers would say.

Let's go for a drive.

Where are we going, Mom?

Shh.

Give me the keys.

Give me the keys.

Thank you.

Sweet boy.

Whoa, whoa, Mom.

Aw, you afraid I might
lose control?

Jesus, Ma, you can't do that.

- You're scaring me.
- Just kidding.

Hey.

You studying your brains out?

Trying to.

How about Denise? I haven't
heard from her in a while.

Yeah, Denise is, um...

She's okay. I'm introducing her
to some people

who could help her through the
typical freshman rough stuff.

Yeah, well, I appreciate it.

Listen, I have to
tell you something

really important, okay?

Sure.

What's up?

Happy birthday.

Fucking asshole.

What did you think
I was gonna say?

I don't know,
that you got arrested,

or that, you know, you fucking
hit someone with your car.

You never remembered
my birthday.

Yeah, well,

as they say, there's
a first time for everything.

Thank you for remembering.

Yeah, of course.

Hey, I'll call you back
later, okay?

Good night.

All right, honey,
happy birthday. Bye.

Bad boys with a death wish,
they're fun,

until one day, you find yourself
in the passenger seat,

and you're screaming
at the top of your lungs

to slow the fuck down,

and he's waving
a pistol in the air saying,

"You want a piece of this?"
The next thing you know,

you're at a fucking
Waffle House at 3:00 a.m.,

and he's taking hostages.

- Jesus Christ.
- Sorry to get personal.

Okay, that's fine, um,
I just want to,

I just want to go back
for a second.

How often does Billy
talk about dying?

Not much, just while he's awake.

Okay.

Look, the subject comes up
around drink five,

maybe it's drink seven.
You know, the guy's a mess,

and let me tell you something,
if I'm saying he's a mess,

- that's some f...
- Fucking mess. Yup.

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

No. That's...

I-I'm...

I'm looking for Billy.

We're all looking for Billy.
Join the club.

He's not here. Um, I'm
his partner. Can I help you?

Um, tell Billy I expect him

to follow through
with his promise.

What's this?

It's directions
for where to look.
