[siren whooping]

-Hey, what's up? -Whatever you need, I got it.

The [bleep]?

[car idling]

[thudding]

[muffled yelling]

[muffled yelling]

With drugs and crime at an all-time high,

our streets look like a Third World nation.

Every neighborhood and corner

has been infested with bad people

who will do anything to take what they want

forcing law-abiding, goodhearted citizens

to live in fear every day.

As your district attorney, I have worked tirelessly

to clean up our streets,

and I promise I will continue to do so

if re-elected this November

because we all deserve better

if we follow the law.

I'm Glen Garrey, and I approve this message.

Get away!

I'm the luckiest guy around.

Truly a dream come true.

We're actually expecting, so it's a bit of a rush

to the altar before she pops.

Ah, what are you expecting?

-A baby. -Aw.

She actually proposed to me

with the pregnancy test.

Both at the same time, it was--

My whole life changed in one moment.

Speaking of, we have a pretty busy day ahead,

-so if we could just-- -There's this things about

her eyes, they're just so

-welcoming. -Could we

-go back to-- -Whose eyes

should the baby have?

Hers, right?

-Right. -They're just the best eyes.

Uh, also it's your sister's big birthday.

Oh, no, I don't have a sister.

Well, sister-in-law, my sister.

It's his sister-in-law, my sister's birthday,

-so-- -It is?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I told you.

You were eating corn, or-- I don't remember what happened.

-Yeah, corn's loud. -Well, of course.

This will only take a moment of your time.

Now, you see we have many different plans,

all great value, but the Platinum

is the most popular and most comprehensive.

[kettle whistling]

Oh, no!

Allow me.

Oh, thank you.

[tapping on aquarium]

Do they ever eat each other?

Sorry?

Seems like they would being cooped up and all.

No, they would never eat each other.

Not unless you gave them a reason to...

in which case you would be covered

under our Tails and Scales plan should you elect it.

You're the breadwinner here, correct?

Uh, I don't know what that matters.

You're young, you're newly married.

Mazel tov, by the way.

Oh, thank you.

But while it might feel like you have

your whole lives ahead of you, the reality is...

you don't.

And what are you gonna do when he's gone, Mark?

You have to survive somehow.

I think I can handle--

excuse me--uh, the cups are up and to the right.

Imagine this scenario.

You wake up one morning,

you roll over to give your lovely husband a kiss

same as you always do, but this time

that kiss lands on ice-cold cheeks.

[gasps lightly]

Or, you're leaving work for the night,

you're walking through the dark parking lot,

-bam! -Ah!

You've just been shot in the stomach

by some druggie lowlife

lookin' to score their next high,

leaving you to bleed out and die.

Bam!

Now Mark's all alone,

left to grow old all by himself.

[beating table]

Nobody to take care of him,

and nobody left to feed him.

Tea bags?

Oh, yeah, um,

third drawer on the left.

We'll get Tails and Scales just to be on the safe--

-Thank you for being honest. -Yeah, I mean,

we're gonna have to figure something out.

There's nothing that you're good at,

so we just, we should probably protect you

-just in case, you know. -Now, as I was saying,

we have three levels of life insurance,

but only the Platinum plan covers everything from

normal death to accidental suicide,

even mysterious disappearance.

Now, the most important thing in life

is that we protect the ones we love.

But, we cannot do that unless we take care of ourselves first.

We'll go with the Platinum package.

-Mm-hmm. -Ha! Fantastic!

Hey, so, so you know, as you know,

Carrie's due in a few months.

You know that.

We've been doing a lot of planning for the baby,

which has been pretty intense.

We're arguing about the baby room,

and she wants gender neutral colors,

I want gender inclusive colors, which is just silly

because colors can't have a gender, you know,

they're not having sex with each other--

unless you count when colors mix and make another color,

like blue and yellow make green.

When there's that case, then blue is dad,

yellow's mom, obviously. But...

What I'm trying to say is, Sonny,

will you be my kid's godfather?

Godfather?

It's really just a title

to show how important you are to me.

I don't even know the kid, and you're askin' me to what?

I mean, you and Carrie are the closest thing

I ever had to family.

Noah, we're co-workers.

That's all.

Let's just put a pin in it.

-Okay? -Yeah? Great!

Put all the pins you need.

I'll send you an email. I'll remind you tomorrow.

Ah, it's the red coats.

I hope you paid for those burgers because that BMW

does not run on free meals.

Show him the receipt.

Listen, we'd love to stay and chat, Pops,

but we really need to get back to work.

Ah, yes,

the high stakes world of insurance sales.

How's all that going anyway?

Great, actually.

We hold the best sales record in the office.

"We," so how are you the best

if "we" are tied for first place?

I think you're missing the point here.

It seems to me you're saying that there are

two of you in first place.

That's what he's saying, right, Nathan?

Uh, it's Noah.

-What? -Yes, we're partners.

What I'm saying is I think most parents would be proud.

Proud of what?

Your, your five-figure salary and your, your split commission?

I would be ashamed

to admit that I made that little of money,

but clearly bringing shame to your family's reputation

doesn't seem to bother you all that much, does it, son?

Come on, Noah.

-So sad. -Bye, Mr. Reddy.

This was awesome. I never had a dad, so--

Noah, chop, chop!

Sorry.

Just move around him, just push past him!

-Go right. -Oh, my God,

where would you like to go, son?

-Sorry. -Thanks for eating

at Faithful Cow!

Your business is sacred to us!

[water running]

[scrubbing]

[mop wiping]

Ah, hey, Lucas.

Phil.

It's been six months since he went missing.

Everyone, including the police,

are telling me to accept that my husband's dead.

And, and I have.

Hell, we had a service for him last week!

Look, we have a system here, ma'am,

and it's our job to maintain it.

But everything is processed

thoroughly and fairly, your claim included.

What-what does that mean, exactly?

It means that in the eyes of insurance,

your husband is still alive!

Hey, that's kind of exciting, right?

Sure,

except for the fact that he's not still alive.

Well, you can't prove that.

Prove it?

People try to cheat the system,

so it's our job to be vigilant

in this situation.

But if your husband is actually missing,

then we can only assume that's all there is to it.

And until he's proven dead, his breathing ceased,

his mind unable to ponder

the questions of the life he's no longer living,

then we can't pay out his life insurance policy.

See, had you elected the Platinum plan,

this wouldn't have even been an issue.

There's a silver lining, though.

Your husband might actually be dead,

and if his body is recovered,

then your claim will be rewarded.

So, I could still get that money?

So long as you continue to pay out the policy.

Hi, I'm Paula Caste,

and at Caste Insurance,

we understand the importance of family,

which is why we're here to provide peace of mind.

Peace of mind that it's not the end of the world

when your son wrecks the family van.

Peace of mind that mom is still mom,

even when she has her identity stolen.

Peace of mind that despite your dad's pre-existing condition,

we will still cover that open heart surgery.

Dad! What's wrong? Dad, are you okay?

Don't worry, they have Caste Insurance,

where your life is our life.

Dad, wake up!

Don't you dare leave me!

Dad, wake up!

Okay, one more expense that I have a question about,

and this is big,

a $100,000 deposit to Yacht Brokers.

Uh-huh.

So, you confirm that expense, then?

Yeah, it's a business expense.

Is it? Because I'm not so sure I can do much more

to cook these numbers, Paula.

It would be one thing if we were just

-dipping into reserves-- -Brent, I'm a CEO.

CEOs have boats, end of discussion.

-Please, don't-- -Oh, don't worry,

I'll make it work on my end just make it work on yours!

-Jesus Christ [bleep] Almighty! -Okay, okay, we just

talked about this.

Paula and I split commission my whole career.

I'm not settling!

Why do you say that?

That's not what I'm doing! I'm making something of myself.

-Sonny. -Paula!

-Noah. -Hey,

not sure if you saw my request for paternity leave--

I didn't realize you were the one giving birth.

Trust me, if I could, I would give birth.

It's been a true blessing.

Okay, so I guess I'll check back with you in a few weeks

'cause Carrie's really about to pop,

-and I'd like to know... -Yeah, okay, look, look,

-I gotta go, all right. -...before the baby gets here.

I'll do better and be better, okay, bye, Pop.

-Really crucial time-- -Some clients just

talk your ear off.

Meet me in my office now.

Yeah, okay.

Have you ever had a $200 cup of sake before?

You know, I can't say I have.

I'd like to propose a toast, Sonny,

a toast to my future

-VP of sales. -Paula, that's fantastic.

You're makin' a great decision.

-Cheers! -Eh, eh, eh, hey!

Don't drink it. Spit it back in the cup, all of it.

Wipe it off your fingers, put it in the cup.

I am simply saying

that you could be my future VP of sales, that's it.

Sure, sure, and "could be" means highly probable.

Perhaps, but you need to get your sales numbers up.

[computer chiming]

Let me be clear, Sonny.

I don't need you just to give me more,

I need you to give me everything you've got.

Your sales need to double this quarter.

Double? Paula, that's not possible.

Well, perhaps Noah would think it's possible.

For the first time, I have everything I could possibly need

with my family and friends like Sonny by my side.

Whoa, okay, hey, all I meant was

double's not possible with Noah weighing me down.

I look in the mirror and I still see that boy from Claremont...

-Sure. -...bouncin' around from

-foster home to foster home. -Yeah.

Of course.

And people like Noah,

they don't seem to have that gusto it takes

to really excel in the world.

I kept hope alive,

and I always kept

-love in my heart. -Right.

While people like us,

we're sharks,

and we will do whatever it takes to survive.

Absolutely, you know what, Paula,

I've always felt that we're on the same level.

[laughing]

My goodness.

And this is me laughing for genuine.

[laughing]

You think we're on the same level.

I'm your boss, and I'm also a great white.

I could chew you up and spit you out

as if it's nothing at all.

I could give you the world's rarest,

most exquisite cup of sake,

and then I could take it away from you.

[sake pouring]

So unless you get your sales numbers where I need them to be,

I may have to rethink your employment

here at Caste all together.

And don't think for a second that your tarnished reputation

won't follow you wherever you go.

Without me, you're just another nobody

with nothin' to show for it.

Understand?

Great, now get out there

and sell the people what they need.

Ah, Wendy, tell me,

have you ever had a $200 cup of sake before?

[doorbell dinging]

[dog barking distantly]

[cart rattling]

While the poll numbers are extremely close,

District Attorney, Glen Garrey remains confident

in his re-election.

His Sweep the Streets campaign,

calling for stricter sentencing

on drug-related, non-violent offences,

along with his well-known tragic family story

has emboldened his base to the point--

I already have life insurance.

I just don't see why I would need

accidental death insurance

on top of it?

As I mentioned earlier,

they're just not the same thing.

You know, why don't we just go ahead

and get you set up with the Basic package

just for starters.

You can always upgrade.

Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm just not interested.

It's not a problem because you can cancel

-at any time. -Oh,

I think I'll cancel now.

What Sonny means to say is

we can't help you if you don't let us.

Noah, let's walk away now, okay?

We don't have time for this.

I'm sorry if I offended you!

Not at all, Mrs. Kennedy.

You have a good rest of your day now.

Hey, is everything cool?

No, we needed that sale.

No stress, we'll get the next one.

Besides, our numbers are impeccable.

No, they're not!

And even if they were, that's still not good enough.

Hey, we're on the same team, bud.

I don't need you on my team, okay?

I just need you to step it up.

You're not the only one with family pressure.

[cars crashing]

[car trying to start]

Come on, man!

You gotta watch where you're going.

-You came outta nowhere! -Sorry.

-What? I can't hear you. -I'm sorry.

Yeah, well, sorry doesn't fix my bumper, does it?

Are you hurt, sir?

Try not to overexert your spine,

but if you could reach your insurance information,

we could work this out, no problem!

Hey, you awake in there?

I need your insurance info!

I don't have insurance.

-Really? No insurance. -If you don't have insurance,

we can help you with that.

[car turns over]

Hey! Hey! What they hell are you doing?

Sir! Come back here!

Sir, we sell insurance!

Hey!

Hey, you can't just hit and run like that!

-Sir! -We're just tryin' to help.

Hey, listen, I'm not mad,

and you're not in trouble.

I just need your insurance information.

-I told you, I don't-- -You don't have insurance,

which is why I'm willing to forget about the accident

if I can just have a minute of your time

to discuss your options.

You see, today's your lucky day because

we could set you up with a custom package

with rates as low as $10 a month.

In fact, if you're interested,

we don't just have auto plans, we can also set you up

with home, life, and health insurance.

Bottom line, we have your best interest in mind.

'Cause at Caste Insurance, your life is our life.

-You need to leave. -I promise,

this will be a lot quicker than calling the police.

Wow, thanks, that was fast.

Beautiful home you have here.

Yeah, but you know with an older home like this...

[stomping]

...really should consider homeowner's.

And, to be clear, flood isn't covered under homeowner's,

so with the climate changing at this rate,

you really can't be too safe.

You would be shocked at how little water it takes

to destroy a home's foundation.

Even a minor leak can do real damage.

Yeah, you know what, in fact, let's go take

-a look at that basement. -No.

You have a lot of older pets in here?

Pets are a part of the family, too,

and you wanna make sure you protect 'em.

Which is covered under our Paws and Claws package.

The basement's gotta be around here somewhere, right?

[jiggling door handle]

You really have this place on lockdown.

Privacy is important, which is why we offer

identify theft protection.

Yeah, you never can be too safe.

You need to leave now.

Ah-ha, here we go!

-Thank you. -That mildew smell, which--

Well, well, we have guests I see.

It was a mistake.

They're not like the others.

[laughing]

That's no matter, sweetie.

They're under our roof now.

We mustn't treat them any differently than the others.

After all, there is an order in this house,

and we must do all we can to maintain it.

'Bout a five-foot.

Okay.

Now you see, basement with exposed piping

is always a nightmare when it comes to flooding.

We're talking thousands of dollars of damage here.

You need to listen.

-Oh, no. -What?

Oh, my!

This is a huge problem, catastrophic even.

I mean, this bathroom may as well be a hydrogen bomb.

Bathrooms are the leading culprit

when it comes to water damage.

Hey, have you heard the one about the two hydrogens

who walked into a bar?

No, thank you.

Oh, no, you're gonna wanna hear this one.

They got so drunk

they needed some oxygen.

[laughing]

Get it? Two hydrogens, an oxygen?

It's a water joke.

But, water is no joke,

so let's get you set-- I'm sorry, I don't

-think we got your name. -Lucas.

Lucas, I'm Noah, nice to formally meet you.

This is Sonny, my best friend.

-Co-worker. -Co-worker turned best friend.

Not really relevant right now.

Just so he understands our dynamic, now you know.

Yeah, so how 'bout we take this conversation upstairs

-before Mt. Vesuvius blows? -That's not what Grandma wants.

You live with your grandma? Does she have life insurance?

Because I know it's a tough thing to think about,

but it's something we all need to plan for,

and I'm sure Grandma would understand.

We could explain everything to her in full.

She's in her room.

So go get her.

I'm not allowed in her room.

Okay, well then she's gonna have to come down here because

after all, life insurance is something for her

-to decide. -Enough!

I'm sorry,

but Grandma will not speak to you.

Not a problem. Just the auto and flood then.

I'm gonna go get that paperwork, and I'll be right back.

Must be nice to live with Grandma.

[door rattling]

What the--?

You need a key.

Hey, look, you need to unlock the door

so we can finalize your policy.

We can't help you if you don't let us.

No one can help you now.

Exactly.

-Wait, what? -Sir, we're trying to offer you

-a way out of this situation. -There is no way out,

and I'm not buying your insurance.

What is it with the people in this neighborhood, huh?

None of you can see value when it's

-right in front of you? -Sonny, cool it.

No, you know what, I'm not cooling it,

okay, because this guy hits my car,

tries to run off,

and then he doesn't have the decency

to buy insurance from me. [scoffs]

Well, then you will be hearing from my lawyers, okay?

Give me those keys! Argh!

Let go of him!

You know what, [bleep] you, let us the [bleep] out!

Hey, maybe there's a better way to handle this.

Yeah, there is.

[grunting]

Hey, you're gonna break his arm!

[groaning]

You're makin' a big mistake.

[groaning]

Ah, no, no, let go, let go!

Let go, no!

No, no!

Sir, please, we're on your side.

You don't have to buy the insurance, we will go.

You [bleep]!

I'm sorry.

We offer other plans!

You're messin' with the wrong guy!

We're sorry!

You are messing with the wrong guy!

Are they contained?

Well, do what you must to

get them fully settled in, hm?

-Yes, ma'am. -And, Lucas, please

fix your shirt.

We don't want someone thinking that

you're some kind of lowlife.

[keypad beeping]

[groaning]

You gonna just stand there? Come on!

I have weak bones, you know that!

[door opening]

[chains rattling]

Okay, hey, listen, you need to--

[electricity popping]

Empty your pockets.

[sighing]

That's what you want, cash, huh?

-Jackets. -Oh, [bleep] you.

[electricity popping]

Grandma has an order to maintain.

The sooner you accept that, the more comfortable you'll be.

It's nothing personal.

Yeah, well, it feels kinda personal, [bleep]!

[insects chirping]

[utensils clinking]

You're distant, Lucas.

You shouldn't be doing this to them.

They're not bad people.

Don't concern yourself with who they may or may not be.

All that matters is our survival.

But the code.

The code is what we make it, Lucas.

It's merely meant to ensure our prosperity

just as it did for my parents when they ran this house,

and their parents before them.

Doesn't feel right, Grandma.

A person guided by feelings

is a person too weak to survive.

Your mother was too weak to survive.

Come, my dear.

[plate sliding]

You need to eat.

[breathing heavily]

This is worse than the time I dropped

my phone in the toilet before a flight.

I was so nervous that I wouldn't be able to

keep in touch with Carrie that I left the airport

and rushed all the way home because I didn't want her

to think I was maybe raped or murdered.

I swear, if this lunatic gets me fired,

I will kill him.

Hey, I don't know if we should call him a lunatic.

Sure, psychopath is more fitting.

Yeah, well,

we're all a product of our environment.

We don't know what he's been through.

What he's been through?

We're locked in his [bleep] basement, Noah.

Point is...

no one's crazy for no reason.

Two local insurance salesmen

who were reported missing one week ago today

are tragically found dead

in what appears to be a grizzly double homicide,

sparking District Attorney Glen Garrey

to call for an emergency press conference

to address the recent string of criminal activity.

Crime is out of control in this city.

I'm gonna stop and frisk you.

Grow up! Anger is what runs the world.

I want you to go tell all those who have lost

family members to these animals

that increased policing is unnecessary.

-This and more tonight at 10:00. -Teeth were pulled,

limbs cut clean, and the rest was sent to the kiln.

Left with nothing to identify them

other than what was in their wallets.

My sources at PD

estimate the remains have been laying out there

for at least a week.

Tragic.

Well, we can't slow down just because those two

couldn't take care of themselves.

Let's have Wendy push forward on their leads.

We don't have a Wendy here.

Her, right there, Wendy.

That's Diane.

What difference does it make what her name is?

Let's just have her pick up the slack!

Wendy!

[hold music playing on phone]

Most parents would be proud.

[hold music continues]

Proud of what?

[hold music continues]

Thank you for calling Caste Insurance.

So I may better assist your call,

please tell me why you are calling today.

Open a claim.

Your wait time is 12 hours.

[hold music resumes]

Oh, good, my meat!

Thank you, Martin.

[lightly snoring]

Thank you.

Sleep well.

It's a little bright.

Sorry.

You ever make a blanket campfire?

I've only ever used lye and kerosene to burn things.

Ha, no.

Here, give me the flashlight.

It's okay.

[whispers] Sit down.

It's okay.

See, it's...

it's like a campfire, only

can't roast marshmallows.

Know any good ghost stories?

I only know one story.

Let's hear it!

Only if you want.

There was once a girl,

she could have been anything she wanted to be in this world,

but she chose to throw it all away.

She chose a life of sin and deceit,

spending her time on the streets with lowlifes and vagrants,

indulging the worst within herself because she was too weak

to live a life of honor and dignity.

Then one day, she got pregnant.

With no one to turn to,

and no certainty of who the father was,

she became frightened.

She moved back in with her mother

and tried to clean up her act,

but her cowardness and selfishness were too strong.

And one night,

she put her son in his crib

and kissed him goodnight.

She walked down to the basement

with a shotgun in hand,

and she put an end to her misery.

The end.

My grandma tells me that story all the time.

It's about my mom.

Wow.

For what it's worth,

I don't have any memory of my parents either.

How'd you lose them?

They were a couple of teenagers who

couldn't afford the extra mouth to feed,

so they dropped me on the doorstep of an orphanage

and never looked back.

Sorry.

Is that your mother?

No, it's, it's my fiancé,

Carrie.

She's pregnant.

I'm gonna be a father!

I'm gonna have the family that you and I never got to have!

You're lucky.

I know, and I'm so grateful every day.

I need to get back to my family.

It's not up to me.

Then who, Grandma?

-I should go. -Lucas, wait!

Lucas, please!

Lucas, what are you still doing here?

I thought you'd be gone by now.

I'm going now.

Oh, don't forget your gloves!

There's a little nip in the air tonight.

What do you need?

All right, dude, I don't have all day,

I have a family to feed.

Are you--are you all right in there?

[shrieking]

[inhales, pants]

I'm sorry.

[birdsong]

[sizzling]

What happened last night, Lucas?

No one was there.

There's always someone there.

That is how this works.

[toast scraping]

Look at me when I'm talking to you.

[toast scraping]

[plate clatters]

If you can't do the simplest task,

then maybe you don't deserve to live in my house

-and eat my food! -Maybe I don't!

[plate shatters]

You ruthless boy!

How dare you waste this?

Open your mouth, come on.

Open it or I will open it for you.

Chew.

Here at Caste Insurance,

we understand that life is priceless.

But life insurance,

well, that can be as low as $10 a month.

Because at Caste Insurance,

your life is our life.

[sighs]

I talked to him last night.

-You what? -Yeah, while you were asleep,

he came down here and gave us these pillows and blankets,

and he looked alone,

so, I showed him how to make a blanket campfire, you know,

like when you were kids, and he opened up to me.

You know, he told me this messed up story

about this lady drug addict who turned out to be his mom.

He doesn't even know who his dad is.

It's crazy, it's not as crazy as my story,

'cause he still has a grandma and lived in this nice house,

but it was messed up.

His face was so still.

But his eyes had all the emotion in it.

It was amazing, maybe he'll tell you the story tonight.

It's incredible. Then he told me

that his mom blew her brains out

in this basement with a shotgun.

And I knew there was something weird about this basement.

Then he showed me a picture of her,

and I showed him a picture of Carrie, and you know

how people react to Carrie.

He really connected with her.

And then I told him that she was pregnant,

and I don't think he's gonna hurt us.

He's a good guy, he just needs to know we're on his side.

I think he's gonna kill us both if we don't kill him first.

We can't abandon hope.

What hope, Noah?

If we want to survive,

then we have to earn it at any cost.

We have to be ruthless and unforgiving,

because nothing, and I mean nothing,

is accomplished through hope.

I just don't believe that was my Noah.

It couldn't have been.

And I refuse to give up hope.

Carrie, sweetie, I truly commend your strength

during this time. There we go.

-Thank you, Paula. -Of course.

And all of us are keeping hope alive here, too,

so you're not alone.

And just so we're on the same page,

keeping hope alive means we have to maintain Noah

as a missing person.

Oh, I totally understand.

I have no interest in his life insurance policy.

I just--I want him back.

Great, can we get that in writing?

-Oh, I-- -I'm just gonna send you

to Wendy in legal.

-Okay -Thank you.

Carrie, we'll be in touch while things develop.

Okay, bye, sweetie. That way.

Excuse me, sir, you can't come in here.

-Can I help you? -This is Caste Insurance,

is it not?

According to all the signs, yes.

Then, yes, you can help me, Ms. Caste.

And you can start by opening up a claim

for Sonny's life insurance.

Ah, you must be Mr. Reddy.

You know, you could have called to open a claim.

We have several representatives standing by.

Ah, if only you made it that easy.

Perhaps if your employees didn't go missing on the job,

I would have been able to get through.

What happened to Sonny was tragic,

and I can assure you we have tried--

No, let me assure you, Ms. Caste,

I will stop at nothing until you pay out

my son's life policy.

And if you don't,

you can expect to hear from my lawyers.

Well, may we all move on

as quickly as you have, Mr. Reddy.

You're messing with the wrong guy.

You're all messing with the wrong guy!

-Back to work. -I am the wrong guy!

Back to work!

What about your IRS insider? I thought the whole point

was so that we had protection in place.

It's not an audit I'm worried about.

Our claim reserves are almost completely dried up.

-Brent. -Paula, it's just a boat.

What did you just say to me?

That [bleep] thinks that he can come in here,

my place of business, and extort me?

[laughs wryly]

Who are we talking about exactly?

Sonny's dad.

He wants to collect on his life policy.

In full.

I don't think that qualifies as extortion.

We need to gain leverage,

otherwise we are completely [bleep].

I'm sorry, am I missing something here?

Okay, you two.

Listen to me, and listen very carefully.

We don't pay out on big claims

because we don't have policies to pay them through.

So... you're collecting premiums as pure profit?

Paula, that's...

You're committing fraud.

No, we are committing fraud.

You two have been enforcing company practices for years.

Therefore, we don't want to go to jail

so we have to continue to work together.

Does this make sense to you? Do you understand?

What do you need us to do?

Thank you, I need you to do some real detective work.

Get dirt on Mr. Reddy. See what he's been up to.

See if you can find anything that he's hiding.

We'll get right on it.

Good. Oh, and one more thing.

Nobody will believe you over me.

Just something to think about.

[items clattering]

[keys jangle]

Lucas.

Come.

Come sit next to Grandma.

I have something that I think you've been looking for.

Bet you thought you lost it.

I gave you this photograph because I wanted you to know

that your mother,

that she...

...she abandoned us.

[sighs]

She didn't want you.

I am the only person who has ever taken care of you.

I'm the only person who has ever accepted you.

I think you're old enough now to accept that and move on.

Oh, how about a piece of pie, hm?

Oh, I know.

Never dessert before dinner.

But I think we can bend the rules just this once.

[smooches]

[whimpering]

You don't need to be afraid of her, Lucas.

You're not alone.

Sonny and I are on your side.

We can work together.

And the most important thing is,

we can't abandon hope.

Hope.

Okay.

Okay, you're gonna let us out?

It won't be easy.

There are cameras everywhere.

So we'll need a distraction.

You have to put in a code to unlock the door.

And then you only have a few moments to escape

before she makes it downstairs.

We'll move quickly, but what about you?

I'll be fine.

[sighs]

What's the code?

The code is two...

Three...

-Seven-- -I just have to say

how incredibly brave this is of you.

I can't imagine what it's like to stand up to your grandma.

I never had a grandma.

I never had a dad or a mom or a brother or sister.

I didn't even have a friend until I met Sonny.

And now you.

Things are gonna be okay.

[thud]

What the [bleep], Sonny?

You might have just killed him.

So what? I'm not trying to play sleepover the rest of my life.

[keys jangling]

Lucas. Lucas? Are you okay, Lucas?

Lucas? He was gonna let us out of here peacefully.

Yeah? Well, now I'm getting us out of here.

[keys jangling]

I'll be right back, Lucas.

[door opens]

-[whispering] Sonny. Sonny! -[whispering] Shut up.

-Sonny! -Shut up!

You're not gonna be able to open it. You need a code.

He was giving me the code right before you knocked him out.

What the [bleep]?

We can still fix this.

He's trapped too.

[grunting]

[panting]

We can't get out of here without him, Sonny.

We can't get out of here if you just stand there doing nothing.

Doing nothing? Are you even listening to me?

I've been listening to you for the past ten years, Noah.

All you do is talk, on and on, about absolutely nothing.

So, for once in your life, just make yourself useful.

Make myself useful?

We're--we're partners, Sonny.

Best friends.

We are not best friends.

We're just co-workers, you weirdo, okay?

And not for long either, because once we get out of here,

I'm gonna be your [bleep] boss.

What are you talking about?

I'm done splitting my commission with you.

Your commission?

-We both earned that. -Did we?

Are you sure about that?

Huh, then why am I the one getting promoted?

I really wonder. [bleep] baffled.

Oh my God, I know why.

Because you're a worker bee and I'm a leader.

I'm a shark.

Where is this coming from?

We've always been in this together.

Been in what together, Noah?

This is life, survival of the fittest.

Just ask your [bleep] parents.

[thud]

[muttering]

[grunting]

[clattering]

I loved you like a brother!

I had your back since day one!

I asked you to be my kid's godfather!

And this is how you repay me?

[panting]

This is your fault, you're making me do this.

[gagging]

[knife pierces]

[panting]

Sonny, help me.

Please.

[panting]

[footsteps creaking]

Grandma?

You up?

Grandma?

You need to unlock...

[static]

Who are all these people?

That's the food supply.

[footsteps]

The food?

Oh my God.

[gun cocks]

Drop it.

[knife clatters]

[chuckles]

We can work this out, okay?

There's a plan for everything.

No one is allowed in Grandma's room.

Listen, I'm not gonna tell anybody about this.

[sputtering, grunting]

I told you, Lucas.

It'll always be us against the world.

[panting]

Well, don't just stand there, Lucas.

Get that filthy pig out of my room.

[thudding]

[static]

[record whirring]

[bright music plays]

Oh, I love this piece.

Oh!

Mm!

[sighs]

What a shame.

A little more time to grow and he could've been a cash cow.

[inhales]

Do not look away.

He was not your friend.

He was just useless swine.

But you don't care about that, huh?

You don't mind being associated with filthy lowlife.

You're just like your mother.

You would rather be left with nothing,

nobody by your side.

[intense breathing]

[slicing sound]

[freezer humming]

Good, my meat.

Beautiful meat.

You save me so much money, yes, you do.

[exhales]

It's all just been so much at once.

With my dear Sonny being murdered.

These bills piling up.

And nobody by my side to even confide in.

And I know, my personal life is just that.

Personal.

But I hope you can understand,

not, not as a person who's a banker,

but simply as a person...

...how difficult this time is for me.

I am the right guy for this business loan.

No, too much.

I am the right guy for this business loan, sir.

No, no, sir.

Don't be ingratiating, you [bleep] idiot.

I am the right guy for this business loan.

You are the right guy.

I am the right guy.

I'm the right guy.

I am the right guy.

I am the right guy!

[struggling grunts]

[panting]

[grunting]

So where'd they pick you up at?

[bleep], they got me over on 65th.

It wasn't even like I was pushing weight.

I swore I was done with that [bleep].

I was just doing what I had to do to survive, you know?

You don't have to explain to me, man.

Fools like us never stood a chance.

Speak for yourself.

I'm getting out of here on my own.

[bleep], that's what I said the first few months.

Oh my God, oh my God.

Oh my God, get me the [bleep] outta here.

[camera shutter clicking]

Quiet neighborhood, nice house.

Sweet car.

I really don't think we're gonna find anything on this guy.

You'd be amazed the kind of [bleep] up [bleep]

that goes on in the suburbs.

Yeah, I grew up in the suburbs. I'm well aware.

He's probably got people locked up in there.

Tied up, greased up.

Yes, look it, he's just a normal guy going to work.

Come on, let's go. Let's go.

[engine starting]

What are you doing?

My job.

I suggest you do the same.

[sighs] [bleep].

[panting]

[door creaks open]

[footsteps approaching]

Grandma says it's your time.

[panting]

Hey, you know, uh, just thinking about this.

I am up for a promotion at work,

which I am pretty proud of.

If you let me out now,

I could consider you as a new hire.

I mean, we'd have to start you off with a base salary,

but the benefits make up for that.

Quiet.

[panting]

I'm sure you want a change from all of this, Lucas.

That's why you were gonna let us out, right?

Enough.

Grandma doesn't care about you.

Stop it.

[panting]

My dad's the same way, you know.

I mean, I have spent my whole life

trying to prove my worth to him,

and yet somehow he always finds a reason

for why I'm not good enough.

[panting]

Because at the end of the day,

all he cares about is his money and status.

You need to take her out.

I said stop it.

[panting]

[door unlocking]

[door creaking]

This is not part of our job!

Shh!

[muttering]

Look.

It's time to focus up, Frank.

And remember,

something big enough to destroy him.

Oh my God, oh my God.

Oh my God!

[papers rustling]

[engine starting]

Okay, all I got are a bunch of overdue bills

and this invoice from...

Straight Off the Block Meat Company.

Holy crap, this guy was selling cheap meat.

Declined loan application for a hundred grand.

That's why he's been so adamant

about getting Sonny's life insurance payout.

Okay, let's go!

Paula's gonna gut him.

[door creaking]

[thud]

Election Day has arrived,

and hours before the polls closed,

we sat down with District Attorney Glenn Garrey

-for an in-depth... -Grandma.

...one-on-one interview where, for the first time...

-He's ready. -...he spoke openly

about the loss of his daughter.

You can't abandon hope.

We can't abandon hope.

Hope.

That's why we've never given up

when seeking justice for our daughter.

She was a good person, you know.

She wasn't perfect...

[phone vibrating]

You've reached agent Danika Palmer,

Caste Insurance, make it quick.

[slamming phone]

She had her struggles, but she wasn't... some criminal.

[sighs]

The only reason drugs became a problem for her

is because of how readily

available they were and still are.

I mean, all you have to do, all anyone has to do

is walk south of 65th Street a couple of blocks,

and you enter into an entirely different world

filled, filled with people

who choose to live in sin and squalor.

Those people destroyed my daughter.

They're the ones

who took her away from my family.

My wife and I will never forgive them,

and that is why, if I am re-elected...

What are you doing in my room?

You--you're--you're not--

That is exactly why you're not allowed to watch television.

Rots your brain.

She's not your daughter.

You're not my grandma.

I didn't know that she was pregnant when I picked her up.

-Why would you lie? -I did not lie to you, Lucas!

I gave you a chance at life.

She was still shooting up when she was pregnant with you.

I did you and the rest of the world a favor.

She could've been helped.

They all could be helped!

There's no need in helping the helpless.

They will only waste away what they are given

because they don't have what it takes to survive.

The only useful and productive thing

for them to do is to give their selves to us.

You must either eat or else be eaten.

That's the way it's always been,

that's the way it always will be.

You stay right there!

[smacks]

People tend to think that the bigger the cut of meat,

the better, but what they fail to understand

is all that simply matters is how the meat is cared for.

You've heard, perhaps, of Kobe beef. Hm?

Well, Kobe beef sets itself apart for a number of reasons,

the most important being

that it's treated with tenderness

to create, well, a more tender piece of meat.

You have to relax the muscle,

which marbles the area with a beautiful layer of fat.

And then we have the low-grade meat.

[grunting]

Meat which never really stood a chance.

[panting]

Nor deserved one.

[grunting]

[deep inhale]

[deep exhale]

[groaning]

[groaning]

[breathing heavily]

[groaning]

[panting]

[breathing heavily]

[muffled screaming]

[sobbing]

You know, I might not even eat you.

I'm just gonna enjoy cutting you up into little pieces.

[panting]

Let's get to it then, shall we?

[panting, groaning]

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Catch a piggy by its toe.

If it squeals, kill it slow.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

[panting]

[screaming, grunting]

[slicing]

[gagging, screaming]

Lucas, damn it!

[groaning]

[mumbling]

Lucas, stop it!

Stop it!

[panting]

[gasping for breath]

[seething exhales]

[groaning]

[coughing]

I trusted you.

[screaming, slicing]

[freezer humming]

[blood dripping]

[door opening]

[freezer humming]

[sighs]

[panting]

You need to let me out, now.

Okay.

[footsteps scrape and thud]

[groaning]

[breathing heavily]

[keypad beeping]

You were right about her.

Just unlock the door.

I have felt trapped my entire life.

A prisoner like all the others.

But now I see

that I only have myself to blame.

Move one more [bleep] inch and I will blow your head off.

[breathing heavily]

It's no different out there than it is in here.

[cork pops, cheering]

That is live coverage

from Glenn Garrey's campaign headquarters

as Garrey is predicted to win re-election by a landslide.

His "Sweep the Streets" campaign ignited a firestorm...

How about your Porsche?

[sighs]

Which one?

The 2012, or any of them, really.

What about the Jag--

No.

The Hummer.

Which color?

The cream...

and the white.

Great, we'll get a lot back for those.

[door slams]

[gasping, muttering]

-Oh, my God. -Holy [bleep].

[groaning]

[groaning]

[groaning]

[panting]

[deep exhale]

[bottle opens]

[exhaling, cork bouncing]

I want...

that [bleep] promotion.

You're a shark.

I'm a great white.

Back to work!

[telephone ringing]

Paula, Pau--

What the [bleep]?

[phone ringing]

[clearing throat] Yes?

-Hey, it's Danika. -This isn't part of the job!

Oh, I-I meant to call you.

We're all clear here.

-Yeah... -Oh my God.

We're not all clear over here.

This isn't part of the job! This isn't part of the job!

I do files!

I'm just a regular guy who loves insurance!

That's all! That's all I am!

I love insurance!

Is that so wrong?

Oh, my God.

I'm not a murderer!

I'm just a regular guy who loves insurance.

I love insurance!

So what?

I'm not a killer!

I'm not a murderer!

You've reached Ram Reddy.

Leave a message at the tone.

[beeps]

Dad, it's Sonny. Call me.

I got some great news at work today.

I think you're gonna be proud.

[panting]

[sighs]

Just clean it up.

Paula, Paula!

Is everything okay?

Everything's as it should be.

[singing in Portuguese]
