[phone call ringing]

[Darren] Hey, Lucky.

[Lucky] How's it going?

[Darren] Uh, just at work.

What's going on with you?

[Lucky] Well, I'm literally
parked on an overpass

with a fucked alternator.

[Darren] 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.

[small sigh over phone]

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

I don't want
to bug Noël 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.

[♪]

[laughing in triumph]

You are good.

Man...

More days like this.

More days like this...

[chuckling]

[exhaling]

Now, cool down, buddy.

[♪]

[door closing]

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?

[whispering] 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.
[clearing throat]

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.

[Grace] Hey, Mom,
can I get a ride?

[Noël] 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.

[Grace] We'll see.

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

[Grace] What would that be?

[Noël] 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.

[Grace] Do you not need
any money this month?

[Noël] We would manage fine

if it meant more time
for you to study.

[Grace] Okay, who's
being realistic now?

[Jenny] I can get a job.

[Noël] Jenny!

I said no food
before the dentist.

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

[Jenny] Sorry.

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

So help me God
if you mess them up.

[shop door opening]

I've got a surprise for you.

["Phantom"
by Jae Sterling playing]

[chuckling]
No way. You fixed it.

How'd you do that?

I'm the best.

[chuckles in disbelief]

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?

["Well-Tempered Clavier"
by JS Bach playing]

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.

[♪]

[dance instructor]
Let's go, let's go!

[Darren] So, this is
your gross income

for the past three years,

your capital loss,
your deductible.

[Lucky] 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.

["Joy to the World" playing]

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?

[phone vibrating]

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.

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.

It's 4:30.

Yeah.

Thank you. Good night.

Now I really gotta go.

Bro, please, you gotta stay.

- No, no, no.

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.

Jenny, let's go!

How much longer
are you going to be?

Soon. Bye.

We're going to be
the last ones there.

[Lucky] Told you
today would be rushed.

[Noël]
So we shouldn't celebrate?

- [phone vibrating]
- 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! [door slams]

[car starts outside]

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.

[phone beeps]

[Noël] 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--

[dialing number, call ringing]

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.

[sighing]
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.

[Leah]
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.

[speaking in Cantonese]

Mom.

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

[family conversing
in Cantonese]

[Jenny] Hi, Dad.

Hi, hi.

[Noël]
Everything okay at the shop?

Nothing to worry about.

How did the exam go?

Well, I'm glad it's over.

[Lucky] Which means?

It went well.

[Noël] Hey, you don't
have to finish,

but have a little.

[Jenny] I'm full, to be honest.

Just a spoonful.

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

[Lucky] 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.

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

Which one's got
the steamed chicken?

[Noël] You can heat
it up at home. We gotta go.

[Lucky] 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.

[Grace] Oh. Well,
can I get a ride downtown?

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

[Lucky] No problem.

A big party?

Maybe.

[speaking in Cantonese]

[Jenny] Can we go soon?

[Noël] As soon as you finish
the red bean soup.

[Grace] Here, have mine.

- [Jenny] I'm okay.
- [Grace] Num, num, num.

Hi! Lucky.

[speaking in Cantonese]

[groaning] Ah...
She ordered lobster and crab.

[she laughs]

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.

[♪]

[Colt] So what about Thursday?

[Grace] I'm working.

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

[Grace]
What about after Christmas?

[Colt] Well, the whole point
of "The Nutcracker"

is to go before Christmas.

[engine turns off]

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

I had fun last night.

So did I. [chuckling]

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.

[Colt chuckling]

You taste good.

[Grace laughing]

Oh, my god, you're so weird.

[Colt laughing]

Okay, thank you for the ride.

- Okay.
- Bye.

Bye.

Come to South America.

Come to Bolivia.

Bye.

[Colt] Text me.

[starting engine]

This is in great shape.

[Noël] 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.

[exhaling]
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.

[chuckling]

Happy to take it on

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

Okay, have a good one.

[call ringing]

[automated voice] You have
one unheard message.

[line beeps]

[man] 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.

[call ringing]

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!

she is just up there.

Thanks.

Hey...

What are--
What are you doing here?

[whispering] We need to talk.

Is everything okay?

[whispering] I need some cash.

[Grace scoffing]

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.

[Lucky] Sorry.

- [sighing] Fine.
- Thank you, Gigi. I love you.

Thank you.

I'll pay you back
tomorrow, okay?

[muttering] 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.

Are you asking if I leaked

you can just ask.

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

You maxed out
the credit card again?

[exhaling] 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.

Yes.

I buy product off him

if I completely lost it.

It was still
a fucking long 20-hour drive.

My back was wrecked!

What are you talking about?

Noël drove
most of the way home.

So, what should I say

the next time I see
your lovely wife?

Noël? You see her?

[Toon] She said you quit cards.

Took a break.

So, what should I say?

[Lucky laughs] 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.

[door opening]

Yeah.

[door closing]

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

Sounds good.

Hey, leave the door open.

'Kay.

[car engine running]

[shuts off engine]

[door opening]

Dad?

[Lucky] Go back inside.

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

[Lucky] I know, hold on.

Give me a hug.

[Jenny] Why?

Okay, go.

It's cold, it's cold.

Remember
our first trip to Vegas,

when we drove down with Toon?

[Noël] What about it?

I was just thinking about
driving down there

for that tournament
and everything.

We were so fucking young.

[chuckling softly]
I was Grace's age.

The same age I got pregnant.

You got pregnant on that trip?

In Vegas?

[laughing]

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.

[laughing] Right...

[sighing]

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.

[Noël] I trust
you'll take care of it.

[dismissively] 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.

[Lucky] 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.

[Noël] 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?

[Lucky sighs] 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.

[Grace] 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!

[Lucky] Okay, thank you.

[whispering]
What's the matter with Dad?

Nothing. Everything's fine.

Really?

Did you hear them
fighting this morning?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

[Jenny] What can I do to help?

[Grace]
You could help me pick out

what I'm going to wear to work?

- [Jenny] Okay.
- [Grace] Okay.

[Lucky turning on water]

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.

[Lucky] 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.

[Lucky] All good with me.

Cool. I'll see what I can do.

Later, Lucky.

Thanks, man.

[knocking]

Oh!

Hey, Dave.

Sorry,
I didn't hear you come in.

[Dave] 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...

[chuckles awkwardly]

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...

[snapping fingers]
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, Noël.

I'm happy to help out if I can.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

I'll tell her.

[Dave] 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, Noël.

Sounds good.

And give my best to Grace again.

Thank you.

[muttering] Fuck me...

[sighing]

[elder man] 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.

[speaking in Cantonese]

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.

[Grace] 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?

[sighing]

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?

[truck engine rumbling]

Whoa! Whoa! Stop!

[shouting] Whoa!

Stop, hey!

Come on,
are you fucking kidding me?

[impound lot attendant]
Another 2,057.

[Lucky] Excuse me?

[attendant] You've gotta pay for

all the outstanding tickets
attached to the license

to get your car back.

- [sighing]
- 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.

[engine turns off]

[phone call ringing]

[Darren] Hey, what's up?

I'm going to cut
straight to the chase

and say the bad news.

I'm down at the impound.

[tightly] Bummer.

Yeah, and I need $2,600 cash.

[wearily] 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.

[Darren, angrily]
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.

[sighing]

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?

[Lucky] 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.

[car door slamming nearby]

[car engine starting]

Pay your tickets.

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

Okay.

[quietly] 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!

[Darren] Come on!

[Lucky] I'm sorry!

[Darren] You're gambling again!

[Lucky] No!

Lucky, give me my money back!

[Lucky] I'm sorry!

[♪]

[starting engine]

[Darren] I can help you!

[tires screeching]

[♪]

[Grace] It's not that bad.

It's more just embarrassing.

[Calista] You make it sound
like this happens a lot.

[Grace] Well, not as public
as yesterday.

[Calista] 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.

[Toon] It's Harold, right?

Unfortunately.

Harold's my dad's name.

You like him?

I hate him.

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

Grandma says
there's no good gamblers,

just bad losers and luck.

[Colin] 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.

[Calista] We're back.

[Toon] All right,
what are we celebrating?

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

You know Grace's dad?

Hi, Dad.

[Colin] 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?

[Colin]
So we'll see you tomorrow?

Yeah, probably.

[clearing throat]

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.

[Grace] Dad, drink.

And cheers!

Cheers.

[Lucky] 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.

[Calista] Bye...

Bye, babe.

[Grace] Really?
You can tell?

[Lucky]
Your pupils are massive.

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

Oh.

[laughing]

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.

[chuckling] 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.

[exhaling]

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.

[sighing]

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

but promise me

you're not going to gamble
anymore.

Promise me.

For my family.

And I promise no more...

no more fucking around,

no more... lying.

I'll be good.

I'll...

Please.

[crying]

Please...

[exhales]

Fuck.

[car lock chirping]

- Hey.
- Hey, good to see you.

Thanks.

[Colin exhaling]

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.

[Colin] Good luck.

Hey, man.

How'd you do?

Feeling good.
Ready to head home.

Sure thing.

Let's see what you got.

- Yeah.

[sighing wearily]

[sewing machine whirring]

[sewing machine whirring]

Where were you?

At work.

Please be honest with me.

[Lucky] 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?

[chuckles shortly]

Yeah.

You are.

Get the fuck out of here.

[panting]

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

[front door slamming]

[doors open and close]

- Lucky?

[Grace] 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.

[Noël] Oh, I wanted

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.

[Colt] Like-- like there?

- Yup.
- Mm-hmm?

Sure, and then
you put this one there.

[Colt] Okay.

Okay, yeah.

Now just give it a go.

[Colt] All right.

- Hey!
- Right?

[Colt] She's not even watching.

What do you think?

- [Colt laughing]
- Oh, Jenny.

He learned that for you.

[Colt] 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.
- [laughing]

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

Wow.

Are we doing
a staring contest?

A staring contest? Yeah?

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

All right.

[Colt] I'm just going
to excuse myself.

[quietly] 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.

[Colt laughing]

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.

[Colt] Yeah, I want to.

[Grace] Just going to throw him
under the bus?

[Jenny laughing] 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.

- [Colt] So, sour candy?
- [Jenny] Yeah.

What do you think of him?

Hmm, hoping he'll grow on me.

[Lucky laughs]

How's everything going?

You okay for money?

[Noël] 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.
