So gentle.

Whatever works.

Jesus.

No. No!

Leave him alone!

Get up!

You're just screwing
everybody, aren't you, you son of a...

- No!
- ...bitch!

That should do it.

Oh, my God.

It's all right. It's all right.

The worst part's over now.

Yeah.

We'll go away.

Visit my family.

You'd like my family.

I just love this house.

It's such a classic Victorian.

It was built around 1886.

Probably remodeled slightly in the 40s.

I know what you're thinking.

It needs a lot of TLC

and is a little pricier than
what we were talking about originally,

but remember you've got
two rental units downstairs

to help you cover the mortgage.

And I really think, relatively speaking

we can get this place
for a song. Up here...

What do you think?

Seven hundred and fifty grand, huh?

It's not a song, it's an opera.

Between my savings and Drake's,
we can cover the down payment.

And the realtor said
we can get one of those

home equity loans for improvements.

You'd be totally tapped out.

But we'll have rental units.

Well, what if you can't rent them?

Oh, come on. The vacancy rate
in this area is less than 2%.

Look, do you want my advice
or my approval?

- Your advice.
- Your approval.

Pass.

It's too risky a call.

I mean, if someone misses
one month's rent

you're gonna go down like the Titanic.

I don't even... I don't even think
you can get approved for the loan

at your income level.

We'll fudge the numbers a little.

Yeah. Everybody does it.

It's expected.

"Legal description of building."

It's a building.

Uh, I don't think that's what they mean.

- It's... It's like a...
- It's a... It's a wooden building

with windows.

All right. We'll come back to that one.

Um, my previous employment.

Equestrian.

It's too pompous.

- Self-employed.
- Okay.

"Manner in which title will be held."

Like this.

Please, please.

"Held with both hands
with a pity expression."

I can't believe
we're actually gonna do this.

Marital status.

Single.

Come on!

Come on! Get it down, buddy! Come on!

Come on! Knock it down!

Mine! Now it's all mine!

We rent the studio for a thousand

and the one-bedroom for $1,200.

$1,300.
You should go up and down.

All right. $1,300.

- That leaves us, uh...
- $1,400.

...$1,400 to cover
the mortgage which is

$300 a month less
than we used to be paying

for our two old apartments.

- So we're actually saving money.
- Yeah.

Assuming that we don't go broke
before we rent them.

Then you've got to replace
the plumbing and rewire the electric.

We have to remember this
is an investment, Patty.

We can't afford to do
everything at once.

It's not just
an investment, it's our home.

Well. You want something to drink?

Sure.

Hey, there's a cat outside.

Hey, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Could be good luck.

- Aw, could be hungry.
- Yeah.

Thanks.

Mmm.

I'm pooped.

Is that your manly walk?

It's the only walk I've got.

You feel comfortable.

- Yeah?
- Mmm-hmm.

- Like your old saddle?
- Better.

I just wish I had some spurs.

You taste like turpentine.

That's better.

- Hi, there.
- Good afternoon.

Welcome to the neighborhood, huh?

- Well, thank you.
- I like your place.

Hi.

Hi. How're you doing today?

Fine, thank you.

- How do you like the color?
- Pretty good.

Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Thayer.

Drake Goodman. I'm sorry I'm late.

Ran into double overtime
and I forgot about our appointment.

This is the apartment.

We're asking $1,300 a month

plus the $2,000 security deposit.

You pay the gas and electric

and we pay the... The water and garbage.

Here. Take this.

- In the back here we have the kitchen.
- Oh, it's great.

Brand new gas stove,
disposal, microwave...

Stop that!

There's a full bath.

All the original tiles' been redone.

It's the original bathtub.

We'd want to repaint.

Yeah, we'd, uh, pay
for all the materials...

It's so chalky now.

What color did you have in mind?

Black.

Here's the gas stove

and dishwasher,
the microwave, the disposal.

I'm sure Drake showed you all this.

And you credit
and references all checked out...

- Oh, we'll paint over that.
- Huh?

We'll paint over it.

- You don't have children, do you?
- No.

This is a very nice place.

We just wanted to look at it again

- to be sure.
- Thank you. Yes.

Just got separated from my wife.

I'm hell in the kitchen.

I've been thinking about
taking a cooking class or something.

Excuse me.

- We will take the apartment.
- Oh, great. Okay.

We would like to start
moving in by tomorrow.

Pardon me. A thousand a month?

Yeah. Oh, and a $1,500 security deposit.

I can handle that.

I'll have the key
for you in the morning then.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, Mr. Watanabe.

So long, Mrs. Watanabe.

- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.

Uh, any chance I can pay you half now
half at the end of the month?

I'm in this 90-day CD.

We'll have to check your credit.

No sweat. My credit's solid.

Actually, I've been looking
to buy a place

but I haven't found anything I like
for the price, you know.

Mmm-hmm. Here you go.

I said my credit's solid.

Well, you still have
to fill out an application

and Drake'll wanna check it out.

Understand something.

I want this apartment. My credit
is good. I don't want to lose...

Obviously, you're
at the top of the list, Mr. Baker.

You're the first person
who's seen the place.

Yeah.

Okay.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- Uh, Ms. Palmer?
- Yeah?

I'm sorry.

I just get the runaround
so much, you know.

That's okay. No sweat.

I'll get this back to you
as soon as I can.

Okay.

Patty?

In here. I'm sick.

What's the matter?

I'll be all right. Answer the door.

It might be Mr. What's-his-name

for the key to downstairs.

- Morning.
- Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Mrs. Watanabe, these are the keys
to the back apartment.

- I'm so sorry so early.
- It's okay.

I'll just, uh, I'll just go get dressed.

All these people aren't
moving in with you, are they?

Mr. Palmer, right?

Goodman. Drake Goodman.

Sorry.

Very good.

- Hi.
- Hi, I'm Carter Hayes.

I stopped by a couple weeks ago

and spoke with, uh, your wife

about renting the studio apartment.

- My... My girlfriend.
- Oh, your girlfriend?

Oh, sorry. We don't wanna
rush anything, do we?

- I assume it's still available?
- Yes, it is.

- Um...
- Is Patty here?

I don't wanna
keep you here if you've got...

No, it's no problem. You know,
I'm... I'm taking care of the rentals.

Did she show you the apartment?

No. No, I'd like to take
a look at it if you don't mind.

Oh, good. Yeah, we can go this way.

Listen, is it all right
if I leave my car here?

- Yeah.
- Thanks.

Boy, you've done
a beautiful job here.

Thank you.

It's, uh, it's taken about
every cent we've got.

Yeah. I'll bet.

I love these old Victorians.

My grandmother, uh,
my father's mother, I guess it was,

grew up in a mansion in Pacific Heights.

Oh, yeah? Whereabouts?

Uh, Broadway and, uh... I don't know.

I don't know. They tore it down.

I'd never actually been there
but I've seen the photographs,

you know, I heard all the stories.

Boy, can you imagine what that piece
of real estate be worth today, huh?

Well, you know,
we all gotta start somewhere.

Yeah.

- Is this your first place?
- Yes, it is.

You and you're, uh,
girlfriend went in on it together?

Yeah. You know, partners.

Yeah. It's hard, isn't it?

Well, it's the first time
we've lived together.

It's working though.

Not to mention the rent we're saving.

When can I move in, Drake?

Oh, well, you know, I just
have to fill out an application...

You know, I'd like to...
If you don't mind,

pay you the first six months in advance.

Right. I still need you to get this...

I may even have it all on me.

Uh, the reason for the six months is

I travel a lot in my business

and I'm in and out of the country.

So I can't always guarantee
that I'll be here first of the month.

Damn. I've only got about $2,900 on me.

How about if I pay you $2,000 now

and then of course,
I could pay you the rest next week.

Or I could wire you
the entire amount, which would be

- 70...
- $7,500.

$7,500
from my bank at San Antonio.

Um, you know, I'm sorry.

But I still have
to get this application filled out.

It's just a formality.

Yeah. It's a credit history,
that sort of thing.

Yeah. Um, is... Is there a problem?

Well, no. It's just that
I work for a private trust

and the trust pays me
my expenses and my salary.

They pay me bank cards,
my room and board, etc.

So I don't really have that
traditional kind of credit.

- You understand?
- Um, could I verify the trust?

Well, see, I'm bound
by client confidentiality.

I mean, they're a prominent family,
and they've got interests worldwide.

Boy, believe me,
I would if I could. Let me think.

I'm always running
into this problem, you know?

- Do you have a phone?
- Yeah, upstairs.

You know, better yet,
I'll tell you what.

Why don't I give you
some local personal references?

Or you can all the trust
private attorney, uh, Bennett Fidlow.

Yeah, okay.
Uh, previous landlord.

I got it.

Yeah. I hope you don't mind
calling out of town.

I don't think you'll have a problem.

No, no. Mr. Hayes
listed Mr. Fidlow

as a personal reference
on a rental application.

I'm sorry. What was that name again?

- Carter Hayes.
- Hayes.

Mr. Fidlow only handles...

Ma'am, ma'am. Yes, Mr. Hayes told me
that it was a private family trust.

This is just a personal reference.

Yes. Well, he'll have to give you
that information himself.

I see. Well, when
Mr. Fidlow gets the time

could you please have him call me?

I will. Goodbye.

No, no.
He... He was a model tenant.

Always paid his rent on time,

left the unit spotlessly clean.

In fact, I... I think I gave him
his whole security deposit back.

That was the first time
I've ever done that.

So you can definitely
recommend Mr. Hayes?

I can recommend him to you
with no hesitation at all.

Thank you. I'd like to
thank you for your time.

Listen, uh,

just out of curiosity, uh,

where has Carter moved to,
Mr., uh, Mr...

- Goodman.
- Mr. Goodman.

Just... Just out of curiosity.

Uh, do... Do you have that address?

- What about Mr. Baker?
- What about him?

He was here first.

Well, where's his application?

Maybe he's one
of those minority scam artists.

What are you talking about?

You know, they... They try to get you
worried about discrimination

so you don't check their credit.

That's not what happened.

Some of these people
can be pretty shrewd, Patty.

How would you know?

It's not a racial thing.
It's just common sense.

Look, I spoke to the woman at the bank

and she told me that Carter Hayes'
income is over $200,000 a year.

I've checked him out.

Okay, fine. Then let's
rent to him if you say he's okay.

He's a nice guy. You met him.

When?

Couple of weeks ago.
He said he came by and talked to you.

I don't think so.

He knew your name. Why would he say
he talked to you if he hadn't?

I don't know.

Look, Patty, I'm just
taking up the slack here.

I mean, you're worried
about the paint and the wallpaper.

Somebody's gotta rent
these two apartments

so we can make next month's mortgage.

You're losing your sense of humor.

- No, I'm not.
- Yes, you are.

You're becoming
a crotchety old man with his building.

Next thing I know, you're gonna have
hair growing out of weird parts

of your face and you'll be
wandering around with a toilet plunger

and griping about property
taxes and people who take long showers.

- No, I won't.
- Yes, you will.

No, I won't.

You don't think I can handle this?

Yes, I do.

Somebody in here?

Oh, hi.

I thought you were
from the, uh, phone company.

Who are you?

I'm, uh... I'm your new tenant.

I'm Carter Hayes.
You must be Patty, right?

Yeah.

I think I spoke
with you a couple of weeks ago...

No. You didn't.

How did you get in here?

Well, the door was open a little,
and I, uh,

I just opened it and came on in.

I didn't wanna ring the buzzer
and bother you so early.

So I just let myself in.

Hope that's okay.

Drake said it would be all right
if I came by for the phone installation.

Oh.

Was that you hammering?

No.

You did a great job
restoring this place.

Thanks.

Did you those pick those,
uh, light fixtures out?

Yeah.

You have nice taste.

Thanks.

Nice meeting you.

I found a roofer.

It's gonna cost us
75 bucks for an estimate.

It's a good thing
I rented that other apartment.

Mr. Hayes is downstairs.

What do you mean he's downstairs?

In the apartment.

Did you let him in?

He was already in.

Well, I told him he can't move in
till we get his money.

Well, I heard hammering
and there he was.

What was he hammering?

He said he wasn't.

Mr. Hayes?

It's Drake Goodman.

Carter?

Is anybody in there?

I'm sorry. But we have
no record of a wire transfer

to your account, Mr. Goodman.

My tenant assured me
the money would be wired today.

Bank Of Texas.
$7,500.

You know, maybe the bank lost the money

or got credited to the wrong account?

It's doubtful.

But I need the transaction numbers
to tell you anything more.

It is possible
he never wired the money, Mr. Goodman.

For his own reasons.

Look, please,
just check the account one more time.

Who... Who are you?

Who are you?

- I'm the landlord.
- Oh.

Carter went to Seattle on business.

He'll be back on Friday.

Carter was supposed
to wire me some money

for his rent and his security deposit.

- It never came.
- Look, I don't know anything about that.

You're gonna
have to talk to Carter. Okay?

What's your name?

- Greg.
- Greg, listen,

if you speak to Carter before Friday

would you please tell him
that he's got this problem

with his rent
and his security deposit...

Yeah, well, it sounds
like your problem. Okay?

Ask him to call me
with the transaction numbers

or give them to you to give to me

so we can straighten this out.

Yeah. I'll be sure
to give him the message.

Oh.
He just hit a wire. It's okay.

I'll go down and fix it.

Um, don't pull that nail
until I say it's okay.

All right.

You require new wires.

This is a very dangerous situation.

Okay.

I got it.

Is it on?

No.

How about now?

Not yet.

Drake?

No, Patty.

Did that do it?

Not yet.

There you go!

Okay.

Mr. Hayes?

Is that you?

Mr. Hayes?

- Drake?
- Hey, you fixed it.

Hayes is down there.

Sitting in his car.
He was just watching me.

Hayes!

Hayes!

No, thank you.

I left my number before and Mr. Fidlow
has never returned my phone call.

- What was that name again?
- Carter Hayes.

H-A-Y-E-S.

I've left you
all this information before.

Well, I'm sorry, sir.
We do not have a client by that name.

Well, maybe...
Maybe you can explain to me

how it is Mr. Fidlow
doesn't know a Carter Hayes

when Mr. Hayes, who's locked himself
into my goddamn apartment

and hasn't paid me any rent

keeps telling me to call
his goddamn attorney

Bennett Fidlow
in San-Fucking-Antonio, Texas.

Hello?

Hello!

Okay. What's the most important thing
I said to remember when we're riding?

We're the boss.

That's right.
And why are we the boss?

Because we're smarter.

Absolutely.

Okay. That's enough for today. Dismount.

- Can you take over, Jana?
- Okay.

Hi.

Put your reigns
in your right hand.

Stay on the left side of your horse.

You look so serious.

Rough day at work.

It's a kite-eat-kite world
out there, Patty.

You know, I was... I was thinking
maybe we could sneak out tonight.

I made a reservation
down at Mama Chan's.

I don't know if I'm up to it.

Ah, a bottle of wine,
a nice dinner. It'll do us both good.

I went to the doctor's today.

Why?

Well, I can't seem to shake
this flu that I've been fighting,

so, I figured I'd just
make an appointment and go.

What did he say?

It's definitely not the flu.

Well, that's good then.

You know, maybe we'd both feel better
if we went out and had some fun.

Hayes' rent didn't come, did it?

No. Tomorrow, probably.

- Probably?
- Yeah, it's a bank mix up.

Look, I'm on top of it.
Don't worry about it.

- Drake...
- Look.

I got us into this, Patty.
I'm gonna get us out of it.

End of discussion.

End of discussion?

The doctor says I'm pregnant.

Oh, uh...

Congratulations.

Thanks.

- Hello.
- Uh, Ms. Palmer?

Yeah, who is this?

- Yeah?
- I come here and knock,

nobody answers. Hammering stops.

I go back. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!

I don't like this guy.

It's Drake Goodman,
your landlord. May I come in?

Look, I know you're in there.
I can hear you in there.

I've got a key.

So if you don't open the door,
I'm just gonna come in anyway.

He's changed the locks.

You changed the fucking locks!

Ah!

Yeah! Good night.

I don't care if he comes through
with the money now or not.

I just want him out.

No harm, no foul.

He leaves right away,
he doesn't owe us anything.

Goodbye. Good riddance.

Now what?

Jesus...

Yes, who is it?

San Francisco Police Department.

They were doing construction
at 2-fucking-30 in the morning!

They won't answer the door!

I can't use my key to get in,

because they've changed
all the fucking locks!

- Drake...
- I don't appreciate

foul language, sir.

May I say something?

My friend is a sculptor, and he was
working a little late last night.

- I'm very sorry if he kept anyone up.
- Bullshit!

You back off!

Look, he hasn't
even paid his rent. Ask him.

Apparently, there has been
a mix up in the wire transfer

of my money to San Francisco. I'm sorry.

They moved in there,
they changed all the locks,

so I can't see what he
and his little buddy are destroying.

- I signed a lease.
- He hasn't paid the rent,

or even a security fucking deposit!

- Drake, take it easy.
- Look, I can handle this, Patty.

- Fine.
- Listen, listen, listen.

I understand why Mr. Goodman is upset.

His bank lost my money,

I was out of town.
The man's caught in the middle.

I don't even wanna file a complaint.

But I don't understand

why he wouldn't give me
the opportunity to straighten things out

unless he's found somebody
he'd rather rent...

- This is such bullshit!
- Oh, come on.

- Look, let's take a walk.
- Look, I just...

- Now! Come on.
- I just want the guy to pay his rent!

Come on, cool it down.

What? What?

What you did
is against the law.

Well, my other tenant...

Listen, Patty, I'm truly
sorry it's come to this.

The bank shows me
that the money has been sent.

- I didn't think Drake...
- I'd like you to not talk to me.

Listen to me. Listen.

I just want the guy
the hell out of my house!

Well, then you better listen to me,
or he's gonna be so far up your butt,

you're gonna be
pickin' him out your nose.

Now I want you to turn back on

all the heat and all the power
to this man's apartment.

You apologize,

and you do not, and I emphasize, do not,

harass him again.

Then go out and get yourself a lawyer.

'Cause according
to California Civil Code,

Mr. Hayes can sue you
for this stunt you just pulled.

And most likely, he'll win.

He... He doesn't even
have a right to be in that apartment...

Are you listening to me?

- He hasn't paid the rent!
- Are you listening to me?

If he's in, he's got rights.
That's how it works.

And I'll tell you
something else, friend.

If he decides to fight an eviction,

you're already knee-deep in shit.

Get a lawyer.

He's taken possession.

So, whether he signed a lease,

or whether he paid you money or not,

he's legally your tenant now.

And he's protected by laws that say

you have to go to court and prove
that he deserves to be evicted.

However, the net effect of these laws,

is to protect any pointy-headed cretin

who moves into your property,

and slowly drives you
bankrupt and insane.

So, what do we do?

I can take on the case.

What are our chances of winning?

No guarantees...

Er, my base fee for an uncontested case

is $250.

We charge $90 and hour thereafter,

and a minimum of $360,

for any court appearances.

How long will it take?

Uncontested, six to eight weeks.

- If he contests?
- Six to eight months

worst case. And then
you have to go after him

in court again to collect.

Wouldn't it just be a lot
easier to throw him out?

Easy and wrong.

This is the process, folks.
There aren't any shortcuts.

I need a description of
Hayes for Mr. Revilla,

my process server
and I need the key to your front door.

- Is, uh, Carter Hayes in?
- No.

I have some important
documents for him...

Okay.

All right.

Get it shined, get them
shined, shine 'em up.

Buddy, you need to get
in that bank and get a loan.

Look at them shoes.

All right, low-investment loans
for people like shoes like yours.

Come here, get a good shine, right here.

I'll put a glow on that coat.

All right, who's next?

Ladies and skirts, half price.

Come here, sunshine.

Get that half-price special
right here on that Dr. Shoe Love.

Get it shined, get them shined, yeah.

Shine 'em up, shine 'em up.
Where you going?

All right, all right.
Let me just guess what this is.

As much as we'd like to help you,

we just can't afford
to string out the loan.

It wouldn't be fair to us,
and it wouldn't be fair to you, right?

- Right.
- They tell you the bank

is pulling for you. That no one wants to
foreclose a loan... They tell you that?

That's horsepucky. Bankerspeak.

So, what... what do we do now, Reed?

I can loan you maybe a grand,
but that's not gonna help.

Not gonna do it.

There are alternative lenders, you know.

High interest houses that
specialize in burying it.

"Let a smile be your umbrella."

Great.

- I could start riding again.
- Oh, that's a good idea, Patty.

You're pregnant with a blown knee.

You seriously think
that you could ride a horse...

Wait a minute,
wait a minute. Are you pregnant?

My knee is fine.

And I don't have to be pregnant.

Look, I'm not going to lose you,

I'm not going to lose our child

and I'm not going to lose our house.

Well, I guess we can
just stop worrying now.

Who is this?

"Dear Drake and Patty, I'm so sorry

"for the misunderstanding
that has come between us.

"Please accept this gift

"in my sincere hope
that we can work everything out.

"Carter Hayes."

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty,
kitty, kitty, kitty,

kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty,
kitty, kitty...

Mrs. Patty, Mrs. Patty!

What, Mrs. Watanabe?

- Watch in the kitchen. The kitchen...
- What?

Okay. Okay.

In here? What?

Oh, shit! Oh, shit!

Oh!

The San Francisco roach,
generally German,

or Oriental in derivation.

With your krauts edging out

your rice grinders
in the overall disgustingness factor.

I think these were American.

How are we supposed to pay for this?

We're $1,100 short this morning...

Don't yell at me.

If we don't do it, MacDonald
says we lose the eviction.

We can't afford that either.

- Maybe we should borrow money for this.
- No!

No, we're not gonna borrow money.

This is stupid! We should
just let this building go.

Oh, okay, fine!

You can do whatever you want.

I'm not letting any jerk
chase me out of my own property.

It's
the promiscuity factor

that makes it harder to hammer it down.

I'll be using your
chlorpyrifos and pyrethrin

in a high pressure injection system.

I've also got the RSU.

- What's that?
- Roach Sucking Unit.

It's just a backup.

Oh...

They're coming in from next door!

Oh, shit!

Call reinforcements. Holy shit.

They're probably camped out
in the other apartment.

If we could go at it from over there,

we'd have
a better chance of containment.

What if we can't?

Get a whole bunch of little
tiny leashes and pretend they're pets.

I'm sorry.

You know...

Our luck

has gotta change tomorrow.

Maybe.

- Hello?
- Carter Hayes lives here, doesn't he?

Yes.

Yeah, well, do you know if he's in?
Because I've been ringing the buzzer

and there doesn't seem
to be any answer in there.

I don't know.

- Is Carter Hayes in there?
- Uh, no, he's not here.

Look, I'm Ann.
Did he tell you about me?

He must've told you about me.
Ann from the desert?

Look, I've been drivin' all night,
and I don't have time for this shit.

Now, I know that he's in there
and I'm not leaving

- until I talk to him...
- Why don't you come in here, okay?

Let go of me. What are you...

- Shut up!
- Are you his partner?

- Shut up!
- Are you his partner?

That's none of your business!

- I need to talk to him.
- About what?

Come on,
you're not that stupid, figure it out.

No, I'm sorry. It was a gift.

Is anything pure gold,
14 karat gold?

I... I have no knowledge
of jewelry. I just... I'm sorry.

I just need money, desperately.

Next!

All right, what have we got?

The only way I can swing it is
if you deposit $5,800 with us.

If you do that, I can give you $5,000.

That's what we call a secured loan.

You'll probably get the money
in a couple of days. No qualifying.

If I have $5,800, I wouldn't
need to borrow anything!

Right.

Well, I guess we won't be
doing any business then.

Wait a minute. Your ad
in the Yellow Pages...

Your ad said
that you give high-risk loans.

That you specialize in giving loans

to people who can't get a loan
any place else.

Lady, don't believe
everything you read, okay?

I've gone through
the figures three times. I cannot do it.

All I'm asking for is $5,000 to get us
through the next few months.

You have a $750,000
piece of property here.

Sell your building and keep the change.

I can't sell the building.

- Is she done yet?
- She's done.

Is there something
you wanna tell me, man?

What do you mean?

I think there's a lot of stuff
you're not telling me, Carter.

I'm sure there's a lot
of stuff I'm not telling you.

Your girlfriend
came by the other day.

So?

So she told me
that the two of you made 250 grand

on a real estate deal like this

and she didn't see any of it.

She's mistaken.

She's a useless bitch anyway.

She was paid. She didn't even have to do
anything. I had the whole thing wired.

Listen to me and listen
to me carefully, okay?

This is my business.

And I'm very good at it, Greg.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Well, then how come
we're getting evicted so soon?

- You said, man, that...
- That's not an issue.

...that wasn't going to happen.

I told you from the fucking get-go,

there was gonna be certain risks
involved and you have to be flexible.

Yeah, well don't
bullshit me, Carter!

What are you talking about?

Look, I just want you
to know that I know, man.

- If you try and cut me out...
- What, Greg?

Just don't do it!

Or what?

Ahhh! God!

Drake?

Drake!

- Drake?
- What?

Oh, God...

I almost ran over that
guy from downstairs.

I thought maybe you'd
gotten in a fight with him.

They've got our cat down there.

And they're, uh, breeding roaches.

Apparently, screwing people
over is just a job to them.

What are you talking about?

Isn't that the best? I mean,

our life is coming apart

and this son of a bitch
just thinks it's business as usual.

- Oh, Drake.
- This is what he does for a living.

You're drunk.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

- What?
- You'll like this too.

This was under the door when I came in.

It's from the Watanabes.

It's the noise
and the bugs and...

And my wife, she can't sleep.

Me...

I'm so sorry, it's no good.

You signed a lease
for one year, Mr. Watanabe.

I will try to pay you back.

Moving expense, new apartment expense...

Lots of expense.

You can take me to court, sue me, but...

So sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Well...

I guess there's nothing else to say.

Good fortune.

Yeah.

In answer to your
suit against him,

Mr. Hayes has submitted to the court

affidavits A and B

confirming plaintive attempted

unlawful eviction of a Mr. Hayes

on the 15th of last May.

I turned the gas and electricity off.
There was a policeman...

Your... Your Honor, my client's and I...

Ms. MacDonald, I assume
you've received these documents?

Yes, I have just received
them, Your Honor.

I think there's been a mix up.

I think the law's
quite clear on this point. Don't you?

Mr. Hayes is entitled
to a reduction of rent

due to uninhabitability

caused by Mr. Goodman's
misguided attempt

to force him from the premises
by disconnecting his utilities.

Court rules
for the defendant, Carter Hayes.

And let the records show,
that according to the lease,

Mr. Hayes' legal cost
is to be paid by the plaintiff.

Your Honor, I would like to ask
for a 10-minute postponement.

Ms. MacDonald, I see where you have
other cases before this Court today.

I hope you are better prepared for them.

I assume you'll wanna cooperate

with the bench now
in keeping things moving?

Yes, sir.

That's it?

Why didn't you tell me
you tried to force him out?

I didn't think it mattered.

You set us back months!

He's lying!

This guy has been playing
you like a piano concerto.

Me? What about you?

I got a guy livin' in my building

who hasn't paid me one cent!

Not only can't you get him out,
but now I owe him money?

Maybe you'd like
to retain another attorney?

Stephanie.

Please don't quit.

Drake's been under a lot of pressure.

The bank is threatening
to foreclose on us.

This isn't a moral question, Patricia.

Morally, you're right.

You win. Big deal.

This is a game,

and the object of the game
is to get Mr. Hayes

out of your building before
he destroys your lives.

He knows you're going
to get him out eventually.

He's just trying
to stay there as long as he can.

- Why?
- I don't know.

Because it's possible.

Because he's evil.
What difference does it make?

It's nothing personal.

God forbid he ever makes it personal.

Out of food out of time

Those who live do not care

A taste of war a taste of death

Die!

Drake! Stop it!

Drake, stop. Stop it! Stop it!

- God damn it, Drake!
- What?

What is happening to you?

I want him out of here!

Ahhh!

Patty?

Patty?

Patty?

Oh, God...

Patty...

Oh...

Just a couple more tests for you.

- Hi.
- Hi.

How do you feel?

I feel like Lady Macbeth.

There was so much blood.

Everything's gonna be all right.

You know, the doctor says we can
even try again after a few months.

911 emergencies.

Give me the police, please.

Something's got to change, Drake.

You and me and this place,
it's just not working.

Drake?

What do you expect me
to say to that, Patty?

Fine? Nice knowing you?

Jesus.

That's not what I meant.

I don't know what I expect anymore.

Maybe that's part of the problem.

I'm sorry I talked you
into buyin' this place.

You didn't talk me into anything.

Patty...

Something was right about us before.

Whatever else has got screwed up,
we have to remember that.

Hi, I didn't want to, uh...

Intrude. But I heard
the ambulance last night

and called the hospital.
They told me what happened.

God...

Nature can be so cruel sometimes.

Anyway, Patty, I wanted
to offer my condolences.

If there is anything at all
I can do to help...

Ahhh!

Drake!

Drake.

Drake, stop! Stop it!

Drake, stop it! You're killing him.

Stop it! Drake! God damn it...

Stop it!

Drake...

Are you all right? Are you all right?

I'm sorry, Patty.

It's okay.

- Let's go back in the house.
- No, no, no...

No! Officer, hey, hey!

Don't hurt him!

What are you arresting me for?

He didn't do anything!

You have the right to remain silent.

You have
the right to remain silent.

He didn't do anything.
It was the other guy.

Please don't hurt him.

You have the right
to speak to an attorney

and have an attorney present.

You are arresting the wrong man!

- Can I go with him?
- No.

Keep struggling, I'll break
your goddamn arm.

Watch your head.

You got the wrong fucking man!

You arrested the wrong man!

There's nothing you can do
until the arraignment tomorrow morning.

He needs a criminal law
specialist, Patricia.

I'm out of my depth here.
I can recommend somebody.

My guess is that Hayes
doesn't care about the criminal charges.

He's gonna go after Drake
with a civil suit.

This is what he wanted.
Game's over. Drake loses.

Can I give you a ride home?

What does this do to the eviction?

Ironically, nothing. We'll get him out.

Of course, Hayes might get the building

before he's through
because of the civil suit.

It's lucky you're not married,

otherwise Drake
will pull you down with him.

I had a miscarriage last night.

I know.

I need to know
where Drake'll be staying.

He'll be at home with me.

Patty, Hayes is asking
for a temporary restraining order

because of the assault.

Drake can't come
within 500 feet of the building

as long as Hayes is there.

This is our home.

This is all happening to us in our home.

I know.

You want a hand?

No, no. I got it.

Oh. I'll get some clean sheets.

These look pretty rude.

Hello.

Hello?

Patty.

You know...

I think that
under different circumstances,

you and I
could've gotten to be good friends.

The time allotted
for you to dial has been exceeded.

Please hang up and dial again.

The time allotted
for you to dial has been exceeded.

Please hang up and dial again.

Get it started. Now watch this.

Voila.

I'll get that.
Hang on, man. Don't burn the house down.

Hello?

Hi, it's me. Um...

Is everything all right?

I just wanted to see how you were doing.

Fine.

It only hurts when I blink.

- Um...
- Something wrong?

No, I... I just... I miss you.

Well, why don't you come over here?

Yeah, I mean, look, this is ridiculous.

Why don't you come over here
and spend the night?

No, it's okay.

- Um, somebody's gotta be here.
- Nobody has to be there.

- Tell me what's wrong.
- Everything's fine.

- No, Patty.
- I better...

- I'm better go. Don't worry.
- Patty.

- Bye.
- Patty, you're not...

You're a very brave
and stupid man.

What are you doing, Drake?

You can't come in here.

Listen.

Carter, it's no big deal.

I just wanna go upstairs
and see Patty, okay?

But you're breaking the law, Drake.

Wait a minute.

Damn.

Hi.

I really screwed things up.

I don't know
what I've been trying to prove.

Shh. Don't talk.

What was I trying to prove?

You don't have to prove anything.

Go to sleep.

I love you.

I love you too.

We have no case because Hayes
was technically within his right

to protect himself.

I mean, Goodman threatens Hayes

who fearing for his life,

justifiably, based upon the previous
assault complaint, defends himself.

You're the DA, Henry. Make a case.

There's a history
of mutual animosity here.

There's a history
of Goodman assaulting Hayes.

I can make a case
but I can't win it, what's the point?

- They're a nice couple.
- Right.

Well, at least
the default judgment came through today.

We're evicting
that son of a bitch tomorrow.

I'll need you to sign right here.

Mr. Carter Hayes?

It's the sheriff's department,
Mr. Hayes.

We've come to see you out.

Appointed locksmith, Manford Bagel,
will facilitate entry at this point.

Ooh.

Whoa.

Damn.

God, this is bad.

How much can he make off of this crap?

God!

Look, I don't have his name here.

He's still probably
at the 3rd Street station.

Gas stove, microwave, disposal,
dishwasher,

two sinks, one toilet?

Um, about how many
electrical fixtures would you guess?

I don't know.

Okay, well, it's not important but, uh,

you know, we will need
it for your insurance.

We're gonna need a complete list.

The insurance was canceled.

- Yeah.
- Patricia Palmer still with you?

- Yeah, she's right here.
- I'd like to speak with her.

Yeah, sure. Come on in.

Uh, that's my boss.

Here you go.

I recognized the name on the report.

You two know each other?

Bobby, why don't you take these upstairs

see if we can get a running start

on where this cretin
might fence the appliances.

- Sure thing, Lieutenant.
- Thank you.

I guess, you're wishing now
that you'd rented to the black man.

You never brought back your application.

- Oh, I brought it back.
- I never got it.

Uh-huh.

The Porsche in your garage was leased.

Hayes made one payment,
put stolen plates on it,

they've been looking for him ever since.

I sent a tow over
to haul away what's left of it.

He shot my boyfriend.

I know. You're lucky he didn't kill him.

This is a sick individual, Ms. Palmer.

Be grateful he's out of your life.

Right now, you don't
mean a thing to him. Leave it that way.

If he's gonna get caught.
We'll catch him.

He shot my boyfriend.
My boyfriend is in the hospital.

He destroyed our property.

There are lawsuits,
there's the foreclosure,

I had a miscarriage.

And you're telling me
to forget about him?

Next time, maybe he ain't so lucky.

Next time, maybe he runs
into the man who blows his brains out.

Next time?

Let him go, Ms. Palmer.

Hi, Mr. Fidlow please.

May I ask what it's concerning?

It's regarding James Danforth.

- Yes, ma'am.
- It's a Patricia Palmer on line one

- regarding James Danforth.
- All right, put her through.

How can I help ya?

Um, yeah, you represent
Charles and James Danforth.

I'm an executor of a family trust

special conservatorship
benefiting James Danforth.

But this should not be confused
with being his attorney.

- Whatever he's told you.
- Mr. Fidlow, are you aware...

And furthermore,
whatever James has done,

the trust can not be touched.

And neither I,
nor his brother, can or will

be held accountable for his activities.

You mean, his family
pays him to stay away?

I'm afraid
I can't comment on that.

Well, where is he now?

Look, you just best
let this sleeping dog lie.

- Where...
- Lady.

He's been
out of control for a long time.

Well, maybe I should
just go to his brother directly.

You can't touch him, Ms. Palmer.

James has no assets.
The trust cannot be attached

and he is legally
severed from his family.

I don't want money, Mr. Fidlow.

I just wanna know where he is.

He doesn't tell me where he is. Ever.

Well then, tell me where he's been.

He's far and away
the most intelligent man I've ever met.

He's not your type.

Oh, it's okay to want him,
it's a free country.

I could tell, you know?
When I saw you up in Frisco,

I could tell you had a thing for him.

Are you his type?

What do you think?

I think, you're sitting here
waiting for him

and meanwhile, he's blown you off.

And it's pretty pathetic.

You don't even know him.

You don't even know his real name.

It isn't Hayes, you know.

It isn't Carter Hayes.

Carter Hayes is the stupid old man
who owned this condo.

He tried to throw us out,

he sent his tough guys
after us to rough us up.

But now, look who's here
and look who's not.

Your the pathetic one.

And he didn't blow me off.

He sent me a postcard just yesterday.

Read it.

He's not like anyone else.

He does whatever he wants.

We understand each other.

That's what we have.

You?

You're just chasing a shadow.

Yes, Andre. I need it delivered
immediately to room 1550.

Excuse me?

Yes, thank you.

Do you have
someone named Carter Hayes staying here?

Hayes? I'll check.

No, I'm sorry. We don't.

How about Goodman? Drake Goodman.

Goodman?

I'll check.

We do, but I see that he's out.

Oh. Well, um...

He left this in the store where I work.

- Do you think you can give it to him?
- Certainly.

Would you care to leave
your name or number...

No, thank you.

Front desk. Victor.

Hello?

- Uh, room 81.
- Special delivery.

- It's not yet arrived.
- Yes, uh...

- Uh, room 81.
- Special delivery...

- Great.
- ...not yet arrived.

Not here.

- It must to be...
- Special delivery is not here.

- Not arrived?
- Hi.

- Sure?
- Hi.

- Bye. Bye-bye.
- Later on.

- Yes.
- Later.

- 1031.
- 1031.

- Mr. Goodman?
- That's right.

- Uh, no messages.
- Okay.

Oh, a young woman
returned your wallet, sir.

- Pardon me?
- She said she found it

in the store where she works.

Oh, yeah. Great. Thanks.

- Mr. Goodman, how are you?
- Hi, Heidi. How are you?

Come on in.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry to bother you.

I was just wondering
if you could let me into my room.

My dumb husband has locked me out
and I thought, you know...

Which room?

1031, Goodman.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

I didn't know
what I was gonna do. Thanks a lot.

Okay.

Oh, God.

That damn son of a bitch!

God damn motherfucker!

Is everything okay?

Yes.

Hello.

Oh, good.
I'm so glad you're home.

You're not. Where are you?

- You went after him, didn't you?
- Absolutely.

Look, I don't have much time
and I need you to help me, okay?

Call and cancel all your credit cards.

Hayes is using duplicates
with your name on it.

- Oh, great.
- Then call the bank

- and put a hold on our checking account.
- Why?

There's a 24-hour hotline,
I think the number's on top of...

It's on top
of the last bank statement, I know.

What are you doing?

Something that's
gonna make us feel really good.

- Well, be careful.
- I'll be back tonight. Bye.

Hello, Room Service. Gary speaking.

- Hi, this is Mrs. Goodman in room 1031.
- Yes?

Yeah, my husband and I
would like to have a small dinner party

up here, tonight. Charge it to the room.

Of course. What would you like?

Um, let's see,
I'd like have a vichyssoise.

Vichyssoise.

- And Caesar salad and filet mignon.
- Caesar salad and filet mignon.

Oh, and what do you have
for dessert? Do you have...

Do you have crème brûlée?

Of course, we do, yes,
with raspberry sauce.

- Oh, that sounds really good.
- Yes, it's very good.

What beverage would you like?

- Well, we'll need a full bar and...
- Full bar?

Um, coffee with the desert.

Of course.
And how many people is this for?

- Eighteen.
- Eighteen?

- Mmm-hmm. And how long will that be?
- At least two hours.

- Two hours? Can you put a rush on it?
- Oh, we try, we try, yes.

Great. By the way,

it's our anniversary today,

and my husband would like
to send a bottle of champagne

to everybody staying on the 10th floor.

- Everyone on the 10th floor?
- Mmm.

That's very generous.

Well, that's the kind of man
that he is.

Thank you.

- Good evening, Victor.
- Good evening, Mr. Goodman.

Any messages?

1031.

No messages.

Mr. Goodman, may I please
have a word with you?

I'm sorry to trouble you, sir

but we seem to be having
a problem with your credit card.

Really?

What kind of problem?

This is Lieutenant Palmer

from the San Francisco
Police Department.

- Yes, ma'am. Can I help you?
- Mmm-hmm.

I was wondering if you leased
a black Cadillac Coupe de Ville

with the license plate number 2PET764

- to a man named Drake Goodman.
- Let me check.

- Yes, we did. Why?
- You did?

Well, there are some things that I think
you might be interested in knowing.

Well, listen, why don't I
just write you a check,

to take care of things
'till we get this straightened out.

I don't... That wouldn't
be acceptable. I'm sorry.

- We called your bank, as a backup?
- Yeah.

They said that your account
has been frozen.

Yes, I'd like to report
some stolen travelers checks.

Lost or stolen?

No, no, my husband is certain
that they've been stolen.

- Stolen.
- Mmm-hmm. All 30 of them.

Well, I assumed you got the
necessary approval when I checked in.

Well, yes. But when a customer
charges over $100 to their room

we generally run a card again

for approval and that's when
we discovered the problem.

Right, except, I didn't charge
anything to my room.

It's probably
a clerical error on their part.

But we just have to look out
for ourselves, you understand?

I didn't charge anything to my room.

- Well, maybe it was your wife.
- My wife?

Come on.

- Mr. Goodman, excuse me Mr. Goodman...
- No, not now.

- ...I really, excuse me.
- Taxi.

- I really cannot allow you...
- Evening ma'am.

Mr. Goodman, the hotel
has a very strict policy in this matter.

We will... I assure you we will take
the necessary steps immediately.

Mr. Goodman, we will call the police!

They're lying.

These people are completely
pathological.

They took a half a year's rent
from me and said I never paid them.

They evicted me, they slandered me,

they totally destroyed my credit.

They physically assaulted me.

They threatened my life.

And now this.

These people are parasites.

Florence.

I am so sorry...

That you were
even touched by any of this.

Oh, God, I'm so embarrassed.

When I first met you
I was enchanted, and I...

I was dazzled.

I'm sorry.

You know it's not like
I can't prove they're lying.

I can prove they're lying.

It's gonna take a little time.

I'll have to take them to court I guess.

But for right now
it's my word against theirs, isn't it?

I don't know what these people want.

You know that if they
hadn't tied-up my trust

I would never ask you for anything.

But if the bail isn't paid

I can't get out of here.

And I cannot prove to you, sir,

what I hope Florence
already knows in her heart.

At least I would hope, that you know.

Look.

I'm just asking you to do

whatever it is
your heart tells you to do.

Oh, not again.

TV 20

And now one of
the most unusual buys

you will ever see.
A six piece full pony fur desk set.

And we have a caller right now.

Hi. Who am I speaking to?

David, hi, this is Mary.

- Well, hi Mary, where you calling from?
- I'm calling from Santa Fe.

Santa Fe, well, this desk set
is perfect for you, isn't it?

- David, I just love this. I got three.
- You got three?

Oh, you got a great buy on these,
and you know they're only $54 right now.

- I know that.
- Isn't this unbelievable?

Yeah. You know,
I have varicose veins

and I hate to shop at malls.
I really...

Oh, yeah.

This is perfect. I can pull out my VISA,

dial the phone. It's great, David.

Well, Mary, you just
prop up your feet and relax and

enjoy yourself and keep on shopping.

Okay, you guys,
stay here and keep me covered.

Hands all over the Eastern border

You know what?

I think we're falling

From composure...

Kitty?

Kitty?

Kitty?

Kitty?

Kitty?

Put your hands away

Put your hands away

Put your hands away...

Kitty.

You're gonna kill your mother

Gonna kill your mother...

Kitty, you bad cat. Where have you been?

You scared me
to death down there.

Kitty, kitty.

Kitty.

Kitty?

You crossed the line.

You were in my room.

You were in my private things.

You and your boyfriend.

You insulted my intelligence.

You got into my area.

What you doing?

No! No!

Ow!

How am I gonna make a living now?

What am I gonna tell my family?

Huh?

Did you know
that half of all homicide victims

are killed with their own hand guns?

Did you know that?

- No, no!
- Did you?

Ow!

What am I gonna do with you, Patty? Huh?

What are you making me do here?

Don't you know
I have responsibilities? Huh?

I've got people, I've got my brother.

I mean, I've got

a lot of people who depend on me.

Then you come along.

I mean, what was the point?

How does it feel?

- Huh? Patty, did it feel good?
- No.

Is that it? When you're
in my private things spying on me.

- It felt good, didn't it?
- No.

- Yes it did.
- No.

- You crossed the line and it felt good.
- No.

- You're lying. You're lying.
- No.

Get off me!

No.

Stop it. No.

No.

It's a Victorian.
It was built in 1883.

Somebody remodeled it in the 40s.

But we tried to restore it back

to its original state
the best that we could.

- Oh, you did all the work yourself?
- Yeah, most of it.

You know how hard
it is to find packing boxes?

- Hi.
- Hi

I actually had to buy these.

Honey... This is Drake.
This is Bill and Amy.

- Hi, Amy.
- Nice to meet you.

We were just telling Patty,

how impressed we are
with all the work you've done.

- Oh, thank you. Thank you.
- Yeah.

So, you wanna buy the place?

Well, uh,

it's a little more money

than we thought of originally
but it's great.

Well, you know,
you've got the two rental units

to help make the mortgage.

Yeah, well, we'd sure need it.

Oh, honey, look at these floors.
They're gorgeous.

Hmm.

- Yeah. Refinished.
- We, uh, just had them refinished.

- Oh.
- Beautiful.

- Yeah.
- Well, thank you.

Why don't we leave you alone
to talk and...

We'll be right upstairs
if you need us, packing. Okay?

- It's nice meeting you.
- Yeah.

- Patty.
- Yeah.

Do you mind if I ask you
why you're selling?

I mean, you've done
so much to this place.

You obviously put your heart in it.

No, not really.
It... It was just an investment.

I know you love it,
but we're talking about $900,000.

I bet we can offer
them an 850 or 825.

Oh. Oh, that's all, okay.

Um.

What if we don't qualify
for a bank loan?

We will.

First thing I'm gonna do is take
these curtains off these windows.

Can we talk about the purchase price
before you redesign the entire place?

Well, I just have so many ideas.

- It'll be okay.
- It'll be okay, huh?

- Well, as long as you say so.
- I know so.
