This is my mom, Meredith.

What are you working on?

A show I have coming up.

You know, if you're really interested, I'll be running the whole thing out of the office here, and I am always looking for smart people.

Sure.

Yeah.

Pam.

You're welcome mm There's a hippie compound out in Laguna Beach.

They're sitting on a ton of cash.

Should be easy.

[RAPID g*nf*re]

You know who didn't get busted?

Your boyfriend.

So either he's working with the cops or it's easier for someone to think that he is, right?

- [g*nsh*t FIRES]

- [THUD]

POPE: This is new for you, right?

DERAN: I thought I'd feel something, but I don't.

I don't feel anything.

POPE: She has cancer.

She won't let me tell my brothers.

I was supposed to pick up my grandmother.

She cut her chemo short today.

She stares deeply Locked inside me Burnin' brightly One they know that I cannot take Waitin' for it all to begin Every night now, they'll win Come and meet my black hole Got a big black hole Got a big black hole I've got a big black hole I've got a big black, big black hole Got a big black hole inside of me Got a ADRIAN: I got caught.

Working for Jack.

They told me I was gonna go to jail for 20 years.

The DEA said that if I worked with them they could reduce the charges.

I could even get probation.

I was I was supposed to be done after Japan.

And then, um, this detective shows up, and he, uh, starts asking questions about you and your brothers.

Saying if I don't cooperate, then the deal's off the table.

I told them I don't know anything, Deran.

[SNIFFLES]

Please.

Say something.

Deran?

Didn't come in last night.

I came home late.

Smurf was pretty sick.

Are you gonna be the one who ends up having to take care of her?

Yeah.

Of course it'll be you.

Who else would do it?

Do you know what she wants?

Does she want to be on any kind of life support?

Feeding tube?

Ventilator?

Did she sign anything to tell you what to do when it gets bad?

Because it's it's going to get bad.

MEREDITH: I know they want all access, but they aren't gonna get it.

TACARA: What should I tell them?

Tell them that the eyebrow lady for the fifth most important act on the bill is lucky we're giving her a meal and a chair.

Ah.

The gentleman courting my daughter.

Are we being too loud?

Is this for the show?

Making sure everyone has the right credentials, wristbands, the whole nine yards.

Oh, it says they also want eyebrow lady to have limo service.

No.

She can park with the staff like everyone else.

Is waxing even a talent?

I'd had some drinks and couldn't get pulled over Hey, is this an 8, or is it a 6?

- It's a 6.

- Thank you.

I do not understand why smart people have such shitty handwriting.

[LAUGHS]

What are you doing?

Getting dressed.

Are you leaving?

No.

Your mom said I could help her with some of the prep work for the festival.

Right now?

Yeah, I-I asked.

[SCOFFS]

Unbelievable.

She is terrified of getting old so she tries to make all of my friends her friends.

You know working with my mom's not gonna get you any points.

I already like you.

It's cool.

I want to.

So you'd rather stuff envelopes for Meredith than have sex with me?

Can't I do both?

You're so lame.

[CHUCKLES]

[DRILL WHIRRING]

What you doing?

You know, these assh*le instructions said not to use a drill.

It's taken like 3 hours to do that side and like 10 minutes to do this one.

Did you get any sleep at all?

How much coke did you do?

[CLEARS THROAT]

I only did a bump.

Mm-hmm.

- Sure you did.

- Mm-hmm.

What's this?

It's a crib.

Kid's gonna need a place to sleep, right?

Got like 5 stars on some mom's website or some sh*t.

You're reading mom websites now?

Well, yeah.

I wanted to see how the baby was breathing in your stomach, and then before you know it, I'm looking up, like, crib safety and breast pumps.

Breast pumps?

I actually have some recommendations.

- Oh, I'm sure you do.

- I do.

You know, it's all about suction intensity and how it fits.

Yeah.

This is real, huh?

I'm having a baby.

Yeah.

Hey.

You're gonna do great.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

[JAMES ERVAN PARKER'S "BACK TO THE COUNTRY" PLAYS]

We're a man down.

He looks fine to me.

- Yeah.

- Put your feet to the sole, my friends And remember those hobnail boots Jump around in the mud again Now, ain't it fine gettin' back to the roots Any chance we'll be productive today?

Well, I'm taking everyone's money.

- I'd say that's being productive.

- [LAUGHS]

- Yeah, first time ever.

- Come on, man.

You don't like dominoes?

I don't play games.

Let me know if anyone decides to do anything useful.

Get on back Get on [FOOTSTEPS]

[DOOR CREAKS]

- Thought you might want some tea.

- [GASPS]

Get out of my room.

Peppermint.

It's good for nausea.

I figured that's why you're sleeping so late.

My dad did two rounds of chemo.

Could barely get out of bed.

d*ck cancer, biggest d*ck I knew.

I'll give you $10,000 to disappear for good.

That's your number, huh?

Solve anything with 10 grand.

You know, Julia never knew when you were coming, but it always seemed to happen when she was at her lowest.

How about 15?

How much did it take the last time, Smurf?

Huh?

Did you up it because I was in jail?

20?

30?

How much did it take to k*ll her?

$15,000.

That is my final offer.

Try the tea.

It works.

Let me know if you need anything else.

[SEAGULLS SQUAWKING, INDISTINCT TALKING]

[DOG BARKING]

I'm glad you finally called.

I can't do this.

Charge me.

Is that what you want me to tell Livengood?

I don't care what you tell him.

I'm done doing this with you and with him.

If that means that I go to prison, then I go.

Pretty boy like you won't last six months in prison.

You're young but in love.

I get it.

But you have to ask yourself, would Deran give all of this up for you?

Hey, J.

Does Smurf have a will?

- [VEHICLE DOOR CLOSES]

- What?

She's dying.

We need to know where all her money is going.

- How do you know she's dying?

- Pope told me.

She won't let him tell the others.

Does she have a-a will?

A-A lawyer?

I don't know.

[SIGHS]

I'm trying to get it out of Pope, but he's not saying anything.

You have to be careful.

If Smurf thinks you're asking too many questions, she will I'm not afraid of Smurf.

You should be.

J, you deserve everything she kept from you and Julia for all those years and more.

She might not even have a will.

[CHUCKLES]

She probably thinks she's gonna live forever.

And if if there is one, you're probably not in it.

We need to get what's yours.

I can help you.

Okay.

We We need to move fast.

I'm going to work.

Find out where the money is.

I don't think she has long.

Oh, hey, baby.

Should I make you some breakfast?

Uh, no.

Thank you.

Coffee's good.

Do you have any information for me?

Nobody knows about anyone talking to the police.

- I think it may be bullshit.

- It's not bullshit, J.

[MUG THUDS]

I, uh, have an idea for a job.

Do you?

There's this big concert called the Chronic Dread Fest.

20 acts.

14,000 people.

I have an in through this girl I know.

It's good, but I'm not sure what the best target is.

Festival's been going on for decades.

Do they even have box offices anymore?

No.

All the tickets are online.

But we have a way into operations.

Your girl.

We could hit the acts.

We could hit their equipment, maybe some concessions.

I can get inventory lists for everything they bring to their shows, everything they have in their buses.

What are we talking about?

Guitars?

And electronics, sound boards That's pretty bulky.

What are they worth?

According to the inventory lists, anywhere between 10 and 70K depending on the size.

And they're already in flight cases, ready for transport.

Then there's the buses.

There's money, jewelry.

I could take the boys to scout it.

You think it's good?

I think it could be.

I'll call my fence tomorrow, baby.

Could you call him today?

Is he local?

It's a she.

And no, she's not.

I, um, have an in to scout it today.

I'm not sure I'll have it tomorrow.

That's the only thing.

Okay.

[MUG RATTLES]

J?

Her name is Gia, the fence.

I'll let her know you're coming today.

Thank you, Smurf.

Don't thank me.

Just pay me my cut.

[LAUGHTER, INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

[THUDDING]

Finish me!

Oh!

Tell my mother I love her!

[LAUGHS]

Nice one, Phoenix.

What the hell's going on?

Phoenix just k*lled Jake.

[LAUGHTER]

You look like you could use some breakfast to soak up what's left of last night.

I'm fine.

You don't look fine.

It's nothing I can't sleep off if it weren't so g*dd*mn loud in here.

My mama taught me a recipe for a hangover.

If you can tolerate a raw egg, I can have you right as rain.

Is your girlfriend hard of hearing?

You got a problem, Smurf?

I hear fine.

Colin, Jake?

Y'all want some bacon?

Yes, please.

Let's go outside for a second.

[DOOR CLOSES]

What the hell's wrong with you?

Are we running a kindergarten?

Look, Jake's just letting the kid have a few days by the water and a decent bed.

I don't trust her.

She's harmless, okay?

- No one's harmless.

- [LAUGHS]

Not every woman is like you, Janine.

Most women want what Pam wants.

Someone to cook for and to keep them warm at night and safe from the big, bad wolf.

All you know about her is that she works in a diner off the highway and can make a pancake.

Maybe Jake needs a pancake right now and a little something extra after you dumped him and got him sh*t.

But what he doesn't need is you picking fights with his girlfriend because you're jealous.

If you think I'm jealous, you're a worse judge of character than I thought you were.

Well, computers and instruments require cleaning and serial wipes, and you could just as easily take those to a pawnshop.

What I'd be most interested in are the boards.

Lighting and sound.

You could get almost full price, maybe even more if they did any customizing.

- And you can do that?

- Yeah.

For my regular percentage.

Tell Smurf when they come in, I'll come to her.

How much do you think we can get for the boards?

I'll talk about the numbers with Smurf.

She sent me.

I looked through everything she wanted me to, and I'll discuss the details with her.

Okay.

I just don't think that You don't think what?

Nothing.

- I'll pass on that message.

- No.

Say what you were gonna say.

No, it's not my place.

But I'll tell her what you said.

What's going on?

Is there heat on her?

No.

If there's anything I should know No, it's fine.

It's fine.

She She's She's gonna be okay.

She's tough.

You know her.

Nothing can take her out, right?

No, she'll she'll b*at this thing.

She's sick?

She has cancer.

But she doesn't want anyone to know.

If it's easier for her to go through you, I can do that.

Thank you.

It was nice meeting you.

[LAUGHING]

Wow.

Look at you guys.

What's up, Angela?

Heard you were staying here.

Yeah, I thought you were only supposed to be here for a couple days.

Pope's letting me crash here till I get on my feet.

You got big, man.

- Yeah.

- Is, uh, J around?

Are you feeling okay?

When's your next chemo appointment?

There won't be a next chemo appointment.

It wasn't for me.

So, now what, huh?

What happens I mean I mean, do do do you need a nurse?

Do you need a nurse or something?

What are we supposed to do when When what, baby?

What are you gonna do when what?

J, take the margaritas outside for me, please.

Thank you, baby.

Don't worry, Andrew.

I won't leave you with a mess.

We're having a family meeting now, Angela.

Would you mind?

Still got this sh*t going on, huh?

I'm surprised you let her stay here.

She keeps Pope calm.

Okay, J.

Put it on the table.

You guys heard of Chronic Dread Festival?

Yeah, I used to go every year before the, uh, hipsters took it over.

That's where Brenden lost his eye in the mosh pit.

He didn't lose his eye.

He just can't see out of it.

It's the same sh*t.

I can get us passes to park VIP right near the loading docks.

There are four light and sound boards that the headliners use backstage.

Go for about 70K each.

There's gonna be people everywhere.

What, no one's gonna notice us just loading sound boards onto a truck?

200 people work at this event.

Nobody knows who's who.

They don't have to know us.

They have to see us.

Stuff goes missing, it takes one guy who remembers us.

What do you want us to do?

We gotta scout it today, around 3:00 p. m.

Alright.

Come on.

This sounds like an easy job.

Let's make this a good one.

Alright.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Where are you going, baby?

I have some stuff to do.

But if we have to scout this thing later, I'll come meet you guys.

Good.

Hey.

You might wanna sit this one out.

- Why?

- You know why.

I'll be fine.

See you later.

When the gates of How long are we gonna stay here, Mama?

Oh, not too much longer, baby.

You get some sleep.

I'll be happy to go on living Because my life will never end You're smoking that stuff a lot.

Yeah, well, ever since little Miss Pancakes has started cooking, my stomach's been sh*t.

Managed through it all somehow Colin, how are you feeling, baby?

I'm alright.

Hmm, well.

If the boys are doing alright, I guess it isn't my cooking.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Baby.

So do you hate all kids, or is there something special about that one?

It's his mom I don't like.

Ah, 'cause she's with Jake?

No, because she's with us.

Hmm.

Why would you let your kid sleep in a house with a bunch of thieves?

Maybe she doesn't know.

She knows.

Not everyone's out to get you.

Okay.

[LAUGHS]

That's funny coming from you.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

I walked into that one.

You like all of that, um, "baby, sweetie, honey" sh*t?

Good, 'cause I'm never gonna do that.

I like you.

That help you relax?

A little.

Yeah, well, good.

'Cause you need to.

I just don't like us being in one place for too long.

You stop moving, you get caught.

Yeah.

[GATE RATTLING OPEN]

JENNIFER: Angela?

Hey.

When'd you get out?

Ah, couple weeks ago.

Didn't they get you with a g*n?

I minded my business, did what they said, and let me out early.

Six years early?

Did you roll on someone?

Oh, my God.

This place looks exactly the same.

[LAUGHS]


We did some crazy sh*t here.

[LAUGHS]

Wait till you see inside.

[LAUGHS]

Where's Smurf?

I don't know.

She took off somewhere.

[LAUGHS]

Didn't you give your first blow job in this kitchen?

- [LAUGHS]

It wasn't my first.

- Mm-hmm.

Smurf let you stay here?

Wasn't up to her.

Pope let me stay.

Oh.

Is he still crazy as hell?

Misunderstood.

He's cool.

What's he been up to?

Same sh*t.

He know what you were in for?

I told him it was a B&E.

I left out the g*n part.

Oh, smart.

Can't imagine Smurf would let there be two b*tches in the house who rob people.

She doesn't want another woman in the house at all.

She doesn't have any pictures of Julia.

Yeah.

They act like she never existed.

SMURF: Nice sh*t, Neal.

Jesus, Smurf.

You can't be here.

Do you know how many cops hang out here?

If anyone sees you Do you think you can drop a piece of information like you did and then just disappear?

No, Neal.

I don't have anything new.

How long we been doing this?

20 years?

Don't I always give you what I've got?

No.

You sure didn't keep up your end of the deal when I was in jail.

Your own kid set you up.

What the hell was I supposed to do about that?

And it sure as sh*t doesn't help that Pearce has a hard-on for you.

This is Pearce?

Your secret admirer.

And if anyone tells him that they saw us talking, I can kiss my pension goodbye.

You think I give a sh*t about your pension?

Someone is talking about my family.

I want a name, Neal.

I will ask around some more, but you gotta go.

I'll come by the house later.

I'm leaving town for a few days.

Make sure you have something for me when I get back.

That's the bullpen.

I'll be in there most of the day letting you know when the acts and the security are moving.

We'll have access to all this?

Yeah, your passes give you access everywhere.

Tour buses will be back here?

Yeah.

There's gonna be lots of people.

We won't be able to wear masks.

Well, everyone's busy.

They'll be distracted.

This is where the sound boards will be.

In place for a quick turnaround.

We'll look like staff.

We'll be leaving in traffic.

If they notice they're gone, we'll be sitting ducks.

Cameras?

No.

Violates the artist non-disclosure agreements.

TACARA: Josh?

Uh, these guys are looking for the house electrician?

Try the arena office.

We have to finish the bags.

Oh, yeah.

Uh, I'm on my way.

Uh, I think it's this So, what do you think?

I don't know, man.

We gotta get out of here fast if things go south.

DERAN: Can't we just take the sound boards off the trucks before they unload them?

It's riskier.

The drivers, they wait out by the trucks.

Yeah, we're closer to an exit by the trucks and we could hit the buses, too.

- It's all in one place.

- Yeah, we'll still be in traffic.

People are coming and going from the festival all day.

Yeah, it took us 40 minutes just to get out of the parking lot when Brenden hit his eye.

We finally had to give up and call an ambulance.

Why didn't you call an ambulance in the first place?

'Cause that sh*t costs 5K.

Figured he'd lost his eye anyway, so why waste the cash?

Could we get an ambulance?

They have backstage access.

No one's gonna question an ambulance leaving the concert.

This place is nice.

You decorate it yourself?

- I did.

- Hmm.

You got all of this from stealing sh*t, huh?

No, baby.

I got all of this from being very smart.

Well, I'd like a place like this for my kid.

I bet you would.

Is that why you charged me double this time?

Home delivery.

Extra.

You're a business woman.

You understand, Smurf.

Bitch, I could get every one of these weapons in Riverside at half the price.

Well, then, drive to Riverside.

It's only a couple of hours from here to there, right?

These Glocks only police can buy.

You running a job?

Hmm?

This is some heavy a*tillery, Smurf.

What are you trying to do, take out a whole town or something?

Serial numbers all wiped?

Yes.

I double-checked.

Why didn't you have your boys come and get these, huh?

It would've been cheaper.

The boys don't need to know everything, do they?

No, they don't.

- Thank you.

- Drive safe, baby.

[DOOR CLOSES]

JAKE: sh*t!

- Son of a bitch!

- [CLATTERING]

God damn it!

What the hell's going on?

That bitch Pam stole our money.

How the hell did she know where the money was?

- I don't know.

- You didn't see her leaving?!

- I was asleep!

- What about the van?

God damn it!

What, you think this is funny?

Yo, I'm back.

I got those, uh, egg rolls you like.

Two orders this time.

So you can have your own.

I'm fine.

We're fine.

Is Adrian here?

Let me check.

What the hell are you doing here?

I thought you wanted me gone.

I was calling you all day.

You didn't answer.

You've been talking to the cops.

Working with them.

Talking about my family.

Talking about me.

You know I didn't tell them anything.

You've been lying to me for months.

How do you expect me to believe anything you're saying right now?

[SIGHS]

I really thought I could make it all go away.

It's not going away.

Pope came by the house.

Just showed up out of nowhere, scared the sh*t out of me.

- Did you tell him?

- He can never know.

Listen to me.

He can never know, okay?
