01x03 - The Line

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Ice...

Cam: You k*lled Avi?

This is Lady Rah's main guy.

Do you know what that means?

Lady Rah: $25 million.

That's what Avi was pulling in, and that's what you're working towards.

Jake: At the docks, you brought up C-117.

Big number sitting out there.

And I'm going to make a run at it.

Everything will be fine, but you cannot tell Pop.

I got it.

Look at those beauties.

Holy sh*t.

[crashing]

Man: Gimme the f*cking diamonds!

[speaking Russian]

You said to make a point.

Well, that he did.

Cam was right about one thing, though.

What's that?

He is a stupid f*cking Jew.

What is this, a f*cking doctor's office?

She dragged us down here.

How long is she going to keep us waiting?

Some of us have lives, you know.

Freddy, shut the f*ck up.

It's like you've got Tourette's.

Lady Rah: Jacob!

How nice to see you... and I see you brought the family.

You mind if I pop in? Thanks.

Please, sit.

They thought they could f*ck me.

They were sadly mistaken.

Let's stop celebrating and split the stones, and we can go our separate ways.

What is your rush?

[silenced g*nsh*t]

[text alert chimes]

You guys are quick on your feet, hmm?

Hijacking that car... smooth.

Only one problem...

You came up empty.

What, did you think it was me?

It is your M.O.

Mm.

Can't take the credit... although the good news is that the diamonds are in my possession.

The bad news is that you gentlemen should choose your business associates more wisely.

f*cking Russian rat...

Lady Rah: Is in the wind.

So there's no point holding a grudge, Cameron.

And when he resurfaces, he'll be sorted.

Right now, the stones are safe, So let's move them on their way, shall we?

I assume that was the intention.

Sell the stones, give me my money, maybe keep a little bit for yourselves... or maybe you were hoping that I would take them in exchange?

Right?

Well, I'll take the stones... with the papers.

So all you have to do is get them certified by the ADCS.

You want those diamonds out of the country as soon as possible, yeah?

Once they're clean, my associate will deliver them to Canada.

I believe distance is best.

You want fake certs for these diamonds?

That's very f*cking expensive.

I'll cover it.

Okay, wait, okay, can we just hold up for a second?

First of all, we just... we've just been through some highly federal sh*t, and now you want us to expose Green and Green in a way that will f*cking bury it.

Am I wrong?

That's not my goal.

I need Green and Green to be my squeaky clean wheel in this machine, and you guys have a spotless reputation.

You should just k*ll me now.

I mean, this is just f*cking ridiculous.

No, Freddy, what's ridiculous is the way that you treat your family.

Oh, jeez.

Cam: So, you need us, but we take 100% of the risk?

Welcome to my world.

[Cam chuckles]

Jake: My uncle's right.

How much is our perfect reputation worth?

And now you want a fee.

The audacity.

Yeah, it seems... logical, yes.

Yes.

We do the heavy lifting...

You wet our beak.

Mm.

Okay.

I'll give you...

10% of this job.

A million even.

Sometimes, we like to be kissed when we're being f*cked.

That's a very big kiss, Cameron.

Mm.

Okay.

Take it, before I change my mind.

See?

Partners.

Only one requirement.

To get the certification, you use my counterfeiter.

I think you'll find that Jonah does excellent work, Freddy.

Freddy: Jake, we don't have to use Jonah.

There are plenty of forgers.

Whatever we need to do, Freddy, you're in this step by step.

I know, I know...

Good work, Jake! You were great.

[car engine starts]

Willow: Are we actually going to start the film?

In a minute.

Just so you know, I could be at the New Beverly with Carly right now at the midnight QT double feature, but I opted for family night.

That does not make us feel guilty.

I'm not going for guilt, just stockpiling good daughter points.

To be redeemed at a later date.

You know it. I'm starting in five.

We don't have too many more of these nights left.

Yeah, when I saw her at the gala...

It was like somebody hit the fast forward button.

Right?

[pops cork]

Speaking of the gala... you get anything sorted out?

Okay...

All right, how about this... you tell me what you want, and I will decipher the rest.

I want to sit down and watch a movie.

She's got something on you.

Yeah.

Something Freddy did, and you're left holding the bag?

It's not that simple, you know?

It's...

Can you fix it?

Eventually.

So... this is a long-term arrangement?

Right now, it's an arrangement that may take some time.

Okay? But we're moving in the right direction.

I promise you this.

There's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Or is that the train heading straight for you?

Willow: You're not teenagers.

But we look so good together, don't we?

I respect your chemistry, but if you make out during the movie, I'm taking an Uber to the New Beverly.

Maybe we should just let her call an Uber now?

I heard that!

[knocking]

Isaac: Housekeeping, ya goddamned mutt.

Pop?

Pop! What are you...? Come on in!

[kisses]

No! Bagel Broker?

Two everything...

Yes!

Bagels, lox, cream cheese, the works.

Cream soda?

You think I'm a goddamned animal?

[chuckles]

I mean, if you want to finish your cocoa balls or whatever the hell you're eating...

You know I don't turn down lox!

Come on. Come on!

The maid leave a mint every night?

Yeah, the classy ones, Pop.

Chocolate on the outside?

Oh, yeah, love those.

They get the big tip for that.

I love motels.

They always remind me of Barbie Aronesti.

You remember Barbie, don't you?

Come on.

Barbie, from Altadena.

No, Pop, I don't...

I don't remember her.

Freddy: Okay, so I was thinking, you know, after we get the certs from Jonah, I want to walk the diamonds through.

No offense, kid, but you're a crap sh*t.

Okay, I'm serious. Jake, let me do this.

Freddy... the ADCS won't grade anything for you.

You're not on the list.

Oh.

See, that's all you had to say.

You didn't have to be rude about it.

So fine, who's going to walk them through? Cam?

I can't.

Had a little bit of a problem with some Algerian stones back in '82.

So it's either you, or your Pop.

No, no. We leave Pop out of this.

Fair enough.

[claps]

All right.

That leaves you.

Right, well... it was always going to be me.

That's what she wants.

Jake...

[knocking]

man: From Lady Rah.

Let's see your hands.

Here are the stones.

[Freddy chuckles]

Nice, huh?

We are in play.

Jonah: Beautiful stones.

Any particular point of origin?

Russia... and we're going to need, uh, eight-hour turn around.

For this many stones, that's a six-figure job.

Name your price.

So, Jonah, the cops have any leads on Avi?

Relax, I'm just making conversation.

Nothing.

"Missing persons."

That's all they'll say.

Carlos has been around a few times.

Nothing concrete, but I know my son.

A father always knows his son.

Well...

I'm very sorry.

He's a-- he was a... he's a good friend.

But not a good person.

150.

Yeah, we can handle that.

It was great to see you, Jonah.

[vomits]

Oh, f*ck me!

Oh, f*ck, what the hell?

Oh, Jesus.

Oh, that was too much.

That crash messed up my stomach.

Well, you need to toughen up.

You're out of sick days, so...

I need a f*cking drink.

Hey, I got an idea.

How about you and me, we take the night off, and we go big?

No... no.

No, no, just listen to me.

I got two words for you.

Dominique Eisendorf.

Are you kidding me? Remember her?

That girl was always up for it.

We'd call her, at, like, 4:00 a.m., wake her up, she'd still come over.

That was a good girl.

She... she lives in Alaska now, so...

We've got to find a new Dominique, then.

I'm sure there's plenty out there for us.

Actually, you know what, Freddy?

What?

This is too important.

I'm going to need you up there with the stones.

No, you're not. f*ck you. No.

No, what you need is a sh*t, and a beer, and some "us time," so get in the f*cking car.

You wanted to step up? This is it.

Avi's father--

I'm serious.

I don't... I don't want to...

You want me just to hang out with Jonah for...

Please, it'll be fine.

He has no f*cking clue.

Just keep your mouth shut.

Go.

You're a d*ck. The f*ck are you going to do?

I'm going to make sure this all doesn't blow up in our f*cking face, you know?

And for the record?

Dominique changed her number last year.

Ha! [laughs]

See?

I knew it!

You dirty bastard!

[retches]

[door opens]

Uh, so, apparently, I'm supposed to keep an eye on you, or keep an eye on the stones, but, uh... forget I'm even here.

I'm just going to hang out, if that's all right.

Just... hang out.

Should I not be sitting here?

That's fine.

Is... this okay?

My ribs, my f*cking back, and I feel like I'd been run over by a f*cking steamroller here.

It's k*lling me.

Come on.

Everything go okay with Jonah?

Yeah... for the most part.

What about Freddy?

I don't know.

He's sitting on Jonah now, so...

Well, I guess he'll be okay.

[laughs]

At least he's still here.

I mean, that tells you something, right?

Yeah, I guess.

Right.

You know, if I could, I'd unravel this f*cking ball.

I know, Cam.

I know.

Let's get this done, huh?

Come here.

I'm with you, kid... all the way to the f*cking end.

I know.

All right, I got a pick-up in Century City.

No, no, you go.

You good?

Yeah. Yeah, but...

Jake, be shrewd, you know?

You need f*cking eyes up your ass with these people.

Yes?

We're on schedule.

I guarantee you delivery. I give you my word.

Uh, sorry to bother you, but I'm just going to use the bathroom.

Jonah: 370.

What's that?

Avi's batting average your senior year at Fairfax.

Oh, yeah. Yeah...

He had, you know, great hand-eye coordination.

Sure.

You were a good catcher, Freddy.

Oh, thanks.

You had a r*fle for an arm-- threw out that kid at second from uni from your goddamned knees.

Ah, you remember that?

That was a good throw.

Nah, I was all right.

I mean, Avi was... he was great.

I mean, he got scouted right out of high school, right?

He could've gone pro.

Six teams.

He f*cked that all up.

Yeah.

Well, I mean... it wasn't really... it was a weird time for everybody, so...

He never did dr*gs until he started hanging around you.

You pulled him down.

A missing person is worse than knowing where he is, Freddy.

A missing person... is a goddamned ghost.

Bathroom's in there.

Yeah, I'm just...

I'm just going to grab a quick cigarette.

[door opens]

Hey.

I was going to swing by.

Give me a call back.

[police siren blares]

[siren blares]

Yeah, I heard you!

What the f*ck, 'Los?

What's up?

You got something to hide beside that piece under your leg?

[chuckles]

Yeah, I'm hiding a permit to carry in the glove box.

You following me?

Relax, Jake.

I just want to talk.

Pick up a phone.

Why don't you get your ass out the car, man?

Serious?

Carlos: Yeah, I'm serious.

Get the f*ck out of the car.

No f*cking with those cigarettes, huh?

Here, keep it.

She's deceiving, isn't it?

What's that?

This city.

The way it shines in the sun, man.

The beauty.

People come from all around the world to find this spot.

Well, if you're looking for star maps, there's a guy selling them right up the street.

I got a description of Avi's k*ller.

That's good.

Is it?

Yeah.

What if I told you that description matches Freddy?

I would tell you that that description probably matches a lot of people.

And how many of them do you think drive a car just like that?

Goddammit, 'Los, it wasn't him.

You are not listening to me, man.

This, right here, right now, this is your moment of grace.

Do you understand?

You and me. No one else listening.

Good... that's good...

I don't have anything else to say.

Jesus Christ, man. You know what?

Jonah Kreshman thinks you do, and I am that close.

I'm going to catch Avi's k*ller, Jake.

I hope you do.

No, you don't.

'Los...

sh*t...

Freddy: I'm not answering my phone, so I must be doing something better than talking to you. Leave a message.

[phone ringing]

Green and Green Diamond Company, this is Willow.

I'm sorry, Jake isn't here right now.

Can I take a message?

Uh-huh. That's... Crush-men?

Kresh-men?

Punim, I'll take that call.

Jonah, my old friend.

To what do I owe this pleasure?

Isaac, how are you?

I heard you were in the hospital.

Isaac, over phone: A dizzy spell.

[clears throat]

What can I do for you, my friend?

Jonah: I was actually calling for Jake.

Jake's not here.

He should be back shortly.

Anything I can help you with?

I have the certificates he needed.

Freddy left before they were done.

He can pick them up any time, along with the merchandise.

g*dd*mn kids... forget to tell me anything.

Tell you what.

I'll come by and pick them up myself.

I'll put the coffee on, friend.

Nice place for a party, you f*cking weirdos.

Hey!

You do know I make house calls, right?

That's cute.

I got $147, but I want $200 worth.

You owe me. Let's go.

Heard you been all right a minute, bro.

What?

Oh, really?

You want to be a therapist or something?

You want to be my f*cking sponsor?

f*ck you. Give me the f*cking dr*gs.

Don't be a d*ck. Jesus.

Really?

f*ck you.

He should be done by now, Freddy.

Call me back.

Will?

Where is he?

He went back there a while ago.

Did you check the bathroom?

Yeah, I checked the bathroom.

Is everything okay?

It's fine. Get back to work.

Thanks.

[phone chimes]

Yeah?

Please tell me my Pop is with you.

Cam: He's at the store.

No, he's not, and he's not answering his cell, and neither is Freddy.

I don't even know if he's still at Jonah's.

Okay, I'll call 'round to his home.

f*ck...

Okay.

You can't fool me.

You would have sent Jake if it wasn't for the coffee.

Allow an old man his few pleasures.

[phone vibrates]

If you need to take that...

No.

Jonah, can I see the certs?

Jake doesn't tell me anything anymore.

I hope I didn't cause any tsuris...

No, no. Nothing like that.

They just worry about me, think I'm too old.

They may be right.

We still got a lot left in the t*nk.

Maybe.

Your work is extraordinary as usual, old man.

You have to keep faith.

I lost that with Avi a long time ago... but he's my boy... and I miss him.

We mold our children in our own image, whether we realize it or not.

Then we're appalled at what we see.

Got to keep moving forward.

Always.

Dosvedanya.

Jake: When did you see him last?

I don't know. Is he okay?

Will, he's fine.

You've got to give me something.

Okay, what was he doing?

Isaac's voice mail: Leave a message...

He was on the floor, and then...

Oh, sh*t, yeah!

Someone called, and he took the phone back to his office.

What was the name?

Some guy... Joe...

Jonah?

He asked for you first.

All right. Thank you.

[line ringing]

Jonah, on phone: Kreshman.

Hey, it's Jake.

Any chance you spoke to my father today?

Jonah: Of course. We had some coffee, kibitzed...

Is he still there?

He left a few minutes ago.

He came by and picked up the certificates and the stones.

Where's Freddy?

Jonah: Mashugana... walked out an hour ago.

Family's important.

You've got to always know where they're at, huh?

Is Papa okay?

He's fine. I'm going to go get him.

You good?

Yup.

Pop went to Jonah's.

Could you hold that, please?

And I don't know where the f*ck Freddy is.

You think he worked it out while he was there?

What do you think, Cam?

Well, I think we've got to get to the ADCS before he f*cking does.

I'll call you from there, but you're going to have to stall when you get to Rah's.

What about Freddy?

My Pop comes first.

[snorting]

[snorts]

Aw, f*ck, yeah!

Isaac's voice mail: Okay, okay.

Leave a message.

You better be in the lobby, Pop.

Damn it. f*ck.

Cameron... and without the usual entourage.

What a surprise.

And I was under the impression the Greens were one big, happy family.

So my presence isn't enough for you?

You're breaking my f*cking heart here.

I'm sure it takes more than that.

Yeah.

But perhaps the question is not what are you doing here, in the lion's den, alone, as it were... but where are my f*cking certs?

You know the ADCS is a tedious procedure, and it's way the f*ck out there in Carlsbad.

Don't worry.

Jake will be back soon with the merchandise.

Mm-hmm.

Presuming I take you at your word.

Well, why wouldn't you?

You know it's good.

Until it's not.

Good afternoon.

I need certification on my stones.

Green and Green accounts.

Of course, sir. Your DPC certificates?

This was issued recently.

Yes.

Fingers on the scanner, please?

Pop!

What the hell are you doing here?

Saving your ass, is what.

You don't know what you're doing.

Let me just take it from here, please.

Go get in the car.

No.

You're not doing this.

The hell I'm not.

Dammit.

Mr. Green, you're cleared to go back.

Is there a problem?

No, no. It's not a problem.

I just couldn't find my parking spot.

I'm going to go with my father.

That's not necessary.

Yes, it is.

He puts on a show, but he would give me hell for it later if I didn't.

Fingers on the scanner.

[phone rings]

[snorts]

f*ck...

Hey!

Yeah.

'Kay, right now?

Yeah, sure, it's fine.

Okay, yeah, Cam, sorry about, uh, you know, that I had to bail on the Jonah...

Hello?

Oh, f*ck...

[buzzer sounds]

Please.

Thank you.

Hmm.

There a problem?

Excuse me for a moment.

Goddammit, Pop. What were you thinking?

You're doing this for her... so I'm doing this for you.

Lady Rah: Jacob is known for his punctuality.

Well, if Jake says he's on his way, then he's on his way.

Hmm.

Ah, this is Femi, my associate.

Oh.

Associate, huh?

Any particular reason why he's eye-f*cking me?

[laughs]

You are all fire, Cameron.

I like that.

Well, I'm a lovable guy.

That can always be changed.

Not by you.

Lady Rah: Femi!

Femi is our specialist.

He's here to handle the transportation.

Let me get you some water, Pop.

It's a f*cking sweat box in here.

They got no A.C.?

What the hell's going on?

There appears to be a discrepancy with the serial numbers on your certificates.

I have to ask you to come with me.

Now, wait just a minute.

Green and Green has certified with this branch for over 50 years... not one problem.

Don't touch my father.

It's okay, Jake.

Please.

Where are you taking him?

How are you, Isaac?

I heard you were in the hospital briefly.

Very good. I'm fine, Andy.

Isaac, what's the provenance of your diamonds?

A significant portion of our inventory comes from Russia.

These stones are no different.

Unfortunately, they are.

Why is that?

The serial numbers on your certificates don't match Russia, Isaac.

Says six instead of a nine.

Typo.

Are you sh1tting me, Andy?

My family has been in this business years before you b*at your way out of your father's balls.

This branch wasn't sh*t until my father graced the walls with his diamonds.

There are three file cabinets of paperwork for all the stones I have personally passed through here over the years.

I am an honest man... an honorable man, Andy.

Can I see the certs, please?

One wrong number, and maybe it's clerical, but it recurs throughout the certs.

Oh, f*ck...

Freddy!

May I?

Come and join the party.

Come here, kid.

Yeah.

Jake's on his way.

I just thought, uh, you know, you should be here.

Okay, great.

Yeah.

Would you like a drink, Freddy?

Yes.

That'd be amazing.

Have a drink.

That'd be perfect, thanks.

Rum, huh? Madam?

Hey, come on, sit down.

Oh, okay.

How are ya, kid?

Yeah, I'm great, yeah. How you doing?

Gentlemen... to a profitable partnership.

[glasses clinking]

Yeah.

Inspector!

Jake.

Please let me go in with him.

Unfortunately, you can't.

All right.

All right, but you should know that... you know, since the stroke, his health has gotten a lot worse.

Keys in the fridge, calls me my brother's name... if he can remember my name at all.

On his way here, he thought he was on his way to Zimmerman's.

Well, they've been out of business for years.

Yeah, that's how bad it's gotten.

Look, if your father suffers from dementia, maybe...

The company is all he has left.

I'm begging you... just let me take him home.

Let him keep his dignity.

Please.

Given Green and Green's impeccable record, I am sure this is a clerical mistake.

I see no reason to prolong this process any further.

But understand this.

I will not certify these stones today.

I respect you.

I respect Green and Green.

So, Isaac...

I suggest you make this your last visit.

That piece of sh*t Jonah set us up.

He tried to get you busted!

Who gives a sh*t, Pop?

All that matters is you got out of there.

Bullshit.

The stones didn't cert, so what are you going to do now?

Whatever Lady Rah has you doing, there's always an alternative.

No, not this time.

We're seeing this to the end.

Anything short would cr*pple the company.

I understand that you're doing what you have to do, but this... this isn't who you are, kiddo.

These may have been born in the dirt, but that doesn't mean you have to live in it.

I love you, Jake.

Love you, too, Pop.

I'll follow you.

No, Pop, please.

I'll follow you.

Just so you know...

I'd give it all up for you boys.

I wouldn't let you, though.

You want to tell this f*ck to step back a few?

Femi, step.

I'll have to report back that you could not deliver.

Needless to say, they will be... disappointed.

Yeah.

Where are you?

They're here.

Finally.

Jake?

Why'd you bring Pop here?

Jonah called the shop when Freddy bailed.

These are my boys.

Yeah, I know.

Lady Rah: Yeah, enough of the family reunion.

Jacob?

Shall we?

[suitcase slams down]

Did not go well.

We didn't get them certified, and the ADCS knows they're not legit.

I think we both know why Jonah's certs got pinned.

Your guy f*cked us.

But we got out with the stones.

So this is what?

A f*cking consolation?

You were supposed to bring the papers, and you failed.

Miss Rah, if I may, please, please... you need the stones out of the country, right?

In Canada?

Let me drive them over.

I can do that.

I can take them over the border for you.

Freddy, no.

Lady Rah: There's no time to drive them, Freddy.

They need to be flown.

Okay, I'll do that. No, I can do that.

No...

I've smuggled a lot more than that in my time.

This is no problem. Please.

Well, it looks like we have a Plan B.

If he wants to do this, we've got to get the mule ready.

What the f*ck? A mule?

I'll smuggle them another f*cking way.

Without the certs, I'm not risking the stones getting flagged.

Jake: That is...

Jake! Jake.

Listen. Listen to me.

I'm sick of dragging this family through the sh*t.

I want to be the one that pulls us out for once.

Jesus Christ...

Please.

Please.

Goddammit.

Hey, Pop.

It's going to be okay, all right?

Nothing about this is okay We have to move right now.

All right.

One bag every two minutes, to make sure it settles.

Cam: Relax.

I got this.

Femi: Very well.

[gasping]

Give him a f*cking drink!

The water will only fill his stomach.

Lady Rah: When he reaches Vancouver, he'll be met by a representative who'll take him to a hotel.

The first thing he has to do is get an ultrasound to make sure that those diamonds are still inside.

Cam: Jake!

He can't do it. Look at him.

Femi: Easy, easy...

I got it. It's no big deal.

Lady Rah: Well, it's crucial that Freddy remain calm throughout the transportation.

Cam: He ain't a great passenger.

He's going to get f*cking flagged.

[Freddy retches]

I'm going to go with him.

Freddy: It's okay.

Think about it.

Didn't you say we do things like this for family?

[Freddy retches]

I'm going.

[Freddy retches]

Fine.

I'm going to find Isaac.

[retches]

So, the white knight rises again.

Hmm.
