They took Lena.

Who took her?

DCFS.

We'll get her back.

I-I want to set up a few holding companies.

[ Car lock beeps ]

You know, a couple layers of papers, make it tough to track.

I'm gonna have to report this back to Smurf.

No, you won't.

Why not?

Because you're smarter than that.

You sicko bitch!

You're done!

[ g*nshots ]

Aah!

I hit Marco, man.

Where's Pope?

Smurf: What happened to Marco was unfortunate.

Where's my son, Lucy?

You want Pope?

Tell me you had Baz k*lled.

I had Baz k*lled.





Pope: I know you k*lled Baz.

Mix it in a drink.

Doesn't taste like anything.

Knocks 'em out, so make sure you say your goodbyes first.

When they're unconscious, give 'em the helium.

Use the exit bag.

Make sure you pull this tight to seal it, all right?

No pain, right?

I don't want her to suffer.

This is how we did it with my uncle.

He was so sick by the end he was begging.

It's a good way to go.

Dignified.

You're giving your mother a beautiful gift.

How long does she have?





Not sure.

Hey.

Hang in there, huh?

Thanks.

You're welcome.

[ Juicer whirring in distance ]

[ Whirring continues ]

Smurf: Good morning, my baby.

Let me get you a plate.

It might take me a while to fence all that jewelry, but, uh, that's $10,000.

Just so you know I'm keeping my word.

I appreciate that, Smurf.

Thank you.

Have you seen Pope?

Not since you brought him back from Mexico.

Well...

if you happen to see him or talk to him, tell him I'm having a party today.

Just neighbors and friends.

A party?

This family needs a little fun, huh?

I'm down with some fun.

Adrian: Hey.

Hey.

Did you get any sleep?

Barely.

Want coffee?

Yeah, thanks.

You still a little sore?

[ Coffee pouring ]

Yeah.

Next time Smurf gives me a call, remind me to take a sledgehammer to the phone.

She know you're upset?

Yeah, she does.

She's been trying to call me the past three days.

Hey.

My family sucks, too.

Your dad's kind of a d*ck about you being gay.

But my mom started a sh**t with my dead brother's girlfriend, so...

It's not a contest.

Yeah, well, if it was, I'd win.

























[ Sighs ]

Great.

Well, we'll be here.

You can deliver the food any time before 2:00.

Thank you.

What's going on?

I'm having a party.

Let the neighborhood know I'm out.

Great.

You better be here by 3:00.

Sure.

You hungry, baby?

Mm-hmm.

Good.

[ Drawer opens, closes ]

What's this for?

That's your cut.

And when I fence the rest of the jewelry, you will get an equal share.

I'm not...

I'm not sure the boys are gonna be happy about that.

That's Baz's share.

You're Baz's son.

The money belongs to you.

Have you seen Pope lately?

No.

Not in a couple of days.

Why?

No reason.

Just be a little careful.

Keep an eye out.

You know how he gets when he's anxious.

Okay.

I'm gonna take a shower.

I'll eat after.

Oh, J.

Um, I got a Quicken reminder to pay the property tax on the land in Carlsbad, but I couldn't find the check from the bill.

Did you pay that already?

I paid everything that came in.

Hmm.

Did you ask Morgan?

I'm asking you.

I left you in charge.

Well, she wanted me to sign some things a couple of weeks ago.

Maybe the check was in there.

You signed some things?

Yeah.

She said they were coming from you.

Should I not have?

Go take your shower.

I'll handle it.

Okay.









[ Water running ]





Where is Lena's stuff?

I left you messages.

Lena's coming home today.

[ Water shuts off ]

What?

Mm-hmm.

I pulled a few strings.

She'll be here later this afternoon.

[ Man speaking Spanish over radio ]









I was just in time.

That foster family was looking to adopt.

What is all this?

I had to sign an affidavit agreeing to be the primary guardian.

You're not even supposed to be alone in a room with her.

That's bullshit.

I know, baby, but they're never gonna let you have her, not with your record.

Aggravated battery, as*ault with a deadly w*apon, armed robbery...

You just got out of jail.

I wasn't convicted.

I wasn't even indicted.

I'll start the adoption proceedings right away.

Lena will live here, you move back in.

You'll be with her every day.

I just want us to be a family again.





Hey.

Where you been?

Thought maybe you split.

Are you busy?

No.

What's this?

Get dressed.

We're gonna be late.

Janine.

How did you get in?

Come have a glass of wine with me.

It's 10:00 a.m.

And I just spent three months in jail.

Well, I'm gonna stick to water.

I should hydrate.

Running, swimming.

I'm glad my money affords you so much time for fitness.

Mm.

How's home?

I didn't think it would be this hard.

Well, the boys will fall in line.

Do you think I'm asking too much?

Loyalty, trust.

No.

How much did you sell it for?

What?

The land I bought in Carlsbad in '08.

That was your idea.

I hope you got a good price.

I've known you for 20 years.

Do you think I'm stupid enough to steal from you?

You thought I was never getting out.

I think you saw an opportunity and you took it.

Where is this coming from?

I went by the county clerk's office.

Private sale to a holding company.

This is impossible.

Now, the only question is, what else have you been skimming?

You put a teenager in charge.

Do you think J maybe made a mistake?

I put J in charge because he's a smart kid who doesn't know a damn thing about real estate.

Well, uh, he came to me last week and he was asking me about buying properties and setting up holding companies, and I told him that if he had any questions, he should go to you.

Why didn't you come to me last week?

I have been nothing but a friend to you.

I don't have friends.

Janine...

there's some kind of mistake.

I'm gonna look into it, and I'm gonna take care of it.

I'm gonna make it right.













[ Engine starts ]

[ Bea Miller's "To the Grave" plays ]

You clean up good.

You measure me when I was asleep?

I have a good eye.

Get in.

Nice car.

Yours?

I borrowed it.

Hmm.





[ Engine revs ]



Ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh ♪

Hey.

Hey.

Here's the key.

It's gassed up, ready to go.

Okay.

You sounded freaked out over the phone.

What's up?

Has Pete told you anything about Morgan Wilson?

Mnh-mnh.

No.

Who is she?

She's, uh...

She's Smurf's lawyer.

Smurf thinks she's skimming.

Is she?

And she left you in charge.

Is that blowing back on you now?

I don't know.

She's cutting me out.

She's not telling me anything.

Yeah, well, people like that don't trust anybody.

You know, you could just split with some money and start over, right?

What's stopping you from doing that?

Thanks for this.

Yeah.

Still waiting on that apartment.

I'll call you later.









[ Knock on door ]





[ Knocking continues ]

Pope: Jesus.

Jesus.

Come on.

What the hell's wrong with you?

Sorry, man.

Here.

It's for broken ribs.

Thought you might want it.

Thanks.

Are you good on pain, man?

I got some Percs from Craig.

I'm fine.

Okay.

[ Sighs ]

I haven't seen you since Mexico.

Lena's coming home today.

Really?

That's good.

Yeah.

Smurf got her out.

She's gonna...

adopt her.

Good.

It's not good.

How you doing, man?

Are you getting any sleep?

I'm fine.

I think you need something to keep yourself busy in between jobs.

Why?

Because, man, you get weird when you don't have anything to do.

Come on.

You're good with cars.

Maybe you get back in the shop, just a little side hustle or something.

Or you come and, you know...

work a couple nights at the bar a week.

I'm good.

Thanks, though.

It keeps me sane.

You know, having something that's mine.

It's only yours because Smurf lets you have it.

I paid for it, okay?

My name's on the lease.

And the second she decides she doesn't like it, she's gonna find a way to take it from you.

I'm just as angry as you are about what went down, man...

[ Clears throat ]

.. but, I mean, what...

what are we gonna do, man?

What, are...

are we gonna k*ll her?

















You know these people?

Just follow my lead.

Oh, excuse me.

Ana.

You made it.

[ Australian accent ]

How are you?

Good to see you.

This is Danny.

Danny!

My man.

Hey.

It is good to meet you.

Ana raves about you.

Oh, yeah.

Is that right?

I hear you've been doing work up in Palo Alto.

Anyone I would know?

Danny doesn't kiss and tell.

All right, fair enough.

I didn't want to get jealous anyway.

Are you all packed and ready for your big trip?

Well, just about.

It's a lot easier now knowing you'll be taking care of the home front.

Itinerary's all set, then?

Yeah, you know, we got a week in Milan, two in Paris for Sophie, but then Cloudbreak, Dungeons, and J-Bay for this guy.

Yeah, you surfing?

[ Scoffs ]

Bro, where do you think this comes from?

You hit Supertubes or no?

Yeah, well, we try to get out there maybe once a year, but...

You guys come on outside.

The chef has put together these little crab cake things.

They'll blow your d*ck right off.

Oh.

Yeah.

[ Chuckling ]

Wow.

When do you go?

Tuesday.

You talk to Farley?

We all good?

Yeah.

Oh, uh, hold up.

This is way too heavy, man.

Just pack it in the bag with the rest of them.

They don't know what your boards weigh.

Relax.

[ Sighs ]

You walk through the airport looking like that, you're gonna end up in a back room.

Try smiling.

You just made a shitload of cash.

Thanks.





[ Engine starts ]





Baby, she'll be here in a minute.

Who are all the people outside?

We're having a welcome-home party.

I just hired some people to help.

Big bounce house gets here at 2:00.

You know, she...

she likes her room at home.

I had to buy her an entire new wardrobe.

We can donate the things that are still at Baz's.

Kids grow out of clothes so fast.

You have to do this every couple of months.

I've been doing fine with her.

Have you, Andrew?





She was taken from you.

Now, we can't let that happen again, ever.

Come with me.

I have something for you.









There's a lot more when I fence the rest of the jewelry.

I don't want it.

It's yours.

No.









I know you miss your brother, baby.

So do I.

[ Scoffs ]

Baz always claimed he was...

looking out for you.

I never bought it.

I think he wanted you weak.

Made him feel strong.

You boys were very competitive.

He hated how much I loved you.

Are you done?

You're the man I always knew you could be.





[ Doorbell rings ]

That's her.









Hey.









Natalie: The kitchen's completely redone.

Brand-new dishwasher.

Fridge, farm sink, and you're right off the ocean.

You know, I think $1.4 million's a little steep for a two bedroom.

You could Airbnb when you're away.

$350 a night, $400 in the summer.

Offset the cost of your mortgage.

Might even turn a profit.

Yeah.

Then the L.A.

douchebags can come down and clog the lineup.

That'd be a great idea.

You're not from L.A.?

No.

I'm from here.

Yo.

Uh, there's a shower.

Natalie: Why don't I give you some time to look around, then you can meet me outside?

Thanks.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Door opens, closes ]

I think this place has too much light.

That's not a thing.

I can't believe she thought I was from L.A.

It's a compliment.

How is that a compliment?

[ Chuckles ]

Okay.

You can always keep armpit showering out of the sink at your bar.

Come here.

Mm-hmm.

Really good.

Go change and I'll get you a grilled cheese.

Would you like one?





She hates that fancy new school.

No, she doesn't.

They suspended her.

You didn't tell me that.

It's the best school in the county.

I don't know what kind of people suspend a child who lost both her parents.

She's a very smart girl.

I could always home school her like I did you.





I have to go out for a bit.

Can you watch her?

I've been watching her.

Of course you have.

You can make a grilled cheese, can't you?





[ Door closes ]









Everything's pink.

You don't like pink?





Grab your backpack.

We're going somewhere.





















J: Get in.

What?

Get in or I'll run you over.





Where are we going?!

Josh!

Is Uncle Pope gonna be waiting at the docks?

Call Smurf!

Let me talk to her.

We can work this out.

Where are we going?!

She's playing you, J!









Ah, let's see.

You, big guy, will be handling recessed lighting in the kitchen and the living room.

I want a whole new system upstairs in the bedrooms.

Oh, and spotlights on the artwork on the first and the second floor, but enough about that.

Come here for a second.

[ Chuckles ]

All right.

What do you think?

I just bought it, so...

I...

I mean, is it too big for the space?

No, no.

It's perfect.

Yeah, yeah, it's...

it's cool.

I love these saturated colors.

The brush strokes, I mean, they...

they give it so much texture.

I love the tension in the piece.

It's, uh, suspenseful.

Suspenseful.

The colors don't bleed.

They're in opposition to one another, almost like they're fighting for space on the canvas.

[ Chuckles ]

What do you think, Danny?

Uh...

Oh, Danny.

Danny does not love modern art, but, uh, don't hold that against him.

Oh, yeah?

Who's your guy?

Rembrandt, right?

He loves those Dutch masters.

That's right, yeah.

So, Danny, you're not an Aussie.

Where are you originally from?

Oh, North Shore.

He grew up on the North Shore.

Right?

That's right, yeah.

Right on.

So you surf?

Since before I could walk.

I'll have to get you some swag, then.

Hmm.

You a fan of my surf line?

Of course.

Who isn't?

Hey, good answer, buddy.

Give me just a minute.

I'll go down and show him something from our new collection.

You're an extra large, right?

You got me.

Yeah, buddy.

That's so nice.


[ Mansionair's "Violet City" plays in background ]

Rembrandt?

You're doing great.

Collin loves you.

Collin Francis from, uh, SurfGlo, right?

Yeah, you know him?

Dude makes $100 hemp necklaces for kooks.

Surprised he's not wearing a rash guard right now.

Well, he's worth $500 million.

Well, he's still a douche.

And you know it's a bitch to fence all this artwork, right?

Feds are all over it.

You got to find a private buyer.

It takes forever.

Who said anything about stealing art?

[ Sighs ]

I took Nina Bear from Grandma Smurf's, but if there's anything you want out of your closet, you should take it now.

Why are we running away?

We're not.

We're just...

We're just taking a trip.

Lena: Where are we gonna live?

Someplace great.

Where would I go to school?

We'll figure it out when we get there.

Me and Bella had bunk beds and a trampoline.

Bella?

The foster family.

You liked them, huh?

We were gonna be sisters.

You have a family.

I'm your family.

But I make you sad.

What are you talking about?

I'm not sad.

You're always sad.





[ Sighs ]





[ Car door opens ]

Don't you have employees for that?

What do you want?

Word is bond, son.

Word is bond.

Mm.

How long are you gonna keep punishing me, Deran?

Maybe till you stop dragging me into all your bullshit.

I'm worried about Pope.

I'm thinking Lucy got into his head down in Mexico.

He isn't sleeping.

You heard anything from him?

He's got that look he gets, that...

that somewhere-else look.

He hasn't spoken to me in...

long time.

Long time.

What do you want me to do about it?

Pope needs his family around him now.

I'm having a little welcome-home party for Lena in about an hour at the house.

No big deal.

I hope you stop by.









[ Engine shuts off ]









Smurf doesn't know that we're here, does she?

Are you framing me, J?

You need me.

I can help you cover your tracks.

How many steps did you take to establish the holding company?

One?

Smurf's got a lot of friends in this town.

Not gonna take her long to figure out what happened.

What will she do to you then?





It's a 10-mile swim to shore.

Get up.

You want to be able to use your hands.

Get up!

No!

Stand up!

Collin: And while we're away, I expect all you degenerates to buy enough of the new collection to keep our stock price up.

I'll be sure to post all of the pictures on Instagram of Sophie in a shark cage.

Um, definitely not.

She's more adventurous than she looks.

As I was saying, guys, here's to SurfGlo, huh?

Where are we going?

You'll see.

From this day forward, for better, for worse...



So, uh...

what's with the accent?

You like it?

Maybe.

You ever been there?

Australia?

No.

Is it nice?

Wouldn't know.

What is wrong with rich people?

[ Sighs ]

Money's a drug.

You run out of things to buy, you start collecting sh1t.

How'd you know all the stuff about art?

My dad was into it.

The van hippie, your dad?

He knew about all this art?

We had a painting when I was growing up.

It was, um, this little sailboat on a stormy sea.

It was the only seascape Rembrandt ever painted.

Was stolen from a museum in Boston in 1990.

The van hippie was an art thief?

It was worth millions, but he never sold it.

Loved it too much to let it go.

So where is it now?

I don't know.

Wherever he is, I guess.

Mm.

So, how much is all this worth?

300, 400 grand.

Maybe more.

It's a better target than the art.

Could fence this.

Smurf has you thinking small.

Oh, yeah?

Is that what you think?

You don't need a g*n.

You don't need to break a window.

You just need someone who trusts you to open the door.





Where are you, baby?

The party started an hour ago.

People are here looking for Lena.

Call me back.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

Thank you.

I'm gonna go talk to her.

Okay.

Bella, can I talk to Lena for a second?

Thanks.

[ Clears throat ]

They seem nice.

Mm-hmm.





When I was your age, I'd get angry all the time...

you know?

Kids thought it was funny, so they'd steal my things and push me around.

I was kind of small.

[ Sighs ]

So I'd get angry and...

and hit somebody.

Teachers would get mad.

You know, they never saw what the other kids did.





Everybody thought I was...

terrible, even Smurf.

[ Sniffles ]

I guess maybe I was pretty awful.









The only person that was nice to me was my sister.





Your dad was the second.

[ Sighs ]





And then your mom.

I promised them I was gonna take care of you and I'm gonna do that, okay?









[ Sighs ]

Can I have a hug?

[ Sniffles ]





What is this place?

I bought it.

You can stay here if you'd like.

Damn, daddy!

Okay.

I mean, I would've just taken some $100-a-month sh*thole, but...

[ Chuckles ]

Are you gonna stay here, too?

No, not yet.

You make that much money off your last job?

Mm.

Come on.

Where's it from?

What happened to your face?

Okay.

So, is this all just to get me to keep an eye out on Pete?

'Cause I'm not a hooker.

No.

No, I just...

I-I just need someone outside the family I can trust right now.

You trust me?

You're my best option.
