[bunniefuu]

ALTON (OVER RADIO): Irene
Abe was m*rder*d by the CIA.

- I'm about to drop one on you.
- (MUFFLED GROAN)

ALTON: He goes by the alias

Reed Thompson.

I even know his real name,

and I got pictures,

and I'm about to put
that out in the public

- so the world can see.
- TEDDY: He is threatening

to release my real name!

HAVEMEYER: You're out,
and not just from the op.

This is the end of
your career in the CIA.

TEDDY (WHISPERING):
Always have an exit plan.

Watch your back

'cause they don't care about you.

I really thought this was
the beginning of something.

HAVEMEYER: Just wanted to let you know,

I'm still vetting the possibles,

but I should have someone here
to replace teddy by next week.

I'd like to increase the buy.

keys per week.

You're making
your country, and

your countrymen, very happy.

Don't get too happy just yet.

Hello? Morning.

LADWP. You're, uh, Grady Williamson?

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just, uh, just one second.

Justin. .

% of how I spend my time now

is being in real estate with you.

Grady's on our side,

legit business with us.

Got to make it count.

VERONIQUE: I need
you to swear to me that

until the day comes you can
walk away, you'll do everything

you have to do to make sure our baby,

this family,

is safe and protected.

- Just behind that...
- (g*nsh*t)

I'm gonna do whatever it takes.

(SILVERWARE CLINKING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

So, the numbers are
gonna be in by Thursday.

We'll have a budget to you
by next week at the earliest.

- Hey, I'm gonna use the bathroom.
- Okay.

(HAVEMEYER SIGHS)

TEDDY: Yeah, you know, I've just been

taking care of a few things I let slide

over the last few years.
Traveling. That sort of thing.

Resting, I hope.

TEDDY: Yeah. There's nothing like

some real r&r to get your
head straightened out.

It's funny,

I can't picture you

at a vacation resort.

TEDDY: You were right.

I probably had been
in a little too long.

Needed a breather.

I probably should've taken
your advice sooner, but...

So, now, here we are.

Sitting in a restaurant
you followed me to.

So, the thing is, I've been talking

to some of my old contacts, you know?

Trying to figure out what comes next,

including a few in Tehran.

That supposed to mean something to me?

I know what's going on over there,

and I know it's not going well.

I'm sorry, I don't know
what we're talking about.

Great. Um, in that case,

maybe just...

Tell your boss that you have...

A possible asset

who knows about the
seven American hostages,

who also happens to have spent

three years in Tehran.

Okay, what if I did know what

you were referring to?

What exactly are you suggesting?

I'm suggesting

that I know the region,

I'm officially out of the
agency, and I might be

of great value to you.

It's a club soda.

(DRINK POURING)

Let's say we could use
someone like yourself

in a limited capacity,
is being back on mission

really the best use of your time?

- As opposed to what?
- I was thinking about

Julia and Paul. You
know, your wife and kid?

TEDDY: Yeah, they're fine. Thanks.

Country needs me now.

Anyway...

I'm gonna be at the intercontinental

for the next few days,

just in case you want to talk.

It was really good to see you.

Same to you.

♪ ♪

AVI: Look, just admit
it can't be worth it.

This is a torch, and I can
use this torch if you want.

- TEDDY: Avi.
- And I cannot.

- (SHOUTING IN GERMAN)
- Shut the f*ck up!

Will you?

I told you, the Iranian

revolutionary guard can't be trusted.

- They've confiscated them all.
- Who the hell is that?

Possible n*zi, never mind that.

I paid the guards off, and they

- f*cked us just the same.
- You're saying that you

bribed the revolutionary guard,
and they're still screwing us?

- A substantial bribe.
- And the hostages?

The Iranians say

that Hezbollah

- kept changing the terms.
- Oh, my god.

These f*cking people.

You can't trust them. I
mean, they're all playing us.

You're telling me.

Hey, what about my, uh, my commission?

All right. I'll handle the Iranians.

- Get rid of the n*zi.
- It's a possible n*zi.

If he's innocent, he walks away.

What the hell else am I supposed to do

stuck in the land of
my people's genocide?

You don't go to Paris and
not get a croissant, right?

- (SPEAKING GERMAN)
- I am back, mein kommandant.

Tell me, do you remember
the name of your wife today?

Now, in this minute.

(CONTINUES IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

TEDDY: Hezbollah and Iran

are both cheating us.

Everybody's making money here,
except for the U.S.

Still, you got no
hostages being released.

Some of the m*ssile profits
are going to the contras.

Yeah, a few million,

which is not making
a dent, let me tell you.

Bottom line is

you got to get out
of this mess with Iran.

We have directives from higher up.

North won't listen to anyone.

He's pushing forward no matter what.

Yeah, but on what time line?
That's what I'm saying.

'cause the Central American countries,
they are

turning against us.

The sandinistas are winning the pr w*r,

and soon they're gonna be winning

- the actual w*r, too.
- I don't think it's as dire

- as you're making it sound.
- Really? Every contact

I have, every single one,
tells me that the flow of arms

to Nicaragua has slowed.

What is happening in Los Angeles?

I see what you're doing.

What?

You get yourself back in my good graces,

prove you're on your
game, sober and fit,

and then-then, when
something goes wrong in L.A.,

what choice do I possibly have, right?

You're saying there's
something wrong in L.A.

You are f*cking incredible.

Who else knows this operation
as well as I do? Nobody.

Right? So, if there are problems,

I should be able to identify
them pretty quickly.

That's all I'm saying.

After everything that happened,

you'd really go back?

Yes, absolutely.

Look, it's been over a year.

There have been no follow-up articles,

there have been no reporters
sniffing around, nothing.

Couple of politicians
were asking questions.

Yeah, a couple of PR-hungry,
rookie congressmen

who were desperate to get
their name in the headlines,

and you know what?

Everybody thinks that
they're conspiracy nuts.

Just...

Let me go back.

At least see if I can figure
out what's gone wrong.

Oh, yeah. They say it's the only way

(CHUCKLES) Looks like I
should've been here yesterday.

Must've been a hell of a party.

Yeah.

Morning.

Population of homeless living on the

and shows no signs of improvement.

NEWSMAN : We will continue
to monitor any developments

in this story and pass them on.
The L.A. City council today...

GRADY: Jesus Christ.

That is a serious airplane.

Should've seen the cessna
dragonfly I flew over Laos.

- Thing handled like a...
- FRANKLIN AND GRADY: ' Chevy.

I told you that already? Well,

you'll have to forgive me.

Cocaine has not been good for my memory.

- What's up?
- Got a lot on my mind.

Heavy is the head.

Uh-huh.

Can we talk the price break?

Well, we can if that makes you happy.

It will if I get the right answer.

I can give you your price break

on one condition.

- You want my plane?
- Yup.

I'm kidding, huh?

- How about a joy ride?
- That's it?

That's it.

- Done.
- Now we're talking.

Air traffic controller:
November-two-niner,

you are cleared for takeoff on runway .

- Landing gear. Lights.
- FRANKLIN: Up.

- FRANKLIN: Off.
- GRADY: Flaps.

f*cking plenty. Get ready for this.

(GRADY YELLING EXCITEDLY)

(BOTH LAUGHING)

GRADY: Oh, this thing
f*cking moves, huh?

- FRANKLIN: Uh-huh.
- (GRADY LAUGHING)

GRADY: Oh, there it is.

There's that smile.

Hey, I worry about you, you know?

Gonna give yourself an ulcer someday.

- (LAUGHS) I'm years old.
- GRADY: Yeah,

my point exactly.

Look, the business will work itself out.

Yeah, it will,

long as I make it.

GRADY: So how's everything else?

How's the lady?

She's good, real good.

Getting serious.

Think she's a keeper?

- I do.
- That's good.

I've had four good women in my life,

all ex-wives,

all keepers,

until they weren't.

Four? Damn. I didn't know that.

Any kids?

Yeah, a few.

Love my kids. Hate their moms,

- but I love my kids.
- (LAUGHS)

- (LAUGHS)
- FRANKLIN: Man...

You ever thought about
having some little franklins

running around someday?

Yeah... maybe.

GRADY: Well, they'd
be lucky to have you.

Like they'd won the f*cking lottery.

So, how is it?

It's not good.

Grady is a mess.

There's a massive disparity
between the amount of product

being moved and the money
that's making it to Nicaragua.

Now, it's hard to say exactly
how much he's skimmed,

but... my guess would be

mid-seven figures.

And not only that,

he's in business with the asset.

Legitimate real estate
deals using shell companies.

And, as if that wasn't enough,

he's also in a relationship
with one of his people,

a physical one.

- Grady's gone native.
- (SIGHS)

I think we both know
how that story ends,

unless you want to do
something about it right now.

You sure you can work with the asset?

Considering the history there?

What, you mean that I made him rich?

Or got him out of jail?

Saved his ass with that reporter.

Yes, I think we'll be fine.

See, I was thinking more about

what you did to his father in Cuba.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

Get Grady in line,

but do it quietly.

- What the f*ck?
- Don't worry.

(LAUGHS) I'll get it all put away.

- Ain't nobody worried.
- (LAUGHS)

How was your flight?

It was good. Took Grady up.

What?

You want to sage me or something?

Mm, I'm thinking about it, yeah.

(LAUGHS) What's this?

This is my attempt to
align our chaos into...

- Organized chaos?
- (GRUNTS)

Oh, my god, I don't know how

you sit on the floor like that.

- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, sh*t.

(GRUNTS) Ah.

- That's the day the baby comes.
- If she sticks to the plan.

Or he.

The universe wouldn't do me like that.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Man...

So, wait a minute, ah, yeah.

- Look at you.
- (CHUCKLES)

Color coded it using
them chakras and sh*t.

VERONIQUE: Maybe.

(SIGHS)

That's the deadline for
signing off on trusts

for me and the baby.

And that over there, that's the deadline

for the (C)( ) non-profit corp.

And do you remember what that color is?

- Something about sex?
- Mm.

Sure, yeah.

The sacral chakra.

- Ah.
- Mm. OB-GYN visits.

You see, I was, I was close.
I was real close.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

And that's the deadline to
submit for the building.

The colors represent imagination,

freedom, trust.

Should be green. All the
f*cking money we about to make.

(LAUGHS) What we about

to get into with this
building is a big deal,

and you trusted my
instincts to go with it,

and it's gonna provide
for generations to come.

I can feel it.

Which is why you should have
a personal equity stake.

You gonna own a piece, too.

They just canceled Diff'rent Strokes.

I'm really sensitive right now, huh.

Are you for real?

Would I lie to a pregnant woman?

- I don't know. (LAUGHS)
- Huh? Would I? Would I?

(KISSES) Yeah, for real.

(SIGHS)

Paperwork's right there in my briefcase.

Thank you, Franklin.

Don't thank me.

- Thank the universe.
- (BOTH LAUGHING)

I'm serious.

It's nice when someone sees your value,

you know?

Mm.

Hey.

I'm gonna give you the f*cking world.

(WHISPERS): You promise?

FRANKLIN: The U.S. Treasury has

started to investigate money laundering

in Central America.

Panama banks are solid for now.

There's a better way
to invest your money.

VERONIQUE: The L.A. Community

redevelopment agency is working

to revitalize this downtown area.

We're bidding on this property,

and we're pretty sure we can get it.

Mm-hmm. So, the plan is,
using our shell companies,

to repatriate your money from Panama.

Repatriate? I don't know
what the f*ck that mean.

What you trying to do with our money?

Move it from Panama into this country

and invest it in this project.

Legitimately, though.

How much?

VERONIQUE: In order
for us to be competitive

and retain majority ownership,

our ideal buy-in from
you two is $ million.

sh*t, that's almost
all the money we got.

FRANKLIN: Thing is, the more
we put up for private equity,

the more we own,

and the less the
banks are involved, huh.

(SIGHS) I don't know.

- Legit ownership?
- All legit.

And once the building's finished,

we'll be getting commercial rent,

and our stakes will appreciate
as the economy comes back.

How long is it gonna take
to get our money back?

Three years,

- maybe less.
- JEROME: Three years?

FRANKLIN: Look, this is

a long-term investment, all right?

Returns in the area of
eight percent annually.

Tax sheltered, and best of all, clean.

It's passive f*cking income,
that's what it is.

How you want to be.

And if we ever do decide to sell,

your initial investment can double,

triple, sky's the limit.

It's all in there,

along with the comparative analysis

of other commercial
properties in the area.

LOUIE: Mm-hmm.

We need to talk about it.

FRANKLIN: Yeah, yeah, of course.

Take a look at the projections.

- Let us know.
- VERONIQUE: I'm gonna head back

- to the office. Mm.
- All right.

- I'll see you later.
- Mm-hmm.

(JEROME CHUCKLES)

Anything new about Rob and his friend?

Yeah, it's all taken care of. Rob's out.

His friend who did the sh**ting, too.

By "out," you mean...

Out.

Rob was on the pipe.

Couldn't be trusted anymore.

Damn, nephew. Wow.

(PHONE RINGS)

WANDA: Thank you, baby.

Now, you know, you always
got to ask for me, Karen,

and then we'll always have fun.

(CHUCKLES) Mm.

I can't wait.

I'm getting wet already.

WOMAN: Oh, yeah.

JOHNNY B: I'm busy.

This sh*t is short.

(SIGHS)

The FCC getting more complaints

about bill cramming, so I'm taking

- a bigger cut for fines.
- That ain't my problem.

Fines can put me out of business.

No business, no job. Your problem.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

You know how much the
telephone company takes

after each call? %.

And then there's rent and upkeep

and equipment. I'm barely
staying above water here.

I could give a f*ck.

So, this is the new deal.

You don't like it? Door's right there.

(SNORTING)

Mmm. (SNIFFS)

Or...

If you want to party with me,
we could work something out.

Yeah?

Yeah.

That's all I got to do?

That's all, baby.

- f*cking bitch!
- f*ck you! And f*ck this job.

JOHNNY B: You think you'll
get another gig like this?

Sit on your ass all day
and bullshit on the phone?!

Vamos, apúrenle que vamos bien tarde.

- It's your fault.
- No, it's not. Shut up.

- Yes, it is.
- W-why would you even say that?

Échenme la culpa.

Tell your teacher it was my fault, okay?

I was... I was the whole morning

in the, in the, in the toilet.

Cagando.

- Ew!
- That's gross.

- Ándenle, ándenle.
- Yuck.

And learn something.

No quiero burros.

GIRL: I know. I don't
want to be late. Come on.

- Your kids look happy.

Pos hay la llevan, gracias a dios.

Took a long time.

And Xiamara?

Xiamara...

Pos resulta que... she likes this life.

Maybe too much.

Well, I wondered if maybe
I wouldn't find you with...

Lucia. Thought about it.

Lanzarme a miami. Show up.

But then I realized

my family's here, you know?

I think it's a good choice.

So...

What you doing here?

Grady's sloppy.

He's compromised.

He's a danger to
himself, to the mission,

to everyone.

So, they're bringing you back?

Entonces el Grady's out?

Shortly, yeah.

Mm.

He loves it here.

His job. La feria más.

This-this guy is not gonna
like being told to leave.

It's not his choice.

I'm here

'cause I need to know if
I can still count on you.

Pues ya sabes. Just want to take care

- of my family.
- Of course.

And I'll look out for
you, same as before.

Okay.

Grady's not a bad guy, you know?

And he's more fun than you.

I'm fun.

(LAUGHS)

You are mi carnal, but fun, you are not.

I got eight aks, five mac- s,

and my new favorite,

a mini U*i.

Invented by a friend of mine,

Major Uziel Gal. Got of these.

- Feels like a toy.
- A toy that does rounds

per minute.

And it never jams.

LOUIE: Mm.

You like?

We do.

Look at you two,

regular Bonnie and Clyde.
Do you know that movie?

Know sh*t ain't end
up too good for them.

No, no, no, ignore that part.

I meant, just, you know,

having a partner in crime.

I'm jealous, if you really want to know.

Yeah.

You got each other,

you got money, you got the city.

Hope it's making you happy.

Next time you come, stay longer.

Hmm? We'll talk more.

(SIGHS) That was weird.

You think he got something
going on with him?

You start thinking what
might be going on with AVI,

you end up in a straitjacket.

(SCOFFS)

What?

I mean, is he right, though?

You happy?

sh*t.

I'm rich, I'm alive,

got you sitting over
there in that skirt,

and the raiders in L.A. (LAUGHS)

I don't see how I could be much better.

Well...

Maybe I ain't say it enough,

how much I appreciate you.

Was a time you didn't want
to be in this game at all,

and now you all the way in,

and I know that that's because of me.

And that's everything.

(BANGING ON TRUCK)

You a king among men.

I hope you know that.

I got to find a better one.

(STATICKY): Franklin...

I got some important
news about veronique.

I know they say it's too
early to tell people,

but you know I had to tell you, though.

She's pregnant.

What did you say?

Mom, we gonna have a baby.

A baby?

Can't believe it. (CHUCKLES)

How exciting!

Sure wish you was here.

Mama, can you hear me?

Where'd you take them?

Uh, Santa Monica for the last few times,

but got hassled by the cops,

so been going down to El Segundo.

Hmm.

Remember when you, me and Kev
went to the beach that time?

(CHUCKLES)

First time I'd ever seen the ocean.

sh*t's scary as f*ck.

Come on.

LEON: You ever look
at that book I gave you?

Mm. Meaning to.

Haven't got around to it yet.

I wanted to talk to you about this

development opportunity downtown.

Appreciate it, but...

Gonna have to pass on that one.

Look, you know I don't care about

what you do with your money.

Just want to make sure you got a plan.

Look, already got more than
I ever thought I would have

- or could need.
- Yeah. (SCOFFS)

You know, can't be doing you any good.

You know, you burying it or...

stashing it in shoeboxes

or wherever you keeping it.

Well, I'd rather that than
using it to build some building

that white folks will just want
to keep black folks out of.

All right. All right.

Jerome told me about rob.

Yeah.

(SIGHS)

He was on the pipe.

- Maybe he could've cleaned up.
- You didn't see him.

Could've folded any time.

Said some sh*t he shouldn't have.

Couldn't have been easy.

It wasn't,

but it had to be done.

(SIGHS)

Veronique's pregnant.

- Oh, sh*t, for real?
- (CHUCKLES) uh-huh.

It's only been about six weeks.

I ain't told nobody else.

But you see, that's why, man.

That's why.

Why I got to keep
this m*therf*cker tight.

I see you thinking it,
might as well say it.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Nothing.

I'm happy for you.

About to be a daddy. (LAUGHS)

- (CHUCKLES)
- sh*t is crazy.

About to be a daddy.

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

I admire your taste in wine.

DWP.

But without the wig.
I'd offer you a line

or a drink, but I'm
guessing you'd say no.

- Yeah, I'm working.
- Right.

Right.

So, what, did you come here to warn me?

You gonna rap my knuckles?

What'd you expect?

This house, those cars...

That's before we even get
to the millions of dollars

that are flowing directly into

your pocket and not to the cause.

Well, there's a lot of
looking the other direction.

I just figured I was included.

You're not.

Fine.

I got the message.

Now, you can go tell your masters

that you did your job, all right?

(CHAIR SCRAPING)

It's too late.

Your contract's canceled. It's over.

No.

No, I don't...

I don't think that it is.

Who has a relationship
with the Colombians?

Who can get keys across the border

and knows how to move it?

Yeah, you know, if it was
anybody else sitting here,

those might be problems.

Wait, you're the guy?

(LAUGHS): Oh, my god.

You're the, you're the guy.

You're the guy that...

You're the guy that almost
went down with the ship.

Wow.

Well, how'd they get you to come back?

Was it the carrot or was it the stick?

You can keep the cars,
whatever money you've managed

to squirrel away.

Wait, maybe they
didn't come back to you.

Maybe you volunteered.

You're one of the last true believers

who's not in on the joke yet.

You know, all the "God and Country" guys

that I come across,
they're-they're looking

for something else to fill, you know?

They want to be important.

They want to feel like they matter.

They want to feel like
they're not a f*cking joke.

I'll be back here tomorrow,

and I expect you to be gone.

GRADY: Well, hold on. Let me guess.

Your wife left you.
She's off f*cking some other guy.

Your kids, they don't
want to talk to you

'cause you're a f*cking idiot.

And-and your parents, I'm guessing that

they probably kicked you

around so much as a little pup,

that you started to believe

that you didn't matter,
that you weren't worth a sh*t.

Am I close?

(SIGHS)

You think I didn't see this coming?
(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, you go back, and you tell them

that I know an awful lot that
they don't want coming out.

You tell them that I am this operation,

and that they better
think twice next time

before they come to this house.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Want me to send some folks down there,

f*ck his whole day up?

Nah. It was a stupid-ass job anyways.

You wouldn't believe how disgusting

some of these n*gg*s are.

But it took me months of
looking even to find that one.

Thought of going back out there,

trying to explain the whole
two-year gap in my life...

The way people look at you

when they realize you was on that rock.

So, don't tell them. Make some sh*t up.

Mm-mm. That's part of the recovery,

being honest with
yourself and the world.

(SCOFFS) You know,

I thought getting sober
was gonna be the hard part,

but staying clean, sh...

It's almost worse.

Especially when you got
to keep paying for sh*t

you did while you was high.

I got to do something, lee.

I might need you to put me on.

You was here, remember?
Walked away for a reason.

I know, but that was almost a year ago.

Temptation's still the same.

You really want to be
around that sh*t all day?

Don't think I got a choice.

You do. And I'm gonna make it easy.

Ain't nothing here for you.

Gonna have to figure something else out.

(LABORED BREATHING)

It's because you're bad at your job.

Your waste cost countless lives.

(COUGHS)

(DOORBELL RINGS)

You forget your key again?

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Can I come in or...
- Yeah.

Come on, man. (CHUCKLES)

Yeah, welcome. (CLEARS THROAT)

It's a nice place.

It's safe.

It's quiet. Secluded.

Secure.

Guess it's everything
I'd expect from you, right?

When'd you get back in town?

TEDDY: Uh, a few weeks ago.
You know, what's crazy is

I never, in my life, thought

that I would miss
Los Angeles...

But I don't know, man,
somehow this place

has a way of growing on you.

Oh, sh*t, I hear you're coming up.

Got your pilot's license.

- (CHUCKLES) Yeah.
- Holy sh*t.

And a lady, that right?

Yo, you want a cigar or something?

Sure.

Thing's been moving smooth, man.

Got to call Grady.
He's doing a great job.

I know you like Grady.

I know that he is...

Easy to be around.

That's his job.

Make you like him, make you trust him,

make you think that he's
looking out for you.

Saying he's not?

Saying he makes
some really poor choices.

Now, partying,

that's something I could forgive, but...

He goes and he gets himself into...

Let's call it

a romantic relationship,
with one of your crew,

and that's before we even get

to the two of you

in real estate together, which...

(WHISTLES)

Look, I get it.

I know that, at the time,

it probably seemed
like a really good idea.

If you're entwined in
legitimate business,

he's more likely to protect you,

look after you, all that.

Why do you keep talking about
him in the past tense, reed?

What I cannot wrap my head around here

is how you could possibly
think that it is a good idea

to get that close to your contact.

Figured if somebody
had a problem with it,

they would've said something.

Here I am, saying it.

Grady was not your friend.

It's a matter of time
before he got everybody

in a lot of trouble. Good news is

it's been taken care of before

things can get too out of hand.

We can get back to doing things

the way they should be done.

Starting when?

Right now.

We got sh*t done before.

No reason why we
can't get sh*t done now.

That's really great to hear.

'cause I don't think I
have to explain to you...

... that the stakes
have never been higher,

so there can be no more
mistakes, no more foul-ups,

and no more loose ends. Is that okay?

Yeah, okay.

Okay.

I'll, uh, be in touch about

the next drop.

In the meantime, uh, this house that

you helped him get through your trust,

go ahead and sell that.

Get me the cash. You know what?

I don't carry a lighter anymore.

You mind?

It's your world, man.

I just sell dope in it.

Hey, Reed.

Grady had agreed to cut the prices down.

$ , a kilo.

I'm hoping you can honor that.

Let's keep it at ten for now.

Also, Reed's gone.

From here on, you can call me Teddy.
