KEEP HANDS IN PLAIN VIEW
AT ALL TIMES

Mm, hi.

I've made you a coffee.

Thanks.

- No, stay.
- No, I have to go to work.

No, I'm serious. I don't have to
be on the boat until like six.

Just call in sick.

- Really?
- Yeah, why not?

- Because I'm not 15.
- Come on, just five minutes.

- No.
- Okay.

- John, I'm serious.
- Wait, I...

I got something for you.
Alright? Just...

It doesn't have to be a big deal,
just so you can come and go.

Okay.

I was thinking about being away
for a few days

and how much I was gonna miss you.

Plus you can feed the cat.

- We don't have a cat.
- Oh yeah.

Right.

That's... Yeah. That's a good point.

Why don't we go and get one?

I'm happier than I've been
in a long time. You know?

And I'm also late for work...

- No.
- Yes, I am.

- No.
- I am, in fact.

/Out.

/If that's how you want to do it...

/- f*cking cool it, b*tch!
- Save it.

What the...?

- f*cking pigs.
- Just cool it and come with me.

His lawyers are on the way.

Let's leave him to sweat.
The b*stard.

He's so loaded, he'll walk
if we miss the slightest detail.

Hi. Good work.

- Thanks.
- Where is he now?

In the cells.

- Sven, could you...
- I'll sign him in.

Thanks.

Carry on like this, and I think
I'll have to watch my job!

Seriously though, well done.

Thanks.

- f*cking pisshead!
- as*h*le!

Hey!

What the f*ck are you staring at?

- You need to take it easy.
- You can just f*ck off.

I say keep your hands to yourself,
buddy.

Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds...

- All Ryans?
- Yeah, that's kind of our...

Hey, dude, there's a drunk as*h*le
out there harassing women.

- You should take a look.
- Only the one?

- No, I'm serious.
- Sure.

But what,
that introduction you did...

I'm not saying Swedish music is bad,

I'm just saying
it's not exactly on our level.

You're Canadian, what is your level?

f*cking Neil Young, Joni Mitchell,
Robbie Robertson...

Bryan Adams, Céline Dion,
Justin Bieber...

Good one.

- Stop! Get off me!
- Hey!

- Hey!
- Stop it!

f*ck you!

The police will be waiting
in Stockholm.

Come on, man, you're overreacting.

- The guy you hit is a mess.
- Yeah, I know,

but I'm not running away,
we're on a boat, man.

- It's the rules.
- No, please, man,

I can't be in small spaces. Please.

This way.

- Stay here and calm down.
- Hey, man, um...

Do you have to lock it?

Don't go anywhere.

f*ck! f*cking idiot!

Oh sh*t! f*ck!

sh*t...

- What are you doing, man?
- I can't get caught with this!

- So you put it in my car?
- Where should I put it?

- Up my a*s?
- Yeah!

f*ck, don't talk.

- License and registration, please.
- Come on, man. Every time.

- Give us a f*cking break.
- That's "officer" to you.

Yeah, all right,
give us a f*cking break, officer.

- Step out of the car, please.
- Why?

- I'm not going to ask you again.
- sh*t...

Over there.

- Come on!
- Is this your car?

You know you need a reason
to ask that.

So you're, Ruben Frey, 53 years old?

We all know it's my dad's car,

and we all know you need a reason
to stop and search, so...

Are you going to let us in on that,
or can we go?

Step away from the vehicle.

- You can't do that.
- I'm not asking your opinion.

I know my rights. f*ck you!
f*ck you, man!

What are you doing?

- Everything all right, Officers?
- Let go of me.

Yes Ma'm. Everything's alright here.
Nothing to worry about.

- What's going on?
- Oh, you know...

- Infringement of basic rights.
- You'd better watch your mouth.

- Or what?
- Oh, yeah.

This guy was just explaining
his probable cause.

Go ahead, Officer Miller.
The Internet's waiting.

You have a good evening now.

Yeah, thanks for your service,
assholes.

Maybe don't push your luck.

Jesus, what are you, Batman?

That's some thank you, John.

Weston High's
all time music prodigy.

I was a junior
when they kicked you out.

- Oh, yeah? And your name is?
- Catwoman.

Beth, come on!

Or Beth?

To my friends.

So what do I call you?

We can work up to Beth...

Well, whatever your name is, thanks.

Let's do this.

Come on, dude. He's waiting.

- I got a bad feeling, man.
- Keep it to yourself.

Hey, one more job and maybe you can
buy a car that actually works.

Nothing wrong with this car,
as*h*le.

- It's a piece of sh*t.
- Yeah, f*ck you.

'Sup, man?

Damn!

We still good for next week?

- Sure thing.
- I don't know, man.

What don't you know?

I just feel like everywhere we go
at the moment there's cops.

What do you think,
you're John f*cking Gotti?

Oh, you think they're tailing you
and sh*t?

You're a f*cking driver, homes.
Why don't just shut the f*ck up?

We'll wait over there. Come on.

Have you lost your f*cking mind?

This ain't running some bag of dope
to a street team, Mike.

We don't know
what's in that truck.

It's a whole lot of
none of our business.

If I'm driving,
it's my a*s on the line.

Are we talking about some other
John Frey who has options?

Because last I heard you got a juvie
sheet out the f*cking door,

and you can't get a job
at Chick-Fil-A.

- Seriously...
- f*ck.

Here you go.

I'd f*cking vote for that.

All politicians are
the f*cking same, man.

I'm talking about the daughter.

And we'll see you next week.
Let's go.

When I was in the military,
we were taught

that you take responsibility
for your actions.

But now we live in a society that
wants to make excuses for people.

People who say
they're too upset to work.

Too weak to participate in the good,
honest toil and struggle

that made this great country
what it is,

made you fine folks who you are.

There are places in this country
where murderers,

rapists, child K*llers...

they have more rights than the
victims whose lives they destroy.

And my opponent wants our great
state of Ohio to join those places.

He wants to give criminals a free
ride, with your tax dollars.

Well, I say no!

I say that I am proud
to live in a state

that holds people accountable
for their actions.

And I say to you that just as we
are all accountable to God,

I will ensure that we are held
accountable right here on earth,

and right here in Ohio.

God bless you all, and God bless
the United States of America.

Hey! How are you?

Hey, thank you! Thank you, all!

Governor Finnigan,
what about Lucas Cale?

- Thank you so much.
- Lucas Cale, Governor.

A man with severe
learning disabilities

that you had the chance to pardon.

I cannot comment
on individual cases.

Hey! Thank you!

What does God have to say
about executing a man

with a mental age of 11?

So this is where you get
your angry streak.

I saw on the news
where you get yours.

Where are your friends?

It's not really their scene.

Right.

You know I used to have a huge crush
on you.

Back at Weston.

I mean, I was the only one.

I appreciate the support.

What are you up to now?

I'm trying to focus on music. You?

At the moment, I'm focusing on
waving and smiling.

Ah, man, sounds tough.

Tougher than you think,

when you want to be telling people
to run for the f*cking hills.

- You're not a fan?
- Are you?

I stay out of politics.

Everything is politics, John.

He's my Dad. I love him, but...

we don't see the world the same way.

How do you see it?

Let he who is without sin
cast the first stone.

I don't know many people
who fit into that category.

Neither do I.

- So, you got any plans for tonight?
- Yeah.

Right, tie?

I really don't think you need
a tie at all.

- Thank you.
- Hey, Beth.

Hey.

You back in court again?

That's a good one, Dad.

No, I'm good, okay?

Thanks.

How come she's the normal one
round here,

and it's you that's got the stick
up your a*s.

He's trying to make a good
impression. It's sweet.

No, I'm not. It's being polite.
What?

I'm begging you.
Just dress like a human.

Come on.

He's a good kid.

I know.

He got a bad rap for some of
the things that happened.

That's not him.

He... told me about your wife.

I'm sorry.

Must have been tough.

I feel like I failed him sometimes.

We're all just...
doing the best we can.

You know he had a free ride
at Ohio State?

Threw it away.

Don't let him do the same with you.

- Happy?
- Better.

Alright, time to go.

See you.

- Much better.
- Yeah? Alright.

f*cking sh*t door.

- Are you ready?
- Yeah.

- Hey!
- Hey!

Mom, Dad. This is John.

- We've heard so much about you.
- Hey, Beth.

Hi... Sir.

"Governor", please.

- Oh, yeah. Right...
- I'm kidding you.

- It's Edward.
- Right.

- Come on, let's eat.
- Don't worry John,

no one else thinks
he's funny either.

- It's gonna be okay.
- Right.

For what we are about to receive
may the Lord make us truly thankful.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Amen.

Enjoy your lunch.

That's good.

What line of work's your father in?

Um... I guess you'd say...
construction.

What, an engineer? Maybe I know him.

No, I don't think so, sir,
he's more of a handyman.

- You can call me Edward, please.
- Right. He runs his own...

My father doesn't know anyone

who actually gets their hands dirty
for a living.

Not true.
When I was in the military...

John, did Dad ever mention
he was in the military?

Elisabeth, behave.

I'm sorry, it's just that
John has been in the house almost...

and this is the first time

Dad's mentioned he was in the Navy.

- I think we set a record, Mom.
- your generation love to sneer.

If it wasn't for folks I served
with, you'd be speaking Russian.

You can save it, Dad. You don't have
to con us into voting for you,

- we have no choice.
- I don't con.

No, you just rile them up about
Mexican rapists taking their jobs.

Elizabeth, you have crossed a line!

John, 70% of the people on death row
are Black or Latinx,

Here we go...

vs half the Ohio prison population,
and 15% of the population of Ohio?

I do not choose who commits crimes.

And 95% of them are below
the poverty line.

I've done more than any governor
of this state to help the poor.

Can we please have a conversation
where everyone can join in?

Nice, Mom.
So John can't handle politics?

- That's not what I meant.
- Sure.

Okay, John.

What do you think?

About what?

Is poverty an excuse
to commit crime,

or is it a lack of dignity
we should strive to eradicate?

Well?

Well, be honest, sir... Edward.

I wouldn't say the trouble that poor
people have is a lack of dignity...

It's a lack of money.

I felt like a circus monkey
in there.

- They don't mean any harm.
- Yeah, I'm not talking about them.

That wasn't my intention.

Look, I just don't know
if this makes sense.

- How?
- Your dad's the Governor?

- Don't do that.
- What?

Talk to me like all I am
is someone's daughter.

- I'll always be a loser to them.
- I don't give a f*ck.

It's what you are to me that counts.

- Yeah, and what's that?
- A drama queen.

- Oh, is that right?
- Mhm.

A big old drama queen,

- getting your drama on.
- Yeah?

Go. Catch you later.

I have absolutely no idea
what she sees in him.

You said that about the Randolph
boy, and he's at Harvard Law.

Mm.

You were John Frey, too,
once, remember?

I remember knowing how to put on
a shirt and tie.

Edward, you can win every election,

but you cannot be
the first father ever

whose daughter doesn't grow up.

- What are you doing here, man?
- You f*ck her yet, or what?

Or was it just some,
you know, meet the parents sh*t?

What do you want?

Keep it on, 24/7.

When it's time to go,
you'll get a call.

- You understand?
- Yeah.

You having second thoughts, bro?

That ship done sailed, you get me?

You better be all in.

Because if you ain't in,
I'll have to count you out.

So you in?

- Yeah.
- My man!

See ya.

- Who was that?
- Just friends, Dad.

Didn't look too friendly to me. Hey!

Hey! Listen to me son.
You got a good thing going.

You and Beth.

- Try not to f*ck it up.
- Yeah, I know. Thanks Dad.

- Two more?
- No. Sorry. I've got an early start.

- Okay. How boring.
- I'm meeting someone.

Are you meeting someone?
Or are you meeting "someone"?

It's past five. You can drop
the interrogation tone.

Okay...

One last question. Are there two
toothbrushes in your bathroom?

Interview concluded.

- Okay, then. So who is he?
- Who said it was a he?

It is a he, though. His name's John.
We've only been together six months.

- I don't want to rush things.
- Why?

You should go for it.

Life waits for no one.
It flies by, and then...

your future's behind you
and all your dreams and plans...

It's too late.

If it feels good... sh*t.
Don't overthink it. Just do it!

Hey, John. You know what to do.

Hey, I just want to say I'm gonna
come and meet you at the ferry.

I have something to tell you.
So... yep. Bye.

f*cking car.

Big night tonight, huh? You're not
even going to watch the results?

Only if I thought he'd lose.

Is that what you want?

What are we celebrating?

Us.

There must be some upsides
to all this.

You coming in or what?
This is the upside.

Yeah... Yeah, alright.

Yeah! Wow!

People of Ohio, we did it again!

LANDSLIDE WIN FOR
"JUSTICE FOR ALL"

You have put your faith in me
tonight...

and I pledge that I will govern on
behalf of each and every one of you.

I will ensure that
though the hand of justice is swift,

it is always fair,

and though the punishment will
be commensurate to every crime,

we will hold ourselves
to our own very highest standards.

And that way, I will build a better
world for this great state,

for this great nation, and most
important for our children's future.

- Hey...
- Mm?

Are you happy?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, me too.

Oh, sh*t.

- Don't you dare.
- No, I'm sorry. I gotta take this.

Do you?

- I'm sorry. You don't understand.
- What if I do?

What if that's why you're so scared?

This is who you really want to be.
Not that.

I'm not going anywhere, John.

Thank you, René. That'll be all.

I should've listened to you,
not the polls.

- Winning never gets old!
- You're the best.

- Let's have a drink. Go get Liz.
- No, she's only 18.

- We can't do that.
- I am the governor of Ohio.

- I can do whatever I want.
- Yes, Mr Governor.

She's not in her room.

She's not? Maybe she fell asleep
watching TV.

I'll go check the den.

Beth?

Attention all passengers.

We will soon be arriving
in Stockholm.

Disembarkment will begin
in approximately 10 minutes.

Will all drivers please return
to the car deck.

Do not start your engines
until the ship has finished docking.

sh*t.

I'm heading for the terminal exit...

CREW ONLY

SECURITY

No one here.

POLICE

Surprise!

Hey.

What are you doing here?

- Well, great to see you too.
- Sorry.

Sorry, long night... Hey.

I thought maybe we could
get breakfast?

Um... Yeah, sure. Great idea.

And... I've been thinking. About us.

And you know, one always waits
for a perfect moment,

or a sign
that nothing's gonna go wrong.

At least I do.

I've been playing it so safe
for my whole life...

Hey, can we talk about this
in the cab?

- Yeah, okay.
- Yeah? Okay.

Here.

- Thanks.
- No worries.

If you don't move out of the way,
sir, I'll have to move you.

I told you I haven't seen him.
He's not here.

Hey. What's going on?

John Frey, you're under arrest for
the m*rder of Elisabeth Finnigan.

- Leave him!
- ...got the right to remain silent.

f*ck off! What the f*ck
are you talking about?

f*ck you, man, f*ck you!

...an attorney, one will be
appointed for you by the court.

Dad!

Stay down.

Dad!

Dad!

You k*lled the wrong girl.
as*h*le.

I know it's only been a few months,
but...

I really do feel
that we have a connection.

Hey!

Would you rather
talk about this later?

No. Yeah, sorry.
I'm just exhausted.
