[soothing lullaby twinkling]

[Wilson cooing]

[music halts]

[woman shuddering]

[foreboding music playing]

Please, eat something.

I understand you have a newborn.

So do I.

Ah, well...

he's not so newborn anymore. He's a...

[Maya] A two-month old,

who was almost k*lled at his own baptism.

Yes. [sighs]

Yeah. Well.

Of course you would know that,

because you...

you are the woman who moved the almighty
US government against Lagunas.

Will you tell me about that?

About what?

You and Marty.

How does it work?

Marty Byrde's a brilliant man.

Much better at what he does
than most federal agents.

So, there's a... mutual respect.

Out of that respect came a collaboration.

[snickering]

Please forgive me, but you make it sound
like he's the one who's useful to you.

We're useful to each other.

How so?

You're still here, aren't you?

[chuckles softly]

Every single drug lord
who sleeps soundly at night

does so for one of two reasons.

Either the US government doesn't care
enough about them to k*ll them, or...

the US government thinks k*lling them

is inconvenient.

Please go on.

If you want to make it
inconvenient for us to k*ll you,

if you want to eventually
live a life free of fear,

you need to provide us
certain things in exchange.

Such as?

Years in a federal prison cell,

the details of how your cartels operated,

surrendering your product.

Your weapons.

Names and locations of every
US citizen you've made disappear.

Otherwise, I have no reason
to bring this meeting to my superiors

and I don't even know what I'm doing here.

[sighs deeply]

Well, then?

[snickers]

[airplane whirring]

[snickering]

[car engine turns over]

[in Spanish] Let's go.

[lullaby tune fades in and out]

[footsteps approaching]

[car approaching]

[suspenseful music building]

[door creaks and closes]

- Where is he?
- Uh, in Jonah's room, what happened?

Ask your boss.

And until he's ready
to make a serious offer,

stay the f*ck away from me and my son.

- Um... okay. Um...
- [line ringing]

I'll check back with you
a little bit later on. Okay?

[Omar] Yes?

Uh, hey, it's... it's... it's me.
How did it go with Maya?

[Omar] You're gonna need a sample.

A sample?

Shaw. Chicago, this week. They're gonna
want to know what they're buying, no?

Uh... a sample. Okay.

Good.

Then I will send you one, and you...

you will get Agent Miller back for me.

[Marty] Yeah, it... uh, you know,
it seems she might need a minute

to get her head around all this.

You don't win until I win, Marty.

Don't forget that.

[line disconnects]

[brakes hiss]

[car door opens]

When's it ready to sell?

Why does it matter?
Your deal's dead anyway.

[scoffs] Well, you must not
rate much around here

if no one bothered
to tell you it's back on.

And before you go sticking your d*ck
in decisions above your pay grade,

ask yourself, do you really want
to have to toss it in a Yeti

while you pray
the doctors can sew it back on?

The batch will be ready
day after tomorrow.

[Ruth] Hmm.

[phone buzzes]

[footsteps approaching]

Your father and I have asked
a lot of you since we came here.

- More than any parent has a right to.
- Mom, it's not your fault.

Oh yes, it is.

And we want you to know that we know that.

I know that.

And even if we get angry or impatient, we...

appreciate that you're here.

This is a place where we can come
and remember Ben.

Quietly, as a family.

And I'll make... I'll make sure
that this... this is always lit,

so when we look outside, we can see it.

And if...

anyone has anything
they want to say to him,

they can write it down, and

we'll know it's reaching him as it burns.

Because he's right here.

But he's not.

Don't be an assh*le.

Maybe if you k*ll me,
you can make one of these too.

[sinister music playing]

He'll come around.

[keyboard clattering]

[computer fans whirring to a halt]

[bugs chirring]

Voicemail again. Damn it. Um...

Maybe I should, uh,
go down there in the morning

and, uh, smooth the waves myself.

[Wendy] I thought you said
she needed space.

Well, space only works
if Navarro is being patient

and I'm not so sure we can count on that.

Pushing hard doesn't work either.

Well, hey, Wendy,

if you hadn't,
she wouldn't have gotten on that plane

and who knows where we'd be? You know?

Maybe you should go down there tomorrow.
What do you think?

[Wendy] Instead of you?

[Marty sighs deeply]

How did it go with Jonah today?

Not well.

[storm rumbling]

[men chattering indistinctly]

- [in Spanish] Good trip?
- Yes.

I was scouting new territory.
We need to ramp up production.

To meet Shaw's demand.

[Omar clears his throat]

Marty and Wendy Byrde
are heading up the deal?

- It was their idea...
- Hmm.

You don't think there should be someone
from the family in Chicago with them?

What? You mean you?

It's why I got my degree.

Make sure these f*cking corporate types
don't think they can walk all over us.

I thought it was to keep
my big sister off my ass.

[Javi] At least send me with a sample.

So I can make sure
all our interests are protected

and things don't go sideways.

[Omar] Javi.

I'm tired.

[footsteps fade]

m*therf*cker.

[Jim] Hey. How's the view from
atop that $150 million mountain?

Well, it'd be a lot better

if you could get us face time with
Senator Schafer the day after tomorrow.

Well, don't you think
we should start a little closer to home?

Geographically or politically?

Both. I think we stand
a better chance with Schafer

if we can come to him
with commitments in hand.

People love a winner.

It's gonna take a while to reel him in.

I want to... I want to set the hook early.

All right, well, I'll set it up,
but you bring your A game.

You know how much I hate it
when my magic's wasted.

Bassinet's in the bedroom,
but you can move it easy enough.

The bottle warmer's by the stove.

Here's the changing table.

Don't forget to keep
the baby wipes at body temp.

Well, there's just no stopping progress.

[doorbell chimes]

Your boss have something for me?

I'd be angry too.

Angry is what I get when
someone cuts me off in traffic.

[Wendy] When you become a parent,

a whole other instinct kicks in.

It makes you do things
you never imagined you could do.

I'm not doing this with you.

[Wendy] When I first met him,
when I got home,

it took a full day
for the adrenaline to run its course.

[Maya] The difference
is you chose it. I didn't.

I can still appreciate
how much we're asking of you.

If you can appreciate it,
why the hell are you still doing this?

When there's a much easier out.

If you don't know that already,
you will soon.

My mother says
being a parent makes you selfish.

No. No.

It makes you fierce.

I still need something from your boss.

Hey there, uh, Mr. Madden.

It is Marty Byrde from
the Missouri Belle and The Big Muddy.

Um... Hey, listen, we... we just recently
started giving out markers,

and I was wondering
if you could tell us, um,

what, uh... what... what...
what percentage of your handle, uh,

do you... do you typically have
in outstanding markers?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, and, uh,

and then what's... what's
the attrition rate on those markers?

Yeah. Well, that's, um...

Hey Jonah.

Can I... Sir, can I call you back
in one sec? Thank you.

- Um...
- [phone clicks off]

- What are you doing? What's going on?
- Mom cut the power to the basement.

Mom cut the power to the basement.
When did she do that?

Yesterday, when I was in the middle of
testing an automated deposit flow-chain.

If one of those deposits was
in process when the power cut...

Yeah, then the account gets flagged
and the whole chain needs to get rebuilt.

I can't work like this.

Yeah. Well, you know,
maybe you shouldn't be working at all.

I mean, maybe that's
what Mom was trying to say to you...

Hello.

Before you blow a f*cking gasket,

I'm only doing what he asked.

If he asks for a hit of smack,
would you give him that too?

The kid had 16 shell corps up and running

before I could even say "Panama."

Well, he's still, uh...
he's still just a kid, you know?

So was I when you hired me.

And that's working out great, isn't it?

[quietly] f*cking great.

[Ruth groans]

What the f*ck is she doing here?

[Marty] Somebody cut
the power to the basement.

Oh, was I supposed to just let him keep
committing felonies under our roof?

Well, you know, now he's moving his office
so he can commit them somewhere else.

- No. No, no, no he is not.
- That's the way it's looking. Yep.

- [Wendy] Jonah! Jonah, come here.
- [Marty] Wendy. Wendy.

[Wendy] Jonah, drop it!

Just... Just hear me.

[shuddering] You're angry about Ben?

So am I. But you know
who you should be angry at?

- I don't think this is helping...
- Stay the f*ck out of this!

- You got it.
- She's the one.

She's the one
who let him out of the hospital

when she knew he wasn't well.

No wonder he wants out, Marty.
Look at her.

[shuddering] She's the one
who put him in harm's way.

She is the one who got your uncle k*lled.
She and that...

[shouting] That psycho!

Who kidnapped you!

And shaved your head!

So, if you think... if you think...

You think these two lunatics
are gonna protect you

when the sh*t hits the fan?

You've got another thing coming.

Jonah.

Jonah?

[engine turns over]

What are you doing, Wendy?

[sobbing] I'm fighting for our family!

And what the f*ck are you doing?

Here you go.

[Wyatt] Hey.

So I saw you at the farm yesterday.

Okay.

You know, Ruth, if Darlene finds out...

She ain't gonna find out, is she?

Not until she's holding
hot stacks of cash,

by which point she'll realize
what you and I already know.

My plan's best for business.

Is it?

Is it?

Because you know so much about it.

Six months ago, you thought liquidity was
what happened when you spilled your bong.

I'm not the one that hired a f*cking
teenager to do our laundering, okay?

Was I supposed to run an ad?

"Launderer needed, police need not apply"?

And he ain't just any teenager.

- He's Marty Byrde's teenager.
- Ah, right.

- It's not about what's best for business.
- Didn't I just say it was about...

It's about you having to
get back at Marty, and the fact...

- What?
- Nah.

What? Just f*cking say it, Wy.

Ruth, you fight with
everyone you work with.

f*cking everyone.

It's like you can't help it.

And then once you start fighting,

it becomes more about the fight
than it does the work.

No, I don't.

[scoffs] Really? Think about it.

Everyone you've worked with,
what do they have in common?

Look, I want this to work out
with me, you and Darlene.

I do. Okay?

So please, don't f*ck this up too.

It's a great f*cking plan, Wy.

And you know it!

[engine turns over]

[Erin] Where the f*ck
is my mom, Charlotte?

My dad's looking everywhere, even hired
some P.I. that's now back from the Ozarks

and said even he couldn't find anything.

That he talked to you all
and you said you didn't know anything.

We both know that's not true.

[Charlotte] Erin,
you need to calm down, okay?

I thought your Mom went back to Chicago.

I don't believe you.

I'm telling you the truth, Erin.

Just like when you said we were friends?

I told you the truth when you asked me.

Didn't I?

When no one else would tell you
what your mom really did,

I was the one that said it.

And I'm telling you the truth now.

Then where the f*ck is she?

I'll see what I can find out, okay?

Okay.

[Charlotte] I have to go to Chicago
with you and Mom.

- Why?
- Erin called.

What does she want?

She's wondering where her mom is
and she's convinced we know something.

I can't have that conversation
with her over the phone.

[Marty] Mm-hmm.
You have to have it with her at all?

[Wendy] Yes.

Yes, she does.

All right, well, why don't we
make a family trip out of it?

[Charlotte] Hmm?

Yeah? Mom's the only one
that's been back since we moved,

and we can just, you know,
make a, like, a reverse vacation.

I can't. I have work.

We can go to Portillo's
and get chocolate cake shakes. [chuckles]

[Wendy] Don't bother, Charlotte.

Not worth your time.

[faucet running]

[Marty] Think it's smart
to leave him alone

while the three of us are out of town?

What, you want me to beg
for his approval like you?

Might work better than cutting the power.

I tried to make peace. He spit in my face.

And I wouldn't have had to cut the power

if you'd only backed me on this
from the beginning.

Wendy, I did back you.

- I warned Ruth you and I aren't happy...
- You're still proud of him.

You can't help it and he senses that,

and he won't stop
until he sees that he's only safe with us.

Wow. Look, that's muscling.

- That's not parenting.
- What do you think brought Charlotte back?

[Marty] Charlotte realized
she had no place else to go.

Neither does Jonah.
He's just doesn't know it yet.

[Marty] I want the security system
on at all times, okay?

No one else is allowed in the house.

I want you home by 10:00.

Lights out by 11:00.

All right? And, uh, this should be
more than enough for food

or any unforeseen emergency.

Got it?

You know my net worth
is more than six figures, Dad.

I know, buddy, but it's all tied up
in crypto and offshore accounts, right?

That's a little liquidity, just in case.

Don't do anything I wouldn't.

So do steal ten grand
and buy a shitty van?

Well, you gotta live a little.

Okay. Love you, pal.

[engine turns over]

Are you really not gonna say goodbye?

[sarcastically] Fantastic.

[tense music building]

- [keyboard clacking]
- [electronic zapping]

[Jonah] So you click this little icon here
and the workflow runs itself.

Starts and ends with the same accounts,
but on its way there,

each deposit takes one of 20 trillion
randomized paths through our other shells.

[Ruth] Twenty trillion?

Yeah, 16 factorial
is a little more than 20.9 trillion.

- Holy f*cking f*ck.
- Yeah, pretty much.

- [car approaching]
- Once our Internet's upgraded,

each deposit will make that journey
in a matter of seconds.

[knocking on door]

[Ruth clears her throat]

What makes you think you can move
my product without my say-so?

f*cking Wyatt.

[Darlene scoffs]

Well, he may be your cousin,
but he's my lover.

And I'm your partner, who you brought on

because you know your business needs
fresh blood and fresh thinking.

I brought you on because I like you,

and because you got balls
for being such a slight little thing.

But the second
they start swelling like a dog's,

I'm gonna take them right off.

Don't lay a finger on my product.

[engine turns over]

[Jonah] I'm sorry.

I can't believe he f*cking ratted me out.

Yeah. It sucks.

Um...

Are all our accounts online?

[electronic beeping and zapping]

As of an hour ago.

Good. We'll be using them tomorrow.

[door closes]

[Wendy] So you're meeting her in the park?

Public place. Open space.

[chuckling] Smart.

I should go.

Okay.

- Okay.
- [Marty] Good luck.

- [Wendy] She's got this.
- [Marty] Yeah.

- [woman] Wendy? Marty? What?
- [Wendy chuckling] Oh my God.

- [Marty] Hi. How have you been?
- Would you look at this! Hi!

- [woman] Great to see you.
- [Marty] You too. Hey, man.

- [woman] Hey!
- [Wendy] Hi!

- [woman] How are you?
- [Wendy chuckling] Hello!

[man] What the heck
are you two doing here?

Well, we, uh... we just... We thought
we'd come into town for some business.

Okay, so it's true what they said, then.
That you all moved...

We moved to Missouri
and we opened a casino.

- At least that part's true.
- Sean.

Well, you know, we... we wanted,
uh, we wanted a simpler life, and...

Yeah. Marty ran the numbers,
we saw it was in reach.

- [phone ringing]
- Yeah, and off we went. So...

- [woman] Just... Just like that.
- Yeah.

- Ooh, I should... I should take that.
- Yeah.

Excuse me.
I gotta take this real quick. Hello?

[Omar] Where are we with Agent Miller?

Uh...

- We're working on it.
- No.

You're 400 miles away,
working on saving yourselves,

when I already told you, Marty...

[Marty] "We don't win unless you win."
I did not forget that.

No. No, no, no, no.
You don't win until I win.

It's a big difference.

Right.

Give me her number.

No.

No?

No. Wendy just got back
from smoothing things over

from the last time
your impatience almost f*cked this up,

so we're gonna do it our way this time.

Listen, I gotta run.

[line disconnects]

[snorts]

[Wendy] We're right on the water,

so the kids can swim and boat
whenever they want.

- [woman] That sounds idyllic.
- Yeah.

Sorry, what'd I miss?

Wendy was telling us how you became
the masters of your own destiny.

Yeah. [chuckling nervously]

Ah, well.

- All good?
- Yes. Yeah, yeah. All good.

Just a misunderstanding.
We'll... we'll work it out. Um...

- Great to see you guys.
- [chuckles]

- [woman] Yeah, you too.
- Yeah.

[woman] Yeah, okay. Bye! Okay, well...

- Bye.
- Take care.

Yeah.

I'm here to see your boss.

You can park over there.

[grunts]

Your rehab permits were pulled.

[Darlene] Byrde leaned
on the state inspectors.

And you knew?

Yeah.

You didn't think to warn me
before my guys lost a day

running to shuttered workhouses?

Like how you warned me

before I lost months refining a product

that you were
too chickenshit to distribute?

You are half a mil in the hole
to me over these rehabs.

If I were you, I'd quit digging.

Well, lucky for you
I have come to pay you back.

Figured you deserved a second chance.

I'm a little short on cash,

seeing as I got no distribution.

Then I suggest you go find some.

Right now.

If I do, you won't see a cent.

I don't think you quite understand.
I am asking...

f*ck that.

I'm demanding you give me what you owe me.

I can't help people
who refuse to help themselves.

[Zeke fussing]

What did you find?

I'm so sorry.

[Erin shuddering]

- I knew it. I f*cking knew it.
- I'm so sorry, Erin.

Why, 'cause you're the ones who did it?

We didn't have anything to do with it.

Then how did it happen?

She worked for dangerous people.

- So do your parents. They're still alive.
- They're lucky.

Or they did it.

That doesn't make any sense.

Why would they let me come tell you
if they had anything to do with it?

Because they want me
to stop asking questions.

They know this could land on them,
so they want me to shut up.

Erin!

Everything you're feeling right now,

you have every right to feel.

But for your sake,
and the sake of everyone that you love,

you need to forget
that this conversation ever happened.

Because if even
one other person finds out,

you'll be next,

followed by Seth,

then your Dad, and his girlfriend.


And that's the last thing
that anyone wants.

- You don't know what will happen.
- I do.

Trust me.

Look at me.

Erin.

Look at me.

Just because we didn't have
anything to do with your mom,

it doesn't mean
we're not capable in the future

if we don't have any other choice.

[foreboding music intensifies]

[ambient office noises and chatter]

- [man] Mr. Byrde.
- Yeah.

Connor McVeigh, Shaw Medical security,
here to escort you off site to Miss Shaw.

Okay, great. We're still waiting
on a courier with a sample,

and, uh, I wasn't told, you know, when...

Sorry I'm late.

That damn Ryan.

Follow me.

Hola, Marty.

- Hi.
- It's good to see you again.

[Connor] Arms up.

Cell phones.

In the bag or the deal ends now.

[tense music building]

[Schafer] Do you like?

I gave one to each of my biggest donors
at my retirement party.

- Dr. King.
- [Schafer grunts]

Not what you were expecting from
the epicenter of the state's moral blight?

You remember.

How can I forget?

Not exactly in keeping with your plaque.

Oh yeah. But it...

It is. I always saw your guy as a friend
I could reach across the aisle to

until he started working with you.

Which is why I've been waiting
years to say "f*ck you" to your face.

At least let me make my pitch, Randall.

Whenever you're ready.

The Byrde Family Foundation
is a non-profit,

apolitical organization that understands
to get anything done in the Midwest,

you have to reach across the aisle.

We started with payday loan abuse
and foreclosure relief,

but now we have an opportunity
to fight the opioid epidemic.

None of which discriminates
between red or blue.

That's why Wendy
enlisted me and my experience

working for Missouri's
most influential Republican donors.

And we can't think of a more responsible
steward for the foundation's funds

than a man who spent a decade

as the ranking Republican member
of the Senate budget committee.

A man who still plays
a massive role in shaping

what is and is not politically
possible in the Prairie State.

[Schafer] Mm-hmm.

[tsks] So, you want to buy my obedience

with some third-rate flattery
and a board seat?

How about access to $150 million
w*r chest that we now control?

[Jim] The road to the White House,
for the next 30 years,

goes through Wisconsin,
Michigan, Ohio and Missouri.

But since you've retired,
your reach only goes as far as Illinois.

Think about the kind of influence
that purchasing power could buy you

across the region, Senator.

And across the country.

[Schafer sighs]

Is that a yes?

It's a slightly less vehement f*ck-you.

Well...

don't take too long with your decision.

Those board seats are filling up.

- You didn't even break a sweat.
- There was a time

when Schafer was the scariest man
I could imagine speaking to. [scoffs]

[Clare] Pardon the gadgetry.
Family of chemists.

[Marty] And a diverse
real estate portfolio.

[Javi] I admire a woman
who does her own dirty work.

I, uh... I made sure that... that your
financial back-channel infrastructure, uh,

will still point anyone paying attention
to your suppliers to Tasmania.

It's the same tax protocols.

No layering necessary.
It's all frictionless.

And we're overhauling
our production process,

so all our output is medical grade.

Combine that with Marty's work,

and we'll be pulling off
the perfect sleight of hand.

It's indistinguishable
from our Tasmanian supply.

[tsking] Ah! Muy bien.

Then it looks like I'll be seeing
a lot more of you, Ms. Shaw.

From here on out, I'll be my uncle's
personal representative on this deal.

I'd love to grab dinner when I'm in town
to supervise the first shipment.

- [in Spanish] Congratulations.
- [both chuckle]

You're the first gringo I've metwhose
family's k*lled more people than mine.

[bugs chirring]

All right. Is there a club
around here, we can go party?

Not without drawing too much heat.

Oh, there's no chance
these guys are waiting till they get home.

Follow me.

["Dreams" by Scantron playing on stereo]

Were you named after that guy
from the insurance commercial?

[laughing] No, dipshit,
he's named after The Intimidator.

Holy f*ck, y'all need
to educate yourselves.

Dale Earnhardt, Senior.

All right, greatest NASCAR driver
there ever was.

Okay? Drove the number three car.

What about Jonah? He your cousin too?

Uh... Nah. Nah.

He's just my business partner.

[Darlene] You f*cking did it, didn't you?

[Ruth] Yes, I f*cking did.

Tell me why I shouldn't take
your head off right now.

A: there's a hell of a lot more
where that came from.

B: you've been waiting for a partner
with as much guts as you your whole life.

C: if you try, there's no guarantee
I won't take off yours first.

I knew I made the right call
bringing you on.

Gentlemen.

Gracias.

Thank you.

[in Spanish] f*cking m*therf*cker.

Everything all right?

When Blackwater over there stole my phone,

- a g*n shipment got moved up to tonight.
- [dialing]

[in Spanish] Hey. What's up?

[dialing]

[line ringing]

[Omar] What is it, Marty?

Yeah, um...

Give up that g*n shipment
that Javi's setting up for tonight.

It's, uh... It's exactly
what Maya's looking for,

and if you wanna get her back,
this is how you do it.

You've already won the w*r.

Those g*ns will be more valuable
as a bargaining chip to get Maya back

than they are in your hands.

Are you f*cking me, Marty?

You really think that I'd risk my life
suggesting this with Javi right here

if I didn't think it was
absolutely necessary?

Ah, doesn't mean you're not f*cking me.

To prove to you
how much I'm not f*cking you,

I'll give you Maya's number
and you can call her yourself.

So get a piece of paper and start writing.

[Wendy chuckles]

Where's Marty?

In the garage with your partner.

- What?
- Not him. The nephew.

If Javi said or... or did anything,

you... you must know he's... he's not...

What? In charge?

He said he's his uncle's
personal representative on this deal.

And so what if he is?

Does it really make a difference?

I'm considering closing
a billion-dollar drug deal, Wendy.

How is this any better
than what my brother did?

- The jobs you'll save, for one.
- Jobs?

Great American excuse.

Look, I love my family despite...

all of it, but I'm trying to save them
without becoming them.

Concentrate on the illegal dr*gs
you'll get off the street.

The rehab clinics
that we'll start together,

the lives that those will save.

I know it might not
feel like it right now,

but it really is, it's the only way
to make the bad mean something.

Bury it.

Bury it.

Pile good on top of good.

[elevator dings]

[news broadcast on TV playing]

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

[Omar] You wanted something from me, so...

here it is.

My show of good faith, huh?

How did you get this number?

How do you think, Agent Miller?

Now do you want what I have or not?

[tense music building]

[pen scribbling]

I... I have to go, right now.

[mother] Okay, then go.

We'll be right here whenever you get back.

Well, should we go sit down?
We're not tourists.

When I was walking in the park today,
it almost felt like we'd never left.

You coming?

[propeller whirring]

[helicopters whirring]

[g*n cocks]

[Javi] What... What do you mean
you're not sure?

[Charlotte] I haven't had
a lot of time to think about it.

[Javi] Well, you've only got a few months
until applications are due.

You two are not
talking about this with her?

No, we are.

She's got time.

Charlotte, college... can't be missed.

And not because of the classes,
but... the whole experience, huh?

The other students.

[officer] Truck is clear!

[grunting]

[indistinct police radio chatter]

Don't tell me you're gonna make me
eat all these oysters myself? Vamos.

You too, sweetie.

- Now.
- Hmm?

Mm-hmm. Sí.

[mumbling]

[Javi] You don't chew,

you just sort of slurp it down.

Eh?

Uno, dos, tres.

[sirens wailing]

[officer 1] Clear!

Open them up.

[phone ringing]

Excuse me.

[whispering] Give me that.

[Javi, in Spanish]
What the f*ck are you talking about?

I don't give a damn,
I'll give you the instructions.

[Charlotte] Is that
what I think it's about?

We can only hope.

You know what?
Take that car and sit it down...

I don't give a damn, you sit him down.

Uh, definitely, we'll, you know,
when we get back home,

we'll... we'll look at our calendars

and... and we'll set up
those, uh, those campus visits.

Everything all right?

[in English] Absolutely.

Good.

[Javi sighs]

Toast. Toast.

To your business being my business,

and mine being yours.
