Thank you.

My name is Detective King.

I'm going to have to ask you a few questions if you don't mind.

Where is Detective Miller?

Detective Miller had to recuse himself from the case.

It appears you all were having an affair.

My lawyer is going to be here any minute.

Yeah, well, you can tell your lawyer that you're being held on a pandering

warrant from New York.

I'll have the extradition papers ready for your attorney when she gets here.

What does that mean?

You're going to have to ask your lawyer.

You look like shit.

Why am I here?

Megan got arrested.

Yeah, Mac said that she was going to be out on bail.

That's what we thought.

They're keeping her on a warrant from New York.

That changes everything now.

She can't get bail.

And if they send her back, she could be gone for months.

More if they convict her.

That's why you're here.

Mac said you're a great problem solver.

And you were studying business at Yale.

I didn't tell you that.

I had a friend check you out.

So the two of you want me to be a pimp?

No. Yeah, pimp Daddy Jacob.

This is a business, and we want you to run it.

No. No way.

We need you.

Why do you need me?

I have to keep the girls working, but I can't do it by myself.

Max says you're a problem solver.

That's what Megan did.

All right, so what would my job be specifically?

I would run the bookings, as usual.

Max would deal with the drivers.

You'd be the face.

You'd help hire new girls and solve problems.

You know how to get things done.

The fact that you're not from this world makes you perfect to run the company

until Megan gets out.

If I do this, I want to change a few things.

First, if a girl doesn't want to see a client, then she doesn't have to see

Second, I have something in my life right now that I really need to spend

on, so I need the time to do that.

And third, I want to hire someone that I know To be here with you on the booking

side so that I know what's going on.

And if you two are okay with that, then I'm in.

Okay.

Fine with me.

Let's make some money.

Good morning.

Hi, Gus.

I didn't get the rent yesterday.

Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Coming.

It's a little early to be drinking, isn't it?

Can you give me a receipt?

Go get a receipt.

Okay.

Well, I'll give you the money when you get me a receipt.

You know, some of the other tenants have been saying some things about you.

The late hours you keep, the sexy outfits you wear.

Don't take this the wrong way, but are you a working girl?

Excuse me?

I just thought we could come to an arrangement.

Save you some money.

So, this is what you want, huh?

You can't even afford me, Gus.

And even if you could, I will never touch you because you're disgusting.

So get the fuck out of my house.

And don't come back with everything.

You Mexican girls are fierce.

I'm Spanish, you prick.

Get the fuck out.

Jacob Hunter.

Where the hell have you been?

Sorry. Your brother told me where to find you.

I figured.

Nobody can get a hold of you.

I had to disappear for a while.

Why?

You're a pimp.

Way to go, I believe.

Do I look like a pimp?

You do look different.

I mean, what's up with the hair?

I need your help.

With what?

I want you to come and work for me for a few weeks.

Fuck you.

Not as an escort.

I need help running things on the inside while I'm out taking care of problems.

Where are you working now?

For one of my dad's friends.

I'm an executive assistant.

Do you like it? Are you kidding me? It fucking sucks.

Money sucks.

And it's boring.

Well, this definitely isn't boring.

What would I do?

Hey, so I was talking to Spitz about your situation.

You know, your ex -boyfriend.

Yeah, I didn't know my ex -boyfriend.

You know, I was thinking, you know, maybe I could help.

We don't have to talk about it.

It's okay.

I'm fine.

What happened?

Well, I came to LA to marry him.

I met him in Spain.

And we had the most amazing week together.

We talked on the phone almost every day.

Yeah, almost every day for a year.

But when I got here, I found out he was married.

So, I ended it.

I'm sorry.

I'm okay. It's okay.

I wanted to stay.

And I was looking for work.

Then I found Megan.

You know, I know I've only known each other a little while, but, you know,

if it would help, I could marry you.

You know, for a green card.

No.

No, don't take me the wrong way, Frank.

You're sweet.

You're so sweet.

But come on.

No one wants to marry a drunk whore.

That's not true.

Yes, it is.

I'm okay with it.

I'm okay.

If you had your green card, you could get any job.

You know, what did you do in Spain before you came here?

I worked in a cafe for two years.

Okay, so you could get a job in any cafe, you know, with your accent.

People would love you.

We should get going.

Yeah.

Screening is the key.

We don't send a girl unless we know who the client is and can verify him.

We like regulars, and so do the girls.

So we cater to their needs.

What about the police?

We charge for companionship, not for sex or any sex act.

But they want sex.

Most do, but...

You would be surprised how many just want to feel relevant.

Being seen with a pretty girl who attends to your every need is

But they want sex.

Sure.

How do you know Jacob?

We grew up together.

You two ever had a thing?

I don't kiss and tell.

Good.

That's what this job is all about.

Good morning.

Hey.

We've got a problem.

What?

There's another agency talking to our girls.

The lady that runs it, she's a fucking bitch.

She's been talking to our girls, trying to take them away from us.

Does Vanessa know about this?

Yeah, she's setting up a meeting with you and the girls right now so you can

talk to them.

Also, did she mention to you about Michelle?

Yeah, I'm taking care of Michelle.

You know, there's been a lot of drama going on since Megan's been in jail.

That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

What do you mean she's not coming back?

She could be gone for a week, but she might also be gone for a few months.

I need to keep working.

I don't think I should give up 40 % without Megan.

Our cut's only 30, and we're going to pay the drivers.

Vanessa's going to be running the books as usual.

And Max is going to be dealing with the drivers.

What are you going to do?

I'm making a few changes.

Like what?

If you don't want to see a client, then we don't have to book them for you.

That's what Megan said when I first started working for her.

But she'd fill my bookings if I ever said no.

Not with me writing things.

So you want to be my pimp?

I'm not a pimp.

Alright, so what do you do?

I'm here to make sure that everyone stays booked and gets paid.

Well, that's a pimp.

I need to talk to you about last night.

A client said that you showed up drunk and puked all over him.

It was the end of a long night.

Let's keep this simple.

You're working tonight and you need to show up sober and keep the client happy.

I'll try.

But I felt better when I'm drunk.

If you can't do this, then we'll give your clients to another girl.

What was your game plan again?

I'm going to reason with her.

You're going to reason with her.

She doesn't reason.

She doesn't listen.

Let's just keep it simple.

At the end of the day, it's just about money, right?

Of course it's about making money.

She's just complicated.

You asked me to do this because you like the way that I do things.

I need you to trust me.

Okay. You're right, you're right.

You could have called Max.

I didn't expect you to pick it up.

He's a friend.

I'm running private sales.

I'd like to talk with you.

Did you put a boy in charge?

What is your name?

I'm Jacob Hunter.

I hear you've been talking to her. Do you know who I am?

What do you want?

Our girls work for private sales and no one else.

I know how you treat your girls.

You do?

My girls will not come and work for you.

They deserve better.

Your girls?

Your girls are whores.

And you're just a little boy.

I'm willing to make you an offer.

Get out of my house.

I would consider listening to my offer.

You know what you look like?

Like a little mouse.

I'm going to take all your girls, and there's nothing you can do about it.

And my girls won't flip their wrists.

Cheers.

Get out relax relax get out of my house just relax

Jacob

Jacob

Look what I found.

All the girl's passports.

Did I fuck up?

I don't know.

If you did, we'll know.

We're going to need more drivers.

Oh, shit.

She's scared to talk with us.

Tell her that this morning they found Roxy dead.

In her pool.

Hey,

Rox!

Brought you something.

She's been making the girls work to get their passports back, but it never

happens.

Tell her that we want to make her and the other girls an offer.

If they still want to work, then they can come and work for us.

What

if

they don't want to escort anymore?

Well, now that they have their passports, they can do whatever they

them.

Okay.

She's going to talk with the other girls.

Thanks for coming today.

Jacob's going to be running the business a while until Megan gets back.

I'm here to talk to you about how we're going to handle clients that don't pay.

This scene deals with the subject many fathers find difficult.

This scene deals with a subject many fathers find difficult.

Michelle?

Michelle?

Michelle?

Oh, God.

Jesus Christ.

Michelle?

Michelle? Come on, honey. You got a job.

Hey, wake up.

Come on.

Jesus, you're coming in puke.

Hi, Nani.

Oh, my gosh.

What did you do to your hair?

I got it cut.

Have you talked to your sister?

Yeah.

She came and saw me two months ago. Why didn't you come and see me?

Can I ask you something that's a bit odd?

Of course.

Was my dad a drinker? Was he hiding something from me?

Your dad was not a drinker.

When he was killed, they found a scotch bottle next to him. I just didn't.

In 19 years, I never saw him drink.

Well, the two weeks before they were killed, was there any, like, strange

hanging around the house? Did any of their clients stop by? I mean, were they

acting strange?

There was a man that came here and was asking me a bunch of questions.

About what?

What I saw.

What I knew, and he was just being very pushy.

Did you tell the police?

I thought he was the police.

But then I started seeing him everywhere.

I'd be at the grocery store, and there he was.

I'd be at the car wash, and he was there.

What did he look like?

Tall. Very tall.

He had a mustache and white hair.

He looked like a cop.

I'm really sorry that I didn't come to see you earlier.

Rick?

What are you doing here?

No, we did not do that. Okay.

You left the door open, came to check on you.

I had to clean the puke off your face and bring you in here.

Watch your sleep so you wouldn't pull some sort of Hendrix thing on me.

I'm sorry.

You're fired. You got fired.

I got fired?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Really? Yeah.

I fucked up, Frank.

I really fucked up.

Yeah.

What am I going to do?

Well, for starters, you might want to take a shower. You smell like barf.

Can you stay with me, please?

Of course.

Okay.

Okay.
