Original subtitles

I didn't.

My name is Hazel King.

Sometimes I look back on my path and it feels like it belongs to somebody else.

But then it all comes flooding back.

And the girl I left behind isn't really gone.

She's just buried within.

And I know better than anyone.

Nothing stays buried forever.

Well, babe, what's in that tuna melt besides tuna?

Cheese.

Why don't you have garden burgers, Hazel? Because no one would order them,

Rudy. Why won't you go out with me, Hazel? Because you're broke and

unattractive, Willie.

Is that club sandwich all right?

No. Well, I'd order the garden burger if you had them. No, you wouldn't. You're

right. I wouldn't.

I'm not unattractive once you get to know me.

You're more unattractive once you get to know you.

That's what my ex-wife said. Who do you think I heard it from?

What's the soup of the day?

Minestrone. Every day.

How can you call it the soup of the day?

I don't.

You do.

I call it the only soup we've got.

How about garden meatloaf?

Why don't you have that?

Okay, you fellas have been coming in here two to three times a week since I

opened the place, and every time it's the same thing.

Willie wants to know why I won't go out with him, even though you know you've

got a better chance of banging Carrie Underwood.

And Carl wants to analyze the menu, even though you know it hasn't changed since

the Bush administration.

And Rudy wants to know why we don't serve healthy items, even though you

know you wouldn't order them if you had to.

So what'll it be?

Tuna melt.

And then a Shawnee soup.

Bacon cheeseburger.

Fantastic. Javi.

Diego, are you sure? No.

I'm not a dishwasher.

These hands don't clean plates.

Okay.

Anything else?

No, I'm good. Thank you.

Stop. Get out of here.

Thanks.

Mom, you can't afford to keep comping the cops. A little goodwill could make a

difference between them showing up in five minutes or five hours.

And is Travis going to order anything, or is he just here keeping an eye on

you?

He's not like that.

Okay. Do you check back on five?

Steak and eggs.

Moving like he's on death row. All right, well, you got more time. Boys

having coffee and two sharing a donut. Listen, I need to ask you something.

You do?

Mm-hmm.

Can't wait to hear that.

Mom, I was wondering if I could get that college money.

Well, are you returning to college?

Well, yeah.

Someday. Maybe.

Honey.

College money is for college.

That's why they call it college money, not...

Hand it over to your tweaker boyfriend so he can blow it all in Vegas money. I

wasn't going to give it to Travis. And what makes you think he's a tweaker?

You're so evil.

We want to get a place together.

Over my dead, worm-infested body. I'm 19.

We love each other. Joy, his love will get you beat up or knocked up or dead

broke or all three. You don't even know him. He's a good person. Listen, you

just have insane ideas about who I am, like I'm some sort of genius who can

make it through pre-med. So you're saying he swayed you with low

expectations?

Honey, come on, give yourself some credit, okay? You made it into a great

school. Will you stop always trying to make me what you want?

You don't know me.

I don't even know who I am.

You're my daughter.

And who's my dad, hmm?

Are you ever going to tell me?

Because I've been trying to figure it out on my own, but it must be some sort

of state secret. Will you keep your voice down?

Forget the money. We'll figure it out.

Anything to get out of here.

My girls, too, at that age.

Always in a mood.

Why did you order 18 bucks of food if you had no money?

Another deadbeat. Not at all.

Can't pay your check?

I'm so sorry.

Uh, no.

Losing all of Vegas?

I lost it all.

Not in Vegas.

Get that deputy back here. I'm here.

Don't judge.

Unless you've lost everything, you can't know what it's like. He's robbing you,

and you're a knife to him.

Go help table seven.

You know what I mean?

She's not...

She's not wrong to be angry.

I've never been a thief before.

I just haven't eaten in a couple of days, so... You got anything?

A watch? Pocket change?

No, nothing that you would want, no.

You're not from around here?

No. L.A.

Did you come in off the bus?

Yeah.

Bus. When did you do in L.A.?

Cardiothoracic surgery.

I'm not a dishwasher.

Can you wash dishes?

Job paid, minimum, free meal.

Your bathroom would be the men's room, the diner. There was an outdoor shower

behind the kitchen.

I was not to peek.

I'll take it.

Thought you might.

Hazel King.

Elliot.

Elliot Morgan.

It gets colder here at night more than you might expect. I'll bring you some

extra blankets and a towel.

She doesn't get it.

I don't fit in at college.

Or anywhere around here.

The only place I've been in is next to you.

You know, if somebody's going to take that place out from under us, we don't

run it quick.

That money is yours, Joy.

You better come up with a way to get it.

Yeah.

All right, I gotta go.

Get out of here.

See you soon.

See ya.

Some homeless guy eats your food and can't pay for it, so you give him a job

and a place to sleep?

Are you running a diner or a shelter?

I don't think he's homeless, baby. I think he's just lost.

He could be a serial killer for all you know.

He probably won't wake up tomorrow.

We can't keep going through dishwashers like paper plates. If I give him a place

to sleep, he's more likely to stay.

I don't understand you.

Come on, get in line.

You've known Travis for two years.

He's the man that I want to marry, but you wouldn't piss on him if he was on

fire.

You've known this deadbeat drifter a couple of hours and answer his prayers.

I know people, Joy, and hopefully some of you will too.

Leave those.

Give me your feet.

Really? Oh my God.

So hoping for this love to scare the ass.

Not my college money.

Joy, not again. I'm not asking for you to give it to me.

But maybe I could borrow some.

Nice try, but no.

I'll pay it back.

I said no.

And I assume my continuing to remind you that Travis will bring nothing but

misery will only drive you closer to him. Definitely.

Great.

Hey, I need you at breakfast.

It's going to be a busy day.

Love you, too.

Joy, 6 a.m.

I tried.

Even said I'd pay her back.

She's hanging on to her fantasy that I'm going to be the world's greatest doctor.

Maybe your family could... I'm not taking anything from that.

They got the money. Yeah, and they make me pay for it the rest of my life, okay?

So... If

we got married right away, it could be mom's wedding, pregnant.

Did you just say when your cousin dated a chicken?

He dressed it up, took it to the restaurant.

He was a teen.

Like a chicken.

The bird. See?

How is your cousin dating a chicken similar to Joy dating Travis?

You really pissed off Mama.

Yeah.

A chicken?

What?

We're going to need all hands on deck. Everybody's going into Vegas for the

fight. Go.

All right.

Club sandwich.

No way to scratch that.

What kind of cheese on that club sandwich?

American. Why don't you have soy cheese, Hazel? Because it tastes like bubble

wrap, Rudy.

How would you feel about going line dancing with me, Hazel?

Like a torture victim, Willie.

What's the soup of the day?

Manhattan clam chowder.

Really?

No.

Minestrone. Every day.

Which we've been over.

With the fat-free beans.

Yeah, sure, diet beans.

Diet beans, diet beans.

Hey,

I'm getting the hang of this.

Don't fall behind out there. Just go bust some tables, all right? You want me

to finish?

Let her go.

Go. Now, go.

You're late.

I went to the races in Laughlin.

You could have called.

I'm not a child, Mother.

No, you're an adult. And adults have consideration.

That's part of what makes them adults. Why are you hiding the side of your face

from me? I'm not.

Yes, you are. No, I'm not.

It was an accident.

Javier, you're in charge.

Mom, don't hurt him. His family's dangerous.

What is it? I don't know, Joy.

What happened?

It's a boyfriend.

It's a bad person.

Bad news.

Judge Janice?

Total screamer.

Dude, she's like 80.

Moaner. Nope, dude, screamer. I can always tell.

Yeah, like hell you can.

Hey, who's that?

Man, just keep your mouth shut.

Can I have a word?

I'm busy.

Won't take long.

But what is it?

Can we talk in my car?

Why can't we talk right here? Because I'd like to speak in private.

Well, what you say to me, you can say to old Conrad back there. Damn straight.

All right.

I came here to tell you that you are a walking argument for birth control and

you don't have the balls or the brains that God gave a field mouse.

And if you go near my daughter again, I will kill you and your entire in-birth

family. Are you done? Not even warmed up.

Well, Conrad here and me was just wondering if just by looking at a woman,

you can tell if she's a screamer, a moaner, or she lies there like she's

dead. Now, I'm of the opinion that a fine-looking cougar such as yourself has

got to be a world champion moaner.

Even though I personally have never been all up in your business to find out.

Can't say I haven't thought about it, though, Hazel. So, what is it, Cougar

Mama? Are you a screamer?

A moaner?

Are you dead?

What the hell?

Get up.

You're dead.

Get up. Bite me, bitch.

All right, all right, all right.

Get up.

You broke my nose, you bitch.

Yeah, I'm just getting started.

It'll be the last thing you ever do.

Turn.

Get in the car what don't go away car. I will shoot you in the face

It'll be still.

Come on, sunshine.

There you go.

You're all right.

There you go.

Look. That.

I know.

I know what you must be thinking.

What a bizarre coincidence that a grave dug to the exact dimensions of my body

is out here in the middle of the desert where nobody will ever find me.

No coincidence.

I dug this hole the first day we met because I knew this day would happen.

I knew you would hurt my daughter, and I knew that I would then have to kill you.

You know, people think it's easy digging a grave in the desert, but I'm here to

tell you that's bullshit. This took me two days.

There's nothing that a mother wouldn't do to protect her child from harm.

And you are harm.

hard to brave on your bitch ass, but I can't have two days

digging for naught.

So here's what we're going to do.

We're going to find out if you're a screamer, a moaner,

or deaf.

Please, please, please, you don't want to do this.

That's right baby girl, we're free.

Mama, I hope you find your familia.

I want to know what happened, Mom.

Travis and I exercised a robust exchange of ideas.

And?

And he's leaving the state immediately and will never go near you again.

No way.

Struck me a firmly slave.

Give me the keys to the Bronco. No.

They're working.

They're supposed to be. I have to find Travis.

No. You have to bust your table. Mom, what happened?

Travis said that he thought it would be best if he left California entirely.

You know who his family is, right?

They're criminals.

Like, violent criminals.

So be happy they're not your in-laws now.

They're gonna want me back. But I am not afraid of these people, and I'm gonna do

whatever I have to do to protect you. Then I'm going someplace where you can't

protect me.

That's your prerogative. Yeah, you're damn right it is. Language.

Volume. Did you even think for a microsecond how kicking Travis out of

the state would make me feel?

I don't want that.

What is our mantra?

Ouch.

Say it.

He raises a hand, I raise a fist.

He raises a fist, I raise a gun.

Words to live by, baby.

Yeah. You get the gold star for parenting.

Joy, it's my job to teach you how this world really is.

Like your mom did?

My childhood is my childhood, which will never be your childhood.

I love Travis. You don't object.

What about love?

That's funny coming from you, knowing that you've never loved anyone in your

entire life. I love you, Joy, more than you will ever know.

That's not what I mean.

You know it.

Everything good here?

Great.

You know that guy?

No.

My dog.

I'm a hobby. I love old diner.

Can I get you anything else?

That's it for coffee. Thanks.

Hey.

You all right?

Yeah.

Fresh air.

Bad dream.

You want to talk about it?

No. Not really.

Good night.

Hang on a sec.

Um... Joy seems to think that you're some homeless killer.

We all have our secrets.

Yeah, well, if yours come knocking on my diner door like that guy taking

pictures... Hey, I told you.

I don't know him.

Okay.

I'll make you a deal.

You tell me your secrets.

That's how you mind.

Well, that's a deal you don't want to make.

Look, I worked my ass off to build this place. I can't have trouble.

You're not going to get it.

Not for me.

Okay.

Good night.

Night.

Who are you? What were you doing at my diner this morning?

Freelance reporters are taking pictures of this watch lady.

Why? He killed his girlfriend.

Check the computer.

Drug driving accident in L.A.

2016.

He did it four years for manslaughter.

How is this news now?

Because before he crashed that car, your dishwasher was a famous heart surgeon.

Catch you in my diner again. I'll use your nuts for chili.

Hey, amigo.

Vámonos rápido.

Hang on, Javier.

Rapidísimo. Hold on.

Hey. The other day, you had a girl in your van.

What's that?

¿Qué? A girl in your van.

La muchacha de mi primo, my cousin, she's shy.

Bring her in next time.

Do you want to keep having this conversation or help me cook?

That dish is... I'll have the patty melt.

No, wait, scratch that.

How big is a patty in a patty melt?

Quarter pound. Cooked in vegetable oil?

Butter.

Boy, the dry races are better, eh? They're kind of life-changing.

Hey, could you do a kale salad?

Can you do an Irish shake?

What's the soup of the day?

What I'm really thinking is how I can never get you to go out with me.

I'm not inking your chain, Hazy.

I'm serious.

You might be surprised how good we get along.

I'm not talking permanent.

Just company, now and then.

Get a dog, Willie.

She didn't say no.

You knew it was wrong, you know.

Right away, you apologized.

Yeah, they do that.

Not a man won't happen again.

Mom, he's good.

He's so good.

You'd know if you just let yourself see it.

I'm sorry, baby, but good doesn't do that to somebody they love.

I gotta get out of here.

Yeah, okay, you can clock out.

I wish I could clock out of my life.

Hey, people talk like that.

Joy.

Joy. Leave me alone.

Bill. Well, hello, Hazel.

Long time.

I'd say about 20 years.

How you been?

Surviving.

Vaughn's out.

How?

One of the counts got reversed.

Okay, when?

Tomorrow night, 9 p.m.

I ain't played.

I'll be there.

Oh, I know you will.

Oh, and that Joy, huh?

She's a beautiful young lady.

You did real good there.

I'll see you soon.

Hey.

Hey. Did you eat?

Yes. Javier left some fried chicken for me. It was very good.

Very good.

Yeah, he's about... Is Joy still upset?

No.

Well, it's hard to let go of something you love.

Speaking from personal experience.

What are you guys talking about?

I'll let you ladies have your evening.

Good night. Good night, Joanne.

Good night.

What was that?

Feeling a little better?

Trying not to feel anything at all.

Okay, let's get something straight. I'm allowing you to talk.

Allowing me?

I don't need your permission.

Joy, you've had a shock.

But what's happened has happened. And the best way to get over it is to plan

for a better future. Because trust me, little girl, I want you to get out of

this town even more than you do. Oh, after keeping me in a cage my entire

life? Yes, I made you study.

You made me the weird girl that nobody wanted to talk to.

Except for Travis.

Oh, God. Well, I'm not going anywhere until I figure out what happened to

Travis.

Poop! He disappears, and he just leaves his truck and his business, and he

doesn't call me or his family or any of his friends?

You know, the only possibility that makes sense is what, Joy?

What?

Did you hurt him?

You don't actually believe that I could hurt someone, do you?

And for the record, I would do whatever I needed to to protect you. But I give

you my word, when I left Travis, he was very much alive and leaving California.

I believe you.

Thank you.

And I don't believe you.

I think he might be dead, Mom.

He's not worth it.

Joy, where are you going?

Joy!

Joy!

Thanks for texting me.

I needed to get out.

What happened to your eyes?

I fell.

Your face?

So have you talked to his family yet?

They hate me.

Racist douchebag.

I wonder if they'll make a missing persons report. I don't want the cops

getting involved with their shit.

Travis's dad is due in time.

So? They've all got records.

We were going to break away from all that.

You know, get our own place, make a new start.

God, Faith, I can't stop obsessing.

It's there right here.

Get in on this.

Okay.

Hey, Joy.

Let's go. I'm here to take you home.

Let's go.

Oh, you won, Lewis.

I don't mention it.

That was the most excitement I've seen on a night tour since, well, a long

time.

Griddle's going to be ready in about 30 if you want breakfast.

Actually, my partner and I really need to get back.

You know, paperwork.

Plus, my wife will have breakfast waiting for me, so...

This is good.

They used to make sandwiches with turkey, with potatoes.

Again, come.

Where's yours?

I have no time. I have to go casa. I'll see you tomorrow.

I have to go casa. Okay, adios.

Hey, see you out of here.

Hey, boss.

Mind if I join you?

Yeah, sure.

It's not the hell of a day today to be on the floor all by yourself.

You okay?

No, actually, I could use a quadruple bypass. Do you know of any good heart

surgeons?

I've been Googled.

You know that guy that was here the other day? The one taking pictures?

The one you said you didn't know?

Yeah.

He's a reporter.

And how do you know that?

I paid him a visit.

What do you mean you paid him a visit?

You do know him.

His father was a patient of mine, and he died on my table.

Walter blamed me for it like a dog on a bone. He just keeps tracking my name

through the mud.

You know, eventually I want to get my medical license reinstated, and the

medical boys are going to have an issue with this.

I had a conversation with him.

I might have persuaded him not to run it.

You know, the thing he never got right, they painted me as this rash, arrogant,

vain surgeon with a shiny career, a fancy car, a beautiful fiancee, but what

they never get right.

When I asked her to marry me, she said yes.

Hello?

It changed my life, and I was so happy.

And then in an instant, I just...

Boom.

I loved everything.

I'm sorry, Hazel. I had to mean to just take you down a dark road in my life, so

thank you for listening.

It's like doing me a favor.

Sure.

I could actually use a favor myself.

Yeah, anything.

I have to go to Vegas tonight.

For fun times?

No, I'm from there. It's never fun.

Joy, if she does anything or if anybody shows up that you think I need to know

about, will you please reach out?

Yeah, absolutely.

I should be back by breakfast.

Are you sure? You don't sound sure.

I'm sure.

I can never get out of Vegas fast enough.

I heard you were coming. I didn't believe it.

Well, that's not how you were in high school.

You were a lot smaller.

Yeah, I believe I was, yeah.

Arms out for me. Thanks.

All right.

Right on time, as always.

Well, well, well, my little girl, Hazel.

Welcome home.

Warms my heart like a microwave to see you. It's popping corn right now.

Congratulations on your release.

Who knew the world had little luck left in it? Sit.

You want a drink?

Uh, no thanks. No, no, no, no.

You want some of my good bourbon.

Celebrate our reunion.

Ever tell you where I found this little gemstone, Phil?

Remind me.

Squatting in an alley downtown, hooked on smack.

Servicing salesmen behind the El Cortez for ten bucks a pop.

What were you, sixteen?

Fifteen.

But I saw something in her.

Same as now.

No fear.

None.

Pure predator.

So I brought her home, cleaned her up, trained her for what she was born to do.

Man, did she prove me right.

Hey, Phil, where's the bourbon, huh?

My girl.

All those years, you never came to visit me.

Couldn't stand to see you in a cage.

Thanks for caring.

What do you want, Vaughn?

Our work continues.

Perry Gamble is in town.

I need him met.

You must know a dozen other contractors.

I've never known a contracting artist like you.

And there's no one else who can get closer to Perry.

I'm retired.

I'm rusty as hell. I got a bad back, bum feet.

Advance up front.

Per usual.

I can't do it.

I'm sorry.

I know I owe you big time, but I can't do it.

I won't.

You're worried about Joy.

A mother's instinct.

Her boyfriend's disappeared. She's emotionally unstable.

God forbid she does anything reckless.

That would be a tragedy.

I could never say no to you.

Perry's got a suite at the Ibis. He's only in town for a few nights, so you

have to move fast.

I don't have to tell you. There's no room for failure.

Then when have I ever failed you?

Good girl.

No, if I were that, I'd be no use to you.

Mr. Chen, Jerry Gamble, thank you for coming.

Let's talk on my street, all right?

Turn those off.

Thought you were a burglar.

It's the only place where there's no drama.

Do you want to meet him?

Yeah.

So, you made it home safe?

Fun times.

Have some.

Good stuff.

The hat.

That is the first alcohol I've had since the accident.

Oh, God, I'm so sorry.

No, no. I wanted to experience as much guilt.

And grief and self-loathing is possible without anything to take the edge off.

See, I'm sort of a champion at numbing my feelings.

In med school, it was a lithium.

No shit. For depression and anxiety.

I was a heroin addict.

Jesus.

When?

14, 15.

No shit.

Just wanted to escape.

Felt trapped.

escape, which is in an updraft.

I guess that's sort of what joy is feeling.

Well, that is a feeling that I do not want her to have.

That feeling can make a girl do horrible things.

Like what?

Well,

I've secured the presidential suite in hell.

Actually, I would say that the only good thing I've ever done is raise joy.

Yeah. You got sober?

Yeah.

How? How did you do that?

A benevolent master.

And then I ended up being a trap too.

There was a time that I felt free when I was raising joy and starting a business.

and the monsters were the ones that were locked up.

And you, how do you feel now?

It's okay, you know, the secrets are told in the dark.

They don't count in the daylight.

Good night, Hazel.

Oh, I forgot.

I got to grab this.

Okay. All right.

You promised not to pee.

No, it was before last night.

Yeah.

How'd you sleep?

Not long enough.

Yeah. Yeah, me neither.

Last night. It was awesome.

Yes, it was.

It was a first for me. First time having sex in your diner or first time having

sex with one of your dishwashers?

One of those.

How about you let me blow my first paycheck on you? Take you out.

Probably dinner.

Um, I can't. I have to go to Vegas again.

Okay. Well, then, another night then. Yeah, yeah, we'll see.

Mom. What?

Customers are coming in.

Okay.

I'm gonna... I'll see you in a second. Yeah.

The girl puts the silkiest piece of otoro on my tongue. I swear to God, the

best I had in my life.

Oh, shit.

Oh, my God.

Hazel. Barry Gamble.

Damn, woman.

What's it been?

A dog's age.

Ooh, damn.

Still fine, still mine?

You held up pretty fine yourself.

Girl, we gotta hang.

I got a suite upstairs, a view of the strip.

Um, I... I can't. I'm waiting for everyone.

It's girl's night out.

No. We got some serious catching up to do.

Baby.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah, we do.

Yeah, we do.

Come on. Okay.

Damn, you look good.

And then when you karate chap that kid in the throat.

You're not supposed to remember that.

You know what? Enough.

How is business?

A whole new world.

Yeah? Yeah. I'm almost completely legit.

You?

Legitimate? It's true.

Really?

On the inside.

I develop relationships with people who know people who have cash they need to

park somewhere.

Substantial cash.

So you're washing money?

Investing money.

Vegas is growing again.

Pesadians. Tech hubs.

Art complexes.

Growth needs cash.

And that's where I come in.

I am sort of a...

Matchmaker.

Sounds legit.

You and me.

Running and gunning.

Best times of my life.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Why did you leave?

What?

That night.

Our last night.

All those years ago, you just took off.

And I never heard from you again.

Until tonight.

I just had to change things.

Everything. I guess I can relate to that, but still.

We shared a lot.

You and me.

You can say that again.

I've never had anything like that since.

Me neither.

Then, why did you leave?

I mean, really.

Perry, I knew if I stayed, I wouldn't live to see 30.

I loved you, Hazel.

I loved you, too.

Ever since then, I've been trying to find that kind of connection again, but

I never have.

Me neither.

I'm busy.

If he knocks a second time. Yeah, go ahead.

Sorry, boss.

Mr. Chin, he wants you to join him. And he's insistent.

Tell him I'll be right there.

My biggest Chinese investor.

It's fine. Go. Do what you need to do.

Can I go run away?

I'll be back.

Okay.

All right, let's go.

How's the storage shed, Elliot?

It's comfy, Joy.

Thanks. Bet that's not the worst place you ever slept.

You would win that bet.

What's at the bottom of Elliot's list of craft pads?

Prison.

Mom,

did you know that he's been to prison?

Yeah. Can we drop it, please?

What crime?

Vehicular manslaughter.

Told you he could have killed someone.

It was an accident.

A drunken accident?

Yes, Joy.

I was drunk at the time of the accident and at the death of my then-fiancée.

Well, I'm sorry that that happened. Thanks.

I was a husky.

UW. I went there.

Really? Med school.

Right.

Elliot was a cardiothoracic surgeon in L.A.

prior to aforementioned accident.

Our dishwasher is a heart surgeon.

Bet you didn't see that coming, did you?

Joy was pre-med at UW.

For the eight months that she was there.

What happened? Why did you leave?

College is a joke?

College is a racket.

Exactly. See, what you got to do is you got to figure out that they're playing

you, and then you have to play them. If you want, I can teach you how to game

the entire pre-med curriculum, because once you learn that, then college is a

breeze.

Okay.

What made you want to be a doctor?

Um, I've always been broken.

And I thought that if I could fix other people, then I might be able to fix

myself.

Did that ever work?

Yeah.

For fleeting moments, it did.

What about you? Why do you want to be a doctor?

I want my life to matter.

What matters more than saving lives?

That's right.

When you're right, right.

Hey, Phil, you remember me telling you about a punk on the inside begging me

for protection?

Remind me.

He was so scared, he'd vomit just thinking about the showers.

Then he came to me.

He gave the word.

Nobody touched him. Not a finger.

What do you think would have happened without my protection?

Nothing good.

Right? Nothing good.

All that stuff?

Could still happen.

And worse.

I saved her goddamn life.

She would have died in that alley if not for me.

And now I need her in what? She goes straight?

I put you in there for a reason.

My reason.

You understand?

I understand.

I can't control her. You have to understand that.

Don't you tell me what I have to understand.

All I can do is... Just shut up.

Time's running out.

I need to know everything she does before she does everything.

You will.

Get him out of here, Phil.

Can I ask about something you don't like to talk about?

Sure.

Are you in money trouble?

What makes you ask?

These trips to Vegas.

No, honey.

That's just business.

What kind of business?

Old business.

Nothing to worry about.

You know, I do worry, even though I'll hate you until the day I die.

And I was thinking, if you need the college money... What? No.

It's just an old debt that I gotta pay back. That's all.

I thought so.

It was either money or a new man.

And it must be money, seeing how you and Elliot are such happy little bang

buddies.

Young lady, don't even. It's so obvious.

How? Oh, for one thing, you can't keep your eyes off his ass.

Well, screw it off.

It is.

Joy. It is.

But it's not like you to mix work with pleasure.

That can get messy, and you...

Hate clutter.

It's not messy yet.

Have you given any more thought to what you said about you going back to school?

Well, it's not like there's anything keeping me here.

So, is that a yes?

Don't get your hopes up.

I just haven't rolled it out yet.

We'll see you in there.

See ya.

He made it to Malay today.

Then you know what I'm having?

Hey, Hazel, how many people coming through here every day would you say you

know personally?

Probably half, maybe a little more. Why?

We can multiple report the young girls going there.

You know, coyotes bringing them over to join their families in the areas and the

girls never showing up.

What do you think's going on?

I don't know.

Could be a lot of people.

None of them good.

Yeah, hang on.

Javi, I see a little missing girl.

It's very sad.

These girls, they need to be protected.

Did you see anything suspicious?

No, I got your number.

Thanks.

Thanks for waiting.

Something to drink?

No.

Well, one's just got a whole lot prettier, Joey.

You were here the other day.

You know my mom.

We go way back.

Way back to what?

I got this.

We'll need to check.

Introduce me to your friend.

And two needs to be clear.

Nice meeting you.

Yeah.

I assume you have a message for me.

Vaughn just wants me to remind you that Perry leaves town tomorrow morning.

Boy, you can remind him that I've never failed to do a job. Ever.

He'll be glad to hear that.

Joy seems to be doing a lot better.

Joy's none of your business.

Oh, well.

You see, that's where you're wrong.

Joy's very much my business.

Until the job gets done.

Clock's ticking, Hazel.

Hey, Joy.

This is for you.

Nice to meet you.

What did that guy want?

No. I'm a jerk at high school.

Hey.

Hazel.

Hey. What? What do you want? Can I help? No.

You can't. All right. Do you want to talk about it?

No, I don't.

I need to think.

I just need to think.

You know, I'm not your enemy. You know that, right?

Well, I don't know that you're my friend. In fact, I don't know you at

all. Actually, you know a lot more about me than I know about you. I can't help

that. I'm not as notorious.

Whatever that guy said to you inside, don't take it out on me.

I warned you, I'm not always so nice. Yeah, well, you weren't kidding.

Okay.

You want to know about me? Yeah.

I am cold, I am calculating, I never drop a grudge, and I always have an exit

plan. Everything that I care about is in there.

Joy, Javier, the people that I see every day, this place that I made here.

And I have to protect the people that I love.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah Any luck it'll be the last

Look at me.

I'm not going anywhere

Yeah, yeah.

Hey.

Can I sleep?

Wow.

You look hot.

I can't. I have to leave now.

It's late.

Why are you going now?

Well, the guy that I work for sometimes keeps odd hours, so... Listen, Joy's

really thinking about going back to school, and I wanted to thank you for

that.

Whatever you think you have to do, don't do it. I can't. I don't have a

choice.

And this, it's very sweet, but it's not happening again.

It's good.

And it's messy.

And I can't have clutter.

You're the boss.

Exactly.

Hey. Yep.

She's on the line.

Tell me about this up.

Okay. Thanks.

Get away.

The boss doesn't want to be the third.

I'm his wife.

Baby, think you could surprise me?

Who snitched?

Nobody can keep secrets from the boss.

You really set this up for me?

Baby, baby, baby, baby.

It's all four.

He said he wanted to see me.

All right.

You know the drill. Yeah.

The hell, Hazel?

Hazel, really?

Let me get a bourbon, Philly.

It's hazel.

Pick it up. I got it.

No, no, no!

Hazel, what are you doing?

Come on, honey, we can work this out, huh?

After all we've been through, it can't come down to this.

You're my girl, right?

I am finally going to be free of you.

We're a good team.

A great team.

Don't let you... Don't let... Your emotions take you down the wrong path.

The right path.

The only path.

You need me, Hazel.

You'd be dead a long time ago without me. And I'm the only one that's going to

be there when you slide back into the ship. And you know you will.

You think Joy's going to stick around?

Or Elliot?

Elliot worked for me.

You don't believe me? You can ask him.

I own him like I own you.

You don't own me.

This is for mom.

And this is for Joy.

And this is for me.

I saved your life.

The only good thing that came out of what you made me is that I can do this

and still live with myself.

Dad.

Hey, morning.

Buenos dias. Buenos dias.

How are you?

How much do I have to pay you before you get a new van?

That one runs bien.

How long have you been working for me?

16... No, 17 years.

Yeah. Since my youngest was five.

Since Joy was two.

I want to buy you a new set of tires. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Yeah.

Good loyalty.

You don't have to.

They don't.

But I can.

After all, we don't have loyalty. What do we have?

Honey, you don't have to do breakfast. I got it. That's okay.

You had a long night and everything.

How'd it go?

Good.

What about that debt?

Paid in full.

Can you sleep?

No.

Will you ever tell me about it someday?

Sure.

No, you won't. No.

Hey, Mom. Yeah?

Can I borrow the bronco?

Now? Some friends want me to come over.

It won't be long.

What about Fred?

I'll have the Denver omelet.

No way to scratch that.

Now, on the Denver omelet, can I substitute the ham for wheat germ?

If you hate yourself.

How would you like to go to a John Denver concert with me, Hazel?

I'd like that, Willie.

Really? Because John Denver's dead.

Oh, right.

Was the Denver omelet invented in Denver?

Phoenix. Get out of here.

Uh-huh.

In 1862, Union General Wade Jefferson Denver created the Denver omelet in

Phoenix, Arizona.

I'll be damned.

I made that up.

Why would you do that?

To spice up the day. I don't know.

How about a Kenny Rogers concert?

Also dead.

Of course. What's wrong with me? Can you do an egg white omelet, Hazel? I could,

Rudy, but I choose not to.

Toby Keith is alive.

His music sucks.

I do not know what I want.

Me neither. Me neither.

Okay.

For the first time ever, we are going to introduce breakfast roulette. That's

where I choose your meal at random and you accept the result without complaint.

Okay?

Okay.

Willie, sausage scramble.

Rudy, blueberry pancakes.

Last but not least, Carl.

Bacon and egg sandwich. No substitutions.

No work.

Sure, yeah.

Sounds good.

Where's Javier?

He went out back a while ago.

You and I are going to need to talk. It's time for today.

I got you.

You're going to have to trust me, okay?

I know.

Okay.

Yeah, you're going to have to trust me. I'm going to put pressure here.

I'm going to put pressure here.

I got you.

I got you.

Stay with me. Right here, live with me.

Yeah.

Look at me.
