A CONTAINER OF CIGARETTES IS
WORTH 2.4 MILLION U.S. DOLLARS.

IN FACT, THEIR FACTORY
IN CHINA CAN PRODUCE

ONE CONTAINER A WEEK.

WITH THE MONEY THEY'RE
GOING TO RAISE FROM THE IPO,

THEY INTEND
TO OPEN THREE FACTORIES.

DO I NEED TO ASK YOU HOW
MUCH RUTLEDGE INTENDS TO MAKE

IN A YEAR OUT
OF CIGARETTES?

SO, WHAT'S THE CATCH?

WE'RE ON SHAKY GROUND AS TO
WHETHER IT CAN GO THROUGH OR NOT.

WELL, IF YOU'RE LOOKING
TO KEEP MORE

OF RUTLEDGE'S PERSONAL VIEWS
UNDER WRAPS,

I THINK THAT TRAIN'S ALREADY
LEFT THE STATION.

NO ONE CARES ABOUT
RUTLEDGE'S RACIST RANTS

OR HIS ULTRA-CONSERVATIVE
POLITICAL TANGENTS.

WE'RE MORE CONCERNED
ABOUT HIS GRANDSON, EARL.

WHAT ABOUT HIM?

WELL, A FEW MONTHS AGO HE
WAS OUT IN XI'AN ON A TOUR.

LONG STORY SHORT ONE OF THE GIRLS
DID NOT GET BACK ON THE BUS.

A FEW OF THE TOURISTS SAID
THAT SHE WAS LAST SEEN WITH HIM

AND THE LOCAL POLICE TOOK
HIM IN FOR QUESTIONING,

BUT LUCKILY HE WAS RELEASED
AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS

UNDER PRESSURE
FROM THE EMBASSY.

SO WHAT'S THIS GOT TO DO
WITH THE IPO?

WELL, LAST WEEK THEY FOUND

WHAT WE THINK ARE HER
REMAINS NEAR THE SITE.

THEY'RE DOING A DNA
TEST NOW

BUT SOME ENTERPRISING JOURNALIST
HAS ALREADY CONNECTED THE DOTS

BETWEEN THE GRANDSON
AND THE CEO.

SHE WANTS TO CALL
A HALT TO THE IPO

UNTIL HE'S EXTRADITED TO CHINA
TO FACE MURDER CHARGES.

SHE'LL KILL THE IPO PRESS
IF SHE DOES.

THAT'S WHY IT'S CRITICAL
THAT WE KEEP HER QUIET.

THIS IS A HUGE ACCOUNT
FOR THIS COMPANY

AND NOT TO MENTION
YOUR BONUSES.

HONESTLY, WE ARE MAXED OUT
ON OUR WORKLOAD.

LIAM, LIAM,
I DO NOT LIKE WHAT I'M HEARING.

HEY OLI, OLI, OLI,
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

WE'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.

FANTASTIC.

HEY, LIAM,
YOU STILL THERE?

YEAH.
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?

YEAH, I KNOW.
HE'S SUCH A DIRT RAG.

HEY, LISTEN, I COULD TAKE THIS
ONE FOR YOU IF YOU WANT.

NO. NO.

YOU GOT THE LAST ONE.

- I'LL SET UP THE MEETING.
- ALL RIGHT.

USUAL TONIGHT?

SURE. HEY, THANKS
FOR COVERING ME TODAY.

HEY, NO PROBS.

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

YEAH,
EVERYTHING'S FINE.

I JUST NEED TO TAKE CARE
OF SOME LONG OVERDUE ERRANDS.

GREAT. CATCH YOU
LATER THEN, BUD. CIAO.

ALL DONE?

I GOT TO GO.

HOW SOON?

I'M ALREADY LATE.

DRINKS LATER?

I'LL TEXT YOU
IF I'M FREE.

I WAS BEGINNING
TO THINK YOU WEREN'T COMING.

HEY, MISS MAO SAID YOU'RE
LATE ON THE RENT AGAIN.

I WILL HAVE IT SOON.

I TOOK CARE OF IT.

LIAM...

IT'S DONE.

IT FEELS LIKE
ICICLES IN HERE.

YOU'LL FEEL BETTER
WHEN YOU READ BOOKS.

THOSE'LL HAVE YOU
BACK TO NORMAL.

HOW'S WORK?

IT'S ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO
BE EXTRA SWAMPED WITH A CLIENT.

WHICH ONE?

RUTLEDGE TOBACCO.

A CIGARETTE COMPANY?

WHAT DO THEY WANT YOU
TO DO FOR THEM?

THE USUAL.

BILL THEM FOR MY TIME.

WELL DON'T WORK TOO HARD.

YOU SHOULD REALLY
MOVE IN WITH ME.

I'D REMEMBER THAT SERVICE
APARTMENT OF YOURS

HAVING A SECOND BEDROOM.

WHEN MY EXIT PACKAGE RUNS OUT.

WE'LL GET A PLACE
WITH AT LEAST TWO BEDROOMS.

HMM.

WE'LL SEE.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED
TO MEET ANYONE

IF I'M LIVING
WITH MY BABY BROTHER?

WELL, THE ONLY REASON
HE'S NEVER FACED TRIAL

IS BECAUSE
OF HIS POWERFUL GRANDFATHER.

I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO
SPECULATE ABOUT THIS KID'S GUILT.

HE WAS THE LAST ONE
SEEN WITH HER.

ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GET DOWN TO THIS.

THE COMPANY IS WILLING TO OFFER
YOU SOMETHING IN EXCHANGE.

OH, SO IS THIS
WHAT YOU DO?

SOMETIMES.

MY GOD! AND YOU THINK
I AM THAT EASY?

NO, I DON'T THINK THAT.

BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO
GIVE YOU A VIABLE WAY OUT.

WHAT IF I DON'T
WANT ONE?

COME ON. YOU'RE DIGGING
FOR SOMETHING

THAT MAY NOT EVEN BE TRUE.

WHAT'S THERE TO GAIN?

IF THEY CAN GET AWAY
WITH THIS COVER-UP,

JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT ELSE
THEY CAN BE HIDING.

LISTEN, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
TRYING TO FIGHT FOR HERE...

OH, RIGHT. DO YOU?

YEAH. YEAH,
SOME BIG TOBACCO COMPANY,

THEY'RE RAISING MONEY
FOR AN IPO,

THEY'RE GOING
TO BUILD SOME FACTORIES

AND MAYBE PROMOTE
LUNG CANCER, WHATEVER.

OH, AND IT'S OKAY TO YOU

TO JUST USE ANY MEANS NECESSARY
TO GET WHAT YOU WANT?

WHATEVER YOU THINK.
IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT

THAT DAVID DOESN'T WIN
VERSUS GOLIATH HERE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.

YOU KNOW, THIS HAS
BEEN A GOOD MEETING.

MISS HONG. MISS, HONG
LET'S TALK THIS OUT.

WHAT IS THERE
TO TALK ABOUT?

YOU ALREADY SAID
WHAT YOU THINK.

YEAH, AND DON'T FAULT ME
FOR THAT.

LET'S SAY YOU WRITE
THIS STORY OF YOURS,

THEY'RE GOING TO STEAMROLL
YOU AND ANYONE YOU CARE ABOUT.

COMES WITH THE TERRITORY,
REALLY.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
THEN DO ME A FAVOR,

GET SOME CONCRETE
EVIDENCE FIRST.

YEAH, I SURE WILL.

EXCUSE ME.
I WAS HERE FIRST.

I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T...

SEE ME? RIGHT.
I'VE HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE.

WAIT! GREAT! NOW,
LOOK WHAT YOU DID.

ME? THE CAB STOPPED FOR ME.

BECAUSE YOU COMPLETELY IGNORED
ME AND WALKED IN FRONT OF ME.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I SAID I'M SORRY.

OH, DAMN!

WHERE YOU GOING?

CENTRAL.

SO AM I. WE COULD TAKE
THE FERRY.

NO, THANKS.

TECHNICALLY,
IT SHOULD BE FASTER.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU.

I CAN FIX THAT.

I'M LIAM.

YAN.

YOU'RE NOT A FREAK, ARE YOU?

WELL, I DID ALMOST TRY
TO STEAL YOUR CAB.

I'M KIDDING.
I THINK IT'S THIS WAY.

IT'S COLD OUT HERE.

YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS.

OH, NOW YOU WANT
TO BE A GENTLEMAN?

JUST TAKE IT.

SO YOU NORMALLY ON THE
DARK SIDE OF HONG KONG?

KOWLOON? REALLY?

I HAVE THIS NEW CLIENT TO MEET
AND SHE INSISTED ON TST.

WHAT A PAIN.

NOW I GOT TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK
TO CENTRAL TO CATCH MY SEMINAR.

ON WHAT?

WINES.

I LOVE WINE.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE?

A BIG FAN OF RIESLINGS.

KIND OF
A SUNLAND GRAPE.

I USED TO GO TO THIS WINERY
IN UPSTATE NEW YORK,

THEY GOT REALLY
GREAT RIESLINGS.

SPATLESE?

- AUSLESE.
- TOO SWEET.

I'M A LATE HARVEST
CABERNET SORT OF GUY.

YOU?

GOT ONE?

- YEAH.
- COME ON.

WELL, I DO HAVE
THIS GREAT CHILDHOOD MEMORY

OF A 1949 BORDEAUX.

THAT'S AN EXPENSIVE
BOTTLE OF WINE.

OH, QUITE.

20,000 30,000
HONGKIES.

AT LEAST.

YOU MUST COME
FROM A RICH FAMILY.

HARDLY.

SO HOW DID YOU GET
A TASTE OF ONE?

WHILE I WAS WORKING
FOR MY UNCLE

AT HIS CONVENIENCE STORE
IN NEW YORK,

AND SOMEHOW THIS BOTTLE
OF BORDEAUX

GOT WRONGLY SHIPPED TO US.

I'VE DECIDED TO OPEN IT
THINKING NO ONE WOULD FIND OUT.

SIX MONTHS LATER,
MY UNCLE FOUND AN INVOICE.

HE WAS SO ANGRY AT ME.

IT TOOK ME TWO LONG SUMMERS
TO PAY FOR IT.

THAT'S A LONG TIME TO PAY
FOR ONE BOTTLE OF WINE.

WORTH EVERY SIP...

IF ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME.

SO, ARE YOU FROM NEW YORK?

ORIGINALLY FROM SHANGHAI.

OH!

I FORGOT HOW BEAUTIFUL
IT IS ON THE FERRY.

THANKS FOR MAKING ME
TAKE IT.

IT WAS NOTHING.

SO I'M SURPRISED
SOMEONE SO WELL-DRESSED

WOULD TAKE PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION.

OH, IT'S GOOD EXERCISE
AND CHEAPER.

SHITTY ETIQUETTE INSTRUCTORS
DON'T MAKE ENOUGH?

THERE'S AN OPEN-MIKE THIS
WEEKEND FOR STAND-UP COMEDIANS.

I'M GOING TO SIGN YOU UP.

SO WHAT DO YOU DO?

GUESS.

WELL, YOU LOOK
LIKE ONE OF THOSE GUYS

I SEE AT THE GYM... RELIGIOUS
ABOUT BEATING THEIR TIME

EVERY DAY ON THE TREADMILL
EVEN THOUGH MOST OF THEM

PLATEAUED MONTHS AGO AND
WON'T ADMIT IT TO THEMSELVES.

I HATE RUNNING.

THEN HOW DO YOU KEEP FIT?

RIDE THE BIKE. DO YOU RIDE?

ACTUALLY, I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO RIDE A BIKE.

- OH, HOW COME?
- I NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO.

SO YOU'RE NOT A DOCTOR.

WHY? I DON'T LOOK LIKE
I COULD SAVE SOME LIVES?

WELL, YOU'RE DEFINITELY
NOT A MODEL. HEH.

OUCH.

- THAT HURTS.
- OKAY, OKAY.

SOMETHING FINANCE RELATED.

NOT TOO FAR OFF BUT THIS
IS HONG KONG AFTER ALL.

LAWYER.

- SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
- OH, YOU POOR THING.

WHAT? WOULDN'T BEING A LAWYER
AT LEAST SEMI-IMPRESS YOU?

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT
KIND OF LAWYER YOU ARE.

WELL, IT WAS A PLEASURE.

YOU TOO.

I'LL SEE YOU.

YEAH.

SEE YOU.

RIGHT.

SOPHIE,
CAN YOU HOOK ME UP

WITH TWO MORE
OF THOSE MIND-BLOWING SHOTS

THAT I LOVE SO MUCH?
I'M EXPECTING FRIENDS.

SPEAK OF THE DEVIL,
THERE HE IS. LIAM!

- HEY.
- OH, MY GOD!

YOU MISSED THE "GONG SHOW."

JOHN JUST GOT
PUNCHED IN THE FACE BY A CHICK.

WHAT?
WHAT HAPPENED?

YEAH, SOMEHOW HE GOT
INTO AN ARGUMENT WITH HER

ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT
HER TITTIES WERE REAL.

AND?

WELL, SO HE GRABS THEM
AND THEN BOOM.

WHERE IS HE NOW?

HE'S IN THE CAN
TRYING TO STOP A NOSEBLEED.

OH, CAN YOU BELIEVE
THIS CHICK?

EVERY MINUTE INCESSANTLY
TEXTING ME. CHECK IT OUT.

- JESUS.
- NOT BAD, HUH?

YEAH, NOT BAD AT ALL.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT GIRL JADE
THAT YOU'RE WITH LAST NIGHT?

SHE HAD PLANS.

THAT'S TOO BAD. WHOA!

- MY GOODNESS.
- I THOUGHT YOU WERE KIDDING.

OH, YOU CAN'T MAKE
THIS SHIT UP.

YOU ALL RIGHT THERE, PADRE?

I'M FINE. I'M FINE.

EW.

DO YOU WANT
TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT?

I THINK YOU'RE OKAY.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT
REPORTER YOU'RE TALKING TO?

HEY, I TOLD YOU.

WE COME HERE TO FORGET
ABOUT WORK.

NOT RELIVE IT.

HOLD ON. WE GOT
TO DOCUMENT THIS.

EXCUSE ME, MISS?

HELLO, YOU ARE A LOOKER.

DO YOU MIND TAKING A PICTURE
OF MY FRIENDS AND I?

YEAH, SURE.

MY NAME IS CHAD BY THE WAY.

- TERESA.
- TERESA.

YOU ARE JUST LOVELY.

NICE, BRO.

JUST PRESS THIS BUTTON?

THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO DO,
SWEETHEART.

OKAY. SAY CHEESE.

BLOODY FUCKING NOSE.

FUCK YOU.

SHE WENT TO A LOCAL SCHOOL
HERE IN HONG KONG

AND THEN ATTENDED
A UNIVERSITY IN KL,

JOINED THE PEACE CORPS
AFTERWARDS

AND THEN DECIDED
JOURNALISM WAS HER CALLING.

HMM.
THE GIRL MUST BE LOADED.

WHO COULD MAKE A LIVING OFF
OF BEING A JOURNALIST NOWADAYS?

SHE SEEMS TO SCRAPE BY
ON HER EARNINGS.

WHAT ELSE YOU GOT,
JOHN?

SHE'S GOT THIS LITTLE BOY
SHE'S FIGHTING FOR CUSTODY OVER.

- AND?
- AND I KNOW THE JUDGE.

SO WE COULD PUT IN A CALL.

WHAT ABOUT THE GRANDSON EARL?

I HAVE SOME FRIENDS
WHO KNEW HIM.

IT TURNS OUT HE'S A COMPLETE
DOUCHEBAG, BUT KILLER?

I'M NOT SO SURE.

HOW ABOUT
THE DNA TESTING?

LAST I HEARD IT'S GOING
TO BE DONE IN SEVERAL WEEKS.

DOESN'T A TEST
TAKE ONLY A FEW HOURS?

ACCORDING TO OUR EXPERT YES,

BUT THEY HAD TO RUN INDEPENDENT
PROFILES ON EACH SET.

IN ORDER TO DO THAT THEY HAVE TO
REPLICATE THE ENTIRE DNA SAMPLE.

AND THERE ARE SEVERAL METHODS
FOR THEM TO DO THAT.

OKAY, YEAH.
WE GET THE PICTURE.

IT'S ACTUALLY
MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE,

BUT IT'S GOOD FOR OUR CASE.

OH, AND THE TEST?

IT'S AT THE VERY BOTTOM
OF A VERY LONG QUEUE.

MAYBE THAT'S BETTER.

IT'LL DEFINITELY BE DONE
BEFORE THE IPO.

A LOT OF THINGS ARE GOING
TO BE DONE BEFORE THE IPO.

MORE TO LEASE?

THE BOSS SAYS THAT OUR VALUE
OF SHARES IS HIGHER NOW.

HOW MUCH LONGER
ARE WE TALKING?

I'M THINKING NINE,
MAYBE 12 MONTHS LONGER.

SO DO WE GET THE ACCOUNT
FROM THEM THEN?

NO. OLI'S STILL CHASING.

FUCK.

GUYS, IF I COULD ADD
ONE OTHER SCENARIO.

PLEASE.

THE WAY I SEE IT,
THERE'S TWO OPTIONS.

ONE, WE GET HER TIED UP
IN THIS CHILD CUSTODY BATTLE.

OR TWO,
WE CUT HER LOOSE

AND HOPE THAT SHE DOESN'T
PUBLISH THE STORY.

YEAH, THIS BITCH WRITES A STORY
AND WE'RE ALL FUCKED.

YEAH, I SAY WE CALL THE JUDGE
AND DISTRACT THE SHIT OUT OF HER.

- WE CAN'T DO THAT.
- WHY NOT?

- BECAUSE.
- HOW MANY OF THESE CASES HAVE WE HANDLED BEFORE?

I JUST DON'T SEE THE POINT IN MESSING
WITH THE KID'S CHANCE OF HAVING A MOTHER.

BOO FUCKING HOO. I DON'T GIVE A
RAT'S ASS ABOUT HER, ALL RIGHT?

I KNOW WHO I CARE ABOUT.
IT'S YOU AND IT'S JOHN.

WE'RE A TEAM. WE'RE GOING TO
END UP ON UNEMPLOYMENT BODY BAGS

IF WE CUT THIS BITCH SOME SLACK.

YOU KNOW,
OLIVER MADE IT VERY CLEAR

HOW IMPORTANT THIS CASE IS.

WITHOUT THE DNA CONFIRMED
SHE'S GOT NOTHING?

TRUE.
NO HARD EVIDENCE, NO STORY.

BUT WE COULD WAIT UNTIL THE
DNA EVIDENCE IS CONFIRMED.

YOUR CASE, YOUR CALL.

I'D LIKE TO WAIT.
I MEAN, WHAT?

IT'S BEEN ABOUT A MONTH.

MAYBE SHE'S MOVED ON.

FINE.

BUT FOR THE RECORD,
LET ME TELL YOU THIS.

I DON'T LIKE IT.

I DON'T LIKE IT ONE BIT.

I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE.

THIS SCENARIO IS NOT
GOING TO END WELL.

YOU LOOK GOOD, LIAM.

YOU TOO.

SO YOU WANT TO SPEAK
TO ME ABOUT SOMETHING?

I SHOULD JUST GO AHEAD
AND SAY THIS.

I'M PREGNANT.

WHEN DID YOU FIND OUT?

A FEW WEEKS AGO.

AND YOU'RE JUST
TELLING ME NOW?

I HAD TO CHECK IN WITH
A COUPLE OF OTHER PEOPLE

TO MAKE SURE IT WAS YOU.

YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?

THE DOCTOR SAYS
THAT I'M 12 WEEKS.

I WAS THE MOST RECKLESS
WITH YOU.

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN
MORE CAREFUL.

BUT I'M WILLING TO MAKE
THIS WORK BETWEEN US.

THIS ISN'T
AN OPEN DISCUSSION.

SORRY?

I'M TAKING CARE OF IT.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

DO I HAVE
TO SPELL THIS OUT TO YOU?

AN ABORTION.

- ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?
- YES, I'M SURE.

GOD...

WAIT, YOU DIDN'T... NO.

YOU DIDN'T THINK THAT I WAS
GOING TO USE THIS... GOD!

I AM NOT THAT GIRL.

YOU AND I HAD FUN,
BUT I'M SO NOT READY TO SETTLE DOWN.

AND NO OFFENSE,
BUT I CAN DO BETTER.

THANKS FOR BEING HONEST.

DON'T TAKE THIS PERSONALLY.

BUT MY GIRLFRIEND JULIE
FOUND A GUY

WHO TAKES HER TO PARIS
JUST TO SHOP AT CHAMPS-LESI.

IT'S CHAMPS-ELYSEES.

- WHAT?
- NEVER MIND.

LOOK, YOU'RE JUST NOT
IN THAT LEAGUE.

AND I KNOW I HAD THE LOOKS
TO FIND SOMEONE OF THAT CALIBER.

SO WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

JUST 50,000 HONGKIES
TO GET IT DONE.

- I HOPE THAT'S OKAY.
- AN ABORTION COST THAT MUCH?

WELL, I'M GOING TO TREAT
MYSELF TO A NEW HANDBAG

THAT I'VE BEEN
EYEING AFTERWARDS.

IT'LL MAKE ME FEEL BETTER
WHILE I RECOVER.

ANYTHING YOU NEED.

COME ON, PIA.

- LIAM!
- HI, EMILY.

HEY, LIAM, SO GOOD
OF YOU TO COME.

COME, PIA.

- THIS IS FOR YOU.
- HEY, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE.

THANK YOU.
LET ME JUST PUT THIS HERE.

THERE'S SOMEONE I'VE BEEN
MEANING TO INTRODUCE YOU TO.

OKAY. HEY, SORRY I'M LATE.

HEY, NO PROBLEM.

LIAM, THIS IS ANGELA.

- HI.
- NICE TO MEET YOU.

ANGELA HAS HER
OWN JEWELRY STORE.

AND THIS IS YAN
AND HER BOYFRIEND MITCHELL.

MOM.

MOM, YOU GOT TO CHECK
THIS OUT.

EXCUSE ME,
EVERYONE.

- EMILY.
- COME ON!

I'M LIAM.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

WE'VE MET BEFORE,
HAVEN'T WE?

YES, A FEW CASES
I'M AFRAID.

OF COURSE, A NEW YORKER.

RUTGER-BARNET
AND ASSOCIATES, RIGHT?

REMIND ME, WHICH LAW SCHOOL
DID YOU GO TO?

IT WASN'T YALE,
PENN OR ONE OF TOP ONES, WAS IT?

SOME MIGHT SAY THE HARVARD
OF THE PROLETARIAT.

- THE WHAT?
- RUTGERS LAW IN NEWARK.

I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT.
WHAT'S A PROLETARIAT?

IT MEANS WAGE OWNER
OR LABORER.

OH.

I THINK I WAS INTERRUPTING
A CONVERSATION.

I'M JUST GOING TO...

OH, NO, NO, NO.
PLEASE, PLEASE.

WE'RE JUST SAYING THAT

IF THE MAINLAND HAD MARCHED
INTO HONG KONG INSTEAD

OF MAKING A DEAL WITH THE
BRITISH FOR THE HANDOVER,

I MEAN WHAT'S TO SAY,
IT WASN'T IN OUR RIGHT?

I WAS MAKING THE POINT THAT CHINA DID A
DEAL WITH THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.

NOT ONLY WOULD THERE BE
MASSIVE UPROAR HERE IN HONG KONG

BUT EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY

AROUND THE WORLD WHICH HAS
AN AGREEMENT WITH CHINA,

WE HAVE NO GUARANTEE
THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP IT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I HATE POLITICS.
BETTER I DON'T...

NO, ACTUALLY,
I'D QUITE LIKE TO HEAR YOUR OPINION,

THAT'S IF YOU GOT ONE
OF COURSE.

WELL, I THINK SINCE
YOU PUT IT THAT WAY,

I THINK YOU'RE BEING,

WHAT'S THE WORD,
SLIGHTLY PRESUMPTUOUS.

NOT TO MENTION YOU
ARE REGURGITATING

MARGARET THATCHER'S
ARTICLE OFF WIKIPEDIA.

I'M SORRY?

GO ON.

WELL, TAKE JAPAN.

THEY COULD'VE MARCHED
IN HONG KONG IN A DAY,

BUT WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
IF CHINA GETS HONG KONG NOW

OR 100 YEARS FROM NOW?

SEE, HE SETTLED BECAUSE
IT'D BE LESS TIME AND MONEY.

AND EVENTUALLY CHINA
WOULD GET WHAT IT WANTED.

THAT'S NOT THE REAL
ISSUE HERE, IS IT?

- IT'S NOT?
- NO, OF COURSE NOT.

THIS IS A QUESTION
OF NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY.

SEE, WHO ARE WE AMERICANS
OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY

TO CHALLENGE A COUNTRY TAKING
BACK WHAT'S ORIGINALLY THEIRS?

I MEAN THAT'S JUST
LIKE CHALLENGING ABRAHAM LINCOLN

OVER THE CIVIL WAR.

I'M GOING TO GET
SOME WARMER AIR.

YEAH.

YOU'VE GOT A REAL FLARE
FOR ENDING CONVERSATIONS.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

DON'T BE.

MITCH CAN BE
QUITE PRETENTIOUS.

SOMETIMES TO DIVORCE YOUR REAL
OPINIONS FROM WORK LIFE LONG ENOUGH,

THEY COME RUSHING AT YOU
LIKE A DROP OF A HAT.

WHY HAVE A JOB THAT
REQUIRES YOU TO DO THAT?

I COULDN'T THINK OF A PROFESSION
THAT PAID WELL ENOUGH,

SO I WENT TO LAW SCHOOL.

TELL ME SOMETHING, I THOUGHT
YOU DIDN'T DATE LAWYERS.

I NEVER SAID THAT.

BESIDES, YOU NEVER ASKED.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

I SHOULD HAVE.

WHY DIDN'T YOU?

I WAS PLANNING TO...

BUT YOU GOT
IN THE CAB TOO FAST.

TOO LATE.

YOU DID SEND ME AWAY.

ANYWAYS,
YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND.

MITCH?

OH, NO,
HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND.

HE'S NOT?

WE'VE BEEN ON A FEW DATES.

WHY DIDN'T YOU
CORRECT OLIVIA?

I THINK THIS IS WHERE
I SAY I PLEAD THE FIFTH.

ARE YOU HUNGRY?

HMM. I'M FAMISHED.

I'M SURPRISED YOU HAVE
SUCH AN ADMIRATION

FOR A CONFIRMED
COMMUNIST.

WELL, IT'S NOT
IDEOLOGY I ADMIRE,

IT'S HIS ABILITY TO MANEUVER
THROUGH IT AT SUCH TOUGH TIMES.

MY DAD USED TO SAY THIS
OLD CHINESE PROVERB.

"NOTHING IS SOFTER OR MORE
FLEXIBLE THAN WATER,

YET NOTHING CAN RESIST IT."

I KNOW WHO
ALSO WHO SAID THAT.

- WHO?
- BRUCE LEE.

BE LIKE WATER, MY FRIEND.

RIGHT.

OH, YEAH.

AREN'T THOSE GARLIC SHRIMP
TO DIE FOR?

MAKE SURE TO DRINK MORE BEER SO
YOU DON'T GET THE RUNS LATER ON.

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY,
I DID FEEL A RUMBLE IN MY TUMMY.

EWW! GOOD THING WE DIDN'T
ORDER THE RAW OYSTERS.

OH, THAT WAS SO GOOD.

I'M SO GLAD
WE LEFT THE PARTY.

TOTALLY. AND I'M FULL.

I AM REALLY FULL.

THANKS FOR WALKING
ME HOME.

I WAS GOING TO SAY ACTUALLY,
CAN I USE YOUR TOILET?

'CAUSE MY STOMACH
DOES NOT FEEL SO...

NICE TRY.
DIDN'T YOU JUST GO?

I'LL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE.

IT'LL BE REALLY QUICK.

OH, I THOUGHT YOU
LAST LONGER.

OH, NICE.

THANKS FOR TONIGHT.

I'M NOT SLEEPING
WITH YOU TONIGHT.

THEN I HAVE
A SLIGHT CHANCE THEN.

A VERY SMALL ONE.

GOOD NIGHT.

COME ON, ONE MORE TIME.

YOU GOT IT. YOU GOT IT.

- OH.
- YEAH, YEAH.

OKAY, KEEP GOING.
ALL RIGHT.

I'M GOING TO LET GO.

NO, NO, NO, NO, DON'T.

DON'T, NO, NO, NO.

- YEAH.
- WHAT DO I DO?

GOOD.
GOOD. NO?

SHE LAUGHED AT ME.

- I THINK SHE DID.
- LOOK AT HER GO.

SHE'S GOING TO SHOW UP.

NO, DON'T COME OVER HERE.

SHE'S GOING TO SHOW.
OH, HERE SHE COMES.

OH, WOW. GREAT JOB.
I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE LAUGHED AT ME.

THAT COULD BE YOU.
THAT COULD BE YOU.

YOU'RE A DICK, YOU KNOW THAT?

IT'S SO UNBELIEVABLY
QUIET UP HERE.

A LITTLE SILENCE
IS GOOD EVERY NOW AND THEN.

- YOU LIKE IT?
- GROWING UP, IT IS COMFORTING.

MAKES ME FEEL RESTLESS.

I SPENT MOST
OF MY CHILDHOOD

WANDERING THE HALLWAYS
OF MY DAD'S HOTEL.

I REMEMBER PRESSING
MY EARS UP AGAINST THE DOORS,

LISTENING TO
CONVERSATIONS.

IF THEY WERE
COMPLETELY SILENT,

IT'D BE AS IF
I WAS IN THE ROOM.

THEN DAD WOULD
QUICKLY PULL ME AWAY

AND SAY, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU'LL SCARE THE CUSTOMERS."

QUITE THE BUSINESSMAN.

AH. HE KNEW HOW TO RUN
THINGS, THAT'S FOR SURE.

HE'S ALWAYS BEEN VERY DRIVEN.

HE'S KINDA LIKE YOU.

ME?

YEAH. YOU'D BE GOOD
AT RUNNING A BUSINESS.

NO WAY.

THE ONLY THING
MY DAD WAS GOOD AT

WAS RUNNING THINGS
INTO THE GROUND.

WELL, I MET A LOT OF
BUSINESSMEN THROUGH MY DAD

AND THE ONES WHO FAILED ARE THE
ONES WHO GAVE UP TOO EASILY.

YOU DON'T SEEM LIKE THE TYPE.

I'D NEVER STOP
CHASING YOU.

EVEN IF I KEPT
GOING ON ABOUT THINGS?

I'D TAKE YOU
OUT EVERY NIGHT

JUST TO HEAR YOU BABBLE
ABOUT THE VIRTUE OF SILENCE.

THAT'S KIND OF IRONIC,
ISN'T IT?

CAN'T YOU DRINK
FROM A GLASS?

SORRY.

HEY, PERFECT TIMING.

- OKAY.
- I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.

OH, I'M ALLERGIC TO ROSES.

OH.

ARE YOU READY YET?

JUST A COUPLE
MORE MINUTES.

OH, YOU GOT ME A PRESENT.

HOW SWEET.

OH, YOU CAN BE SO SILLY
SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW THAT?

I TOLD YOU
SHE DOESN'T LIKE PRESENTS.

I CAN'T GO EMPTY-HANDED.

WELL, WHAT IS IT?

YOU'LL SEE.

AH. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

YOU LOOK LIKE A NIGHT BOX.

YOU'RE NOT JUST SAYING
THAT, ARE YOU?

SHE'S GOING TO LOVE YOU.

I HOPE SO.

CAN I JUST HAVE
A COUPLE MORE MINUTES?

YEAH, SURE.

JUST A SECOND.

- HEY.
- HEY, SIS.

YAN,
THIS IS MY SISTER ELAINE.

IT'S GREAT TO FINALLY
MEET YOU. COME IN.

THIS IS FOR YOU.

THANK YOU.

I HOPE HOT POT'S OKAY.

YEAH. I LOVE

NEED SOME HELP?

THAT WOULD BE LOVELY.
LIAM, CAN YOU SET UP THE BURNER FOR ME?

YEAH, SURE.

WHERE IS IT?

IT'S IN THE PLASTIC BAG
BY THE SOFA.

THIS IS YOUR DAD?

YEAH.

REALLY?

THAT'S YOUR CHINESE NAME?

HMM? YEAH.
WILLIAM "LIAM."

MOM STARTED CALLING ME THAT AFTER
PEOPLE STARTED GETTING CONFUSED.

IT JUST KINDA STUCK.

- DID YOU FIND THE BURNER?
- I'M JUST GOING TO QUICKLY GET

SOME MORE GAS
'CAUSE THEY WERE OUT.

HOW ARE YOU
AT CHOPPING VEGETABLES?

I CAN TRY.

IT'S GREAT HOW LIAM
HAS FAMILY HERE.

YEAH, WE'RE LUCKY
TO HAVE EACH OTHER.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS?

I'M AN ONLY CHILD.

OH, IT MUST BE HARD NOT HAVING A
BROTHER OR SISTER TO DEPEND ON.

DO YOU SEE ANY OF
YOUR FAMILY AT ALL?

MOSTLY MY DAD.

HE'S NOT REALLY CLOSE TO
ANY OF HIS SIBLINGS AT ALL.

SO IT'S MOSTLY JUST US.

OH, AN INTROVERT.

OH, NO.
HE'S GOT LOTS OF FRIENDS.

GIRLFRIENDS, I SHOULD SAY.

AND HE'S MARRIED
TO HIS BUSINESS.

WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS?

HOTELS.

HOW DID HE GET INTO THAT?

AFTER THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION,

HE WENT BACK TO SHANGHAI
AND STARTED ONE.

I'M SURPRISED YOU'RE NOT
ANY BETTER IN THE KITCHEN

FOR HAVING A HOTEL.

ARE YOU DONE WITH THAT?

OH, I'M SORRY.

IT'S FINE. HERE,
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THIS TO THE OTHER ROOM?

SURE.

IN COLLEGE I CHOOSE BETWEEN
LEARNING WINE OR COOKING.

I CHOSE WINES, AS YOU CAN SEE.

- WHAT COLLEGE?
- CORNELL.

THAT'S A GOOD SCHOOL.
LIAM REALLY WANTED TO GO THERE.

IMAGINE IF HE HAD GONE
YOU MIGHT HAVE MET HIM THERE.

YEAH, HE'S QUITE
A SMART GUY.

WHY DIDN'T HE?

DID LIAM EVER TELL YOU THE STORY
HOW HE CAME HOME FROM LAW SCHOOL

AND SURPRISED US
FOR DAD'S 60TH BIRTHDAY?

NO. HE NEVER
TOLD ME THAT STORY.

HE HAD WORKED
THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT

IN THE LIBRARY ALL SEMESTER
LONG TO AFFORD AIRFARE.

WHEN HE GOT HERE,
HE JUST CAME IN AND WENT TO DAD'S DESK

AND PUT A LETTER ON IT.

IT WAS FROM STANFORD. HE WAS ONE
OF 11 TRANSFER STUDENTS THAT YEAR.

OF COURSE, HE COULDN'T GO BECAUSE
WE COULDN'T AFFORD THE TUITION.

BUT HE WANTED DAD TO KNOW THAT
HE COULD GO ANYWHERE HE WANTED.

IT MUST BE REASSURING
TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE

A FAMILY BUSINESS TO TAKE OVER,

WHEN YOUR DAD'S READY.

NOT REALLY.

ARE YOU KIDDING?

I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK I HAVE SOME SAY ABOUT
THE DIRECTION OF MY OWN LIFE.

ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT
IT'S AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY

THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
DON'T HAVE.

DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?

THEY'RE ALL OUT
OF GAS REFILLS.

ISN'T THIS INDUCTION
PLATE GREAT?

HEATS THINGS UP REAL FAST.

I HOPE IT DOESN'T MAKE
OUR FOOD RADIOACTIVE.

IT'S NOT RADIOACTIVE.

IT'S WHAT YOU DON'T SEE
THAT KILLS YOU.

WELL, WHAT DID YOU GUYS
TALK ABOUT WHILE I WAS GONE?

NOTHING REALLY.
WE WERE BUSY PREPARING THE FOOD.

HERE'S TO MY TWO FAVORITE WOMEN
GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER.

YEAH, SHE CAN BE REALLY
STUCK IN HER WAYS, BUT...

SHE MEANS WELL.

SHE CERTAINLY KNOWS
HOW TO SPEAK HER MIND.

WELL, EVER SINCE SHE STARTED ON
THOSE MEDS SHE JUST SAYS WHATEVER.

SHE CAN REALLY PISS
ME OFF SOMETIMES TOO,

BUT I JUST HAVE
TO KEEP REMINDING MYSELF

SHE'S MY SISTER.

SOMETIMES I WONDER WHAT I'D
BE LIKE IF I HAD A BROTHER.

HAVING A BROTHER OR SISTER
DOES HAVE ITS ADVANTAGES

BUT BEING AN ONLY CHILD
CAN BE PRETTY COOL TOO.

HEY, YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, YEAH.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU
EVERYTHING

THERE IS TO KNOW
ABOUT MY FATHER.

HE SOUNDS LIKE A DECENT GUY.

RUNS A HOTEL, RIGHT?

WELL, NOT JUST A HOTEL,
A BUNCH OF HOTELS.

A BUNCH LIKE WHAT?

TWO OR THREE?

MORE THAN THAT.

A LOT MORE.

YOU'RE NOT SOME PARIS HILTON
OF CHINA, ARE YOU?

HOLY SHIT.

WHEN I LEFT,

HE MADE IT CLEAR THAT
HE EXPECT ME TO BE HOME

WITHIN A YEAR TO HELP HIM
RUN THE BUSINESS.

THAT'S REALLY SOON.

I KNOW.
AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT

I WOULD TELL HIM I WAS
STAYING IF I WANTED TO.

IT'S JUST SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT YOUR SISTER SAID.

WHAT'D SHE SAY?

WELL, JUST HOW DEDICATED
YOU ARE TO YOUR FATHER...

OH, COME ON!
THAT'S NOT THE SAME.

WHY NOT?

YAN, MY FATHER WENT
BANKRUPT THEN WORKED

ALL OF HIS LIFE
TO GET US BACK TO EVEN.

HE DIED EVEN
BEFORE HE GOT THE CHANCE.

NO OFFENSE, BUT YOUR
FATHER'S DOING JUST FINE.

I'M HIS ONLY CHILD.

SO? WHAT'S THAT GOT
TO DO WITH IT?

WHEN MY MOM FOUND OUT
SHE WAS HAVING A GIRL,

SHE WANTED AN ABORTION.
AND HE STOPPED HER.

BACK THEN, WE COULDN'T
AFFORD TWO CHILDREN.

IT COST AN ARM AND A LEG AT
LEAST TO RAISE AN EXTRA CHILD.

AND HE'S A GOOD MAN
FOR THAT, OKAY.

BUT THAT'S HIS CHOICE,
NOT YOURS.

AFTER I WAS BORN,
SEEING ME JUST SICKENED HER.

BUT HIS LOVE NEVER CHANGED.

DON'T I OWE HIM SOMETHING
FOR THAT?

NOT YOUR WHOLE LIFE.

YAN...

I UNDERSTAND WHAT
YOU'RE GOING THROUGH,

BUT YOU CANNOT BE HELD HOSTAGE BY
SOMETHING YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.

I'M SORRY.

HEY, I LOVE YOU.

I JUST DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'D DO WITHOUT YOU.

MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN MEET?

YEAH, I'D LIKE THAT.

AAH!

WHAT?

DO YOU PICK UP YOUR PHONE?

I'M SORRY. I WAS ASLEEP.

WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HER,
ELAINE?

TO WHO?

TO YAN. YOU MUST HAVE
SAID SOMETHING,

'CAUSE NOW SHE'S FREAKING OUT
ABOUT HER DAD.

WHAT... NOTHING REALLY.

ARE YOU SURE
IT WAS NOTHING?

I... SAID WHAT A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY IT IS

TO HAVE A FAMILY BUSINESS
THAT'S DOING WELL.

THAT'S IT?

YEAH. I TALKED ABOUT
YOU AND DAD A LOT.

- LIKE WHAT?
- LIKE GOOD STUFF.

LIKE HOW DEVOTED
YOU ARE TO HIM.

GIVE ME A BREAK,
ELAINE.

WITH WHAT?
I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BAD!

- JEEZ! GOD KNOWS I COULD'VE.
- WHAT?

OH, COME ON!
IT'S NOT LIKE I DON'T KNOW.

YOU'RE NOT THE MOST
TRADITIONAL OF LAWYERS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

MOST LAWYERS, THEY SIT
AT A DESK ALL DAY.

THEY PUSH PAPERS AROUND.
YOU, YOUR OFFICE, AT MEETINGS,

GOD KNOWS WHERE ON THE PHONE
TALKING CRYPTIC, SHADY STUFF.

COME ON. I KNOW HOW
TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES.

HEY, WE DO WHAT WE GOT TO
DO TO GET THE CLIENTS, OKAY.

THAT'S JUST...
THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS!

WELL, MAYBE IT'S
TIME TO GET A NEW JOB.

YOU KNOW, I FIND IT
SLIGHTLY IRONIC

THAT YOU'RE SHITTING
ON THE SAME JOB

THAT'S PUTTING A ROOF
OVER YOUR HEAD!

OH, I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS!
DAMN IT!

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO, HUH?
YOU'RE MY SISTER.

I'D RATHER BE DESTITUTE THAN SEE
YOU BECOME SOME SORT OF DEGENERATE.

YOU FUCKING BITCH!
HOW DARE YOU!

NO! YOU WHAT?
YOU PAY A COUPLE OF MONTHS RENT

AND YOU FILL
MY PILLS EVERY SO OFTEN

AND YOU THINK
I SHOULD BE ALL GRATEFUL?

I TOOK CARE OF YOU
WHEN DAD WASN'T THERE!

I WATCHED DAD WHEN YOU
WERE UP AT SCHOOL! NO!

I DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING!
DON'T YOU FUCKING HATE ME!

I DON'T NEED THIS SHIT!

- GET THE FUCK OUT!
- FINE!

GO!

DARLING, THE ACIDITY
IS TOO MUCH FOR DADDY.

- OH.
- NO, NO, NO.

DAD, THIS IS LIAM.

- HI.
- LIAM.

HELLO, LIAM.
NICE TO MEET YOU.

- IT'S A PLEASURE.
- HELLO.

BAIJIU. GET SOME BAIJIU.

DAD, THEY ONLY SERVE
WINE HERE.

NONSENSE. THEY SERVE
BAIJIU EVERYWHERE.

THIS IS FOR YOU.

CHOCOLATES.

I DON'T EAT SWEETS
BUT THANK YOU ALL THE SAME.

HOW VERY KIND OF YOU.

YAN DIDN'T TELL ME.

ACTUALLY, I'M ON A DIET.

OH, ACTUALLY, I WAS TRYING

TO IMPRESS THIS GIRL
NEXT TIME SHE VISITED.

BUT YOU KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS
TO GET HER TO COME HOME, HUH? HUH?

COME ON.
SIT DOWN. COME ON.

IT'S SO WONDERFUL TO SEE MY
LITTLE DAUGHTER WITH GUESTS.

AH, HERE WE ARE.

LIAM, IS IT?

- YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
- HERE WE GO.

LET'S DRINK TO OUR...
HAPPINESS.

TO OUR HAPPINESS.
CHEERS.

CHEERS.

GOOD?

IT'S GOOD.

OH, SPLENDID.

WE ORDERED SOME COURSES AHEAD
OF TIME, IF YOU DON'T MIND,

'CAUSE I WAS REALLY HUNGRY.

RIGHT.

WE'VE GROWN THIS CHAIN FROM
HERE TO MORE THAN 20 LOCATIONS.

WE'RE LOOKING
AT BUILDING A HEADQUARTERS

IN THE CITY IN A FEW YEARS TIME...
IF THEY LET ME.

DAD.

WHAT? YOU NEED SOMEONE TO LOOK
AFTER THE RELATIONSHIP, RIGHT?

I'M SURE IN TIME
IT'LL WORK OUT.

YEAH, I'M SURE
IN TIME IT WILL ALL WORK OUT.

IN THE MEANTIME, ANOTHER SHOT.

NO, NO, NO.
I'M SORRY. I CAN'T.

- LIAM'S NOT USED TO...
- I INSIST.

COME ON. CHEERS.

AHH.

YAN TELLS ME
YOU WORK IN THE LAW.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU LIKE IT?

IT'S A GOOD LIVING.

I'D BE FOOLISH TO COMPLAIN.

NEVER REGRET ANYTHING YOU DO
FOR YOUR FAMILY, LIAM.

SORRY?

YAN TELLS ME YOU LOOK AFTER
YOURS VERY WELL.

WELL, THAT I APPRECIATE.

WELL, I HOPE TO SAVE ENOUGH
TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.

WHY?

ISN'T BEING A LAWYER
A GOOD PROFESSION?

AH, HEY SHEN, SHEN, HEY.

SHEN, THIS IS
MY BOYFRIEND LIAM.

- HI.
- HI.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

LISTEN, I'M SORRY
TO CUT OUR MEETING SHORT.

BUT WE HAVE IMPORTANT BUSINESS TO
DISCUSS, DO YOU MIND?

- DAD.
- NO, IT'S FINE.

YOU SHOULD STAY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO BREAK THINGS UP.

NO, NO, NO.
IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.

YOU GUYS
DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.

I'M ONLY HERE FOR A FEW DAYS

AND SHEN HERE HAS BEEN
OPENING DOORS FOR US.

- PLEASE, YOU KNOW WHAT...
- DAD.

- LET ME TAKE CARE OF DINNER.
- I GOT IT. I GOT IT.

- YOU SURE?
- I'M SURE.

WELL, I HOPE TO SEE
YOU AGAIN, SIR.

- OKAY.
- IT WAS A PLEASURE.

BYE-BYE.

LIAM, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO.

IT'S OKAY, DEAR.

SPEND SOME TIME WITH HIM.

YOU GOT SOME BUSINESS
TO DISCUSS.

OKAY.

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU.

GO. GO.

GLAD YOU'RE HOME.

GO BACK TO SLEEP.

HOW DID IT GO?

YOUR DAD MUST HAVE BEEN
RAVING ABOUT ME.

OF COURSE HE WAS.

I KNEW IT.

IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE I WIN HIM OVER.

LET'S GO TO FRANCE.

WE BOTH GOT SOME MONEY.

WE CAN BUY A LITTLE VINEYARD
IN BORDEAUX

AND LIKE MAKE OUR OWN WINE.

RUNNING VINEYARD IS TOUGH
A BUSINESS.

OR PARIS AT LEAST
WE CAN BE TOGETHER.

I HAVE TO TAKE CARE
OF MY SISTER.

BESIDES BETWEEN HERE
AND FRANCE

IT'S STILL AWAY
FROM YOUR FATHER.

IT'S NOT FAR ENOUGH.

HEY...

I LOVE YOU.

THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

THAT'S MY OLD TOOTHBRUSH.

I WAS JUST ABOUT
TO CLEAN THE SINK.

HOW'S THAT JOURNALIST?

IT'S UNDER CONTROL.

- WHOA! YOU GOT ME.
- I WON!

I JUST GOT THE VERBAL
YES FROM RUTLEDGE.

THE FIRM'S VERY HAPPY
WITH YOU GENTLEMEN.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, BABE.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.

I HOPE YOU'RE NOT
ALLERGIC TO THESE.

OH, I LOVE THEM.

I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.

CLOSE YOUR EYES.

OKAY.

NO PEEKING.

PLEASE BE IN LINGERIE.

OH, GOSH. SHUT UP.

HEH. WHAT COULD IT BE?

OKAY. OPEN YOUR EYES NOW.

OH, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE.

- DO YOU LIKE IT?
- I LOVE IT.

IT'S AWESOME.

THIS IS THE BEST
PRESENT EVER.

- REALLY?
- YEAH.

WHEN CAN IT BE READY?

A FEW WEEKS TO SET IT
AND SIZE IT.

I THINK SHE'S GOING
TO LOVE IT.

- I'LL TAKE IT.
- GREAT.

SHIT.

SHIT!

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

DID THE DNA RESULTS
EVEN COME BACK?

THEY'RE IN A LONG
QUEUE ACCORDING TO...

- THEN HOW THE HELL DID THIS...
- I DON'T KNOW!

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

I'LL JUST SAY IT WAS MY FAULT.

NO, NO, NO. IT'S MY FAULT.

LIAM, IF YOU TAKE THE BLAME
THEY'LL FIRE YOU.

- I'VE BEEN HERE LONGER.
- THEY CAN'T FIRE ME.

OH, THEY WILL.

FUCK. IT'S OLIVER.

HELLO?

YEAH. NO, NO, NO,
IT'S MY FAULT.

SHE JUST... YEAH.

I KNOW.

OKAY.

YEAH. I TOLD CHAD THAT.

IT'S COMPLETELY UNDER CONTROL.

OKAY.

WELL, THE IPO'S POSTPONED,
AND WE LOST THE ACCOUNT.

SHIT, LIAM.

THANK YOU.

LIAM, I GOT THE DNA REPORT BACK
FROM OUR EXPERT AND... HI THERE.

BABE, WOULD YOU MIND
GIVING US A SECOND?

OH, SURE.

YEAH, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU SCORED
THAT, BUT NICE JOB.

FOCUS.

SORRY. I WAS SAYING
I GOT THE DNA EVIDENCE BACK.

NOW YOU GOT THE RESULTS BACK?
SO WHAT WERE THEY?

IT DOESN'T MATCH.

SO THEN WHY WOULD MAGGIE
WRITE THE ARTICLE?

I KNOW.
I MEAN I'M SORRY, LIAM.

IT'S COMPLETELY FUCKED UP.

IT SHOWS IT'S A 2-3%
PROBABILITY AT MOST.

I MEAN,
I'M IN THE 2-3% PROBABILITY.

SHE'S GOT NOTHING.
HER WHOLE ARTICLE IS BULLSHIT.

FUCKING BITCH. FUCK!

SHE HAS NO CASE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT SHE'S TRYING TO DO.

HELLO.

OH, NO.

NO, I UNDERSTAND.

YAN? YAN.

YAN. YAN! YAN!

YOU ALL RIGHT?

MY DAD JUST HAD
A HEART ATTACK.

OH, DEAR. I'M SO SORRY.

IS HE ALL RIGHT?

THEY MAY DO A STENT
OR BYPASS SURGERY.

I'M NOT SURE.

I'LL PACK SOME THINGS
AND I'LL COME WITH YOU.

YOU SHOULD STAY HERE.

- ARE YOU SURE?
- I'LL BE FINE.

YOU HAVE A LOT
OF WORK AHEAD OF YOU.

YAN.

YAN! YAN!

YAN!

HEY.

HOW'S HE DOING?

THE DOCTOR SAID HE'LL
BE ABLE TO GO HOME NEXT WEEK.

THAT'S GREAT NEWS.

YEAH.

THE STENT WORKED.

BUT THEY'RE SAYING QUADRUPLE
BYPASS IN THE NEXT EIGHT WEEKS

AFTER HE'S STRONGER.

AND THEN SIX MONTHS OF REHAB.

I'M UP TO MY EYEBALLS HANDLING
ALL THE WORK FROM THE HOTEL,

TAKING OVER HIS
RESPONSIBILITIES.

IS THERE SOMEONE WHO COULD
TAKE OVER FOR YOU EVENTUALLY?

I DON'T KNOW.

LET'S TAKE THIS ONE STEP
AT A TIME, OKAY?

OH, I GOT TO GO.

ALL RIGHT. SEE... YOU.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU.

THANKS.

SEE YOU. BYE.

WE JUST NEED YOU
TO SIGN THERE...

THERE.

AND YOU'LL BE PLEASED TO HEAR YOU'LL
BE GETTING SIX MONTHS WORTH OF SALARY

FOR THE SIX YEARS
OF SERVICE YOU'VE GIVEN.

IN EXCHANGE,
WE'LL JUST NEED YOU TO SIGN

THIS NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT THERE.
THANK YOU.

YOU SHOULD TAKE
A VACATION OR SOMETHING.

I PLAN TO.

I JUST HEARD.
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?

IT'S FINE.
IT WAS MY FAULT ON THE CASE.

I SHOULD TAKE THE BLAME.

OH, COME ON. REALLY?

YOU WOULD'VE DONE
THE SAME THING.

HELL, IF I DIDN'T DO THIS OLI
WOULD'VE TAKEN YOUR HEAD OFF.

WE COULD'VE LET IT PLAY OUT AND
THEN MAYBE TOGETHER, WE COULD...

CHAD, IF I'M NOT HERE AND I'M
GONE, YOU'RE SAFE, ALL RIGHT?

WE BURN TOGETHER!

IT'S ALREADY DONE, BUDDY.

NO, IT'S NOT DONE.

I ALREADY SIGNED IT.

- YOU SIGNED THE PAPERS?
- YEAH.

YOU MOTHERFUCKER!
YOU ASSHOLE!

CHAD, THEY GAVE ME
SIX MONTHS, OKAY?

THAT'S PLENTY OF TIME
TO GET BACK ON MY FEET.

I'LL GO LIVE IN CHINA WITH YAN
OR SOMETHING, ALL RIGHT?

FUCK YOU!

YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!
I HATE YOU!

YOU COULD'VE TALKED TO ME
ABOUT THIS FIRST.

YOU SHOULD'VE TALKED TO ME
ABOUT THIS FIRST!

FUCKING COCKSUCKER!
FUCK!

I HAVE TO TELL YOU
SOMETHING.

YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING
TO BE A LONG TIME.

I'M GETTING MARRIED.

WHAT?

TO WHO?

TO SHEN?

I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

OH, MY GOD.

OF COURSE YOU HAVE A CHOICE.

IF YOU KNEW WHAT KIND OF
PRESSURE OUR COMPANY'S UNDER...

YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY LOVE HIM.

DO YOU?

- DO YOU?
- IT DOESN'T MATTER, LIAM.

IT'S THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING.

DO YOU LOVE HIM?

DO YOU?

IT'S AN EASY QUESTION.

ANSWER THE QUESTION.
DO YOU LOVE HIM?

- I DON'T KNOW.
- DO YOU LOVE HIM?

YOU DON'T LOVE...
DO YOU LOVE HIM?

OH, MY GOD.
DO YOU LOVE HIM?

YES OR NO.
DO YOU LOVE HIM?

YES!

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

FUCKING WHORE.

GET OUT.

LIAM.

GET OUT!

GET OUT NOW!

GET OUT!

DEAR GOD...

SHOW ME WHAT TO DO.

I KNOW YOU'RE
IN THERE, LIAM.

GO AWAY.

COME ON, MAN. I'LL KICK THIS DOOR.
I'M SERIOUS.

- COME ON!
- IT'S OPEN!

SO IT WAS OPEN.

JESUS.

YOU'RE A WRECK.

WOULD YOU PUT SOME
PANTS ON, WILL YOU?

LISTEN, LIAM,

I NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO...

THIS IS HARD,

SAY THANK YOU.

I KNOW YOU MEANT WELL.

WELL, FIGURED WHEN YOU SAID
"FUCK YOU" AND "ASSHOLE"...

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH,
I KNOW. YOU GOT ME.

YEAH, YOU KIND OF
DESERVED IT.

YEAH, YEAH.

HOW'S THAT...
LOVELY GIRL OF YOURS?

WELL, LET'S JUST SAY
THAT, UH,

SHE'S NOT COMING BACK.

I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

REALLY I AM,
BECAUSE I KINDA LIKED HER.

SHE'S ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT THINGS.

YOU KNOW HOW MANY
OF THESE SITUATIONS

THAT WE'VE HANDLED OVER THE LAST
FIVE, SIX YEARS?

IT'S HELL OF A LOT
OF BULLSHIT.

NOW YOUR HANDS ARE
COMPLETELY WASHED OF IT.

HELL, I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHY YOU JOINED THE FIRM

IN THE FIRST PLACE.

'CAUSE OF ITS
PRESTIGIOUS NAME.

WHEN I FIRST MET
YOU...

I THOUGHT THAT FOR SURE
YOU WOULD QUIT, MOVE ON

AS SOON AS YOU FOUND OUT
THAT WE'RE JUST A BUNCH

OF CHIMNEY SWEEPERS
TO RICH PEOPLE.

YEAH. NOW I GOT TO FIND A
WHOLE NEW SET OF CHIMNEYS, HUH?

YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

COMPLETELY SERIOUS.

WHY DON'T YOU OPEN YOUR
OWN BUSINESS OR SOMETHING?

AT LEAST DO SOMETHING THAT
YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT.

WHY? I WOULD'VE PERFECTLY
BEEN HAPPY BEING YOUR WINGMAN.

FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU!

DO NOT SAY THAT.

YOU DON'T WANT TO BE
LIKE ME.

I KNOW A MILLION GUYS

WHO WOULD KILL TO LIVE
THE LIFESTYLE YOU DO.

HEY, I AM NOT GUILTY
ABOUT THAT, OKAY.

I FEEL NOT AN IOTA
OF GUILT ABOUT THAT

'CAUSE I WORKED MY ASS
OFF ALL MY LIFE.

I WAS A VALEDICTORIAN,
YOU KNOW,

AND THE PROM KING
IN HIGH SCHOOL.

WENT TO HARVARD LAW THINKING
THAT I COULD CHANGE THE WORLD.

I HAD TEN OFFERS
COMING OUT OF SCHOOL,

ONE OF WHICH WAS FOR THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

OF NEW YORK CITY,

PROSECUTING CRIMINALS.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE IT?

'CAUSE I WAS TOO MUCH
OF A FUCKING CHICKENSHIT

TO TAKE THE PAY CUT.

MY PARENTS...

THEY WERE
BACK HOME RUNNING A DELI

TRYING TO SAVE MONEY...

FOR ME.

IT KILLS ME SOMETIMES
'CAUSE...

MAYBE I'LL BE
MAKING A LOT OF MONEY

AND BE A LITTLE BIT RICHER
IN 30 YEARS...

OR SOMEHOW.

SOMEHOW I'M GOING
TO ALWAYS WONDER

WHAT MY LIFE WOULD'VE
BEEN LIKE

IF I'D TAKEN THAT JOB,
MADE MY PARENTS PROUD.

MAYBE DONE SOMETHING
FUCKING GOOD.

LISTEN...

HAVING YOU AS MY WINGMAN
AND ALL WAS GREAT.

BUT HONESTLY,

HONESTLY, YOU HAVE
WAY MORE POTENTIAL

THAN YOU'VE EVER GIVEN
YOURSELF CREDIT FOR.

IF YOU JUST PROMISE ME,

PROMISE ME THAT YOU JUST
GROW A BALL SACK

AND DO SOMETHING
WITH IT, SOMETHING,

I DON'T CARE WHAT
AFTER THIS.

JUST FUCKING GO OUT THERE
AND DO SOMETHING, OKAY?

YEAH, WE JUST...
WE JUST LOST OUT I GUESS.

HONG KONG.

THE PLACE WAS SOMETHING, HUH?

- HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, BABE.
- HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

- HI.
- HI. COME IN.

THANKS FOR HAVING ME
OVER ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.

SURE.

THIS IS MY GODFATHER ALBERT.

PA, THIS IS LIAM.

HEY.

THIS IS LIAM.

SORRY, HE LOST MOST HIS
HEARING FROM HIS THROAT CANCER.

CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING
TO DRINK?

WATER WOULD BE GOOD.

HOW ABOUT TEA?

SURE.

HERE YOU GO.

MY GODFATHER USED
TO BE A GENIUS WRITER.

THANK YOU.

LIAM,
I'M COMPLETELY PREPARED

TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES
OF MY ACTIONS.

- I KNOW THAT YOU GOT...
- MAGGIE, I DIDN'T COME HERE...

FIRED AND THEN YOU'RE
NO LONGER THERE.

OKAY, I'M SORRY.
I THINK THIS IS BETTER.

THAT'S NOT WHY I'M HERE.

I REPLAYED A LOT OF
WHAT'S HAPPENED IN MY HEAD

AND I DON'T BLAME YOU.

ESPECIALLY NOW,
IT'S A LOT CLEARER TO ME TO SEE.

I'VE NEVER BEEN COMFORTABLE
ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS

I'VE HAD TO DO FOR
MY CLIENTS.

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY
I'M SORRY.

OH.

IF I COULD JUST ASK
ONE QUESTION, THOUGH.

SURE.

YOU COULD'VE BEEN CRUCIFIED BY THE FIRM.
WHY'D YOU RISK IT?

WHEN I WAS WRITING THE STORY,
OF COURSE I WAS TERRIFIED.

BUT THEN ONE DAY
I WAS WATCHING TV

AND I JUST COULD
NOT PAY ATTENTION.

I REALIZED I HADN'T
BEEN ABLE

TO DO ANYTHING SINCE
I PUT DOWN THE STORY.

AND THEN I GOT ANGRY
AT MYSELF

'CAUSE I DIDN'T EVEN
HAVE THE COURAGE

TO GO AFTER SOMETHING
THAT I REALLY BELIEVE IN.

LIAM?

THANKS FOR THE TEA, MAGGIE.

HI, LIAM.

I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO DROP BY,
BUT COME IN.

BABY.

I SHOULD COME BACK.

NO. I'LL GIVE YOU
A FEW MINUTES.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE.

HE'S ABOUT FOUR HOURS OLD.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

WE NAMED HIM
AFTER HIS FATHER.

- HI.
- HI.

YOU MUST BE LIAM. YEAH. HI.
IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.

I'M MALCOLM.

PLEASE, COME ON IN.

HONEY, WHO WAS IT?

OH, YOU GUYS MET?

YES, OF COURSE.

YOU GUYS, I WAS JUST HEADING
OUT TO DO SOME ERRANDS

SO WHY DON'T I JUST
LEAVE YOU BE.

ELAINE, HONEY, IS THERE
ANYTHING I CAN GET YOU?

NO, THANK YOU.

LIAM, IT'S A PLEASURE
TO MEET YOU.

GOOD TO MEET YOU.

THE PLACE LOOKS GREAT.

I THREW SOME STUFF OUT.

HOW'S YAN?

OH.

HOW ARE YOU?

DO YOU WANT TO GET
SOME AIR?

I GOT MY TEST RESULTS BACK.

AND?

THEY'RE GOOD.
THEY'RE REALLY, REALLY GOOD.

DID I EVER TELL YOU
YOU'RE THE GREATEST SISTER?

AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE
MY BABY BROTHER.
