Okay, everybody, take your safe, please.

We have a big presentation to make tonight.

Guess what it is.

Okay.

Tonight is Alma's third birthday with our group,

and we just wanted to know how proud we are ever.

Yes, we are.

Momma, and I'm a compulsive overeater.

I am.

Well, tonight is another one of those big, beautiful milestones.

I've been on the program for three years, and it's been

two months, 60 days since I reached my goal weight of 110.

Yes.

I don't have to tell you how hard it is, because I know you all know that.

I was thinking, you know, if I had a substance abuse problem, other than,

say, cherry vanilla ice cream, I could handle it.

But my struggle is to get myself out of the food and into life.

It's not exciting or glamorous or even obvious to have an eating disorder.

You know, you can walk out of a liquor store with a case

of tequila, and everybody knows you've got a problem.

But make a midnight run to get 16 bags of chocolate chip

cookies that you know you're going to eat in the next hour.

No one even looks at you.

They don't get the compulsive overeating is an addictive behavior.

It's really our dirty little secret.

Now, I'm real proud of what I've done, and my life is both promise.

But it's a struggle every day not to think of myself as

some fat person trapped inside this sinfully spilt buddy.

I was an overweight kid.

I was a chevy teenager, and I spent my entire adult

life weighing 67 pounds more than I do right now today.

I'm doing it one day at a time with your help and the program and your friendship.

And I say this every time I'm up here.

Don't forget me, because if I can do it, you can do it too.

I still need you all very much.

And thank you.

I can't stay tonight.

Oh, bye.

Well, my partner, Bill, is getting into the airport right about now.

He's going to go straight to the office where

he's going to expect me to be when he gets there.

What was that, huh?

9500 per unit?

I didn't realize I was such a good salesman.

I guess you are.

But if all goes well, honey, this will be just a starter you will be to state empire.

All right.

B.K.

investments.

I'll be thankful if I get my money back.

Why are you doing this if you feel that way?

Huh?

Because I find you to be most persuasive.

I don't know any other way.

I expect you to be the same.

If you feel uncomfortable, I feel uncomfortable.

I want you to keep this track.

No, no, no.

I want you to take it.

Really?

Yeah.

It's a big deal to me.

Here.

No, I don't believe you, I don't believe you.

Where are you?

Dinner's at seven, not eight.

It was a special occasion, Grant.

I told you that.

What's at?

You got there.

It's Valentine's Day.

These are for you.

I just must be a sorry sight.

The two of us, huh?

Valentine's Day.

What?

Yeah, well.

Take it.

Oh, I didn't get you nothing.

All right, I didn't expect that there today.

Now, go on.

Take them.

Come on.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

What?

What's wrong?

No, it's... What about them?

Oh, wait.

No, it's...

It's times about talking to you.

Please, shall we?

Do you... Of course not.

They're just busy thinking about yourself.

My mother.

My daughter.

Not everything's my mother's fault, Grant.

Gotta get over there.

Mm-hmm.

Susan Wilton?

Susan Wilton, are you here?

They haven't found my fire yet.

I only got your Christmas.

There's no easy.

Okay.

There's the forms you need for the change of me.

Thank you.

Did you find a job?

Did I always like this?

Not always.

Go out of my mind if I had to deal with a racket like this every day.

Have you noticed...

After guzzling an entire bottle of pancake syrup, I knew I was in trouble.

And I had heard about the program, and I had heard that the only requirement

for membership was the desire to stop eating components.

Dear, caring mate, I put myself down as caring as to be well.

I don't know how many times I've walked to beach in the moon.

I know.

She could share that with someone special.

Let's begin the adventures we've both dreamed of, discover a new life together.

I'm 37, you're all real estate investor.

I'm so tired of being usual.

His name's Frank Williams.

He lives in chirping out.

And the handwriting's really strong.

It's definitely her sister.

Yeah, right now, all you know about is you can string a few words together.

You've got A's and penmanship.

How are you?

This is the first liver this morning as I've got.

Anyway, Loki.

It's like it's talking just to me.

He's a dreamer.

He's romantic.

And I lost it.

Phil and don't rush into things.

I wonder how to tie what's supposed to happen now.

I know.

But I think it's a lot.

I think it's a lot.

I think it's a lot.

Helen?

He said flowers.

You are made a thing like a little bird.

Don't worry about me.

I'm fine.

I really enjoyed it.

Is this your favorite place?

It is now.

I bet you bring all your dates here.

I'm no different than you.

That's why we're here.

And if I had lots of dates, I wouldn't have found it the way I did.

Hell, I didn't even think you were going to show up.

Why would you think that?

And then when you were a little late, and all I thought she's not showing up.

I was late.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know I was late.

Just a couple of minutes.

With a long couple of minutes.

What do you look at, Mark?

It's been a good speech.

It's my... It's my...

Mm-hmm.

Come on, smile.

There.

No Spanish.

See, you're perfect.

Half.

Hardly.

Come on.

You are beautiful.

Is that necessary?

Ah.

What would you like?

Oh, nothing for me.

I'll just have a couple of coffee at least.

Come on, maybe I'll plenty of room.

You hardly ain't.

No, I won't.

No.

No.

All right.

Tell us what they all are.

We're going to share something.

Well, we have a thought I was a fruit tart with a lemon curtape.

And we have a representative in the room.

Mr. Charlie.

Okay?

We have a white mousse cake.

This is the taste of that drink.

Can't you?

I'm going to see that drink.

And we have an apple and two of the tarts

around it by confresh and raspberries sauce.

And there you have it.

So what would you like to enjoy?

Okay.

Is that okay?

It sounds wonderful, really.

But you go right ahead.

Are you sure?

I'm positive.

All right.

Bring me the chocolate cake.

Too far.

There's somebody on the surface.

Excuse me.

Where do you put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on that, please?

Excuse me, sir.

Thank you.

Well, maybe you're going to want to know about it.

Come on.

I hope you're having as good a time as me.

Thank you.

Very peculiar lately.

Right, no doubt.

No doubt.

I don't like a foolish teenager.

Oh, every night.

We've been on eight times in the past two weeks.

We like each other very much.

There's nothing wrong with that.

From famine to feast to famine.

From nothing to something.

This is my house.

You live in.

If you don't like it here, you don't have to live here.

I can manage.

Oh, now, come on.

Who'd make your banana and peanut butter shakes every morning and the cinnamon toast?

Frank, the good man, grand.

I'm going to ask him over for dinner so you can see for yourself.

Anybody can make a damn shake and a piece of toast.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

I hope you like garlic.

It's okay as much as you eat it too.

You know, there's no reason why food that's good for you has to taste like jamics.

You know, the more I know about you, the more I know what I'll let you get here.

I mean, look at you.

You're a great cook.

You have a beautiful home.

You have a beautiful new home.

To us.

Together.

You know, no one's going to this much trouble for me in a long time.

I'm loving this.

I have to do it too.

Yes, ma 'am.

Come on, grand.

Not here.

You don't want the dinner to burn to you.

And they come to you.

Where are you going?

Oh, ma'am.

I was telling y'all more what a beautiful home she has here.

Oh, it's not yours.

It's mine.

They let me say you were sitting on a gold mine here, Mrs. Bates.

Jackson.

Ah, that's right.

That's okay.

Frank's in real estate grand.

He knows what he's talking about.

All I'm trying to say is that as an investor, I can tell he's telling this

would make you a small fortune.

Thanks, seven.

It's mine.

We come down from Bakersfield during the war.

My hand gets himself the Lockheed.

Some of the hoity-doidy neighbors thought we was bad.

His collards moving in.

Ah, but after a few years when it was all said and done, everything from here to the

corner was ours.

A $6,000.

$6,000.

But after I'm gone, it'll all be alms.

There's no one else left.

Assuming you're still around, you can talk to her about it then.

Oh, you'll probably, I'll live us all.

That's exactly what I say all the time.

I believe it.

Mrs. Jackson.

I gotta say, I think Almond and I are good for each other.

Very good for each other.

And I hope to be part of her life now, one.

Is that something?

You know, I'm really impressed.

I mean, taking care of her is a big deal.

If it was me, I don't know if I could handle it.

You're well.

I thought about it.

My mom used to take care of her.

Is your mom still alive?

Oh, yeah.

She met up five years ago.

Some guy.

Both, bros.

A golf puff.

What a golf puff like Arnold Palmer.

Not hardly.

I'm sorry.

No, she's happy, I suppose.

Anyway, Grand needed someone to stay with her, so I knew it did.

It just goes to prove what a quality lady you are.

This has been the best two weeks of my life.

It is.

Frank?

OK.

I have something for you.

It's only 5,000, but that's all I can get unless I cash my CD early.

So I know that if you use it, I can reinvest the profits.

Oh, this dump.

No, I'm going to put you on the spot.

It's OK.

It's only chicken feed.

I know, but I need a way to get my own life back.

Maybe this is it.

You know, I'd be able to take care of Grand and I'd be free.

Hey.

I understand.

I tell you what.

To make this deal fly, I'll put in the other four grand.

We'll make how money worked for us together.

How's it set?

Yes.

So cool.

Yeah.

Come on.

I love

it.

It has sweet dreams.

Hi.

Thanks for calling.

I want to talk to you so please leave a message.

I can write back to you.

I guess you must be real busy.

If you can't give me a call, I'd like to see this weekend.

Can I understand why you haven't called me when it's going on?

Hello.

This is how I'm abates at the Glendale Social Security.

We're conducting an investigation of client fraud.

I need registration on personalized license plates.

I am the SD for you.

Could you hold, please?

Hello?

Yes, hello.

How do you spell that?

Let me get something straight, son.

Your investment group is getting involved

and putting up condos outside Park City now.

Is that right?

Well, as I was telling Beverly, they've opened

up one of the mountains for the development.

Am I a partner?

Unless his heart has bought some options on some very choice of us.

Beverly, had I known your cousin handles all

your investments that are both the brochures?

They put all the information in the restaurant.

Well, I didn't believe that.

Yeah, I know.

How are you going to deal with the environmental suit?

The county planning people tell my partner that

they plan on dropping that within the month.

Yeah, I'm sure he's gone.

Totally.

Well, the court branded it in junction against construction three weeks ago.

And where are you getting such a good information, Mr. Ryan?

You know, something's not just because we're not from the big city.

Don't take us for fools.

I'm afraid you're out of luck because my cousin only invests with me and you're

looking at a man that's been around a track a few more times than you have,

I'm sure.

Beverly, I know your cousin means help, but

I think maybe he's a little compassionate.

I know the kind of investment you're trying to sell these ladies.

Who not only is my first cousin but happens to be my most loyal client.

If you're accusing me of being anything less than you.

I think I can accuse you of anything and I can make it stick.

Is that so?

You're nothing but a stain.

Get it?

A stain.

A stain.

I

don't need you to.

You ain't heard nothing since he discovered and you didn't own this house, have you?

What's that have to do with anything?

Is that a town in business?

Reminds me of that one.

Your mom wanted to run off with.

Oh, it's a real shot, be that one.

Don't care.

Thanks for business, man.

The only business he wants is what you can take.

What is that?

Is there anything I can do right in your eyes, friend?

Pick, pick, pick.

That's all you ever do.

I'm surprised he stayed for dinner as long as he did.

All my life, I've listened to you tell me how awful my mother was.

Well, she was your daughter.

And she didn't just run off.

She left because of you, Grand.

And all your negativity.

She was sick and tired of it and I'm tired of it too.

This is my house.

You don't have to threaten me anymore.

I'll save you the trouble.

I'm sorry.

Fuck you.

Thanks, Grandma.

You've got my number.

Hi, thank you for being.

Do you want to have lunch on Sunday?

If so, you may call five.

All right.

Good to see you have a reservation.

Hey.

Are we still on?

Yes.

How did you find this place?

You should have remembered I worked for the government.

I know who you are.

I guess you're too kitty.

And I have a pretty good idea of what you did.

Can I get you a cup of coffee?

Is there anything I can get you?

Are you sure?

Have a safe place.

All right, come on.

Don't be that way.

What do you expect?

Alma.

I got to tell you nobody gets a con who doesn't want to be.

Honey, I didn't know how to refuse you.

You got to believe me.

It was different with you.

It wasn't the money.

It was the house.

What?

It was the house.

Until you found out it was grand.

No, it wasn't the house.

Look, Alma.

When you gave me that check, I wanted to say no.

But you wanted to do it so bad.

And that was a beautiful thing.

So I said to myself, self, I will get the money back

with a profit of this one and then I'll move on.

I went to Reno and I won.

Look, I got your money.

$1,600.

$1,500.

You have $5,500.

And go find a deer like that.

Thank you.

But we're good together.

You don't know what you're saying.

You know who I am and you know what I do for a living.

Consider yourself lucky and get out.

Honey, it's too late if you just hold dog in a new trick.

I don't believe that.

There had to be some feeling there.

Yeah.

Be good girl.

I'll take this one.

Frank, if I could find you with two phone calls, the police certainly can.

And the publicity would bring the others out of the woodwork.

You threatened me.

I don't want to.

We love each other.

No, we don't.

Maybe we know love each other.

I know love.

It comes and it goes.

It doesn't have to be that way.

What is this?

Everybody needs love.

Are you good to the front?

You're not.

You just be you.

Good to ask if you're anything else.

It'll be so good.

This is Wilson.

I'm sorry.

Don't catch you waiting.

Mr. Randall ready now?

Mr. Randall.

That's me.

You're Aaron Randall.

You're I am?

I was expecting a man.

I'm weird.

I just assumed.

I mean, it's all right.

It happens all the time.

So tell me, Mrs. Wilson, how can I help you?

Consultation's free.

Well, I, I think I'm the victim of a fraud.

You know, I really do think a man would be better for this.

As a woman, I've handled a lot of these cases.

And I really do think I can help you.

What the hell?

Good.

So how much have I lost the just suffering?

$9,500.

Smart.

It keeps the IRS out of it.

He wasn't smart.

I was dumb.

He said he'd be back in two weeks.

That was a month ago.

He hasn't called like he said he would.

I checked with the better business bureau.

I said they have no record of his company.

You go into the police?

Oh, yeah.

The chances of finding him are slim in the likelihood

of recovering your losses even slimer, right?

My concern is really more personal than financial.

We'd like to hang him by his balls.

I want to cut him off.

What is that?

Stay where.

Here with you.

You don't fit.

They're good.

They can help.

I don't need any help.

You know what?

I'm not going to the cops.

So go to the cops.

No, I'm just saying that I came to you for this.

So if I touch you out of here then you go to the cops, is that it?

My old bond chain.

Frank.

We just had sex.

It was great that.

They weren't so bad.

Oh, you really get the better.

You have to hire me.

You don't have to lie to me about who you are.

I'm not going for anything like that.

You know sometimes you surprise the hell out of the way.

Open wide.

Delicious isn't it?

So.

Our little birdie has told us they're going to change their mind about the zone.

So we can build any time we want.

Once our money is up, we're in the driver's seat.

How do you know these things and who's this little birdie?

Now you know I really can't say, but he is on the zoning board.

You're bad.

I know.

Surprise.

I'm sorry.

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

I'm sorry.

And I'm a war and I'm Frank's sister.

I know.

You know, in such a bad time, we're discussing business.

These are busy from out of town.

Well, don't know what you join us then.

Thank you.

I'm not that busy really.

I'm not sure you don't mind.

I finished my errands a lot earlier than I thought I would end up.

I expected to have to be a lot worse.

I'm really sorry.

This is what I get from not telling you on the town and telling me to get here.

Well, that's okay.

You're from Salt Lake.

So, uh, are you thinking of investing in Frank's company?

It sounds very interesting.

Frank's incredibly resourceful.

My late husband, Robert, handled all the time.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

I don't mean a button, but did you just say your recent widow?

It's only been a year for me, too.

He lost your husband.

He was a freak accident.

I'm unbelievable, actually.

Well, you don't have to talk about it.

He was away on business in Japan and the hotel he was in.

He strapped to his room and he had a jump five stories.

Miraculously, he survived the fall.

It was another man jumping from the 10th floor that landed on top of him.

I was really a wreck.

I wouldn't have survived it without you fake.

He was my rock.

My husband and I loved each other very much.

But he handled all the finances just like you, Robert.

Frank, straightened my life out.

He got me into one of his partnerships and worked out beautifully.

I'll tell you something.

If you would have asked me six months ago if I

felt financially secure, I would have laughed.

Or probably cried, right, Frank?

How much?

How much is a great one for leaping in?

But if you can trust your own brother, who can you trust?

Both just try one of these and see if it works out.

Even if it all balled up, which it won't.

The tax break you get will cover your loss.

So, it's head to your wing, tails you wing.

I'm going to have to take care of these things myself, sooner or later.

I might as well start with people that I like.

Oh, son of a... Son of a...

Son of a...

To run a wrestling... No shoe.

Please, you can find me lunch in a good place.

You want me to do your favorite?

Yeah.

What do you want me to do, would you?

Well, I just find them.

Well, sure.

Let's go forget about the preliminaries.

How are you?

Nice to see you.

I'm fine.

You're fine?

We're all fine.

Okay.

Your name is... Chiqueti.

Frank Chiqueti.

Mm-hmm.

2, 28, Oakdale.

Apart from here.

You're a genius.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

You're looking for something.

Yeah, I'm looking for a guy I know.

He's got some things in mind, and just want to see what's here now.

Uh... What's that?

Frankie owns this car.

Uh... Frank.

Uh... Ma'am, if I were you, I'd write it off.

Oh?

Yeah, Frank's moved on.

Really?

He's, uh... He's got another lady.

Uh-huh.

I don't need to be in delicate with you, but... I don't think I'm wrong.

I think she's moving her up.

Oh, son of a bitch.

Yeah.

And now you feel.

My wife is, uh... about to be my account.

I think.

Well, it's terrible, don't you know for sure?

Do I know for sure?

Am I going to know for sure?

Pictures.

You want to know for sure?

Just call me.

Good luck.

You damn near blew the whole thing showing up like you did.

Well, she didn't seem like such a sure bet when I... didn't.

What do you know?

That's right.

Frank, there was a lady here to say, I've been looking for you.

She said you had somebody's stuff.

Oh.

She was, uh, beautiful looking lady.

Uh-huh.

Read it.

Kissed her off at your friend.

Look, her word to the wise.

Don't fuck around with lady dicks.

What are you talking about?

She gave me a card, Frank.

Don't worry about it.

I didn't tell her anything.

You're a prince.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Time for me to move on.

What happened?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about mold and leaving, vacating the premises.

Well, I'm coming with you.

What?

I'm surprised.

I'm Aaron Randall.

Is all of Bates in?

Not here.

She doesn't live here, doesn't she?

No more.

I'm a private investigator, Mrs.

Jackson.

Are you a mother?

Grandmother.

Well, then, in that case, Mrs. Jackson, I really need to talk to Alma because I'm

afraid she may be involved in some trouble.

What did she do?

Do you know a man named Frank?

I knew I couldn't trust him.

She just wouldn't listen.

I've been hired to find him, Mrs. Jackson.

Yeah, come in for a minute, please.

I'd like to help Alma if I could.

If you'll do something for me.

How long has Alma been gone?

Days.

I don't know exactly.

Uh?

I gave her a pill over her head.

She just didn't talk to her nearly as much as she'd been painted by herself.

She didn't call you after she left.

Say what she was staying?

Held low.

Would you mind if I looked around in her room?

She might have left something that would help me out.

Jackson.

How long has Alma gone to over here, Mrs. Jackson?

Like forever.

Just go over there every night because she got on top of her sickness.

She called her a sickness, huh?

I called her just plain old fact.

I'm told her I was proud of her.

You've given her that.

You tell her I'm sorry if I did anything to send her away.

You tell her you come home.

So what's for breakfast?

What happened in my yard here?

No, it wasn't hungry.

She says no to the deal and expects me to come across.

Well, say no to me.

He's sexy.

And Boona's son's 15 or something else she was.

She won't help either.

Her money would have been just as good as anyone else's.

Too high a price to pay.

Well, I'd chew a lucky duck.

Yeah.

What is that?

Well, you're wasting.

Just there for the screw it.

Almond, don't get into this.

You're the one who want to come along for the ride.

I told you the way it is.

Well, it's true, isn't it?

Almond.

He's a very needy people.

I may come and feel things that they have never felt before.

I may come memories.

And if you don't think they're grateful for that...

Does the phrase guides give to women mean anything to you?

What do you think it's funny?

I'm a part of their life that didn't exist before I came along.

Oh, well, fine.

Now, where do I fit in?

I'm a part of your life.

I want some attention.

That's all I can say.

What is that?

What is that another threat?

I'll be gone before you can blink if it is.

Thank you.

You can't come.

I can go and I guarantee you'll never find me.

Well, somebody else will.

Someone else already did.

Almond, I'm doing the best.

I can.

We got a little something going.

I know that.

And you can't change it.

I mean, you've got to trust me.

I'm just playing with the hands.

I just decided to take you here.

She's supposed to have been looking for an apartment today.

You can really go to me.

Yeah, I was just on my way out.

Oh, Louise, this is my sister Almond.

Almond, Almond, it's Louise.

Very nice to meet you.

Almond, do you drink your milk?

Oh, thanks.

Good luck finding you, please.

Yeah, good luck.

I'm sorry, honey.

Everything's here.

Oh, thank you.

I'm gonna find more identical to shut up and find out.

Hi, baby!

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry, honey.

Everything's all right then.

It's all the reason.

It's all the reason.

I'm... You stupid fucking bitch.

Clean this shit up.

I just wanna...

Thank you, baby.

No.

Where's the coffee?

Hey!

Hey!

Just don't turn yourself in the sun.

Hey, darling.

Get the phone rings!

Don't answer it, all right?

Hello, Louis.

This is all right.

I want to apologize.

Well, thank you, but my problems are no excuse for my behavior.

I...

I want to make it up, too.

Yoo-hoo!

Frank?

Alma?

Frank?

Son of all that!

Jesus Christ!

Jesus Christ!

What do you think I'm going for?

I'm ready, guys.

Wait, wait.

Watch out!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

No!

No!

No one's ever gonna know.

What do you know?

You called her.

You called her.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Why?

Why?

Jesus Christ, honey.

Hermy was no big fucking deal.

It was strictly business.

You did this.

I did it.

That hell you didn't.

Then why'd you walk in like that?

Why'd you walk in like that?

She walked.

She uses fucking Christ.

Oh, God, tell it.

This shit doesn't happen.

I'm going home.

No, honey.

Honey, you ain't going no place.

All right.

I'm Aaron Mann.

I'm like to talk about alma mater.

Oh, are you a friend of hers?

No, but I know a grandmother.

I'm a private investigator.

I'm trying to find a match.

I'm trying to find a match.

Oh, well, I haven't seen alma in over a month.

Her grandmother told me she moved out.

She didn't seem too concerned, so I didn't seem to pursue it.

Maybe she's in kind of trouble?

Well, she struck up a relationship with a guy named

Frank Chiquet, and he's definitely in trouble.

I thought I could find her, and maybe he'll find him.

That doesn't sound like alma.

Oh, maybe not, but isn't there a word for it?

Well, what's that?

Transference?

Well, possibly.

Obsessive compulsive do transfer their obsessions.

Alcoholics become shopaholics.

Drug addicts become chockaholics.

We're rarely free from our obsessive behavior.

Okay.

I don't know.

All right.

We got almost 12 grand left.

That'll keep us going until we get organized.

Maybe in a day-gig for a while and such a bad idea.

Yeah, you're right.

Exactly.

Get my chin away.

Hey, I got news for you, chaps.

Don't make you rich.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

Free spirit dolphins.

I was going to find a new family.

It isn't me.

It's what you do for a goddamn living stuff.

Get yourself.

Just get a job.

Get out of the real world.

The real world.

That's what you're calling it.

What you know, man.

Kind of do I make it tough to make it the real world.

You're afraid.

Right?

You're just afraid.

That's it.

I've just done what I'm used to.

I don't want that much out, man.

And I'd be the goddamn dog catcher for keeping it and I shoot the cat.

I know.

Oh, man.

It's only once.

So five in the air.

Yeah, man.

It's already 87 degrees.

National Weather Service has us picked to read about 100 to 10 a day in the valley.

It's not a little unusual for this time of year,

but eight folks, we are in Phoenix, Arizona.

Excuse me.

Oh, yeah.

Hi.

I haven't seen you around.

Just move in.

Yeah.

I'm not relocating from my company.

So.

What do you do?

By the way.

I'm Jay.

Hi.

Jay and Eric.

I'm Frank.

Frank, the mother.

I do real estate development.

Yeah.

My company is looking to set up another sun city out here.

Something you won't have to worry about for a long time.

So you've been here a while, Jay.

It's only a few weeks.

My divorce was final the first to be here.

I'm so.

Thanks.

I decided I needed a change of scenery.

I'm looking for a house out here.

Well, there are a lot of really good opportunities out here.

And I figured that you've done anything for first to price as you can see.

30 years later.

I'm not bad for a couple hours.

Thanks.

I should say.

Frank.

Hey.

I didn't think you were going to be back until later.

Hi.

I'm Emma.

Thanks, sister.

Hi.

You make it look so exciting.

Maybe I should change and join you.

Well, I was just getting out of the tree.

Go ahead.

I don't know.

Nice to meet you too.

Staying with your brother?

Yeah.

Yeah.

We're making a new star here in Phoenix.

Ah, that's nice.

Frank was just telling me about the kind of work he does.

Oh.

Very busy.

That's where I was supposed to see him here.

God, it's late.

And I thought, look, why don't we take in a meal tonight and get to know each other?

Oh, I'd like that.

Sounds great.

I lived in apartment 6104.

6104.

Eight o'clock.

Okay, it's six eight.

Okay.

Um, see, it's dinner.

You were supposed to go to that job interview today.

I did.

Then, one guy's like me.

They're one kid.

The kind you can cut out of a cookie cutter.

Did they tell you that?

They didn't have to.

You could have talked into it if you really wanted to.

You just want to go and play in a game.

Don't you?

Your work's done.

Does it?

So she's next.

She may be.

Don't blow it.

Don't you dare blow it.

All right.

Give me my blouse, right?

I love you, honey.

I love you, too.

Excuse me.

I, um, have to make a trip to the little girl's room.

Don't you feel well, honey?

It's not very.

It's probably just my period.

I hope she's okay.

Okay.

How are you?

I'm fine.

You know, I was thinking while I was getting ready before.

Is there any more property like the one you found?

Well, there's this one, not.

It's bigger than mine, but it's a lot of my reach.

Why is that?

Well, the reason I ask is that I got a pretty good settlement out of my divorce.

And I was thinking maybe I would rather let it work

for me and put it into a dumpers, but take it in that.

It's hard work.

I see what you get me.

But the inside is a scoop and there's lots of like candy.

So, you don't think it's possible?

Yeah.

I don't want some thought.

I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

You really said anything.

Who do you mean?

Well, I mean, you're pretty sure what I'm saying.

But that's why you accepted my invitation here tonight.

Oh, that's not true.

At least not entirely.

I guess I should feel flattered.

Oh, definitely.

Hello?

Yes.

Yes, I forgot.

Except the call.

Oh, ma.

Where are you?

You've had everyone's words sick.

I know.

Um, I look, I'm sorry.

The call is the way I'll obey back.

I can't.

I just, I can't put the charges on this phone.

So, I'm in Phoenix.

We've got an apartment.

Who's we?

I think.

Are you seeing here?

I thought he disappeared.

Oh, well, I guess I found him.

No, that we had, um, we just had a little misunderstanding as well.

You know.

So, you're okay.

Ah, I'm fine.

I mean, we have our ups and downs like anybody else, I guess.

He's not exactly predictable.

But, um, I don't know.

It's not doing that exactly the way I thought they would, but then, you know.

So, what else is it?

What's going on, Alma?

Um, well.

Oh, you know, it's, it's gotten very complicated.

You know, love.

Oh, Alma, there was a private detective who contacted me a few weeks ago.

She's been hired to find Frank.

She says she wants to help you.

Her name is Aaron Randall.

I told her that if you called, you know, I tell you about her.

She left me her number.

What do you think, huh?

Alma, what do you want me to do?

I mean, do you need money and come out there if you want me to?

No!

No!

Well, just tell me what you want me to do.

I don't want you to do anything, okay?

I just called to see how you were.

Stay alone to tell you I'm fine.

And, uh, I'll call you again real soon, okay?

No, don't you don't hear that.

I can almost see you're writing that check.

Now, if you say anything at all, just trip something sweet and simple.

Don't run no tall tail like you're in on Martha, all right?

Are you listening to me?

All right.

Now, you move down here because of an investment you made with me.

Besides that, you just be a sweet and loveless of self.

You got it.

You got it.

I got it.

Got it.

Definitely.

Phone company records.

Right.

It'll be amazing what we can access.

I'll call you from there if I can.

Thanks, Ellen.

You've done good.

You know how men are always telling us women that we don't have a head for business.

But, following my women's intuition was really all I had

to go on after my husband died and Frank made me an offer.

I thought I shouldn't refuse.

Oh, that was right.

Jane's going to think we're in the land sales business.

Ellen's a great one for leaping in and I admit I thought she did it too quickly.

But it all worked out.

I think she's a little homesick.

Oh.

I can relate.

Ah, she'll get over it.

Anyway, I, I interrupted you.

Frank, you know darn well I've been trying to

get you to let me in on your little enterprise.

I mean, we've been talking about it for weeks.

This may seem a little selfish of me, but I think maybe it's not such a good idea.

Why?

Because I care for you a lot.

And I don't want to muddy the waters here.

Oh, honey.

Is this a good deal?

It's a good deal.

It better be.

I got most of my cash tied up in it.

Well, then, let me do it.

After all, how many business partners like me have you ever had?

We are in the money.

We are in the money.

The bank cash are checked without one question.

My biggest score yet.

Ooh.

Go by until something pretty.

What are you going to do when she wants to see the documents?

Well, those things take time to draw.

Well, Hamlet.

She lives six apartments over.

She'll know the minute we leave.

Uh-huh.

She'll call the cops.

Oh, man.

If you don't want it, you don't have to keep it.

Look, honey.

Well, hang around a while and then split.

But the time she figures out we're going back will be a thousand miles away.

Well, we'll save this.

I'm a bait.

I'm Aaron Randall.

Yeah, the detective Helen told me about it.

Can't tell you how happy I am to meet you.

It's missing in your life.

Look, Hamlet, if you're in any kind of trouble,

you know, I'd really like to help you out.

This is for you.

Grandmother wanted me to give it to you, since she's really sorry if she did

anything to send you away and she'd like you to come back home.

Yeah?

Well, you'll just have to tell her I can't do that.

You know, she really loves y'all.

That's very easy to see.

Look, you can't just farge into my life.

You really want to help me?

I can't get lost.

Just get lost.

OK, sounds great.

All right, we'll talk to you later.

OK, Hamlet.

Bye-bye.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I just, I left my sunglasses down with the pool.

That was Jane.

She's asked us to come meet a half past seven.

So be a good girl, don't screw it up.

You seem at a breath, Hamlet.

Yeah, I am.

Oh, no.

No, until then, it's simple.

I don't want to think I'm trying you too hard.

Don't be ridiculous.

He's bringing his sister.

Nice.

Oh, there you're now, honey.

I got to go.

All right, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Thanks, but.

Coming.

Hi there, partner.

How are you doing?

Fine.

How are you, Alma?

She's great.

I'm great that we are hungry.

Great.

Sit down, take a load off, and I will get you both to drink.

How's wine?

Wine is fine.

Uh-huh.

White?

White's perfect.

White, I want.

Yeah, two whites.

OK.

Oh, honey, love me.

Do something.

No.

It's OK.

I've got it.

It's OK.

See, it's always been so sweet.

Always.

You know, just before you all came here, I was talking to my sister in Minneapolis,

and she wanted to know when I was coming back home.

And I said, never.

Good to see you.

Salu.

They can have it up there, right?

Freezing to death six months out of the year.

I know just what you mean.

We spent our childhood in all places, North Dakota.

Our father was stationed in the air for something.

God, Emma, what we glad when he got transferred to Barksdale?

That's in Louisiana.

Emma?

Hello, thank you.

Frank?

Thanks.

Of course.

In Louisiana, you have the opposite problem.

You have to take a shower three times a day just to stay presentable.

That's how we came here.

We prefer to try here.

I feel exactly the same way.

Well, I hope you don't mind if the dinner is pretty Midwestern, but I haven't gotten

a hang of this white cuisine business yet.

I like a cuisine that sticks to my bones.

What is this?

Swiss smoking, then.

I hope you like it.

Indubitably.

I have this all the time at home.

No.

Don't we?

Frank, I don't want to mix business with pleasure, but...

I know what you're going to ask.

I call the general partner.

He was in a meeting.

So I made a appointment for tomorrow.

I'm going to wrap this up first thing in the morning.

I'm sure that'll be fine.

I'm just just curious.

Of course you are.

I'm sorry I didn't bring it up earlier.

That's okay.

I promise.

I'm not going to be a pest for that.

I'm sorry you didn't like your dinner.

I could easily fix you something else.

No, it was fine.

No, honestly.

No trial.

No, thank you.

I am.

I just haven't been feeling very well lately.

I guess I just get older and secure about my cooking as well.

I didn't mean to.

I didn't mean to.

I didn't mean to.

It's just you.

Maybe you should call it early.

You think you get some rest.

Those are the I can do.

Yep.

You're just relax.

Oh.

You better get with the goddamn program.

I'm amazed you managed to get there dinner without.

No, what?

This must be business, right?

This must be business.

What?

Up and up your shit, okay?

What do you think is going on here?

I know what's going on here.

It's right here.

Don't.

She's going to give me any of the amount of shit.

I can just keep it in love with you.

Who am I no different than?

I was just talking about some of the other investors that we worked with.

And one of them is a real problem.

You catch my check, how did you?

I'm sorry, but I said you've catch my check, how did you?

I've deposited it in my account.

And it won't have clear mind yet, will it?

I'm just going to call the 24 hour number.

See what my account does.

Sit down.

Jack.

No, you can't.

Who the hell are you?

I'll tell you who he is.

Go, go home.

I'll handle this.

My sister.

I just don't know how to invest money, but she

doesn't know a thing about how this business operates.

Yes, I guess she's a check.

I had to make sure the funds were available since the

goddamn owner wants to check on his desk in the morning.

Jane is much so I like and trust you.

You have to admit we hardly know each other.

Wait a second.

It's a fact.

I'm quite just sliding me about it.

I didn't, honey.

Okay, I got a real bad feeling about this.

So why don't you just give me my money back and we'll forget about the whole thing.

I can't.

You have to.

It's all I have.

Yeah, you have to.

Or I'll call the police right now.

You can't.

You can't.

You can't.

You can't.

You can't.

You can't.

You can't.

You can't.

You can't.

You can't.

Jesus, you scared me out to death.

Oh, I'm going to cut through the chase.

I'm trying to find you, Frank Chiketti.

I've got a client that wants to prosecute him for fraud.

You know, you're asking for a big trouble if he sees us talking here.

Well, I don't give a shit.

I'll say.

Look, why don't you just do your job, okay?

You know, go tell whoever it is that you found him.

He's right here.

I ain't going to do my job.

I just don't want you to get hurt.

You don't even know me.

I think you could use my help.

Who the hell are you?

Okay, it's good enough, Frank.

Excuse me if I see my little upset, I am.

So please get the fuck out of here.

Oh, my.

What's going on?

Who are you?

Um, but I... Just...

Huh?

Who are you?

I just... Who are you?

I live across the way.

I never seen you before.

Well, I haven't been here for a long, you

know, and I was walking behind so long, and...

I stopped to introduce myself, you know?

Make a friend.

You're coming a bad time.

Make friends somewhere else.

Go.

What?

Do you know what's going on?

Do you know what happened here tonight?

She was going to call me cops.

She was going to call the cops.

That was next.

She panicked.

Why did you?

I did what I had.

I did what I had to do.

Where is she, Frank?

Oh, she's dead.

She's dead, she's dead.

She fought me like an animal.

She was totally whacked out.

Uh...

We've got to take care of her.

By the time I'm back, have a spectacular day to go.

Or are you not here because you want to be... Not anymore.

Well, then what's left to say?

You know, your grandmother doesn't know what you're dead or alive.

What's your problem?

I can play this great.

What kind is that?

She's proud of me.

She loves you.

No.

No.

Then why'd she give me a locker?

I can't stay with this guy.

I'm going to go to jail.

You've got to start thinking straight.

Okay.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Put your hands.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, no.

Oh,

no.

Oh, no.

Alma?

You've got my card.

Okay?

So just call me.

Especially if Frank calls.

Don't worry.

The police are going to pick him up really soon.

Your grandma is going to be really happy to see you.

Thanks, not that.

What is it?

Thank you.

Okay.

Just stay in touch.

Erin?

Yeah.

He killed us, women.

What?

Jesus Christ.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

I needed him.

I'm sorry.

I don't have anyone to spare.

Maybe tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Maybe not.

Maybe he can be halfway to 10 bucks too by now.

I would be.

I wanted to stay close.

I'll make sure the patrols keep an extra eye out before.

Yeah.

Miss Banks is not really my client.

Oh.

Well, I'm going to do our best.

Yeah.

Sure.

You want me to spend the night?

You really can't afford this.

Don't worry about it.

I'll take care of everything.

Good.

Stay in touch.

No, you stay in touch and get somebody over here fast.

Okay.

I've asked Erin to spend the night if that's okay with you, Grant.

Of course.

I'll go fix up the extra.

Mm-hmm.

All right.

Did you call the cops?

What cops?

I didn't call any cops.

Didn't had you get here.

I took a bus.

Took a bus.

I took a bus.

I got in early this morning.

Orcast plenty of sunshine through today.

Exhausted.

You're exhausted at all.

I'm sure to disturb you.

Yeah.

Did you call the cops?

You ran out on me.

You weren't bad.

You know you never really wanted me around.

I don't want you out of my sight.

Until I say so.

That's a sweetie.

Let's just say I'm finally feeling bonded to you.

Happy.

Who's in here?

Grant!

Ah!

Stay in the pot.

Put it down.

Alma!

I said put the gun down.

No, you put the gun down.

We're going to blow her brains out.

Good.

Alma!

What are you doing?

It's cold.

You just get out of here.

Are you a cop?

No fucking right.

Tell me now.

Private detective.

You hired a private detective.

She didn't have anything to do with it.

Who did that?

Maria.

Maria Wilson.

Ah, the bird lady.

I'm a reenant.

All right.

You've been behind me, Alma.

The cops are one step behind you, Frank.

Tremble and shit.

All right.

Shut up.

You stupid okey bitch.

Fine.

All right.

Let us go up here.

Just let us go.

Back up and shut up.

All right.

All right.

But I heard us.

Why heard Alma.

Shut up.

Ever since you've warmed your way into my life, it's been a fast ride down the ship.

I showed you love and you pissed on it.

I thought I asked for your love.

She did.

You still know it.

You mean to me?

I don't need any more, Frank.

Don't kid yourself.

Don't kid yourself.

Don't do it, Frank.

Yeah, that's the way you feel about it.

You pissed.
