Don't you ever say my full name in front of a stranger!

You understand that?

What happened to your face?

Look, I don't know what's going on, but I need some answers.

And by the way, I'll say, whatever I goddamn fucking please in my house!

It's under control.

-It's under control? -Yes!

You have a girl, bound and gagged to a bed in there, Joey.

Now, I want some answers.

You better start talking.

Look, it was just a quick gig, Ma.

-What kind of the kind of gig? -The kind of gig that gets you the home on the water!

-All right? -And?

And I fucking took care of it like I always do!

Are you trying to tell me that girl in there is a witness?

Oh, my God! Joey, you gotta take care of this.

-Take care of this right now! -I know!

Look, she's going to go to the cops

or they're gonna come to her first!

I understand that.

Then why is she still alive, huh?

Why?

Oh, my God, Ma!

Put the fucking gun down.

Every second she's alive is a waste of her time

-and our time. -Ma! Put the fucking gun down!

Now!

-If you're sweet on her... -Oh, my fucking God!

If you're sweet on her...

you're compromised.

Now, you got three seconds!

Three, two, one!

She didn't flinch.

You know, this one time I was with Dad.

He was about to do this guy.

And it wasn't like he was a good guy or nothing.

Matter of fact, he was a real piece of shit,

And out of nowhere, Dad just...

lowered his gun and let the guy go, just like that.

Why?

Because he didn't flinch.

And I remember asking him why.

You know, why him?

He said, if a person is that confident,

he either knows something you don't...

Or?

Or they have a sacred heart.

A purpose to live.

Lord don't want them yet.

What she knows is that you ended someone's life.

And even if she truly is a good person,

believe me, she's not going to take it to her grave.

You have 30 minutes.

No screaming, all right?

You scream, and it's over,

you understand that?

Now, what the fuck happened to your face?

He put up a struggle.

He put up a struggle?

Before you fucking shot him?

I didn't shoot him.

He gets shot, it's another hit.

He just lies on the floor, beaten to death,

it's a disgruntled employee robbery gone wrong. Petty crime.

That makes sense. That's clever, Doyle.

Anybody see?

No, nobody saw.

Well, check it out.

That's double in there, by the way.

And we're not taking a percentage out

You... don't know?

It's my job not to know.

MIA: So people hire you.

What kind of people?

If it's your job not to know, why are you asking questions?

[SCOFFS] I don't know. Maybe just want more fuck ups.

[SCOFFS] Not killing me? Was that a fuck up, too?

What the fuck happened to, "Everything's going to be all right, James.

"Everything's running smooth, James."

Everything was fine.

The next morning rolls around and I still can't reach her.

So I start wondering.

Maybe Connor was trying to clean this mess

and she got the drop on him.

And now, now she's running scared.

She would have gone to cops already, Dougie.

Not necessarily.

She's fucking in on this.

You're so fucking stupid.

What about your guys?

Don't fucking worry about my guys.

Worry about your fucking guys.

What about you? What about you, motherfucker?

No. Nobody fucked anything up!

Don't fucking worry. I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.

Yeah.

Well, let's hear it.

I have a situation.

There's no situation too big that the Lord can't handle.

Save the preaching. All right?

I'm assuming...

your situation revolves around...

the work, right?

That's what you came here to talk about?

The Lord's work.

Yeah.

Well, then let's hear it.

I met someone.

Did you?

I did.

The path of the disciple

is one of solitude and selflessness.

Is this advice that you live by?

No.

Let's say, uh, hypothetically,

a disciple of the Lord is doing his work

and somebody sees him.

What is a disciple supposed to do in order to figure out the situation?

There isn't a situation.

Unless that somebody is innocent.

Correct.

Well, then he says his prayers over them.

And where there are any complications remaining,

he disposes of them humbly and discreetly.

[BUZZER SOUNDS]

Has the disciple done this?

Maybe he took the somebody back to the house of the Lord.

This is where I hang up the phone.

She didn't flinch, Dad.

What did you say?

She didn't flinch.

All right?

Well, then that somebody is certainly not innocent.

-No, Dad, look... -There is no situation.

-Dad, just don't... -And the disciple has been compromised.

-...your help, Dad. -Much more so than previously thought.

Look... maybe she had something to live for, all right?

-How about that? -Maybe, simply, she's beautiful.

And bold and impossible to navigate.

And she consumes every corner of your mind.

And you don't know whether it's love or bullshit.

And whatever it is,

it comes with all the warnings of a premium item.

Wrapped up in a bow

by the devil himself,

like your mother.

Look, I didn't practice what I preach,

and I have to live with that.

Now it's your turn to choose,

and I pray...

that you don't make the same mistake I did.

GLORIA: This is Joey's father.

Way, way back.

No teeth. He didn't have front teeth forever.

Ah, he's so cute.

This is his dad when he was young.

Jeez, Joey's the image of him, huh.

Looks just like him, I never even realized it.

Where's Joey's father?

He's not around anymore.

Well.

I'm gonna get dinner started.

-Okay. -Yell if you need anything.

[DOOR CREAKS AND CLOSES]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Hello.

Who is this?

Hello? Hello?

All right, you wanna play games?

Whoever the fuck is this, you're fucking dead.

How'd you get this fucking phone?

JOSEPH: And you don't know...

whether it's love or bullshit.

MIA: Thanks.

For what?

For keeping me alive.

JOSEPH: Now it's your turn to choose, and I pray...

that you don't make the same mistake I did.

[GUNSHOTS]

Hey.

How was your day? Hmm?

Go get cleaned up for dinner, huh. Use my room?

Yeah.

GLORIA: Dear God, I hope I'm doing the right thing.

[MUSIC PLAYS ON RECORD]

Hey, buddy.

I think I'm falling in love with this girl.

I know it's crazy. I know.

But I can't...

not feel this way.

[CHUCKLES]

[WHISPERS] What do I do, buddy?

GLORIA: Dear Mia, this is an old dress of mine

you can wear for dinner tonight if you like. Gloria.

♪ I love you so

♪ You're so real

♪ Keep on playing

♪ That sweet song...

-You look so handsome. -[LAUGHS]

Except you still don't know how to finish dressing.

Do not sit at a dinner table without buttoning your shirt.

I know, Mom.

Oh, well, then why didn't you button it?

♪ Play for me

GLORIA: Oh!

You look lovely.

[CLEARS THROAT]

So I made you guys lamb chops,

You can start with your salad.

You're not eating with us?

GLORIA: No, no. I already ate.

Help yourselves.

Enjoy.

Cheers.

Cheers.

[CAR PULLS UP]

MAN: Doyle!

Hey, Doyle.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

JOEY: Who is it?

-I'm coming. -Yo, what the fuck?

Come on, man, I smell something good cooking in there.

-[KNOCKING] -Doyle.

You gotta do something about all these fucking locks, man.

Jesus Christ.

[SIGHS]

Hey, where's your mother?

She'll be right back.

I'm not interrupting anything, am I?

Yeah, it's my ma's birthday.

See, Joey, I got this problem.

And that's, when I hire somebody for a job,

I hire the best guy there is for the job.

And that's why all these years, we've been hiring you.

Ain't nobody better than Joey Doyle, right?

Joey Doyle, the best that ever fucking did it, right?

-Am I right? -If you say so, yeah.

I'm saying so.

So then there's this odd little thing.

This... this girl, this assistant of Ed's

just goes missing.

Poof, gone.

[SNAPS FINGERS]

[JAMES TYPES ON CELL PHONE]

You recognize her?

Yeah.

What do you make of this assistant?

Not much.

But you know of her?

Yeah, she's Ed's assistant.

And you know she's missing?

I watch the news, James.

See, that's funny, because I watched the news

and I didn't... they didn't mention anything.

Not the news, the scanners.

-The police scanners. -The police scanners.

Yeah, they were talking about her, you know?

The possibility that they might think that she did it.

Really?

Yeah, really.

That's why I killed him in his office, remember?

You cased Ed's office for five days straight.

You didn't see this girl? You didn't know about...

Yes, of course I did. Sure I did. Yeah.

Okay, was she there the day of the hit?

Yes, she was there.

She's a fucking assistant, James. Assistants are always there.

What do you want?

And this assistant...

She left at 5:00 p.m. with everybody else.

All right?

So you don't... You hear this on your police scanners

and you don't think, "Hey,

"maybe I should call James and tell him about this?"

-It's not important. -It's not important?

No, she could be hiding somewhere,

scared for her fucking life.

She could've stole money, James, skipped out of town.

She could be with her fucking boyfriend for the weekend, oblivious.

There's a million scenarios. Who gives a fuck?

She's not with her boyfriend.

Fucking Ed's pounding that pussy.

Trust me. [BANGS ON PLATE]

That doesn't fucking matter.

Listen, we need to find this bitch ASAP

before the fucking cops do.

God forbid the cops find her before we do.

She tells them she didn't kill him, someone else did,

they start looking around...

Maybe she knows something we don't.

Point is, she's a fucking liability now,

and that's a loose end.

And I like my business clean.

No fucking loose ends.

But if we get to her first...

Come on.

Then we pin it all on her.

We fucking leave her in a fucking motel somewhere.

A few bills on her, a bullet in the head,

and a fucking note explaining the trail of blood

and how everything went wrong.

And I think we'd all be able to sleep a lot better at night.

Don't you think so, Joey?

Joey Doyle? I know I would.

I did my job already.

I'm not asking you.

I'm telling you.

Finish this shit.

Find this fucking cunt, all right?

And our debt's clear.

If not,

then maybe I got a couple more loose ends to tie up.

Tell your mother I said happy birthday, all right?

Let's get the fuck out of here.

[DOOR CLOSES]

MIA: Are you gonna talk to me?

[CRIES] Fuck.

I'm a prisoner in here,

and I'm dead out there.

Get up.

What?

I'm letting you go.

I should have never brought you here.

Tell the cops whatever you're gonna tell them.

Okay?

I'm sorry.

Say something.

Where are you hiding that piece of shit?

Lee's gonna...

[SIREN WAILING]

LAPD, don't move.

You're under arrest.

Drop the gun.

[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]

-What are they talking about? -Who gives a fuck?

At that hour, what could you possibly be talking about?

What is wrong with you?

Whatever you have to say then, you could wait for the morning.

DOUGLAS: Look, I'm just saying,

it might be what you think and it might not...

CONNOR: And it might not be, exactly, but it might be.

And that's the problem. Adam, what do you think?

Would you ever text your best friend's girl after 9:00 p.m.?

-Would you do that? -No.

No, right, you wouldn't 'cause you have fucking class.

You guys are making 9:00 out

like it's midnight. It's not even late.

No, the sun's down. That's all that matters.

ADAM: What did it say?

I don't read texts. Okay? That's not what I do.

-But I do know... -You need to chill the fuck out.

What about you? What do you think?

I don't know. Why don't you just ask her about it?

-No, I can't do that. -Why not?

Because then she's gonna know I looked at her texts,

-and I didn't look at her texts. -Yes, you did.

-But I didn't. -Yes, you did.

But I didn't.

-My name is Douglas. -Jenny.

It's very nice to meet you, Jenny.

Watch what I do, man.

-This is Connor. -Watch what I do.

Your friend here says that you're tired of working for the Stormtroopers

and you might like to come over and work for the Rebel Alliance.

That's right.

You understand undercover work is not black and white

like some Disney movie?

We deal in shades of gray.

Do I look like a Disney princess to you?

So, are you down?

[CLICKS TONGUE] When do we start?

Phone, wallet.

Name's Mia Rose.

Mia Rose?

Connor picked the name.

Dick.

Dude's name is Ed Terzian.

He's a councilman screwing over one crook to help another.

We need to know who.

Anything you need, you go to Connor.

You gather your Intel, go to Connor.

You find yourself in a tough spot, go to Connor.

And if for some reason you can't reach that hound dog,

you call me.

Got it?

Got it.

That's rule number two.

You know what rule number one is?

Never break your cover,

no matter what.

Mia, never break your cover.

Drop the fucking gun right now and turn around.

Drop it, Joey. Now.

Hands behind your head.

Hands behind your head!

Now with your left hand,

reach into your pocket and grab your phone.

Do it!

Throw it toward me.

[SIREN WAILING]

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used against...

Shut the fuck up.

Doyle, tell me. Should I shoot her?

Fucking cop. Ain't that crazy?

So what are we gonna do about this?

'Cause I don't really feel comfortable

with you... living anymore.

JAMES: Yo, come on!

Get in the fucking car.

[TIRES SCREECH]

Fuck. [CRYING] You're gonna die, man.

Your dad fucking told you, you fucking moron!
