[Emma] We have a process and if you let me get through this,

it will be easier for the both of us.

Do you have keys to your apartment?

I'm gonna need to see detailed expense reports at the end of each month.

Every dollar spent is a dollar accounted for, understood?

If you miss a meeting with me that results in a violation of your parole.

If you fail a random drug test or any drug test, for that matter,

you will be immediately incarcerated.

If you steal as much as a candy bar, you will be incarcerated.

Parole is a privilege.

Do you understand that?

This box has dead people in it. This box has people I sent back to prison.

Which box do you wanna be in?

[somber music playing]

[music stops playing]

[melancholy music playing]

[man 1] Wanna see Mommy leave? Can't leave.

Embrace fear.

If you do, the universe will reward you.

[mellow music playing]

[Avakian] The on... the only problem you have when you play

is your... your fingers are too fat.

[man 2] That's okay.

[man 2 laughs]

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm looking for a job.

Do you have experience in the restaurant industry?

Busboy, line cook, what?

I can do whatever you need me to do.

[sighs]

Where did you work before this?

I worked the kitchen at Chino.

Restaurant?

Well...

I already have a cook.

But what I'm looking for is a delivery driver.

Do you have a driver's license?

Can you drive a scooter?

A scooter?

-I can figure that out. -Good.

Because I have an old one in the back you can use.

You don't need driver's license for this.

But I'm telling you...

I get one complaint about you and you're gone.

I won't think twice. You understand?

You work hard, you keep your head down...

and we don't have problem.

Yeah. Okay.

Rule number one.

Whatever this guy tells you to do, you do the opposite.

This is Danny, my son, best dishwasher in the restaurant.

-Sometimes we let him cook. -Ah.

[mellow music playing]

[X] The secret to a happy life is to accept

that you are never actually in control.

To reach peaks, one must push through valleys.

[music stops playing]

[woman 1 on radio] I'll pull out a couple of the highlights here

as we continue to go through the report.

Uh, one of the stunning highlights here is that wildfires,

which we're seeing out west,

uh, they say if this is not brought under control,

wildfire season will burn up to six times more forest area

per year by the year 2050.

[X] As a boy, they treated me like a man...

punished me like a man.

Now as a man...

they treat me like a boy.

Next time you come here, you let me cook for you.

-Be my guest. -Oh, don't be shy

when I take you up on that offer.

-No. -And, please,

-if there's any problems... -Okay.

-...you can call me. -Sure, absolutely.

-Thank you. -Thank you very much.

Bye-bye.

I think she just come here for checking.

Make sure everything's okay. Okay?

[grunting]

Put more coffee.

[Danny] What's your name, man?

Excuse me? Do you have a name?

[speaking in foreign language]

You speak English? No?

All right, I was gonna offer you some of this J, but you don't speak English, so.

-Hey, do me a favor. -What?

Don't smoke that shit around me.

I'm sorry, uh, do you want me to put this out now?

[laughs]

Bro, it's my place. I do what I want.

If I wanna smoke in the kitchen, I'll smoke in the kitchen.

Good to meet you, man.

[rock music playing on stereo]

Hello? I got your food here.

[man 3] Yeah, write... write the check today. Like, right now.

I'm under a lot of pressure.

Can you write the fucking check for me? Come on!

-[man 3] Fuck! -There you go!

See, I know this is how it's gonna be, man.

Do I need to fucking call a therapist for you, man, or what?

Who is this?

Maybe that's your fucking new [inaudible].

[man 4] How can I help you, man?

Yeah, I got the food you guys ordered.

[man 3] Just leave them in the door.

Hey, you didn't order any food, you said you were hungry.

[speaking in foreign language]

I don't have any cash on me, but... but do you have any money to pay this guy?

I don't have any cash. See, he's getting angry.

Here, please take it.

Just do what you want with it. Take it.

[toilet flushes]

[man 5 on TV] Joined together with friends,

we reaffirm our shared customs, traditions, and values.

We love our country.

We celebrate our troops.

We embrace our freedom.

We respect our flag.

We are proud of our history.

And we pledge our allegiance to one nation under God.

[crowd] USA! USA! USA!

USA! USA! USA!

USA! USA!

[Avakian] My mother give this to my father for their engagement.

This is 1962 Movado Kingmatic mechanical watch.

They have two kinds of watch, you know. They have quartz and mechanical.

With quartz watch, this take a battery.

This make the tick-tock more accurate.

But mechanical, this runs of kinetic energy of your movement.

Understand?

Mechanical watch considered some of the most intricate machinery ever built.

You have to make a choice, you want fancy or you wanna be on time.

Oh, boy.

[Avakian] Good morning!

Good morning.

[Avakian] We were just talking about time,

something you clearly know very little about.

Dad, how many times I got to tell you

time is some bull-shit manmade construct to control you.

-Yeah, yeah. -[Danny] Fuck that noise.

-All right? -Sure. When you're right, you're right.

But time is money.

-You're three hours late, no? -[Danny] Three hours?

I also set up the kitchen this morning by myself and cooked this morning.

[Danny] Well, it's good for you, you know.

-Okay. -Old man get his hand... Dad!

You have to listen, okay?

[Danny] Ah, fuck!

I gave everything for you to have a life here.

You throw it away.

You throw it away.

Thanks.

[chuckles]

It's my dad.

[laughing]

Fuck. Come on.

It says here you have no living family.

-Is that correct? -Yeah.

If someone does try to contact you from your past,

I suggest you disclose that to me immediately.

The more honesty there is between us,

the better this experience will be for you.

If you wanna open any credit cards or cell phone accounts

or anything that involves credit, you have to inform me first.

Again, you were released early for good behavior,

but consider yourself a prisoner on vacation for now.

[man 6 on TV] Coming out of the area of Tijuana, Mexico,

this borders Southern California.

This as the news has come out

about whether or not an asylum deal has been made with Mexico.

These pictures you see here from moments ago,

Hans Nichols there with this group,

and Hans was just getting off the air and then this happened.

What you saw and witnessed...

[rock music playing]

[man 1] Mommy says she wants to leave.

You want Mommy to leave?

[woman 2 whimpering]

Oh, no!

[X screaming]

[mellow music playing]

I'm taking my wife out for dinner.

-Okay. -So, it's okay if you close up?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

I'm sure if you're sure.

Okay.

And listen,

I'm, uh, very sorry about the other day, okay?

I love my son.

Okay, goodnight.

Goodnight.

[howling]

[laughs]

[Danny] Open the fucking door!

-Open the fucking door, bitch! -I'm not opening shit, man.

-You don't what? -I'm not opening shit, man.

-Fucking put a bullet in my head. -I fucking what, man?

-Fucking put a bullet in my head. -I will.

Put a fucking bullet in my head, man.

-You don't... you think I'm not gonna do it? -Well, then do it.

Fucking do it. Fucking do it. I'll kill you motherfucker.

I'll fucking kill you.

Fuck, man! Are you crazy?

-You were gonna... -What the fuck is your problem, man?

You just fucking Jackie Chaned the shit out of me.

Come on, let me buy you a drink, okay?

I don't drink.

Well, come watch me drink then.

Come on! I'm sorry.

-Oh, dude. -It's not fucking funny, man.

-Okay, it wasn't funny at all. -Don't fucking play with me.

-All right. -I'm serious.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Damn, you've just been...

[hip hop music playing]

It's true, they don't have it in prison.

Like once a month, they get like--

-Yeah, those would be... -Karaoke machine [inaudible] hitting buttons.

All right, okay, basically you got to choose a song, any song that you want.

Half the shit's in fucking Korean.

-No, you don't... Oh, this is... -Now this is amazing.

You just like press one of these here

and then, you know, put the song on.

So, you got a lady?

No, man.

Are you a fag?

-What? -Just asking, man.

I mean, you don't drink, you don't fuck, some sort of monk or something?

No, I just don't have time for distraction.

Well, let good old Danny boy take care of that.

Drella, how are you doing tonight?

[Drella] I'm well. Thank you for asking. How are you?

Very well. All the better for seeing you.

[Danny clears throat]

[Drella] Is there anything else I can get you, fellas?

Now that's the loaded question.

Yes, Tina!

[laughs]

[hip hop music playing]

[low beat music playing]

What are you doing?

What your friend paid me to do.

We're gonna have fun. It's okay.

-Let's go. -That's it? Seriously?

Bro, like I thought I was quick.

But come on, you got 12 more minutes in there.

Hey, you want her, you can have her.

[Danny] Nah, she's not my type.

So, what you wanna do?

You wanna go like a late-night drink?

[X] Let's just get the fuck out of here.

So my boy Santos owns this spot. He throws me a job here and there.

You ever need anything, let me know.

[sniffs]

Yo, knock that shit off.

Don't worry, man. It's more than enough to share.

You don't get it, do you?

Uh, I mean, I gather you're a bitch.

I got goals. I can't be around this shit.

Yeah, I got goals too.

[somber music playing]

[music stops playing]

My favorite part of the day.

[X] What are we doing out here?

Why, you don't like the fresh air?

No, it just seems unprofessional.

[laughs]

I'm being lectured by a guy who's been incarcerated

since before he hit puberty about being professional?

You know I've never seen the ocean before.

I had a cut out photo of it up in my cell.

Every day...

I'd wake up and go to sleep looking at it.

Looked better in the photos.

Well, I guess we are all done here.

Hopefully next week, we can move to a more professional setting.

What if I wanted to start my own restaurant? Could you help me with that?

We have some relationships with banks that offer assistance,

but you don't meet the criteria.

-Why not? -Because I said so.

See you later.

[seagulls calling]

[motorcycle engine revving]

[singing in foreign language]

Did you stop for a few tacos along the way?

It's all right. Just tip the boy.

Of course.

Thanks, guys.

Garçon.

You wanna check it?

Where's the fucking pita?

I'm sure we can take it out of your bill.

Oh, I don't want it off my bill. I want my pita.

I don't know how I'm gonna eat this fucking hummus now.

[X] Take your money back.

Come, do it.

Keep your money. It's fine. It's fine.

I'll just use my fingers.

Fuck, that's delicious.

You want some, baby?

No?

Here, have you tried the hummus before?

[men laughing]

Oh, Bobby.

[somber music playing]

[foreign language song continues in background]

[sighs]

[motorcycle engine revving]

[inaudible]

Of course, but I should get in.

Five, one, two, three, four.

You forgot to, uh, give me a receipt for moped, for gasoline.

-[X] I have it in the bag. -Okay, yeah.

-How you doing? You good? -Yeah.

Um...

I was thinking you can't... you can't be delivery boy forever, you know.

I mean, you have to, uh, think about the future a little bit,

I think, uh, and to buy clothes

and to maybe have a family one day.

You wanna work here for me for the waiter?

I can do that.

A couple of shift, you start next week as maybe two shifts,

and then see how you like it and then maybe a couple more?

Yeah?

Do me a favor too, you know,

because I was thinking you keep an eye on my son.

He has a tendency to get mixed up in things that are beyond his expertise.

You understand what I mean?

Okay.

No more say nothing, okay?

-Good. -Thank you.

You're welcome. Thank you.

[mellow music playing]

[music stops playing]

[X] What can I get for you?

-[woman 3] How's the souvlaki? -The souvlaki is a great choice.

-I'll try that. -All right.

And that actually goes very well with the Aries beer, if you wanna check that out.

[man 7] We... we don't drink.

Anything else I can get for you?

[man 7] Does, uh... does this come with tahini?

Tahini is actually more Middle Eastern. We use tzatziki.

[woman 3] Heard but never tried before.

All right, I'll get that started for you.

[man 7] Thanks.

[mellow music playing]

[seagulls calling]

[screams]

Hello.

Hello.

Hello, this is my voice.

Hello, this is my voice.

Hello.

-[Emma] Are you still employed? -[X] Yeah.

[keyboard clacking]

Are you still living in the same place?

Yeah.

Have you had any sexual relationships?

[snickers]

Oh, it's, uh, really none of your business.

It's just a question.

In that case, no.

Sexual offenses make up 23% of the recidivists in the State.

The point I'm trying to make here is that I always suggest to my parolees

that they have a healthy sexual outlet.

[X] I'm good.

I'm gonna need those financial statements the next time we meet.

-Is that quartz or automatic? -Excuse me?

Your watch. Is that quartz or automatic?

You know, you put a battery in it or do you wind it up?

I wind it up.

That's fancy. See...

this is quartz.

Not as fancy, but it tells the time more accurate.

Got to make every second count.

-So, what do you think of Hollywood? -I hate it.

[laughs]

You hate it? You got shops like this, look at that.

-I think you'd really look good in the green. -Yeah, no that's...

that's me for sure.

Yo, it's like the sword from Yojimbo.

From what?

The movie Yojimbo. It's like a lone samurai,

he turns two gangs against each other.

No, I don't fuck with subtitles.

-You wanna come over for dinner tonight? -I don't know, man.

What, you got something better to do?

-No. -Come through. Also, I got this, uh...

business opportunity I wanna discuss with you.

So you can't smoke at this house anymore

for two months now, no smoking in the house.

You know who smoke in the house yesterday? This one.

You know who made the rule about no smoking in the house?

This one. You got it.

Incredible. But that's marriage.

Bob says you want to be in the restaurant industry as well someday.

Yeah, well,

-the way I see it, I'm already in the industry, right? -[Avakian] Yeah.

-So... -[Avakian] Absolutely.

Got to get started at the ground level, you know.

[Avakian laughs]

Yeah. Boy, you better get used to it down there, because unless me and Dad die,

there's nowhere else for you to go.

-There are other options. -It was a joke.

Well, you're always welcome to come over

and get a break from my husband's terrible cooking.

Let me tell you, it is not about the food, okay.

When I first started going with her, she eat everything I make.

Tuna fish sandwich, it doesn't matter, anything.

Chewing gum, the greatest chewing gum she ever had.

[snores]

-See? And now you can see. -[all laugh]

Anyway, you like Chinese food?

I've never had it.

I'm very sorry, you're fired.

[all laugh]

You can suspend him for a few days.

Yeah, you guys can put me on ice for a little bit, yeah.

[all laugh]

[Jane] Cheers.

-[Avakian] Good to have you here. -[X] Thank you. I'm glad.

Thank you for having me.

[Avakian] Thank you for coming. Or I'm sorry for coming. Depends how it goes.

[foreign language song playing]

Look out! No, no, no, no, no! But I don't hear that.

Pfft.

Right into the windshield, my first one shattered.

I got to ask you something.

Go.

Why are you doing this for me?

What?

I mean, I appreciate it.

But you gave me a job, responsibility.

Why?

Because...

you are an immigrant like me.

You... Maybe were born in this country,

but you are still a foreigner.

Okay?

Let me tell you.

Life is pretty simple.

It's people who are complicated.

All right, man.

[hip hop music playing on radio]

Yo, listen. Before you go, uh, I got this job to do tomorrow.

You wanna come and help? It's real easy.

Just got to take something from A to B.

It's good money.

I'm on parole.

Dude, it's all good.

[clears throat]

Give me your hand.

Yeah, I thought you'd like it.

Now get the fuck out of my car, please.

[laughs]

[breathing heavily]

[panting]

[X] To obtain something you've never had,

you must do something you've never done.

To obtain something you've never had,

you must do something you've never done.

To obtain something you've never had,

you must do something you've never done.

A warrior never goes into battle without accepting the ultimate outcome.

[car engine revving]

[Danny] I got you a gift. Ski mask.

[X] Why would I want a ski mask? I told you I'm on probation.

[Danny] Let me see.

[X] I got... I got it, I got it, I got it.

[Danny] All right, you ready?

[X] Why the fuck is that thing sparkling?

[Danny] Because I got fucking style, bro. Come on, let's go.

All right, follow my lead, okay.

-[man 8] Whoa! -[Danny] Good evening, gentlemen.

How are we doing this evening? We're here on behalf of Santos.

I believe you nice gentlemen have got a little package for us both.

[speaking in foreign language]

-Maybe you don't speak English. How about this? -[man 9] Just got a...

[gunshots]

[X] What the fuck are you doing?

[Danny] Just fucking get the bag and let's go.

Stay down, stay the fuck down!

-Go have a nice evening! -[Danny] We're safe to go. Take this.

[speaking in foreign language]

-[X] Fuck, man! -[Danny] Let's go. Let's go.

Go, go, go!

[gunshots]

[somber music playing]

[Danny laughs]

Yes!

Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker!

Did you see their faces, bro?

[continues laughing]

Bro, that was fucking legit, man.

Man, you see the faces?

I mean, they fucking saw me with the fucking diamonds.

Bro, that was priceless.

Now do you or do you not have fucking cold hard cash in your hand right now?

Okay, no one got hurt. Look, are there any fucking helicopters chasing us?

No. So, will you please relax? It's fine.

Yo, we good?

Don't lie to me next time.

-All right, I won't. -I'm serious.

Not a problem.

Now come on, let's go and have a drink, please. Drinks are on me.

Yes? Yes, okay. It's good. Come on, relax.

[door squeaks]

Thought I'd pay you a visit.

I didn't realize it was you.

I need you to fill this up.

It's the middle of the night.

Do it right here in front of me.

You want some?

[liquid sloshing]

Thanks.

Big dreams, huh.

[sighs]

Yes! Pay up, compadre.

See, man, fucking world is yours, you know.

-Got money to be me. -How many did you get off that?

I got like three, four... I got like seven bucks, bro.

Let me get a paper.

[hums]

I like to check out the competition, see what's new.

See, look at that. It's fucking bullshit, man.

[X] What do you mean?

Well, it's like all people want these days are gimmicks.

No one cares about quality anymore.

Fucking vegan, gluten-free, plant-based proteins, insta-ready meals.

It's like a fucking hipster paradise.

These guys are paying like 20 bucks

for something that costs maybe like three or four dollars to make.

People buy this shit.

[somber music playing]

Fuck what you think, you temporarily own.

Fuck what you think, you temporarily own.

Because if your physical and inner self...

If your physical and your inner self are taken care of,

none of that other shit matters.

Fuck what you think, you temporarily own.

Everyone you come across is like a new battle.

You know nothing about them.

[screams]

-So, you're here for the restaurant? -Yeah.

We're gonna have to see proof of employment, proof of funds,

finances past six months and bank statements, 1099s, W-2s, references,

background checks.

-What if I just pay cash? -Cash, we could do.

We'll still need a cosigner that checks out.

What do you mean by checks out?

Standard industry speak for somebody

who has good credit, you know, 700s.

Thank you.

[traffic noises]

[X] Yes, I understand what you're saying, uh...

Let's back up a little bit. What if...

what if I'm just serving other companies' pre-packaged products?

Would I still need a kitchen license then?

All right, so you're saying I would need a vendor's license on top of a kitchen license.

Got it.

Uh-huh.

Okay.

So then we would be looking at 3,700 all in, is that correct?

All right. All right, thank you.

[sighs]

[upbeat music playing]

[foreign language song playing]

So, tell me about this business approach.

You're really... you're really sure you wanna go and open your own spot?

Yeah. I just got to make all the right moves.

You sure don't need a business partner in this?

-Ha, fuck, no. -Oh, thank you.

I don't think my dad would be too happy anyway.

[X laughs]

He's not exactly the most relaxed guy.

It's understandable.

Come on, let's celebrate.

I mean, you're not in there anymore,

you're out here with me, these beautiful ladies.

Are you gonna join in the fun?

-[X] Give me that shit. -There we go.

-Give me that shit. -Thank you. At last.

It's time to go. Hey.

Oh, yeah!

-Get the fuck out, please. -What the fuck!

[somber music playing]

[music stops playing]

-What are you doing? -[X] I'm just putting this down.

-[Emma] What is that? -It's a voice recorder.

-What does it record? -I record reminders to myself.

I'm just putting that down.

Okay?

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything is good.

Come here.

[somber music playing]

Come here.

Look at me.

Don't move.

Your pupils are dilated.

So what?

[Emma] Hmm.

What, you're a fucking doctor?

You don't get it, do you?

What?

The dynamic of our situation.

What are you talking about?

What would you do if I asked you to piss in the cup right now?

Would you beat me up and overpower me and run away?

And then take a smoke?

Get on your knees.

Do it!

Does that feel good?

You're my little project.

[somber music playing]

[seagulls calling]

[X] As a boy, they treated me like a man...

punished me like a man.

Now as a man, they treat me like a boy.

Everyone that you cross paths with

is fighting a battle that you know nothing about.

[mellow music playing]

I am so appreciative of everything that you have given me...

but I need to do this.

Yeah, so things are going well for you?

They are. And I've learned a lot.

But now you're telling me that you can go out

-and get a place of your own just like that? -I'm not...

-I'm not saying that. I'm not... I'm not saying that. -You're not ready for that.

You're not ready for that. I scrubbed toilets for 20 years.

-Every day I come in here, man, you-- -You did it for 20 minutes.

I did not get this place until I was 40 years old.

That's the thing.

You and me...

we got a very different idea of time.

I understand.

So, please, can you help me get this place?

Let me think about it.

You know those guys that hired us to do that thing?

Mm-hmm.

They got any more work like that?

I mean, they always got something to do.

Doesn't mean it's always a good idea to do it though.

Yeah, I hear you.

But I can really use the money right now. You know what I mean?

Yeah, I get it, man. Dreams are expensive these days. I'll see what I can do.

Manifest our destiny.

[upbeat music playing]

I knew that we'd meet again.

Danny boy tells me tonight you wanna make some money.

Yeah. Depending on what it is.

A friend of mine needs to receive some goods

and services from me.

Just, you know...

personal items, family heirlooms,

cultural artifacts, stuff like that.

Nothing too special.

You get paid.

No guns.

[Rich] No guns.

Of course, no guns.

Do I look like a card carrying member of the NRA?

[tranquil music playing]

[sighs]

Where are we?

Mars.

[laughs]

Come on, check it out.

Ooh! Likey, likey? Look at this.

Fucking matches the track suit, bro.

How fucking cool is that? I think they change as well.

[X] You look ridiculous.

No, man, look at that, man, fucking matches the car.

-Look at that. -It's fucking cold, man.

It's fucking 4:30 in the morning, what'd you expect?

Beautiful though, right?

[crickets chirping]

Come on, tell me something you never told anyone.

We're friends, we're in the desert, just me and you.

All right, I'll go first.

I fuck dudes.

[scoffs]

-I'm serious. -Shut the fuck up, man.

I do. I mean it, man.

You cool with that?

Yeah, man.

No judgment.

You do what you got to do.

Thanks.

I just wanna make some money.

And I want a clean slate.

Driving a Ford Bronco.

Fucking guy's got a ski mask.

Hey man, how's it going? Name's Danny.

Okay, um...

What are we, uh, transporting today?

Doesn't wanna talk. You're the silent type or what?

-What are these guys? -Open the fucking trunk.

[Danny] What, for these guys? No, fuck that shit.

[man 10] ...whose mental and physical powers

were developed to the absolute peak of human perfection.

But there came a day when giant quakes threatened to destroy Krypton forever.

Found himself possessed of amazing physical powers.

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive...

able to leap tall buildings in a single bound,

the infant of Krypton is now the Man of Steel!

To best be in a position to use his amazing powers

in a never-ending battle for truth and justice.

A passing motorist found the uninjured child and took it to an orphanage.

[Danny on recording] Obviously, I'm not picking up,

so I either can't talk or I don't wanna talk.

Leave me a message and maybe I'll get back.

[mellow music playing]

Hey.

-[Avakian] Hello. -Can we talk?

Anything you have to say, you can say in front of them.

[X] All right. Well, I'm looking for Danny.

-Is he working today? -No.

He has not been here all week.

His mother is worried sick. [speaks in foreign language]

But you're not worried about it, right?

You're just gonna hang out and play fucking board games?

[Avakian] He's a grown man.

So, you have no idea where I can find him?

[speaking in foreign language]

Hey.

Hey, look at me when I talk to you.

If you don't find him at the department,

maybe you look in the jail or the cemetery. Okay?

You know my dad was a real piece of shit, too.

Okay, you can go. Nice talking to you.

-You're a fucking fraud, man. -Okay.

[speaking in foreign language]

[knocks]

Yeah, it's the middle of the night, man.

I need my fucking money, man.

-Yeah, now is not... -I don't give a fuck.

-Dude, don't... -Get the fuck out.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa. -I don't wanna meet your fucking friends.

-Don't fucking... -Eh, eh, eh,

-don't fucking touch me. -Don't come into my fucking place

and disrespect me and my friends like that.

-T-dawg, you're not going anywhere. -It's all good, man.

-It's all good. I'm out. -Fucking sit down.

I'm out. It's okay, we had a good night, we had a good time.

You look beautiful. I love you.

You wanna, uh... you wanna take a seat?

No. I want you to get my fucking money. I'll get the fuck out of here.

You can go back to doing whatever bullshit you were doing before.

-Let's go, let's go. -Okay, all right, all right.

Yes, yes, sir. I'll go get your money, all right?

[upbeat music playing on radio]

-[X] What is this? -What's it look like?

This isn't even half of what we discussed.

It's all I've got.

What do you mean it's all you got?

I mean, I had some and then I spent some and now that's what's left.

What do you mean it's gone?

-I mean, I have... -No, no, what do you mean it's gone?

Where's my fucking money, man?

You really wanna make it about this?

Come on, man.

Why are you here really, huh?

This isn't about the fucking money.

Tell me the truth.

Admit it.

For me and admit it to yourself, why are you here really, bro?

What the fuck are you doing, man?

What, you don't like this? You don't like it when I get close to you?

No, you're fucked up, man.

-You're fucked up. -Yes, I'm fucked up. But at least I admit it.

Admit that you're fucked up too, huh.

-I don't fuck this shit. -What is this?

What is this rela... What... what is this?

-What is what? -Me and you, what is it?

Why are you really here, huh?

Hmm?

What do you wanna say?

I don't fucking need you, man.

-I know you. -I don't fucking need you, man.

-I fucking know you. -Your fucking dad hired a guy straight out of prison

-to be your fucking babysitter. -No, don't fucking talk about that.

Yeah, yeah, to be your fucking babysitter.

And I'm still more of a fucking son than you'll ever be.

Dude, you ain't got no fucking family. Ain't got no family, all right?

Don't fucking talk shit about my dad, all right, or my family.

Looks like we got Bert and no Ernie. You guys have a domestic dispute?

Hey, why don't you just shut the fuck up?

You got something? I'll do whatever you need me to do.

Don't be so desperate.

I like to be teased.

[woman 5] I know that.

How much do you require for this adventure?

Ah.

Is that US?

You know I don't like to touch money.

I never did. I think it's disgusting. I think it's filthy.

I think I'm allergic.

But my friend here will provide you with one half right now,

and then the other half when it is done.

What is it I'm doing?

What do you mean personal shit?

Your fucking mother?

How does that concern me, bro? Everybody's got cancer.

What, but you got money to spend to take your girl to Nobu,

[Emma] Why don't you do us all a favor and go do something illegal

so I can throw your fucking ass back in jail?

-It's clearly where you want be. -What are you talking about?

You are displaying all the signs of somebody who wants to go back to prison.

I don't know, maybe you like it there.

What is that?

It's a lease for a restaurant.

I put you down as a cosigner.

Where the fuck did you get my information?

-I didn't think you'd mind. -You didn't think I would mind?

No. I have the money, I just needed a name to put down on the lease.

You didn't think to ask your parole officer?

You're gonna go back to prison.

[Emma on recording] Get on your knees.

Do it!

Does that feel good?

You're my little project.

[mellow music playing]

Hey, you wanna try out a restaurant? There you go. Thank you.

-Oh, what up, man? -How are you doing, man?

-This all you? -Yeah, this is my spot.

It's gonna be right over here next week.

I'm just opening it in like as a pop-up for a little while.

-Can I take a portrait? -Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I'm an artist.

I try and shoot like all the people I run into and like...

-Oh, okay. -Your vibe, bro.

This... this was something special, something different.

But... but I got to know. Can I get your story?

No, I really appreciate it, man. Thank you, guys, for coming out.

[X] My past didn't matter to me...

but somehow that was all anyone judged me by.

They didn't see me as a human...

just a broken vessel in an empty sea.

I realized my physical journey brought me to a higher spiritual goal.

No handcuffs or prison cell could cage my spirit.

There is a supreme law of the land here,

one that presides over all others.

Steal a little, you're a thief.

But steal a lot, you can be king.
