["Can't Get No Bud"

by the Green Leafs playing]

Money in my pocket

But I just can't get no bud

Oh, no

Money in my pocket

But I just can't get no bud

Oh, no

I'm looking for

The four to the two

To the oh, oh, oh

Calling everybody but

They won't pick up the phone

Oh, no

Calling everybody but

They won't pick up the phone

Oh, no

No one answering the phone

I guess I'm on my own

I'm searching, seeking

For the sticky

But no one home

Don't know why I cry

Or why I feel so bad

'Cause I'm looking down

Ain't nothing in my bag

I feel alone without my

Marriage almost all the time

Forget about though, cool

Yeah, I'll be fine

I'm feelin' low myself

Stuck on this dry spell

Trying to feed the crime till

But no one got

The good to sell

Got me searching on the block

Sold the guy the somber bud

Only want that purple, man

No one got the sugar stock...

[siren wailing]

[music fades]

[horn honks]

[man groans]

Hey, please, help my friend!

He's dying! Please!

-Put your hands in the air!

-Let's go! Let's go!

Get down on the ground!

Look, you can arrest me!

Just someone please

help my friend!

-My friend got shot!

-Get down on the ground!

[door opens]

So do I get to make

a phone call?

First of all, why don't you

tell me why you're innocent?

My friend was shot.

If I wasn't driving fast,

he could have died.

Is he okay?

Can I make a phone call now?

Yeah, he's fine.

DA is questioning him.

Right now,

you need to worry about you.

I needed to save my friend,

so I drove fast.

You think I'm investigating

a high-speed chase

for ten blocks?

When do I get the phone call?

Well, I'm trying

to figure out why

you are on a high-priority-

pickup list with the FBI.

Now, they can hold you

for 24 hours, so no phone call.

-For what?

-I don't know.

But it looks like

you have pending charges

with the DEA and the FBI.

There's something big going on,

and you're part of it.

What are you talking about?

For one, I'm talking

about the dead guy.

You just said Joseph was fine.

The dead guy on your front lawn.

Who? Jared?

Do you know Jared?

Uh, because he's--

He's in the other room.

He's got a lot to say about you.

But then, maybe you've got

some things to say about him.

Look, I know nothing

about nobody,

and I don't have sh*t

to do with Jared.

All right. Here we go.

Is this some type

of tape recorder?

-I'm not a snitch.

-Yeah.

My officer took this

at your house,

then he got kicked off

the crime scene by the DEA.

Why do you think

I know this guy?

Look, you are about to be

dragged into whatever it is

Jared is involved in.

Okay, I don't know

what Jared is into.

I don't think he's a bad guy.

He's just stupid.

[scoffs] Yeah, I'm trying

to help you here.

Uh, all of your charges

are attached to Jared.

If he goes down, you go down.

Like I said,

I don't know anything.

I didn't do anything.

What--? Look, I--

Why are you protecting him? Huh?

You don't owe Jared, do you?

What's your relationship to him?

You'd better start talking.

I met Jared in high school.

You know...

Back then,

my life was so shitty.

[man from inside] Oh, sh*t.

[woman] You've been telling me

that you are gonna fix

this remote for a week now.

[door closes]

[door opens, then slams]

Hey, Andrew. How was your day?

[Andrew] How was

your day with Mike?

[sighs]

[motor splutters]

I thought he was

supposed to fix that.

Well, yeah,

he was supposed to fix it,

but he said he'd get to it.

Isn't that what all men say?

Real men do what they say.

-What's for--?

-Hey, no! Oh--

[chuckling] Oh, you jerk. No.

-Gosh.

-I'll help you fix

that later, Mom.

Thanks, Andrew.

[mutters indistinctly]

Hey, Mom, can you

hand me the Allen wrench?

Okay. Uh... is it

the twisty thing?

[chuckles]

No, it's the, uh...

Hey, hey, I got a new remote.

[chuckles]

[Andrew] Did it come

with a bear?

Give me a break.

I'm apologizing.

With a bear and a remote?

Come on, help me out here.

It's okay, Andrew.

I like... bears.

Okay, you wanna get out of here?

I'll buy you a steak.

All right.

Just give me a minute.

Good. I'll program this,

make a call, then we'll go.

Okay.

Hey, what's up?

-Yeah, man. What do you need?

-When can we get together?

[Mike] Mm.

[mom] We'll be back

in about an hour, okay?

All right.

Yeah. You know I can.

All right, brother. Later.

Yo, Keezie!

What's up, man?

Hey, man,

you remember that cat Adam?

-The rocker guy?

-Yeah.

I gotta roll, but, uh,

he's coming over.

So, uh, make sure you, uh,

talk to him when he gets here.

-All right.

-Thank you very much.

No problem, man.

[man] Yo, knock, knock.

[Andrew] Hey, come in.

Is Mike here?

He's just grabbing some food.

He'll be back here soon.

Okay.

[Andrew] You can wait

here if you want.

All right.

Want a beer?

I feel like I should say yes.

Good call.

You should trust that.

-Thanks, man.

-Yeah, no problem.

-You're Andrew, right?

-Yeah.

-I'm Jared.

-Nice to meet you.

Yeah. What do we got here,

a busted disposal?

Yeah, I'm working on it

right now, but it won't spin.

Do it later, man.

We got beers to drink.

Oh, speak of the little devil.

How long you been here?

I just got here, but I've been,

uh, chilling with Andrew.

All right.

I was thinking about

hanging out with Joseph.

Okay, but just

don't be too late.

[Mike] Where's the remote?

You guys seen the remote?

[Mike sighs]

[Andrew] All right,

I'll see you later.

Oh, and don't use

the broken side of the sink.

[giggling]

-Let's go do something, Joseph.

-No. No way. What's up?

Dude, whatever, man.

I'm too busy.

[Andrew] You got chocolate

on your teeth, man. Let's go.

-I do. You want a bite?

-Yeah, sure.

-Dude, let's go.

-Okay.

Let's go.

-Hurry up.

-Okay.

Dude, you coming or not?

Let's go.

[upbeat rock music playing]

[Joseph] Dude! Don't touch that.

[Andrew] Hey,

car coming, watch out!

[Joseph] Oh, what's up?

[Joseph] Hey, man,

where we going?

[Andrew & Joseph

speaking indistinctly]

[Joseph] What are we doing?

Dude, why are we watching

boring people watch boring sh*t

in their boring house?

[spectators cheering on TV]

-[Andrew] Got it.

-[Joseph] Got what?

[Andrew] What do you

wanna watch?

[laughs]

Look at that.

-Are you sitting on the remote?

-No, I am not. It's right there.

-[Andrew] Do it one more time.

-Dude, do it one more time.

[both laughing]

[Joseph] Oh,

they have no clue at all.

-[woman] What is going on?

-Dad, there's someone

in the window.

-[girl laughs]

-[woman] What?

[Joseph] We gotta go!

Andrew! Come on.

-Andrew! Andrew, we gotta go!

-Go.

-Hey! Hey, hold it right there.

-[Joseph] Come on.

[man] Get back here!

I'm calling the police!

[Andrew & Joseph laughing]

Did you see her dad?

He was all like,

"Get back here, you shitheads!"

Yeah, he was. He was like,

"Hey, get back here!" [laughs]

-Hey.

-What?

-What does this look like?

-I don't know, Joseph. [laughs]

[siren wails]

[Andrew] Oh, Jesus.

Are you boys having a good time?

Yeah. Actually, we kind of are.

[officer] All right,

let's go for a ride.

[Joseph] Yo,

let's get out of here.

[Andrew laughing]

[upbeat rock music continues]

[indistinct radio chatter]

Hey!

-What's going on

in the parking lot?

-We're so busted if we're seen.

-Okay.

-After this car. Go.

Hurry up, Joseph.

Shut it, shut it.

[music stops]

Shh.

-[Joseph] Meow.

-[Andrew] Dude.

[woman] Kitty?

-Meow.

-[woman] Kitty?

-[Joseph] Meow.

-[Andrew] Boo!

[shrieks]

Dude, we gotta go.

[woman] Damn you!

[Andrew] It's all right.

[footsteps retreat]

What if he's hurt somewhere,

or he's lost, or what if--?

What if something

happened to him?

Lauren, I'm sure he's fine.

Andrew!

Oh, my God, Andrew.

[Mike] Where were you?

Answer me.

I was out.

Out? [sighs] Your mother

was worried sick.

Andrew, where were you?

I fell asleep

in a newspaper bin.

A newspaper bin. How convenient.

Well, did you read

while you were there?

Like, how to be

a respectful son?

Andrew, what's going on?

Lauren, he's not gonna change

unless you do something drastic.

I mean, when I was his age,

my mother kicked me out.

Best thing ever happened to me.

[scoffs]

You disrespectful a*s-wipe.

-You're a disrespectful

display of humanity!

-Okay. Okay, no, stop it.

Stop. Stop. Please.

Andrew.

Maybe he's right.

You know what?

Something's gotta change.

You're-- You don't have

any ambition to graduate,

and you're just

missing school...

You just have to find out

what life's about.

Fine. I'm out of here.

Thanks, Mom.

-Andrew, I'm s--

-No.

Oh, my God. Thank you.

[woman] Pervert.

-One?

-Uno.

Right this way.

[Jared] Oh, wait. Hold up.

Hey. Little man.

From Mike's place.

What's with the down face?

What's with the bag, dude?

You look like a bum. [chuckles]

Yeah, well, I am.

Oh, yeah?

Aren't you living with your mom?

[Andrew] Would I be

a bum if I was?

Hold-- Hold up, hold, hold--

Hold up, little man.

Listen. Listen. Sorry.

I got a-- I got a room

at my house.

If you wanna stay there, it's...

You can.

How much is rent?

I don't have a job.

I know, man, but, uh,

we can work all that out. Uh...

Why are you trying to help me?

I don't know, man. Just, uh...

Don't tell anybody, but, uh,

I'm trying to be

a better person.

Right? But I do have

one rule, though, man.

Don't tell anyone

that you're living at my house.

Got it?

So-- And you wouldn't have been

in here if you weren't hungry,

so, like, uh,

let's go feed your face.

-All right?

-All right.

[Jared] Come on, man.

Welcome home. [chuckles]

Well, she needs a good cleaning,

but, uh, if you can make her

look respectable, you can stay.

Bathroom's down the hall.

See that room

right across the way over there?

Stay the hell out of it.

[chuckles]

[Andrew] You have any extra,

like, cleaning sh*t?

You know, maybe

a garbage bag or something?

Eh... no!

[Jared chuckles]

You're all moved in.

Let's go meet

some of my buddies.

-All right.

-Come on.

Wait. Hold up.

Hey, dude,

if I told you that, uh,

every once in a while,

I sell pot,

would it, uh, freak you out?

-I don't think so.

-Good.

'Cause I sell pot

Every once in a while.

-Cool.

-Right on.

So you want a little, uh,

smoke-a, smoke-a?

Well, I've... never...

Never actually smoked.

What?

Well, I've smelt it,

but it was gone

by the time my turn came.

-Oh.

-Yeah.

Well, it's time for your turn

to come again.

[both chuckle]

-It's about time.

-[Jared] Aw. What's up, brother?

-Where you been?

-On the move, sucker.

-Where you been?

-I've just been waiting here

-for your a*s.

-Aw, sorry, man.

I got a little sidetracked

with my new roommate, Andrew.

What's going on, guys?

Andrew's never

smoked weed before.

He would have,

except it was always gone

when it came his turn.

Yeah, I remember my first time.

I didn't even get high.

But Jared's weed?

Now, that sh*t works.

That's nap time.

-It's just pot, right?

-Grown from the earth, homie.

Here, let me show you

how it's done.

Um, I'm actually good for now.

I'm just gonna go

-to a friend's house.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-All right, well, hey.

Oh, I have no money.

Dude, you're my little homie

now, all right?

-Roommates.

-All right, man. Thanks.

All right, don't forget to chow

that if you get pulled over.

[Andrew] All right, I will.

See you.

All right. Take care, brother.

Skipping me?

-What was your question?

-How do you know Jared?

Before I graduated, I stayed

at his house for a month.

Why so short?

Tiffany.

All right, who's Tiffany?

She's the love of my life.

Why's my sister looking for you?

Your sister? I don't know.

-[Joseph] I'll go get her.

-Wait.

-[Joseph] I'll go get her, okay?

-[Andrew] Wait.

[Joseph] Hey, Lace. He's here.

What's up, you little sh*t?

Wait. It smells

like weed in here.

Right?

Yeah, it does smell like pot.

Are you stoned?

No.

Since when did you

start smoking, anyways?

Since I moved out

of my mom's house.

Wait, what?

Yeah, I got kicked out because

I didn't come home last night.

-Oh. Where are you staying now?

-Does it matter?

Let's go ask my mom

if you can

-move in or something.

-I got a place, okay?

[Joseph] Wait, you got

your own room?

Yeah, but it's empty.

I need stuff.

Do you have any extra,

like, blankets or towels?

You know, any stuff

you rich kids have?

-I'll trade you.

-[Joseph] Uh... Wow.

Wait. Mike?

Is he helping you?

I thought he hated you.

Oh, I don't think he knows.

[Lace] Look, I--

I just called Tiffany.

She's on her way over.

She wants to talk to you.

[Tiffany] You little sh*t.

It was you changing

my dad's TV channel.

[Andrew] Does he know it was me?

-Not yet.

-What does that mean?

I haven't told him yet.

Look, hey. How about Andrew

helps you fix your car stereo?

I mean, he's a great

fixer guy, right?

Yeah, let me fix your car.

Please?

-Come on. Come on, let's go.

-Come on.

-Okay. See you later.

-Bye.

-[Andrew] Very nice car.

-Yeah, it doesn't work.

It hasn't for a while.

Do you have a lighter

or anything?

Yeah, the middle--

The armrest thing.

[Andrew] Yeah.

[lighter clicking]

[object scrapes]

-What, you think it's a penny?

-[grunts]

Dude, forget about it.

Never mind. I'll just take it

somewhere else, all right?

Okay, okay. Give me one second.

Yeah, it's just a fuse.

That's easy.

All right, $5 and I think

your stereo will work.

-I'll be back.

-Okay.

Well, well, Andrew.

It's been a while.

-How you doing?

-Things are good.

-Aisle 10 in the middle.

-Thanks.

Hey, the tool man called,

and he warranted

that tool you left with me.

He was also wondering if

you'd sell your dad's old tools.

I don't wanna sell

my dad's tools.

I don't blame you. [chuckles]

Is there anything else?

Be $3.12.

-There you go.

-Cool.

Oh, and, uh,

tell your mom hi for me.

You'll be hearing from her soon.

Broken disposal. See you.

[clerk] See you. Take care.

All right, you gotta get out,

because I'm about to get

all up in that dash.

Okay, crazy.

[Andrew chuckles]

All right,

let's see if this works.

Just a quick switcheroo.

[static crackling on radio]

-What do you wanna listen to?

-You choose.

[tender pop music

playing on radio]

-Thanks.

-Yeah.

-You got that light?

-Yeah.

Here, I got you.

-Look at the road.

-Thanks.

Good. Thanks.

Dude, driving without music

has been driving me

batshit crazy.

Instead of throwing your

cigarette butts out the window,

just place them in here,

and I promise you

it won't stink up your car.

Just shut the lid.

Okay.

It's better than throwing

them out the window.

[mutters indistinctly]

-Cool.

-Don't be mean.

You're being mean to me.

[music stops]

-Okay, well, I'll see you later.

-When later?

Um, what are you doing tonight?

I don't know.

-[Jared] Hey.

-Hey, what's going on?

[Jared] Come on in.

[Andrew] Those pants

are pretty spliff, man.

[spacey electronic dance music

playing on speakers]

I know this is hard to believe,

but I don't always

get my homework done.

Why isn't it done yet?

-Here.

-Okay, I'll make you a deal.

Um, you be a good boy

and do your homework,

and I'll give you a kiss.

You kidding me? Deal.

[Tiffany chuckles]

You guys are getting a whole lot

of something done in here.

You guys doing homework?

Yeah.

So, what's up?

[grunts]

You know,

just having a great night.

Can I level with you?

I'm on some of the best Molly

I've ever had.

-What is that?

-[Jared chuckles]

You guys are probably too young.

-[Andrew] No, you think?

-Beers?

[Tiffany] Thanks.

Yeah, man, it's good sh*t.

Mm. Wanna try some?

What kind is it?

It's the extra-specially

yummy kind.

Hey, come on.

We gotta finish this homework.

Promise it won't hurt me?

[Jared laughs]

You will be fine. [giggles]

Wait, no, hold on.

The f*ck is Molly?

Ah? Ah?

Okay, I'll try it.

[Jared] Right on. There you go.

Tiffany, do you even know

what you just ate?

-No, but I've heard about it.

-Living life.

Come on, just take it with me.

Come on.

[Jared whoops]

[Tiffany chuckles]

[Jared laughs]

All right.

You guys have an extra-specially

delicious kind of a night.

We're down here.

You know, there's a party?

-[clicks tongue]

-[door closes]

-Let's go.

-What?

Come on. Let's go have some fun.

Let's get out of here.

[spacey electronic

dance music continues]

[inaudible dialogue]

[music fades]

Andrew, you're not telling me

what I wanna hear.

What do you wanna hear?

[recorder beeps]

Jared is not in the next room.

He's in ICU.

He's unconscious but stable.

What happened to him?

Is he okay?

He'll be fine.

Look, if you want me

to help you,

you gotta tell me

your true story.

[knock on door, then door opens]

Hey, Jared let me in.

-Tiffany, hey.

-Can I talk to you?

I've been trying to call you.

It's been like a month.

Why have you been avoiding me?

Well, things got out

of control that night,

and I guess I just had to deal

with the consequences.

What's wrong?

What's wrong, Tiffany?

I'm pregnant.

Wow.

My dad wants me

to get an ab*rtion.

What, your dad knows?

Yeah, I took a pregnancy test,

and my mom found it

in the trash.

I should've just told you.

It's mine?

Yeah, no question about that.

I knew it was a bad idea. sh*t.

So, what's the plan?

For you? Um, nothing.

You don't have to do anything.

Well, what are you gonna do?

Well, I've been

thinking about it,

and I think that

I'm gonna put off college

and raise it.

I'm with you.

I mean, if you want me to,

I can help raise the kid.

If you're serious...

I need the help.

-Okay.

-I don't know what to do.

Come here.

[knocking on door]

[Andrew] Jared's house

was not a good place

for Tiffany to be pregnant.

[Andrew] Hi, Mom.

[Lauren] Oh, Andrew.

Gosh, where have you been?

It's been a month. A month.

What--? Where have you been?

What's been going on?

I-- I'm-- I'm sorry.

I'm just so upset.

I haven't heard from him

for a whole month.

I've just been so worried.

Yeah, if my kid did that to me,

I'd whoop him.

Well, if you want a real reason

for whooping me...

Mom, this is Tiffany,

and we're having a kid together.

And we kind of need

to move in here.

Oh, my gosh, Andrew.

I gotta go sit down.

What are you gonna do

about this baby?

Tiffany's dad wants her

to get an ab*rtion.

Tiffany, come in here. Come on.

Honey, is that what

you want to do?

No.

Um, but I'm afraid to go home.

-Oh, it's okay.

-My dad wants to go in today.

How old are you?

Nineteen.

Well, then,

it's not his decision.

There's no way

I'd let that happen.

No way.

It's gonna be okay.

[Lauren] Mike moved out.

You kids are gonna move in here.

You'd just take me in?

Tiffany, are you a good eater?

Because no grandkid of mine is

gonna eat that processed crap.

I could eat better.

[Andrew] What about you, Mom?

You haven't eaten anything.

What's wrong?

If I do chemo now,

I have a better chance

of surviving the cancer.

Were you even gonna tell me?

How long have you known this?

How could I tell you, Andrew?

You haven't even been here.

Well, let me guess.

Broken disposal.

[Lauren] Hi, Brian. How are you?

-I'm holding on.

-Good.

[Brian] But I should

just let go.

[Lauren] Oh, quit it.

-Well, come on.

-Yes.

Let's take a look

at what we have in stock.

Hey, do you remember when

we took that bus to Washington

and got the NEPA Act passed?

-I do. Oh, my gosh.

-[Brian laughs]

And the toilet overflooded

on the bus.

And I remember that Mark

actually was with us that time

because he is the one who put

that disposal in our place.

Really? You know, I wish

I could sell you a disposal

as good as that one,

but everything built

today is disposable.

Oh, gosh. Well, he used to fix

them. Is he still in business?

-Not anymore.

-Gosh.

Why don't you start fixing them?

Well, everything is just

designed to be nonserviceable.

Well, are you looking

for any help right now?

'Cause I'm handy.

Well, I'm always

looking for help.

Uh, but it'd just be

labor around here,

-whatever needs to be done.

-I'll take any work.

-When could you start?

-Uh, after school tomorrow?

That will work. Let's go.

[Lauren coughing

from other room]

[coughing]

What's going on? Whoa, Mom.

A little wake and bake, huh?

Since when do you smoke?

Let me see that.

Um, this is not good

at all, Mom.

I'm so sorry, but it's terrible.

Well, it's better than

that pharmaceutical stuff

that the FDA gets me.

Well, hey, I can grow you some

better sh*t in the backyard.

At least we'd know

-where it'd come from.

-I think it's time that I

showed you something.

Your dad spent a lot

of time in here.

-[Andrew] Whoa.

-[Lauren] I know.

How did I never find this place?

What is this stuff?

Well, all of this

was your dad's hobby.

[Andrew] Did you look

through this?

There might be clues

-of what happened to him.

-I did. And so did Brian.

Brian came over and we

looked through everything.

We couldn't find anything.

It was just gone.

Way before his time.

He actually grew

some really good stuff.

Yeah.

But don't tell

anybody about this.

-Just keep it on the down-low.

-Yeah, okay.

We don't want anybody

to know this is in our home.

Wow.

That's cool.

We should use this place.

[knocking on door]

You stay put.

Special Agent Swanson, FBI.

I'll be taking over

for the m*rder side

of this investigation.

So you got warrants

for Andrew and Jared?

Jared, yes. Andrew, we didn't

have his name until now.

Let me be clear.

I need you to write up

the high-speed chase

and the as*ault-on-

the-officer charges.

We'll handle the rest.

Now, can you have those charges

filed by morning?

-What's the rush?

-Andrew has court tomorrow

for as*ault on one

of your officers.

-One of my officers?

-Eleven months ago.

Look, if you don't know

what's happening in your own

department, then step aside.

We'll get it done.

Hold on, he just walked in.

Andrew, it's Tiffany.

-Tiff?

-Yo, what happened

to the debit card?

I know. The bank line was

out the door this morning.

What? You said

it would work for $30.

It's so embarrassing

to be declined.

Can you come by here

and get some money?

No. I have a job too, remember?

Listen, your mom has

a doctor's appointment at 5,

so I'm gonna be by at 4

to give you the car

and Jace, okay?

Okay. I'll see you tonight.

I'm sorry.

I love you.

-Did you find everything okay?

-[woman] Yeah.

-Do you guys price-match

from the Internet?

-[Brian] Well, as best we can.

Uh, Andrew, can you go back

and help Jordan unload

-that, uh, pallet in back?

-Yeah, sure thing.

-What's up, Jordan?

-Oh, nothing much.

Just ready to get

off work, dude.

-I don't wanna hear it

from you, part-timer.

-Hey, you know what?

Part-time and being single

is just another perk

of living at home with Mom.

I still live at my mom's house,

but I wouldn't know.

Don't be jealous, but I use

my whole paycheck to buy weed.

Oh, yeah? Don't be jealous,

but I use my whole paycheck

to pay for last month's bills.

You wanna sell me a J?

Sure. Why not?

And there, my friend,

is a beautiful, good joint.

[Andrew] Thanks, bro.

You're a lifesaver.

-No problem. See you tomorrow.

-See you.

-[Jace crying]

-You too.

Hey, I'm sorry about the check.

Hey, buddy. Hey.

Two auto-pay bills

bounced today.

-That alone is $50 in late fees.

-I should have missed the bus,

then, but sh*t,

if I was late to work again,

I might not have this job.

So I mean, really,

-what do you want me to do?

-Whatever. Just take me to work,

get your mom

to her doctor's appointment.

-We'll talk about it tonight.

-Okay.

[horn honks]

What did you do?

Did you hang out with Mom?

Did you guys go to the store?

-You're late.

-I know.

[siren wailing]

Oh, gosh, what--?

What's going on here?

[Andrew] Hey,

you got me boxed in.

I need to be going.

Can you please let me out?

-It'll be just a moment.

Wait in your car, sir.

-No big deal.

You know what? I'm gonna let you

off with a warning this time.

-What's up, man?

-Hey, what up?

-[officer] What's going on?

-[Andrew] What is this bullshit?

[Lauren groans]

[officers speaking indistinctly]

-Hey.

-Hey, bro.

Can you move that car now?

Seriously, I really gotta go.

Sir, I asked for your patience.

I'll move the car

as soon as I'm done.

So, dude, check this out.

I pulled over the senator

the other night coming

home from a party...

[officers speaking indistinctly]

[Andrew] No,

they're just bullshitting.

-Seriously.

-[Jace crying]

[Lauren] Oh, it's okay.

It's okay.

f*ck him!

Oh, my God, Andrew.

Where are you--?

Where are you going?

Saw you on the street

and just thought I'd drop by.

Yeah.

So, what time

are you off at, man?

Uh, just a little bit.

[engine starts]

[officer] Hey, yo, yo!

Stop, stop!

["Pure Evil"

by Atmosphere playing]

-Get out of the car. Get out.

-[Andrew] I'm just moving it.

-I was just moving the car.

-Put your hands

behind your head.

[Lauren] Oh, my God,

that's my son!

Just shut up

and get back in the car.

-[Lauren] No. That's my son!

-Get on the ground.

-f*ck.

-[Lauren] You're hurting him.

Well, what do we got here?

Little contraband, huh?

Let's get him in the car.

No, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no

This is pure evil

This is pure evil

When I woke up this morning

My only intention

Was to look at my reflection

With mutual respect, yeah

I know I'm more than just

A badge and a weapon, but...

[music fades]

sh*t, my boy Andrew.

Give me a second.

Keezie.

[Keezie] Who'd you piss off?

The cop said I stole his car,

but I was just moving it.

You stole a cop car,

and that's all you got?

What are your charges?

Well, I had some pot on me,

I got vehicle theft,

destruction of police property.

But what I don't get is

as*ault of a police officer.

Look at this. He beat my a*s.

My mom even seen it.

Oh, boy, you in trouble.

What you been up to

since you left Jared's?

[groans]

Kid, my mom

is real sick, work...

Mostly work.

So I've been dealing

with all that.

-Why are you here?

-Pfft.

Two hundred OxyContins.

And when they saw your boys

from the ministry,

they booked me

for distribution again.

Again? That sucks.

[Keezie] Right?

And 2500 bucks gone.

And now they got your boy

back "in the system."

[Andrew] The system?

Why don't you just

get your money back?

f*ck the cash.

It ain't even mine.

But you know the system.

Once you in, you in.

I guess I'll find out

what you mean.

Right, but I'll be out

in the world soon.

I got my lawyer coming.

He better be coming quick.

Good for you, man.

Hey, it's all part of the plan.

Jared takes care of me.

Jared? Make sure

you tell him I say what up.

-[Keezie] I got you.

-Thanks.

Hold up,

I'm gonna use the phone.

[Keezie] Sure.

All right, you guys

got 15 minutes left

of community time.

[cell phone buzzing]

Hello?

Yes, I'll take the call.

Andrew's on the phone.

Oh. Just tell him

I'm gonna k*ll him.

Andrew, how could you do this?

-Two felonies in a cop car?

-Just so...

Are you serious?

Here, you talk.

Andrew, what are you thinking?

I know, I screwed up royally.

I lost my temper. I'm sorry.

But I need you right now.

Did you make it

to your appointment?

Yeah, I got there.

But they won't know

any results for a few days.

It's gonna cost 1500 bucks

just to get you out of there.

And then there's lawyer costs,

and there's court fees, and--

What the hell were you thinking?

Okay, let me talk. Andrew.

Andrew, okay,

I'm really mad at you right now,

but we're gonna--

I'm gonna try and see if there's

any other option, okay?

Will you come visit me?

Of course I will.

And listen,

I was talking to Brian,

and he might go

out of business soon,

so I would start looking

for another job.

I'm sorry.

Here, talk to your son.

Here, do you wanna talk

to Daddy? Listen.

-Daddy's on the phone.

-Hey, buddy.

Hey, come get me out of here.

[coos]

[Lauren laughs]

I miss you.

I love you so much.

All right. I gotta go, Tiff.

I'm running out

of phone minutes.

I hope to call you soon,

though. Bye.

You know, I think I'd like

to know what else is going on

outside of this case.

This is a cartel phone

from Andrew's pocket.

The microphone and tracking

have been modified.

We also have him

here in Colorado.

Now, this will be all we need

to press charges against him.

I don't think this will stick.

It, uh, sounds like it was

a true emergency situation.

It won't matter.

All we need to do is

paint a picture for the judge.

Andrew is a bigger player

than what we thought.

Now, I'm gonna be creative

and connect him

to organized crime.

Lieutenant,

just let us do our job.

I wanna know why you were here.

Is this where I say

I need a lawyer?

You are about to be buried

in some real deep sh*t.

[detective sighs]

[Keezie] You sure?

I'll do that.

Yo, Andrew.

Jared could use your help.

Three weeks out of town,

a thousand a week.

Plus, he'll cover your lawyer

if he can get you out.

We leave tomorrow.

-If he can get you out,

are you down?

-I just lost my job.

-Three thousand dollars

is just what I need.

-I hope to hear from you, man.

-Be safe, man.

-You too.

[Jared] Yeah!

-Get in.

-What is going on, my man?

Dude, this is what's

going on, right here.

-Just like that, you're free.

-Yeah. Let's get out of here.

Dude.

Four a.m. tomorrow morning,

man, we're out.

Could you maybe

spot me anything?

Psh. Sure, man.

How much you need?

-Half?

-Yeah.

Right on, brother.

Count out 1500.

-Here, uh--

-[Andrew] Oh.

I'm actually here.

Thank you so much.

-Yeah, man.

-Ciao, dude.

I'll be here

to pick you up 4:00.

Cool.

-[Tiffany] Oh, my God!

-Hi.

What are you doing

back so soon?

-Andrew! Oh, my gosh.

-Oh...

-[Lauren] I'm so glad

you're here.

-Hey, buddy.

-[Tiffany] Hi. Daddy's home.

-[Andrew] I missed you. Hi.

So tell me, what was

the most awkward part of jail?

-Really? Come on.

-[laughs]

[Tiffany] Did you even

sleep in there?

No, I was too busy

becoming a thug.

-[Tiffany] Oh, okay. [laughs]

-Yeah, a thug is right.

-Gosh, do you realize

what you put us through?

-I know, Mom. I'm sorry.

So how'd you get out?

You know, we called,

and the bail was way pricey.

[Jace crying]

-Well, I have to earn it.

-[Tiffany] What?

I leave in the morning for work.

-What work?

-I'll tell you later.

I'm exhausted.

Oh. Well, I can take a hint.

-Come on, let's go nappies.

-[Tiffany] He needs a nap.

-[Lauren] Aw.

-[Tiffany] Thanks.

Bye, buddy.

Andrew, what work?

It's a work program.

Don't worry about it.

Andrew, you left me

here by myself

to take care of Jace,

the bills, and your mom.

I know. I'm sorry. Come here.

Listen, I know it looks bad,

but I know we can

get through this.

The bills are late already.

Well, good thing

I got this work program.

They said they could

pay 1500 up front.

-That's great pay. What are

you even gonna be doing?

-Tiffany,

don't worry about it.

It's just business.

For three weeks?

Okay, I'll just take care

of everything myself, right?

Well, it was this or jail.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Tiffany...

[Andrew] Bye, buddy.

What's going on?

[Jared] Hey, hop in back, man.

It's open.

[door opens]

[Andrew] All right, nice van.

Isn't she?

Not ours, though.

-Hey, man, let me

see your cell phone.

-I don't have one.

-You don't have a cell phone?

-No.

Okay, dude,

we're gonna hit the gas station.

We gotta go get him one.

[chuckles]

[Jared] I was gonna wash

the windows down,

but I think someone

stole the wipe,

so we probably can

just deal with this sh*t

the whole way there.

Dude, hand me that,

uh, drill press, brother.

-[Andrew] This thing?

-Yeah.

So, dude,

not many people know this,

but, uh, the NSA

can be listening to you

through your primary microphone

on your phone,

even when you're not even on it.

So we don't take any chances.

Is this a joke? Do I need to

wear a tinfoil hat or something?

[scoffs] So you can have

my old phone.

-[Andrew] What the hell?

-No more listening.

sh*t is business.

What are we getting into?

[Keezie] Cutting some crops.

-[laughs]

-[Andrew] All right.

Crop cutting, baby!

-Cutting some, rocking it down.

-Rocking it down.

a lot more sunlight.

The more lights, the more goods.

-Is that a zip tie?

-Yeah.

Oh, okay.

That's what they're for.

-Yeah, my dad used to grow pot.

-Millions of people do.

If you think about it,

it's just a plant.

All right,

so if you come down here,

I'm gonna show you

how to get some clippings.

So, what you wanna do

He trades his sh*t drugs

for our good pot.

can't get no better.

Yeah, man, that's the thing,

I only got 3 grand right now,

but, dude,

I got 80 pounds ready to go

and another 80 pounds next week,

dude, so it's all good.

Every time. Every f*cking time.

I won't keep doing this.

You know what?

-I should just take

all your f*cking...

-No. [chuckles]

Dude, after this,

we're square, dude,

plus I'm giving you

200 grand worth of weed, dude,

so f*cking chill out, dude.

-Everyone grows weed.

-Ah.

This is the last time.

You square up, and fast.

Yeah, man, no worries, dude.

No worries.

I won't be fronting you

after this f*cking shoddy

f*cking business

dealing of yours.

Then calm down, dude.

I'm not gonna give you another

250 grand of my good stuff.

Dude, you know I can't front

without you, man.

What are you f*cking

talking about? You can't

do that to me now.

Like that's my f*cking problem?

You think I give a sh*t, huh?

-Did I not tell you

to get my money?

-Come on, man.

Get my f*cking money, all right?

-Come on, man.

-You better.

Damn, f*ck. Dude, chill. Chill.

The last m*therf*cker that

owed me this kind of money,

all right,

isn't breathing anymore.

Get my f*cking money!

And sell this sh*t, all right?

All right. All right.

Now get me the weed. Let's go.

-All right, all right, right.

-Hurry the f*ck up.

All right, let's step it up

and get this sh*t done

and get back to town, man.

to get the tops and the bottoms

and the bottoms and sh*t.

Yeah, guys, don't forget

the tops and the bottoms

you know exactly what.

You're high as f*ck, and

you just stand there acting

like you're doing sh*t.

Dude, don't hate, dude.

What's your problem?

That. That sh*t is my problem.

Bro, we used to just come here

to disappear, have a good time,

and then leave

with a shitload of weed.

But now it's all numbers

and frustration

and sh*t with you.

Well, dude, some people

have bills and sh*t.

Well, f*ck your bills and sh*t.

What do you even do

that's so great?

Not just anybody

can move this sh*t.

[Seth] All right,

last chance on clippings.

It just starts over.

Can these grow indoors?

It's not ideal,

but yeah, you can.

Cool.

There's plenty more,

if you want some.

Thanks.

it's about 50 pounds.

-I can't believe this sh*t.

-It is what it is, bro.

God decides what you get.

"God decides what you get."

to drive in, man.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Look,

I'm cool with driving the pot,

but I'm not driving any

of your chemical sh*t.

Oh, come on.

Whatever. Let's go.

Ah, sh*t, look, bro,

it's a f*cking cop.

-[Seth] sh*t, not today.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Jared] Oh, no. f*ck. sh*t.

I only helped trim that pot

to get out of that mess

those traffic cops put me in.

Andrew, listen to me close.

Anything and everything

that you say

will be used against you

in a court of law.

I don't believe

I did anything wrong.

You just told me

that you trimmed pot.

That is so far different

than selling it.

Andrew, you are

on the DEA's list

for interrogation,

and you have a cartel's phone

in your pocket

with evidence of you

at a grow operation.

You-- You need to be honest

and tell me some of the names

of the people in this picture.

[sighs] Look, give me some

information that I don't know,

because I wanna believe

that you're a good kid,

but the DEA is building

a great case against you.

You're gonna get transferred

tomorrow to the courts

for as*ault on a police officer.

I'm telling you

everything I know.

[Tiffany] Detective?

Listen, Andrew didn't do

anything wrong, okay?

He has a family to take care of.

[sighs]

Andrew has court tomorrow,

and he's not gonna

be available for visitation

until after he's been

formally booked.

And to be honest,

he's facing more charges.

Andrew and Joseph left before

those guys got shot in our yard.

Go ask Joseph yourself.

Listen, ladies, Andrew will be

available tomorrow after court.

[Joseph grunts]

Can I talk to you for a minute?

[groans]

I'm in a rush here,

so make it quick.

Who shot you?

I don't know, man. I just--

I just opened the door and--

And-- And bang.

Did the DEA say that

they were going to, um,

press charges against you?

No, but I think he wants to.

Well, Andrew told me that, um,

he's just a small-time

weed dealer,

that he only sold

to smoke for free.

-Is that true?

-No, you're lying.

Okay? He never sold any pot.

He grew some,

but he never sold it.

[Andrew] Joseph,

wake your a*s up.

-[Joseph groaning]

-Hey, wake up, man.

-Wake up. Wake up.

-Whoa.

Dude, where have you

fricking been, man?

I was just in the hills

cutting down pot with Jared.

Really? Dude, what's up, man?

What's next? Seriously.

All right, listen to this.

We grow pot.

-Seriously?

-Yeah.

-Did you bring back any weed?

-Yeah, dude.

There's so much of it,

but the mule got pulled over

when we were driving

back into town.

The mule? Like in--?

Like in the movies?

Yeah. He was pretty cool too.

So, what do you say, man?

I need an investor.

Two thousand, at least.

Invest? Like--? Like--?

In, like--? Like a business?

-What do you mean?

-Growing pot.

Dude, seriously?

That's your idea?

Okay, that's so stupid.

You don't even know

how to do that.

Oh, yeah?

Well, I do now.

And I think I can do it

better than they did it.

Are you in?

I'm in.

While I do it again

Come on, Andrew.

I know what you're up to.

You've got a family

that depends on you.

[Andrew] That's why I gotta

do something just to get even.

That's exactly what's wrong

with this whole damn country.

It's your generation's

sense of entitlement.

Andrew, your dad

would want me to talk to you

about you growing pot.

So, what are you going to do?

What I'm going to do

is tell you to be damn careful.

And the cops see everything.

You can't be using

the grow industry

to pay your bills.

What I meant was,

when you close up this shop,

what are you going to do?

Don't worry about me.

I'll be sitting pretty good

when I sell those ten acres.

Was my dad a drug dealer?

I mean, I knew he grew, but...

Andrew, listen to me.

We both know that this industry

has consequences.

We've learned that lesson.

And it's not for a family man.

Hey, Brian?

Jordan needs you up front.

He wants to know

if he should match

an Internet price on something.

I'll be right down.

We're good?

Yeah.

I thought we were gonna

buy some stuff and drive.

We'll have to

make do without it.

He knows we're growing.

He just has no idea how much.

[Joseph chuckles]

-Oh, my.

-Dude.

[footsteps approaching]

Oh, wow.

-Hey.

-Hey there, Joseph.

This is a lot of pot.

What the hell are you doing?

You know, I thought

you were gonna do

a couple of plants, maybe.

I was thinking you'd grow

a couple of plants.

But this is just way too much.

Give some to Joseph

and get the rest out. Flush it.

-[Andrew] Flush it?

-Yeah.

-Can we talk about this first?

-No, we can't talk about this.

You got court in a few days.

We don't need any more trouble.

You know what I'm saying?

We don't need any more trouble.

All right?

Come here.

I love you.

Now, get rid of it.

-What? Oh, my God.

It's Andrew. Oh, jeez.

-[Andrew] What's up?

And Joseph.

Give me some sugar there.

-What's going on, guys?

-Nothing much.

Hey, you wanna come trim

a bunch of pot tonight?

Give you a piece

of what you cut.

Hell, yeah, dude.

You grew it? Like, the pot?

[Andrew] Don't worry about it.

That... is the freshest weed

I have ever seen.

[camera clicks]

Tiffany needs to talk to you,

so while you're doing that,

I'm going to... sample.

Yeah, no, there's no sampling.

You can touch it. It's fine.

Andrew, we cannot have

our kid in this house

with that much pot.

If we trim this, we could be

busy for a whole week.

Or you could end up

in prison for years.

But we have so much.

We could be rich.

Andrew, we don't need

drug money.

We don't need it.

-Really?

-Yes.

Okay.

[Andrew] Yeah, well,

I gotta get rid of it.

Got you, bro. No worries.

You really think we could trim

all that pot in a week?

-Oh, yeah, are you kidding me?

-There's more?

Way more.

-See, Andrew's got

a secret room right here.

-Hey, Joseph.

He was totally kidding.

You know, I think you know

that you're going to be facing

consequences for your actions.

Well, I have the right

to remain silent,

so I'll see you in court.

And maybe when you're in court,

you'll see your buddy

Andrew there.

I got two felonies

in hand for Andrew.

And that's not to mention

what the DA is gonna do.

He's getting charges

from you and them?

-They're federal. I'm state.

-Well, am I getting

charges from you?

No, I'm pinning it

all on Andrew.

And I'm gonna make a note

that he is part

of this drug supply line.

And he will be linked

to the cartel

through the phone

that you gave him.

But hey, it just means

that his kid will suffer,

that's all.

["Broken Arms"

by Markham Sound playing]

[sniffles]

Ooh

Ooh

Rolling down to Mexico

Big old fire burning up

It made me take it slow

Made my life a vacancy

[knocking on door]

[music fades]

[sighs]

Come on in, man. Come on.

-What's up, man?

-Come on. Come on.

-You good?

-Yeah, man. I'm fine.

-You look like sh*t, man.

-Thanks.

I need some cash, though.

-I was hoping you'd buy this.

-Oh, my God.

-Super wet.

-I just got done trimming it

with your boy Andrew.

Andrew?

Yeah, him and his boy

grew a bunch.

-What?

-He said he's just

gonna give it to me.

Just gonna give it to you, huh?

He's gonna give it to me, man.

That guy owes me money.

I can show you

where the spot is.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, and there's a bunch.

[Jared chuckling] Oh.

Phew.

Back in business.

-You best not be sh1tting me.

-Hey, I'm telling you, I'm not.

[car door closes]

-This is the last f*cking time.

-I know, man. I know, man.

I'm not playing any more

f*cking games with you.

-I told you.

-Don't make this f*cking

trigger finger itchy.

Then you'll know

I'm m*therf*cking serious.

If he owes you money,

he owes me money,

and we squaring up tonight.

[Jared] Dude,

you don't get it, do you?

I gave you a loan, dude.

I expect it back.

I'm giving you

everything I have.

[Manny] Who the f*ck is this?

[SUV door closes]

-You call the f*cking cops?

-No, I didn't.

Joseph!

Dude, what the f*ck

is wrong with you? Why

the hell would you do that?

-sh*t!

-[Andrew] Help me.

-[groaning]

-[Andrew] Joseph, you all right?

-Oh, my God. Let's go.

-What the f*ck?

-[Andrew] Get up.

-What--?

[groaning]

[Andrew] Let's go.

It's gonna be okay.

[Manny] Where the f*ck

do they think they're going?

[panting] f*ck.

[Joseph whimpering]

[Joseph] What--?

He just f*cking shot me, man.

What the f--?

[Joseph] Dude,

look at this sh*t!

Hey, hey, keep your hands on it.

You gotta put pressure on it.

Keep it on there.

[g*nsh*t]

[speaking indistinctly]

[footsteps echoing]

[knocking on door]

This is C-Spin. I'm...

[Holloway] You guys

sure look busy.

U.S. Department of the Interior

has confirmed that APHIS

is the leading agency behind

an international sting operation

targeting drug cartels'

production operations.

Internal sources suggest

that APHIS is not trying

to take down the cartels

but instead using leverage

to change marijuana and cocaine

to patented, genetically

modified versions of the drugs,

essentially cornering the market

on ill*gal drugs

before they become legal.

Did you get those charges filed

on Andrew that we talked about?

Well, you see,

after a full review of the case,

I've, um, requested the DA drop

the original charges of as*ault.

Why in the world

would you do that?

I took an oath to protect

citizens against injustice,

both foreign and domestic.

And you, you sure

seem to be jumping

to an awful lot of conclusions

with no evidence.

No evidence? Are you kidding me?

What's this?

Your Honor, why would you

dismiss Andrew Durfy's charges?

Like I've been trying to say,

all of Andrew's charges

have been dropped

by the state because of--

Because you don't even know

what you're dealing with.

This is bigger

than you can understand.

Last night,

Lieutenant Holloway found this

in his officer's records.

Like I was trying to say.

We don't want this in the news.

I'll do it all night long.

You know what I'm saying, man?

Yeah, the girl I just let go.

Don't tell me you

wouldn't do that, man.

-Come on.

-This isn't gonna matter.

Even the prosecuting attorney

agreed to let him go

if he signed a waiver.

Let me guess, you're not filing

the high-speed chase

-or the second as*ault.

-If you have any real evidence,

-you can file it

with your own federal court.

-And I will be.

In fact, I have three felony

charges that I'll be filing

and a search warrant

for Andrew's house.

So basically,

you just let my fugitive go.

[judge] What do you mean,

Swanson?

Well, first off,

his phone has been altered

like a cartel phone.

[Holloway] Just so you know,

that's Jared's old phone.

What about the evidence

of him at the grow operation?

-It's legal in his state.

-Swanson, unlike your agency,

this court respects

other state laws.

It's legal there.

So I will not be making

a decision on this matter.

[Swanson] I'm telling you,

this is bigger than

you can understand.

Look, we even have

his father in custody.

He's been working

for the cartel for years.

Andrew's father?

Fred Durfy? I remember his case.

He's been missing for ten years.

Yeah. His dad claims

that he was held hostage

and forced to grow marijuana

because he was good at it.

Right. Andrew's a member

of a supply chain.

This is a family operation.

Look, Swanson, it seems like

you're operating on a hunch.

And I know how

your bureaucracy works.

But in this court, we follow all

the rules of the Constitution.

So unless you have

valid legal evidence,

my decision stands.

-Swanson.

-What do you want, Holloway?

-Did you say Durfy's in custody?

-He arrived a few hours ago.

Well, did he say what

happened? I'd love to get

a statement for the press.

Not yet. We still have

to confirm his story.

You do understand

he's a known drug dealer.

Yeah, but, uh,

what has that got to do

with a ten-year-old

missing-persons report?

It's newsworthy.

Just-- Just stand aside

till we make our decision.

We'll keep you in the loop.

Agent Swanson.

You might wanna reconsider

pressing charges against Andrew.

See, we got Jared's testimony.

Andrew, he's got nothing

to do with it.

I'll keep that in mind.

[man] Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Let me know.

-What have you got?

-The cartel.

They admit it was a hostage.

And he was also talking

about a multinational laboratory

that was shut down last week.

And he's worried

about some scientists

that disappeared a few days

before the raid.

What else did he say?

[Swanson] Mr. Durfy.

[door closes]

Welcome back

to the United States.

How's my family?

-Do they know I'm alive?

-Have a seat, please.

Tell me what happened.

Basically, I was forced

to take care of 35 acres of pot.

Forced?

Forced.

Cartel told me

that if I tried to escape,

they would k*ll

my entire family.

Go on.

I was able to kick out about

a thousand pounds per season

for the first few years.

I was the only one

who spoke English.

I was also the only one

who knew how to do the job.

So, uh, it was pretty lonely

till we got some neighbors.

-Neighbors?

-Yeah.

Uh, some American scientists.

They set up

a high-tech lab next door.

They said that

their experiments were...

Were going to feed the world.

One day, there was a lot

of commotion next door.

Um...

They were all very upset.

Something about laws,

deregulation.

And then that night,

there was a fire.

The next day,

the Brazilian government

was rounding everybody up.

And who else knows?

Nobody.

[Swanson] We may

have another problem.

Detective Holloway has been

asking a lot of questions.

We're in the middle

of a major overhaul

in biotechnology regulation.

We can't have

that story getting out.

What do you suggest?

We have options.

Ship him back to Brazil. Adis.

Okay.

Yeah, what did you find?

[woman over phone] I've checked

with every department.

There is no Fred Durfy listed.

Uh, put me through to Swanson.

His line is busy, sir.

Look, let me ask you,

where would you hold someone

who is not an inmate?

Well, sir, all of the senators

and lobbyists hang out

in the second-floor

meeting area.

[Swanson] You need to understand

that you're involved

in a highly classified

national-security case.

Which means?

Mr. Durfy, I would really like

to get you back home

to see your family.

[sighs]

This is an SF-703

federal document.

Signing it legally binds you

from talking about

anything that's happened.

We will be watching you.

Forget to keep me in the loop?

You must be Fred.

Yeah. Who are you?

Detective Holloway.

I've been looking for you

for ten years.

Your family is

gonna be relieved.

Is this his statement?

Uh... no, this is, uh...

This is another thing.

I'll make a statement

in a few minutes.

Thank you. Detective Holloway.

Get him home to his family.

[poignant music playing]

[door closes]

-[Jace coos]

-[Tiffany] Oh, my God.

-Oh, my gosh.

-Wait. We were just headed

-to your court hearing.

What are you doing?

-Yeah, well,

-all charges are dropped.

-[Lauren squeals]

-Are you serious?

-Yeah.

-Yay! Oh, my gosh.

-Oh, my God. Oh, thank God.

Oh, I'm so happy!

-I'm so happy. That's great.

-What's up, bro?

-What's up?

-Hey, Brian.

Did you hear that?

Did you hear that?

Hey, you know, cops came in here

and they were asking questions

about...

[Andrew] Oh. Oh, yeah, don't

even worry about that, man.

Once you told Keezie

about my secret,

cleaned out the whole house.

Yeah, we're good.

Phew.

[Lauren] Thanks, Brian.

-That's wonderful.

-What now?

Well, I really need

to speak with Andrew

and Lauren privately.

Whatever you gotta say,

you can do it right here.

This is all family.

Okay.

Andrew, your dad...

-is alive.

-[Andrew] What?

[poignant music continues]

["Fortunate"

by Atmosphere playing]

I highly doubt

That y'all think about sex

Anywhere near as often

As I think about death

Go ahead and shout

At the top of your lungs

But don't wake the baby up

We got a lot to get done

That little light

Indicates a connection

And if it's all the same

I'd like to make a suggestion

See, if everybody

On this comet agreed

We could set the clock

To whenever we want it to be

I just might

Just modify the mileage

I don't know much

But I'm confident

The fight's fixed

So high that I feel

Like a pilot

Falling out a sky

Full of brilliant brightness

Hurry up

Stir me up

You gotta learn the words

Before the whole Earth burning

But we wouldn't even need

To recognize your birthday

If you were the center

Of the universe

In the first place

If I had feathers

I would fly away

If I felt fresher in fur

I would hibernate

If I ever figured out

How to communicate

Maybe then

We could accumulate

For now face the wall

I ain't the same as y'all

A real friend

Wouldn't make you

Take the fall

Sometimes life'll try

To break your ba*ls

With the long list

Of missed wake-up calls

You know

I wanna feel special

Walk around the festival

Carrying a big stuffed animal

I try not to make

A mess, though

Gotta stay sensible

Ain't nobody coming

With the antidote

I wanna watch you grow

And I wanna leave the planet

Better off than it was

Handed to me

And I don't know

That's a possibility

So I settle

For selling my soul

To the sl*ves

Of the land of the free

I don't wanna leave

My family tree behind

I don't no one to miss me

Like I miss you

But I don't wanna take up

Too much time

I'm not trying to run away

From the line we drew

The sunshine seems to

Feel so seamless

The soldier is a dreamer

And a realist

And history sealed this

Taught me that a hero

Ain't nothing but a field trip

Nah, I know you're down to do

Something profound

Put a stake in the ground

To prove that you was around

But no amount of time

Would ever be

Considered enough

I'm trying to tether it up

And live forever through love

We're not lucky

But we're fortunate

I'm pretty sure of it

And all the life we wasted

Trying to make some bread

Might have been better spent

Trying to raise the dead

[song ends]
