Get the fuck away from me.
- Get up. - Get the fuck away from me!
- Get the fuck up! - What's your problem?
Get the...
Okay, all right!
Get in the truck!
Get in the fucking truck. Get...
I'm not doing the swim team this year.
What? You love swim team.
Not here.
But you haven't even given it a try.
You haven't done it here.
- Mom! - Charlotte...
Mom! Isn't that Dad's bike up there?
Where is he?
Just stay in the car.
Stay in the car.
Marty?
Marty!
Welcome to our home, Martin Byrde.
In 1929...
power company stole our land, flooded us out.
Snells fled up the mountains, and started all over again.
Trouble is, ain't much grows up here.
Doesn't matter how much you turn the soil.
It's the water.
So the crop had to change.
Do you know what'll grow almost anywhere the sun shine, Martin?
Let me tell you.
Poppies.
Sandy soil and drought, they don't care.
But then, you came along...
- I think, um... I... - You think?
- Yeah... - You think?
You know, the problem we have here is one of power.
And you seem to think you've got more of it than you do.
Now, in these parts, power comes from time.
And our family, we got a history older than anything.
So if you think...
that you can talk us out of getting what we want
with your pretty little words...
then you have not yet understood the purpose of this tour.
You are a threat to my colony, Martin Byrde.
You have disturbed the ecology of our delicate little system,
interrupted the back end of our operation when you took over the club,
and now you have destroyed our very means of distribution.
- I don't see how I could've possibly... - The church, Martin.
The preacher.
We need the preacher on the water.
Certain members in his congregation are in our employ.
The lake is under patrol, his service less so.
Now, you pull that pigeon out of the water...
and suddenly our resellers are on land...
and much more likely to be pulled over.
And that will not do.
Cease all construction on the church.
I can do that next month.
Uh...
...but right now...
my employer would be very upset...
There's a photo on a table in your living room,
your family on a cable car in San Francisco.
Another one at Myrtle Beach.
Across from the couch, there's a window you keep open mostly at night,
not 15 feet from your boy's bedroom, up the hall on the right.
And your girl's just after that.
And yours, Byrde, is at the very end.
Your toothbrush is blue.
We know all about you, Martin.
We know you work for someone dangerous...
and perhaps we can't touch you...
or else we risk retaliation.
We also know...
that you left Chicago quicker than a heartbeat.
So, personally, I'm inclined to believe
that you're on the outs with your employer...
and us taking care of you might be doing him a favor.
So if this little tour hasn't done the trick,
then we will enforce our demands in a more roundabout way,
by our backup plan.
Pastor Mason Young...
and his lovely, pregnant wife...
Gracie June.
Okay.
The construction will never finish.
That's the game.
Okay? And your pastor can stay on the water indefinitely.
Does that work?
We don't want another nail.
We don't want another screw in those two acres.
We see so much as a cross goin' up...
and we will cut that baby out with a paring knife.
- Marty! - Dad?
Marty?
Call the Blue Cat, see if he's there.
Rachel hasn't seen Dad all day.
Okay, kids, I need you to go to your room right now!
- I'm calling 911. - No, no. Charlotte?
Charlotte, please, honey, just go to your room, all right?
Dad. He's here. He's here, Mom.
I don't know what kind of shape the bike's in.
He just came out of nowhere and he just kept going.
He might not have realized he hit me.
Hey, honey. I'm okay.
I'm here now. I'm okay.
Oh, my God, your leg.
Yeah, it's gross, but, uh,
you know, fortunately, Sue Ellen, uh, Todd's wife, was passing by...
- Yeah? - ...and she gave me a ride home.
- Oh, good. - Which was really nice of her.
But we beat you.
What's that?
But we beat you here.
You weren't there when we passed,
so you must have already been with Mrs. Becker.
But we beat you here.
- Um... Thanks. - Mm-hmm.
Uh, right. Yeah, no, she got lost on the way here,
and I wasn't paying attention.
- We're just glad you're all right. - Yeah.
Lord help you...
if you eat all my Pringles.
What do you got, like, a date?
Shut it, Wy.
Hey.
You look nice.
Thanks.
Hi, Daddy.
I mean, what the fuck kind of place is this?
You know? Those people? They're gonna cut a human out of another human?
Not if we do what they want.
You know, they've been in this house.
- They know which windows we keep open. - What?
They know the photos that we have, the color of my toothbrush.
What the fuck are they doing inside our house?
Casing us. What do you think?
The good news is that we're safe because they're hedging that I'm untouchable,
but bad news is I'm not.
But they think you are?
- Yeah. For now. - Okay.
I mean, Wendy, they... they had a gun at my back.
Another one on my head.
Seen too many fucking guns the last three months.
- Seen too much blood... - The kids are safe.
You and I are safe.
- But we have to fix this. - I know.
Every time I check the money, there's less of it.
The stacks are half of what they were a month ago.
So move on 'em.
That cash isn't worth the paper it's printed on
if I don't know how to clean it.
You're the smartest person this side of the Mississippi.
Anything you don't know yet, you'll figure.
- It's just, I don't... I... - It's just what?
Just you never done it before?
Huh. First times can be fun, you know.
There's a... tingle that happens right before you do it.
Do you ever watch those nature shows? The cheetahs and the gazelles and...
It's natural selection, Ruth.
A moron's a different species than you and me.
We got a right to take 'em out.
This guy...
he's a downright numbskull
for leaving that shit under his bed to begin with.
You agree?
- You agree? - Yeah, I agree. I think you're right.
A lot of accidents happen on the lake.
Look for opportunity.
Find the scenario you can control...
and you do what nature intended.
Hey. You'll be fine, Ruthie.
You got me inside you.
Check this.
Holy shit.
Good?
You could sell this.
- Serious? - Mm-hmm!
I mean, you got the eyes in the exact right spot.
You tapered the edges.
Guys would spend five or six bucks for that.
Some suckers, a lot more.
Well, they... they could buy a factory fly for 30 cents,
do the job just fine.
Why they buy that?
Because rich people are always looking for new ways to spend their money.
- Okay. - Hey.
Listen...
I've been thinking about opening a shop down here for a while now.
Bait and tackle. Sell two-handed rods, waders...
...all kinds of gear.
Hand-tied flies like this.
What would you say about coming in with me on this?
You and me in business?
Why not?
We'd be stuck.
So?
No, man. I mean, we'd need... we'd need capital.
It'd cost a lot up front.
No. It doesn't have to be a big place.
We could operate in cash, so we don't have to pay credit card fees.
Still, all that inventory, the rent...
What about that guy your niece works with? Byrde?
- Yeah, get him to invest. - Not him.
Why not? He seems to be throwing down on a lot of places.
No. I mean, he just...
Actually, you know... you know what?
Hmm?
Real soon I might, uh,
have some of my own money to put into this thing.
God, never use your own money on a venture.
Business manager, he told me that, once, in a Starbucks.
Byrde, he's better.
We could make a business plan...
get Ruth to make an introduction.
Hmm? Come on. Come on with me.
- Hmm? - Get back. Stop it.
Oh, no, no, no. Okay. Okay.
All right.
All right?
I mean, we can... we can go to Splitz tomorrow.
Talk to my niece.
It turns out that the lot isn't zoned for a religious establishment.
- Mason? - Yeah?
You're gonna get your church. I promise. We're gonna sort this out.
But... until then, there just can't be any more construction, okay?
Not by you, or me, or the crew. No one.
Good news is that you can get right back out on the water...
preaching the good word.
"Everything is difficult before it is easy."
I finished it this morning.
Oh, Right.
Figured you'd want it back in your private library.
Wouldn't believe the late fees they charge.
I haven't seen you around.
Yeah. You know, uh... work.
- Hey, Wyatt. - Yeah?
Got some fiberglass work on the Lucas boat.
Oh, hey.
- Hi. - Yeah. Dad, just give me a second.
All right.
Hey, well, it was, uh... it was really good to see you.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, Charlotte.
FT party is this weekend.
- What's that? - Fuck the Tourists.
It's a big locals' thing. Celebrates the end of summer.
Oh. Uh...
Sounds cool, I guess. You know, I...
Not your scene.
Sorry. Just...
Sorry.
All right, hand me that patch kit.
It's not you, you know.
- What? - That girl...
She just doesn't know who she is yet.
I mean, without the church,
we're back to the Blue Cat and the club, and I just...
I don't know if those two can handle the rest of it, you know?
You'll make it work.
Yeah, what if I can't? What then?
We run.
We put the kids in the car, and we run.
You know, we do need money. We do.
We need money. We need clean money in our name.
All of our personal assets are wrapped up in that goddamn bulldozed house
and the church lot.
- We're fucked. - Okay.
- Look, you just focus on Del's money... - Yeah.
- ...and I'll worry about ours. Okay? - Yeah.
Good luck.
This has been the best quarter you've had in seven years, Sam.
- Yeah. - Your sales,
they're up 43% from last August.
I mean, while the regional comps, they're down 6%.
I mean, and the only real difference you've made in your...
in your business model, over the last year, is me.
Well, my mom puts in the extra time, too, though.
Sam, I have to redo everything she does.
I know, but she still puts in the time.
I deserve a bonus.
These cookies are awful. Did you bake these?
Eugenia, would you mind terribly if... if we just finished up here?
Yes, I would. We're about to open.
Okay. Wendy, go ahead. What were you gonna say?
Since I've been working with you,
you've been able to increase your commission from 5 to 7%.
Now, I did some math.
And you've been able to have an additional earnings of $192,000.
I think it's only fair
that I should request a bonus beyond my hourly,
that will align my total compensation with my value.
Okay.
What are we talking?
Half your increase in income.
Half?
Oh.
And, you know, if you don't agree,
I thank you for everything, and you know, I'll just go...
I'll go right on over to, uh, to Lakeview Realty.
- I'll see what they can offer me. - No.
Mom, just...
Okay. Okay. I'll give you 10,000.
Forty.
That coupled with my salary will be a little less than a third
of your additional profits, give or take.
- Take. With you. - Okay. Mom.
This hussy comes in here, bats her eyes
and gets your money gone faster than a toupee in a hurricane.
You know, I think I'll just go on and do it, finally.
Change my will. Give my money to the ASPCA.
Save a stray cat, since that's what you're doing.
Mom...
Goddamn it.
25,000. And you take care of the open house today.
Mom...?
Yeah, listen, Ruth,
I'm gonna be coming by tomorrow afternoon with my contractor.
We're gonna reroof the club
and we're gonna do a little work in the employees' lounge.
No. We just redid the employee lounge.
I'm gonna need a ride afterwards. They need...
They need another van to help expedite the work,
so I'm just gonna leave them mine.
A ride?
Yeah. Sometime in the afternoon. I'm not sure when.
Uh, yeah, I... I can give you a ride.
Okay. Thank you.
- Hey. - Hey.
How you doing?
There are, like, a dozen staff members outside,
all dying to buy you a beer, and you're stuck in your cave
- with your worried face. - Yeah.
Goodness. You are the worst at celebrating.
Uh, well, listen, we gotta recarpet the rooms,
and I've already placed the order,
so I'm just waiting to hear if we can, uh, take delivery next week.
We're fully booked next week.
We've got three open suites,
so I was just gonna rotate guests as they come,
and we'll do the regular rooms first, then we'll do the cabins afterwards.
Why don't we just wait till the off-season?
Better to do it now. 'Cause they upcharge in the off-season.
Everybody does their renovations then. Sound good?
You know I like this place again?
Good.
And I mean for, like... the first time since my grandma died.
You know how I... I told you not to get my hopes up?
Well, they're up.
- Yeah? - They're up.
Good.
Okay, well...
there's a drink with your name on it.
- Thank you. I'll be up there in a bit. - Okay.
Byrde swooping in.
Your kids are in there killing towel heads to heavy metal.
I couldn't hear myself fart.
Okay. You know what, Buddy? If it isn't too inconvenient...
would you shut up?
So I can drown my stress in quiet.
- What's itching your crotch? - Shh, shh, shh.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Why'd you move here?
I dealt with unions back in Detroit.
And politicians.
There was a bit of trouble.
Came here.
For the Magic Dragon.
What kind of trouble?
I killed Jimmy Hoffa.
Ah, fuck!
Oh, fuckin' thing...
Gonna tell me why you came here?
Nope.
I was in politics once.
In Chicago.
Obama's second state legislature campaign.
I was good at it.
Goddamn it. I was really... I was really good at it.
I just loved everything he stood for.
What we were all trying to do together.
I quit after Charlotte was born.
Childcare was more than my paycheck, so...
And now, here I am.
In Nowhere, Missouri.
And Obama's...
Obama.
Well, he seems like a smart enough guy.
Not that I'd ever vote for a Muslim.
Jesus Christ.
Hey, how's that heart?
Oh, it's fucking great.
There's a package for you.
Left it on the counter. It came this afternoon.
Thanks.
Hi.
What are you doing sitting alone in the dark?
Wendy?
Del sent us something.
We got a business plan and everything.
We got other shit in motion, moron.
Or did your thick head just forget?
I ain't the one who forgot!
Way you been sitting on shit,
looks like you're the one who lost sight of the goal.
Can you give us just one sec?
- No problem. - Thank you.
It's about opportunity.
And without opportunity, you get caught.
And guess what?
I got my hands on some good goddamn opportunity this afternoon.
So fuck off.
Bullshit, you do. What?
No way.
'Cause you don't got a plan!
His dock. Okay?
I'm rigging it to light him up.
I'm gonna give him a ride home, and watch him burn.
Perfect accident.
And if you wanna take that chunk for your payday,
and open a bait shop...
- And tackle. - ...then you go right on.
In the meantime,
shut your fucknugget mouth and get the hell out.
Hey. What the hell was that about?
Fucking bitch, that's what.
Come on. Hey.
She's an entitled piece of shit is all.
Fuck!
Russ, what was she talking about in there?
What is in motion?
Let's just say Marty Byrde isn't gonna be investing in much anymore.
And what does that mean?
If you and Ruth are planning on doing something,
I wanna know about it.
Especially if it has to do with... Hey, would you look at me? Hey!
Don't go doing something that's gonna get your ass thrown in jail.
I just fucking found you.
Hey, Anna.
Uh, have you had the chance to look over the handbook?
You have any questions?
Uh, you know, no, I haven't opened it yet.
Wow. Busy few days, huh?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Well, listen, my friends and I are getting some fries on the deck
if you want to join us later, maybe.
Oh. Um...
Naperthrill!
Um, I have a thing to do tonight, so I can't.
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, next time.
Yeah. Definitely.
Bye.
So, Zach...
that invite to Party Cove still good?
We're going now.

Meet me at the strip dock.

Just on the top of the, um... wheel well.
That'd be great.
So, that... that works, right? Ruth?
- Hello? - Hmm?
Can you drop off the van tomorrow?
Yeah. Yeah.
Thank you. Thanks for the ride.
Oh, and, you know, you've been great at the club.
Really. Thank you.
- Thanks. - G'night.
Hello.
Yeah, the files are all delivered. Uh...
You should be ready to start tomorrow...
Hey.
You on a rabbit hunt?
Whoa, whoa.
Didn't mean to bother.
No, I understand. I get it.
Yeah, it's, uh...
I really, really, really appreciate it.
Okay?
Uh, let's... I guess we'll talk in a day or two?
Okay. Thank you so much.
We're getting the carpet by Tuesday.
So... Where does that leave us?
Close. Very, very close.
That's 16,000 square feet at 69 cents a foot,
billed as 32,000 square feet at $8.75 a foot.
That's $270,000 clean.
The employee locker rooms and the office renovation,
that's another $150,000.
And the cabin kitchenettes is at least another $75,000, maybe 80.
All of that is...
Yeah, it's more than close.
That's... We're gonna make it. We're making it.
We're gonna make it.
We're okay.
All right? We're gonna make it.
What the fuck?
- Whoa. Incoming. - Did you fuck with my shit?
- The hell you talking about? - The dock.
What dock?
I rigged it this afternoon.
Thirty fucking minutes later, unrigged.
Marty Byrde steps out safe, sound, not at all electrocuted!
You wanna tell me what the fuck happened?
Oh, shit, you were gonna do it today?
Shut up, Boyd.
Russ, you're the only other person on this fucking planet
who knew what I intended.
The fuck are you accusing me of?
Hey, maybe you just didn't rig it right, Ruth.
Yeah? Why don't I rig our dock right now and throw you in?
Hmm? Then you can tell me if I rigged it right, fuck!
Cunt!
- Stand back, little girl. - Fuck off!
You unrigged that dock, Russ, huh?
Huh? You do it?
'Cause someone fucking fixed that thing.
And I'm sure as shit it wasn't a chipmunk!
Why don't you take your tampon outta your ear
and listen to Boyd when he says you must have fucked it up?
- Russ... - Huh? No.
You pussed out, latchkey! You pussed out!
The fact is,
you ain't nothing but a Jheri-curled Nancy
just using mind games to fucking buy more time.
Fact is...
we should have never let a little bitch do a man's job.
Ruth's gonna return the van this afternoon,
so I'm gonna take Buddy's car to work.
Okay.
Last night, um...
Yeah?
When you...
You've never done that before.
I thought you'd like it.
What's that supposed to mean?
- What does it mean? - Why would you think I would like that?
After all these years, you...
Uh... I thought you did.
Charlie, cop a squat. Fries?
No, thanks. Have you seen Zach?
He's pulling his boat out today.
- Pulling it out? - Yep. Done for the season.
He has, like, some work thing over Labor Day, so...
Pulled her out before he left for Chicago this morning.
He didn't tell you?
Heard you two were at Party Cove the other night.
You know, they always leave, Charlotte.
That's the difference between us and them.
And you...
guess you're one of us now.
Oh. Hey. Thank you for returning her.
- No problem. - Oh, Jesus Christ, Ruth.
No, I'm fine.
- Come in here. - I gotta get back to the club.
It'll... just take a minute. Come on.
Yeah, just... just wait right here. I'll be right back.
Sit.
Is this a boy?
Is it someone at home?
It's gonna sting.
Okay.
Ah.
- One more. - Ow, ow.
I tripped.
Hmm.
I tripped once.
Very long time ago.
And then I tripped again.
And then, the third time...
I told myself I would never go down that trail again.
Too many obstacles.
Charlotte? I thought you were going to brunch.
- Canceled. - I gotta get.
Okay. Just wait. Wait, one second.
Okay, now...
call me if you need anything.
Anything.
- Thanks. - Mm-hmm.
Uh... Okay, bye.
Whatever happened to my toy chest?
- They lost it. - How?
Sometimes, things just... get lost.
I hate it here.
I know.
Hi. What's going on?
Oh, well, I was worried about you.
You know, you were so stressed. Wanted to know what was going on.
- Rachel... - What did you know that I didn't?
And I, uh... And I open up the books here...
And, um, well, they are pristine.
I mean, really, they're beautiful.
- Rachel... - They're also bullshit.
I mean, there is a charge here for June 12th.
June 12th, where you ordered 25 air conditioners.
Now, the thing is, we only installed four, Marty.
And I thought, "Well, that must be a mistake."
Right? That's gotta be a mistake."
Which is strange for Pleats, but fine. Okay. That happens.
And then I saw the burger patty order,
and the snack bar invoice.
I mean, there's an estimate here for the swim dock
that is ten times higher than any sane human would pay
unless sane human was... was making the swim dock
- out of Carrara fucking marble. - Rachel...
There is enough carpeting here for the...
for the goddamn Mall of America.
I mean, the wiring...
- There's wiring we've never done. - I know what's on the papers.
- The liquor invoice. I... - I know what's there.
I don't know what the fuck it is that you are doing here,
but it sure as hell ain't legal.
Let me explain it. It's very simple.
You lied to me.
I know I did. For a good reason.
This whole summer, it's all been camera angles
like the photo with the fucking fish.
- Look... Rachel. - None of this is real.
Everything is working just fine.
- This can all be explained. - I need you to leave my property.
I can't leave. I'm not leaving.
I have a target I need to hit.
I need you to go now. Please.
Listen. I have a target I need to hit.
I need some more time. I need until the fall.
Hey. Listen. Hey. Rachel. Listen to me.
I work for somebody... Stop fucking around with the paper.
- Marty, I need you to go now. - I know. I heard you.
I work for somebody, and if I don't hit my target,
there's gonna be men that are gonna come here,
that are gonna kill me.
They're gonna kill my wife and kill my kids.
Well, I can't help you with that.
- You better help me with that. - No, I cannot.
I'm talking about my life, my family's life.
- I need you to go now! - Listen to me.
Let me explain to you the situation.
- I'll tell you everything. - I'm gonna call the police.
Trust me, you're not gonna call shit.
You're not gonna tell...
- Marty, go, now! - Put the fucking phone down!
Put the phone down,
and let me finish telling you what all of this is about.
I'm talk... Put the fucking phone down!
Boss, there's something you gotta see.
Call Wendy.
I'm sorry, Martin, I do not understand.
- Fucking piece of shit. - Call... Wendy.
Calling Wendy Byrde.
Hi, this is Wendy. Leave me a message.
They put up a cross.
Jesus fuck! They put up a cross.
