Previously on One Dollar...
Here. Give me your four.
I start at a new place next week.
Real big house, five bedrooms.
Some real estate guy.
Pete. Come on in.
I’m sorry, Bud. But the police chief
came by Judge Richardson’s chambers.
Why don’t we get you in out of the heat, okay?
You know that shipment to Vancouver we talked about?
There’s something I’m fixing to put in it.
Let me take you out on a real date before you break my heart.
Are you sure you want to, like, pass up a date?
I’m sure he'll understand.
I need you to-to bank your furnace.
Wait, what is she doing with my bandana?
Just routine. She found a little blood on it.
They’ll run a DNA test.
You were moving rare bourbon whiskey
across the border.
I’m not gonna tell the feds about this.
I won’t forget this.
Anybody find out what happened that night...
The man confessed to me his dumbass
plan to try and save his mill.
Oh, what, and you believed him?
...there’ll be a lot of people out of work.
I didn’t really know about Carrie
until she was, like, one.
I need you to operate a forklift tonight,
put some rolls on a boxcar, 11:00.
I followed it.
It goes through a train depot,
then straight on to Canada.
Oh, you finally got some sleep.
Wait, no...
Stop.
Are you gonna talk?
We know who you are.
So you need to stop,
or you’re gonna get yourself killed.
And you’re gonna get a lot of people that you care about
killed, too.
Do you understand?
Whatever you do, we’ll know about it.
Okay.
All right, okay.
Okay.
Come on, man.
Help!
Look, you know, I-I’m good for it.
No, it’s all good, Jerry.
Okay... thanks.
Okay, I’m-I'm headed to the office.
I don’t know if I'll be
back in time...
Oh. Uh, sorr... I thought you were my wife. What...
Who are you?
I’m new.
Ah. Well, nice to meet you, New.
Uh, have a great day.
Like I said, stick with me.
It’ll be Christmas every day.
Already?
They got confirmation it’s en route.
Hard part’s over. Contract’s yours.
You didn’t think I’d come through...
Just shut the fuck up and let me have this moment.
Need you to get this shit out of here.
How? Where do you expect me to put it?
Not my problem.
What if they want more? I mean...
you can’t just leave me hanging like that.
You think we’re done? We can’t be done, man.
We are not business partners.
I said I’d do this once, and I did it.
I am done.
Ungrateful shit.
Hey.
That’s a boy.
Hey. Hey, buddy.
That’s right.
Hey, buddy.
Bring the phone. Hey.
Bring the phone. Okay, good boy. Bring it here.
Bring the wallet. Okay, bring the wallet.
Or the phone. Bring...
Hey. That’s it, that's it.
Now get the phone.
Hey, boy.
Boy! Hey.
Hey, boy. Bring it...
Hey! Hey.
That’s my wallet! Hey!
Goddamn it!
- Hey, Pop. - Hey.
Dante, John, guys, look.
Listen up, um,
I’m sorry about what happened yesterday.
I-I let you down.
But all I got to say is this:
get ready to take all the hours you can handle,
because we just won a contract with PennDOT
for the Monongahila infrastructure project.
Roads, bridges, whole deal!
Oh, damn!
H-How’d you get that, Pop?
Ah, ah...
I know yinz been, you know, real patient with me lately,
and oh-mi laundry, I appreciate it.
But this is the start of something big, boys.
- That’s right. - I mean,
I’m gonna need yinz to spread the word:
I’m reaching out to rehire a bunch of guys
we lost over the last couple years.
I mean, we’re looking at full capacity real soon.
Go home, kiss your kids,
fuck your wives, ’cause it’s gonna be a long time
before you get to do that again.
I can’t believe that.
He’s cute, but I go away in, like, a few weeks.
- How’d you meet him? - He’s in this band with me.
Since when are you in a band?
Uh, like a week ago. But anyway, this guy’s, like, really cute.
And he’s, like, putting out all these signals.
And I’m like...
What do you play?
I sing.
I’ve never heard you sing.
Jesus, Dannie.
Hi, I’m Julie. We've been best friends since sixth grade.
- It’s a pleasure to meet you. - That’s exactly my point.
Now all of a sudden, you’re in a band.
What I’m asking is, like, do I like this guy
because I like him,
or is it just romantic because we know it’s doomed?
Could I come see you play?
To meet him?
No, Julie. To hear you sing.
Oh.
Sure.
How much farther?
Like, 60 miles, I think.
Hey, Tyler.
Hey.
It’s pretty good, right?
We got two in two weeks?
No, that’s a great start, Tyler,
but you still got a... a unit left.
Yeah, we have the one.
My goodness.
Hey, ma’am.
I’ll grab those for you.
Well, look at God.
No problem.
- You are so helpful. - You got it?
Yes, I do.
Oh, hello, Mr. Furlbee.
Ah, Reverend, this is my new associate, Tyler Bennett.
Tyler, this is Reverend Eda Whitney.
It’s good to meet you.
Good to meet you, too, young man.
Have a nice day, and good-bye, Mr. Furlbee.
Nice to see you, Reverend.
That’s a nice lady.
Oh, no, she’s-she's great.
Don’t get too cozy with her.
Problem is, we still have to move her out of this church.
Hear anything about how many people
- Bud Carl’s gonna hire? - No, he just said "full capacity."
Well, good, man. My brother sure could use a job.
E-Excuse me. Excuse me.
You guys talking about the mill?
Is the mill hiring?
Yeah. Bud Carl got a big contract.
- Why, you need a job, too? - No, no. I’m-I'm good.
Good. No, no.
That’s good for the town.
Fuck.
Jesus Christ.
Uh, watch... hey.
Hey, Jenny, it’s Jake.
Yeah, I’m-I'm on 148.
Uh, eight miles out of Braden.
It’s a long story. Can you pick me up?
I don’t know if I'm making a huge mistake by doing this.
Are you serious? You drag me into this car
and we’ve been on the road for, like, an hour now.
I just don’t know if this is crossing a line.
Oh, the line was back around Mount Pleasant, like...
Look, you know this guy lied to you.
He said he didn’t know he had a baby all that time,
but you saw the picture of him with the baby.
So... Okay, you’re right.
I think this is a horrible idea. I think you should turn
the car toward Michigan and never look back
and never talk to him again.
But you’re completely justified to snoop on a guy
who you think had something to do with a mass murder,
that you’re now in love with.
It’s mine. Okay, say that again? Uh...
The spot of blood that we found on your bandana
is a 50% match to one of the Seven Bloods.
Okay, 50%. What does that mean?
Who else lives here, ma’am? Husband? Kids?
No, I’m divorced. Uh, it’s just me and my son.
He’s got a friend over. That’s why it's a...
Hit him back, Cooper. If little Ricky hit you, hit him back.
It’s the only way he’s gonna stop.
Yeah, uh, sorry, sorry.
The blood. So, uh, so what happens now?
Well, we need to test your DNA and your son’s
to see if the blood on the bandanna
belongs to either of you.
If so, we’ll know that
one of the Seven is a close relative.
Jesus.
Like, close, like...?
Does your ex-husband still live in Braden?
Not for a few years.
- I don’t think I want to. - Don’t want to what?
I don’t want to give you my DNA or Ricky’s.
I mean, he’s just a little kid.
You know, you said it was voluntary.
That was before we found something
in your possession that matches one of the Seven Bloods.
Okay.
I mean, but... when you...
when you get Ricky’s, like,
you won’t say anything about why you need it?
We can use his toothbrush
or a comb, ma’am. He won’t even have to know.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
No one’s here right now, so leave a message.
Leland, it’s Bud Carl.
Uh, I promised I’d call and I’m calling.
I got some good news.
Donny.
Bud Carl.
Gonna let you go. I promised I’d call you back
if there was something for you.
There’s something for you, so, uh,
give me a call, come by, all right?
What did the guys look like?
They didn’t.
They had something over their faces.
They just tied you up and left you?
You could’ve died.
Yeah, I thought about that.
Here we go.
Doing good? Is she doing good?
You want to go play with your friends?
Go ahead. Go play with the other girls. Go on.
You girls okay?
Yeah. Uh...
I don’t really know who to talk to. Um...
We’re worried about someone who was here once, a baby.
- A baby? - Can you show her the picture?
- Oh, my gosh. - That’s Carrie.
Uh, who are you to her?
I, uh, I babysit for her.
She’s with her dad now, right outside of Pittsburgh.
She’s back with her dad?
You’re right.
You’re right to be worried.
So you haven’t even talked to him since all that?
Tried a couple times, but he never called me back.
I mean, not that he ever did before, you know.
He never even set up his voice mail, the jagoff, so...
But you don’t think he could've had something to do with it?
Nobody’s ever borrowed that bandanna, so that blood
is either mine or it’s Rickys.
And if it’s mine, then we’re probably talking about
that fuckup of a brother of mine.
But if it’s Rickys, then, I mean, I don’t even...
I don’t even know what what we’re talking about.
Mom, we’re starving.
- Can we have a snack? - No, we got snacks at home.
Come on. Thanks for letting me park him here.
No, why don’t you leave him here for a while?
Go be alone. It’ll be better for the both of you.
How about ants on a log?
- Yeah. - Yay!
Well, look at this.
Worked with what you had, but managed Miss Etta’s delight.
Well, she never made it.
I was the one who always made it for you.
Oh, I know.
Look, I’m still having a tough time with this.
Tell me again what Bud said.
He just said that if anybody finds out what really happened,
a lot of people lose their jobs.
Why did he just offer this up to you?
I mean, how well do you know this guy?
I clean his house, you know?
But he’s good to me. He trusts me.
I don’t think he’s a bad guy.
I-I don’t think he had anything to do with what happened.
I just think he may know more about it than what he’s saying.
So maybe you could just talk to him about it.
I’m not a cop anymore.
So? You can still talk to him, right?
Look, I don’t know.
Maybe I just let this one die.
Really?
I don’t have any idea who those people were
or why they did that to me.
They could be listening to us right now.
Knowing what they know,
they could probably kill me whenever they want.
I never seen you like this.
Like what?
Scared.
Very abusive.
When Mia first came here, she was in...
- She was in terrible shape. - Yeah.
Lot of bruises.
- Broken jaw.. - Oh, yeah.
She ran away from him, came here for help getting back on track.
Where is she now?
She died.
He hasn’t told you any of this?
She was here for three months.
Then he came and convinced her to leave with him again.
They took Carrie with them and we never saw them again.
Two weeks later, Mia overdosed.
At least that’s what he told us.
Just... It-it...
This doesn’t sound anything like him.
You don’t know him, Dannie.
You don’t.
Hey.
Thought you’d left.
Yeah, I’m on my way.
Are you all right, Mr. Furlbee?
Yeah. No, I’m good. I'm good.
I mean...
I see it.
Do you see it?
Do I see it?
Yeah, the way it all
used to be.
Sounds quaint. Sounds nice.
I grew up in it. Couldn’t fucking breathe.
You’d put a white shirt on and by lunchtime it’d be gray.
Um...
not sure I follow.
Do you know...
...that I am hated in this town?
No, I-I...
God, you are a shitty liar, Tyler.
I mean, you know, I’ve heard some criticisms, but...
About what? What? Uh...
gentrification?
Yeah, but I-I think it’s more about the displacement.
Okay, first, do-do you know what happens
when high-income people
move into low-income areas?
Incomes go up.
Crime goes down.
Schools get better.
And the number of people who are displaced
is a lot less than is commonly thought.
A lot less.
And look, you see anybody out there getting displaced?
Do you... Take a look. No, loo...
- Take a look. - I... No. No, I don’t.
Okay, you know what?
What’s the alternative? What...
Yeah, but what’s... what is their idea?
I-I don’t know.
I don’t know. I don’t know, either.
I don’t know.
I mean, is it to leave it all shitty?
And I’m not-I'm not condescending.
I mean, I’m on their side. It’s...
But the-the other choice is to literally...
just watch all the buildings fall down.
That’s... that's what’s gonna happen.
The only thing I’ve ever seen that works is that
bringing money into a place will make that place...
a better place.
But I’m the asshole.
Right, huh? No vision,
just money.
Money, money, money.
Uh, you...
Do you want to... uh...
Y-You should come over to the house.
I mean, c-come over for... Have dinner
with the... our... the... our family. Yeah?
Sure. Yeah.
Good.
Okay, good.
Good. I mean, I don’t know how it’s all gonna...
work out,
but they are trying to conserve this thing...
to death.
So...
That’s good. I’ll see you.
Okay? Over there.
Did you kill her?
I don’t try and kill anybody.
We just play for fun.
Did you win?
Uh, dinner is in 15 minutes.
We have a ridiculous amount of food in here.
Have you ever thought about what you’re taking from somebody else
by having too much?
Oh, you mean from the freezer section at the store?
Hey, sweetheart, next time leave some Eggo's
for the little people.
You remember when I was little,
where we lived before we moved into this ridiculous house?
Yes, I do. It’s one of our rent houses now.
We can clear out the meth lab and you can move in there
If you want.
You used to be such a normal guy.
I don’t know what happened to make you so...
grabby.
You know what? Me being grabby
is what put that tennis racket in your hand.
She’s soiling the nest
so she doesn’t feel so sad when she leaves.
She’s doing it to me, too.
She’s being an asshole, that’s what she's doing.
You have been a
she doesn’t feel so sad when she leaves.
She’s doing it to me, too.
She’s being an asshole, that’s what she's doing.
You have been a little single-minded lately.
Well, you know, well, I’m sorry
that nobody loves our lifestyle.
That’s not fair.
There he is. Saved by the bell.
Oh, in the nick of time. Come on in.
- Hey. - Come on, come on, come on.
- Got that for you. - Oh, you brought us some wine.
I don’t drink. Here. Yes, I do.
Dannie, get on down here.
Tyler’s here. We’re having dinner.
Hey, nice jacket. You gonna sell us some ice cream later?
Thank you, this was
- really wonderful. - You’re welcome.
- Thanks, Mom. - So, Ty, uh,
Dannie’s about to head off to college. Any words of wisdom?
Um...
I don’t know, uh...
Well, I guess I would say that the most important thing
is to follow through, you know,
under-promise, and then
over-deliver.
- I’m sure that'll come in handy. - That’s-that's
- best you got? ’Cause I... - Hey, let’s get out of here.
- What? Yup. We’re out. - Okay.
Um...
thanks for ambushing me.
Ambushing you?
Oh, no, I just assumed that your dad
was gonna say I was coming over.
He didn’t.
Look, I’m sorry for the asshole comment just now.
I was just kind of bummed that we missed our date.
I had to babysit.
So you said.
What’s that supposed to mean?
I don’t know, just... it was a little confusing, I guess,
’cause we had made plans,
and then...
Sometimes plans change.
Yeah.
Yeah, they do.
Listen, um,
tell your parents thank you for having me over.
- Ty, I-I don’t want... - Look, Dannie, what?
I get it.
Take care of yourself at school, okay?
Thank you for dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Furlbee.
It was really tasty.
Mm.
Uh, I guess you were wrong.
I guess so. I thought they were flirting.
Wouldn’t be appropriate anyway. Although she could do worse.
She will do worse.
What does that mean?
She’s going to college. She has mistakes ahead of her.
She’s a smart girl.
Although she is going through a thing.
- I mean... - Yeah.
- Remember when she turned ten? - Of course.
The cake.
I find you in the bathroom.
- The what? - I found you
- in the bathroom with the cake. - Oh, my God, that’s right.
I was... It was the double digits.
I was... I put the one candle in the cake,
and I put the zero candle in the cake,
and I freaked out. I was so freaked out.
I stole the cake, I’m hiding in the bathroom.
All those little girls’ faces.
Oh, God, you’re... Scarred for life.
- Hey. - What?
What do you think... what do you think about us
going to the Blue Ridge this weekend?
We could get a cabin.
- Oh, that cabin was a dump. - It was fine.
No, if we-we... if we go on vacation,
we should go to Europe.
Okay, then let’s do that.
Well, obviously, we can’t do that now.
Then let’s do the cabin thing.
No, we should do something big.
We can plan it, like, for next summer.
We-we don’t even know if she’s gonna be back next summer.
Nah, she’ll come back.
B-But it’s not gonna be the same.
Right now we’re still kind of a unit.
- Next year we won’t be. - Yeah, well, I can’t.
You know, I literally... I can’t.
Right? I mean, you see what I’m doing, so...
Yeah.
I was hoping there was still a chance.
I’m going downstairs.
Yeah, uh, Sandy, when you come back up,
could you bring me some tea?
Herbal?
Thanks for coming down.
Sure.
Well, I can’t imagine I come all this way down
to hear good news, so...
The drop of blood we found on your bandana
belongs to your son.
Um, maybe he used it
to dab at a cut or something,
but the point is, this means your ex-husband
is one of the seven.
Fuck you, Rick.
Fuck you.
When was the last time you spoke to your ex-husband, ma’am?
Rick’s an asshole,
but he is not a bad man.
So I don’t want little Ricky thinking anything differently.
We’re not asserting otherwise, ma’am.
Oh, yeah, really? Then what the fuck are you asserting?
The best way
for all of us to find out what happened
is for you to tell us what you know.
When did you last see him?
The day before, uh, the bloods thing.
Okay. And where was that?
- At Bell’s. - Bell’s.
He said he was gonna come back, take little Ricky fishing later,
but he never came back.
Do you know who Rick spent his time with
while he was in Braden... friends, associates?
I don’t know.
Well, didn’t he used to own
the hardware store with Ken Fry?
Yeah, he did.
Ken said he saw Rick later... the next day,
the day after.
He had $500 Rick had given him
for my child support.
The day after seven bloods.
Walmart said that he saw Rick the day after.
Okay.
What does that mean?
Does that mean that he’s still alive?
We’ll need to take an official statement.
Hey, Wilkie!
Goddamn, Pop.
Hey, Wilk.
What are you doing here?
I got a...
We got this, uh,
big PennDOT contract for the mill,
so I thought I’d come by,
see some of my favorite employees personally.
See if you want to come back.
Millwork, man?
Don’t know if you want me for millwork anymore.
I’d have you back in a heartbeat, Wilk.
That’s why I'm here.
You heard anything about Cecil?
Hell, man, he-he’s been in prison for...
Wait. Prison?
For years, man.
Things got bad for him. He was stealing and...
What about, uh, um,
J-Red?
Davidson?
Drugs, man.
- He’s got rehab, right? - No.
His wife O.D.’d.
Disappeared into his arm after. I haven’t...
I haven’t seen him in... I don’t know... years.
You know who’s supposed to be doing all right, though,
is, uh, Roy.
- Moats? - Yeah.
Heard that at least. He’s... he's got clean.
He’s living in Ohio.
He’s...
Good.
I, uh, done a bad job
keeping in touch with everybody.
Yinz were the first ones to call me Pop, you know?
At least let me, uh,
- you know, help you out. - No, I-I’m good.
No, no, I’m serious.
I-I thought about it a hundred different ways, I’m...
There’s nothing to do.
- You’ll call me if... - Yeah.
So he left Braden
after the hardware store with Mr. Fry closed.
That was the summer of ’15?
Yeah. Yeah, he was, uh...
...he was real bitter about it.
Uh, he loved owning his store.
I always thought that was probably why we, you know...
Men don’t roll with the punches
like we do when it comes to jobs, you know?
It’s like, uh,
it’s like so much of them is...
tied up in what they do, you know?
Excuse me, Terri, um...
Walmart’s store isn't open,
and he doesn’t seem to be around.
Do you know where we might find him?
Mm-mmm.
Hey, can I ask you a question?
Yeah, of course.
What are you gonna say...
when you announce it?
That he’s dead? That he’s a suspect?
Just that he’s been identified as one of the seven.
We won’t speculate.
Okay, well, you will be the only ones that don’t.
How do I protect my little guy?
I mean, I can’t...
tell him what happened to his dad.
I mean, we don’t know, but...
What am I supposed to tell him?
I don’t know.
- I’m sorry. - Yeah.
Please, go on.
What the fuck, man?
Hey, Jake. I didn’t hear you pull up.
Is Pete home?
He’s giving the baby a bath,
but will be done soon.
Come on in.
Thanks.
He was a good guy. He was buddies with Walmart.
You don’t remember him? Laid off, like, five years ago.
Had that hardware store for a while.
He’s dead? He was killed that night?
Hey, Drimmer, you know Rick Mitchell, right?
Yeah.
Did you hear what happened to him?
It’s no joke.
Rick was there? Fuckin’ Rick?
All right, calm down.
- I asked you. - Just...
I asked you who was there.
You h-you had tarps all over them, all right?
- I couldn’t see their fuck... - I need you to quiet down.
Y-You got to tell me right now
how you’re involved in this, or I’m going to the fucking cops.
Would you just quiet the fuck dow...
I just, uh...
I didn’t know you knew Rick.
I’ve known Rick since we were teenagers.
You know I know fuckin’ Terri.
Fine. I’m sorry.
But the less you know, the better.
What’d you do. You, uh, you kill him?
No.
I told you what I did.
I found ’em, I called you.
Wha-What did you drag me into here?
Am I gonna, like, go to jail?
No, you’re not going to jail. You’re my son. I promised you,
- you’re not going to j... - You got to stop fuckin’ saying that.
- I-I’m not your fucking son. - All right, fine, fine.
Just keep yelling, then.
And we’ll both be nailed for covering it up.
I need you to sit there,
and I-I need you to tell me
exactly what the fuck happened.
I still don’t get it.
Yeah, that’s what I’ve been saying.
They killed seven people.
Right? So what’s the harm in killing you?
- Thanks. - Well...
unless they didn’t kill the seventh.
What was it that Bud said to her, exactly?
She doesn’t think he was a part of it.
But he said people can’t find out what happened,
or lots of people will lose their jobs.
So, do you think that these guys that had you...
you think those were Bud’s guys?
- What, like workers or something? - Mm-hmm.
No, they seemed like they’d done this kind of thing before.
So, really, we don’t know Bud was involved directly at all.
Yeah, we do, ’cause he said it.
Look, can you do me a favor
and think about this from the perspective of
what if Bud Carl did this, just for a second?
Hey, man, you’re the one who said the thing
about him being threatened.
Why would someone he’s working with threaten him?
Okay.
Okay, let’s do this your way.
Let’s say that Bud is sending something illegal
over the border.
Not whiskey, but...
Drugs, right? Got to be.
Bud Carl’s a drug dealer?
Oh, for fuck’s sake, why not?
There was a time when only rich white guys
were dealing drugs in this country.
Oh, here we go. Why do you got to bring race into it, huh?
Every time I disagree with you,
- you call me a racist. - I apologized.
It was a half-assed apology.
Yeah, well, it’s because I didn’t mean it.
Oh, boy.
Look, I’m not saying you’re like Travis Wilcox
or some white supremacist.
I just mean it’s tribal.
And I got it, too.
Bud Carl looks like you.
He employed your dad.
My dad was a union man.
He thought that Bud helping his workers on the side
was a way to keep them loyal to him
rather than the union.
I’m not some fucking shill for Bud Carl.
All right, maybe you’re right
that Bud didn’t know what was going on.
And maybe he found out, and now he’s covering up
for someone else.
If there was one illegal shipment,
there’ll be another.
Right.
And there’s the warehouse, too.
What warehouse?
Has there been any infidelity?
Not for me. With him, possibly.
There was a woman he was texting with.
A work associate.
Do you have the texts?
I don’t care about that anymore.
I don’t want to be there, I don’t want to be near him.
I understand, but in order to get
what you need out of this...
I want to-I want to serve him as soon as possible.
Of course.
And I’m not trying to dissuade you from that,
but it would be a good idea
to know what we have on him.
At the very least, we need to make sure
he’s not hiding assets.
We want to know what he has before...
You take it all away from him?
We need to get a forensic accountant.
I can recommend one.
A woman, which I find a lot or my clients...
I’m gonna stop you there.
If we need to look into Wilson’s finances,
uh, I was an accountant and his bookkeeper
before I got demoted to being his wife.
Great.
Hello, Wilson.
Oh, hi.
- Hey, Mayor. - Good to see you.
Come in.
- Thank you for seeing me so quick. - Always.
Your calls go straight to the bat phone in here.
I can’t think of a-a higher compliment.
- Have a seat. - Oh.
So, what can I do for you?
Uh, okay, so, uh,
you remember the plans I showed you for downtown?
Of course. You certainly have plenty of property.
How you doing on investments?
Well, we’ve got a lot of, uh, dominoes lined up,
but linchpin is the mill.
The mill’s actually doing pretty well.
- Well... - I mean, considering.
You heard about the new contract?
Well, yes, I did and that’s what I wanted to talk to you about.
Uh, remember I showed you the condos? Right?
Well, we want to do a whole slew of new housing.
- You mean like Section 8 type stuff? - Oh, no, no.
No, no, no. No, like the condos.
Planned communities, open-air malls,
new families, uh, coming in.
Wilson, listen,
one thing I’ve never understood
about your vision is who?
Look around. We don’t have a middle class.
Well, we got the, uh, country club.
You got retirees to move to a five-star golf course,
but that’s not what you’re talking here.
No, but, okay, what about all the tech?
The tech’s in the city.
You know the term "job-free growth"?
Most of those companies use ten, 20 people tops.
You can’t revitalize a dead steel town with that.
Oh.
So, the mill gets one new contract
and you jump on the populism train?
Even if the mill gets back to full capacity,
- those folks can’t afford your condos. - Yeah, well,
I’m not talking about those...
I mean...
Look, I’m not trying to be a pessimist.
And I’m always open to any compelling idea.
So, what is it you think I can help you with?
Uh...
I don’t know.
Honestly, I was, uh...
I, you know, I was hoping you could help. I was...
I was thinking you and I could, you know...
But, uh,
yeah, you put your thumb on the scale for development.
I got it.
Looks pretty empty.
Lori says that city records have Carl Steel
as still owning this place.
Old prep plant.
Ask her to look into this guy, Michael Goodman.
Goes by Goot.
That the guy you saw Bud out here arguing with?
Yeah, and Carl still paid him 250k for website design.
Why does a steel mill need a $250,000 website?
Well, speaking of that,
we confiscated the accountant’s computer
for any forensic information in the sweep of the mill.
You want to know what we found?
- Spyware. - Huh.
Recently installed.
Now, who would be watching him?
- I don’t know. - Hmm.
Could be a pretty interesting file on that, though.
Possibly.
Hey.
How is it that you thought I wouldn’t find out?
Uh...
Gosh, I-I, uh...
I don’t know, sweetheart.
You are less than three weeks
from total collapse.
No, no, I’m-I'm, uh,
momentarily overleveraged.
It’s, uh, it's an occupational hazard.
Can we have the real conversation?
Yeah.
The one where you drop the verbosity
and the sunshine?
Yes.
You are a hair away from losing everything.
Ten million in the red to First Pennsylvania.
Five to the limited partners
- I know. I know, I know. - on the first savings.
- And-and your moves make no sense. - Sandy...
You borrowed against the townhouses to build
- the live-work lofts. Why would... - Sandy, Sandy, Sandy.
Sandy, I know.
I know. Stop.
Stop.
Please, stop.
What happened to you?
Hey, wait, d-do you want to go to that cabin?
The, uh, the Blue Ridge?
No.
No, I want you to change.
When I first met you...
you worked hard because
- you loved it. - Oh...
And when you were off of work,
you threw yourself into that even more.
I know.
I know, I know.
I’m not saying this to chastise you.
I’m not saying it because I’m mad.
I just want to know...
what was the last thing you did
that you were whole-hearted about?
I’m not entirely sure, but if I open this file,
- then click on this... - Mm-hmm.
Tap.
- No shit, here it is. - China.
Bud said that’s where they were sending the bourbon.
Why?
Uh, a gift.
To help him get some steel contract?
China’s the number-one steel producer
in the world, Pete.
Why in God’s name is Bud Carl sending steel to China?
