American Crime

People died, and you denied it.

I tried to do right, and you stopped me.

I left Carson.

Can I stay with you and the girls?

I have the right to have a baby.

How are you gonna provide?

Customers buy tokens online.

And they like what you're doing, they'll tip you.

It's just what you want to do to get tipped.

I am killing myself in that office seven days a week.

We hired a nanny so you can just sit around and write checks.

I hired a nanny so there'd be somebody else in the house

to help take care of our son.

Scott: Hey, guys! Helen: Sorry we're late.

We were about to send out a search party.

Hi, there. - Hi.

We got a table. We got a table right over here.

- Hello. - Right over here.

We went through a rough stretch.

We did.

But, you know, we're still making.

America's most comfortable furniture.

Well, you're a hell of a businessman.

Clair: And he owns the trademark.

Uh, yeah.

Right, yeah, simple as that.

Owning the trademark... Anybody can do it.

Hey, how's Nicky?

He is so great. Oh!

Let me show you. He's so cute.

Oh! He's a little man now!

Yeah. It goes fast. Oh.

Yeah, I really wish I'd taken in those years,

those early years, just a little bit more, you know?

It was... It was tough. It was harder than I thought.

Mm. You get... You get so stressed-out,

you don't even realize how it's affecting you.

Mm-hmm. And now he's grown, and now it's no more stress.

It's... It's enjoyment.

Here. Look here.

He just learned how to ride a bike.

Look at him. - Aww.

Oh, that's so... Aww.

- That's great. - Isn't he cute?

It must be so wonderful.

Nicholas: Oh, yeah, yeah, it's so wonderful,

Clair went and got herself a nanny to do all the work.

Ohh.

Damn. You're up, Helen.

Hmm. She doesn't do all the work.

No, she doesn't do all the work. She just does all your work.

Ah.

And, uh, she only speaks French.

Clair... Clair went and got a nanny who only speaks French.

Ohh.

- What? She sounds hot. - Scott!

- I'm just... - She's very sweet.

Well, unless you ask her to do something in English,

and then she's just somebody who

doesn't understand a word you're saying.

Come on. Let's go, Scott.

Let's end this thing. I-I got to work in the morning.

Oh! So sad, so sad!

Would you just...

Okay, Clair, come on.

Win this for us.

Yeah. Come on, Clair. It's just a game.

That's it, no big deal,

no pressure, just bragging rights.

That's all.

Watch. Look... Look how... Watch how...

She's trying to figure this out.

I mean, you... You can just...

You can just see her little mind working.

Quit. You're making her nervous.

No, he's not.

- Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! - You cannot make Clair nervous.

Nope. No, she was a hell of a businessman.

She got things done.

Of course, that was before she gave it all up

to... to stay at home.

You sit around all day doing nothing,

get used to people doing things for you.

Maybe you're not so sharp anymore.

Just let her... Let her shoot, Nick.

Just go ahead and shoot, Clair.

Or maybe you want the nanny to do it for you.

8 ball, corner pocket.

- Ooh! - Oh!

That's my girl.

Well...

You know, Nick thinks nobody speaks French,

but you speak French, right, Helen?

I'm rusty, but...

Je ne pouvais pas tomber enceinte

parce que Nicholas est impuissant.

C'est la cause de lui si on ne pouvait pas avoir d'enfant.

It was really nice seeing you guys.

I'm tired.

What did she say?

What did she say?

Hey.

Hey.

Should I quit?

No.

Got to hang in there.

I know. Bills are piling it up as it is.

I just sometimes figure, you know,

maybe I do like the rich people do...

Get a lot of debt and let the banks figure it out.

How's being pregnant?

Good.

Is that a new picture?

Same one.

You got to start seeing a doctor.

You know, you got to start taking care of yourself.

I will.

How are you doing?

Kelli's not doing so good...

not doing too good at all.

Can I talk to her?

Just let me talk to her.

Hey, girl. What you doing?

Cassi's starting to show now.

Yeah.

See that?

That's the future right there...

my future.

Hey, Kelli,

want me to put on a little show for you?

Rex, you can watch, too.

Help your girl have a good time.

That's sweet of you, Rex.

Well, I can't retire, but maybe you can...

maybe you and your baby.

For the whole week?

Yeah, the whole week.

Hey, you been signing up and doing chores?

Yeah.

Got to do chores, all right?

Got to help out.

Greg: Kimara?

Greg, hey.

- Hey. - How are you?

I'm good. I'm good.

Well, it's good to see you outside of Virginia.

Ah, you know, making the rounds, getting out in the real world.

Well, we... We appreciate it.

Y'all are such great supporters.

And if you happen to be bearing a sizable donation,

it would not be turned down.

You know we're always just one proposal away.

It's actually part of the reason

why I wanted to steal a bit of your time.

Okay. So, you know we fund the downtown Greensboro shelter.

Yeah. I just came from a meeting with Abby Tanaka.

She loves you. - Aww. The feeling is mutual.

She is... Well, they are doing such great work over there.

- Yeah. They are. - Yeah.

We're in the final stages of getting

a grant approval for the shelter.

Yeah. She told me.

Honestly, it couldn't have happened

without the involvement of people like yourself.

Mm. I just transition people there.

They do all the work.

Kimara, 105 people to the shelter last year?

That's pretty tireless.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's... it's work.

Anyway, uh...

I just need you to confirm the numbers for us.

Mm. So Abby gave you these?

Yeah.

I need to check with my notes from last year.

Sure. You... You want to print something up or...

Um, I keep handwritten notes.

I'm a bit of a technophobe.

Must be a mess when y'all have to write up proposals.

Hmm. Let me make a copy of this.

Oh, you can just keep it.

I hate to make a deal out of this, but I just...

I have to put something in front of the board.

Yeah. Sure. Sure.

Hello. This is Abby.

Abby. This is Kimara.

Hey. What's up?

You know Greg Stephens?

Greg? Yeah.

Well, he came by my office.

He wanted me to confirm that I placed 105 kids at your shelter.

Hello?

Um, can we talk?

That's what we're doing... Talking.

I can't do this while I'm in my office.

Can we talk?

I'm sorry he came to you.

Are you sorry he came to me,

or are you sorry that you're committing fraud?

It's not fraud.
