M.I.A.

Tiger's eye.

Your grandmother gave one to me

and one to my sister when we were girls.

Carmen? The sister you hate?

Sometimes it's hard to look at you,

because all I see is my mom's face.

You lost family in the holocaust.

Were your parents in Auschwitz?

- They died there. - The past is what defines us.

I will give you a chance,

but you slack off, or cause any problems,

and you will be out on your asses.

I didn't order this.

Finish your drink.

We'll dump him here.

You stay on this path,

and you will pay in ways you can't imagine.

Hey. I'm glad you called.

Fuck.

Morning.

Hey.

Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.

It's cool.

You outta here?

Yeah, I gotta get to work.

Hibiscus garden motel beds don't make themselves.

I asked you about that last night,

but you had other things on your mind.

What happened?

I sliced it at work.

I'll call you.

Yeah, okay.

Actually, you know what?

Not okay.

I-I-I don't get you.

We vibe, we hang out, we hook up,

you ghost me, and then you hit me up,

- so i... - okay.

"Okay"?

I won't hit you up again.

That's not what I want.

Maybe it's me. Just... it just feels like there could be more.

You know, we could be more.

I've, I've got a lot going on right now.

So you said. Who doesn't?

No bullshit. It's different for me.

How?

There are things about me

you can't possibly understand.

I want to.

Tell me about these things I can't possibly understand.

I'm sorry. I can't.

Hey.

You're off the schedule this week.

Lovely, too.

Wait, why is she being punished?

Surveillance footage that I erased

showed her luring that guy into the hallway.

No, that's not fair. It was my idea, not hers.

Don't you start with me about fair.

Go home.

I don't need time off.

My hand's a little busted, but I can work.

Too bad! I need time off from you.

Okay, look. I am... sorry? Yeah, I am, too.

- Can't we just move past it? - No, I can't just move past it!

Actions have consequences, Dani.

You're off until I call you back.

Dan, don't stop.

Dan, don't stop.

Carmen.

I love you.

Enough to go again?

You're gonna be late.

The boys will make sure of that.

Waffle time!

We're hungry, Carmen!

Only boys who aren't late for the bus get waffles!

House rules!

Last one to the kitchen is a rotten egg.

Charter leaves in 30.

Where's my boat bag?

On top of the "sports stuff" box.

I will unpack this weekend.

Wyatt, Nathan... Be good.

Bye, dad.

Smell you later.

Hey, jonze. Catch.

My lawyer. Custody hearing's next month.

- Not soon enough. - Yeah.

Yo.

Hey! Stop horsing around!

So you don't lose your keys.

One for you, for me, for each of the boys,

and one for our baby.

Relax. I'm not pregnant.

Gotta graduate first, get a job.

Yeah.

You sure you don't want to speed things up?

When'd you get a pager?

Business picked up.

And... boss man loves new gadgets.

Just another way to keep us on a leash.

Who the hell fishes at night?

Rich people.

And we charge 'em triple for the experience.

I'm gonna be back late. Don't wait up.

Get out of my house!

Carmen, it's just me.

Dan...

This is where you tell me what the fuck is going on.

It's better you don't know.

Only two kinds of people use pagers:

Doctors,

and drug dealers.

I don't deal 'em...

I just run 'em.

You should have told me.

Yeah.

I wanted to, I didn't know how.

What was I supposed to say? "Hey, carm, nice to meet you.

"You got a great ass.

"And, by the way...

I run drugs."

You wouldn't have given me the time of day.

You're right.

I wouldn't have.

And that would have been a damn shame.

You have to stop.

We need the money.

Don't need it that bad.

Running charters doesn't pay for alimony,

lawyers, rent, food, tuition,

if these two knuckleheads can get into college.

You're working with criminals.

It's not what you think.

I pick up, I drop off. I'm careful.

Careful? Look at you.

I ditched the boat when coasties showed up,

picked my way through mangroves, and made it home safe.

This time!

What happens to the boys if you get caught or killed?

I grew up around this shit,

saw what it did to my friends, their families.

It ruins lives!

Look, I'm sorry.

I don't need an apology.

I need you to make better choices.

I love you.

I want to share my life with you,

but I won't do it if you're in the game.

Baby, I'm home.

Hey!

- What the fuck! - What the fuck?!

You're home.

Leah, this is Dan.

Dan, Leah.

I knew you guys were twins but not identical twins.

Hold still.

Better off using ice in a towel.

Tray ice is too chunky.

Frozen peas cover more surface area.

Okay, Einstein.

Last time I checked, only one of us here has a degree.

Seems like a waste of money

if they aren't teaching basic first aid.

At least I'm trying to do something productive

with my life.

What brings you to town, Leah?

A change of pace.

She dumped another toxic boyfriend.

How would you know? You never bothered to meet him.

You have a type.

What type is that?

Bikers, jailbirds, assholes...

I'll find somewhere else to stay.

I didn't come here to be judged.

You have nowhere to go.

I can sleep in my car.

Don't be such a punk.

Quit being such a bitch!

- I'll leave you two alone. - Name calling? Nice!

If the broom fits.

The one stuck up your ass?

Seriously?

I don't know where that came from.

I'm happy you're here.

Better be, 'cause I really don't have

anywhere else to go.

Alright, go brush your teeth.

And, Nate, you need to spit out the toothpaste,

not swallow it.

What's your deal, Dan jonze?

You mean, "who's this bum shacking up with your sister?"

Yeah.

What do you want to know?

Why'd you get a divorce?

I discovered my ex preferred the company of other men.

Loved partying more than being a mom.

You able to provide for my sister?
