Traffik

Do you wanna get out of here?

Oh, my God.

Help. Help.

Please. Please help me!

Please!

Wait! No!

No! Please!

Hey, what's up, baby? It's me.

I just wanted to tell you happy birthday and, uh...

I have to work and stuff tomorrow and today.

Save your energy for tonight.

I'm looking forward to seeing you.

We're gonna celebrate, all right?

Have a good day. All right, bye.

Hey, Brea. It's Malia.

I remember it's your birthday.

That means take a day off, please?

Okay, mama, I'll see you tonight.

Hey, Brea.

Um, I just wanna give you a quick heads up.

I know you weren't planning on coming in today,

but, uh, you might wanna hop online.

That real estate article

you've been working on for about a year?

Yeah. Steven scooped it.

So, sorry to be the one to break it to you.

I was hoping to catch you in person.

Um... Okay. Sorry. Goodbye.

He stole my story.

Morning, Brea. Come on in.

I... I don't understand.

I brought you that real estate corruption piece months ago,

and now you're gonna run that asshole's

dumbed down version?

I'm actually sitting right here.

Get out, Steven.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Carl, how could you do this to me?

He took my research, my sources.

We live in a 24-hour news cycle.

Nothing takes months.

We spoke about this.

I was going to write a piece

about corruption in society and...

And could society exist without it.

I wanted to educate people

about Tiberius Gracchus, the first politician...

How many times do I have to tell you

that nobody gives a fuck about Tiberius Gracchus, okay?

It's about a congressman,

one congressman who cost nine families their homes.

That's it.

It's more than one person and you know that, Carl.

- You should know better than that. - I don't care.

I don't care, because you're writing a piece of fucking fluff

masquerading itself as some sort of an intellectual expose.

I know we have to sell papers, right?

But we have a moral obligation to tell the people

the whole story at the very least.

I... I thought you respected me.

Take this piece of advice.

Read both stories side by side. Do that.

Then tell me he stole your story.

You write around things.

I don't know why.

Why couldn't you just nail down a simple story?

"A simple story"?

Brea, I'm just not sure

there's a place for you here anymore.

Brea, you have been nothing,

but a positive force in my life

and you've helped me to be my best self.

I think you're just the most beautiful woman I know.

Happy birthday, baby.

Ah.

Just sayin'.

Sounds like wedding vows to me.

- Darren. - Easy.

That didn't come off the dome.

- Come on, man. - It was beautiful.

Excuse me, guys. I got to take this call.

Babe, you have to work tonight?

- It's okay. It's fine. - No.

I gotta, I gotta take this, all right? I'll be back.

Scott, talk to me. Tell me something good.

Well, yeah, he didn't show up to training camp

'cause I told him not to show up to training camp.

You okay?

Have you paid him his signing bonus?

Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

What happened?

I had a fight with my boss today,

and I'm not sure I have a job anymore.

How come you didn't say anything?

Wasn't the right time.

How about you call me when the money's in escrow?

Until then, don't even bother.

What's going on? Why all the long faces?

I thought we were celebrating here.

Brea thinks that she lost her job today, so...

Oh, that's cold-blooded. Fuck that. We doing shots.

Excuse me.

Can we have four shots of Codigo 1530 please?

Absolutely. I'll be right back with that.

Thank you. Chilled.

Just be happy you don't do what I do,

'cause I'm supposedly a sports agent,

but really, I'm just a babysitter in a suit.

That's it.

Life would be so much simpler if we just had simple jobs.

Like you, John.

Mechanic.

How much more simple can that get?

You got one piece, you got another piece,

put them together, throw some oil and shit on it

and you're good to go. That's good.

You know what I mean? Simple.

I completely disagree with you.

There's nothing simple about what John does.

He doesn't just fix cars, he builds them.

I think that's pretty impressive.

I can't do that. I can't imagine doing that. Could you?

Currently, I see something else that's very impressive.

Don't you agree, John?

Really?

- Thank you. - Enjoy.

Mmm-mmm. We will.

t's just a joke.

- Come on. - You're such a jerk.

- Baby. - God.

Yeah, listen, I can look, but I can't touch. Right, baby?

- Right. - Come on. Give me a kiss.

- Just cut it out. - Come on, baby.

To Brea,

the best reporter in Sacramento.

- Mmm. - Thank you, Darren.

I know exactly what's gonna cheer her up.

Did you tell her what you got her for her birthday?

- Darren. - No, I didn't.

It's a surprise.

Are you kidding me?

Babe, it's her birthday.

She knows he got her something.

- D. - So, you didn't

tell her about the place that I hooked y'all up with...

No, I didn't, D.

I'm just trying to cheer your girl up, man.

D's company, they have this

pretty plush pad up in the mountains,

get away from the city, you know what I mean?

That's very sweet. Thank you. It'll be fun.

I need to go to the bathroom.

Brea, come with me, please.

Okay.

Great, now I'm in trouble.

I'll see you outside, baby.

What'd I do?

Yo, you know how long

I've been trying to plan this thing?

It's a surprise

and you just blowing the whole spot like that?

You know I got a good heart, bro.

It's just when this thing starts going,

that's how I make my money.

The motherfucker won't stop. It's got a mind of its own.

Yeah, and that's how you get your ass in trouble, too.

My bad, bro. I apologize, for real.

It's all love.

On another note, you sure you're ready for all this?

It's a big step, man.

This is the next step, bro. Just...

She's the one. She's it, bro.

Is what I think happening, happening?

Well...

Oh, my gosh.

Look at me. Hey.

Look at me.

You've got something real going on.

You know that.

John proposing to you is not a bad thing.

It's a good thing.

You know what's bad?

Finding a guy that you think you love him

because he gives you everything,

but the one thing he can't give you

is himself, you know?

So, think about it.

I'll talk soon.

Oh, and by the way, bro, uh, Sunday, we're free.

- We might come up. - Why would you do that?

- Because I love you, man. - Because you love me?

You my family. I'm just fucking with you.

Drive safe tonight, brother.

- Love you, my dude. All right. - I love you, too.

I know John's a great guy.

I just don't think I'm ready.

John is the truth.

You have an amazing career,

you have a guy that adores you.

It's awesome.
