I'm glad you called. Too much… It's too long for us to go without talking.

Dad, I have to tell you...

No, no, listen, before you say anything, I got to apologize. I should never have used you to catch the archer, and I'm sorry. Laurel, I'm just... I'm sorry.

Thank you. I owe you an apology, too.

For what?

I've been trying to avoid him all evening.

If we didn't show, it'd look suspicious.

How can you talk to him that way? As if nothing's about to happen?

I've been living this life for five years. Five more minutes won't matter.

Hey, we should get going. Judges don't appreciate the value in being fashionably late.

Got any other tips?

Let the lawyer do all the talking. They'll give you a pad and paper but do not play tic tac toe. Judges don't appreciate that, either.

You know, sometimes, Ollie, I just don't get you. And by sometimes, I mean ever.

You're actually not the first person to say that to me today.

Why am I not surprised?

Uh, actually, there was something that I wanted to ask you.

And what's that?

Will you go out with me? Like on a date.

You brought me dinner to ask me to dinner?

This isn't a joke, Laurel. Martin Somers got attacked last night.

What?

Yeah.

By who?

It doesn't matter. Point is, you have whipped up a storm with these guys, and until the dust settles you'll be protected, okay? End of discussion.

That might have worked when I was eight. But it's not gonna work anymore.

End of discussion, Laurel! You're insistent on doing your job, that's great. But this is me doing mine, okay? And not just as a father, but as a cop. These people, they are more dangerous than you are willing to admit. And you've made them angry.

Let me tell you something, my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. It's got no use on the inside. You'd better get used to that idea.

You should not be doing this.

First you don't talk, now you offer advice.

Not advice. A warning.

Well, a little late for warnings, don't you think?

I agree with you.

So? Where's the rest of the car?

I was hoping you could tell me.

It was stolen.

Stolen?

Yeah, I went down to Frejus to pick up a few things. When I came out of the market, it was gone.

Did you report it?

It's the first on my list of things to do today.

Hey, did your friend find you?

Which friend?

I don't know. Just some English guy.

Rick, what did you tell him?

Look, it's all good, man. I told him I didn't know where you were, and Julia might, and he should just try her at the hospital.

What's wrong? What are you not telling me?

I need to ask you for something. I need you to trust me.

Of course I trust you.

Please, don't interrupt me when I'm asking rhetorical questions.

That's probably enough about us. So tell us about you.

Me? Okay. I'm a Sagittarius, which probably tells you way more than you need to know.

Yes, it tells us that you participate in the mass cultural delusion that the sun's position relative to arbitrary constellations at the time of your birth somehow affects your personality.

Where are you now?

I am at my office.

I doubt.

Why do you doubt?

If you were at your office, we would be talking face to face.

What, dude wouldn't take a bribe? That dude in there? Saul Goodman we're talking about?

Yeah. 'Morally outraged', he said. Threatened to call the police.
