- Previously... - This is Garbeau country,
and I'm a Garbeau man.
It's been two weeks
since Obie put you on security?
And I haven't heard jack about Splashercize.
You want me to wear your ring?
Show me what you're worth.
Where is my son, anyway?
I'm sure Obie's holding him up.
The amount of my money Cody has handed over
to that idiot...
Your money?
You wouldn't believe the trash I get.
- Hey! - Oh, stop. Krystal!
Fuckless tit.
What are you talking about?
The margins on the FAM products are slim.
- What? - But Obie
pays Garbeau Foundation employees
from the tapes and from the rallies and the books.
Get the fuck out!
Ernie Gomes is full-time FAM time.
I just resigned from Rebel Rapids.
I'm sorry I got you into this.
I thought there was a way to win.
There isn't.
We got to get out. We got to get out of this.
Stop it!
You can't talk like that!
This is Krystal Stubbs.
You gave me your card at the FAM rally.
I've got a story for your TV show.
A big story.
Sometimes, they look terrible
and they're worth a fortune.
Sometimes they're shiny and worth nothing.
Hmm. What's this one?
Hmm. Two karats.
Clear, but not flawless.
Waste of my time.
That diamond is an SI2.
Hmm.
You've already shown it to someone.
Was it James?
Across the street?
And how much did he offer?
I'll give you... $6,000.
I'll tell James you said hello.
Hmm. Seven.
He said he's never seen a diamond quite like it.
It's got sparkle.
And fire.
Nine.
James offered me ten.
You give me $10,500 in cash right now, and the rock is yours.
I'm keeping the ring.
But you got to swap that diamond with something cheap.
Flint glass.
Hmm.
Okay.
You're giving me money?
Investing it in the park's future.
Splashercize.
Imagine four billboards,
one on each of the cloverleafs at I-95.
I've been working on some designs.
Did Janice kick you out?
- These ones are actually good. - Yep.
So you sell more park passes
and I get more butts in the pool.
Two-dollar butts.
That means 4,000 people would have to take your classes
before you even make your money back.
Which is why you're gonna make me park manager.
Yeah.
A lady manager. My daddy would be
- rolling over in his grave. - Hey.
Who fixed the pump on the Robert E. Whee?
No one else knows this park like I do,
and no one else'll work for a shitty $375 a week.
- $300. - Ernie made $350
and I've been here longer.
You're the reason Ernie quit. That FAM scam.
I... I feel like crap about that.
And yet you're asking for his job.
He won't mind.
He knows I got a kid and a mortgage to pay.
$350 a week.
No higher.
Fine.
Hey, Cheryl.
If it's a turd alert, it is not my turn.
No turds this time.
I was thinking how more moms would come to Splashercize
if we had a place they could leave their babies.
I've been thinking
my ass looks fat in these shorts. So what?
So, you know that room behind Gator Bites?
You're turning it into a daycare.
Did Ernie okay this?
I okayed it.
Okay.
You can charge 50 cents an hour
per kid and keep it.
- Thanks, Krys. - Mm-hmm.
But you can't charge for this one.
Mama's got some bossing to do.
Snack shop, Amber?
Go for Amber.
It's Krystal.
Bring me a red slushie and a corn dog.

What can we do for you today?
Six dozen roses.
Red roses, I want the reddest you have.
And I want the longest stems there are, okay?
And the card should say "For a special lady..."
Uh, no, hold on.
"For a very special lady.
Happy 26th, Louise. Love, your Obie-Wan Kenobi."
O-N-E, Obie one?
No, not "one," Wan. Wan, Wan.
W-A-N. Like the movie.
Is he some kind of movie star?
No, Mr. Obie Garbeau II is a businessman.
- So, uh, six dozen... - Yeah.
- ... red, long stem. - Uh-huh.
Well, you have my Visa card on file. Cody Bonar.
I'll pick them up tomorrow.
Thank you, we'll see you then.
Mm-kay.
It's Krystal. Leave one.
Hi, Krystal, it's, uh, it's Cody.
You haven't called me back to apologize.
Which, um... you should.
So, call me.
Please.
Bonar Enterprises, Cody Bonar speaking.
Sir, I'm afraid your credit card was declined.
- What? - I'm sorry, but that's
- what it's saying. - No, that's not possible,
my card has an unlimited... limit.
Do you still want the flowers?
Yes, I still want the flowers.
I'll pay cash.
Hi, Krystal, it's, uh, it's Cody.
You haven't called me back to apologize.
Fucking right, I haven't.
Let's make you a bottle.
You see what I'm talking about with this scam?
Ben Franklin wasn't a president.
They make it confusing on purpose.
So no one can get clear answers.
They're counting on people being exhausted
- and brainwashed. - Thanks.
These are people who claim
FAM made them millions, but...
- it's all lies. - Devil's advocate here.
Isn't this how business works?
Only a few people make it.
My kid doesn't have a father because of FAM.
He worked himself to death and never broke even.
That's a sad story, but it's not news.
The news is nothing but sad stories.
Plus, this has got to be fraud or false advertising.
People believe this bullshit.
They quit their jobs. My neighbor, he quit his job.
You don't need to go on TV to tell your neighbor the truth.
I tried talking to him, he's just like Travis.
He won't listen to anyone but Obie Garbeau II.
Well, no audience is gonna care.
They want serial killers or cannibalism.
Is this Obie guy a cannibal?
Maybe.
One sec.
Oh, Obie has his own private security force.
Run by this mouth-breather named Roger Pendleton.
And my upline, Cody Bonar...
What's the matter, baby? Mommy being too loud?
Obie gave him a gun.
People have guns.
It's more than just a gun. It's gold and engraved.
I think it might be satanic stuff.
But he does whatever
Obie asks; I mean, he sleeps with that stupid gun.
- So you two are close. - We were.
Anyway, I'm done with him.
Worm.
No judgment here.
But we need evidence if this story's gonna sell.
Hey.
What's wrong? Let Mama see.
I think she must be pushing another tooth.
I used to use that trick on my daughter, too.
Yeah? How old is she now?
- 19. - Bet that's worse than teething.
If we're gonna do this, you need to stay close
to this Bonar guy to know when he's gonna meet with Obie.
It's our best chance.
Yeah, I guess so.
Well, all right, then.
Did Rosario let you in?
I came in the window.
Well, that'll sound good on the police report.
Mother, I haven't committed a crime, okay?
These are my things given to me by my grandfather
and anyway,
what do you expect me to do, all right?
You'll get your allowance back when you behave.
It's not an allowance. It's a trust.
And I don't trust you to raise another man's child.
I'm not breaking up with Krystal.
And you can't make me.
I don't need your money.
Or your credit. Which I was always gonna pay back.
I mean, that's why they invented credit.
Selling a lot of boxes of dried soup, are we?
I'm a rising star in the Garbeau organization, Mother.
Ask anyone.
Then why are you rooting around in that old trunk
looking for loose change?
Darling, you couldn't play that when you were 12,
and you can't play it now.
Well, that's, uh, that's very nice,
but, uh, there's no big market for bugles.
I can give you, uh, 40.
- Thousand? Yes. - 40 dollars.
I'm not gonna sell you my grandfather's
Confederate service bugle for $40.
Sir, I'm offering you what these things are worth.
No, I don't believe you. That's...
Cody?
Oh.
Hi. I-I didn't know you had company. I-I'll come back.
No, no, no, no, no, it's fine.
He's no one.
You look, um...
You look well.
Thank you.
I hope you're here to apologize.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
Here.
I'm gonna miss you.
Uh, what, uh, what kind of ring is that?
- Is that a diamond? - Who's he?
N-N-Nobody, I'm just selling some old stuff, forget it.
Uh, l-let me, let me just take a look.
Hey! Hold your horses, sir.
D-Do you really want to break up?
No.
You don't?
I said no, didn't I?
The thing is, I-I don't want to, either.
Give me that finger.
That feels better, right?
Mr. Boner, I, uh, don't have all day.
I got to go back to my stupid J-O-B, anyway.
Come to my place later, we'll have dinner.
Yeah, okay. Oh, I have to pick up a few things for Mr. Garbeau
and then drop them off at Paradise Cay, but yeah.
You're seeing Obie?
Oh, well, pick me up in a couple hours.
I'll go with you.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Bye. Love you. - Bye.
Ernie? Harold?
Back here, Mom.
I am not a FAM product.
What in tarnation is going on?
Aren't these a hoot?
A-And they're not just funny.
They teach a valuable lesson.
100% self-use.
That's my face cream.
Hon, we're asking our downline to commit.
We have to commit, too.
But FAM doesn't sell that face cream.
And they don't sell that dish soap I like, either.
Krystal says that everything a family needs
is in that catalogue.
Well, Krystal's wrong.
The more you buy,
the more you make.
That doesn't make sense.
Oh, uh...
S-Stan gave me the morning off.
Well, it's about to be afternoon.
Come on here, baby.
See you later.
Mirta?
You changed the locks?
Station policy.
And I'm gonna need your badge back.
Wish I had it on me.
It's clipped to your bag.
Oh.
Come on. Let's go get a coffee, talk.
I'll loan you some money.
I don't need money.
Then why are you stealing equipment?
I'm borrowing equipment.
- Why not just ask? - Honestly?
Because I didn't want to hear your condescending bullshit.
I'm working on a story. Happy?
Yes, actually. That's-that's great.
You really think you can sell it?
That was condescending.
I'm working on a spec.
Let me use my old office for a couple of days.
I might offer it to you first.
- Thanks, Isaac. - Mm-hmm.
All right, you're loving this.
You're happy, you're happy, you're smiling.
Yes, like that, like that.
Now, cool breeze in your face,
you're airing out your tail.
Cody.
What in the H-E-double toothpicks is going on here?
Cody, cool your jets.
It's fine. I-I think I got what I needed.
I'll have contact sheets today.
- Thank you. - That's right, get out of here.
Why are you wasting your time with this?
Splashercize still?
Well, I know I can't do Splashercize for FAM, Cody,
but I can do it for me.
Honey, look at all these fences and gates,
I mean, why would you be a caged fish
when you can be a bird flying free?
Because I need a salary.
FAM bonus checks won't do.
Sorry if that makes me a fish.
I told you, Krystal, I'm working directly for Obie now.
Is he paying you yet?
Is...?
Don't you like my costume?
Yeah. Yeah.
I need to grab Obie's flowers.
- Okay. - Be right back.
So, thank you so much
for the beautiful arrangement and-and we'd love to all
see you tomorrow, so all of you can stop by.
Thank you so much.
Chrysanthemums.
- The FAM summer flower. - Cody Boner,
as I live and breathe.
Bonar. You won't be living
or breathing much longer
if you're doing what I think you're doing.
What do you think I'm doing?
Not gonna give you any ideas.
I'll get the flowers.
- Don't smile at her. - Is that your babysitter?
No, my fiancée.
Hmm. Mazel tov.
There's no reason for an arrangement
of chrysanthemums that size except to cover a podium.
You're holding a rally, aren't you?
With the Bridges Method,
IBOs, they actually make money.
So much money that many of them choose
to retire to the Sunshine State.
Now, if this growing Bridges population
- wants to come together... - That's a breach
of the Garbeau-Bridges Neutrality Pact.
As a member of Obie Garbeau II's
security team, I've got to inform you
that I'm going to inform him.
- Security? Hmm. - Yeah.
- The elite security team. - So...
you're not your own boss anymore?
- Drop the flowers. That's right. - I already did.
Uh-huh, that's great.
Why do you have a gun?
I wanted one.
You guys gonna kill each other?
Put those away.
I'm off to talk to Obie.
So don't page me when your "Bridges"
start running over troubled water.
Stop by the Hilton tomorrow if you want to see a real rally.
There won't be a rally if I have anything to say about it.
And even if there were, those chrysanthemums are too tall
for the podium. It's much shorter than you think.
- Mwah! - Don't kiss me.
You know what's behind every door?
More of the world.
¿Tú sabes lo que hay detrás de cada puerta?
Más mundo.
And what's a door?
That pretty lady at the bar?
She's a door.
Me, I'll turn that knob ten times out of ten.
¿Qué es la puerta?
¿Esa muchacha bonita en el bar?
Ella es una puerta.
Yo giraría ese mando de puerta
diez veces de diez.
Mi esposo dice solo FAM, nada más,
pero luego se enoja cuando no le sabe bien.
No hay chiles enlatados,
ni nopales, ni jícamas,
- así que ¿cómo cocinamos? - Hey.
Mr. Garbeau's tapes are five dollars apiece, okay?
Make sure everyone buys one.
Wait, what about your tapes?
Those are priceless.
That means they're free.
Step right up.
Get your tapes here, en español.
No. No, you tell him, no RV camping.
There are 22 Gold Washingtons in the region.
I want every single one of them
to buy a room, do you understand?
Yeah, I'm gonna call it, uh, Dream-smiths... no, no.
Dream-masters.
I'm calling it Dream-masters.
- Yeah. - Mr. Garbeau, sir?
I'll take those.
Yeah.
I'll call you back.
What I...
said the other night...
it was wrong.
Now I understand why Splashercize doesn't fit.
If folks could change the Garbeau System all willy-nilly,
it'd be a dang mess.
I keep saying to her,
what does a family-oriented water park in Central Florida
have to do with the Garbeau System, anyway?
- He does say that. - Yeah.
A lot.
I'm sorry, who are you again?
Uh, you...
Well, I-I'm sorry, I should introduce you.
Mr. Garbeau, this is my fiancée Krystal.
Krystal.
Pleasure.
Buck Bridges is planning a rally, sir.
Well, the Wham Bam Thank You FAM 37th Anniversary Jam
is in a couple of weeks.
He wouldn't be recruiting.
Well, I caught one of his downline prepping for a rally
at the Hilton tomorrow night.
At the Hilton here?
Yeah. The guy bragged on the number
of Bridges IBOs living in Florida.
Cancel my dinner, apologize to my wife.
Sir, no need to cancel anything.
I'll handle this, okay? I'll be there...
- Not you. - I...
I have been waiting for something like this
- for a... - Not yet.
And keep your beeper close,
I will contact you when you're nee... if you're needed.
Go.
Hey, hey, get Roger Penland on the phone.
Right away, sir.
Shit.
Okay, honey. I know that was a lot, but don't worry, okay?
Once these guys go Founder,
we won't get their boxes anymore, okay?
- Have you seen the remote? - Huh?
Designing Women is about to start.
Well, you're gonna have to watch a rerun.
Well, I can turn on the TV, Ernie, that's not the point.
No. No, no, no.
I mean Juanita's coming over to babysit.
I'm taking you somewhere special.
The Olive Garden?
Better.
Better than the Olive Garden?
Mm-hmm.
Ernie.
I'll be here 20 minutes, tops. My source is on her way.
You really shouldn't mess
- with Candice's stuff. - That bitch steals
leftovers from the break room.
Fuck her stuff.
Wait, Isaac.
I don't want my source asking for me at the front desk.
Intercept her for me and bring her up here.
You know this is crazy, right?
You said I should try to stay busy.
He's serving 20 years for money laundering.
The boy's been visiting twice weekly
since his father was locked up.
What Cody Bonar chooses to do
in his free time is his business, not yours.
Oh, it's my business when it threatens your business.
Buck Bridges is the threat.
Yes. And I have ideas about that.
But the Bonar boy should not...
Um...
Give us a minute, Hans, please.
Thank you.
Spit it out.
The court documents are sealed,
but my man at the prison said the word among the inmates:
baby Bonar went to the FBI
with evidence against his own father.
It's prison gossip.
I think your use of the boy is reckless.
I think
that you're forgetting who is the mind and who is the hand.
And I say, let's put Mr. Bonar to the test.
There's a tape recorder built into the bottom here.
When Cody's paged, just turn the tape recorder on.
I'll be waiting outside your place.
Wherever Cody goes, I'll be following with a camera.
There's 90 minutes of tape.
- Okay. Let me try. - Okay.
- Here. Hold on. - Oh. Hello.
- Hello. - Okay...
How long till you get this story out?
Well, a good story takes time.
Well, the longer it takes, the more people Obie screws.
Let's hope we get something good tonight.
Oh. Do you have a bathroom I could change her in?
Use my desk.
Okay.
Hey there...
Ernie, where are we? Are we bowling?
No bowling.
- I didn't bring socks. - No bowling.
But we will hit a strike tonight.
Oh, Bets, meet some more of our family.
I guess we're not going to the Olive Garden.
Oh, this is better than breadsticks.
I-I want, I want you to see all the good that FAM does.
Tonight, these IBOs trade in their Is and their Bs
for Cs and Es.
- Huh? - Sit down.
_
¡Bien! ¡Dime!
Mr. Bonar, I have the deals ready for you to sign.
$1 million dollars each.
Oh, why, thank you, Miss Stubbs.
- I'll put them in here. - Hmm.
I really like it, thank you.
I just thought, you know, it's really such a big deal you're
- working for Obie and all. - Yeah.
You still thinking he's gonna page you tonight?
Yeah. I mean, Bridges' rally is tomorrow, so, yeah.
Buck Bridges? The other Platinum Washington, right?
Mm-hmm.
Has his own sales system or something?
The Bridges Method.
I mean, it's not, it's not even close to the Garbeau System
for quality messaging.
Bridges just goes on and on about things that are
totally irrelevant, and...
Yes!
You've got Bonar.
Roger that.
Roger.
Roger that.
Roger.
Just taking the bow off.
- Who was that? - Roger.
There's a security meeting at an undisclosed location.
I mean, not undisclosed to me. To me, to me, it's disclosed.
Uh-huh. You want some cheese shells before you go?
- No can do. - Hey, hey, hey!
Don't you want to take it for a spin?
- Of course. - Mwah.
- Be back as soon as I can. - All right.
What are you doing out here?
He wrote on this. It might help you if you lose him.
- I'm not gonna lose him. - Okay.
? Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do... ?
"You're a millionaire a hundred times over."
? Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do ?
? Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do... ?
... my dad, he was shot down
over the South China Sea by the Japs.
And I get back up off of that couch and I'm raring to go.
? Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do ?
? Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, I am sitting ?
? In the morning at the diner on the corner ?
? I am waiting at the counter ?
? For the man to pour the coffee ?
? And he fills it only halfway ?
? And before I even argue ?
? He is looking out the window ?
? At somebody coming in ?
? Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do ?
? Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do... ?
Obie?
Shh.
Follow me.
Take your clothes off.
Yeah, right.
You first.
Is Obie in there?
Fine.
Are you gonna watch me undress?
Thank you.
Smoke.
Why are you here?
Uh, well, you sent for me, sir.
Um, Buck Bridges, sir?
The rally?
- Can I sit? - No.
Who are you, Cody Bonar?
Well, uh,
well, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a businessman.
Serving myself by-by serving you.
Who sent you?
- Who sent you? - No one.
- Who sent you? - Not... No-no one sent me.
The SEC?
The FBI?
No.
- The Reds? - No. Never.
Look me in the eye!
Don't you dare look away from me!
- Sorry. - Don't apologize.
I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
Who... sent... you?
You did?
I-I know. I came on my own.
- To kill me. - No, sir. No.
Shit.
You hate yourself, don't you?
N-No. No.
- Don't you? - No.
Don't lie to me.
Your mother came into your room when you were young.
Your sheets were wet. She laughed at you.
You hate your mother, don't you?
That didn't happen, sir.
Tell me the truth.
It, it didn't happen.
She sent you here.
No.
You're lying.
I'm done with you.
Come on, you go find Roger, give him your gun
and the names and addresses of your downline.
- No, sir! Anything but that. - You're done. Go on.
This grand gesture!
This, this eviscerated bird!
The dead pelican. Explain that to me.
- I wanted to give you strength. - What, I am not strong?!
Yes, yes, I just... I meant to show you my loyalty.
Do you hate what's strong?
No, no, I hate, I hate what's weak.
Prove it.
My father was weak.
He tried to ruin us.
He tried to steal money from my family,
so I destroyed him!
You knew.
Well, who's your daddy now? Am I your daddy?
No.
No, you're like no father I've ever known.
You've taught me.
You've inspired me.
You made me, you made me want to be my own man.
If I were to ask for your life?
I'd give it.
If I were to ask for the life of another?
You'd have it.
Kneel.
You're all right, kid.
Number four is cute,
but it needs to be an ad for the park,
not my cleavage.
Needs to be professional.
You know, I'm the manager now.
Yeah, you mentioned.
Uh, okay, how about six, then?
Oh, let me look. Uh...
Nah, too serious.
Splashercize is fun.
Five is fun.
- You've got a great smile in five. - Yeah. I do.
A manager's smile.
Five it is.
How long till I can see 'em on the interstate?
A plan to expand the Garbeau System.
What we're going to do. We're gonna bring IBOs
- from all over. - To Disney World.
No, boy, to my world.
- To Garbeau world. - Yes.
That girl...
Excuse me, sir?
Shit.
I can't wait to get the pictures back from Victor.
We'll order a bunch of frames from the catalog.
Give one to each of the guys.
Uh-huh.
You all right, hon?
Just tired.
Well, it's a good thing we didn't go bowling.
Aren't you tired?
Full days at the water park, and then all this business?
I could do this forever, you know.
I mean, it gives me energy, doing some good.
And I like seeing you happy.
It's just... are you sure we're doing good?
Those folks handing over their money...
You say it's a strike like bowling,
but what if it's a strike like baseball?
Well, that's why you get three.
After the first one, you can still hit a homer.
But not all of 'em
are gonna hit a home run, Ern.
And even the FAM pamphlet says
half of businesses fail in a year.
That's why we put in the work,
to make sure they're in the other half.
Did you know Juanita's been cleaning houses,
tucking the cash away for Mariposa's college?
Last week Victor took all that money... $2,000.
Used it to buy more starter kits.
Smart Victor. He's gonna be able
to put Mariposa through college three, four times.
Mariposa only needs to go to college once.
You didn't tell Juanita that, did you?
No.
I just listened.
You can't be negative, Bets.
We've got to be a good example.
You're talking like a zero.
What'd you call me?
I didn't call you anything.
It's just what they call it when somebody's being...
unsupportive.
So I'm unsupportive now?
He's going to dilute the market.
I've got to have a strategy as divisive as his.
A plan to expand the Garbeau System,
and I can't think small. I got to think big.
You know a businessman who thought big?
Yeah, you.
No. Walt Disney.
He brought people from all over the world to his business,
and that's what we're going to do.
We're gonna bring IBOs in from all over the country.
To Disney World.
No, boy, to-to my world.
To Garbeau world.
A world unlike anything Buck Bridges has ever even imagined.
Okay, you've lost me, sir.
That old water park in your girlfriend's scrapbook.
Yes.
I talked to the owner this afternoon.
He is ready to sell.
Well, Krystal will be thrilled, sir.
She was just saying that...
Krystal won't be anything.
Excuse me, sir?
That...
Krystal won't be anything.
Excuse me, sir?
That...
Fuck this!
