Crab cakes.
Your favorite.
Trying to bribe me,
Mr. Martinez?
It's not a bribe.
It's a hot meaI.
Fryer's still leaking.
How's your girlfriend?
He said he was
going to fix it.
I tell him, but he keeps
blaming everything on me.
If you downgrade us,
he's gonna fire me.
See you tomorrow.
Flynn.
He wants to see you.
Hey.
Flynn.
Can I just say something?
If this is about
the crab cakes-
It's not.
Seems your resume
failed to mention
four years ago.
You've done
a good job here.
But we have a responsibility
to the public trust,
and you broke that trust.
I guess I did.
Hi.
Hi.
Are you expecting someone?
Yeah.
Oh.
Are you bribing me?
Well, yeah, okay.
All right, it's a little bribe.
# If I had the time to solve
# you know I would #
# If I had to shape the form
of your mechanicaI design #
# you know I would #
Oh, my God.
What are you doing to me?
You can't play this song.
Don't tell me
you don't like this song.
Turn it off.
Really?
Turn it off.
All right.
Don't move out.
Please.
Take the keys.
No, I don't
need the keys.
I have another copy of them.
You can keep them.
After two years,
you know what I know about you?
I know two things
about you:
You take steroids
for dust mites.
It's for my allergies.
And you grind your teeth
when you sleep.
That's why
you get headaches.
That is-
that is not-
that's not true.
You know me. That's not true.
I've told you tons of stuff.
Nat called.
I told you-
He said he's your father.
He's pretty chatty for a dead man.
I- I never said he was dead.
Yes, you did.
Well, he's dead to me, so...
Your name's not even Flynn.
Yes, it is.
All right,
Flynn's my last name.
Hey, hey.
Maggie, I don't know
what kind of stupid stories
he's been telling you,
but whatever it is,
it's got nothing to do with us.
It's him.
He's toxic.
What did he want?
right, collect?
I bet he was
reaI charming too.
That's how he works.
He pulls you in.
He makes you
feeI sorry for him.
And before you know it,
he's in your pocket.
Don't talk about him like that.
What?
He called to say
he was dying, Richie.
He isn't dying,
and don't call me Richie.
Why would he say he's dying
if he isn't dying?
Because it's the only card
he has left to play.
You don't understand.
He isn't dying.
He's Iying.
Like father,
like son.
I'll take the boat.
Flynn.
It's good to see you.
So welcome to my casbah.
Here.
You like boats.
Yes?
No.
Of course,
