Here, here, here. Sh*t!

I want you to keep

pressure on it, okay?

Like this.

Now, listen to me.

I want you to

go to the clinic

down the road.

Okay.

All right? They'll

take care of you.

They will not

deport you.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Now go.

And fast!

He's gonna lose

that finger!

God damn it!

I just said unhitch me.

We're staying here.

(BANGING ON CAGE)

(TIGER GROWLING)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

JOHNNY:
Get this place

boarded up!

(MAN SHOUTING INSTRUCTIONS

IN SPANISH)

(SCREWDRIVER WHIRRING)

Johnny!

Where are you?

What is this?

Johnny?

Where did the freezer

come from, huh?

(TIGER GROWLING)

(BANGING ON CAGE)

Hey!

What the hell are you doing?

That's a carnivore in there.

(MIMICKING TIGER)

You understand?

Now, go back

in the house

where it's safe.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Out here, not safe.

In the house, safe.

Now, go on. Run.

Hey! Where's my money?

What money?

My bank account.

You closed it.

Wait a second.

That's not your money.

Of course it is.

I went to the bank,

I asked if there were

any other accounts,

they said just one,

co-signed by your mother,

so I took it out...

So, you stole it.

You doing drugs?

What?

Because drugs will damage

both the hippocampus

and the amygdala

portions of the brain.

That's where we

process memory.

Your memory's

a little foggy here.

I have to remind you

that your mom

didn't leave a will.

She did.

Hey.

She wanted me to

take care of Tom.

That's what she said.

Written on

a Post-it note.

Wasn't a Post-it note.

She wrote her wishes

for the future of you

and your brother

on a note.

Nobody's happy

your mom swallowed

a bottle of pills.

I also have

to point out,

in the absence of

any other information,

the money, this house,

goes to me.

Now, I don't know,

if she'd have

wanted it any different,

she might have

written another Post-it.

Just don't do that.

Don't talk about her.

(KELLY SIGHING)

Look, I don't care

what you bought.

I need what's left.

(CLEARING THROAT)

That's gonna be

a problem.

What?

I don't have it.

How? How could you

not have it?

You just got it out

yesterday, right?

I bought a tiger.

(SCOFFS) You're crazy.

People are gonna

pay to stay here,

they want the real deal.

A Bengal tiger

is the real deal.

That money was for Tom,

for his care,

so that I could know

that he was all right.

Kelly, you don't have to

put your plans aside

to help your brother.

Just leave Tom with me.

(SCREWDRIVER WHIRRING)

(DOOR OPENS)

JOHNNY:
Damn it, Jose!

I said use the big screw!

Eat.

It's 5:
30.

Want eat.

Right.

No!

No, no, no, no, no!

Look. Okay? There.

Okay, let's go.

Come on.

So, what are we

gonna watch today?
