I think Nick would have told you

if he got shot.

Well, I don't know!

He didn't tell me about Stan!

That's not funny, man.

I just want you to know

I'm carrying.

And I've never had to use mine,

but I feel better

having it on me.

So, you know, whatever you want.

Come on.

Let's go. Let's go.

So, shouldn't I get

a bullet-proof vest?

Yeah,

that's probably a good idea.

Well, then

shouldn't you get one, too?

No, why? I already have one.

So, who's this client

we're gonna go see?

Check out that folder.

So, what, we just...

We go over there, drop off

the pictures, that's it?

Yeah, then we start looking

for the action stars.

They're in there. You'll see.

I don't recognize this guy

at all.

Tomas de la Cruz is actually

a popular action star

from a small town in Peru.

He made some cheesy action films

and now he's got

himself a little cult following.

What do you mean "cheesy"

action films?

Cut!

- What the hell?

- What's wrong?

Somebody got the boom

in the shot.

Somebody got in my shot.

Who?

Jesus Christ.

Well,

I'm not doing all that again,

so you guys better just cut

that up and take it from, uh,

this guy's fall.

Uh, he's, uh, not conscious.

What?

This is not the fake piece

of wood.

Why would there be any real

pieces of wood anywhere near me

during this part of the fight?

And what is the purpose,

if I may ask,

of all this powder?

I told you

there's too much powder.

- Told me?

- Yeah. Yeah, you.

Why is that my responsibility?

- Have him do it.

- Hey, hold up.

Hold up. What? I could do it.

Wow. All right, you know what?

He can do it, okay?

I'm gonna go take a break.

You guys figure it out.

Let me know when you need me.

And get this guy some medical

attention or something.

Jesus.

Tomas.

Manny, just tell Carl

that I'm getting paid

enough for this masterpiece

I'm working on now.

Yeah, okay.

Who's this?

What?

That's just...

That's just his fan that came up

to me and wanted an autograph.

Yeah.

Yeah, sure he is. Come on.

You know I'm here to bring back

something of value.

All right.

I got some cash in the car,

all right? Just hang on.

Yeah, let me come with you.

Make sure your fans

don't get too hostile.

Tomas's Beatdown

put Carl's right-hand-man

- in the hospital.

- Damn.

Carl's not a guy

you want to be making bets with.

I mean, he's closer to a mob

boss than he is to a bookie.

So, why is Tomas up here

if he's an action star

down in Peru?

He thought he could break

into the industry up here.

Since he couldn't catch

a good break,

he started betting on a few

things to make some money back,

but the losses started

racking up pretty quickly.

So, what, we... we find him,
