[Patoff] Unfortunately, Mr. Sang cannot be with us today.
[in Korean] He was taken by the devil.
[Elaine] Have you ever heard of Viktor Kulzer?
Hilltech Industries?
He signed the same contract as Sang,
and he was found decapitated two weeks later.
That's your personnel file. I came by it in the records room.
- We have a records room? - Of course.
Every company I ever consulted at has a records room.
- Where do they go? - They just fall to the bottom.
What do you want to find when you stop falling?
He wants to make it! In two years,
Sang never took a single pitch I gave him.
- And then Patoff shows up... - He killed Mama Sang!
Wait, what?
[keys clacking]
[glass breaking sound effect]
God!
It... it was the parrot this time!
He loves it.
According to the flight manifest,
Mama Sang flew back to Seoul that night.
I'm sure he just filled a suitcase filled with money
and sent her on the first flight home.
- That's what I woulda done. - Where?
In your fantasy world
where you're suddenly running the company?
Hey. Show some respect. I'm a creator now.
Look at him. He can't get enough of it.
Well, your new biggest fan fired 23 people in the first week,
15 more people quit in protest.
Yikes. Well, who did we really lose? You know?
Ginger Pete, and Skinny Lips in art, I'm gonna miss them a lot,
but the rest of 'em, I didn't even really know 'em.
See you Monday.
Not if I find something better.
Well, today you're mopping floors,
next week, you're on fries.
- Goodnight, Mr. Patoff. - Craig?
- You're leaving? - Oh, it's Friday,
so everybody's just about to head out for the weekend.
- You have arrangements? - Nothing special.
My fiancée's got a work thing, so I was just gonna go
down the road and grab a beer,
- kill an hour or two. - A beer?

Do you want to come?
I'll need ten minutes to prepare.

I thought you left already.
He invited himself to Chimpers with me.
Friday night drinks with the boss?
Do you know what you're getting yourself into?
I'm just playing nice while he makes my game.
- Will you come with us? - I can't. I've got a date.
- No, you don't. - Yes, I do.
He's picking me up after he finishes work.
What? Who is he? What does he do?
- What are you, my dad? - I'm ready.
Craig?
Ah, it's just one drink. Have a good date.

[rock music playing in background]
So, how are you enjoying the gaming industry, Mr. Patoff?
How many of these patrons
do you think we could realistically fight?
Excuse me?
In a brawl. Five?
- Um... - Six?
I don't know.
I've only been in one bar fight, and that didn't go my way.
One on one, or were you outnumbered?
It was actually just two hits. Him hitting me, and then me...
[imitates thudding] ...hitting the floor.
He hurt you?
It was pretty bad, actually. My jaw was all...
They had to get it all wired up.
May I inquire as to the reason of this fight?
I was young and I thought that I was invincible.
Until the bigger guy took a moment out of his day
to remind me that I'm not.
I think I could fight four of them.
And with the element of surprise,
you could subdue the remaining three.
But this is just guy talk, right?
We're not actually thinking of getting into a bar fight?
[laughing]
- Forgive me, Craig. - I thought...
Mental puzzles.
I'm always running scenarios in my head.
- [laughing] - All right.
Well, maybe you should drink more of your beer
slow that hamster wheel down a little bit, right?
- Yes, let's enjoy our beers. - [chuckling]
You mentioned a relationship earlier.
Yeah, Patti, my fiancée.
We're actually gonna make it official in September.
We're going to have a wedding with about 100, 150 guests.
How about you, you have any-- you have a family, or...
Church wedding?
Yeah, that's kind of an issue right now,
'cause Patti's Catholic and I'm not.
I'm really more, Church of Nintendo, you know?
But in order to be at one of the venues of her choice,
I'm gonna have to convert to Catholicism,
which is a whole procedure, and, you know.
You... you would consider this, for the Catholic?
For Patti? Yeah.
I mean, it's just a couple months of brainwashing.
- I think it'll be fine. - [door opening]
Now it gets interesting.
[Craig] You know what? I actually...
- I have to go. - It's over already, our beer?
Yeah, Patti, she... she... I don't know if she has the keys
and I'm worried about leaving her alone in this neighborhood.
The woman who insists you adopt a faith you don't believe in
also expects you to open the door for her?
It's better than getting in a bar fight.
[laughing]
I knew we would have good banter, Craig.
Now, let's finish these and move on to the next place.
The next place? I actually have so much work this weekend,
I think I better be heading out.
You were generous enough to bring me here for a drink.
Now let me take you somewhere in return.

Milani.
This is my dear friend, Craig.
Hey, Milani. I'm Craig.
He's engaged to be married.
He's abandoning his beliefs for her.
To be fair, I never really had any to begin with.
Where did you meet her, Craig?
At work? Most relationships start at work, don't they?
Ah. It's actually not a great story.
I was getting something removed and she was the attending nurse.
What did she take off?
A benign, fatty lump.
It was behind my left shoulder.
It was about the size of a golf ball.
How romantic.
Carry a little piece of the one you love, everywhere you go.
I don't know that she kept it, but...
Um, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
I'll let you two catch up.
Uh, three more on your return.
Sounds good.

- [Elaine] Hey. How was it? - Artificial limbs in Moscow.
What was that company you were talking about?
[Elaine] Hilltech. Patoff had a contract with their CEO,
Right before Sang signed his deal.
Yeah, well, I think he may have shipped
some of their merchandise over with him.
There's this woman here, um... Melanie or Malorie...
Fuck! I can't remember what her name was, but I'm gonna ask her.
Wait, wait, slow down. Where are you?
I don't know. I'm...
It's very blue here, and beautiful.
I mean, everyone here is so beautiful, like,
nines and above. And the coat guy!
- Are you drinking? - A little bit.
I had one beer and one sip of blue, okay? Sue me.
Anyway, she knows him, this Melody... Fuck.
That's not her name either. What was her fuckin' name?
- What's she like? - I wanna say,
ventriloquist dummy, but I probably shouldn't.
I'm gonna flirt with her and see what I can find out...
Okay, love you too.

Unfortunately, I'll have to leave you for a while, Craig.

Mr. Patoff, sir, I'm not comfortable with anything

To be fair, Craig, the fault's not entirely with me,

I don't have a history of panic attacks.

Sang? Sang is dead.
Then revenge would surely be in his interest. No?
He didn't know what he was doing.
You can't hold a child responsible

You need to confront these fears.

addicts always do.
But now, as a direct result of your actions,
Milani is alone on the streets of Long Beach,
looking for drugs.
