| [00:11] | [Ron] Now, the story of a wealthy family | |
| [00:13] | who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice | |
| [00:16] | but to keep them all together. | |
| [00:18] | [theme song playing] | |
| [00:24] | It’s Arrested Development. | |
| [00:28] | – [film reel clicking] – [player beeps] | |
| [00:33] | [Lucille] Gotta avoid the sun. | |
| [00:35] | Right there. | |
| [00:38] | Sorry, Gob. Looks like there isn’t gonna be enough for you. | |
| [00:42] | I never should have done Lindsay first. | |
| [00:44] | Lindsay’s having a widening spurt. | |
| [00:46] | Please, I don’t need any suntan lotion. Dad never wears any. | |
| [00:49] | Yeah. And he’s doing fine in the lady department. | |
| [00:52] | – [Lucille chuckles] Oh. – [George Sr.] Well, Buster doesn’t know | |
| [00:55] | what the hell he’s talking about! | |
| [00:59] | I think Buster was actually talking about Mom. | |
| [01:06] | Oh, yes. No, uh… I thought… | |
| [01:09] | you were talking about recent… Yes, thank you. | |
| [01:12] | Yes, she is, uh… She is quite the beauty. | |
| [01:17] | You kids have a lot of competition | |
| [01:19] | for this year’s family pageant. | |
| [01:22] | Who is going to be… | |
| [01:25] | Mr. and Mrs. Bluth 1982? | |
| [01:28] | [Lucille laughs] Oh! | |
| [01:32] | [Lindsay sighs] | |
| [01:33] | It’s always you guys. | |
| [01:34] | – [chuckles] – [Lindsay] We don’t have a chance. | |
| [01:38] | Well, that’s the downside of having a mother who never ages. | |
| [01:43] | It must be something in these cigarettes. | |
| [01:46] | It doesn’t hurt that you guys are the judges. | |
| [01:49] | – They are? – You guys are the judges? | |
| [01:55] | I knew this day would come. | |
| [01:57] | – Maybe it is time. – [sighs] | |
| [01:59] | Yeah. Yeah, yeah, okay, uh… | |
| [02:01] | Kids, your mother and I have discussed it, | |
| [02:04] | and you’re all old enough now to actually impress us, | |
| [02:08] | so… | |
| [02:13] | …we’re out of the running. | |
| [02:14] | [Lucille] But that means you need to step up your efforts | |
| [02:17] | in the talent portion. | |
| [02:19] | I already know what I’m doing. | |
| [02:20] | And it can’t just be push-ups. | |
| [02:22] | [stammering] Yeah, it won’t just be push-ups. | |
| [02:27] | [Lucille] So, good luck, everyone, in the pageant. | |
| [02:29] | I’m sure you’ll all be thin by Thursday, Lindsay. | |
| [02:31] | – [George Sr.] Out you go. – Although, not so fast. | |
| [02:34] | You have to wait until your brother Buster’s hooked up. | |
| [02:38] | Oh, come on. He still has to wear that dog collar? | |
| [02:40] | It’s not a dog collar. | |
| [02:42] | – It’s Buster’s Gentleman Collar. – Gentleman Collar. | |
| [02:45] | And he barely even knows it’s there. | |
| [02:46] | [Buster] Yeah, I barely know it’s… | |
| [02:48] | – [grunts] – [chuckles] | |
| [02:51] | Well, he’s grown a little. | |
| [02:53] | [Michael] Hey, wait. You’re in your suits already? | |
| [02:55] | I thought you were gonna wait for me before you went swimming. | |
| [03:00] | It’s not my fault you’re so greedy for a paycheck. | |
| [03:02] | I was covering your shift. | |
| [03:05] | – Oh, yeah. Pay up. – [Michael] Too late. | |
| [03:08] | I already spent your pay on this. | |
| [03:14] | [music swells] | |
| [03:20] | You bought me a dorky, lame, stupid, | |
| [03:23] | gay magic kit? | |
| [03:24] | What? No. This is for me. | |
| [03:27] | I got it for the Mr. Bluth Talent Pageant. | |
| [03:29] | This is gonna be my talent. | |
| [03:33] | Does it come with that bird? | |
| [03:35] | No, I gotta get a bird. But I’ll get a bird. | |
| [03:37] | [Buster] Can I see? [grunts] Almost there… | |
| [03:40] | [Michael] Didn’t Buster used to get past the window? | |
| [03:43] | [Gob] Mom tightened it when he tried to put | |
| [03:45] | that starfish in his mouth. | |
| [03:47] | Yeah, but he’s had a good summer. He’s made friends. | |
| [03:51] | Actually, Mother made the friend for me. | |
| [03:53] | So I named it after her: Lucille Ball. | |
| [03:58] | Is anybody else worried she’s ruining us? | |
| [04:05] | [Buster] Take that back! You take that back! | |
| [04:07] | – We’re normal! We’re normal! – [Gob] Okay. Down, down. | |
| [04:10] | – [Michael] Easy, Buster. Easy, boy. – [Lindsay] Sit. | |
| [04:14] | Okay, well, you guys wait for me. | |
| [04:16] | I’m gonna go change into my suit. | |
| [04:17] | I would say wait for me, but it might be a couple of years. | |
| [04:22] | Hey, uh, Michael… | |
| [04:24] | [sighs] I think Buster wants to go take a swim. | |
| [04:29] | [Buster] I do! | |
| [04:31] | I’ve never even got my suit wet from the outside. | |
| [04:33] | And I’m looking to turn that around, buddy. | |
| [04:35] | [Michael] If you’re talking about Buster going into the ocean, | |
| [04:37] | that is a terrible idea. | |
| [04:39] | Besides, Mom puts that stupid collar on him | |
| [04:42] | every time he puts on his bathing suit. | |
| [04:44] | No. Not every time. | |
| [04:46] | He doesn’t wear it during the swimsuit competition | |
| [04:48] | of the Mr. Bluth Pageant. | |
| [04:50] | Sit. | |
| [04:51] | By the way, guess who it turns out the judges really are? | |
| [04:55] | It’s not Mom and Dad? | |
| [04:58] | Magic is for girls. | |
| [05:00] | And your bird’s gonna die, Michael. | |
| [05:03] | And when it does, it’ll go back to… whence it came. | |
| [05:08] | [sighs] | |
| [05:10] | Back to whence it came. | |
| [05:14] | [film reel clicking] | |
| [05:17] | [player beeps] | |
| [05:18] | [Ron] The Bluths were waiting for information | |
| [05:20] | from Michael and their attorney | |
| [05:22] | after having made the news again. | |
| [05:25] | [John] Viewers, it was the graphic scene | |
| [05:27] | behind the graphics that caught the attention | |
| [05:29] | of a sharp-eyed viewer who saw something and said something. | |
| [05:33] | On the top of a stair car the police are calling | |
| [05:36] | a “vehicle of interest,” an alleged man, now identified | |
| [05:39] | as Byron Buster Bluth, | |
| [05:40] | can be seen dropping a large person-type thing | |
| [05:43] | into the water below. | |
| [05:45] | Police think this may be a clue to the disappearance | |
| [05:47] | of Lucille Austero, with whom the suspect had a long and rocky relationship. | |
| [05:52] | Mr. Bluth was arrested last night in an elevator in Newport. | |
| [05:56] | It seems the Bluth Family… | |
| [05:57] | [Ron] And the family found themselves | |
| [05:59] | in the last place they ever expected to be: | |
| [06:02] | a police station. | |
| [06:03] | I never seem to get an end seat. | |
| [06:05] | This is what happens when you’re richand white in America. | |
| [06:08] | You happen to be caught on video, | |
| [06:10] | dumping some large person-type thing into the bay, | |
| [06:14] | and nobody thinks, “I wonder how long | |
| [06:16] | that guy has been working for the real killer?” | |
| [06:18] | Yeah, and they jumped right to “He’s the killer,” | |
| [06:21] | and then don’t think to add: | |
| [06:22] | “but it’s nice he’s giving the help the night off.” | |
| [06:25] | No, they’re jealous. They are jealous. | |
| [06:28] | And they won’t stop until one of us is a murderer. | |
| [06:31] | Today, it’s Buster. | |
| [06:33] | Tomorrow… No, I guess it’ll stop today. | |
| [06:35] | – Today’s the last day. – [George Sr.] Come on. | |
| [06:37] | Let’s all get on the same side here. | |
| [06:39] | We need to be all together on this. | |
| [06:40] | Yeah, I… I think that’s a wonderful idea. | |
| [06:43] | And really, we’re just asking this Asian gentleman | |
| [06:46] | and his wife…? | |
| [06:48] | To move over to that group of chairs there, | |
| [06:51] | freeing up the end seat, | |
| [06:52] | which I would love to take a shot at sitting in. | |
| [06:54] | [Michael] Okay, it is not great news. | |
| [06:57] | [Tobias] Sorry. | |
| [06:58] | To finish the thought, | |
| [07:00] | that would free up this whole area of seats for us. | |
| [07:02] | From the “If You See Something, Say Something” poster | |
| [07:04] | – to the payphone. – Tobias, please. | |
| [07:07] | – What did you find out? – My friend spoke to the DA’s office, | |
| [07:10] | and my lawyers were able to reduce my sentence | |
| [07:13] | to time served. Bad news? | |
| [07:15] | I can’t spend any time with anybody under 25. | |
| [07:18] | About Buster. | |
| [07:20] | And… they officially charged him with murder. First degree. | |
| [07:25] | – Mm… – [Lucille] First degree? | |
| [07:26] | – They don’t even have a body. – [Michael] Yes, | |
| [07:29] | but they have his fingerprints and her blood | |
| [07:31] | all over the stair car, which was supposed to be missing in Mexico. | |
| [07:33] | [Ron] In fact, it was a picture of the stair car | |
| [07:36] | at the border that dismantled the DA’s case | |
| [07:39] | by showing the missing victim along with Oscar… | |
| [07:42] | …alibi and what we… | |
| [07:43] | [Ron] …that Michael had used to get the DA | |
| [07:45] | to release Buster from jail in the first place. | |
| [07:48] | – We did. – [Ron] And even though the picture | |
| [07:50] | turned out to be just George Michael and Maeby | |
| [07:52] | dressing up as two of their heroes | |
| [07:54] | before abandoning the broken-down truck in Mexico, | |
| [07:58] | the forensic evidence on a stair car that served as the crime scene… | |
| [08:01] | Okay, evidence guy, we’re done. | |
| [08:03] | …of the conjectured murder was kept safely | |
| [08:06] | out of the country… | |
| [08:07] | Because you don’t know DropBox? That’s not my job. | |
| [08:09] | [Ron] …as was Oscar, who wasn’t with Lucille 2. | |
| [08:13] | Because that’s the evidence… | |
| [08:14] | [Ron] But who, after hearing news that Buster had been arrested, | |
| [08:17] | went to the vehicle he’d hidden away | |
| [08:20] | after finding it abandoned weeks earlier, | |
| [08:24] | before driving it back into the States | |
| [08:26] | – to pick up his son, Buster… – [whistling] | |
| [08:28] | …a man who would soon be implored by his magician brother | |
| [08:32] | to help him conceal the secrets | |
| [08:34] | – of a magic trick. – …body-shaped thing. | |
| [08:36] | – What is that? – [Ron] It was only after doing so | |
| [08:38] | that Oscar decided to be the latest Bluth | |
| [08:40] | to abandon a stair car, unfortunately doing so | |
| [08:43] | in a parking spot | |
| [08:45] | that had only recently been assigned | |
| [08:47] | to evidence supervisor Eddie Cantrow. | |
| [08:50] | – Evidence parking only. – [Ron] Who, before realizing | |
| [08:52] | that he was looking at damaging evidence against Buster, | |
| [08:56] | – reacted poorly… – [grunting] | |
| [08:59] | …damaging the evidence against Buster. | |
| [09:01] | – Son of a bitch! – [Ron] In fairness to him, | |
| [09:04] | it had taken him a super long time to get | |
| [09:06] | a decent parking spot that he didn’t have to walk, like, a mile from. | |
| [09:10] | [Michael] Unfortunately, someone tampered with the evidence. | |
| [09:13] | But, look, even without it, they still have the video | |
| [09:15] | of him dumping something in the bay that night. | |
| [09:18] | And… And did he say what it was that he dumped? | |
| [09:21] | Or who gave him whatever what it was that he dumped? | |
| [09:24] | Or where that guy, not the first guy but the second guy | |
| [09:27] | who gave him what he dumped, | |
| [09:29] | got… what it was that he dumped? | |
| [09:31] | [Barry chuckles] Not this time. | |
| [09:33] | No, we… we didn’t have him say anything. | |
| [09:36] | I said, “Don’t say a word. Put on your poker face.” | |
| [09:39] | [Ron] Although Buster’s poker face | |
| [09:41] | didn’t really make him look like less of a murderer. | |
| [09:45] | – [Barry] Poker face. – [laughs] | |
| [09:46] | [camera shutter clicks] | |
| [09:48] | [Lucille] How could this be happening? | |
| [09:50] | Buster couldn’t have done this. I raised him totally by the book. | |
| [09:53] | Mom, you had him on a leash until he was six. | |
| [09:55] | [Lucille] Well, if that leash screwed him up so badly, | |
| [09:58] | why does he still want to wear it? | |
| [09:59] | Guys, it’s not time to play the blame game, okay? | |
| [10:03] | Even though they do say, in most cases, | |
| [10:05] | something happens in childhood and, usually, the person | |
| [10:07] | that raises them is to blame. | |
| [10:09] | – But that’s experts. – [Lucille] I see. | |
| [10:11] | Don’t you try to pin this on Lupe. | |
| [10:13] | She had her own family to raise, too. | |
| [10:15] | [Michael] Boy, Mom brings up a very good point. | |
| [10:17] | No one should say anything publicly about this. | |
| [10:20] | – I should speak for the family. – [Tobias scoffs] | |
| [10:23] | – You? – [Michael] Mm-hmm. | |
| [10:24] | – Who said it should be you? – [Michael] Well, | |
| [10:26] | I’m in the family, and it’s gonna be crazy. | |
| [10:28] | It’s gonna be a media circus, Tobias. | |
| [10:30] | Then I should be its ringmaster. | |
| [10:32] | [Ron] In fact, Tobias would’ve taken any job at that moment, | |
| [10:36] | as his current living arrangement was tense, indeed. | |
| [10:40] | [instrumental version of “Thank You for Being a Friend” playing] | |
| [10:49] | [Ron] Something that is really only clear | |
| [10:51] | without the quick editing and carefree score. | |
| [10:55] | Who did that? Who did that? | |
| [10:57] | – I was trying to be funny. – [Tobias] Yeah? | |
| [10:58] | How ’bout I put your head through this glass table? | |
| [11:01] | How funny would that be, young man? | |
| [11:02] | Oh, try it, Dad! | |
| [11:03] | I would so [bleep] love that! | |
| [11:05] | – I did not raise you to say the F-word! – Everybody’s tired! | |
| [11:07] | We’ve all had too much pain medication. | |
| [11:10] | [Maeby] There were six. There were six in here. | |
| [11:12] | Who the [bleep] took ’em? | |
| [11:14] | – Why would you take these? – I didn’t take ’em! | |
| [11:16] | – How dare you, young lady! – Hey, stop yelling! | |
| [11:18] | – I hate it when you guys fight! – I’ve had enough of all | |
| [11:20] | – of you guys. Hey. – I’ve had enough of you. | |
| [11:22] | – I’ll break her neck. – [Ron] Let’s get that music back on. | |
| [11:25] | [“Thank You for Being a Friend” continues playing] | |
| [11:29] | As you see, it’s latex, so it can go right up your ass. | |
| [11:33] | [Tobias] Someone from this family needs | |
| [11:35] | to speak for Buster. | |
| [11:37] | Who is Buster Bluth? | |
| [11:40] | A young, one-armed, | |
| [11:41] | Iraq War vet suffering from PTSD, | |
| [11:45] | raised by a young mother who had him at 17, | |
| [11:48] | whose only flaw was that… | |
| [11:50] | she loved him… too much. | |
| [11:53] | Actually, I was 37. | |
| [11:55] | Well, no one would believe that. | |
| [11:57] | – You’re hired. – [Michael] No, you’re not. Mom, | |
| [12:00] | – I’ll handle this. – [Lucille] Oh, Michael, | |
| [12:02] | let’s be honest. Every time you handle things, they’re mishandled. | |
| [12:05] | Yeah, your mom’s right. I mean, lately, | |
| [12:08] | you’re just doing everything badly. | |
| [12:09] | – Yeah, Dad, nail his ass. – [Tobias chuckles] I’ll pile on | |
| [12:12] | to nailing that ass, Dad. | |
| [12:14] | S… So, now that we’ve gotten | |
| [12:16] | Tobias completely ruled out as ringmaster, | |
| [12:19] | maybe we can talk about Buster and maybe getting him a lawyer. | |
| [12:23] | Oh! I should have led with this. | |
| [12:25] | I have been officially disbarred. | |
| [12:26] | I can’t handle Buster’s case | |
| [12:28] | or anybody under 25. | |
| [12:31] | Saves me an awkward conversation. | |
| [12:33] | I think we need to get Buster the best criminal lawyer available. | |
| [12:36] | – Looking for the best? – Yeah. | |
| [12:37] | Well, if you’re looking for the best, there is only one group to go to. | |
| [12:41] | They’re called the Guilty Guys. | |
| [12:43] | [Ron] In fact, they were five of the most prestigious attorneys | |
| [12:46] | in Orange County. | |
| [12:47] | There was Anita Bramwell, | |
| [12:49] | a researcher as tough as a prosecutor, | |
| [12:51] | whose photographic memory was the perfect complement | |
| [12:54] | to her photogenic good looks. | |
| [12:56] | When it came to writing briefs, Garrison “Harvard” Sweet | |
| [12:59] | was as elegant on the page | |
| [13:01] | as he was clumsy on the dance floor. | |
| [13:03] | But in both cases, he wasn’t afraid | |
| [13:05] | to step on a few toes. | |
| [13:06] | Trained by the FBI in forensics, | |
| [13:08] | Shara Winfield not only knew the science of law, | |
| [13:11] | but the laws of science. | |
| [13:13] | She was an expert who wasn’t afraid to get a little DNA on her. | |
| [13:17] | With a state supreme court justice as a father, | |
| [13:20] | Jack Griffin had more to prove | |
| [13:22] | than most upper-tier Dartmouth law students. | |
| [13:24] | He wasn’t too proud to take money | |
| [13:25] | and a country club membership from his parents. | |
| [13:28] | But he made it to the top of the list | |
| [13:29] | by being just that good. | |
| [13:31] | And hailing from the mean streets of Oakland | |
| [13:33] | comes a lawyer raised by a single mother | |
| [13:36] | who taught him the meaning of justice, Jesus, | |
| [13:38] | and when to not follow the rules. | |
| [13:40] | David G. “G-Man” Barnes cared about | |
| [13:44] | but one thing above the law: | |
| [13:46] | his beloved Raiders. | |
| [13:47] | These five professionals | |
| [13:49] | had a perfect record defending real criminals | |
| [13:52] | who’d done real crimes. | |
| [13:54] | Together, they were known as the Guilty Guys. | |
| [13:58] | And I think I might have gotten Jack and David mixed up. | |
| [14:01] | [Barry] Very expensive | |
| [14:02] | but very, very good, | |
| [14:03] | especially if you’re guilty. | |
| [14:06] | He’s not guilty. | |
| [14:08] | – Then I would go with the cheaper option. – [Lucille] Unacceptable. | |
| [14:11] | We want the best. | |
| [14:12] | Well, how are we gonna pay for that? We don’t have any money. | |
| [14:15] | It’s all tied up in Fakeblock. Thanks, Michael. | |
| [14:18] | “Thanks, Michael”? How ’bout a little thanks | |
| [14:21] | to the guy who drove the stock price up | |
| [14:23] | and ended up screwing over those other guys? | |
| [14:26] | Who ended up being us. Thanks, Michael. | |
| [14:28] | – Fakeblock’s got nothing to do with this. – Thanks, Michael. | |
| [14:31] | That’s right. Because when we sell Fakeblock, | |
| [14:34] | we give the money right back to the Chinese | |
| [14:36] | before they get angrier. | |
| [14:38] | Angrier? | |
| [14:39] | I didn’t tell you, but they left a message | |
| [14:42] | saying that they hope their gift was enough to… | |
| [14:45] | “get us back on our feet.” | |
| [14:47] | They’re… They’re threatening our feet? | |
| [14:50] | [traditional Chinese music plays] | |
| [14:52] | You don’t think these Chinese would first try to, I don’t know, | |
| [14:54] | – ding your credit rating? – [Lucille] It’s their culture. | |
| [14:57] | Dusty was right. I will say this for Saddam Hussein. | |
| [15:01] | With him, you didn’t have to guess. It was very direct. | |
| [15:03] | “I’ll chop this off, I’ll chop that off.” | |
| [15:05] | Right. With him, you knew where you stood. | |
| [15:08] | Or… Or couldn’t. | |
| [15:09] | [Lucille] Well, the Chinese clearly know we spent the money. | |
| [15:11] | We’re gonna have to sell Fakeblock, so we can find a way to build the wall. | |
| [15:15] | Guys, we… we’re not selling Fakeblock, okay? | |
| [15:17] | We’re gonna be able to find the money to pay for these great lawyers, all right? | |
| [15:20] | I’ve already identified a couple of assets that we can part with. | |
| [15:23] | Yeah, anything, Michael. | |
| [15:24] | We should sell the beach house. | |
| [15:31] | This is why we never told you about the beach house, Michael. | |
| [15:35] | [Gob] Uh, can I add something? | |
| [15:37] | This is why we never told you about the [bleep] beach house. | |
| [15:40] | Let’s roll. | |
| [15:45] | [Ron] Days later, Michael was back at the office, | |
| [15:47] | trying to get a sense of how soon Fakeblock would be turning a profit. | |
| [15:51] | Sorry, stranger, I only have time for future billionaires. | |
| [15:55] | Oh, it’s you. | |
| [15:56] | – Bingo. – [George Michael] Uh, this… | |
| [15:58] | this was delivered to our office by mistake. | |
| [16:00] | But it says “Bluth Company,” so I thought I’d bring it. | |
| [16:02] | Mailman mistake, huh? | |
| [16:04] | Hard to believe we have those in this analog world. | |
| [16:06] | Hey, speaking of that, how’s it going down there? | |
| [16:08] | – It’s good. Yeah. – Yeah? | |
| [16:10] | Gob has been on lunch… most of today. | |
| [16:13] | – Most of the week… – Huh. | |
| [16:14] | – …actually… – Yeah, listen, | |
| [16:15] | Gob only cares about himself. | |
| [16:17] | But I’m glad to get you up here, because, | |
| [16:19] | as I say, we need that software. | |
| [16:21] | I mean, no pressure, but the lawyers are charging a lot of money | |
| [16:24] | down there. | |
| [16:25] | – Oh, did you hire them? – Oh, yeah. | |
| [16:28] | [Ron] And the billable hours were coming in, | |
| [16:30] | as the Guilty Guys were finishing their first week | |
| [16:32] | – of leaving no stone unturned. – [Jack] So there’s no doubt in your mind? | |
| [16:36] | None whatsoever. | |
| [16:37] | There’s no way the killer was Ann Veal. No match. | |
| [16:40] | – That’s right. – [Shara] DNA don’t lie. | |
| [16:42] | Take her off the board. | |
| [16:43] | – [Anita] Got it. – [Jack] Run those files | |
| [16:45] | and our billing for it over to the Bluth Company and pronto. | |
| [16:50] | [Michael] I mean, Jesus Christ, $7,000 to find out | |
| [16:52] | that Ann Veal had nothing to do with Buster’s case? | |
| [16:55] | Frankly, I’d ask you to bring your rich girlfriend on | |
| [16:57] | as a business associate, but I respect your space. | |
| [17:00] | Unless maybe… | |
| [17:02] | we give it a shot? | |
| [17:03] | Ship sailed on that or…? | |
| [17:06] | It’s… It’s difficult, actually, | |
| [17:08] | because I’m trying to figure out | |
| [17:09] | whether her father can even be trusted. | |
| [17:12] | It’s difficult for me to find that balance… | |
| [17:13] | [Ron] Oh, that’s not why he can’t ask her. | |
| [17:16] | I wasn’t even going to put this in, but here’s why. | |
| [17:18] | You sold the company? | |
| [17:21] | – A little. – You can’t sell a company a little. | |
| [17:23] | That’s like saying you’re a little bit tired. | |
| [17:25] | You don’t think you can be a little bit tired? | |
| [17:28] | My dad was gonna invest in your company. | |
| [17:30] | I was gonna invest in your company. | |
| [17:31] | Then, suddenly, you go behind my back and have sold it. | |
| [17:34] | – You clearly don’t trust me. – I do trust you. | |
| [17:37] | I just didn’t want Fakeblock to get in the way of our relationship. | |
| [17:40] | Well, now it’s not gonna get in the way of anything. | |
| [17:42] | [George Michael] Anything? I mean, so… | |
| [17:45] | it’s over now? | |
| [17:46] | [clicks tongue] A little. | |
| [17:48] | [Ron] But not wanting to make his father feel guilty, | |
| [17:51] | George Michael kept this to himself. | |
| [17:53] | [Michael] I’m trying to get a timeline on when profits | |
| [17:55] | from the Fakeblock business and so forth start up. | |
| [17:57] | But I do respect your space. | |
| [17:59] | [George Michael] I hope I haven’t put the family | |
| [18:01] | – in a bind. – Well, the family is the other issue. | |
| [18:04] | Your grandparents promised to build that crazy… | |
| [18:06] | border wall to some… | |
| [18:08] | Oh. Chinese. | |
| [18:11] | Now they’re worrying that the Chinese are gonna be upset | |
| [18:13] | and say… Oh. “You will pay.” | |
| [18:18] | Huh. | |
| [18:19] | Anyway, I said, “We’re not selling Fakeblock, | |
| [18:21] | ’cause, I promise you, it’ll make plenty of money.” | |
| [18:24] | Well, you know, I’d… be careful of promising even a little. | |
| [18:27] | You know, some people, you give them an inch, and they take… | |
| [18:31] | [Michael] A foot. | |
| [18:34] | [echoing] They’re threatening our feet? | |
| [18:36] | [traditional Chinese music plays] | |
| [18:37] | [George Michael] Is it a foot now? They shortened it. | |
| [18:40] | Well, what I’m saying is, finishing the software | |
| [18:42] | is definitely possible. And I’m not saying I botched it, | |
| [18:45] | but… | |
| [18:46] | What if it’s botched? | |
| [18:47] | [Ron] As George Michael readied himself | |
| [18:50] | to finally tell his father the truth about Fakeblock… | |
| [18:53] | I don’t want to talk about it, okay? | |
| [18:56] | What? | |
| [18:57] | Why don’t you go back downstairs and get to work on that software floor? | |
| [19:02] | Shut the door on the way out. | |
| [19:04] | Thank you. | |
| [19:05] | Just no rush on the software, but just… ASAP. | |
| [19:08] | Chop, chop. | |
| [19:10] | Well, not “chop, chop,” not… That’s a bad choice of words. | |
| [19:12] | For Christ’s sake. | |
| [19:14] | ♪ Sugarfoot ♪ | |
| [19:18] | [Ron] Two days later, | |
| [19:19] | Michael, after gathering news crews to Sudden Valley, | |
| [19:22] | prepared to make a hastily thrown together announcement. | |
| [19:25] | I think you’re doing the right thing. We want | |
| [19:27] | to make the Chinese happy. Believe me, you don’t want them | |
| [19:29] | sending your severed foot to threaten some other guy | |
| [19:32] | who doesn’t want to build a bridge. | |
| [19:34] | Yeah, I just… I can’t have my son in any danger. | |
| [19:37] | That’s why I said you should fire him. | |
| [19:39] | That’s what I’d do if it were one of my kids. | |
| [19:41] | Did you want me to fire him for you? | |
| [19:43] | [Michael] No. That’s nice of you. | |
| [19:44] | I mean, it’s not… [chuckles] It’s not nice. Sorry. | |
| [19:46] | It’s quick. Very, very quick of you to offer, | |
| [19:49] | but George Michael and I are finally close again, and, uh, | |
| [19:52] | I didn’t inherit your love of firing family. | |
| [19:55] | – And certainly not him. – [George Sr.] I know it’s not family, | |
| [19:58] | but maybe | |
| [19:59] | – you’ll do a big layoff around Christmas. – [Lucille] God. | |
| [20:01] | Are we already talking about Christmas layoffs? | |
| [20:05] | Guys, building the wall’s the only way. | |
| [20:07] | We took money from the Chinese investors. I… I can’t sell my son’s company | |
| [20:11] | to make good on a loan, but I think that I have come up with a… work-around | |
| [20:15] | – to pay them back. – So sorry to interrupt. | |
| [20:16] | – Hi. – They’re ready. | |
| [20:18] | I finished writing your speech about the wall. Question. | |
| [20:20] | Do you need an opening parable? | |
| [20:21] | It’s hard to find one where the wall builder isn’t, | |
| [20:24] | you know, starved to death by his own wall, | |
| [20:26] | or dies of loneliness by his own wall. | |
| [20:28] | Or, of course, is crushed to death by his own wall. | |
| [20:30] | Yeah. We don’t want to blow the ending anyway. | |
| [20:32] | Ah. Then you’ll hate the one about the honeybee. | |
| [20:35] | [Ron] And while Michael didn’t know if his announcement | |
| [20:37] | would make it all the way to China, it definitely made it | |
| [20:40] | as far as the model home. | |
| [20:41] | – Could those be… TV cameras? – [Michael] There you are. | |
| [20:44] | Hey, I want to thank everybody for coming out | |
| [20:47] | to the great Bluth Company border wall project. | |
| [20:51] | [Ron] Gob quickly made a call | |
| [20:52] | – to his former compliance officer. – [Adhir] Hello? | |
| [20:54] | Nine rings? | |
| [20:56] | Are you at Sudden Valley? | |
| [20:57] | Yes, uh, I believe you were told, | |
| [20:59] | although perhaps someone foolishly left a message for you at work. | |
| [21:03] | It’s a business event. | |
| [21:04] | – [Michael] Beautiful day. – The Bluth Company. | |
| [21:06] | [Gob] On TV? | |
| [21:07] | – Are you on TV? – [Adhir] A local channel | |
| [21:09] | is televising it, I believe. | |
| [21:11] | – Yes, there they are. – [applause on TV] | |
| [21:13] | – Okay. – [Michael] Absolutely great day. | |
| [21:15] | Walk to the camera, okay? | |
| [21:16] | – Walk to the camera quick, so I… – [Adhir] I don’t feel comfortable… | |
| [21:19] | I need you to comply and walk over to the camera! | |
| [21:22] | Wow, this is perfect. Michael plans | |
| [21:25] | a little “work event” during the weekmid. | |
| [21:27] | Right? That’s just… Look at me. | |
| [21:29] | – [Adhir] I can’t see you. – Comply! | |
| [21:31] | Look me in the eyes and tell me | |
| [21:33] | that Michael didn’t want me to know about this | |
| [21:35] | because I’m the president of Fakeblock. It’s why he planned it so early, isn’t it? | |
| [21:38] | [Adhir] Uh, Gob, really? | |
| [21:40] | In fairness, it is a Thursday at twenty to four. | |
| [21:42] | Exactly, and everyone knows | |
| [21:44] | the workday doesn’t start until nine to five. | |
| [21:46] | [Adhir sighs] Look, I need to get back to him. | |
| [21:49] | Michael’s going to announce the wall. | |
| [21:50] | Did he sell Fakeblock to build it? Does George Michael know? | |
| [21:53] | [Adhir] No, I believe he found a way around that. | |
| [21:55] | Well, I’m gonna tell him. | |
| [21:56] | [Adhir] It’s a groundbreaking. I wouldn’t be concerned. | |
| [21:59] | [laughing] A… a groundbreaking? | |
| [22:01] | A groundbreaking? [sobbing] Should… should… should… | |
| [22:04] | [Michael] Let history not judge us for the ideology, but rather… | |
| [22:07] | the quality of its workmanship, | |
| [22:09] | for we are just filling orders. | |
| [22:18] | [stammering] You want to… You… you… | |
| [22:20] | Should… should I? Should…? | |
| [22:22] | You want to see some…? | |
| [22:23] | You wanna see groundbreaking gay TV? | |
| [22:25] | Don’t start without me. | |
| [22:27] | – George Michael! – [Adhir] Okay, but we’ve started. | |
| [22:29] | – We’re in the middle of… Hello? – [Michael] In a modern world where there | |
| [22:32] | are certainly more threats greater | |
| [22:33] | than a 34-year-old hard-working migrant hoping | |
| [22:37] | to send money home to feed | |
| [22:39] | his wife and three young… | |
| [22:43] | future rapists. | |
| [22:48] | Of course, I’m talking about the threat of cyber. | |
| [22:50] | And that is why the Bluth Company | |
| [22:52] | acquired a new partner just for this project. | |
| [22:55] | Adhir. Thank you. | |
| [22:57] | – [crowd applauds] Wow! – Look at that. | |
| [22:59] | Okay? Introducing… | |
| [23:02] | Fakeblock. We’ve purchased this company | |
| [23:05] | solely in order to embed its privacy technology… | |
| [23:09] | – [George Michael] What the [bleep]?! – …into our state-of-the-art prototype | |
| [23:12] | wall project. | |
| [23:14] | We meant to do this, folks, so nobody was deceived. | |
| [23:17] | [chuckles] | |
| [23:21] | And that’s it. | |
| [23:24] | [Ron] And so, as Michael went | |
| [23:25] | to ceremonially break ground to prove that Fakeblock could build | |
| [23:29] | an indestructible wall… | |
| [23:31] | To the wall! | |
| [23:33] | May it bring us all… together. | |
| [23:35] | …Gob kind of made the opposite. | |
| [23:37] | [crowd exclaims] | |
| [23:44] | My name is Gob Bluth, and as president of Fakeblock, | |
| [23:48] | I have an announcement! | |
| [23:50] | I’m building a wall! | |
| [23:54] | Come back for the unveiling in two full weeks! | |
| [23:57] | [applause] | |
| [24:00] | – Wow, that was spectacular. – Couldn’t have gone better. | |
| [24:03] | [George Sr.] It’s great, Michael. I mean, it placates the Chinese, | |
| [24:06] | and as long as cash comes in from the software within the month… | |
| [24:09] | – Yeah. – …we’ll be able to pay | |
| [24:10] | the lawyers who are working on Buster’s murder charges. | |
| [24:14] | Come in close. | |
| [24:15] | [whispers] I think I’m winning your mother back. | |
| [24:17] | I’m gonna stick it to her tonight. | |
| [24:19] | We couldn’t be prouder, Michael. And in his dreams. | |
| [24:22] | – Right. – [Gob] Hey. Did you see that? | |
| [24:24] | Did you see what I did? Did you see that? | |
| [24:26] | Yeah, yeah. | |
| [24:30] | I had a shovel for you. | |
| [24:31] | No, it’s okay. I wanted to come in hot, make a show of it. | |
| [24:34] | God, did you see the look on their faces? | |
| [24:38] | [Michael] Just when you said two weeks to the unveiling. | |
| [24:40] | Right? | |
| [24:41] | And when you turned and went after them. | |
| [24:44] | [whispering] George Michael’s coming after you, by the way. | |
| [24:48] | – [George Michael] What was that? – Hi. | |
| [24:49] | Why would you bring my company into this? | |
| [24:51] | – [Michael] Yup. Listen. – Now we have a contract to fulfill? | |
| [24:53] | I know that I told you you’d have time to get the software all worked out, | |
| [24:57] | but it is looking like we’re gonna need it in a month. | |
| [25:00] | – A month? – Yeah, I was hopingto stall for six, | |
| [25:02] | but your uncle announced an unveiling in two weeks. | |
| [25:05] | The upside is, after this, we’re gonna be able to free up capital, | |
| [25:08] | get you some tech guys. | |
| [25:09] | I got some friends in mapping I can talk to | |
| [25:11] | – when they come up for air. – [George Michael] I can’t do this. | |
| [25:13] | – You can’t. – [Michael] Well… | |
| [25:14] | Tell them it’s off. Go up there | |
| [25:16] | – and tell them it’s off. – That’s the other thing. | |
| [25:18] | I mean, there is no more… | |
| [25:20] | “up there,” um, and… and… and look, I… | |
| [25:22] | I cannot call it off. | |
| [25:24] | But I’m the one on the line. | |
| [25:26] | I’m the only one who needs to lose feet over this… | |
| [25:28] | sleep over this. | |
| [25:30] | You just need to make the software. | |
| [25:31] | I should have told you, but, | |
| [25:34] | it just seemed like something | |
| [25:35] | that you might have a knee-jerk overreaction to. | |
| [25:38] | [chuckles] I can tell you what your grandmother would do. | |
| [25:41] | – Um… – You’re fired. | |
| [25:42] | [Michael] She does go right there, but obviously | |
| [25:44] | I don’t think that you would go that far. | |
| [25:46] | You have more shares than me, | |
| [25:48] | – so you could fire me. – I just did. | |
| [25:55] | Yup. This is how it ended for the honeybee, as well. | |
| [26:00] | [Ron] And that’s when Michael decided | |
| [26:02] | he deserved to use what was going to be… | |
| [26:05] | You’re fired. | |
