I Care a Lot Edit

A corporation with 80 different companies, all registered offshore,

A countrywide guardianship corporation,

A dangerous man.

A life.

A medical arm, a pharmaceutical arm.

A nice face, unbroken bones,

A real estate arm, a legal arm, a training arm,

A thriving business, employees...

About a tour of the facility.

About fucking time.

After I destroy you, I will destroy her.

Alan Levitt? Fuck.

Alexi Ignatyev. Brother of Nicholas Ignatyev

All earning monster interest.

All it takes is hard work

All the way back to her birth certificate.

Alone and in terrible pain.

Along with his boss, Roman Lunyov.

Also I’ve been denied any access to her, Judge.

Am I a lamb?

Am I a predator?

Am I an insider?

Am I good at money?

Amusing, confident.

And do what?

And facilities on site.

And give away the biggest opportunity we ever had?

And has been appointed by this court, by me,

And has exhibited memory and coping issues.

And her doctor and I recommend that she be moved immediately

And her doctor was so worried about her,

And I believe she is at high risk if left alone in her own home.

And I can make things very bad for you.

And I can’t find the exit. Is this B1?

And I have to pay for her care in the facility,

And I hope you get killed.

And I know from her paperwork her lawyer is a local guy

And I understand why you targeted her.

And I will do whatever I need to do

And I will drain you of your money, your comfort

And I will rip them clean off, you understand?

And I’m here to undo a miscarriage of justice.

And I’ve been poor.

And if there’s been a mistake, we can address it from there.

And if they do not find what they’re looking for,

And if you don’t comply with it, I’m afraid you may be in some trouble.

And implicated in a bunch of murders.

And it’ll be so... complicated

And let them speak for themselves.

And look at this.

And my bet is that $10 million, that’s not such a big deal for you.

And no longer needs to be in the care of a guardian.

And now Miss Grayson has barred me from seeing my mother at all.

And now she has auctioned off my mother’s house, her car,

And now she’s sitting on a nest egg.

And only 30 minutes a day out of her room.

And see what happens.

And she said that she didn’t live there anymore.

And she uses the proceeds to pay herself.

And struggle with pain

And stupid and ruthless and focused.

And that is why I can care better than a family member,

And that’s not you. You’re a shark,

And the actions of her son

And the courage and determination to never give up.

And the last time you visited her,

And the outrageous treatment she’s been given.

And then embellish symptoms to sway the court."

And then eventually, well...

And then were afraid your Cleveland friends would use your mother to flush you out,

And there was a "For Sale" sign out front.

And these days, these rare days that we get to spend together,

And those getting took.

And two, because she has very powerful... friends

And use that to your advantage.

And violent.

And we make each other billions of dollars.

And we’re gonna get trapped in it.

And wrote an affidavit recommending immediate action be taken for her safety.

And you need to get that she doctor to write another letter

And you’re gonna wish you played it differently.

And you’re still only 39.

And your self respect.

And, of course, we have superb medical staff

And, quite often, protection from their own children.

And, yes, I pay myself too.

Anyway, you don’t need to kill me.

Are a blessing for me.

Are there dreams you still wanna achieve?

Are undermining our every effort in that fight.

Are you not afraid I’ll still kill you?

Are you prepared to die to stop me, hmm?

Are you saying I am responsible for a miscarriage of justice?

Are you sure?

As far as I can tell, sir. I couldn’t get access.

As this doctor’s note describes,

As you can see, her mental health has severely deteriorated.

Ask yourself:

Baby, you’re gonna be fine. No, no, no.

Be careful.

Beautiful house, Mrs. Peterson.

Because caring, sir, is my job, it’s my profession.

Because I have no skin in the game.

Because Karen fired her for being useless at her job.

Because playing fair, being scared, that gets you nowhere.

Because she uncovered the true nature of your operation.

But as your guardian, I suggest you swallow your pride and pay me off.

But at heart most of us are weak, compliant and scared.

But because your people didn’t play by the rules.

But before you take that leap...

But for me, that’s a start.

But for now, Mr. Ericson,

But I could just as easily kill you if this thing continues any longer.

But I doubt that means anything to you.

But I hardly see any of the gold for myself.

But I win too.

But if you ever threaten, touch or spit on me again...

But it has to be a real cherry, bona fide.

But not Jennifer Peterson. She’s off limits.

But not millions of dollars’ worth of diamonds.

But not the diamonds.

But recently she has shown some signs of memory loss and confusion.

But right now it’s small potatoes.

But she’s a spider web,

But the court doesn’t appoint me for no reason.

But the fact of the matter is she does not need nor want your care.

But there is actually someone I have been meaning to talk to you about.

But there was no emergency in this case.

But this guardianship grift,

But we all die, right?

But what’s that got to do with me?

But you are connected to the Russian mafia?

But you are firmly in the top slice of the one percent.

But you... have compromised a life I spent years carefully building.

But you’re missing the point. These diamonds don’t officially exist.

But your visits to your mother upset her,

But, for now,

But, oh, the money we could make.

Call Dean.

Can entrust my mother to this stranger.

Can I get a copy of this?

Can you call me a cab?

Can you open the door? I just wanna get some air.

Can you present any paperwork that proves you are Miss Peterson’s lawyer?

Can you send me a list of all the empty,

Can’t I use that elevator?

Chad.

Charge it to the Feldstrom account, full rate.

Charging each other invoices, burying profit.

Check progress on the Bather property.

Come on in.

Come on, Marl. I can’t just give you a cherry for free.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. I’m helping you feed the money monster,

Could you open the door so I can get some air?

Credit check came back A1, totally clean.

Curtis will validate your parking on the way out.

Curtis, it’s Marla.

Curtis.

Dean Ericson, Your Honor. These are my associates.

Dean Ericson. You know him?

Dean, I have a legal duty.

Deemed her incapable of taking care of herself.

Destroy the competition.

Diamonds. Lots.

Did you find my mother?

Ding dong.

Do it legally, do it fast.

Do it quietly,

Do me a favor. Keep us in the loop if you hear anything else.

Do you know who I am?

Do you recognize that woman?

Do you remember how scary it was in 1807?

Do you think they’re stolen?

Do you think you can take her on as one of your wards?

Does he look expensive?

Does it sting more because I’m a woman?

Don’t tease me. Give me the details.

Don’t touch me.

Don’t try to be anyone else.

Don’t try to talk. You have a tube in your throat.

Don’t underestimate me.

Don’t worry.

Done.

Door to door, that’s just over five hours. Round it to six.

Dr. Karen Amos was a highly popular and respected doctor...

Drugs. I can’t think.

Either you show me some paperwork

Even sadistic, immoral assholes get old.

Even though you know how important this is to me,

Except me.

Excuse me, Your Honor. May I speak?

Excuse me!

Excuse me. Who called you?

Extremely unpleasant and uncomfortable.

Feeling better.

Fiona has a vendetta against Karen

Fiona Jacobs is your witness?

First take a long, hard look at yourself.

For as long as you damn well please.

Fran says hello. Oh, she told me to ask after your brother Mikey.

Fran, call the Realtor.

Fran, say the word and we’re gone.

Fran?

Fran.

From her tax records, it says that she has three separate saving accounts,

Fuck the diamonds.

Fuck the waiting list. How much?

Fuck this.

Fuck, now I have to cash him out,

Fuck!

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck. I’m on my way.

Get down on the ground!

Get my mother out of that home and keep her out.

Get rid of her.

Give me a taste.

Give me the phone.

Go ahead. I don’t give a shit about that fucking sociopath.

Go around the back. I wanna get a closer look.

Go away from me. No, no, no, don’t let her do that.

Good for you. I’m not here to ruin your business.

Good morning, Miss Peterson. I’m sorry to disturb you so early.

Good morning, Mrs. Peterson. Pleasure to meet you.

Good morning.

Good news or bad news?

Good to know.

Good.

Got anyone for us?

Got ya.

Great. I’ll get him on the phone for you.

Have at it.

Having a penis doesn’t automatically make you more scary to me,

He can produce no piece of paper to prove it. No contract, no retainer.

He doesn’t know it yet, but we found him in our system.

He just died.

He just suddenly appeared in my office making threats and accusations.

He made threats ’cause threats are all he had left.

He says he works for you. He says he’s a lawyer.

He’ll kill you next.

He’s coming.

He’s pulling up.

Heard about Dr. Amos.

Hell, if your whole enterprise isn’t the perfect example of the American dream,

Hello, Marla Grayson.

Hello?

Help. Help!

Her mobility is compromised.

Her personal belongings.

Hey, bitch!

Hey, how’d it go? Did she take the bait on Mikey?

Hey, it’s Fran. Leave a message.

Hey! [grunting]

Hey! Bitch!

Hey! Let her go!

Hey. Good going.

Hey. I’m good, Marla. How about you?

Hi, boss. Congrats on the win.

Hi, Petra. Dr. Karen’s expecting me.

Hi. Can you help me?

Hi. I wondered if you could help me, please.

Hi. Uh... I have an appointment with, uh...

His room. Huh. That’s a corner deluxe.

Hmm?

Hmm. When did you last see Jennifer?

How about... five million?

How are you feeling?

How are you feeling?

How can I just abandon her?

How do we trust each other?

How is it in my mother’s best interest to have her son barred from seeing her?

How much are you worth? How much do you have in the bank?

How uncomfortable are we talking?

I agree.

I agree. Order upheld.

I am a fucking lioness.

I am acting on behalf of concerned parties

I believe she made it happen. She’s your mother’s guardian.

I can arrange that.

I can do whatever I want with you.

I can go pick them up if you want me to.

I can go to 250.

I can take care of her.

I can’t find anyone in her life that we should be scared of.

I care for those who are in need of protection,

I control your drugs, your food, your comfort.

I cut all her fingers off with a bread knife.

I didn’t think so.

I didn’t wanna have to do this.

I do.

I don’t know how you live with yourself. Our lives are being ruined.

I don’t know what is.

I don’t know.

I don’t like being angry.

I don’t like you.

I don’t lose. I won’t lose.

I don’t think I will.

I don’t understand how the court

I don’t understand.

I don’t want it in my purse all day.

I found an obituary of the dead girl in an old newspaper.

I got lucky. But what about next time?

I got nothing to say.

I got you, John Doe.

I guarantee you, she would sign a retainer.

I have an affidavit here from an ex employee from Dr. Amos’ practice

I have submitted a letter from her current doctor attesting to that fact.

I haven’t counted recently.

I hope you get ****d and murdered,

I imagine the paperwork is brutal.

I just do what is right for your mother.

I just need an approximate valuation, Vee.

I just responded to a call from a doctor.

I knew you would.

I know Fiona. She was useless.

I know what’s in there.

I know you have a lot in your fold already.

I know your game, your hustle.

I know. I know.

I know. So, now we’re in the market for a new client.

I like it.

I love my mother very much.

I manage your mother’s money because someone has to.

I mean, that is unless you get me out of here now.

I mean... I hate you...

I much prefer to be calm.

I need my cell phone. Could you find it for me?

I need something in return.

I need something.

I need the full works for this one.

I own you.

I propose we create a monster...

I quote: "Karen would palm off difficult patients to Marla

I represent Jennifer Peterson.

I spoke to a woman with some swatches

I spoke to your manager, Mr. Rice, this morning

I suggest you come with me temporarily

I sympathize, I do,

I think he’s talking to you.

I think I’m on totally the wrong level,

I think if your opening gambit is 150 grand,

I think this is why Mr. Ericson wants Miss Peterson out of my protection.

I think we should have them just in case.

I thought he’d last us at least another five years.

I thought...

I thought... I thought we were dead.

I used to be like you...

I wanna be very... fucking rich.

I wanna change their location for a while for safekeeping...

I want $10 million.

I will grab your dick and balls

I will tear you apart until you tell me where they are.

I work with Dr. Karen Amos, your physician.

I’d like to propose an alternative.

I’ll be overseeing the upkeep of your property until you sort this out.

I’ll give you $50 if you’ll let me make a call on your cell.

I’ll give you the $10 million.

I’ll tell your mom you send your best.

I’m actually a little early.

I’m afraid it’s not up to you or me to decide.

I’m fine. I’m more than fine. I don’t need help.

I’m going to kill you now.

I’m gonna talk to someone who has all the answers.

I’m happy for you to keep milking these poor vulnerable people

I’m just doing my job.

I’m just someone who cares.

I’m never letting you go.

I’m not afraid, no.

I’m not at liberty to reveal that information.

I’m not scared of him.

I’m now your legal guardian.

I’m saying, "No, thank you."

I’m so sorry.

I’m sure as fucking sure.

I’m sure you’re providing absolutely stellar care for Miss Peterson.

I’m the worst mistake you’ll ever make.

I’ve been feeling her out, and I think she...

I’ve made sure that if I die, you’ll never see those diamonds

If I could just get access to her,

If she even lives that long.

If we make each other rich, the trust will follow.

If we run, we’ll always be looking over our shoulders.

If you don’t pay, someone else will.

If you feel there’s been an error,

If you need me to take care of her,

If you need to make a call, you just ask, okay?

In emergencies, the court can convene

In the future, maybe.

Including her death certificate.

Instead of me giving you $10 million...

Is he in there?

Is that my smoothie?

Is that not true?

Is this the key to one of your safety deposit boxes?

Isn’t it better to finish this now?

It doesn’t agree with me.

It doesn’t.

It had been, um, cleared out

It says that on your business card?

It was a fiction created by Miss Grayson

It was arson, a hit. They’d been caught skimming.

It won’t cover the facility bill after this month.

It’ll feel the same way when I’m dead.

It’s 2:17. That’s...

It’s a goddamn nightmare. She has kidnapped my mother!

It’s a real nice neighborhood, expensive.

It’s a real nice stone, not the usual dog shit people bring in.

It’s as if Miss Grayson has purposely just kept me away from her.

It’s my duty to ensure that adequate care is supplied to you at all times.

It’s not him, it’s his driver. Go. He’s on the move.

It’s okay.

It’s on the third floor, I think.

It’s ripe,

It’s the easiest way.

It’s the license plate of the car our Russian friend was driving.

It’s very important.

It’s yours when you release her.

Jennifer called you from the facility?

Jennifer is unwell. I’m afraid she’s unable to attend.

Jennifer needs to be released from your care ASAP

Jennifer Peterson is in need of my protection.

Jennifer Peterson’s dead.

Jennifer,

Jennifer, do you know a man named Dean Ericson?

Jennifer, how are you feeling?

Jennifer, listen to me carefully.

Jennifer, who are you?

Jennifer.

Jennifer. Jennifer. Tell me.

Judge, can I ask why Jennifer is again not present today?

Judge, you know Fiona hates Karen.

Just know who you are

Just leaking money into your account one overpriced hour at a time.

Just pay me off.

Just the opposite.

Just us.

Just your regular old lady.

Karen. It’s Marla.

Keep me away from it.

Keep your eyes on the road.

Know who you are.

Last week was the 8th.

Lawyer.

Lead the way.

Legally.

Let me help you with those.

Let me tell you something. I never went to court.

Let’s find a nurse to get that tube out of your throat

Let’s go.

Let’s just say you’ll not be comfortable

Liar. Jennifer did not call you from the facility.

Like a bludgeon,

Like a golden fucking goose. Look at this.

Lions and lambs.

Listen to me. I am prepared to kill you to get out of here.

Listen to me. You’re gonna be fine. You’re gonna be fine. Marla?

Lock it down. Lock it down.

Look at all these cash cows on your wall

Look at me, baby. Look at me. Look at me.

Look... Whoa!

Looks like she downsized when she retired, liquidated,

Lying in a pool of his own urine.

Madam!

Madam?

Madam.

Marla Grayson is a well respected professional guardian

Marla Grayson, CEO and founder.

Marla Grayson, my favorite lady. [clears throat]

Marla Grayson? Pleasure to meet you.

Marla Grayson.

Marla Grayson. Yeah.

Marla, what’s your secret?

Marla, you’re not the only game in town. There’s a waiting list.

Marla.

Marla.

May I show you this?

May I speak with you for a minute?

Maybe he knows about the diamonds.

Maybe he took a shine to you and wrote you into his will.

Maybe he’s cut in on them. He’s scared we’ll find them.

Maybe the plate was stolen.

Maybe you should just take the money.

Michael still moves stuff here and there.

Miss Grayson doesn’t care about my mother at all.

Miss Grayson forced my mother into the home

Miss Peterson has become delusional, paranoid

Miss Peterson, cell phones are kept secure for the safety of our guests.

Miss Peterson? My name is Marla Grayson.

Mm, 175, maybe 200 grand. It’s a nice one.

Mm... No. In seven years, she’s never missed an appointment.

Mostly.

Mr. Feldstrom, sir, I sympathize.

Mr. Feldstrom, sir...

Mr. Naylor at Galen and Hersch.

Mr. Rice is here, but he’s unavailable.

My bet is you’re Roman, ’cause you seem more like a boss than a soldier.

My client was not invited

My father has a friend who’s a resident here.

My mom died!

My name is Marla Grayson, and I’m not a lamb.

My name is Walter Smith.

Nice to see you.

No debt, no criminal record, never been married.

No games, no TV

No living family.

No one would ever miss them.

No solids, just oatmeal and soup.

No, but I think I can guess.

No, I have some errands to run.

No, I’m your guardian.

No, Marla!

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no. I don’t want my guardian.

No, no, no, no. Leave the photograph.

No, she packed and walked. Hardly any of them fight.

No, that’s just data for you to... collate.

No, the plate definitely matched a black Yukon.

No, we’re alive, hon.

No.

No.

No. Alan Levitt? Really?

No. No, um...

No. Uh, she’s there by court order.

None of them.

Not because I want to,

Not because I’ll enjoy it or because I planned for it,

Not deliberately, Your Honor. You were lied to.

Not even nothing. Why be scared of that?

Not just one company,

Not now, Sam. We’re already in transit.

Not quite everything.

Now, I know what you do here.

Now, if you need me at any time, night or day, you just ask, okay?

Now, Miss Peterson, I wanna say I’m honored to be your guardian.

Now, why the fuck would I do that?

Of course you do.

Of course, this is no reflection on you.

Of course.

Of course.

Of course.

Of course. The thing is, Jennifer’s guardian has stipulated

Of some of her assets to finance that.

Offspring who are willing to let their parents starve in squalor

Oh, baby! No!

Oh, Fran!

Oh, fuck you, Sam. All right, two grand.

Oh, God.

Oh, I don’t know. I came straight here.

Oh, I’m gonna need my reading glasses. I’ll be right back.

Oh, my goodness. Have I done something wrong?

Oh, no, ma’am. This is to help you.

Oh, really? Do you believe that?

Oh, she doesn’t live here anymore.

Oh, shit!

Oh, thank God.

Oh, thank God. I need help. I need my cell phone.

Oh, working hard, playing hard.

Oh, yeah. He may be a solution.

Oh, you’re a robber.

Oh! Fuck, no, motherfucker! I’ll fucking get...

Oh.

Oh. Hello.

Oh. My mistake. Thank you.

Oh...

Okay, then. Marla, I don’t want you to get shot in the head.

Okay! It’s family court, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Oh. Sam Rice called.

Okay. Thanks. Goodbye.

One, it is the right thing to do,

Open the door.

Or am I a lion?

Or am I an outsider?

Or am I good at people?

Or am I prey?

Or into your home.

Or maybe Karen fired her

Or uncomfortable ever again.

Or whoever the hell you really are...

Or you bring these concerned parties into a hearing

Or you can make a call and get me the address

Out of the way! Get out of the way!

Ow!

Ow. Jesus fucking Christ.

Peter, I am only just getting started.

Playing fair is a joke invented by rich people

Please, sir, calm down.

Please, sir... Please.

Police will not yet confirm that it was suicide.

Predators and prey.

Probably.

Protection from apathy, protection from their own pride

Pull the trigger on Jennifer Peterson.

Push her physical exercise to grade four level.

Put her on the basic food package.

Quick, pack a bag.

Rather than dip into what they see as their inheritance

Report it to the court, request a hearing.

Right now I have men searching for what you stole.

Right now look at what you have.

Right on.

Right this way, madam.

Right, sure, let’s stick with that. But her doctor is mistaken.

Sam, I want you to adjust Jennifer Peterson’s routine.

Sam, you treat this lady like a queen. You hear me?

Saying Jennifer has made a full recovery

See that?

Seeking to exploit the elderly for their hard earned savings.

She begged me not to

She bought the house seven years ago, owns it outright.

She cannot take adequate care of herself,

She checked herself into a care home?

She did.

She didn’t want to leave her home.

She doesn’t need a court appointed guardian.

She doesn’t need to be in a care facility.

She has a loving son to take care of her.

She has memory loss indicative of dementia.

She has no family?

She has no kids, no husband,

She has no need for the care of a guardian like yourself.

She has no one to care for her, except us.

She insures a $600 watch,

She just stole the identity of a dead child.

She likes to go during the day to the movies.

She lists the gold, the jewelry, the bonds,

She lives at 41 Williams Street in Shallcross.

She moved. Miss Peterson moved.

She now has full control of your mother’s life and assets.

She reads a lot, likes gardening.

She referred her to the courts for emergency help.

She told me she used to work in finance in Chicago and moved here to retire.

She was fiery, like you.

She was fitter and more focused than I am most of the time.

She was perfectly fine on her own.

She was put there by this woman who has falsely asserted

She wasn’t at the house.

She worked at the same company for 40 years.

She. The doctor, she’s a she.

She’d let it run into quite a mess.

She’s a danger to others and herself.

She’s a retired businesswoman.

She’s buried underneath a Jimmy John’s now.

She’s in the games room. I have to warn you,

She’s not an impartial witness.

She’s now a ward of the state.

She’s rich, independent, literate.

Shit, baby. No, I didn’t. Didn’t you?

Shoot.

Sir, he’s alone.

Sir, the latest batch of mules arrived this morning.

Sir, we’re going around in circles.

Sir?

Skills.

So how did this happen?

So Jennifer Peterson hasn’t retained you as her lawyer?

So much drugs.

So you can arrange for $10 million to be moved into my account.

So you feel at home.

So you turned her into Jennifer Peterson.

So, are you in?

So, what are you thinking?

So, what’s the good news?

So, where is she?

So, yes, I oversaw the sale

So, you faked your own death

So, you find her and bring her to me.

So...

Sold.

Some of us die sooner in a more horribly protracted and painful way.

Someone call help! Marla?

Something more than an old lady. You know what I’m talking about.

Sorry, sir. I can come back later if...

Sorry. I thought he had legs.

Sorry. I’m just closing up. Did you have an appointment?

Sort of.

Split them, 50 50.

Stop!

Stupid, but brave.

Sure. Right around this corner and to your left.

Take a seat, get to the point.

Take control of the entire market.

Take her arthritis and pain meds down to minimum,

Tax records going back 40 years.

Taxi for Miss Peterson.

Tell me who you are.

Tell me.

Tell me.

Tell me.

Thank you, sir. It’s been a pleasure.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks, Addie. So, what time is it now?

Thanks, Curtis. Seat belt.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks. It’s been fun.

That gets you beat.

That it’ll take years before she sees freedom.

That Jennifer is of ill health when, in fact, she’s perfectly fine.

That lady right there, she’s my fucking hero.

That Miss Grayson and Dr. Amos regularly colluded on cases

That must be a hell of a responsibility, all these people.

That must feel good.

That proves you are Miss Peterson’s lawyer

That she have only approved visitors.

That that license is registered to.

That way, you win.

That wouldn’t be ethical.

That you got so soundly beaten in there by someone with a vagina?

That you require assistance in taking care of yourself.

That your property’s taken care of safely.

That’s a private elev... [groaning]

That’s enough to be able to use money as a weapon,

That’s odd. She sounds a bit more like a prisoner than a guest.

That’s perfectly normal for an emergency hearing.

That’s simply not true, Miss Grayson.

That’s terrible. Poor woman.

That’s the exact opposite of what is happening.

That’s what I want.

That’s your mother, isn’t it?

That’s your name, correct? Jennifer Peterson.

The 15th.

The court has appointed me to be your legal guardian.

The court has ruled that you do need help and, as your legal guardian,

The court has ruled, under the guidance of your doctor,

The doctor had to adjust her medication to calm her down.

The house was changed, uh...

The judge is an asshole. He’s an idiot. He doesn’t even know law.

The people who take...

The savings account is nearly empty.

The state automatically appoints them a legal guardian

The state steps in to help.

The way real rich people do.

The well loved family doctor was found dead at her place of work.

The woman we have isn’t Jennifer Peterson.

Then have at it, you little crock of cunt.

Then he might let you live.
