He's like, Alexi steps in and he's like, we take Cash App, we take Venmo.
A mere $10,000 for the repatriation of my mom or whatever. And then Mook and Gaitak, they go on their date. It goes badly because Mook is like, I want you to be more violent because that's how you advance in this world. And they go to the Muay Thai fight and she's like, see, it's natural. This staged fight that people are paying for, this is actually so natural.
And then but at the fight, like, I mean, it kind of seeds like we are supposed to think that something is going to happen when he recognizes, you know, in kind of a somewhat heavy handed flashback that, oh, these Russian guys with that girl from the hotel, they are the ones that punched me and robbed me. Right. And so you're supposed to think perhaps next episode he'll make a grand gesture.
He's got the gun back, you know, which Jason Isaacs realizes to his dismay. Now he's fantasizing about killing his son because his son has also said, I have nothing but what you gave me. And he's like, oh, no. I've got to put these people out of their misery. But, you know, in this incredible prop magician's cabinet, this filing cabinet, 45 compartments, none of which contain a gun.
Guy talks about it.
I feel like this episode, I mean, the real here's a test and how are you going to pass it happens with both Rick and Frank. Like, unexpectedly with Frank, I think we're, you know, we're 45 seconds into this encounter at Sreetala's house. And he's like, I'll take a whiskey.
And I'm like, no, Frank.
God, don't do it for this.
You should have thought about what, you know, let's get an IMDB for you.
But I think that Rick doesn't know what he's doing, right? Like, I think that up until... I mean, it's very confusing, this confrontation. It's a strange one. Rick doesn't know what's going to happen here. And he has brought that spirit to Frank as the director, who has no idea what his name... They don't remember what each other's names are. They haven't looked at Sreeta Lala's IMDb, you know?
They're watching the VHS tape. He's like, it's giving Pippin.
And Jim, the legendary Scott Glenn –
We were just going, it's what, Apocalypse Now, you were saying?
Oh my God, his outfit in Urban Cowboy.
It's giving Pratt.
Pratt student.
He's got a cane. But he knows something is wrong almost immediately. Like he knows once Rick calls Frank, Frank. He knows. Like, there's a look in his eye and he's like, something is up here. But he engages Rick with it. He's like, OK, let's take it to the den. Like, he knows something's up.
But he's used to having enough power in his whole life that he's like, fine, let's see what this is fucking about.
test that he passed but it's I mean I think I think to me what it is it's like you confronted reality as it is right you confronted the fact that this person was a different person then someone that was capable of murdering in cold blood now he's probably still capable Scott Glenn is still capable of murdering in cold blood but he's old he's frail now and you have power over him like he had ultimate power over here for how for 50 years right
Now you functionally and completely physically existentially like this man is at the end of his life. You still have Chelsea waiting for you back home, not fucking Patrick Schwarzenegger. And and he's sort of like, OK, I mean, the test, so to speak, is different because of the actual reality that confronts him in the moment. It's not can I kill this man? Do I have the strength to kill this man?
