00:00Grandpa!
00:02Grandpa, I missed you so much.
00:06I didn't even get to play with you all at home.
00:09I know, kiddo.
00:10Your grandpa was busy at work.
00:12But I'm going to have a lot more time now.
00:14I can come over every day if you want.
00:16Yeah?
00:18Oh, you're getting strong.
00:20Dad?
00:22Shouldn't you be at work?
00:24I'm actually...
00:26I'm actually not going to be working there anymore.
00:30Webster laid me off.
00:32You got fired?
00:34Fuck.
00:36What are we going to do about the mortgage now?
00:38Mortgage? What are you talking about?
00:40The mortgage for this house, you stupid old fuck.
00:44Hannah and I have been using your paycheck to pay off the mortgage.
00:46What are we going to do now?
00:48They're going to foreclose on us.
00:50Jesse, I've been giving you my paycheck since you and Helen got married.
00:54Why isn't the mortgage paid off yet?
00:56Because a whole year's worth of your salary didn't even last me a single night in Vegas.
01:02So you were gambling it.
01:04I bust my back ten hours a day and what?
01:07You gambled it all away in one night on craps?
01:10Poker?
01:11I can't believe you two.
01:12Alright?
01:13I've given everything for you guys.
01:14I stopped drinking coffee for you, alright?
01:16I barely scrape by on $300 a month.
01:20And you flush it down the drain.
01:22Gambling?
01:23Look old man, I don't care.
01:26But Helen and I need the money to pay off the mortgage.
01:29And until you get another job, I want you to stay away from Audrey.
01:33Oh, Grandpa!
01:36What's coming into you, Jesse?
01:38I'm near retirement, okay?
01:41What's an old man like me supposed to do?
01:44You and Helen and little Audrey, you guys are all that I have.
01:48I just want to see this little girl grow up, okay?
01:52Please.
01:53I already lost my wife.
01:55Don't talk about my mom.
01:57If you weren't so stubborn, if you would have just left Detroit when you had the chance,
02:01she would have had better insurance coverage and not die.
02:04I would be in a better place too.
02:07And now we're all stuck in this...
02:10hell hole.
02:12Because of you.
02:14You're useless.
02:15My buddy Tom Norris got promoted to senior engineer in a year!
02:20You've been there for decades!
02:21And you're still just some low-level mechanic.
02:25Now get out!
02:26Now stay away from Audrey!
02:28Grandpa! Grandpa!
02:30You wanna see Audrey again?
02:32Who brings a nice, fat paycheck?
02:35Grandpa!
02:36Jesse's great.
02:37Got a job.
02:38You owe that to us.
02:39Now go dumpster dive if you have to.
02:41Grandpa!
02:43Grandpa!
02:45Grandpa!
02:46Grandpa!
02:48I just didn't want to give up on my city.
02:50Is that...
02:51so wrong?
02:55Oh, look at that stinky hobo!
02:57Let's cross the street before he gets all his...
02:59germs on us!
03:09Webster still hasn't given us our last paycheck.
03:12And I haven't eaten since last night.
03:25Guess this will have to be my dinner.
03:29What?
03:31What?
03:33Holy shit!
03:36Nick Walker!
03:37The rock star engineer behind our 1987 Webster Corsair.
03:42What are you doing?
03:43Eating out of a dumpster.
03:44Tom, you know this guy!
03:46Yep.
03:47Fired him yesterday.
03:48He's a piece of shit mechanic who wouldn't stop going on about,
03:51Oh, the assembly line's gonna explode!
03:53So I got rid of him.
03:56It's no laughing matter, Tom.
03:58I'm serious.
03:59If you're not careful, that whole assembly line is going to malfunction.
04:02Oh, fuck, man.
04:03Still stuck on that?
04:05That is bullshit.
04:07Hank Walker, they may have kept you around for 40 years because they're dumb.
04:11But I know you're nothing special.
04:13If you were anything like me, you'd at least be a manager.
04:16Well, they did ask me.
04:18But I turned him down because I want to work with cars.
04:22That's what I do best.
04:23And I don't need some empty title.
04:25But, Tom, you have got to listen to me, okay?
04:28Have your guys watch the line.
04:29Otherwise, it's gonna cost Webster millions.
04:31What a joke!
04:32I can't with you.
04:34Look, this is our newest software.
04:38All the lights are green.
04:40Green means good.
04:42See?
04:43Nothing can possibly go wrong.
04:46Warning, malfunction detected.
04:48Initiating emergency stop protocol.
04:53No way this bastard got it right.
