Episode One
An Uber, a drunken Chuck is with an Arab driver, music (pertinent to the city in which filmed) blaring, Chucky laughing/cackling telling him to make it louder / casino / bar / banging on doors in the city / ‘Ring’ doorbell camera footage / altercation with guys in neighborhood / Jake rescues him, beats up the bad dudes from the city, throws Chucky in the car and zooms off.
The next morning. Chucky opens his bloodshot eyes and tries to focus on the objects in the room to determine his whereabouts. Too early to try to recall the previous night’s events.
Jake hears him rustling in the bed.
JAKE: Hey Stupid, you up?
Chucky closes his eyes.
JAKE: You gotta work in an hour. And you’re scheduled to be in the office today.
CHUCKY: Fuck that, I’m working remote.
