Roofman (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Okay, I need you to start off the

bathrooms.

Jocelyn, can you please

take out all the eggs, batter,

patties, and McMuffins

out of the freezer, okay?

I'll help you once I turn everything on.

Good morning, team.

No, no, no.

Don't be scared.

Do you just do what I say?

No one gets hurt, okay?

No, no, no.

Look, pointing it down.

Okay, now, I'm going to

say a polite and cheerful

good morning, and

then you guys say it back.

Good morning.

No?

Dwayne, after I say it, that's how that

works, okay?

Now, good morning, team.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Yes, perfect.

I say what you're doing, you guys just do

it.

Okay, I want you to get your coats back

on.

Dwayne, grab your coat.

Grab your coat.

I don't have one, sir.

You don't have a coat.

How do you not have a coat?

I just forgot.

Well, you're just going to have to be a

little cold today.

All right, let's go.

After you, ladies first.

Now, listen to me.

You guys aren't going to die in here.

As soon as I'm out of

here, I'm going to call

the cops, and they're

going to let you guys out.

Probably get the day off.

No, don't, don't.

Do not look at me like that.

Dwayne, stop it.

Because this is your fault.

It's cold.

Are you serious?

Dang it.

I don't know what kind of jerk doesn't

bring his own coat to work.

Okay?

Happy now?

My ears are cold.

This is the part of the story

where I hope you're wondering

how a nice guy like me

ends up becoming a criminal.

Good morning.

Welcome to the g*ns.

I'm going to put you on a free hold.

What the hell, Dwayne?

I can't blame my parents.

I had a good childhood.

I was just never good at school,

or behaving.

But I was good at certain things that were

really valuable to the military.

But after my discharge, I

didn't know where I fit, or what

to do, or how to give my kids

the things that other kids had.

So, I made some bad choices that took away

some other choices.

And those bad choices all started two

years ago.

At my daughter's sixth birthday party.

Gotta make a big ol' wish.

One more.

Make a wish.

What'd you wish for?

A bike.

Bike?

I don't know if a bike is exactly gonna

fit in this box, but rip it open.

What are you doing?

Yeah.

What do you think?

It's cool, right?

It's my own director set.

Let's open it up.

There's two hundred pieces of you.

You got engines, you got gears,

pulleys, wheels, light switches.

We can make almost anything that we want

with this thing.

Anything that you can do, we can make it.

Okay?

What do you say?

Can you make a bike with it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I can't believe the dude I knew from the

82nd can't even afford a bike.

Well, tell me how you're doing so well.

Well, let me see.

Just this week, I got two Japanese

students' passports since I gave up.

Five grand for fake passports?

No, for real passports.

Can I help you with that?

No, you can't.

You can't help me with sh*t.

You crazy, man?

You ain't helping me do a g*dd*mn thing.

I don't need your help.

Plus, we already know that doing things

the right way is not your super power.

Okay, tell me what my super power is,

then.

Enlighten me, Buddha.

What's the flow rate on that old?

12 gallons per minute?

Mm-hmm.

How many houses is on the street?

And now that knows how many got chimneys,

garages.

How many of them use a heat pump instead

of a traditional AC?

Do you want me to sell HVAC systems or

something?

No, no.

I'm trying to make the point.

Make the point, please.

Observation.

Detail.

You see sh*t people don't see.

You got like a little x-ray vision going

on.

What, you think they dropped you off in

Central America because you were a good shot?

Is that what you think?

No.

No, they dropped you because of what you

see.

sh*t, I had a brain like yours.

I've been running a whole g*dd*mn world.

You know, you're the smartest dumb n*gga I

ever known.

That sh*t crazy.

You can stop filling up that pool now.

Ain't nobody gonna get in there.

That sh*t cold as hell.

So mama is probably gonna want to know how

the party was.

And yeah, I think we did our best for the

evening.

Maybe we don't mention the pool.

Trying to count, right?

Mommy!

Hi.

Hey guys, I'm Chris.

Look, look, look.

I know a few months haven't been easy.

And we don't have the things that we

actually need.

And that's my fault and I own that.

Okay, I do.

But I think I haven't figured out now.

I just got to use my superpower.

Your superpower?

Your superpower?

Yes.

I can't do this, John.

No, come on.

Please don't do this.

Alright, banana head.

Say goodbye.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

I didn't blame her for laughing at me.

For thinking I was a joke.

But there were things that she didn't know

about me.

Things that weren't so funny.

Steve knew what I was capable of.

I do see things that other people don't

see.

Like right now, I see that kid climbing up

that line.

And I know that under

that flimsy roof is a machine

that turns ground beef

and potatoes into money.

With the same dining room.

The same deep fryers with blinking red

timer lights.

The same shake machine with the same two

flavors.

And the same safe bowl

of weekend corporate

burger money that no

one was going to miss.

They emptied that safe

at the exact same time

on Monday morning at

every single McDonald's.

Welcome to McDonald's.

Do you know what you want?

Huh?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Um, yeah, I figured it out.

Thank you.

There are over 10,000 almost identical

McDonald's across the United States.

The question was how many do you need to

rob to get a real house?

Buy your kids nice things and win your

family back.

Turns out, the answer is 45.

Jewel in Fayetteville.

As you can imagine, this was a terrifying

experience.

He came in, there was a freezer,

and he gave you his coat.

And he gave you his coat.

Yes, we don't want it to be cold.

It was actually really nice.

Police pulling this is the same suspect

who has been terrorized.

He's here alone.

We have a sketch of the roof man.

He is always wearing a mask.

He's described as six foot two with an

athletic build.

Nice TV, you got it, okay?

Babe, are you fooling something like that?

We got 1,500 kids out there that are

losing their minds from kicking.

We have to go.

Why are you doing that at all?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, don't,

don't, don't.

Come on.

Let's go.

g*dd*mn, man.

Big breath, big wish.

Here we go.

Alright, we're going to do this one first.

Big things and little boxes.

What is this?

A garage door opener.

Why did you give me a garage door opener?

I don't know, I just couldn't think of

anywhere else to put a saber to tiger.

I couldn't put it in the kitchen,

could I?

Where is it?

You look good.

Get on it.

How you guys doing?

We're looking for Jeffrey Manchester.

It's about the other registration.

I got it right in here.

One second.

Mr. Manchester, please rise.

The state has proved beyond

the divine burden that you

committed the crime of robbery

with a dangerous weapon.

I'd like to take into consideration your

service to this country and the armed

forces and the impact of your children

losing their father.

Although you're only being tried for one

robbery, we know you've done many more.

And so the prosecution has requested that

they issue a single count of felony

kidnapping for each victim you locked in a

freezer.

Let the record state that on the 4th of

February 2004 you're hereby sentenced to

180 months for each of the three victims

for a total of 540 months and 45 years in

the North Carolina Department of

Corrections.

Mr. Sheriff, he is in your custody.

This concludes this case.

I miss you too.

I miss you a lot.

Did you get the letter that I drew to the

big old house owner?

No.

No, no, that is not right.

These letters are there for right now.

We're cutting the cord.

They said we have to cut the cord.

No, we're not cutting the cord.

Okay, well that's good.

That's really good.

What did they say there?

Look, that last part is not very,

very wrong.

Okay, six seconds remaining.

Hey.

He wants to talk to you.

No, tell him that you have to hang up.

Gary's going to help you with your

homework.

He doesn't want to talk to you.

He said I have to get off and get lost.

Gary?

Who's Gary?

Huh, mom's going to need your name Gary.

That's fun.

I'm going to go tomorrow at the same time

I owe it to her.

No, who said that?

No.

Hang up the phone.

It's okay.

You can hang up.

Is that Gary?

Put him on the phone right now.

Gary or your mom on the phone right now,

Becky, okay?

Hey.

And going away means we're getting weird.

Well, hello?

Hello?

Becky?

Why aren't you still thinking about it?

We gotta let that go.

Ain't no getting out of here.

We got out of here as they eat.

Every prisoner wants the same thing.

To get out of prison.

And they think that the way out is through

a wall or over a fence.

But the guards got that covered.

The way out of prison is through the

people.

Prison was just another building full of

systems and routines.

Keep the routine and the guards won't be

suspicious.

If you're nice enough, if you're useful,

they forget you're in there for a reason.

And when they stop watching you,

you can start watching them.

Do you smell that?

No, I can leave you.

How about checking it out for me?

Yes, sir.

I'll take your same thing.

See that?

Doesn't look too bad just yet.

I don't know.

It'll probably get you back to where

you're going.

Alright.

Well, come on out of there.

Get in there.

I'll tell your maintenance guy.

You might need any gas.

I appreciate it, man.

Yes, sir.

Have a good one.

You too.

Yes, sir.

Too soft?

Yep.

Too big?

Yes, sir.

Shoulder down.

This is all yours in the stomach.

Thank you, man.

It smells like you fixed it.

Yeah, good catch.

Alright, drive the city.

Alright, have a good one.

Okay.

Jeff, Jeff, what the f*ck are you doing

calling me, man?

You all over the g*dd*mn news and sh*t?

Look, I gotta get out of here.

I'm thinking, like, Brazil, Venezuela,

somewhere with the beach and no extradition.

Can you sound f*cking crazy?

I know.

I'm sorry.

Don't you know stupid sh*t might go see

your man?

Okay.

Okay, I'll hide.

Don't call my m*therf*cking phone again,

you got it?

Alright.

See?

Lock me up here.

What do you want?

I'm a m*therf*cker.

Wait a minute.

Turtle.

Sir, we're closing here in ten minutes.

Sir, here's the problem.

We promise you we will be here tomorrow.

As long as you promise us to never grow

up.

I still can't hear you.

I still can't hear you.

I still can't hear you.

He's a very smart individual, super

intelligent.

From a genius level, he's also an absolute

idiot.

We believe that the suspect will be armed.

And he has a history of violent behavior.

What?

He believes around him.

Most guys when they escape, get caught in

the first few hours.

They go as far as they can, as fast as

they can.

None of it works.

The trick is to stop.

Find a place and no one will look.

I was hiding

places in plain sight.

A place where people are too preoccupied

to see you.

So I kept quiet as a mouse.

But not at night.

I owned the night.

That was an expert day.

People have short attention spans.

After a while they get bored.

I figured I had to be quiet for about a

month, give or take.

One time, when I was

an 82nd, I spent 30 days in

the woods surviving off

of rainwater and groans.

Your body doesn't need much to keep going.

It's your brain that you have to take care

of.

If you can make your brain imagine a better

place, it can get you through anything.

Just pick any place but where you are.

Like a beach on an ocean.

A place where your kids can visit.

After everyone else forgets you.

Nearly two weeks since Jeffrey Manchester

escaped from Brown Creek Penitentiary.

Police says that on roadblocks concerned

Manchester, they still be in the area.

Sergeant, I'm with Channel 6 News.

Jeffrey Manchester's still missing.

Do you think he could be in Charlotte?

He might have kept moving, but we're not

going to give up on the possibility that

he still might be hiding out here,

and that couldn't go counting.

And when he tries to run, we'll be ready.

Well,

you know, I'm a team player, but I'm also

a mom.

I know.

Okay, well... I do.

You remind me.

I got a divorce six months ago.

So it's really hard for

me to balance everything

right now with work

and my girls and my ex.

The custody situation is...

I have, you know, one week in him,

one week in me.

I don't want to bore you with my personal

problems.

Good, good.

Because I don't want to be bored by your

personal problems.

If this is a Toys R Us problem,

then I'm interested.

Your personal problems belong on a

personal time.

Thank you, Lee.

I got to get back to payroll.

Work, work, work, work, work, work,

work.

Good to see you.

What did I say?

Okay.

It's unbelievable.

Yeah, you're an unbelievable d*ck.

No, you're a mom.

Tell her, son, you, CC.

Tell her, son, tell her.

That's the dumbest password I've ever

heard of.

What's up?

What's up?

He found me Saturday.

Goodbye.

You have the tail now.

People get bored with last week's news.

Pretty soon they continue to remember why

they knew her face.

Even cops lose interest unless you really

piss them off.

Everybody forgets you eventually.

Except people who really love you.

I couldn't get to the people who love me

now without hurting them.

The only place I might ever see them again

was somewhere else and some other time.

The first step was getting out of here.

To get there.

Hello?

Um...

Is... May I speak

to Steve, please?

Sorry, who is this?

No, this is the train.

A cross-country trip and he was expecting

me.

I was supposed to visit.

Oh, well.

He didn't say anything about visit.

I didn't know he had a cousin.

I forgot to mention it, I guess.

Who am I speaking with?

Oh, I'm a scope.

What is this about, though?

Because I'm in the middle of something,

so...

Okay,

well, should I call back in like an hour

or so?

Well, he's not going to be back until

December 1st.

Where is he?

He's not in Afghanistan and we got back

two years ago from Afghanistan.

Well, but he took a six-month contract.

Um, but...

Do you have anything that's just for him?

Yeah, uh, tell him that, uh, cousin Oliver

is going to stay with relatives in the

area until he's back on December 1st or

really important.

Okay, tell him that and, uh, I will see

you then, too, I guess.

Cousin Oliver?

That tickled me just this time.

Hello?

Hello?

That tickled me just this time.

Hey.

Hey, man.

This is the man I want to see.

You, uh...

You look peanut-in-the-nut, right?

Huh?

Yeah.

Because we're missing a lot.

Peanut-in-the-nut, do you have any idea

why?

No.

What's wrong?

Peanut-in-the-nut?

What's wrong?

I don't know.

No.

No.

No, not happening.

You can't talk to him like that.

Okay, you know, we were missing half a

dozen boxes out there.

And I just thought, oop, you've got to be

hiding somewhere, aren't you?

I am so sorry.

Oh, God.

You know, the function's that way.

It just makes it worse.

I'm not based on conflict, so... yeah.

Well, we'll work on that.

You really hurt Otis's family,

and I think you should apologize.

I'm sorry.

Well, that's a good start.

You know, people respect kindness in a

leader.

With that in mind, I want to turn back you

to my church.

Crossroads Church.

It's, uh, just across the interstate.

Have you been?

Not very churchy.

Okay, well, I'm in charge of a toy drive

there, and I'm probably thinking,

here I am working in a toy store while

Christ is, and you haven't even donated

one toy to my toy drive.

Well, we sell toys here, we don't give

them away.

Okay, what about all those return toys?

Perfectly good ones that we can't sell.

We run a business here late.

It's okay.

Well, you can still come.

You know, all people are welcome.

Even if they're mean, or are quite ready

yet.

Bring the toys, and you can be a good guy

for once.

Don't you want to be a good guy?

Come on, b*tch!

Be a good guy!

Okay.

Is that garbage?

Huh?

You want me to put down the garbage for

you?

It's just toys for the, uh... for the toy

drive.

Let's run as well.

I'll just leave them here.

It's okay.

Well, I'm not going to walk all the way

down there and they see you.

I'm very nice of you.

Thank you.

Oh, my goodness.

You got to bring it on in there.

Well, I'll show you where the toys come

in.

Where do you want me to put them?

You can bring them right in.

That's where this is actually going to be.

It really feels long out here.

It's just long out here.

Because you belong here.

We're all sinners here.

Which is why I ask my wife sometimes to

sing this to me.

Oh, somebody's very hungry, huh?

Big appetite there, huh?

Please.

I haven't had food in so long.

No, that's great.

Big food for a big guy.

Now, you can't sneak out of here.

Without saying hello, I'm pastoring this

way.

It's against the rules.

No, I would never.

I would never.

I would never.

I would never.

I would never.

John Zorn.

John Zorn.

Yeah, I haven't seen you around the area

before.

I noticed you obviously in the room.

Where are you from?

You're new to the area?

Yeah, I'm just new to this place.

And it's really everything, you know.

It's... All of this is really just, you

know, everything here is just new for me.

I'm down from New York City.

That's a walking man's town.

I mean, if ever I've been to one.

That is a walking man's town.

I bet you go through a lot of Paris

sneakers.

Right?

Everyone does, yeah.

Oh, my!

You got very small feet for a big guy.

No, I do have large feet.

It's just I put on the wrong shoes.

And I don't think these are, like,

nines and women's.

And I'm sorry.

I would never wear sneakers.

It's a church.

I'm really sorry.

You know, I'd kind of like to introduce

you to someone.

I'd like to introduce you to Lee Wayneska.

She runs the Troy Drive here.

And I heard you gave such a generous

donation.

I know she'd like to thank you for it.

You know, but it looks a bit busy over

there.

Actually, not Lee.

She's having a serious conversation with

me.

No, no, no.

I mean, isn't she a great donation?

Yeah, hey, hey.

Hey, Lee.

She does the outreach.

She does the meals.

She does the toy drive.

I really don't know how she does it all,

but she does.

And this is John Thorin.

Thorin.

Oh, New York.

Oh, New York.

That's parking here.

Yeah, a little bit.

Oh, John.

He made a very generous toy donation.

Wow, it's so kind of you.

Couldn't have come at a better time.

No, I mean, I mean, really, like Christmas

and birthdays.

I just kept giving time.

I don't know.

I just love kids.

You love kids, though?

Well... Is it family

or are you single?

I'm just officially divorced, that's all.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Not all marriages work out.

That is true.

But to answer your question, I do have

kids.

I have two little monster boys and I've

got a little girl that is my best friend.

But they're in New York and I'm your work.

What do you do for work?

Well, I went from government, but I can't

exactly talk about it.

It's classified and all that.

Well, John Thorin from New York and our

New York spy.

No, no, no, never mind.

Well, can I ask you, can we count on you

to join us next Sunday?

And also this Wednesday.

Oh, what's Wednesday?

I run a singles dinner and this week's

going to be at a Red Lobster.

I love a Red Lobster.

I mean, not just the seafood, those chain

biscuits.

Yeah, I mean, are you going to be there?

Wait.

I never thought this office would be in a

single, but sure, yeah, I'll go.

Yeah, I'll be there.

Count me in.

Good to see you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for joining.

I like being John better than I like being

Jeff.

Wednesday, yes, ma'am?

John was a good guy.

People liked him.

Please seem to like him, too.

But there was no way a girl

like her was going to really fall

for a guy in women's running

shoes and a Spider-Man t-shirt.

Also, I really need to see a dentist

living on candy is hard on teeth.

Good afternoon.

How are you?

Good, sir.

How are you?

I see what you're doing for me.

How about two to three hundred?

Yeah, I'll go three hundred.

Okay.

Yes, sir.

M.O.D.

on number twenty-nine.

Fourteen cavities.

That's a lot of cavities for an adult.

I'm sorry.

I just put a bit naturally, I guess,

a bit of a sweet tooth.

I've had access to a lot of really good

candy.

Okay, mountain wide, please.

Stop it.

I thought this

was a singles brunch, not a supermodel

brunch.

You know what he's saying out here about

us?

Well, we wanted to welcome you,

John.

Welcome, welcome.

Am I the only guy that's going to be here?

Yeah, you're right.

Okay, I hope we're not overwhelming for

you.

Oh, no, no, no, I'm actually, I'm liking

you very much.

I love having so many new friends,

especially beautiful friends.

Ooh.

I understand you work for the government.

What kind of work?

I'd love to get into those details, but I'm

undercover, so... Ooh, that sounds nice.

No, I promise it's not that mysterious.

It's really quite boring.

I never knew there was an intelligence

unit here in Charlotte.

Oh, are you a law enforcement?

I'm retired now, but I was.

Wow, that's amazing.

Am I arrested or is this work?

I don't want to get you up to it.

You're embarrassing everyone, Sally.

You did not come here to be in here again.

No, no, no, I actually really like it.

I feel a lot safer when they're here.

But yeah, there's intelligence just about

in every major city.

We just don't advertise that much.

Well, if he's undercover, Wazia the

Singles Dinner, I'd run mobster.

That's a real monster.

Well... That's a real monster.

That is a question that is not classified.

I am here possibly looking for the next

Miss John Zorn.

See, there's a problem of

having a bit of an issue, that

there's just too many beautiful

choices here to choose from.

I should not have said that.

My mom always told me

to not compliment a woman

on her beauty because it

makes her self-conscious.

Always start with their shoes.

Speaking of, come on Zane, let me get

under the table.

Excuse me.

We're having some high boots down here.

The stilettos at brunch.

Look,

I don't get out much, so this was fun for

me.

Me neither.

You sure made their day.

They made my day.

Truly.

I mean, I've never

been... This is you?

Oh, a super head.

Yeah.

I like it.

Alright, I'm getting my courage up.

I have two questions to ask you.

Two?

Just two?

No.

Here, give me the first one.

Go.

Um, you're g*y, right?

What?

I'm what?

You're g*y.

g*y?

No.

Are you kidding right now?

No.

No, I mean, look, I don't have anything

against...

You didn't sell that case, but like,

um, no.

Actually, no.

What made you think I was g*y?

You just seem like one of the girls.

Or like, you seem to love women's shoes.

No, that's not what I was.

Alright.

Alright, well that's a no, we can go

straight to pushing too.

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

I guess it hit me.

Um, um, would you like to go out with me?

On a date?

Okay.

Wow, you're a forward person.

I, uh...

Um, yes, I would very much, really very

much like to go out on a date with you.

I don't know.

Yes.

Yes is the answer to that.

Okay.

On three, um, next Saturday morning?

Perfect.

Oh, thank you.

Where do you live?

I live in a really boring, uh, government

building that's undisclosed and public.

How about this, um, let's meet at Freedom

Park.

Saturday morning, 8am.

Sounds like a, like a, oh, sounds like a

date.

It's a date.

So it's a date?

Okay.

Okay.

Bye.

Sorry, you were shaking

and I was going... sh*t.

Alright.

That was g*y.

Awesome.

Bye.

You're in really good shape.

Thanks, girl.

My ex, Jeffrey.

Yeah.

What?

Is that Jeffrey?

Yeah, that's my ex's name, Jeffrey.

Got it, right.

Yeah.

His name was Jeffrey.

Yeah, he was...

Horrible shape.

Like, we had no...

No.

It's just been a long time.

Oh, okay.

But we're not going to like it.

Good to know.

Yeah, I like people.

He didn't talk.

He just read more history novels on the

toilet.

What?

No, Jeffrey, that is gross.

Right?

He loves his books, but when

it comes to time for the girls

or homework or driving

lessons, it just doesn't show up.

It's stressful.

I just think you need a little bit more

fun in your life, to be honest.

How's it look?

Okay.

Do you want to go back to mine and have

some fun with him?

What?

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Yes, very much so.

Very much so, yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Mm-hmm.

Yep, now?

Yeah.

All right.

I thought you all was okay.

Tell me why you're doing this.

Her names are Dee and Lindsay.

Dee's 11.

She's pretty sensitive and creative.

She's fine.

I don't know.

She didn't let me cut her hair since she

was the baby.

She's one of those kids.

And then Lindsay's 16.

She has a sign on her door that says,

Emotionally Unavailable.

She also just got her carter's permit,

but refuses to drive, even though she

wants her free going, so...

That's where we're going.

Well, I'm a good driver.

You don't need to drive.

You don't have to.

We just met.

That's a good point.

That's a... Yeah, I know.

I just love kids.

Okay, well, maybe... Maybe you can

meet them sometime, and I don't know.

Maybe you could come over for pizza one

weekend.

Like a pizza party?

Do we have a pizza party?

On a pizza Saturday?

I haven't been out of the house,

let alone on a date, okay?

In a very long time.

I don't know if my girls are ready for,

you know, my mom to be dating just yet.

I get that.

We could still have a pizza party and just

make it totally normal.

I'm just a friend from church,

you know, to have us be a government spy.

Not a g*y one.

You know, not a g*y government

spy that just comes over and

wants to, you know, have pizza

with you and your daughters.

Yeah, just make it normal.

Okay.

You're not normal, John.

But... I like you.

You know what I'm talking about?

You just look like this old pawn.

Look at him.

Come by here.

There we go.

He's a man.

Wow, that's a lot of food.

Girls, this is my friend John.

John, he's there with my girl.

Hey, girls.

Hi, I'm John Zorn.

Your mom's a good friend from church.

You must be D.

That's short for dealing with?

Yeah.

We must be lending.

That's short for...

That's not short for anything at all,

actually.

Look, I've heard so much about you guys.

And one of the things

that I have heard is that

you, D, happen to be a

huge fan of Zelda like I am.

Is that true?

Yeah.

Is that right?

Good, because I got you this link,

though.

And another question.

Have you played Four Swords?

No.

It is so amazing and it comes with this

special controller that I'll teach you how

to use later until you can book my butt,

which you'll probably be able to do really

quickly because I hear you're like a Zelda

master.

Thanks.

Zelda works.

Ladies and gentlemen, you, I have an

assortment of very angsty teenage music

for your listening pleasure.

Thank you.

No, thank you.

Nice to meet you.

John Zorin, mom's friend from church.

Where are you going?

I don't know where.

It's okay.

Maybe it's not.

I mean, don't worry.

I also happen to have gotten you

something, Miss Lee.

Oh, so sweet.

I'm sorry about Lindsay.

I thought this might be hard for her.

Yeah.

I understand that.

Wait, where's the lunch?

Oh, okay.

Yep.

Eleven.

Half eleven.

Oh, come on, let us finish this.

Please.

Please.

She's like the best builder.

We're like 20 pieces away from here.

Yeah, please, mom.

She's so close.

Another time.

Okay.

Okay.

I have the best time with you.

Okay?

Okay.

It's late.

I was coming.

Tap on the window.

Tap on the window.

I don't know about tap on the window.

All right.

I'm ready to knock on the door.

When you're nice and true, you're all up.

When you feel down, you need some sympathy

to keep you from coming.

Remember, baby, I

want you to be I

want you to be home.

I

Reckon you may

wander and see you.

Actually, we should get an inflatable

lotus.

Hey, I'm not setting in this time,

okay?

You got to do it.

You got to do it.

You got to catch the bullying in the

notes, you know?

My man.

Oh, yes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I need to tell you something, Mitch.

Well, you better...

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

What?

What?

What do you say?

Hey.

I want to tell you...

No.

No.

My mom used to tell me, Be careful with

what you touch.

She said that moving one grain of sand

changes everything in the whole universe.

I think people call it the butterfly

effect.

That just one butterfly

flap in its wings can

make a hurricane on

the other side of the world.

And before we know

it, we're banging into

each other's paths and

changing what happens.

Are you sure you want bangs?

Sure.

It's a big change.

The thing is about bangs, there's only

about one in a thousand people that

actually look at the

bangs, but the good news

is I think that you

might be one of them.

Oh, God.

No one notices the butterfly flap in its

wings until everyone feels the storm.

I knew a storm was coming.

I knew if I stayed in my place too long,

eventually someone would recognize me.

I knew I had to leave.

I just didn't want to go alone.

If you think you could

ever move somewhere else,

a beach or something,

start over at a new place.

Well, John, I need to come back here,

you know.

You take the girls and just pack them and

go.

That's... I can't see that.

I can't see that.

My life is here, John.

Let me see you, John.

Oh, no.

Don't speak.

Don't speak.

I know what you're...

Our memories.

They can be invited, but some are

ironically enticing, right?

What the f*ck?

f*ck!

Good

news is you have surveillance cameras.

Yes.

Bad news?

Yes.

Is none of them all recording?

You need to fix that.

Now, besides the naked guy, have you noticed

anything strange happening around here?

Well, we're missing a lot of gaming

inventory.

What's a lot of people?

A substantial amount.

You're gonna have to get some real

security in here, b*tch.

But Storm Manager,

Mitch Hagan, says he did

not expect to see what

he saw this morning.

A strong, very tall, naked man.

A naked guy ran at me,

think he was gonna k*ll

me, and I ran away,

locked myself in my office.

When I asked if the naked man would scare

off holiday shoppers, Mr. Hagan said he

was hiring round-the-clock security.

We have a really good security system here

now.

For sure, families can go safe.

This is a safe place to come from

Christmas.

Okay, that's great.

Hi.

Hi.

We're almost ready to go.

Lord, we want to thank you for this

wonderful food, and we want to thank you

for the gift of family.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes.

Why don't you tell us all that story about

the naked man?

It's nothing, y'all.

It was cold outside, and a homeless man

needed six showers.

But what if he's also a k*ller?

He's... Stop being over-commatic.

He's not a k*ller.

Your mom's totally right.

He's definitely not a k*ller.

You don't know that, John.

Well, if he wasn't a k*ller, you'd have

k*lled him, right?

The paper said today that it was $10,000

in video games, don't it?

I don't know.

That's a coincidence.

Well, I don't know.

Maybe you should quit.

You and the masters agree, and I don't

think it's worth the risk.

Seems scary over there.

That sounds like the worst idea,

actually.

Wait, hold on.

Earlier, you just made it seem like it

wasn't dangerous.

So it's not dangerous then why does she

have to quit so suddenly?

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

Did I say she had to quit?

I don't think it did, actually.

I think I was just agreeing with Lindsay

down here.

I was just saying here that Lindsay

actually has a great idea.

If she wants to quit, then she would have

more time with her girls.

I don't know.

Let's not get too serious, because...

It's kind of funny, isn't it?

Just going to work, just a normal day,

and then you see the naked guy.

Hey, Lindsay has a joint door.

We want to get a child there, actually.

Yeah, I do think it's really funny,

that dress.

I don't think it's funny, Rowan.

I think it's sad.

I mean, someone so desperate they had to

bathe in a toy store sink.

While we eat and laugh about it,

I mean, maybe we aren't disnarratins.

Maybe you aren't making the best

decisions.

Excuse me?

Choosing to work there while

Dee and I are home alone,

waiting for someone to

pick us up to take us places?

Like, whoa, whoa.

If we're being honest, you're old enough

to drive yourself.

I don't have a license.

I would teach you, okay?

I can't even sit in a car with you.

And now that dad's all

here, you bring around

this weirdo, and we're

supposed to just accept it?

I hope the sex is worth it.

Hey, hey, hey.

When?

Sorry.

Hello?

Hi.

Hi.

It's almost a December 1st, and we had a

conversation a few months back.

I should call back on December 1st.

Yeah, call back.

Okay, can you just wake him up for me?

Just tell him it's got smell.

We're in search.

Baby?

Mm.

It's your cousin's cousin-in-law.

Tell him I'm sweet.

He says... He's

asleep, and then...

Yeah, Sunday.

Okay, great.

Is he still in the van?

No, no, no.

Two minutes.

Okay.

One, two, three, four.

Two, three, four.

Save the bus.

He says don't be a f*cking dumbass and

take the bus.

Yep.

Tell him, Sarge, I'll take care of that,

and I'll see him on Sunday as couple.

Good morning.

Hi.

Good morning.

You didn't tell me I had to take a trip.

You weren't supposed to hear that.

Okay.

It's not a big deal.

I just have to go and just check in.

That's all.

Good morning, Lindsey.

Good morning, me.

Good morning, B.

Everybody wants to say good morning?

Good morning, John.

All right, who wants to apologize first?

No?

You?

Come on, guys, let's go.

Nobody has anything to say to each other.

The family's fine.

That's fine, but they also make up.

Come on.

I'm sorry for the way I've been acting,

Lindsey.

Great work.

I shouldn't have said the thing about sex

in front of you.

Yeah, and... And?

You got it.

And I need a ride to Doug's.

You weren't getting a ride anywhere.

Do you have any idea how much she

embarrassed me last night?

Angers to you?

John, will you drive me?

You do not get to abuse him and then ask

him for favors.

It's okay.

I don't mind driving.

No, but stay out of this, John.

She doesn't mind.

If she wants to go somewhere, she can

learn to drive.

I'm not driving in that car with that

spaceship with you ever.

Well, then I guess you'll never go

anywhere again.

No, turn around.

Ever.

Turn around.

Sorry.

Can I ask my mom to drive me places

because she's my mother?

Okay, stop.

I have an idea, okay?

I have an idea.

Hear me out.

It's a great idea.

We need a beater.

What do you think that's a beater,

John?

It's nice seats, right?

The line cars still have the same feet.

It's kind of like the Golden Era.

The 90s.

It'll make line cars like this.

These seats are like so fast.

Are you guys going to go?

Yeah.

Are these cups right here?

Oh, no, no, no.

Nobody's going to stop.

He's going to push it just a little bit.

Okay.

He's got some horsepower.

Okay.

It makes me sick.

Okay.

Hey, stop.

Watch out.

Slow down.

It's a used car.

Slow down.

Slow down.

Slow down.

You guys okay?

m*therf*cker!

Alright, good.

What's wrong with you, man?

What's wrong?

No, no, get up.

Get down.

Get down.

I'm driving a bike.

Get up here.

You're driving.

No, no.

She can't drive.

She can drive.

No, give me the keys right now.

Stop.

Calm down.

Okay.

How do you teach a kid this way?

You throw him in the water.

Alright.

If you want her to drive, we got to let

her drive.

Yeah, don't leave me.

Does she have a license?

She has a permit.

No, you cannot test drive.

What a permit.

Listen, I'm going to purchase this car.

If the young lady approves.

And I'm going to pay cash.

How's that sound to you?

I'll let you hold it.

Come on.

Yes.

Get up here.

You're driving.

Alright.

Seat belts.

Safety first.

Alright, this is not a manual

transmission.

This is an automatic.

So much easier.

You can just forget about your left foot.

It's all right foot.

So put your right foot on that brake right

there.

Is that the big pedal?

Yeah, push it all the way in.

All the way in real firm.

Okay, now you're going to take your right

hand.

You're going to pull that towards you and

down to D.

Perfect.

Now let it go.

Back at two.

You're not going to worry about the gas.

You're just going to use your foot off the

brake.

And we're just going to move forward.

That's it.

Take big breaths.

You got it.

Come on.

You got it.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Yep, yep, yep.

Big smile.

One more, one more.

Now let's pretend you're down.

Let's crash the car.

All right.

Hey, great, great stuff, guys.

Thank you very much.

You're a better driver than him.

That's true, actually.

I feel really, really safe with you.

So, good job.

Yeah.

All right.

Thank you.

Congrats, man.

You girls wait in the car while I talk to

John for just like a minute here.

Okay.

Okay.

We gotta beat him.

Yeah, we gotta beat him.

I have to say, I just don't like that

driving.

Right.

I'm sorry, I know.

I should have done that.

Yeah.

But Lindsay was a really, really good

first time driver, wasn't she?

She was great.

Yeah.

She did so good.

And I don't know.

I think she started to like me.

They both like you.

They really like you, okay?

I like you.

Just slow it down a little bit,

okay?

Okay.

And we don't need so many things,

John.

We just want you.

Just be you.

Be normal.

I almost love normal.

All right.

You take your trip, and when you come

back, we'll have a few normal nights, okay?

No more step driving, I promise.

Oh, gosh.

I love your car.

I love your car.

It's okay.

See you very, very soon.

Okay.

Hi.

Cousin Allen, do you have a seat?

Oh, it's a little early.

Hi, Steve.

How you doing?

Looking all good here.

Hello, hello.

Yeah, I knew you'd show up at the crack of

dawn if I didn't give you a time.

Welcome home, Sarge.

All right.

Yeah, all right, it's enough of you.

Damn, you look clean, m*therf*cker that's

on the roof.

I'm trying.

Drink this hard down there.

Church, you know I can't tell you that.

Seriously, where are you hiding out at?

I can't tell you that.

You ain't got no contact, right?

You ain't talking to nobody, okay?

Because you know if you are, I can't help

you.

No, I'm not going to do that.

You good?

I'm good.

I'm good.

Keep your eyes on me, then.

Why you keep darting on the roof?

I'm not darting.

You sure you're all right?

Okay.

We're going to need to change that hair

before we take the photo.

Baby, what you think?

We die for the museum.

I think we do a wick.

Yeah, don't worry, Jeff, you'll still be

here.

But here, I'm Brad Pitt.

I'm Brad Pitt.

Oh my God.

Baby, are you serious about the painting?

I'm... This is a bandit drama.

Oh my God.

Baby, come on.

You got a f*cking kidney.

Say hi, baby.

I don't know.

There you go.

That's good, right?

Yeah.

Does this one feel good to you?

Mm-hmm.

Feels like you could be this person for a

while.

Mm-hmm.

You ready?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Stop with the damn smile.

The f*ck you doing?

No, yeah.

I'm serious.

It's like a... it's your passport.

You know, you're not a live smile.

Okay.

One, two, three.

Greet your sh*t.

It's better than that.

All of it.

All right.

It's going to be the new you.

Kenneth Owen Griffin.

Born July 7th, 1974, from Lumberton,

North Carolina.

I'm going to get all your documents.

Don't worry about sh*t.

Transfer's records.

I have it all done.

Okay.

What are you thinking, man?

Okay.

No.

Not really.

Morten?

How much?

You think I don't know what you're doing,

huh?

You probably got a girlfriend,

don't you?

What?

No.

Yeah, you don't.

Yeah, you don't.

Yeah, you're not good at this sh*t.

Couldn't what sh*t?

Being a criminal, n*gga.

Let me tell you something.

Good criminals are cold.

Calculated.

You understand?

Now, you got the calculation down,

but, man, you're just goofy.

The price?

It's going to be $50,000.

All right?

$50,000.

Yeah, $50,000.

All right.

You owe a lot of risk, man.

Can you do it?

Okay.

Yeah.

How are you going to do it?

I'll get it.

I'll get it.

If you're thinking about using a g*n,

do me a favor.

Stay the f*ck off the TV.

Roof, man.

You understand what I'm saying?

Don't do anything stupid.

Ninety percent of our annual sales happens

in the next two weeks.

Think about that.

There's going to be a lot of money coming

in, and we need to be ready for it.

Considering our recent setbacks,

I think we're doing pretty good.

You should be proud.

Come on.

Come on, guys.

Come on.

But the ball game starts now.

So the store is safe, and the family is

still safe.

Because if our customers have a good

Christmas, then so do we.

You are so functional, my friend.

I like it.

Your job is to sell toys.

It's going to be

a little bit there.

We're going to open early and stay open

late every day this Christmas season.

I post with a new schedule.

Now, I know some of you are going to have

shifts they don't want.

But there's no exceptions, no changes.

You show up when your name is on the

schedule.

And let's have a happy Christmas.

I like that.

You look like a Christmas super villain.

Yeah, I am a Christmas super villain.

You're driving, though.

I'm driving?

You are driving.

Okay.

Oh, sh*t.

You are so much stuff.

Mom's going to freak out.

Yeah, she's going to freak out with joy.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Mom.

Here we go.

Who's ready to go?

Hey, guys.

I can't go to church tonight.

I have to wake up super early.

I have a shift tomorrow.

Then I have good news for you.

Mitch called and he's going to be a nice

guy once you sleep in.

Mitch called.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

I said 10.30.

10.30?

Yeah.

10.30 to 4.30.

What?

I mean, yeah.

I don't know.

I mean, maybe he knows that you have a

family.

And he wants you to be able to spend the

holidays with them.

Hey, Mom.

Hi.

How's your birthday?

Good.

Hi.

Well, she said there was no room.

No room.

No room.

No room.

No room.

We're going to have to go to the bus.

Well, no time.

Well, say you're going to leave on.

Say you're going

to leave on Jesus.

No room.

No room.

Oh,

it's back to work.

Am I playing that nursery, would you?

Like I told you to?

Hello, okay.

Hello, sir.

Good morning.

Tony's a Russian boy.

He's allowing me to leave.

You guys are knowing we've got an alarm

going off right there.

Everybody this way.

You're coming with me.

Hello, b*stard.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Please keep your head away from your g*n,

sir.

Get on your stomach.

You two, come here.

No one's gonna get hurt, but everybody

just does what I say.

It's on your stomach.

Otis, here, zip tie everybody up.

Otis, come on.

Ah, Jesus Christ.

Miss, zip tie everybody up, okay?

Get on your stomach, eyes down.

What did I say?

On your stomach.

Get down.

Don't do this right now.

Hey, hey, what did I say?

That wasn't my fault.

It's a bad listener.

Everybody take a breath, Mitch.

Give me one of those.

Thank you, sir.

Come on, miss.

Let's get a hot one.

Let's go.

We'll get sorry.

Guys, everybody just calm down.

I'm sorry about this.

Mitch, get the keys.

Come on.

Let's go to the sink.

No, there's no money here.

There's no sink.

You think I don't know the desert deposit

that you take to the bank every Tuesday?

Oh, come on, please.

You're okay.

Eyes down.

Eyes down.

Sorry about this, guys.

We'll be all over in a second.

Come on.

You do this every day.

Calm down.

Come on.

Here we go.

Good job.

Eyes down.

Just find the key.

Eyes down out there.

Yes, put it in.

Put it in.

Safe and open it.

Take the bag out.

Put it down.

I need you to take the e-mail out.

If I do that, I don't know.

Now, I need to do it quick.

You set it right back up really fast,

okay?

Okay.

Okay, good.

You need the ambulance.

You said you weren't going to hurt anyone,

but you were.

I didn't touch the police.

Notice.

I can't see.

You need to hear me.

This dog is having a pushover,

huh?

All right, Otis.

Fine.

I'm calling 911, okay?

Charlie!

Did you see any part of the skin?

Or any other color?

I could tell he was a white man.

Did you see a knife?

This is f*cking fantastic, Jim.

You're a f*cking nut.

You know that?

It's f*cking great, baby.

You see this?

Yeah.

Okay, let's see.

This is your North Carolina-issued

driver's license, all right?

At your passport.

Don't arise.

First certificate.

You got your check stubs from your last

job.

Oh, and there is your ticket.

You're leaving at 11 p.m.

out of Charlotte.

Now, what you're going

to do is layover in Miami,

and then you're going

to fly to Barriquilla.

From there, you're

going to take a little bus

and drive to Venezuela

before the weekend's off.

Looks like I got everything I needed.

This is the sign to go tomorrow.

This eye?

You already made your decision,

man, but you told me.

I mean, you can't expect me to go on

Christmas, right?

Can't I just stay Ohio when I was laid

low?

That's not a choice you have, Jim.

You got to leave tomorrow.

I got people waiting on you, man.

I got a security guy in Miami.

He'll be here tomorrow in three.

And you got one shot, man.

11 p.m.

tomorrow.

Don't miss this shot, all right?

Baby, let's get this wig on.

You bet.

One more thing I was thinking about.

I saw on the TV there was some sh*t about

an armed robbery.

I don't know nothing about that.

I need your thumbs.

You know, you got to cover your tracks,

Jim.

Yeah, everything you touch.

I need you to really

think about who you talk

to, who talked to you,

who knows your voice.

I'm over a cliff with you, man.

You understand that, right?

So, a dozen.

How are doctors visits?

One of the dentists got some cavities,

Phil.

That's it.

Okay.

You ain't getting no x-rays.

No, I got x-rays, but I gave him a fake

name.

Okay.

Well, it don't really matter if you gave

him a fake name.

They got your teeth, Jim.

All right.

Yeah, I'll take care of it.

Any message you made, you clean it up.

Then you go straight to the airport and

wait for your flight.

No getting on the news, no goodbyes to

anyone you said hello to.

It means no postcards, no calls,

no nothing.

You see, we had a good run.

And after all this stuff calms down,

I get settled over there.

You think you can tell some people where

I'm at?

Maybe there's a reason for that.

No, no, no.

It's not that bad.

Nobody come and see you, Jim.

You start knowing.

You're on your own, man.

I was just about to call you.

Is everything okay?

I'm driving.

Why don't you just put it on?

Fine.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

Yeah, well, I miss it.

I thought I'd be honest, it sounds great.

Yeah, I'll be there.

You're there.

You're okay.

I can't even breathe in.

See?

Merry Christmas.

Do not move.

Do it good.

Don't move.

We say you won't get hurt, do you

understand me?

Got him.

Nuh-uh, don't move, kid.

Don't move.

Trauma's over.

What's your name?

Sir, he's a frickin' m*therf*cker.

Come here.

Sir, come good.

I probably let myself get caught.

Or maybe I just couldn't leave without

saying goodbye.

They threw the book at me.

Gave me 384 more months.

That means by the time I get out of here,

I'll be an old man.

Gave me a lot of time to think about my

life.

Everything.

When I was out there in

the world, I wasn't thinking

of the things or people

that I was putting at risk.

Now that's all I think about.

We all like to go back in

time to imagine how things

could have gone differently

if we made different choices.

Like right now, I was imagining

what it would have been like

if I never committed all those

crimes and lost my family.

Or if I got to keep on living with Lee and

her girls forever.

Sure, they'd boss me around a little and

make me go to church.

But they'd laugh at my dumb

jokes and forgive me when I was

on the wrong part of cold

and calculating for something.

I started to realize

that all those people I

loved didn't need me to

give them so many things.

They just needed me.

My time.

And now that's all I have.

Time.

It all could have gone a different way,

for sure.

But it didn't.

It went this way.

And that was okay with me.

Because in here, I can't hurt anybody

anymore.

Yeah, I'm where I'm supposed to be.

You ever think about it?

Or, you know, break it out of this place?

No, no.

This is my homework.

You don't have to admit, brother.

Like, the low story part was really good.

And I am curious, did you ever see Lee

again?

Hi.

Hi.

Should I call you Jeffrey?

Just another Jeffrey in your life,

I guess, yeah.

How's Lindsey and Dee?

They're okay.

Yeah.

Did Dee keep her bangs?

She did.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry that I hurt you.

I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.

You don't have anything to be sorry about,

but...

You told me that you didn't hurt anybody.

I just told the truth.

Yeah.

I was really angry at you.

I was most angry at how you hurt the

girls.

But that's not the way I think about it

now.

Okay.

I think about it as an adventure.

We had a lot of fun.

We're thankful.

Well, maybe I'll come visit you sometime.

Can we tap on my window?

Maybe I'll just knock on the door.
