A Dark Way Out (2023) Movie Script

Hey, Stan!
- Yeah?
- Ahh!
What do you got?
I've got some good stuff today.
Got some good stuff.
Look at that.
Look at that.
What are we lookin' at, buddy?
High four, five figures?
Well, let's see.
Come on, Stan!
- You're killin' me.
- Slow down!
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll give you 300.
300?
- Yeah.
- Come on, Stan!
Look at this!
Look at those rocks!
That's at least a grand, at least.
Yeah, that's cubic zirconia.
And this is a green stone.
It's not an emerald.
All I can do is 300.
I can throw in a burger
and a coke next door at
Charlie's, if you want?
On me.
Deal.
There's one, two, three.
Can you break one
of these hundreds for me?
That's right, I know the routine.
There you go, my friend.
Hey, what about we do five?
Did he say anything after that?
He said, "If somebody calls
out, he'll give me a spot".
So basically, I'm on standby,
but I'm not holding my breath.
Yeah, with all the
development in the city,
you'd think a contractor with your skills
would be in high demand.
You are if you have your license.
I mean, they're really crackin' on
on hirin' help without protection, so.
Yeah, you know what you gotta do.
When's the next time
you can take that test?
Look, I don't wanna talk about that.
Come on, third time's a charm!
Stan, what part of I
don't wanna talk about it
don't you understand?
Yeah, well, fine,
but, you know, this hustling thing,
it hasn't been gettin' you anywhere, what?
In the last three years
you're pullin' jobs?
In case you haven't noticed,
you're not any good at it.
Hey!
Fine to lie.
You've just been lucky.
Sooner or later, you get caught.
Everyone does.
You think it's hard gettin' a gig now?
Wait till your name's in the system.
I'm just telling you what I know.
They don't have an old folks
home for thieves, just jail,
and that's no place to retire.
I'm just lookin' out for you.
I know.
I appreciate you, Stan.
I do.
- Your turn, old man.
- Yeah.
- I'll be right back.
- Maybe think about
what I said.
I don't recall
giving you a plus-one
with this invite?
Excuse me?!
Listen!
This is Mac, all right?
Don't worry about him.
I know he looks a little mean,
but he's really just a
little, old pussy cat.
Hey, Justine.
Hey, Ant!
Here's your usual,
and one for the shitty tipper.
- I'll have one over here.
- All right.
Gotcha.
Shitty tipper.
- Looks that way.
- Cheers.
Cheers.
Okay, so tell me, how'd we do?
Okay.
$30?
Are you for real?
Oh, damn, man!
The old lady sprung for two
first class tickets to Aruba.
Five star resort.
Just because somebody sprung
for a first class ticket
doesn't always mean they
got first class money.
Everything I boosted was fake.
If the cleanin' lady hadn't come in,
maybe I would've found something good.
Maybe.
The cleaning lady walked in on you?
What did you do?
Girl, you know my motto.
Yeah, always have another way out.
That's right.
I can't keep riskin'
my ass for lunch money.
I think we gotta put a pause
on these tips of yours.
Shut it down for a while.
All right, okay, hold on, all right?
Before you go breakin' up the band...
No, not interested.
Yes, you are.
You just don't know it yet.
Now, this right here, this
is the big one, all right?
This is a type of score
we have been waiting for.
Now, I admit, okay, it's
a bit of a hike, right?
But this house right here
is owned by Wayne Cummings.
He's the biggest fucking
commercial real estate developer
in the region!
Someone like that,
security's gotta be state-of-the-art.
My great uncle lives
up there, all right?
It ain't nothin' that you can't handle.
Yeah, okay, they fuckin'
patrol the neighborhood,
but the community's so large,
they can only check on
each house every two hours.
You will be in and out
before they even know
that you were there.
Yeah, it's too risky.
Okay, do I really need to remind you
that you are in for 10
large to my associates?
Look, I've been making
my payments every month.
This ain't Marshall's
fuckin' layaway here!
Do you understand that
you owe some serious...
You owe some serious fuckin' money
to some serious fuckin' people.
You got my name mixed up in
all of this shit with you.
You know what?
I lied, mm-hmm.
You should be worried about Mac.
They sent him over here with
me as a message for you,
and the only reason
that he ain't got your
balls in a vice right now
is because of this,
because I convinced them that
this job right fuckin' here
would get you from up under them.
Hell, you know what?
It might even put your ass on top.
Shit!
What the fuck else do we
really have to discuss here?
I'll check it out and call you.
You just make sure you fuckin' deliver.
That girl's trouble.
Well, Stan,
that's what they used to say about me.
Well, they were right.
Exactly.
But you didn't listen, why should I?
Oh, I truly pray your daughter's head
isn't as hard as her papa's.
Shit!
I'm supposed to get
Sheanetta from school today.
Hey, I'll see you later, old man?
- Yeah.
- All right!
All right.
- I'm here, I'm here!
- You
Tasha.
Mrs. Stapleton, I thought we had a deal?
On my pickup days,
if there was any problems, you'd call me?
I did several times.
You didn't answer.
Well, I mean, in my line of work,
there are times where we
can't pick up the phone,
and I didn't get a mess...
Yep, it's right here.
Pickup time was over an hour ago.
I had no choice but to call Ms. Oliver.
I'm truly sorry.
Oh, no, it's not your fault!
Not your fault.
Oh, just a reminder,
we still have not received.
Sheanetta's tuition for
the current quarter.
We will need that within the
week, if she's to continue.
That's my bad.
I'll get it taken care of.
Tasha!
Tasha!
You haven't even
paid our daughter's tuition?!
Tasha, I'm tryin' here!
How?
How are you trying?
Have you gotten a place yet?
Have you taken the
contractor's license test yet?
Please help me to understand
where you are tryin'!
- Tasha, come on!
- I am done
with letting my daughter
stay in some dude's house
while you're crashed on the couch.
And don't get it twisted,
I make the rules, not you!
I know you help a little here and there,
but it ain't always about the money!
Your daughter needs a
father who is not gonna run
every chance he faces something
that he can't handle easily!
And I can't do this by myself!
You know what?
I got offered an executive chef position
in a restaurant back home,
and I'm gonna take it,
if you can't get your shit together!
Tasha, Tasha, Tasha!
Look.
I will.
I will.
And I have something for you.
What?
Okay, really, what is that?
What is that?
What?
It smells good, and I
thought you'd like it.
Okay, why is it open?
And...
Wait!
James, are you drunk?
What?
- No!
- I can smell the
alcohol on your breath!
Look, okay, if you must know,
I had a couple celebratory
drinks with Stan.
Only because I have a lead
on a potentially very big job
with one of the biggest
commercial real estate guys
in the region.
I didn't wanna say anything
until it was a done deal,
but it's looking good for me.
Okay, I hope you get it.
Thanks.
Your daughter misses you,
and I don't wanna take
away your weekend, okay?
So look, just...
You have church Sunday morning,
so just don't keep her up
- too late Saturday.
- Oh, I'm gonna have
to work Saturday night.
Okay, you know what?
- You're unbelievable.
- But
I'm sorry.
We're good for our ice cream
date Saturday afternoon.
Okay, fine, fine!
Just have her home by
seven so she can shower.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Mm-hmm.
Hey, gremlin.
Oh, that's what we're doin', huh?
The silent treatment.
Well, the thing is, I was
gonna see if you can help me.
See, I'm lookin' for this
very, very funny lookin' girl.
She has these really big eyes,
and she has this head that
won't fit in the back of a car.
And the thing is, is
she's very, very ticklish.
Okay, okay, stop!
Are you and Mom done fighting?
We weren't fighting.
We were just having a
passionate exchange of ideas.
And I wonder why?
You were late again, buddy.
I know, I'm sorry.
I'll make it up to you.
A double scoop?
I'm gonna need a waffle cone.
A waffle cone?
Goin' big!
That's the price you pay
for leavin' me hangin'.
All right, waffle cone it is.
I got you.
Sheanetta, get in the car.
Here, your daddy gave you this.
I love you, gremlin!
That's when you're supposed to say,
"I love you too, hobbit",
and then you start laughin'.
Dad, I'm almost a teenager.
So what you think?
Yeah, you were right.
Security appears to be pretty basic.
I installed one just like it
on the remodel I did last year.
Good.
Like I said, right?
An easy in and out.
I hope so.
I have 30 seconds once I'm
in to disable the alarm.
Fingers crossed the factory
kill codes still work.
They better.
Yeah, I'll
hit you when I'm done.
Ralph, to dispatch.
Go ahead, Ralph.
Hey, Mary!
I didn't know you worked Saturdays?
Must be my lucky day.
Oh, is that right?
Yeah, you know you're my favorite.
We both know you say
the same thing to Patricia
when she's working.
No way, ask her!
I'm going to.
How's it goin' out there?
Ooh, it's cold.
That's why I brought my seat warmer.
Gotta keep my buns nice and cozy.
You're just a little too much.
And then some.
Everything okay on the east quarter.
Thanks, Ralph.
Ralph out.
Or should I call you hot buns?
Yeah!
All right!
Wayne Cummings.
Yes!
What the...
Put this shit in here.
Take all of this.
She was right.
Thank you, Wayne.
Psshoo!
Don't mind if I do.
Listen, lady.
Where is the safe?
Please, I don't know
what you're talking about.
- Let go of me!
- Calm down!
- No!
- Calm down!
Uncle Gary's gonna take care of you.
Ain't nothin' to be afraid of.
Come on now.
- Stop, stop, stop, no!
- Oh, yeah.
No, no, stop!
- Stop, stop!
- Clam down.
- No, let go!
- Calm down!
- Stop, stop!
- I don't wanna hurt you.
No!
Somebody help, no!
No, stop!
Gary has a way with the young ones.
Now, give us the safe,
and you won't have to hear that screaming.
Please?
- Don't let him hurt her.
- No.
Please?
You can stop this at any time.
Just tell us what we need to know.
- Oh, yeah.
- Stop, no!
- You're a feisty one.
- Stop, no!
- Stop, stop!
- Calm down.
Let me go!
Stop!
Help!
- Stop!
- And I will!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Close the door!
Yeah, okay, okay, okay!
Where the fuck did
you come from, huh, huh?
What the fuck was on that towel, huh?
You gonna poison me?
Please, go check on my
granddaughter, please?
She's just a little girl.
Yeah, I'm sure she's
a grown woman by now.
Where is the safe?
Are you soft in the head, hmm?
How many times do I have to
tell you the same damn thing?
If there was a safe, I
would've told you by now,
just to get your disgusting
breath outta my face!
Yeah.
Ooh!
Let's see if these fake nails
have dirt underneath.
Enough!
- She doesn't know anything.
- Hey, hey!
I say when enough is enough.
- Understand?!
- Yeah.
And you man the fuck up
and go find the goddamn safe!
Where's the safe?
What are you doing?
We gotta move!
But my grandma's still in there.
I know, I know.
Look, I can't get a signal,
and we have to follow these red
markers until the main road,
and we can send help.
She's not gonna make it that long.
Once they see that I'm
gone, they'll kill her!
Not till they get what they want.
If we're lucky, she'll keep them guessin'.
By the time we get to the main road,
we can get somebody and send help.
I'm not trusting my
grandma's life to luck.
Look, I used my hero card up on you,
so let's go!
I didn't wanna say this
in front of him, Officer,
but yes, he's one of
the guys that took us.
What?
I'm not with them.
I don't know that.
Look, I was just joggin'
by, I heard you scream.
I just saved your life.
But you left my grandma in there to die!
No, I didn't.
Hey, we're lucky not to
be in there with her.
So let's go.
Yes, Officer, he threatened to hurt us.
He also tried to take advantage of me.
Wait, what?
Oh, you wouldn't.
Your daughter needs a father
who is not gonna run
every chance he faces something
that he can't handle easily!
The hell are you?
I'm Everette.
Who are you?
Don't worry about it.
Fine.
Then what do I call you, friend?
No.
Criminal?
Hell, no!
- Stranger?
- James.
Just call me James.
If we're gonna do this
little stunt of yours,
we gotta think ahead,
in case we need to make a run for it.
Always have a way out.
Exactly.
Use the elements to our advantage.
Are there any tools in the house?
My grandpa has lots
of tools in the garage.
We could get there
without even getting
too close to the house.
It's this way.
Come on.
What the hell have I got myself into?
You take the main level.
I'll go downstairs.
What's up with your boy, huh?
What does he think he is?
That's just Sebastian.
He's uptight.
More so on this job than
most, for whatever reason.
Well, I don't trust him.
I told you he was an asshole
when I brought you in on this.
But I've done a lot of
jobs with this dude.
He's always kept it straight.
So if he says there's a huge score here,
you better believe it.
So just be cool till we
get our split, all right?
Fine.
But we better keep our
eyes open, all right?
You watch my back and I'll watch yours.
That hasn't changed since day one.
I got you!
But it's all good.
We're good.
Yeah?
Come on!
Your scary ass, come on.
Yeah.
Here, grab this.
Be careful.
Okay, let's go.
There's four guys.
You've met one already.
He's the weirdo of the crew.
Out of the other three,
the scary one is the leader.
He's very aggressive.
The other two didn't say much.
There's a bigger guy.
He seems like the most
low key out of them all.
And a squirrelly Asian guy.
I think they called him Freddy.
He's kind of nervous.
Wow, I'm impressed.
Always be aware of your surroundings.
Number one rule of espionage.
What did I just say?
It hurts, right?
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
- Yeah, it does.
Yeah.
Okay, what's next?
You draw them away
from your grandmother,
it'd give you guys time
to get to your panic room.
Panic room?
We don't have a panic room.
No.
I thought all rich
people had a panic room?
Okay, plan B.
This house was built in the late 1950s.
The air ducts,
I wouldn't have any access
points to crawl through.
And if the security cameras weren't down,
I would have a way of seein'
in without bein' seen, so.
I actually think I can
help you with that part.
I have a few cameras of my
own placed around the house,
just so I can check in on my
grandparents from time to time,
'cause, you know, adults
never tell kids anything.
If we can get to my iPad,
we can have eyes in every single room.
Oh, great!
Well, where's your iPad?
That's the thing,
it's inside in my hideout.
But if we can get there
without being caught,
I mean, they'll never find us.
My grandpa helped me build it.
It's risky, but it's
the only play we have.
What is that goon doing to my Everette?
Well, if he hurts one hair on her head,
I will kill him and you both!
This...
Is vinegar.
And this is hydrochloric acid.
Now...
One more time.
Where is the safe?
We don't have a safe!
Okay.
Listen, here, you little rich bitch!
I'm sick and tired of your little games.
Now, you're gonna call your husband,
and he's gonna tell you
exactly where the safe is,
or else he's gonna watch your skin peel
from your fucking skull!
He won't answer.
He's in the air halfway to Dubai.
Look, I would be with him if my daughter
hadn't gotten a last minute business trip.
Please, please, please?
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Here.
Call him.
I've got no service.
Try again.
Let's go.
Put it on speaker.
This is Wayne Cummings.
I'm currently out of the country.
If you could please leave a message
- with my secretary.
- Hang up!
I told you.
How 'bout this?
I got service.
It's not goin' through.
How far is this hiding place?
It's in my closet.
Your closet?
You'll see.
Okay.
Girl, I ain't goin' to a closet.
We won't go to the police.
Just take whatever you want and go.
Who else knows about the safe?
My husband doesn't
keep anything from me.
If there was a safe, I'd know about it.
Yo, Gary!
Oh, fuck!
There's somebody in the house.
What?
There's someone in the house!
- Get up.
- No!
What is it you think is in this safe?
Maybe I can help you find it?
Bring my granddaughter to me, please.
Oh, does it have to be that tight?
Look, I've got poor
circulation in my hands.
- I can't even feel them.
- Just shut the fuck up, lady!
It's all fucked up.
We have to go!
Calm down.
Somebody jumped Gary
and took the little girl.
Someone else in the house?
What?
No!
Where's Everette?
No, where's your husband?
Don't lie to me.
I'm not lying.
He's in the air.
Where is my granddaughter?!
Hey, she ain't lyin', man.
The guy that jumped me,
he was young and Black.
Look, we're wasting
our time with this old hag.
Let's just take what we
got and get outta here.
I don't know where
you got things confused.
We're not leaving until
we find what we came for.
Freddy's right, man!
The cops could be on their way right now.
No, not without this.
It blocks every signal
within a one mile radius.
Listen, guys, we've got eyes out front,
so we know no one came out that way.
The only way out is
through the woods out back.
So get your ass out there and find him.
And you, stop being a little bitch,
and do your job.
Where's Craig?
Man, I don't know.
- I'll go find him.
- No, no, no, no!
I'll go find him.
You just go find the safe.
What about her?
She's not going anywhere.
Most of them are empty.
It's just for camouflage.
Panic room?
You're officially the third person
to know about this room.
How do you feel?
Very cool.
You ready?
Okay, let's see.
Oh, shit!
Don't worry.
He'll never find it.
This one's right outside, right?
Yeah.
It's there in case anyone
comes looking for me
while I'm in here.
And how come
this one's not workin'?
I don't usually keep that one on.
It's in my grandparents' room,
and I'm not supposed to
invade people's privacy.
But I have it in there
just in case something happens, you know?
Mmm, somethin' like what?
Well...
My friend's grandma had a heart attack.
She was alone.
No one was there to see it or to help her.
So I have it in there, just in case.
If they ever need me, it's like I'm there,
but I'm not really there, you know?
So I can check in on them.
Let's see.
It's okay.
Hey.
It's okay.
We can see her.
Okay?
She's alive and doin' good.
If you didn't have a camera in there,
we'd be wonderin' what's goin' on.
You did good.
Really good.
All right, let's see,
what we workin' with?
So Miss Everette, tell me,
how'd you get into this spy stuff?
Well, I stay with my grandparents a lot
because my mom travels for work,
so they wanted to get me into
things that they were into.
So for my grandma, that
was soccer and softball.
She was a national champion in college.
For my grandpa,
it was all those old spy movies,
like "Mission Impossible",
and "James Bond" and "Jason Bourne".
Hey, hey, hey, "Jason
Bourne" is not old.
It kinda is.
Nah, no, it's not.
Yeah.
Uuhh, is it?
Yeah.
Anyway...
But my favorite one is "Nikita".
She's just so cool, and such a badass,
and doesn't take shit from anyone.
Hey, hey, language!
Sorry, kind of a force of habit.
I have a daughter your age.
You remind me of her.
She's smart and fearless.
And a badass?
Yes, and a badass, and modest.
Sorry.
That's Beth Anne.
She is kinda creepy, but I love her.
What?
Stay here.
I'll be right back.
Open this door!
Hey!
Let me outta here!
You're gonna pay for this,
whoever you are!
There you are.
Where are you goin' huh?
Where are you goin', huh?
You should stay down this time.
Gary?
You out here?
Gary?
Where are the others?
I have no freakin' idea,
but I think the girl
and whoever this guy is
may be in the house.
Take it.
Take it.
I don't like guns.
I told you that when you brought me on.
Listen, someone is fuckin' with us.
Now, you find him...
Deal with it.
Oh, shit!
Hey!
Yeah, you're locked out.
I got that.
What else?
I have an idea!
I don't understand.
Hey, think I found something.
About damn time.
Okay, Grandma, don't worry, I'm coming.
Yeah.
It's a gun safe.
You fucking idiot.
Why, I know.
But we don't know what's in it.
I'm guessing a fucking gun.
Maybe we should have Craig open it up,
and we can take a look?
Look, it's not it.
And if you can't see that,
you're dumber than you fucking look!
Hey!
No need for name calling.
You said to find a safe.
I found you a safe.
What the fuck?
Who the hell are you?!
Come on, Everette!
Get the hell outta there!
You obviously want something.
Cut the music and let's talk.
Damn, that was a good shot.
What's the matter?
Not feeling so jiggy anymore?
Where's my granddaughter?
We have no idea.
You might wanna ask that
Michael Jackson over there.
Stay right there!
I will shoot!
Will you?
It takes a very special
breed to pull that trigger.
Believe me, I should
know, I am that breed.
You, I'm not so sure about.
Not another step!
When faced with life or death peril,
most anybody could do it.
Now, this, this is a
scary situation, sure,
but is it life or death?
I don't know.
Only you could answer that.
Look at Freddy over here.
The gun to his fucking head.
And so he'd rather just
stand there pissing himself
than use the gun in his waistband
to do what needs to be done.
Grandma!
What the fuck?!
You could've shot me!
But I didn't.
Now, go get the girl.
Go!
Run, Everette, run!
Hey!
Amateurs.
Here.
Put some pressure on it.
What the hell are you doing?
You got people shootin' at you.
I tried.
I tried.
Where are you, you little shit?
Hey!
Craig?
Really?
What, I'm just gonna sit in here?
Yeah, right.
Oh, fuck!
Sebastian, a word?
Where's the girl?
She got away.
You got one more time to fuck up...
Or what?
With all due respect,
I'm not the only one fucking up.
I mean, I understand
there's a lot at stake,
but this job has been messed up from jump.
Nobody was supposed to be home.
Now, we're taking hostages,
we're shooting guns,
and still no safe.
So maybe your guy got that wrong, too.
Maybe there is no safe?
And even if there is,
we've been through every room.
We can't find it.
Not to mention, the numb
nut out there lurking,
trying to be a hero.
For the love of god,
let's just get the hell outta here!
That is not the plan, and you know it.
Well, fuck the plan!
Excuse me?
Fuck the plan.
Oh, you feel the same way, too?
Sure.
Fuck it!
You know, the thing about chess,
people are always so
preoccupied with winning,
they only focus on the next move,
yeah, and the next move,
but they fail to focus on
what is staring at them
right in the fucking face!
Now, I say, we finish the job,
but this is America, so we gotta vote.
So what say you, huh?
Fuck the plan or finish the job?
Fuck the plan or finish the job?
- Fuck the-
- Finish!
Finish the job!
Good call.
Guess y'all voted?
Get off me!
Whoa, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho!
I didn't mean to scare you,
but there's no time to explain.
You need to call the cops, if you can,
or go get help.
Hey, hey, look.
- Just calm down.
- No, no, no!
- Get in your car!
- What's goin' on?
Get in your car!
It's not safe!
- They have guns!
- What?!
Guns?!
Oh, my god, look,
I'm gonna call for help.
Ah, shit!
Get up.
Get up!
Who are you?
Nobody.
Just the wrong place at the wrong time.
You know what I think?
I think you're nothin'
but a two bit hustler
looking for a score.
To my darling, darling Clair,
here's to 30 years.
Wayne.
Anything else good?
And who would this be?
The sweetest little thing.
Super cute.
You know, if you wanna
get back home to her,
stop trying to be a fucking hero.
I need a drink.
Keep an eye on them.
You said you could handle this for me,
so why wasn't it handled?
We've had setbacks.
What, our mystery man?
You mean to tell me,
you couldn't figure out
how to diffuse that threat?
He's a hustler.
A little pocket change
would've did the trick.
Or are you referring to
the old lady and the kid?
Because their presence
should've made your
job easier, not harder.
We've been through
every room in this house.
And believe me, I pressed.
I pressed her hard.
She doesn't know anything.
Come here.
Down.
Did I say touch?
You know how much I enjoy you, right?
But if you can't do
what I need you to do,
what fucking good are you to me?
Now, you can touch.
Okay.
Hey, we need to talk.
Get the fuck away from me!
What's your problem?
What do you think?
Look at me!
What, you're blaming me?
Me?
Not that motherfucker
who pounded your head in
like it was a piece of
freakin' skirt steak?
You're the one making waves.
Shouldn't have listened to your ass!
Well, you better listen to me now,
and you better listen good,
'cause if that ass whoopin'
didn't make it clear,
Sebastian doesn't give
a damn about any of us.
And I'm not exactly getting Kumbaya vibes
off this Riley chick either.
And this entire time I
thought Riley was a dude.
You knew she was a broad?
Why are you talkin' to me?!
Well, that's your question
in your head right now?
What you should be asking is,
why are they up there havin'
a secret meeting, huh?
What's so important that
they're talking about
that the rest of us can't be in on?
Yeah.
I wouldn't be surprised if, right now,
they're thinking of a way to cut us out.
Yo, I'm goin'
- back downstairs.
- Yeah.
I don't wanna hear
your paranoid bullshit!
Fine.
Get caught slippin', if you want,
but it's not gonna be me.
Don't disappoint me.
What the fuck?
Oh, we're fucked.
What's your problem now?
Don't ask.
Just know, this whole job, fucked.
This has gone too far.
I need you outta here!
Sit down and shut up!
Sit down, lady!
No, they need to go!
I need a doctor.
This needs to end!
Just give me a number,
and I'll wire it to you.
Back up, lady!
I'm warning you.
Hey, hey, calm down!
Give me a fucking number
and let's end this now!
Give me a number!
That's what you think this
is about, fucking money?
This is about legacy.
Your husband's grandfather
cheated my great-grandfather
out of a business they started together.
That means, everything you own,
that painting, this couch,
and those ugly ass pajamas,
and all that land is,
by right, half of mine.
And I'm gonna get what's owed to us
and expose your family.
So despite all these
articles, and magazine covers,
and philanthropic awards,
I'm going to let the world know
that you are nothing
but cheaters and frauds.
Now, sit.
I don't know where you got this idea.
If there was any validity
to it whatsoever.
Wayne is a fair man.
Fair?
I've been working for five years
to get justice for my family.
You know, I went and saw
your husband a few years ago,
gave him an opportunity
to do the right thing,
and he laughed in my face.
He even got a restraining order on me.
Told the courts that I
was mentally unstable.
Me, mentally unstable.
Do I look like I'm fucking
mentally unstable?!
That wasn't a rhetorical question.
No.
No, but you look like you're very upset.
Look, this is the first I'm
hearing anything about this,
so let me look into it.
Where's the safe, Clair?
I don't know!
You know, the funny thing is,
I don't believe you.
I was married for years,
and the one thing I do know
is that the wife always knows.
Yeah.
Just like I knew my husband
was my fucking sister.
You know, you just know something, right?
Call it a hunch, a suspicion, a inkling.
Yeah.
So what I'm gonna do is count to three,
and you're gonna give
us something we can use,
or I'm gonna shoot...
- Him.
- No!
- What, what?
- One.
I can't tell you
what I don't know!
- Hey!
- Two.
- Please stop!
- Hey!
- Stop!
- Okay!
Stop!
I know where it is.
I was following my grandpa one day,
and he opened the secret compartment,
and I didn't see what was inside,
but it's got to be what
you're looking for.
Now, that wasn't so hard, was it?
Well, alrighty then.
Looks like we're gonna go on a field trip.
Shall we?
- Let's go.
- Get off me!
Try it again!
You're up, kid.
Oh, my!
Now that's impressive.
Open it.
I can't.
What do you mean, you can't?
My ears, I can't hear the ticks.
So you can't open the
safe because you can't hear?
Yeah, that's right.
I do not deal with the incompetence!
If I can't regain my family's legacy,
then yours won't have one either.
Oh, no, no!
I can open it!
Bullshit!
What?
I'm familiar with these type things.
Okay, Mr. Hero,
you open it.
Very few
people can do what I do.
Shut the fuck up!
You can't do what you do!
So we'll let him try.
Don't be scared.
If you're bullshitting me,
I will find your daughter,
and I will make her suffer
more than you can imagine.
But hey, look on the bright side,
if you can open that safe,
I may give you his share.
Isn't this exciting?
Slow down.
Hey!
You need to be very precise,
otherwise, you'll trigger the biometric...
Lockout.
I tried to warn you.
Shit!
Did you just fuck me?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Let me explain.
Let me explain.
I did it on purpose.
It's true, I don't know how
to break this combination,
but with the biometric
lock, I don't need to.
You just need a thumb you don't have.
We don't need a thumb.
We just need a print.
And how the hell are
you gonna manage that?
Ralph to dispatch.
What can I do ya for, Ralph?
Check your log.
Aren't the Cummings supposed
to be away this weekend?
Oh, let me look at the log.
That is affirmative.
No one should be home.
I'll hit you back.
Is there anything wrong?
Ralph?
Standby, dispatch.
Hit my steps for today.
Don't say a word.
Go check it out.
You, come with me.
And if he tries anything,
shoot the kid first.
Hey there, Officer.
Oh, hey!
I didn't think anybody was home.
Ah, yeah, I'm just house
sitting for the weekend.
Yeah.
And you are?
A friend of the family.
Yeah, well, they didn't log it in.
They...
Oh, sorry, they must've forgot,
'cause they were running late.
I'm sure they'll call
tomorrow and clear it all up.
Okay, you be sure Mr. or Mrs. Clark
call it in tomorrow morning.
You mean, Cummings.
Excuse me?
You said Clark.
This is the Cummings' residence.
You know what?
I got so many houses to patrol,
I get it confused.
Go take care of this issue.
No problem.
Okay.
Have a good evening, huh?
You, too, Officer.
All right.
And hey, Officer?
We'll call first thing in the mornin'.
All right.
You're too young to understand.
The world can be a hard place.
Not everybody gets the same opportunities.
Don't talk to her.
Not everybody gets to
live in a fancy mansion
with stacks of cash
hanging around everywhere.
I have a daughter to provide for.
Kids are expensive, you know.
My mom always tells me that, but...
But what?
Never mind.
No, go ahead, say it.
It's just that, if I was your daughter,
I'd want you to stop,
'cause I'd be too scared
that, at any moment,
you could be taken away from me.
My dad died when I was four.
I live in a big house,
and get pretty much whatever I want,
but I would trade all of that
for a chance to see him again.
So I'm pretty sure
whatever she might want,
what she wants the most is
just for you to be there.
Holy shit!
You did it.
Oh, no!
Shoes.
- Everette, get your shoes!
- Okay!
Okay, okay, okay, okay!
What are you doing?
Clear the safe.
What do we have here?
Let's go, come on!
Come on!
I'm coming, I'm coming.
What are you doing?
Get out there!
They're gettin' away!
Oh, my god!
You hurt her, I will kill you myself!
We've heard that one before,
and I think you're all outta threats.
Enough!
Now, give me my shit.
Give us the girl,
or I rip the shit out of
this old ass envelope.
It's what you want, right?
Looked very important.
You know, it's getting late.
I think it's time for little
Everette to go to sleep.
Why don't you just put down the envelope,
and I promise, no one else will get hurt.
Or...
We could do it the hard way.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Okay, okay!
Okay!
We'll make the trade.
Come on, come on, come on!
- No!
- Come on, come on.
Now everybody's happy.
We can all go in peace.
Can't wait to
get the fuck outta here.
What the hell are you talkin' about?
No loose ends.
Hell no.
No, I've done my part,
so give me my cut and I'm out.
Okay.
Here, take your cut.
Go, go, go, go!
Go!
- Okay, no, no, no, no.
- I need to stop.
No, no, no, no, they're coming.
- We gotta-
- No, just leave me.
- Just leave me.
- No, Grandma!
Look, this is what was
stopping cell service.
Look, just figure out how to turn it off,
get her to safety, and then call for help.
Okay, yeah.
I think I found the off button.
We're not leaving anyone behind.
Sorry, buddy, no loose ends.
There's nowhere to run!
You might as well come on out!
- Here, take this.
- No!
- You take it!
- No, no!
Take this and call for help, okay?
Protect yourselves.
I'll be all right.
That's not my style.
The longer you make me wait
out here with these damn bugs,
the more I'm gonna make it
hurt when I do find you!
I know you're there.
Aah!
Hey, you fucked my shit up, man!
What'd you do that for?
Ralph to dispatch.
Mary, Code Green, Cummings residence.
Code Green.
Oh, I'm gonna find you.
I'm gonna find you.
My, oh, my!
What do we have here?
Looks like Cinderella lost a slipper.
Why don't you come out
and play with Uncle Gary, Cinderella, huh?
Cinderella?
Cinderella?
What the fuck?
The fuck?
Everette, grab the rope.
Never mind.
I told you I would kill you.
You should have listened.
I looked through this,
and it disturbs me more than you know.
I learned things I never knew about.
And I promise,
I'll do my best to set
things right for your family.
But know this,
you will never see one dime of that money,
because you will rot in a cold jail cell
for the rest of your life.
Now, get her the hell off my property.
If he hadn't heard me
scream when he was passing by,
I don't know if where we'd be
or if we'd even be alive right now.
Just, what, right place
at the right time, I guess.
Here, take this.
It's the least I could do.
I didn't do anything to deserve that.
You saved my
granddaughter's life and mine.
I'd say that's plenty.
It was the right thing to do.
Well, bless you.
I have noticed you have a
lot of things on the property
that could use a handyman's attention.
I'd love to help out.
By all means.
Well, in that case,
we can use this as a starting point.
When can you start?
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
I mean it.
Right, sweetie?
Grandma, how's your shoulder?
It really hurts.
You mind if we go thank
Ralph really quick?
- Sheanetta?
- Yes, ma'am?
Look at you.
Look at you on time.
I like it.
What, is that, like, two weeks in a row?
Some could consider that a streak.
I would.
Oh, I got somethin' to show you.
- Are those keys to your-
- Yep!
And you get your own room.
You are the best hobbit in the world.
Well, thanks, gremlin.
Hey, what do you say, before
you go see your new room,
we go get some...
Waffle cones?
Okay, yes.
Okay, let's get whipped cream.
Ooh, and sprinkles.
Some hot fudge.
Maybe we could get double scoops?
Oh, my goodness.
Double scoops, huh?
