Roofman (2025) Movie Script

1
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 guns.
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 shit.
You crazy, man?
You ain't helping me do a goddamn 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 shit 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.
Shit, I had a brain like yours.
I've been running a whole goddamn world.
You know, you're the smartest dumb nigga I
ever known.
That shit crazy.
You can stop filling up that pool now.
Ain't nobody gonna get in there.
That shit 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.
Goddamn, 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 fuck are you doing
calling me, man?
You all over the goddamn news and shit?
Look, I gotta get out of here.
I'm thinking, like, Brazil, Venezuela,
somewhere with the beach and no extradition.
Can you sound fucking crazy?
I know.
I'm sorry.
Don't you know stupid shit might go see
your man?
Okay.
Okay, I'll hide.
Don't call my motherfucking phone again,
you got it?
Alright.
See?
Lock me up here.
What do you want?
I'm a motherfucker.
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 dick.
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, bitch!
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 gay, right?
What?
I'm what?
You're gay.
Gay?
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 gay?
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... Shit.
Alright.
That was gay.
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 gay one.
You know, not a gay 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 fuck?
Fuck!
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, bitch.
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 kill
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 killer?
He's... Stop being over-commatic.
He's not a killer.
Your mom's totally right.
He's definitely not a killer.
You don't know that, John.
Well, if he wasn't a killer, you'd have
killed 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 fucking 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?
Motherfucker!
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, motherfucker 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 fucking 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 fuck 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 shit.
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 shit.
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 shit.
Couldn't what shit?
Being a criminal, nigga.
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 gun,
do me a favor.
Stay the fuck 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, shit.
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, bastard.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Please keep your head away from your gun,
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 fucking fantastic, Jim.
You're a fucking nut.
You know that?
It's fucking 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 shit 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' motherfucker.
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.
