PETE: Green...
That's what I remember the most.
That shade of green.
It might have been the most beautiful thing.
I had ever seen.
Just the colour.
The only time we were inside was when we slept and...
even then, not half the time.
And there was a tire swing.
LAUGHS - Every summer...
that thing would break and every summer Grandpa would fix it.
And the apples, oh...
PRISON DOOR SLAMS - I'm telling you.
Apples ain't the same anymore.
I mean, I don't know what they--
Pete, would you shut the hell up?
Nothing's the same anymore.
GUARD'S VOICE: Lights out!
Three years in here.
I feel like I've spent every moment of that listening to this crap.
Pete had the perfect summers. Pete had the perfect grandparents.
All that money from the bond business but they loved you anyway.
They had the time for you until Mummy pissed 'em off
twenty years ago--
PETE GRUNTS - They did.
It's all true.
And it just pisses you off
because it was better than your screwed-up life.
Whatever that was. - I know your life sucked
worst than mine.
At least I have people skills.
You're a conman.
Yes, I'm a confidence man.
I give people confidence, they give me their money.
You? What, you tried to rob a gun range at gun point?
I get out of here in two days.
You're not even up for parole for another two years
which means my life is currently better than yours.
So I either had a better life than you
or none of that crap means nothing.
Either way just stop talking about it.
OK?
PRISON DOOR BUZZES
Twenty-four hours Eddie, oh my God! You know the first thing I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna murder a cheeseburger at Donovan's.
Yeah, that's a good burger.
Alright, little brother. I'll see you tomorrow, OK?
Um...
Everything alright?
No, Marius. It's not.
Uh...
You can't come back here. - What do you mean?
It's Vince. We owe more money than I thought.
A lot more. - Yeah? How much?
A hundred grand. - What?
Wait a minute. That's what it was to start with.
I've been paying him, you've been paying him. What the fuck happened?
He said it's interest, that the...
that Vig's been running for three years.
So know you tell me? - I just found out.
PRISON DOOR BUZZES - MARIUS SIGHS
He want's me dead, doesn't he?
I don't know. I don't know, but...
He's gonna have people waiting for you when you get out, so...
Well, I've got to talk to him--
No, man. Jesus, just be on top, Marius.
At least for you.
Look, he likes me, alright? So just...
Let me try to work him.
But right now. You gotta hide.
Ah, Eddie. - You gotta hide.
Yeah, alright.
Alright. - PRISON DOOR BUZZES
So what? You're not talking anymore?
That was your advice.
No, you were right. My life sucks.
I had a dad I never met and a...
a mother who was only around when she didn't have a needle in her arm
and about a dozen foster parents...
only three of whom weren't...
weren't there for the crappy cheque.
And you had...
loving grandparents.
It makes me feel like something's possible.
If you wanna talk about it.
Grandma was always my favourite.
She didn't take nothing from nobody.
No? - No.
Everyone else was afraid of her.
Where's the farm?

He gets out today. - Ah, you're his brothers?
His what? No.
Only one stop. It's not the blue line.
But my brothers are coming to meet me.
I'm thrilled for you. - And...
my dad is with them.
He wasn't supposed to be but he wouldn't stay home.
My dad doesn't know that I was in prison.
He had a heart attack just before I went away
and then another one last month
and my mother thinks the truth is gonna kill him.
We managed to keep the secret for three years.
You want me to screw that up now?
No. Just stop the bus at the next light, open the lever
and I'll get out and walk the rest of the way.
And give my dad a hug.
Like a normal son.

GRANDPA COUGHS - GRANDMA COUGHS
Wasn't there an apple tree out there?
Uh, it died a couple of years ago.
Well where do you build your treehouses now, Grandpa?
Where have you been for the last twenty years?
I mean, where have you lived?
You been married? Do you have any kids?
So much to catch up on. - How's your mum?
I haven't talked to her in three years.
What happened? - You know how she is. She's just not...
quick to forgive a mistake.
That might be hereditary.
What she did to us was unforgiveable.
I called the whole family over for lunch.
All your cousins.
Great.
My grandma thinks your mum's a screw up.
I'm his grandma too and I never said that.
Don't worry, she says I'm a screw up too.
I never said that.
Adorable.
Is that a new blouse?
No. It's... Laney's. I just borrowed it
last time I slept over at her place. - It's pretty.
Julia, you're just as I remember you.
I have crooked teeth and braids.
And you were beautiful.
Where are your parents?
They're dead.
Carly! - Is it easier for everyone if I say
"they passed"?
They passed.
Our parents died in a car accident, twelve years ago.
Then grandpa had a stroke.
I'm fine. - You forget stuff, grandpa.
Everyone forgets stuff.
OK, well he can't walk that well, so he can't work.
I can work.
He can't work, so I have to work.
I can work! - You don't have to work.
I was supposed to retired ten years ago. - You could retire tomorrow.
And what? You're gonna take over?
Julia's been working at the business for a couple of years. She's been a big help.
And you did a great job actually running the place while I was sick a few weeks ago.
Am I blushing? - But...
we make money by knowing who we can trust and who we can't trust
and I'm sorry but if that were a...
strong suit of yours, your kids would have the same colour eyes.
Really?
Where did you study finance?
I'm sorry, you work for the family business, right?
Bonds and mutual funds?
I figured you'd have a business degree.
GRANDPA LAUGHS The bond business!
No? - In your ten-year-old mind
we're this rich family in the bond business aren't we?
We're in the bail bond business.
And we're so not rich.
I can't afford my class trip this year.
GRANDPA: Oh, for God's sake, enough about us. Pete.
You never did tell us what you've been doing.
What's that? - How do you make your money?
Oh, yeah.
Well, a little bit of this. A little bit of that.
I've been doing some investigative work for an insurance company.
Uh, you know, tracking down valuables.
Uh, finding missing persons.
Uh, following people who are faking injuries.
No kidding?
How long are you planning on staying for, Pete?
Couple of days. - GRANDPA: What?
We haven't seen you
in twenty years!
And you think you're gonna disappear again in two days?
Especially when we need you.
Our skip tracer quit. - I know, but...
My current employer's expecting me back-- - Nonsense.
When family asks for help you don't say no.
We insist on you staying. - DOOR SLAMS

Like we were one person and then, just...
nothing. - That's just wrong.
You know what I'm saying?
TAYLOR SCOFFS - You remember the crayfish?
MARIUS LAUGHS Yeah.
I still laugh about that.
You remember Sean's reaction?
When I almost shot one? - Sure, oh my God.
He would imitate him.
Every time we saw this kid, for years.
Do it! Just come on give me a little taster. - No, I'm not...
Come on! Just... please?
Just give me a little bit. - GRANDPA LAUGHS
Come on, do it! You must remember it, come on, man!
He cried.
And... and...
He cried and then we made fun of him.
Because it was, uh... hysterical.
Look, we were kids.
And I'm sure that poor old Sean has got over it by now.

I'm sorry guys, I've gotta fly.
You're... you're a...
A cop, yeah.
Things have changed, huh?
I had to figure at least one of us would be on the other side of the law by now, right?

See you guys. - GRANDPA: See you, Taylor.
Wow, that's great. - GRANDPA: Yeah.
He's a cop.

Marius, are you OK? - MARIUS: Yeah, I'm OK.
I, uh, I don't think I can stay here though.
The resource potential is slimmer than I thought and the risks are higher.
Alright, but you're safe.
Where are you?
Maybe I should just talk to Vince?
EDDIE: Yeah, you know, you're good at that.
Calming people down, right? Making them want to give you stuff.
Just tell me where you are. I'll come get you.
Wait a minute. Yesterday you said I wasn't gonna get out of this by talking.
It was your idea.
Yesterday I thought you had options, today you tell me you don't.
That's true.
So where are you?
I'm in the city. Hey, I'll text you the address.
See you tomorrow morning. - EDDIE: Alright.
MOBILE PHONE BEEPS OFF
CARLY: Hey! - Oh, my God.
Shit, you scared the shit out of me.
Sorry, I didn't see you sitting there.
What are you listening to?
Norwegian death metal.
Blocks out the sound of Grandma and Julia arguing.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's rough.
I know what it's like to be around people fighting.
Sometimes you just need to get some space, you know?
OK.
So...
Just so I'm clear.
This is the part where we bond right?
What's that?
You know, where you give me some bullshit
about understanding what I'm going through and then...
suddenly we're besties.
Wow.
Yeah, I don't know where this is coming from.
And frankly, I'm a little surprised because...
because I covered for you back there.
Covered for me, how?
Oh, really? We're gonna play that game?
Come on. You stole that blouse.
Right. So...
You think that I stole a blouse
and now we're thick as thieves because...
you didn't rat me out? - Who's the thief?
OK, the fact is I just forgot to take the sticker off.
Oh. That's right. That's why you ripped it off before anybody else could see.
My mistake, sorry. Right you didn't steal the blouse.
By the way, you're welcome?
Oh, Eddie, you son of a bitch.
Go, just drive.

Hi, Jules.
JULES SIGHS - Marius.
Didn't know you got out.
Just.
You look good.
Can't complain.
Nobody would listen anyway.
I assume this isn't just a social call.
No, I need a setup.
You've aged.
Prison years are like dog years.
Well, at least you're still alive. - Joseph--
Hey look, I don't blame you OK, about Charlie.
Sometimes these things they just go south, right?
It's the life we choose. The life he chose, you know.
Have you heard from Porter?
Last time we spoke, he...
he sounded old.
Uh, what are the particulars?
I just need a driver's license with a polygram, the whole nine yards.
It just needs to be fool-proof. - The only way I do it.
When do you need it by? - Now.
State?
Uh... Washington. Here.
I have the details.
You don't have a burner do you?
No.
But I got something better.
An IMSI-catcher.
Creates random misdirects between your phone and the cell towers.
Makes your location completely untraceable.
I don't have any money. - Don't worry about it.
But that... that makes us even.
Right? - Yeah, yeah.
Alright.
Peter Murphy, come back and see me in an hour.
You're not very good at that.
I never liked you anyway.
You have a place to stay?
Not in the city. Vince's goons are looking for me.
You know, Eddie just tried to deliver me up.
Look, Eddie's just trying to stay alive.
He's not the only one.
I don't blame him.
Vince thinks I still owe him a hundred grand.
Well, that's unfortunate but it doesn't really change things does it?
No, not really.
You still want to do this?
Do you? - If you can't get justice you get revenge.
Besides...
how many times in this life does one get the opportunity to pull off "the Turk".
It's his last bottle.
I've been saving it.
I don't know how he'd feel about paper cups.
He'd have drunk Pappy from a sponge if he could have.

BELL ON DOOR JINGLES - Hey.
Anything happening this morning?
We got a skip.
Damn. Who?
Brad Lewis.
The B and E?
No kidding? Figured for sure that kid didn't have the balls to try running.
JULIA LAUGHS - Take Pete.
Brad's and idiot and a coward, I don't think I need backup.
Perfect. It'll give Pete the chance to learn on an easy case.
Take him.
This file says "Abraham Persikof" not Brad Lewis.
I must have misspoken.
Huh? - We put up a 20,000 dollar bond
for Abraham Persikof.
This morning he had a pre-trial hearing.
He didn't show.
If he doesn't show up for pre-trial he's not gonna show up for trial.
He doesn't show up for trial
we don't get paid.
So where are we going? - We're starting at his mum's house.
Skips always run to where they feel safe.
"Check databases, voter registration and last known addresses.
Skips always run to where they feel safe". You just said that.
Wait a minute, so we're literally doing this by the book?
Everybody loves their mum.
Wrong driveway.
Yeah, I'm gonna go to the address of somebody who wouldn't lie
cheat or steal to protect the person we're trying to put in jail, alright?
No, no, this is a good plan. You go there.
I'll go here. We'll work together...
separately.
If you're covering for him you are not helping him.
If he's called you. - If he had called I would tell you.
I'm worried something terrible has happened to him.
Thank you.
Does Abraham have a girlfriend that he might turn to?
I don't think there's anyone serious right now.
And has he ever done any home renovations? Or major remodelling?
I'm sorry. I don't understand why that would matter.
Oh, I wanna know where he would go when he needs...
The reason I ask is because
when he needed a place to crash, where did he stay?
Oh, well. About five years ago his roof collapsed.
It was such a mess. So many things were ruined, so many memories.
And who did he stay with?
MRS PERSIKOF: His friend Stuart.
JULIA: Do you have a last name?
JULIA: An address?
MRS PERSIKOF: Oh, he's in construction.
Oh, I already checked the hospitals and the morgue.
You have?
You can't break into houses.
OK? You get caught we lose our license.
She's lying. - How do you know that?
Because the neighbour saw Abraham here
four times in the last three days, twice over night.
That bitch. - Yeah.
Yeah. She's a bitch.
No. - No, no, no. What are you doing?
When a liar gets caught in a lie they don't come clean, they build a bigger lie.
So we wait for him to come back?
No. I would guarantee you the first thing she did
after you walked out was call him and warn him.
Besides, I know where he's going.
You stole his computer. - OK, you know what?
If we catch him you can give it back.
If not, he owes you at least that much, right?
Anyway, I know where he went.
He's going to get his fix.
RACE COMMENTATOR: And there's News Magic now
opening up at the top of the lane with No No Calim now off the pace
on the outside down the stretch.
JULIA: I'm still not sure I'm buying this.
If he's on the run, he should be staying low, not--
MARIUS: A gambler on the run is still a gambler. We are who we are.
So, you're still the same jerk you were when we were ten?
I worshipped you and you weren't very nice to me.
Well, I was a different person back then.
I mean, I was ten years old, right?
So I guess that means I kind of won that argument?
He's here.
Leather jacket.
That's Abraham Persikof? Where's the file?
Oh, the file you didn't bother to look at?
You know him? - Uh, no.
You're acting like you know him. You're acting scared.
Well, yeah, he's a felon.
He's not violent he's facing tax evasion charges.
What if he's not?
If you actually know something, say it.
I know that before we do anything we should probably know who we're dealing with.
OK, here's the plan.
COMMENTATOR: And they're off.
COMMENTATOR COMMENTATES RACE
Abraham, you need to come with me.
Seriously? - Please don't make this difficult.
JULIA GRUNTS - Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
I heard footsteps and I...
I don't know... You were the first footsteps.
No, he came through here.
No, I... He must have turned down the hallway or something
I don't know, he ducked into a room, you know.
No.
You let him get away.
You must have let him get away.
Why would you let him get away?
Because I...
I know him.
What?
That guy would have killed us.
Abraham Persikof is not a tax cheat.
Well, he might be but who cares?
He's also Max Peron and under that name
he runs the construction and protection rackets
in Long Island and he's probably killed half a dozen people.
How do you know him?
I just know people he knows.
Look, you haven't seen me in 20 years, I've had a life.
You're fired. - Julia.
Julia, whatever you posted for him you should just write it off.
Hey, I don't care if it's a million dollars, it's not worth dying over.
He walks, I miss the next payment on our line of credit.
The bank starts seizing assets.
Our grandparents lose the business, maybe the farm.
Our grandparents started this business.
My parents met in this business and that car accident they were working a case.
This business is this family
and it will not end because I trusted the wrong guy yet again.
So yeah, I am finding him and I am taking him in.
You need me.
I know this guy, I know this world.
You need somebody to tell you that was a lousy plan.
It was a good plan.
Right up to the point where you screwed it up.
Plans that involve running after people and tackling people are never good plans.
You afraid of getting into a fight?
Yeah, I am. I like my face.
Have you ever been punched?
It hurts.
Look, there's always a better way, there's always a smarter way.
And if there isn't, running away is a perfectly sensible idea.
OFFICE PHONE RINGS - INDISTINCT CHATTER
THUD
Can we get out of here?
Taylor can call us with the info.
I shouldn't be looking at peoples' credit card records without a warrant.
Yeah, you tell me that every time, and every time you get me the info.
Every time it's worth me reminding you that I don't like doing this.
Taylor, if it makes you feel uncomfortable you can just issue an APB on the guy.
We can get out of your hair. - Federal charges.
We don't have jurisdiction.
OK. Abraham Persikof has...
three cards. - Flights, trains, buses?
He's got to be trying to get as far away from here as fast as possible.
No, only a couple of cabs, a couple of lunches.
What about Max Peron? You could check his cards.
Ah! - It doesn't scroll.
OK, he's got a hotel in New York a couple of weeks ago.
A charity donation and a couple of cabs again.
No flights, no trains.
Hey! - Nah.
I know you.
What? - Where do I know you from?
I don't... I think you're mistaken.
I don't think so. - No.
Wait a minute.
You're my kid's soccer coach, right?
No. You know I get mistaken for people a lot. I just have a common face.
Hm. - Yeah.
Oh, God.
New charges came through on one of Persikof's cards.
Two hours ago he bought a flight out of Hartford
to Buffalo. - Border town.
When does it leave? - Less than an hour.
Alright.
Thanks, Taylor. - Yeah.
MARIUS: This is perfect.
I mean, not your driving, but the airport.
It's a controlled environment, it means he's already been checked for a weapon.
Yeah, perfect!
That plane leaves, our business goes with it.
I'm afraid the flight to Buffalo is all sold out.
OK, uh...
Two tickets for the 5:20 to Fort Lauderdale.
You want to go to Buffalo or Fort Lauderdale?
Do we only get to go if we have good reasons for wanting to go?

Hey, Grandma. - GRANDMA: Julia.
You'll never guess who Grandpa just ran into - Brad Lewis.
GRANDMA: Well, found really.
But it wasn't that tough since Brad had no idea we were even looking for him.
Oh, yeah. It was a miscommunication from the court house, I should have let you know.
Are you OK? You sound out of breath.
Oh, I'm just playing tag with Allen.
Oops! Someone's got me, gotta go!
Ma'am, so sorry, we need to get on that flight.
Can I see you boarding passes?
We don't have the right ones but our...
great uncle is on the flight. He's diabetic, he forgot his insulin today.
And if we don't get on that flight he may die.
Oh, my goodness, of course.
I'll get one of our flight attendants to escort you on.
I need to take care of some house-keeping first.
OK. So you have the insulin right? You can go on the flight alone?
This is the last boarding call for
Flight 1722 to Buffalo, New York.
Abraham Persikof -
if you are in the terminal, please report to gate A8.
You are about to miss your flight.
Sir, the flight attendant will escort you onto the jet.
Sir? - What?
No, oh. No, it's OK.
But your uncle? - It's OK.
You've got apple juice, he'll be fine.
Maybe he saw me. - He must have seen one of us.
Let's just hope it was you.
No, I'm... He just knows people that I know.
People who don't like me very much.
I just can't have him see me.
People from you insurance business?
Sounds a lot more dramatic than I thought it was.
What's up, Taylor?
TAYLOR: I've just heard from my guy at the credit bureau.
Persikof used the same card to buy another plane ticket.
This one to Detroit leaving in two hours out of Providence.
Thanks, Taylor.
Come on, we might make it. - Wait a minute.
No, he was never here, this was just a distraction.
Are you just chickening out again? - What's the advantage we have over him?
What's the one thing we know about him that he doesn't know we know?
That he has a second identity. - Exactly, Max Peron.
And Max Peron has credit cards, right? So why would he book a plane flight
with Persikof's credit card unless...
he wanted us to know about it, right?
So maybe...
Persikof isn't trying to distract us while he heads to Providence or anywhere else.
Maybe he's trying to distract us
while he stays right here in town?
Doing what, though?
What do we know? And then what are we not supposed to know?
The charitable donation?
What? - From...
from Peron's credit card receipts, it's...
odd. The guy's giving money away two weeks before he plans on skipping bail?
"Hartford County Nursing Association, 500 dollars".
County... - What? I don't...
That association is having an event tonight.
Yeah, there's no way he's going to that. I mean it's stupid, it's too public.
No. He'll be there.
His escape from justice must wait till tomorrow.
Tonight, the Hartford County Nursing Association is honouring his mummy.
So we need to be in control of the situation which means we need to control him.
We need to know what he's gonna do before he knows he's gonna do it.
Why do you have so many suits? What are you a cross-dresser?
Jacob's dad was in such a hurry to get out of here, he didn't bother to pack.
Can you help me with this?
We need to separate him
from everyone, which means we need to...
give him a reason to get away from everyone.
And how do we do that when he knows me, his mother knows me
and he's not allowed to see you?
Evening, welcome to Hayley Lake. Are you guys here for the event?
Great, can I get you names please? - Stephen Davidson.
Stephen Davidson, and your guest's name? - This is my wife, Dorothy.
Well, you both look great this evening.
For your safety we're having everybody stay in their cars
until the valets have cleared the vehicles in front of them, OK?
Nice SL, by the way.
VALET: Yes, sir. It's just inside.
Tickets please.
Dorothy, you have the tickets?
I don't have them... honey.
You remember when you put on your jacket?
Honey? You... - I can't believe...
Can you just check your purse?
I don't much like your tone.
And I'm sure you had them.
OK, can you check the invitation list? The name's Davidson. Stephen Davidson.
It's the CF function all over again and we're gonna waste another night.
OK, that wasn't my fault. The tickets were electronic.
And your phone was dead. - Because you let Rory play Minecraft.
Right. It's the eight-year-old's fault. I knew it couldn't possibly be yours.
You know how much I spent on my hair. - You mean how much I spent...
Oh, now we get to the real issue!
It's OK.
I've got you listed, Mr and Mrs Davidson.
Let's just do this. I'll scan the main barcode
and let you in.
Thank you. - OK.
Thank you. - Such a beautiful night.
No problem.

JULIA: You think he's armed?
Well, he'd be an idiot not to be and he's definitely not an idiot.
Phase two.
ABRAHAM: Do you want something to drink?
Yes, I'd love a scotch, thank you.
Mrs Persikof.
So happy to finally meet you.
I believe you've spoken to some of my co-workers
and they all sing your praises. - Oh!
I'm sorry. I'm Martin Onger. I'm sure somebody mentioned my name.
I'm in charge of PR for this event.
Lovely event, lovely people.
And listen, the doctors get all the credit but we know who the real heroes are
don't we? - Oh, you're too kind.
So, we have a lovely Green Room for you upstairs
so you can relax and get some quiet
before your big moment. - Well, I'm fine here.
OK, yeah. I'll tell Marlene.
You know, she recently photographed Madonna
and the pictures were, dare I say
sumptuous and you do look sumptuous but...
do what you wanna do.
Well...
I don't want to mess up any plans.
As soon as my son comes with the drinks. - No, don't worry about that.
Andy, can you tell Mr Persikof that his mother's in the Green Room?
Oh, my name's... - Not now, Andy.
We have a Green Room?
Your son must be so proud, this is like winning an Oscar for nursing.
Oh, I wouldn't say that. - Well, let me say it for you, then.
THEY BOTH LAUGH
I will be right back.

Hey, Mum. - Mr Persikof?
Who is this? What are you doing with my mother's phone?
I think she's having a heart attack.
I don't know, she's kind of blue.
There's a doctor with her. - Where are you?
She wasn't talking, she was clutching her chest. They called an ambulance.
I said, where are you?
The Hogan room, second floor.

Abraham Persikof.
Pursuant to the laws of this state and paragraph 6B of your bail bonds agreement
I am hereby forcibly detaining you.
Please, raise your hands.
ABRAHAM SNIFFS
Have you ever shot a person before?
Yeah. - HANDCUFFS JINGLE
I said, put your hands up.
First one's always the toughest.
Most people don't have it in them. - Mr Persikof.
There's something that stops us from pulling that trigger.
Even when we have every reason.
It's a person in front of us, a human being. - Shut up!
And if you're the type of person who could pull that trigger
you'll also be the type of person who could listen to what I'm saying
without freaking out.
Put your hands back up.
No.
Hm? - Oh, I wonder what's taking Abraham so long?
I'm gonna call him. - Oh, no, no.
That's not necessary, I'm sure he's just caught up chatting.
Oh! - Oh!
Oh. - Oh.
What's that? Uh, yeah.
Julia, are we all set for our big honouree?
I have my own gun pointed at my head.
She found your son.
Oh, good. - Yeah.
I need you to bring his mother to the kitchen
or I die.
LIFT DOOR CLANKS OPEN
This can't be about tax-evasion.
Oh, Max.
Nothing? Not even a...
"Who's Max"?
Or maybe a...
you know I had a-- - I knew a guy
like you, who wouldn't stop talking
and the only way I could get him to shut up
was by sticking a gun in his mouth and pulling the trigger.
Made his tongue come out the back of his neck.
Now that is something to see.
BACKGROUND KITCHEN NOISES
Oh, you know what? I forgot something in the ballroom, I'll be right back.
OK? - SHE SIGHS
Mum. - What the hell's she doing here?
What's going on? - Who were you with?
A nice young man. - OK, where is he?
He's not coming back.
He's a coward.
OK, smart guy. Mum, we're going out the back.
My award. You promised.
I know, I'm sorry.
OK, but the jam I'm in I gotta do like Uncle Ralphie.
You gotta disappear?
I was gonna wait till you got your award. - Did you kill a man?
Ma. - That's what Uncle Ralphie did.
They're looking for you? - In New York.
Oh, Abe.
What are you gonna do with her? - I haven't decided.
Well, if you're already on the hook for murder
you might as well pop her.
Ma! - I don't mean here. In the woods somewhere.
She's not gonna go with me if she thinks I'm gonna whack her.
Ralphie said they always do, hoping for a miracle.

Hey!
You don't think I'll shoot this time?
I'm gonna remember your face.
Ever see you again...

INDISTINCT CHATTER
I can't believe he didn't recognise me.
You are one very lucky bastard.
OK, I would have used the word "heroic" personally.
Um, don't say anything about Persikof being wanted for murder
in New York. - You sure about that?
I just need a breath to--
No, I kinda feel like I wanna say something.
Dynamic duo, you two are not.
What happened to your face.
Oh, I got punched, what's your excuse?
MARIUS GRUNTING - TAYLOR: I love this guy!
Thanks for watching the kids last night, Grandpa.
Are you serious?
I wanna be the first one you call.
I got my nails done.
Huh! - JULIA: Lucy!
INDISTINCT CHATTER
How was work?
What was all that "miscommunication" about?
Oh, Brad Lewis wasn't the issue, it was Abraham Persikof.
One of yours?
Cause any problems?
None at all.
Apparently, he got confused about what date he had to be in court.
And Pete's face?
Oh, I... uh... I did that.
We were rough-housing.
Have you seen these? You do not survive a battle with these unscathed.
FAMILY LAUGHS - TAYLOR: Take it down...
TAYLOR: Take it down!
GRANDMA: How old are you two? - GRANDPA: Carly...
Got a B plus on her algebra mid-term.
FAMILY APPLAUD - TAYLOR: Way to go Carl.

That's what I'm talking about.
I'm very proud of you.
Grandma, would you pass me the gravy?
Pete, could you pass that? JULIA: Got it.

JULIA: Pete?
OK?
Yeah, I'm good.
Congratulations on your B minus.
It was a B plus.
I was always a lousy student, I couldn't buy a mark-taker.
Obviously, uh...
we got off on the wrong foot.
I'm really sorry about that.
I can't force you to, uh...
to trust, or even like me.
I'm just trying to figure this all out myself.
It's all new territory for me.
I can't tell you how long it's been since I've been around a normal family.
Normal? - You know what I mean.
Anyways...
Can I make a suggestion? And I know this is probably really weird.
But, can we start over?
Hi, Carly. I'm Pete.
Your cousin.
Come on. They do it in the movies. Come on, just do it.
Come on.
Come on, just do it!

MARIUS: Eddie. - Marius!
Where were you man, I was there. I waited for like an hour.
Yeah, I saw you there.
What nothing?
Come on Eddie, give me a story. Something to make me trust you again.
They saw me get off the subway, man.
They knew something was up but I lead them away.
Just come back.
Oh, I miss you man. - Oh, shut up!
You're not good at this.
You've never been good at this.
That's why this is so stupid, Eddie.
What did they promise you?
They said if I helped to find you...
they wouldn't kill you.
And that sounded like a good deal to you?
Huh? Oh, that's the perfect deal. They throw a little money on top of that?
He's trying to help you, jackass.
VINCE: Jesus!
You are so stubborn.
VINCE: God damn!
Look, Marius, I'm gonna make this short, OK?
I'm a very reasonable man.
But even reasonable men...
You stole from me.
I can't have that.
But now you're back, right, so here's what we're gonna do.
VINCE: I'm gonna give you a week
to give me my money.
If you don't...
I'm gonna take your brother's hand
and a bolt-cutter
and I'm gonna snip off a finger.
VINCE: Next week
snip off another one.
Pretty soon I'm gonna run out of fingers.
Then what?
Vince, you're gonna be wasting your time
because I really don't care about my brother anymore.
VINCE LAUGHS SILENTLY
HE LAUGHS OUT LOUD
VINCE: You know, you had me for about two seconds.
You got seven days, Marius.
MOBILE PHONE BEEPS
Hey, Pete.
Didn't want to disturb you.
Hey, Grandma.
Got to get the eggs for tomorrow's breakfast.
Everything alright?
Oh, yeah. I was just on the... on the phone with a friend.
If I don't get these out of here tonight
there's a fox who will.
Little bastard.
Coming into our house
staking a claim to what isn't his.
We can't have that, can we?
No, Ma'am.
Oh, that's enough.
Phew, thanks.
