Everyone down.

Down on the floor.

Down on the ground.

Just listen to me, and

no one will get hurt.

Lock the door.

Lock it.

No. Please do not! No.

7 MINUTES

Wake up.

Wake up, sleepy head.

Hi.

Hey.

Are you ok?

Yeah! I am fine.

Why?

I do not know.

It is just these past couple

days you just seem different.

I am ok.

Look! We are going

to make this work.

We are going to get on our feet.

We are going to get

out of this town.

We are never going to look back.

Ever.

This whole county was Indians.

Just open land as far

as the eye could see.

Do you know how the

settlers took over?

I heard they won

it in a poker game.

I am serious here.

Ok!

They had superior firepower.

Nope.

More complicated than that.

They could not just go

in there guns blazing.

They were hopelessly

outnumbered.

What they did was they pitted

the tribes against each other.

And they stirred up a

whole bloody Indian war.

After the dust settled and the

tribes had just about wiped...

Each other out,

those old generals.

Just waltzed in and

took it for themselves.

At least they got

to keep the casinos.

I am telling you. We have

been cursed ever since.

Cursed?

No. I am not cursed.

You are cursed.

Are you guys ready?

Yeah.

Are you ok?

Yeah.

Usually I am the jittery one.

All right!

We got this.

Get your game face on.

Everyone get down.

Get down on the floor.

Get down on the ground.

Just listen to me, and

no one will get hurt.

Just do as we say,

and you can get back.

To rob everybody else.

You got it.

Stay down.

Lock the door.

I got it.

What the f*** was that?

It is ok.

You are going to be ok.

No one is going to get hurt.

Get your cell phone out now.

You got a cell phone.

Here.

What about you?

The purse.

Great.

How about you Granny?

Jesus Christ.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

What the f*** are you

talking to her.

Get over there in the corner.

You. Too.

Hurry up!

Hey! Hurry up!

Now! Now.

Move, move, move.

Stop right there.

Sam?

Hut.

3 YEARS EARLIER

Go! Go!

All right here we go.

Right F, 32 dive.

No, listen up.

10, 43. Action.

Sam what is the point?

We are down by 14, man.

The game is over.

We are not going to lie down.

We are going to finish this.

Come on!

I am with you.

On one.

Ready.

Come on!

Ready.

Set.

Hut.

You look good for a guy.

Who just got his ass kicked?

Really?

What?

I just want to

remember you like this.

Just like the way.

You are right now.

Before you go off to

your big fancy college,

big fancy scholarship.

Your fans are going to be

screaming and all the girls.

I want to be with you, and

that is never going to change.

3 YEARS LATER

Kate?

You look beautiful.

You are just saying it.

Hey.

Come here.

I just want to be able

to take care of you.

Well! I can take care of myself.

No! I mean really

take care of you.

We used to have plans. You know.

I know.

Now all are going to happen.

Everything is going

to turn around.

It is just going to take a little

more time than we move on.

That is all.

Take off.

Ok.

Do not be late for work.

I will not.

Look! Look! I get it. All right?

You want to work hard, make

an honest living. Do it...

The way dad did it.

However, let me tell you something,

in case you have not noticed,

That completely American dream?

That... That ship has sailed.

The world does not work

like that anymore.

You want to see me selling dope.

It is not about drugs.

It is about us.

It is family.

You are my little brother, and

I am trying to help you out.

I know you are in a

tight spot right now.

And you have it all figured out?

I hope he does not think he is

giving you advice out here.

How is it going? Annie.

Oh! It is going.

She needs to take a nap.

Oh! Justice is so sleepy.

I know.

Sam! I am not just telling

You this to hear myself talk.

This could be a good

thing for both of us.

Yeah.

I had better go.

Come on!

Bring it in.

Keep punching that clock.

Yeah.

Hey! Come on in.

You. You need a beer.

Anything?

No. I am good.

We are going upstairs.

All right!

Sweet.

You do not want to smoke one.

I have to get back.

You catch the game last night.

No, I missed it.

I thought everyone around

here watched the games.

Actually, the dude used to play.

A couple of years ago. Right?

He busted his ankle

first game out.

That is terrible.

You got any Ecstasy.

What you see is what you get.

Sweet. All right!

Well, nice doing

business with you.

Yeah.

Come back with some Ecstasy.

This is the last one tonight.

Last one.

Let us get out of here.

Oh! Hang on.

I got a little

something for you.

Oh! Sh*t!

Thanks! Man.

It is not bad.

It is good to have you back.

Dude. That was good.

Hey! What do you think?

The markup is on Ecstasy.

It is a hell of a

lot better than weed.

Why do you ask?

Just thinking.

Right!

Sam?

Hey!

Where have you been?

I thought I told you I was

picking up an extra shift.

I went down there, Sam.

I went to the factory.

I thought I would bring you some

lunch and you were not there.

And they said you were lay off.

So tell me where you were and

what you were doing.

And do not lie to me.

What is that?

I figured I ought

to make something...

Out of my college experience.

You are working for Mike.

This is for us.

This is not for us. Sam.

I do not need this.

You want to raise our kid here.

What about getting out of here.

Getting out of this town.

You are not a criminal.

You are not Mike.

You do not even know the

first thing about it.

It turn out there is

not much to it.

Do I have any say in this?

How long have we been saving?

Every week you put half

your tips in there,

and at the end of the

month it is all gone.

And we still cannot

pay the bills.

I get it.

But where does it end?

Get them over there.

In the corner.

Now. Go.

Do think you can come

in here and threaten me?

Come in here with a gun.

Who the hell you think you are.

The money you stole.

That is all we want.

Just give us the

keys to the safe.

Who are you?

Robin Hood?

Hey! Check his

desk for the keys.

Go ahead.

Look all you want.

There is nothing in there.

I never keep the keys on site.

Your father's be really

proud of you right now.

Do not.

Do not talk about him.

There is nothing in there.

He is lucky he did not

live to see this.

Pathetic.

No keys.

That is what I told you.

You want to play

it that way. Pops?

Look! I have been telling you.

There is nothing in there.

You are just not

listening to me.

Just give us the money.

And let us get out of here.

You would not be lying to us.

F*** you.

Look at that tall

drink of water.

Sweet baby Owen.

Did they pop your

cherry in there?

Lick me.

Well! Sweet cheeks,

the important thing...

Is did you learn your lesson?

I learned never to

underestimate a mall cop.

No. Numb nuts.

Do not get caught.

Do not get caught.

You better not have said

nothing to nobody in there.

I would say sh*t.

You better not

have or I will kill you.

I will drop your
