99 Homes Page #10

Synopsis: Around the world everyone knows that honest hard work gets you nowhere. In sunny Orlando, Florida, construction worker Dennis Nash learns this the hard way when he is evicted from his home by a charismatic, gun-toting real-estate broker, Rick Carver. Humiliated and homeless, Nash has no choice but to move his mom and nine-year old son into a shabby, dangerous motel. All is lost. Until an unexpected opportunity arises for Nash to strike a deal with the devil - he begins working for Carver in a desperate attempt to get his home back. Carver seduces Nash into a risky world of scamming and stealing from the banks and the government; he teaches Nash how the rich get richer. Living a double life, Nash hides his new boss and job from his family. He rises fast and makes real money; he dreams bigger. But there is a cost. On Carver's orders, Nash must evict honest families from their homes - just as it happened to him. Nash's conscience starts tearing him apart... but his son needs a home. In a

Put that down.

- Put it down now.

- Not gonna happen, sir.

Sir, why don't you send

your wife and kids out?

Send your wife and kids out.

Sir, drop your weapon.

The court decided my case

in 60 seconds flat.

Nobody checked the file index. Fact.

No proof of publication filed. Fact.

Nobody looked at the cancelled cheques

to prove bank payment. Fact.

The judge, he wasn't up for re-election.

He wasn't beholden

to anybody in this county.

60 seconds for a lifetime

and this is my home.

Dad.

Get in the bedroom.

- Get in the bedroom!

- No, Dennis.

- Dennis.

- Get the f*** off.

- No.

- Sir, Mr Nash.

- What the hell are you waiting for?

- Mr Nash, get back behind the car.

Get back! Sir, get back!

Stop! Stay right there.

I'm gonna shoot you.

I will shoot.

- This is my home.

- Listen to me.

- Get off of my lawn.

- This is your lawn.

- This is your home, I know.

- What are you gonna do?

Do you hear me?

The banks made more money...

- Frank.

- I have got the right to shoot anybody

who is on my property,

who sets foot on my property.

- I don't want to do this.

- Frank, I know this is your home.

Put the gun down

and let your family out, please.

Look up there. Look up there!

You see that?

That is the sun

and it is shining.

Nobody is gonna tell me

it is night when it is day.

And God Almighty could come down here

and tell me it's night

and I would know that it's day,

because I know what I know.

And nobody is gonna tell me

the sun isn't shining. Nobody.

I cheated you.

I put a forged document in your file

on the day of your court hearing, Frank.

This is your home.

All right, I'm coming out.

All right, sir.

Keep your hands up.

Walk this way slowly

with your hands up.

- Hands up.

- Put your hands up. Hands in the air.

Walk out slowly.

Keep your hands in the air.

Keep walking. Keep walking.

Stop. Turn around, face the home.

Turn around, turn around.

Now walk slowly

towards the sound of my voice.

Stop. Go down on your knees, sir.

Lie down on your stomach, sir,

with your arms extended to the side.

We're coming in, ma'am.

Stand up.

Got anything on you that could

poke me, stick in me, hurt me?

Call it in.

No, sir. No.

All right. You have the right

to remain silent.

Anything you say

can be used against you.

You have a right to have an attorney

present during questioning.

If you can't afford one,

the court will appoint one for you.

Sir.

OK, I just wanted...

He didn't do anything.

- He didn't do anything wrong.

- Calm down.

- What is your business here?

- I came here to evict Mr Greene.

- Who are you working with?

- Rick Carver Realty.

- Is Rick Carver here today?

- There he is right there.

That's a hell of a thing you did, son.

Hell of a thing.

You Rick Carver?

Sir, are you Rick Carver?

Thank you.

Yes, sir, I am.

We need to speak to you.

Don't leave.

Mm-hm.
