" as he laid aside the book.

Shouting, "

" Praise the Lord

and pass the ammunition. "

" Praise the Lord

and pass the ammunition. "

" And we'll all stay free. "

I wanted

to go over there so bad...

Fight side by side

like you guys,

wear that uniform.

I told them.

I told them, "I want

to fight for my country."

But I had pimples

all over my face.

I was 15.

I couldn't hide it.

Maybe that's why

God gave you acne.

But I didn't know

they didn't let you fight

if you had pimples.

It's not the pimples.

Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.

Um, can I have

your attention, please?

Shh.

I got something that I...

that I found.

I'd like to read it to you.

You ready?

Um...

"if your beloved

has the life of a fire,

step in now and burn along."

Oh, my God, that is so sweet!

I thought you'd understand.

Yeah?

And I will, Lenny.

And you're all invited

to the wedding!

Wait, wait, wait.

Where are we doing this?

Montreal.

The French won't know us

in Montreal. Montreal.

Montreal is romantic.

Hey, to Lenny and Ann!

Hey, guys, live happy.

Live happy.

Hey, Billy,

you want to come help

with the next tray?

Yeah, sure.

All right, come on in.

All right.

This...

Okay, buddy.

When this gets here,

you tell me, all right?

- Okay.

- All right.

Now, see what she's doing?

Soak it up,

and after you soak it up,

you crunch it all up, okay?

Okay...

All right, and keep lookin'

at this, though, all right?

I got breakfast goin'.

What do you guys want?

I got pancakes, and I got eggs.

I want eggs boiled soft,

the way Mommy makes them.

And coffee too.

Coffee?

All right,

I don't know about coffee.

We'll see.

Eddie?

It's okay. Everything's fine.

All right, kids,

get ready to watch your dad.

Ready? What do we think here?

Two at a time?

Whoohoo!

Yo!

One more.

- Whoa!

Sh*t.

Eddie?

Sh*t!

F***.

Eddie?

What's going on?

You are both ex-soldiers.

Has that factored

in to your investigation?

I'm treating this like I would

any other criminal case.

In your memory,

has there ever been

this kind of media coverage?

I think there has been

unwarranted sensationalism

around these crimes.

Some are saying they're

in Cuba living the high life.

What do you think?

We've sealed the borders

loan assure you.

We're closing in on Eddie Boyd

and his gang.

Those are the words

of Detective David Rhys.

"Eddie Boyd." folk hero

or just plain thief?

Always knew

you wouldn't stay blue.

You were a good kid

to train, eh?

Thanks.

No.

How's the family?

Got a third on the way.

Welcoming it,

but that's gonna be it.

No more.

The situation is bad, eh?

He can't go on.

He's got to come in.

I don't know where he is.

We don't speak. We don't...

Where do you think

he might be...

or might do?

I... I don't know.

I don't know who he is.

But...

he's still my boy.

And, uh...

Billy?

Eat your breakfast.

Willy.

Stop it, all right?

I can't believe

he's on the phone.

It's about time.

Okay. I'm ready.

And?

She had a boy.

All right,

can we do this now?

Get down on the ground!

Get on the ground!

Okay, everyone!

Your attention, please.

Hi. How are ya?

Hey, fill it up.

There you go. There you go.

There you go.

Faster.

" Everyone you... "

Hello, everybody!

Welcome to the show.

We are...

The Boyd Gang.

Please,

everybody in the center.

In the center, in the center.

Please, sir.

Thank you.

Eddie, what the f***

are you doing?

Hurry up! Come on!

" A woman long ago. "

" A mother just like yours. "

This just in.

The Boyd Gang's

largest bank haul yet.

The biggest heist

in the nation's history.

It's already on the radio!

There's my girl!

Yeah!

I got you a little money,

honey.

All right, you two,

let's get you to Montreal

and get you married.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

I gotta bless you

for your trip.

- You're not coming?

- I can't.

Doreen wants me to stay.

I gotta stay.

Our father who aren't in heaven

hallowed is thy name.

Thy kingdom is none.

Thy will is done.

Hallelujah, Boyd,

but you know what?

You're comin' with us

to Montreal!

He's coming with us!

" Haven't you noticed

more cops? "

" I'm scared, 'cause no one else

around me seems scared. "

" I'd buy a gun

and be prepared. "

What are you doing?

This is what we used

to do back home

during the war.

If anyone wants to come in,

they can't.

No, I...

I understand.

I was just a f***.

So now it's time to settle down

and do what's right?

F***.

Wow, that f***ing b*tch

gets herself pregnant.

Oh, my God!

But your parents

must be so happy.

I should've never have

told you I couldn't...

Shh.

You know it's not like that.

F*** you. You know what?

You can't quit, because you're

a f***ing dumb-ass doorman.

You know that?

F*** you.

Hey, it's me.

Please don't hang up.

Doreen, don't hang up.

Look, I couldn't get out of it.

Those guys look to me.

So do your family.

Listen, Doreen,

when I get back,

we're going to get

a nice place.

It's got a big backyard.

I already got Mary

working on it.

I was keeping it a surprise

for you and the kids.

Eddie, do you remember London,

my room?

Do you remember

what you would say to me

when I couldn't sleep,

when you were holding onto me?

You remember?

Those bombs were falling,

and I couldn't sleep.

They were really good things

to think about.

Your dreams.

You made them ours.

And I believed you.

I didn't think it would be

like this, Eddie.

Mary Mitchell.

Haven't seen you in a while.

I can't even go five steps

without seeing your face.

I mean, you're the cop

in all the papers.

What is that like?

You didn't come here

to talk about me, did you?

There you go.

Just how you like it.

Sure the schools

are great here, Eddie.

Hmm?

We should enroll them.

Hmm?

Perhaps we should throw

a dinner party as well

for all our old friends.

We haven't seen them

for so long.

They'd love this place.

Doreen,

don't be like that, okay?

Don't be like that?

Yeah, don't be like that!

Well, I'm sorry that I'm not

jumping for joy, Eddie.

This place isn't great,

and I'm not great,

because things aren't

f***ing great.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I can't speak

like your new buddies?

Don't look at me like that.

You want some more?

Your father, he warned me

about my life with you.

He told me, and I didn't

f***ing believe it.

That's great; now you sound

like the cesspool you came from.

That's wonderful!

- I'm leaving you, Eddie.

- You're leaving?

I'm taking the kids,

and I'm leaving.

Well, that's just

f***ing great!

Who do you think

I'm doing this for?

This is for you!

All of this is for you!

I don't want this!

You don't want this?

You don't want this life?

You don't want

the got-lots life, huh?

You don't want the house?

Fine. It's gone!

Its gone!

So I was wrong!

So f***ing shoot me!

Shoot me!

I'm pregnant, Eddie!

What?

I'm pregnant.

What are you talkin' about?

What are you talkin' about?

Come here. Come here.

Come here. Come here.

What are you talkin' about?
