I had Tony's back, okay?

Great. So you'll be

working nights now.

You can go.

There he is.

Dirty Harry-

Yeah, good job with that.

Aren't you supposed to bring

the money inside at night?

I don't know, are we?

- I'm just asking.

- So are we.

The money will be fine out there.

Exactly. Just keep an eye

on the monitors and we'll all be fine.

Got that?

Good.

Let's go.

The bosses don't give a sh*t.

Why should we?

Exactly. F*** that.

I got kids at home.

The f***ers are giving

Tony's wife 5,000

instead of 50. I know

they're stealing it, trust me.

- What, the owners are?

- F*** yeah, the owners.

Everybody's up to sh*t in there.

Everybody.

Yeah, everyone except you, bro.

Yeah well, the place is a joke.

Oh, let's cross. F***ing...

I don't want to deal with those guys.

- Let's cross.

- What, your father working today?

- No, he...

- What?

- They let him go.

- What?

After 10 years

- F***ing a**holes.

- That's it, no more. F***ing...

Thinking they're big shits

in their Cadillacs, right?

- F***ing big shots.

- Excuse me?

I'm just saying you fire this guy's

f***ing father after 10 years?

Sorry, I'm not sure

I'm hearing you right.

I think the least

you could do is be a little loyal.

Let's go.

- I don't know what you're saying.

- F***ing big shots

in their Cadillacs, right?

Big sh*t.

- I take the trains, yo.

You know what? You should rob

that place where you work.

You say the place

ain't got no security, so.

Yeah, you're right. I should.

Yeah, I am right! What,

you don't think they'll screw it over?

They screwed your friend over.

Look at him.

F***ing widow.

Think about that.

Think about his kids, bro.

Yeah, I should rob them.

Yeah, you should.

We'll fix them, right? Yeah.

F***.

Sh*t.

This is Chris. Code 18249.

Yo, this is Honeywell.

Got a reading the gate's open there?

Yeah, I don't know. The...

the light was blinking,

but it looks good now.

All right. Cops say we get

a signal, we've gotta call.

No worries.

Call if there's a problem.

- Okay.

- All right.

All right, bro, just let me...

- show it to me one more time.

- Just keep your f***ing voice down.

- Let me see one more.

- Cut the sh*t, all right?

Holy sh*t!

And they won't know?

They don't even

count it half the time.

Jesus, holy sh*t.

The camera doesn't even see the door

when it opens. The place is a joke.

Like I even want to f***ing take it.

- You know, f*** it, right?

Do you understand?

You gotta get me a job at this place.

Do you know what I could

do with $25,000?

I could pay for my f***ing wedding,

my f***ing car.

Shh, keep your f***ing mouth down.

Calm down, okay?

Trust me,

I did this for a reason.

- Yeah, to take the money!

- No, it's just f***ed up,

what they did to Tony's family.

The guy had a f***ing wife,

- a little girl.

- Yeah listen, I feel terrible too,

but you know what?

Can we go out and party already?

- All right, yeah. F*** it.

- Thank you. Jesus.

- I gotta make one stop before we go.

Hey, let's go.

Get your f***ing eye...
