Graduation Page #5

Now tie her up.

Carl, she's your

girlfriend.

Why don't you

tie her up?

Now, Carl.

Carl, don't do this.

Don't do this.

Carl, what part of

her walking to the cops

Do you not

understand?

She walks, we go to jail,

and your mom still dies.

Why don't you guys

get that, huh?

She's not gonna

say anything, okay?

You understand?

She's not gonna talk.

Right, Suzy? You're not gonna

say anything, right, Suzy?

You wanna take

that chance, Carl?

You're not gonna

say anything, right?

No, I'm not gonna

say anything.

She's gonna

walk out of here.

She's gonna pretend like none

of this ever happened, okay?

- Okay?

- No, Carl, please.

Hey, Chauncey,

put the gun down.

- No.

- I'm backing up. Back up.

No.

- Chauncey, I'm turning around.

- No, Carl, don't do this.

- I'm sorry.

- Carl!

Really helped

shape us into--

into--

--people from these

raw lumps of clay.

And-- and--

And we're gonna be...

...the leaders of tomorrow...

Today, thank you.

We got E.M.S.

Standing by?

What the hell?

- They're in position, sir.

- Wave to me, boys.

This is Captain Hale.

You'll do what I ask

when I ask it.

I don't know if you've tried

these stunts anywhere else,

but you're

in Forge Hills now

and we do things a little

different in Forge Hills.

We do 'em my way.

What did they say,

Sir?

Talk to me like that again and I'll

shoot a hostage in the gut, okay?

I'll give him the phone and I'll

let him tell you how he likes

The way you run things

in Forge Hills.

Do you understand me?

Yeah, I understand.

I want a helicopter.

I want pizzas--

Five--

Delivered to the door.

In return,

I'll give you two hostages.

Give me half an hour.

I want someone

from the crowd--

The redhead in the robe.

What does he want?

Wrigley, call Johnny's.

Get me five pizzas.

What would you like

on them, Sir?

Do I look like

I give a good goddamn?

- Dean, I need to talk to you.

- Okay.

Polly, the gunman's asked for food,

but he won't let my men deliver it.

- He asked for you.

- What? No!

- You don't have to go inside--

- Send somebody else.

You don't have to go inside.

You go up to the door.

- Drop the pizzas and step away.

- Absolutely not, no.

Dean, I wouldn't have asked

this if he didn't have hostages.

He can have whatever's in the

vault. He cannot have my daughter.

No, Dad, I can help.

It's just up to the door, right?

Look, I wanna help.

Remember, drop the pizzas

and step away.

We're ready

when you are, Polly.

Hello.

Hello.

Don't put the pizzas down.

Who's she talking to?

Chauncey, is that you?

It's Jackson.

Be careful.

There are snipers everywhere.

Who's blood is that?

Look at the police, okay?

Look like you're scared.

I am scared.

Good good.

Okay, now come inside.

Watch your step.

What's it like outside?

They're ready to cut

the power and come in.

How did this happen?

Hey.

We gotta get you out

of here, buddy.

No, wait wait wait.

Where is my necklace

and my shirt?

It's right here.

Hey hey, our friends outside

are expecting two hostages, okay?

I have to send him.

I need you to go

with him.

- He used me.

- No no no no.

He did this for his mom, all right?

Believe me, what happened between

the two of you was an accident.

This is one of my tellers.

Suzy, Suzy, are you okay?

Suzy, how many hostages

are still in there?

I don't know.

I guess two plus Polly.

And is she okay?

Yeah yeah, she's fine.

And how many gunmen?

There's just one gunman,

and he's wearing a mask.

Tell me you didn't bring me in here

just to help you think of a plan.

I didn't bring you in here

to help me think of a plan.

I'm serious, Jackson.

Well, aren't you

gonna answer that?

Come on, come on,

come on.

What is that?

It's a secret.

Where's my helicopter?

It's on its way.

Give me 10 more minutes.

No no, you've had

half an hour.

I just can't pull a

helicopter out of my ass.

- We need more time.

- No, no time.

Okay, get her out.

Get her out!

We'd better hurry.

Chauncey.

Cut power to the bank.

All units, we're going in!

Polly, come on.

Set the charges.

Everybody back around the side.

Where is he?

- Polly!

- Polly!

- How are you, honey?

- Good.

Smart bastard.

Took what he could

and torched the rest.

Aren't you coming in?

No.

No, you and Jackson go.

I don't think Carl

wants to see me.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

And tell Mary

I said I'm sorry.

- I can come by later--

- No no.

No, it's cool.

I'm gonna be okay

on my own.

How is she?

Sleeping.

Carl.

Carl, I have to go.

I was hoping maybe I could

say goodbye to her.

What?

Yeah yeah. She'd be

pissed if you didn't.

You left this

at the bank.

From your

great uncle Manfredi.

Jackson, you look...

Different.

I do?

You're all grown up.

I don't understand.

Why do you have to leave?

You know how many times

I've jumped off that bridge?

And I've never made

a wish for myself

'cause I never knew

what I wanted.

You don't have to leave

to figure it out, Jackson.

I'm not.

# you're in the moon,

but your head's #

# in the stars #

# now you can run #

# but you can't hide #

# who you are... #

- Dad.

- Polly.

I'd--

I'd like to see my safety

deposit box, Mr. Deeley.

Please.

Mr. Deeley, I finished

transferring Barbara's files.

Thank you, Charlie.

Watch the counter for me

till I'm finished, will you?

Where's Barbara?

A management job opened up

in Iron City, so...

Polly, I want you

to know--

Hey.

Ready.

Okay, let's go.

Whoa-oh-oh-oh.

He didn't-- he--

He didn't suspect

anything.

You want a ride?

I think I'll walk.

Polly...

Thank you.

Everything changes

the day you graduate.

Look at the four

of us.

Carl inherits the money

to help his mom

And lands the girl

of his dreams.

Chauncey's heading

for State,

ready for a new life

on his own.

Polly will go to Harvard

And probably

never look back.

As for me,

I'm doing more than anyone

expects of a kid

With bad grades

and no prospects.

I'm pursing a career.

Of all things.

Sorry, ma'am, we're just

running a little late today.

- Where's Mr. Connelly?

- He has the flu.

Everyone has it. So anyway,

he called this morning

To see if I would come in

and hold up the fort.

Hold up the fort?

What can I do

for you today?

Well...

I'd like

to make a deposit.

I just get so nervous

keeping all this cash

around the house.

Think you can take that

off my hands?

That's what I do,

ma'am.

# 12 miles to nowhere

your head #

mystical crowd with no laughs #

# but you're keeping

your head #

# see the sky's gonna

dot your eyes, but damn #

# keeping your head #

# get me down 'cause

you can't hear a sound #

# 'cause I know,

I know your hands are #

# I know you are keeping

your head from falling down #

# 12 miles to nowhere,

you're out of gas #

# keeping your head #
