to his f***ing grave!

We just need to wait

for Smashmouth.

Smashmouth is a psychopath.

We ain't getting our money back!

Open your f***ing eyes, man!

Holy sh*t.

High school girls, man.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, bend over.

Are you serious?

Your dick is blinding you, man.

It's just having fun.

This isn't fun.

Hey.

How old are you?

18. Why?

Give me the f***ing money.

You're acting like a juvenile.

Jesus.

You know, Samuel was right.

We're stuck in the mud.

God, I'm better than this sh*t.

No, you're not.

We are who we are, Beckett.

We are who we are.

Well, I'm outta here.

Can't go anywhere, dude.

I have the car.

Get outta here.

Get outta here.

Get outta here!

Get the f*** outta here!

It's okay, Samuel.

Oh, it's... it's super late.

I know. I snuck out.

I have something for you.

Well, you had something

for me last time, too.

I found this in

my grandfather's stuff.

I'm sorry.

It's kind of old,

but I think you might like it.

1961?

This is his first appearance.

This is his origin.

You know, just like

Shakespeare's Prince Hal,

everyone underestimated

the Phantom Halo.

Prince Hal?

Yeah. He ran with

this group of thieves

in the underbelly of London,

and then he threw away

his old clothes

and became King Henry V

and then successfully

conquered France.

I... I can't...

I can't take this.

This is worth, like, $100,000.

What's going on in there?

Beckett!

That's my pop.

Samuel!

He's drunk.

Beckett. It's so late.

I don't even know

what I'm doing here.

What happened to your face?

Don't worry.

Little Larry's fine.

I wasn't asking

about Little Larry.

I gotta get out of here, Rose.

My whole family, we gotta go.

What do you mean?

When I was a kid,

my mom used to take off her

wedding rings to do the dishes.

She had this weird idea that the

dish soap would wear away the gold.

She loved those rings,

said they were the prettiest

things she'd ever owned.

When I was 13...

my dad lost his paychecks

at the track.

He knew she'd kill him,

so he told me

to steal those rings.

So... But instead, I went

to my friend's house.

I took their TV

and all their jewelry.

Heh.

But I was untrained.

I got caught.

And that was the bad stuff?

I did what I was told,

and I took the rings.

The day before

I got out of juvie,

my mom found 'em in my room.

When she asked me

why I took 'em...

all I could think about

was protecting my father.

So I looked her in the eye...

and I said,

"Because it

was an easy take."

Nothing was ever the same between us,

and then she left.

And you think she left

because of you.

Wouldn't you?

You can think what you want,

but she left two young

boys with a drunk.

I have something for you.

You took that?

You... You make me

want to be honest.

Not necessary.

We are even.

I'm coming back

tonight to get you.

I won't be here.

I'm not gonna

say goodbye to you.

Carlene, Carlene,

I need the money now.

You said under no circumstances to

give you that money before closing.

I'll give you $1,000 if

you give it to me now.

No. I'll see you

at closing.

No, no, no.

Things have changed.

Now means now.

So you'll give me $1,000

and promise you

won't get me fired.

A thousand times, yes.

This is the employees' bathroom.

Come out!

Come out!

We're good.

You're naughty.

Oh, I am.

Where'd you get

all this money, anyway?

Oh,

I am a part-time stripper.

Whoo! Heh heh.

You're funny.

Still sealed.

Good girl.

Here.

See, that's...

Here.

Ha ha!

Samuel.

Samuel.

What?

Let me in.

I... I left something

in your closet.

What were you doing in my room?

Beckett told me I could hide

something in your closet.

No, you're lying.

Beckett knows there's

nothing safe in this house.

Jesus, come on in.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

W-What are you doing?

No. No!

Come on! No! F***!

What the hell are you doing?

Where is it,

you little sh*t, huh?

What? Get off me!

Where is it, huh?

Come here.

You little f***.

Where's my money?!

What are you doing?

Where's my f***ing money, huh?

You left money in this house?

Unbelievable.

No, it was...

Donny.

You know I hate

coming here, right, Rosie?

I gave that boy everything.

And he appreciates it.

We appreciate it.

Did you know I waited

two hours today?

And now I got this bag of lunch here

for you to give to Little Larry,

but I'm guessing he is not here.

No, he's not.

Huh.

Rumor has it he's

been driving a Bentley.

Bentley, as in

like Rolls-Royce?

Yeah.

Jesus, Donny.

Hey, he's been seen.

Let me get you a drink.

Sh*t!

He's out spending

counterfeit money

all over town right now.

We are so screwed.

What, counterfeit?

What were you thinking about

putting the money in this house?

He couldn't possibly

have spent all the money.

How much? What?

150K.

He's in the gutter right now

throwing all of that up.

Are you guys messing with me?

My dad?

He's probably having

the time of his life right now.

You're a f***ing idiot.

You know, I never understood

what Beckett

ever liked about you.

We're brothers.

You're not...

Beckett and I are brothers,

and you're just

some a**hole from the past

that thinks it's a good idea

to hide money

in the house of a thief.

You and Beckett are the thieves!

Well, what the hell

does that make you?

I'm an entrepreneur!

Oh, my God.

You smell like her.

Okay, chill out.

Chill out.

You son of a b*tch.

You are never

gonna see her again.

Back off!

Damn!

Where'd you learn to do that?

Phantom Halo did it once

to the Stinger.

I've always wanted

to try it out.

Whew.

He changed the key code

on the door at work, Rose.

I've never been there.

How the hell am I supposed

to know what he's up to?

I need some distraction.

'Cause I'm an angry man, Rosie,

and I'm trying

not to hurt anybody.

Get out.

You need to take care

of the hand that

f***ing feeds you first.

Play nice.

You make me so horny.

Fine. F***ing

play dirty then.

Might be more

f***ing fun that way.

F***ing fight.

You've got the knife.

You know, it's over for him.

It's over for your boy.

Father's home.

Prepare his bed.

Whoo!

Where's the money, Dad?

Boys, I had

quite a night tonight.

$150,000?

I had quite a night!

Quite a night.

Where's the money?

It's gone. It's gone.

Of course it is.

I'm gonna have to kill Roman.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We are not murderers

in this house.

This is what separates us

from the beasts.

You don't understand.

Little Larry trusted me.

We had a plan.

Trust?

Who would trust us? A plan?

I mean, look at us.

We're pathetic.

And you, you are weak,

and you hurt everyone...

What?!

Hey, no, no, no.

Wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait.

I saved a bit for Roman.

Look. Look.

Look, huh?

This isn't enough.

No, no, no. Wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

One more. Huh?

I have another one somewhere.

Wait, wait, wait.

What the hell is that?

It's Samuel's.

How many times did I tell you not

to bring this sh*t in this house?!

Give me that.
