Daddy, what's the greatest thing

you ever saw?

The greatest thing that I ever saw.

One time, when I was a little boy...

...I was playing with my slingshot,

and I saw this jaybird.

I don't know why, but I shot him.

You killed a birdie?

I didn't mean to.

I don't even know why I shot at him,

but I felt so bad.

Then I started praying to God

that he would come back.

And all of a sudden,

the jaybird woke up.

He just... He just flew away.

God saved him?

Yeah, I think so.

Hey, Katie.

Bedtime.

Why does it always

have to be bedtime?

I'll race you inside.

December 18th.

Your last day.

No more parole.

I'm a free man.

It seems like so long ago.

So...

You wanna celebrate?

You got problems. Issues, man.

Come on, today's a good day.

I'm celebrating something.

So no problems today

and definitely no issues.

Sorry to bust up your fantasy world,

Cinderella...

...but our 5:
00 just took a nose-dive

into the Dallas river.

We lost a thousand cases.

- All right, call in a four-shift.

- Okay.

Have them pull a swing. I want another

truck loaded and off by 11.

All right?

Yeah?

- Did you hear about the 5:00?

- Yeah.

Hell, if it ain't always something,

huh?

We'll make up for it by tomorrow.

How's the driver?

Broken leg.

Passerby pulled him out.

Who says

there's no more heroes, huh?

How's your little girl?

She's good. She's an angel.

Love every moment.

It kills you when they leave.

I'll call the driver's wife.

- Ben.

- Yeah.

You're doing a great job.

Thanks.

I can schedule the classes

around Katie's school.

And if I score over 80 on the test,

RealTops guarantees me a job.

How much is the class?

It's $ 1100.

This could be really good for us.

I can make money selling homes.

Enough that we can move out

of the city, on a lake.

- But Dallas isn't that bad, come on.

- I know.

There's a RealTops office

in Marietta.

When that brewery opens...

But they haven't offered me

the job yet.

Yeah, but they will.

Danny trusts you.

He'll want you running that place.

You really wanna live

in the country, huh?

lt'd be nice to look out the window and

see something other than concrete.

I like the country too.

- Why, you mother... You mother...

- Watch your mouth.

You know how Dad felt about cussing.

- They let you out early?

- They can't keep you forever.

Not on burglary, anyway.

- Good to see you, big brother.

- It's good to see you, okay?

Hey, Lisa.

- It's good to see you.

- Yeah.

Good to see you too.

Look at you.

Prettiest little girl on planet Earth.

- Katie, this is your uncle Ricky.

- I've seen your picture.

That's funny, that's really funny...

...because I got a picture of you

in my wallet.

How long are you in town for?

I don't know.

I gotta get her to bed.

- I love you, baby.

- Hey, it's good to see you. It's...

Yeah.

I'm sorry I couldn't come visit you.

Florida's a long drive.

And jail ain't a place

for your little angel.

She's beautiful, Ben.

Hey, Ricky,

there's blankets in the closet.

Thanks, but I got a room.

I didn't wanna impose.

All right, I'm going to bed.

You boys

don't drink yourself stupid.

Good night.

How's Marilyn?

She's not a part of my life anymore.

I got something.

I got something good.

Supercomputers.

Ones like the military uses.

The internals, wiring and switches...

...all custom-made,

lined with a common conductor.

Gold.

I'm not talking gold bars.

I'm talking something so low-profile,

a rent-a-cop watches the place.

Dust. Gold dust.

Untraceable.

The lab stocks 30 pounds of it.

You can carry that out

with a knapsack.

All I need is a dialer.

Look, Ricky.

Every day I was inside,

all I could think about was my family.

You know that Katie was 3 years old

when I got out?

Three years old.

And she didn't even know

who the hell I was.

I can't go back in.

You ever think

about what we'd be doing...

...if Dad hadn't killed himself?

All the time.

I'm heading to Utah Sunday.

Till then, I'm at the Six Days Inn.

Don't be stupid, Ricky.

You're out. Stay out.

If you change your mind, call me.

I'm calling you no matter what,

but I'm not changing my mind.

- I love you.

- You too.

Dad?

Ben.

Damn it, Ben.

Don't smoke in bed.

You're gonna burn this place down.

Are you okay?

I am fine.

I just had another bad dream.

I'm sorry.

May I see? Are you all right?

You're all right.

What did Ricky want?

He just wanted to say hi.

Other side. Okay?

- Stop it, Daddy.

- One more, one more.

Love you, guys.

Yeah.

Joey said you wanted to talk to me.

Yeah, sit down, Ben.

Well, this must be serious.

It seems like we mostly talk

with my head poking through the door.

Yeah, that's true.

I mean, that's... That's how we talk.

You upset with me, Danny?

Oh, God, no, Ben.

You're one of the good ones.

That's what's making

this position I'm in...

Well, it's making me sick.

I gotta let you go.

I put you in

to run the new place in Marietta.

The owners

did a background check.

- Your record came up.

- Yeah, that was a long time ago.

Hell, I don't care

what you did in the past, Ben.

I've made some bad choices

in my life too.

Yeah, well, then talk to them, Danny.

Tell them I'm not the same man.

I have talked to them, Ben.

Hell, they wanted you gone

three weeks ago.

Danny, this job is everything to me.

I'm sorry.

Hi.

Hey.

- I see you got your books already.

- Yeah.

All I gotta do is study for five months

and we are home free.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm all right, just...

I'm... I'm tired.

I'm just gonna lay down.

Yeah.

Tomorrow night.

Why did you change your mind?

Life changed it for me.

Just get in the back.

Hey, give us a second.

Ready?

Who in the hell is that?

His name is Phelps.

And he's the one that gave me the tip.

We were inside together.

He's okay, man.

He's just an extra pair of eyes, is all.

You didn't tell me about Phelps,

Ricky.

I didn't tell you,

because I knew how you'd react...

...and I need you.

No, I can't do this.

Period. Tell him.

Let's get the hell out of here.

Ben...

Phelps, he works for someone.

A guy I owe a lot of money to.

And they...

They want their money now. Tonight.

And they're not the kind of people...

...who would understand

why it didn't happen tonight.

They're gonna kill me, Ben.

Let's go.

Hold this.

Come on, man. It's cool, man.

Ricky told me. No guns. I know.

You'll do as you're told.

- What's with all the colored ones?

- Watch this.

Yellow's video.

Red's audio.

Green is the alarm companies.

Most of the others are dummies.

All right.

All right, five minutes

until the alarm company...

...knows they have crossed wires.

It means we have three.

- Ready?

- Yeah, ready.

Let's go.

All right.

Almost looks real.

All right,

you know what you're doing.

Make sure no one surprises.

We're going straight in. Ready?

Let's go.

Touch that thing and we all go

boom-boom. Show me your hands.

You, right there.

Come with me.

Come on, come on, come on.

Let's go.

Get out of here, come on.

John Glenn

Colonel John Herschel Glenn Jr. (July 18, 1921 – December 8, 2016) was a United States Marine Corps aviator, engineer, astronaut, and United States Senator from Ohio. In 1962, he became the first American to orbit the Earth, circling it three times. Before joining NASA, Glenn was a distinguished fighter pilot in World War II, China and Korea. He shot down three MiG-15 aircraft, and was awarded six Distinguished Flying Crosses and eighteen Air Medals. In 1957, he made the first supersonic transcontinental flight across the United States. His on-board camera took the first continuous, panoramic photograph of the United States. He was one of the Mercury Seven, military test pilots selected in 1959 by NASA as the United States' first astronauts. On February 20, 1962, Glenn flew the Friendship 7 mission, becoming the first American to orbit the Earth, and the fifth person and third American in space. He received the NASA Distinguished Service Medal in 1962 and the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978, was inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame in 1990, and was the last surviving member of the Mercury Seven. Glenn resigned from NASA in January 1964. He planned to run for a U.S. Senate seat from Ohio, but an injury in February 1964 forced his withdrawal. He retired from the Marine Corps the following year. He lost a close primary election in 1970. A member of the Democratic Party, Glenn first won election to the Senate in 1974 and served for 24 years until January 1999. In 1998, while still a sitting Senator, Glenn became the oldest person to fly in space as a crew member of the Discovery space shuttle and the only person to fly in both the Mercury and Space Shuttle programs. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. more…
