02:28Eleanor, no!
02:36Lottie, I'm here to get justice for Eleanor.
02:40Justice for her?
02:44Look at your current status. You can't even get through the front doors of this building.
02:50I was just trying to collect your belongings and these assholes threw me out.
02:55Alright, you two need to get out of here.
02:58We are getting ready for a big event to welcome ET Technologies new CEO.
03:02And I do not have time for this bullshit. So leave now.
03:11Enough with your Savior Complex.
03:15You weren't there when Eleanor needed you, so don't act like you care about us now!
03:20Sorry.
03:21No, don't.
03:23See?
03:25I don't need your excuses.
03:28And you know what?
03:30The Harrison I knew died three years ago.
03:34I think I'll hold on to that version.
03:36At least he will still be here.
03:50He said you can leave, yeah?
03:53You think he can leave.
03:54He said I could leave.
03:55No, no.
03:56No, no.
03:58No, no.
03:59No, no.
03:59No, no.
03:59No, no.

04:02No, no.
04:04You mean she can leave?
04:06Did you leave yet?
04:09Oh, yeah. I remember you now.
04:13Maudie, right?
04:16Eleanor's poor, lonely little sister-in-law.
04:19The one who was grieving so hard that anyone would have thought she was your wife.
04:24You're a monster.
04:26I don't know how she ever saw any good in you.
04:28I don't know how she ever loved you.
04:34Love! Love, please! It was just business.
04:37She could not play the game.
04:39She was out of her depth.
04:41She couldn't handle losing.
04:49And what is this?
04:52Three years of playing widow got you all lonely?
04:56So you picked up some soldier boy off the street?
05:00Dude, what is this get-em?
05:02You just fled a war? Maybe?
05:04No, I got it.
05:06You just fucked up your shift at the construction site.
05:09No, you're auditioning to be Santa Claus at a shopping center nearby,
05:13but you bought the wrong costume and you're all fucked up.
05:16Is it that?
05:20You know, I got a good idea.
05:25Pharrell.
05:32You take that money and then I want you to walk out of here
05:35because this is my celebration welcome banquet
05:38and you were really killing the movie.
05:40You're fucking it up.
05:41No, Harrison.
05:42Harrison, don't.
05:45Let's just go.
05:47Listen.
05:48We don't stand a chance, okay?
05:50Dude, is that not enough money for you?
05:53It's a hundred dollar bill.
05:54When have you ever seen that before?
06:02You're Carter Baxton.
06:03That's right.
06:05So why didn't you take that money?
06:06And get the fuck out of here.
06:08I'm Harrison Braverman.
06:10Eleanor's brother.
06:13You brought a gift for your banquet today.
06:17Don't you want to get a drink with your brother-in-law?
06:22You're Eleanor's brother.
06:25That's right.
06:26You're a twin brother.
06:28Yeah?
06:28And you're just a soldier.
06:31Newly discharged.
06:37Of course.
06:39We're family, bro.
06:41Well, almost.
06:42I actually always wanted to say
06:45what happened to Eleanor.
06:47It was a terrible accident.
06:50It was a real tragedy.
06:59But today's a celebration.
07:01So let's get a drink.
07:07No, don't.
07:08This can't be good.
07:11It's okay.
07:13Just a quick hello.
07:27Hello, sir.
07:29Congratulations on your promotion to CEO, sir.
07:32You see this, Ele?
07:33Your company.
07:34Your staff.
07:35They're all dancing on your grave.
07:37Don't worry.
07:38I'm here now.
07:40Everyone.
07:42Everyone.
07:44Shut the fuck up!
07:46Okay.
07:47Everyone.
07:48My dear colleagues.
07:51Let's give a very warm welcome
07:52to the brother
07:54of our cowardly
07:56and suicidal
07:57former CEO.
07:59It's...
08:01Mr. Harrison Braverman!
08:07Oh.
08:08Pardon me.
08:09Did that hurt your feelings?
08:13I've been told I'm honest to a fault.
08:16But shit!
08:17I did mean to hurt your feelings!
08:21Fuck you.
08:22I bet this guy's here to extort
08:24Mr. Bankston's sister's death
08:26with some cash.
08:28Oh dear.
08:29I've seen this before.
08:30Some people would really do anything
08:32for money.
08:35Yeah, that's right.
08:37So true.
08:38Seriously.
08:40Look, Harrison,
08:41since I'm in a generous mood,
08:44how about I, uh,
08:45do a little favor for you.
08:47In front of all these people right now,
08:49in this room,
08:50if you say the phrase,
08:52my sister Eleanor deserved to die,
08:55if you say that three times,
08:57then I will give you...
09:02$5,000 cash!
09:05That's your best?
09:08I mean,
09:09how about it, soldier boy?
09:10Have you ever seen that kind of money before?
09:22Mike, please.
09:26Let's hear it then.
09:34Are you all done?
09:38If so, then listen up.
09:42Every single person in this room
09:44should be apologizing for what they did to Eleanor.
09:52Get a load of this guy.
09:53He thinks he's in a war room.
09:55Did he just say apologize?
09:58My God.
09:59Oh, man, you're killing me.
10:01I mean, I knew your sister was,
10:03was a loser,
10:04but this guy is crazy.
10:05Like, oh.
10:07You lost it.
10:08You all have three days.
10:10In three days time,
10:12every name I put down in this notebook
10:14will pay dearly.
10:18Oh, I've heard of this.
10:19Some Japanese anime shit.
10:21Death Note, right?
10:24You think you can scare us by what?
10:26Writing our names in your notebook?
10:28Oh, boy.
10:30Like I said,
10:31you have three days.
10:36Hey!
10:36Hey!
10:37Did I say you could go anywhere?
10:39Did I?
10:41No, I didn't.
10:42What kind of place do you think this is?
10:44That you can just come and go
10:46like a little Pac-Man
10:47going around the...
10:48Just going where the fuck you want.
10:50This is my house.
10:52I incorporated this company.
10:53It cost a lot.
10:55And I pay a fucking annual fee.
10:57You think you impress everyone?
10:58Your theatrics.
11:00Let me tell you something, Brokey.
11:03All the courts and the cops in the world
11:05couldn't pin your sister's little accident on me.
11:10And how I love to see her.
11:14So, why don't you get that little diary
11:16and take it back to Target
11:18or wherever the fuck you got it from
11:20before you embarrass yourself?
11:22Okay.
11:23This time,
11:25I'll use this.
11:31Oh my God!
11:36What the...
12:00What the fuck?
12:07You're fucking with me?
12:08Where did you get a confetti grenade?
12:10Break this clown's legs
12:12and throw them out of here!
12:46What do you want?
12:47You're not about the law.
12:48If you touch me, I will have you thrown away in jail forever.
12:52The court found you innocent?
12:55If it were up to me, you'd get the death penalty.
13:03If I wanted your life, I can take it anytime.
13:06Three days.
13:08Remember that.
13:11Hey!
13:12You motherfucker!
13:14You got some fucking nerve!
13:16You guys are limited.
13:18Who the hell is that guy?
13:19How did he get his hands on a grenade?
13:21Shouldn't we call the cops?
13:22Cops?
13:23You think some patrol cop with a handgun can handle some fucking psycho who just brought in a grenade?
13:30No.
13:31No.
13:32No.
13:32If he wants to play, he can learn to play with the big league.
13:35Everyone, I've actually just received word that the new director of the FBI will be taking office tomorrow.
13:41Of course, I will be in attendance of that swearing-in ceremony.
13:47This Harrison fuckstick, he thinks he can just fight some people off and he's untouchable?
13:57No.
13:58No.
13:59No, in this country, the only true weapon is power.
14:02So I swear to you on behalf of ET Technologies that I will ensure the new director of the FBI
14:08knows about this unrelenting danger to society who is military trained of massive danger to public safety and private property.
14:19The authorities need to know that criminal belongs in prison.
14:25Harrison, what did you do?
14:26I heard explosions and screaming.
14:29You don't think we have enough to deal with?
14:32It's handled.
14:33It was just a minor setback.
14:37Handled?
14:38How?
14:38With your fists?
14:40Is that still your solution to everything, even after three years?
14:44When are you going to start using your head?
14:46Real power to solve problems.
14:50We need to talk.
14:51Come home.
14:52Now.
14:53I need to do something.
14:55Why don't you go home first?
14:59Fine.
15:00See yourself.
15:02It's not like I haven't made it through three years alone.
15:06I guess I could just wait a little bit longer.
15:16Sir, there's something I don't quite understand.
15:19We could arrest and bankrupt Carter by tomorrow morning and do permanent damage to his name.
15:25Why give him three days?
15:28It's unlike you, sir.
15:30Marina, do you know how cats like to hunt for mice?
15:33To kill them, sir?
15:35No.
15:37Cats aren't that hungry.
15:38It's rare that they actually eat the mice.
15:40Let me catch them.
15:42Let them go.
15:43Let them run.
15:45Catch them again.
15:46Release them again.
15:47Until the mouse is exhausted and scared shitless.
15:51I see, sir.
15:52Carter is the mouse.
15:54Or a rat.
15:56Make him use every cent he's got, every connection he has to try to save himself.
16:02And just when he thinks he's done it, when he believes he'll win, that's when we move in.
16:07Let him watch it all fall apart.
16:09Can't let him off without anything.
16:11And then that moment comes, he'll regret what he did to Eleanor.
16:15But it'll be too fucking late.
16:21Oh, one more thing, sir.
16:24This just came in from D.C.
16:26You have just been named the new director of the FBI.
16:30Congratulations, sir.
16:32Tell them all they're not interested.
16:34Right.
16:34Well, I'm afraid they've already made up their minds.
16:37The message has been signed and sealed, so you'll be receiving your invitation to the swearing-in shortly.
16:44Fine.
16:46Change of plans.
16:48Take me home.
16:50I need to talk to my wife.
17:11Harrison.
17:13Oh, it's really you.
17:16Oh, you're home.
17:21Yes, ma'am.
17:22I'm home.
17:23And in one piece.
17:24Come in.
17:32Well, well, well.
17:34If it isn't my favorite deadbeat son-in-law, to what do we owe the pleasure?
17:39Come on, Arthur.
17:40The boy's just gone home.
17:43Maggie, why don't you go check on our daughter?
17:45Harrison and I need to talk man-to-man.
17:47Come on.
17:57So!
17:59Lottie came back crying today.
18:01What was that all about?
18:03Just a misunderstanding.
18:05That's all.
18:06A misunderstanding.
18:08Everything's just a misunderstanding with you, isn't it?
18:10And what about your sister Eleanor's company?
18:13Are they through with you, too?
18:16Yes.
18:18How about that?
18:22Lottie?
18:23Stay here.
18:26Harrison's right, Dad.
18:27It was just a misunderstanding.
18:31I guess sometimes it is what it is.
18:32No need for excuses.
18:36Did you hear what Lottie just said?
18:37You disappear for three years, and now you show up with nothing.
18:42Not so much as one word of explanation.
18:44What makes you think you still deserve Lottie?
18:48Come on, Dad.
18:50It doesn't even matter anymore.
18:51I'm going to get the company back.
18:53As for the current job situation, I do have an interesting offer.
18:57Oh, really?
18:59What's that?
19:00You're going to be a checker at Walmart?
19:02You're going to work down at the warehouse?
19:04You're going to be an Amazon guy?
19:06Huh?
19:07Look at her.
19:08Look at my daughter.
19:10Do you know that men would kill to have a wife that beautiful?
19:13More beautiful than the models on TV.
19:16But you, you, what is wrong with you?
19:18You disappear for three years and left her here,
19:21wasting the best years of her life.
19:23Is that enough?
19:24No.
19:25I gave you my blessing because I saw how your sister ran the family company.
19:29I fought now there as a family I could respect, I could trust.
19:33Good match for our Lottie.
19:34Then Eleanor killed herself and you got the bright idea to run off and join the army.
19:39And now you show up three years later with nothing.
19:43Nothing.
19:45You can't even avenge your dead sister.
19:48So I want you to ask yourself, do you really feel like you deserve Lottie?
19:52Arthur, enough!
19:54No.
19:55Welcome back to the real world, Harrison.
19:57I don't make the rules.
20:00I want Lottie to divorce you immediately.
20:02Ted, stop!
20:07Fine.
20:08For Lottie, I will give you one chance.
20:12You have six months and that's all you get.
20:15If you can land yourself a respectable position somewhere,
20:19or make yourself a million dollars on your own,
20:22you can still show your face in my house.
20:24Otherwise, Lottie's going to divorce you.
20:27Understood?
20:30Now Lottie, since you're here, why don't you join us for a dinner we're hosting?
20:33It's a family affair.
20:36Why tonight?
20:37Well, we've just been informed that there's a new director of the FBI
20:41and the guys are coming over to discuss the swearing-in ceremony.
20:44We think there might be an opportunity to meet some of the major players.
20:51Leave the stakes alone.
20:58You know, what my dad said was a lot, but...
21:02I mean, he's not wrong about us.
21:05Besides, it's not like there's still much of an us anymore anyway.
21:12Look, the truth is,
21:14I did get assigned a job when I was discharged.
21:17A job assignment?
21:19Harrison, not this again, please.
21:22Can we just...
21:23In six months, can you just find something respectable?
21:27A measly million?
21:29Besides, you don't even own a decent suit.
21:32No, you don't understand.
21:34The job, it's better than you think.
21:36Trust me.
21:37Trust you?
21:39Harrison, look at yourself.
21:40You don't even own anything besides the clothes on your own back.
21:43I mean, what would you be able to provide?
21:47Harrison, I need someone who can handle real life.
21:50Someone who has his feet on the ground.
21:53Talk is cheap, you know?
21:57Steaks are done.
22:11So you said ribbety.
22:12You said ribbety.
22:15What's wrong, man?
22:19So, Arthur, who is this?
22:20New help?
22:24No, Uncle Doug.
22:25That's Harrison.
22:28Harrison?
22:30Lottie's husband?
22:31I've heard about you.
22:34Prodigal son returns.
22:38Military life must be exhausting.
22:41But I guess you're not worried, right?
22:43Thanks to E.T. technologies.
22:49Sweetheart, let's...
22:51Don't talk like that.
22:52We know that E.T. technology belongs to Mr. Bankston.
22:56You don't want to embarrass our boy Harrison here.
22:59Now do we?
23:00Oh, dear.
23:02How could I forget?
23:05It's okay, Harrison.
23:07Even though you fucked up and lost your company,
23:11Uncle Doug's got your back.
23:16You're not going to starve, you.
23:17You could work for me.
23:21Who's the...
23:22Janitor.
23:26How does that sound?
23:28That's an easy job.
23:29You can handle that.
23:32All right, Dougie.
23:33Let's just lay off, huh?
23:36He's family.
23:37Let's not cross the line.
23:38Cross the line.
23:42Oh, that must be Robert.
23:52You know, our son was in the Army, too.
23:55And the FBI recruited him as soon as he was discharged.
24:00That's right.
24:02You see, it's possible to have a successful career after the Army, after all.
24:07Sorry, everyone.
24:08I had to work late at the Bureau.
24:10You know how it is.
24:11Come sit next to Mommy.
24:14Harrison, would you mind?
24:24Yeah, Harrison, why don't you go grab that chair, all right?
24:27Let Robert sit down and rest his legs.
24:36Atta boy.
24:45I don't want to even sit there and just take it.
24:48Don't you have any dignity?
24:50Lonnie, it's not worth it.
24:51Isn't that worth it?
24:53My family and I aren't worth standing up for?
24:57Harrison, if you were really someone important, do you really think my family and I would be the laughingstock because
25:02of you?
25:04You know, it would have been a lot better if you had never come back.
25:10I made my peace with it three years ago.
25:15Losing you?
25:17That, that was easier than having some coward for a husband.
25:23Those three years, I waited for you like an idiot.
25:28I kept telling myself, you know what?
25:30Maybe Harrison has a really good reason for all this.
25:33Maybe one day this will all finally make some sense.
25:37And what do I end up with?
25:39A delusional coward.
25:43Lottie, listen to me.
25:45I have something important to tell you, okay?
25:48Earlier when your father was talking about the new director of the FBI,
25:53that's me.
25:57The director of the FBI.
26:02Harrison, that guy runs the entire bureau.
26:06He's not some washed up soldier who can't even get his life together.
26:10Lottie, I'm telling you the truth.
26:12The president himself appointed me.
26:14Stop.
26:16Okay, enough.
26:18You're beyond.
26:20You disgust me.
26:22They're going to be here any minute.
26:24Who, your underlings?
26:27You could call them that.
26:28They're coming to bring me the invitation to my swearing in.
26:32I can't believe this.
26:34I really thought that you would come around and come to your senses.
26:40I'm such an idiot.
26:43We're done here.
26:48So, Robert, you're in the FBI now.
26:51What can you tell us about this new director of yours?
26:54What's he like?
26:55How can we prepare for the reception?
26:58Uncle Art, I honestly couldn't tell you.
27:00He's a complete mystery.
27:01Nobody knows anything about him.
27:03The only thing I know is that he's retired from the Special Forces.
27:07A very intense and unpredictable man.
27:12Unpredictable, huh?
27:13Damn.
27:14I wanted to get him a nice gift.
27:16Don't worry, Uncle Art.
27:17I'll do some digging and get that intel for you.
27:21I wouldn't worry about getting him a gift.
27:26What do you know about the Bureau?
27:29Just a suggestion.
27:31A suggestion?
27:33Soldier Boy, are you even invited to the...
27:37Yes, I am.
27:40Well, where's your invitation?
27:42I don't know if you're aware, but this is a very exclusive event.
27:46You can't even get past security without an invitation.
27:49Well, I don't have them yet.
27:51But they should be here soon.
27:55They should be delivered pretty soon.
28:02How'd you guys hear that?
28:04Harrison, my guy.
28:06You had one too many concussions while you were on tour?
28:09Yikes.
28:10Oh, that's just unfortunate.
28:12Yeah, come on, Harrison.
28:13You don't know what you're talking about.
28:20Look at this.
28:23You guys are here, Robert.
28:26Robert, it's you.
28:28It's your fault.
28:51It's your fault.
29:00I've been off the grid for three years, fighting for my country.
29:04Now I fight for you.
29:06Everyone who hurt you is on my list.
29:09No one walks away.
29:14We're here, boss.
29:16This is where your sister, I mean Miss Eleanor, was last seen.
29:25The person you are trying to reach is not available.
29:29Please try again later.
29:31Hey.
29:33They tricked me.
29:34I've lost everything.
29:35I'm a billion dollars short of their demands.
29:39Even if I sold the company, I sold myself.
29:43I just couldn't.
29:44I'm so sorry.
29:46Hey.
29:48I couldn't hold on until you got back.
29:51But, she never would have expected me to see that.
29:59His name.
30:01Tell me his name.
30:05It's Carter Bankston.
30:07Her fiancé.
30:13I'm sorry, I should have been here sooner.
30:16Sorry, Harry.
30:17But I swear, I will find everyone involved and make them pay.
30:21I've lost everything.
30:22They will suffer as hard as how they treat me.
30:25I couldn't hold on.
30:29You can go now, Maria.
30:31Go check out all of us.
30:32Oh, I'm a pig.
30:34He is a nobody.
30:35I can handle him myself.
30:36I can make him and all his bullshit disappear and...
30:40There he is.
30:41No, Maria.
30:43This is my cross to bear.
30:44I'm a pig.
30:46I'm a pig.
30:52Sorry.
30:54I'm sorry.
30:56I'm a pig.
31:02You're alive.
31:04Lottie, yeah.
31:06I'm back.
31:10So now you decide to come back?
31:14Where were you for the past three years?
31:17Where were you with your sister?
31:19Eleanor died in my arms.
31:21Eleanor, no!
31:28Lottie, I'm here to get justice for Eleanor.
31:33Justice for her?
31:36Look at your current status.
31:38I guess you can't even get through the front doors of this building.
31:42I was just trying to collect your belongings, and these assholes threw me out.
31:48Alright, you two need to get out of here.
31:50We are getting ready for a big event to welcome ET Technologies' new CEO.
31:54And I do not have time for this bullshit.
31:57So leave now.
32:04Enough with your savior complex.
32:08You weren't there when Eleanor needed you, so don't act like you care about us now!
32:13I'm sorry.
32:14No!
32:14Just don't!
32:16See?
32:18I don't need your excuses.
32:21And you know what?
32:23The Harrison I knew died three years ago.
32:27I think I'll hold on with that version.
32:29At least he is when we hear.
32:53Hold up.
32:57Did he say he's asleep yet?
33:02Oh, yeah.
33:04I remember you.
33:06Lottie, right?
33:09Eleanor's poor, lonely little sister-in-law.
33:11The one who was grieving so hard that anyone would have thought she was your wife.
33:17You're a monster.
33:18I don't know how she ever saw any good in you.
33:21I don't know how she ever loved you.
33:27Love!
33:27Love, please!
33:28It was just business.
33:30She could not play the game.
33:32She was out of her depth.
33:34She couldn't handle it loosely.
33:42And what is this?
33:45Three years of playing widow got you all lonely?
33:48So you picked up some soldier boy off the street?
33:53Dude, what is this?
33:54Get him!
33:55You just fled a war?
33:56Maybe?
33:57No, I got it.
33:59You just clocked up your shift at the construction site.
34:01No, you're auditioning to be Santa Claus at a shopping center nearby, but you bought the
34:06wrong costume and you're all fucked up.
34:09Is it that?
34:12You know, I got a good idea.
34:18Pharrell.
34:25You take that money, and then I want you to walk out of here, because this is my celebration
34:30welcome banquet, and you were really killing a movie.
34:33You're fucking it up.
34:34No, Harrison.
34:35Harrison, don't.
34:38Let's just go.
34:40Listen, we don't stand a chance, okay?
34:43Dude, is that not enough money for you?
34:46It's a hundred dollar bill.
34:47When have you ever seen that before?
34:55You're Carter Baxton.
34:56That's it.
34:57So why didn't you take that money?
34:59And get the fuck out of here!
35:01I'm Harrison Braverman.
35:03Eleanor's brother.
35:06You brought a gift for your banquet today.
35:09Don't you want to get a drink with your brother-in-law?
35:15You're Eleanor's brother.
35:18That's right.
35:19You're a twin brother.
35:21Yeah?
35:21And you're just a soldier.
35:24Newly discharged.
35:29Of course.
35:31We're family, bro.
35:34Almost.
35:35I actually always wanted to say what happened to Eleanor.
35:40It was a terrible accident.
35:43It was a real tragedy.
35:51But today's a celebration, so let's get a drink.
36:00No, don't.
36:01This can be good.
36:04It's okay.
36:06Just a quick hello.
36:20Hello.
36:20Hello, sir.
36:22Congratulations on your promotion to CEO, sir.
36:25You see this, Eleanor?
36:26Your company, your staff, they're all dancing on your grave.
36:30Don't worry.
36:31I'm here now.
36:33Everyone.
36:35I'm going to shut the fuck up.
36:39Okay, everyone.
36:41My dear colleagues.
36:43Let's give a very warm welcome to the brother of our cowardly and suicidal former CEO.
36:52It's Mr. Harrison Braverman.
37:00Oh, pardon me.
37:02Did that hurt your feelings?
37:06I've been told I'm honest to a fault.
37:09But shit, I did mean to hurt your feelings.
37:15I bet this guy's here to extort Mr. Bankston's sister's death with some cash.
37:20Oh, dear.
37:21I've seen this before.
37:23Some people would really do anything for money.
37:28Yeah, that's right.
37:29So true.
37:31Seriously.
37:33Look, Harrison, since I'm in a generous mood, how about I do a little favor for you?
37:40In front of all these people right now in this room, if you say the phrase,
37:44My sister Eleanor deserved to die, if you say that three times, then I will give you $5,000 cash.
37:58That's your best?
38:00I mean, how about it, soldier boy?
38:03Have you ever seen that kind of money before?
38:15Mike, please.
38:19Let's hear it, then.
38:26Are you all done?
38:31If so, then listen up.
38:35Every single person in this room should be apologizing for what they did to Eleanor.
38:45Get a load of this guy.
38:46He thinks he's in a war room.
38:47Did he just say apologize?
38:50Oh, my God.
38:53Man, you're killing me.
38:54I mean, I knew your sister was a loser, but this guy is crazy.
38:58Like, oh.
38:59Lost it.
39:01You all have three days.
39:03In three days' time, every name I put down in this notebook will pay dearly.
39:11Oh, I've heard of this.
39:12Some Japanese anime shit.
39:14Death Note, right?
39:16You think you can scare us by what?
39:19Writing our names in your notebook?
39:21Oh, boy.
39:22Like I said, you have three days.
39:28Hey, hey, hey, hey!
39:30Did I say you could go anywhere?
39:32Did I?
39:34No, I didn't.
39:35What kind of place do you think this is?
39:37That you can just come and go like a little Pac-Man.
39:40Go around and go where the fuck you want.
39:43This is my house.
39:45I incorporated this company.
39:46It cost a lot.
39:47And I pay a fucking annual fee.
39:50You think you impress everyone?
39:51Your theatrics.
39:53Let me tell you something, Brokey.
39:55All the courts and the cops in the world
39:58couldn't pin your sister's little accident on me.
40:03Now I love to see her.
40:06So why don't you get that little diary
40:09and take it back to Target
40:11or wherever the fuck you got it from
40:13before you embarrass yourself?
40:15Okay.
40:16This time, I'll use this.
40:24Oh, my God!
40:29What the f...
40:53Is that a fake grenade?
40:55That fucking psycho!
40:58What the fuck?
41:00You're fucking with me? Where did you get a confetti grenade?
41:03Break this clown's legs and throw him out of here!
41:39What do you want? You're not above the law! If you touch me, I will have you thrown away in
41:43jail forever!
41:44The court found you innocent?
41:48If it were up to me, you'd get the death penalty.
41:56If I wanted your life, I can take it any time.
41:59Three days. Remember that.
42:04Hey, you motherfucker! You got some fucking nerve!
42:10Who the hell is that guy? How did he get his hands on a grenade? Shouldn't we call the cops?
42:14Cops? You think some patrol cop with a handgun can handle some fucking psycho who just brought in a grenade?
42:23No, no, no. If he wants to play, he can learn to play with the big league.
42:28Everyone, I've actually just received word that the new director of the FBI will be taking office tomorrow.
42:34Of course, I will be in attendance of that swearing in ceremony.
42:40This Harrison fuckstick, he thinks he can just, you know, beat, he can just fight some people off and he's
42:49untouchable?
42:50No. No. No, in this country, the only true weapon is power.
42:56So I swear to you, on behalf of ET Technologies, that I will ensure the new director of the FBI
43:01knows about this unrelenting danger to society who is military trained of massive danger to public safety and private property.
43:12The authorities need to know that criminal belongs in prison.
43:18Harrison, what did you do? I heard explosions and screaming. You don't think we have enough to deal with?
43:25It's handled. It was just a minor setback.
43:30Handled? How? With your fists? Is that still your solution to everything, even after three years?
43:37When are you going to start using your head? Real power to solve problems.
43:43We need to talk. Come home. Now.
43:46I need to do something. Why don't you go home first?
43:52Fine. Suit yourself.
43:55It's not like I haven't made it through three years alone.
43:58Guess I could just wait a little bit longer.
44:09Sir, there's something I don't quite understand.
44:12We could arrest and bankrupt Carter by tomorrow morning and do permanent damage to his name.
44:19Why give him three days?
44:21It's unlike you, sir.
44:23Marina, do you know how cats like to hunt for mice?
44:26To kill them, sir?
44:28No.
44:29Cats aren't that hungry.
44:31It's rare that they actually eat the mice.
44:33They catch them, let them go.
44:36Let them run.
44:37Catch them again, release them again.
44:40Until the mouse is exhausted and scared shitless.
44:44I see, sir.
44:45Carter is the mouse.
44:47Or a rat.
44:49Make him use every scent he's got, every connection he has to try to save himself.
44:55And just when he thinks he's done it?
44:56When he believes he'll win, that's when we move in.
45:00Let him watch it all fall apart.
45:02Can't let him off without anything.
45:04And when that moment comes, he'll regret what he did to Eleanor.
45:08But it'll be too fucking late.
45:14Oh, one more thing, sir.
45:17I just came in from D.C.
45:19You've just been named the new director of the FBI.
45:23Congratulations, sir.
45:25Tell them I'm not interested.
45:26Right.
45:27Well, I'm afraid I've already made up their minds.
45:30The message has been signed and sealed.
45:32So you'll be receiving your invitation into the swearing-in shortly.
45:37Fine.
45:39Change of plans.
45:41Take me home.
45:43I need to talk to my wife.
46:03Harrison.
46:05Oh, it's really you.
46:08Oh, you're home.
46:14Yes, ma'am.
46:15I'm home.
46:16And in one piece.
46:17Come in.
46:25Well, well, well.
46:27If it isn't my favorite deadbeat son-in-law, to what do we owe the pleasure?
46:32Come on, Arthur. The boy's just gone home.
46:35Maggie, why don't you go check on our daughter?
46:38Harrison and I need to talk man-to-man.
46:49I need to talk to my wife.
46:50So!
46:52Lottie came back crying today. What was that all about?
46:56Just a misunderstanding, that's all.
46:58Oh, a misunderstanding.
47:00Everything's just a misunderstanding with you, isn't it?
47:03And what about your sister Eleanor's company? Are they through with you, too?
47:09Yes.
47:11How about that?
47:15Lottie, stay here.
47:19Harrison's right, Dad. It was just a...
47:22Misunderstanding.
47:23I guess sometimes it is what it is.
47:25No need for excuses.
47:28Did you hear what Lottie just said?
47:30You disappeared for three years, and now you show up with nothing.
47:34Not so much as one word of explanation.
47:37What makes you think you still deserve Lottie?
47:41Come on, Dad. It...
47:43It doesn't even matter anymore.
47:44I'm gonna get the company back.
47:46As for the current job situation, I do have an interesting offer.
47:50Oh, really? What's that?
47:53You gonna be a checker at Walmart?
47:55You gonna work down at the warehouse?
47:57You gonna be an Amazon guy?
47:59Huh?
47:59Look at her. Look at my daughter.
48:03Do you know that men would kill to have a wife that beautiful?
48:06More beautiful than the models on TV.
48:08But you, you, what is wrong with you?
48:11You disappeared for three years and left her here,
48:14wasting the best years of her life.
48:16Is that enough?
48:17No. I gave you my blessing because I saw how your sister ran the family company.
48:22I thought, now there is a family I could respect, I could trust.
48:26Good match for our Lottie.
48:27Then Eleanor killed herself, and you got the bright idea to run off and join the army.
48:32And now you show up three years later with nothing!
48:35Nothing!
48:38You can't even avenge your dead sister.
48:41So I want you to ask yourself, do you really feel like you deserve Lottie?
48:45Arthur, enough!
48:47No. Welcome back to the real world, Harrison.
48:50I don't make the rules.
48:53I want Lottie to divorce you immediately.
48:55Ted, stop!
49:00Fine.
49:01For Lottie, I will give you one chance.
49:05You have six months, and that's all you get.
49:08If you can land yourself a respectable position somewhere,
49:12make yourself a million dollars on your own,
49:14you can still show your face in my house.
49:17Otherwise, Lottie's gonna divorce you.
49:20Understood?
49:23Now, Lottie, since you're here, why don't you join us for a dinner we're hosting?
49:26It's a family affair.
49:28Why tonight?
49:30Well, we've just been informed that there's a new director of the FBI,
49:33and the guys are coming over to discuss the swearing-in ceremony.
49:37We think there might be an opportunity to meet some of the major players.
49:44Leave the stakes alone.
49:51You know, what my dad said was a lot, but...
49:55I mean, he's not wrong about us.
49:58Besides, it's not like there's still much of an us anymore anyway.
50:05Look, the truth is, I did get assigned a job when I was discharged.
50:10A job assignment?
50:12Harrison, not this again, please.
50:14Can we just...
50:16In six months, can you just find something respectable?
50:19A measly million?
50:22Besides, you don't even own a decent suit.
50:24No, you don't understand.
50:26The job, it's better than you think.
50:29Trust me.
50:30Trust you?
50:31Harrison, look at yourself.
50:33You don't even own anything besides the clothes on your own back.
50:36I mean, what would you be able to provide?
50:40Harrison, I need someone who can handle real life.
50:43Someone who has his feet on the ground.
50:46Talk is cheap, you know?
50:50Steaks are done.
51:04So he says ribbiting.
51:05Ribbiting.
51:11So, Arthur, who is this? New help?
51:17No, Uncle Doug. That's Harrison.
51:20Harrison.
51:22Lottie's husband?
51:24I've heard about you.
51:27Prodigal son.
51:29Returns.
51:30Oof.
51:31Military life must be exhausting.
51:34But I guess you're not worried, right?
51:36Thanks to E.T. Technologies.
51:42Sweetheart, let's...
51:44Don't talk like that.
51:45We know that E.T. Technology belongs to Mr. Bankston.
51:49We don't want to embarrass our boy Harrison here.
51:52Now do we?
51:53Oh dear.
51:54How could I forget?
51:58It's okay, Harrison.
51:59Even though you fucked up and lost your company,
52:04Uncle Doug's got your back.
52:06Yeah.
52:06Whew.
52:09You're not gonna starve.
52:10You could work for me.
52:13He's a...
52:15janitor.
52:19How's that sound?
52:20That's a...
52:21That's a easy job.
52:22You can handle that.
52:24All right, Dougie.
52:26Let's just, uh...
52:27Let's just lay off, huh?
52:28He's family.
52:29Let's not cross the line.
52:31Catch the line.
52:35Oh, that must be Robert.
52:44You know, our son was in the Army, too.
52:48And the FBI recruited him as soon as he was discharged.
52:53That's right.
52:55You see, it's possible to have a successful career after the Army after all.
53:00Sorry, everyone.
53:01I had to work late at the Bureau.
53:03You know how it is.
53:04Come sit next to Mommy.
53:07Harrison.
53:09Would you mind?
53:16Yeah, Harrison, why don't you go grab that chair, all right?
53:20Let Robert sit down and rest his legs.
53:23Let's go.
53:29Atta boy.
53:38How long are you gonna sit there and just take it?
53:41Don't you have any dignity?
53:43Lottie, it's not worth it.
53:44Not worth it?
53:46My family and I aren't worth standing up for?
53:50Harrison, if you were really someone important,
53:52do you really think my family and I would be the laughing stock because of you?
53:57You know,
53:58it would have been a lot better if you had never come back.
54:03I made my peace with it three years ago.
54:08Losing you?
54:09That, that was easier than having some coward for a husband.
54:15Those three years, I waited for you like an idiot.
54:20I kept telling myself, you know what?
54:23Maybe Harrison has a really good reason for all of this.
54:26Maybe one day this will all finally make some sense.
54:30And what do I end up with?
54:32A delusional coward.
54:36Lottie, listen to me.
54:37I have something important to tell you, okay?
54:41Earlier when your father was talking about the new director of the FBI.
54:46That's me.
54:50The director of the FBI.
54:55Harrison, that guy runs the entire bureau.
54:58He's not some washed up soldier who can't even get his life together.
55:03Lottie, I'm telling you the truth.
55:05The president himself appointed me.
55:07Stop.
55:09Okay, enough.
55:11You're beyond.
55:13You disgust me.
55:15They're gonna be here any minute.
55:17Who, your underlings?
55:20You could call them that.
55:21They're coming to bring me the invitation to my swearing in.
55:25I can't believe this.
55:27I really thought that you would come around and come to your senses.
55:32I'm such an idiot.
55:36We're done here.
55:40So, Robert, you're in the FBI now.
55:44What can you tell us about this new director of yours?
55:47What's he like?
55:48How can we prepare for the reception?
55:51Uncle Art, I honestly couldn't tell ya.
55:53He's a complete mystery.
55:54Nobody knows anything about him.
55:56The only thing I know is that he's retired from the Special Forces.
56:00A very intense and unpredictable man.
56:04Unpredictable, huh?
56:06Damn.
56:07I wanted to get him a nice gift.
56:09Don't worry, Uncle Art.
56:10I'll do some digging and get that intel for ya.
56:14I wouldn't worry about getting him a gift.
56:19What do you know about the Bureau?
56:21Just a suggestion.
56:23A suggestion?
56:26Soldier Boy, are you even invited to the...
56:30Yes, I am.
56:33Well...
56:34Where's your invitation?
56:35I don't know if you're aware, but this is a very exclusive event.
56:38You can't even get past security without an invitation.
56:42Well, I don't have them yet.
56:44But they should be here soon.
56:48They should be delivered...
56:50Pretty soon.
56:54How'd you guys hear that?
56:57Harrison, my guy.
56:59You had one too many concussions while you were on tour?
57:02Yikes.
57:02Oh, that's just unfortunate.
57:04Yeah, come on, Harrison.
57:06You don't know what you're talking about.
57:13Look at this.
57:16You guys are here, Robert.
57:17You're working.
57:17I wonder if that's too much.
57:34I wonder if that's too much.
