" I beg your pardon, missy, but you are not." " Daddy." "." "Okay" "You wanna wheel and deal, missy?" "You take Hal." " Got you, boss." "I'll take real good care of her." " No, I am not taking Hal." "Do we have a deal?" " Mr. Rose's cut is 10 cents on the dollar." "Do I make myself clear?" " Yeah, that's understood." " Alright then, pleasure doing business with you." " Okay, deal, no Hal." " Cheers." " Cheers." "(glasses clink)" " [Jack] I was happy." "It seemed like, just for once," "God smiled down on me." " You know how much I love you?" "I love you so much." " I love you forever." "(sweet orchestral music)" " Yeah." " I got a job, I need a driver." " Yeah, I can drive." "How much?" " [Hal] The usual amount." " What time do y'all need me there?" " Couple days." "Keep your phone on." "I'll be in touch." "It's done." " Sometimes you gotta keep the training wheels on, even though they wanna roll alone." " [Jack] We cased the place." "We had blueprints, guard schedules, and Charlie even had a duplicate of the security system made for me to practice." "We had all the bases covered." " [Olivia] Okay." " [Paul] We look like we're dressed for a funeral." " I see you brought your boyfriends, did you bring the codes?" " That's why we're here, Jack." " Then let's get to work." " Hey, keep an eye on the scanners, alright?" "Make sure all the edges are sealed." "(suspenseful music)" "This is Beeker's private floor." "There's no cameras here." "There you go." "Beeker put the security cameras in the vault on loop." "Nice." "We got an hour, then Beeker will be here to get his cut." " Codes." " [Paul] Here." " If even one of those numbers is wrong, half the police department'll show up outside." " Listen, little lady." "I got it from Beeker himself." "Wrote the numbers down exactly the way he told me." " Pressure changes things." "Makes a man write a six instead of a nine." " Not Beeker, the man's ice." " I was talking about you." " You two about done bickering?" " Your husband's a prick." "You could do so much better." "(machine beeping) Yo, what's it doing?" " It's synchronized the alarms, it's deciphering codes in stages." "Each stage has a different color." "(mixed chatter on police scanner)" "(machine beeping)" " [Paul] What the hell are we waiting for?" "(beePs)" " That." "(chuckles)" " [Paul] Beeker's in the van." "We'll split the bonds up there." " [Jack] You know, something's been bothering me." "Now why would Beeker show up here in person and put himself at risk?" "(dramatic instrumental music)" "(gun shots)" " Fuck." "(Olivia screams)" " [Jack] Olivia, stay down." "(Olivia screams)" "(gun shots)" "(grunts)" "(yells)" "(thuds against van)" "(gun shots)" " [Driver] Olivia, we gotta get the fuck out now." " [Olivia] I'm not leaving Jack." " [Jack] Don't worry about me, go with him." "Get out of here." "(gun shots)" " Unlock this door." " Look, I can't help Jack, I can only help you." "(Olivia screams)" " You are not leaving Jack. (screams)" " I'm getting paid, motherfucker." "(gun shots)" "flaughs)" " Jack, oh Jack, you out there, son?" "Listen I got a confession to make, pal." "Your wife whispered in my ear that she wants to suck my dick." "You like that?" "I'll make you a deal." "You give me what's mine and I'll let you go." "It wasn't supposed to be like this, Jack." " Oh yeah?" "How was it supposed to be?" "You kill us and take the bonds?" " You got it." "(gun shots)" "Hey, get the fuck out there." "(gun shot) flaughs)" "Nice shot, Jack." "Too bad it wasn't me." "Listen, fuck Beeker." "Why should he get the money?" "Me and you, we split the money, 50/50." "How's that sound?" " Sounds like bullshit." "(gun shots)" " Hey Jack." "After I kill you, I'm gonna fuck that little whore of yours." "You keep what's mine." "(gun shot)" "(9 roans)" "(coughing)" "Oh shit." "(police sirens)" "You hear that?" "We're both gonna go to fucking prison." "(coughing)" "You wouldn't, uh, you wouldn't shoot a man in the back, would you?" "(gun shot)" " Yes, I would." "(police sirens) (tires squealing)" " [Police Officer] Gun, he's got a gun." "Geez, we got a situation here." "Call for backup." "(somber orchestral music)" "(security door buzzes)" " Margaret, don't bring it up again." "Just tell the guys there's a ladder in the garage, or we'll rent theirs, 'cause they'll charge you rent." "And have them climb up on the roof and don't tell 'em we don't have insurance." "No, I'm not gonna discuss it with you now," "I'll do it when I get home." " [Lawyer] Warden." " How're you, sir?" " I'm fine." " Thank you for your service to your client." "But you are done here, sir." " [Lawyer] Thank you." " I love the word barrister, I always have." "And you have the best job in America, when you become a judge." "Because every day you get to go to work with a chance to be fair." " Thanks again, Warden." " Good day, sir." "See, it's part of my job." "And your job is trying to be Spiderman and climb up to second stories and do bad things." "And you got caught." "Would you rather have the water warmer or colder?" "Strip." "Full frontal." "Very good, you'll do." "You don't need to cover it, bud, we couldn't be shocked by anything you'd have." "(security door buzzes)" "Hello son." " Sir." " How're you today, sir?" " Good, sir." " [Warden] Good." "How about you?" " [Prisoner] About ready to get out of here." " Very good, sir." "(clangs against bars)" "HEY" "(knocks on bars)" "Well, that didn't work." "Maybe you're just rude." "You don't have manners." "When one of your betters is outside and front of the bars, you stand up, turn around, and look him in the goddamned eye." "That's more like it." "You know what I need from you?" "Your attention." "And I'm gonna demand it every time I look in your fucking eyes." "How're you enjoying our fine facility?" "I hope it's up to your standards." "Is it to your liking?" "Or have you seen better?" "Or would you rather be in a hole underground?" "Can you hear me?" "!" "Because it's important you hear me." "Every time I've ever looked in your face, even back in my office," "you never took your eyes off me." "I'm not that fucking attractive, bud." "You always give me that gold stare, it don't mean shit to me, you're not gonna scare me down." "You understand that, don't you?" "I don't care how bad you think you are." "You're not as bad as the executioner." " Hey, fish." "(thuds)" "(grunting)" "Got my jollies?" "Do you know what's happening here?" "You know what's happening?" " Fuck off." " Party, motherfucker." "A big party." "Get over here." " I'm gonna skullfuck you, pretty boy." "(muffled screams)" "(grunting)" "(emotional orchestral music)" "(sobbing)" "(screams)" " [Guard] A little present from the Warden." " Hell yeah, that's what's up." " [Prisoner] What the fuck are you?" "(yelling and thudding)" "(alarm beeping)" " Remember me, motherfucker?" "(shiv slices)" "(chaotic yelling)" "(dramatic orchestral music)" " You've been up to a lot of bad shit, son." "(crunching)" "Why do I stay?" "You know what I stay, 'cause I like bad guys." "Because they don't wanna be bad guys." "And a lot of 'em think we're the bad guys, and I'm a bad guy." "And I like criminals, professionals at what they do." "I particularly like the second story man, 'cause he's gotta be athletic, he's gotta be agile." "He's gotta think." "You put all that ingenuity together, and you wonder, why can't we all just get along?" " What's your proposition, Warden?" " You know the difference between a criminal, and a law man?" "One," "lives rent free, three meals a day, a bed." "The other one," "can't even pay his rent." "And our uncle, who lives back there on the east coast, doesn't pay people like me shit." "Now I'm thinking of retiring soon." "And I got three daughters." "So you do the math." " You know what the real difference is between crooks and law men is, Warden?" " [Warden] Try me." " What side of the bars they're on." " That's clever." "With a mind like that, you should be nowhere near an institution like this." "You wanna stay here the rest of your life?" "Or you wanna be out there?" "You want your girl running around, outside the walls of this prison, looking like she does?" "Without supervision?" "I don't think so." "Now, in your own mind, are you better in or out?" "Because that's what we're talking about." "So let's make a deal, and you can take a hike, and I can quit being a fucking warden." "If you're gonna make a deal with me, you're gonna shake my hand." "Deal." "(emotional instrumental music)" " [Jack] The Warden's proposition was simple." "Some snitch had let it slip that a drug deal was going down by the border." "Having me get the cash kept his hands clean." "And in return, I got a get outta jail free card with a new identity, and a second chance at life." "And lucky for me, there was a good hearted woman waiting." " You okay?" "You don't have to do this." "We can go away, start again." " We'll just have to do it someplace else." " Warden." " Yeah." " Yeah, we're here, we're packing in." " [Warden] Just stay with him until the deal's done." "You understand that, right?" " Got it." "You better be the shot you say you are, boy." "I can't see a goddamn thing." "(dramatic instrumental music)" " Get ready with the bullhorn." "(Qlln shot) (grunts)" "(gun shot)" " No one else needs to get hurt." "You just do exactly what I say." "Drop your guns, throw your keys, and keep walking." "Walk away and don't look back." " You only killed two, goddamn it." " There's no need to kill the rest." " I'll say what is needed, convict." " Drugs weren't part of the deal." " Your deal, not ours." "(thunder cracking)" "(phone rings)" " Yeah." " Warden." "They checked into the motel you got 'em." " That's good." "You know what the story is." " [Prison Guard] Yeah." " You know what you have to do." "Got it?" " Copy that." " Warden's man took the drugs, but I held onto the money." "He'd meet me at the hotel in the morning, and I'd exchange his money for my new life." "In the morning we'll just give this money to Morton." "And we're done." " I don't know." "This whole thing feels off." "Promise me, this is the last one." "I can't lose you." " On one condition." "Will you spend the rest of your life with me?" " Yes." "(smooches)" " Try it on." "(giggles)" "It fits." "What do you think?" " It's beautiful." "(sweet instrumental music)" " Tell me how it looks in the light." " It sparkles." " It sparkles like your eyes." " I love it." " I hope so." "(giggles)" " You spoiled me." " When all this is done, we'll have enough money." "We'll start over again." "We're gonna have a house, maybe two baby boys." "I'll even retire, you know, be a postman like a regular old job or something." "Just to be able to wake up every morning next to you." "What do you think about that, babe?" " I love you so much." " I'm glad you do." " [Olivia] Thank you, baby." "(suspenseful orchestral music)" " Baby, get down." "(gun shot) (glass shatters)" "(gun shots)" " [Guard] Go on, get him." "(gun shots)" "(thuds on floor)" "(gun shots)" "(sad orchestral music)" "." "Baby" "It's okay." "No no, babe, no you're okay, you're okay." "You're okay, hey, you're gonna be okay." "Olivia." "Please stay awake." "Just a little longer, we're gonna get that house I promised you." "Okay." "We got a lot left to do." " I love you, Jack." "(whimpering)" " Olivia." "I'm sorry." "(sad orchestral music)" "Olivia." "Please. (cries)" "(clock ticking)" "Tick." "Tick took." "Tick took." "Tick took." "Tick took." "Tick took." "Tick took." "Tick." "Took." "(clock ticking)" "Tick." "Took." "And so it goes." " This was good." "This was a lot of progress." "And, tomorrow we'll get to the underlying" " Tomorrow I have a date with a real doctor." "You know what the worst part is?" "Nobody's gonna be there to see me off." "Anyway" "It was nice talking with you, Amanda." " You too, Jack." "(sad orchestral music)" "(yells)" "(yells)" "(suspenseful orchestral music)" "(yells) (knife slices)" "(dramatic orchestral music)" "(police sirens)" "(sad orchestral music)" " I am telling you, he's one nasty son of a bitch." "He hires young, he pays more than all his competitors, and when he gets his hooks in 'em, he doesn't let go." " Check all his analysts." "Even his guys down there in the trenches, they're bound to make a mistake." "And when they do, we will be ready." "We will be ready." "Good work, Mr. Cartwright." " Thank you." " Good work." "(clears throat)" "Jill, give us a minute." " Yeah sure, no problem." " Thank you." " Dr. Tyler." " There you go." " What do you got for me?" "You can't be serious." " I'm serious." " Texas versus Johnson." "Okay." "You claim you wanna save lives, Doctor." "You preach fighting the good fight." "You wave your flag of justice around your lecture hall like some avenging angel." "But this?" "This is not a case study." "This is not about theorizing, glorifying, or grandstanding." "Dr. Tyler, this is about paying a debt." "It's not just a debt to the families of the victims, but to society, righting a terrible wrong, and preventing future wrongs." "Protecting the innocent." "And you, of all people, should understand that since your husband was murdered." "Am I correct?" " Yeah, you're correct." "My husband was murdered." "So let me ask you a question." " Shoot." " What if this time, perpetuating the cycle and continuing down the wrong path, and protecting a broken system, isn't what's best for society?" " System's far from broken, Doctor." "We're traveling down a path humanity's been navigating since the dawn of society." "Law and order." "Crime and punishment." "Tit for tat." "Without this system in place, we will surely be living in a constant state of hypersensitivity." "Wouldn't you say?" " No, we've moved beyond that." "We are past reacting off of just our primal instinct." " (laughs) We've moved beyond." "Okay, Doc." "Okay." "Look who you're talking to here." "You're gonna sit here and tell me this." "Even though an educated black man in a three piece suit right here in the good state of Texas can't run down the street without possibly being mistaken for a criminal and shot down like a dog?" "That we have evolved." "I'd have to argue against that, Doctor." "(sighs)" "It's a delicate balance." "Punish too harshly, you have a revolt." "Don't punish enough, you have anarchy." "See, the very fear of violence keeps violence at bay." "By not responding to violence with violence, we take away that fear," "and we take away the very thing that keeps our system intact." "So no, Doctor, our system is not broken, we are not headed down the wrong path." "I'm doing my job for society." "Whether you are or not is yet to be seen." " What about compassion and empathy?" "And mercy?" " Mercy." "We're all just pieces on the board, Doctor." "We're just pieces on the board." " Yeah, well, at the end of the game, the king and the pawns go in the same damn box." "You don't wanna help me?" "I'll take it to the Governor myself." "(hand thuds on table)" " Time to go." "(slow ambient music)" "(security door buzzes)" " [Priest] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death," "I will fear no evil, for thou art with me." "Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me, surely the goodness of mercy shall follow me all the days of my life." "And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." " [Prison Guard] Any last words, Shea?" "(slow emotional music)" " [Jack] The worst part is, nobody's gonna be there to see me off." "(emotional orchestral music)" "(angelic orchestral music)" " I love you." "I'll see you soon." "(emotional orchestral music)" " Violence." "What is the cause?" "To truly understand the nature of violence, we need to look beyond the individual." "We need to look at the culture of violence that permeates our society." "And we also need to look at the way that we punish those that commit acts of violence." "Because when we answer violence with violence and trade death for death, all we're doing is perpetuating a vicious cycle." " But what if someone you love was murdered?" "Would you feel that answering violence with violence is appropriate?" "(emotional orchestral music)" " I believe I would feel that in the moment." "But I wouldn't want their deaths avenged by a cruel and capricious system." "(sad piano music)" "(somber orchestral music)" "(inspiring orchestral music)"
