All language subtitles for The.Underneath.1995.720p.BluRay.x264-x0r

Are you getting off at Austin?
Huh? Yeah.

Going home?
Sort of.

Visiting?
Yeah.

Relatives.
Yeah.

What kind?
Mother and brother.

Mother's getting married.

Is he nice?
My brother?

No. The man your mother's gonna marry.

Haven't met him.

I'm Susan.
Michael.

So you live here?
Yeah.

Where do you work? I'm training to
be a teller at the Grand Texas Bank.

So when do you take your test?

I don't know.
It's a self-study,

so you can take it
whenever you're ready.

Just don't think
that I'm ready yet.

Well, there's one way
to find out.

Mom?

Michael?

Michael!

Give me a hug!
Oh, I stink. I've been on a bus.

I don't care.

Nice butt.

You bastard.

How's it goin'?
Good, good, good.

Shouldn't you be out clubbing motorists
or something?

No, I'm on the night shift.
Plus, I'm beating the homeless now.

Oh, I see.
They're not as mobile.

So...
how's it goin'?

It's goin'.

You workin'?

You hirin'?
Yeah.

That's what the force needs:
another confused white boy.

Hear she's dating a small-time hood that
bought the Ember, if you're interested.

I'm here for the wedding. Tell me
about Ed. Did you run a check on him?

No, I did not.
Bullshit, I know you did.

All right, a small one.
But he's clean.

No moving violations, no nothin'?
Not in Texas.

Hurray for Mom.

I don't know.
I, uh-

I can't decide right now.
You go first.

I don't play the lottery.
It's a waste of money.

Well, if I won, it's always been
a dream of mine to breed dogs.

No. No.
No? Okay.

How 'bout a stamp collection then?
Okay, that I'll go for.

All right.

How 'bout you, Michael?
I wouldn't believe it.

If it were true,
I'd smile.

I'd just sit there quietly
for five minutes, smile and be rich.

I don't know.
Come on, Mom, what?

You know I can't make decisions,
but, um-

I know one thing I want,
I want the biggest TV they make.

Two of 'em,
with everything on it.

Extra cheese?
Yeah.

So how long you
gonna stay, Michael?

Maybe a little while.
See some friends.

We got an opening,
if you're looking for somethin'.

Thanks.
It's a kind offer.

I thought you needed law enforcement
or military service for a job like that.

Helpful,
but not mandatory.

If I put in a good word,
they'd probably take him, no problem.

Beat goin' back to Sports Town.
I doubt that would be an option.

This is the official
lotto Texas drawing for August 13, 1994.

In the next 60 seconds, you can become
Texas' newest millionaire!

Are you registered somewhere?
Michael,

when you're getting married
at 56, you don't register.

Can you get me some quick picks
while you're out?

Sure. How many?
Oh, five or so.

Don't wait up.

Good luck.

I'll ride around your city
I'll ride around your town

Don't tell me where you're headed 'cause
anywhere you're headed, buddy, I'm bound

Don't talk about your passion
Don't talk about your pain

Don't talk about my station 'Cause
it doesn't really help the situation

Mind if I sit?

How is it you can show your face
without getting hurt?

I squared with everyone.

Everyone?
Okay.

So how are you?

Tommy, this is
Michael Chambers.

Michael,
Tommy Dundee.

Heard you moved.
Mother's getting married.

To who?
A good guy.

Never heard of him.

Well.

Let Tommy buy you a drink.
You'll buy him a drink, won't you?

I'll buy him a drink.
Some other time.

Good to see you.

Nice to meet you.
Uh, yeah.

What the hell was that?
What?

What's he doing here?
I don't know. He just showed up.

Yeah, nobody's ex just shows up.
He wants something.

Don't have an aneurysm.
Let's go in the back.

I'm tired of watching guys
sit up and b-b-beg you.

It's like goddamn
Sea World in here.

� 'Cause I found an angel
with a broken wing �

Hey, did you get my Twinkie?
Huh?

My Twinkie. Did you get it?
I'm sorry, you wanted a Twinkie?

I'm kidding, Michael.
Oh, okay.

Close it up.
All right.

I hope I didn't wake you when I came in.

Did you get my quick picks?

Oh, jeez, I totally forgot.
I'm sorry.

I- I'll get some,
I'll get some today.

Rachel called.

She leave a number?

By the phone.

We're on the back nine,
a short par four. I hit a big tee shot.

Lands in the wrong fairway.

This guy hits a beautiful drive,
cuts past the dogleg,

drops about 20 yards
from the pin.

Do you wanna hear this?

Please.
Okay.

Uh, where was I?
The pin.

Right, right.
So I'm down 200 for the game.

This jerk is really ridin' me, talking about
my hair gettin' in my eyes and crap like that.

So I bet him two grand
I could win the hole.

He says, why not three? I say,
why not five? Then he hesitates.

He says, okay, five.
Then I knew he was...

a eunuch.

So, I'm 230 yards out,
I hit the best three...

wood of my life.

I'm on the green,
putting for a bird.

He sculls his approach shot,
the ball sails over the green.

He's double bogey for the hole.
Gosh, that's exciting.

If you keep this up-
Keep what up?

Chambers!

Yeah? How'd you know Dallas
was gonna beat the spread?

You know, I can't begin
to describe to you how.

I just knew. Some people are interested
in trying to garnish your wages.

I suggest you take care of 'em.
Okay, thanks.

Take my advice.
Don't spend that money.

Get yourself squared.
Thanks.

Feels almost as good
as you.

God, I love betting.

I was surprised
to get your call.

I was surprised
to see you at the club.

Just getting my weekly dose
of secondhand smoke.

Right.

So how's the acting gig?
I gave it up.

Really?
Isn't that what you wanted?

I never interfered.

Oh. So beneath
the apathetic exterior,

there was actually
a raging indifference.

I get it.

So tell me about Tommy Dundee.
Tommy?

We go out.
How long?

A few months.

He treat you okay?

Not as well as guys
without money.

He's gonna teach me
how to manage the club.

He looks like he might be into
a few things besides managing a club.

Yeah.

For instance?
I don't know.

You don't know 'cause you don't know,
or 'cause you don't want to know?

I don't know
'cause I don't ask.

I wrote you a long letter
after you left about everything.

Took me a week.
I never got it.

I burned it.
Ooh, I walked right into that one.

Must be a new sensation for you,
walking into something.

Is this yours?
Yup.

Nice.
Men buy me Mustangs. I don't know why.

Can I see you again? I don't
think that's a good idea.

Rachel.
You humiliated me.

I didn't get a warning,
an explanation,

and I had to deal with all
the ugly shit you left behind.

It wasn't right.
I know that.

Don't call me.
Don't try and find me.

It makes it hard with Tommy.

She goes where?
To the library.

She's been taking this
correspondence course. She's studying.

Until 11:00 every night.
It closes at 11:00. I checked.

Gee, you're a one-man
Warren Commission.

Take my advice.
Follow her.

I couldn't do that.
You'll thank me.

Hey, Ed.
How's it going, boys?

You know, same shit,
different day.

I wanted you to meet Michael Chambers,
Annie's boy. He's putting in an application.

Tom. Casey. Nice to meet you.

Comin' to work here?
Yeah. You'll love it.

If you like saltpeter.

Someone under 40, you
tryin' to scare him off?

Just doin' our part.
Look at us. We're only 22 years old.

See you guys later.
Nice to meet you.

The library?

That's right.

Ed, Ed!

Can you take my spot
on number five run?

Deborah's having some
strange contractions...

and I'm gonna meet her at the
doctor's office. Okay. Go ahead.

I'll take it.
Oh, thanks.

You better start workin' so
I can retire. I'll do my best.

Let me tell you
about Hinkle.

When you first go in,

he'll offer you a candy mint.
Don't take it.

At the end of the meeting,
he'll offer it to you again.

Take it and eat it right in front
of him. You'll get the job.

You're kidding, right?

Do I look like
I'm kidding?

First time, no; second time, yes?
That's it.

Okay. Thanks.

Mint?

No, thank you.

Fine.

Ed Dutton speaks highly of you.
He's a very good man, Ed.

I hope so. He'll be my stepfather
in a few days.

Yes.

That's a copy of
Armored Transport Now!

It's a magazine we publish, not just for
ourselves, but for the entire industry.

And here I thought cash
was on the way out.

Many of the services we provide here
used to be provided by the banks.

For example,

a bank might have us pick up
all the cash from a fast-food chain,

process and verify it here and then
deposit it directly into the Fed,

bypassing their branch
altogether.

That sort of thing.
Oh, I see. May I keep this?

Where have you been working
the past couple of years?

Offshore.
That's serious work.

Serious money.

You have any experience with firearms?
No.

He'll learn.

We don't need marksmen,
just people who can think clearly.

That I can do.

Good. Well.

Are you sure you
wouldn't like a mint?

Actually, now that you
mention it, I would.

We'll be in touch. Sometime this week,
we'll have you come in for the polygraph.

A polygraph? Great.
I'll look forward to it.

Where are my fries?
You didn't ask for fries.

- Well, you got fries.
- Michael, you want fries, you gotta ask.

Yes, Officer.

How's Rachel?
She's fine, doing the audition thing.

Tell her I said hello.
I will.

Listen, I talked
to Mom last night.

She told me you hadn't
sent her any money in two months.

We had an arrangement.
She needs the money.

I got the money. I can give it to her
today, with interest.

- I can give her three months in advance.
- She doesn't care about interest.

She doesn't care about "in advance. " She
wants to know if you can be counted on.

It's really boring having
this conversation every six months.

I agree.
Jesus! This is our mother.

She needs our help.

And seeing you avoid
being around after Dad died-

Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey.

You didn't even go see her
- Can we not turn this into a Eugene O'Neill play?

I've got the money.
This time.

Thanks for the protection, Officer.

You never should've left
the Village People, David.

Fuck you.

Hello?
Michael.

Hi.

Are you there?
I'm here.

How are you?
Good.

What about you?
Good.

Are you on a car phone?
Yeah.

Courtesy of-

So,

are you staying?

I think so.
I might get that job.

Really?

Um, I gotta go.

W- W-Wait-
I'll talk to you soon.

There's one question
this test never gets around to asking.

It's a question
I need an answer to.

What's that?

When can you start?

That's it?
That's it.

Welcome aboard.
Eleven.

Forty-one.

Twenty-three.

Here we go.

What do you think?
Hmm?

Oh, I'm sorry.
Do another one.

Twelve.
Not so smiley.

Nine.
Much better.

Why go up for this?
It's not acting.

It's exposure.
Like Vanna White, you know.

Oh. Well, that's
something to aspire to.

I hope you like egg salad,
'cause I'm making a ton.

Great.
We'll have it for dinner.

I thought we were going
to San Miguel.

Let's go to San Miguel after the game
on Saturday. I gotta make some calls.

I'm not staying in.
I told Diane we'd meet her at the Ember.

That's fine.
I'll be here.

You never do what
you say you're gonna do.

Florida at LSU. This is the
fork in the road for both teams.

Some are calling it a toss-up,
but given the home field advantage...

and nine apparently
healthy seniors-

Remember me?
Rachel, right?

Dick.

I'm sorry.
Hi, Dick.

God, the picture
on this TV sucks.

It sucks,
and it's small.

Smallish and sucky... convert that
threat into scoring opportunities.

Everybody in yet?
No, there's one still out.

Hey, come on in!

Mom, you look beautiful.
Thank you.

You really do.
Thank you.

That's a nice suit.
It's Dad's.

I- I wanted to give you
this beforehand.

Oh, David,
they're beautiful!

I'll have to get
my ears pierced.

I don't have anything.

That's all right.

I'm just glad you're here.
I don't need presents.

Would you repeat after me:
With this ring, I thee wed.

With this ring,
I thee wed.

And pledge to thee
my faith and love.

And pledge to thee
my faith and love.

I can't believe you wore
Dad's suit to Mom's wedding.

I now pronounce you
husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

Well, it depends.

Some say he's doubtful;
some say he's probable.

What's the difference
between doubtful and probable?

Doubtful means
he probably won't play;

probable means he'll play, but there's
some doubt. Oh, that clears everything up.

So is he doubtful or probable?
Doubtful.

Michael, did you get a call-
How close is your source?

You wanna know how close my
source is, he's a she. Wow.

This is inside inside.
Wow.

Michael!
I gotta go. Talk to you.

Isn't that amazing? It's a 12-foot
Paraclipse with terrestrial filters.

I don't care if it turns coffee beans into diamonds
- How did you know?

What's it doing in our back yard?
Wait till you see the image quality.

It's like looking out a window.
We have plenty of windows.

We have one more. It's the new TV.

Excuse me.
Is that thing safe?

Yes, ma'am.
It's, uh, it's safe.

Just don't stand
in front of it.

Come on in.
Where do you want it?

Try right in front of the fireplace.
God, it's big. It's huge.

Did you order a stand?
It comes with a stand, doesn't it?

It doesn't come with a stand.
I gotta have a stand.

There's one in the truck. Costs extra.
Fine, fine.

Don't answer that.

The one-fifteen.
Great! It's huge!

Michael.
Yeah.

Tell me you didn't use
the rest of the money to buy this stuff.

Okay, I didn't use the rest of it.
Thank God.

I used some of the rest of it.
Michael!

What else was I gonna use?
We've lost our credit cards.

You lost our credit cards.
Fine, I lost 'em.

It doesn't change the fact
that I had to use cash.

How much cash? I got an
incredible deal for not charging.

How much? For everything.
For the dish, the installation,

For everything! Michael!
the subscription fees-About seven.

Hundred?

You're so good.
That's good.

Seven... thousand.
Yeah.

How are you gonna pay the people
you owe? They call constantly.

Listen.

I got this whole thing
worked out.

It's not even a system.
It's more like, I just know.

I just know which way to bet.
It's like being connected.

It-It's like knowing something
that no one else knows.

God, I wish I could describe the
feeling to you. You don't have to.

Hey, how did it go?
What?

The audition.

Did Jane Duncan call
after I left?

Jane Duncan? No.

When you were on the phone and I was getting
ready, did anybody try and click through?

I don't know. They were
trying to call me not to come.

Because they decided to go with a
lottery official instead of an actress.

I sat there for an hour looking
like an idiot before somebody told me.

I'm sorry.
That must have been awful.

There's the stand. Did you at least
remember to get my plane ticket?

Yes and no.

What the hell does that mean?
I did remember, but I didn't get it.

Michael, this audition has been planned
for months! I got you something else.

Julie's expecting me! I got you
something else. I got you something else.

What? What did you do?
I'll give you a hint.

We don't have enough
to fly to L.A.,

but you could
drive there in style.

What?
That's mine?

Michael-
You hate it, I'll take it back.

Wait.
Uh, if you like it, we'll keep it.

You make me really, really mad.
Ooh, careful!

Careful, it'll come off.

Oh, I don't know,
about 45 minutes.

Forty-five minutes?
What do you think went on in there?

I don't know.
I wasn't inside.

You don't have to be
inside to figure it out.

Look, I gotta trust her.
Michael Chambers, line 2.

Michael Chambers, line 2. You're
either very smart or very stupid.

I can't figure out which.

Hello.
It's me.

He proposed.

Christ.

Christ.

What did you say?

I pretended I wasn't
expecting it.

I said I needed time.

This is my problem:

When I think about
trying again with you,

I have no idea if it's a moment
of strength or a moment of weakness.

Do you remember
the last time we went away?

The conversation we had
in front of the fire? Yes.

I don't want to be on the outside.

It's too painful.

I won't make that mistake again.
I promise.

What do you think would happen
if we went away for the weekend?

I don't see how we can
resolve this any other way.

We could go back
to Whispering Pines.

We could do that.

We had a good time there.

What about Tommy?

I'll pick you up
Friday at 6:00.

Can we take my car?
Yeah, we can take your car.

I forgot.

Suddenly, Friday at 6:00
seems like a long way off.

It's only two days.

All you have to do is say no.
No.

The mobile customer
is away from the phone...

or has traveled beyond the service area.
Please call again later.

Take my courage

Rachel around?
Nope.

What about Tommy?
Nope.

It's sort of important. We were supposed
to hook up, and she never showed.

Don't know where she is?
Everybody got in a car and took off.

Where to?
Uh, Vegas, I think.

Rachel too? You're sure?
She's hard to miss.

Michael.

Hi. How are you?

Good. I had a feeling I'd see you.
Yeah, me too.

Hi, I'm Deborah. Hi. Michael. I'm sorry.

Listen, I'm sorry.
I- I gotta run.

Oh. I'll talk to you soon?
Yeah.

Still have my number? You're sure?
Yeah.

It was nice to meet you.
I'll speak to you soon.

I gotta go.
Bye.

He'll call. What do you want?
You met the guy on a bus.

Have you seen David lately?

Not since you and Ed
got divorced-married!

I'm sorry.
Excuse me.

Michael, when you get to be
my age, you realize...

sometimes the planets
just don't line up.

And there's nothing
you can do about it.

Of course, sometimes
they do line up.

And there's nothing you can do
about that either.

Hi, this is Susan Crenshaw.
I'm not in right now,

but if you leave me a message,
I'll call you right back.

Hi, this is Michael Chambers. I'm sorry to call so late
- Hello!

Oh, you're there.
Yeah.

I just didn't feel like
talking to anybody. Okay, bye.

No, I didn't mean you.

What are you doing?

Sittin' around.
What are you doing?

Sitting around.

Are you with me?

Yeah.

I feel like you're somewhere else.

I feel like I'm
in an ad for fine wine.

But it's nice,
really nice.

I like to be close.

This is close.

This is close to you?

Isn't it?

You're not very present tense.

Is that like
an acting thing?

I love you.

That was nice.

There's somebody else,
isn't there?

Sort of.
Sort of?

Where is she?

I don't know.

There's what you want
and there's what's good for you.

Uh, they never meet.
They never meet.

Except for my mother
and stepfather.

Maybe they think they're
wrong for each other.

Nah, they're too old
for that shit.

Then why do anything
with anybody?

Because anything
is better than nothing.

The idea that you think you make sense
is really terrifying.

Yeah, I know.

Have a nice day, Michael.
Nice seein' you.

That the last of it?

That the last of it, Michael?
Yeah. Listen.

Give me two minutes.
I gotta use the bathroom.

Michael?

Oh, hi.
Hi.

How are you?
Good. And you?

Good. Did you
just get here?

No, just on my way out. I have to
go downstairs to meet a delivery.

Great.
I'll go with you.

Later they find out that Bob, this manager,
is letting this new guy fill the ATM...

without having the second person there
with the offsetting key.

Which you're not supposed
to do, obviously.

It turns out this guy
was stealing money...

and splitting it
with Bob.

A little office intrigue.
Yeah.

Hello. Susan Crenshaw?
Yes.

I need you to sign.

This is for you.

Here you go. Bye-bye.
Bye.

So.

Yeah.

Back to work.
All right.

Take care.

Rachel in tonight?
Haven't seen her.

Hey, I need three scotch waters,
dirty Tanqueray martini up,

two Rolling Rock
and a Red Stripe.

I'm trying to get a message
to Rachel. Is she here?

Tommy's wife?
Yeah.

Tommy's wife?

Right.

Tommy's wife.

Yeah, she's in back.
Do me one small favor,

and the other half...

is yours.

Call it.
It's my club. That's what I call it.

Steve Austin can
walk the plank

Doin' the skoliosis skank

Hey.

I- I put it down right in front of her,
and she wouldn't look at it,

so-
Thanks.

Doin' the skoliosis skank

This song's about Jeremy's back

Yeah!

Loser racks.

Whatcha readin' about, hon?
Tit jobs?

Yeah, I'm thinkin' about having
one put on my forehead.

Could be interesting.

What the hell is this?
What?

What the hell is this?

I don't know.

Are you rolling this guy
behind my back? Tommy.

I swear to God I have no idea
how that got there.

That's all that happened,
Tommy, I swear.

See?
I didn't ask him to come here.

If he bribes her to take me a note,
I can't control that.

Tommy, I just-
Get out of here!

If you want him out of the club,
keep him out. You bet I will.

If I find out you're seeing him, I'll
make the both of you very uncomfortable.

Why "uncontested"? You could've
hit her with the rug salesman.

No point. She'd only been seeing
him a few weeks. That the last one?

Yup.

But if you get adultery,
you can slip out on alimony.

Didn't want to get into all that.
He'll never make it.

The company'll be eating interest
big time, especially on this haul.

He'll make it.
He'll make it.

George Rittenhouse, line three.

George Rittenhouse,
line three.

Yeah? What?
Oh, no. I'll be right there.

Deborah broke water.
Hey, good luck.

Good luck!
Thanks!

So why didn't
you want to get into it?

Bastard. Who?
Somebody.

Since when?
Since before the beginning.

Hello. Myself speaking.
That was a really stupid thing to do.

Don't ever show up again.
Rach! Where are you?

I'm in my car.
What happened?

I was waiting and you never showed
and then you're fucking married.

What the hell is going on? I don't
have time to play games with you.

Why didn't you come?

It is idiotic to be having
this conversation after what happened.

What are you talking about? You
owe me an explanation. Michael.

There's nothing to explain. You
haven't told me why you didn't show.

I shouldn't have to.
What the hell happened to you?

All right, let's just get this
over with. Where are you?

I'm in the Salem Street house.
Oh, God, you're kidding.

You're renting it?
Yeah.

You don't do anything halfway,
I'll give you that.

I'll be there in a minute.
And no funny stuff. Fine.

Chambers.
Yeah?

Thirty dimes on LSU.

Thirty?
Yeah.

Okay.

All right, all right,
all right, all right.

Get us a field goal.

Come on.
Good call to go for the field goal.

You've got time,
if you make it,

to go for an onside kick. Here's
the kick. It is long, and it is good.

A tie. I can live with a tie. We have
a tied game, with 1:19 to go, at 13.

I can live with a tie.

Come on, Florida.
Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep.

Dropping to throw, Morris.

Throwing to the sideline. Complete.
Out of bounds to Emmitt Smith.

And that'll stop the clock.
We're all right. We're all right.

Morris, deep over the middle,
complete to the 45.

Oh, I can't watch this.
To the 44-yard line.

They're edging toward field goal range
with that catch.

Again, Morris-
Oh, God! God!

They got a bunch of it. An 18-yard
pickup. Come on, come on, come on.

Thirty seconds remaining now.
Morris is four out of five. Hit him!

Hit!

Emmitt Smith going to the far side
of the field. That may hurt them,

because they may not be able to
stop the clock. No more time outs.

They got wrapped up
at the 24-yard line by Jimmy Young.

They're done. They're gonna have
a hard time stopping the clock.

The game is over, gentlemen.
Nine seconds, eight, seven, six,

five, they're at the 24.
The game is-

He drops back and throws it
away with one second remaining.

I believe the clock is retired,
but they'll give 'em the one second.

They'll give 'em the one second
even though the clock shows nothing.

It's come down to this.

This field goal try...

will be attempted
from about 41 yards.

Here's the snap,
the kick; it's high.

It is long, and it is...
good!

Florida has won
on the final play of the game.

Sixteen to thirteen.

In the final analysis,
it will be the penalties...

and the Tigers' mistakes
that cost them this win,

because they really played well
against the Florida Gators.

I got good news,
and I got bad news.

The good news is I have
till Tuesday to cough it up.

The bad news is I have
till Tuesday to cough it up.

So I have a year to get you
a present, right?

Yup. I figured I'd get you
something you could really use.

Like hemlock.

Happy?

Like an Oscar winner.

You know me.
I like money.

Not much.
Beats goin' to jail.

Jail? What's jail
got to do with it?

Ask your brother.

What?
What did he do?

He threatened me.

How? When?

When you left town,
he was pursuing me.

He'd call.
He'd follow me.

This went on
for a long time.

I kept asking him to stop.
Finally he did.

- That night we talked about going away-
- Mm-hmm.

He saw us.

He saw us in the car.

He came to see me.

He said he was still
obsessed with me,

that if he couldn't have me,
neither could you.

He tried to come on to me.
I started screaming at him.

If I didn't
stay away from you,

he'd frame me for possession
and send me up. Jesus.

I tried to call his bluff,
and he pulled out a bag...

and started dragging me
to his car.

Why didn't you call me?

Because when your psychopathic brother with
a badge starts throwing his weight around,

I figured, forget this.
And forget you.

The Chambers family
is a bad investment.

But why Tommy?
Why marry Tommy?

He did ask.
Aw, come on. That's not a reason.

You asked once.
Tell me it was the same thing.

Look me in the eye,
and tell me it was the same thing.

He treats me bad.

Look at my arms.
Oh, my God, Rachel.

I know they've killed people.
I just know it.

I don't know how
to get out of it.

You can get out of it.

How? I'm married to Mack the Knife.
How do I get out of it?

We leave.

We'll live somewhere else.

I'm good at leaving.
You know that.

He'll find us.

No, he won't.

What was that?
Somebody's in the house.

Michael?

In here.

Hi, hon.

You know,

it don't look right.

You... can't exactly say it
looks right, now can you?

It's a risk...

in business that
the people closest to you...

may do you wrong.

Usually I can...
figure out a way to get...

satisfaction.

Let's say they're...
skimming.

Well, they can
give me the money back,

work it off,
something.

I'm... pretty good
at balancing these things out.

But, see, you can't
unfuck my wife!

So I find myself looking
to the outer edges of...

acceptable behavior to...

make myself feel better.

It's not nice,
what comes to mind.

Tommy, it was my idea to come-
That's not helping, hon!

I wanted to talk to you.

So the napkin should have
been under my drink.

Now everything makes sense.
I had it all wrong, didn't I?

That's right.
I see.

I wanted to make you
a business proposition.

I wanted her opinion first
about how best to approach you.

And she suggested that you...

seduce her
as a way to approach me?

What business could we
possibly have together?

A job.

A job.

A job job?

Yeah.

Why come to me?

You're the only crook I know.

Is that... polite?

What kind of a job is it, Michael,
that you need a crook?

Where I work.
Where you work.

Armored cars.

I work with armored cars.

And?

And every Monday the cars
go to the retailers,

and they collect all the cash
from over the weekend:

lottery ticket sales
and merchandise sales.

It's taken back to the company
to be verified.

And the whole wad's
taken to the bank.

In one truck.

Could be anywhere from a couple
hundred thousand to a million.

Small bills.

Totally untraceable.

Well.

Hey, school's out.

So what now?

Well, it's you and me, kid.
What?

George collared me. Oh, th-that's
not fair. Y- You've been out all day.

What about Casey, Tom?

Suddenly I'm not good enough?
No, no, that's not it.

It's just what I said.
You've been out all day.

Aah, it's a short run.

Number 19, Chambers and Dutton.
Well, here we go.

Number 19, Chambers and Dutton.

Trucks complete their runs by 4:00.

The money's wrapped
and verified by 6:00.

The truck has to be
at the bank by 6:30,

or the company pays the interest
on missing the day.

So the entire facility is geared towards
getting every dollar on that truck.

This is how it works.
When we get into the bank,

there are loading docks
in the secured delivery area.

You go in, just after we arrive,
in a van,

posing as a legitimate vendor using the
4- digit access code which I'll provide.

And then you scoop it up. How do
you make sure you're the driver?

I check. If I'm not assigned,
I go to the driver...

and tell him
I need the extra hours.

And he just gives them to you?
I can be pretty persuasive.

If it goes smoothly,
they'll know somebody was on the inside.

They're gonna put heat on you. I just keep
denying it. There's nothing they can do.

All right, this is how we'll handle it.
I know this guy, a broker.

I don't know his name,
and I don't want to know his name,

because he is serious.

You think I can exert pressure?
This guy scares the shit out of me.

But this is what he does-
He organizes jobs.

He's got some high-level day gig
with an insurance company or something,

so he knows all the ways to
beat the cops and the ops.

That's why nobody knows him
by name or face.

I call him up and tell him everything
about what we're doing.

And then he puts the whole
thing together.

He hires the men from out of town.
You won't know them.

They will not know you.
They'll just do the job,

and then they will drop
at a predetermined time...

to a predetermined person
at a predetermined place.

That's good.
Who handles the drop?

We'll use one of my guys.

I want somebody I know. Gee, that's
tough, Michael! I want somebody I know!

What about her?
"What about her" what?

He wants you to hold
the money.

And if I say no?

Then it's off.
You're holdin' the money. When?

The sooner the better. One more
thing. I'm not taking a short count.

The broker alone takes 20 percent
on any job he crews.

It's a two-way split.
You can cut your half any way you like.

I'd rather eat airline food.

Can you do it without me?

Well, Michael, you know I can't.
Then it's 50-50.

I don't like it. When you see
all that cash, you'll like it.

So what's the total
for the day?

About a million three.

Hello?

Hello?
When you pass Brazos-

Who is this?
Shut up.

When you pass Brazos
going down Fifth Street,

you'll see a man wearing
a yellow suit and sunglasses.

If our end is going according to plan,
he'll take off his sunglasses.

If your end is going
according to plan,

you signal him by lifting your fingers
off the wheel for one second.

If you don't lift your fingers,
we will assume you want to abort.

Wh-What if-

Thanks for calling.

Are you sure we should
go through with this?

You could say they
wouldn't switch you-

No, no, we're very close now.
We have to follow it through.

It's gonna be fine.

This time tomorrow,
the hard part will be over.

God, I hope so.

Once you get the drop, drive
straight to Whispering Pines.

Don't stop for anything.

It may take me a couple of days.
They'll be asking questions.

We'll have to let things
cool off.

I can't wait for this
whole thing to be over.

Watch it!

Jesus!

Sorry.

Whenever you're ready,
Michael.

Yeah.

Cash or coins first? Ed, I hate to ask
you this, but could I stay with the truck?

How come? Well, there's a woman
in the bank I'd prefer not-

Ohh, a woman. No problem. Thanks.

Susan!
Hey, hey, how are you?

Good.

Stay there!

Ed, get down!

Are you awake?

I don't know.

I might-
I might be dreaming.

I might be dreaming.

You're going
to be fine.

They say you'll recover completely.

Everyone is very proud of you.

Proud?

For trying to stop the robbery.

I'm-

I'm really sorry you couldn't save Ed.

I know you tried.

I know you tried.

I'm tired, so tired.

Michael.

Michael, if you can
understand me, just nod.

I- I can understand.

I want to let you know that
Perennial Armored Car...

is very proud of your performance.
Very proud.

And even though you've only been
with the company a short time,

we want to make very sure that you don't
worry about the financial side of your illness.

As a matter of fact,
when the time comes,

we'd like very much to do an in-depth
profile of you for Armored Transport Now!

I think I told you it's read
by everyone in the industry.

Don't forget about Mr. Fox.
Oh, yes, Mr. Fox,

the founder of Perennial
and a wonderful man,

would like to meet you and have
his photograph taken with you...

to accompany the article.

When the time comes,
of course.

When the time comes.

I said, is there something
I should know?

Ah, you're all right.

Yeah. Yeah.
How about you?

I can't tell.

Michael.
Michael.

They've been
asking questions.

The police and your brother.

My brother.

I think they want something.

And I don't think what they want
is good for you.

I told you.

Those things never meet.

Yeah, you told me.

I told you.

I told you.
I told you.

No, you didn't,
Mr. Chambers.

- I'm sorry?
- I want you to describe what happened...

from the moment you entered
the delivery bay of Grand Texas Bank...

until you lost consciousness.

I- I-I pulled up.

I pulled into the dock.

Dock number one.
Yes, number one.

I- I-I a-and Ed.

I, uh, I turned the engine off,

and, and Ed-

Oh, they killed him.
Didn't they kill him?

Yes.

Maybe, uh,
maybe we should come back.

You fake bastard.

You think you got everybody fooled.

You think because the job
was sloppy and people got shot,

nobody thinks you were in.

It won't wash.

I'm gonna bring you down.

Not because you got Ed killed,

although that would be plenty
reason enough.

But because I think
you're worthless.

You've always
been worthless.

You were nonexistent
as a brother to me.

You didn't lift a finger
to prop Mom up after Dad died.

You've skated along on your looks
and charm, just like a woman,

leaving everybody else
to clean up after you.

Well, I'm gonna
clean up, all right,

and I'm starting
with you.

Get out.

You're an accessory to murder. No, you
don't know what you're talking about.

You were the inside man; we
both know it. You've got nothing.

I've got a bank employee you seduced
to obtain a vendor I.D. number.

How did it happen?
They come to you?

Trap you into it?
Was it her?

What kind of shit did she tell you?
Did she make you promises?

Tell you Tommy was mean to her,
you two should run away together?

Or did she get you in a compromising
situation? You only had one way out.

Was it like that?

You really think
she's waiting for you?

You think you're safe from the bears,
locked in your log cabin,

bolts on the door?

Well-

You just locked yourself inside with
another bunch of grizzlies. Here's how.

Let's say she is on the level.

She double-crossed Tommy Dundee,
and she's waiting for you.

You think Tommy Dundee is gonna
let you get away with that?

You better hope she double-crossed you
and that her and Tommy are laughing,

because if she's not
with him right now,

somebody's gonna make their
way in here to check on you.

And they won't be interested
in your full recovery.

I suppose I could
protect you,

stake somebody outside
the door.

But since you're
such a hero,

I convinced my boss you
wouldn't need protection.

Who'd want to hurt
the man of the hour?

The pillar of courage?

Hell, people want to
shake your hand.

Couple uniforms downstairs to keep away
the press and the well-wishers, sure.

But somebody
outside the door?

What's the point?

It's all your fault.
Right!

Oh, if you'd left her alone.
No. If you had left her alone!

What is it with you?

Thank God
you're bedridden.

I wouldn't be able to stomach the hypocrisy
of you showing up to Ed's funeral...

and standing next to our mother.

Mr. Chambers, how are you?
What can I help you with?

Could you adjust these pillows?
My neck is really getting stiff.

Of course.

Well, part of the problem
is you've got your bed...

tilted too far forward.
Let me take you down-

No, no, no!
I really like it this way.

- But-
- It's just the pillow. The angle's fine.

If you could just adjust the pillows.
All right.

How's that?
Fine, thank you.

I was about to see you anyway.
It's time for your pill.

That's all right.
I really don't need it.

Well, I think you'll find it
very difficult to sleep without it.

It's okay. Maybe a little later.
I really feel okay.

Well, you don't look okay.

No, really.
I'll have it later.

If you say so.

Say-Could you tell me who
that gentleman is waiting out there?

Why is he here?

Oh, that's Mr. Rodman.

His sister was in a traffic accident
last night and hasn't woken up yet.

Maybe he'd like to come in
and talk to me?

I don't know.
I can certainly ask,

although visiting hours
are nearly over.

Could you ask? I'd really,
really appreciate it.

Of course.

Leave the door open!

Why, Mr. Rodman said he'd be
happy to talk with you. Thank you.

Uh, Mr. Rodman?

Mr. Chambers.

Howdy.
Hello.

Uh, she said you just wanted
to talk about-

Yeah, I-I-I-
Please, sit down.

I- I-I, uh, I just
sorta came alive...

and felt like talking.

With my luck, all my
visitors were already gone.

I'd reckon you'd
get a lot of visitors.

Why do you say that?
You're famous, ain't ya?

Yeah. Well.

Oh, boy.

What's that? Your pills?

Yeah.

That's a pain pill, ain't it?
Yeah.

That'll make you sleep.

You better take it, hadn't you?
No. I'm fine.

Okay.

So, who, uh-
What you got in there, spare shoes?

What's that?
In your coat.

I gotta carry that
for my job.

They're obnoxious as hell, but...

I'm in real estate, and
I really don't have a choice.

They're convenient.

So, where'd you
say you work?

I didn't.
Don Sembera Realty.

How long you
been there?

About six years.

You must know
Jeanette Scott.

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Jeanette.

Yeah, she sold me
a house once.

Is that right?
Yeah.

Small world.

Who are you?

I don't know.
Who do you want me to be?

Who are you?
Did Tommy send you?

Buddy, I don't know
who you're talking about. Tommy?

I don't know any Jeanette Scott.
I made that up.

Thank you. I-I didn't know
who you were talkin' about either.

I didn't know-I didn't recognize
that name. I was tryin' to be agreeable.

Trying to be agreeable!
Tommy Dundee sent you here to kill me!

I'll leave. I was tryin'
to be nice. I'm sorry.

I mean, goddamn you. Goddamn you.
My sister's layin' down there,

and I don't know
if she'll get up again.

There's other people in
here got problems. Wait.

Wait, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.
Please forgive me. I'm-

I'm-I guess
I'm a little spooked.

Half the time I-
I-

I don't know what I'm saying. I know, I
don't usually talk like that either, but...

you catch me off guard
like that-

She told me you wanted me
to come in here and talk.

I know. I'm sorry.
I wanted to talk too.

P- P-Please sit down again.

I'm sorry.

So, uh, tell me about your job.

Do you like it?

I got a good job.

The market...

basically sucks right now, but-

It's-Unless you're buying.

Uh, you weren't thinking
about buying, were you?

Somebody's gettin' sleepy
over there.

Sorry.

Uh, I'm gonna let you sleep.

No, no, please.
I'm gonna get out of here.

No. Can't do it.
Uh, could you do me a favor?

Just a small favor.

A favor?

Yeah, I'd really
appreciate it. Really.

It ain't a sponge bath, is it?

That was good.

If you could, uh,

just wait here until
I've gotten a little nap?

Just sit here with me for a while
until I've slept good.

I'd like to, but-
I got my sister down there.

Please. I-

I just need a little sleep.

Okay. Just for a little bit, okay?
Thank you.

I'm just so, uh-

I'm just gonna sit
over here, okay?

It's time to go.

What's he payin' you?

Ten?
Twenty-five?

I'll give you
a hundred.

You know I've got it.

You know I do.

Rachel.

I don't know how it happened when you
were a kid, or who you learned it from.

But you have very strange
ideas about... sharing.

All our negotiating,
20 percent, 50 percent,

that's playground bullshit.

A fair share
is whatever you can take.

And I'm taking everything.

Oh, Jesus Christ,
Howard!

You're not gonna bleed
like this are you?

Rachel.

Rachel.

Rachel.

Rachel!

Please.

Are you fucking kidding me?

You have made a mistake.

I will deal with you
and your mistake in a moment. You-

You don't have any choice.
You have to shoot me.

But I don't think you will.

I can't get up.

If you could just... give me a hand-

When you left, there was
something I didn't understand.

You didn't just leave me,
you left...

everybody.

Everything.

It made me feel very...

interchangeable.

But now I understand the appeal
of just walking away.

There's something very powerful
about being absent.

I think you did the right thing
when you left.

But you shouldn't have come back.

Rachel.
Rachel, please.

Michael.

Right?
