from the school again.
This is the... third time
I've called about the incident
that happened this morning.
(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
Look, we both know
Elijah is a good kid
and, uh...
I know your family's been
through a lot lately, but...
I have been seeing
some changes in him
that I'd like to talk
to you about, so please...
uh... give me a call back
as soon as you can.
All right? Thanks. Bye.

I called your dad.
He can't make it.

Suspension, huh?
Get your shoes on.
I need your help out back.
Why are you gettin'
in fistfights, son?
He was talkin' about Mom.
(SIGHING)
Come here.
Come here and sit down.
You know...
if I'm hard on you,
it's because the world is hard.
You've seen that.
But this...
this is not what your mom
would have wanted.
(BIRD CHIRPING)
Come on. Come on.
Here, take my toolbox.
We're gonna need a third place
for dinner tonight.
Your brother got out.
I want you to be
careful around him.
(INDISTINCT SPEAKING OVER RADIO)
(DOORBELL RINGING)
Remember what I told you.
Eli.
Man.
Six years didn't seem like
such a long time 'til just now.
You got big.
Hey.
This is just for a week or two.
I know.
Thanks.
Let's go see what you
did to my digs.
(R&B MUSIC PLAYING)
- What are those?
- My shoes.
You wear those in public?
I'm saving for new ones.
With what, Dad's
cheap-ass allowance?
(SCOFFING)
Oh, you got a...
little... lemonade stand
thing going?
I can respect that.
Oh, hey. I got a pair of Chucks
hiding in a trunk
around here somewhere.
If I find them, you can
have them. Sound good?
Cool...
'cause those smell
like shit, man.
(LAUGHING)
Mmm!
Wow.
You guys wouldn't believe how
much you miss a home-cooked meal
- in prison.
- Glad you like.
- I do.
- Hmm.
Those are new.
Yeah. You like 'em?
These, um...
ward off evil spirits.
That one wards off Mexicans.
I'm sorry.
Just glad to be home.
What's your next step?
- I'm gonna get a job.
- Yeah?
Doing what?
Well, actually,
I was hoping that you might
put in a good word for me
down at the site
you're working on.
No, no. Can't do that.
- Why not?
- Because I can't clear an ex-con.
- If you told them I was your...
- It doesn't work that way.
(SIGHING)
Great, so...
- six years, no visit, no word.
- I visited.
Once, to tell me
my mom was dead.
Thanks, Hal.
And I come home,
no complaints.
I just ask one small favour,
and you'd rather see your
own son flippin' burgers?
Better than being a thief.
I gotta step out, bud.
I'm sorry.
I got people I need to see.
Don't bother waiting up.

Hey, uh... Jimmy.
Skylar told me to come through.
(HEAVY METAL MUSIC PLAYING)
He's got this bag
on his head...
and they got the shovel, right,
'cause they're gonna, you know,
afterwards, right?
He swings back, hits...
Hey, Solinski.
Welcome home, my man.
- You remember my brother, Dutch?
- Yeah.
How's it going?
That's Remy.
Don't worry about him.
- He's in a time out.
- Hey, man, come on...
Stick your nose
back in that corner!
That is, if you want to keep it.
Contemplate that
shitty attitude.
So, Jimmy...
you wanna burn one
or just get right to it?
Uh... I'm good. I don't wanna
take up any of your time.
Um... I just came by to say...
that I know I owe
you guys some money.
- Uh-huh.
- And, uh, I'm takin' that
- real serious.
- Good, 'cause protection
ain't cheap. Dutch, what's
he gonna do us for?
60?
You don't got our 60?
No, uh...
no, but I just wanted
you guys to know I'm
not dodging you.
Man...
that is a bummer.
'Cause you see, Jimmy,
me and my brother, we don't...
we don't project any illusions
about who we are
or what we do, you know?
We were very clear
that first day,
post-charges or what have you,
about how we deal with loans.
'Cause, uh...
there are people
who do business like you...
...and there's people
that do business like us.
So, um...
is there something funny
about the language on that
you didn't understand, or...
some kind of...
- fine print problem?
- No.
- No.
- 'Cause, uh...
we know you
have your... the father.
What's his name? Harold?
And a... little coloured brother
too, right?
I got that right?
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, I guess we could
go collect from them.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on.
Hang on. I was just saying
I didn't have it here.
I didn't say
I don't have it.

I wanna help you.
I really do.
But you've gotta
understand something...
you've got a decade
of bad decisions
under your belt.
You're gonna have to work at
some jobs that you don't like.
You're gonna have
to gain experience.
You're gonna have
to gain trust.
(DISTANT SIREN BLARING)
Well, I'll talk to you tomorrow.
No, we should talk now.
60K.
I need $60 000.
I didn't want to ask you,
but I've got no other options.
What? 60 000? I don't
have that kind of money.
- You gotta hear me out, OK?
- No, no, no, I don't. No.
Not in my house. Whatever it is,
I'm not interested.
There's a safe in your office.
Please.
I will never ask you
for anything ever again.
I swear.
You want me to steal for you?
Let you steal? What is this?
- This isn't for me.
- Well, who's it for then? Who?
Dangerous people, people you
can't just not pay back!
These guys
kept me alive in jail.
If I don't pay them back,
who knows what they'll do?
Do you understand
what I'm trying...
I'm trying to help you guys!
You get out of my house.
Get out of my house! Out!
Dad! Dad... Dad.
You know, I really hoped
I was gonna come back
to the house
that time forgot, but...
you've made some changes.
My room? That's gone.
You got your replacement son
sleeping up there, in my bed.
You've erased every trace of me.
What do you think
Mom would have said?
Don't you talk about your mom.
Now you get out of my house.
I'm not gonna tell you again.

(SOUND EFFECTS FROM TV)
What is this?
Well, there's a bunch
of old scrap yards
- that pay money for...
- You're scrapping now?
Where?
Just this place
off Grand River.
Does this place...
does it have a fence around it
and a locked gate?
Does it have a sign
that says "stay out"?
- Huh?
- Yes.
All right. I've got
a list of property developers
at my office.
Now, you and I are gonna
go down there, and you are
gonna call each and every
single one of these places...
Dad, it's just a bunch
of old metal.
It's not yours, Elijah!
None of it.
- Go get in the truck.
- Dad, I didn't...
Do you want me to call
the police? What am I gonna do?
No.
It was just stuff that's
been sitting there for years.
Everything that has
ever been stolen
was something that was
"just sitting there."
I don't even know
why I listen to you.
You don't have
a choice in that, kid.
- I'm your father.
- No, you're not.
The only reason I'm here
is because you guys wanted
some kind of... replacement kid.
Look at me.
You are nobody's replacement.
Your mother is...
she's not here anymore,
but you are our son,
and now it is my job
to raise you right.
And I am doing the best job
that I can
without her.
I love you, son, and that's
why we're here.

- This is Dad?
- Hold on. You gotta leave.
- Hey, Dad.
- Hang on, man.
- What are you doing in here?
We're just taking the money
out of this safe.
Dad, you gotta
get out of here right now.
Just turn around.
Just walk out of here. Trust me.
I don't know what my son
promised you,
but that is not his
to give, and it is
not yours to take.
It isn't?
- No.
- Taylor, please, man.
This doesn't have anything
to do with him, all right?
Shh, Jimmy.
Your father was talking.
Please, you were saying?
- I don't have a gripe with you.
- Oh.
But we gotta
put all the money back?
You do.
- All right, hang on.
- No, wait. Wait.
I love this part.

At the... uh...

Yeah. These guys
broke in and they...
dumped over a whole
shit ton of concrete
- back there.
- And he called you
- to pick me up?
- Yeah.
Yeah, why wouldn't he?
Well, I heard you two
arguing last night.
Yeah?
How much did you hear?
Well, he was kind of pissed
off. I heard him kick you out.
Yeah. We're family.

What?
It sounds like it's
a real shit show out there, man.
That spill's gonna take a week
to clean up,

He said something
about after school...
uh, daycare.
"Daycare"? I'm 14.
- I'm not 6.
- I told him. I told him.
(SIGHING)
We gotta pull together, dude.
I mean, I know I've
been away for a long time...
and you've been busy
with school and stuff.
- I got suspended.
- No shit?
Well, even more reason then.
- For what?
- I told Dad that we should
go on a road trip.
Me, you and him.
Well, just me and you at first,
but he'll come find us later.
We could go out West.
Lake Tahoe.
Mom loves it out there.
Hey, it's gotta
be warmer than here, man.

And Dad's OK with this?
Yeah, he's fine with it.
I called him. You wanna...
you wanna talk to him?
Call him.

wanna do chores?

Great. Go pack some shit.

By the time
we came of age, the game to beat
was down on Clinger Street.
There was this fella
named Big Reggie.
I'll never forget the day
Big Reg decided to lay claim
to my Walkman.
I came home,
crying and bleeding.
When he saw the state I was in,
before I knew it, we were
walking back up the block
to Big Reggie's house.
Dutch busted in the door,
caught him on the shitter
and stabbed him six times
in the ear.
For me.
He did it for me.
If I'd have known
how you were gonna end up...
...I would've kept
this Walkman on me
every day of my life.
You were a monster, Dutchie...
...and I'll love you
forever for it.
Thank you for coming.

Well, he's 14.
He's surrounded by...
beautiful, half-naked women
and I'm giving him
as much pop as he wants,
so... yeah,
- I'd say it's pretty good.
- Right.
Um...
I have a lot of money on me.
I'm looking to get pretty drunk,
he's looking to get

Hey, we're here

He's here to become a man.
Aren't you, bro?
Is it working?
Do you feel manly yet?
Let me tell you something, OK?
Coming to a place like this
never made anybody a man. Ever.
Your brother's cool.
He's fun, but...
he's about as grown as you are.

I don't.
It's just I don't

I just never felt like I fit in,
like, anywhere, really.
Hey, you're an outsider, man.
I dig that.

What's up with you and Dad?
I mean, he never
talks about you much,
and when he does, he's...
- always mad.
- Um...
Me and Dad...
we were just never
there for each other.
And now...
Why are we talking

I mean, we're

We're supposed to be

Are you guys... serious?

(JIMMY SIGHING)
I'm sorry.
(MILLY SIGHING)
'Cause this is
the Ritz, right?
(JIMMY LAUGHING)
(ELECTRONIC HUMMING)
- (SHRIEKING)
- Sorry.
It does that.
OK.
Here.
Thanks.
Where'd you get that
on your hand?
My parents.
Well, my original ones.
Mom or Dad?
I don't know.
- I mean, I was just a baby, so...
- That's how you wound up
- with, uh...
- From a shelter.
When I was just
a couple months old.
Check it out.
My parents gave me these
for crying.
Yeah. Sometimes people
who aren't
ready to have kids
have them anyway.
What'd you do?
At the time?
Um... probably kept on crying.
Yeah, I left home eventually.
When I was, I don't know,
a couple years older
than you, maybe?
Been on the move ever since.
- Hmm.
- You know, I've...
I've had to say "peace"
to pretty much...
everyone I've ever met.
It's pretty messed up, huh?
Yeah.
Hey.
Don't hide it, OK?
It's proof you're a survivor.
And it looks cool.

Where can I take a piss?
The bathroom's

I can't go if you're gonna

Tay, man...
Look, the... the guys
are wondering
if we're planning
on stopping for rest.
The kid said "Tahoe"
so we're going to Tahoe.
They can rest when they're dead.
Watch yourself,
it's slippery there.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
So what's your angle?
Don't get me wrong.
I mean, I like you.
I know he really likes you...
but you can't expect us
to believe you just joined us
out of the goodness
of your heart, so...
Yup. The plan was to rob you
and bail in the middle
of the night, but...
Oh, wait! You're broke.
You're an asshole.
You're an asshole!
I was stuck there, all right?
Lee has a way of getting
girls he likes to stay...
as long as he sees fit.
You feel me?
The two of you guys
walking in there,
handing it to him...
first I've ever seen that.
I got in your truck
'cause you guys seem like
some good guys, you know?
Plus, if you...
did try anything funny,
I'm pretty sure even I
could take you
in a fistfight, so...
To fistfights?
Mm-hmm.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
That, um...
thing...
your brother has in there?
You need to call
someone about that.
Can't do that.
Right.
Well...
whatever it is
you've gotten him into,
he's gonna figure
it out eventually.
I hope you're ready for that.
What if I knew a way
to get your money back?
What if I tell you...
I want a cut?
I want a cut
of everything you get
over the money
you need returned.
And you guys
give me a ride West.
You ever rob anyone?
It's been a minute.
What about card games?
Look man,
it's your choice either way.
OK? But I've gotta do this.
Look, I just don't
want to hurt anyone.
We're not.
That's what I'm saying.
We're gonna scare them,
but we're not gonna hurt them.
Promise.
I promise.
And besides, we got
a giant ray gun, dude.
They're gonna be
pissin' in their pants!
OK. Lee's here.
That's his truck.

Hands up! You know what this is!
All right.
Lyle, you stand up.
On your feet.

Now, did you
tell all your buddies
about our little incident
back at the club?
Huh? Did you tell
these guys what happens
when the kid fires that thing?
Huh? Do we need
another demonstration
of the ray gun?!
Clever. All right.
Here's what's gonna happen.
Me and this guy
are gonna walk to the pot.
The rest of you are gonna
stay here and play
the statue game.
Lyle...
I'd like my money back.
Let's go.

Eli! You are one big,

That was amazing, dude!
How'd we do?
- I got a bag of money here!
- Ahh! Yes! I knew it!
But, uh... I happened
to obliterate his nuts.
(SOUTHERN ACCENT): Why, thank
you! You are my hero, cowboy.
How about that, huh? What do
you think about that, huh?

for the first time.
I wanna make sure that you know

And there's something

I was gonna go to the tables

Uh...
We can talk about this

I didn't mean

It's fine. It's fine.
Hide your gun.

Yeah, OK.

(REPORTER): In an unusual
twist, police are now
saying the two suspects in
the murder are Harold Solinski's
own sons: 28-year-old
James Solinski
and his adopted
African-American brother...
- What?
- (REPORTER): ...14-year-old
Elijah Solinski. According
to police, Elijah Solinski
has no previous
criminal history,
but James has an extensive
criminal background
including multiple
felony convictions.
Authorities believe James
to be the likely ringleader
and are strongly urging caution
in the event of any sightings
as they believe James
to be armed and dangerous.
Police had previously revealed
the identity of the victim
killed during the robbery
as Harold Solinski, a local
area man who neighbours
have described as hardworking
- and a loving father.
- Eli... Eli, we have to go.
Come on. Come on.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you so much.
Oh! 3 for 3. 200 on black.

- He can't be in here...
- I know. I'm so sorry.

- Just wait a minute. What are you talking about?
- You're a liar!
- Look, get a hold of yourself.
- You killed him, Jimmy! You did!
Listen. I know you
wanna hit me right now,

It didn't happen the way
they're saying, OK?
Eli...
Me and these guys...
we were stealing money
from his safe.
That part's true.
I owed them money, and they were
gonna kill me if I didn't do it,
and...
they were gonna
kill you guys too.
Dad walked in,
and...
I begged him.
Eli.
Eli, look at me. Please.
I pleaded with him
to turn around
and walk out the door,
but he wouldn't do it.
I know I'm not a good guy,
but there was nothing I could
do in the situation...
- Jimmy.
- I didn't want any of this...
Stop talking.
If he was hard on us,
it's because the world
is hard.
A good man
does the right thing...

Look, let me show you, alright?
Under that scar... is the reason why
you're able to operate that thing.

Look, I know things have been
tough for you here,

making it any easier.
But remember, just because
you're by yourself
doesn't mean you're alone.
You've got me.

you were giving inside.
Your brother seems to be
matching it blow for blow.
With the exception
of a few things.
I'd say he's covering for you.
Which I might just
advise you to let him do.
What's gonna happen to him?
He's gonna go away
for a while.
But if he keeps cooperating, it might
not be for as long as he thinks.
You gonna tell me
where that weapon is?
OK.
We're not done.
