Logan Lucky (2017)
Now, the story goes
that John Denver, he was playin' at this little ol' place called the cellar door in Washington, DC-- around christmastime in 1970. And his opening act was this husband and wife duo named bill danoff and Taffy nivert. And they called themselves fat city. That's kind of a funny name. Yeah, that is kind of a funny name. Socket. Uh, 5/8ths. Now, one night they decide to go on back to the house and have a little jam session. On the way they got in an accident and John Denver, he broke his thumb. When they finally got back to the house and bill and Taffy played him-- played John Denver this song they'd been working on, he flipped for it, man. They worked on that thing till dawn. Screwdriver. Flat head or Phillips? Flat. So that's why you like the song. Well, I like the song because of the song. I mean, i guess I also like it 'cause it's got a story behind it. You know, bill danoff later said that he ain't never even been to West Virginia. Well, I like the song too, but I don't really think it'll work for the pageant. Pliers. Regular or needle-nose? Needle. Are you coming to my rehearsal? Yeah. I'm gonna pick you up right after work. Just so you know, I asked mommy if she and moody would pay for your cell phone. She said even if they did, you wouldn't take it. Sadie-bug, she's right. The only thing... I need a cell phone for is taking pictures of you. Gun show. Hey, daddy. Nope. What you say, Cal? Hey, Jimmy. Come on in. Shut that door, would ya? Yeah. Have a seat. Jimmy, I'm just gonna say it. I gotta let you go. Cal, i-- I didn't even do nothin'. I know you didn't do nothin'. But last week, someone in hr saw you leavin', walkin' out to your truck, and they saw you was limping. So? My leg ain't got nothin' to do with driving that case. I know that. I know. But the folks over in the big office, they feel different, and they said you didn't list it on your paperwork when you was first brought on. No! And they're calling it a "pre-existing condition" and that it is a liability issue. Okay, this big then. This big. And you let me drive my truck around the track. No. It's a four-wheel drive. I can get 150-- purple lady, you know my brother Jimmy? Oh, Jimmy Logan. That ballplayer that was gonna be a big deal? Hey, purple lady. My husband, the major, when he was still alive, he loved lsu football. Whenever they'd show the games here local, we'd watch. Course, for me it was all about the uniforms. Their jerseys are the most striking shade of purple. Purple. Yes, purple. And gold. Royal colors. Yeah, i got off early, so I figured I'd take Sadie on over to her dance thing so you didn't have to drive her. Well, that's great and all, you wantin' to see your daughter dance and everything, but it was yesterday. Shit. Excuse you! I got her there fine, by the way. See, most people think if you're gonna go to Charleston, then, duh, you get on the 85 for danville, then the i-19 to Charleston. Fifty-four miles. But being 4:00 P.M., I knew-- not the best time of day to be on the road. And they're still doing all that shoulder work on the i-19. Plus, then you got the sun right in your eyes for that whole stretch outside of Julian. So, yeah, i took the 85 to danville, but then I hopped onto the 3. So instead of going up and over, I'm going over and then up. After that, it was just a straight shot on Daniel Boone parkway all the way to marmet. It sure sounds like you love to drive. It was just rehearsal. Not like the real pageant. But Bobbie Jo was not happy. Why didn't you call me? Tried, but your cell phone seems to have been turned off. You should pay your bills. Everyone needs a cell phone. I don't like 'em. You one of them unabomber types? Yeah. I am one of them unabomber types. See, I don't like people tellin' me what to do, like answer the phone. Hey. Oh, this is gonna be good. Look, I'm sorry. Okay? I'm sorry. I thought it wa-- i knew it was 4:00. I just thought it was 4:00 today. That's the first time you've used that excuse. Look, I said I was sorry. Mellie said y'all figured it out just fine anyway. She also tell you that she got pulled over goin' 30 miles over the speed limit with my daughter in the car? That's our daughter. Sadie said her aunt Mellie worked her Mellie magic and talked the cops into not giving her a ticket. So that's a real good character-building experience for our daughter to witness. Don't laugh at me! Yeah, yeah, whatever. Forget it. Wh-what's up with the "for sale" sign out there? You didn't tell me you and moody's buyin' a new house. Daddy! Hey! What are you doin'? Nothin'. Ow! Ow! Man! Hey, me and your mama was just talkin' about maybe me and you goin' to get some ice cream. I'm not allowed ice cream anymore. Says who? Mommy. She says it's got too many calories and that nobody loves a fat girl. You ain't fa-- I think that's a little bit harsh. This is some of that co-parenting stuff you and I need to talk about. That Dr. Phil stuff. Hey, Jimmy. Hey, moody. What's goin' on, sweetie? Thank you. Hey! Hey, you two don't settle down, you ain't gon' get no mall! Daddy, will you come with? I'm taking Sadie and the boys to see that new furious fast movie at the mall. You want in? Uh... it's a little-- it's a little intense for the kids, ain't it? No, they love it. Keeps em quiet. They sit there, staring at the screen the whole time, scared shitless. - You wanna come? - Please? I gotta get, um-- get on goin' to work. You know? Aw. Ain't got time for a whole movie. But you go and have fun. Give me a hug. No, my back! We're gonna get some ice cream. Promise? Okay. But it's gotta be yogurt, 'cause I got the pageant coming up. Oh, I finally know what song I'm gonna sing for talent! What song? "Umbrella" by Rihanna. When Rihanna sings "umbrella," she's not really singing about a rain umbrella. She's really singing about her vagina. It's code. - Who told you that? - Everybody. Come on! Let's go! Everybody in the expedition! Whoo! Hey, kiss your mother when you leave. Aw. Thank you. See ya, sweetie. Bye. Mmm. -Hey. -Yeah? I wasn't done talkin' to you yet. Okay. What am I in trouble for now? We need to talk about some legal stuff. Hey, uh, Jimmy, uh, your car? Moody, can you give us a minute? Okay. Legal stuff? You was askin' about the "for sale" sign. Yeah. Moody's expandin'. His family's opening up a new dealership down in lynchburg. That's across the state line. Hell, no. You can't just tell me that, like I ain't got no say in the matter. You'll still get your days. Just we'll be in lynchburg. You can drive across the state line to pick her up. I have full custody. It's not happenin'. I'm gettin' a lawyer. With what money? What you say there, Earl? Hey, Jimmy. So... I been uncoverin' a lot. Did you know aunt Maggie, in 1983, won the lotto but then lost the ticket-- folktales and backwood gossip. Well, you gotta admit this kind of stuff don't happen to normal folk. Not tonight, Clyde. Just-- there's a pattern. Pappaw's diamond, uncle stickley's electrocution, mommy gets sick after daddy's settlement, the roof collapse-- come on, Clyde. You blow your knee out. And a roadside mine takes my arm as I was transpo-ing out. I was almost at the airport. What about Mellie then? Ain't nothin' bad ever happen to Mellie. Hmm? What? You just gave it a mouth. You need to take it back. I don't even know what I'm t-- I'm gonna go to my satellite office. Then we gonna talk about this. The dirty big secret is that I am the asset in this scenario. It's not Dayton white. Right? And the simple fact is, I'd be driving that car myself if my day job wasn't running a billion-dollar company. And by the way, it was my understanding that this is America, people. So them trying to muzzle the company that I created in America is a violation of my free speech. And plus-- plus, two of those kids only had one kidney to begin with. So why isn't anybody writing about that? Right. It's total bs. What do you like? Oh. I just thought of a great song title. "The kindness of a one-armed bartender." All right, no. See, I got two arms. See? I'm a transradial amputee. So it's my lower forearm and hand that's missing. My mistake. I'm very lucky. I guess I can settle for a stoli, extra dry, two olives. Can you handle that? Uh, yeah. Up or on the rocks? Up. That's pretty good. Could be colder. Ice shortage around here 'cause of the water contamination plant from the chemical leak upstream. Hey, do you mind doing that drink thing again? Wanna shoot a post. Got 1.2 million followers. This could make you famous. How 'bout he bounce a damn ball on his nose for you next like a trained seal? Sorry. You got a problem? Yeah, i got a problem. I take exception to people messin' with my brother. That's two tours in Iraq right there. He stepped forward when others were steppin' back. So you need to show a little respect. Thank you for your service. And cheers. So, brothers, eh? You know, it's funny. With your bad leg and his missin' an arm-- excuse me. Hand. It's like the two of you almost add up to one normal person. Oh, man, i know who you are. You're that-- you're that guy on the TV with the drink. I mean, you famous. Right on both. I'm that guy on the TV with the drink, and yes, I'm famous. Very, very famous. Hey, can I get a photo with you? Sure. Sure. Yeah? The guys at the garage ain't gonna believe me. Make it quick. Hold on. Wait a second. There we go. All right. Good. --Hey, what the-- hey, Earl. You got a light? Well-- oh, uh-- here. Ah, thank you. Stay down! Stay down! Fire! Fire! It's on fire. That is massively stupid! That's an $85,000 vehicle. Well, he was assaulted. He tried to assault me. Well, don't just stand there gawping. Get your phones out! Film this! Document! Hey. Aw-- Christ! Cauliflower. - This is Max. Get Mike on the phone. - What'd he just say? Wait. Y-you can't just walk away. This is a crime scene. Did you just say "cauliflower" to me? Unless I'm mistaken, yesterday, as you were leavin' the bar, you said the word "cauliflower." That's right. I did. The last time you said that word to me, I ended up gettin' sent down for six months. It was juvie. I was 13. And you were supposed to be the lookout, now, weren't you? Bein' that I was your kid brother, I let you lead me into trouble with all your crazy cauliflower plans. My life of crime is over. But you did make breakfast this morning. Even burned the bacon like I like and you hate. I also saw you have some sort of robbery "to-do" list. Now, I know this attempt to be organized is a big step for you. So go. Charlotte motor speedway. The speedway. It's one of the busiest sports venues in the country. Just last year they had over 300 events. It's the official home of nascar, of course. That's all run on that main track. But that place right there ain't just about racing. This place is like a city. A few years ago they built condos for people who wanted to live above the track all year long. They sold out in less than 24 hours. They even got their own police force and jail for people carryin' on and gettin' out of hand. Do you hear the words comin' out your mouth? They have their own police force. I'm midway through my presentation, so you can just not interrupt me and let me get it out. How many times have I listened to that "Logan family curse" thing of yours? Thank you. Now, as you very well know, speedway's got a big problem on its hands night now. Forty-year-old pipe burst, and since the whole thing is built on landfill, it's turnin' to mush, which is causin' all these sinkholes. Sinkholes. That's right. The sinkholes in the infield. Now, they wanted to fix this thing up right. So what'd they do? What'd they do? They called a bunch of us that used to work down in them mines. 'Cause we know the work. And you do good work. We do good work. But you were just fired. I was let go for liability reasons involving insurance. Can you just get to the part of why you think you can do this? I know how they move the money. Who's got the code? They can't get in! It's Christmas. "12-25." That's the override. All right. I got a leg! I got a leg! Give him some air. Easy, easy, easy, easy. All right. Come on. Hey, bobo, what the hell's all this stuff? Well, that's the ptt. What, them-- they gas lines? Pneumatic tube transport. Each concession has its own rig. When the register starts to fill up, they can do a money dump through the ptt. Easy to do, and it don't interfere with the beer sellin'. Plus, heck of a lot more secure than tryin' to pick up cash during a race. So, all them pipes, what, they just run right into-- to the main vault. The whole thing is like a cash highway. I even know the when to do it. June 4. The grocery castle auto show. It's graduation weekend. It'll be the smallest turnout of the summer. There gonna be bare bones staff and security. A real bank vault? Yeah, it's a tough one too. I looked it up on the Google. The only guy that knows anything about blowin' up real bank vaults is Joe bang. Joe bang? That's a legend right there. - You know where he is. - No, I know where he is. We can't do it without him. This is a surprise. What you say there, Joe bang? Ain't seen you in a while. How goes it? Well, I'm sittin' on this side of the table wearin' a onesie. How do you think it's goin'? Well, you look good. Real good. Fit. You two got any quarters? I got a quarter. Does it have to be a quarter? Yeah. Come on now. I found one. Yeah, well, one of you go over to the machine on the left, you punch j-7. Bring it back. Go on, now. Doctors. They say i have high blood pressure. So I get this low-sodium salt special. Fake salt. Can you believe that? Someone thought to do that. They make fake salt. So, you wanna talk business? Well, we got a job for you. A vault. Look around you, my friends. My bank-blowin' days are over. I... I got a little nest egg waitin' for me when I get out. You're stashin' $97,000? Buried under the oak tree with the red swing there at your place? Maybe. It seems your brother fish told his wife about your stash. Fish told misty? Yep. Next day misty dug the whole thing up and ran off with some truck driver from Florida. What part of Florida? Clearwater. It's a carven hill vault. Just like the one you blew up in parkersburg. Steel-encased concrete? Yeah. Wall's 20-inch thick. Alarms? You sneeze within ten feet of a carven hill vault, its seismic sensors will have you wearin' one of these onesies before you know what happened. Well, there's construction goin' on round there right now, so them seismic sensors are turned off. So we just need you to blow her open. I got five months to go in here. I should probably lay low a bit before doin' a job. This has to happen in five weeks. I am... Incar... cer... Ra... Ted. Yeah, we got a... plan to get you out. As in, break me out? Yep. In the middle of the night? No. Afternoon. It's a day job. You're gonna get me out of here in broad daylight, do the job and then get me back in here before anyone notices? Yup. You logans must be as simpleminded as people say. People say that? Who? So... What's the take? It's bigger'n you can bury under an oak tree. And the split? Even split. No. No way. Well, why not? I got a brother. I got two. I'd need 'em involved to protect my interest. Say, why don't you take these over to your mama? I'll bring the rest. When you gonna give that piece of junk up? Huh? I keep telling you to come down to the dealership and I'll hook you up. You know we're family. We're not family. You mean, i can't interest you in the latest v6 offering of the American classic mustang? 3.7 liters of pure power. Come on. You can't tell me you wouldn't love to get behind the wheel of this baby. Come on, jump on in. Take it for a spin. I don't need anything that fancy. Well, you know this Nova ended up costin' Chevy a ton. It totally bit the dust in Mexico. You know, in Mexican "Nova" translates to "no go." They couldn't get anyone to buy it 'cause they all thought the car would, you know, no go. You're an idiot. No, it's true. Not true. Look it up. I am kinda surprised you went for the v6 automatic. The v8's just so much faster, and you can really feel the road under you. Course, I keep forgettin', you can't drive stick. No, i-i know how to drive stick. I don't think you do. All the cars you always bringin' home from the lot are auto. I love stick. I'm a big fan of stick! Whoo-hoo! Yeah! Yeah! Go! Come on! Come on! Come on, come on, come on! Come on, girl! Let's go! Go, Sadie! Whoo-ooh! You got a ribbon, baby. Come here. What's it say? It's not first place. It only matters if you win. What? That ain't true at all. That boy's damn near 14 years old. Come on. Give me a smile. Go show your mama. Good job, baby doll. Come to mama. Thanks. Aww. You did good! Let me see. Well, i found 'em. Where? You should see. They'll know what we want them to know. Let's hear it for the bang brothers, folks! Aw, dang. Y'all got a sec? Whoa, whoa. I'm winnin'. Okay? Not stoppin'. Don't you put the Logan hex on me. Yeah, we been out to see your brother. He tell you that we're lookin' to talk to y'all? Joe said you need for him to blow open the vault. Somethin' like that. Mm-hmm. Joe said you know computers. Yeah. I went to, uh, technical college. Well, this here's a little more involved than that. We need, like, a computer whiz. Like one of them Facebook boys. I know everything there is to know about computers, okay. All the twitters. I know 'em. But me and Sam just ain't sure we can help y'all. You can't help us? Yeah. We're livin' with the lord now. Which means on the light side of the raw. Mm-hmm. If you two ain't into this, then why the hell did Joe tell us to come out here then? We gotta have a good reason to break the law, do somethin' like robbin'. We need a moral reason. We'd be robbin' the grocery castle auto. You can't tell me you ain't shoplifted from the grocery castle. Oh, yeah. We used to shoplift from them all the time. But that was before. Yeah, well, our-- our sister Mellie. She used to work up at the grocery castle outside Manila. And they promoted her to checker after a month. Then the assistant manager started gettin' handsy. -Handsy. -No! So you can imagine our family don't have no love for the grocery castle. I can understand the feelin'. And this bein' their big event and all, the auto show, we don't feel too bad about it. Nope. Come here. What you think? Yeah. Okay. Sounds good enough for us. 'Cause of the whole morality thing. Mmm. I need you two to go visit the bear in the woods. Tell him you're there to collect the bag he's been keepin' for me. Cauliflower. Vehicular mischief. Reckless endangerment. Destruction of private property. I'd take your license away, Clyde, but it was suspended two years ago. Despite your claim that this was an accident, that your foot slipped, these are serious charges. Your previous run-ins with the law were back when you were classified as a juvenile. And of course, in determining your sentencing, I'm taking into account your service and the great sacrifice you've made for our country. I sentence you to 90 days. You sure these measurements is right? Mellie gave 'em to me. Mellie knows her trucks. -Sadie's to-do list. Make sure you get it all done. -Mm-hmm. Come on. Careful! Tannin' salon? Uh-huh. Well, we'll see about that. It has to be dependable. I can't have no chance of it breakin' down. You want a camper coverin' the bed of the truck, or just empty? Cover's a good idea, 'cause them campers, they can get kinda creepy. I think them cops more likely to give them camper trucks a second look. All right, Sadie-bug, get them goggles down. I don't wanna get none of this in your peepers. You sure about this? I'm ready. All right. Close your eyes. You littered all over my car with your shoes. Well, I'm sorry. Ah! Get your hands off. Ah. Hi! Oh. You excited? Yes. Extensions! I got real long this time. Yes! I thought you was goin' as Rihanna. Daddy, it's not Halloween. I'm not going as Rihanna. I'm singing a song of hers for my talent. I still got two other categories to compete in-- denim wear and glitz. For glitz i need this hair. All right. That looks like it hurt. What? It did. It's healin' up now pretty good though. Looks like you could've used a couple of stitches. Mmm. Little late for that, I guess. Mmm. When was the last time you had a tetanus shot? Um... Never? That the wrong answer? There are no wrong answers when you're talking to a health care professional. Would you like one? What is all this, like, for charity or somethin'? Jimmy Logan, you know as well as I do folks round here don't like the word "charity." We west virginians are a proud folk. We have a couple of grants, but mostly get by on private donations. People happy we do our work, drivin' from town to town, tryin' to help locals who can't make it to the doctor. What happened to three, two, one? So, you know me? We met before? I went to valley view. Couple years behind you. Huh. Back then you were all Jimmy Logan, quarterback, homecoming king. Only had eyes for Bobbie Jo Campbell, if I recall. Hold that there. Think you'll like this one. There you go. I got that. So, Sylvia. Ain't no one ever called you sylvie? No one has ever called me sylvie. That's weird. My name? Well, you know, it's just-- it's kinda like an old lady name. To me. It just don't seem like it should be on a person like you. That looks like you. You know. My grandmama, her name was Sylvia. So that's just-- that's what I think of when-- when I think of that name. Oh. I thought you was just gettin' coffee. Didn't know we was seein' patients yet. I got a coffee and a patient. But we'd better hit the road. - Sounds like that alternator needs a tetanus shot. Alternators cost money. Tetanus shots are free. There's a garage over off bluefield canyon road. Ask for Earl. Might not be free, but he'll treat you fine. Thanks. You're welcome. Hey, hey, hold on a second. Hold on. Did we kiss? I mean, in high school. We kissed, didn't we? That has got to be the worst thing anyone has ever said to me. Hold on! Wait, wait! I'm sayin' I remember, is all! I do. I do remember. I see there's still a lot of your rules up there. So? Just, have you thought about having a backup plan, or... what we're gonna do the first time shit happens, let alone the second time? Why don't you just worry about your cockroaches and I'll worry about the rules. Okay. Jimmy? Hey, what you say, Cal? Hey! How you been? What's goin' on, man? Oh, you know, just stayin' busy. Good, good, good. Hey, did you find work? Yeah, a few things. These parts, or back over in Boone county? No, back home. Well, I'm glad to hear that. You know I felt bad about having to let you go. Come on, man. Don't even worry about it. I know it was them, not you. Even if things had been different, I probably would have had to let you go anyway since we're wrapping it up. What? Y-y'all wrappin' up the site? Y'all done? Yeah, just about, yeah. Managed to be ahead of schedule for once. Huh. You patched up all them sinkholes? Yeah, almost. Gonna pull the gear first of the month. You know that thing we been talkin' about? We gotta move it up a week. What happened? Opportunity's gonna be closin' up. So everything stays the same. We just gotta move everything up by one week. Wait. One week earlier? But that's-- I know. I guess this is "shit happens." Yep. So, should we cancel? No difference. The Coca-Cola 600 is the biggest race of the year. That's a big difference. It don't change the job at all. So should I call the Baker? Call the Baker. This is gleema. Gleema purdue? Yes. I need you to sign right here, please. Uh... Right there, please. Who's it from? No idea, ma'am. No card. No name with the paperwork. We just deliver 'em. He just said, "i guess someone thinks it's your birthday." I mean, i have no idea. I've never seen a more beautiful cake. Well, maybe somebody's got a crush. Well, I have no idea who it could be. After that last experience on plenty of fish, I have stayed away from the online dating. Gleema. You'd better come out front again. What, more for me? Not exactly. Someone hit-and-ran you, ma'am. We'll check the cameras. In the meantime, we're gonna need you to fill out some paperwork. My car! Man. I'm sorry about your car, but I really need you to start filling this out. Is it 5:30? There's no arguin' with that automatic door. Are you okay? I didn't get to finish my cake. Hey, y'all. Just gonna squeeze myself in there. So, naaman, I got a little proposition for you. 1-1-3... 1-1... 3... Shit. Hey, Jimmy. No names. You callin' from a secure location? A what? A secure location. I'm... I'm at the lowe's. You callin' from a land line or a cell phone? I'm callin' on a... phone. Like, a real phone. Go ahead. We have a code pink. I repeat. We have a code pink. Ma'am, we got a code pink. The shock-and-awe campaign of bacon and sardines has worked. Hold on, hold on. Fish! Sam! Hold on. Hold on! Get up, goddamn it! Goddamn it! Hey, you didn't have to scare us like that. We thought you was the law. When'd you have a chance to think that, seein' as you were dead asleep a second ago! You were supposed to meet me down at the corner! Now we runnin' way behind. We got it. You got it? You still seem half asleep. We're on it, okay? We know where to be and when. "Watch the race." That's right. The clock on the race. Remember! Yeah, we know! Whee! Don't be late. Yes, sweetie. I'd like to point out that today I am drivin' a v8 stick. It's a nice car. Hopefully you'll have beginner's luck gettin' it into first. Ha! Even in first gear this thing'd still blow away that no-go of yours. Not with you behind the wheel. Oh, ha-ha! How you been, jesco? Ah, hangin' in there. Well, hang in there then. Is he still writin' correctional affairs about the food? No, sir. We took care of that. Good. 'Cause we don't have a food problem here at Monroe, do we? You okay, Joe bang? He chokin'. Someone know the heindrick? Sounds like a wet cough, like phlegm. I don't feel so good. Hey! Shit! Get this damn convict away from me! Get him to the infirmary. Oh, god! Christ. Guard, get some towels. Where are you going? I thought you'd be with me the whole time. I just need to go to the salon and tend to a few clients. I'll be back just in time to comb you out and spray you extra good. Promise? I promise. This'll help rehydrate you, ease the nausea. Lot of you guys been comin' in here like that. It's that business with the water. Say you can't drink it, but it's okay to shower in it? I don't know about all that. Hmph. More barf than we saw after that one Thanksgiving when everything had gone bad. It'll put a girl off of Turkey forever. Nurse. Miss? Miss. Miss? Um-- yeah? A-all these fluids-- i-I'm sorry, nurse, but i-is it possible for me to use the commode? Mmm, I think it's best if you stay put. Don't want you gettin' light-headed and all. Please, ma'am. Don't make me use that thing. A second ago I was a "miss." Now I'm a "ma'am." Hmm. Please, miss nurse? I-i-I'll walk slow. Nurse? I can take him. I'm finished moppin' the floors in here. Okay. But take it slow. He falls and hits his head, that's on you. Yes, ma'am. Yeah, i-I'm gonna need a hand in here. What the fuck? What, you never wondered what it's like to feel white? This is warden burns. I'm declaring a code red. This is not a test. All guards and staff are to go into an immediate code 14 lockdown. I repeat. This is not a drill. What are you doin'? Callin' it in. This could turn into a riot. Put that down. Hang it up. We don't have riots at Monroe. "Pour two into three." Yep. "Pour three into four." What? Run! - What the hell? - Are you down too? Yeah. They're all down here in the mezzanine. We got no plastic working at all. Mellie, what did you do? Well, hello. I guess someone grew up. What's your name again, little Logan? Mellie. Mellie! Mellie, Mellie, Mellie. That rhymes with "smelly." Nice! Shut up. There's clothes for you both in the bag. Clyde, I put somethin' special in there for you. Thanks, Mel. You're goin' pretty fast. We got a lot of road to cover, so yeah, there will be speeding. Gunnin' for a hundred in a neon-blue car that probably ain't even on the market yet? Don't you think you're asking for to be pulled over? Sunday on a holiday weekend. Police department hit by budget cuts. There's only one musker patrollin' the whole highway for the next 40 miles. But that's still one musker. It's been handled. Mellie, I'm about to get naked back here, so no peekin'. I said no peekin'! Would you give me my arm, please? Is it this one? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I'm 100 percent sure i saw what I saw. It's a purple '77 eldorado. Yes, sir. License and registration, ma'am. Excuse me, but I'm on my way to church. I don't have time for this. Step out of the vehicle, ma'am. I am not gonna ask again. This is ridiculous! What did I do? I need you to comply, ma'am. -I need your license, your registration-- -you seen that? Seen what? I need you to focus here. This woman needs containin'. It's a beautiful day for racing in the queen city. Welcome to the Coca-Cola 600. This is nascar's greatest distance and stock car racing's longest night. It'll take 400 laps to complete 600 miles. And, Mike, one of the stories we're all gonna be watching is this guy Dayton white as he returns from racing after a two-year break. Jeff, you certainly know what it's like to get back behind the wheel after some time off. Can we really expect this guy to run up front? That truly is the question, d.W. And yeah, it is extremely tough. So much has changed since the last time he was in the car. The cars have changed, the setups have changed, the competition's changed. And you just can't underestimate the mental focus and endurance needed to get back behind the wheel after this long of a break. Well, focus, endurance and discipline could well describe Dayton's off-track routine. We caught up with him as he prepared for this highly anticipated return to racing. There's a team of people looking after my car, making sure everything is operating at full capacity. So it makes sense that I do that for my physical self, because I'm not just a driver, I'm an athlete. Once I began sourcing really clean software, I noticed a total difference in my clarity and performance. Software is what I call my food, because when you think about it, your body is your operating system. So, when your os may feel like it's working fine, a problem with your software can make your computer not perform properly, even crash. So, eating only clean software makes sure my os is working at an optimum level, and all of this will help me win. Speed up the drops. We'll figure the numbers out later. No energy drink on the market comes in a Magnum, right? But I had ten cases of these babies made just for today. I'm gonna have a little now before the race, some during the race. And come lap 600 and that checkered flag, I think we're all gonna be finishing these puppies off in victory, huh? You got us all in the shot? Me and the car? See, I've got this racing suit and I've got my helmet right here. Just want to make sure that you can see that. Huh? I've been carefully monitoring my glucose levels so I'm really in a sweet spot right now for sustained energy. You're the, uh-- you're the to the Max driver. You gotta drink. Maybe you should think about those four years of back taxes that this drink is paying for. All right. Go on! Go on. Come on! Okay. Let's-- drink up! Come on! Whoo! Drink, drink, drink! Yeah! Okay. I'm gonna need some cash. What for? Supplies for the job. I thought Jimmy and your brothers were bringing everything you needed. Yeah, they did. I just need a little contingency. Well, it looks like my brothers were successful. You thirsty? No. No way. Just one. Come on. No. No. We got time. Come on. Hey, gorgeous. Give me one of those beers, will you? You want a second one for just ten dollars more? Well, of course I do. And, baby doll? Give me two packs of those gummy bears. This is the warden, all right? Now, I got your napkin of demands here, what you want for peaceful surrender and the safe release of my guards you're holding captive. As warden, I can approve buying a copy of a dance with dragons for the prison library to go up on the game of thrones shelf. Yeah! Whoo! The only problem is that the winds of winter and a dream of spring have yet to be published, so those aren't available. No! Well, I can't do anything about what I can't control. That is total bullshit. George r.R. Martin was supposed to deliver the winds of winter to his publisher over two years ago. I know that was the original deadline. That's what it says here. But I'm reading to you from the Wikipedia page. It also says that Martin had a grueling promotion schedule or something, and it's interfered with his writing schedule. He's failed to complete the winds of winter. That don't make no sense. Those two guys who transferred in from federal last month knew about all the new stuff with the hot chick and her dragons. Nah. I'm telling you, i believe those two inmates had that information from watchin' the TV series. Again, I'm readin' to you-- the series has jumped ahead. It's no longer following the books. Let's blow this thing. The pace car is in, and we're ready to race. Mike, it's an honor to be able to start this 600-mile race here on Memorial Day. Boogity, boogity, boogity! Let's go racing for those who made the ultimate sacrifice, boys! D.W.'S talkin' about you. What, Jimmy leave us some sort of door key? Yes. For us to meet up? Something like that. Just remember one thing. Roll. Don't hesitate. Just roll. What are you talkin' about? What's down there? 'Member to roll. What the fuck! Oh, come on. Roll, roll! Now, you didn't tell me about no garbage chute. You're right. Hey, hey. It's about time. Come on. Yeah, blow me. Oh, come on, Joe. We couldn't tell you everything now. Yeah, no, no, no! Screw you both! A-a garbage chute? You know, this is what I get for doin' business with a couple of unlucky logans. Them's my bleach pens? Two bleach pens and a plastic bag, as requested. Whew. Give me the tube. Hold on. That's it? We're supposed to believe that that's the thing? Tube. Now, are you ready? No. No, hold on. That's it? That's a plastic bag, bleach pens, fake salt and gummy bears. That's our bomb? Don't call it a bomb. Now, how many yards away is the vault? About 20 yards. I don't know. Maybe 30. Is it 20 or is it 30? We are dealin' with science here. I guess when I saw that gummy bears is our secret ingredient to our Bo-- our explosive device, that I wasn't thinkin' about science! No, you said yourself, we couldn't bring in normal explosives 'cause of the security. Now, to make our bang, we need potassium chlorate. Bleach pens is pure sodium hypochlorite. Combined with the potassium chloride in the salt substitute, we have created an equal exchange of ions. Sugar plus potassium chlorate yields... Two gases and... A solid. Now, you throw in some heat, you get energy. Energy means light, explosion or, as I like to call it... The Joe bang. What? You thought I was gonna use a stick of dynamite or somethin'? Well... Yeah, I kinda did. Yeah, me too. I just figured you'd use a lot to blow through the thick steel walls. We don't need to blow through the wall. Them tubes in the venting system is our in. So, gentlemen, as I said... Are you ready? Oh, shit. Ah, it's coming back! Don't move. I'm not. And don't breathe. I'm not. What are you doing? What are y-- oh, i-- now I see what the problem is. I twisted the bag too many times. Keselowski on the outside. See who else is behind him? He's not gonna give it up that easy though. - Whoa! - You can see the course is pretty loose. Call it in. "E" center. Well, what kind of smoke? Everything looks fine here. We've got no alarms goin' off. What's going on? Concessions says they have smoke comin' out of the pt tube. If there's no fire, why do we have smoke? Let's get a couple guys down there and see what the hell's goin' on. Yes, sir. I'll go east, you go west. Okay. Hey! Hey, it's comin' through! I can hear it! All right. Come on. Come on! Whoo! Come on! Come on! Whoo! Come on, baby! We ain't even made it outta here yet. Come on, Jimmy! Kick that up a notch! Come on! Whoa, whoa, whoa! - Get it in reverse! -Take it easy! Oh, god. What? What happened? You sucked my arm off! This is your fault, not mine. You told me to turn it up! You don't even know how to operate a goddamn machine! You said put it in reverse! You sucked his arm off! Your fault. Your fault. Hold on. It's in there. Is it all the way in? It didn't get stuck in the tube or nothin'? I gotta get in there and get it. Jimmy, help me get the hose off. Clyde, come on. Come on now. Technically, it's not your arm. Talk to him, will you? Your arm you lost over in Iraq. That thing in there's just a piece of plastic. Your arm can't be replaced, is what I'm tryin' to-- your arm can't be replaced, but the piece of plastic that you use as an arm, that can be replaced. Clyde, Clyde. Come on. Come on. Clyde! Now, there's a lot more money we can get out of there. We gotta finish this. Come on. - You're with them? - Of course he's with us. - This whole thing was his idea. - Yeah. Except he probably don't want to say that out loud, 'cause he knows you gettin' your arm blowed off in Iraq was all his fault. Everybody knows you never would've gone and joined up to fight if your big brother wasn't a football star. That's true. Yeah. He was gonna be hot shit. He was gonna play for the NFL. And nobody around here ever done anythin' like that. You were gonna be just another white trash coal miner. The Logan family curse. Shut up! You two are idiots. Hey. We're value added to this robbery. Oh. And if anyone has a right to be pullin' an attitude here, it's us. Yeah. Oh, the bang brothers don't like the job, hmm? You got a problem with it? Yeah. You changed the date, moved everythin' around. This whole job changed "dramastically." We had to change the date. -You knew the terms for our participatin'. -Mm-hmm. We needed a moral reason to pull this job with you now. We was fine with you wantin' to get back at that store for messin' with your hot sister. Yeah. But you did a whole 360 on everything when you moved up the date. And nascar ain't done nothin' to nobody. Nascar's a beautiful thing. Nascar's like America! So it's like you're makin' us hurt America. So movin' up that date was a "vagrant fliolation" of our morality clause. I'll show you a vagrant violation! Joe, Joe, get him! Hey, it's all good. It's all good. Shut the-- you know, we need to finish this. Now, you-- you go talk to your brother, all right? Hold on. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, man. Hey. I'm your brother, all right? I'm always with you. I'll buy you 20 new arms. You'll have a hundred... Soon as we're done. But we gotta get you back before anybody notices. All right? So let's finish this. Okay? They'll find it, and the guards'll be banging on my cell by breakfast. No, they ain't, 'cause I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it, i promise you. I swear. Am I clear? Don't let these clowns get in your head. We all know you want to finish first, but first you gotta finish. I'm getting a lot of dirty air. I got a hole. I can push through. Hold back. It's too tight. You're gettin' boxed. - Whoa. I'm seeing spots. - You're drifting up. My os-- I think it's crashing. You're gonna bang it! What have you got? I got nothin'. Let's try "b" level. All right. Hold up! Stop. Where you goin'? Garbage run. You two smell any smoke from down there? Uh... no, 'cause we both-- we both lost our sense of smells when we was little, because of the, uh... The Scarlet fever. Yeah. Both of us could be on fire and not even know it. Get that thing outta here. Okay. Thank you very much. Okay. All right. Something ain't right. Whoa, whoa. What's that? Hey, your brothers should be back by now. Why don't you go check on 'em? You know there's no smokin' on cms property. Oh, that's right. That's probably why they put an ashtray in here. You still got to put that out and get back to work. Man, it's a three-quarter mile walk to get outside. I said, break time's over, smokey. They call 'em 20 for a reason. I got four minutes to go on my 20. Are you pushin' "open"? It doesn't say "open." Okay? It says "start," but it won't open. Well, stop it. What? Stop it! I thought we wanted it to start. We do, but it needs to stop. So, not start? We need it to start, but we have to stop it so I can figure out why it won't open. Oh, shit. Hey, hey, hey. Do you smell any smoke? Smoke? No. All I smell is them racin' fumes. All right. Thanks. Go ahead. Okay. Shit. Three, two-- wait, wait. Hold on. We goin' on one, or are we goin' on go? Uh... three. No, we're going on go. Three, two-- hold on, hold on! You're gonna rip it right off the track! The chain's jammed. Oh. All right. Try it now. Come on. Let's go. Ah. Let's go! Come on. We gotta get you back. Hey, get-- get down! I said I'd get it! Come on. Let's go! You'll get it? I'll get it, I swear. Come on. You gots to go. Let's go, big boy. Come on. Go, go, go. Hey! You can't just walk away from me. I own your ass. Not when I'm behind the wheel, you don't. Your contract says-- my contract says love handle enterprises-- that's you-- understands, acknowledges and agrees that twin darling, inc.-- That's me-- is not a partner, employee or joint venturer with love handle enterprises. Drivers in cars win races, Max. Nobody's rooting for your drink to cross the finish line, so shut your piehole before I shut it for you. Do you know what the words "stop payment" mean? He-- hey! Y-you're that guy! Mellie should've been back by now. Well, aunt Mellie normally does what she says she's gonna do. Let's give her a few more minutes. Hope she doesn't go all Logan and become a total flake like the rest of 'em. Good. All good? Bumpy on the way out, but we're doin' okay. Where'd your arm go? I mean, your hand? Can we haul ass? The cafeteria fire alarm just went off. Warden, we gotta call this in. We don't have fires at Monroe. Sir, we don't know what kind of shape those guards are gonna be in. I mean, they could be dead or-or worse by now. And what do you reckon be worse than dead? Uh... Oh, shit. Call it in. We have a three-alarm fire at the Monroe correctional facility. Please respond immediately. They report a fire in the cafeteria. I repeat, a fire in the Monroe correctional facility cafeteria. Do not tell me you've been sprayin' her hair with this! This will turn her hair into an sos pad. I was doin' the best I could! You were late. Oh, like you never brushed your own daughter's hair before. I wish you all wouldn't fight. You're makin' me more nervous. You're right, baby doll. Is daddy here? I didn't see him. I was rushing. Did your daddy say he was coming? Yeah. Why? I don't know. I just thought he was working. What, that job at the speedway? I heard he got fired. Funny how he never brought that up. You look like a Princess. You're gonna do great. I thought maybe you'd run off. And leave you, beautiful? Never. You know, we got caught on the other side of that there gate when the lockdown happened. It was terrifyin'. For her talent, Sadie Logan will perform "umbrella" by Rihanna. I picked this song 'cause it's my daddy's favorite. Where you gonna put it? I can make a trophy case. You're gonna need to now. You've got so many. All right. Give me a hug. I love you, daddy. I love you too. Let me see the gun show. All right. All right, Jo. I love you. Love you. See you, Jimmy. See you back at home, baby. All right. What the heck? What the hell happened to my car? Are you kidding me? Hey, partner. Where you headed to? All the way through? Mind if I catch a ride with you? You sure, man? I ain't puttin' you out or nothin'? Authorities have confirmed they have recovered the money stolen from the Charlotte motor speedway, in what some are calling the "hillbilly heist." Sources say an anonymous caller led police to this gas station where they discovered an abandoned truck containing bags of cash that have been positively linked to the robbery over the weekend. The truck was reported stolen last week. Our forensic team is at work on the scene. And we're certain they'll find-- why go to all the trouble to rob a place if you don't have the guts to keep the money? He must've chickened out. We are joined now by a resident daredevil at little victories animal shelter. This is Josh morrison. Thank you for joining us today. Right. He comes on about-- he used to come on a lot on midday for pet of the week. So he's joining us to talk about a new adoption challenge at the shelter for little victories. We do have to talk about the-- well, we brought everyone in at 6:00 this morning. Couldn't work all weekend, you know, 'cause of the race, obviously. But everything was just like we left it on Friday. How many men do you have working today? Oh, 40 or so. I guess we're on a bit of a tight deadline 'cause we're trying to get everything shored up since the season's startin'. We'll be wrappin' outta here this week. I'm gonna need prints from all your guys. Well, sure, but, well, all the workers have to wear protective gloves at all times. That's-- well, that's a union rule. Union rule. Yep. Great. Agent Grayson. Local pd got a call from someone claiming to be an eyewitness. Swears they saw the robbers, can definitely identify 'em. Yeah, I saw 'em. I know who they are too. Why don't we start at the beginning? Where'd you see them? In a tunnel. Leading from the track back to the shower room and the lockers. There's a saying in our business. "Set it up and shut up." So I'll shut up. What the hell was that? You call yourself a driver? What, you never been boxed in a turn before? I told you I didn't want to drink your poison. I thought I was having a heart attack! That poison is saving your-- can't one of you hit "mute"? I'm tryin' to give my statement to the FBI here. You drink what I say. You drive how I say. There was two of 'em. Right? Now, one of 'em was a bartender from that place out off of i-17. Got one arm. The guy with him, i don't know who he was. And you know the bartender from? A while back, i got in a fight at the bar. With the bartender? No, with his brother. -Did the brother have one arm or two? -The brother's got both. And the fight was about? I can't remember. And you won that fight at the bar? Hell, yeah, I won it. So you saw the bartender with one arm and an unknown male companion in the tunnel during the race? And they were? Well, they was just walkin', but it was suspicious-like. Suspicious how? Well, they shouldn't have been down there. That was suspicious. But you didn't think to mention this encounter to anyone until you saw the news on the television about the robbery? The docs had to set my nose, all right? I've been in recovery. So all of these injuries are the result of your latest fight with the brothers? Bartender brother. He's the one that punched me in the tunnel. -The one-armed-- -yeah, look, just ask my driver, Dayton white. Right? He was with me when all this went down. He'll back up my story. Yes, when you called in your tip, you mentioned that he'd be able to corroborate your story. We spoke with Dayton white earlier today. He stated he was never in the tunnel with you during the race. Never saw two suspicious men. And has no idea what you're talking about. Did you talk to him? I think he knows better. I stopped by the trailer when he wasn't home. I think I got most of your stuff. You sure love your books. And there's some mail there too. Visitation logs indicate that Jimmy Logan, an employee recently fired from the speedway, came with his brother Clyde to see Joseph bang here on April 15. Hmm. They returned two days later for a second visit. Now, we only have video of this meeting, no audio, so we have no idea what they discussed. But the following week, Clyde Logan drives through the window of a corner save mart and ends up being sentenced to 90 days here. You seem to have a lot of information in your FBI folders there. -And so? -You don't think that's an incredible coincidence? No. Not really. I mean, if you're askin' me, am I shocked that the criminals locked up in here are friends with other criminals, no, I'm not. So Clyde Logan and Joseph bang were incarcerated here, at your prison, on may the 28th, and you had no problems, no issues of any kind at your prison on that day. Is that right? No. Uh-uh. We didn't have any problems. Right. 'Cause Monroe county fire department said that they dispatched multiple units around 8:30 P.M. that night. There was a small kitchen fire, but that's not a problem in the context of this prison. I mean, it's standard operating procedure for them to dispatch multiple units any time there's a fire at the prison. That was no big deal. It was out within a few minutes. You certain that these two inmates couldn't have broken out of here, robbed the speedway and then broken back into your prison without you knowing about it? Wow! No. Agent Grayson, I've been warden here for nine years, and I can tell you this. We don't have an escape problem at Monroe. What do you think of the robbery? Well, I heard that they're callin' it "ocean's 7-Eleven" 'cause they found that truck with the money behind a convenience store. Uh, I heard that they're callin' 'em the "redneck robbers" because they think the guys who did this whole thing are from around here. I hope they never catch 'em. Where does this investigation stand? Let me tell you this. Even though the crime was committed in Charlotte, the fact that the money was recovered here makes it a very serious matter. We're involving all of our local, state and federal officials. You have a problem with the food here, inmate? No, no, no, warden. N-no problem. Reckon your stomach's not been botherin' you lately? No, warden, no. Th-thank you for asking me. You best be cleaning up your mess. Now. Sure. Huh? What'd you say to me, inmate? Go on. Thank you. What about the disgruntled fired employee? The brother of the one-armed bartender? Jimmy Logan was fired six weeks before the robbery. His brother, Clyde, is the one-armed bartender Max chilblain claims to have seen during the race. But we know there's no way Clyde Logan could have been in that underground walkway because he was serving time at the Monroe correctional facility on the day of the robbery. Hmm. I hate airtight alibis. Where did Jimmy Logan's cell phone tell us he was during the race? Jimmy Logan doesn't have a cell phone. Shut off three months ago for nonpayment. He also drives a 1983 Ford f150, so no GPS. No e-mail. No social media. We did get a few hits on his name on other social media accounts, which place him at valley view high school during the race. His daughter was competing in the miss pretty West Virginia pageant. And apparently, she won. How's your brother? I wouldn't know. You haven't talked to him? Nope. Not once? Nope. Well, seems strange-- you know, you two being so close and all. Last I heard, he moved south to be closer to his daughter. How far south? Lynchburg. Guess his ex moved down there when her husband opened a new car lot. Well... If you do speak to him... Tell him I'd like to talk to him. I doubt I'll be talkin' to him. He never told you why he gave all that money back? On the house. Generous. You've had your six months, and you made no arrests. Meanwhile, the locals talk about these thieves like they're some type of hee haw heroes. So, we would like to move forward and put this entire incident in our rearview mirror, if you will. Okay. Thank you again. I do have one last question. Sure. You just said you received a payout from your insurance company for the money that wasn't recovered. Yes, that's right. Hmm. We were here with forensic accountants for weeks, poring over the register logs and receipts. No one here was ever able to give us an exact accounting of how much money was actually stolen. Right. Uh-- well, it's very complex-- the algorithm and whatnot. Yeah, we heard about the complicated algorithms. So how'd you arrive at the number to ask for if you didn't know how much was stolen? I'm not an accountant, so, uh, I wasn't in there for those discussions. But as far as all of us here at Charlotte motor speedway are concerned, the matter has been resolved to our satisfaction. Assholes. You seriously want to trust these two with our lives? They gonna know what we want 'em to know. - All right. -But we can get two more. What's rule eight? Don't get greedy. All right. You're done here. Come on, you gotta get the car anyway. Go. Yeah, you're right there. You're right on top of it. Just dig in there. Mr. naaman? Came in through the donation box. It's heavy, but don't get excited. It's gotta be from a crazy, written with crayon. Know what I mean? Hey. Hi. New job? Yeah. It's just seasonal. I hope they keep me on though. It's nice being close to home. You want to come in? No, no. I'll just wait. Daddy! Hey! What's up, man? Oh! Body slam! What time you want her back? Whatever time works best for you. We're just around. All right. Don't wait up! All right. So I was thinkin'... Putt-putt golf. They got those new go-karts down there. Sure. As long as we get gelato after. Gelato? Yeah. Ain't that like fancy ice cream? I thought you couldn't do that, 'cause of your pageants. Oh, I'm over all that stuff. I've been really getting into the culinary arts lately. The culi-what? Cooking! I've been watching a lot of top chef. Really? Yeah, I've been learnin' a lot. Like how gelato isn't just fancy ice cream. It's made at a slower churn rate than ice cream, so less air gets mixed in. That's why it has such a silky texture. A "churn rate," huh? Yeah, a churn rate. How fast the paddle in the machine moves. Sometimes the paddle is called a dasher. Oh, yeah, no, i know what that is. A dasher. It's kinda like dasher and dancer and ViXen. No, daddy! I know exactly what that is. No, it's not that. I didn't know that reindeer made ice cream. They don't! You funny. You funny. You funny-lookin'. You never told me how you knew the coast was clear and we could go get the money. Well, you know how that phone company give you about 60 days to pay that phone bill? Yeah. Well, you go one day over, and they shut your phone off. So? I ain't paid the bill out at the trailer in, like, six months. So? Figured long as they was tappin' my phone, they'd keep it on. About a week ago, it finally went dead. That's pretty good. Yeah. You came up with that on your own? Yes, I did. Well, that's a lot of thinkin' for a Logan. Hey, Jimmy. Hey. What you doin'? A bit much? No shit it was. So, Mellie. What do you make of all this Logan curse stuff? Well, that's Clyde's thing. I never really gave it that much thought. What about you? You think we're destined to repeat the past? No. I'm all about the future. Oh, shoot. Sorry about that. Another especial for the lady? Yeah. I missed out on the toast. You know they say it's bad luck to toast with an empty glass. They do say that. It's also bad luck to toast alone, so why don't you pour yourself one on me so you don't jinx me. I would've remembered if you'd ever been in the bar before. Are you just passin' through? Yeah. Passing through. But I'm hopin' to stay a while. Well, then... Here's to stayin' a while. |
