Jade, I need you to
start on the bathrooms.

Joslyn, can you please take out
all the eggs, batter, patties

and McMuffins out of the freezer, okay?

I'll help you once I turn everything on.

Good morning, team.

No, no, no. Don't be scared.

You just do what I say,
no one gets hurt, okay?

No, no, look. Pointing it down.

Okay, now, I'm going to say a polite
and cheerful "Good morning,"

and then you guys say it back.

Good morning.

No... Duane, after I say it.

That's how that works. Okay?

Now, good morning, team.

Good morning.

Yes. Perfect.

I say what to do
and you guys just do it. Okay.

I want you to get your coats back on.

Duane, grab your coat.

Grab your coat.

I don't have one, sir.

You don't have a coat?

How do you not have a coat?

I just forgot.

Well, you're just gonna
have to be a little cold today.

All right, let's go.

After you. Ladies first.

Now, listen to me,
you guys aren't going to die in here.

As soon as I'm out of here,
I'm gonna call the cops

and they're gonna let you guys out.

Probably get the day off.

No, don't, don't.

Do not look at me like that.

Duane, stop it.

'Cause this is your fault.

It's cold.

Are you serious?

Dang it.

I don't know what kind ofjerk
doesn't bring his own coat to work.

Okay? Happy now?

My ears are cold.

This is the part of the story
where I hope you're wondering

how a nice guy like me
ends up becoming a criminal.

Hello?

This thing on?

Hello?

Shit!

Come on, Duane.

Good morning. Welcome to McDonald's.
I'm gonna put you on a brief hold.

What the hell, Duane?

I can't blame my parents.

I had a good childhood.

I was just never good at school
or behaving.

But I was good at certain things
that were really valuable to the military.

But after my discharge,
I didn't know where I fit or what to do...

or how to give my kids the things
that other kids had.

So, I made some bad choices
that took away some other choices.

And those bad choices
all started two years ago

at my daughter's sixth birthday party.

All right, you got to make a big ol' wish.

Okay.

One more. Did you make a wish?

What'd you wish for?

A bike.

Bike?

I don't know if a bike is exactly going
to fit into this box, but... rip it open.

What do you think?

It's cool, right? It's my old Erector Set.

Let's open it up.

There's 200 pieces in here.

You got engines, you got gears,
pulleys, wheels, lights, switches.

We can make almost anything
that we want with this thing.

Anything that you can dream,
we can make it, okay?

Me and you. What do you say?

Can you make a bike with it?

Okay.

Yeah. Yeah.

I can't believe the dude I knew
from the 82nd can't even afford a bike.

Well, tell me how you're doing so well.

Well, let me see. Just this week,
I got two Japanese dudes' passports.

That's 5K a pop.

Five grand for fake passports?

-No, for real passports.
-Man, can I help you with that?

Hell, motherfucking no, you can't.
You can't help me with shit.

You crazy, man?

You ain't helping me do a goddamn thing.
I don't need your help.

Plus, we already know that doing things
the right way is not your superpower.

Whatever. That's...

Okay, then tell me
what my superpower is then?

Enlighten me, Buddha.

What's the flow rate on that hose?

Twelve gallons per minute.

How many houses is on this street?

Twenty-eight.

And out of those,
how many got chimneys? Garages?

How many of 'em use a heat pump
instead of a traditional AC?

You want me to sell HVAC systems
or something? Just--

No, no, man, I'm trying to make a point.

Then make the point, please.

Observation. Details.

You see shit people don't see. You got
like a little X-ray vision going on.

What, you think they dropped you off
in Central America

'cause you a good shot?
Is that what you think?

No, they dropped you
because of what you see.

Shit, if I had a brain like yours,
I'd be running the whole goddamn world.

You know, you the smartest
dumb nigga I ever known.

That shit crazy.

You can stop filling up that pool now.

Ain't nobody gonna get in there.
That shit cold as hell.

So, Mama is probably gonna want to know
how the party was

and, yeah, I think we did our best.
What do you think?

Maybe we don't mention the pool.

It's the trying that counts, right?

Mommy!

Hi, birthday girl. How was your party?

Everybody did their best.

Are you ready for your other party?

Hi.

How are you?

Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

Real quick, real quick.

I know the last few months
haven't been easy,

and we don't have the things
that we actually need,

and that's my fault and I own that.

Okay? I do, but I think
I have it figured out now.

Just got to use my superpower

-and put my brain on what I want--
-Your superpower?

-Your superpower?
-Yes.

-I can't do this, Jeff. I'm done. Goodbye.
-No. Come on, please don't do this.

All right, banana head.

Say goodbye.

Love you!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

I didn't blame her for laughing at me.

For thinking I was a joke.

But there were things
that she didn't know about me.

Things that weren't so funny.

Steve knew what I was capable of.

I do see things that
other people don't see.

Like right now, I see that kid
climbing up that ladder...

and I know that under that flimsy roof
is a machine

that turns ground beef and potatoes
into money.

With the same dining room,

the same deep fryers
with blinking red timer lights...

the same shake machine
with the same two flavors...

and the same safe
full of weekend corporate burger money

that no one was going to miss.

They empty that safe
at the exact same time

on Monday morning
at every single McDonald's.

Hi. Welcome to McDonald's.

-Do you know what you want?
-Huh?

Yéah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah.
Yeah, I figured it out. Thank you.

There are over 10,000 almost identical
McDonald's across the United States.

The question was: "How many do you need
to rob to get a real house...

buy your kids nice things
and win your family back?"

Turns out... the answer is 45.

The Roofman has struck again,

cutting a hole through the roof
of this McDonald's

at the corner of Madison and Jewell
in Fayetteville.

As you can imagine,
this was a terrifying experience.

He came in, threw us in the freezer
and gave me his coat.

—He gave you his coat?
-Yes.

Yeah, he didn't want me to be cold.
He was actually really nice.

Police believe this is the same suspect

who has been terrorizing
our local community,

with 45 incidents this past year alone.

We have a sketch of the Roofman.
He is always wearing a mask.

He '3 described as 6 '2 ",
with an athletic build.

—What'?
-The Roofman has also struck

Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken,

-and Blockbuster Video.
-Nice TV you got here, Jeff.

Big. How you afford something like that?

We got 15 hungry kids out there

that are losing their minds for cake.
We gotta go.

...all of these brazen incidents...

-We got to go.
-Hold on, hold on.

Look, we got to go right now. If she
doesn't get her presents right now...

I want to know what's going on
with the damn suspect.

-...she's gonna lose her mind.
-Can I see?

-Why you turning it off?
-Reporting live. ..

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Don't, don't, don't--

Come on. Let's go.

Goddamn, man.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, bandida

-Happy birthday to you
-You.

Let's go!

All right. Big breath, big wish.
Here we go.

All right, we're gonna do this one
first this year.

Big things in little boxes.

-What is this?
-A garage door opener?

Why did you give me a garage door opener?

I don't know. I just couldn't think of
anywhere else to put

the saber-toothed tiger, so...

I don't know.
I couldn't put it in the kitchen, could I?

So, where is it?

You're the best daddy
in the whole entire world!

Go ahead, get on it.

I love it!

-How you guys doing?
-We're looking for Jeffrey Manchester.

This about the registration?
Yeah, I got it right here. One second.

Stop! You're under arrest!

Hey, hey.

Go, go, go! Get him down!

Stop!

We got you surrounded!

Freeze! Why are you running?

Yes! Go, go, go! Get him down!

Mr. Manchester, please rise.

The State has proved
beyond the defined burden

that you committed the crime of robbery
with a dangerous weapon.

I'd like to take in consideration

your service to this country
in the armed forces...

and the impact of your children
losing a father.

Now I know you got everyone fooled
thinking you're a nice guy,

but I know you're a menace.

Although you're only being tried
for one robbery,

we know you've done many more.

And so the prosecution has requested
that I issue a single count

of felony kidnapping for each victim
you looked in the freezer.

Let the record state
that on the 4th of February, 2004,

you are hereby sentenced to 180 months
for each of the three victims...

for a total of 540 months, or 45 years,

in the North Carolina
Department of Corrections.

Mr. Sheriff, he is in your custody.

This concludes this case.

I'm sorry.

Hi, Daddy. I really missed you.

Miss you, too. I miss you a lot.

Hey, did you get the letter
that I drew the big of house on it?

No.

Well, maybe it hasn't arrived. Ask Mama.

Mom says she'll save the letters.
When I'm old enough, I can read them.

No, no. That is not-- that is not right.

These letters are for--
they're for right now.

Tell him we're cutting the cord.

They said we have to cut the cord.

No, we're not cutting the cord.
Who said that?

We went to a meeting for families
with dads in prison.

Okay, well, that's good.
That's really good. What'd they say there?

That it isn't my fault, it's your fault.

And to let you go all the way,

'cause you'll never come home,
even if you say you will.

Look, that last part is not--
that is very, very wrong.

-You have 60 seconds remaining.
-Hey,

can you put your mom on for a second?

-He wants to talk to you.
-No.

Tell him that you have to hang up.
Gary's gonna help you with your homework.

She doesn't want to talk to you.

She said I have to get off
and do homework.

Gary is going to help me.

Gary? Who's Gary?

Mom's friend.

Huh. Mom's got a new friend named Gary?
That's fun.

-It's okay, sweetheart, you can tell him.
-Okay, I'm gonna call you tomorrow

at the same time I always do, all right?

They said no more calls.

No, no. Who said that? No.

-Hang up the phone.
-It's okay, Becky, you can hang up now.

Hang up? Is that Gary?
Put him on the phone right now.

Hang up. Hang up.

Put Gary or your mom on the phone
right now, Becky, okay?

-I have to hang up.
—Hey, listen to me, I'm coming home.

Tell your brothers I'm coming home.

And we don't say goodbye,
'cause goodbye means going away...

and going away means forgetting,
and we're--

Hello? Hello?

Becky?

Why is you still thinking about them?
You got to let that go.

Ain't no getting out of here.

Get that idea out your head.

Every prisoner wants the same thing:
To get out of prison.

And they think that the way out
is through a wall or over a fence...

but the guards got that covered.

The way out of prison
is through the people.

Prison was just another building
full of systems and routines.

Keep to the routine
and the guards won't get suspicious.

If you're nice enough, if you're useful...

they forget you're in there for a reason.

And when they stop watching you...

you can start watching them.

You smell that?
Smells like you're leaking.

-How 'bout checking it out for me?
-Yes, sir.

See if you see anything.

Yeah.

Doesn't look too bad just yet.

I don't know, it'll probably get you
back to where you're going.

-All right. Well, come on out of there.
-All right.

Yeah, you better tell
your maintenance guy,

you might need a new gasket.

-I appreciate it, man.
-Yes, sir.

-Have a good one.
-You, too.

Yeah, straight back.

-Two boxes. Two benches.
-Yep. Yes, sir.

All right.

Shut her down.

-She's all yours, Mr. Cummings.
-Thank you, bud.

-Hey, smells like you fixed it.
-Yeah, good catch.

-All right, drive safe.
-All right, have a good one.

Jesus!

Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

Yeah.

Yeah, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal.

-Hello?
-Steve? It's me.

Jeff. Jeff, what the fuck
are you doing calling me, man?

You all over the goddamn news and shit.

Look, I gotta get out of the country.
I'm thinking, like, Brazil or Venezuela.

Somewhere with a beach and no extradition.

Man, you sound fucking crazy.

I know. I'm sorry.

Don't do no stupid shit like
go see your family. Hide. All right?

-Okay. Okay. I'll hide.
-Don't call back for another month.

All right, I'm-a call you in a month.

And don't call my motherfucking phone
again, you got it? A'ight.

Steve?

-You.
-A lot.

A lot? We have... Yep. What do you want?

-A monkey.
-A monkey?

-Wait a minute.
-Turt|e.

Turtle. And what do you want?

-Candy.
-Candy?

We got a lot of candy.

Sir, we're closing here
in ten minutes! Sir?

Yep, no problem.

Gotcha.

Zero, three, six, five, nine, eight, two.

Bathroom's clear.

Attention, Toys "R" Us customers.

Our store will be closing in five minutes.

If you are not a toy or an employee,

please bring your purchases
up to the front.

Whether you are a kid
or a parent or an uncle

or a friend making a dream come true...

it is time to make your choices
and meet us at the register up front.

If you can't decide tonight, don't worry.

We promise you we will be here tomorrow...

just as long as you promise us
to never grow up.

Jeffrey Manchester,
also known as The Roofman,

escaped from Brown Creek Prison
earlier today.

Tonight, he's still out there, somewhere.

Authorities discovered Manchester,
who was sewing 45 years

for armed robbery and kidnapping...

was missing this afternoon
during a routine head count.

Correction officers do not know
the method or exact time

-of Manchester's escape.. .
-They still don't know how I got out.

...but believe he may still be
in the Charlotte area.

-No, no, no. I'm long gone.
-We believe he fled

sometime between 12:00
and 4:00 this afternoon.

He's a very smart individual.
Super intelligent. Probably genius level.

But he's also an absolute idiot.

We believe that
the suspect could be armed,

and he has a history of violent behavior.

-What?
-Police are asking...

if you see someone who
looks like Manchester,

please call authorities
and do not confront him.

Okay.

All right.

Password:
one, two, three, four, five, six.

Yeah.

Most guys, when they escape,
get caught in the first few hours.

They go as far as they can,
as fast as they can.

And that never works.

The trick is to stop.

Find a place no one will look.

Sometimes, the best hiding places
are in plain sight.

A place where people
are too preoccupied to see you.

So I kept quiet as a mouse.

But not at night. I owned the night.

The manhunt for The Roofman
enters its third day.

People have short attention spans.

After a while, they get bored.

I figured I had to be quiet
for about a month, give or take.

Still no leads from police
on the whereabouts

of escaped convict Jeffrey Manchester,

as the manhunt enters its eighth day.

One time, when I was in the 82nd,

I spent 30 days in the woods
surviving off of rainwater and grubs.

Your body doesn't need much to keep going.

It's your brain
that you have to take care of.

If you can make your brain
imagine a better place,

it can get you through anything.

Just pick any place but where you are.

Like a beach on an ocean.

A place where your kids can visit
after everyone else forgets you.

Nearly two weeks
since Jeffrey Manchester escaped

from Brown Creek Penitentiary.

Police have set up roadblocks,

concerned Manchester
may still be in the area.

Sergeant, I'm with Channel 6 News.
Jeffrey Manchester's still missing.

Do you think he could be in Charlotte?

He might've kept moving,

but we're not gonna give up
on the possibility...

that he still might be hiding out here
in Mecklenburg County.

And when he tries to run, we'll be ready.

Good luck.

—One quick question.
-Yeah, yeah.

Okay, I just wanted to talk to you
about my hours.

I need every other weekend off.

I'm confused. First you ask me for a job,
and now you're asking me for time off.

Well, you know, I'm a team player...

-Yeah.
-...but I'm also a mom.

I know.

-Okay, well...
-I do.

You reminded me.

I got a divorce six months ago, so...

it's really hard for me to
balance everything right now,

with work and my girls...

-and my ex. The custody situation is...
-Come on...

They have, you know,
one weekend him, one weekend me.

I don't want to bore you
with my personal problems.

Good, good. 'Cause I don't want
to be bored by your personal problems.

If this is a Toys "R" Us problem,
then I'm interested.

But personal problems
belong on personal time.

Thank you, Leigh.
I gotta get back to payroll.

Work, work, work, work, work, work, work.

-Good to see you.
-What a dick.

—Thanks, Mitch.
—Okay.

Unbelievable.

Yeah, you're an unbelievable dick.

I know you're a mom,
you mentioned it before.

Mom card. Unbelievable.

Is that an S?

Dollar sign, U, C, C, E...

dollar sign, dollar sign.

That's the dumbest password
I've ever... I've ever heard of.

Success.

We found Leigh.

Saturday.

Goodbye.

You have the day off now.

-Voi|é.
-The news starts now.

More than 30,000 folks
are expected to crowd into town.

...came up with the idea "Babe Wash."
And the bikinis do bring in the business.

The biggest celebrations of the 4th
take place in the skies right behind me.

People get bored with last week's news.

Pretty soon, they can't even remember
why they know your face.

Even cops lose interest,
unless you really piss 'em off.

Everybody forgets you eventually.

Except people who really love you.

I couldn't get to the people
who love me now without hurting them.

The only place I might ever see them again
was somewhere else and some other time.

The first step was getting out of here

to get there.

Hello?

Hi.

May I speak to Steve please?

Sorry, who is this?

This is a friend.
Well, I mean, this is Oliver, his cousin.

I was doing this little...

little cross-country trip,
and he was expecting me.

I was supposed to visit.

He didn't say anything about a visit.
And I didn't know he had a cousin.

He must've forgotten to
mention it, I guess.

Who am I... who am I speaking with?

Oh, I'm his girlfriend.

What is this about, though? 'Cause
I'm in the middle of something, so...

His girl... Okay, great.
Could I talk to Steve now?

He isn't here.

Okay, well, should I call back in,
like, an hour or so?

Well, he's not gonna be back
until December 1st.

Where does anyone go till December?

He's in Afghanistan.

He's not in Afghanistan. We got back
two years ago from Afghanistan.

Well, he took a six-month contract. But...

he asked me to take messages for him.

Is there something that you want me
to tell him if he calls?

Yeah. Tell him that Cousin Oliver

is gonna stay with relatives
in the area until he's back on...

December 1st for
a really important meeting.

Okay, I will tell him that.

And I will see you then, too,
I guess, Cousin Oliver.

Bye.

Hello?

Stop tickling me. Just a sec. Hello?

Gary is crazy. Gary!

Who is it? Hello?

Gary!

-Hello?
-Gary!

Who is this?

Jeff, is this you?

If you call here again,
I'm gonna call the cops.

Do you hear me?

We've moved on.

And you need to move on, too.

Don't call here anymore.

That tickles.

Oh, boy, that tickles.

Elmo wants to play.

Let's play.

—Oh, boy, that tickles.
-Elmo loves you.

You're Elmo's sweetheart.

- That tickles.
-Let's play. Elmo loves you.

—Oh, boy, that tickles.
-Stop Elmo.

Let's play.

Elmo loves you.

-Hey, Leigh.
-Oti-Oti-Otis.

-Yeah. Hey, Mitch.
-Hey.

You're just the man I want to see.

Cool.

You...

You like Peanut M&M's, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

'Cause we're missing a lot of
Peanut M&M's. You have any idea why?

No.

—What's wrong? Cause you're nervous.
-Nothing's wrong. I'm not.

No.

-No?
-No. Not happening.

You can't talk to him like that.

Okay. You know, we are missing
half a dozen boxes out there.

And I just thought...
they've got to be hiding somewhere.

—I am so sorry.
—Oh, God.

-He cannot talk to you that way.
—I'm the bad guy now.

Hey, you gotta stick up for yourself,
okay? Or he's just gonna get worse.

I'm not big on conflict, 30... Yeah.

Okay, well, we'll work on that.

Cool.

Listen, Mitch,
you really hurt Otis's feelings.

And I think you should apologize.

-I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry, baby.

-Well, that's a good start.
—Okay.

You know,
people respect kindness in a leader.

With that in mind,
I wanted to invite you to my church.

Crossroads Church.

It's just across the interstate.
Have you been?

Not very churchy.

Okay, well, I'm in charge of the toy drive
there, and it got me thinking...

here I am, working in a toy store,
of all places...

and you haven't even donated
one toy to my toy drive.

Well, we sell toys here,
we don't give 'em away.

Okay. What about all those returned toys?
Perfectly good ones that we can't sell.

We run a business here, Leigh.

Okay. Well, you can still come.
You know, all people are welcome.

Even if they're mean
or aren't quite ready yet.

So you can come, bring a big bag of toys,
or not. You'll be welcome.

But bring the toys
and you could be a good guy for once.

Don't you want to be a good guy?

Come on, Mitch, be a good guy!

Okay.

Is that garbage?

Do you want me to put that
in the garbage for you?

It's just toys for the...
I heard there was a toy drive.

Well, it's right this way.

I'll just leave 'em here. It's okay.

I'm not gonna walk all the way
down there in these heels.

-It's very nice of you.
-Here you go.

Thank you.

Oh, it's too heavy for me.

Got to bring it on in there.

-Come on, I'll show you where the toys go.
-Where do you want me to put 'em?

You can bring 'em right in here.

Service is about to begin.

Anyone that feels alone out there?

Just come on down here.

'Cause you belong here.
We're all sinners here,

which is why I ask my wife sometimes
to sing this tune.

In times of despair

I think about the good things
That you've done

Ooh, and though you're not there

I sometimes ask myself
Is anyone?

Yeah

It's so hard being human

With only troubles in sight

But somehow I know

Everything's gonna work out all right

Hey, yeah, but somehow I know

Everything's gonna work out all right

Hey, yeah, but somehow I know

Everything's gonna work out all right

Hallelujah.

Wow, somebody is very hungry, huh?

-Big appetite there, huh?
-Sorry.

-Please.
-I haven't had food this good in so long.

No, that's great. Big food for a big guy.

-Yeah.
-Yeah?

Now, you can't sneak out of here
without saying hello

to the pastor and his wife.
It's against the rules.

No, I would never, I would never.

I'm Eileen.

John Zorin. John Zorin.

Yeah, I haven't seen you
around the area before.

I noticed you, obviously,
in the row there.

Where are you from? You new to the area?

Yeah, I'm...

I'm just new to this place and,
really, everything. You know, it's...

All of this is really just, you know...
Everything here is just new for me.

I'm down from New York City.

That's a walking man's town.

I mean, if ever I've done been to one.

-That is a walking man's town.
-That is correct.

I bet you go through a lot
of pair of sneakers, don't you?

-Right? You go through...
-Everyone does, yeah.

Oh, my. You've got
very small feet for a big guy.

No, I actually have large feet.
It's just, I put on the wrong shoes,

and I don't know, I think these are,
like, nines and women's.

And I'm sorry, I would never wear sneakers
to church. I'm really sorry.

You know, I would like
to introduce you to someone.

I'd like to introduce you to
Leigh Wainscott.

She runs the toy drive here.

And I heard you gave
such a generous donation,

I know she'd like to thank you for it.

You know, she looks a bit busy
over there, actually, Eileen.

She's having a serious conversation
with her daughter.

She's having problems
with her, actually, I hear.

Just a quick thank you.

Now?

-Yeah.
-We can.

-I mean, you made such a great donation.
-Okay, yeah, sure.

-Okay, great.
-Yeah, hey, hey. Leigh. Hey, Leigh.

Leigh, hey, Leigh, come,
come say hi to our mystery man.

-Okay.
-Yeah.

This is our all-star Leigh.

She is the backbone of everything
that is good going on in this church.

She does the outreach, she does the meals,
does the toy drive, she...

I really don't know how she does it all,
but she does.

And this is John... Zorin,
Zorin from New York.

New York. That's far from here.

Yeah, a little bit, yeah.

80, John, he made
a very generous toy donation.

That's so kind of you.
It couldn't have come at a better time.

No, I mean, I really like
Christmas and birthdays,

and just gift-giving time.
I mean, I don't know. I just love kids.

You have kids, John?

-We||...
-You have a family, or are you single?

I'm just officially divorced, that's all.

I'm sorry, John.
Not all marriages work out, right?

That is true. But to answer
your question, I do have kids.

I have two little monster boys...

and I got a little girl
that is my best pal, and...

But they're in New York,
and I'm here working.

And what do you...
what do you do for work?

Well, I work for the government,
but I can't exactly talk about it.

It's classified, and all that silliness.

Well, John Zorin from New York.
Our New York spy.

-No! No, no, definitely not that.
-Okay, okay.

Well, can I ask you, can we count on you
to join us next Sunday?

Well, and also this Wednesday.

What's Wednesday?

I run 3 singles dinner,
and this week's gonna be at Red Lobster.

I love a Red Lobster.
I mean, not just the seafood.

Those cheese biscuits... I mean, yeah.
I mean, are you going to be there?

Leigh. Do you think you're gonna join us
for our first single dinner?

Well, I never thought of myself
as being a single,

but, sure, yeah, I'll go.

Yeah, I'll be there.

-Count me in.
-Okay.

-Good to see you.
-Thank you so much.

Thank you for joining us today.
Really appreciate it.

I liked being John
better than I liked being Jeff.

-See you on Wednesday, right?
-Wednesday. Yes, ma'am.

John was a good guy. People liked him.

Leigh seemed to like him, too.

But there was no way a girl like her
was gonna really fall for a guy

in women's running shoes
and a Spider-Man T-shirt.

Also, I really needed to see a dentist.

Living on candy is hard on your teeth.

-Good afternoon. Good, sir, how are you?
-How are you?

Let's see what you give me for these.

How about ten apiece? 300.

Yeah, I'll go $300.

-Okay, let's do that.
-Yeah, deal. Yes, sir.

M.O.D. on number 29.

Fourteen cavities.
That's a lot of cavities for an adult.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I just have a bit,

naturally, I guess,
a bit of a sweet tooth,

and I've had access
to a lot of really good candy.

-Just haven't been able to exactly stop.
-Open your mouth wide, please.

Okay.

Okay, girls. We got a man here.

-In here.
-In here? Seriously?

Wow.

Hello.

Hello, ladies.

Hi. How is everyone?

Okay. I thought this was 3 singles brunch,
not a supermodel brunch.

You could always squeeze in
down here by us.

Well, we wanted to welcome you, John.
Welcome, welcome.

Am I the only guy
that's gonna be here tonight?

Yes, yes.

-Turns out to be so, yes.
-Right, okay.

I hope we're not overwhelming for you.

Oh, no, no, no, I'm actually...
I'm liking it very much.

I love having so many new friends,
especially beautiful friends.

80, John, I understand you work
for the government. What kind of work?

I would love to get into those details,
but I'm undercover, so...

That sounds mysterious.

No, I can promise it's not
that mysterious. It's really quite boring.

I never knew there was
an intelligence unit here in Charlotte.

-Oh, are you law enforcement?
-I'm retired now, but I was.

Wow, that's amazing.

Am I arrested? How does this work?
I don't want to make you upset.

You're embarrassing everyone, Sally.
He did not come here to be interrogated.

No, no, no, I actually really like it.
I feel a lot safer with her here.

But, yeah, there's intelligence
just about in every major city,

and we just don't advertise
that much, yeah.

Well, if he's undercover, why's he at
a singles dinner at Red Lobster?

That's a fair question.

-We||. ..
-That's a fair question.

I can... That is a question
that is not classified.

I am here possibly looking
for the next Ms. John Zorin.

So...

Oh, please. Oh, please.

But, no, see,
but there is a problem, though.

I'm having a bit of an issue that there's
just too many beautiful choices here

to choose from.

No, I'm sorry,
I should not have said that.

My mom always told me,
do not compliment a woman on her beauty

because it makes her self-conscious.

Always start with their shoes.

Speaking of, hold on a second,
let me get under this table.

Excuse me!

Got some high boots down there.

Stilettos at brunch.
All right, girl. Okay.

Okay, it's getting hot in here.

-No, no, no.
-That was really fun.

Look, I don't get out much,

-so this was fun for me.
-Me neither.

You sure made their day.

They made my day, truly.
I mean, I've never...

-This is my car.
-This is you? Ooh, a Subaru, hey.

-Yeah.
-I like it.

All right, I'm getting my courage up.

I have two questions to ask you.

Two? Just two?

All right, let's hear it. Drumroll.
Give me the first one, go.

You're gay, right?

-What? I'm what?
-You're gay.

Gay? No. What?

Are you kidding right now?

No, I mean, look,
I don't have anything against gays.

I love gays, but, like,
I'm... no, absolutely not.

What made you think I was gay?

You just seem like one of the girls.
Or, like, you seem to love women's shoes.

No, that's not what that was.

All right, well, if that's a no,
we can go straight to question two.

Okay, yeah. I guess, hit me.

Would you like to go out with me?

On a date?

Okay. Wow, you're a very forward person.

I...

Yes, I would very much...

really, very much like
to go out on a date with you.

I don't know, yes.
Yes is the answer to that.

-All right.
-Okay.

-I'm free next Saturday morning?
-Perfect.

I'll pick you up. Where do you live?

I live in a really boring
government building

that's non-disclosed to the public.

How about this?
Let's meet at Freedom Park.

Saturday morning, 8:00 am.

Sounds like a... Well, sounds like a date.

-It's a date.
-80, it's a date.

-Okay. Bye.
-Okay. Bye.

-Hey!
-All right. All right.

-Sorry, you were shaking, and I was...
-Don't get...

-There's a car... Shit. Okay.
-All right. Yep.

-All right, that was awkward.
-Okay.

-See ya.
-Bye!

-It's hot.
-It's hot.

Wow. You're in really good shape.

Thanks, girl.

-My ex, Jeffrey, he...
-Yeah?

-What?
-You said Jeffrey.

Yeah, that's my ex's name... Jeffrey.

-Got it, right. His name is Jeffrey?
-Yeah.

-Yeah. He was in horrible shape.
-Wow!

Like, we had no...

-No. ..
-It's just been a long time.

-Okay. Good to know.
-But we're nothing alike.

Yeah, I like people, he didn't talk.

He just read war history novels
on the toilet.

What?

No, Jeffrey, that is gross.

Right?

He loves his books,
but when it comes to time for the girls

or homework or driving lessons,
just doesn't show up.

Stressful.

I just think you need a little bit
more fun in your life, to be honest.

Okay.

Do you want to go back to mine
and have some fun right now?

What?

Really?

Yes, very much, yes.
I would very much... yeah.

-Okay.
-Yeah. Now?

-Yeah.
-All right.

Told you I wasn't gay.

Shut up!

Tell me about your daughters.

Their names are Dee and Lindsay. Dee's 11.

She's pretty sensitive and creative,
but she's like, I don't know.

She hasn't let me out her hair
since she was a baby.

She's one of those kids.
And then Lindsay's 16.

She has a sign on her door
that says "Emotionally unavailable."

She also just got her learner's permit
but refuses to drive,

even though she wants her freedom,

-so that's where we're at.
-Oh, is that right?

Well, I'm a good driver. If you want me
to teach her, I'll happily do it.

We just met!

That's a good point, that's a...

Yeah, I know... I just love kids, so...

Okay, well, maybe,
maybe you could meet 'em sometime.

You know, like maybe you could come over

for pizza one weekend maybe?

Like a pizza party?

Can we have a pizza party?
Like a pizza Saturday?

I haven't been out of the house,

let alone on a date, okay?
In a very long time.

I don't know if my girls are ready for,
you know, Mom to be dating just yet.

I get that.

We can still have a pizza party
and just make it just totally normal.

I'm just a friend from church, you know,
that happens to be a government spy.

A non-gay one.
You know, a non-gay government spy

that just comes over
and wants to, you know,

have pizza with you
and your daughters.

-You know, just make it normal.
-Okay.

You're, you're not normal, John, but...

I like you.

You know what's not normal?

You just look like this all the time?

Looking inviting.

He's here. Okay.

Hello.

Please come in.

Wow, that's a lot of food.

Girls, this is my friend John.

John, these are my girls.

Hey, girls.

Hi, I'm John Zorin,
your mom's good friend from church.

You must be Dee.

-That's short for Delia?
-Yeah.

Yes!

You must be Lindsay, and that's short for...

That's not short for anything at all,
actually.

Look, I've heard so much about you guys.

And one of the things that I have heard

is that you, Dee, happen to be
a huge fan of Zelda like I am.

Is that true?

-Yeah.
-Is that right?

Good, 'cause I got you this Link doll.

And another question.

Have you played Four Swords?

-No.
-It is so amazing

and it comes with this special controller
that I'll teach you how to use later,

until you can whup my butt,

which you'll probably be able to do
really quickly

'cause I hear you're a Zelda master.

-Thanks.
-Yes, Zelda worked. One down.

Lindsay.

For you, I have an assortment
of very angsty teenage music,

for your listening pleasure.

Thank you.

No, thank you.

Nice to meet you, John Zorin,

Mom's friend from church.

-Where are you going?
-I have homework.

It's okay.

Maybe next time, okay?

All right, don't worry.

I also happen to have gotten you
something, Miss Leigh.

This is all so sweet.

I'm sorry about Lindsay.

I thought this might be hard for her.

Yeah. No, and look, I understand that.

-This one has to go on top.
-Yeah, on top. The top part.

And this one has to go...

-But wait, where's the light gonna go?
-Okay.

Wait, you got to connect...

Oh, the click. I love the click.

-Dee?
-Yep.

It's 11:00. Past 11:00.

Come on, let us finish this, please?
She's, like, the best builder.

We're, like, 20 pieces away from the end.

Yeah, please, Mom? So close.

-Another time, okay?
-Okay.

I had the best time with you. Okay?

-Can I see you again?
-I'd like that.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

So, if it's late, I'll just come
and tap on your window?

I don't know if I'm a "tap on the window"
kind of girl, John.

No?

All right, how about
I just knock on the front door?

Okay.

I'll be home

I'll be home

When your nights are troubled

And you're all alone

When you're feeling down

And you need some sympathy

There's no one else around

To keep you company

Remember, baby

You can always count on me

I'll be home

I'll be home

I'll be home

I'll be home

I'll be home

Wherever you may wander

Wherever you may roam

You come back

I'll be waiting here for you

I'll be here to comfort you

And see you through

I'll be home

I'll be home

Goodbye, Halloween.

I'll be home

Turkey time.

-Don't hit the light.
—I won't.

Hey, maybe next year,
we should get an inflatable Otis.

-Word up.
-Hey.

I'm not stepping in this time, okay?

You gotta do it. You gotta do it.

You got to punch the bully in the nose,
you know?

-My man, Otis.
-Yeah. Yeah.

I need to tell you something, Mitch.

-Whoa. Okay.
-Yeah.

I mean, okay. What?

What?

Please say it.

-No, I'm sorry.
-We're at work.

Say it.

Otis, come on.

-Just say it.
-I wanted to tell you, I...

I sweeped up the stockroom like you said.

-Okay, is that it?
-Yeah.

No, no.

My mom used to tell me,
"Be careful what you touch."

She said that moving one grain of sand

changes everything in the whole universe.

I think people call it
the butterfly effect.

That just one butterfly
flapping its Wings

can make a hurricane
on the other side of the world.

And before we know it,

we're banging into each other's paths

and changing what happens.

-Are you sure you want bangs?
-Sure.

-It's a big change.
-Thing is about bangs,

there's only about 1 in 1,000 people
that actually look good with bangs

but good news is I think
that you might be one of them.

Oh, God.

No one notices
the butterfly flapping its wings

until everyone feels the storm.

I knew a storm was coming.

I knew if I stayed in one place too long,

eventually someone would recognize me.

I knew I had to leave.

I just didn't want to go alone.

You think you could ever
just move somewhere else?

Like a beach or something?

Start over in a new place.

I don't know, John. I'd need to come
back here, you know?

We'd take the girls.

And just pack up and go.

That's...

No, I can't do that.

I can't do that.

My life is here, John.

...Iettin' go

And if it's real
Well, I don't want to know

Don't speak

I know what you're saying...

Don't speak, I know what you're...

I don't need your reasons

Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

Our memories...

They can be inviting

But some erotically enticing

Writing

As we die

Both you and I...

...stop explaining

Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

No, no, no, no

What the fuck?

What? Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, there's a lot of you.
He's big, he's naked!

He came at me.

Sir, is he still here?

I don't know. I heard the outer...
the alarm door went off.

-So he may have gone outside?
-Yes.

-Charlotte Police! Charlotte Police!
-Charlotte Police!

-Po|ice department!
-Po|ice department!

-Po|ice department!
-Po|ice department!

The alarm was going off.

When we came back here, the door was ajar,

so we really believe he went out this way.

We could watch the whole thing, officers,
so go ahead.

Press "play" on this thing, so...

-Mitch?
-Yeah?

The good news is
you have surveillance cameras

-all over the store.
—Yes, yes.

The bad news...

is none of them were recording.

You need to fix that.

Now, besides the naked guy,

have you noticed anything strange
happening around here?

Well, we're missing
a lot of gaming inventory.

What's a lot?

A substantial amount.

You're gonna have to get
some real security in here, Mitch.

Workers at this Toys "R" Us are prepping
for the holiday rush,

but store manager Mitch Haggin says
he did not expect to see

what he saw this morning,

a strong, very tall naked man.

A naked guy ran at me,

I think he was gonna kill me

and I ran away,
locked myself in my office.

When I asked if the naked man
would scare off holiday shoppers,

Mr. Haggin said he was hiring
round-the-clock security.

We have a really good security system
here now, for sure.

Families can feel safe. This is
a safe place to come for Christmas.

-I think it looks great. Hi.
-Hi.

Hi.

We're almost ready to go.

Lord, we want to thank you
for this wonderful food,

and we want to thank you
for the gift of family.

-Amen.
-Amen.

Happy Thanksgiving.

-So, Leigh...
-Yes?

Why don't you tell us all
that story about the naked man?

No. It's nothing, y'all. It...

It was cold outside and a homeless man
needed to take a shower.

But what if he's also a killer?

He's... Stop being over-dramatic.
He's not a killer.

Your mom's totally right.
He's definitely not a killer.

You don't know that, John.

Well, if he was a killer,
he'd have killed him, right?

The paper said today that there was
$10,000 in video games stolen.

I don't know
if that's a coincidence or not.

-That is a lot of money.
-I don't know, Mom.

Maybe you should quit.

You have a master's degree,
and I don't think it's worth the risk.

It seems scary over there.

I mean, that's not
the worst idea, I guess.

-I like my job.
-Wait.

Hold up. Earlier, you just made it seem
like it wasn't dangerous.

So, if it's not dangerous, then why does
she have to quit so suddenly?

I don't know. I'm sorry.

Did I say she had to quit?

I don't think I did, actually.

I think I was just agreeing
with Lindsay down here.

I was just saying here that Lindsay
actually has a great idea.

If she wants to quit,

then she would have
more time with her girls.

-Yeah.
-Now, everybody,

let's not get too serious because...

I just think...

it's kind of funny.
I imagine the guy...

just going to work, just a normal day,

and then he sees a naked guy
running around inside this toy store.

Makes me wanna get a job there!

Kan“, Mess you.

Yeah, I just think it's really funny,
that's all.

I don't think it's funny, Ron.
I think it's sad.

I mean, someone's so desperate
they had to bathe in a toy store sink,

while we eat and laugh about it?

I mean,

maybe we aren't Good Samaritans.

Maybe you aren't
making the best decisions.

Excuse me, ma'am?

Choosing to work there
while Dee and I are home alone,

waiting for someone to pick us up
to take us places? Like...

Whoa, if we're being honest,

you're old enough to drive yourself.

I don't have a license.

I told you I would teach you, okay?

I can't even sit in the car with you.

And now that Dad's not here,
you bring around this weirdo

and we're supposed to just accept it?

I hope the sex is worth it.

Hey, hey, hey.

Lin...

I'm sorry.

Wow.

-Hello?

This is Cousin Oliver.
I was just calling for Steve.

-It's 7:00 in the morning.
-Yeah, it's also December 1st.

And we had a conversation
a few months back

that I should call back
on December 1st.

Yeah, you just call back, he's sleeping.

Okay, well, can you
just wake him up for me?

Just tell him it's Cousin Oliver.
All right? It's urgent.

Baby. It's your cousin.
It's Cousin Oliver.

Tell him I'm asleep.
Motherfucker. Goddamn.

—Yeah, he just says...
—We can do it Sunday.

He's asleep and that
you should come see him next Sunday.

Next Sunday. Okay, great.
Is he still in Fayetteville?

No, no. It's the Twin Pines Motel.

-Twin Pines. Okay.
-Room 204.

-Don't be a dumb-ass and take the bus.
-204. I got it.

He says don't be a fucking dumb-ass
and take the bus.

He wants to know if you've got a car.

Yep. Tell the sarge
I'll take care of that,

and I'll see him on Sunday
as scheduled.

Hi. Hi. Morning.

You didn't tell me you had to take a trip.

You weren't supposed to hear that.

Okay.

Look, it's not a big deal. I just have to
go and just check in, that's all.

Okay.

Morning, Lindsay.

Good morning, Leigh. Good morning, Dee.

Everybody want to say "good morning"?

Good morning, John.

All right, who wants to apologize first?

No? You?

Come on, guys.
Nobody has anything to say to each other?

So families fight.

That's fine but they also make up.

Come on.

I'm sorry for the way I've been acting,
Lindsay.

Great work.

I shouldn't have said the thing about sex
in front of Dee.

-Yeah.
-And...

And? You got it.

And I need a ride to Doug's.

-Nope. That wasn't. ..
-You aren't getting a ride anywhere.

Do you have any idea how much
you embarrassed me last night?

I embarrassed you?

John, will you drive me?

You do not get to abuse him
and then ask him for favors.

-It's okay. I don't mind driving her.
-No, stay out of this, John.

See? He doesn't mind.

If she wants to go somewhere,
she can learn to drive.

I'm not driving in that car
with that stick shift with you ever.

Well, then I guess you'll never go
anywhere again.

-Okay, time out. Time out.
-Ever!

I'm sorry, can I ask my mom to drive me
places 'cause she's my mother?

Okay, stop! I have an idea, okay?

I have an idea.
Hear me out, it's a great idea.

We need a beater.

What even is a beater, John?

It's a beater.

That's a nice ride right there, huh?

-Classic 1999 with very low mileage.
-Yeah?

Great color, too. Awesome family car.

It's automatic.

It is automatic. Great price.
You guys want to try it out?

-Yeah.
-Got the keys right here.

Look at that.

It's nice seats, right?

You know, modern cars
just don't have the same feel.

This is kind of like the golden era.
The '903.

They don't just cut it today.

They don't make
modern cars like this anymore.

-Yeah.
-These are like sofas.

-You guys buckled up?
-Yeah, yeah.

-Any cops around here ever?
-No, no. Nobody's gonna stop you here.

Just gonna push it just a little bit.

Okay.

Okay.

-It's got some horsepower. Okay.
-All right. All right.

It's got a nice V-6! Okay.

Okay. We're not... No, no, no!

Hey, hey, hey, hey! Sir! Sir!

-Watch out!
-Here we go.

Fuck! Fuck, slow down!
Slow down! Slow down!

Slow down! It's a used car! Slow down!

Fuck! Slow down! Slow down!

Are you guys okay?

Motherfucker!
-Yeah? All right, good.

What's wrong with you, man?

-Calm down.
-No, get out.

-Calm down. No, no.
-Get out! I'm driving us back.

Lindsay. Stop. Calm down.

Lindsay, get up here, you drive.
You in the back.

-No, maybe she shouldn't drive, John.
-No, she's a kid, she can't drive.

-No, she can drive. Listen.
-No, give me the keys right now.

Stop, stop. Calm down, okay?

How do you teach a kid to swim?
You throw them in the water. All right?

If you want her to drive,
we got to let her drive.

-Yeah, go, Lindsay.
-Does she even have a license?

-No.
-She has her permit.

No, you cannot test drive with a permit!

Listen, I'm gonna purchase this car
if the young lady approves.

And I'm gonna pay cash.
How's that sound to you?

I'll let you hold it.

Go on. Yes.

Get up here, you're driving.

All right.

All right.

Seat belts. Safety first.

All right, this is not
a manual transmission.

This is an automatic,
so it's so much easier.

You can just forget about your left foot.
It's all right foot.

So put your right foot on that brake
right there, the big pedal.

Yep, push it all the way in.
All the way in. Real firm.

Okay, now you're gonna
take your right hand,

you're gonna pull that towards you
and down to "D."

Perfect. Now let it go. Back at two.

All right, you're not gonna worry
about the gas.

You're just gonna
ease your foot off the brake

and we're just gonna move forward,
and that's it.

All right?

Take a big breath. You got this.

You got it. Come on.

You got it. Go, go, go.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good.

-Nice!
-Good one.

All right, family,

I always love to take pictures
of my happy customers.

If you guys don't mind?

All right. Big smile.

One more, one more.

Now, let's pretend your dad
almost crashed the car.

All right!

Hey, great stuff, guys.
Thank you very much.

You're a better driver than him.

That's true, actually. I felt really,
really safe with you, so good job.

Yeah!

I'm glad.

-Thank you, John.
-Congrats, man.

Will you girls wait in the car while I
talk to John for just like a minute? Here.

-Okay.
-Okay.

We got a beater!
Yeah, we got a beater! Yeah!

I have to say it.

-I did not like that driving.
-Okay.

I'm sorry. I know.

-I shouldn't have done that.
-Yeah.

But Lindsay was a really, really good
first-time driver. Wasn't she?

-She was great.
-Yeah.

She did so good. And, I don't know,

I think she's starting to like me.

They both like you.

They really like you, okay? I like you.

You just...

You just need to slow it down
a little bit, okay?

Okay.

And we don't need so many things, John.

We just want you.

Just be you. Be normal.

-I promise. Most normal.
-Okay.

You take your trip.

And when you come back,

we'll have a few normal nights, okay?

-No more stunt driving, I promise.
-Okay.

Gosh.

-"I love John."
-Oh, my God.

"John, I love the car."

-"It's the perfect car."
-See you back at the house.

Okay.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Cousin Oliver, here for Steve.

It's a little early.

-Hey, Steve?
-Yeah?

Cousin Oliver's here.

Hello, dumb dog.

Yeah, I knew you'd show up at the crack
of dawn if I didn't give you a time.

-We|come home, Sarge.
-Yeah.

-All right. Yeah, that is enough.
-Good to see you.

Yeah. Damn, you look clean
for a motherfucker that's on the run.

-I'm trying. I'm trying.
-Where you been hiding out at, church?

You know I can't tell you that.

Seriously, where you hiding out at?

No, I can't tell you that.
You don't want to know that.

You ain't got no contact, right?
You ain't talking to nobody?

-No, no.
-Okay, 'cause you know if you are,

-I can't help you.
-No, why would I do that?

-You good?
-I'm good. I'm good.

Keep your eyes on me, then.
Why you keep darting them around?

I'm not darting them.

-I'm looking right at you. Look.
-You sure you're all right?

Okay.

We gonna need to change that hair
before we take the photo.

Hey, baby, what you think? Wig? Dye?

Like, for his hair.

I think we do a wig.

Yeah. Don't worry, Jeff,
you'll still be you.

But cuter. Like Brad Pitt.

Ugly-ass Brad Pitt.

My God.

-Baby, are you serious about this?
-I'm... I'm...

-You serious?
-This is a panty dropper.

My God. Baby, come on.

Okay.

You got to be fucking kidding me, baby.

Say hi, baby.

-Wow.
-Baby, that's a good...

-That's good, right?
-Yeah.

This one feel good to you?

Feels like you could be
this person for a while?

-You ready?
-Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Stop with the damn smiling.

What the fuck you doing? Just normal face.

Yeah, serious. It's your passport.

You know, you're not allowed to smile.

One, two, three.

Read this shit. Study it.

All of it. All right?

It's gonna be the new you.
You're Kenneth Owen Griffin.

Born July 7, 1974,
from Lumberton, North Carolina.

Now, I'm gonna get all your documents.
Don't worry about shit.

Transfers, records,
I'll have it all done, Ato Z.

Okay. What are you thinking, like, 5K?

No, it's gonna be
a lot more than that, man.

More than that? How much more?

You think I don't know what you're doing?

You probably got a girlfriend, don't you?

-What? No.
-Yeah, you do. Yeah, you do.

Yeah, you not good at this shit.

-Good at what shit?
-Being a criminal, nigga.

Let me tell you something.
Good criminals are cold, calculating.

You understand?

Now, you got the calculation down,
but, man, you just...

goofy.

The price... it's gonna be 50K.

All right?

-50? 50?
-Yeah.

Hey, you a lot of risk, man.
Can you do it?

Okay. Yeah.

How you gonna do it?

I'll get it. I'll get it.

If you're thinking about using a gun,
do me a favor.

Stay the fuck off the TV.

Roofman, you understand what I'm saying?

Don't do anything stupid.

Okay.

Shit!

What the...

Shit!

Shit! God!

Shit!

Stupid idiot!

90% of our annual sales
happens in the next two weeks.

Think about that.

There's gonna be a lot of money coming in,
and we need to be ready for it.

Considering our recent setbacks,
I think we're doing pretty good.

You should be proud. Come on.

Come on, guys. Come on. Come on.

But the ball game starts now.

We're beefing up security
so the store is safe,

and families feel safe in the store.

Right on schedule.

Because if our customers have
a good Christmas, then so do we.

You are so punctual, my friend. I like it.

Your job is to sell toys.

It's gonna be a little bit heavier
this time around.

Yeah, I'm getting a lot of these lately.

Good for your arms. The muscles there.

We're gonna open early and stay open late
every day this Christmas season.

And that includes Christmas Eve.

I posted the new schedule.

Now, I know some of you
are gonna have shifts they don't want,

but there's no exceptions or changes.

You show up
when your name is on the schedule.

So let's have a happy Christmas.
Let's do this for the kids.

Come on. Back to work.

Nice hat.

You look like a Christmas supervillain.

Yeah, I am a Christmas supervillain.

You're driving, though.

-I'm driving?
-You're driving.

Okay.

Holy shit, you got so much stuff!

Mom's gonna freak out.

Yeah, she's gonna freak out with joy.

-Hi, Mom.
-Hi, Mom.

Okay.

Perfect timing. Everyone's ready to go.

Hey, guys. I can't go to church tonight.

-Why not?
-I have to wake up super early.

I have a shift tomorrow.

Then I have good news for you.

Mitch called, and he's gonna be a nice guy
and let you sleep in.

-Mitch called?
-Yeah.

Said 10:30.

40:30?
-Yeah.

10:30 to 4:30, I think he said.

Why?

I don't know.

I mean, maybe he knows
that you have a family,

and he wants you to be able
to spend the holidays with them.

-Mom.
-Hi.

-I love you. I love you.
-I love you.

Come on into the manger!

-Well, she said there was no room
-No room

-No room
-No room

No room at the inn

Well, well, the time had fully come

For the Savior to be born

But they told her there was no room

-No room
-No room

No room at the inn

-According to the word
-Oh, yes

There was a virgin girl

-Hey, hey
-Oh, yes

—Mother of Jesus
-Oh, yes

—Wandering round that night
-Oh, yes

She was trying to find a place

For the Savior to be born

But they told her there was no room

-No room
-No room

-No room
-No room at the inn

—I said there was no room
-No room

-No room
-No room at the inn

One more time
There was no room

-No room
-No room

No room at the inn

I said the time had fully come

For the Savior to be born...

Otis, back to work. Come on.
Clean that nursery, would you?

-Like I told you to.
-Okay.

-Hello, sir.
-Hello.

Mr. Money Man, Mr. Money Man.

Good morning,
Toys "R" Us employees. Hello.

This is the police.

You guys, you know
you got an alarm going off back there?

Everybody this way.

You're coming with me. Little faster.

My God. My God. He has a gun.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Please keep
your hand away from your gun, sir!

Get on your stomach.

You two, come here.

No one's gonna get hurt
if everybody just does what I say.

On your stomach. Otis, here.
Zip-tie everybody up.

Otis, come on.

Jesus Christ. Mitch, zip-tie everybody up!

Okay? Get on your stomachs, eyes down.

What did I say? Come on.

On your stomach.

Get down.

Don't do this right now.

Hey, hey! What did I say?

Shit!

Fuck!

That wasn't my fault!

He's a bad listener.

This is not happening.

Everybody take a breath.
Mitch, give me one of those.

Thank you, sir.

Okay.

-Sorry. Sorry.
-Come on, Mitch, let's get a hop on.

Let's go.

Look, I'm sorry. Sorry.

Guys,

everybody, just calm down.
I'm sorry about this.

Mitch, get the keys.
Come on. Let's go to the safe.

No, there's no money here.
There's no safe.

You think I don't know
that there's a deposit

that you take to the bank every Tuesday?

Come on, please!

You're okay.

Eyes down. Eyes down.
I'm sorry about this, guys.

It'll be all over in a second.

Come on, you do this every day. Calm down.

Come on. Here we go. Good job. Eyes down!

-Just find the key.
-Oh, God.

Eyes down out there!

-Yes! Put it in!
-Okay.

Put it in the safe and open it.

Take the bag out. Put it down.

I need you to take the ink bomb out.

If I do that, it'll blow up everywhere.

Not if you do it quick.
Zip it right back up really fast, okay?

Okay.

Okay, good.

Oh, God.

Goddamn it.

He needs an ambulance!

You said you weren't gonna hurt anyone,
but you hurt him!

He needs an ambulance!

You're just a bully! You're just a bully!

Otis?

I can't see.

He needs an ambulance!

I guess it's obvious I'm just a pushover.

All right, Otis.
Fine, I'm calling 911, okay?

911. What's your emergency?

Shit.

Shit!

Fuck!

Charlotte Police! Charlotte Police!

—Po|ice department!
—Charlotte Police!

You were calling him names.

He had a gun,
and he was calling him a bully.

Man!

Did you see any part of his skin
or any other clothing?

I could tell he was a white man, yeah.

Did you see his eyes?

This is fucking fantastic, Jeff.

You a fuckin' nut, you know that?

-It's fucking great. Baby, you see this?
-Yeah.

Okay, let's see.

This is your North Carolina-issued
driver's license, all right?

Got your passport.
Notarized birth certificate.

You got your check stubs
from your last job.

And there is your ticket.

You leave at 11:00 pm. out of Charlotte.

Now, what you're gonna do
is a layover in Miami,

and then you're gonna fly to Barranquilla.

From there,
you're gonna take a little bus,

and it'll have you in Venezuela
before the weekend is out.

Looks like I got everything I need
in case I decide to go tomorrow.

"Decide"?

You already made your decision, man.
What you talking about?

You can't expect me
to go on Christmas, right?

Can't I just stay a while?
I'll just lay low.

That's not a choice you have, Jeff.

You got to leave tomorrow.
I got people waiting on you, man.

I got a security guy in Miami.
He'll be at line three.

You got one shot, man. 11:00 pm tomorrow.
Don't miss this shot, all right?

-Baby, let's get this wig on him.
-You bet.

One more thing I was thinking about.

Saw on the TV there was
some shit about a armed robbery.

I don't know nothing about that.

I need your thumbs.

You know you got to
cover your tracks, Jeff.

-Yeah.
-Everything you touch.

I need you to really think
about who you talked to,

who talked to you, who knows your voice.

I'm over a cliff for you, man.
You understand that, right?

Yeah.

So nothing? No doctor's visits?

I went to the dentist and got
some cavities filled. But that's it.

Okay. You ain't get no X-rays?

No, I got X-rays,
but I gave 'em a fake name.

Okay. It don't really matter
if you gave 'em a fake name

if they got your teeth, Jeff.

All right. Yeah.
Look, I'll take care of it.

Any messes you made, you clean it up.

Then you go straight to the airport
and wait for your flight.

No getting on the news, no good-byes
to anyone you said "hello" to.

That means no postcards, no calls.
No none of that.

Shit, we had a good run, you know?

You know, after all this stuff calms down
and I get settled over there,

you think you could tell some people
where I'm at?

Like maybe could visit me sometime?

No. No, no. It's none of that, man.

Nobody coming to see you, Jeff.

You're starting over.

You're on your own now.

Okay.

Oops.

Hello?

John.

I was just about to call you.
Is everything okay?

I've been calling you. Where are you?

I'm driving. Actually, I just pulled over.

Are you coming to Christmas dinner?

The girls have been asking for you.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Yeah, I wouldn't miss it.

Want to meet us at 5:00? At home?

At 5:00? Yeah, that sounds good.

Yeah. I'll be there.

You there? Are you okay? I can hear you...

I can hear you breathing.

I love you, John.

I love you, too, Leigh.

I'll see you at 5:00.

Leigh?

Merry Christmas.

-Po|ice! Lay down!
-Down on the ground, now!

Get down. Don't move!

-On the ground! Get on the ground!
-On the ground! Get down.

-Don't move! Don't move.
-Do not move.

Doing good. Don't move.

Do what we say and you won't get hurt.
You understand me?

I got him. Don't be a dickhead.

Don't fuckin' move. Drama's over.

What's your name?

-What's your name?
-I think you know my name.

-What's your name?
-Jeffrey Manchester.

-PID. Target.
-We got him.

We got The Roofman.

He almost made it.

All right, let's move.

Search his ass.
He's a tricky motherfucker. This way.

Search him good.

I probably let myself get caught.

Or maybe I just couldn't leave
without saying good-bye.

They threw the book at me.
Gave me 384 more months.

That means by the time I get out of here
I'll be an old man.

Gave me a lot of time
to think about my life.

Everything.

When I was out there, in the world,

I wasn't thinking of the things
or people that I was putting at risk.

Now that's all I think about.

We all like to go back in time

to imagine how things
could have gone differently

if we made different choices.

Like right now.

I was imagining
what it would have been like

if I never committed all those crimes
and lost my family.

Or if I got to keep on living with Leigh
and her girls forever.

Sure, they'd boss me around a little
and make me go to church

but they'd laugh at my dumb jokes
and forgive me

when I was on the wrong part
of cold and calculating.

Or something.

I started to realize
that all those people I loved

didn't need me
to give them so many things.

They just needed me. My time.

And now that's all I have... time.

-I got fourA's.
-You got all A's?

-Yeah.
-Even in math?

-Yeah.
-Becky, I'm so proud of you.

It all could've gone a different way,
for sure.

But it didn't.

-It went this way.
-Hey, buddy.

And that was okay with me.

'Cause in here...

I can't hurt anybody anymore.

Yeah. I'm... I'm where I'm supposed to be.

You ever think about it?

What?

You know, breaking out of this place.

No. No. I'm...

This is my home now.

You know, I have to admit, brother, like,

the love story part was really good.

I am curious. You ever see Leigh again?

-Hi.
-Hi.

Should I call you Jeffrey?

Just another jerk Jeffrey in your life,
I guess. Yeah.

How's Lindsay and Dee?

They're okay.

Yeah.

Did Dee keep her bangs?

She did.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry that I hurt you.

I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.

You don't have anything
to be sorry about, Leigh.

You don't.

You didn't hurt anybody.

You just told the truth.

Yeah.

I was really angry at you.

I was most angry
at how you hurt the girls.

But that's not the way
I think about it now.

Okay?

I think about it as an adventure.

We had a lot of fun.

-Yeah.
-We're thankful.

Well, maybe I'll come visit you some time.

You gonna tap on my window?

Maybe I'll just knock on the door.

The Roofman has returned
to rob again, overnight,

cutting his way into this McDonald's

on the intersection of Wilkinson and Main.

To look at what he's done,
it appears he's very intelligent.

It's just that he also
likes to commit crime.

Holes cut into the roofs,
workers told to get into the coolers.

But no one was hurt.
In fact, the suspect was nice.

Very polite person.

He always makes sure that the employees,

before he walks them
into the refrigerator,

that he has them put on their coats
so that they'll stay warm.

This was an earlier composite drawing
of Roofman, always wearing a mask.

The owner here refused to comment
on all details of the robbery,

referring calls
to the McDonald's corporation.

But he's also robbed Burger King and...

Police caught him with $9,000 in cash

allegedly stolen
from two McDonald's restaurants.

The first in Gastonia,
the second in Belmont.

The suspect almost got away,

until a worker
at this Belmont McDonald's

saw which way he ran
and then called police.

I interacted with Jeffrey on the robbery

that happened in the McDonald's
in Belmont.

The whole time,
he was saying, "I'm so sorry.

You guys are the good people.
I'm the bad person."

He was a nice fella. He was real nice.
He didn't...

He didn't come across as...
you know, come up, talkjunk.

You know. "Why am I here?"

Nothing like that.
You know, he was a nice fella.

He's an incredible liar.

Pretty much about everything.

Everybody thinks, "He's such a hero,"

because he gave the toys to the children.

Well, the toys were stolen.

As far as, like, having an inkling
to maybe there's something there?

No, I didn't have any kind of inkling.
He was a nice fella.

He got involved in our church.

But now that the pastor knows
John is really Jeffrey Manchester,

the escaped convict accused
of sticking up Toys "R" Us

and torching a dentist's office,
how does he feel?

My belief is that as a church,

you got to stand with somebody.

Doesn't mean that you agree
with what they did.

The Roofman, or the Rooftop Robber,
I never heard anything about that.

I was oblivious to anything

until after my relationship with Jeffrey,
and then he was captured.

Then it just seemed to be everywhere.

Never thought
that would happen to my office,

him trying to burn it down
to hide his record.

The whole front area was gone.

In the beginning, it just seemed to me
he had everything together.

And it's a perfect example
of how greed and money

and bad influences in your life
could change your outcome.

Pastor Smith says he's already visited
Manchester in jail.

He could not believe
that I came to see him.

That we would not just be really
mad at him and turn our back on him.

Although it was a church member
who turned Manchester in.

Police captured him
leaving the apartment of Leigh Wainscott,

the new girlfriend
he met at a church singles event.

I talked to my oldest daughter,
you know, about this recently

and I asked her to share with me
anything that she remembered...

that she could share, and she just,
"Yeah, I remember very well.

He was awesome.
You know, we had so much fun and..."

They didn't have anything bad
to say about him.

Nothing at all.
