00:00I'm telling you, give me one chance and I'd hack those terror cells so fast they'd think I was in the next room.
00:05And you think our government's doing anything about it?
00:07No, they rely on outside groups like Anonymous to do their dirty work, to pass them information.
00:20And then they lock up kids who are just having fun, and it's those kids they should be hiring.
00:27Doesn't that make you mad?
00:31Fools give full rent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end.
00:37For Christ's sake, Stan.
00:39Once again, please, my name is David now.
00:44He knows.
00:45David, changing your name doesn't mean you get to start over. This isn't Halo, you can't just respawn.
00:51You know, I'm willing to accept my faults and set a path to correct them.
00:55Like a talisman, my name serves as the key to the spiritual mindset I'm trying to achieve.
01:00Doesn't alcohol do the same thing?
01:03You should come to Bible study with me sometime.
01:06All the answers are in here.
01:09Now, if you'll excuse me, we have customers.
01:13Nice strawberries, thank you.
01:20State-sponsored cyber-terrorism, though. Isn't that the FBI's worst nightmare?
01:25Yes, if a terrorist was to perpetrate a hack, it would be the worst nightmare.
01:30Yeah, I mean...
01:42Come on.
02:13Thanks a lot.
02:14♪♪
02:24♪♪
02:34♪♪
02:40You forget something?
02:47I found this stuck between my seats.
02:52Wait right there. I have something for you.
02:58Hi there, Jack.
03:00Hello.
03:01Beautiful weather we're having.
03:03Are you kidding me? It's hotter than hell out here.
03:06Oh, you know us southern ladies never sweat.
03:11You came early today.
03:13Efficiency's my middle name.
03:15Early isn't efficient. It's just early.
03:19You got that letter for me?
03:21Right.
03:27You okay there, son?
03:30Mm-hmm.
03:40Here.
03:41Here.
04:05Happy birthday, Tommy.
04:07You were just a little boy and now you're ten.
04:09Blah, blah, blah.
04:10Love you very much.
04:12Love, Grammy and Granddad.
04:22Adam from Barb.
04:27Whoa.
04:28Nice to meet you.
04:30Stay right there.
04:38How generous of you.
04:41Dear Adam, I've never done anything like this before.
04:45Really?
04:46I'm a little embarrassed, but you make me feel so comfortable.
04:49I can't tell you enough how much your encouragement
04:51has brought me out of a very dark place.
04:54I don't know what's more impressive,
04:56that I'm wearing lingerie or that I figured out
04:58the camera timer.
05:02Oh, shit.
05:08What's up with the get-up?
05:10I thought you were at work.
05:12Oh, cold and sick.
05:37I'm sorry.
05:53Dear Michael,
05:57tomorrow will be six years since you left us.
06:022,190 days since you told me you were gone.
06:06That's 2,190 nights
06:09dreaming the same beautiful dream of you next to me.
06:16And then the same horrible nightmare
06:18where you float away,
06:21dissolving into darkness,
06:26leaving only that moment when the doorbell rang.
06:36I forgive the soldier.
06:40I'm still angry with God.
06:45Daisy looks more like you every day.
06:50She has your cute stubbornness
06:52and your intellect, too.
06:57But she struggles connecting with others.
07:01I just don't know what to do.
07:06I sent her application to that school
07:08for the gifted in Nashville.
07:10It's a long shot,
07:12and it's expensive.
07:14Too expensive.
07:17But I think you'd at least want me to try,
07:19wouldn't you?
07:23I miss our mornings together,
07:26the dawning of each new day
07:28bringing endless possibilities.
07:30Days filled with love.
07:34Nights filled with laughter.
07:39A life full of dreams.
07:44But that song has been sung.
07:49The harmony's gone.
07:55I miss you.
08:01Dad thinks it's time to move on,
08:04but rhetoric is a poor substitute for action.
08:08Doesn't he realize my Prince Charming
08:10is never coming back?
08:31Be right there!
08:40Get your names.
08:42Sam, may I come in?
08:46Do I have a choice?
08:48You always have a choice.
08:50Some choices are just better than others.
09:01So, what brings you to this side of the tracks?
09:07Ever hear of the Spice Trail?
09:09Oh, the Indo-European trade route?
09:11Yeah, we learned about it in school.
09:13That's funny, that's very funny,
09:15but I'm referring to the online drug marketplace.
09:17Oh, that Spice Trail.
09:19Well, you really should have been more clear.
09:21We infiltrated it a few years back,
09:23and we were hacked.
09:25Over a thousand Bitcoin was stolen.
09:27We've only just now caught up with the trail.
09:29Great, congratulations.
09:31However, we're at a dead end.
09:33The trail vanishes.
09:37You think that's funny?
09:39It's just I don't recall you reaching a dead end with...
09:44With me.
09:46I'm sure whoever you're after is using an encrypted Tor server,
09:49just like I did.
09:51Yet you were somehow magically able to find my IP address.
09:55So I'm just wondering
09:57why you don't break the law to find them as well.
10:00Sam, the thing is, we know the IP address.
10:03It was routed through the same data center you used.
10:06Well, thanks to you,
10:08I'm prohibited from using the Internet.
10:10So, unfortunately, there's no way I can help you.
10:14Actually, we think you can.
10:17Nobody leaves a calling card quite like you, Sam.
10:22That's over ten million dollars' worth of Bitcoin.
10:25Gone.
10:26Which would make you a very rich man.
10:31Look, I have no idea who stole your coins or how.
10:34That wasn't my game.
10:36If you were willing to break into Monsanto...
10:38Come on, that was for the people subjected to their genetically modified crap.
10:42That is a far cry from stealing assets, even in the real world.
10:47Sam.
10:52Do you have the coins?
10:54No, I don't have them.
10:58Thank you for your time.
11:01You should have visited me in prison.
11:05I've missed our little conversations.
11:10There's always next time.
11:25If you were to die today,
11:27how sure are you that you'll be going to heaven?
11:30Well,
11:31if God's willing to overlook that drunken one-night stand from last week,
11:34I'd say I've got a 50-50 chance.
11:39You have got to be kidding me.
11:41What is it?
11:42I'm trying to cash out of this stupid poker game,
11:44but it's saying all I get is 1.2 dollars.
11:46Which is a bunch of crap I just took the pot out of.
11:49I don't care.
11:511.2 dollars.
11:52Which is a bunch of crap I just took the pot.
11:55Let me see that for a second.
12:01Oh, no, it's not 1.2 dollars.
12:04It's 1.2 bitcoin.
12:06You sneaky bastards.
12:08I gave them my credit card.
12:09No, it's still real money. It's just...
12:12It's a digital currency based on a perceived value
12:15created by a group of people engaged in trade, just like the dog.
12:19Why are you such a dork?
12:25So how do I get my money?
12:28In dollars?
12:30It's easy. You just...
12:32You just cash out and then convert the dollars on an exchange.
12:35I can do it for you.
12:40Stanley!
12:44Hi, Rachel.
12:46We need to talk.
12:50Is everything okay? What's going on?
12:53Did you hack the Spice Trail?
12:57Jesus Christ, Stan.
12:59Please don't take the Lord's name in vain.
13:01How could you?
13:02It was a few years ago.
13:03A few years? That wasn't what we were into.
13:05It wasn't corporate. We agreed to stay corporate.
13:07Why would you hack into a drug marketplace?
13:11You went rogue on me.
13:13I've already been to prison once. I'm not going back again.
13:15Why?
13:16Because they're bad people.
13:18They sell drugs to kids.
13:19They sold drugs to my sister.
13:21They killed her, Sam.
13:25I... I can't cover for you this time.
13:27You don't have to, dude.
13:29You didn't do anything wrong.
13:31Tell that to Agent Ames. He stopped by this afternoon.
13:34What?
13:36So where are the Bitcoins?
13:39I lost them.
13:41They're gone.
13:42Gone?
13:44Why is he talking to you about this?
13:48Check your wallet. Karate Cat was hangry.
14:00I'll, uh...
14:02I'll go talk to him.
14:03No. I'll take care of it.
14:05He can't prove anything.
14:36After you, m'lady.
14:38I just...
14:42Oh, hey there, little bro.
14:44Meet Nancy.
14:45Nancy, this is dipshit.
14:51This is your boyfriend?
14:57Why don't you come party with us tonight?
15:00It'll be fun.
15:03Oh, baby, come on. You know I'm just playing.
15:07Baby?
15:09Baby.
15:10Come on. You know I love you.
15:15Babe.
15:17Baby?
15:19Come on, baby.
15:21Babe.
15:23Baby?
15:25Come on, baby.
15:50Come on, baby.
15:51Come on, baby.
16:17You ready to go to bed, sweetie?
16:21Yeah.
16:51I love you.
17:21I love you, too.
17:52I love you.
17:54I love you.
18:21I love you.
18:52Hi, I'm Sam.
18:54I like long walks on the beach and candle-lit dinners.
18:57Oh, yeah, I'm also a convicted felon,
18:59recently released from prison,
19:01who stole your letter and staked out your house.
19:04Yeah, I know.
19:05And you were expecting Prince Charming.
19:22Yeah.
19:34This is so wrong.
19:35I don't even have a driver's license, dude.
19:37Just drive in a straight line and slam on the brakes.
19:39I'll pretend you hit me. It'll be fine.
19:43That's her.
19:51She's a creep.
19:54Watch, she is.
19:59Remember, just like we planned.
20:21Oh, shit.
20:46Oh, shit.
20:48Hold it!
20:52Fuck.
20:55Shit.
21:01Are you okay?
21:07Can you hear me?
21:12Are you hurt?
21:19Hi.
21:22Come on.
21:24Let's get you up.
21:28Come on, let's sit.
21:30I just came out of nowhere.
21:32Hey!
21:35No.
21:36Hey!
21:37Honestly, it's fine.
21:38Wait!
21:49Are you okay?
21:51Yeah, I'm fine.
21:56Okay, let's get you inside.
22:07That's it.
22:08Over here.
22:10Sit down.
22:12Oh, my goodness.
22:13Your hand.
22:16Does it hurt?
22:18I hadn't even noticed.
22:21I was very brave of you. Thank you.
22:28Are you okay?
22:33I'll tell you what.
22:35Here is my name and number.
22:38If you start to feel worse or get a headache or just want a lawyer up and need a witness, call me.
22:47Hi, Josie.
22:48I'm Sam.
22:49Hi, Sam.
22:52Are you sure you're okay?
22:54Better now.
22:56Okay.
23:20Have you remained in the same residence since our last meeting?
23:24Yes, sir.
23:25I'm still living with my deadbeat brother.
23:29Have you maintained gainful full-time employment?
23:33Yep.
23:34I'm still stuck in reverse.
23:37In lieu of paying restitution, you've opted to perform community service.
23:41Have you complied with the court order for the required number of hours?
23:45Tell me, sir.
23:46Is this it?
23:48Is this what rehabilitation looks like?
23:51Something troubling you, son?
23:53Yeah.
23:54I need a better job, for starters.
23:56And a new car would be nice.
23:58And how is that possible when the system is rigged against people like me?
24:02People like you.
24:05I'm not a bad person.
24:07You're also not a victim.
24:11Look.
24:12I understand how hard it is when you first get out.
24:15You've got no job, no prospects.
24:17And in your case, you're unable to earn a living using the unique skill set that you have.
24:21I do get it.
24:22That's just it.
24:23I can still do coding and security work.
24:26I don't have to be connected to the internet.
24:28I mean, I can do all my work on a dummy station and then send thumb drives.
24:33There has to be a job that'll let me do that.
24:36I'll tell you what.
24:38I'll do some digging for you.
24:41Really?
24:45In lieu of paying restitution, you've opted to perform community service.
24:49Have you complied with the court order for the required number of hours?
24:54Yes, sir.
24:56And you've done it?
24:58Yes, sir.
25:00And you've done it?
25:02Yes, sir.
25:03Yes, sir.
26:03Good morning, sir.
26:33Good morning.
26:47Sweetie, why aren't you asleep?
26:50Mama?
26:51Yes?
26:52Do you think Daddy's in heaven?
27:01Well?
27:03Come here.
27:06What do you think?
27:08Well, Albert Einstein said energy can't be created or destroyed.
27:15It can only be changed from one form to another.
27:21I think Daddy is a star.
27:27Daddy is a star.
27:30He was our star.
27:34Would you please sing me a song?
27:36Sing me a song.
27:56Galileo, what were you thinking?
28:02What were you seeing?
28:05Did it frighten you sometimes you might be a fool?
28:12Did you stand beneath the moon glow to change the world or impress a girl?
28:22Were you just sleepless and needing something to do?
28:43Tell me, Galileo.
28:51Tell me.
28:58Come on.
29:09Come on, Pops.
29:22Come on.
29:33Well, hello there, sir.
29:36Hello.
29:38Where's your truck?
29:40High cholesterol. Doctor said I need more exercise.
29:44You look thin enough.
29:46It's a silent killer.
29:49Aren't they all?
29:51You have any mail in that bag of yours for me?
29:55Afraid not.
29:57You got any outgoing mail for me?
30:00Yes, I do. Right there.
30:04Thank you. You have a great day, sir.
30:07You too.
30:21Hi.
30:51Hi.
31:17I interviewed for that customer service position today.
31:19I think it went well.
31:21Hi, sir. How can I help you?
31:23Yeah, I need bee honey and all you have is wildflower honey, so.
31:28Well, sir, wildflower honey just means that the bees use primarily wildflower blossoms to make the honey, so.
31:36You think I'm stupid or something?
31:40My wife sent me down here to get bee honey.
31:44I need honey that's made from bees, not by wildflowers.
31:50Yeah.
31:58And although the pay raise would certainly help, I still don't think it'll be enough for Daisy.
32:05Daisy.
32:07She got in trouble again at school today.
32:10What am I doing wrong?
32:20The guys are playing again this weekend.
32:23Should I go?
32:26I miss the music.
32:31But that was a different life.
32:34I was a different person.
32:37No.
32:39Honey, you need to eat. Grandpa went through a lot of trouble making that for you.
32:43Smells like Godzilla farted.
32:45Daisy Maribel, where did you learn that?
32:47At school.
32:49It's okay?
32:51No, Dad, it's not okay. Apologize.
32:55I'm sorry, Grandpa.
32:57Apology accepted.
33:00Now will you eat some chicken nuggets and french fries?
33:03That'd be much better. Thank you.
33:05You're quite welcome.
33:17Whatcha doing?
33:19I'm drawing a processional graph on Mercury's orbit.
33:27Isn't it pretty?
33:29I've been stuck on this page for years.
33:32It's beautiful.
33:34I want to start a new chapter, but who am I?
33:39If but caught between the past and the future, just waiting.
33:48Is this it for me?
33:51All the dreams I had, are they...
33:55Are they gone forever too?
33:58Hey there, Josie. Looking good.
34:02Hi, Tom. How are you today?
34:05Mother's going out for bingo tonight.
34:08She's going to be out late.
34:10That's nice.
34:12Excuse me.
34:17Um, I have a date tonight.
34:22Sorry, Tom.
34:30I think you just saved me again.
34:33I guess it's providence that we ran into each other then. Again.
34:38So, I never got a call from you. I take it you're okay?
34:42Well, I am a little concerned about this corn. Do you know if it's non-GMO?
34:52Did you get it in the certified organic produce section?
34:56Yes, I did.
34:58Then yes, it is non-GMO.
35:01Great. I feel so much better now.
35:04Shall we?
35:06Shall we what?
35:08I believe you mentioned a date?
35:09Well, that...
35:11No, I didn't actually mean it. You and I were going to go on a date.
35:17Then shall we have a drink?
35:19Isn't that the same thing?
35:21Depends on how you look at it. Plus, you do kind of owe me.
35:25I do not.
35:28Tom!
35:30Tom!
35:33And I jumped in front of a car for you.
35:35If that doesn't get a guy a drink, I don't know what does.
35:41Let me go, Paco.
36:06No, I wasn't ready.
36:11Here you go.
36:15I can't stay long though. My daughter is with her grandfather.
36:18You have a daughter?
36:21Where are you going?
36:23Yes, I have a daughter. I am widowed and I haven't spoken with another man in years, let alone have a drink with one.
36:29Please, don't go.
36:35I'm sorry.
36:37I...
36:39I haven't done this in...
36:41ever.
36:44Neither have I.
36:50I always dreamed of being a singer.
36:53But, I mean, what kid didn't?
36:56Me?
36:58I respect music way too much to subject this voice to it.
37:01So, what's stopping you?
37:04Life, I suppose.
37:08I was even in a band.
37:11People really do that?
37:13I mean, I feel like everybody wants to, but I've never met anybody who actually has.
37:19Well, don't let this customer service uniform fool you. We were good.
37:25I'm sorry.
37:26Don't let this customer service uniform fool you. We were good.
37:32You are brave.
37:34I was brave. I was.
37:38What about you? What did you want to be when you grew up?
37:42A fighter pilot.
37:44That's impressive.
37:47So, are you a fighter pilot?
37:50Unfortunately, no. A little thing called school got in the way.
37:54Grades?
37:56No, no. That wasn't the problem. I got straight A's.
38:00I had what you might call behavioral problems.
38:05Looking back, I think I was just bored.
38:09I acted out a lot.
38:12Do you still act out?
38:16Honestly, I just try to focus on the little victories.
38:20It's what gets me through the day.
38:21Yeah.
38:23Maybe someday they'll all add up to something. Something special.
38:29Let's drink to that.
38:38Hello, Mrs. Cartwright. This is Hawthorne Elementary calling.
38:42Please give us a call back. It's regarding your daughter Daisy. Thank you.
38:51Hello?
39:01Come in.
39:05Please sit down, Mrs. Cartwright.
39:08What happened?
39:10Daisy hit a girl. She's okay. Just a little shaken up. They both are.
39:15Daisy gets frustrated easily, which I'm sure you know.
39:18But the thing is, it's getting worse.
39:20She's becoming more antisocial.
39:22She just retreats into herself.
39:24She doesn't pay attention. She doesn't interact with the other kids.
39:27She just doodles all day long.
39:31I would like you to consider this.
39:38Special education?
39:40You're not serious.
39:42We just feel that she would do better in another program.
39:45One that can cater to her unique needs.
39:46But she's smart. She's really smart.
39:49We're doing the best we can, Mrs. Cartwright.
39:52But we can't have her hitting other kids.
39:55That's two weeks in a row.
39:57I have to take the well-being of all students into account.
40:00Including that of Daisy's.
40:16Hey.
40:21Hey.
40:25Are you okay?
40:27I'm here.
40:29I think of you when I find my strength.
40:35Remembering your warm embrace.
40:40I know I'll hold you again someday.
40:45Hello?
40:47I was going to wait for records at 48 hours, but...
40:53Hello?
40:58Hi, Sam.
41:00I'm sorry. It's just been a really bad day.
41:03Lucky for you, I have just the thing.
41:06Do you want to go out with me on a date? A real date?
41:11I don't even know you.
41:13That's exactly what I'm trying to remedy.
41:16So, I'll pick you up at 8?
41:23Is that a yes?
41:29Yes.
41:32That's a yes.
41:46Hey.
41:48Can I have your address?
42:11You sure this is a good idea?
42:13I can't pick her up in the car. You almost hit her with...
42:15No, I mean this entire situation, dude.
42:17Look, have you ever had anybody love you?
42:20Think you were the greatest thing in the world?
42:22Yes.
42:24Jesus.
42:25Well, I haven't, but she has.
42:28Maybe she could feel that way about me someday.
42:37That's it. That's the one.
42:40How do you think this is going to end? Really?
42:43I've got to try.
42:45Try to be something better.
42:47If I don't, I'll just be living the same life I've always lived.
42:50Where has that gotten me?
42:56Hello?
42:58Sam?
43:00Yes?
43:02Yes, sir.
43:04Really?
43:06That's great. That's amazing.
43:08Be there at 10 a.m. sharp.
43:10Yeah, I'll be there.
43:13All right, good luck.
43:16How can I help you, Special Agent?
43:18You have Sam Collins on papers, correct?
43:22I do. Is there a problem?
43:23Has he reported on his weekly probation?
43:25He has.
43:27Hasn't missed even once?
43:29No. He's been a model probationer. Why?
43:32Hasn't asked you to look the other way?
43:35You know, you're bordering on the offensive, Agent.
43:38Aims.
43:40Aims, right.
43:42Of course. Forgive me.
43:44One more question before I leave.
43:46Has he mentioned anything to you at all about stolen bitcoins?
43:49No.
43:50No.
43:54Thank you for your time.
43:57You're aware that lying to an FBI agent carries a maximum sentence of five years?
44:03Yes, I'm well aware of the law, Agent Aims.
44:09Is there anything else I can do for you?
44:21And the devil mocked me
44:24Come on, help me
44:26Please, please, please
44:30Please, please, please
44:34Please, please, please
44:50Hello, sir. I'm here to pick up Josie.
44:55Postal work pays pretty well.
45:03My aunt recently, we were very close.
45:08Honey?
45:10Who are you?
45:11Come inside with Grandpa.
45:12Come on, darling.
45:14Hey, but who is that man?
45:17That's the mailman.
45:21Hi.
45:22Hi.
45:25Wow, I haven't been in this part of town in forever.
45:29I hear there's some great restaurants that open up.
45:32And speaking of...
45:35I thought we were going to dinner.
45:37Don't let this place fool you.
45:39They serve the best corned beef you'll ever taste.
45:43I can't go in there.
45:45Look, here's the thing.
45:46We could do a quiet evening in a restaurant talking all night.
45:49Serious adults having serious conversations.
45:53Or we could go in here, have a meal, laugh, listen to great music.
46:00Your choice.
46:17Hey, man, could I get another round of Guinness for the band?
46:19Free?
46:20Yeah.
46:21We'll be up in a wee minute.
46:26Josie?
46:27Is that really you?
46:30Oh, my God.
46:31I can't believe you're actually here.
46:34How have you been?
46:35God, you look amazing.
46:36Hey, I'm Sam.
46:37Hey, there.
46:38I'm Gareth.
46:40Sorry.
46:41I hope you're taking good care of this.
46:43Sorry.
46:44I hope you're taking good care of this one.
46:46She's a special girl.
46:47Absolutely.
46:52Well, look, we're just about to start the first set, but please swing by during the break.
46:56I know the rest of the gang are going to love to see you.
46:57Yeah.
46:58It's great to see you again.
46:59It's good to see you too, Gareth.
47:02Cheers.
47:06So you know that band I used to sing with?
47:08No way.
47:09What are the chances?
47:13Cheers.
47:32Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed round.
47:43Come on.
47:44You are making that up.
47:45No, that's really the postman's trick.
47:49You know, if only every occupation sounded so noble.
47:53Do you like it?
47:55It certainly has its perks.
48:13I was five years old.
48:16Looked up to my grandpa.
48:18He was my idol in a way that parents can't be at that age.
48:22And I was walking down the street with my mom and he was on the other side approaching us.
48:30And so I called out to him, Grandpa, Grandpa.
48:36And he just kept walking.
48:39Pretended like he didn't even see me.
48:45Wow.
48:52He had remarried his first wife had died and the new wife thought it would be a good idea to disassociate him from his kids.
49:01That was the last I ever talked to my grandfather.
49:08A few weeks later, we packed up and left town in the middle of the night.
49:14I started to stutter.
49:17I kept asking my parents if I was good.
49:24I was paranoid, really.
49:26And then I grew up and realized it doesn't really matter if you're good or not.
49:32My being good had nothing to do with my being bad.
49:37I was just a kid.
49:39I was just a kid.
49:41I was just a kid.
49:43I was just a kid.
49:45I was just a kid.
49:47I was just a kid.
49:49I was just a kid.
