00:40:13Believe you
00:40:16I
00:40:19Never meant for any of this to happen, of course, you didn't mean for it to happen who intends for this to happen
00:40:28You know
00:40:37There are consequences to your actions most of the time you're not the only one who suffers
00:40:45I mean look at this man. You've ruined his life
00:40:49And who knows what they're gonna do with us
00:40:56I won't let anything happen to you or you get
00:41:03What are you going to do
00:41:06How are you supposed to keep us safe from harm, why are you saying this event you've done a great job so far dad
00:41:15No, mom, he cheated on you
00:41:23Let him be
00:41:26Why
00:41:27His family's realizing what kind of scum he really is
00:41:31They're turning on him
00:41:33Let him suffer. I
00:41:36Can't believe you would do this to mom
00:41:39You bet
00:41:40It was wrong dad Yvette, please what did she ever do to you you bet enough
00:41:47Don't you raise your voice at her?
00:41:50You shut your mouth. She's only speaking the truth. You have no right to get upset with her
00:42:00Yvette I am so sorry
00:42:03Your mother doesn't deserve this neither to you. This is all my fault
00:42:09This doesn't excuse my behavior in any way, but
00:42:16Your mother and I were having issues
00:42:21Financial problems and
00:42:24Gosh we were arguing all the time
00:42:28and I was angry and hurt and
00:42:32There was this I had this employee at the office that was going through similar issues
00:42:41We just started to talk
00:42:47She opened up to me and I
00:42:51Now realize I opened up far too much to her
00:42:56And one night we stayed late and
00:43:00One night we stayed late then
00:43:04She broke down crying I
00:43:09Just wanted to comfort her
00:43:13One thing led to another
00:43:18We went too far I
00:43:22Know that there's nothing I can do to fix this
00:43:27But I am truly sorry Connie
00:43:33I am so sorry Yvette. I'm sorry. You had to find out about it this way
00:43:39And I'm sorry I let you and your mother down
00:43:45Why were you having financial issues
00:43:48Was it because of me?
00:43:52No, of course not
00:43:56Why would you say that because you both worked really hard to save up for my college and I flunked the first semester
00:44:13Your mother's right the only no Stephen was a good son who went and
00:44:18Got into the Marines and went on to get a good job
00:44:22Okay, and I know that
00:44:25I
00:44:29I'm sorry. No Yvette, and I'm the one who drank just a bit too much and skip class. I tried and I'm sorry
00:44:44I just messed up. Okay
00:44:49Our financial issues didn't happen because of your college
00:44:53It happened because I trusted Dean to do the right thing with our investments and retirement
00:45:00Who's Dean?
00:45:04Dean was our genius financial advisor who is more concerned with making Commission than protecting our finances
00:45:11I hadn't told your mother that I
00:45:16Had a changed a few
00:45:19Things on our investments based on Dean's recommendations
00:45:24and
00:45:25when that particular stock
00:45:28dropped to practically nothing
00:45:34Finally had to tell your mother
00:45:39Needless to say she wasn't very happy
00:45:44You see I trusted Dean and I trusted you
00:45:49I trusted you to keep our finances safe. I
00:45:52Trusted you to help our family and I trusted you to discuss any major changes with me
00:45:57I could have used your support effort losing my retirement
00:46:02Most importantly I trusted you to stay faithful to me
00:46:13I'm really sorry, man
00:46:16You know, I knew your wife had passed but I didn't I didn't know these details
00:46:23Yeah, it would have been nice to know some of these things before he came out here tonight
00:46:28Would you have still have come?
00:46:32How about you really
00:46:37I don't know probably
00:46:41Yes, you're gonna take my house
00:46:46I
00:46:48Need every dollar I can get right about now
00:46:54I was laid off recently and I'm having trouble keeping up with my payments
00:47:01Sorry to hear that. I'm sorry to hear about your wife and son
00:47:05Me too, man
00:47:09Thank you
00:47:12Look I know you don't want it
00:47:15Talk to me right now, and you can do whatever you want later
00:47:20But right now my priority is to keep us alive and get us out of here
00:47:28Do you have an idea no
00:47:32I've been trying to think of something
00:47:34but right now I
00:47:38Don't think we're gonna be able to fight our way out of here so
00:47:46I'm gonna try to talk to this guy. I don't think that's a good idea. Why don't you try talking to him?
00:47:56I don't know. I don't want you to try talking with this man. I can give it a try
00:48:03The sinker seems mostly directed at you John, I think it could work. All right, I'm gonna take these bags downstairs
00:48:16You
00:48:21What's up from downstairs
00:48:29Please be careful with what you say to him
00:48:45You
00:48:58Wasn't there pasta on the stove I'm not moved to pasta Marco
00:49:04Yeah
00:49:06You know what I'm in the mood for yeah, what's that little piece of you that sounds pretty good right about now I
00:49:14Don't know man something tells me you're not her type
00:49:23I'm every girl's type this don't know it till I show you're one sick man Marco
00:49:32Yeah, yeah, well speaking of sick
00:49:38Victor didn't mention any of this to you about his his family
00:49:43No
00:49:44Not at all. He mentioned that he had an opportunity and asked if I was interested in making some extra cash
00:49:52So I really needed it and naturally I said yes
00:49:56Yeah, that's what I said, too
00:50:01You know, I was really hoping no one would be home though I was hoping for the same thing man
00:50:06I mean this isn't like when we broke into mr. Tyson's house back in high school. Yeah
00:50:13But we knew nobody was home because Victor was banging his daughter at the time
00:50:18Well
00:50:20You mentioned you're probably gonna lose your house
00:50:24Yeah
00:50:25I'm about fifty three hundred dollars behind right now and the bank is going to foreclose unless I come up with a balance by the
00:50:31first
00:50:32It's not good in I
00:50:37Don't think we're gonna come up with that after tonight, man. I
00:50:41Know and that's the one thing that's got me worried. I
00:50:45Still haven't found a job after applying for hundreds of them in the past several months
00:50:50What happened to the job you had?
00:50:52The greedy executives at the top decided lay off hundreds of employees
00:50:57They brought us in one by one and gave us the axe
00:51:02That sucks man, the severance package that they left for us might as well been nothing
00:51:08These layoffs they happen in the middle of the month, so we basically lose our insurance two weeks later
00:51:13They never told you why they laid anyone off either, huh? No
00:51:18Revenues were an all-time high my guess these executives at the top
00:51:22They wanted to ensure that they're already overblown paychecks remain that way and what better way to do this
00:51:29Lay off all the lower-level employees and funnel that money back to the top
00:51:35Capitalism at its finest
00:51:37greed disguises capitalism
00:51:40this is the type of shit that puts so many hard-working people out in the streets struggling to survive and
00:51:47They're forcing to break into people's houses
00:51:49We're not the criminals they are if we break into someone's home steal a few hundred dollars
00:51:55We'll spend a lifetime in prison
00:51:58Guess what they steal millions and billions of dollars and they won't spend a single night in a jail cell I
00:52:05Agree with you, man. I
00:52:08Mean I used to have a 401k several years ago
00:52:15And then the recession started and I pulled all that money out and
00:52:20They penalized me just for doing so. I
00:52:25Mean all those years of taking a little bit out of my check and putting it away for nothing
00:52:33nothing
00:52:37What a joke
00:52:39The system is rigged my friend and those people in charge are the ones rigging it
00:52:47They buy politicians to keep their taxes low and
00:52:52Get free reign to do whatever they want to whomever they want whenever they want to
00:52:59Yeah, am I right? You're right
00:53:01Puppet politicians with their corporate and lobbyist puppet masters pulling the strings. They don't care about us
00:53:08They don't care about the working man
00:53:12the common man
00:53:16They only they only care about who's gonna fund their next campaign
00:53:22Legalized bribery at the highest level and we all suffer for it
00:53:28Exactly
00:53:46You
00:53:58Sir
00:54:03Excuse me, sir
00:54:09Excuse me, sir
00:54:11I
00:54:15Know you don't want to talk to me, but if you can just listen, I would really appreciate it
00:54:25I wish none of this had ever happened and I'm so sorry for what you're going through
00:54:32I
00:54:39Know you're angry with John for what he's done
00:54:44But hurting him
00:54:48Killing him isn't going to bring your family back
00:54:51You
00:55:01Seem like a good man. I
00:55:05Don't believe you really want to hurt us
00:55:09You didn't deserve any of this
00:55:14I'm so sorry
00:55:17You
00:55:20Please you don't have to do this
00:55:27Let us go and we won't say anything take whatever you like I
00:55:35Understand you're in pain
00:55:40Doing this is not going to bring your wife and son back
00:55:47What would they say
00:55:52What would they what would they say
00:55:57They can't say anything because they're dead dead
