99 Homes Page #3

Synopsis: Around the world everyone knows that honest hard work gets you nowhere. In sunny Orlando, Florida, construction worker Dennis Nash learns this the hard way when he is evicted from his home by a charismatic, gun-toting real-estate broker, Rick Carver. Humiliated and homeless, Nash has no choice but to move his mom and nine-year old son into a shabby, dangerous motel. All is lost. Until an unexpected opportunity arises for Nash to strike a deal with the devil - he begins working for Carver in a desperate attempt to get his home back. Carver seduces Nash into a risky world of scamming and stealing from the banks and the government; he teaches Nash how the rich get richer. Living a double life, Nash hides his new boss and job from his family. He rises fast and makes real money; he dreams bigger. But there is a cost. On Carver's orders, Nash must evict honest families from their homes - just as it happened to him. Nash's conscience starts tearing him apart... but his son needs a home. In a

You are trespassing right now.

You are breaking the law.

Sir, this is our home

so we just need a few minutes.

We're going in circles here

so I'll let the sheriffs take care of it.

- Randy?

- All right, sir.

We've got a judge, sir,

and a lawyer who told us we can stay.

- Is this your mum?

- Yeah, this is my mum.

I'm gonna need you and your mum

to step off the property now.

You know what? If you all can

come back tomorrow same time

and if we don't have the papers,

we don't have the proof,

- then we will leave.

- We have a lawyer.

- We got it all figured out.

- Just give us a day.

We can dance together,

but we can't talk together.

- OK. All right, sir, we need a day.

- Do not close the door.

- We need a day.

- Listen, this is what I'm gonna do.

- Do not close the door.

- We need a day.

- This is my home. I can do what I want.

- I will give you two minutes

to pack whatever belongings you need

- Cash, chequebook, medicines.

- No, this is not happening.

- Yeah, this is happening.

- No, this is not happening.

I'm getting my cell phone

so I can get the lawyer on the phone.

- Ma'am? Ma'am?

- Excuse me, sir.

- I'm just walking by, sir.

- I don't know what this is.

We can't let someone out of our sight

once we start an eviction.

- Please don't come into my house.

- Listen to me.

There are two ways

that we can do this.

Right? An easy way which is

you do what you're told when asked.

The other way is

that I take you and your mum to jail.

Do you want

your mum to go to jail?

What I'd like you to do

is take advantage of the two minutes,

gather what you need,

cash, cheque books, medicines,

things that you need...

Excuse me, sir, would you mind

stepping outside of the property?

Listen to me, sir.

Let me put it to you this way.

- Excuse me.

- This isn't your home, son.

- Mr Carver?

- Excuse me.

- Mr Carver?

- According to Florida statute 801.08

- I have the authority...

- Sir, we have the right to an attorney.

Right? Then why

are you coming into our house?

Somebody forgot to call you,

we don't get a lawyer?

It's better not to get emotional, ma'am.

- You're kicking us out of our house.

- Please, OK? Please!

Ma'am,

please don't ask questions.

- Please!

- Enough of this. Let's go.

Get what you need to get,

then you need to go.

- Let's go. No more of this.

- Sir, I don't need your help.

OK? I can take a minute.

Do you need to follow a woman

into her bedroom?

I got a full house here.

I'm gonna have to be late

to the next one. I know.

It's just department policy.

Money, chequebook.

- Things like wallets, pictures.

- I'm trying to get pictures!

- Does he have to stand there?
