It's Florida, Man.

What you're about to see

may be dangerous, illegal, unethical,

petty, misguided, immoral, and most definitely stupid.

But it's also all true.

Hmm. Sort of.

KENNETH "SPEEDY" RAULERSON: They thought they could steal my dog and get away with it.

Fuck with my dog.

But now it was payback time.

I was gonna hit 'em hard and haul ass.

Well, the ideal situation was

go up and put that sucker on automatic pilot...

steam due west,

and steal the whole damn casino.

An action creates a reaction.

You mess with my dogs, you're gonna get a reaction.

And they got a reaction.

- (INSECTS CHIRPING) - (DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE)

My name's Kenneth "Speedy" Raulerson...

And I'm from Crackertown, Florida.

I was born on Halloween night.

Matter of fact, I was born in 30 seconds flat.

The doctor had to chase me down the hall

just to spank me on the ass.

I mean, I was Mach 10 with my hair on fire.

I mean, my whole life.

There's only one thing I've ever been addicted to,

and that's adrenaline.

I did just about every crime there is to do.

From bank robbery to extortion

to aggravated assault with a firearm.

Armed with a deadly explosive.

Blowed up a bar.

I leveled it. Wasn't nothing standing

but the ice machine.

I've kidnapped one dude's brother

and made the other brother pay the money.

Allegedly.

- That's just what I've been charged with now. - (CREW MEMBER CHUCKLING)

Get in. Look at this.

I've been in some pretty tight situations.

Oh, shit!

I did some pretty stupid things.

You got the wrong guy on this one.

During all those escapades, not a shot was ever fired.

Nobody was never seriously hurt.

Other than a headache.

You heard all the stories

that Speedy's on the run,

and I always thought, "God, this guy, he's fascinating."

But at the same time, I was scared of him.

My name is Jessica Kite,

and I grew up next door to Speedy Raulerson.

I didn't know Speedy when I was a kid,

but I knew the legend. The legend of Speedy.

I've been a fugitive twice.

I was first a fugitive from 1985 to '89,

and then from early '97 to 2006.

All right, listen here.

The second time I went on the run was much harder

because I had to leave my beloved dog Shay behind.

Shay, you're the best darn dog I ever did know.

You hear me? But I gots to go.

- (WHINES) - Shay is the actual reason

that began this whole story that I'm fixin' to tell you.

My friend Walt, he was really the only one

I trusted with Shay.

You can trust me with her, Speedy.

Yeah. What about that boy of yours?

Jared was his son.

He was about... I think he was 18 years old,

maybe 19. I'm not sure.

I'm 36.

They knew how much I cared about her,

so they took her.

- She'll be well took care of. - All right.

- Love you, Shay. - (SHAY WHINES)

There was a certain law enforcement agent

who had a hard-on for me.

I got a hard-on for Speedy.

That's a weird thing to say.

His name is Bill... (BLEEP) ...special agent with the FDLE.

They come and took Shay and held her, literally, for hostage.

And the FDLE told Speedy,

"If you don't turn yourself in,

we're gonna put these dogs down."

I was angry.

I'm angry.

You just don't go and take someone's dogs

and murder them in cold blood.

I'm very angry.

You're going to pay dearly for it.

1 (OVER TV) I took the wife on the SunCruz, and...

He couldn't wait to win the jackpot.

That's when I started plotting

to steal that SunCruz casino boat.

Reserve your slot for the next SunCruz Casino.

Sailing twice daily

from Martha's on the Intracoastal...

In his mind, that's how he got even.

It was just tit-for-tat.

It doesn't make any sense to me,

but it makes perfect sense to Speedy.

You steal my dog, I'm gonna kill your cat.

And I was killing their damn cat.

For reservations, call 1-800-47-- - Fuck you.

I came up with the perfect plan

- on how to rob that casino. - (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

'Cause I was gonna do it big.

I knew there was 250,000 dollars on that boat,

and I was gonna get it all.

And I had my friend Walt who was gonna help.

You can count on me, Speedy.

I'm serious, Walt, no boozing. No boozing.

I swear on my mama's grave, I never will fail you.

Okay.

Step one was the night guard.

We needed his key card. - (CONTINUES SNORING)

Huh? Where's my dang gun?

He was a heavier guy.

"SPEEDY": Easy.

All right, come on, come on.

The ideal situation was to get into the big safe...

"SPEEDY": Let's go.

...get the money...

...go up and put that sucker

on automatic pilot...

...and head due west. - (BOAT HORN BLARING)

You were gonna steal the whole casino boat?

I was gonna steal the whole boat.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, 100 percent.

One hundred percent,

I wanted to steal the whole boat, okay?

That was it in a perfect world,

but it just didn't happen that way.

Murphy's Law. If it can go wrong,

it will go wrong.

And true to Murphy's Law,

basically everything went dinky dow.

That was the perfect plan,

but here's what actually happened.

- Hey, Walt! - (CANS CLANK)

Hey. Walt, you ready?

On the night of the heist,

I go over to Walt's...

I'm solid. I'm straight.

Sure as the world, he's drunker than Cooter Brown.

Shit.

When you see a heist or a bank robbery

or something like that reported in the media,

it's nothing like you see in the movies.

My name is Blaine Coral.

I did 35 years as a police officer.

I've become a Class "C" licensed private investigator.

I need my pistol. Damn thing.

- (PISTOL THUDS) - (GROANS)

Most of these guys are not rocket scientists,

or they would not be doing the type of things that they do.

I'm like, "Tonight's 'Go' night."

Tonight's "Go" night!

Walt, you told me that I can count on you.

By God, you can count on me,

'cause I'm telling you, I never done did you dirty.

And I'm telling him,

"Walt, I can't take you in that kind of shape.

You're too drunk."

- I'm too drunk? - Just give me your keys.

Let me borrow your truck at least.

Payback, she ain't running.

- God darn it! - Wait. I got an idea.

He said, "Well, take Jared. He'll go."

Jared.

Jared, he was the only one that can go.

So I'm like, "Okay, to hell with that."

I didn't have much of a choice.

So I took Jared.

Which was a big mistake.

What you never do see is a Mission Impossible

or a Ocean's Eleven type gang of thieves.

There's generally also very few brain cells

working at the same time.
