The story

Facing an upcoming audit that will reveal he has been embezzling money from his employer, payroll manager Andy Hanson decides to flee to Brazil.

Andy plans to have Hank rob their parents' jewelry store, describing it as a victimless crime because the store is insured.

Before the robbery, Bobby reveals that he has a real gun and insists on entering the store himself while Hank waits in the car.
