But that is precisely what he does to obtain the exorbitant amount of money that the family needs if they were to survive years on the run from the authorities.ĭuring one of his classes, John asks his students, “What if we exist in a reality of our own making,” while speaking about Miguel de Cervantes’ novel. He is evidently more comfortable explaining ‘Don Quixote’ to his students than raiding a drug lord’s lair with a gun in hand. John is a quintessential intellectual-shy, reclusive, and kind to a fault. Through John, Haggis explores the extent of human capacity when legal and moral choices are taken away one by one.

She is subsequently found guilty and sent to prison for 20 years. The following day, the authorities show up at the Brennan household’s doorsteps to apprehend Lara and charge her for killing her boss.
