A Simple Plan

Three men (two brothers and a friend) discover 4.4 million in a crashed plane in wintry Dakotas, MInnesota????  One of the brothers is the smart one, a college grad. He at first wants to turn over the $ to the police.  His brother and friend talk him out of that.  DRUG MONEY, they say. No one will claim it. It's not stealing.

"Smart" brother agrees.  They'll keep the money hidden till spring, then divide it up and move away.  Simple

But. Smart brother decides to return some of the money to the plane because there should be some there.  As he's doing so, a farmer comes along. Billy Bob Thornton, dumb brother, panics and smashes in the farmer's head.  Then smart brother finishes him off and dumps his body in creek.

Next, friend wants his share early.  Smart brother's wife wants to trick friend into confessing to the murder of the farmer on secret tape by a ruse.  Tell me how you'd have done it?  Once his confession is on tape, they can keep him under control or turn him in.

half done, very good.

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
