While retracting some money from ATM for a night out, Will and Carlton are held at gunpoint by a robber (an uncredited Stephen Lang ) - who ends up shooting Will and almost paralyzes him. This event rocks the whole family to the core - especially Carlton, who feels that the justice system he depends on has failed, and in turn, he considers taking an extreme measure: buying a revolver. He visits Will in the hospital and says his piece. When the two of them hug, Will feels the revolver and reprimands Carlton over how stupid he's being. He demands the gun from Carlton, citing that he saved his life and he owes him. Carlton silently relinquishes the gun and Will breaks down in tears after ejecting the bullets.
