(phone ringing)
Ray's, this is Ray.
Cody?
Let me know where
the hell Cody's at.
(groaning)
Wrap it up, God damn it.
Keep, just keep
going, keep going.
What, I was on break.
You got a phone call, Casanova.
Hello.
Hey, when did you get back?
Uh, yeah, all right.
Hey Ray, you mind
if I cut out early?
Hello, hello, hello.
John?
Well, well, well.
Don't mind if I do.
Hello little brother.
How was Cripple Creek?
Productive.
Good.
Yeah, that's good.
You know, I gotta
hand it to you.
If they sent me to half
the shitholes you go to,
I'd've lost my mind by now.
So now,
what is it that you want
to talk to me about?
Wanted to know when
you're leaving town.
Let me guess.
Pam told you.
Only thing bigger
than her goddamn tits
is her fucking mouth.
So where you two going?
Arizona.
Yeah.
Couple weeks back
Pam tells me she's
gonna go work for
her aunt there.
Got some kind of
textiles business.
And you know Pam, so of
course she asked me to go.
Do you remember father Mike?
What the fuck?
Father Mike?
- Mhm.
From when we were kids?
Yeah, that's right.
Sure.
Why?
He said something once that
pertains to this situation.
Go broke while you're
still breathing?
No.
He said, there comes a
moment when every person
must choose between
the light and the dark,
and I believe we've
arrived at that moment.
Seeing as how you're
my big brother, I'm
gonna let you
choose for us both.
Now this is exactly what
I am talking about John.
I'm leaving town, but
there ain't no need
for all this dramatic bullshit.
I know you're not
going to Arizona with Pam.
You're going to California,
with Sid.
Oh Jesus Christ, man.
Now you ought to
consider spending more
time closer to home.
Because right now you
sound paranoid as fuck.
Well, shit.
I told her not to
leave those in the house.
That you may be
coming home early.
But that wife of yours sure
likes to live on the edge.
Sorry.
Sorry for what?
For lying to my face?
I ain't lying.
You telling me you're going
to Arizona wasn't you lying?
Arizona is a cover story
and a cover story ain't lying.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Don't act like this is some
big fucking surprise, John.
You and I both known
Sidney since we were kids.
Yes, technically you
are married to her.
But that don't change the
past that she and I have.
How long you been screwing her?
This ain't about sex, John.
She don't want you no more.
Shut your mouth.
You shut your fucking mouth.
You want the truth?
Huh?
Well, the truth is
what you're going to get.
And she told me all about you.
How you don't talk to
her, you don't listen to her.
Hell, you don't even touch her.
My God, man.
How can you not constantly
want to ravish that woman?
A man that can't
please his wife?
Well, that ain't a man at all.
That's just some
pussy ass bitch.
Oh, okay.
All right, little brother.
You want to throw hands?
Huh?
Well, come on.
Let's go.
Oh, boy.
Well,
the truth is, John,
I did fuck Sidney.
That's right.
Right here on this table.
Yeah, I had her
making this face.
You know which one
I'm talking about, John?
No.
You probably don't.
Now, I've been getting over
on you since we were kids.
But you somehow
managed to marry Sid.
That is your one victory.
But that's it for now.
Because you ain't never
going to have her again.
You understand?
She is mine, and
there ain't a goddamn
thing you can do about it.
You understand me?
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm going to take a
piss in your sink.
Cody, Cody, Cody.
(heavy breathing)
What in the fuck are you doing?
(gun fires)
Boy, you are fucking worthless.
Fucking pathetic, you
couldn't hit water
if you fell out
of a fucking boat.
(gun fires)
You fucking shot me.
You really fucking shot me.
Oh, God.
That fucking hurts.
Fucking hurts.
What can I get for you?
What comes with the eggs?
Choice of bacon or
sausage and a side of toast.
Well, I think I'm
gonna get the burger
and your phone
number, sweetheart.
One burger coming right up.
(bell rings)
When'd you get back?
That really the question
you wanna ask me right now?
Um, guessin' you found
what was sitting on the dresser.
Well that's what I
love about you, Sid.
You've always been
a good guesser.
I wasn't gonna go.
You bought the tickets.
He insisted.
You seriously expect
me to believe that?
Yes.
Don't treat me like
a fucking idiot.
(clears throat)
You okay?
I'm fine.
You don't look fine.
I said I'm fine.
I take it you saw Cody.
I did.
And what did he say?
He said, that while you two
are conspiring to disappear,
you sealed the deal by
fucking right on the table
where we eat.
That's a lie.
You said you made the face.
What face?
The face you make.
How would he know that?
I don't know, maybe
he heard it from you.
Why would I tell him that?
Cause that's the type
of shit guys talk about.
You're a liar, Sid.
Don't call me that.
You're a brother fucking liar.
Don't ever say
something like that to me again.
I'm aware
The things haven't been
how you wanted them to be.
But if you would've just
waited a little bit longer,
we would've got rid of all this.
What do you mean?
Read it.
What is it?
The reason I came home early.
What does this mean?
Everything I've been
working towards.
I achieved something
that finally paid off
and get you out that
cafe and me off the road
and it's better hours,
better pay, a new town.
New town?
A job based in Cripple Creek.
John, I had no idea you
were even trying for this.
I wanted to surprise you.
Tell me you got a job
where we'd have to move
four hours north.
I mean, I'm pretty
fucking surprised.
Well, you don't
gotta worry about now
cause everything's fucked.
What are you doing?
I'm going over to
Cody's to wake his ass up
and that bastard
better thank his lucky stars
I don't got a gun.
He's here.
What do you mean?
He's in the bathroom.
(dramatic music)
(door creaks)
What did you do?
(door slams)
(rustling)
(gasping)
(gasping)
Help me.
- Okay, Okay, Okay.
Help.
I'm sorry.
(gasping)
(dramatic music)
(grunting)
(panting)
01:22:00,373 (dramatic music)
Fuck!
(grunting)
(chainsaw reving)
(engine starts up)
(engine reving)
(phone ringing)
(engine reving)
(phone ringing)
(phone ringing)
(phone ringing)
It's Cody, you know what to do.
(phone beeps)
(dramatic music)
(coughing)
(grunting)
(door slamming)
Fuck.
Oh my God.
(laughs)
You all right?
I got into a little
fight with my beau.
Bastard kicked me
out of the car.
Can I trouble you for a ride?
Sure, hop in.
Right up here is good.
You gonna be all right?
I'll be fine.
Thank you so much.
So, what do I get for
driving you out here?
The satisfaction of
knowing you helped a woman
in distress.
(laughs)
But for real.
What do I get?
You get to keep
your throat intact.
Hey.
(door slams)
(grunts )
(sighing)
Hi, Miss Laura.
Called about a critter?
Mm-hmm.
(door squeeks)
(door closes)
It's right down there.
You say you heard clawing?
Til about a half an hour ago.
Probably got out.
Either that or it came
across a business end
of Herb's old spring trap.
You see anything?
Might I trouble you
for a garbage bag?
You want some ice tea?
Only if you're having some.
So, how you been, Miss Laura?
Ah, been better.
Got lung cancer,
terminal, my doctor says.
I'm so sorry.
Don't be.
I never put much
stock in what doctors say.
How them parents of yours?
Your daddy's still
selling lawn mowers and such?
Uh, He's, uh, retired
several years now.
Huh, must be nice.
And that husband of yours?
Will and I actually
split up three months ago.
Oh, well he was a no
good shit anyways.
No offense.
And speaking of no good shits,
I heard Cody Carlson's
gone missing.
(phone ringing)
(phone ringing)
It's Cody, you know what to do.
Pam, where the hell is Cody at?
What do you mean?
He's over an hour
late for his shift
and the tap lines
are dirty again.
I couldn't tell you, sorry.
(engine revving)
Cody!
Cody!
(knocking)
Wake up, you sorry
piece of shit.
Motherfucker.
Sydney?
It's never been a big secret.
He's always had a thing for her.
Well I know they've
been friends a long while.
More than that's my guess.
Those three living
in close proximity,
disaster waiting to happen.
I'm sorry, is this something
that Sydney's
talked to you about?
That girl has always
had a dark streak.
Always pushing
things to the brink
just to see what'll happen.
And I'll tell you another thing,
it is plain as day to
anyone with half a brain
that she never loved
that husband of hers.
It's a shame too.
He's one of the few local
fellas who ain't a low life.
Even if he is an
underachieving drip.
Sheriff Vile.
Pardon me a moment.
This Rose.
The truck was found
abandoned off of 287.
Being registered
to Cody Carlson.
Well, there you go.
Cody didn't show up
before his shift today.
I waited on him, that
was my fire's ass.
He never showed.
So a couple hours ago
I went by his trailer
and it had been cleared out.
I mean the kid's an asshole,
he's always pulling
some kind of crap.
But I don't know, this
is something different.
When's the last
time you saw Cody?
Last night, when
he came into work.
But he got a call
and he left early.
Know who called him?
I'm not certain, I
think it was his brother.
I'll pay him a visit
after stopping by Cody's.
Say Ray, I'm sorry to interrupt,
the beer cooler is on the fritz.
Shit!
I Just paid to have it fixed.
I know, but it's warm.
Death by Ray's is
gonna be my epitaph.
If you'll accuse me.
Sheriff, I overheard
you talking to Ray
and I just thought
you should know that
Cody and I were
planning on going to Arizona.
Arizona?
You're gonna start a new life.
Bastard.
Hate him to death but I
still love him, you know?
If you don't mind my asking,
when's the last
time you saw Cody?
It was Monday night.
After he cut out
early, after my shift,
I went to his place
and he wasn't there
and his car was in
front of his brother's house.
And around what time was this?
A little for midnight.
That's very helpful, thank you.
(knocking on door)
Hi, Rose.
What can I do for you?
Hey, Sydney.
I was hoping to have a word.
Sure.
Come on in.
Can I get you a water
or a Coke or something?
I'm fine, but
if you don't mind,
I'd love to use your restroom.
Too much coffee.
Sure.
Just that door on your left.
Another hun?
Why do polar bears
have thick coats?
For protection.
(laughs)
That's not in the
house, darling.
Hey.
How you doing, fruit loop?
You think it's all right
to give my girl fuck me eyes?
Hmm?
Babe.
Shush.
The big dogs are talking.
Really not in the mood, guy.
He's not in the mood
anymore, I guess.
Huh?
You know,
I think it's in your
best interest that maybe you
give me a good reason
why I don't punch you
in the fucking face.
Huh?
(glass shatters)
Jesus Christ!
Get out of here!
Baby, are you all right?
Yeah!
Oh my God.
Am I bleeding?
Yeah, a lot.
Fuck!
I hate blood.
Oh.
John?
Yep.
Where are you?
It don't matter.
Are you coming back?
Yeah, ell, I've been
looking through the
papers and watching the news.
There's no story about Cody.
There's not gonna be.
Everything's handled.
How?
I'm not getting into specifics.
Just know I took care of it.
Now come on home.
Oh, shit.
Afternoon, John.
Hey, Rose.
I speeding or something?
Not that I saw.
What can I do for you then?
I was just hoping
to have a chat if it
wouldn't be an inconvenience.
Okay.
I just, uh,
gotta buy some milk
first, that's alright.
Sure.
Why don't you meet
me at the Main
Street Cafe when you're done.
I'll buy you a soda.
Let me know if I can
get you anything else.
Thank you.
Have you spoken to your wife?
Not in the past couple days.
Why? Is Syd okay?
No, yes, she's fine.
But it seems that your
brother has disappeared.
Disappeared?
Ray called me saying
he hadn't shown up
to work, so I went by his
place and it's all cleared out.
After I paid Sid a
visit, and she said
that he stopped by
late Monday night
talking about leaving.
Any idea where he went?
California.
I don't know where
specifically the
letter didn't specify.
He left a letter?
At his house made out to you.
Well, this is all quite a shock.
Why are you delivering
me this news?
What do you mean?
Well, I just don't
understand why you and
I are sitting here
talking about my
brother leaving by
his own volition.
Because there's inconsistencies.
Such as?
When I was at Ray's,
I ran into Pam, who
told me that she and
Cody were planning
on skipping off
together to Arizona.
He's probably just feeding
her a line to get in her pants.
That's certainly a
possibility, but, uh...
Well, except that
my deputies found
Cody's car on the
side of the road
outside Muddy Gap with
the license plate removed.
Which leads me to
think that maybe Cody
didn't put his truck there.
There was someone else.
Of course, you'd know
better than anyone
my brother's rubbed a lot of
folks around here the wrong way.
Personally, I've always
thought kindly of him.
Well, if he resurfaces,
you can tell him.
He'll resurface.
One way or another.
State troopers found his truck.
How do you know?
Because Rose told me so.
You talked to Sheriff Vile?
She followed me on
my way into town.
For all they know, Cody
could have left
the truck behind.
With the plates removed?
Jesus Christ, you
couldn't even get the
goddamn letter right.
What do you mean?
Cody was telling
people he was going to
Arizona, not California.
None of this even matters.
Without a body, they can't prove
anything, and they are
never going to find him.
You doing what you've done,
it makes you my accomplice.
I know.
So why'd you do it?
You're my husband.
Why are you packing?
I didn't know if you
were coming back.
Look, if I wasn't on
your side, why would
I go through all this trouble?
Why didn't I just
call up Sheriff Vile
and tell her everything
that happened?
Because I think you feel guilty.
Cody would have never
asked you to go to
California with him.
He was perfectly happy being a
waste of a person right here.
He wanted to leave.
No, but it wasn't his idea.
See, what I think
happened was, you asked
Cody to go with
you to California
because you wanted
to leave, but you
didn't want to go alone.
Isn't that right?
No.
Sure it is.
So you both ran off
and bought those tickets.
No.
But then you got cold feet.
- John, you have gone completely
sideways. - Didn't you?
Didn't you?
Listen to me.
You almost got away with it.
If you would have
returned the tickets
then I wouldn't have found out.
Maybe I didn't want
to get away with it.
You ever think of that?
So what? You wanted
me to kill Cody?
I just wanted to make
something happen to
force a decision.
Look, I'm not saying
this situation isn't bad.
I'm just saying we have options.
You have the Cripple Creek job.
I'm not going four
hours up the road with
this hanging over our heads.
Fine, then let's
disappear right now.
Just run away and
never come back.
Where would we go?
California.
Are you fucking crazy?
Fine, then anywhere.
Anywhere.
What's the alternative?
Stay here, just sit
around and wait to get caught,
or you go off
somewhere by yourself.
We both know you
wouldn't last a month alone.
You love me.
Otherwise, you wouldn't
have come back.
And now, you and I
are in this together.
I need you.
I'll go with you
on one condition.
Anything.
Tell me the truth
about you and Cody.
What truth?
Did you have sex with him?
No.
Don't lie.
John, I swear to you on my life,
I swear to you on
my life, I did not.
Take me to where you buried him.
Why?
Because I want to
know where he is.
Finish packing.
We leave in fifteen.
For what it's worth,
I'm sorry.
[door knocking]
Can I help you?
We're here about the apartment.
So, this is the
living, dining, kitchen area.
And over there is
the bed and the bath.
So, the listing said
this place is five hundred,
and the lease is
on a monthly basis.
Yep.
Say, are we close to the water?
No, ma'am.
But there's a painting
of the beach on the wall.
Anyways, this unit
just opened up,
and believe it or not,
places in this building
tend to go real quick.
So, are we doing this or what?
Okay.
Alright.
Let's get started
on this paperwork.
I just need a name,
phone number, date of
birth, social security number.
Well, I'm sorry.
What do you need all that for?
In case we need to
do a credit check.
Oh, well, we're paying cash, so.
You still got to fill
out the paperwork.
It's not even for me.
It's for the owner, my uncle.
He doesn't even look at it.
It just sits in a
drawer collecting dust.
Shoot.
It's two.
I got to call that guy.
You know where there's a
payphone or something nearby?
You don't have a cell?
No, sir.
Oh, if you need to
use a phone, there's
one in my office you can use.
No, I hate to put you out.
Oh, no, no. It's no trouble.
It's just, uh...
Down the hall, down the
stairs, second
door on the right.
Should be open.
It's fine. I can handle this.
Just make your call.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
So you folks are from Oklahoma?
What makes you say that?
I saw the plates on your truck.
You're an observant
one, aren't you?
That's part of my job.
Where in OK you two from?
Just a tiny little place.
How tiny?
If you blinked, you'd miss it.
What brings you here?
Just felt like the time
to start something new.
Did you find work yet?
What's it to you?
I like to know if my
tenants have employment.
Well, I saw a little
cafe a couple blocks down
with a help wanted
sign in the window.
You're talking about Maria's.
Oh, you know it?
It's the best mole
in the neighborhood.
I'm surprised you'd
wanna work there.
Why?
Maria's is very
Mexican and you're very not.
(laughing)
Well, life's all about
embracing new things, right?
Thank you again.
Oh, thank you.
Your wife and I were
just getting acquainted.
What did the guy say?
Meeting him in 30 minutes.
So we done here or what?
Yep, just finishing up now.
There you go.
All right, great.
Now I just need the
500 for the rent
and another 250 for the deposit.
Listing didn't say
anything about a deposit.
Oh, a deposit is standard.
Are you sure there isn't
anything you can do for us?
I'll tell you what.
Since the two of you are
paying cash, I'll go 150.
We appreciate that.
Woo, you two rob a liquor store?
Just in between banks.
All right.
Thank you kindly,
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.
Let me get your key here.
All right.
There you go.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
Or as the folks around
here say, bienvenidos.
Johnson.
Yeah, I wasn't gonna
use our real name.
What all did you write exactly?
I don't know, I
just made shit up.
You made shit up?
Yes, John, I made shit up.
Is there an echo in here?
Jesus Christ.
What's the problem?
Do I have to spell
it out for you?
He's not gonna check up on us.
He said that himself.
The guy is strange.
And the way he was
eyeing our roll?
I mean, if you didn't
want him eye in a roll,
maybe you shouldn't
have whipped it out
like a street corner pimp.
John, come on, we paid cash,
so there's no reason
for him to follow up.
And even if he does,
we'll just pack up
and move on to the next place.
No, I don't want us
falling into our old patterns.
We won't.
Hey, we won't, okay?
John Johnson?
Come on, you gotta admit,
it has a nice ring to it.
John Johnson.
Mm-hmm.
It's ridiculous.
I thought you'd like it.
I gotta go meet that
guy about the job.
But when I come back,
We'll go get dinner
or something.
Okay.
All right.
Not working today?
I got the afternoon off.
You going someplace?
Not that it's any
of your business,
but I'm meeting my
husband at the lake.
Taking the bus?
That was my plan.
I mean, unless you
wanna give me a ride.
I would.
But I got my rounds.
Well,
Some other time then.
Do you ever think
about being a dad?
It's okay if you don't.
I was just wondering.
What about, what about you?
I've never thought
about being a dad.
You know what I meant.
I don't know.
I mean, the idea of
being a mom does scare me, but
women have been
doing it for ages, right?
Yeah.
What do you think
about us trying?
For a baby?
Now that we're in a new place,
I just was thinking
it might be a good time
for us to do that.
I know you'd make
a great father.
I'm not trying to push.
I just thought that...
It's fine.
It's fine.
You know, it's just
I think
you know, for the first
time that I can remember,
I might
actually be happy.
Why do you say that
like it's a bad thing?
Because after what I've done,
how do I deserve that?
John, you were fighting
for your family.
Is that what we are?
We have never been more of
a family than we are now.
I'm a killer.
Once you cross that line,
there ain't no going back.
You are a good man,
John.
And this is our second chance.
Let's just put the past to bed.
Start the next chapter.
Come on.
Come on, I wanna
show you something.
Where are we going?
You need to come
with me to find out.
What are you doing?
I miss you.
Uh-huh.
And where was that again?
Coolio.
I owe you big time, bro.
Frontier Times.
Hi, I'm looking for
a story your paper
may have written recently.
If it got written, I wrote it.
Mr. Johnson?
It's Wade, the building manager.
What can I do for you?
Water's leaking through the
ceiling of the unit below.
I gotta check the pipes.
Jesus Christ.
We don't have a leak.
All the same, if I
could just check it myself,
you'd be doing me a big favor.
My uncle's been
straight up my ass about it.
Sure.
Thank you.
The last thing I wanna do
is interrupt your evening.
Mr. Johnson.
Oh, it's fine.
I'm just getting home from work.
On that note, I will
check out the bathroom.
What's for dinner?
Burrito from Maria's?
Good guess.
Nice.
Maria's sure does
make good burritos.
I always get mine with
extra jalapenos and guac.
You get it from the wifey?
I know I'd love to
get my dinner from her.
Are we done here or what?
I just have to check
out the kitchen.
(whistling)
She is dry as a desert.
What, do I have goop on my face?
Notice you're carrying.
Carrying?
Oh, the gun.
Granted, I never had to use it.
I just feel better
knowing that I have it.
Especially when I think
I'm dealing with someone
who's not being
straight with me.
What about you?
What about me?
You got a gun?
Wade,
I think you need to
go check on that leak
before it does any more damage.
Yeah, so there isn't
actually a water leak.
Truth is, I've been real
curious about you and your wife,
John Carlson of
Kendrick, Oklahoma.
One heart for me to
figure out who you were.
My pal of mine down at
the DMV ran the plates
and then I found that
story about your brother
disappearing.
Huh.
Of course, the lady who
worked at the newspaper
that I got it from said
that it's highly probable
you murdered him.
We don't want any trouble.
Well, that's a relief,
because I don't want
any trouble either.
When you arrived last week,
it looked like you
were carrying about 8K.
And that wad of yours,
you give me that and we're good.
I don't have it.
Oh, of course you don't.
It's in a PO box
over in Oaklawn.
This time of night,
to the post office and back
takes about 30 minutes.
So I'll expect you
back here around eight.
Oh, also I'm gonna need
to hang onto your wallet
while you're gone.
All right, how about
you go fuck yourself?
You go down on your
wife with that mouth.
I will get off two
rounds before you take a step.
Back home, I'm sure
you considered yourself
some kind of a tough
dude, but here I'm the chief.
Now give me the fucking wallet.
Slow.
Oh, congrats by the way.
The fuck you talking about?
The bun in the oven.
Oh.
You didn't know.
Huh.
Huh.
I guess that's why your wife
threw this test in the garbage.
Keep that.
Babe?
Hey.
Uh, Maria let me off early, so.
What's wrong?
He knows.
What?
Wade saw a story about Cody.
Well, did you see it?
What is it you don't understand?
He knows.
Okay.
Let's, Let's get out of here.
We can't.
Why not?
Because you took my wallet
and he ain't gonna give it back
until I give him all our money.
You gave him your wallet?
He had a gun.
Oh, so what?
You're just gonna
lay down and take it.
That's funny where
it's coming from you.
What the hell is that?
Wade fished it out
of the garbage.
John, I've never
seen that before.
And all that yesterday,
about you wanting a baby.
That was all coincidence.
God damn it, for once.
Just tell me the truth.
Fine.
It's your brother's.
You happy?
I'll be back.
Don't open the door.
(knocking)
Hi.
Come on in.
Now, I'm aware of
what's going on
and while I am not
very happy about it,
it does confirm my suspicions.
Suspicions?
I just mean it illuminates
your powers of observation.
You know, you saw we stuck out,
so you did some checking up
and that's when you
stumbled upon my little clue,
the paperwork.
I don't understand.
Well, I did that in the
hopes that you dig deeper.
You and your husband
are murderers.
(laughs)
Mmm.
I'm gonna let you in on
a little secret, Wade.
John's brother is not dead.
I mean, sure, maybe
everybody back
home thinks he is,
but the truth is, he
just skipped town.
Why?
Because he and I had relations.
John was so mad
when he found out
he was gonna kill his
brother, so, so he ran.
So you're trying to tell me
that you two are not on the run.
Oh, no, we most certainly are,
just not for the
reason that you think.
See, that money you're
trying to get from us,
that ain't ours.
That's Big Billy's,
biggest meth dealer
in Northeast Oklahoma.
And when we tell him,
he is gonna blow out
here like a tornado
and burn this whole place
to the ground with you in it.
But,
there is another
way this could go.
Oh, come on.
Don't be coy.
I know you like me.
When I'm at work, I can see
you out there watching me.
Let me ask you something, Wade.
Why do you never come
inside and talk to me?
Is it that I'm married?
Or that you're shy?
Oh, I know.
You think I'm out of
your league, don't you?
No.
So I'm wrong on that.
Yes.
Hmm.
Yes, I'm wrong, or
yes, you
think I'm out of your league.
Yes, you're wrong about that.
When you're out
there in your truck,
you touch yourself, don't you?
I gotta tell you, Wade,
when I see you out
there, it is the
highlight of my day.
All I wanna do is go out
there and take
care of you myself.
What about,
No, we'll hear his
car, it's fine.
It's fine.
(screaming)
(screaming)
(screaming)
(screaming)
(screaming)
(screaming)
(screaming)
Where's the wallet?
Wade, Wade, where is
the fucking wallet?
Ah, it's in my,
it's in my,
my pants.
(screaming)
(door slams)
Found your wallet.
What did you do?
What does it look like?
It looks like you
bit Wade's dick off.
No, not completely.
I'm going back, I'm
gonna turn myself in.
You can't do that.
Oh, watch me.
Hey, not another step.
You gonna shoot me now?
If I have to.
Then do it.
Because I'd rather die than
spend another goddamn moment
in this insanity.
You and I have known one
another most of our lives.
And over the years
we've treated each other
with mutual respect, yes.
So why are you dropping this
pile of crap on my doorstep?
What do you mean?
Well, myself and
several other law officials
have been out there
digging up everything
within 500 feet of that tree,
and all we got to
show for is a tin can
and some rifle casings.
What are you talking about?
There's no body.
There's no sign of a
body ever being there.
That can't be.
I saw the hole with
my own two eyes.
The hole?
And the dirt was fresh.
On the phone, I asked
you specifically
if you had seen Cody's body,
and you told me that you had.
I know what I said.
They, they tried to
leave before this past time.
About a year ago.
Same thing with bus tickets.
Judging by your expression,
I'm guessing you didn't know.
Deep down, you had to
have known what was going on.
So why didn't you
just let them go?
Back when I was going
through my, my
troubles with Will,
I had this notion of if I
could get him to love me
like I loved him,
that it'd all be better.
That I'd be happy.
But that's not how
the world works.
There's a whole lot of
meaning and joy out there, John.
You just gotta find it.
Anyway.
You're free to go.
What?
There's no body,
there's no weapon,
and aside from a poorly
repaired bullet
hole in your wall,
there's no evidence that
a crime even transpired.
All we got's a
missing person case.
So, you just gonna let me walk?
Unless you want to
produce some concrete evidence
or sign a written confession.
Clearly there is
something that you want
or you wouldn't have
come back, so what is it?
Either way,
have a fine afternoon.
Rose.
I don't know what
I'm supposed to do.
Go home, John.
Or don't.
But you can't be here.
What's his name?
Baby.
You named your son Baby.
It's just until I come
up with something.
So after everything
that happened,
you still decided to
come live back here.
Yeah, it don't matter anymore.
Unless you want to
stop and see Rose,
tell her where Cody's at.
Thanks, but I'll pass.
You couldn't have
shown me his Grave?
Knowing you a decoy
seemed appropriate.
Besides, if that's
what you really wanted,
you'd have confessed.
(baby coos)
Hi Baby.
Hi, it's okay.
(baby coos)
Oh, I know.
I know.
It's cold in here.
There you go.
So what's your plan now?
At this one job, I
made pals with a lady
who's got this uncle in Chicago.
Guess he's just looking
for help in his company,
so that's where I'm going.
So what are you doing here?
I wanted to see
this whole place.
Why?
It was my home.
Wasn't ever your home, Sid,
and it was just some place
you were waiting to leave.
The thing I don't get is
when you bought the bus tickets,
why didn't you just go?
We've already been
through that, John.
No, not the first time.
Why did you marry me?
I mean, really?
I loved you,
and I was happy here.
What changed?
Things just became different.
You should've left.
I was scared of being alone.
You're many things, Sid.
Scared ain't one of them.
For a long time, I was scared.
I guess that's the
thing about all this.
It's helped me
broaden my horizons.
See, I don't need
to rely on anybody.
I am my own person.
Master of my domain,
and there is nothing I can't do.
So what do you want?
This thing in Chicago,
it's got real promise,
but it's gonna take me
a while to get set up,
so I was hoping
he could stay here for a while.
After everything,
you're asking me to
take care of your child.
I just want what's best for him.
And if I say no,
you gonna try and
shoot me again?
Do I have to?
Is there anything
else I can do for you?
Well, since you're asking,
I am a bit light on
cash at the moment,
so you can hand over that
rainy day fund you keep,
and don't bother
telling me you don't got one,
because I know you.
Say goodbye to your son.
You were a capable man, John.
You could do so much if
you just took one step
beyond what you know.
But if you haven't
done that by now,
I guess you never will.
(door creaking)
Hey, Sid.
(gun firing)
(gasping)
(coughing)
I guess you really are a killer.
[music]
[music]
(phone ringing)
Ray's, this is Ray.
Cody?
Let me know where
the hell Cody's at.
(groaning)
Wrap it up, God damn it.
Keep, just keep
going, keep going.
What, I was on break.
You got a phone call, Casanova.
Hello.
Hey, when did you get back?
Uh, yeah, all right.
Hey Ray, you mind
if I cut out early?
Hello, hello, hello.
John?
Well, well, well.
Don't mind if I do.
Hello little brother.
How was Cripple Creek?
Productive.
Good.
Yeah, that's good.
You know, I gotta
hand it to you.
If they sent me to half
the shitholes you go to,
I'd've lost my mind by now.
So now,
what is it that you want
to talk to me about?
Wanted to know when
you're leaving town.
Let me guess.
Pam told you.
Only thing bigger
than her goddamn tits
is her fucking mouth.
So where you two going?
Arizona.
Yeah.
Couple weeks back
Pam tells me she's
gonna go work for
her aunt there.
Got some kind of
textiles business.
And you know Pam, so of
course she asked me to go.
Do you remember father Mike?
What the fuck?
Father Mike?
- Mhm.
From when we were kids?
Yeah, that's right.
Sure.
Why?
He said something once that
pertains to this situation.
Go broke while you're
still breathing?
No.
He said, there comes a
moment when every person
must choose between
the light and the dark,
and I believe we've
arrived at that moment.
Seeing as how you're
my big brother, I'm
gonna let you
choose for us both.
Now this is exactly what
I am talking about John.
I'm leaving town, but
there ain't no need
for all this dramatic bullshit.
I know you're not
going to Arizona with Pam.
You're going to California,
with Sid.
Oh Jesus Christ, man.
Now you ought to
consider spending more
time closer to home.
Because right now you
sound paranoid as fuck.
Well, shit.
I told her not to
leave those in the house.
That you may be
coming home early.
But that wife of yours sure
likes to live on the edge.
Sorry.
Sorry for what?
For lying to my face?
I ain't lying.
You telling me you're going
to Arizona wasn't you lying?
Arizona is a cover story
and a cover story ain't lying.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Don't act like this is some
big fucking surprise, John.
You and I both known
Sidney since we were kids.
Yes, technically you
are married to her.
But that don't change the
past that she and I have.
How long you been screwing her?
This ain't about sex, John.
She don't want you no more.
Shut your mouth.
You shut your fucking mouth.
You want the truth?
Huh?
Well, the truth is
what you're going to get.
And she told me all about you.
How you don't talk to
her, you don't listen to her.
Hell, you don't even touch her.
My God, man.
How can you not constantly
want to ravish that woman?
A man that can't
please his wife?
Well, that ain't a man at all.
That's just some
pussy ass bitch.
Oh, okay.
All right, little brother.
You want to throw hands?
Huh?
Well, come on.
Let's go.
Oh, boy.
Well,
the truth is, John,
I did fuck Sidney.
That's right.
Right here on this table.
Yeah, I had her
making this face.
You know which one
I'm talking about, John?
No.
You probably don't.
Now, I've been getting over
on you since we were kids.
But you somehow
managed to marry Sid.
That is your one victory.
But that's it for now.
Because you ain't never
going to have her again.
You understand?
She is mine, and
there ain't a goddamn
thing you can do about it.
You understand me?
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm going to take a
piss in your sink.
Cody, Cody, Cody.
(heavy breathing)
What in the fuck are you doing?
(gun fires)
Boy, you are fucking worthless.
Fucking pathetic, you
couldn't hit water
if you fell out
of a fucking boat.
(gun fires)
You fucking shot me.
You really fucking shot me.
Oh, God.
That fucking hurts.
Fucking hurts.
What can I get for you?
What comes with the eggs?
Choice of bacon or
sausage and a side of toast.
Well, I think I'm
gonna get the burger
and your phone
number, sweetheart.
One burger coming right up.
(bell rings)
When'd you get back?
That really the question
you wanna ask me right now?
Um, guessin' you found
what was sitting on the dresser.
Well that's what I
love about you, Sid.
You've always been
a good guesser.
I wasn't gonna go.
You bought the tickets.
He insisted.
You seriously expect
me to believe that?
Yes.
Don't treat me like
a fucking idiot.
(clears throat)
You okay?
I'm fine.
You don't look fine.
I said I'm fine.
I take it you saw Cody.
I did.
And what did he say?
He said, that while you two
are conspiring to disappear,
you sealed the deal by
fucking right on the table
where we eat.
That's a lie.
You said you made the face.
What face?
The face you make.
How would he know that?
I don't know, maybe
he heard it from you.
Why would I tell him that?
Cause that's the type
of shit guys talk about.
You're a liar, Sid.
Don't call me that.
You're a brother fucking liar.
Don't ever say
something like that to me again.
I'm aware
The things haven't been
how you wanted them to be.
But if you would've just
waited a little bit longer,
we would've got rid of all this.
What do you mean?
Read it.
What is it?
The reason I came home early.
What does this mean?
Everything I've been
working towards.
I achieved something
that finally paid off
and get you out that
cafe and me off the road
and it's better hours,
better pay, a new town.
New town?
A job based in Cripple Creek.
John, I had no idea you
were even trying for this.
I wanted to surprise you.
Tell me you got a job
where we'd have to move
four hours north.
I mean, I'm pretty
fucking surprised.
Well, you don't
gotta worry about now
cause everything's fucked.
What are you doing?
I'm going over to
Cody's to wake his ass up
and that bastard
better thank his lucky stars
I don't got a gun.
He's here.
What do you mean?
He's in the bathroom.
(dramatic music)
(door creaks)
What did you do?
(door slams)
(rustling)
(gasping)
(gasping)
Help me.
- Okay, Okay, Okay.
Help.
I'm sorry.
(gasping)
(dramatic music)
(grunting)
(panting)
01:22:00,373 (dramatic music)
Fuck!
(grunting)
(chainsaw reving)
(engine starts up)
(engine reving)
(phone ringing)
(engine reving)
(phone ringing)
(phone ringing)
(phone ringing)
It's Cody, you know what to do.
(phone beeps)
(dramatic music)
(coughing)
(grunting)
(door slamming)
Fuck.
Oh my God.
(laughs)
You all right?
I got into a little
fight with my beau.
Bastard kicked me
out of the car.
Can I trouble you for a ride?
Sure, hop in.
Right up here is good.
You gonna be all right?
I'll be fine.
Thank you so much.
So, what do I get for
driving you out here?
The satisfaction of
knowing you helped a woman
in distress.
(laughs)
But for real.
What do I get?
You get to keep
your throat intact.
Hey.
(door slams)
(grunts )
(sighing)
Hi, Miss Laura.
Called about a critter?
Mm-hmm.
(door squeeks)
(door closes)
It's right down there.
You say you heard clawing?
Til about a half an hour ago.
Probably got out.
Either that or it came
across a business end
of Herb's old spring trap.
You see anything?
Might I trouble you
for a garbage bag?
You want some ice tea?
Only if you're having some.
So, how you been, Miss Laura?
Ah, been better.
Got lung cancer,
terminal, my doctor says.
I'm so sorry.
Don't be.
I never put much
stock in what doctors say.
How them parents of yours?
Your daddy's still
selling lawn mowers and such?
Uh, He's, uh, retired
several years now.
Huh, must be nice.
And that husband of yours?
Will and I actually
split up three months ago.
Oh, well he was a no
good shit anyways.
No offense.
And speaking of no good shits,
I heard Cody Carlson's
gone missing.
(phone ringing)
(phone ringing)
It's Cody, you know what to do.
Pam, where the hell is Cody at?
What do you mean?
He's over an hour
late for his shift
and the tap lines
are dirty again.
I couldn't tell you, sorry.
(engine revving)
Cody!
Cody!
(knocking)
Wake up, you sorry
piece of shit.
Motherfucker.
Sydney?
It's never been a big secret.
He's always had a thing for her.
Well I know they've
been friends a long while.
More than that's my guess.
Those three living
in close proximity,
disaster waiting to happen.
I'm sorry, is this something
that Sydney's
talked to you about?
That girl has always
had a dark streak.
Always pushing
things to the brink
just to see what'll happen.
And I'll tell you another thing,
it is plain as day to
anyone with half a brain
that she never loved
that husband of hers.
It's a shame too.
He's one of the few local
fellas who ain't a low life.
Even if he is an
underachieving drip.
Sheriff Vile.
Pardon me a moment.
This Rose.
The truck was found
abandoned off of 287.
Being registered
to Cody Carlson.
Well, there you go.
Cody didn't show up
before his shift today.
I waited on him, that
was my fire's ass.
He never showed.
So a couple hours ago
I went by his trailer
and it had been cleared out.
I mean the kid's an asshole,
he's always pulling
some kind of crap.
But I don't know, this
is something different.
When's the last
time you saw Cody?
Last night, when
he came into work.
But he got a call
and he left early.
Know who called him?
I'm not certain, I
think it was his brother.
I'll pay him a visit
after stopping by Cody's.
Say Ray, I'm sorry to interrupt,
the beer cooler is on the fritz.
Shit!
I Just paid to have it fixed.
I know, but it's warm.
Death by Ray's is
gonna be my epitaph.
If you'll accuse me.
Sheriff, I overheard
you talking to Ray
and I just thought
you should know that
Cody and I were
planning on going to Arizona.
Arizona?
You're gonna start a new life.
Bastard.
Hate him to death but I
still love him, you know?
If you don't mind my asking,
when's the last
time you saw Cody?
It was Monday night.
After he cut out
early, after my shift,
I went to his place
and he wasn't there
and his car was in
front of his brother's house.
And around what time was this?
A little for midnight.
That's very helpful, thank you.
(knocking on door)
Hi, Rose.
What can I do for you?
Hey, Sydney.
I was hoping to have a word.
Sure.
Come on in.
Can I get you a water
or a Coke or something?
I'm fine, but
if you don't mind,
I'd love to use your restroom.
Too much coffee.
Sure.
Just that door on your left.
Another hun?
Why do polar bears
have thick coats?
For protection.
(laughs)
That's not in the
house, darling.
Hey.
How you doing, fruit loop?
You think it's all right
to give my girl fuck me eyes?
Hmm?
Babe.
Shush.
The big dogs are talking.
Really not in the mood, guy.
He's not in the mood
anymore, I guess.
Huh?
You know,
I think it's in your
best interest that maybe you
give me a good reason
why I don't punch you
in the fucking face.
Huh?
(glass shatters)
Jesus Christ!
Get out of here!
Baby, are you all right?
Yeah!
Oh my God.
Am I bleeding?
Yeah, a lot.
Fuck!
I hate blood.
Oh.
John?
Yep.
Where are you?
It don't matter.
Are you coming back?
Yeah, ell, I've been
looking through the
papers and watching the news.
There's no story about Cody.
There's not gonna be.
Everything's handled.
How?
I'm not getting into specifics.
Just know I took care of it.
Now come on home.
Oh, shit.
Afternoon, John.
Hey, Rose.
I speeding or something?
Not that I saw.
What can I do for you then?
I was just hoping
to have a chat if it
wouldn't be an inconvenience.
Okay.
I just, uh,
gotta buy some milk
first, that's alright.
Sure.
Why don't you meet
me at the Main
Street Cafe when you're done.
I'll buy you a soda.
Let me know if I can
get you anything else.
Thank you.
Have you spoken to your wife?
Not in the past couple days.
Why? Is Syd okay?
No, yes, she's fine.
But it seems that your
brother has disappeared.
Disappeared?
Ray called me saying
he hadn't shown up
to work, so I went by his
place and it's all cleared out.
After I paid Sid a
visit, and she said
that he stopped by
late Monday night
talking about leaving.
Any idea where he went?
California.
I don't know where
specifically the
letter didn't specify.
He left a letter?
At his house made out to you.
Well, this is all quite a shock.
Why are you delivering
me this news?
What do you mean?
Well, I just don't
understand why you and
I are sitting here
talking about my
brother leaving by
his own volition.
Because there's inconsistencies.
Such as?
When I was at Ray's,
I ran into Pam, who
told me that she and
Cody were planning
on skipping off
together to Arizona.
He's probably just feeding
her a line to get in her pants.
That's certainly a
possibility, but, uh...
Well, except that
my deputies found
Cody's car on the
side of the road
outside Muddy Gap with
the license plate removed.
Which leads me to
think that maybe Cody
didn't put his truck there.
There was someone else.
Of course, you'd know
better than anyone
my brother's rubbed a lot of
folks around here the wrong way.
Personally, I've always
thought kindly of him.
Well, if he resurfaces,
you can tell him.
He'll resurface.
One way or another.
State troopers found his truck.
How do you know?
Because Rose told me so.
You talked to Sheriff Vile?
She followed me on
my way into town.
For all they know, Cody
could have left
the truck behind.
With the plates removed?
Jesus Christ, you
couldn't even get the
goddamn letter right.
What do you mean?
Cody was telling
people he was going to
Arizona, not California.
None of this even matters.
Without a body, they can't prove
anything, and they are
never going to find him.
You doing what you've done,
it makes you my accomplice.
I know.
So why'd you do it?
You're my husband.
Why are you packing?
I didn't know if you
were coming back.
Look, if I wasn't on
your side, why would
I go through all this trouble?
Why didn't I just
call up Sheriff Vile
and tell her everything
that happened?
Because I think you feel guilty.
Cody would have never
asked you to go to
California with him.
He was perfectly happy being a
waste of a person right here.
He wanted to leave.
No, but it wasn't his idea.
See, what I think
happened was, you asked
Cody to go with
you to California
because you wanted
to leave, but you
didn't want to go alone.
Isn't that right?
No.
Sure it is.
So you both ran off
and bought those tickets.
No.
But then you got cold feet.
- John, you have gone completely
sideways. - Didn't you?
Didn't you?
Listen to me.
You almost got away with it.
If you would have
returned the tickets
then I wouldn't have found out.
Maybe I didn't want
to get away with it.
You ever think of that?
So what? You wanted
me to kill Cody?
I just wanted to make
something happen to
force a decision.
Look, I'm not saying
this situation isn't bad.
I'm just saying we have options.
You have the Cripple Creek job.
I'm not going four
hours up the road with
this hanging over our heads.
Fine, then let's
disappear right now.
Just run away and
never come back.
Where would we go?
California.
Are you fucking crazy?
Fine, then anywhere.
Anywhere.
What's the alternative?
Stay here, just sit
around and wait to get caught,
or you go off
somewhere by yourself.
We both know you
wouldn't last a month alone.
You love me.
Otherwise, you wouldn't
have come back.
And now, you and I
are in this together.
I need you.
I'll go with you
on one condition.
Anything.
Tell me the truth
about you and Cody.
What truth?
Did you have sex with him?
No.
Don't lie.
John, I swear to you on my life,
I swear to you on
my life, I did not.
Take me to where you buried him.
Why?
Because I want to
know where he is.
Finish packing.
We leave in fifteen.
For what it's worth,
I'm sorry.
[door knocking]
Can I help you?
We're here about the apartment.
So, this is the
living, dining, kitchen area.
And over there is
the bed and the bath.
So, the listing said
this place is five hundred,
and the lease is
on a monthly basis.
Yep.
Say, are we close to the water?
No, ma'am.
But there's a painting
of the beach on the wall.
Anyways, this unit
just opened up,
and believe it or not,
places in this building
tend to go real quick.
So, are we doing this or what?
Okay.
Alright.
Let's get started
on this paperwork.
I just need a name,
phone number, date of
birth, social security number.
Well, I'm sorry.
What do you need all that for?
In case we need to
do a credit check.
Oh, well, we're paying cash, so.
You still got to fill
out the paperwork.
It's not even for me.
It's for the owner, my uncle.
He doesn't even look at it.
It just sits in a
drawer collecting dust.
Shoot.
It's two.
I got to call that guy.
You know where there's a
payphone or something nearby?
You don't have a cell?
No, sir.
Oh, if you need to
use a phone, there's
one in my office you can use.
No, I hate to put you out.
Oh, no, no. It's no trouble.
It's just, uh...
Down the hall, down the
stairs, second
door on the right.
Should be open.
It's fine. I can handle this.
Just make your call.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
So you folks are from Oklahoma?
What makes you say that?
I saw the plates on your truck.
You're an observant
one, aren't you?
That's part of my job.
Where in OK you two from?
Just a tiny little place.
How tiny?
If you blinked, you'd miss it.
What brings you here?
Just felt like the time
to start something new.
Did you find work yet?
What's it to you?
I like to know if my
tenants have employment.
Well, I saw a little
cafe a couple blocks down
with a help wanted
sign in the window.
You're talking about Maria's.
Oh, you know it?
It's the best mole
in the neighborhood.
I'm surprised you'd
wanna work there.
Why?
Maria's is very
Mexican and you're very not.
(laughing)
Well, life's all about
embracing new things, right?
Thank you again.
Oh, thank you.
Your wife and I were
just getting acquainted.
What did the guy say?
Meeting him in 30 minutes.
So we done here or what?
Yep, just finishing up now.
There you go.
All right, great.
Now I just need the
500 for the rent
and another 250 for the deposit.
Listing didn't say
anything about a deposit.
Oh, a deposit is standard.
Are you sure there isn't
anything you can do for us?
I'll tell you what.
Since the two of you are
paying cash, I'll go 150.
We appreciate that.
Woo, you two rob a liquor store?
Just in between banks.
All right.
Thank you kindly,
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.
Let me get your key here.
All right.
There you go.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
Or as the folks around
here say, bienvenidos.
Johnson.
Yeah, I wasn't gonna
use our real name.
What all did you write exactly?
I don't know, I
just made shit up.
You made shit up?
Yes, John, I made shit up.
Is there an echo in here?
Jesus Christ.
What's the problem?
Do I have to spell
it out for you?
He's not gonna check up on us.
He said that himself.
The guy is strange.
And the way he was
eyeing our roll?
I mean, if you didn't
want him eye in a roll,
maybe you shouldn't
have whipped it out
like a street corner pimp.
John, come on, we paid cash,
so there's no reason
for him to follow up.
And even if he does,
we'll just pack up
and move on to the next place.
No, I don't want us
falling into our old patterns.
We won't.
Hey, we won't, okay?
John Johnson?
Come on, you gotta admit,
it has a nice ring to it.
John Johnson.
Mm-hmm.
It's ridiculous.
I thought you'd like it.
I gotta go meet that
guy about the job.
But when I come back,
We'll go get dinner
or something.
Okay.
All right.
Not working today?
I got the afternoon off.
You going someplace?
Not that it's any
of your business,
but I'm meeting my
husband at the lake.
Taking the bus?
That was my plan.
I mean, unless you
wanna give me a ride.
I would.
But I got my rounds.
Well,
Some other time then.
Do you ever think
about being a dad?
It's okay if you don't.
I was just wondering.
What about, what about you?
I've never thought
about being a dad.
You know what I meant.
I don't know.
I mean, the idea of
being a mom does scare me, but
women have been
doing it for ages, right?
Yeah.
What do you think
about us trying?
For a baby?
Now that we're in a new place,
I just was thinking
it might be a good time
for us to do that.
I know you'd make
a great father.
I'm not trying to push.
I just thought that...
It's fine.
It's fine.
You know, it's just
I think
you know, for the first
time that I can remember,
I might
actually be happy.
Why do you say that
like it's a bad thing?
Because after what I've done,
how do I deserve that?
John, you were fighting
for your family.
Is that what we are?
We have never been more of
a family than we are now.
I'm a killer.
Once you cross that line,
there ain't no going back.
You are a good man,
John.
And this is our second chance.
Let's just put the past to bed.
Start the next chapter.
Come on.
Come on, I wanna
show you something.
Where are we going?
You need to come
with me to find out.
What are you doing?
I miss you.
Uh-huh.
And where was that again?
Coolio.
I owe you big time, bro.
Frontier Times.
Hi, I'm looking for
a story your paper
may have written recently.
If it got written, I wrote it.
Mr. Johnson?
It's Wade, the building manager.
What can I do for you?
Water's leaking through the
ceiling of the unit below.
I gotta check the pipes.
Jesus Christ.
We don't have a leak.
All the same, if I
could just check it myself,
you'd be doing me a big favor.
My uncle's been
straight up my ass about it.
Sure.
Thank you.
The last thing I wanna do
is interrupt your evening.
Mr. Johnson.
Oh, it's fine.
I'm just getting home from work.
On that note, I will
check out the bathroom.
What's for dinner?
Burrito from Maria's?
Good guess.
Nice.
Maria's sure does
make good burritos.
I always get mine with
extra jalapenos and guac.
You get it from the wifey?
I know I'd love to
get my dinner from her.
Are we done here or what?
I just have to check
out the kitchen.
(whistling)
She is dry as a desert.
What, do I have goop on my face?
Notice you're carrying.
Carrying?
Oh, the gun.
Granted, I never had to use it.
I just feel better
knowing that I have it.
Especially when I think
I'm dealing with someone
who's not being
straight with me.
What about you?
What about me?
You got a gun?
Wade,
I think you need to
go check on that leak
before it does any more damage.
Yeah, so there isn't
actually a water leak.
Truth is, I've been real
curious about you and your wife,
John Carlson of
Kendrick, Oklahoma.
One heart for me to
figure out who you were.
My pal of mine down at
the DMV ran the plates
and then I found that
story about your brother
disappearing.
Huh.
Of course, the lady who
worked at the newspaper
that I got it from said
that it's highly probable
you murdered him.
We don't want any trouble.
Well, that's a relief,
because I don't want
any trouble either.
When you arrived last week,
it looked like you
were carrying about 8K.
And that wad of yours,
you give me that and we're good.
I don't have it.
Oh, of course you don't.
It's in a PO box
over in Oaklawn.
This time of night,
to the post office and back
takes about 30 minutes.
So I'll expect you
back here around eight.
Oh, also I'm gonna need
to hang onto your wallet
while you're gone.
All right, how about
you go fuck yourself?
You go down on your
wife with that mouth.
I will get off two
rounds before you take a step.
Back home, I'm sure
you considered yourself
some kind of a tough
dude, but here I'm the chief.
Now give me the fucking wallet.
Slow.
Oh, congrats by the way.
The fuck you talking about?
The bun in the oven.
Oh.
You didn't know.
Huh.
Huh.
I guess that's why your wife
threw this test in the garbage.
Keep that.
Babe?
Hey.
Uh, Maria let me off early, so.
What's wrong?
He knows.
What?
Wade saw a story about Cody.
Well, did you see it?
What is it you don't understand?
He knows.
Okay.
Let's, Let's get out of here.
We can't.
Why not?
Because you took my wallet
and he ain't gonna give it back
until I give him all our money.
You gave him your wallet?
He had a gun.
Oh, so what?
You're just gonna
lay down and take it.
That's funny where
it's coming from you.
What the hell is that?
Wade fished it out
of the garbage.
John, I've never
seen that before.
And all that yesterday,
about you wanting a baby.
That was all coincidence.
God damn it, for once.
Just tell me the truth.
Fine.
It's your brother's.
You happy?
I'll be back.
Don't open the door.
(knocking)
Hi.
Come on in.
Now, I'm aware of
what's going on
and while I am not
very happy about it,
it does confirm my suspicions.
Suspicions?
I just mean it illuminates
your powers of observation.
You know, you saw we stuck out,
so you did some checking up
and that's when you
stumbled upon my little clue,
the paperwork.
I don't understand.
Well, I did that in the
hopes that you dig deeper.
You and your husband
are murderers.
(laughs)
Mmm.
I'm gonna let you in on
a little secret, Wade.
John's brother is not dead.
I mean, sure, maybe
everybody back
home thinks he is,
but the truth is, he
just skipped town.
Why?
Because he and I had relations.
John was so mad
when he found out
he was gonna kill his
brother, so, so he ran.
So you're trying to tell me
that you two are not on the run.
Oh, no, we most certainly are,
just not for the
reason that you think.
See, that money you're
trying to get from us,
that ain't ours.
That's Big Billy's,
biggest meth dealer
in Northeast Oklahoma.
And when we tell him,
he is gonna blow out
here like a tornado
and burn this whole place
to the ground with you in it.
But,
there is another
way this could go.
Oh, come on.
Don't be coy.
I know you like me.
When I'm at work, I can see
you out there watching me.
Let me ask you something, Wade.
Why do you never come
inside and talk to me?
Is it that I'm married?
Or that you're shy?
Oh, I know.
You think I'm out of
your league, don't you?
No.
So I'm wrong on that.
Yes.
Hmm.
Yes, I'm wrong, or
yes, you
think I'm out of your league.
Yes, you're wrong about that.
When you're out
there in your truck,
you touch yourself, don't you?
I gotta tell you, Wade,
when I see you out
there, it is the
highlight of my day.
All I wanna do is go out
there and take
care of you myself.
What about,
No, we'll hear his
car, it's fine.
It's fine.
(screaming)
(screaming)
(screaming)
(screaming)
(screaming)
(screaming)
(screaming)
Where's the wallet?
Wade, Wade, where is
the fucking wallet?
Ah, it's in my,
it's in my,
my pants.
(screaming)
(door slams)
Found your wallet.
What did you do?
What does it look like?
It looks like you
bit Wade's dick off.
No, not completely.
I'm going back, I'm
gonna turn myself in.
You can't do that.
Oh, watch me.
Hey, not another step.
You gonna shoot me now?
If I have to.
Then do it.
Because I'd rather die than
spend another goddamn moment
in this insanity.
You and I have known one
another most of our lives.
And over the years
we've treated each other
with mutual respect, yes.
So why are you dropping this
pile of crap on my doorstep?
What do you mean?
Well, myself and
several other law officials
have been out there
digging up everything
within 500 feet of that tree,
and all we got to
show for is a tin can
and some rifle casings.
What are you talking about?
There's no body.
There's no sign of a
body ever being there.
That can't be.
I saw the hole with
my own two eyes.
The hole?
And the dirt was fresh.
On the phone, I asked
you specifically
if you had seen Cody's body,
and you told me that you had.
I know what I said.
They, they tried to
leave before this past time.
About a year ago.
Same thing with bus tickets.
Judging by your expression,
I'm guessing you didn't know.
Deep down, you had to
have known what was going on.
So why didn't you
just let them go?
Back when I was going
through my, my
troubles with Will,
I had this notion of if I
could get him to love me
like I loved him,
that it'd all be better.
That I'd be happy.
But that's not how
the world works.
There's a whole lot of
meaning and joy out there, John.
You just gotta find it.
Anyway.
You're free to go.
What?
There's no body,
there's no weapon,
and aside from a poorly
repaired bullet
hole in your wall,
there's no evidence that
a crime even transpired.
All we got's a
missing person case.
So, you just gonna let me walk?
Unless you want to
produce some concrete evidence
or sign a written confession.
Clearly there is
something that you want
or you wouldn't have
come back, so what is it?
Either way,
have a fine afternoon.
Rose.
I don't know what
I'm supposed to do.
Go home, John.
Or don't.
But you can't be here.
What's his name?
Baby.
You named your son Baby.
It's just until I come
up with something.
So after everything
that happened,
you still decided to
come live back here.
Yeah, it don't matter anymore.
Unless you want to
stop and see Rose,
tell her where Cody's at.
Thanks, but I'll pass.
You couldn't have
shown me his Grave?
Knowing you a decoy
seemed appropriate.
Besides, if that's
what you really wanted,
you'd have confessed.
(baby coos)
Hi Baby.
Hi, it's okay.
(baby coos)
Oh, I know.
I know.
It's cold in here.
There you go.
So what's your plan now?
At this one job, I
made pals with a lady
who's got this uncle in Chicago.
Guess he's just looking
for help in his company,
so that's where I'm going.
So what are you doing here?
I wanted to see
this whole place.
Why?
It was my home.
Wasn't ever your home, Sid,
and it was just some place
you were waiting to leave.
The thing I don't get is
when you bought the bus tickets,
why didn't you just go?
We've already been
through that, John.
No, not the first time.
Why did you marry me?
I mean, really?
I loved you,
and I was happy here.
What changed?
Things just became different.
You should've left.
I was scared of being alone.
You're many things, Sid.
Scared ain't one of them.
For a long time, I was scared.
I guess that's the
thing about all this.
It's helped me
broaden my horizons.
See, I don't need
to rely on anybody.
I am my own person.
Master of my domain,
and there is nothing I can't do.
So what do you want?
This thing in Chicago,
it's got real promise,
but it's gonna take me
a while to get set up,
so I was hoping
he could stay here for a while.
After everything,
you're asking me to
take care of your child.
I just want what's best for him.
And if I say no,
you gonna try and
shoot me again?
Do I have to?
Is there anything
else I can do for you?
Well, since you're asking,
I am a bit light on
cash at the moment,
so you can hand over that
rainy day fund you keep,
and don't bother
telling me you don't got one,
because I know you.
Say goodbye to your son.
You were a capable man, John.
You could do so much if
you just took one step
beyond what you know.
But if you haven't
done that by now,
I guess you never will.
(door creaking)
Hey, Sid.
(gun firing)
(gasping)
(coughing)
I guess you really are a killer.
