[overlapping conversations]
Sounds good.
[man 1] All right.
That was so much fun,
man, I got two.
Last night I got two shots.
Bullseye, baby.
[woman] Hey, girl,
What can I get you,
sweetie?
Surprise me.
I need a shot of tequila
and some beer, please.
Here.
And your tequila.
I went out with this guy.
Ice cold, honky ass
white boy beer
and your tequila.
My favorite.
Okay, daddy, you let
me know if you need
anything else, okay?
I'm...
I'm-- I'm looking
for somebody.
Who are you looking for?
A white boy named Jenson?
Hm. Don't ring a bell,
but I can go ask around
if you want.
No. No, fuck, no.
No, he's not Jenson.
I'm sorry. It's-- It's--
It's Jensen.
-Jensen.
-All right, I'll see.
No, no, no, no, no.
-[man] Come over here
for a second.
-Um...
Do you know him?
I don't...
I don't think I do.
You know him because
you've been fucking him.
What do you want?
-Same here.
-I want to see you.
I'm busy, okay?
We're friends.
That's all.
We used to hang out.
Sit down.
Don't make a scene.
Nobody cares.
Come on, sit down.
Don't worry.
Nothing's gonna happen.
Come on.
[man] Hey, what about
another tequila shot?
Hey, doll,
get us two more tequilas.
You're pretty.
You know you are.
You are.
But you shouldn't
believe the lies.
You shouldn't believe
the lies, the bullshit.
The bullshit.
People play games
and they pretend
they're something else.
But deep down
in the dark,
the quiet...
we all know we are alone.
Yes.
Did you know that your
friend is fucking up with me?
Please stop.
Stop? Stop what?
Whatever this is,
I don't know anything
about anything.
[laughing]
Ah! You don't know
anything about anything?
No?
You know what, baby girl?
I know a lot of things.
A lot of things.
Hm! A lot of things.
I know your name.
I know your address.
I know the people
you love and care.
I know, I know,
I know everything.
Lizzie.
We are who we are.
Animals, animals, animals.
And this place
is the wild, wild west.
It's a dangerous place.
It is very dangerous.
Pay attention, Lizzie,
pay attention.
Pay attention.
You feel that?
You feel it?
It's a switchblade.
My thumb's right on the button
that trips the spring.
You think your boy will keep
coming back by your place
if I open you up,
if I pull your guts
inside out?
Please stop.
Your friend doesn't know
who he is out here.
People forget sometimes.
And that is how
they got hurt.
That is how
they got hurt.
Lizzie, I could
paint a portrait,
beautiful portrait
with your blood.
And I would not even remember
your face the next day.
What do you want?
You go
and tell your friend
that I want back
all he stole from me.
Huh? Could you do that?
Good girl.
Good girl, Lizzie.
Now finish your shift.
Go home,
find Jensen for me.
But don't run
and don't hide.
Rabbit, you can't
get away from me.
You know why?
I am the fucking king.
Now you can go.
Go, go, go, go, go.
A fucking king.
[insects chirping]
[door slams]
You got a problem,
motherfucker?
I'm talking to you, chico.
Chico!
[grunting]
[grunts softly]
[]
All right?
[sizzling]
-[Tag] Bo?
-Yeah.
[grunts softly]
[Bowdrie] Lord, thank you
for this day
and for this food.
And she who made it.
Lord, forgive us our wrongs.
And please help us
to forgive those
who wronged us.
Guide us, O Lord,
that Your will be
done always.
In Christ's name we pray.
Amen.
Dive in.
Amen.
[grunts, exhales]
[indistinct conversation
on TV]
[voices overlapping

[gunshot]
[door creaking]
-[exhales]
-[Tag] Night, Bo.
Night, kid.
[sighs heavily]
[praying inaudibly]
Amen.
[soft country music
playing over radio]
I've been working
So hard...
[radio station scrambles]
[song continues
over speakers]
[music continues over radio]
[paper rustling]
[Tag chuckles softly]
[sighs]
[birds chirping]
[fishing line reeling]
[door creaks]
[Bowdrie] Hey.
[door closes]
[grunts softly]
Hey, how much
for this push mower?
How much for Bill's
old mower, Ed?
[Ed] Oh, shit.
That mower don't mow.
It don't run.
Well, it should be
cheap, then.
How much, Ed?
Blade don't turn.
Brand spanking new blade,
but it don't turn.
I like to piddle.
[Ed sighs]
I can do you 45.
I'll give you 20.
This business
is gonna kill me.
I take it
that's a "Yes, 20."
[birds chirping]
[woman] Help! Help!
[gun cocks]
[]
-[sighs softly]
-[door creaks]
[grunts softly]
Tag.
[]
Hey, baby. You around?
[door clicks open]
[rapid footsteps approaching]
I found something.
[Tag panting]
[water gushing]
-Over there.
-Okay.
Oh, boy.
[sighs]
[shuddering]
Okay.
You're safe.
I gotta move you.
[groaning]
All right, we got you.
Okay. All right.
Uh...
Give me the heavy blanket.
-She needs to
go to a hospital.
-Oh, yeah.
Look, I know it hurts.
I'm gonna have to look.
Okay, honey?
Okay. I'm sorry.
Oh, my goodness.
Baby, I'm gonna
need some rags,
some alcohol,
some hot water.
Keep you warm.
Oh!
I have to turn you over
and look at the back. Okay?
-Okay.
-[groans]
[continues groaning]
[sighs]
Okay. In and out.
Passed right through.
Here, let's get you warm.
[gasping]
[stuttering]
No hospital.
Please.
Please.
We'll see. We'll see.
All right, let me get you.
Honey, could you hurry
up with that stuff?
Look at me. I need to
keep some pressure
on here, okay?
-I'm sorry.
-[high-pitched scream]
Okay. All right.
Oh, baby.
Wet rag. Yeah.
Okay. Okay.
Okay. Get the kit
above the refrigerator.
Okay. All right.
Help me out with this. What?
Drag that.
I'll turn her over.
Oh. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
-What happened?
-[Bowdrie] Oh!
She got shot
through the back,
and it went straight
through the front.
Nothing vital, I think.
Um, I'm gonna need
to clean this, pack it.
It's gonna get pretty
screamy in here,
so either get tough
or get out, okay?
I am sorry about this,
I am sorry.
[high-pitched scream]
[wind whistling]
[grunts softly]
Can we still take her
to the hospital?
[Bowdrie sighs]
She practically
begged me not to,
but I think we should.
Let's think about it.
Bullet holes make questions
that'll bring the law.
Is she gonna live?
Well, it takes an awful lot
to kill a person.
She lost a mess of blood,
though.
I've seen worse.
[grunts softly]
It's-- It's chicken soup.
You're gonna be okay.
I promise.
[Bowdrie] Hey.
You did good today.
You were strong.
You too.
I gotta go into town
again tomorrow.
Get more medicine
and whatnot.
It'd be a good idea
if you didn't go
fishing for a while.
You get me?
Stick around the house.
-Yes, sir.
-Got to leave early.
So, just keep her in bed.
Give her a bunch of liquids.
Hey, we don't know her,
so we don't trust her.
Okay?
Night, Bo.
Night.
[]
[firewood crackling]
[grunts softly]
[groans]
Huh?
Good morning.
Did you handcuff me?
What did you do that for?
We don't know you.
[sighs]
[grunting]
[coughing]
Bo told me
that if you tried to move,
I'd have to shoot you.
I'm just kidding.
[chuckles nervously]
[exhales heavily]
I'm Tag.
Hi.
I'm January.
[indistinct conversations]
-[sighs]
-Hey, there.
There you go.
[scanner beeping]
Well, would you look at that?
That brings back old memories.
Good choice.
That'll be 38.99.
[siren blaring]
[Brake] Put the condoms down.
Now, why'd I do that?
Keeps your wife's
lipstick off of me.
[chuckles]
Well, how you doing, ugly?
What, you really wanna know
or are you shitting me?
I'm just shittin'.
Hey, you got time for a bite?
We're going to Lucille's.
No, I got some
errands to run.
All right. Well, hey,
this is Davenport,
fresh from Tulsa.
-Hey.
-This is Bowdrie.
He's trouble.
River folk.
Yeah. Don't take
the wrong turn.
[Brake] We go way back.
Hey, uh-- Hey,
you bag anything worth
bragging about yet?
Oh, Tag got one
a couple of days back.
-Big?
-Big enough to eat.
I went out the other morning.
I didn't see nothing.
That's 'cause they
saw you first.
Gotta sneak up on em.
[Brake] How's the kiddo?
I think she'll outlive me.
All right, well,
you keep on keeping on,
and, I'll probably come
see you sometime.
-I get bored enough.
-You bet.
-All right, well,
see you, big man.
-See you.
Keep your nose clean.
[door creaks]
[sighs]
[knocking]
[Tag] Did you see that
January has tattoos?
Let me get me that
5/16th over there.
Thanks.
Did my mom have tattoos?
She had a few.
They were all kind
of run together.
She had a lot, actually.
I used to think that
they looked kind of weird,
but I think
January's look cool.
Did you see it?
Yeah.
Don't you go
getting any ideas.
Oh, that's not gonna work.
No.
[faucet running]
[switch flicks]
[Bowdrie sighs]
You're gonna live.
[January sighs]
How long have I been here?
A couple of days now.
[grunts]
Who are you?
My name is January Evers.
You think you can tell me
what happened?
[sighs]
They took me.
I was just coming
home from the gym.
I just walked into
my apartment,
and they were there.
[January] Lizzie.
Liz was hurt.
[high-pitched scream]
They beat the shit
out of me.
-[thug grunts]
-[thud]
Just heard 'em screaming about
some guy who was his friend.
And that they had stolen
something from them.
He took us,
put us in a car,
drove us,
I don't know how long.
Car stops.
[sobbing]
They pulled us out.
[January shudders]
She told them she
didn't know anything.
[stream gushing]
-They shot her.
-[Lizzie] No, no, no, no.
-[January] Lizzie!
-[gunshot]
No!
[sighs]
And I left her there,
I just started running.
I broke free,
and I just, uh, I...
I heard the shot.
I felt it, I fell over
this bridge
by the water, and...
[January sighs]
I heard them
looking for me.
So I crawled
into the water
and just held my breath
for as long as I could.
The last thing
that I remember
is them saying
that I must be dead,
and they left.
[sniffles]
Tell me about the other girl.
[sniffles]
Liz. Uh... Elizabeth.
She was my best friend.
[exhales]
She was my only friend.
[grunts softly]
[grunts softly]
-[sighs]
-[door opens]
-Where the hell
have you been?
-Oh, I took a walk.
Figured I'd give
the season a final look.
Why didn't you tell me?
Well, you talk too much.
I needed some quiet.
-Where did you go?
-Nowhere.
You know,
around the woods.
What the hell?
Where were you?
I'm gonna need
to run back into town again.
-You just went.
-Yeah, well,
I need to go again.
I need to pick up some
spark plugs for that mower.
And why don't you get
to your schoolwork?
-I was about to go
looking for you.
-Tag.
Stay near the house.
All right?
-Yes, sir.
-How's she doing?
She's sleeping.
Good. I won't be long.
[gun clicks]
What is-- What is it?
[sighs]
What's what, kid?
You don't go to town
this much,
and we're not gonna
use that lawnmower
for another four months.
I mean, you say yourself that
people live season to season.
This ain't like you.
Eventually we're going to have
to take her back into town.
-To the hospital.
-Why?
Because there's nothing
more we can do for her.
You said that she
was healing up and she
didn't want to go.
-And then you agreed--
-Yeah, I know what I said.
Well, that's bullshit.
Yeah, it is. Come here.
[sighs]
But it's necessary bullshit.
Right now you're gonna
keep tugging on the sweater.
I'm gonna drag
you right into it.
There's a dead woman
in the river down there.
I just saw her, all tangled up
in the branches and left to rot.
Somebody shot her
right in the face,
blew her brains out,
dumped her in the water.
Now, do you think our
newfound friend in here,
in our home, might
have been shot by
the same fellas,
left her for dead?
What do you figure they'll do
if they find out she's alive?
Come back here
and get her is what.
The world is full of ugly
people doing ugly things.
Some horrible shit you can't
even wrap your head around.
It's just the nature
of the beast.
Get back in the house, tool up,
and lock all the doors.
-Okay, baby?
-Yes, sir.
-Okay.
-[door creaks]
-[sighs]
-[line ringing]
[dispatch]
Antler Sheriff Station,
may I help you?
Hello?
Could you do something
for me?
I gotta go to the bathroom.
[]
[grunts softly]
[Tag] Are you okay in there?
Just need a sec.
-Oh.
-I think I need to sit down.
[January groans]
[breathing heavily]
You're pretty.
-I don't feel too pretty.
-You are.
Just going through
a hard time right now.
My mom was pretty.
Where is your mom?
She died when I was little.
But he says
she didn't hurt, so...
That's the way it goes.
Life's hard.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about your friend.
Bo told me.
Me too.
Do you want your tea?
Sure.
Where is your dad?
Bo? He, uh...
He went to town.
Bo?
Yeah.
His name's Bowdrie,
but I call him Bo.
His old man was a huge fan
of Louis L'Amour.
You ever heard of him?
Oh, he's like
this old cowboy writer.
He wrote a bunch
of Western stories.
Anyway. There's this character
in one of them named Bowdrie.
And Pa-paw liked it
so much that he stole it.
So it's...
it's an homage.
Why not call him Dad?
I just always called him Bo,
I guess.
I mean, that that is his name.
What about Tag?
What is that from?
He says that momma used
to always call me his--
his tag along.
And I like that more than my
other name, so it stuck.
[chuckles softly]
[grunts softly]
[leaves rustling]
-Uh...
-What is it?
Nothing, I'm just--
I thought I...
It's all good.
[sighs heavily]
Oh, hey. You're up.
-Yeah.
-Good.
Are you mad at me?
No.
She had to go
to the bathroom.
I was trying
to do your sheets a favor.
Gee, thanks a lot, Tag.
Well, like I said,
we don't know her.
I know her.
Why don't you go
and get washed for dinner?
[Bowdrie] Lord,
we thank You for this food
and this warm home.
We ask Your forgiveness
just like we forgive others.
We ask for guidance, Lord.
But above all,
Your will be done.
Nothing more, nothing less.
In your name. Amen.
-[girls] Amen.
-Right.
[sighs]
Hey!
Hey!
Thank you.
Yeah. You got a ways to go,
but you'll be fine.
I've seen much worse.
Smoke?
Yeah.
-It's cold.
-Yeah.
It's gonna be
a hard winter.
[Tag] Night, Bo.
Night, kid.
[Tag] Night, January.
Good night.
-She's sweet.
-Yeah, she's all right.
What are you gonna do?
I'll take you
into town tomorrow.
They got a clinic in Antlers.
They'll take
good care of you there.
Okay.
[]
[music playing
over speakers]
[knocking on door]
Hey, yo, Alejandro.
-Yeah, baby.
-[door opens]
It's Irish.
They just brought Jensen in.
Can you feel that?
What a stupid mistake.
Fucking stupid.
Are you stupid?
-I didn't tell anyone.
I swear.
-Yeah, you did.
You know you're fucking dead.
-Pay attention.
-Okay.
[siren wailing
in the distance]
Why did you do it?
I was coming back.
I was coming back.
-I swear.
-Why did you fucking do it?
-Look at me.
-I...
I can explain this.
All of it.
[Irish] Good luck
explaining this.
Did you get my shit?
No, I fucking did
what I was told to do.
All right?
This is just
a misunderstanding.
They're putting it on me, man.
But it's just...
It's a mis--
It's a misunderstanding.
Look at me.
Look at me.
-[blow lands]
-[exclaims]
-Damn!
-That was a nice hit.
All right, cowboy.
Get up now.
The Academy taught you better
than that, boy.
You a tough guy.
Hang in there.
[Jensen] I swear to you,
I swear I did the drop.
[coughing, spitting]
I did the drop.
And it wasn't light, man,
it wasn't like. I swear.
Running for me is like
running from God.
I have eyes everywhere.
So what do you
want to do now?
Did you get the wife?
In the trunk...
-[muffled screaming]
-...with the kid.
[Alejandro] You hear that?
We got your wife.
We got your fucking wife.
Tell me. Tell me.
[sighs]
Tell me...
Tell me.
What is her name?
-[muffled screaming]
-[metallic thud]
Laney. Laney.
Laney?
[speaking in Spanish]
And Laney
won't like it at first.
She'll try to fight it.
[Jensen sobbing]
I was...
poor, abandoned, lost.
Orphan...
Going to the worst.
the worst place
you could ever imagine.
-[sighs]
-Ever.
I'm gonna do to her
what those people did to me.
Inside.
Please. Please.
I'm sorry, man,
I fucked up.
I fucked up.
I know it's my fault.
Don'-- Don't hurt them.
Please, God.
You smell like death.
You don't have to do nothing.
No, I can--
I can still...
No, I can still help you,
I can--
[Alejandro] We took care
of your little lover.
[Jensen] I can drive,
I can make the runs,
I can...
-Please.
-Now it's your turn.
-Oh, God.
-Stop.
No! God! No!
[sobbing]
No more suffering.
Coward!
-[drill whirring]
-[Jensen screaming] No!
[high-pitched scream]
Hm... January is sleeping.
Well, that's good.
That's God's medicine.
That's what you Pa-paw
always used to say.
Yes, sir.
Speaking of old guys,
you ought to ride up
to old Whitehorse's,
see if he's okay.
I haven't seen him
for a few days.
I thought I was supposed
to stay around the house.
You're going the opposite way
away from the river,
so I figure it'd be all right.
I'll take the truck.
Oh, no, I need the truck.
-You need it?
-Mm-hm.
It looks like rain.
Well, you could use the shower.
Anyway, the fork's low,
apple butter.
Might as well treat myself
on my birthday.
-Which birthday again?
-Who's counting?
You better slow down
on them birthdays.
You'd be 42 by next month.
[]
[door clicks open]
I'm ready.
It's gonna be all right,
you know.
[]
[siren wailing]
You may want
to stay inconspicuous.
I'll be right back.
Can't resist
the smell of bacon.
What's going on?
This world
ain't right for it.
Body washed up down the river.
Just got the call.
One of our boys.
Oh, yeah. County.
Which one?
Name o' Jensen. Deputy.
Three years.
They tortured him
with a drill.
Dozen holes in him.
Beaten, shot, dropped
in the upper river last night.
-Yeah. Sorry.
-The wife and kid...
Missing. Can't even get 'em
on the phone.
Have you seen anything
weird out there?
You've been down at the Fork?
Nothing.
It's all pretty quiet.
This morning,
body of an Antler's girl
got caught in the trotline
down at Broken Bow Lake.
Shot in the head.
Looks like she came
up through the Fork.
Through the delta,
caught in the shallows.
Turns out she disappeared
from her apartment
a few nights back.
Roommate's gone missing too.
She turn up yet?
God, no. Hope she's alive.
[Bowdrie] Right.
Yeah.
[Brake] Word is,
the Brotherhood
and the cartel
have joined forces
here in town.
You don't want to mess
with these breed of people.
-Bad dudes.
-I'm planning on it.
You see anything upriver?
Yeah, I found some tracks.
Might be something.
Bit of a hike, though.
About a mile or so.
Do me a favor.
Keep Tag off the river
till we get this settled.
[Bowdrie] Yeah.
-[Brake] People are crazy.
-[Bowdrie] Yeah.
[Brake] Fucking Brotherhood,
cartels.
Indians, Russians
running heroin, meth.
Fuck!
People now, kids.
It's all gone to shit.
Hm.
[Brake] What you got there?
[Bowdrie] Oh, yeah.
She's a niece
from out of town.
She's come to visit Tag
for her birthday.
-Do yourself a favor.
-Mm-hm.
Get the hell out of here.
Good advice. Good luck.
What the hell's going on?
[Bowdrie]
I'm getting the sense you're
not telling me everything.
[engine turning over]
What do you know about
this crew here in town?
This Brotherhood?
[January]
I don't know them...
but I saw their face.
[Lizzie] I don't know.
I don't know.
He didn't tell me.
[Irish] That's a real
fucking problem.
I swear to you, I swear.
He's married.
We haven't talked.
Fuck. Make the call.
[Lizzie] No. No, no, no.
I swear we haven't talked
in three weeks.
Jensen's not here.
Only his girlfriend
and a roommate.
[Koontz] What?
-He said clean it up.
-Oh, no.
No. Please, please,
please don't hurt us.
Please. Please.
[sobbing] Please. Please.
[Irish] Muzzle that bitch.
Tell Egon
to bring the car around.
[faint groaning]
[Koontz] Hey, baby.
You're January, huh?
Look at me.
Yeah. You know
what we're looking for?
Hm? No, no.
Yeah. [shushing]
I believe you.
You shouldn't have
come home, bitch.
I'm sorry.
[sighs]
[]
[sighs]
[Tag]
Do you have any family?
Uh... I got a brother
in North Carolina.
We don't talk much.
Husband?
Mm-mm.
Boyfriend?
-[chuckles]
-Not for a while.
-Kids?
-Tag.
I'm just trying to see
if anyone's worried about her.
[January] Hm.
No. I don't really
have anybody.
I just came down
from Wilmington...
for a guy,
that was dumb.
I met Lizzie at work,
and...
She offered to pay
half rent or whatever.
Um, but I just keep
to myself, mostly.
I don't really
have anybody.
Neither do me and Bowdrie.
[indistinctly muttering]
-[door clicks open]
-[grumbles]
Alejandro.
The fucking roommate.
She's alive.
[scoffs]
-She got seen today.
-Shit.
[mumbles indistinctly]
Didn't I tell you
to take care of it?
So, you...
You, open your mouth.
[gun cocking]
Open your mouth.
Come here.
-[gun cocking]
-Open your mouth.
Alejandro!
[Alejandro] Uh, uh, uh...
This is what you're supposed
to do when I say
end a motherfucker.
You put her on her knees.
[Koontz] Alejandro.
No, please.
And you end it,
end it, end it, end it.
I'll take care of it.
All right.
[chuckles softly]
-[January] What is it?
-I don't know.
[Irish] Oi, oi!
Can I help you?
Is this the Johnson place?
-No.
-Oh, shite.
So this ain't 1436
Kickapoo Place?
-[Bowdrie] Is that
the Johnson place?
-Right.
Well, I already told you
that it wasn't.
Yes, sir. I guess you did.
Look, I ain't gonna
bullshit a bullshitter.
I'm out here in the fucking
asshole of nowhere.
Is that them?
I don't know,
I can't see anything.
[grunts softly]
[gun cocking]
What are you doing?
Do you know how to use a gun?
-Uh-uh.
-[gun clicks]
Just in case.
[Irish] I'm trying
to find my sister.
You see, I got word
that she came up the river
and went camping with some
prick called Johnson,
and they got into
some bother.
I'm sorry.
I hope you find her.
She's a pretty girl.
A couple of tattoos,
dark hair.
Her name's January.
Like the month.
Doesn't ring a bell.
Okay.
I don't think you understand.
I really
need to find my sister.
You haven't seen her
or talked to her?
-I'm pretty sure.
-I'm pretty sure.
Right.
We got a problem then,
because I don't think
I believe you.
All right.
[Tag] Hey, Bowdrie.
-[door opens]
-Hey.
Your dinner's getting cold.
[Bowdrie] Oh, you get
started without me?
-I'm tired of waiting.
-[Bowdrie] Well, don't wait.
Say grace. Dig in.
I'll be in directly.
Cute girl. Big mouth.
[chuckles]
I won't push my luck.
Don't let me keep you
from a hot fucking meal.
Sounds like the princess
means business.
Look, I'll...
I'll keep looking and digging
for my little sister.
I'm sure she'll pop up.
See you soon.
[car door closes]
[Tag] Is that them?
[Bowdrie] Yeah.
Well, why didn't you shoot them
for what they did to January?
It's not our fight.
Let's get inside.
[sighs]
[]
[indistinct conversation
on TV]
[man] Hey, January.
look at me.
[groans]
[breathing heavily]
[grunts softly]
Don't, don't, don't.
Oh, you fucking up,
my man.
Fucking with the Brotherhood
now, ain't ya?
What do you want?
I wanna go home, bitch.
Best put that shit down,
country boy.
You crossing lines now?
-Fucking up.
-How many you got out here?
What you need to be asking is
how many we got in there.
-It's me again.
-[muffled groaning]
-[screaming]
-Shut the fuck up.
Fucking too dumb to die.
Come here, where do you think
you're fucking going?
-Huh? Shut up!
-[gagging]
Too dumb to die.
You don't even matter.
That's what's crazy.
But you had to fight.
You had to make it
so fucking hard, didn't you?
-Huh?
-[footsteps approaching]
-[grunting]
-You're next.
-[Irish grunts]
-[gunshot]
-[rapid gunshots]
-[glass shatters]
[groaning]
[grunts, pants]
Tag? Baby?
[coughing]
[breathing heavily]
[Bowdrie] It's all right,
honey. It's all right.
-[Irish coughing]
-I'm sorry.
-I'm so sorry.
-Could you come here, please?
Okay, Tag,
you stay here.
[]
[sighs]
I'm gonna need
to get rid of their truck.
Take it to the quarry.
I need you two
to follow me, okay?
[engine turning over]
[footsteps approaching]
I made you some tea.
You didn't have to.
Bo thinks that you
ripped your stitches out.
[grunts softly]
It's okay.
I froze.
What?
I was really, really scared,
so I froze.
Tag, no.
You saved me.
[door clicks open]
-I need to go.
-Where are you going?
You need a stitch
or two there.
You could take me
to the clinic.
Come here.
Sit down, please.
Please.
[grunts softly]
You need to tell me everything.
That guy I told you about
that Lizzie was seeing.
That's Jensen, that cop.
But... [sighs]
They were just--
I don't know,
it wasn't serious,
I didn't--
I never talked to him.
I don't trust cops.
She did tell me that he
was involved in some shit.
I was scared.
I just didn't...
I don't even know you.
And you saved my life.
And I owe you for that.
You don't owe me nothing.
I never would have stayed here
if I knew they'd come.
I wouldn't have done that
to you and Tag.
I don't know
what I was thinking.
They almost--
Just take me somewhere.
Anywhere.
Drop me off.
They're gonna
keep coming back.
Jensen was afraid of him.
I'm in the mix now.
I saw Lizzie die.
Clearly, they want me dead.
I cannot do that to y'all.
[]
[bird cooing]
[sighs]
[Bowdrie] What I'm
about to tell you has to
stay quiet, all right?
[Brake] All right.
[Bowdrie] I need your word.
[Brake] What is it?
[Bowdrie]
That girl washed up
down at Broken Bow.
[Brake] That's right.
What about her?
Now where are you
at with all that?
I know she was executed.
That deputy, Jensen,
we fished out of the fork.
He was connected to her.
Found text messages,
pictures...
He was compromised.
I always had
a feeling about him.
Too friendly with girls,
too much of a fucking bully.
Ain't out yet,
but we're finding shit.
Turns out he was in
with the local crew,
helping runs in and out
of Arkansas looks like.
His wife and kid
are still missing.
His crew, who are they?
They're scary motherfuckers,
that's who they are.
Hillbilly meth cooks working
with the Brotherhood, cartel.
Fucking mess.
Hurts my heart.
No sense in it.
Yeah, Bowdrie?
Get to it.
You know something,
you gotta talk to me.
Se had a roommate,
went missing.
That's right. Evers.
Collateral damage
most likely.
I got her.
-What did you say?
-I got her.
She washed up
out of the river.
Tag found her.
She's alive?
-Where is she?
-She's safe.
Not for long, she ain't.
You understand
what kind of mess
this girl is in?
These people,
they got their
own laws out there.
God-dang animals.
Where is she?
She's scared the hell out of
is where she's at.
Now, we already know
we can't trust the cops.
But I will bring her to you.
But you got to keep
Tag and me out of this,
all right?
I don't want no reports,
no questions, no nothing.
She washed up a few miles
down the bend and...
And that's the end of it.
Okay?
We cannot be dragged into this.
I can't be part of it.
Tag can't be drug in.
Damn right, you can't.
[grunts softly]
You got to get her
out of here.
All right.
I'll drive her over
a few counties.
Down here,
we're all too damn related.
They're gonna
take good care of you.
I know Bowdrie
doesn't look smart,
but he is.
Get you fixed up.
You're pretty awesome.
You know that, right?
-[door clicks open]
-Couldn't remember
if I'd told you that.
Okay. He's gonna
take you to a safe place.
That gets you
out of county,
and you can
figure it out from there.
Right?
-That's the only way
this works.
-Okay.
Okay.
Tag, I need a minute.
I'll meet you out
at the truck.
I'll miss you.
Thanks.
You're...
-Here, hang on to this.
-What is it?
That's just a little something
to hold you over until you,
you know,
get on your feet again.
You can trust this fella.
I trust you.
Okay.
Well, we best get going.
[]
Come on.
Let's get you out of here.
[Bowdrie] In Your holy name
we pray. Amen.
[sighs]
[Bowdrie] We didn't
have a choice.
[Tag] Neither did she.
[Bowdrie] Well,
the world's tough that way.
Sometimes we don't get
to pick what we want to do.
You know that.
Sometimes we just
have to do
what we have to.
[Tag] I liked having
January here.
It reminded me of what it might
be like if Mama were around.
-Just the three of us?
-Yeah. All right.
It's true.
Baby, you never even
really knew your Mama.
You were too little.
And she was so lost
before she passed.
January trusted us.
The only thing I care about
in this whole wide world
is you...
keeping you safe.
And nothing's gonna
stop me from doing that.
Not her, not you.
Why don't you go back inside
and be ready?
No...
[]
[sighs]
[grunts softly]
[groans softly]
Sleep all right?
Yeah. Me neither.
Hey, let's go check in
with Brake.
[line ringing]
[Brake]
This is Sheriff Brake.
If this is emergency,
please call 911.
Otherwise, leave your name
and number after the beep.
I'll get back to you
as soon as I can.
[line ringing]
[Brake]
This is Sheriff Brake.
If this is an emergency,
please call 911.
[engine turning over]
[grunts softly]
Uh, go on in.
Don't come out
for nobody, okay?
I wanna stay with you.
[sighs] Here.
Go on in, please. Here,
get something you want?
I wanna speak to Brake.
Is he in?
[boy] Hey.
Can I help you
with something?
No, thank you.
Well, if you do need me,
I'll just--
I'll just be right there
at the counter--
Billy Ray,
there's a clean-up
on aisle two.
[indistinct conversations]
Hey, where's Brake?
-Let's take a walk.
-Sure.
[Davenport] Nobody knows.
He was a no-show today.
So I blew up his phone,
got his voicemail.
Called his wife,
and she said he
didn't come home
last night.
-So...
-Uh-huh.
Nobody knows where he is.
Huh? No idea?
Look, I know you, uh...
you guys are boys
or whatever,
but, I need you
to cut the shit, okay?
There's a lot of talk.
Oh, yeah? Like what?
Well, you know,
the Jensen case
and the dead girl.
You know, there's some theories
that Brake might be involved.
Now, see, I'm new here,
so that's just my perspective.
And to me, it seems that--
Well, everybody's related.
This department is
full of cousin fuckers
and 30-year favors.
Now, now, I don't
think like that. Just...
There's a lot of talk.
I've known the man 35 years.
That doesn't fit the picture.
Yeah. Maybe he just
got tired of the bullshit
and owed somebody
some money or something.
Or maybe he just didn't
want to retire with some
shitty pension
and a big ol' gut.
[chuckles]
Right, yeah.
I mean, I get it,
I get it.
I respect the guy.
I guess, you know,
he was tired.
Well, I'll try and get
in touch with him later.
So what is it that--
that you needed, though?
-Just...
-Nothing. Just to talk.
Is there something
in particular,
though, maybe?
You know, because
from what I've heard
about you is
is that you're
the type of guy that
doesn't really need anything.
-Nope.
-Okay. Hey, you were--
you were with him
yesterday, weren't you?
-I was.
-Yeah.
Yeah, 'cause I was there
when you called him saying
you had to meet up over
at Lucille's Coffee Shop.
-Mm-hm.
-Yeah. Mm!
I haven't seen him
after that.
Or maybe there's something
that you know
that maybe you wanna--
wanna tell me.
-Nothing.
-No? Okay.
What is it you needed though?
Come on.
Well, I just check in
on him from time to time.
It's one of those times.
It's one of those times.
Okay, well,
I'll tell you what,
I'll tell you what.
Um, if I hear from Brake--
Or anybody for that matter,
I'll make sure
I hit you up real quick.
-Appreciate it.
-Yeah.
You know, there's a lot going
on in this town, isn't it?
With Jensen and the girl
and...
People are crazy.
Hell, you got your hands full.
Yeah, I sure do.
I sure do.
-Hey, uh-- Hey, Bowdrie?
-Yeah.
Don't say nothing
to nobody about this.
-Did you talk to Brake?
-Nope.
Hop in the truck,
we gotta go.
What's going on?
Brake's dead, Tag.
They killed him.
And I'm damn sure
there's more men
coming here right now.
What about January?
-I don't know.
-[gun clicking]
Did she make it out?
Is she okay?
[sniffles] Is she okay?
[sobbing]
Don't go jumping to any
conclusions now, okay?
She could be fine.
-We don't know.
-[sobbing]
[suspenseful music plays]
[faint music
playing over TV]
[thudding]
[]
[groaning]
[Bowdrie grunting] Okay.
Son of a bitch.
-[sighs]
-What the fuck?
What the fuck is this?
[groans]
Ahh! Fuck!
Damn thing won't start.
Well, won't you fuck me?
Can you fucking untie me?
-Where'd they take her?
-Oh, fuck this shit.
Where'd they take her?
You know January.
Where did they take her?
Oh, fuck you!
I'll make this
simple for you.
Um...
You tell me
what I want to know
or I'll kill you.
Okay, okay. Hold on.
Hold. Just hold--
Hold the fuck on.
-Okay.
-Just hold on one second.
-Where is she?
-I can't think.
Oh, that's where she is.
She's dead.
She's already dead. Yeah.
Sorry, you're fucked.
No, no, no.
Stop! Stop!
-Please.
-Keep talking.
Okay, it was Brake.
Okay? He was trying
to fucking sneak off with her,
that fucking dumb
piece of shit.
Okay?
He fucking knew better.
It was his own damn
fucking fault.
-Is he dead?
-Yeah.
Who killed him? You?
Yeah. I fucking
killed him. Okay.
What the fuck are you
gonna do about it?
Okay! Fuck!
-Where's January?
-Fuck.
I took her to the compound.
Okay, the brother's wandering
the fucking compound.
-So I took her there.
-Is she alive?
If she was, she's wishing
right now that...
that she wasn't.
Listen, Alejandro, just--
He wanted that bitch, man.
-And, well,
he fucking got her.
-Where's the compound?
It's fucking over, man.
It's fucking over.
-Where's the compound?
-I'm just doing
what I had to do, man.
Fuck. I'm a runner, okay?
I come here to make sure
that fucking shit runs right.
Do you understand me?
I'm not supposed
to be dealing
with that
fucking shit right now!
-Let me out of here!
-Where's the com--
-Look, what is wrong
with you?
-Ahh!
If you had a lawn mower
in my face,
I'd be telling you everything.
[screaming] Fuck!
[Davenport grunts]
Oh, I see the problem.
It's a spark plug.
-What?
-I should have that
fixed in a jiffy.
-Oh, it'll work now.
-No!
-No! Fuck!
-[motor turning over]
Oh, yeah.
-Fuck!
-Hey, relax.
-Fuck you.
-I'm just gonna
take a little off the top.
No, no, no, no!
-[flesh squelching]
-I'll fucking tell you!
[groaning]
Ah! Fuck!
I'll fucking tell you.
Okay, okay, okay,
I'll take you to
the fucking compound.
-[groans]
-[Bowdrie sighs]
All right, let's get to it.
[Bowdrie] Dear Tag.
Kid, you are
the best part of my life.
And I have loved
every second with you.
Every second,
every minute,
every day.
A long time ago,
I told you a lie.
I did it to protect you.
But maybe
I was just scared.
Maybe I was just trying
to protect myself.
I don't know anymore.
I was never scared
before you were born.
Then the day you came...
Well, I learned different.
You always believed
your mom was dead.
But she's not.
She's been imprisoned for
doing some horrible things,
but she's
a different person now.
Last four months, every week
since she got out of jail,
she's been
sending you letters.
She misses you,
and she loves you.
But I destroyed
those letters.
Each and every one
Because I didn't feel
that she deserved you
or your forgiveness
or your love
after what she had done.
But maybe it was me
who didn't deserve you.
The things I did
for what I've been--
A liar, a coward.
Every day
I've lied to you
because I didn't
want you to be hurt.
I thought I was
protecting you,
but I don't know.
I hope someday
you can forgive me.
You can take your time
about it.
I've never been
much for forgiving,
but I think you are.
One of the things
I love about you.
I'm gonna
check on our friend.
And, if you find this,
it means it didn't go
so well as I hoped.
And I'm sorry
for letting you down.
[gun cocking]
The cabin is yours.
You know
where the money is buried.
Don't spend it
all on dumb stuff.
Take good care of the truck,
and she'll take
good care of you.
Keep your gun clean.
Never stop drawing.
The world is ugly,
but you are beautiful
and strong and good.
And good wins
down the line.
I love you forever.
Always have.
-Bowdrie.
-[engine turning over]
[Davenport groans]
Davenport.
Hey, my friend here
has a...
[gagging]
[]
[guns clacking]
Hey, front gate.
Where you at?
Ricky, where you at?
[Davenport grunting]
Ricky. What's up, dawg?
Where you at?
Come in, come in.
[scoffs] Shit.
[shotgun cocks]
[Alejandro] You look lost...
pardner.
No, I'm lookin
for a friend.
I know she's here.
Friend?
We have no friends
here, cowboy.
I can see that.
Why don't we make this easy?
Hand her over.
Because, you know I'm not
going home without her.
[Alejandro]
I know who you are.
Flag him in the back.
I sent some of my boys
out to you,
and they never
came back home.
Did you kill them?
Look, I just want my friend.
I don't want any trouble.
I figure I can make
a trade with this fella.
A trade?
[Alejandro scoffs]
"A trade."
Two of my guys are missing,
probably dead.
And you want to
make a fucking trade?
-Yep.
-Fucking shit.
No. Cowboy...
you fucked up
coming out here.
He's gonna kill
the both of us, man.
-You understand?
-I just want the girl.
Well, I'll give you your girl
if you give me yours.
Huh?
Bowdrie!
We know everything.
[clanking]
You know that I know,
and I know that you know.
-[Tag breathing heavily]
-And I know...
I'm gonna take Tag.
[gunfire]
Move!
[grunts]
[sighs]
[gunfire continues]
[panting]
[panting]
Oh, baby!
Motherfucker!
Stop shooting at the lab!
[grunting]
Fuck you!
Yeah.
[panting]
[]
Fuck!
[breathing heavily]
It's gonna be all right.
I'll come back. Okay?
-Fuck you, motherf--
-Go away!
-Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
-Go away!
Run away!
[indistinct radio chatter]
[grunts]
[Alejandro]
I was different
than the rest
of the kids my age.
Oh, yes.
I was the king.
That is something--
[Bowdrie groaning]
-[groans loudly]
-All this shit for nothing!
Over nobody!
You don't even know me.
I am the king.
-I am the f--
-[gunshot]
[over tape]
I was a kid full of joy.
[sighs, grunts]
Kid full of expectations.
A kid full of expectations
and dreams to come true.
But I stepped at some point
with the wrong stone.
I was very young.
-[woman sobbing]
-[Bowdrie breathing heavily]
[sobbing continues]
[]
[sighs heavily]
You're gonna be all right.
I've seen much worse.
[Bowdrie] Uh... Want me
to go with you?
-Yeah?
-No.
All right.
[]
[]
When the morning
Fades us
Tangled up inside
A rage
Like the clouds
Could break away apart
Bring it back to colors
Echoes of the open tongue
Do you remember
How it feels?
Do you hear it calling?
Do you hear it
Calling out?
It's like the waters
Into rivers into lakes
Do you hear it calling?
Do you hear it
Calling out?
Is it the start
Of something
Better than we make?
It's a tunnel vision
Make it breathe
And come alive
Smoke that station lingers
Long before the fire
No more tainted sorrows
No one cares
When it collides
I grabbed your look
Tumbling down
Do you hear it calling?
Do you hear it
Calling out?
It's like the waters
Into rivers into lakes
Do you hear it calling?
Do you hear it
Calling out?
Is it the start of
Something better
Than we made?
Loose threads
Start to make a mess
When you cut the fence
You hear it calling out
Hear it calling out
Do you hear it calling?
Do you hear it
Calling out?
It's like the waters
Into rivers into lakes
Do you hear it calling?
Do you hear it
Calling out?
Is it the start
Of something
Better than we make?

[overlapping conversations]
Sounds good.
[man 1] All right.
That was so much fun,
man, I got two.
Last night I got two shots.
Bullseye, baby.
[woman] Hey, girl,
What can I get you,
sweetie?
Surprise me.
I need a shot of tequila
and some beer, please.
Here.
And your tequila.
I went out with this guy.
Ice cold, honky ass
white boy beer
and your tequila.
My favorite.
Okay, daddy, you let
me know if you need
anything else, okay?
I'm...
I'm-- I'm looking
for somebody.
Who are you looking for?
A white boy named Jenson?
Hm. Don't ring a bell,
but I can go ask around
if you want.
No. No, fuck, no.
No, he's not Jenson.
I'm sorry. It's-- It's--
It's Jensen.
-Jensen.
-All right, I'll see.
No, no, no, no, no.
-[man] Come over here
for a second.
-Um...
Do you know him?
I don't...
I don't think I do.
You know him because
you've been fucking him.
What do you want?
-Same here.
-I want to see you.
I'm busy, okay?
We're friends.
That's all.
We used to hang out.
Sit down.
Don't make a scene.
Nobody cares.
Come on, sit down.
Don't worry.
Nothing's gonna happen.
Come on.
[man] Hey, what about
another tequila shot?
Hey, doll,
get us two more tequilas.
You're pretty.
You know you are.
You are.
But you shouldn't
believe the lies.
You shouldn't believe
the lies, the bullshit.
The bullshit.
People play games
and they pretend
they're something else.
But deep down
in the dark,
the quiet...
we all know we are alone.
Yes.
Did you know that your
friend is fucking up with me?
Please stop.
Stop? Stop what?
Whatever this is,
I don't know anything
about anything.
[laughing]
Ah! You don't know
anything about anything?
No?
You know what, baby girl?
I know a lot of things.
A lot of things.
Hm! A lot of things.
I know your name.
I know your address.
I know the people
you love and care.
I know, I know,
I know everything.
Lizzie.
We are who we are.
Animals, animals, animals.
And this place
is the wild, wild west.
It's a dangerous place.
It is very dangerous.
Pay attention, Lizzie,
pay attention.
Pay attention.
You feel that?
You feel it?
It's a switchblade.
My thumb's right on the button
that trips the spring.
You think your boy will keep
coming back by your place
if I open you up,
if I pull your guts
inside out?
Please stop.
Your friend doesn't know
who he is out here.
People forget sometimes.
And that is how
they got hurt.
That is how
they got hurt.
Lizzie, I could
paint a portrait,
beautiful portrait
with your blood.
And I would not even remember
your face the next day.
What do you want?
You go
and tell your friend
that I want back
all he stole from me.
Huh? Could you do that?
Good girl.
Good girl, Lizzie.
Now finish your shift.
Go home,
find Jensen for me.
But don't run
and don't hide.
Rabbit, you can't
get away from me.
You know why?
I am the fucking king.
Now you can go.
Go, go, go, go, go.
A fucking king.
[insects chirping]
[door slams]
You got a problem,
motherfucker?
I'm talking to you, chico.
Chico!

All right?
[sizzling]
-[Tag] Bo?
-Yeah.
[grunts softly]
[Bowdrie] Lord, thank you
for this day
and for this food.
And she who made it.
Lord, forgive us our wrongs.
And please help us
to forgive those
who wronged us.
Guide us, O Lord,
that Your will be
done always.
In Christ's name we pray.
Amen.
Dive in.
Amen.

Night, kid.

Amen.
[soft country music
playing over radio]
I've been working
So hard...
[radio station scrambles]
[song continues
over speakers]
[music continues over radio]
[paper rustling]
[Tag chuckles softly]
[sighs]
[birds chirping]
[fishing line reeling]
[door creaks]
[Bowdrie] Hey.
[door closes]
[grunts softly]
Hey, how much
for this push mower?
How much for Bill's
old mower, Ed?
[Ed] Oh, shit.
That mower don't mow.
It don't run.
Well, it should be
cheap, then.
How much, Ed?
Blade don't turn.
Brand spanking new blade,
but it don't turn.
I like to piddle.
[Ed sighs]
I can do you 45.
I'll give you 20.
This business
is gonna kill me.
I take it
that's a "Yes, 20."
[birds chirping]
[woman] Help! Help!

Tag.
[]
Hey, baby. You around?
[door clicks open]
[rapid footsteps approaching]
I found something.
[Tag panting]
[water gushing]
-Over there.
-Okay.
Oh, boy.
[sighs]
[shuddering]
Okay.
You're safe.
I gotta move you.
[groaning]
All right, we got you.
Okay. All right.
Uh...
Give me the heavy blanket.
-She needs to
go to a hospital.
-Oh, yeah.
Look, I know it hurts.
I'm gonna have to look.
Okay, honey?
Okay. I'm sorry.
Oh, my goodness.
Baby, I'm gonna
need some rags,
some alcohol,
some hot water.
Keep you warm.
Oh!
I have to turn you over
and look at the back. Okay?
-Okay.
-[groans]
[continues groaning]
[sighs]
Okay. In and out.
Passed right through.
Here, let's get you warm.
[gasping]
[stuttering]
No hospital.
Please.
Please.
We'll see. We'll see.
All right, let me get you.
Honey, could you hurry
up with that stuff?
Look at me. I need to
keep some pressure
on here, okay?
-I'm sorry.
-[high-pitched scream]
Okay. All right.
Oh, baby.
Wet rag. Yeah.
Okay. Okay.
Okay. Get the kit
above the refrigerator.
Okay. All right.
Help me out with this. What?
Drag that.
I'll turn her over.
Oh. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
-What happened?
-[Bowdrie] Oh!
She got shot
through the back,
and it went straight
through the front.
Nothing vital, I think.
Um, I'm gonna need
to clean this, pack it.
It's gonna get pretty
screamy in here,
so either get tough
or get out, okay?
I am sorry about this,
I am sorry.
[high-pitched scream]
[wind whistling]
[grunts softly]
Can we still take her
to the hospital?
[Bowdrie sighs]
She practically
begged me not to,
but I think we should.
Let's think about it.
Bullet holes make questions
that'll bring the law.
Is she gonna live?
Well, it takes an awful lot
to kill a person.
She lost a mess of blood,
though.
I've seen worse.
[grunts softly]
It's-- It's chicken soup.
You're gonna be okay.
I promise.
[Bowdrie] Hey.
You did good today.
You were strong.
You too.
I gotta go into town
again tomorrow.
Get more medicine
and whatnot.
It'd be a good idea
if you didn't go
fishing for a while.
You get me?
Stick around the house.
-Yes, sir.
-Got to leave early.
So, just keep her in bed.
Give her a bunch of liquids.
Hey, we don't know her,
so we don't trust her.
Okay?
Night, Bo.
Night.
[]
[firewood crackling]
[grunts softly]
[groans]
Huh?
Good morning.
Did you handcuff me?
What did you do that for?
We don't know you.
[sighs]
[grunting]
[coughing]
Bo told me
that if you tried to move,
I'd have to shoot you.
I'm just kidding.
[chuckles nervously]
[exhales heavily]
I'm Tag.
Hi.
I'm January.
[indistinct conversations]
-[sighs]
-Hey, there.
There you go.
[scanner beeping]
Well, would you look at that?
That brings back old memories.
Good choice.
That'll be 38.99.
[siren blaring]
[Brake] Put the condoms down.
Now, why'd I do that?
Keeps your wife's
lipstick off of me.
[chuckles]
Well, how you doing, ugly?
What, you really wanna know
or are you shitting me?
I'm just shittin'.
Hey, you got time for a bite?
We're going to Lucille's.
No, I got some
errands to run.
All right. Well, hey,
this is Davenport,
fresh from Tulsa.
-Hey.
-This is Bowdrie.
He's trouble.
River folk.
Yeah. Don't take
the wrong turn.
[Brake] We go way back.
Hey, uh-- Hey,
you bag anything worth
bragging about yet?
Oh, Tag got one
a couple of days back.
-Big?
-Big enough to eat.
I went out the other morning.
I didn't see nothing.
That's 'cause they
saw you first.
Gotta sneak up on em.
[Brake] How's the kiddo?
I think she'll outlive me.
All right, well,
you keep on keeping on,
and, I'll probably come
see you sometime.
-I get bored enough.
-You bet.
-All right, well,
see you, big man.
-See you.
Keep your nose clean.
[door creaks]
[sighs]
[knocking]
[Tag] Did you see that
January has tattoos?
Let me get me that
5/16th over there.
Thanks.
Did my mom have tattoos?
She had a few.
They were all kind
of run together.
She had a lot, actually.
I used to think that
they looked kind of weird,
but I think
January's look cool.
Did you see it?
Yeah.
Don't you go
getting any ideas.
Oh, that's not gonna work.
No.
[faucet running]
[switch flicks]
[Bowdrie sighs]
You're gonna live.
[January sighs]
How long have I been here?
A couple of days now.
[grunts]
Who are you?
My name is January Evers.
You think you can tell me
what happened?
[sighs]
They took me.
I was just coming
home from the gym.
I just walked into
my apartment,
and they were there.
[January] Lizzie.
Liz was hurt.
[high-pitched scream]
They beat the shit
out of me.
-[thug grunts]
-[thud]
Just heard 'em screaming about
some guy who was his friend.
And that they had stolen
something from them.
He took us,
put us in a car,
drove us,
I don't know how long.
Car stops.
[sobbing]
They pulled us out.
[January shudders]
She told them she
didn't know anything.
[stream gushing]
-They shot her.
-[Lizzie] No, no, no, no.
-[January] Lizzie!
-[gunshot]
No!
[sighs]
And I left her there,
I just started running.
I broke free,
and I just, uh, I...
I heard the shot.
I felt it, I fell over
this bridge
by the water, and...
[January sighs]
I heard them
looking for me.
So I crawled
into the water
and just held my breath
for as long as I could.
The last thing
that I remember
is them saying
that I must be dead,
and they left.
[sniffles]
Tell me about the other girl.
[sniffles]
Liz. Uh... Elizabeth.
She was my best friend.
[exhales]
She was my only friend.
[grunts softly]
[grunts softly]
-[sighs]
-[door opens]
-Where the hell
have you been?
-Oh, I took a walk.
Figured I'd give
the season a final look.
Why didn't you tell me?
Well, you talk too much.
I needed some quiet.
-Where did you go?
-Nowhere.
You know,
around the woods.
What the hell?
Where were you?
I'm gonna need
to run back into town again.
-You just went.
-Yeah, well,
I need to go again.
I need to pick up some
spark plugs for that mower.
And why don't you get
to your schoolwork?
-I was about to go
looking for you.
-Tag.
Stay near the house.
All right?
-Yes, sir.
-How's she doing?
She's sleeping.
Good. I won't be long.
[gun clicks]
What is-- What is it?
[sighs]
What's what, kid?
You don't go to town
this much,
and we're not gonna
use that lawnmower
for another four months.
I mean, you say yourself that
people live season to season.
This ain't like you.
Eventually we're going to have
to take her back into town.
-To the hospital.
-Why?
Because there's nothing
more we can do for her.
You said that she
was healing up and she
didn't want to go.
-And then you agreed--
-Yeah, I know what I said.
Well, that's bullshit.
Yeah, it is. Come here.
[sighs]
But it's necessary bullshit.
Right now you're gonna
keep tugging on the sweater.
I'm gonna drag
you right into it.
There's a dead woman
in the river down there.
I just saw her, all tangled up
in the branches and left to rot.
Somebody shot her
right in the face,
blew her brains out,
dumped her in the water.
Now, do you think our
newfound friend in here,
in our home, might
have been shot by
the same fellas,
left her for dead?
What do you figure they'll do
if they find out she's alive?
Come back here
and get her is what.
The world is full of ugly
people doing ugly things.
Some horrible shit you can't
even wrap your head around.
It's just the nature
of the beast.
Get back in the house, tool up,
and lock all the doors.
-Okay, baby?
-Yes, sir.
-Okay.
-[door creaks]
-[sighs]
-[line ringing]
[dispatch]
Antler Sheriff Station,
may I help you?
Hello?
Could you do something
for me?
I gotta go to the bathroom.
[]
[grunts softly]
[Tag] Are you okay in there?
Just need a sec.
-Oh.
-I think I need to sit down.
[January groans]
[breathing heavily]
You're pretty.
-I don't feel too pretty.
-You are.
Just going through
a hard time right now.
My mom was pretty.
Where is your mom?
She died when I was little.
But he says
she didn't hurt, so...
That's the way it goes.
Life's hard.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about your friend.
Bo told me.
Me too.
Do you want your tea?
Sure.
Where is your dad?
Bo? He, uh...
He went to town.
Bo?
Yeah.
His name's Bowdrie,
but I call him Bo.
His old man was a huge fan
of Louis L'Amour.
You ever heard of him?
Oh, he's like
this old cowboy writer.
He wrote a bunch
of Western stories.
Anyway. There's this character
in one of them named Bowdrie.
And Pa-paw liked it
so much that he stole it.
So it's...
it's an homage.
Why not call him Dad?
I just always called him Bo,
I guess.
I mean, that that is his name.
What about Tag?
What is that from?
He says that momma used
to always call me his--
his tag along.
And I like that more than my
other name, so it stuck.
[chuckles softly]
[grunts softly]
[leaves rustling]
-Uh...
-What is it?
Nothing, I'm just--
I thought I...
It's all good.
[sighs heavily]
Oh, hey. You're up.
-Yeah.
-Good.
Are you mad at me?
No.
She had to go
to the bathroom.
I was trying
to do your sheets a favor.
Gee, thanks a lot, Tag.
Well, like I said,
we don't know her.
I know her.
Why don't you go
and get washed for dinner?
[Bowdrie] Lord,
we thank You for this food
and this warm home.
We ask Your forgiveness
just like we forgive others.
We ask for guidance, Lord.
But above all,
Your will be done.
Nothing more, nothing less.
In your name. Amen.
-[girls] Amen.
-Right.
[sighs]
Hey!
Hey!
Thank you.
Yeah. You got a ways to go,
but you'll be fine.
I've seen much worse.
Smoke?
Yeah.
-It's cold.
-Yeah.
It's gonna be
a hard winter.
[Tag] Night, Bo.
Night, kid.
[Tag] Night, January.
Good night.
-She's sweet.
-Yeah, she's all right.
What are you gonna do?
I'll take you
into town tomorrow.
They got a clinic in Antlers.
They'll take
good care of you there.
Okay.
[]
[music playing
over speakers]
[knocking on door]
Hey, yo, Alejandro.
-Yeah, baby.
-[door opens]
It's Irish.
They just brought Jensen in.
Can you feel that?
What a stupid mistake.
Fucking stupid.
Are you stupid?
-I didn't tell anyone.
I swear.
-Yeah, you did.
You know you're fucking dead.
-Pay attention.
-Okay.
[siren wailing
in the distance]
Why did you do it?
I was coming back.
I was coming back.
-I swear.
-Why did you fucking do it?
-Look at me.
-I...
I can explain this.
All of it.
[Irish] Good luck
explaining this.
Did you get my shit?
No, I fucking did
what I was told to do.
All right?
This is just
a misunderstanding.
They're putting it on me, man.
But it's just...
It's a mis--
It's a misunderstanding.
Look at me.
Look at me.
-[blow lands]
-[exclaims]
-Damn!
-That was a nice hit.
All right, cowboy.
Get up now.
The Academy taught you better
than that, boy.
You a tough guy.
Hang in there.
[Jensen] I swear to you,
I swear I did the drop.
[coughing, spitting]
I did the drop.
And it wasn't light, man,
it wasn't like. I swear.
Running for me is like
running from God.
I have eyes everywhere.
So what do you
want to do now?
Did you get the wife?
In the trunk...
-[muffled screaming]
-...with the kid.
[Alejandro] You hear that?
We got your wife.
We got your fucking wife.
Tell me. Tell me.
[sighs]
Tell me...
Tell me.
What is her name?
-[muffled screaming]
-[metallic thud]
Laney. Laney.
Laney?
[speaking in Spanish]
And Laney
won't like it at first.
She'll try to fight it.
[Jensen sobbing]
I was...
poor, abandoned, lost.
Orphan...
Going to the worst.
the worst place
you could ever imagine.
-[sighs]
-Ever.
I'm gonna do to her
what those people did to me.
Inside.
Please. Please.
I'm sorry, man,
I fucked up.
I fucked up.
I know it's my fault.
Don'-- Don't hurt them.
Please, God.
You smell like death.
You don't have to do nothing.
No, I can--
I can still...
No, I can still help you,
I can--
[Alejandro] We took care
of your little lover.
[Jensen] I can drive,
I can make the runs,
I can...
-Please.
-Now it's your turn.
-Oh, God.
-Stop.
No! God! No!
[sobbing]
No more suffering.
Coward!
-[drill whirring]
-[Jensen screaming] No!
[high-pitched scream]
Hm... January is sleeping.
Well, that's good.
That's God's medicine.
That's what you Pa-paw
always used to say.
Yes, sir.
Speaking of old guys,
you ought to ride up
to old Whitehorse's,
see if he's okay.
I haven't seen him
for a few days.
I thought I was supposed
to stay around the house.
You're going the opposite way
away from the river,
so I figure it'd be all right.
I'll take the truck.
Oh, no, I need the truck.
-You need it?
-Mm-hm.
It looks like rain.
Well, you could use the shower.
Anyway, the fork's low,
apple butter.
Might as well treat myself
on my birthday.
-Which birthday again?
-Who's counting?
You better slow down
on them birthdays.
You'd be 42 by next month.
[]
[door clicks open]
I'm ready.
It's gonna be all right,
you know.
[]
[siren wailing]
You may want
to stay inconspicuous.
I'll be right back.
Can't resist
the smell of bacon.
What's going on?
This world
ain't right for it.
Body washed up down the river.
Just got the call.
One of our boys.
Oh, yeah. County.
Which one?
Name o' Jensen. Deputy.
Three years.
They tortured him
with a drill.
Dozen holes in him.
Beaten, shot, dropped
in the upper river last night.
-Yeah. Sorry.
-The wife and kid...
Missing. Can't even get 'em
on the phone.
Have you seen anything
weird out there?
You've been down at the Fork?
Nothing.
It's all pretty quiet.
This morning,
body of an Antler's girl
got caught in the trotline
down at Broken Bow Lake.
Shot in the head.
Looks like she came
up through the Fork.
Through the delta,
caught in the shallows.
Turns out she disappeared
from her apartment
a few nights back.
Roommate's gone missing too.
She turn up yet?
God, no. Hope she's alive.
[Bowdrie] Right.
Yeah.
[Brake] Word is,
the Brotherhood
and the cartel
have joined forces
here in town.
You don't want to mess
with these breed of people.
-Bad dudes.
-I'm planning on it.
You see anything upriver?
Yeah, I found some tracks.
Might be something.
Bit of a hike, though.
About a mile or so.
Do me a favor.
Keep Tag off the river
till we get this settled.
[Bowdrie] Yeah.
-[Brake] People are crazy.
-[Bowdrie] Yeah.
[Brake] Fucking Brotherhood,
cartels.
Indians, Russians
running heroin, meth.
Fuck!
People now, kids.
It's all gone to shit.
Hm.
[Brake] What you got there?
[Bowdrie] Oh, yeah.
She's a niece
from out of town.
She's come to visit Tag
for her birthday.
-Do yourself a favor.
-Mm-hm.
Get the hell out of here.
Good advice. Good luck.
What the hell's going on?
[Bowdrie]
I'm getting the sense you're
not telling me everything.
[engine turning over]
What do you know about
this crew here in town?
This Brotherhood?
[January]
I don't know them...
but I saw their face.
[Lizzie] I don't know.
I don't know.
He didn't tell me.
[Irish] That's a real
fucking problem.
I swear to you, I swear.
He's married.
We haven't talked.
Fuck. Make the call.
[Lizzie] No. No, no, no.
I swear we haven't talked
in three weeks.
Jensen's not here.
Only his girlfriend
and a roommate.
[Koontz] What?
-He said clean it up.
-Oh, no.
No. Please, please,
please don't hurt us.
Please. Please.
[sobbing] Please. Please.
[Irish] Muzzle that bitch.
Tell Egon
to bring the car around.
[faint groaning]
[Koontz] Hey, baby.
You're January, huh?
Look at me.
Yeah. You know
what we're looking for?
Hm? No, no.
Yeah. [shushing]
I believe you.
You shouldn't have
come home, bitch.
I'm sorry.
[sighs]
[]
[sighs]
[Tag]
Do you have any family?
Uh... I got a brother
in North Carolina.
We don't talk much.
Husband?
Mm-mm.
Boyfriend?
-[chuckles]
-Not for a while.
-Kids?
-Tag.
I'm just trying to see
if anyone's worried about her.
[January] Hm.
No. I don't really
have anybody.
I just came down
from Wilmington...
for a guy,
that was dumb.
I met Lizzie at work,
and...
She offered to pay
half rent or whatever.
Um, but I just keep
to myself, mostly.
I don't really
have anybody.
Neither do me and Bowdrie.
[indistinctly muttering]
-[door clicks open]
-[grumbles]
Alejandro.
The fucking roommate.
She's alive.
[scoffs]
-She got seen today.
-Shit.
[mumbles indistinctly]
Didn't I tell you
to take care of it?
So, you...
You, open your mouth.
[gun cocking]
Open your mouth.
Come here.
-[gun cocking]
-Open your mouth.
Alejandro!
[Alejandro] Uh, uh, uh...
This is what you're supposed
to do when I say
end a motherfucker.
You put her on her knees.
[Koontz] Alejandro.
No, please.
And you end it,
end it, end it, end it.
I'll take care of it.
All right.
[chuckles softly]
-[January] What is it?
-I don't know.
[Irish] Oi, oi!
Can I help you?
Is this the Johnson place?
-No.
-Oh, shite.
So this ain't 1436
Kickapoo Place?
-[Bowdrie] Is that
the Johnson place?
-Right.
Well, I already told you
that it wasn't.
Yes, sir. I guess you did.
Look, I ain't gonna
bullshit a bullshitter.
I'm out here in the fucking
asshole of nowhere.
Is that them?
I don't know,
I can't see anything.
[grunts softly]
[gun cocking]
What are you doing?
Do you know how to use a gun?
-Uh-uh.
-[gun clicks]
Just in case.
[Irish] I'm trying
to find my sister.
You see, I got word
that she came up the river
and went camping with some
prick called Johnson,
and they got into
some bother.
I'm sorry.
I hope you find her.
She's a pretty girl.
A couple of tattoos,
dark hair.
Her name's January.
Like the month.
Doesn't ring a bell.
Okay.
I don't think you understand.
I really
need to find my sister.
You haven't seen her
or talked to her?
-I'm pretty sure.
-I'm pretty sure.
Right.
We got a problem then,
because I don't think
I believe you.
All right.
[Tag] Hey, Bowdrie.
-[door opens]
-Hey.
Your dinner's getting cold.
[Bowdrie] Oh, you get
started without me?
-I'm tired of waiting.
-[Bowdrie] Well, don't wait.
Say grace. Dig in.
I'll be in directly.
Cute girl. Big mouth.
[chuckles]
I won't push my luck.
Don't let me keep you
from a hot fucking meal.
Sounds like the princess
means business.
Look, I'll...
I'll keep looking and digging
for my little sister.
I'm sure she'll pop up.
See you soon.
[car door closes]
[Tag] Is that them?
[Bowdrie] Yeah.
Well, why didn't you shoot them
for what they did to January?
It's not our fight.
Let's get inside.
[sighs]
[]
[indistinct conversation
on TV]
[man] Hey, January.
look at me.
[groans]
[breathing heavily]
[grunts softly]
Don't, don't, don't.
Oh, you fucking up,
my man.
Fucking with the Brotherhood
now, ain't ya?
What do you want?
I wanna go home, bitch.
Best put that shit down,
country boy.
You crossing lines now?
-Fucking up.
-How many you got out here?
What you need to be asking is
how many we got in there.
-It's me again.
-[muffled groaning]
-[screaming]
-Shut the fuck up.
Fucking too dumb to die.
Come here, where do you think
you're fucking going?
-Huh? Shut up!
-[gagging]
Too dumb to die.
You don't even matter.
That's what's crazy.
But you had to fight.
You had to make it
so fucking hard, didn't you?
-Huh?
-[footsteps approaching]
-[grunting]
-You're next.
-[Irish grunts]
-[gunshot]
-[rapid gunshots]
-[glass shatters]

[grunts, pants]
Tag? Baby?
[coughing]
[breathing heavily]
[Bowdrie] It's all right,
honey. It's all right.
-[Irish coughing]
-I'm sorry.
-I'm so sorry.
-Could you come here, please?
Okay, Tag,
you stay here.
[]
[sighs]
I'm gonna need
to get rid of their truck.
Take it to the quarry.
I need you two
to follow me, okay?
[engine turning over]
[footsteps approaching]
I made you some tea.
You didn't have to.
Bo thinks that you
ripped your stitches out.
[grunts softly]
It's okay.
I froze.
What?
I was really, really scared,
so I froze.
Tag, no.
You saved me.
[door clicks open]
-I need to go.
-Where are you going?
You need a stitch
or two there.
You could take me
to the clinic.
Come here.
Sit down, please.
Please.
[grunts softly]
You need to tell me everything.
That guy I told you about
that Lizzie was seeing.
That's Jensen, that cop.
But... [sighs]
They were just--
I don't know,
it wasn't serious,
I didn't--
I never talked to him.
I don't trust cops.
She did tell me that he
was involved in some shit.
I was scared.
I just didn't...
I don't even know you.
And you saved my life.
And I owe you for that.
You don't owe me nothing.
I never would have stayed here
if I knew they'd come.
I wouldn't have done that
to you and Tag.
I don't know
what I was thinking.
They almost--
Just take me somewhere.
Anywhere.
Drop me off.
They're gonna
keep coming back.
Jensen was afraid of him.
I'm in the mix now.
I saw Lizzie die.
Clearly, they want me dead.
I cannot do that to y'all.
[]
[bird cooing]
[sighs]
[Bowdrie] What I'm
about to tell you has to
stay quiet, all right?
[Brake] All right.
[Bowdrie] I need your word.
[Brake] What is it?
[Bowdrie]
That girl washed up
down at Broken Bow.
[Brake] That's right.
What about her?
Now where are you
at with all that?
I know she was executed.
That deputy, Jensen,
we fished out of the fork.
He was connected to her.
Found text messages,
pictures...
He was compromised.
I always had
a feeling about him.
Too friendly with girls,
too much of a fucking bully.
Ain't out yet,
but we're finding shit.
Turns out he was in
with the local crew,
helping runs in and out
of Arkansas looks like.
His wife and kid
are still missing.
His crew, who are they?
They're scary motherfuckers,
that's who they are.
Hillbilly meth cooks working
with the Brotherhood, cartel.
Fucking mess.
Hurts my heart.
No sense in it.
Yeah, Bowdrie?
Get to it.
You know something,
you gotta talk to me.
Se had a roommate,
went missing.
That's right. Evers.
Collateral damage
most likely.
I got her.
-What did you say?
-I got her.
She washed up
out of the river.
Tag found her.
She's alive?
-Where is she?
-She's safe.
Not for long, she ain't.
You understand
what kind of mess
this girl is in?
These people,
they got their
own laws out there.
God-dang animals.
Where is she?
She's scared the hell out of
is where she's at.
Now, we already know
we can't trust the cops.
But I will bring her to you.
But you got to keep
Tag and me out of this,
all right?
I don't want no reports,
no questions, no nothing.
She washed up a few miles
down the bend and...
And that's the end of it.
Okay?
We cannot be dragged into this.
I can't be part of it.
Tag can't be drug in.
Damn right, you can't.
[grunts softly]
You got to get her
out of here.
All right.
I'll drive her over
a few counties.
Down here,
we're all too damn related.
They're gonna
take good care of you.
I know Bowdrie
doesn't look smart,
but he is.
Get you fixed up.
You're pretty awesome.
You know that, right?
-[door clicks open]
-Couldn't remember
if I'd told you that.
Okay. He's gonna
take you to a safe place.
That gets you
out of county,
and you can
figure it out from there.
Right?
-That's the only way
this works.
-Okay.
Okay.
Tag, I need a minute.
I'll meet you out
at the truck.
I'll miss you.
Thanks.
You're...
-Here, hang on to this.
-What is it?
That's just a little something
to hold you over until you,
you know,
get on your feet again.
You can trust this fella.
I trust you.
Okay.
Well, we best get going.
[]
Come on.
Let's get you out of here.
[Bowdrie] In Your holy name
we pray. Amen.
[sighs]
[Bowdrie] We didn't
have a choice.
[Tag] Neither did she.
[Bowdrie] Well,
the world's tough that way.
Sometimes we don't get
to pick what we want to do.
You know that.
Sometimes we just
have to do
what we have to.
[Tag] I liked having
January here.
It reminded me of what it might
be like if Mama were around.
-Just the three of us?
-Yeah. All right.
It's true.
Baby, you never even
really knew your Mama.
You were too little.
And she was so lost
before she passed.
January trusted us.
The only thing I care about
in this whole wide world
is you...
keeping you safe.
And nothing's gonna
stop me from doing that.
Not her, not you.
Why don't you go back inside
and be ready?
No...
[]
[sighs]
[grunts softly]
[groans softly]
Sleep all right?
Yeah. Me neither.
Hey, let's go check in
with Brake.
[line ringing]
[Brake]
This is Sheriff Brake.
If this is emergency,
please call 911.
Otherwise, leave your name
and number after the beep.
I'll get back to you
as soon as I can.
[line ringing]
[Brake]
This is Sheriff Brake.
If this is an emergency,
please call 911.
[engine turning over]
[grunts softly]
Uh, go on in.
Don't come out
for nobody, okay?
I wanna stay with you.
[sighs] Here.
Go on in, please. Here,
get something you want?
I wanna speak to Brake.
Is he in?
[boy] Hey.
Can I help you
with something?
No, thank you.
Well, if you do need me,
I'll just--
I'll just be right there
at the counter--
Billy Ray,
there's a clean-up
on aisle two.
[indistinct conversations]
Hey, where's Brake?
-Let's take a walk.
-Sure.
[Davenport] Nobody knows.
He was a no-show today.
So I blew up his phone,
got his voicemail.
Called his wife,
and she said he
didn't come home
last night.
-So...
-Uh-huh.
Nobody knows where he is.
Huh? No idea?
Look, I know you, uh...
you guys are boys
or whatever,
but, I need you
to cut the shit, okay?
There's a lot of talk.
Oh, yeah? Like what?
Well, you know,
the Jensen case
and the dead girl.
You know, there's some theories
that Brake might be involved.
Now, see, I'm new here,
so that's just my perspective.
And to me, it seems that--
Well, everybody's related.
This department is
full of cousin fuckers
and 30-year favors.
Now, now, I don't
think like that. Just...
There's a lot of talk.
I've known the man 35 years.
That doesn't fit the picture.
Yeah. Maybe he just
got tired of the bullshit
and owed somebody
some money or something.
Or maybe he just didn't
want to retire with some
shitty pension
and a big ol' gut.
[chuckles]
Right, yeah.
I mean, I get it,
I get it.
I respect the guy.
I guess, you know,
he was tired.
Well, I'll try and get
in touch with him later.
So what is it that--
that you needed, though?
-Just...
-Nothing. Just to talk.
Is there something
in particular,
though, maybe?
You know, because
from what I've heard
about you is
is that you're
the type of guy that
doesn't really need anything.
-Nope.
-Okay. Hey, you were--
you were with him
yesterday, weren't you?
-I was.
-Yeah.
Yeah, 'cause I was there
when you called him saying
you had to meet up over
at Lucille's Coffee Shop.
-Mm-hm.
-Yeah. Mm!
I haven't seen him
after that.
Or maybe there's something
that you know
that maybe you wanna--
wanna tell me.
-Nothing.
-No? Okay.
What is it you needed though?
Come on.
Well, I just check in
on him from time to time.
It's one of those times.
It's one of those times.
Okay, well,
I'll tell you what,
I'll tell you what.
Um, if I hear from Brake--
Or anybody for that matter,
I'll make sure
I hit you up real quick.
-Appreciate it.
-Yeah.
You know, there's a lot going
on in this town, isn't it?
With Jensen and the girl
and...
People are crazy.
Hell, you got your hands full.
Yeah, I sure do.
I sure do.
-Hey, uh-- Hey, Bowdrie?
-Yeah.
Don't say nothing
to nobody about this.
-Did you talk to Brake?
-Nope.
Hop in the truck,
we gotta go.
What's going on?
Brake's dead, Tag.
They killed him.
And I'm damn sure
there's more men
coming here right now.
What about January?
-I don't know.
-[gun clicking]
Did she make it out?
Is she okay?
[sniffles] Is she okay?
[sobbing]
Don't go jumping to any
conclusions now, okay?
She could be fine.
-We don't know.
-[sobbing]
[suspenseful music plays]
[faint music
playing over TV]
[thudding]
[]
[groaning]
[Bowdrie grunting] Okay.
Son of a bitch.
-[sighs]
-What the fuck?
What the fuck is this?
[groans]
Ahh! Fuck!
Damn thing won't start.
Well, won't you fuck me?
Can you fucking untie me?
-Where'd they take her?
-Oh, fuck this shit.
Where'd they take her?
You know January.
Where did they take her?
Oh, fuck you!
I'll make this
simple for you.
Um...
You tell me
what I want to know
or I'll kill you.
Okay, okay. Hold on.
Hold. Just hold--
Hold the fuck on.
-Okay.
-Just hold on one second.
-Where is she?
-I can't think.
Oh, that's where she is.
She's dead.
She's already dead. Yeah.
Sorry, you're fucked.
No, no, no.
Stop! Stop!
-Please.
-Keep talking.
Okay, it was Brake.
Okay? He was trying
to fucking sneak off with her,
that fucking dumb
piece of shit.
Okay?
He fucking knew better.
It was his own damn
fucking fault.
-Is he dead?
-Yeah.
Who killed him? You?
Yeah. I fucking
killed him. Okay.
What the fuck are you
gonna do about it?
Okay! Fuck!
-Where's January?
-Fuck.
I took her to the compound.
Okay, the brother's wandering
the fucking compound.
-So I took her there.
-Is she alive?
If she was, she's wishing
right now that...
that she wasn't.
Listen, Alejandro, just--
He wanted that bitch, man.
-And, well,
he fucking got her.
-Where's the compound?
It's fucking over, man.
It's fucking over.
-Where's the compound?
-I'm just doing
what I had to do, man.
Fuck. I'm a runner, okay?
I come here to make sure
that fucking shit runs right.
Do you understand me?
I'm not supposed
to be dealing
with that
fucking shit right now!
-Let me out of here!
-Where's the com--
-Look, what is wrong
with you?
-Ahh!
If you had a lawn mower
in my face,
I'd be telling you everything.
[screaming] Fuck!
[Davenport grunts]
Oh, I see the problem.
It's a spark plug.
-What?
-I should have that
fixed in a jiffy.
-Oh, it'll work now.
-No!
-No! Fuck!
-[motor turning over]
Oh, yeah.
-Fuck!
-Hey, relax.
-Fuck you.
-I'm just gonna
take a little off the top.
No, no, no, no!
-[flesh squelching]
-I'll fucking tell you!
[groaning]
Ah! Fuck!
I'll fucking tell you.
Okay, okay, okay,
I'll take you to
the fucking compound.
-[groans]
-[Bowdrie sighs]
All right, let's get to it.
[Bowdrie] Dear Tag.
Kid, you are
the best part of my life.
And I have loved
every second with you.
Every second,
every minute,
every day.
A long time ago,
I told you a lie.
I did it to protect you.
But maybe
I was just scared.
Maybe I was just trying
to protect myself.
I don't know anymore.
I was never scared
before you were born.
Then the day you came...
Well, I learned different.
You always believed
your mom was dead.
But she's not.
She's been imprisoned for
doing some horrible things,
but she's
a different person now.
Last four months, every week
since she got out of jail,
she's been
sending you letters.
She misses you,
and she loves you.
But I destroyed
those letters.
Each and every one
Because I didn't feel
that she deserved you
or your forgiveness
or your love
after what she had done.
But maybe it was me
who didn't deserve you.
The things I did
for what I've been--
A liar, a coward.
Every day
I've lied to you
because I didn't
want you to be hurt.
I thought I was
protecting you,
but I don't know.
I hope someday
you can forgive me.
You can take your time
about it.
I've never been
much for forgiving,
but I think you are.
One of the things
I love about you.
I'm gonna
check on our friend.
And, if you find this,
it means it didn't go
so well as I hoped.
And I'm sorry
for letting you down.
[gun cocking]
The cabin is yours.
You know
where the money is buried.
Don't spend it
all on dumb stuff.
Take good care of the truck,
and she'll take
good care of you.
Keep your gun clean.
Never stop drawing.
The world is ugly,
but you are beautiful
and strong and good.
And good wins
down the line.
I love you forever.
Always have.
-Bowdrie.
-[engine turning over]
[Davenport groans]
Davenport.
Hey, my friend here
has a...
[gagging]
[]
[guns clacking]
Hey, front gate.
Where you at?
Ricky, where you at?
[Davenport grunting]
Ricky. What's up, dawg?
Where you at?
Come in, come in.
[scoffs] Shit.
[shotgun cocks]
[Alejandro] You look lost...
pardner.
No, I'm lookin
for a friend.
I know she's here.
Friend?
We have no friends
here, cowboy.
I can see that.
Why don't we make this easy?
Hand her over.
Because, you know I'm not
going home without her.
[Alejandro]
I know who you are.
Flag him in the back.
I sent some of my boys
out to you,
and they never
came back home.
Did you kill them?
Look, I just want my friend.
I don't want any trouble.
I figure I can make
a trade with this fella.
A trade?
[Alejandro scoffs]
"A trade."
Two of my guys are missing,
probably dead.
And you want to
make a fucking trade?
-Yep.
-Fucking shit.
No. Cowboy...
you fucked up
coming out here.
He's gonna kill
the both of us, man.
-You understand?
-I just want the girl.
Well, I'll give you your girl
if you give me yours.
Huh?
Bowdrie!
We know everything.
[clanking]
You know that I know,
and I know that you know.
-[Tag breathing heavily]
-And I know...
I'm gonna take Tag.
[gunfire]
Move!
[grunts]
[sighs]
[gunfire continues]
[panting]
[panting]
Oh, baby!
Motherfucker!
Stop shooting at the lab!
[grunting]
Fuck you!
Yeah.
[panting]
[]
Fuck!
[breathing heavily]
It's gonna be all right.
I'll come back. Okay?
-Fuck you, motherf--
-Go away!
-Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
-Go away!
Run away!
[indistinct radio chatter]
[grunts]
[Alejandro]
I was different
than the rest
of the kids my age.
Oh, yes.
I was the king.
That is something--
[Bowdrie groaning]
-[groans loudly]
-All this shit for nothing!
Over nobody!
You don't even know me.
I am the king.
-I am the f--
-[gunshot]
[over tape]
I was a kid full of joy.
[sighs, grunts]
Kid full of expectations.
A kid full of expectations
and dreams to come true.
But I stepped at some point
with the wrong stone.
I was very young.
-[woman sobbing]
-[Bowdrie breathing heavily]
[sobbing continues]
[]
[sighs heavily]
You're gonna be all right.
I've seen much worse.
[Bowdrie] Uh... Want me
to go with you?
-Yeah?
-No.
All right.
[]
[]
When the morning
Fades us
Tangled up inside
A rage
Like the clouds
Could break away apart
Bring it back to colors
Echoes of the open tongue
Do you remember
How it feels?
Do you hear it calling?
Do you hear it
Calling out?
It's like the waters
Into rivers into lakes
Do you hear it calling?
Do you hear it
Calling out?
Is it the start
Of something
Better than we make?
It's a tunnel vision
Make it breathe
And come alive
Smoke that station lingers
Long before the fire
No more tainted sorrows
No one cares
When it collides
I grabbed your look
Tumbling down
Do you hear it calling?
Do you hear it
Calling out?
It's like the waters
Into rivers into lakes
Do you hear it calling?
Do you hear it
Calling out?
Is it the start of
Something better
Than we made?
Loose threads
Start to make a mess
When you cut the fence
You hear it calling out
Hear it calling out
Do you hear it calling?
Do you hear it
Calling out?
It's like the waters
Into rivers into lakes
Do you hear it calling?
Do you hear it
Calling out?
Is it the start
Of something
Better than we make?
