Sweet Virginia (2017) Movie Script
I'll tell ya, glad you're here
I didn't think you'd make it.
Heard they're closin'
the highway tonight.
Ah, not yet.
Fire's still 65 miles out.
- Yeah?
- Ah!
Thanks. Cheers.
You're sweatin'
like a pig, Barrett.
- What's the buy-in?
- Hundred bucks.
What's the game?
- Texas hold 'em.
- Guy's robbing me blind.
So, what, it's just
the three of us?
Where's, uh, Carl and everybody?
Well, he's up at fort Yukon.
He won't be back for a
couple weeks and, uh
Wade's got his boy tonight.
What the hell is his name, uh..
- Matthew.
- Matthew, yeah.
- Hey, are you in or what?
- Uh, duty calls.
Hello?
Did I wake you?
No, I'm up.
How was your meeting?
Well, all that's left
are the signatures.
- Good.
- Drive was a stretch.
Where are you now?
Lou's.
Okay.
I think I might go to bed.
'Night.
'Night.
All I'm saying is
you have to have options.
That's, that's all.
Without options, you're gonna
end up finding yourself...
- you young kids, you're only out chasin' a buck.
- Well..
Y... you don't know the meaning
of the word principle.
A man's gotta have principles. Am I right?
- That's right.
But think about how much money
you'd make selling this?
Oh, excuse me if
I'm mistaken, but, uh..
People still need to eat
and drink, yeah?
- Alright, but think about the competition, huh?
- Heh.
- You got, you got..
- Are we gonna finish this hand?
Yeah, big... big corporations
and... and chains
franchises breathing
down your neck.
Yeah.
We've got to move
with the times.
Now, when we have a
republican in the white house
come November,
I'll tell you this..
What the fuck
are you talkin' about?
Oh!
We can only hope.
And I'll drink to that.
- Cheers.
- How do you live with yourself?
Mm..
This hand will never
change, will it?
Gah.. Uh, excuse me,
we're closed.
- Uh, fucking kids. No respect for anyone.
- I got it.
No, no, no. No, no, don't do
anything, just... Lou, stop.
Maybe you didn't
hear our friend..
Can I have
the early bird special?
What?
The early bird special?
With a glass of water, please.
You need to go right now.
Mm.. No.
I can't.
Uh... I'm hungry.
Maybe you're not understanding
what I'm saying.
Do you, do you have a wife
that you have to
get home to, Mitchel?
Is it Mitchel?
Is your name Mitchel?
Do I know you?
I don't know.
Just be straight with me.
I'm being straight with you.
Can I have
the early bird special?
Please?
Get the fuck out right now.
Get the fuck out right now.
One, two.
So, what's goin' on?
What the hell was that about?
Why'd you speak
to him like that?
I'd have done a lot
more given the chance.
Well, who the hell was he?
I don't know. I don't
think he was from here.
He was, uh..
Maybe we should call it a night.
Hey!
I told you we're closed.
- Morning, sunshine.
- Hey, Sam.
Is this too loud?
Not even a little bit.
- Coffee fresh?
- Made it this morning.
Ah, you're an angel,
mags. Heaven sent.
- Tell you that too much?
- Nope.
That's a good thing.
Want to know why?
- Why? - 'Cause I ain't
never gonna quit.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Where's Rosie?
- She's on cleaning duty.
- No school today?
- Yeah, not till 9:30.
Oh, I got another
complaint about room 128.
Hey, Sam, I was wondering
could I pick up
a few extra shifts
before the holidays?
- Thinkin' about goin' on a trip.
- Trip?
Where you thinkin' about goin'?
- Don't know yet.
- Hmm..
Any ideas?
If I were you, I'd just
head out to spruce valley.
I was thinkin' somethin'
more like Florida.
- Oh, god.
- What?
You don't go to Florida on purpose, mags.
- Why?
I'll tell you one thing, I'll tell
you that, cause that Florida..
Florida is a,
it's not a trip. It's a..
- It's a death sentence.
- What are you jaded?
Jaded. Spell jaded.
There's no end
to my wisdom, mags.
One of these days you
are gonna realize that.
You comin' to the game?
What kind of question
is that? Am I coming?
What do I always tell you?
"I'm the best goddamn point
guard the mustangs ever had."
It's not just the best,
it's the most generous.
Never underestimate
the power of generosity.
- What are you looking for?
- Papers.
- Where are the papers?
- Right here.
Thank you.
'Course I'm gonna
come to the game.
I wouldn't miss it
for the world.
Good, 'cause I need a ride.
Well played. You got me.
Are you going to
Bernadette's for the wake?
Well..
I think we all should.
- It's real nice of her.
- Hmm.
Considering there was
no public burial.
There's no, there's no words
for what these people
are going through, mags.
No word.
Disgusting, every single time.
Well, go to the store.
I'm sure it's just
two miles down the road.
It's walking distance.
Mr. Barnes,
it's the manager.
Oh, fucking hell.
How you doing,
Mr. Barnes? It's, um, Sam.
You know, I'm the manager
here at the motel.
I think we... we met
a few days back, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Look, I hate to bother
you, I really do. I, uh..
I like to, I like to
let people sorta..
- What do you want?
- Well, um..
Unfortunately, sir, there's been
a couple of complaints here
about your room, see, and, um..
- W... wait a second.
- I'm just...
- What kind of complaints?
- Well, noise, sir.
There's... there's... there's
quite a bit of noise
I here comin' out of here and
if you could just do me a favor
just try to keep the noise down.
- Sure told him, huh?
- Mm.
I laid it down, didn't I?
Good day at the office,
sweetheart.
Do good.
You alright?
Yeah.
We were wondering
where you were.
There's a big turnout
down there.
Josephine thinks somebody
should make a speech.
I wanted to thank you for..
Putting all of this together.
That's all. I gotta run,
it's my mom's waiting.
What am I supposed to do
with all his stuff?
We just threw
Mitchel's stuff out.
'Cause mom says it's part
of the cleansing process.
A fresh start.
He... he was
a man, Lila.
I know.
I know what
you're sayin'. I do.
- You're not alone.
- I'm sorry.
I mean, listen to me complain.
You and Mitchel didn't get
three years of marriage.
That doesn't mean
I've got it any worse.
Maybe they're some place better.
In peace.
Maybe.
Still haven't shed
a goddamn tear.
Eighteen years of marriage..
Not one.
It's disgraceful.
You shouldn't talk that way.
I wasn't the best wife, Lila.
I could've been better.
You look organized.
Oh, it's all tom.
Well, tom didn't really
trust the banks.
- Did he?
- Nope.
Mitchel just always thought
he was avoiding taxes.
Yeah, everyone did
but he was right.
Why pay someone an arm and a leg
to keep what's yours?
You let me know if you
need anything, okay?
Mm-hmm.
I'm so sorry, Bernie.
Yeah. Me too.
Fuckin' mess.
- Cheryl's having nightmares.
- Mm..
Girls too.
What's the chief say?
Well, it's his jurisdiction
but he's talking about
bringing some boys from upstate.
Last thing we need
city officials..
Flashin' their badges,
asking questions.
Well..
People want answers, Marty.
- Am I interrupting?
- No, not at all.
Just on my way.
Once again, Bernie,
my condolences.
- Cheryl gives her love.
- Thanks.
- Sam.
- Yeah.
Christ, Bern, I..
Don't know what to say.
You don't have to say anything.
Yeah.
Your hair's gettin' long.
I need to cut it again.
Yeah.
You think I could
come by tonight?
I don't know, Bern.
You think that's a good idea?
Elwood?
Ever been to California?
- What?
- California.
My mom was from there.
El Cerrito or some shit.
Born in 1949.
You ever been there?
- No.
- No.
Think I wanna go there.
Why did you kill those men?
I did my job.
It was supposed to be
just Mitchel. That's all.
I sent miles a picture. From..
The one from last Christmas
with the beige sweater,
uh, cause I remember...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
This isn't miles' deal anymore.
I did what had to be done.
I... I didn't ask
for this.
Those other men
didn't deserve...
Your husband wasn't
comin' out of the bar.
It is as simple as that.
I was told he was gonna
be out by midnight.
So whose fault is it?
They think it was a robbery.
Fuck! You should
be celebratin'.
Tell me when
I'm gonna get my money.
You don't have
to worry about it.
It's all,
it's all taken care of.
Okay. When?
- Didn't miles expl...
- When?
This week!
I'm gonna go see a..
Our la..
Mitchel's lawyer.
I'm owed 50.
You remember that.
There's plenty. Mitchel
was good with money.
Why did you want him dead?
Did he beat you up?
Something like that?
No.
No.
- He was always cheating on me.
- Oh.
Mitchel was a fucking pig.
There you go.
I'll give you my number.
Call me if you need.
Maybe if all,
this all works out, I..
I'll take you to dinner.
Movie, somethin' like that.
What? No.
I'm just kiddin'.
I don't need to tell you
what's gonna happen
if I don't get the money
that I'm owed.
You understand?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Okay.
Hmm.
I brought you a book.
No one saw me.
I really wanna cut this hair.
For what?
You just wanna put me
in a beauty contest
don't you? Huh?
It's a lost cause, Bern.
- No, you're not.
- Mm.
I love you.
You're out of your mind.
You're a good man.
Tom was a good man.
Right?
Yeah.
I don't know, Bern, it's just..
- I liked him, you know?
- Yeah.
Where do you think he is?
I don't know, Bernie.
Heaven.
You really believe that?
No.
I think he's still here.
- I can feel him.
- Yeah.
He'll always be with you, Bern.
We hadn't made love
in five years.
I don't know.
You get weighed down
by convenience..
I guess.
You can't overlook
somethin' like that.
Hi.
How ya doin'?
Oh, sorry.
Uh, my name is Elwood.
Uh, 'Kay. Sam.
- Hi, Sam. Nice to meet ya.
- Yeah.
I'm stayin' in room 125.
A pretty girl checked me
in a few nights back.
I said that I'd be out
by this evening, but, uh..
There's been a slight
change of plan.
Yeah, no problem, lemme just
just check the book.
You said, uh..
- You said, uh, what, 1... 125?
- 1..
1-2-5.
Yep, that's the one.
I was hopin' I could
just hold on to it
for a couple more days.
Okay. Yeah.
Yeah, room's
all yours. It's..
Oh, great.
Just doing my job, is all.
- You a Nazi?
- Sorry?
Oh, the, uh..
Used to belong
to my grandfather.
He took it off a German soldier
there in the, in the war.
He use to tell us
that he used it too.
He never would've made it
home without it, he said.
Oh, what happened to the
man that it belonged to?
The German did, uh.. Did
your grandfather shoot him?
Uh, he said he didn't.
I guess he just,
uh, found the guy there.
You know, he... he was
slumped under a tree
and, uh, he was... he was
holdin' on
to a picture of
his... his sweetheart so..
How'd he die then?
I don't know.
Broken heart, I guess.
Better than a bullet.
Yeah, maybe, maybe not, right?
Look, I'm real glad we
got this worked out..
Holy fuck!
- Holy fuckin' shit!
- What?
I knew it.
I knew it as soon as I saw you outside.
That's you!
You're, you're the
young rodeo champ.
The bull rider, Russo.
Uh, well,
ro... uh, Rossi.
Rossi.
That's what it is.
Not... not... not so
young anymore, but, yes..
Oh, man, my daddy
would have a heart attack
if he could see you
right now, you know that?
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
He's a Virginia man
too, like yourself..
Okay, okay. Which part?
Uh, he raised me in lynchburg.
- Okay. Okay.
- Yeah.
Wow, he use to drive out
to all your shows.
- He used to go out of state too.
- Wow.
- Wyoming, Tennessee.
- Okay.
He used to save all
your newspaper clippings
with your pictures,
he... he worshipped
the ground that you walked on.
Okay.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
Hey, uh, you must get
recognized here. Right?
It must get on your
nerves all the time.
- People comin' up to you and everything.
- No.
I mean, up here people they
don't know about that.
If they did, they forgot. Doesn't
really bother me either way, so..
They're fuckin' idiots.
Well, you know,
it's just, it's far away
from Virginia is all, so..
No, no.
- It's really not.
Alright.
Yep.
See you tomorrow, Sam.
Well, I'm glad we,
uh... Get to..
Holy shit.
Do me a favor,
say hello to the old man
for me, alright.
- What?
- I just..
Pass my regards
to your, to your father.
I can't do that.
He's dead, so..
- Sorry to hear that.
- Nah. I'll see ya.
Yeah.
Sorry about the wait. Uh, can
I get you somethin' to drink?
Hmm? No. No, thank you.
- So, miss McCabe...
- Lila, please.
Lila.
I don't really know if
it's my place to discuss
such a formidable matter, but..
Were you aware of your husband's
financial difficulties?
"Difficulties?"
His troubles?
As you're probably aware, I hadn't
seen Mitchel in a number of years
so this is relatively
new information
for both of us.
Anyway, I,
I ran some credit checks
and I called the
taxation department...
The taxation?
Wait, w..
I don't understand.
Your husband was bankrupt.
I'm sorry to be the one
to lay that on...
No, no, Mitchel
was an entrepreneur.
A businessman. He had
thousands of dollars.
How much did you
really know about
your husband's businesses?
Two former partners
were suing him.
He's had run-ins with the
IRS for several years.
What about the will?
The insurance?
He showed me papers, I..
Those policies don't exist.
I have bills.
I have expenses.
I'm sorry, but..
None of that carries any weight.
I... I... it's of no
consequence and now..
The bank owns your home.
But I..
I still need to make
a payment on the casket.
It was solid mahogany.
I can't give that back.
If..
If I had known about..
Any of this, then..
I would have Th...
thrown that monster out
with the trash.
Thanks.
Close the door behind you.
- Hey, hey.
- Shit.
Hey.
Been paintin' the town?
Somethin' like that, it's
a, uh, retirement party.
Oh. Hope it
wasn't your own.
How 'bout you? What are
you doin' up so late?
- Causing mischief?
- No, not at all. Just can't sleep.
Was thinking about going to that diner
there up the road, grabbin' a bite.
- It's pretty good.
- Yeah?
Wanna join me?
I appreciate it, but, no,
I, uh, I gotta work.
- Oh, come on.
- No, no. I gotta work.
Shift starts at midnight,
but you have a good time.
I'll have you back
before 12:00.
Promise.
Come on, Cinderella.
- Alright.
- Yeah?
- Sure.
- Should I drive?
Uh, no, let's, uh..
- Let's take the truck.
- Lemme lock up.
Thank you, ma'am.
Sure you don't want
nothin' to eat?
- Nope. Just, uh, just coffee for me.
That's it. Hm.
Not sure how you do it though.
What?
If I was eatin' all that sugar,
I'd be bouncin' off the walls.
- It doesn't affect me.
- Is that right?
- Mm-mm. Look at that.
- Uh-oh.
Steady as a clam.
Okay.
- No offense.
- Hey.
Hey. It's alright.
None taken.
- That wasn't a dig.
- I understand.
What, uh, what is that, anyway?
- The, with the shake?
- My hand there, huh?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it's..
- Is that rude? Okay.
- No, no, no, um..
Look, I guess I just took one
too many falls, you know?
Got bumped on the head.
You see, doctors, they
they... they call it
early onset, see?
So, I guess
it's only going in one direction
and that's just
you know, that's, that's
just the way it is.
Thanks for keeping me company.
I didn't know if you'd be up.
It's alright.
Haven't really been
sleepin' much lately.
Yeah.
Me neither.
It's like every time
I close my eyes
I have a nightmare.
Mom says I used to get
bad dreams as a girl
every summer.
And she used to have to
sing me Christmas Carols
to get to sleep.
- Did it work?
- I guess.
You miss ridin'?
Ever?
To be honest, no, I don't.
- Yeah.
- I just don't.
I mean..
I can see how a fall like that
can put off any young rider.
Even you.
- Yeah.
- But now you're in the motel business.
- Yes, I am.
- Mm.
The place belonged to my brother
so I, I got it from him.
How's that?
Well, he..
Well, he died, you know?
Didn't have a wife, didn't
have kids, anything like that
so I guess
I was just next in line.
Man.
You know..
When my mother passed
she left me with nothin',
either.
Nothin'.
Her only son too.
Imagine that.
Hmm.
But she had it tough.
Full-blown tuberculosis.
Spread like wildfire.
- She was a skeleton by the end.
- Jesus. I'm sorry...
My father wasn't around
to take care of her either
'cause he was serving time
in El Reno, Oklahoma.
He shot a federal judge
over a previous conviction.
Grand-theft auto,
I think it was.
But he got his comeuppance.
He was stabbed in a prison riot.
Christmas Eve, 1996.
They said he was dead before
he even hit the ground.
So..
What goes around comes around.
Okay.
- What flavor?
- Surprise me.
- Okay.
- Oh, let me give you some money.
No, no, it's fine.
So, uh, you got a woman?
Must be a woman in your life.
Yeah, a woman, yeah..
You know, I don't, uh..
I don't talk
about it much, but..
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess there is, I guess.
I guess, yeah, I guess
I got a woman. Yeah.
She special?
Yeah, she is.
- That's good.
- Yeah.
Make sure you hold onto that.
Uh-huh.
I mean, my parents'
marriage was built
on damn lies, you know...
Wait a sec, is that..
Hey, Lila!
Hey.
Hey... How are you?
- Hanging in there?
- I'm, I'm okay.
I'm surviving.
How are you?
Okay, good, good, good.
Uh, this is... this is
Elwood.
He's staying
at the motel, he's..
- Oh..
- Hi.
He's from Virginia,
same as me, so..
- Hello. Nice to meet you.
- You too.
So, what... what... what... what...
what... what brings you out so late?
Some milkshakes. We're
watching a movie over at...
Oh, which one?
- What?
- Uh, what movie?
- It's, uh, it's an oldie.
- Oh.
- It's with rock Hudson.
- Oh, he's awful.
I should, um, get going
Bernie's waiting outside
in the car.
Oh, is she here?
Okay.
Yeah.
It's really good to see you.
- And you.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- And nice meeting you.
Wow..
She's pretty.
- Hey, I'm, uh, I'm going to hit the head.
- Okay.
- Gimme a minute, alright?
- Mm-hmm.
What'd you go for?
Chocolate.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Why?
You look pale.
No..
I'm just tired.
Tom?
Tom, a bird just flew
into the window.
Tom?
Tom?
Tom?
- How long have you been fucking him?
- What?
Sorry. Sorry.
You want me to sing you a Carol?
I'm okay.
You're saying
that you don't believe
the major problem,
the major moral issue
confronts our country
today is not pornography
it's not sexuality,
it's not abortion
it's not liberalized education
or any of these other things
that we typically identify.
The real basic
moral problem in America
is the lack of
confidence in one god.
Well, yeah,
that's absolutely right.
The lack of,
not only the lack of
confidence in the word of god
but the lack of submission to it
is the absolute point.
Even I would..
I saw the most gross
obscene, pornographic stuff
painted in frescoes
in the first century in Italy.
Just bent on sexuality
uh, heterosexual scene and..
Homosexuality,
where they wanna rape
the angels that show up,
they're so base.
Uh, even abortion.
If you go back in history,
abortion has been done..
And, so, those aren't
the issues.
The issue is all of that
runs absolutely rampant
when there is no fixed standard.
And, uh, this nation..
- Sam?
- Yeah?
Bernie's here.
- You alright?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- I'll tell her you're in the shower.
- Okay. Yeah.
- Hey, Bern.
- Hey.
Hey.
- Sorry to drop by unannounced.
- Ah..
Rose said you were takin' a
shower, I just thought I'd wait.
Yeah.
So, what, you just, you just
in the neighborhood, or..
I thought maybe, uh..
You might wanna
come over for dinner.
Tomorrow night, I mean.
- Uh... No. I..
- But, y... you know, I... if, uh..
Uh..
Um, yeah, it sounds great..
Bu... but, you know, I do,
I do have plans tomorrow..
So I, I don't know
if that's gonna..
No biggie.
It's Maggie, you know, playoffs.
I told her I'd take her to have some..
Uh, just I gotta do it. Okay?
That's nice.
Well, uh..
Y... you know if you wanted, I
could come by later, you know
after I drop her off, if that's
if that's good to you.
I'd like that.
Well..
- Alright.
- Yeah.
Rose, thank you. It was
nice talkin' with you.
Take care, hon.
- Bye, now.
- Okay.
Ma?
Hey, ma? It's me.
It's your son.
It's your son, ma.
Yeah, it's your boy.
Oh, miss you.
I thought you were dead.
Hey, ma.
Ma, listen.
I'm out of state
right now, okay?
I'm workin' though,
and I'm makin' some money.
And I'm sorry I haven't
called in a while.
I love you, ma.
Ma, do you hear me?
I love you.
Fucking faggot piece of shit.
- What? Huh?
- What did he say?
What'd you say?
What'd you say?
- You got a fucking problem?
- Oh.
Yeah, fuck off.
Keep lookin' at me.
Keep looking at me, you fucker.
Keep fuckin' looking at me.
Look at me, you waste of life.
Look at me, you
fuckin' waste of life.
I'll fuckin' kill you.
What the fuck you lookin' at?
Pick up your fuckin'
phone, you cunt!
Pick up your fuckin' phone!
Hey, don't worry about it.
Come here. Fuck him.
- Come on, motherfucker. Get it.
- Come here. Come here.
Hey!
Get the fuck..
Get the fuckin'..
You fucking..
You fucking..
Get your fucking hand down!
Get your fuckin' hand
down, you fuck!
Fuckin' hell..
I'll fuckin' kill ya!
Pick up your fuckin'
phone, you cunt.
Pick up your fuckin' phone!
Just for a little bit.
I've been sitting
around the house
with nobody to talk to.
Does he want me
to bring Mitchel's cat?
Okay.
Yeah. I know.
I love you too, mom.
Bye.
- Where's my money?
- I don't have it.
- I don't have it.
- Where's my money?
I don't have it.
I don't have it.
I don't have enough.
I can get it.
I can get it! I can
get it! I can get it!
I can get it!
Please, please.
I can get it.
I can get it.
- Please.
- Where are you gonna get it?
I... I know where.
What the fuck you lookin'
at, you fat asshole?
Fat fuckin' piece of shit.
Look at me like that again, I'll
knock your fuckin' teeth out.
You look like a fat fuckin'
woman, you fuckin' bitch.
Are you Paul?
Paul Anderson?
Who wants to know?
I'm a friend of miles.
He said you're reliable.
Alright, just,
uh, give me a second.
Okay.
- So, Fairvale, huh?
- Yeah.
It's a pretty small town.
- When's the job?
- Tonight.
- Tonight, tonight?
- Yeah.
I can't do it tonight.
I can't. I... I... I
got a date tonight.
I made reservations and everything.
It's French food. I can't.
French food?
You want this money or no?
- You got a gun?
- I ain't shootin' nobody.
It's just for protection.
If not a pistol,
then somethin' sharp.
- Those things'll kill you.
- Bullshit.
My grandfather still smokes.
He's 83 years old.
He's healthy as a horse.
He'll be dead soon.
- Defense.
- Defense.
- Defense.
- Defense.
- Defense.
- Defense.
- Defense.
- Defense.
- Defense.
- Defense.
- Defense.

Bronwyn! Bronwyn!
Come on, let's move.
Let's go. Let's go.
You alright, champ?
Never better.
Hmm.
Yeah. You'll play 'em
again next week.
You learn anything tonight?
Yeah, I can't trust
my team members...
Stop that, will ya?
- Saw number two shooting there with the left hand?
- Yeah.
- Yeah. You saw that.
- Yeah. I got to drive her right.
- That's it. She's gonna hate you next week.
- Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, you did great.
- Thanks for coming.
- Yeah.
I know my dad never would.
Mags, I love comin'.
Watchin' you out there, that..
Phew.
I mean, I don't..
I..
I don't... I don't talk
about it but..
You know..
I know you and Rosie,
you know that..
You know that..
That, that I..
That I had a daughter.
You know that, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
I know
I know you're cross at your
old man and I get that.
But you should know that..
Some part of him..
He wishes he could've
been here tonight.
I promise you that.
Sam, you would have been
the best dad to her.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nobody saw you.
- Can I come in?
- Yeah.
Can't get your game?
No one can.
Football seven days a week only
at the Fairvale wing factory.
Please drink responsibly.
There's absolutely
no words to describe
this, this atrocity
that occurred in our city
and our department
is working diligently
to bring those
responsible to justice.
Please pray with me for the victims'
families in this trying time.
That was police chief Kyle
Kerry speaking earlier today
at a press conference
about the Fairvale mass..
- Hey.
- What time is it?
It's late.
- Don't do that. Hey.
- No.
I tried so hard to be quiet too.
- Oh, it's okay.
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Why're you dressed?
- Mornin'.
- Hmm?
It's mornin'. Gotta go.
You don't have to.
I'll make breakfast.
- Hmm.
- You can eat it in bed.
Hmm.
Sounds so good.
But?
I can't.
You can't or you won't?
Hmm.
- Hmm?
- Bern, I gotta go now.
Where? Where you gotta..
- Bern.
- Huh?
Stop.
You still wanna do this?
I just don't even..
What are you doin'?
I'm asking you.
Yeah.
So stay.
I want you to stay.
And I'm tellin' you
that I cannot. Okay?
- Kiss me goodbye.
- No.
Howdy, ma'am.
Anybody helping you?
I'm staying in room 129.
I booked it this morning.
Alright. I hope
everything's goin' okay.
Yeah, there seems to be some
sort of fight next door. 128.
- A fight?
- I heard screaming.
Alright. You,
you stay dry, okay?
Take care, and sorry
for the inconvenience.
Ow! Get off of me!
Get away from me.
Get off me!
- Shut up!
- No!
You again. What's
the fuckin' problem now?
I think you know
what the problem is.
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop! What the.. What
the fuck are you doing?
- Stop it!
- Huh? Huh, you fucker?
What're you gonna do now, huh?
What the fuck are you doing?
You son of a bitch,
I fucking told you!
Don't knock on the door!
Fuck you!
Follow her.
Fuck.
Listen, open the door.
Open this door, listen!
Just fuckin' open
the door. Okay?
Come on, fuck!
Open this fuckin' door!
Open this fucking door!
Fucking hell!
Sir, you can't park here.
What the hell's going on?
Bern?
Come here. Come here.
Shh, shh.
I got you.
Hey.
I thought you were
still at the hospital.
Yeah, I was.
I'm going to get over to Bern's
get the place fixed up
before they cut her loose.
You've got to go
to school today, mags.
- No, I don't mind. Let me help.
- Mm-mm.
Don't let this craziness get in the
way of what you've gotta do. Alright?
Go on, get your stuff. I'll
give you a ride on the way in.
How is she?
She's gettin' there.
When is she comin' back home?
Soon enough.
I heard she killed
one of them, Sam.
Is that true?
Yeah.
Who was it?
Was, uh, just some kid.
And the other one just got away?
He's still out there?
Yeah, but he's cut up bad.
Police know what to look for.
They're gonna
search the hospitals.
He ain't gonna get far.
It's gonna be okay.
Are you okay?
Yeah. I am.
Things like this, mags,
you've just..
Just gotta let 'em pass
through, wait it out.
Now get your stuff.
I'll get the car.
Hey, pal.
Hey, Sam.
Seen your light on.
Was wondering if
you were up this early.
Oh, yeah, it's early, huh.
Leavin' us, huh?
Yeah, goin' home.
- Goin' back south?
- Yeah.
Well, it's, it's been
nice havin' you.
I'll just, uh, go ahead and get
the rest of your stuff for you.
Oh, no, no, I'm alright.
I don't need help.
You're bleedin'.
- Yep.
- Yeah.
I got into a little
accident yesterday
a little car accident,
but I'm okay.
You had an accident, huh?
Yep.
What're you doin'?
Sam..
- Hey, Sam..
- Piece of shit.
Sam!
Sam!
Hey, get back in the room!
- Get back!
- Sam!
Put that gun down.
I'm leavin', Sam. Okay?
You just..
You put it down.
That thing still shoot?
Put the gun down, I'm not
gonna say it again
I will shoot you dead.
That's it.
I'm out of your hair, okay?
I'm gonna call this square,
Sam, between me and you.
You just..
But I've got to go.
Just walk away from the car, alright?
Just walk away from...
You know, I didn't mean to shoot that man.
- Sam, let him go.
Hey, you go back in the
office! Go back now!
You should listen
to her. Okay?
I'm not lettin' you leave.
You just walk away from the car.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
- Walk away.
- I can't.
- I can't. I'm sorry.
- You just, just..
- S... stop.
- I can't.
Hey, stop.
Stop.
I didn't think you'd make it.
Heard they're closin'
the highway tonight.
Ah, not yet.
Fire's still 65 miles out.
- Yeah?
- Ah!
Thanks. Cheers.
You're sweatin'
like a pig, Barrett.
- What's the buy-in?
- Hundred bucks.
What's the game?
- Texas hold 'em.
- Guy's robbing me blind.
So, what, it's just
the three of us?
Where's, uh, Carl and everybody?
Well, he's up at fort Yukon.
He won't be back for a
couple weeks and, uh
Wade's got his boy tonight.
What the hell is his name, uh..
- Matthew.
- Matthew, yeah.
- Hey, are you in or what?
- Uh, duty calls.
Hello?
Did I wake you?
No, I'm up.
How was your meeting?
Well, all that's left
are the signatures.
- Good.
- Drive was a stretch.
Where are you now?
Lou's.
Okay.
I think I might go to bed.
'Night.
'Night.
All I'm saying is
you have to have options.
That's, that's all.
Without options, you're gonna
end up finding yourself...
- you young kids, you're only out chasin' a buck.
- Well..
Y... you don't know the meaning
of the word principle.
A man's gotta have principles. Am I right?
- That's right.
But think about how much money
you'd make selling this?
Oh, excuse me if
I'm mistaken, but, uh..
People still need to eat
and drink, yeah?
- Alright, but think about the competition, huh?
- Heh.
- You got, you got..
- Are we gonna finish this hand?
Yeah, big... big corporations
and... and chains
franchises breathing
down your neck.
Yeah.
We've got to move
with the times.
Now, when we have a
republican in the white house
come November,
I'll tell you this..
What the fuck
are you talkin' about?
Oh!
We can only hope.
And I'll drink to that.
- Cheers.
- How do you live with yourself?
Mm..
This hand will never
change, will it?
Gah.. Uh, excuse me,
we're closed.
- Uh, fucking kids. No respect for anyone.
- I got it.
No, no, no. No, no, don't do
anything, just... Lou, stop.
Maybe you didn't
hear our friend..
Can I have
the early bird special?
What?
The early bird special?
With a glass of water, please.
You need to go right now.
Mm.. No.
I can't.
Uh... I'm hungry.
Maybe you're not understanding
what I'm saying.
Do you, do you have a wife
that you have to
get home to, Mitchel?
Is it Mitchel?
Is your name Mitchel?
Do I know you?
I don't know.
Just be straight with me.
I'm being straight with you.
Can I have
the early bird special?
Please?
Get the fuck out right now.
Get the fuck out right now.
One, two.
So, what's goin' on?
What the hell was that about?
Why'd you speak
to him like that?
I'd have done a lot
more given the chance.
Well, who the hell was he?
I don't know. I don't
think he was from here.
He was, uh..
Maybe we should call it a night.
Hey!
I told you we're closed.
- Morning, sunshine.
- Hey, Sam.
Is this too loud?
Not even a little bit.
- Coffee fresh?
- Made it this morning.
Ah, you're an angel,
mags. Heaven sent.
- Tell you that too much?
- Nope.
That's a good thing.
Want to know why?
- Why? - 'Cause I ain't
never gonna quit.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Where's Rosie?
- She's on cleaning duty.
- No school today?
- Yeah, not till 9:30.
Oh, I got another
complaint about room 128.
Hey, Sam, I was wondering
could I pick up
a few extra shifts
before the holidays?
- Thinkin' about goin' on a trip.
- Trip?
Where you thinkin' about goin'?
- Don't know yet.
- Hmm..
Any ideas?
If I were you, I'd just
head out to spruce valley.
I was thinkin' somethin'
more like Florida.
- Oh, god.
- What?
You don't go to Florida on purpose, mags.
- Why?
I'll tell you one thing, I'll tell
you that, cause that Florida..
Florida is a,
it's not a trip. It's a..
- It's a death sentence.
- What are you jaded?
Jaded. Spell jaded.
There's no end
to my wisdom, mags.
One of these days you
are gonna realize that.
You comin' to the game?
What kind of question
is that? Am I coming?
What do I always tell you?
"I'm the best goddamn point
guard the mustangs ever had."
It's not just the best,
it's the most generous.
Never underestimate
the power of generosity.
- What are you looking for?
- Papers.
- Where are the papers?
- Right here.
Thank you.
'Course I'm gonna
come to the game.
I wouldn't miss it
for the world.
Good, 'cause I need a ride.
Well played. You got me.
Are you going to
Bernadette's for the wake?
Well..
I think we all should.
- It's real nice of her.
- Hmm.
Considering there was
no public burial.
There's no, there's no words
for what these people
are going through, mags.
No word.
Disgusting, every single time.
Well, go to the store.
I'm sure it's just
two miles down the road.
It's walking distance.
Mr. Barnes,
it's the manager.
Oh, fucking hell.
How you doing,
Mr. Barnes? It's, um, Sam.
You know, I'm the manager
here at the motel.
I think we... we met
a few days back, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Look, I hate to bother
you, I really do. I, uh..
I like to, I like to
let people sorta..
- What do you want?
- Well, um..
Unfortunately, sir, there's been
a couple of complaints here
about your room, see, and, um..
- W... wait a second.
- I'm just...
- What kind of complaints?
- Well, noise, sir.
There's... there's... there's
quite a bit of noise
I here comin' out of here and
if you could just do me a favor
just try to keep the noise down.
- Sure told him, huh?
- Mm.
I laid it down, didn't I?
Good day at the office,
sweetheart.
Do good.
You alright?
Yeah.
We were wondering
where you were.
There's a big turnout
down there.
Josephine thinks somebody
should make a speech.
I wanted to thank you for..
Putting all of this together.
That's all. I gotta run,
it's my mom's waiting.
What am I supposed to do
with all his stuff?
We just threw
Mitchel's stuff out.
'Cause mom says it's part
of the cleansing process.
A fresh start.
He... he was
a man, Lila.
I know.
I know what
you're sayin'. I do.
- You're not alone.
- I'm sorry.
I mean, listen to me complain.
You and Mitchel didn't get
three years of marriage.
That doesn't mean
I've got it any worse.
Maybe they're some place better.
In peace.
Maybe.
Still haven't shed
a goddamn tear.
Eighteen years of marriage..
Not one.
It's disgraceful.
You shouldn't talk that way.
I wasn't the best wife, Lila.
I could've been better.
You look organized.
Oh, it's all tom.
Well, tom didn't really
trust the banks.
- Did he?
- Nope.
Mitchel just always thought
he was avoiding taxes.
Yeah, everyone did
but he was right.
Why pay someone an arm and a leg
to keep what's yours?
You let me know if you
need anything, okay?
Mm-hmm.
I'm so sorry, Bernie.
Yeah. Me too.
Fuckin' mess.
- Cheryl's having nightmares.
- Mm..
Girls too.
What's the chief say?
Well, it's his jurisdiction
but he's talking about
bringing some boys from upstate.
Last thing we need
city officials..
Flashin' their badges,
asking questions.
Well..
People want answers, Marty.
- Am I interrupting?
- No, not at all.
Just on my way.
Once again, Bernie,
my condolences.
- Cheryl gives her love.
- Thanks.
- Sam.
- Yeah.
Christ, Bern, I..
Don't know what to say.
You don't have to say anything.
Yeah.
Your hair's gettin' long.
I need to cut it again.
Yeah.
You think I could
come by tonight?
I don't know, Bern.
You think that's a good idea?
Elwood?
Ever been to California?
- What?
- California.
My mom was from there.
El Cerrito or some shit.
Born in 1949.
You ever been there?
- No.
- No.
Think I wanna go there.
Why did you kill those men?
I did my job.
It was supposed to be
just Mitchel. That's all.
I sent miles a picture. From..
The one from last Christmas
with the beige sweater,
uh, cause I remember...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
This isn't miles' deal anymore.
I did what had to be done.
I... I didn't ask
for this.
Those other men
didn't deserve...
Your husband wasn't
comin' out of the bar.
It is as simple as that.
I was told he was gonna
be out by midnight.
So whose fault is it?
They think it was a robbery.
Fuck! You should
be celebratin'.
Tell me when
I'm gonna get my money.
You don't have
to worry about it.
It's all,
it's all taken care of.
Okay. When?
- Didn't miles expl...
- When?
This week!
I'm gonna go see a..
Our la..
Mitchel's lawyer.
I'm owed 50.
You remember that.
There's plenty. Mitchel
was good with money.
Why did you want him dead?
Did he beat you up?
Something like that?
No.
No.
- He was always cheating on me.
- Oh.
Mitchel was a fucking pig.
There you go.
I'll give you my number.
Call me if you need.
Maybe if all,
this all works out, I..
I'll take you to dinner.
Movie, somethin' like that.
What? No.
I'm just kiddin'.
I don't need to tell you
what's gonna happen
if I don't get the money
that I'm owed.
You understand?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Okay.
Hmm.
I brought you a book.
No one saw me.
I really wanna cut this hair.
For what?
You just wanna put me
in a beauty contest
don't you? Huh?
It's a lost cause, Bern.
- No, you're not.
- Mm.
I love you.
You're out of your mind.
You're a good man.
Tom was a good man.
Right?
Yeah.
I don't know, Bern, it's just..
- I liked him, you know?
- Yeah.
Where do you think he is?
I don't know, Bernie.
Heaven.
You really believe that?
No.
I think he's still here.
- I can feel him.
- Yeah.
He'll always be with you, Bern.
We hadn't made love
in five years.
I don't know.
You get weighed down
by convenience..
I guess.
You can't overlook
somethin' like that.
Hi.
How ya doin'?
Oh, sorry.
Uh, my name is Elwood.
Uh, 'Kay. Sam.
- Hi, Sam. Nice to meet ya.
- Yeah.
I'm stayin' in room 125.
A pretty girl checked me
in a few nights back.
I said that I'd be out
by this evening, but, uh..
There's been a slight
change of plan.
Yeah, no problem, lemme just
just check the book.
You said, uh..
- You said, uh, what, 1... 125?
- 1..
1-2-5.
Yep, that's the one.
I was hopin' I could
just hold on to it
for a couple more days.
Okay. Yeah.
Yeah, room's
all yours. It's..
Oh, great.
Just doing my job, is all.
- You a Nazi?
- Sorry?
Oh, the, uh..
Used to belong
to my grandfather.
He took it off a German soldier
there in the, in the war.
He use to tell us
that he used it too.
He never would've made it
home without it, he said.
Oh, what happened to the
man that it belonged to?
The German did, uh.. Did
your grandfather shoot him?
Uh, he said he didn't.
I guess he just,
uh, found the guy there.
You know, he... he was
slumped under a tree
and, uh, he was... he was
holdin' on
to a picture of
his... his sweetheart so..
How'd he die then?
I don't know.
Broken heart, I guess.
Better than a bullet.
Yeah, maybe, maybe not, right?
Look, I'm real glad we
got this worked out..
Holy fuck!
- Holy fuckin' shit!
- What?
I knew it.
I knew it as soon as I saw you outside.
That's you!
You're, you're the
young rodeo champ.
The bull rider, Russo.
Uh, well,
ro... uh, Rossi.
Rossi.
That's what it is.
Not... not... not so
young anymore, but, yes..
Oh, man, my daddy
would have a heart attack
if he could see you
right now, you know that?
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
He's a Virginia man
too, like yourself..
Okay, okay. Which part?
Uh, he raised me in lynchburg.
- Okay. Okay.
- Yeah.
Wow, he use to drive out
to all your shows.
- He used to go out of state too.
- Wow.
- Wyoming, Tennessee.
- Okay.
He used to save all
your newspaper clippings
with your pictures,
he... he worshipped
the ground that you walked on.
Okay.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
Hey, uh, you must get
recognized here. Right?
It must get on your
nerves all the time.
- People comin' up to you and everything.
- No.
I mean, up here people they
don't know about that.
If they did, they forgot. Doesn't
really bother me either way, so..
They're fuckin' idiots.
Well, you know,
it's just, it's far away
from Virginia is all, so..
No, no.
- It's really not.
Alright.
Yep.
See you tomorrow, Sam.
Well, I'm glad we,
uh... Get to..
Holy shit.
Do me a favor,
say hello to the old man
for me, alright.
- What?
- I just..
Pass my regards
to your, to your father.
I can't do that.
He's dead, so..
- Sorry to hear that.
- Nah. I'll see ya.
Yeah.
Sorry about the wait. Uh, can
I get you somethin' to drink?
Hmm? No. No, thank you.
- So, miss McCabe...
- Lila, please.
Lila.
I don't really know if
it's my place to discuss
such a formidable matter, but..
Were you aware of your husband's
financial difficulties?
"Difficulties?"
His troubles?
As you're probably aware, I hadn't
seen Mitchel in a number of years
so this is relatively
new information
for both of us.
Anyway, I,
I ran some credit checks
and I called the
taxation department...
The taxation?
Wait, w..
I don't understand.
Your husband was bankrupt.
I'm sorry to be the one
to lay that on...
No, no, Mitchel
was an entrepreneur.
A businessman. He had
thousands of dollars.
How much did you
really know about
your husband's businesses?
Two former partners
were suing him.
He's had run-ins with the
IRS for several years.
What about the will?
The insurance?
He showed me papers, I..
Those policies don't exist.
I have bills.
I have expenses.
I'm sorry, but..
None of that carries any weight.
I... I... it's of no
consequence and now..
The bank owns your home.
But I..
I still need to make
a payment on the casket.
It was solid mahogany.
I can't give that back.
If..
If I had known about..
Any of this, then..
I would have Th...
thrown that monster out
with the trash.
Thanks.
Close the door behind you.
- Hey, hey.
- Shit.
Hey.
Been paintin' the town?
Somethin' like that, it's
a, uh, retirement party.
Oh. Hope it
wasn't your own.
How 'bout you? What are
you doin' up so late?
- Causing mischief?
- No, not at all. Just can't sleep.
Was thinking about going to that diner
there up the road, grabbin' a bite.
- It's pretty good.
- Yeah?
Wanna join me?
I appreciate it, but, no,
I, uh, I gotta work.
- Oh, come on.
- No, no. I gotta work.
Shift starts at midnight,
but you have a good time.
I'll have you back
before 12:00.
Promise.
Come on, Cinderella.
- Alright.
- Yeah?
- Sure.
- Should I drive?
Uh, no, let's, uh..
- Let's take the truck.
- Lemme lock up.
Thank you, ma'am.
Sure you don't want
nothin' to eat?
- Nope. Just, uh, just coffee for me.
That's it. Hm.
Not sure how you do it though.
What?
If I was eatin' all that sugar,
I'd be bouncin' off the walls.
- It doesn't affect me.
- Is that right?
- Mm-mm. Look at that.
- Uh-oh.
Steady as a clam.
Okay.
- No offense.
- Hey.
Hey. It's alright.
None taken.
- That wasn't a dig.
- I understand.
What, uh, what is that, anyway?
- The, with the shake?
- My hand there, huh?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it's..
- Is that rude? Okay.
- No, no, no, um..
Look, I guess I just took one
too many falls, you know?
Got bumped on the head.
You see, doctors, they
they... they call it
early onset, see?
So, I guess
it's only going in one direction
and that's just
you know, that's, that's
just the way it is.
Thanks for keeping me company.
I didn't know if you'd be up.
It's alright.
Haven't really been
sleepin' much lately.
Yeah.
Me neither.
It's like every time
I close my eyes
I have a nightmare.
Mom says I used to get
bad dreams as a girl
every summer.
And she used to have to
sing me Christmas Carols
to get to sleep.
- Did it work?
- I guess.
You miss ridin'?
Ever?
To be honest, no, I don't.
- Yeah.
- I just don't.
I mean..
I can see how a fall like that
can put off any young rider.
Even you.
- Yeah.
- But now you're in the motel business.
- Yes, I am.
- Mm.
The place belonged to my brother
so I, I got it from him.
How's that?
Well, he..
Well, he died, you know?
Didn't have a wife, didn't
have kids, anything like that
so I guess
I was just next in line.
Man.
You know..
When my mother passed
she left me with nothin',
either.
Nothin'.
Her only son too.
Imagine that.
Hmm.
But she had it tough.
Full-blown tuberculosis.
Spread like wildfire.
- She was a skeleton by the end.
- Jesus. I'm sorry...
My father wasn't around
to take care of her either
'cause he was serving time
in El Reno, Oklahoma.
He shot a federal judge
over a previous conviction.
Grand-theft auto,
I think it was.
But he got his comeuppance.
He was stabbed in a prison riot.
Christmas Eve, 1996.
They said he was dead before
he even hit the ground.
So..
What goes around comes around.
Okay.
- What flavor?
- Surprise me.
- Okay.
- Oh, let me give you some money.
No, no, it's fine.
So, uh, you got a woman?
Must be a woman in your life.
Yeah, a woman, yeah..
You know, I don't, uh..
I don't talk
about it much, but..
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess there is, I guess.
I guess, yeah, I guess
I got a woman. Yeah.
She special?
Yeah, she is.
- That's good.
- Yeah.
Make sure you hold onto that.
Uh-huh.
I mean, my parents'
marriage was built
on damn lies, you know...
Wait a sec, is that..
Hey, Lila!
Hey.
Hey... How are you?
- Hanging in there?
- I'm, I'm okay.
I'm surviving.
How are you?
Okay, good, good, good.
Uh, this is... this is
Elwood.
He's staying
at the motel, he's..
- Oh..
- Hi.
He's from Virginia,
same as me, so..
- Hello. Nice to meet you.
- You too.
So, what... what... what... what...
what... what brings you out so late?
Some milkshakes. We're
watching a movie over at...
Oh, which one?
- What?
- Uh, what movie?
- It's, uh, it's an oldie.
- Oh.
- It's with rock Hudson.
- Oh, he's awful.
I should, um, get going
Bernie's waiting outside
in the car.
Oh, is she here?
Okay.
Yeah.
It's really good to see you.
- And you.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- And nice meeting you.
Wow..
She's pretty.
- Hey, I'm, uh, I'm going to hit the head.
- Okay.
- Gimme a minute, alright?
- Mm-hmm.
What'd you go for?
Chocolate.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Why?
You look pale.
No..
I'm just tired.
Tom?
Tom, a bird just flew
into the window.
Tom?
Tom?
Tom?
- How long have you been fucking him?
- What?
Sorry. Sorry.
You want me to sing you a Carol?
I'm okay.
You're saying
that you don't believe
the major problem,
the major moral issue
confronts our country
today is not pornography
it's not sexuality,
it's not abortion
it's not liberalized education
or any of these other things
that we typically identify.
The real basic
moral problem in America
is the lack of
confidence in one god.
Well, yeah,
that's absolutely right.
The lack of,
not only the lack of
confidence in the word of god
but the lack of submission to it
is the absolute point.
Even I would..
I saw the most gross
obscene, pornographic stuff
painted in frescoes
in the first century in Italy.
Just bent on sexuality
uh, heterosexual scene and..
Homosexuality,
where they wanna rape
the angels that show up,
they're so base.
Uh, even abortion.
If you go back in history,
abortion has been done..
And, so, those aren't
the issues.
The issue is all of that
runs absolutely rampant
when there is no fixed standard.
And, uh, this nation..
- Sam?
- Yeah?
Bernie's here.
- You alright?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- I'll tell her you're in the shower.
- Okay. Yeah.
- Hey, Bern.
- Hey.
Hey.
- Sorry to drop by unannounced.
- Ah..
Rose said you were takin' a
shower, I just thought I'd wait.
Yeah.
So, what, you just, you just
in the neighborhood, or..
I thought maybe, uh..
You might wanna
come over for dinner.
Tomorrow night, I mean.
- Uh... No. I..
- But, y... you know, I... if, uh..
Uh..
Um, yeah, it sounds great..
Bu... but, you know, I do,
I do have plans tomorrow..
So I, I don't know
if that's gonna..
No biggie.
It's Maggie, you know, playoffs.
I told her I'd take her to have some..
Uh, just I gotta do it. Okay?
That's nice.
Well, uh..
Y... you know if you wanted, I
could come by later, you know
after I drop her off, if that's
if that's good to you.
I'd like that.
Well..
- Alright.
- Yeah.
Rose, thank you. It was
nice talkin' with you.
Take care, hon.
- Bye, now.
- Okay.
Ma?
Hey, ma? It's me.
It's your son.
It's your son, ma.
Yeah, it's your boy.
Oh, miss you.
I thought you were dead.
Hey, ma.
Ma, listen.
I'm out of state
right now, okay?
I'm workin' though,
and I'm makin' some money.
And I'm sorry I haven't
called in a while.
I love you, ma.
Ma, do you hear me?
I love you.
Fucking faggot piece of shit.
- What? Huh?

What'd you say?
What'd you say?
- You got a fucking problem?
- Oh.
Yeah, fuck off.
Keep lookin' at me.
Keep looking at me, you fucker.
Keep fuckin' looking at me.
Look at me, you waste of life.
Look at me, you

I'll fuckin' kill you.
What the fuck you lookin' at?

Pick up your fuckin' phone!

Pick up your fuckin'

Pick up your fuckin' phone!
Just for a little bit.
I've been sitting
around the house
with nobody to talk to.
Does he want me

Okay.
Yeah. I know.
I love you too, mom.
Bye.
- Where's my money?
- I don't have it.
- I don't have it.
- Where's my money?
I don't have it.
I don't have it.
I don't have enough.

You look like a fat fuckin'

Are you Paul?
Paul Anderson?
Who wants to know?
I'm a friend of miles.
He said you're reliable.
Alright, just,
uh, give me a second.
Okay.
- So, Fairvale, huh?
- Yeah.
It's a pretty small town.
- When's the job?
- Tonight.
- Tonight, tonight?
- Yeah.
I can't do it tonight.
I can't. I... I... I
got a date tonight.
I made reservations and everything.
It's French food. I can't.
French food?
You want this money or no?
- You got a gun?
- I ain't shootin' nobody.
It's just for protection.
If not a pistol,
then somethin' sharp.
- Those things'll kill you.
- Bullshit.
My grandfather still smokes.
He's 83 years old.
He's healthy as a horse.
He'll be dead soon.
- Defense.
- Defense.
- Defense.
- Defense.
- Defense.
- Defense.

Bronwyn! Bronwyn!
Come on, let's move.
Let's go. Let's go.
You alright, champ?
Never better.
Hmm.
Yeah. You'll play 'em
again next week.
You learn anything tonight?
Yeah, I can't trust
my team members...
Stop that, will ya?
- Saw number two shooting there with the left hand?
- Yeah.
- Yeah. You saw that.
- Yeah. I got to drive her right.
- That's it. She's gonna hate you next week.
- Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, you did great.
- Thanks for coming.
- Yeah.
I know my dad never would.
Mags, I love comin'.
Watchin' you out there, that..
Phew.
I mean, I don't..
I..
I don't... I don't talk
about it but..
You know..
I know you and Rosie,

You know that..
That, that I..
That I had a daughter.
You know that, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
I know
I know you're cross at your
old man and I get that.
But you should know that..
Some part of him..
He wishes he could've
been here tonight.
I promise you that.
Sam, you would have been
the best dad to her.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nobody saw you.
- Can I come in?
- Yeah.
Can't get your game?
No one can.
Football seven days a week only
at the Fairvale wing factory.
Please drink responsibly.
There's absolutely
no words to describe
this, this atrocity
that occurred in our city
and our department
is working diligently
to bring those
responsible to justice.
Please pray with me for the victims'
families in this trying time.
That was police chief Kyle
Kerry speaking earlier today
at a press conference
about the Fairvale mass..
- Hey.
- What time is it?
It's late.
- Don't do that. Hey.
- No.
I tried so hard to be quiet too.
- Oh, it's okay.
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Why're you dressed?
- Mornin'.
- Hmm?
It's mornin'. Gotta go.
You don't have to.
I'll make breakfast.
- Hmm.
- You can eat it in bed.
Hmm.
Sounds so good.
But?
I can't.
You can't or you won't?
Hmm.
- Hmm?
- Bern, I gotta go now.
Where? Where you gotta..
- Bern.
- Huh?
Stop.
You still wanna do this?
I just don't even..
What are you doin'?
I'm asking you.
Yeah.
So stay.
I want you to stay.
And I'm tellin' you
that I cannot. Okay?
- Kiss me goodbye.
- No.
Howdy, ma'am.
Anybody helping you?
I'm staying in room 129.
I booked it this morning.
Alright. I hope
everything's goin' okay.
Yeah, there seems to be some
sort of fight next door. 128.
- A fight?
- I heard screaming.
Alright. You,
you stay dry, okay?
Take care, and sorry
for the inconvenience.
Ow! Get off of me!
Get away from me.
Get off me!
- Shut up!
- No!
You again. What's
the fuckin' problem now?
I think you know
what the problem is.
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop! What the.. What

- Stop it!
- Huh? Huh, you fucker?
What're you gonna do now, huh?
What the fuck are you doing?
You son of a bitch,

Don't knock on the door!
Fuck you!
Follow her.

Listen, open the door.
Open this door, listen!
Just fuckin' open
the door. Okay?
Come on, fuck!
Open this fuckin' door!
Open this fucking door!
Fucking hell!
Sir, you can't park here.
What the hell's going on?
Bern?
Come here. Come here.
Shh, shh.
I got you.
Hey.
I thought you were
still at the hospital.
Yeah, I was.
I'm going to get over to Bern's
get the place fixed up
before they cut her loose.
You've got to go
to school today, mags.
- No, I don't mind. Let me help.
- Mm-mm.
Don't let this craziness get in the
way of what you've gotta do. Alright?
Go on, get your stuff. I'll
give you a ride on the way in.
How is she?
She's gettin' there.
When is she comin' back home?
Soon enough.
I heard she killed
one of them, Sam.
Is that true?
Yeah.
Who was it?
Was, uh, just some kid.
And the other one just got away?
He's still out there?
Yeah, but he's cut up bad.
Police know what to look for.
They're gonna
search the hospitals.
He ain't gonna get far.
It's gonna be okay.
Are you okay?
Yeah. I am.
Things like this, mags,
you've just..
Just gotta let 'em pass
through, wait it out.
Now get your stuff.
I'll get the car.
Hey, pal.
Hey, Sam.
Seen your light on.
Was wondering if
you were up this early.
Oh, yeah, it's early, huh.
Leavin' us, huh?
Yeah, goin' home.
- Goin' back south?
- Yeah.
Well, it's, it's been
nice havin' you.
I'll just, uh, go ahead and get
the rest of your stuff for you.
Oh, no, no, I'm alright.
I don't need help.
You're bleedin'.
- Yep.
- Yeah.
I got into a little
accident yesterday
a little car accident,
but I'm okay.
You had an accident, huh?
Yep.
What're you doin'?
Sam..
- Hey, Sam..
- Piece of shit.
Sam!
Sam!
Hey, get back in the room!
- Get back!
- Sam!
Put that gun down.
I'm leavin', Sam. Okay?
You just..
You put it down.
That thing still shoot?
Put the gun down, I'm not
gonna say it again
I will shoot you dead.
That's it.
I'm out of your hair, okay?
I'm gonna call this square,
Sam, between me and you.
You just..
But I've got to go.
Just walk away from the car, alright?
Just walk away from...
You know, I didn't mean to shoot that man.
- Sam, let him go.
Hey, you go back in the
office! Go back now!
You should listen
to her. Okay?
I'm not lettin' you leave.
You just walk away from the car.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
