S03E06 Monsoon Mambo [MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING.]
Look at me, boy.
Cryin' ain't buyin' in this world.
All them cowboy books none of 'em ever cries, does they? Hmm.
Them boys that took your money, they was older than you, huh? Scared you.
You didn't like how that feel, did you? Feel like got ice in your spine, ants in your belly.
Feel like you wanna crawl instead of walk like a man.
[SLAPS.]
Now that hurt, didn't it? But only on the outside.
Life is full of things gonna hurt you on the inside.
Hurt you bad, real bad.
Hurt you so bad, make you wanna shrivel up and get small, disappear like you ain't you no more.
Them boys took more than your money.
They took what made you, you.
Somebody take something from you, you got two choices one you can live with, one you can't.
Man don't stand up for what's his, ain't no man.
Now you know what you gotta do, son.
Take it back.
[DEPARTING FOOTSTEPS.]

What happened to the squirrel? I shot him.
What'd he do? Snuck up on me.
Mm.
They'll do that to ya.
You got a minute? Oh.
Uh, yeah.
Sit down.
Not that one.
[HAP GROANS.]
[CHARLIE SIGHS.]
You talk to Leonard recently? Nope.
He's healin' up fast.
Good.
Think it's about time you went by to see him, though, don't you think? [LIGHTER CLICKS.]
Mm, yeah.
I will.
I know what happened in that alley was bad.
Sometimes under stress, fellas close to skin and bone can feel kind of, uh Kind of what? Kind of a postpartum-style depression.
Me and Leonard didn't have no babies.
All right, postpartum scary event syndrome, then.
I think you're just making shit up.
[SIGHS.]
Look Something bad happens to a couple fellas and they survive, they tend to blame each other.
Find ways not to be around one another 'cause when they are, it just brings 'em right back to where it all happened.
[VOICE BREAKS.]
I love Leonard.
He's my brother.
W-when I saw that knife at his balls, I [SNIFFLES.]
I was glad it was him and not me.
And he knew that.
He saw it in my eyes.
[SIGHS.]
Oh, hell.
I'm glad it was Leonard in that alley and not me.
It's just the way it is.
We we just human.
Them people in that alley, they they weren't human.
Yeah, they were.
We can be some mean monkeys.
You and Leonard met a couple of 'em, and they just took a chunk out ya ass and a piece of your heart.
[GRUNTS.]
You know, sometimes you gotta stare your shadows in the eye.
Or see if they got eyes.
You don't, they just gonna whoosh.
Flutter around you the rest of your life.
In the end, we all just end up like that squirrel out there.
Goodbye, Charlie.
[BUTTON CLICKS.]

[METALLIC GRINDING, WHIRRING.]
You hear from Cantuck? Crickets.
Shit.
- You know, uh - Don't say it, Charlie.
[DOOR CREAKING.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
Odds are they ain't gon' find her.
And even if they do it ain't gonna be the way you hopin'.
Either way, she's gone, partner.
I should've went there the first time she called.
Hell, I should've put my foot down, never let her go in the first place.
Instead, I send them two dumb dickwads.
Well, hell, them two dumb dickwads are in pretty bad shape.
- You know what I meant.
- Now them two dumb dickwads almost got themselves killed doing you a favor.
- Save it, Detective.
- Doin' your job you should've done yourself.
Shut up, Charlie.
You know, they ain't always got their shit together, them two.
Hell, they almost never got their shit together.
But by God, them boys you can count on.
But then they'd know that if you'd gone out to check on 'em.
I got my own conscious.
I don't need yours on top of it.
Horseshit.
Sorry, but I couldn't help overhear some of that.
Oh, that son of a bitch burns me up sometimes.
Well, that's because sometimes that son of a bitch is right.
What do you want, Peg? Phone call for you.
Line two.
FBI.
Lieutenant Hanson speaking.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING.]
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
Hey, you you goin' somewhere? I-I was comin' to see you.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
Charlie said you was, uh, holed up like Dean Martin in "Rio Bravo," so Yeah.
I hate it when Charlie's right.
Yeah, I do, too.
[RAIN FALLING.]
Well, um, so we good? Yeah, we good.
All right.
[SCREEN DOOR CREAKS, CLOSES.]
[FRONT DOOR CLOSES.]
Hey, uh, look I just want to thank you for putting my pecker back in my pants.
I know it wasn't easy for ya.
Well, no big thing, Leonard.
[STIFLES LAUGH.]
[CHUCKLES.]
[LAUGHS.]
Come here.
- LEONARD: All right, all right.
- HAP: All right, yeah.
You need to listen to this again.
Come on.
[BUTTON CLICKS.]
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
[CREAKING, THUD.]
[METALLIC GRINDING, WHIRRING.]
Yeah.
[BUTTON CLICKS.]
What'd that sound like to you? Some kind of big machine or somethin'.
Right.
Something like a wood chipper.
Exactly like a wood chipper.
Like the one they got out at Brown's Christmas tree farm? Oh.
Jesus.
We was right.
And that that is why we couldn't find her.
Son of a bitch.
You tell Hanson about this? No.
Not yet.
You know, I'm thinking we don't tell him.
Oh, those boys down at Grovetown, they think they're above the law.
They got good reason for thinking that, and his name is Truman Brown.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING.]
[VOICE BREAKS.]
Every time I hear that name, I just wanna crawl up under the bed.
Yeah.
Yeah, me, too.
[THUNDERCLAP.]
There was a time I used to think I was unbreakable.
[SCOFFS.]
Now I hear a sound, I tense up.
Hear the same sound, I shit my pants.
Just keep seeing that crowd comin' for me.
Tell you the truth, if they were to come back for me again I'd probably curl up like a little baby - and let 'em take me.
- No, you wouldn't.
You ain't got it in you.
I don't know about that, Hap.
I've been sleeping with a goddamn revolver under my pillow.
Does that sound like me? Shit.
Hell, I'm sleeping with a shotgun.
Yes, it it does sound like you.
[WHISPERS.]
I cry at night, Hap.
[VOICE BREAKS.]
I break down.
I keep having these nightmares.
It's it's like [EXHALES.]
[CRYING.]
I keep feeling them just beatin' and kickin' on me.
No.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
I know.
Me, too.
When I wake up, I'm still there.
Well, this ain't just about Florida no more.
This is about you and it's about me.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
And it's about Brown paying for what he is and what he'd done.
Shit.
[SIGHS HEAVILY.]
We gotta go back to Grovetown, don't we? Yeah.
We do.
I was hoping you'd say that.
This time, we go, we gotta go all the way.
Sun up or sun down.
Got any guns left besides that shotgun? No.
But I know who do.
LEON: You guys going out there to punch some Klan lights out? - LEONARD: That's the plan.
- Take your choice.
No charge.
Yeah.
Warms my heart just thinking about blowing some holes in them freaks.
You guys need some help? You know me and Clinton sure wouldn't mind - whupping some Klan ass.
- Damn sure don't.
It ain't your battle.
[CYLINDER CLICKS.]
Thanks.
[VEHICLE APPROACHES.]
[SIREN WHOOPS.]
HAP AND LEONARD: Put them guns away.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING.]
Hell, no.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Special Agent Glen, FBI.
Chief Cantuck is dead.
- What? - Somebody put a bullet through his head.
Jesus.
Now Chief Reynolds told me - that you two went down to Grovetown.
- Chief Reynolds? - LEONARD: That sure happened fast, huh? - Mm-hmm.
GLEN: Said you showed up in Grovetown, you assaulted some of the townfolk, you had a disagreement with the Chief, and then you left.
Bullshit.
We were the ones who were assaulted.
I got 12 witnesses who say different.
From what I hear, you got your head up the Klan's ass, Chief.
Hey, hey, hey.
No smoking in my house, Charlie.
You're right.
Sorry.
Now I was there.
I can vouch for these two.
Who will vouch for you? You were out of your jurisdiction without the professional courtesy to tell us you were there.
Well, Sneed and Bacon, they were there.
- They know what happened.
- That's why we're here, dumbass.
They're suspects in Cantuck's murder and they're missing.
And I'm thinking you two tell me where they are.
No, we can't.
Not a clue.
Sneed used to live in Laborde.
He's got history with all four of these guys.
Trust me, we don't miss him.
REYNOLDS: You haven't seen him, have you? How 'bout you, Lieutenant Hanson? This is my jurisdiction now.
And I don't like your implication.
The murder of a police officer is a federal case, so your jurisdiction just became his.
I suggest we hold these two as material witnesses.
No, hold on.
No one's getting arrested right now, Chief.
Agent Glen, if I may? Who brought the Feds in on this? Call came from the Governor himself.
He wanted me to follow up on a tip he got from a Grovetown resident, one whose opinion he values highly.
Oh.
[SIGHS.]
Wouldn't happen to be Truman Brown, would it? Brown's one of the men they assaulted.
So why don't you go on back to Grovetown, wash out your Klan robe? Hmm.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING.]
Not in my house.
GLEN: Here's what's gonna happen next.
Collins and Pine, you're gonna stay right here.
We'll call it house arrest for now as material witnesses.
You two, you better get your ducks in a row 'cause I'm-a start digging.
This hole gets deep enough, you might end up in it.
As for now, I suggest everybody gets a good night sleep and calls their lawyers.
I-I would if I could, but I can't, so [CLICKS TONGUE.]
Chief Reynolds, you come with me.
Y'all have a Happy New Year now.
[FRONT DOOR CREAKS, CLOSES.]
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
That woman oughta rattle before she bites.
She make me glad I'm gay.
Mm.
[THUNDER RUMBLING.]
[INSECTS CHIRPING.]
Lord, as I give my spirit over to you, the power of love and a sound mind.
Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
Goodness and mercy.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.]
[GASPS.]
Hello? Is somebody there? [POUNDING.]
If you're out there, please help me! Help! Somebody out there? Hello? Hi! Oh! Can you help me, please? Can you help me? I'm locked in here.
Hey.
Hey, girl, I-I know you.
I've seen you before.
Can can you find something to to pry the trunk open with? Can you help me? I-I-I think there's a crowbar or something around here somewhere.
Wait! Wait, where you goin'?! Wait, get me out of here, please! Please, I gotta find somebody to help! Please, get me out! Please! [POUNDING.]

Moses got nothing on us.
[WATER DRIPPING.]
Flash flood warnings are in effect for the entire region, and we just got word that they're pumping out the Old Mill Dam to keep it from overflowing unlike my radio station, which seems like a wading pool.
[FORCED LAUGH.]
Yeah, kids, stay home, no school, no buses, make some hot chocolate, and drive your parents crazy.
The Governor has declared a state of emergency and issued a voluntary evacuation for all low-lying areas.
I, Sonny Knox, will keep you informed as the storm progresses.
In the meantime, break out the rowboats, life jackets, and settle down for this classic riff.
This one's coming to ya from Brown's Christmas tree farm, where everybody's chipper.
We could've picked a better time to do this.
Next time we plan a war, remind me to check the weather first.
Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry about all the mess.
Well, things get be fixed.
People can't.
We lookin' for Truman Brown.
What for? Son of a bitch Brown runs this town now.
Got that ice queen Reynolds in his pocket.
[SCOFFS.]
This what America's supposed to be? I don't wanna live here no more.
You know where he is? He's still in town.
Anybody with half a brain be gone by now, but he was by here with his boys this morning.
Why? What y'all plannin'? Finish what we started.
You're gonna be outgunned.
Cut a snake off by the head, the body ain't worth shit no more, right? Well, I guess you boys owe him some.
'Bout time somebody had the balls to stand up to that son of a bitch.
You heard from Bacon? No.
But I heard that Brown and Reynolds are lookin' for him.
They look hard enough, they gon' find him.
That was Slim Harpo Right.
With "Raining in My Heart," coming at you from 96.

Good thinking, Leonard.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING.]
[FROG RIBBITS.]
[RIBBITS.]
Maybe Truman Brown don't listen to the blues.
Maybe he like to listen to that old gospel music.
Mm.
Then again, maybe not, huh? Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
We can always go home and roast some marshmallows.
- Ohh.
- Watch some TV.
We can call Charlie over to give us a puppet show.
Yeah.
That's starting to sound like a good idea.

Look at me, boy.
Cryin' ain't buyin' in this world.
All them cowboy books none of 'em ever cries, does they? Hmm.
Them boys that took your money, they was older than you, huh? Scared you.
You didn't like how that feel, did you? Feel like got ice in your spine, ants in your belly.
Feel like you wanna crawl instead of walk like a man.
[SLAPS.]
Now that hurt, didn't it? But only on the outside.
Life is full of things gonna hurt you on the inside.
Hurt you bad, real bad.
Hurt you so bad, make you wanna shrivel up and get small, disappear like you ain't you no more.
Them boys took more than your money.
They took what made you, you.
Somebody take something from you, you got two choices one you can live with, one you can't.
Man don't stand up for what's his, ain't no man.
Now you know what you gotta do, son.
Take it back.
[DEPARTING FOOTSTEPS.]
You one sorry ass sight.
You know what you need to do, son? You gotta take it back.

[HAP GROANS.]
[CHARLIE SIGHS.]
You talk to Leonard recently? Nope.
He's healin' up fast.
Good.
Think it's about time you went by to see him, though, don't you think? [LIGHTER CLICKS.]
Mm, yeah.
I will.
I know what happened in that alley was bad.
Sometimes under stress, fellas close to skin and bone can feel kind of, uh Kind of what? Kind of a postpartum-style depression.
Me and Leonard didn't have no babies.
All right, postpartum scary event syndrome, then.
I think you're just making shit up.
[SIGHS.]
Look Something bad happens to a couple fellas and they survive, they tend to blame each other.
Find ways not to be around one another 'cause when they are, it just brings 'em right back to where it all happened.
[VOICE BREAKS.]
I love Leonard.
He's my brother.
W-when I saw that knife at his balls, I [SNIFFLES.]
I was glad it was him and not me.
And he knew that.
He saw it in my eyes.
[SIGHS.]
Oh, hell.
I'm glad it was Leonard in that alley and not me.
It's just the way it is.
We we just human.
Them people in that alley, they they weren't human.

We can be some mean monkeys.
You and Leonard met a couple of 'em, and they just took a chunk out ya ass and a piece of your heart.
[GRUNTS.]
You know, sometimes you gotta stare your shadows in the eye.
Or see if they got eyes.
You don't, they just gonna whoosh.

[DOOR CREAKING.]

Odds are they ain't gon' find her.
And even if they do it ain't gonna be the way you hopin'.
Either way, she's gone, partner.
I should've went there the first time she called.
Hell, I should've put my foot down, never let her go in the first place.
Instead, I send them two dumb dickwads.
Well, hell, them two dumb dickwads are in pretty bad shape.
- You know what I meant.
- Now them two dumb dickwads almost got themselves killed doing you a favor.
- Save it, Detective.
- Doin' your job you should've done yourself.
Shut up, Charlie.
You know, they ain't always got their shit together, them two.
Hell, they almost never got their shit together.
But by God, them boys you can count on.
But then they'd know that if you'd gone out to check on 'em.
I got my own conscious.
I don't need yours on top of it.
Horseshit.
Sorry, but I couldn't help overhear some of that.
Oh, that son of a bitch burns me up sometimes.
Well, that's because sometimes that son of a bitch is right.
What do you want, Peg? Phone call for you.
Line two.
FBI.
Lieutenant Hanson speaking.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING.]
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
Hey, you you goin' somewhere? I-I was comin' to see you.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
Charlie said you was, uh, holed up like Dean Martin in "Rio Bravo," so Yeah.
I hate it when Charlie's right.
Yeah, I do, too.
[RAIN FALLING.]

[METALLIC GRINDING, WHIRRING.]
Yeah.
[BUTTON CLICKS.]
What'd that sound like to you? Some kind of big machine or somethin'.
Right.
Something like a wood chipper.
Exactly like a wood chipper.
Like the one they got out at Brown's Christmas tree farm? Oh.
Jesus.
We was right.
And that that is why we couldn't find her.
Son of a bitch.
You tell Hanson about this? No.
Not yet.
You know, I'm thinking we don't tell him.
Oh, those boys down at Grovetown, they think they're above the law.
They got good reason for thinking that, and his name is Truman Brown.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING.]
[VOICE BREAKS.]
Every time I hear that name, I just wanna crawl up under the bed.
Yeah.
Yeah, me, too.
[THUNDERCLAP.]
There was a time I used to think I was unbreakable.
[SCOFFS.]
Now I hear a sound, I tense up.
Hear the same sound, I shit my pants.
Just keep seeing that crowd comin' for me.
Tell you the truth, if they were to come back for me again I'd probably curl up like a little baby - and let 'em take me.
- No, you wouldn't.
You ain't got it in you.
I don't know about that, Hap.
I've been sleeping with a goddamn revolver under my pillow.
Does that sound like me? Shit.
Hell, I'm sleeping with a shotgun.
Yes, it it does sound like you.
[WHISPERS.]
I cry at night, Hap.
[VOICE BREAKS.]
I break down.
I keep having these nightmares.
It's it's like [EXHALES.]

I keep feeling them just beatin' and kickin' on me.
No.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
I know.
Me, too.
When I wake up, I'm still there.
Well, this ain't just about Florida no more.
This is about you and it's about me.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
And it's about Brown paying for what he is and what he'd done.
Shit.
[SIGHS HEAVILY.]
We gotta go back to Grovetown, don't we? Yeah.
We do.
I was hoping you'd say that.
This time, we go, we gotta go all the way.
Sun up or sun down.
Got any guns left besides that shotgun? No.
But I know who do.
LEON: You guys going out there to punch some Klan lights out? - LEONARD: That's the plan.
- Take your choice.
No charge.
Yeah.
Warms my heart just thinking about blowing some holes in them freaks.
You guys need some help? You know me and Clinton sure wouldn't mind - whupping some Klan ass.
- Damn sure don't.
It ain't your battle.
[CYLINDER CLICKS.]
Thanks.

[SIREN WHOOPS.]
HAP AND LEONARD: Put them guns away.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING.]
Hell, no.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Special Agent Glen, FBI.
Chief Cantuck is dead.
- What? - Somebody put a bullet through his head.
Jesus.
Now Chief Reynolds told me - that you two went down to Grovetown.
- Chief Reynolds? - LEONARD: That sure happened fast, huh? - Mm-hmm.
GLEN: Said you showed up in Grovetown, you assaulted some of the townfolk, you had a disagreement with the Chief, and then you left.
Bullshit.
We were the ones who were assaulted.
I got 12 witnesses who say different.
From what I hear, you got your head up the Klan's ass, Chief.
Hey, hey, hey.
No smoking in my house, Charlie.
You're right.
Sorry.
Now I was there.
I can vouch for these two.
Who will vouch for you? You were out of your jurisdiction without the professional courtesy to tell us you were there.
Well, Sneed and Bacon, they were there.
- They know what happened.
- That's why we're here, dumbass.
They're suspects in Cantuck's murder and they're missing.
And I'm thinking you two tell me where they are.
No, we can't.
Not a clue.
Sneed used to live in Laborde.
He's got history with all four of these guys.
Trust me, we don't miss him.
REYNOLDS: You haven't seen him, have you? How 'bout you, Lieutenant Hanson? This is my jurisdiction now.
And I don't like your implication.
The murder of a police officer is a federal case, so your jurisdiction just became his.
I suggest we hold these two as material witnesses.
No, hold on.
No one's getting arrested right now, Chief.
Agent Glen, if I may? Who brought the Feds in on this? Call came from the Governor himself.
He wanted me to follow up on a tip he got from a Grovetown resident, one whose opinion he values highly.
Oh.
[SIGHS.]
Wouldn't happen to be Truman Brown, would it? Brown's one of the men they assaulted.
So why don't you go on back to Grovetown, wash out your Klan robe? Hmm.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING.]
Not in my house.
GLEN: Here's what's gonna happen next.
Collins and Pine, you're gonna stay right here.
We'll call it house arrest for now as material witnesses.
You two, you better get your ducks in a row 'cause I'm-a start digging.
This hole gets deep enough, you might end up in it.
As for now, I suggest everybody gets a good night sleep and calls their lawyers.
I-I would if I could, but I can't, so [CLICKS TONGUE.]
Chief Reynolds, you come with me.
Y'all have a Happy New Year now.

Anybody with half a brain be gone by now, but he was by here with his boys this morning.
Why? What y'all plannin'? Finish what we started.
You're gonna be outgunned.
Cut a snake off by the head, the body ain't worth shit no more, right? Well, I guess you boys owe him some.
'Bout time somebody had the balls to stand up to that son of a bitch.

Maybe Truman Brown don't listen to the blues.
Maybe he like to listen to that old gospel music.

Then again, maybe not, huh? Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
We can always go home and roast some marshmallows.

We can call Charlie over to give us a puppet show.
