Saving Grace s01e05 Episode Script
Would You Want Me to Tell You?
[ Thunder Rumbling .]
- [ Thunder Continues .]
- [ Gun Clicking .]
- Aw, shit! - You're down, scumbag.
It's a leg woundI [ Thunderclap .]
Doesn't stop me from doing this, missy.
Jesus, Ham.
You're a terrible shot.
- [ Gun Clicking .]
- Hey, man.
Stay north of the farm.
I got you, mister.
You are down.
Aah! - [ Chattering .]
- [ Country Rock On Jukebox .]
It's gonna start raining soon.
Hear a big storm's coming.
- How you doing? - Mmm.
I'm thinking it's a straight tequila night.
That one.
I'm psychic.
Hey, you're good.
Yeah, well, maybe not so good.
Otherwise I wouldn't be worried about the next few days.
What's happening the next few days? -Just family stuff.
- That bad? Oh, no.
It- It'll be fine.
I get to see my favorite niece.
I'm proud of her, like she's my own daughter.
- [ Rock .]
- [ Chuckling .]
- Ahh.
- [ Both Chuckling .]
Double shot of Ham, please.
There's nothing to do There's nothing to say - [ Chuckling .]
- She's driving me mad She's driving me away today [ Knocking .]
- But she wants me to stay - [ Wheezing Laugh .]
[ Woman .]
Gracie? Only one person calls me that.
Because she likes it that way - [ Laughs .]
Hey! - God! - Come in.
- [ Laughing .]
Thought you were gonna be here tomorrow.
Come in! Come on.
I was gonna pick you up at the airport.
My mom know you're here? - You got company.
- [ Laughing .]
I could stay- I could stay at the hotel.
No, no, no.
He knows all about Aunt Cathy the woman who taught me how to smoke when I was 1 2.
I didn't teach you.
You already knew how to smoke.
[ Laughs .]
I just showed you how to blow smoke rings.
I knew there was a reason I came here early.
You got yourself a new man, don't you, Gracie? A true partner? Huh? Huh? He's a man, a true partner.
Ahh.
But he's not my man.
He's my friend.
Well, I'm telling you this guy is gonna be in your life forever.
His name starts with an ''E.
'' Ethan.
Ed.
Earl.
[ Acoustic Guitar.]
[ Man .]
So pretty and, oh, so bold Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road - She said, ''I don't even think that God can save me'' - Save me Am I gaining ground Am I losing face Have I lost and found my saving grace Thankful for the gift my angels gave me [ Phone Ringing .]
- Yeah? - Yeah.
And a good morning to you.
- What's goin' on? - Ah, your favorite cowboy's got him some trouble.
- Alvin Green? - Yeah.
His statue got stolen.
- So? - So we're getting the case.
Who gives a shit about a stolen statue? How's that a major crime? Perry wants to see us at 1 1 :00.
Think you can make that? - You forgot your underwear.
- [ Chuckles .]
All right.
[ Phone Beeps .]
Christ.
Now, that's a whole nother question.
Not in the mood, Earl.
So, Cathy- She's your mom's sister? Yeah.
- They get along? - No.
- Why not? - Why you wanna know about Cathy? Well, I got a feelin' a pop quiz is comin' up and Betty and Cathy well, it's a tough subject.
So what's the rub? They're just completely different.
I heard she was in town 'cause your dad's getting a fire station named after him.
Where'd you hear about that? God knows about my dad's thing? Made him real happy.
He likes your dad.
- They hang out a lot.
- My dad and God shootin' the shit.
[ Chuckles .]
- [ Whimpering .]
- God's got a real soft spot for firefighters.
- Anything else I need to know? - No.
Still seeing Ham? That's a yes.
I don't need your shit this morning, Earl.
Oh.
Still cussin'.
- I'm late for work.
- Still lyin'.
Don't you have to be in Cleveland or somethin'? Still a smartass.
I hope he's gradin' on a curve this week.
When I called your mom to R.
S.
V.
P.
she said she hadn't talked to you in over a month.
- It hasn't been a month.
- Well, she misses you.
I called her, like, two weeks ago when I saw Barry Switzer at Penn Square.
God, my head! - You comin' over tonight? - You bet your ass.
We gotta get Cathy to read our palms.
Remember? Right before first grade, she read our palms and said we were gonna end up working together.
As models in Paris.
She was right about me marrying a man whose first initial's ''R.
'' She nailed Ham on his favorite color and that thing he has about small birds.
Ham has a thing about small birds? - Like a phobia or something.
- [ Laughing .]
Man, we stayed up till 3:00 laughing our asses off.
Oh, hey.
Look what I found.
My old diary.
Oh.
Remember? I used to keep statistics.
God, I was a dork.
''ACP2- Aunt Cathy Prediction Percentage.
''March, 1 973.
ACP2: 68.
Percentage: 54%.
'' How come in my mind she was always right? Cathy got weird after Ham left.
Weird like what? She said this was her last trip home.
Meaning? I don't know.
She was wasted, and so was I but it was weird.
I'll see you tonight.
Oh, hey.
Henry's been moping around all morning.
Molly's in bad shape.
You've been warned.
I'm really sorry, man.
But 1 9 years.
You-You gave her such a good life.
It seems silly.
You know, she's a cat.
But she's your family.
I have a dog.
I can't even think about saying good-bye to him.
- You want to see a picture of her? - Yeah.
[ Clears Throat .]
I took this the day I found her.
She was in a shopping cart outside ofToot-N-Tote.
Filthy, starving.
That's after I gave her a bath.
I'm thinking it's- it's probably time if I can't get her to eat tonight.
Body out at Lake Hefner.
Perry gave it to Tommy and Ralph.
[ Clears Throat .]
Duty calls.
Let me know if you need any single thing, okay? So what's up with this Alvin Green thing? I don't know.
Perry's acting like her hair's on fire.
Right now I know two things.
This statue has vanished into thin air and I've got the governor calling the mayor calling the chief calling me.
Who is this guy? He's the biggest cattle rancher in the state, not to mention a big campaign donor.
- Which means what to us? - Nothing.
But a whole lot to do with the governor.
So unless someone murders Alvin Green himself finding his goddamn statue becomes our number one priority, understood? I think I know this artist.
He's got a couple of pieces out at the Cowboy Hall of Fame.
- [ Snorting .]
- [ Laughing .]
Robbery should have this.
Well, Green has requested you specifically.
You got some kind of history? Yeah.
He's an asshole! Statue means an awful lot to me, Detectives.
- A whole awful lot more than the million dollars it cost.
- Was it insured? Of course it was insured.
That's not the point.
The point is, that bull was my lucky bull.
You don't strike me as a superstitious type, Alvin.
Did you see the cattle futures market this morning? Down five percent.
You think that was just a coincidence? - Excuse me.
- [ Cows Lowing .]
His lucky bull.
The guy's nuts.
Nuts or not, he's richer than God.
Look at this place.
- Man, you gonna deck him again? - Want me to? - Yeah.
Show me your stuff.
- You can't handle my stuff, Dewey.
[ Beeping .]
How in hell do you move 20 tons of bronze without anyone noticing? Some heavy-duty equipment.
Melted down, that much copper's worth a hundred ''K'' easy.
[ Both .]
Scrapyards.
Patrol said there were people working in the stables till 1 :00, 2:00 in the morning.
Sure couldn't risk moving something that big in daylight.
Allowing for slop, plus the time it took to cut it loose.
- Gives us about a two-hour radius for scrapyards.
- Yeah, man.
McComb, I don't need any more bad news today, you understand? Now, you get me a count, an exact count, and I want this confirmed! Feisty.
I thought you liked feisty.
- If the guy touches me, I'm taking him out.
- All right.
- [ Grace.]
Problems? - My herd manager.
Apparently, coccidiosis has shown up in some of the calves.
That shit spreads into the herd- Goddamn it.
Let me make this clear, Detective Hanadarko.
I don't give a damn what you call it.
Superstition, coincidence, fate, bad luck- I don't care.
I want my bull back.
[ Clears Throat .]
You do that, I'll even consider our past misunderstanding- - Assault charge? - a wash.
- Plus the matter of the cow you stole- - Liberated.
I'd be inclined to forget I ever had that cow in my possession.
- [ Man Singing.
:Rock .]
- I haven't seen my sister Betty in about seven years.
I think the only reason she wants me to come down to this thing is so I have to watch her bask in the glow of widowhood.
- Ouch.
- I told you we didn't get along.
- You got along with Fred? - Hmm.
Yes and no.
Fred was intense.
That's what made him such a good fireman.
Well, this says he was a hero the day of the bombing.
A lot of heroes that day.
My niece was there, my nephew.
Fred was all over the place.
You know, he didn't sleep for six days, and everybody thought he was gonna collapse.
Yeah.
- Where were you? -Japan.
Oh.
Know anybody in the Murrah Building? A woman who worked for HUD.
[ Sighs .]
They got hit hard.
Lost 3 5 people.
She was one of them.
I hope you got something 'cause I got squat from the scrapyards.
- Where's Grace? - Family shit.
What do you got? The, uh, artist is a guy named Tendell Rusk.
Alvin commissioned him to do the statue back in '98.
Cast it in his foundry just north of town.
Trucked it down here on a flatbed- heavy-duty hydraulic truck crane, couple of slings, three or four guys,you know? Bob's your uncle.
Either someone's got access to that kind of equipment or they rented it.
I'm already checking the rental companies.
Maybe it was someone who knows what that thing means to him - and snatched it just to mess with the dickhead.
- Yeah.
Alvin Green keeps prize bull semen frozen in a high-security vault downtown.
Refrigeration's just crapped out, and he is screaming sabotage.
What he's got now is a whole lot of, uh, sticky mess to clean up.
Any volunteers? Benny? Sounds like a job you'd be comfortable with, cowboy.
Hey, man.
Heads.
Tails.
[ Laughs .]
- Start a love train, love train - Love train - Love train - The next stop that we make [ Singing Along To Recording .]
Will be England Tell all the folks in Russia And China too - Don't you know that it's time - [ Laughing .]
I want to hear about Earl.
- Have you met him? - [ Giggles .]
Not yet.
[ Laughing .]
Got nothing against the Hamster.
He's a great partner.
But outside of the job and the fun I just don't see a future for you guys.
Well, shit, I'm psychic, too, 'cause neither do I.
- What does Earl do? - He travels a lot.
Yeah.
How old is he? How tall is he? What's he like? He's an angel.
What's so damn funny? - Is he coming to the dedication? - You tell me.
- [ Gasps .]
Me first.
- Me first.
- Pick a number, one to 1 0.
- Three.
- Seven.
- [ Laughs .]
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
- Join in - Come on - Start a love train, ride the train - What? - Nothing.
- What? I'm seeing double.
I gotta get to bed.
Start a love train, love train Good night.
Great seeing you.
You're not gonna read my palm? Tomorrow.
I promise.
Good night.
Well, shit.
- What time's your breakfast? - 8:00! Tell your mom I said hi.
- Cathy and I can meet you early.
She can read your palm.
- Forget it.
- Please? I'd do it for you.
- NoI - No,you wouldn'tI - Okay, maybe not.
But how bad can it be? [ Kisses .]
You're on your own.
[ Grumbling .]
My Big-head Gus-head.
[ Beeping .]
Hey, Henry.
It's Grace.
I just wanted to see how Molly's doing.
Listen, I'm going to bed, but I'll see you tomorrow, okay? My little piggy.
My little piggy.
[ Grumbles .]
Her name's Willa Meigs.
She's a reporter.
I told her to give you a call.
Uh- Uh, uh, I'm in court all day.
It's about your father.
I think you can spare five minutes.
Mom, switch places with me.
Honey, you can stop being a cop for one meal.
[ Sighs .]
I had to get a new stylist.
Mario, who I've gone to for years, moved to Chicago.
But I like what this new girl did.
Yeah.
It really makes your eyes stand out.
I've been thinking about going a little shorter myself.
What do you think, Gracie? Mabel.
You know, Mom used to say that all the time.
I hated it.
''Mabel, Mabel, sweet and able get your elbows off the table.
'' - [ Cell Phone Ringing .]
- Oh.
Hanadarko.
Yeah? What's the address? H-H-Hang on a second.
The office.
Got a double homicide.
- Oh, my Lord.
- I gotta go.
I'm sorry.
Honey.
Be careful.
- Hey.
- Goddamn it, Ham.
Took you long enough.
Sorry.
- It's such a crazy morning, I almost forgot.
- What's happening? Just got back from your cowboy's bull semen vault.
It's not the way I want to start a day.
Shit, man.
That's nothing compared to my morning.
[ Groans .]
Is my whole day gonna revolve around rotted bull semen? The refrigeration unit got unplugged.
It could've been sabotage, or it could've just been a mistake no one's copping to.
And the vault's a regular Fort Knox.
Need a code to enter.
- No evidence of a break-in.
- So who's got the code? Alvin Green, his herd manager and the vault company.
We're checking them all.
Green's out of his mind.
Now he's convinced that his mojo's crapped out.
He may be right.
His company stock's tanking too.
GCAT, Green Cattle Company.
My broker called this morning.
Wanted me to dump some shares.
It may be personal, so we're gonna check out his ex-wife, business connections.
- The guy doesn't have any friends.
- Where's Grace? She's doing this thing for her dad.
I was just sitting down at my desk.
There was a boom.
The whole building shook.
We thought, gas explosion.
Then the calls started coming in.
We all went down there.
There's a, um-There's a photograph of you and your father that was published a lot.
Did he say anything to you in that moment? I- I- I- I didn't even know it was him.
[ Radio.
:Man .]
Sitting on top of the world [ Women .]
Go, baby, go, baby - Lady Luck,you are my girl - [ Siren Wailing .]
I need you to come my way Go, baby, go, baby Seemed like you saved my day - Hey, Leo.
- Hey, girl.
- I hear you had breakfast with Mom and Cathy.
- It was horrible.
- What happened? - Hey, girl.
- Hey, Eddie.
- Where you been? Hey, man.
Let me talk to my sister.
- What's she all pissed about? - Who? - Mom.
- I have no idea.
What'd she say? - She may not come to the dedication.
- Bullshit.
She said, ''Maybe everyone would rather go with Cathy.
Maybe I should just stay home.
'' - She's gonna be there.
- You need to tell Cathy not to come.
- I'm not gonna tell her that.
- It's just gonna upset Mom.
- Mom's the one who invited her.
- This is supposed to be about Dad, not Cathy's bullshit.
- What's your problem with Cathy? - You have no clue what happened this morning? Unless it was some disagreement about hair, no! Put me in prison.
Drill my teeth.
I swear! I'd take anything over one more minute with them.
- You're coming, right? - Yeah.
- Gonna stay for more than five minutes? - It'll be fine.
We'll get drunk, sit back, watch the show, Hanadarko.
Slow down.
When are you gonna tell me what you saw on my palm? - What? - Last night.
When you looked at my palm, your whole face went white.
Oh, I don't remember.
Remember telling me this was your last trip home? [ Sighs .]
Sorta.
What was that about? You okay? What is it? I'm dying, Gracie.
Probably got a couple of months, but it's okay.
It's given me a chance to clean up some of my mistakes.
I'm gonna tell your mama, and then I'm gonna head home.
I'm not gonna stay for the dedication.
- We want to help.
Let us help.
- Oh.
If you want to help, let me- [ Sighs .]
- I need to tell you somethin'.
- Okay.
I don't know how to say it except just say it.
I had an affair with your daddy.
The first time was a couple of weeks after the bombing.
We didn't get near each other after that for a whole year.
We just couldn't even look each other in the eyes, and we felt so ashamed.
Get out.
Get your shit and get out of my house.
[ Glass Breaking .]
[ Butch .]
You know, instead ofboth- - [ Ham .]
I don't know how- - Hartley Green, as in ex-Mrs.
Alvin Green as in a real nasty divorce that dragged on five years.
Papers signed eight months ago, not in her favor.
- She didn't even get the one piece of artwork she requested.
- Bull.
What is this, finger-painting class? You guys done any work on this? Yeah.
Tendell Rusk, the artist.
He's got a lawsuit pending against Green for using an image of the statue as his company logo.
- Been threatening to repossess it.
- Wow.
Gold star for you.
- You got anything? - Yeah.
I checked out McComb.
- Yeah.
Green's herd manager.
- Right.
He's been with him 1 0 years, 1 6 years.
You ever notice his bad leg? Yeah.
So? He was supervising the installation of the statue downtown.
Cable snapped, almost tore his foot off.
Well, I'd call it a three-way tie.
Hey, hey, hey! Are you okay? - Yeah.
- Where's your gun and your badge, man? Oh.
Shit.
You ever make anything with your own hands, Detective? I do some painting, yeah.
Well, then you know the money is immaterial.
A million-dollar commission has gotta be nice.
Doesn't matter.
My dispute with Green transcends base commerce.
This is about fundamental rights, Detective.
- Uh, can? - No.
By using an image of''the bull'' as his logo, Alvin Green stole my art.
- You want to be paid.
- No.
I want him to stop! Enough to steal the bull? Are you any good? - Excuse me? - As a painter, are you any good? - Not really.
- Too bad.
Really.
I never thought twice about it.
So Mr.
Green took care of you then? Of course he did.
Doctors, P.
T.
, you name it.
I owe him.
I understand you were quite a bull rider in the day.
In the day.
This has been a good job, good people.
I got nothin' to complain about.
Sure not enough to get involved with making scarce You're looking in the wrong place, pal.
- Can I help you with those? - I got it.
Thanks.
My husband ever divorces me, I'd be afraid I'd- I'd pull a Bobbitt on him.
- Well, yeah.
I felt like that for awhile.
- Not anymore? Oh, no.
No, it was the lawyers made us crazy.
- So why ask for the statue, Hartley? - Again, it was the lawyers.
- Alvin was getting set to give me a big chunk of money.
- Really? And then one of my lawyers gets the bright idea to go after his art.
- I should've known better.
- So you knew what it meant to him? Oh, my gosh.
Alvin used to kiss me and then go out and kiss Boomer.
- [ Laughing .]
- It's true! Alvin loved that bull.
Oh.
You know, there are moments, uh- a lot of moments, really, when I'm sure that I still love him.
[ Ringing .]
You need to get that? - Oh, no.
Sorry.
- [ Phone Beeps .]
Hartley says she still loves him.
Hand me the ketchup, will you? Enough to still own stock in Green Cattle Company.
I saw an alert on her P.
D.
A.
- GCAT's down in the aftermarket.
- Thanks, man.
My broker called again.
He wants me to dump everything I got.
- Hartley can't be happy unless she's short.
- What's that mean? Means she's betting the stocks are going down and not up.
Called selling short.
What about McComb? If he's the best herd manager in the business how did Green's cattle get infected with coc-cocsi-whatever? - No.
He has syringes in his kit, but that's part of his job.
- [ Watch Beeping .]
- Mm-hmm.
- Um, it's not like he tried to hide 'em.
The same with Rusk.
You know, the slings in his flatbed, he owns 'em.
- Uses 'em to haul in raw materials.
- Any pepper? I got it.
So McComb owes Alvin big time.
Rusk says it's nothing personal.
His ex-wife still loves him? - What's wrong with this picture? - Yeah, a whole lot of love for a dickhead.
I asked Green for everything on McComb's accident, so I'm waiting on the insurance report.
I'm gonna check the weigh stations along I-3 5 between the foundry and the ranch.
- All right.
- You think he'd steal the statue, but stop at a weigh station? That time of morning, truckers know state troopers are watching.
We gotta look into this short-selling thing.
- I'm so glad you called.
- You talk to my mom? - We're having lunch on Friday.
- No, you're not.
- You're going back to Amarillo.
- After I talk to Betty.
- And tell her what? - Everything.
You're going home, Cathy, and I'm telling Mom you got sick.
And in two months when I tell her you're dead, I'll throw in you loved her.
- Can we just talk? - You need to go home.
I'm sorry, Gracie.
Go to hell.
I know why you don't like Cathy.
[ Exhales .]
No, you don't.
She slept with Daddy.
I guess you do.
Cathy tell you? - Why didn't you tell me? - I- I wasn't sure.
Bullshit, Leo! You knew.
You worked with him every day! I worked with a ghost every day.
- He wasn't himself, Grace.
- How long did it last? - I don't know.
- Goddamn it, Leo! Tell me.
- You think he talked to me? - How long? He'd barely look at me.
I told you- - How long? - I told you I don't know.
What I think? I think he was banging her up until the day he died.
What Dad did was bad, but what Cathy did, forget it.
To her own sister? You think Mom knows? She's never said anything to me.
Oh, man.
- You okay? - Cathy's gone back to Amarillo.
No, she's not.
Mom's having lunch with her tomorrow.
- I told Cathy to cancel it.
- I talked to Mom 1 0 minutes ago.
- She won't show up.
She's too chickenshit.
- [ Chuckles .]
Cathy, it's Grace.
Call me.
- She wants to tell Mom.
- Oh.
That selfish bitch.
How can you do this? I- How can you sit down here and look at all this? I'm gettin' close to something, but I don't want to talk about it yet.
There's no way McVeigh was alone that day.
Can we go upstairs? Please? This is about the selling-short thing? Only way to be making money on GCAT right now.
We had to work through shells and aliases, but we got some good plays in the last month.
We got the ex-wife, herd manager and the artist.
- So who's cashing in on Green's missing mojo? - All three of them.
List of everything you got in the divorce.
Hmm.
First time I've ever seen bull semen.
[ Laughing .]
That was a bull my daddy gave me.
- You ever go in the vault? - Oh, sure.
Lots of times.
- You know the code to get in? - Yes, when we were married.
I'm sure he's changed it now.
Checked the weigh station on I-3 5 halfway between your foundry and Green's ranch.
Heading south at 1 :38 a.
m.
your driver weighed in at 7.
1 tons.
Heading north at 4:50 a.
m.
the truck weighed 27.
2 tons.
Ah.
Limestone from a quarry in Arkansas.
All I see around here is bronze.
- I hear you're the best in the business.
- Some would say.
How can the best let coccidiosis infect his cattle unless maybe he did it himself? I read the insurance reports on your accident.
Green says you were careless, so the insurance only covered your medical bills.
He didn't give you near the kind of money he should have.
Twenty years? [ Scoffs .]
That's a long time.
- How long you been married? - Five years.
What does your husband do? He's a truck driver.
He has this Saint Christopher medal.
Thinks it protects him on the road.
Personally, I have more faith in good tires.
But if I wanted to hurt him, if I wanted to freak him out I'd get rid of it right before he started a long haul.
Cell phone calls to Rusk and McComb.
The three of you talked a lot.
I hated that statue.
[ Chuckles .]
I hated that statue.
I hated how he prostituted my work.
How'd you hook up with Rusk? Hartley.
She said the only way to get to Alvin was through Boomer.
He had to be destroyed.
[ Chuckles .]
- Where's the bull? - Uh, gone.
- Gone? - Almost all gone.
[ Chuckles .]
Got your balls back.
Bad news is, that's all that's left.
Whoo! Girl! You done good! Mmm! She used to babysit us, let us eat whatever we wanted, then she'd leave.
One of us would throw up.
We'd all throw up.
My parents would have to clean up the mess.
She's doing the same thing now.
Wants us to clean up her shit.
- And you're surprised? - No.
- [ Lows .]
- Maybe.
I don't know.
Shit.
So my mom gets the shit kicked out of her because Cathy wants to clean up her mistakes.
You know, this is hysterical.
You defending Betty? It's another miracle.
Ronnie's dead.
I find out he had an affair with Hilley.
You want me to tell you? Never happen.
My sister and Ronnie- Would you want me to tell you? [ Cows Lowing .]
No.
I've left Cathy 20 messages to call me.
- About to put out an A.
P.
B.
on the bitch.
- No.
What? What? She's the same as she's always been, Grace.
Aunt Cathy.
I thinkJesus' beard is longer.
What do you think? No more life on the lam.
Oh, did you hear about Molly? Yeah.
Henry didn't want me to go to the vet's with him.
We're gonna have a drink later.
[ Rings .]
Maybe four or five times a year.
Last time was three days before he died.
When Travis graduated high school, you showed up, surprised everybody.
- Yeah.
- How? House was full of people.
You stayed about five minutes.
I think you got a call for a double homicide that night too.
Hmm? Well, Fred said he had to go to the store.
I slipped out.
It was easy.
You know.
I mean, for the first time, Fred said we had to end it.
And I knew it too.
Just took one of us saying it.
- Feel better? - Thank you for listening.
- [ Gasps .]
- Oh! Oh! - I hate you.
- I love you.
- My mother never finds out.
- I have to tell her.
[ Sobbing .]
No.
[ Buzzer Buzzing .]
- You're not telling her.
- This is what I saw on your palm.
- We're never seeing each other again! - Good! Mom.
- What are you doing here? - You're not coming? I'm interviewing a homicide witness, but yeah, I was coming over.
Where is Cathy? - She's not there? - Mm-mmm.
Maybe- I don't know.
She's- She's- She's sick.
She told me she was going to die in two months on a rainy Tuesday morning.
- What? - One of her premonitions.
She's convinced she's dying.
I told her we all were going to die.
Go back to the party, Mom.
I'll be there soon.
Your father deserves this.
He was a good man.
I know.
[ Phone Ringing .]
Hanadarko.
Hey.
How you doing? We are absolutely still on.
Okay.
[ Buzzing .]
[ Key Rattles In Lock .]
I had a pretty good run of luck on those in the last couple days.
May I? Knock yourself out.
That one.
Too bad.
- So what you in for? - I messed up.
[ Chuckling .]
Oh, if I had a nickel for every soul I've met could say the same.
Gotta have faith.
- [ Scoffs .]
Faith.
- And forgiveness.
[ Laughing .]
I'm supposed to be taking care of you tonight.
You did, and I want to thank you.
Uh- I want you to meet Gus.
Gus! - Gus man.
- Hey! - Hey.
- Hey.
[ Laughing .]
- Hey.
- Gus! - This is Henry.
- Hey, Gussy.
Remember I told you about Henry? - [ Laughing .]
- He lost his Molly today, and we are very sad.
Hey, Gus man.
- Thanks for the ride home.
- Oh, gee.
- [ Muttering, Laughing .]
- Mmm.
Oh, yes.
I could- I could still take you to the firehouse.
- Oh.
- Bet the party's still going on.
I'm too drunk to see Paige.
I'm too drunk to see any of'em.
- Paige? - Mmm.
- My little sister.
- Huh.
I'm especially too drunk to seeJohnny.
I have a brother who's a priest.
Can you believe that? I have a brother who's a priest.
Can you believe that? Don't you have, uh, four brothers? Yeah.
And a dead sister and Paige.
How you doing, Henry? Went to see my rabbi after I left Molly.
- Said a prayer with him.
- Feel better? No.
I don't want to go home without her there, you know? Then don't.
Don't go home.
- I'm sorry.
I- - Shh.
[ Man .]
This magic moment So different and so new Was like any other Until I met you And then it happened It took me by surprise I knew that you felt it too I could see it by the look in your eyes Sweeter than wine Softer than a summer's night Everything I want I have Whenever I hold you tight This magic moment While your lips are close to mine Will last forever Forever till the end of time So why won't you dance with me Hey, baby Why won't you dance with me This magic moment So different and so new Was like any other Until I met you And then it happened You know, it took me by surprise I knew that you felt it too Mm-hmm By the look in your eyes
- [ Thunder Continues .]
- [ Gun Clicking .]
- Aw, shit! - You're down, scumbag.
It's a leg woundI [ Thunderclap .]
Doesn't stop me from doing this, missy.
Jesus, Ham.
You're a terrible shot.
- [ Gun Clicking .]
- Hey, man.
Stay north of the farm.
I got you, mister.
You are down.
Aah! - [ Chattering .]
- [ Country Rock On Jukebox .]
It's gonna start raining soon.
Hear a big storm's coming.
- How you doing? - Mmm.
I'm thinking it's a straight tequila night.
That one.
I'm psychic.
Hey, you're good.
Yeah, well, maybe not so good.
Otherwise I wouldn't be worried about the next few days.
What's happening the next few days? -Just family stuff.
- That bad? Oh, no.
It- It'll be fine.
I get to see my favorite niece.
I'm proud of her, like she's my own daughter.
- [ Rock .]
- [ Chuckling .]
- Ahh.
- [ Both Chuckling .]
Double shot of Ham, please.
There's nothing to do There's nothing to say - [ Chuckling .]
- She's driving me mad She's driving me away today [ Knocking .]
- But she wants me to stay - [ Wheezing Laugh .]
[ Woman .]
Gracie? Only one person calls me that.
Because she likes it that way - [ Laughs .]
Hey! - God! - Come in.
- [ Laughing .]
Thought you were gonna be here tomorrow.
Come in! Come on.
I was gonna pick you up at the airport.
My mom know you're here? - You got company.
- [ Laughing .]
I could stay- I could stay at the hotel.
No, no, no.
He knows all about Aunt Cathy the woman who taught me how to smoke when I was 1 2.
I didn't teach you.
You already knew how to smoke.
[ Laughs .]
I just showed you how to blow smoke rings.
I knew there was a reason I came here early.
You got yourself a new man, don't you, Gracie? A true partner? Huh? Huh? He's a man, a true partner.
Ahh.
But he's not my man.
He's my friend.
Well, I'm telling you this guy is gonna be in your life forever.
His name starts with an ''E.
'' Ethan.
Ed.
Earl.
[ Acoustic Guitar.]
[ Man .]
So pretty and, oh, so bold Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road - She said, ''I don't even think that God can save me'' - Save me Am I gaining ground Am I losing face Have I lost and found my saving grace Thankful for the gift my angels gave me [ Phone Ringing .]
- Yeah? - Yeah.
And a good morning to you.
- What's goin' on? - Ah, your favorite cowboy's got him some trouble.
- Alvin Green? - Yeah.
His statue got stolen.
- So? - So we're getting the case.
Who gives a shit about a stolen statue? How's that a major crime? Perry wants to see us at 1 1 :00.
Think you can make that? - You forgot your underwear.
- [ Chuckles .]
All right.
[ Phone Beeps .]
Christ.
Now, that's a whole nother question.
Not in the mood, Earl.
So, Cathy- She's your mom's sister? Yeah.
- They get along? - No.
- Why not? - Why you wanna know about Cathy? Well, I got a feelin' a pop quiz is comin' up and Betty and Cathy well, it's a tough subject.
So what's the rub? They're just completely different.
I heard she was in town 'cause your dad's getting a fire station named after him.
Where'd you hear about that? God knows about my dad's thing? Made him real happy.
He likes your dad.
- They hang out a lot.
- My dad and God shootin' the shit.
[ Chuckles .]
- [ Whimpering .]
- God's got a real soft spot for firefighters.
- Anything else I need to know? - No.
Still seeing Ham? That's a yes.
I don't need your shit this morning, Earl.
Oh.
Still cussin'.
- I'm late for work.
- Still lyin'.
Don't you have to be in Cleveland or somethin'? Still a smartass.
I hope he's gradin' on a curve this week.
When I called your mom to R.
S.
V.
P.
she said she hadn't talked to you in over a month.
- It hasn't been a month.
- Well, she misses you.
I called her, like, two weeks ago when I saw Barry Switzer at Penn Square.
God, my head! - You comin' over tonight? - You bet your ass.
We gotta get Cathy to read our palms.
Remember? Right before first grade, she read our palms and said we were gonna end up working together.
As models in Paris.
She was right about me marrying a man whose first initial's ''R.
'' She nailed Ham on his favorite color and that thing he has about small birds.
Ham has a thing about small birds? - Like a phobia or something.
- [ Laughing .]
Man, we stayed up till 3:00 laughing our asses off.
Oh, hey.
Look what I found.
My old diary.
Oh.
Remember? I used to keep statistics.
God, I was a dork.
''ACP2- Aunt Cathy Prediction Percentage.
''March, 1 973.
ACP2: 68.
Percentage: 54%.
'' How come in my mind she was always right? Cathy got weird after Ham left.
Weird like what? She said this was her last trip home.
Meaning? I don't know.
She was wasted, and so was I but it was weird.
I'll see you tonight.
Oh, hey.
Henry's been moping around all morning.
Molly's in bad shape.
You've been warned.
I'm really sorry, man.
But 1 9 years.
You-You gave her such a good life.
It seems silly.
You know, she's a cat.
But she's your family.
I have a dog.
I can't even think about saying good-bye to him.
- You want to see a picture of her? - Yeah.
[ Clears Throat .]
I took this the day I found her.
She was in a shopping cart outside ofToot-N-Tote.
Filthy, starving.
That's after I gave her a bath.
I'm thinking it's- it's probably time if I can't get her to eat tonight.
Body out at Lake Hefner.
Perry gave it to Tommy and Ralph.
[ Clears Throat .]
Duty calls.
Let me know if you need any single thing, okay? So what's up with this Alvin Green thing? I don't know.
Perry's acting like her hair's on fire.
Right now I know two things.
This statue has vanished into thin air and I've got the governor calling the mayor calling the chief calling me.
Who is this guy? He's the biggest cattle rancher in the state, not to mention a big campaign donor.
- Which means what to us? - Nothing.
But a whole lot to do with the governor.
So unless someone murders Alvin Green himself finding his goddamn statue becomes our number one priority, understood? I think I know this artist.
He's got a couple of pieces out at the Cowboy Hall of Fame.
- [ Snorting .]
- [ Laughing .]
Robbery should have this.
Well, Green has requested you specifically.
You got some kind of history? Yeah.
He's an asshole! Statue means an awful lot to me, Detectives.
- A whole awful lot more than the million dollars it cost.
- Was it insured? Of course it was insured.
That's not the point.
The point is, that bull was my lucky bull.
You don't strike me as a superstitious type, Alvin.
Did you see the cattle futures market this morning? Down five percent.
You think that was just a coincidence? - Excuse me.
- [ Cows Lowing .]
His lucky bull.
The guy's nuts.
Nuts or not, he's richer than God.
Look at this place.
- Man, you gonna deck him again? - Want me to? - Yeah.
Show me your stuff.
- You can't handle my stuff, Dewey.
[ Beeping .]
How in hell do you move 20 tons of bronze without anyone noticing? Some heavy-duty equipment.
Melted down, that much copper's worth a hundred ''K'' easy.
[ Both .]
Scrapyards.
Patrol said there were people working in the stables till 1 :00, 2:00 in the morning.
Sure couldn't risk moving something that big in daylight.
Allowing for slop, plus the time it took to cut it loose.
- Gives us about a two-hour radius for scrapyards.
- Yeah, man.
McComb, I don't need any more bad news today, you understand? Now, you get me a count, an exact count, and I want this confirmed! Feisty.
I thought you liked feisty.
- If the guy touches me, I'm taking him out.
- All right.
- [ Grace.]
Problems? - My herd manager.
Apparently, coccidiosis has shown up in some of the calves.
That shit spreads into the herd- Goddamn it.
Let me make this clear, Detective Hanadarko.
I don't give a damn what you call it.
Superstition, coincidence, fate, bad luck- I don't care.
I want my bull back.
[ Clears Throat .]
You do that, I'll even consider our past misunderstanding- - Assault charge? - a wash.
- Plus the matter of the cow you stole- - Liberated.
I'd be inclined to forget I ever had that cow in my possession.
- [ Man Singing.
:Rock .]
- I haven't seen my sister Betty in about seven years.
I think the only reason she wants me to come down to this thing is so I have to watch her bask in the glow of widowhood.
- Ouch.
- I told you we didn't get along.
- You got along with Fred? - Hmm.
Yes and no.
Fred was intense.
That's what made him such a good fireman.
Well, this says he was a hero the day of the bombing.
A lot of heroes that day.
My niece was there, my nephew.
Fred was all over the place.
You know, he didn't sleep for six days, and everybody thought he was gonna collapse.
Yeah.
- Where were you? -Japan.
Oh.
Know anybody in the Murrah Building? A woman who worked for HUD.
[ Sighs .]
They got hit hard.
Lost 3 5 people.
She was one of them.
I hope you got something 'cause I got squat from the scrapyards.
- Where's Grace? - Family shit.
What do you got? The, uh, artist is a guy named Tendell Rusk.
Alvin commissioned him to do the statue back in '98.
Cast it in his foundry just north of town.
Trucked it down here on a flatbed- heavy-duty hydraulic truck crane, couple of slings, three or four guys,you know? Bob's your uncle.
Either someone's got access to that kind of equipment or they rented it.
I'm already checking the rental companies.
Maybe it was someone who knows what that thing means to him - and snatched it just to mess with the dickhead.
- Yeah.
Alvin Green keeps prize bull semen frozen in a high-security vault downtown.
Refrigeration's just crapped out, and he is screaming sabotage.
What he's got now is a whole lot of, uh, sticky mess to clean up.
Any volunteers? Benny? Sounds like a job you'd be comfortable with, cowboy.
Hey, man.
Heads.
Tails.
[ Laughs .]
- Start a love train, love train - Love train - Love train - The next stop that we make [ Singing Along To Recording .]
Will be England Tell all the folks in Russia And China too - Don't you know that it's time - [ Laughing .]
I want to hear about Earl.
- Have you met him? - [ Giggles .]
Not yet.
[ Laughing .]
Got nothing against the Hamster.
He's a great partner.
But outside of the job and the fun I just don't see a future for you guys.
Well, shit, I'm psychic, too, 'cause neither do I.
- What does Earl do? - He travels a lot.
Yeah.
How old is he? How tall is he? What's he like? He's an angel.
What's so damn funny? - Is he coming to the dedication? - You tell me.
- [ Gasps .]
Me first.
- Me first.
- Pick a number, one to 1 0.
- Three.
- Seven.
- [ Laughs .]
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
- Join in - Come on - Start a love train, ride the train - What? - Nothing.
- What? I'm seeing double.
I gotta get to bed.
Start a love train, love train Good night.
Great seeing you.
You're not gonna read my palm? Tomorrow.
I promise.
Good night.
Well, shit.
- What time's your breakfast? - 8:00! Tell your mom I said hi.
- Cathy and I can meet you early.
She can read your palm.
- Forget it.
- Please? I'd do it for you.
- NoI - No,you wouldn'tI - Okay, maybe not.
But how bad can it be? [ Kisses .]
You're on your own.
[ Grumbling .]
My Big-head Gus-head.
[ Beeping .]
Hey, Henry.
It's Grace.
I just wanted to see how Molly's doing.
Listen, I'm going to bed, but I'll see you tomorrow, okay? My little piggy.
My little piggy.
[ Grumbles .]
Her name's Willa Meigs.
She's a reporter.
I told her to give you a call.
Uh- Uh, uh, I'm in court all day.
It's about your father.
I think you can spare five minutes.
Mom, switch places with me.
Honey, you can stop being a cop for one meal.
[ Sighs .]
I had to get a new stylist.
Mario, who I've gone to for years, moved to Chicago.
But I like what this new girl did.
Yeah.
It really makes your eyes stand out.
I've been thinking about going a little shorter myself.
What do you think, Gracie? Mabel.
You know, Mom used to say that all the time.
I hated it.
''Mabel, Mabel, sweet and able get your elbows off the table.
'' - [ Cell Phone Ringing .]
- Oh.
Hanadarko.
Yeah? What's the address? H-H-Hang on a second.
The office.
Got a double homicide.
- Oh, my Lord.
- I gotta go.
I'm sorry.
Honey.
Be careful.
- Hey.
- Goddamn it, Ham.
Took you long enough.
Sorry.
- It's such a crazy morning, I almost forgot.
- What's happening? Just got back from your cowboy's bull semen vault.
It's not the way I want to start a day.
Shit, man.
That's nothing compared to my morning.
[ Groans .]
Is my whole day gonna revolve around rotted bull semen? The refrigeration unit got unplugged.
It could've been sabotage, or it could've just been a mistake no one's copping to.
And the vault's a regular Fort Knox.
Need a code to enter.
- No evidence of a break-in.
- So who's got the code? Alvin Green, his herd manager and the vault company.
We're checking them all.
Green's out of his mind.
Now he's convinced that his mojo's crapped out.
He may be right.
His company stock's tanking too.
GCAT, Green Cattle Company.
My broker called this morning.
Wanted me to dump some shares.
It may be personal, so we're gonna check out his ex-wife, business connections.
- The guy doesn't have any friends.
- Where's Grace? She's doing this thing for her dad.
I was just sitting down at my desk.
There was a boom.
The whole building shook.
We thought, gas explosion.
Then the calls started coming in.
We all went down there.
There's a, um-There's a photograph of you and your father that was published a lot.
Did he say anything to you in that moment? I- I- I- I didn't even know it was him.
[ Radio.
:Man .]
Sitting on top of the world [ Women .]
Go, baby, go, baby - Lady Luck,you are my girl - [ Siren Wailing .]
I need you to come my way Go, baby, go, baby Seemed like you saved my day - Hey, Leo.
- Hey, girl.
- I hear you had breakfast with Mom and Cathy.
- It was horrible.
- What happened? - Hey, girl.
- Hey, Eddie.
- Where you been? Hey, man.
Let me talk to my sister.
- What's she all pissed about? - Who? - Mom.
- I have no idea.
What'd she say? - She may not come to the dedication.
- Bullshit.
She said, ''Maybe everyone would rather go with Cathy.
Maybe I should just stay home.
'' - She's gonna be there.
- You need to tell Cathy not to come.
- I'm not gonna tell her that.
- It's just gonna upset Mom.
- Mom's the one who invited her.
- This is supposed to be about Dad, not Cathy's bullshit.
- What's your problem with Cathy? - You have no clue what happened this morning? Unless it was some disagreement about hair, no! Put me in prison.
Drill my teeth.
I swear! I'd take anything over one more minute with them.
- You're coming, right? - Yeah.
- Gonna stay for more than five minutes? - It'll be fine.
We'll get drunk, sit back, watch the show, Hanadarko.
Slow down.
When are you gonna tell me what you saw on my palm? - What? - Last night.
When you looked at my palm, your whole face went white.
Oh, I don't remember.
Remember telling me this was your last trip home? [ Sighs .]
Sorta.
What was that about? You okay? What is it? I'm dying, Gracie.
Probably got a couple of months, but it's okay.
It's given me a chance to clean up some of my mistakes.
I'm gonna tell your mama, and then I'm gonna head home.
I'm not gonna stay for the dedication.
- We want to help.
Let us help.
- Oh.
If you want to help, let me- [ Sighs .]
- I need to tell you somethin'.
- Okay.
I don't know how to say it except just say it.
I had an affair with your daddy.
The first time was a couple of weeks after the bombing.
We didn't get near each other after that for a whole year.
We just couldn't even look each other in the eyes, and we felt so ashamed.
Get out.
Get your shit and get out of my house.
[ Glass Breaking .]
[ Butch .]
You know, instead ofboth- - [ Ham .]
I don't know how- - Hartley Green, as in ex-Mrs.
Alvin Green as in a real nasty divorce that dragged on five years.
Papers signed eight months ago, not in her favor.
- She didn't even get the one piece of artwork she requested.
- Bull.
What is this, finger-painting class? You guys done any work on this? Yeah.
Tendell Rusk, the artist.
He's got a lawsuit pending against Green for using an image of the statue as his company logo.
- Been threatening to repossess it.
- Wow.
Gold star for you.
- You got anything? - Yeah.
I checked out McComb.
- Yeah.
Green's herd manager.
- Right.
He's been with him 1 0 years, 1 6 years.
You ever notice his bad leg? Yeah.
So? He was supervising the installation of the statue downtown.
Cable snapped, almost tore his foot off.
Well, I'd call it a three-way tie.
Hey, hey, hey! Are you okay? - Yeah.
- Where's your gun and your badge, man? Oh.
Shit.
You ever make anything with your own hands, Detective? I do some painting, yeah.
Well, then you know the money is immaterial.
A million-dollar commission has gotta be nice.
Doesn't matter.
My dispute with Green transcends base commerce.
This is about fundamental rights, Detective.
- Uh, can? - No.
By using an image of''the bull'' as his logo, Alvin Green stole my art.
- You want to be paid.
- No.
I want him to stop! Enough to steal the bull? Are you any good? - Excuse me? - As a painter, are you any good? - Not really.
- Too bad.
Really.
I never thought twice about it.
So Mr.
Green took care of you then? Of course he did.
Doctors, P.
T.
, you name it.
I owe him.
I understand you were quite a bull rider in the day.
In the day.
This has been a good job, good people.
I got nothin' to complain about.
Sure not enough to get involved with making scarce You're looking in the wrong place, pal.
- Can I help you with those? - I got it.
Thanks.
My husband ever divorces me, I'd be afraid I'd- I'd pull a Bobbitt on him.
- Well, yeah.
I felt like that for awhile.
- Not anymore? Oh, no.
No, it was the lawyers made us crazy.
- So why ask for the statue, Hartley? - Again, it was the lawyers.
- Alvin was getting set to give me a big chunk of money.
- Really? And then one of my lawyers gets the bright idea to go after his art.
- I should've known better.
- So you knew what it meant to him? Oh, my gosh.
Alvin used to kiss me and then go out and kiss Boomer.
- [ Laughing .]
- It's true! Alvin loved that bull.
Oh.
You know, there are moments, uh- a lot of moments, really, when I'm sure that I still love him.
[ Ringing .]
You need to get that? - Oh, no.
Sorry.
- [ Phone Beeps .]
Hartley says she still loves him.
Hand me the ketchup, will you? Enough to still own stock in Green Cattle Company.
I saw an alert on her P.
D.
A.
- GCAT's down in the aftermarket.
- Thanks, man.
My broker called again.
He wants me to dump everything I got.
- Hartley can't be happy unless she's short.
- What's that mean? Means she's betting the stocks are going down and not up.
Called selling short.
What about McComb? If he's the best herd manager in the business how did Green's cattle get infected with coc-cocsi-whatever? - No.
He has syringes in his kit, but that's part of his job.
- [ Watch Beeping .]
- Mm-hmm.
- Um, it's not like he tried to hide 'em.
The same with Rusk.
You know, the slings in his flatbed, he owns 'em.
- Uses 'em to haul in raw materials.
- Any pepper? I got it.
So McComb owes Alvin big time.
Rusk says it's nothing personal.
His ex-wife still loves him? - What's wrong with this picture? - Yeah, a whole lot of love for a dickhead.
I asked Green for everything on McComb's accident, so I'm waiting on the insurance report.
I'm gonna check the weigh stations along I-3 5 between the foundry and the ranch.
- All right.
- You think he'd steal the statue, but stop at a weigh station? That time of morning, truckers know state troopers are watching.
We gotta look into this short-selling thing.
- I'm so glad you called.
- You talk to my mom? - We're having lunch on Friday.
- No, you're not.
- You're going back to Amarillo.
- After I talk to Betty.
- And tell her what? - Everything.
You're going home, Cathy, and I'm telling Mom you got sick.
And in two months when I tell her you're dead, I'll throw in you loved her.
- Can we just talk? - You need to go home.
I'm sorry, Gracie.
Go to hell.
I know why you don't like Cathy.
[ Exhales .]
No, you don't.
She slept with Daddy.
I guess you do.
Cathy tell you? - Why didn't you tell me? - I- I wasn't sure.
Bullshit, Leo! You knew.
You worked with him every day! I worked with a ghost every day.
- He wasn't himself, Grace.
- How long did it last? - I don't know.
- Goddamn it, Leo! Tell me.
- You think he talked to me? - How long? He'd barely look at me.
I told you- - How long? - I told you I don't know.
What I think? I think he was banging her up until the day he died.
What Dad did was bad, but what Cathy did, forget it.
To her own sister? You think Mom knows? She's never said anything to me.
Oh, man.
- You okay? - Cathy's gone back to Amarillo.
No, she's not.
Mom's having lunch with her tomorrow.
- I told Cathy to cancel it.
- I talked to Mom 1 0 minutes ago.
- She won't show up.
She's too chickenshit.
- [ Chuckles .]
Cathy, it's Grace.
Call me.
- She wants to tell Mom.
- Oh.
That selfish bitch.
How can you do this? I- How can you sit down here and look at all this? I'm gettin' close to something, but I don't want to talk about it yet.
There's no way McVeigh was alone that day.
Can we go upstairs? Please? This is about the selling-short thing? Only way to be making money on GCAT right now.
We had to work through shells and aliases, but we got some good plays in the last month.
We got the ex-wife, herd manager and the artist.
- So who's cashing in on Green's missing mojo? - All three of them.
List of everything you got in the divorce.
Hmm.
First time I've ever seen bull semen.
[ Laughing .]
That was a bull my daddy gave me.
- You ever go in the vault? - Oh, sure.
Lots of times.
- You know the code to get in? - Yes, when we were married.
I'm sure he's changed it now.
Checked the weigh station on I-3 5 halfway between your foundry and Green's ranch.
Heading south at 1 :38 a.
m.
your driver weighed in at 7.
1 tons.
Heading north at 4:50 a.

the truck weighed 27.
2 tons.
Ah.
Limestone from a quarry in Arkansas.
All I see around here is bronze.
- I hear you're the best in the business.
- Some would say.
How can the best let coccidiosis infect his cattle unless maybe he did it himself? I read the insurance reports on your accident.
Green says you were careless, so the insurance only covered your medical bills.
He didn't give you near the kind of money he should have.
Twenty years? [ Scoffs .]
That's a long time.
- How long you been married? - Five years.
What does your husband do? He's a truck driver.
He has this Saint Christopher medal.
Thinks it protects him on the road.
Personally, I have more faith in good tires.
But if I wanted to hurt him, if I wanted to freak him out I'd get rid of it right before he started a long haul.
Cell phone calls to Rusk and McComb.
The three of you talked a lot.
I hated that statue.
[ Chuckles .]
I hated that statue.
I hated how he prostituted my work.
How'd you hook up with Rusk? Hartley.
She said the only way to get to Alvin was through Boomer.
He had to be destroyed.
[ Chuckles .]
- Where's the bull? - Uh, gone.
- Gone? - Almost all gone.
[ Chuckles .]
Got your balls back.
Bad news is, that's all that's left.
Whoo! Girl! You done good! Mmm! She used to babysit us, let us eat whatever we wanted, then she'd leave.
One of us would throw up.
We'd all throw up.
My parents would have to clean up the mess.
She's doing the same thing now.
Wants us to clean up her shit.
- And you're surprised? - No.
- [ Lows .]
- Maybe.
I don't know.
Shit.
So my mom gets the shit kicked out of her because Cathy wants to clean up her mistakes.
You know, this is hysterical.
You defending Betty? It's another miracle.
Ronnie's dead.
I find out he had an affair with Hilley.
You want me to tell you? Never happen.
My sister and Ronnie- Would you want me to tell you? [ Cows Lowing .]
No.
I've left Cathy 20 messages to call me.
- About to put out an A.
P.
B.
on the bitch.
- No.
What? What? She's the same as she's always been, Grace.
Aunt Cathy.
I thinkJesus' beard is longer.
What do you think? No more life on the lam.
Oh, did you hear about Molly? Yeah.
Henry didn't want me to go to the vet's with him.
We're gonna have a drink later.
[ Rings .]
Maybe four or five times a year.
Last time was three days before he died.
When Travis graduated high school, you showed up, surprised everybody.
- Yeah.
- How? House was full of people.
You stayed about five minutes.
I think you got a call for a double homicide that night too.
Hmm? Well, Fred said he had to go to the store.
I slipped out.
It was easy.
You know.
I mean, for the first time, Fred said we had to end it.
And I knew it too.
Just took one of us saying it.
- Feel better? - Thank you for listening.
- [ Gasps .]
- Oh! Oh! - I hate you.
- I love you.
- My mother never finds out.
- I have to tell her.
[ Sobbing .]
No.
[ Buzzer Buzzing .]
- You're not telling her.
- This is what I saw on your palm.
- We're never seeing each other again! - Good! Mom.
- What are you doing here? - You're not coming? I'm interviewing a homicide witness, but yeah, I was coming over.
Where is Cathy? - She's not there? - Mm-mmm.
Maybe- I don't know.
She's- She's- She's sick.
She told me she was going to die in two months on a rainy Tuesday morning.
- What? - One of her premonitions.
She's convinced she's dying.
I told her we all were going to die.
Go back to the party, Mom.
I'll be there soon.
Your father deserves this.
He was a good man.
I know.
[ Phone Ringing .]
Hanadarko.
Hey.
How you doing? We are absolutely still on.
Okay.
[ Buzzing .]
[ Key Rattles In Lock .]
I had a pretty good run of luck on those in the last couple days.
May I? Knock yourself out.
That one.
Too bad.
- So what you in for? - I messed up.
[ Chuckling .]
Oh, if I had a nickel for every soul I've met could say the same.
Gotta have faith.
- [ Scoffs .]
Faith.
- And forgiveness.
[ Laughing .]
I'm supposed to be taking care of you tonight.
You did, and I want to thank you.
Uh- I want you to meet Gus.
Gus! - Gus man.
- Hey! - Hey.
- Hey.
[ Laughing .]
- Hey.
- Gus! - This is Henry.
- Hey, Gussy.
Remember I told you about Henry? - [ Laughing .]
- He lost his Molly today, and we are very sad.
Hey, Gus man.
- Thanks for the ride home.
- Oh, gee.
- [ Muttering, Laughing .]
- Mmm.
Oh, yes.
I could- I could still take you to the firehouse.
- Oh.
- Bet the party's still going on.
I'm too drunk to see Paige.
I'm too drunk to see any of'em.
- Paige? - Mmm.
- My little sister.
- Huh.
I'm especially too drunk to seeJohnny.
I have a brother who's a priest.
Can you believe that? I have a brother who's a priest.
Can you believe that? Don't you have, uh, four brothers? Yeah.
And a dead sister and Paige.
How you doing, Henry? Went to see my rabbi after I left Molly.
- Said a prayer with him.
- Feel better? No.
I don't want to go home without her there, you know? Then don't.
Don't go home.
- I'm sorry.
I- - Shh.
