- [Customer] You're
out of towels in there.
- Sorry. I'm just closing up.
Comes to 18 bucks.
I'll need a driver's
license with this.
- Hey. LA, huh?
- [Customer] Yeah.
- I used to live in LA.
- No kidding? What'd
you do out there?
- Rock and roll.
Me and buddy drove out there
in an old pickup truck.
Got a shitty little
apartment in Hollywood,
tried to get a band going.
I didn't last long though.
You can only party so long
before it starts to
catch up with you.
You just gotta know
when to bail.
[rock and roll music]
It won't okay this on
your credit card.
- See if it'll take this.

[horns honking]
[fast paced music continues]
[tires squealing]
- Sorry, Mr. Lynch. It
killed on me.
You okay?
- Oh, yes. I'm fine. I'm fine.
- [Farmer] You almost
met your match that time.
- What you mean by that?
- Well, that was Kyle Lockwood.
Shoot, wait till the
sheriff hears he's back.
He hates his guts.
- The prodigal son has returned,
huh?
This aught to be real
interesting.
[contemplative music]
[horn honking]
- I told you it was him.
What the hell are you doing
here? I thought you were in LA.
- I'm just driving through.
- Don't tell me.
You suddenly got this
irresistible urge to see me.
And now you want to go to
the motel and make wild,
passionate love to me all night,
right?
- Is it that obvious?
[horn honking]
- Go around, asshole!
- [Parker] Move that
piece of shit!
[horn honking]
- [Wendy] Up your, Parker!
- [Parker] Move it along, Wendy!
- I can't believe you're back.
Come on down to see me tonight.
I'm waiting tables at the
old Riverside.
See you later, heart breaker.
[calm music]
- [Carl] You didn't do
shit to that car.
- The hell I didn't.
I spent two hours trying to
tune up that piece of shit.
But it's like I told you before,
you gotta get those valves
fixed before I can tune it up.
Just give me
goddamned keys back.
- The money.
- I don't let nobody
screw me around it.
- [Billy] Get your hands of me.
- [Kyle] Excuse me.
- Get lost.
- Now, that's sort of
the problem.
I am lost. Right, Billy?
- Yeah, he's lost all right.
- Look, dickhead. This
is none of your business.
This a-hole is trying
to screw me.
- You wouldn't do that,
would you Billy?
- Nah, I only screw my friends.
- Here. Take it, you
grease ball, whine-o.
Now, where's my keys?
- In the ignition of course.
- You guys just went to
the top on my shit list.
[engine cranks]
[tires squealing]
- Another satisfied customer.
- Damn, it's good to
see you again.
[laughing]
Hey, it's.
It's tea time.
So how long you been in town?
- About 20 minutes.
- Seen anybody?
- Yeah, I ran into Wendy.
Surprised she's still here.
- I'm surprised
anybody's still here.
- Julie still around?
- That's not why you
came back is it?
- No.
- She got married
about a year ago.
- Anyone I know?
- This guy, Lynch, Gene Lynch.
He came here, holy shit,
about five years ago.
He bought up a lot of land.
He practically owns the bank.
- And the bankers daughter.
- Yeah. Thinks he's hot shit.
Guess everybody else in
town agrees with him.
He drives around like he
owns the county.
- In a red 240 SX?
- Yeah.
- We met, on the highway
coming into town,
had a little cha cha cha.
- You ran him down?
- Sure hope he got his
car out of the ditch okay.
- Damn. I would've given
anything to seen that.
[laughing]
So how long has it been
since you've seen Aaron?
- [Kyle] Not since
Dad's funeral.
[calm music]
[grunting]
[laughing]
- Kyle?
I don't believe it.
Oh hey, we saw you on TV,
racing about.
When was that, about
two years ago?
- More like five.
- Oh really?
Well, I guess we have a
lot of catching up to do.
Oh shit.
Hope you guys are hungry,
because there's plenty of food.
- Smells great. Can we
give you hand?
- Sure. Why don't you mash
those potatoes?
- Anyone else want a brew?
- I thought you were
cutting back.
- Oh, it's just a beer,
Sis. come on. Don't worry.
One Rocket Billy Bone
special coming up.
- I can't remember the last
time I mashed potatoes.
- [Sally] Hey, if you're good at
there's plenty of
opportunities around here.
- Tractor belt busted again.
We have to get a new one.
- Well, I just got one.
I'm sure it's in my-
- Don't worry about it,
Sally. Just order a new one.
What brings you back?
- Just visiting.
- Well, you could have called.
- Thought I'd surprise you.
- Yeah, well you are
good at that.
How's the garage?
Still in business?
- Yeah, if you can
call it business.
- Yeah.
I'm gonna go wash up.
Excuse me.
[tense music]
[crickets chirping]
- So, what's on the
agenda for tonight?
- The usual.
Good booze and wild women.
- You with a wild woman?
Been taking bee pollen again?
- Hey, that was just
my experimental period.
- I thought we might stop by,
and see Terry on the
way into town.
- Terry split.
- You're kidding. Terry?
Where would he go?
- He didn't say.
- He just disappeared.
- Yeah, it was really
out of nowhere.
Everybody knew he was
having a hard time of it.
He got into a heavy loan
with the bank,
and they were really
coming down hard on him.
Just to disappear like that.
I guess he must've felt ashamed.
- Any more potatoes?
- Sure. I'll be right back.
[crickets chirping]
[phone ringing]
- That's for me.
- Can I get anyone
anything else?
- No thanks, Sal.
- I've got to go out for a bit.
I'll see you later.
[sighs]
- I'm sorry.
I just can't stand to see
him like this anymore.
It's driving me nuts. I just
wish he'd tell me what's wrong.
- There's probably a
lot of pressure on him,
to try and run the farm.
- We've always had that.
This last year, it's been
something else.
I don't know.
It's like there's something
eating at him inside,
and he won't tell me what it is.
I feel like I've been
frozen out of his life.
- Maybe I can talk to him.
- Would you?
- I can try.
- Thanks.
I'm gonna go wash my face.
[tense music]
- I think I need a beer.
[country bar music]
- I need to Mich Drys,
scotch and soda, Jose Cuervo.
- Christie, have you seen Wendy?
- She was here a minute
ago. She was out dancing.
[country bar music continues]
- That son of a bitch.
- Better keep you eye on
that one, Carl.
[music fades]
- Thanks.
- The pleasure's all mine.
- That's probably true.
I guess I better get
back to work.
- Yeah, I better go find
Billy before he empties a keg.
- Stick around. You
might get lucky.
- Okay okay okay, I'm a
little drunk.
But, don't tell me your
valve covers don't need
a little tightening up.
- We gotta go.
- Hey, no you don't.
No you don't.
- [Girl] Sorry, Billy.
- Calls for a toast.
[grunting]
- That Bud's a little
strong for you, huh Billy?
- The only thing that's
strong around here
is your breath, mother fucker.
- Yo Ted, I think our
buddy Billy here is drunk.
- He's running his mouth.
- Fuck off.
[punch lands]
[grunts]
- Ted, I'm gonna take
Billy outside now.
[Billy gagging]
[punches landing]
[Billy gagging]
You're not so mouthy now,
are you Billy?
Maybe you'd like to apologize.
- Eat shit and die.
[kicks landing]
[gun cocks]
[gun fires]
- Get away from him.
- What are you doing?
Put it down.
- Get away from him!
- Hey man, don't get
weird. It was a fair fight.
- Back off!
Come on.
[Billy coughing]
You all right?
- Yeah, I'm just great.
- Want me to kill him?
- You crazy.
- Am I talking to you?
- Why not? He's just a
worthless piece of shit.
- You can't do this.
You just kidding, right?
- Sorry.
- Hey, don't. Please.
Don't shoot.
- I'd feel bad about this.
You got any kids?
- No.
- All right.
- Hey, wait! Don't!
[gravel crunching]
[sirens blaring]
[police radio chattering]
- Yeah, I think he was just in
a hurry to change his shorts.
- Carl's one of those people
that I have no sympathy for.
Guy's a sociopath,
plain and simple.
Why Lynch hired him
is beyond me.
Anyway, what's the story, Kyle?
I thought you were out in
the coast, racing cars.
- Guess I just needed
to take a break.
- Think you'd be helping
Aaron with the farm,
or what, just to visit?
- Haven't really given
it much thought.
- I hope we get a chance
to have a beer
before you hit the road again.
It's been a while.
- What's he doing here?
- Carl McCormick
caused a little ruckus
with Billy down at the bar.
- I heard shots were fired.
- They were beating the
crap out of me.
- It was no big deal.
- Let me make this clear
from the beginning, Kyle.
Don't try me.
You do whatever business you
have here in town and get out.
Did you write him up?
- Well, no. I didn't think
there'd be any need to do that.
- Discharging a
firearm in the city
is a violation of the code.
Write him up.
- Yes, sir.
I don't think Don's too
happy to see you again.
- Guess he didn't mellow
much with age, did he?
- The way he treats you,
you'd think you were
the only one who ever raced
around town in a hot car.
I'm beat. Can we get
out of here?
- Sure. I'm on my way out too.
[phone ringing]
- Hey Gordy,
I've been meaning to talk
to you about something.
What'd did you guys find out
about Terry Thomas's
disappearance?
- Nothing. He just left.
He wasn't first, and he
won't be the last.
It's not so unusual around
her these days, Kyle.
It's not the same as
it used to be.
Come on, let's get going.
- This has gotta be some
kind of a record.
Quarter mile without
spilling a drop.
Thought you might want
to take a break.
- No, thanks.
- Need a hand?
- No.
So you gonna be around a
while or what?
- If I'm not in the way.
Suit yourself.
You've got as much right here
as I do. It's half yours.
- What do you say we go down
and get a couple of beers
after you're finished?
- Hard to say when
that would be.
- Well, I'll help you.
- I don't want your help, Kyle.
- Look, Aaron.
I know we've had some pretty
major differences in the past,
but can we talk this thing out?
Something's bugging you,
that's obvious.
Why won't you tell me?
- My life is none of
your business.
You want to hang around here
killing time, that's up to you.
But you leave me alone.
Why don't you run along and
play with your damn car?
[tense music]
[dramatic music]
[gun cocks]
- What the hell are
you doing here?
- I'm a friend of Terry's.
I was just looking for him.
- Who are you?
- Kyle Lockwood. I just
live down the road aways.
Terry is my friend.
- Well, he isn't here anymore.
- I kind of suspected that
from the shape of this place.
Guys mind putting the guns down?
- I think you better haul
ass out of here
before I call the sheriff.
You're trespassing.
- Know where I can find Terry?
- [Thug] No.
- Okay. You guys
have a nice day.
[tense music]
- [Guest] Nice place
you have here.
- [Gene] It's a roof.
- You'll have to come out
for a Cubbies game sometime.
- I would like that very much.
- Okay, Gene. We'll
give you a shot.
I'll call you later
to set it up.
Keep us happy and you
won't be sorry.
- I have never been sorry.
- I'll be in touch.
[suspenseful music]
- It's all right, gentlemen.
Everything is cool.
[upbeat music]
- [Kyle] A little early,
isn't it?
- Hair of the dog.
You gonna eat?

- [Kyle] What do you think?
- They're very stylish, Kyle.
- You don't recognize them?
- No, should I?
- Found them at the
barn at Terry's.
- What were you
doing over there?
- Got a little curious.
Doesn't strike you as strange
that Terry would suddenly
up and leave his home
without a word to anyone?
- Nothing strikes me as
strange anymore.
This whole state is going
down the tubes.
- Hey, Rita. Can we
have a couple?
Thanks.
- I don't believe you.
You're so out of it that
you don't realize it
when one of your
friends disappears?
- What do you mean by that?
- Nothing. Just drop it.
- You mean, am I so plastered?
You got a lot of nerve Kyle.
You don't know what's
been going down here.
You're the one that's out
of it, 10 years out of it.
You really don't think I
noticed when Terry took off?
He split owing me five
fucking grand.
As far as my alcohol intake,
it's nobody's business
but my own, okay.

- Excuse me.
Could you tell me who I'd see
to find out about a
transfer of property rights?
- One of the loan officers
could help you right over there.
- Yes, Mrs. Cutler.
But you are two months
behind on your payments.
Why don't you see if you can't
cut something out of
your budget?
[knocking on door]
You don't want to
lose your house.
Yes, I know you will.
Goodbye.
- How's everyone at home?
- You know farmers.
It they don't have
something to complain about,
they'll make something up.
He's kept the place going,
which is more than I
could have done.
- More than you wanted to do.
I'm sorry.
- That's okay.
It's no secret I didn't want
to run the farm when I was 20.
- I guess the real secret
is what you did want.
Did you ever find it?
- Look, Julie.
I didn't come here to
get another one of your,
you started it arguments.
- I haven't started-
- I came here to find out
who foreclosed
on Terry Thomas's property.
Can you punch a few numbers
on your computer there
and find out?
I'm sure he had a loan
with the bank.
- Yes, he did.
Sort of.
- Did the bank foreclose or not?
- No.
- Terry came to us for a
loan, and he was turned down.
So he went to a third party.
When Terry left, he forfeited,
and the third party took
a lien out on the property
and paid off the outstanding
balance to the bank.
- Who is this
mysterious third party?
- My husband.
- Gene Lynch owns Terry's farm.
- Yes he does. Why?
- That's what I'd like to know.
- What is all this about Kyle?
- Hello, Kyle. What
brings you back to town?
- Hello, Mr. Parker.
- You seem to be having
quite a discussion.
Anything I can do to help out?
- Kyle was just asking about
the Thomas property that
Gene bought, Dad.
- Really?
Well, I'm sure you were
concerned about
your friend's disappearance,
as we all were.
It was an awkward
situation for all of us.
I just hope that Terry
is doing well,
and will come back
to us someday.
There's nothing shameful
about failing at
farming these days.
That's what I tried to
tell these farmers.
- Well, I want to keep you
from your jobs any longer.
- If you have any more
questions, Kyle,
feel free to stop by.
- I just may do that.
Nice chatting with you.
- Get lost.
- Feeling a little threatened?
[contemplative music]
[tense music]
- I don't think he's
expecting you, Mr. Lockwood.
What's it about?
- Business.
- It's all right, Carl.
Mr. Lockwood is more
than welcome here.
Go ahead and send him back.
[tense music]
[door slams]
Kyle. Good to see you.
Business, huh? Well, come
on back. We can talk here.
I hope you've come to see
me about a little rematch.
I fear my sense of caution
got the better of me
the other day.
- I understand that you're
now own Terry Thomas's farm.
- That's right, yes.
If you're interested, I
could probably
swing a loan for you
down at the bank.
I kind of have it in down
there, if you know what I mean.
- I was more interested in
the arrangement you
had with Terry.
- Oh, that's simple.
Terry had his up against
the wall. He needed money.
I offered to loan him
$50,000 against the farm.
Next thing you know, he
up and split.
I guess he just couldn't
handle the pressure.
- What pressure?
- Being in red ink up to here.
That can get to you
after awhile.
Poor sucker didn't know
whether he was coming or going.
- Why did you loan
Terry the money?
- Well, it's not because
I'm your good neighbor Sam.
We both know that.
Look, Kyle. I'm a businessman.
Making money as all I know.
When I see something
I can get on the cheap
and sell it a fat profit,
I'm interested.
I didn't know how Terry
could work things out,
things being the way they were.
I figured I could get
some more land cheap.
- Did Terry tell you
he was leaving?
No, I heard it from one
of the girls at work.
Can't say that I was
surprised though.
He always had the feel of
a quitter to me.
- Well, I won't take up
any more of your time.
I just wanted to get a
little more information.
- You looking for Terry?
- Yeah. You might say that.
- Owe you money?
- No.
You see, I know Terry
was no quitter.
His great grandfather
settled here in 1887.
He would've eaten beans
in the chicken coop
before he gave away that farm.
It would have taken more than
reading to chase him away.
- Well, you never can tell.
I've seen junkies in Chicago
sell their wedding
rings to get a fix.
- Yeah, well. We'll see.
- Hey, if you're ever
interested in exercising
that dinosaur yours
again, give me a shout.
I'll give you a quarter
mile headstart.
[country bar music]
- What's the great tragedy?
- Nothing, I was just thinking.
- Yeah, I gave it up. Gives
you wrinkles, you know?
- [Waiter] What can I
get for you?
- And for that pearl of wisdom,
you can buy me a drink, buddy.
Gin and tonic water.
- I'll have a shot of
Cuervo and another draw.
- So how's Billy doing?
- Just fine.
I think he was too drunk
to feel anything.
- Sorry about the whole thing.
- I guess Carl was just mad
at me for dancing with you,
and he took it out on Billy.
- Sure know how to pick them,
Wendy.
- In case you haven't noticed,
there's not a whole hell
of a lot to pick from.
Anyway, Carl's definitely
off my Christmas card list.
- Not that. Not the
Christmas card list?
- Yeah, I like to
make him suffer.
- You are cruel.
- And unforgiving.
[country bar music continues]
- What should we drink to?
- To about closing time.
[crickets chirping]
[Gene chuckles]
- Something wrong?
You look like you're
lost in space.
- Sorry.
I'm just thinking about
some things at work.
- Well, maybe I can help
you get your mind off it.
- Oh God, you spilled the wine.
- Forgot about it.
- I have to get it right
away, or it'll stain.
[crickets continue chirping]
Gene.
What are you doing?
- I said, forget it.
- It'll ruin it.
- I like things ruined.
- Good night.
- To love, honor, and obey.
For richer, for poorer,
till death do us part.
As long as you both shall live,
say it.
- What?
- Do you, Julie, take this man
to be your lawfully
wedded husband?
Say it, pumpkin.
- I do.
- You may now kiss the bride.
[crickets continue chirping]
- [Weather Man] That's
gonna give us lows
in the 15 degree mark tonight.
Bundle up.
[door opens and closes]
- You're putting in a long day.
- Guess I'll call it a night.
- No.
Sit down. Have a drink
with your little brother.
To mom and dad.
May they rest in peace.
I still remember the
night you left.
I woke up
in the middle of the night,
heard all this
screaming going on.
It was you and him going
at it in the kitchen.
I thought, one of them is
gonna kill the other for sure.
I put a pillow over my head
waiting for a shot or a scream.
But all I heard was the
back door slam,
and your car start, and the
gravel kick up as you tore off.
He stayed up till dawn
waiting for you to come back.
But you never did.
Mom went around crying
for a whole week.
But old Avery pretended
nothing happened.
He did his work.
He read the paper. He listened
to the stock reports at noon.
Never said a word about you.
Don't know if he was
mad at himself or you.
But you know he was never
the same after that.
But you were smart, Kyle.
You got the hell out of here.
You're free.
- Maybe my life is not as
wonderful as you think.
There is a price for everything.
- Oh tell me about it,
big brother.
Let's hear some of your
road weary philosophy
about your rough life in
the fast lane.
What do you know about paying
the price? You skipped.
I paid it for you.
I'm the one who had to work
his butt off 16 hours a day,
trying to keep this
godforsaken place together.
All you ever did was
just run around your car,
acting like you were
some big fucking deal.
Spare me the bullshit.
- I can't do anything to
change the past, Aaron.
But I'm here now, and
I'm willing to help you.
- You're not here to help me.
Christ. That is a good one.
Kyle.
You couldn't care less about me.
You're here 'cause
you're scared.
You're scared you're not
gonna make it out there.
You want some place to hide.
Well, it's not gonna be here.
This is my place.
I built it.
I sweated over it, and nobody's
gonna take it away from me.
- I'm not trying to
take it away.
[somber music]
- Nobody.
[contemplative music]
He stayed up till dawn
waiting for you to come back.
But you never did.
Mom went around crying
for a whole week.
But old Avery pretended
nothing happened.
- [Julie] Kyle, it's Julie.
Listen.
I think that we should talk.
Meet me at the old school
house in the morning.
[country bar music]
[voices overlapping]
- What's this?
- Nick bought a round
of drinks for the house.
- What'd he do, win the lotto?
- He sold all that river
land he was trying to unload.
- What dumb sucker bought that?
- Gene Lynch.
[upbeat music]
- Place sure brings
back the memories.
- It does.
I just wanted to say
I'm sorry about
the way I acted in the
bank yesterday.
I think seeing you just stirred
up a lot of old memories.
- Good or bad?
- Both.
- Yeah. They seem to go together
a lot, I've noticed lately.
- Why did you come back?
- It was sort of impulsive.
I was driving West in Kansas,
stopped at 3:00 AM to
get gas and,
suddenly got the urge
to come home.
- Did you think that
I'd be here?
- I pictured you here.
- Really?
How did you picture me?
About 10 years younger,
I suppose.
- Actually you were much older,
with long gray hair.
You were at your parents',
in the parlor playing
that big piano.
Almost the music I remember
more than the image.
[humming]
What's wrong?
[suspenseful music]
- [Julie] I guess I
don't understand
why Terry would just leave town.
It sounds awful doesn't it?
[suspenseful music continues]
[birds singing]
- You're just gonna
go back to him?
- I don't know.
I don't know what to do anymore.
I just need some time to think.
- Meet me later.
No pressure, I promise.
- When.
- Six. At the theater.
- Okay, but just for a bit.
- When did he leave?
Just tell him to call
me if you hear from him.
It's important.
No, I'm not drunk. Goodbye.
Kyle!
- What's the matter?
- You're not gonna believe this.
If you don't believe me, you
can just go look for yourself.
Gene Lynch has got a
lien on your farm.
He must have loaned
Aaron the money,
just like he did Terry,
everybody else.
Kyle, the guy owns all
the land along the river.
- It's all hills, rocks,
gullies.
It's useless for farming.
Why would he want that?
- I don't know.
- Want to find out?
- Why not?
[contemplative music]
See anything?
- Just weeds and trees.
- Maybe he just likes
to live next to a river.
- Let's go down and get
a closer look.
[suspenseful music]
- Man, we've covered six or
eight miles and got zilch.
I'm beat. Let's just
call it a day.
- Did you hear that?
- What?
[shushing]
- Listen.
- That sounds like a pump.
- Let's go.
[suspenseful music continues]
Someone's irrigating something.
Let's have a look.
[suspenseful music continues]
- Oh shit, it's marijuana,
acres of it.
- I bet this isn't his
only little spot.
That's why the river property.
Plenty of water, and impossible
to spot from the air.
- He's a drug dealer. Can
you beat that?
No wonder all the easy money.
He's laundering the cash.
You think Aaron's
involved with any of this?
- I don't know.
- And I'd love to see Lynch
get what's coming to him,
but not if it means
burning Aaron too.
- Why would he do
something stupid like this?
- He's broke. He's scared.
He's desperate.
Same reason as a lot
of other guys.
- Yeah. You're right.
Come on let's get out of here.
[phone ringing]
Yeah?
What?
Well, how the hell did
they find it?
Damn. Damn it.
All right look, look. This
is damage control time.
You get a crew out there,
and you strip every plot
that we haven't picked yet.
I'll get somebody to take
care of these fuckers.
[tractor engine rumbling]
- What do you want? I'm working.
- I need to talk to you now.
- What?
- I want to know what's
going on around here.
- I don't know about you,
but I'm trying to
harvest my damn crop.
- Does that include the pot
growing down by the river?
- What have you done?
- Billy found out at the
courthouse that Lynch has been
buying up all the property
up and down the river.
So we checked it out.
And we found a marijuana
patch growing on our property.
- Stupid son of a bitch. He
has video cameras down there.
He knows you were there.
He'll...
[suspenseful music]
Sally.
[dramatic music]
[gun fires]
- Sally!
- I think I shot him.
[crying]
- It's okay, baby. It's okay.
Sally and I have decided to
tell the sheriff everything
and take whatever comes.
- It can't be too bad if
you weren't selling it.
- There's something else
you don't know about.
I saw Terry and Michelle
killed by Lynch's men.
It's been eaten at me
for a year now.
But I was afraid to tell anybody
for fear of what might
happen to Sally.
I'm really sorry for the way
I've been treating everybody.
- Don't worry about it.
We're behind you all the way.
- Thanks.
- How's Sally doing?
- Okay.
She's still a bit shook up.
She's packing to go over
to Aunt Addies.
Well.
I guess I got to make
a phone call.
[somber music]
[police radio chattering]
- I left a message for the
sheriff with his missus.
He should be here real soon.
Should we get started with this?
- I think it's that one, Gordy.
- Let's get to it.
- All right.
[suspenseful music]
- This'll set the
county on it's end.
Gene Lynch involved in
drugs and murder, the story.
[suspenseful music continues]
He's dead all right.
- We've got company.
- Jesus, it's Lynch.
- Better radio for some help.
- I think I can handle
you dumb assholes myself.
You blew a good thing, Aaron.
You should have stayed cool.
[suspenseful music]
[gun fires]
[dramatic music]
- Come on, Kyle!
[dramatic music]
[gun fires]
[suspenseful music]
[guns firing]
[suspenseful music continues]
Kyle, I killed Gordy.
- Hush.
[suspenseful music]
Come on.
[birds singing]
- [Aaron] Hands up, asshole.
Don't move.
[rock and roll music]
- [Carl] That idiot.
What the hell is he
doing down here?
[guns firing]
- [Aaron] Oh shit.
They're coming, Kyle.
[rock and roll music continues]
[guns firing]
Son of a bitch.
[guns continue firing]
If you get ahead of
them, I can get a shot.
Now. Now Kyle.
[guns continue firing]
[rock and roll music continues]
- Now. Let's fucking go!
[rock and roll music continues]
- [Aaron] I'm out of shells.
[rock and roll music continues]
- [Kyle] Hang on.
[rock and roll music continues]
[car exploding]
- Go.
Go.
- [Announcer] 17 left
in the half.
Byron Bennett's gonna
have to have the ball,
held by Johanne Lewis
to kick if off,
because the wind keep
blowing if off the tee.
But the Oscars have
overcome a 45 to 14 lead.
And I agree entirely with
you here, Gary.
The whole package
it's on the line
with, I think, the most
talented team.
Here's the kick.
- Billy?
- [Announcer] And it is
Oliver, about seven yards.
Then we'll come out to
the 20 yard line.
- Yeah, I'm just finishing up.
You need help with something?
- No, it's personal.
- [Announcer] In the previous
portion of the broadcast.
The problem with Lassiter
was clearly not a problem
with lack ability, as a
lack of expertise.
- I hate to ask you.
But I don't know who else
I could go to.
We were supposed to meet
at the theater at six.
I just can't do it.
- [Announcer] And he's
filled with hope.
It's Missouri's first and
10 a the 20 yard line.
A minute, 17 to go in the half.
- Thanks.
I'm sure that you
don't understand.
- You gotta do what
you gotta do.
- [Reporter] This is a
KOTD news alert.
Cass County Deputy Sheriff,
Gordon Myles, has
been found dead.
Authorities believe the
local deputy was slain
during an arrest attempt,
and are seeking
Aaron and Kyle Lockwood in
connection with the crime.
Contact the local
sheriff's office
if you have any information
regarding these suspects.
- Oh my God.
- What time did you say
you were gonna meet him?
- At six.
[suspenseful music]
[engine revving]
- Billy, wait!
I'm coming with you.
- Hurry up.
[suspenseful music continues]
- Jesus, Kyle. This is crazy.
She's Lynch's wife. She probably
told him where to find us.
Get rid of her.
- Hi. Remember me?
- I'm busy.
- What's the matter. Did I
interrupt some sibling rivalry?
- I can't talk to you right now.
- Look, if you're mad at me,
why don't you just say so?
- I'm not mad at you.
- Wendy, get the hell
out of here now.
- Up yours, Aaron. Who
the hell do you think you-
- Just go.
- Here they come.
[suspenseful music]
- Damn.
- Come on.
- Stop!
[dramatic music]
[suspenseful music]
- How many left?
- Who's gun is that?
- Three.
- Why the hell did you
have to follow us?
- I don't know, 'cause
you were running.
[shushing]
[suspenseful music]
- What's going on, Kyle?
- It's a long story.
- Can you give me the
"Cliff Notes"?
- Gene Lynch had Terry killed.
Aaron saw it.
We showed Gordon the
body, and it turns out
he's in with Gene, and
Carl, and all the rest.
Aaron grabbed the gun,
and it went off.
- Kyle.
- Was he hurt?
- Yeah, he's dead.
- It was self defense. They
were trying to kill us.
[grunting]
[footsteps approaching]
[guns firing]
[suspenseful music]
[body thumps]
[suspenseful music continues]
There's the roof.
Go.
- Wait a minute. Where's Kyle?
- I don't know. He was
right behind us.
Let's go.
- Hold it. You ain't
going nowhere.
[gun firing]
[somber music]
- Get out.
Kyle, come on.
- [Kyle] Billy, wait.
[suspenseful music continues]
[gun fires]
[tires squealing]
- What's going on?
- Aaron's been hit. We've got
to get him to the hospital.
- No, not here.
- You'll bleed to death.
- We've got to get
him out of town.
- Where are we going?
- I don't know, just drive.
- It's just gonna be cops
along the road.
- We can go to my
uncle's. He's out of town.
- Okay, go.
[tires squealing]
- We've got the main highways
all covered by deputies.
But I want the back road
blocked off too.
Those guys know that
country too well.
Now along the river, I've got
four possible intersections.
- I think we can cover
those for you, Don.
That's sort of our turf.
- Okay, Carl.
That's along river road north
of town, here, here, and here.
The rest of you will come with
me, and we'll start a sweep.
Stay on channel 23, and
no talking. Questions?
Fine. Let's get on with it.
- That's about all we
can do right now.
How's it feel?
- Like a vice grip.
- I got the truck all rigged up.
I think it'll work.
- All right, let's go.
- Kyle?
- Take it easy, Aaron.
[crickets chirping]
[calm music]
- You gonna be all right?
- Are you?
I love you, Kyle.
- I love you too.
Come on, give me a hand,
all right.
Watch his arm, feet first.
Watch it, watch it, watch it.
Okay get the bale.
Cover your eyes. Hang tight,
there.
- Okay, I'm gonna go to Blair.
Take me about a half hour.
- [Kyle] Thanks, Billy.
- [Billy] Watch your ass.
Hey, Julie?
- That's for me, I take it?
- Yeah.
- I didn't even have the
guts to give it to you,
let alone tell you.
It seems silly now.
- [Kyle] Do you trust me, Julie?
- [Julie] Yes, I do.
- I can't explain
everything right now but,
I need your records
down at the bank.
- Which ones?
- Your husband's currency
transaction files.
- My father oversaw
them personally.
- I still need them.
- All right.
- Thanks.
Wendy can give you a
ride back to town.
I'm sorry.
- So am I.
[somber music]
[crickets chirping]
- There's a coffee
machine down the hall.
This could take awhile.
- Once a waitress,
always a waitress.
- [Julie] Dear Kyle, they
say you should be careful
what you wish for
because it may come true.
I think I understand that now.
Since you left, I've
had an emptiness in me
that I thought only
you could fill.
No matter how hard I
tried to forget,
it was always you who
came to me in my dream.
And through all the years
I've clung to the thought
that you would come back
and we'd be together.
But that can never be.
Time has parted us, and my
little girl dreams have to die
so that I can find out
who I really am.
Please try to understand,
love Julie.
[calm music]
- You know, one of the first
signs of marital difficulties
is spending too much time
at the office?
[suspenseful music]
Oh, what have we here?
Don't you want to share
your work problems with me?
- Dad?
- I had no choice.
It was either take his money
or let the bank go under.
It would have destroyed
the whole community.
- According to these files, Sam,
you accepted some rather
large deposits
from me that you didn't report.
That's against federal
regulations, you know?
It almost looks like you've
been laundering money.
- You bastard.
This is the end.
I don't care what happens
to me or the bank.
I'm turning you over.
- You really don't care, Sam?
Well, I don't really
care either.
Hey.
We don't care, right?
Live or die. What
difference does it make?
Good. Let's go.
[suspenseful music]
[phone ringing]
- [Wendy] Kyle. Kyle, it's me.
- Where are you?
What's going on?
- I'm at the bank. I
get locked in.
- [Kyle] Where's Julie?
- She left with Gene and
her dad. He's got a gun.
[grunting]
What should I do?
Kyle?
Kyle, are you there? Kyle?
- Come in, come in. Mi
casa es su casa.
Nothing ever turns out
the way you plan, does it?
I suppose this means
they're gonna
take my name off the
JC's plaque.
God. How did I last
here so long?
It'll be good to get back
in the real world again.
Why are you so glum?
Nobody's ever what they
seem to be, baby.
Not daddy-kins here,
not hubby, not even you.
That's right.
You're not the innocent
prom queen anymore.
- Don't touch me.
[phone ringing]
- Cass County Sheriff's,
Deputy Ross.
Yes, sir. Oh, no kidding. Okay,
hang on.
Hey Don, it's for you.
- Get a number Phil, I'm busy.
- It's a Washington
County Sheriff.
They got Aaron.
Billy brought him in last night.
- Kyle?
- No sign of him, and
Billy's not talking.
- Well, we'll see about that.
- Yeah.
I'll need it first
thing this morning.
I'll need full tanks,
and I will give you my
flight plan when I get it in.
That's right.
Well, put it on my bill.
Thank you.
I love it when the call my Mr.
Lynch.
Money does weird things
to people, you know.
Here you go, my darling,
a little token of my
esteem and affection.
Open it.
Please.
I hope they fit. They
only had one size.
Well, I guess it's time to
depart this veil of tears.
God, listen to me now.
Down, Sam. Down, down, down.
You don't know how much pleasure
I would derive from
shooting a banker.
Put them on.
Just think of this as the
honeymoon that we never had.
And Sam, no stupid phone calls.
It is virtually impossible
to get blood out of
genuine leather seats.
Sayonara.
- Goddamn it, where the
hell are they?
Lynch will be here any minute.
- Chip, do you copy me?
Chip, goddamn it.
This piece of shit.
[static covered
voices from radio]
Come again?
Your signal's too weak.
- Put it away. Here they come.
[suspenseful music]
- What's going on? Where's Gene?
- [Carl] He'll be here.
- Who's this?
- This is the nosy little
asshole who turned us in.
I bet your shitting your pants.
- What'd you bring him here for?
- To blow his
fucking brains out.
- No, we don't want any
part of this.
Murder wasn't in the deal.
- But, why should you care?
You guys don't have
casualties in Chicago?
- [Guest] I think we'll
wait till Gene gets here.
- Who are you?
- You know damn well who we are.
- [Chip] This is Chip. Air
support is in the vicinity.
Where are you guys?
- [Carl] It's a set up.
They're cops.
[gun fires]
[dramatic music]
[guns firing]
- Shit.
- Chip? Chip?
Get that backup in here now.
[guns firing]
[dramatic music]
- There's Gene.
Gene! Gene!
[suspenseful music]
[guns firing]
Where are you going?
What the fuck?
[guns firing]
[dramatic music]
- Hey.
Hey, Gene?
What the hells going on?
- Please help me.
- [Gene] Everything ready?
- Yeah. Go ahead, take it.
- Good.
Get down on the ground with
your hands behind your head.
[airplane taxiing]
[truck engine revving]
[dramatic music]
[laughing]
- You are one crazy
son of a bitch.
- It's over, Gene.
It's all over.
- For you maybe.
Are you dizzy?
But you're seeing double too,
huh?
You're dying, Kyle,
slipping into darkness.
Can you feel the
darkness coming on?
[laughing]
Hey, winners and losers, pal.
That's all there is to life.
No hard feelings though, huh?
Business.
[dramatic music]
[sirens blaring]
Thank God you got here, Don.
I didn't know what I was
gonna do next.
It looks like we caught
it just in time.
- Good work, Gene.
You all right?
- Oh yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.
A bit shaky I guess.
- Better give me the gun now.
- Sheriff, drop your gun
or I'll blow your head off.
Now.
That's right.
Right, we got no problems here.
[suspenseful music]
I didn't want to have
to do this, Don.
I mean how would it look,
you arresting the JC's
man of the year?
[suspenseful music]
I got Julie in the cockpit.
If anybody moves out here,
I kill her.
[suspenseful music]
So long, guys. It's been
fun but I gotta fly.
- Gene. Look out behind you.
[laughing]
- Come on, Don. You can
do better than that.
[loud thumping]
[Julie screams]
[calm music]
- I don't know how we
did it, but we did it.
It almost looks too
pretty to drive now.
Okay you guys, get in the shot.
- Come on, Billy. You
get in the picture too.
Okay, everybody. Say Cheerios.
- [All] Cheerios.
[camera clicking]
- Oh, it's beautiful. You
guys should really be proud.
- What guys?
All they did was gab about
their childhood and drink beer.
This is car is 99%
Rocket Billy Bones.
- Yeah, right.
- Here, I mad you
some sandwiches,
in case you're not quite
ready for that diner food yet.
- Feels like there's
enough for a week.
- Gonna miss you, Kyle.
- Gonna miss you too.
I'm gonna miss all of you.
- Well, Christmas is
just around the corner.
We expect to see you then.
- It's a date.
- Have you heard from Julie?
- She's down in Kansas
city with her aunt.
She seems to like it
okay. She going to school.
- Gonna make a visit?
- I think I'm headed in a
new direction.
I better give this
buggy a test ride.
- Now, don't burn her up
the first day out there.
I don't want to have to
tow you in, okay?
- You ever needed
someone to talk to,
give me a call, I'm in the book.
- Heck yeah.
- If you see Wendy, tell
her goodbye and,
give her my love.
- Yeah, will do.
Audios.
[contemplative music]
- Well.
Take care, Kyle.
- I will.
- Hey.
[contemplative music]
- Nice car.
- Nice outfit. What
are you doing?
- What?
- Nice outfit. What
are you doing?
- What people at bus
stops usually do.
- Where are you going?
- I don't know.
I thought I might check
out LA for the Winter.
- What are you gonna
do when you get there?
- Whatever I want.
Better move your car. The
bus will be here soon.
- What do you want from me?
- I don't know.
A ride, maybe, if
you're going my way.
- Okay, get in.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.

killed on me.
You okay?
- Oh, yes. I'm fine. I'm fine.
- [Farmer] You almost
met your match that time.
- What you mean by that?
- Well, that was Kyle Lockwood.
Shoot, wait till the
sheriff hears he's back.
He hates his guts.
- The prodigal son has returned,
huh?
This aught to be real
interesting.
[contemplative music]

- I told you it was him.
What the hell are you doing
here? I thought you were in LA.
- I'm just driving through.

- [Wendy] Up your, Parker!
- [Parker] Move it along, Wendy!
- I can't believe you're back.
Come on down to see me tonight.
I'm waiting tables at the
old Riverside.
See you later, heart breaker.
[calm music]
- [Carl] You didn't do
shit to that car.
- The hell I didn't.
I spent two hours trying to
tune up that piece of shit.
But it's like I told you before,
you gotta get those valves
fixed before I can tune it up.
Just give me
goddamned keys back.
- The money.
- I don't let nobody
screw me around it.
- [Billy] Get your hands of me.
- [Kyle] Excuse me.
- Get lost.
- Now, that's sort of
the problem.
I am lost. Right, Billy?
- Yeah, he's lost all right.
- Look, dickhead. This
is none of your business.
This a-hole is trying
to screw me.
- You wouldn't do that,
would you Billy?
- Nah, I only screw my friends.
- Here. Take it, you
grease ball, whine-o.
Now, where's my keys?
- In the ignition of course.
- You guys just went to
the top on my shit list.
[engine cranks]
[tires squealing]
- Another satisfied customer.
- Damn, it's good to
see you again.
[laughing]
Hey, it's.
It's tea time.
So how long you been in town?
- About 20 minutes.
- Seen anybody?
- Yeah, I ran into Wendy.
Surprised she's still here.
- I'm surprised
anybody's still here.
- Julie still around?
- That's not why you
came back is it?
- No.
- She got married
about a year ago.
- Anyone I know?
- This guy, Lynch, Gene Lynch.
He came here, holy shit,
about five years ago.
He bought up a lot of land.
He practically owns the bank.
- And the bankers daughter.
- Yeah. Thinks he's hot shit.
Guess everybody else in
town agrees with him.
He drives around like he
owns the county.
- In a red 240 SX?
- Yeah.
- We met, on the highway
coming into town,
had a little cha cha cha.
- You ran him down?
- Sure hope he got his
car out of the ditch okay.
- Damn. I would've given
anything to seen that.
[laughing]
So how long has it been
since you've seen Aaron?
- [Kyle] Not since
Dad's funeral.
[calm music]
[grunting]
[laughing]
- Kyle?
I don't believe it.
Oh hey, we saw you on TV,
racing about.
When was that, about
two years ago?
- More like five.
- Oh really?
Well, I guess we have a
lot of catching up to do.
Oh shit.
Hope you guys are hungry,
because there's plenty of food.
- Smells great. Can we
give you hand?
- Sure. Why don't you mash
those potatoes?
- Anyone else want a brew?
- I thought you were
cutting back.
- Oh, it's just a beer,
Sis. come on. Don't worry.
One Rocket Billy Bone
special coming up.
- I can't remember the last
time I mashed potatoes.
- [Sally] Hey, if you're good at
there's plenty of
opportunities around here.
- Tractor belt busted again.
We have to get a new one.
- Well, I just got one.
I'm sure it's in my-
- Don't worry about it,
Sally. Just order a new one.
What brings you back?
- Just visiting.
- Well, you could have called.
- Thought I'd surprise you.
- Yeah, well you are
good at that.
How's the garage?
Still in business?
- Yeah, if you can
call it business.
- Yeah.
I'm gonna go wash up.
Excuse me.
[tense music]
[crickets chirping]
- So, what's on the
agenda for tonight?
- The usual.
Good booze and wild women.
- You with a wild woman?
Been taking bee pollen again?
- Hey, that was just
my experimental period.
- I thought we might stop by,
and see Terry on the
way into town.
- Terry split.
- You're kidding. Terry?
Where would he go?
- He didn't say.
- He just disappeared.
- Yeah, it was really
out of nowhere.
Everybody knew he was
having a hard time of it.
He got into a heavy loan
with the bank,
and they were really
coming down hard on him.
Just to disappear like that.
I guess he must've felt ashamed.
- Any more potatoes?
- Sure. I'll be right back.
[crickets chirping]
[phone ringing]
- That's for me.
- Can I get anyone
anything else?
- No thanks, Sal.
- I've got to go out for a bit.
I'll see you later.
[sighs]
- I'm sorry.
I just can't stand to see
him like this anymore.
It's driving me nuts. I just
wish he'd tell me what's wrong.
- There's probably a
lot of pressure on him,
to try and run the farm.
- We've always had that.
This last year, it's been
something else.
I don't know.
It's like there's something
eating at him inside,
and he won't tell me what it is.
I feel like I've been
frozen out of his life.
- Maybe I can talk to him.
- Would you?
- I can try.
- Thanks.
I'm gonna go wash my face.
[tense music]
- I think I need a beer.
[country bar music]
- I need to Mich Drys,
scotch and soda, Jose Cuervo.
- Christie, have you seen Wendy?
- She was here a minute
ago. She was out dancing.
[country bar music continues]
- That son of a bitch.
- Better keep you eye on
that one, Carl.
[music fades]
- Thanks.
- The pleasure's all mine.
- That's probably true.
I guess I better get
back to work.
- Yeah, I better go find
Billy before he empties a keg.
- Stick around. You
might get lucky.
- Okay okay okay, I'm a
little drunk.
But, don't tell me your
valve covers don't need
a little tightening up.
- We gotta go.
- Hey, no you don't.
No you don't.
- [Girl] Sorry, Billy.
- Calls for a toast.
[grunting]
- That Bud's a little
strong for you, huh Billy?
- The only thing that's
strong around here
is your breath, mother fucker.
- Yo Ted, I think our
buddy Billy here is drunk.
- He's running his mouth.
- Fuck off.
[punch lands]
[grunts]
- Ted, I'm gonna take
Billy outside now.
[Billy gagging]
[punches landing]
[Billy gagging]
You're not so mouthy now,
are you Billy?
Maybe you'd like to apologize.
- Eat shit and die.
[kicks landing]
[gun cocks]
[gun fires]
- Get away from him.
- What are you doing?
Put it down.
- Get away from him!
- Hey man, don't get
weird. It was a fair fight.
- Back off!
Come on.
[Billy coughing]
You all right?
- Yeah, I'm just great.
- Want me to kill him?
- You crazy.
- Am I talking to you?
- Why not? He's just a
worthless piece of shit.
- You can't do this.
You just kidding, right?
- Sorry.
- Hey, don't. Please.
Don't shoot.
- I'd feel bad about this.
You got any kids?
- No.
- All right.
- Hey, wait! Don't!
[gravel crunching]
[sirens blaring]
[police radio chattering]
- Yeah, I think he was just in
a hurry to change his shorts.
- Carl's one of those people
that I have no sympathy for.
Guy's a sociopath,
plain and simple.
Why Lynch hired him
is beyond me.
Anyway, what's the story, Kyle?
I thought you were out in
the coast, racing cars.
- Guess I just needed
to take a break.
- Think you'd be helping
Aaron with the farm,
or what, just to visit?
- Haven't really given
it much thought.
- I hope we get a chance
to have a beer
before you hit the road again.
It's been a while.
- What's he doing here?
- Carl McCormick
caused a little ruckus
with Billy down at the bar.
- I heard shots were fired.
- They were beating the
crap out of me.
- It was no big deal.
- Let me make this clear
from the beginning, Kyle.
Don't try me.
You do whatever business you
have here in town and get out.
Did you write him up?
- Well, no. I didn't think
there'd be any need to do that.
- Discharging a
firearm in the city
is a violation of the code.
Write him up.
- Yes, sir.
I don't think Don's too
happy to see you again.
- Guess he didn't mellow
much with age, did he?
- The way he treats you,
you'd think you were
the only one who ever raced
around town in a hot car.
I'm beat. Can we get
out of here?
- Sure. I'm on my way out too.
[phone ringing]
- Hey Gordy,
I've been meaning to talk
to you about something.
What'd did you guys find out
about Terry Thomas's
disappearance?
- Nothing. He just left.
He wasn't first, and he
won't be the last.
It's not so unusual around
her these days, Kyle.
It's not the same as
it used to be.
Come on, let's get going.
- This has gotta be some
kind of a record.
Quarter mile without
spilling a drop.
Thought you might want
to take a break.
- No, thanks.
- Need a hand?
- No.
So you gonna be around a
while or what?
- If I'm not in the way.
Suit yourself.
You've got as much right here
as I do. It's half yours.
- What do you say we go down
and get a couple of beers
after you're finished?
- Hard to say when
that would be.
- Well, I'll help you.
- I don't want your help, Kyle.
- Look, Aaron.
I know we've had some pretty
major differences in the past,
but can we talk this thing out?
Something's bugging you,
that's obvious.
Why won't you tell me?
- My life is none of
your business.
You want to hang around here
killing time, that's up to you.
But you leave me alone.
Why don't you run along and
play with your damn car?
[tense music]
[dramatic music]
[gun cocks]
- What the hell are
you doing here?
- I'm a friend of Terry's.
I was just looking for him.
- Who are you?
- Kyle Lockwood. I just
live down the road aways.
Terry is my friend.
- Well, he isn't here anymore.
- I kind of suspected that
from the shape of this place.
Guys mind putting the guns down?
- I think you better haul
ass out of here
before I call the sheriff.
You're trespassing.
- Know where I can find Terry?
- [Thug] No.
- Okay. You guys
have a nice day.
[tense music]
- [Guest] Nice place
you have here.
- [Gene] It's a roof.
- You'll have to come out
for a Cubbies game sometime.
- I would like that very much.
- Okay, Gene. We'll
give you a shot.
I'll call you later
to set it up.
Keep us happy and you
won't be sorry.
- I have never been sorry.
- I'll be in touch.
[suspenseful music]
- It's all right, gentlemen.
Everything is cool.
[upbeat music]
- [Kyle] A little early,
isn't it?
- Hair of the dog.
You gonna eat?

- You don't recognize them?
- No, should I?
- Found them at the
barn at Terry's.
- What were you
doing over there?
- Got a little curious.
Doesn't strike you as strange
that Terry would suddenly
up and leave his home
without a word to anyone?
- Nothing strikes me as
strange anymore.
This whole state is going
down the tubes.
- Hey, Rita. Can we
have a couple?
Thanks.
- I don't believe you.
You're so out of it that
you don't realize it
when one of your
friends disappears?
- What do you mean by that?
- Nothing. Just drop it.
- You mean, am I so plastered?
You got a lot of nerve Kyle.
You don't know what's
been going down here.
You're the one that's out
of it, 10 years out of it.
You really don't think I
noticed when Terry took off?
He split owing me five
fucking grand.

it's nobody's business

- Excuse me.
Could you tell me who I'd see
to find out about a
transfer of property rights?
- One of the loan officers
could help you right over there.
- Yes, Mrs. Cutler.
But you are two months
behind on your payments.
Why don't you see if you can't
cut something out of
your budget?
[knocking on door]
You don't want to
lose your house.
Yes, I know you will.
Goodbye.
- How's everyone at home?
- You know farmers.
It they don't have
something to complain about,
they'll make something up.
He's kept the place going,
which is more than I
could have done.
- More than you wanted to do.
I'm sorry.
- That's okay.
It's no secret I didn't want
to run the farm when I was 20.
- I guess the real secret
is what you did want.
Did you ever find it?
- Look, Julie.
I didn't come here to
get another one of your,
you started it arguments.
- I haven't started-
- I came here to find out
who foreclosed
on Terry Thomas's property.
Can you punch a few numbers
on your computer there
and find out?
I'm sure he had a loan
with the bank.
- Yes, he did.
Sort of.
- Did the bank foreclose or not?
- No.
- Terry came to us for a
loan, and he was turned down.
So he went to a third party.
When Terry left, he forfeited,
and the third party took
a lien out on the property
and paid off the outstanding
balance to the bank.
- Who is this
mysterious third party?
- My husband.
- Gene Lynch owns Terry's farm.
- Yes he does. Why?
- That's what I'd like to know.
- What is all this about Kyle?
- Hello, Kyle. What
brings you back to town?
- Hello, Mr. Parker.
- You seem to be having
quite a discussion.
Anything I can do to help out?
- Kyle was just asking about
the Thomas property that
Gene bought, Dad.
- Really?
Well, I'm sure you were
concerned about
your friend's disappearance,
as we all were.
It was an awkward
situation for all of us.
I just hope that Terry
is doing well,
and will come back
to us someday.
There's nothing shameful
about failing at
farming these days.
That's what I tried to
tell these farmers.
- Well, I want to keep you
from your jobs any longer.
- If you have any more
questions, Kyle,
feel free to stop by.
- I just may do that.
Nice chatting with you.
- Get lost.
- Feeling a little threatened?
[contemplative music]
[tense music]
- I don't think he's
expecting you, Mr. Lockwood.
What's it about?
- Business.
- It's all right, Carl.
Mr. Lockwood is more
than welcome here.
Go ahead and send him back.
[tense music]
[door slams]
Kyle. Good to see you.
Business, huh? Well, come
on back. We can talk here.
I hope you've come to see
me about a little rematch.
I fear my sense of caution
got the better of me
the other day.
- I understand that you're
now own Terry Thomas's farm.
- That's right, yes.
If you're interested, I
could probably
swing a loan for you
down at the bank.
I kind of have it in down
there, if you know what I mean.
- I was more interested in
the arrangement you
had with Terry.
- Oh, that's simple.
Terry had his up against
the wall. He needed money.
I offered to loan him
$50,000 against the farm.
Next thing you know, he
up and split.
I guess he just couldn't
handle the pressure.
- What pressure?
- Being in red ink up to here.
That can get to you
after awhile.
Poor sucker didn't know
whether he was coming or going.
- Why did you loan
Terry the money?
- Well, it's not because
I'm your good neighbor Sam.
We both know that.
Look, Kyle. I'm a businessman.
Making money as all I know.
When I see something
I can get on the cheap
and sell it a fat profit,
I'm interested.
I didn't know how Terry
could work things out,
things being the way they were.
I figured I could get
some more land cheap.
- Did Terry tell you
he was leaving?
No, I heard it from one
of the girls at work.
Can't say that I was
surprised though.
He always had the feel of
a quitter to me.
- Well, I won't take up
any more of your time.
I just wanted to get a
little more information.
- You looking for Terry?
- Yeah. You might say that.
- Owe you money?
- No.
You see, I know Terry
was no quitter.
His great grandfather
settled here in 1887.
He would've eaten beans
in the chicken coop
before he gave away that farm.
It would have taken more than
reading to chase him away.
- Well, you never can tell.
I've seen junkies in Chicago
sell their wedding
rings to get a fix.
- Yeah, well. We'll see.
- Hey, if you're ever
interested in exercising
that dinosaur yours
again, give me a shout.
I'll give you a quarter
mile headstart.
[country bar music]
- What's the great tragedy?
- Nothing, I was just thinking.
- Yeah, I gave it up. Gives
you wrinkles, you know?
- [Waiter] What can I
get for you?
- And for that pearl of wisdom,
you can buy me a drink, buddy.
Gin and tonic water.
- I'll have a shot of
Cuervo and another draw.
- So how's Billy doing?
- Just fine.
I think he was too drunk
to feel anything.
- Sorry about the whole thing.
- I guess Carl was just mad
at me for dancing with you,
and he took it out on Billy.
- Sure know how to pick them,
Wendy.
- In case you haven't noticed,
there's not a whole hell
of a lot to pick from.
Anyway, Carl's definitely
off my Christmas card list.
- Not that. Not the
Christmas card list?
- Yeah, I like to
make him suffer.
- You are cruel.
- And unforgiving.
[country bar music continues]
- What should we drink to?
- To about closing time.
[crickets chirping]
[Gene chuckles]
- Something wrong?
You look like you're
lost in space.
- Sorry.
I'm just thinking about
some things at work.
- Well, maybe I can help
you get your mind off it.
- Oh God, you spilled the wine.
- Forgot about it.
- I have to get it right
away, or it'll stain.
[crickets continue chirping]
Gene.
What are you doing?
- I said, forget it.
- It'll ruin it.
- I like things ruined.
- Good night.
- To love, honor, and obey.
For richer, for poorer,
till death do us part.
As long as you both shall live,
say it.
- What?
- Do you, Julie, take this man
to be your lawfully
wedded husband?
Say it, pumpkin.
- I do.
- You may now kiss the bride.
[crickets continue chirping]
- [Weather Man] That's
gonna give us lows
in the 15 degree mark tonight.
Bundle up.
[door opens and closes]
- You're putting in a long day.
- Guess I'll call it a night.
- No.
Sit down. Have a drink
with your little brother.
To mom and dad.
May they rest in peace.
I still remember the
night you left.
I woke up
in the middle of the night,
heard all this
screaming going on.
It was you and him going
at it in the kitchen.
I thought, one of them is
gonna kill the other for sure.
I put a pillow over my head
waiting for a shot or a scream.
But all I heard was the
back door slam,
and your car start, and the
gravel kick up as you tore off.
He stayed up till dawn
waiting for you to come back.
But you never did.
Mom went around crying
for a whole week.
But old Avery pretended
nothing happened.
He did his work.
He read the paper. He listened
to the stock reports at noon.
Never said a word about you.
Don't know if he was
mad at himself or you.
But you know he was never
the same after that.
But you were smart, Kyle.
You got the hell out of here.
You're free.
- Maybe my life is not as
wonderful as you think.
There is a price for everything.
- Oh tell me about it,
big brother.
Let's hear some of your
road weary philosophy
about your rough life in
the fast lane.
What do you know about paying
the price? You skipped.
I paid it for you.
I'm the one who had to work
his butt off 16 hours a day,
trying to keep this
godforsaken place together.
All you ever did was
just run around your car,
acting like you were
some big fucking deal.
Spare me the bullshit.
- I can't do anything to
change the past, Aaron.
But I'm here now, and
I'm willing to help you.
- You're not here to help me.
Christ. That is a good one.
Kyle.
You couldn't care less about me.
You're here 'cause
you're scared.
You're scared you're not
gonna make it out there.
You want some place to hide.
Well, it's not gonna be here.
This is my place.
I built it.
I sweated over it, and nobody's
gonna take it away from me.
- I'm not trying to
take it away.
[somber music]
- Nobody.
[contemplative music]
He stayed up till dawn
waiting for you to come back.
But you never did.
Mom went around crying
for a whole week.
But old Avery pretended
nothing happened.
- [Julie] Kyle, it's Julie.
Listen.
I think that we should talk.
Meet me at the old school
house in the morning.
[country bar music]
[voices overlapping]
- What's this?
- Nick bought a round
of drinks for the house.
- What'd he do, win the lotto?
- He sold all that river
land he was trying to unload.
- What dumb sucker bought that?
- Gene Lynch.
[upbeat music]
- Place sure brings
back the memories.
- It does.
I just wanted to say
I'm sorry about
the way I acted in the
bank yesterday.
I think seeing you just stirred
up a lot of old memories.
- Good or bad?
- Both.
- Yeah. They seem to go together
a lot, I've noticed lately.
- Why did you come back?
- It was sort of impulsive.
I was driving West in Kansas,
stopped at 3:00 AM to
get gas and,
suddenly got the urge
to come home.
- Did you think that
I'd be here?
- I pictured you here.
- Really?
How did you picture me?
About 10 years younger,
I suppose.
- Actually you were much older,
with long gray hair.
You were at your parents',
in the parlor playing
that big piano.
Almost the music I remember
more than the image.
[humming]
What's wrong?
[suspenseful music]
- [Julie] I guess I
don't understand
why Terry would just leave town.
It sounds awful doesn't it?
[suspenseful music continues]
[birds singing]
- You're just gonna
go back to him?
- I don't know.
I don't know what to do anymore.
I just need some time to think.
- Meet me later.
No pressure, I promise.
- When.
- Six. At the theater.
- Okay, but just for a bit.
- When did he leave?
Just tell him to call
me if you hear from him.
It's important.
No, I'm not drunk. Goodbye.
Kyle!
- What's the matter?
- You're not gonna believe this.
If you don't believe me, you
can just go look for yourself.
Gene Lynch has got a
lien on your farm.
He must have loaned
Aaron the money,
just like he did Terry,
everybody else.
Kyle, the guy owns all
the land along the river.
- It's all hills, rocks,
gullies.
It's useless for farming.
Why would he want that?
- I don't know.
- Want to find out?
- Why not?
[contemplative music]
See anything?
- Just weeds and trees.
- Maybe he just likes
to live next to a river.
- Let's go down and get
a closer look.
[suspenseful music]
- Man, we've covered six or
eight miles and got zilch.
I'm beat. Let's just
call it a day.
- Did you hear that?
- What?
[shushing]
- Listen.
- That sounds like a pump.
- Let's go.
[suspenseful music continues]
Someone's irrigating something.
Let's have a look.
[suspenseful music continues]
- Oh shit, it's marijuana,
acres of it.
- I bet this isn't his
only little spot.
That's why the river property.
Plenty of water, and impossible
to spot from the air.
- He's a drug dealer. Can
you beat that?
No wonder all the easy money.
He's laundering the cash.
You think Aaron's
involved with any of this?
- I don't know.
- And I'd love to see Lynch
get what's coming to him,
but not if it means
burning Aaron too.
- Why would he do
something stupid like this?
- He's broke. He's scared.
He's desperate.
Same reason as a lot
of other guys.
- Yeah. You're right.
Come on let's get out of here.
[phone ringing]
Yeah?
What?
Well, how the hell did
they find it?
Damn. Damn it.
All right look, look. This
is damage control time.
You get a crew out there,
and you strip every plot
that we haven't picked yet.
I'll get somebody to take
care of these fuckers.
[tractor engine rumbling]
- What do you want? I'm working.
- I need to talk to you now.
- What?
- I want to know what's
going on around here.
- I don't know about you,
but I'm trying to
harvest my damn crop.
- Does that include the pot
growing down by the river?
- What have you done?
- Billy found out at the
courthouse that Lynch has been
buying up all the property
up and down the river.
So we checked it out.
And we found a marijuana
patch growing on our property.
- Stupid son of a bitch. He
has video cameras down there.
He knows you were there.
He'll...
[suspenseful music]
Sally.
[dramatic music]
[gun fires]
- Sally!
- I think I shot him.
[crying]
- It's okay, baby. It's okay.
Sally and I have decided to
tell the sheriff everything
and take whatever comes.
- It can't be too bad if
you weren't selling it.
- There's something else
you don't know about.
I saw Terry and Michelle
killed by Lynch's men.
It's been eaten at me
for a year now.
But I was afraid to tell anybody
for fear of what might
happen to Sally.
I'm really sorry for the way
I've been treating everybody.
- Don't worry about it.
We're behind you all the way.
- Thanks.
- How's Sally doing?
- Okay.
She's still a bit shook up.
She's packing to go over
to Aunt Addies.
Well.
I guess I got to make
a phone call.
[somber music]
[police radio chattering]
- I left a message for the
sheriff with his missus.
He should be here real soon.
Should we get started with this?
- I think it's that one, Gordy.
- Let's get to it.
- All right.
[suspenseful music]
- This'll set the
county on it's end.
Gene Lynch involved in
drugs and murder, the story.
[suspenseful music continues]
He's dead all right.
- We've got company.
- Jesus, it's Lynch.
- Better radio for some help.
- I think I can handle
you dumb assholes myself.
You blew a good thing, Aaron.
You should have stayed cool.
[suspenseful music]
[gun fires]
[dramatic music]
- Come on, Kyle!
[dramatic music]
[gun fires]
[suspenseful music]
[guns firing]
[suspenseful music continues]
Kyle, I killed Gordy.
- Hush.
[suspenseful music]
Come on.
[birds singing]
- [Aaron] Hands up, asshole.
Don't move.
[rock and roll music]
- [Carl] That idiot.
What the hell is he
doing down here?
[guns firing]
- [Aaron] Oh shit.
They're coming, Kyle.
[rock and roll music continues]
[guns firing]
Son of a bitch.
[guns continue firing]
If you get ahead of
them, I can get a shot.
Now. Now Kyle.
[guns continue firing]
[rock and roll music continues]
- Now. Let's fucking go!
[rock and roll music continues]
- [Aaron] I'm out of shells.
[rock and roll music continues]
- [Kyle] Hang on.
[rock and roll music continues]
[car exploding]
- Go.
Go.
- [Announcer] 17 left
in the half.
Byron Bennett's gonna
have to have the ball,
held by Johanne Lewis
to kick if off,
because the wind keep
blowing if off the tee.
But the Oscars have
overcome a 45 to 14 lead.
And I agree entirely with
you here, Gary.
The whole package
it's on the line
with, I think, the most
talented team.
Here's the kick.
- Billy?
- [Announcer] And it is
Oliver, about seven yards.
Then we'll come out to
the 20 yard line.
- Yeah, I'm just finishing up.
You need help with something?
- No, it's personal.
- [Announcer] In the previous
portion of the broadcast.
The problem with Lassiter
was clearly not a problem
with lack ability, as a
lack of expertise.
- I hate to ask you.
But I don't know who else
I could go to.
We were supposed to meet
at the theater at six.
I just can't do it.
- [Announcer] And he's
filled with hope.
It's Missouri's first and
10 a the 20 yard line.
A minute, 17 to go in the half.
- Thanks.
I'm sure that you
don't understand.
- You gotta do what
you gotta do.
- [Reporter] This is a
KOTD news alert.
Cass County Deputy Sheriff,
Gordon Myles, has
been found dead.
Authorities believe the
local deputy was slain
during an arrest attempt,
and are seeking
Aaron and Kyle Lockwood in
connection with the crime.
Contact the local
sheriff's office
if you have any information
regarding these suspects.
- Oh my God.
- What time did you say
you were gonna meet him?
- At six.
[suspenseful music]
[engine revving]
- Billy, wait!
I'm coming with you.
- Hurry up.
[suspenseful music continues]
- Jesus, Kyle. This is crazy.
She's Lynch's wife. She probably
told him where to find us.
Get rid of her.
- Hi. Remember me?
- I'm busy.
- What's the matter. Did I
interrupt some sibling rivalry?
- I can't talk to you right now.
- Look, if you're mad at me,
why don't you just say so?
- I'm not mad at you.
- Wendy, get the hell
out of here now.
- Up yours, Aaron. Who
the hell do you think you-
- Just go.
- Here they come.
[suspenseful music]
- Damn.
- Come on.
- Stop!
[dramatic music]
[suspenseful music]
- How many left?
- Who's gun is that?
- Three.
- Why the hell did you
have to follow us?
- I don't know, 'cause
you were running.
[shushing]
[suspenseful music]
- What's going on, Kyle?
- It's a long story.
- Can you give me the
"Cliff Notes"?
- Gene Lynch had Terry killed.
Aaron saw it.
We showed Gordon the
body, and it turns out
he's in with Gene, and
Carl, and all the rest.
Aaron grabbed the gun,
and it went off.
- Kyle.
- Was he hurt?
- Yeah, he's dead.
- It was self defense. They
were trying to kill us.
[grunting]
[footsteps approaching]
[guns firing]
[suspenseful music]
[body thumps]
[suspenseful music continues]
There's the roof.
Go.
- Wait a minute. Where's Kyle?
- I don't know. He was
right behind us.
Let's go.
- Hold it. You ain't
going nowhere.
[gun firing]
[somber music]
- Get out.
Kyle, come on.
- [Kyle] Billy, wait.
[suspenseful music continues]
[gun fires]
[tires squealing]
- What's going on?
- Aaron's been hit. We've got
to get him to the hospital.
- No, not here.
- You'll bleed to death.
- We've got to get
him out of town.
- Where are we going?
- I don't know, just drive.
- It's just gonna be cops
along the road.
- We can go to my
uncle's. He's out of town.
- Okay, go.
[tires squealing]
- We've got the main highways
all covered by deputies.
But I want the back road
blocked off too.
Those guys know that
country too well.
Now along the river, I've got
four possible intersections.
- I think we can cover
those for you, Don.
That's sort of our turf.
- Okay, Carl.
That's along river road north
of town, here, here, and here.
The rest of you will come with
me, and we'll start a sweep.
Stay on channel 23, and
no talking. Questions?
Fine. Let's get on with it.
- That's about all we
can do right now.
How's it feel?
- Like a vice grip.
- I got the truck all rigged up.
I think it'll work.
- All right, let's go.
- Kyle?
- Take it easy, Aaron.
[crickets chirping]
[calm music]
- You gonna be all right?
- Are you?
I love you, Kyle.
- I love you too.
Come on, give me a hand,
all right.
Watch his arm, feet first.
Watch it, watch it, watch it.
Okay get the bale.
Cover your eyes. Hang tight,
there.
- Okay, I'm gonna go to Blair.
Take me about a half hour.
- [Kyle] Thanks, Billy.
- [Billy] Watch your ass.
Hey, Julie?
- That's for me, I take it?
- Yeah.
- I didn't even have the
guts to give it to you,
let alone tell you.
It seems silly now.
- [Kyle] Do you trust me, Julie?
- [Julie] Yes, I do.
- I can't explain
everything right now but,
I need your records
down at the bank.
- Which ones?
- Your husband's currency
transaction files.
- My father oversaw
them personally.
- I still need them.
- All right.
- Thanks.
Wendy can give you a
ride back to town.
I'm sorry.
- So am I.
[somber music]
[crickets chirping]
- There's a coffee
machine down the hall.
This could take awhile.
- Once a waitress,
always a waitress.
- [Julie] Dear Kyle, they
say you should be careful
what you wish for
because it may come true.
I think I understand that now.
Since you left, I've
had an emptiness in me
that I thought only
you could fill.
No matter how hard I
tried to forget,
it was always you who
came to me in my dream.
And through all the years
I've clung to the thought
that you would come back
and we'd be together.
But that can never be.
Time has parted us, and my
little girl dreams have to die
so that I can find out
who I really am.
Please try to understand,
love Julie.
[calm music]
- You know, one of the first
signs of marital difficulties
is spending too much time
at the office?
[suspenseful music]
Oh, what have we here?
Don't you want to share
your work problems with me?
- Dad?
- I had no choice.
It was either take his money
or let the bank go under.
It would have destroyed
the whole community.
- According to these files, Sam,
you accepted some rather
large deposits
from me that you didn't report.
That's against federal
regulations, you know?
It almost looks like you've
been laundering money.
- You bastard.
This is the end.
I don't care what happens
to me or the bank.
I'm turning you over.
- You really don't care, Sam?
Well, I don't really
care either.
Hey.
We don't care, right?
Live or die. What
difference does it make?
Good. Let's go.
[suspenseful music]
[phone ringing]
- [Wendy] Kyle. Kyle, it's me.
- Where are you?
What's going on?
- I'm at the bank. I
get locked in.
- [Kyle] Where's Julie?
- She left with Gene and
her dad. He's got a gun.
[grunting]
What should I do?
Kyle?
Kyle, are you there? Kyle?
- Come in, come in. Mi
casa es su casa.
Nothing ever turns out
the way you plan, does it?
I suppose this means
they're gonna
take my name off the
JC's plaque.
God. How did I last
here so long?
It'll be good to get back
in the real world again.
Why are you so glum?
Nobody's ever what they
seem to be, baby.
Not daddy-kins here,
not hubby, not even you.
That's right.
You're not the innocent
prom queen anymore.
- Don't touch me.
[phone ringing]
- Cass County Sheriff's,
Deputy Ross.
Yes, sir. Oh, no kidding. Okay,
hang on.
Hey Don, it's for you.
- Get a number Phil, I'm busy.
- It's a Washington
County Sheriff.
They got Aaron.
Billy brought him in last night.
- Kyle?
- No sign of him, and
Billy's not talking.
- Well, we'll see about that.
- Yeah.
I'll need it first
thing this morning.
I'll need full tanks,
and I will give you my
flight plan when I get it in.
That's right.
Well, put it on my bill.
Thank you.
I love it when the call my Mr.
Lynch.
Money does weird things
to people, you know.
Here you go, my darling,
a little token of my
esteem and affection.
Open it.
Please.
I hope they fit. They
only had one size.
Well, I guess it's time to
depart this veil of tears.
God, listen to me now.
Down, Sam. Down, down, down.
You don't know how much pleasure
I would derive from
shooting a banker.
Put them on.
Just think of this as the
honeymoon that we never had.
And Sam, no stupid phone calls.
It is virtually impossible
to get blood out of
genuine leather seats.
Sayonara.
- Goddamn it, where the
hell are they?
Lynch will be here any minute.
- Chip, do you copy me?
Chip, goddamn it.
This piece of shit.
[static covered
voices from radio]
Come again?
Your signal's too weak.
- Put it away. Here they come.
[suspenseful music]
- What's going on? Where's Gene?
- [Carl] He'll be here.
- Who's this?
- This is the nosy little
asshole who turned us in.
I bet your shitting your pants.
- What'd you bring him here for?
- To blow his
fucking brains out.
- No, we don't want any
part of this.
Murder wasn't in the deal.
- But, why should you care?
You guys don't have
casualties in Chicago?
- [Guest] I think we'll
wait till Gene gets here.
- Who are you?
- You know damn well who we are.
- [Chip] This is Chip. Air
support is in the vicinity.
Where are you guys?
- [Carl] It's a set up.
They're cops.
[gun fires]
[dramatic music]
[guns firing]
- Shit.
- Chip? Chip?
Get that backup in here now.
[guns firing]
[dramatic music]
- There's Gene.
Gene! Gene!
[suspenseful music]
[guns firing]
Where are you going?
What the fuck?
[guns firing]
[dramatic music]
- Hey.
Hey, Gene?
What the hells going on?
- Please help me.
- [Gene] Everything ready?
- Yeah. Go ahead, take it.
- Good.
Get down on the ground with
your hands behind your head.
[airplane taxiing]
[truck engine revving]
[dramatic music]
[laughing]
- You are one crazy
son of a bitch.
- It's over, Gene.
It's all over.
- For you maybe.
Are you dizzy?
But you're seeing double too,
huh?
You're dying, Kyle,
slipping into darkness.
Can you feel the
darkness coming on?
[laughing]
Hey, winners and losers, pal.
That's all there is to life.
No hard feelings though, huh?
Business.
[dramatic music]
[sirens blaring]
Thank God you got here, Don.
I didn't know what I was
gonna do next.
It looks like we caught
it just in time.
- Good work, Gene.
You all right?
- Oh yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.
A bit shaky I guess.
- Better give me the gun now.
- Sheriff, drop your gun
or I'll blow your head off.
Now.
That's right.
Right, we got no problems here.
[suspenseful music]
I didn't want to have
to do this, Don.
I mean how would it look,
you arresting the JC's
man of the year?
[suspenseful music]
I got Julie in the cockpit.
If anybody moves out here,
I kill her.
[suspenseful music]
So long, guys. It's been
fun but I gotta fly.
- Gene. Look out behind you.
[laughing]
- Come on, Don. You can
do better than that.
[loud thumping]
[Julie screams]
[calm music]
- I don't know how we
did it, but we did it.
It almost looks too
pretty to drive now.
Okay you guys, get in the shot.
- Come on, Billy. You
get in the picture too.
Okay, everybody. Say Cheerios.
- [All] Cheerios.
[camera clicking]
- Oh, it's beautiful. You
guys should really be proud.
- What guys?
All they did was gab about
their childhood and drink beer.
This is car is 99%
Rocket Billy Bones.
- Yeah, right.
- Here, I mad you
some sandwiches,
in case you're not quite
ready for that diner food yet.
- Feels like there's
enough for a week.
- Gonna miss you, Kyle.
- Gonna miss you too.
I'm gonna miss all of you.
- Well, Christmas is
just around the corner.
We expect to see you then.
- It's a date.
- Have you heard from Julie?
- She's down in Kansas
city with her aunt.
She seems to like it
okay. She going to school.
- Gonna make a visit?
- I think I'm headed in a
new direction.
I better give this
buggy a test ride.
- Now, don't burn her up
the first day out there.
I don't want to have to
tow you in, okay?
- You ever needed
someone to talk to,
give me a call, I'm in the book.
- Heck yeah.
- If you see Wendy, tell
her goodbye and,
give her my love.
- Yeah, will do.
Audios.
[contemplative music]
- Well.
Take care, Kyle.
- I will.
- Hey.
[contemplative music]
- Nice car.
- Nice outfit. What
are you doing?
- What?
- Nice outfit. What
are you doing?
- What people at bus
stops usually do.
- Where are you going?
- I don't know.
I thought I might check
out LA for the Winter.
- What are you gonna
do when you get there?
- Whatever I want.
Better move your car. The
bus will be here soon.
- What do you want from me?
- I don't know.
A ride, maybe, if
you're going my way.
- Okay, get in.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
