Peachy, aside from almost

Yeah, must have been

for a man like you.

A civilian, I mean.

His name was, uh,

- What about the courts?

- It'll never get that far.

It was self-defense.

- He was unarmed.

- Well, you didn't know that.

It's called "fear of life."

Uh, legally,

he might as well have been
pointing a gun at you.

Look...

He's a wanted felon.

You're an upstanding citizen
without a record.

Sometimes the good guy wins.

- Hmm.

We're gonna have to keep that
awhile, okay?

- Belonged to my dad.

- He was a good man.

He'd have been proud.

Now, you can't take that

- Why?
- Just because.

- Because why?

Because I'm your father
and I said so.

- Bang!
- Hey.

I have to talk

I hear you got you one
last night.

Back at the paper, they told me.

I couldn't believe it was you
at first.

I didn't think
you had it in you.

- Hey, take it easy, Jack.

It's not something I'm proud of.

Well, it's nothing
to be ashamed of.

Some son of a bitch
breaks into my house,

he better be ready to pick
his teeth out of his ass.

Shoot, man, if it was me-

- It wasn't you.

It was me.

Now, Jack, if you got mail,
leave it.

Otherwise, I'm busy.

He didn't give me much choice.

You're right.

Doesn't make it any better.

Oh, that was a nice picture

Come with me.

Get in the car.

Come on, son.
Son, come on.

Get in the car.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Did he say anything to you
at the school?

- No, he just waved.

- He waved?
- Yeah.

(SNIFFS)

So what do you want me
to do here, Rich?

- I want him arrested.

- For what?

He hasn't done anything.

- He threatened my son.

He said your boy
looks like you.

It's not a threat.

He showed up
at Jordan's school.

In broad daylight,
in front of witnesses,

and did nothing.

- He wants my son.

I know it.
I want protection.

- That's not gonna happen,

not without a legal reason.

- (SCOFFS)

I'll tell you what I'll do,
Rich.

Unofficially, I'll have a car
stop by your house

every couple hours
over the next few days,

give you
a little peace of mind.

He's probably just trying
to scare you.

Don't let him.

- What were you thinking?

Richard.

Why even go there?

- It was a mistake, okay?

I fucked up.

(FORK CLANKS)

- I don't like that word,

not in front of Jordan.

What are we supposed to do now'?

(SIGHS)

Maybe you and Jordan
should stay at your mom's

for a while
until this blows over.

- What if he follows us there?

I don't want to put her
in danger too.

What about your dad's cabin?

- No, it's too isolated.

Besides, that's the last place
I want to be.

- I want a igloo colada.

Son, don't talk
when other people are talking.

It's not polite.

Eat your dinner.

I say we stay home,

take Jordan out of school
for a little while,

let the cops handle it.

We wait him out.

We already got bars
on the windows and-

- But I don't want-
- Damn it, Jordan!

That means I can give you

Now, all you got to do

go to work,
take Jordan to school,

be seen.

And everywhere you go,

I'll have someone watching.

So when he makes his move,

See, Freddy-

he was wanted.

He dyed his hair.
He was wearing contact lenses.

Now, we know Freddy
ain't no saint,

they some bad dudes.

I want to feel them out first.

But first thing,
we got to relocate.

If Price is as slick

we got to get the old hoes here

You know what that is?

They give people a new start,
new name, new place-

mob informers and shit.

Yeah, you got the picture,
framer.

They're the ones
that set you up.

So over the last couple years,

your son's been running
with the Dixie boys,

doing whatever Mafia types do.

And the shit gets
way over Freddy's head,

and the law
comes down on him hard.

Soto keep from going
to the slammer,

he starts to sing
like a little bird

against his old buddies,
the Dixie boys.

Now, you don't want to fuck
with the Dixie Mafia.

And the feds know that,
so they make Freddy a deal.

They'll hide him
if he gives them what they need.

- So they faked it.

- It's beautiful.
