Goodland (2017) - full transcript

I hear there has been a wolf
seen around here.

Probably just a coyote George.

Game warden says it's a wolf.

Said he's seen the tracks
himself.

New game warden's a little green

behind the ears if you ask me.

He came by my place
the other night,

asked me if I'd seen a wolf.

Tell him it was probably just
a coyote.

Twenty on pump one.

- Is that all for ya?
- Yes, sir.



- Need a receipt?
- No.

Alright man. Have a good day.

I told the game warden
I hadn't seen any wolf.

If I did, he wouldn't
know about it.

And he wouldn't have to
worry about it either.

Nobody's gonna worry about it
anyway.

on second thought,

is there a place around here
to stay?

To stay? You mean like a motel?

Yeah. Someplace
fairly inexpensive. Quiet.

Well, every place around here
is pretty quiet,

but the Empire is down the way.

They're the cheapest in town.

But you're gonna get
what you pay for.



The new outfit up there off
the interstate's got a pool.

The Empire, you say it's
down that way?

Yeah, you go out
and take a right,

go straight about half a mile,

then you'll start seeing
the signs.

Thank you.

I still think it's just
a big coyote.

Probably.

Well, Dean...

looks like you overcorrected
this time.

Now you're high.

Alright, don't get your panties
in a bunch.

Oh shit.

You boys having fun?

Oh, just sighting in
the new rifle Sheriff.

I can see that.

And that stop sign down at
the corner,

it wouldn't be newly perforated
as a result now

would it... Deputy?

Well... uh...

We just figured if it was
already shot to shit, then

maybe the kids in town wouldn't
think they needed to do it.

That makes about as much sense
as anything that comes about

as a result of your
thought process.

Hey, why don't you take that
rifle of your and show this

sorry excuse for a Deputy
how it's really done.

Not today.

Deputy Francis, why don't you
take the car back to town.

Deputy Carr, you're with me.

Is everything alright Sheriff?

Game Warden's out at
Chuck Barrett's place.

Called in about an hour ago.

Asked if we could keep it off
the scanners for the time being.

Doesn't want the whole town
to know.

So what exactly is it that...

he doesn't want the whole town
to know?

Sounds like we got a body.

See ya back at the shop.

Somebody will be right with you.

Ida, someone's at
the desk.

Can you take care of it?

I'm in the middle of something.

Get your ass out there,
that's what I pay you for.

...number three is backed up.

- Here.
- She'll be with you momentarily.

I'm sorry... I uh...

Sorry I was just...

Doing your makeup?

What can I help you with?

I need a room.

Well, we've got plenty of those.

Um... what brings you
to the Empire?

It came...

highly recommended.

Really?

Cause the hotel

off the interstate has a pool,
you know.

You know... I'm not much
for swimming.

Um...

we have a single.

Actually all we have are singles
is that okay?

I'm only one person.

And your name?

Ergo Reins. E-R-G-O.

That's an unusual name.

about as unusual as Ida.

How did you know...

I heard your boss.

Right.

It's my grandmother's name.

my last name's Flowers.

That one's my daddy's...

Well, I bet it suits you
better than it ever did him.

So, how long will you be
staying with us Mr. Reins?

Five nights.

It's just enough time
to get comfortable.

I hope not.

Thanks Warden.

So anyway, like I was saying,

we finally went out
the other night

and we ended up at the dinner.

You been there? They got
new menus now.

Anyway, so they got these
new menus so I ask Sophie,

I said, "How come you got
new menus?"

She said, "Well the prices
went up

so we had to get new menus".

So then I thought, "Well,
how come the prices went up"?

And you know what she said
when I asked her?

- Hard saying.
- She said prices went up

because they had to pay for
the new menus.

Now, I'm not a smart man but...

I didn't know there accusations.

You know it. It doesn't make
any sense at all, does it?

Afternoon Chuck.

Sheriff.

Ugh, God.

That's knock a buzzard
off a shit wagon.

Looking pretty stopped up here,
Chuck.

I don't have any idea what
he was doing in my field,

but if he didn't hear that
combine coming down the row,

he was probably in pretty
bad shape to start with.

He's dead.

Sure about that Deputy?

Oh, I'm pretty sure about that.

Can't get much better than
pretty sure.

Got any idea who he might be?

Well, that won't be too tough.

That's that old boy we
dropped off

outside of town yesterday.

Terence Valor.

He drifted into town
a couple days ago

got drunk as a skunk

and picked a fight with
the Richter kid.

So we...

kept him in the drunk tank until
was sobered up

and we tried to help him
on his way.

Thanks to Chuck here,

doesn't look like he made it
too far.

Am I gonna be in any trouble
over this?

I don't think you have anything
to worry about.

We'll just need a statement.

And my machine...

we got corn to cut.

Not all of us are striking oil
around here you know.

I'll get Dale down here

and see what he can do for ya.

Oh, and... don't worry Chuck.

Next time we'll make sure
to deposit

the riffraff on the other side
of town.

Apologize for the inconvenience.

Oh, like it's my fault

Chuck's combining up all
the tourists.

This is Sheriff Gaines

calling in a 419,

eight miles north of town.

Oh, thank you.

You're welcome dear.

Looks like you got a classic.

- Come again?
- Your camera?

Haven't seen one of those
in a long time.

Yeah.
It's from a different time.

A lot of things like that
around here are.

So, you'll fit right in.

you heard the news this morning?

No, I'd rather read the paper
than hear it from you.

Thank you.

Wife seen Helen Barrett
at church last night.

Oh shit. Last time Helen Barrett
was in church

was down in the basement of an
AA meeting.

He's just trying to get a rise
out of you, Don.

She said Chuck hit something
with the combine

out north of town.

Hit something?

A body.

There's not a whole lot left
of your boy to examine.

And the cause of death?

Is that even a question?

Well, it's not an answer.

There's a very good chance
that...

he drank himself to death

before the header even
got to him.

Have you sent away for
the toxicology report?

No, no one ordered one yet.

There's no doubt he was drunk.

Alcohol outweighs the stench
of death on him.

Is there something you're not
telling me?

Like how to do your job?

Look, if you want me to
dig deeper,

I'll do what I can.

A toxicology report's gonna take

at least four to six weeks.

Right.

What are you thinking?

I don't know yet.

I ran him through the system

and he had a hefty list
of priors near Detroit.

Charged but never convicted.

From what I can gather he was
let go

on technicalities over
a handful of times.

Oh, I bet he'd take a being
locked up over this.

Any personal items recovered
from the body?

Not much.

Just half a cell phone that's
worse for wear.

Alright.

Send off for that report

and keep me posted.

Well, I thought that went well.

Did you get Terrence Valor
blackout drunk

on your way out of town Mike?

No, I did not.

And after an alcohol related
incident,

we didn't send him out
into the world

with liquor on his person,
did we?

No, we certainly did not.

So...

short of coming five miles
into town to get booze,

which isn't even sold on Sundays
in this town,

and then back out eight miles
to Barrett's place,

this story of him getting
piss drunk

in a field by himself,
doesn't add up.

No, I guess it doesn't.

What other options do we have?

Good question.

Guess I'll start in with
Dan Richter

first thing tomorrow morning.

You see what you can find out
about that cell phone.

Okey-doke.

Pull over there.

Well, that's an
interesting looking fella.

Good afternoon.

Afternoon officer.

What you've got going on there?

Just taking some photographs.

I can see that.

You're not from around here,
are you?

Stopped over for a few days
as I pass through.

Uh, Goodland's an odd choice
for a stopover.

What kind of work you into,

if you don't mind me asking?

I'm shooting for a book.

Is that a picture book

or a book-book?

It's a book of photographs.

Small town people and places
mainly. Real Americana.

Guess you came to
the right place.

My ex-husband used to always use
those old disposable cameras.

Still got a shoebox full of them
somewhere undeveloped.

Hard to find a place that'll do
that kind of thing anymore.

Probably wouldn't want to see
what's on them even if I did.

Mind if I take a look at some
of your pictures?

You know,
just out of curiosity.

Oh, like your husband
I shoot on film.

Black and white mainly.

Ex-husband.

I didn't even know they made
those anymore.

It's a dying art.

Got this one from a
secondhand store long time ago.

Sheriff Gains by the way.

- Georgette Gaines.
- Ergo Reins.

Ergo is it?

Can't say I've ever heard
that one before.

Most people haven't.

you staying out by
the interstate?

No, the Empire Motel.

Can't stand the smell
of chlorine.

Well, Ergo Reins,

I'll be looking forward to
seeing you around town

next couple of days.

You take care now.

Good idea, keeping the chain on.

There's a lot of bad people
in this town,

I might be one of them.

Something I can help you with?

I was just wondering how
you were enjoying your stay?

You knock on all your patron's
doors

and ask them about their stay?

I do. All two of you.

Sometimes is hard to get around
to everyone

so I'm sorry for calling
so late.

Everything seems to be in order.

Thanks for stopping by.

What you got going on in there?

Nothing, just some
photo equipment.

I've seen you around with
your camera.

You're not filming a dirty movie
in here, are you?

No. nothing like that.

Oh.

That's too bad. I was hoping
for a little excitement.

It's for developing photos.
So basically

shuts out all the light.

Going to a party?

No, just meeting some people.

So, it turns the bathroom
into a darkroom?

Essentially. Now...

If you'll excuse me.

I've never seen one like that
before.

Been around a lot of
photo equipment, have you?

I took a class once.

College elective?

Yeah, something like that.

If you don't mind I really
do have to get back to work.

Well,

it seems like you could use
a little help.

No thanks. I'll be fine.

Don't be silly. I'll help you
and then I'll be

out of your hair in no time.

Come on.

Don't be so stubborn.

I'll tell you all of Goodland's

dirty little secrets while
we work.

Keeping the night watch?

Well, somebody's got to.

If you're in here with me,
you're not out there doing it.

Deputy Francis is
on duty tonight.

That boy couldn't poor piss
out of a boot

if there were instructions
printed on the heel.

He means well.

Hell, I mean well.

Doesn't change the fact that
I might shit the bed

from time to time.

Here. Got you something.

When are you going to cut
this shit out?

You always said you wanted
to read the classics.

Yeah well...

that was back when I thought
there might actually be

some meaning to all this.

I know why you're here.

I just handed it to ya.

The real reason.

I heard the call the other day.

Just a drifter who...

wondered into town and...

showed up dead in a field.

But...

You don't believe that

or you wouldn't be here
bothering me.

You act as if I don't come
to see you

three times a week as is.

So, you keeping this all
under wraps?

Nothing to keep under wraps.

Everybody knows what I know.

So far it's...

just a feeling.

No point in getting everyone
riled up over a feeling.

Maybe yes. Maybe no.

I'm just trying to do
the right thing.

The right thing.

You can spend your whole life
trying to do the right thing.

Trying to stay in the light.

But eventually...

the sun sets,

then it's all you can do
just to...

ride out the night.

I've heard how flat
it was out here, but...

I had no idea.

A man could watch his dog
run away from home

for three days.

is that yours?

What?

That little anecdote.

You come up with that yourself?

No. I guess not.

It's just something I heard
my dad say once...

We don't have to talk about it.

Oh, no, I don't mind.

It's just that he left...

Really, let's not talk about it.

How much longer you think
this place will stay open?

- What, the motel?
- Aha.

Well my manager Benny,
he lives here so...

I don't know.

New hotel can't be too good
for business.

There was a time when
all these rooms were full.

Back before I worked here.

When they found oil
outside the town.

All the drillers were coming in.

and then harvest time came

and the custom cutters got here,

and there just wasn't
enough room for everybody.

So it kind of had to happen.

Now everybody just...

stays out there.

I don't blame them.

I would too.

- Well, I better...
- Wait.

This is my favorite song.

You have to dance with me.

- No, I...
- Oh, come on.

Really I'm... no good.

Fine.

Then I'll dance.

Come. Dance. With me.

I'm sorry.

Really I am.

Oh shit.

Leroy. Nine-sixteenths.

Leroy!

Goddammit!

I said nine-sixteenths not
five-eighths...

Been twenty years or more

since I worked in my dad's
garage.

Must be a little rusty.

Nice story. What are you
doing here?

Maybe I'm here to get my truck
fixed.

- But you're not.
- You're right.

I'm not.

Been hunting lately Dan?

I don't hunt.

Really? Hmm.

Not even...

wayward drifters

who may or may not have had
a problem

with the way your face
is arranged?

Come on.

That's not mine.

That's good news.

Seeing as how possession of
a firearm would be

a violation of your parole.

Seriously, what do you want
from me?

Man, you gonna arrest me
on that shit,

you need a warrant just
to be here, right?

I wanna know if you had anything

to do with that man's death.

What I heard is your man went

head to head with the combine.

Now I ain't been driving
no combines,

if that's what you're asking.

I'm just exploring all
the possibilities.

He got what he deserved
if you ask me.

But I didn't touch him.

Look, we had words at the bar,
yes.

Then he was the one that
hauled off

and started punching me
right in the fucking face.

I went down and that was it.

He's lucky that your boy Francis
was there

because that whole bar
would have kicked his ass

if I just said so.

And that's all that happened?

You wouldn't have happened
to follow up with him

once he was let out?

I'm fucking positive.

Left early the next morning
for a salvage run

you can ask Leroy,
wherever the hell he is.

Did he talk to anyone else
while he was there?

How should I know that?

When I got there he was down
at the end of the bar

just drinking by himself.
He wasn't talking to nobody.

Was just him and that
big fucking camping bag of his.

Alright.

Well thank you

for your... superb cooperation
Mr. Richter.

I'll be taking this with me.

I would hate for a
law enforcement officer

to saunter in and

happen to see it just
lying around.

It not being your and all.

You can see how that would be
confusing.

Oh, and...

It's in your best interest to
stick around

for a couple of weeks.

Wouldn't look too good if you
were to skip town

right now you know?

Whatever.

Mike. Valor had a bag
when you dropped him off, right?

But it wasn't recovered
in the field.

We need to find that bag.

No camera today.

Oh no. Not today.

Just have to run a few errands.

Delivery.

1926 Main Street.

Half-a-dozen roses.

No vase.

Reins... Ergo.

Shit.

Don't move.

I said don't move asshole.

Put your hands up.

This girl... this girl
in these photos is sixteen.

Now, I don't know who you are,
but I'm about ready...

what the hell do you think
you're doing?

I was... I was just trying
to scare you away from her.

Whatever you've been told,

whatever you think you've seen
in these photographs,

I'm not interested in your
little girlfriend. Okay?

Don't come around here again
kid.

You're only gonna get
yourself hurt.

Ergo. Is every...

You sixteen?

You don't think that would be
nice to know.

I thought you knew. I thought
you could tell.

You thought I could tell?

No never mind. It doesn't matter
anyway

because nothing happened
between us,

but how do you explain these?

You know what? Save it.

Alright. Your boyfriend
just pulled a gun on me

in the parking lot.

- I... I...
- Don't.

Stay away from me.

I don't want to see you
anywhere near my room

or my things again.

Alright?

I mean it Ida.

And you're sure he didn't have
this bottle?

I'm positive.

Look, we've been over this
before.

Maybe...

Maybe he had it stashed
someplace out there.

I suppose it's possible.

Well everything else is here.

We're not missing anything.

Well I don't think anyone

except the coyote
was chomping at the bit

to get to Terrence Valor's claim
to his world.

Nice car.

Someone helped

to get him drunk though.

Alright, so let's say

someone did get him drunk.

Who?

I've never been one for
conspiracy theories, Mike.

Well, today might be a good day
to get one started.

All I can think of is that

he knew someone around here.

Someone he trusted.

hey, I know you.

No, I don't think so.

I do. You're that a...

you're that stranger that's been
going round

taking pictures and shit.

News travels fast.

So why are you taking all these
pictures, huh? Is it like...

Like look at these small-town
country idiots.

See how they live. Is that it?

It's a... it's for a book.

No shit.
What kind of book?

Don't worry, it's a picture book

even you can read it.

What did you say to me?

Look...

Can I just drink alone

like the rest of the alcoholics
in this bar?

What's your name, man?

Ergo.

Air what?

Er-go.

It's Latin for therefore.

I got it, so... so

'cause your name's in some other

form of speech, therefore

you think you're better
than me.

No.
more like I'm not in the mood

therefore

you should back the fuck off.

Don't move another step.

That's a hell of a greeting.

Why don't ya put that gun down

quit fucking around.

Grab everything you have
for the job,

we're going to meet Guy.

What the fuck was that
back at the bar?

- It was nothing.
- Nothing?

Not doing a very good job
of keeping a low profile.

I can take care of myself.

Just like your buddy Valor?

Why did it take you two days
to contact me

after one of our men turns up
dead in a field?

What did you want me to do
about it?

We adapt. We're moving forward.

Moving forward?

What if someone is on to us?

For all we know
our cover is blown.

Nobody is going to make
a connection between

a photographer and
custom cutters.

Look, it doesn't matter alright?

The whole job needs to be
put on hold.

Does El Charro know?

Look...

you're new.

Maybe you're not clear

on how things work
on these operations.

El Charro contacts me,

not you, and never
the other way around.

So he doesn't know that
we're one man down?

We're doing this without Valor.

It's as simple as that.

Valor brought me in,

alright? I don't even know
if I can trust you.

This was a four person job
for a reason.

And I'm also in charge
for a reason.

And if you have a problem
with that,

or the way I run things,

this is your one and only chance
to walk away.

Yeah. That's what I thought.

You continue to do your job

and let me worry about the rest.
You got it?

- Got it?
- Yeah.

I got it.

Here.

There's three numbers
on that phone.

I'm listed as number one,

Kilmer's two, Valor was three.

You keep doing your thing

and wait for a call.

Careful, it's hot.

you know somewhere along
the line

I got it in my head that

that real men drink their
whiskey straight

and their coffee black.

Don't know where I came to
that conclusion.

Well, I guess that makes you
more of a man than me then.

Now...

What's that mean when you were

pouring whiskey in your coffee
every morning then?

I'm just honest enough to admit

that without sugar this shit
tastes like burnt asshole.

Hmm.

So, what you got for me?

Not a thing that would make
anyone think

this is something more than
it appears to be.

Nothing makes a whole lot
of sense at the moment.

If life made any sense,

I'd be dead and you'd have to
find somebody else to harass.

You're the one who's asking
all the questions.

Might as well be talking
to the fence post

for all the answers you got
for me.

But you won't let me alone

and I can't stand talking about
the weather with you anymore

so I talk about this.

Got the Feds involved yet?

No. I don't know what I'd
tell them at this point.

Just as well.

They'd only come
riding in here with

dicks out looking for
a measuring contest.

Got any leads?

Talked to the Richter kid.

He and Valor got in a scuffle
down at the bar

before he turned up dead.

Henry Richter's boy?

Hmm.

Valor's got more guts
than a slaughterhouse

picking a fight with
the local kid in that bar.

It doesn't matter,

Richter's alibi checks out.

Ah hell, let me guess... church.

he was out of town on a salvage.

Any hard evidence?

Working on the cell phone.

It was all but destroyed
in the accident.

He had a pack on him,

coyotes strung out
all the contents,

but we were able to
recover everything,

including a bottle of whiskey

that he had somehow acquired

from the time we dropped him off

to the time he turned up dead.

Well, this will come as
no surprise to you, but...

Whiskey is not all that
difficult to get in these parts.

Anyone new on the scene?

Harvest crews are in town.

And then there's the oil boys
of course, and...

And?

Hal, why would someone stay at

the old Empire Motel these days?

Empire?

I didn't even know that place
was still a business.

Well, you'd have to have
an affinity for

peeled wallpaper and the smell
of piss I guess.

Or you want privacy.

Yeah.

Be right there.

Vern told me that
four of these phones

were purchased on the same day,

all prepaid and in cash.

And there's no way of
tracing them.

They're burners.

If there's anything to learn,

it will be on Valor's SIM card.

Did I tell you

our photographer friend
is from Michigan.

Can't say that you did, but...

So why is that important now?

Valor's priors were all
acquired in Detroit.

So, you think they're linked?

And then

there's this.

I told you, that's a really
nice car.

We got that Francis.

It's not what's in the photo.

It's the photo itself.

Black and white. Film stock.

Real Americana.

There are three numbers
saved on here,

but there are no names.

They're saved as one, two
and three.

So, let's call them.

And say what if they answer?

Good evening, you or

someone you know wouldn't
happen to be involved

in the death of Terrence Valor
would you?

Look, I don't know what to say

but if you have a better idea

we need to hear it and
we need to hear it now.

If one of these numbers
is Reins,

we need to see the phone,

see it ring.

We need to be there for it.

Better be on time
tomorrow morning.

And drop the attitude

or you won't have a job
to bitch about.

- Ida.
- Don't.

feel sorry for me.
I don't need your pity.

- Ida, I know that...
- Don't, okay?

You've made it very clear
how you feel about me.

Ida, you're just a kid.

Don't patronize me.

You don't know what
I've been through

and besides age is just a...

what? A number?

No.

Age is...

deliberate accumulation
of experience.

Great.

Well, then I've been
deliberately fucking up

my life for a while now.

Look.

Who you are now,

and who you become,

they don't have to be the same.

You don't know anything
about me.

You're right.

I don't.

and you don't know anything
about me either.

But you still...

threw yourself at me like I was
what, gonna save you

from this place? Is that
what you thought?

I really liked you.

You realize how immature
that sounds?

I felt it from you too.

The way you talked to me.
The way you watched me.

The way you kissed me.

My father left me when
I was young too.

I only have a single memory
of him, and even that,

I wonder if I'm not just...

piecing together old stories
I've heard

filling the rest with what
I've seen in old photographs.

I remember him

taking a picture of me
and my mother.

Even though he's not
in the picture,

it's what I have
to remember him by.

My camera,

his camera,

and that photo,

all that's left.

Everything else is gone.

Don't allow yourself
to be defined

by those who leave.

Including me.

Evening Kathy.

Sure is getting cold out there.

Hey Georgette.

Can I get you something?
Coffee maybe?

That'd be fine. Better make it
strong.

Mind if I join ya?

Guess not.

Late night?

About to ask you the same thing,
Sheriff.

You enjoying your stay
in Goodland?

It's not bad.

Thank you, Kathy.

You know it's truly
fascinating work you do.

This town's not used to having
an artist

like yourself in its midst.

I wouldn't call myself
an artist.

Something on your mind Sheriff?

You know, I just got to thinking

and I can't help but wonder if

what you're doing is really all
that positive

for this community.

Why would you think that?

I'm just not sure

an outsider,

like yourself,

can really give a place
like this

an honest shake.

All I can do is try.

I guess you're right.

Fifteen minutes.

That's how long a break I get
from my patrol.

That's it. Can you believe that?

Crime doesn't sleep,
not even in Goodland?

Well...

it's no Detroit.

You wouldn't happen to have
the time, would ya?

Sorry. Dead.

You know, the rest of the town
hasn't caught on quite yet,

but I'm afraid it'll be too late
before they do.

Caught onto what?

Just the fact that you plan
to portray our little town as...

backwards.

That hasn't been my experience
at all Sheriff.

You sure you're not projecting?

What do you know about
Terrence Valor?

The uh... drifter who
turned up dead?

Yeah. Him.

Nothing, except for what I hear
around here.

Why? You implying something?

Look at it from my perspective.

It's a pretty big coincidence

that Valor winds up dead
around the same time you

happen to roll into town,
don't you think?

No, not at all.

Everyone around here's convinced

that he was just a drunk that
happened to have an unfortunate

run-in with some
heavy machinery.

Probably cause that's what
you've been telling them.

I'm beginning to think
there's more to it than that.

Like what?

I was hoping you might be

the one to enlighten me.

You accusing me of something,
Sheriff?

Not yet.

Good.

In that case I'll be on my way.

Get some sleep Sheriff.

Looks like you need it.

So, you do know it's the middle
of the night, right?

I mean, what could possibly...

It's okay Georgette.

You've been through a hell
of a lot the past couple days.

I didn't drink it Mike.

Not that I... didn't want to.

I told myself I'd just
have one drink.

I thought...

it'll help me sleep.

It'll help me let go of
this whole thing.

You know what stopped me?

No.

Smell it.

What?

Go on. Smell it.

Smells like syrup.

And when has
twelve dollar whiskey

ever smelled like syrup?

Dammit, Georgette. I don't know.

I don't drink this stuff.

It doesn't.

That's a very unique smell and

I'd know it anywhere.

It's antifreeze.

What?

I think Valor was poisoned.

Goddamn son of a bitch!

Um. Just give me a minute.

Empire. How can I help you?

Politicians. Should be shot.
All of them.

Sorry about that.

Good help's hard to come by
apparently.

What can I do ya for?

Just want to let you know

I'll be checking out tomorrow.
Early.

Alright.

Is that all?

I guess so.

Yeah.

Get to the location.

Guy and I'll be waiting.

I'll be there.

We need to get a sample to a lab

as soon as possible.

It may not show up
on the tox report.

- Sheriff?
- And we need to make sure

Reins doesn't leave town.

If he does,
we may have to get

the state police involved early.

Linking him to these phones
is still our best bet.

- Sheriff, phone.
- Dammit, Francis,

can you not see we're in
the middle of something?

It's the principal
of the school.

You're gonna want
to take this one.

Trust me.

Sheriff Gaines.

So, it's just like I said.

There are four cameras

and the vault is here.

The cameras

are here...

here...

here... and there.

So favor your right

and keep your head down.

There's no security really
to speak of,

most of the employees are women,

but there is a male
bank manager,

so be on the lookout
for a hero type.

He might think he's a shepherd
protecting his flock.

Other than that, it's just
like we discussed, but

adjusted for Valor's absence.

I prioritized the top two banks

with the most oil money
going through.

We're still hitting all three.

What?

You're going to take one.

That wasn't part of the plan.

You know the layouts
better than any of us.

Look, I'm just here to
recover intel and distract cops

long enough for you to do
your thing. I'm no stickup man.

The plan was

to hit all three banks at once,

and that's exactly
what we're gonna do.

And what if I say no?

You had your chance to walk,

and I warned you
it would be your last.

You're threatening me?

Are you kidding?

The entire town knows who I am.

That's why we wear masks.

Delivery.

Half a dozen roses.

No vase.

Ida...

what's going on? What are you
doing here?

I can't go back.

I don't know what
you're talking about,

but you need to leave right now.

I have to tell you something.

I don't have time for this Ida,
alright?

Whatever you think is important,

it's not. Trust me.

I have to get out of here.

Open up Reins.
We have a warrant.

Shit. Ida, what's going on?

I've been trying to tell you.

Oh my god!

What is happening?
I need you to look at me

and tell me what's going on
right now.

Either open up or
we'll open it for you.

I didn't do anything. I didn't.
I promise I didn't.

You have until
the count of three, Reins.

Ida!

One... one of the photos of me,

- One,
- I don't know how it happened.

It got into the school and...

- Two.
- They say they know you took it.

I said you didn't. I swear,
but they won't listen.

Get back. We're coming in!
Hands up!

You're under arrest.

Distribution of pornographic
material of a minor.

You have the right
to remain silent,

anything you say or do

will be used against you
in a court of law.

We know Valor was poisoned.

You have the right
to an attorney.

If you cannot afford
an attorney,

one will be provided for you.

You understand these rights?

Sheriff Gains.

Yes.

When?

I understand. I'll be there
as soon as I can.

Take him down to the station
start processing him.

I have to go. I'll be there
when I can.

Hey, don't you think you
ought to be here for this?

It's Hal.

so is this how it works for you,

Mr. Picture Man?

All those photographs
of the town,

just a front,

so you can manipulate

and take advantage
of little girls.

Is that what you do?

Is that how you get
your thrills?

Now that's all gonna change
for you real soon.

You know what they do
to boys like you in prison,

don't ya?

Don't cha?

You little chicken shit.

You can't even look me
in the eye, can ya?

I need you to listen to me
very carefully...

What the hell was...

change of plans.

We have to move.

Now.

Vaults close in fifteen minutes.

Get changed.

Here.

You'll have to take
the Deputy's car.

You know where to meet.

Gaines is still out there.

If you see her...

Don't hesitate.

10.98.

10.00.

Officer down.

Multiple gunmen.

Reins got away.

we need state backup as soon
as possible.

We have officers down and

multiple gunmen on the loose.

Reins, is that you?

Everybody get down,
this is a robbery.

Hurry up!

Dammit!

Gunman down.

I repeat, gunman down.

Capitol City Flowers.

Calling to confirm a delivery.

A delivery was...

Hello?

We've got a breach of protocol
on our hands.

One of our field agents.

How bad is it?

Undetermined.

Last confirmed contact
was two hours ago

from an unapproved line.

Is there any reason to believe
he's been compromised?

I believe so.

What were the terms?

Deep cover.

Any means necessary.

Last known location?

Goodland, Kansas.

Cut ties.

Sir?

Burn him.

Hurry the fuck up.

Where's the money?

Jesus Christ.

There's more here
than we thought.

What the fuck is your problem?

A gun was pulled in the bank.

That's how it goes.

You want to play cowboy
you might get shot.

Gains killed Kilmer.

- I know.
- How?

The victor's gun speaks last.

You know, when I was arrested
Gaines...

said Valor was poisoned.

Don't.

Hands up. Slow.

It was you, wasn't it?

You killed Valor.

Turn around.

Why?

He became a loose end.

Had to be tied up.

Simple as that.

A lose end?

You can't bring heat
before a job even starts.

And I'm sure a larger cut
had nothing to do with it.

I got a call...

from Valor's phone.

Sure it had nothing
to do with you though.

You can take care of yourself,

right?

I have a new plan.

You're taking me to El Charro.

are you out of your
fucking mind?

We're going to get in this car,

and we're gonna deliver
this money to him personally.

I couldn't get to El Charro
even if I wanted to.

But you know someone who could.

What's your end goal here?

How do I get to El Charro?

I will kill you!

You have no idea who I am...
