The search
for a missing woman resumes

in Tacoma today as local
police focused their efforts

on Point Defiance Park
and the surrounding area.

Marsha Webb from Port Angeles,
Washington was reported

missing close to a year ago
and was said to have last made

a phone call from Seattle
while traveling to Tacoma.

Alright motherfucker.

You got something
you want to say to me

before I crack your skull open?

I could ask you how
you like your eggs

but it's over easy with
a side of hash right?

Alex?

What's up big brother?

Oh my God.

Fuck, I almost...

You were gonna
wonder boy me with that thing?

What the hell
are you doing here?

Where else would I be?

I thought you
were still deployed.

I'm on leave brother.

Jesus Christ,
how did you get in?

You mean through your
crack security system?

Teach you how to do more than
point and shoot in the Army.

Oh God, you should have called.

Yeah I
wanted to surprise you.

Yeah well goddammit, it worked.

The eggs.

Oh shit, hold on.

So I was sick of doing
my leave in Germany.

I just felt like I needed
American dirt under my boots.

Goddamn man
everything's so green.

I been staring at nothing but

rocks and sand for fucking ever.

You know I would have
done something special

if I had known you
were coming back.

Nah man.

You know I don't like
fuss made over me.

What's up?

Nothing I just,

I haven't heard from
you in over a year.

I mean not a phone call,
not a message, nothing.

You stopped sending
emails brother.

You stopped responding.

So what I need like a
formal invite or some shit?

No it's just, unexpected.

I was gonna send you one
of those video messages

like I used to but,
I just got busy.

We gotta start this way men,
you making me feel like shit?

That's not what I meant.

Look, hey you're
welcome here anytime.

Cool.

It's just gonna be for
like a couple days.

I'm gonna take
care of some stuff

and I'm gonna blow off alright?

Alright.

Cool, I need a fucking beer.

House is dry.

Yeah right, no shit.

No shit.

What are you off the
sauce or something?

I quit drinking, yeah.

Did you find Jesus like dad did?

Okay how about a shower
and a set of sheets?

That I can do, come on.

Hi, it's Peter Allen.

I'm good, how are you?

Well that's very good to hear.

No I'm still very
interested in the property,

very interested it's just uh,

Well, I... I uh,

May not be able to get down
there as as soon as I would like to.

I still have some
obligations that are ongoing.

But I just wanted
to make sure that

our agreement is still in place.

Yes sir.

So uh,

How's it been? Over there?

It is what it is man.

Nothing I can do.

I'm fine man.

You gonna do another tour?

Maybe, I don't know.

You ever um,

Think about getting out?

And do what?

I don't know something,
something else.

Nah man,

I'm a soldier. It's what I do.

Fuck man I don't know.

I learned from that place is
just, you know enjoy the now.

Like me and you, this
steak, shit like that.

I need a fucking drink.

You seriously got no
hooch up in this bitch?

Like you just cold
quit for reals.

I think I made that clear.

You never could hold
your liquor, just like dad.

Finish your dinner.

Is that why you locked up in

this bitch with
that dog collar on?

What did you do you?

DUI?

Public intox?

You show your dick off to

a bunch of little
kids or some shit?

Come on, please stop.

Must have been good if
you got house arrest for it.

How long?

How long what?

How long you been on lock down?

About a year.

A fucking year?

You ain't left the
house, done nothing?

Alright are we done
with the interrogation?

That explains the
grocery delivery.

Yeah I caught that too bro.

Pervert.

Hey man.

Can you keep it down?

Alex.

- Hey.
- Hey.

What you doing?

Well, first things
first I'm gonna

fix some of the back fence
that's all busted up.

Well I didn't know it was.

Yeah, you got a
gap in it so the deer

are coming in and
eating all the roses.

Plus the gardens
all gone to hell.

And then I'm gonna cut
back some of this growth

because the next storm
that comes through

could do some serious
damage to the tree line.

You don't need to do all this.

Well somebody's got to do
it brother 'cause you ain't.

It's not necessary.

Figure I gotta pull
my weight somehow so.

I'll jump on this, and you go
back to work or do whatever.

Need some help?

Nah, I'm good.

Hey, I said it got it man go.

Okay.

Go.

Ooh ooh ooh hell yeah, finally.

Wake up drink, stand up drink.

How did you?

Mission redirect.

Caught the delivery guy,
give him hundred bucks.

Now we are fully supplied.

What's that?

Oh shit man this
is for reals huh?

Fuck man I didn't mean to like,

this isn't gonna bother
you or nothing right?

No it's cool, do
whatever you want.

Alright man, cool.

Done real well for
yourself brother.

This place looks
great man, real well.

Mom would have
loved it you know.

Remember she used to sing that
song to us about the ocean

and always talking
about the ocean...

Can we not talk about them?

Talk about who?

Mom and dad.

What's your problem man?

Nothing.

Something.

Look when I,

when I left home that was it.

There's no looking back.

Not when mom died, and not when

that piece of shit died either.

It's still our family.

Family?

Like it or not man,
it is what it is.

Well you can remember
them however you like.

Hey I didn't mean for
it to get all heavy.

That prick spent every
day of his life half drunk.

When he wasn't beating
the hell out of me he was

coming after you and there
was nothing I could do about.

And she, she just stood
by and let it happen.

You think I don't know that?

You gotta lighten up man.

There's a real weight on you.

I can feel man, feel
it in this place

and it ain't even about them.

Hey man you want me to toss
the booze I could toss it.

Hey hey hey.

something other than this or?

Would it matter to
you if I said yes or no?

Nothing.

I think it's sweet
you would ask.

Most guys don't care.

Most guys don't want to
know anything about me,

other than what they pay me for.

That's terrible.

I'm sorry.

No worries.

So are you from here?

You know,

you're different.

Different now?

something dumb like that.

It's okay you know.

acting like it's a fucking
middle school dance, let's go.

Hey Crystal come here, come
here, come dance with me.

Yeah, come dance with me.

Hey, do you like my brother?

Really?

See the thing is though,

Yeah but we, we gotta
help him not be shy.

Hey Peter come here.

Hey hey come here.

It's getting late.

Jesus Christ Peter

There you go.

Come lean in here real quick.

adults right, right.

You listening?

So as the host,

You,

Get to go first.

Unless,

unless Crystal's into a
little double trouble.

Whatever you guys want.

Oh did you hear that?

Hey you can't find that kind of

quality of service
anymore brother.

What do you say?

I need to go to bed.

No no no, no no no no.

Remember what I told you

Fucking Jesus Christ.

You know what, fuck him.

What's up?

Where's Crystal?

Who?

Your girlfriend.

I don't know man,
she left last night.

I was out of it.

So just like that?

You don't pay them to
stay, you pay them to leave.

Don't worry about it man,
she didn't steal nothing.

So this is what you're into?

What?

Hookers, coke?

Sometimes yeah.

I mean when do you care?

I don't.

I just wanted us to
have a little fun man.

What's your plan here?

Plan?

Yeah, your plan here.

I don't know stay a few
days, bum around like I said.

Then what?

I hadn't thought that far ahead.

Okay see, I have a routine
alright, things in place.

Yeah?

Yeah.

And right now I feel like
a stranger in my own home.

What the fuck's up your ass man?

The drinking okay, the pussy,

whatever it is you
got going on here.

I don't think this is
working for me alright.

So you're kicking me out.

That's not what I said.

Then what is it?

I'm just saying
that maybe you know

we need to think about a uh,

An exit strategy.

Exit?

Yeah.

Hey who the hells that?

I don't know.

Wait.

What?

I'm not here.

What the hell are
you talking about?

I'm just not here okay.

Jesus Christ.

Hello, my name is
Detective Barnes.

This is my partner
Detective Fripp.

We're with the
Sheriff's Department.

Are you Mr. Allen?

Yeah, Peter Allen.

Well sorry to bother
you today Mr. Allen

but we're just here on
some routine business.

Is everything okay?

We hope so, just trying
to drum up some leads.

Here you go.

This is the
girl from the news.

Yes Marsha Webb, she's
been missing about a year.

I don't know how I could help.

We're just canvassing
door to door,

trying to get the word out.

Yeah there's not a lot of
doors out here where you are.

It's pretty isolated actually.

Yes.

Nice and quiet.

Yeah,

I mean, not really no

Your wife around?

Excuse me?

Are you married?

No, no.

It's a lot of space
just for one man.

Yeah.

If you have or come
across any information

regarding Miss Webb the
number is right there.

Or you can call me here,
this is my personal line.

Great.

What the hell?

Jesus Christ.

Alex what the hell
are you doing?

Alex?

I'm cleaning up.

It's midnight.

Go to bed Peter.

I said go to bed.

No.

No.

Did you read the
paper this morning?

This company is way undervalued,
the stock is gonna triple.

They already have two
major biotech companies

interested in their
first prototype.

Yeah.

We'll get back to this on
Friday just trust me on this.

Look I gotta go.

Alex?

Is that you?

Alex?

So how are things
going in the yard?

Good.

How about you?

What about me?

Everything cool?

Yeah why wouldn't it be?

Right.

So how was your hike?

What?

In the woods, today.

I saw you, you
were hiking right?

I never went in the woods.

What's with all
the questions bro?

I'm just trying to
make conversation.

Why don't we talk
about your shit then?

Like what?

Like what do you do
all day with yourself?

I work.

You call it work?

What the hell's
that supposed to mean?

It means you trade on
other peoples shit right?

It's bit more
complicated than that.

Yeah sure, there's
companies, corporations.

But somewhere in there are
people who really work,

really grind it out to put food

on their table and
dress their kids.

And you don't think
what I do is a job.

I call it more of a racket.

So you think you know what I do.

I think I got a
pretty good idea.

I see you, you sit behind
the screen, no face no name.

And you bet.

And you gamble on which way

the world's gonna spin, and
burn, and spin and burn.

Jesus Christ man,
guys like you...

Guys like me?

Guys like you who don't
know fuck all about work,

or anything real.

I think I get it.

Guys like you, you got
it all figured out right?

No, we ain't got
it all figured out.

We just is.

Oh that's deep,
that's really deep.

I'm glad you found your purpose.

Cops where here checking on you?

No.

What's up with that bitch
bracelet on your ankle bro?

Just don't want to come clean.

That's funny

because I've been thinking a
lot about something recently.

Good for you.

About Redemption,

There's a concept for you right?

To be saved from the evils
that we have committed.

I know what it means.

I don't think you do.

I mean you go through
all the motions

pretending to be sorry.

What the fuck
are we talking about?

Sin!

Redemption.

But, you have to truly understand
the nature of your crimes

in order to atone for them,
see dad taught me that one.

Did he now?

He'd have his moments.

He used to call it
sins of the father.

It was evil passed
down from generations,

at least that's what he used to

call it when he
was laying into me.

You ever hear that one?

Maybe.

You got a lot of
him in you, you know?

That's why you don't
wanna drink right?

But you don't want to
look in the mirror either.

That's one of the mom things,
she could never face facts.

You sound fucking
nuts you know that?

I just been through the crucible
out there in the desert.

You feel me?

This is where you
start telling me

some of your war
stories or what?

No, no no no no

No see, the desert?

that's about purification.

Out there in the
fire and the dust,

it shows you what you
really are good, bad.

It's all the same really.

Just a shame you
couldn't see it.

Oh it's a real shame.

You're not gonna find
purity in this big ass house,

and that bitch ass job.

Okay you know what?

Fuck you.

Go ahead and walk away
that's your bag right brother?

I don't have time to deal with

whatever bullshit trip
you're on, you got it.

What'd you do Peter?

What'd you do?

Nothing.

Can we leave it at nothing?

Nothing?

Sounds like you're already
knee deep in the big D right?

That river in Egypt, de Nile.

Go fuck yourself.

It's a powerful thing.

It's a dangerous thing.

D-Ni-Le.

Hey brother, what's
going on man?

What time is it there?

I can even keep track of the
time difference anymore man.

Doesn't matter, but yeah man live
and direct from Afghanistan.

What the fuck?

Made it, yeah man this
place is fucking crazy.

It's hot as hell
during the day man

but it's really really
really cold at night man.

You freeze your balls off.

It's like being on the
moon or some other planet

or some shit but
you know, whatever.

Here with some really good guys,

guys that have got your
back and shit, I know that.

Haven't seen anything yet but
I know I will, I know I will.

And you know I'm not scared,
you know, not at all.

Because I'm here for
a purpose you know.

To defend our honor,
defend our freedom,

just kick it right back
to these motherfuckers.

I just wanna make
you proud so you can

look at me and say hey that's my

little brother man
he's a good soldier.

But yeah so.

That's about it, I guess I'll
check up on you later alright.

Love you man, hope all is well.

Late last night
authorities discovering

an abandoned vehicle
off a back road

in the Point Defiance area
which they now believe

to be linked to missing
person Marsha Webb.

Police are asking
anyone with information

regarding the vehicle or Marsha
Webb to please step forward.

This marks the first
real lead in the case

of the missing woman
in the last 12 months.

So what am I looking at?

It's her, Crystal
she's Marsha Webb,

the same girl who was
here two nights ago.

So what do you get
a prize or something?

She's been missing
for over a year,

that's why the cops came by.

They knew she was here?

No.

I don't know I mean they,

they said that they were just
spreading the word around.

But they found her car Alex.

But no Crystal
or Marsha whoever?

You said she left
later that night.

Yeah so what?

Well you guys
were drinking maybe,

maybe she ran her
car off the road.

Well maybe she did but
what's that got to do with us?

Don't you think we should

go to them with
that information?

To the cops?

- Yes.
- No.

Wait we don't even know
if Crystal's that girl.

It's her Alex.

Okay so what if it is?

So some little slut runs
off to play big city hooker.

That shit happens all the time.

Hey, what if she don't
want to be found?

You ever think of that?

That's bullshit and you know it.

So you're just gonna tell
the cops hey me and my brother

ordered this whore
off the internet.

She sold us a bunch of coke
and then we fucked her silly.

You did.

I did what.

You called her, you
did those things, not me.

So you just give him the intel

and they're like
cool and move on?

You don't have to be involved.

No no, no no no I am involved.

And you're not
going to the cops.

I just think that
we need to call them.

I said no fucking way!

What the fuck is wrong with you?

You can't tell them I was here.

Why?

Because I'm in trouble Peter.

What are you AWOL or something?

Jesus Christ what happened?

A series of unfortunate events,

cluster fucks, bad decisions,
what the fuck does it matter?

The whole point is I
can't go back there ever.

Alex.

Peter,

I just need some
place to get right.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

But this shit here,

this needs to go the fuck away.

Mr. Allen,

Got a few minutes?

Sure.

Was it a good party?

Excuse me?

Oh, no I'm just cleaning up.

What can I do for you?

This is a bad time.

It's fine.

The reason we're
back, the car they found

out here in a ditch,
you hear about it?

On the news yes?

It belonged to Marsha Webb.

The missing girl from
the flyer you gave me.

That's right.

Wondering if you know
anything about that.

I'm sorry?

Car found less than three
miles from your house.

The only house out
here on the point.

Strange coincidence right?

I guess.

Well maybe you could
have seen something.

Like seen her car?

Did you?

Mr. Allen?

No, no.

Well we think
that somebody drove

her car out here and dumped it.

Really?

Car was cleaned out too.

And I mean wipe down.

You know she was
a party girl right?

A what?

We have reason to believe
that Miss Webb was an escort,

using online dating
services to solicit clients.

Yeah you know a pro,
you know what that means.

Yes I know what that means.

Yeah you do don't you?

When was the last time you
left the house Mr. Allen?

A year ago.

That's a long time.

You can get a bit lonely right?

I don't know what
you're implying.

Some guys do a stretch at
home, they need the company.

Not me.

It can make them
a little crazy too.

You know what I'm saying?

No, I don't do those things.

Let's just say you did,
we're not judging you.

You got a car?

What?

A car?

Yeah in the garage.

But you don't take it out?

No, I mean I can't.

That's a a fresh oil stain.

Looks like someone parked
here very recently.

I get groceries delivered,
I mean maybe the truck.

Sure.

Groceries.

Look I didn't take Marsha Webb's

car anywhere if that's
what you're asking me.

Yeah it'd be kind of
hard with that thing on.

So is anyone else here
with you at the house?

I said I was alone.

Alright, you mind telling
me what that's for then?

Yes I do mind.

Alright.

Well can you answer this
question for me then?

Was Marsha Webb
here at your house

in the last couple of days?

No, no she wasn't.

Alright.

Fair enough.

Oh,

One thing the news didn't say, Mr. Allen,

person who cleaned up
that car was trying

to wipe down blood,
they didn't get it all.

Makes you wonder what
really happened to her.

Hey you did good out there man.

They bought what
you were selling,

I don't think they're
gonna bother you anymore.

About what exactly?

We should talk, sit down.

Okay.

Talk about what?

Mexico.

What?

I think it's a good
plan man for both of us.

Are you serious?

Aren't you?

I mean what the fuck's
keeping either one of us here?

Down there man they
got beaches man,

solid brown pussy,
the good shit.

This isn't a joke Alex.

It's not a joke man,
it's a good fucking plan.

I don't need a plan.

Is that why you're moving
all your money around?

What do you know about my money?

I'm just saying.

No listen to me, are
you going through my shit?

What are you doing?

Oh my fucking God.

Stop being a whiny
little bitch alright.

You gonna watch the world
fucking pass you by on a screen?

Christ, Alex I'm not
talking about Mexico.

I need a reboot big
brother, so do you.

You tell me that
she's okay Alex.

Tell you who's okay?

They found blood in
her car in Crystal,

in Marsha Webb's car.

Oh you're still fucking
talking about that man.

I told you the bitch left.

She was three sheets
to the fucking wind.

She probably fell into a ditch,
crawled back to her pimp.

Who the fuck cares?

It's a good plan.

We could both use a fresh start.

Hey man,

I'm just checking in.

I was out of pocket there for
a little bit but I'm back now.

Or at least I think I'm back.

Hey you know what I mean?

I guess you wouldn't.

There's a lot they don't
tell you about this place.

You know?

Stuff you can encounter,

that you're gonna see.

Things you're gonna have to do.

See the other guys
around here, you see them

and you know they're taking
their turn out there.

They don't come back the same.

You know you can see
it in their eyes.

They're different.

It's like you become a
different person after,

after you do those things
that you had to do.

And you know you're gonna
keep seeing those things.

You know when you close
your eyes at night right.

So you try and become that
hard thing, and it works,

you know at least for a while.

So you think you don't
feel it anymore, but

Then there's
the old you right.

And he's trying to be cool
with it man but he's not.

So now you gotta accept that
there's two of you in there,

the person you were
before you had to kill,

and the thing you are now.

Before.

After.

Before and after.

Before.

After.

Hello?

Anyone here?

What you got there?

Alex, what is this?

What's what?

This.

Oh, yeah man I get these fucking

nosebleeds from the desert,
that shit fucks you...

This isn't a fucking
nosebleed Alex.

Whatever you say.

Did you put these out here?

I don't want to fuck
up the laundry dude.

Is this her blood?

Who?

You know goddamn well who.

Is this hers?

What do you want to hear man?

She was on the rag or some shit?

I've had enough of this shit.

Where the fuck do you
think you're going brother?

What are you doing?

I'm done man, done.

Done with what?

Look if you don't want to
level with me that's fine.

You can tell it to the cops.

Tell them what?

The fucking games
you're playing with me.

What have you been
doing in the woods? Huh?

Okay we can talk to the cops.

I told you very
clearly no fucking cops.

What did you do to her Alex?

You crazy fuck.

You don't want to go down
this road with me Peter.

Fuck you.

It only takes an
inch to let the jugular

go full tilt, and bleed
you all the way out.

The way your hearts pumping
now, I'd say three minutes.

I've seen it happen.

But I'd rather you consider all

the variables of the situation.

You might not want
to go blabbing

to the cops, because guess what?

I'm not the one who fucked
Crystal What's Her Name, you did.

I never touched her.

Well I don't remember too
much about the night but

I do believe that
love was in the air.

You tore that shit
up, good for you.

I went to bed.

That's right you had
booze, you blacked the fuck out.

Well at least it sounded
like you had fun.

Fuck you.

I never drink.

Fine, don't believe me.

But Big Brother's always
watching Peter, always.

Hey, dinner's on
me tonight okay.

I'm gonna go take a shower,
wash your fucking hands.

You ain't hungry?

No.

No?

I don't cook it
right or something?

I'm just not hungry.

What's up with you?

You look like you seen
a ghost, some shit.

See something you didn't like?

Told you.

They eye in the sky don't lie.

You know what I found, the
other day about the barn?

You kept dad's piece.

Sneaky bastard.

See when you took off, oh
I'm sorry, ran the fuck away.

I always wondered if
you took dad's piece.

It was probably
good thing because

he'd have shot my ass that day.

You kept it oiled, and loaded.

Funny ain't it?

You're all Mr.
Security up in here but

you keep the gun all
the way out there.

Some confusing shit man.

See I know why you
kept it out there.

You know why?

'Cause you know
how easy it'd be to

put it in your mouth,
pull the trigger.

I can see it in your eyes.

It's right there.

Am I right?

What the fuck do
you want from me?

Some fucking honesty man.

You think you can do that?

You know how much you owe me? Huh?

Like have you
really quantified it

in that being fucking
counting brain of yours?

All those years ago,

You took off, left me behind to
take all that weight huh?

I never meant to...

Stop.

Know thyself.

Isn't that what they say
in the AA or some shit?

Go on.

Make it a lot easier.

You know the old
man he had another

piece shortly after you left.

And this time he had a purpose.

You can take him apart
all day long if you want

but that fucker knew
when to bow out.

You gotta face it.

He dove into that
bottle one night and he

found himself some
clarity, real clarity.

And he put a bullet in his head.

You can't put a price on that
kind of self realization.

We ain't there yet are we?

Hello.

Who?

Senor Martin, hey

No no no, no I'm awake.

No it's no bother.

Of course I'm still
interested in the property.

I sent the check last week.

What wait, wait wait wait wait.

What do you mean that
the check's no good?

The bank said what
about the money?

That's not possible.

There's over a half million
dollars in that account.

Look no no no, I understand
that you're not happy

but please just
give me a few hours

and I promise you that
I can fix this okay.

Thank you, thank you.

I'll get back to you soon, okay.

Shit. Shit!

This is impossible.

I want to know
where my money is.

No no, there's no way.

What do you mean a
series of transfers?

I never, what do you
mean into a trust fund?

An irreversible trust fund.

No look I may have
transferred accounts but I,

no, no no no no
you listen to me.

I never set up any
trust and I sure as hell

didn't take my entire fortune,

then who's the
fucking trust for?

Huh?

Hello, hello?

Alex.

Alex.

Whoa whoa!

Hold on, hold on.

No don't, here, please
don't, please don't.

You alright Mr. Allen?

What the hell are
you doing in my house?

Front door was open.

I just want to make
sure you're okay.

Jesus Christ.

What are you doing
with the piece?

I thought I heard something.

You're a neat freak huh?

What.

Like you're always
taking out the trash.

Oh.

Yeah.

Can we sit down?

Sure.

Do you know what detectives do.

Mr. Allen, apart
from the obvious?

In order to solve crimes
we sometimes build

what we call a narrative,
story based on past events.

Helps us get a
picture of things.

Reasoning the
motive, you follow.

Sure.

So what we've got is a
story of two brothers,

Peter and Alex Allen, and
for the sake of simplicity

our story starts when the
boys are teenagers, 15 and 13.

That's when their mother is
killed in a car accident.

Right after this
tragic loss the boys

steal some of their dad's
booze, they go on a real bender.

And one night they party
with a young girl that they

know from school, and
on that night that girl

is beaten black and blue
and left in the city park.

She crawls her
way to a payphone.

When the cops come by to
question the boys, Peter's gone.

Ran away from home, according
to his father and Alex.

Alex cops to the
crime, no contest.

Ends up doing a two
year stretch in Juvie,

for assaulting a minor.

That got me wondering.

Wondering what?

What happens to all that
history between brothers.

I mean those are
some real ghosts.

They don't just
fade away do they?

You got something to say?

My brother is gone,
and I don't know

where the hell he is if
that's what you're asking.

No Peter, that's not
what this is about.

See the part of the
story that I left out

Is that Alex may have taken
the fall for beating that young girl.

But she told the cops it
was you who attacked her.

You know what else
doesn't fade away?

Patterns of behavior, things
that repeat themselves.

Say how the death
of a loved one could

push someone to drink
until they black out,

maybe take it out
on some poor girl.

Well that could happen again

More Recently

We're not talking about

your debt to your brother Peter.

We're talking about
you and Marsha Webb.

Why don't you
tell us what happened?

About a year ago,

It might make some
sense of all this.

And what sets you off.

Listen I don't know what
the hell you want from me.

You come to my house
twice last week.

This is starting to
feel like harassment.

Wait a minute, last week?

Mr. Allen we came to
your house a year ago,

asked you about Marsha Webb,

Remember?

Alright

Just cut to it

Peter we know about...

I think, I think my
lawyer should be here.

And I want you out of my house.

Alright.

Alright you can
play it that way.

Speaking of lawyers you must
have one hell of a good one.

'Cause there is no record
of your house arrest ever.

It's as if it never happened.

Denial brother.

Denial is the real
currency of the world.

We see fucked up shit
every day don't we?

Poverty,

disease,

war,

death of this fucking planet.

And what do we say?

No,

that's on TV someplace else.

We can't stand to face the
truth so we make up another one.

It's in the fucking code.

Denial is how we
live with ourselves

after we've seen what
we can really do.

Denial that you were born
rotten evil motherfucker,

and that there's not a
good part about you left,

or that maybe there never was.

And Hell's a prison brother.

Once you're there,

you're there for life.

Burn baby.

Burn.

Hello.

Yes this is Peter Allen.

Yes I called about the
trust fund earlier yes.

Whose name is the trust fund in?

Marsha Webb's family,
that's not possible.

Alex.

Alex what are you doing?

Sins of the father,
remember that?

Sins of the father.

Goddammit Alex this isn't funny.

And you thought you could
buy your way out of this one?

Listen Alex, they're gonna
come for me, my bracelet.

Thought you could
burn it all away?

See that's too easy.

Trick is,

You gotta dig deep, cause a body

has gotta a way
of coming back up.

And this thing,

it's a fucking joke.

Alex please.

Shut up, shut up.

Who'd you think the hole
is for anyway brother?

You've been digging his
hole your whole life,

and you just haven't had
the balls to lie in it yet.

Me,

I know who I am, where I am.

I'm in the desert
somewhere buried

under rocks moved
by the great flood.

Hell, I've been here since
the time of Moses you feel me?

Over here,

here's a good place to die.

Show me!

All that fucking rage!

All that fucking weakness!

Oh fuck.

What did you see brother,
huh? What did you see?

That's what you are.

Get the fuck out of here.

Alex, I told you to get
the fuck out of here.

Alex!

Dear Mr. Allen, I have
been asked to inform you

that your brother
Sergeant Alex H. Allen

was killed when his
unit was ambushed.

I extend you and your family
my deepest sympathies.

The
person who cleaned up

that car was trying
to wipe down blood.

A body has gotta
a way of coming back up.

Makes you wonder what
really happened to her.

I'm not
the one who fucked.

Crystal What's
Her Name, you did.

And what we've got is
a story of two brothers.

Sins of the father.

Yeah it's
the girl from the news.

She's been
missing about a year.

Denial that you were born

a rotten evil motherfucker.

My brother's gone.

Denials the real
currency of the world.

You can't stand
to face the truth

so you make up another one.

No, I don't do those things.

It's like you become
a different person after.

Those are
some real ghosts.

The person you
were before you had to kill,

and the thing you are now.

Here we are brother.

You left me.

Makes us even.

I never meant to hurt her.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

But you can't run
away from this one.

Not this time.

After they told me that you,

I didn't want to feel any more.

I started drinking.

Then she came to the house.

The time doesn't make sense.

How long has it been like this?

Since the day you chose
to do it this way brother.

Denial remember?

It's the currency of the world.

I don't know if time
matters much anymore,

not where you're at,

not where I'm at either.

Take me with you.

I can't brother.

I'm sorry.

What happens to me now?
