[Metal voice] I
done told you once.

A 100 times.

Every man has got a price.

[Priest] Not every
man they don't.

[Metal voice] Hah,
you want to know mine?

Hell no.

[Metal voice] Well it
is a hell of a lot cheaper

than it should be I
can tell you that.

Hah, no one to
blame but yourself.



[Metal voice] I
ain't making excuses.

You know, if ifs
and buts were candy

and nuts we'd all have a
merry Christmas, right?

And if I hand it over,
I'd probably wouldn't

change nothing, truth be known.

See a man can want bad.

You ever hear the
one about the grave?

The grave?

Yeah, about that old
grave up in Hoke county.

[snickers] No, never
heard of that one.

[Metal voice] Hell man,
that's the first one they tell.

It's guaranteed to
chill your shit.

I don't care if you're
John D. Rockefeller

or Jed fucking Clampett,
it ain't never enough.



Now I don't know
about them big cities

but down here, were
nobody got nothing,

you get your ass whooped
over a fistful of dirt.

Now this here is the
story of a bunch of folks.

Starts off with two youngins,
no-count upbringing.

One of 'ems name was King and
the other they called Tyn.

Hmm.

[Metal voice] And these
boys, they had ripped off some

old goat and caught him
joyriding in his fancy Cadillac.

A buddy of theirs
squeaked on 'em

and before you knew
it, they was busted

and sitting in the hot
seat in front of the judge.

Damn if both of them
didn't get maxed out,

20 years a piece.

Which they would've
done if they hadn't

been approached one morning
with a business proposition.

-Wex--
-This is the real
deal, you know.

I'm listening,
go on and say it.

Alright, I can give you a tip

on the crime of the century.

Crime of the century?

[Wex] That's right bitch,
crime of the century.

What's that, bumping
off Quick E Stops?

Look, you want
to hear or not man,

I mean, you know, fuck no.

Yeah well I do.

Alright, you know that
old bastard Matheson Hoke?

What about him?

That old coot buried
himself with the key

to the family jewels
man, all of it,

took it all with him.

He buried it?

Honest to God
Almighty man, millions,

billions, maybe more
man, there ain't no way

of tellin' for certain man.

Shit.

Yeah I mean this is the
chance of a goddamn lifetime,

it's a fucking lottery in
the goddamn ground, you know.

Matheson didn't have no
heirs, didn't leave a will,

man and to this day nobody knows

what he did with
all that stash man.

Except you right?

Except me man.

[King] Alright Wex
what's the catch?

Don't cost all I want done
is to take care of Limonjillo.

Goddamn rump ranger.

I'm telling you man the guy is
on my ass all day, every day.

He's fucking everywhere man.

I piss, he's in the fucking
yard right next to me man.

Sounds to me like the
boy has got a crush on you.

Yeah sounds like
puppy love to me.

Shit I don't care
what it is man,

I can't take it much more man.

I don't get no sleep!

I ain't telling you
what I dream about,

you know what I'm saying?

Hey Wex, you like apples?

What's that got
to do with anything?

Well maybe old Limonjillo
will come over tonight

and fuck you up the ass.
How do you like them apples?

Ah shit man, that
ain't funny man.

You know I hate that shit.

Fucking assholes, dicks.

Cool up, cool up, cool
up, Cole's watching.

[Wex] No man fuck
that silly little bitch,

now look, this tip is
cash money man, I mean,

if you don't want it I got
others to deal you know.

I mean I'll take my
business elsewhere man.

So where is it?

Big shit we got a deal.

[shouting] Hey you ought
to get back to work boy!

[Prisoner] Fuck that man.

So how much you
say is in that vault?

Buttloads man, take your
wildest and multiply it by 10.

Crime of the century, huh?

You're the dumbass
of the century.

[Metal voice] Now a
load of folks might cast

a cold eye on wild ass
stories of buried treasure.

But King wasn't one of them.

It's easy to get bit
by the gold bug when

the only distraction you got
is counting ceiling tiles.

And King, he got
swallowed whole.

[background shouting]

[Tyn] Mmm,
gullible, shit ought

to be stamped on your forehead.

Don't cost nothing to
talk about it, do it.

Wait, wait, wait,
hold on a minute.

I remember that one,
yeah, it's usually what

you say about 30
minutes before I end up

flat on my ass with a
blue light in my face,

legs spread, licking
pavement, right?

What are you going to live
on when you get out huh?

Food stamps?

Cool down dick boy.

Step at a time.

[Officer] [shouting] Hey
wipe-ass this ain't no disco,

get back to work!

Yeah well how you ever
got laid is a mystery to me.

Not a mystery, right,
it's why I listen

to your shit in the first place.

And I'll be giving your
ass the walking papers.

Well let me tell
you something boy.

We're going to make it.

We got it all worked out, I even

took care of old Limonjillo.

What the fuck kind
of name is that anyway?

Boy's mama love jelly.

Got a sister named Oranjillo.

- And you got him to back down?
- [King] Uh-huh.

Told him old Wex had dick rot.

[snickering]

How did he take it?

Cried like a baby.

So what do you say?

Well...

I'll hold off on
them walking papers.

Yeah!

Just don't go get to
shooting off about that grave.

♪ [country music]

[Metal voice] Now you might as

well tell a dog not to bark.

See King is young, full
of piss and vinegar.

So of course he ran his mouth,
bragging to his friends.

...stash in the
grave somewhere.

[Metal voice] But he
kept prepping to bust out.

'Cause him and Tyn both
knew there ain't nothing

you can't get in the
joint, long as you

got the patience and the cash.

[cell door slamming]

[flushing]

[flushing]

Come on now, come on little
baby, come here baby.
[cell door closes]

[flushing]

Oh yeah.

[Metal voice] So
he took out a little

insurance policy
for the trip ahead.

Thank you.

[Metal voice] And next
he'd done the obvious thing.

Like I told you, every
man has got a price.

Only question is,
in what currency?

♪ [ominous music]

Come on.

Hmmm.

Get the scripts?

Yeah.

But uh, these here you
don't get 'till after.

There might not be an after.

Oh there's going to be
an after, a happily ever.

Well when you hit that
yard, you're on your own.

Guards will be shooting to kill.

Yeah, just as
long as you ain't.

I ain't decide yet.

Well I know
they're 10 for one.

But I will appreciate
you holding off.

Well...

Hold your hand out.

Why?

You want out or not?

Son of a bitch, what
the hell you doing?

What the hell is this for?

Rabbit's foot, it's for luck.

[breathes heavy]

[breathing heavy]
Come on!

[heavy breath from running]

[King] Been a long time since

I've been out in
the open like this.

[Tyn] What are
you talking about,

we work these fields everyday.

[King] What? Now it ain't
the same though is it?

[Tyn] No, you're
right, bigger.

[King] You're damn right it is.

Hell I wonder what old
Travis is going to think.

[Tyn] I couldn't give a rats.

[King] Ain't going to
like it, us out, is he?

[Tyn] Would you?

Knowing what he done.

Probably thinks we're
going to lynch his ass.

They say no one ever
escaped from Rutledge before.

-[King] Yeah is
that what they say?
-[Tyn] Yeah.

[Metal voice]
Now them boys knew,

that when things
got going too good,

the smart money
was on the blowup.

Tyn in particular
was tighter than

a hawk's ass in a nosedive.

Fortunately King still
had an ace in the hole.

[gunshots and ♪ country music ]

[Tyn shouting] Got
two coming our way dammit.

[Cop shouting]
There's no way to run boy!

[Tyn] Look if I go down
it's going to be standing up.

You better stop running!

Because I'm going to
beat the living shit

out of you for dragging
my ass out here.

[sarcastic whining] Hey
look man we can do it man,

I'm the fucking King
right, I'm the King...

I'll drop them.

Where the hell did
you get that? [gunshot]

Shit give me that thing.

[gunshot and glass shattering]
-Aah!

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[Metal voice] So
King's little surprise

got them out of a jam
and into the swamp.

Even a blind hog can find
an acorn every now and then.

You ever run?

Thought about running?

Ain't nobody not
thought about it.

[Priest] No I suppose not.

Problem with running
is, you don't ever stop.

Once you get up in
the ears of it,

you realize you don't
have anywhere to run to.

[King] Which way you
think we ought to head?

[Tyn] South, Mexico.

[King] Mexico, ain't no
one go to Mexico no more.

[Tyn] What they close
Mexico or something?

[King] Atlanta maybe?

[Tyn] Count of
two seconds there.

[King] Well what the hell
are we going to do in Mexico?

[Tyn] What they
always do in Mexico.

[King] Drink beer and tequila.

[Tyn] Yup.

[King] Speak any Spanish?

[Tyn] Not a word.

[King] Well I
guess we could learn.

[Tyn] Yep, learned
English, damned if we didn't.

[King] Man, I mean shit.

[Tyn] What?

[King] Goddamn jailbreak.

[Tyn] It was pretty
good wasn't it?

You son of a bitch.

What?

How the hell did you get that?

Don't you worry about it.

Well give me a bite.

What you didn't bring
your own vittles?

Okay, okay.

Here you go.

You greedy bastard.

There you go.

♪ [country music]

[King] So what are you
going to do with yours?

You know what?

We ain't even out the swamp yet.

You know you ought to
spend some time thinking

about that instead of
spending money you ain't got.

What in the hell
crawled up your butt?

Not a goddamn thing.

I think you'd be a
little more pleasant

since you got your ass rescued.

All I'm saying
peckerhead, is that I ain't

going go around blowing sunshine

when I got two days
swamp in every direction.

Plus being wanted.

So don't be getting
satisfied on me.

Because life will drop a rock on

your head when
you ain't looking.

Guaranteed.

[snickers]

You want to know what
I'd do with mine?

Car, piece of land maybe.

Piece of land?

[Tyn] You heard me.

What about a piece of ass?

Now you know, I ain't never
been a shit talker like you.

[King] A shit talker?

- [Tyn] Uh-uh.
- What just because I
appreciate the finer

- things, the romance life?
- King, shut up.

[laughing]

[King] Come on!

[King] You want to hear
something funny?

[Tyn] Mhmm.

It's about Jordan.

Please, girl is about as
funny as a cavity search.

You know her and I, we
used to go at it some.

Damned if every time we done it,

she didn't hoist her legs
up over my shoulders.

Her feet would be about
six or seven inches

from my face every
time we had done it.

And I would just turn
my head a little bit

and her toes would be
staring me right in the face.

And I could always tell
when I hit her sweet spot,

'cause her toes would
kind of crinkle up

and double over one
another and shit, you know,

like, like, she just
couldn't stand it?

You're obsessing
a girl's toes.

[snickers] You
believe that one?

Why don't you just
stick your little dick

in a fire and call it even huh?

[laughs]

One of these days, you're
going to figure it out that

a good woman, she
ain't easy to find.

And when you find
'em, you keep 'em.

You know what my idea
of a good woman is?

[King] What?

Be about three feet tall,

toothless with a
six inch tongue.

Flat head to put beer on.

Yeah I can see why
that might draw you in.

Oh Tyn...

I've seen her.

Hell we must've
been away a long time

because that sure
do look good to me.

[Tyn] Damn straight.

They got all the
fucking women's clothes.

No I see some unisex.

Come on.

Hey King, check it out.
[laughing]

Lord have mercy.

Hey, you remember
Steph Dean Maybank?

Oh yeah she was
a lot of woman.

She was kind of sweet
on you, wasn't she?

I never understood that.

Woman like her.

Well she was rode
hard and put up wet.

No wonder she liked you.
[gun clicking]

-Tyn!
-[gunshot, Tyn gasps]

[sheet tearing]
Oh.

[Tyn screams and murmurs]

[Tyn] Fuck I've been shot!

[shouting] Help, aah!

[Tyn moans in background]

Die shithead, aah!

[Tyn murmurs]

You are one stupid
motherfucker man.

You should've had
your balls blown off.

Yeah well thinking never
was my strong suit, was it?

[groans]

Is it bad?

-Don't freak out on me man,
that shit makes me laugh.
-I ain't freaking out.

-It hurts to laugh man.
-Alright man I ain't
going to make you laugh.

How does it look?

Looks like you've been shot.

Fuck man, don't
make it with me man!

Come on, just don't be a butt
hole, it's going to be fine.

[Metal voice] Now when
Tyn woke up that morning,

there's no way he could've
figured he'd be out

three pints of blood by lunch.

Sure he might have
had a premonition,

dreamed himself
naked and singing the

Star Spangled Banner at
the Elk's Lodge fish fry.

I doubt it, like most
of these in this world,

both good and bad,
he came from

nowhere and went
back the same way.

♪ ["Little White Church"
by Little Big Town] ♪

[Driver] So I picked
her damn yap dog up

off of floor, I
figured she wouldn't shoot

me if I was holding
her shih tzu.

But the goddamn dog can
tell I'm scared to shit,

because I mean this
girl was certifiable.

And I knew it wouldn't take much
for her to squeeze one off.

So I said: "Marlene,
ain't no sense in this!".

And she says: "You put
down my Licky!", she says.

I said: "I'll put
down your Licky

if you put down
that goddamn gun.".

Standoff.

But the dog is going
crazy, yapping,

tinkling all down my leg.

And the phone rings.

Ring, ring, and the dog
starts barking louder.

Yip-pip-pip-pip-pip.

So the bitch shoots the phone.

Across the room hits the thing
like dead center on the five.

So I take the dog and I hold him

over my crotch,
which was a mistake.

I think I got the
damn thing aroused.

So now I'm getting
nervous, so I say:

"Alright Marlene,
somebody is going to get

hurt here, I'm walking, you'll
thank me for this later!".

So I got to put the dog
down real nice, you know,

and Licky starts to hump my leg.

I ain't kidding man,
the dog is going nuts.

Jesus.

[Driver] So there I
am, heading for the door,

this thing flapping off my
trousers, you know I'm kind of

high-stepping it because I
figure that's the only way

it will let it go, you know.

Well about three
steps from my door,

my foot comes down
right on Licky's head.

Cracked his skull like
a damn pecan.

- Fuck me.
- And BANG that's
when she shoots me.

Hit me in the hip,
shattered the goddamn bone.

I got a plate in there
the size of your head.

I can't pass a metal
detector for shit.

So don't let getting
shot get you down kid.

You'll be alright.

At least you didn't kill no dog.

Yeah, yeah I'm back here
counting my blessings.

Ain't that a funny
thing, everybody

thinks they got it the hardest.

I ain't said that.

You didn't have to, it's
written all over your damn face.

Mm hmm. You boys got to play the
hand that was dealt to you.

Now those cops might
get you, they might not.

You just got to
resist that temptation

to get back on the wrong side.

Now I didn't learn that
until it was too late

but you all got plenty of time.

♪ [music plays out]

[King] You alright?

Alright you boys take my car.

You got to be kidding me?

Go ahead you need
it more than I do.

The insurance will
pay out so don't think

I'm doing you no big
favor or nothing.

I'll wait a couple of days
before I report it to give
you boys some lead time.

Well I don't know
what in the hell to say.

Ain't nothing to say, just,

help a fugitive if you ever
get the chance, alright?

We uh, we ain't never
going to forget this.

Alright.

Son of Licky.

Cass, you better get
your ass in this house,

them fish sticks are
going to be cold as ice.

Hang on Marlene,
I'll be there directly.

Something about a woman
who shoots to kill,

I can't just seem to quit her.

You all drive careful.

[knocks] Get on.

[Metal voice] Now you
might wonder where King

could take an escaped con
for medical attention.

Well, truth is,
they didn't have any

doctors in their
personal acquaintance.

They didn't know
anyone who could

tend to a living,
breathing person.

They did know someone however,
who could tend to a dead one.

fucking hanging out the doors,

brought my 12 gauge, you
know, and we were just
looking for movement.

Took us right over the trees,
like 200 feet up tops man.

So we come over this
clearing and I see

a fucking bunch of
whitetails, you know,

about six or seven
three-point bucks.

You know what I thought,
I had fucking died and
gone to heaven man.

Am I telling a

Fucking terrorist.
Listen.

So I fucking dive on

Looking at Boo I scoot
over and let him, give
him the 12 gauge

and I'm like, okay man I'll
give him a shot right?

ground for like a wounded deer

or something like
that and I notice

shot out the tire,

I didn't shoot out the tire.

roll out the welcome
mat for folks

like us now do they Travis?

Well King y'all is wanted.

And I can't be
violating probation

to be harboring no fugitives.

Let me tell you
something, my boy here,

he done time for
you and so did I.

Look King I got
legit business here,

this ain't no rest stop
for petty criminals.

Now you listen here faggot.

Now I already got a low
opinion of your ass,

don't make me act on it.

Well it wasn't a hollow-point
I'll tell you that much,

because you would be dead son.

that, look at the entry
wound, got a lot of blood.

Hollowpoint blood comes
from the exit wound.

Don't touch the damn thing,
you'll get him infected.

Well goddamn he's bleeding
on the velvet Deluxe.

Bring him in here.

Lot of people don't know that.

[Boo] What?

The hollow-point.

Aaah!

[Travis] They were looking
for you, on the news.

Said y'all might be heading
south, Mexico maybe.

You see that, we made the TV.

They have stickers
and everything,

said you guys were dangerous,
armed and dangerous.

[Tyn] Oh shit, King couldn't
hit the ground laying down.

[Travis] Cops were
around the other day.

Thought that y'all might
be heading back up here.

Shit son you got lit up.

Now don't just stand there,
you stitch him up or whatever.

Well I think we should
stop the bleeding,

if he got one of the vitals,
we're shit out of luck.

I ain't a fucking surgeon.

Well ain't you got
nothing for the pain?

Aah, goddammit!

Here you go boy.

Hows that?

Oh boy, I'm going to need
the bottle, give me the bottle.

down, slow down son.

One step at a time like
you always tell me.

Take it easy kid,
just let the pain flow.

Get the hell out
of here with that.

Excuse me.

The police man, they're
going to come back here.

And Travis might be able to
hold them off for a while but,

it don't make sense for
them to get both of us.

Now don't you worry
about the police okay?

We're going to be just fine,

long as we ain't got
us no rats in here.

We need to tell them
about the hit for God sakes.

Well you just shush ok?

You're talking to pain.

Now you listen
to me goddammit.

I always watched your back,

even when I knew you
were being an idiot.

This ain't got nothing
to do with hanging in.

So I ain't asking, I ain't
suggesting, I'm telling.

You get in that goddamn car and
you get the hell out of here.

Come on, I want
to take care of that

little piece of business
we talked about.

I'm going to set us both up

and then I'm going to come
back here with ill-gotten.

You can bank on that okay?

You boys you take good
care of him you hear?

No shit Jordan I mean it's

Honey I told that I was
going to come back here

buy you your own

corner lot in
Margaritaville, didn't I?

Well here I am.

Back off King, I
need to finish this.

Oh y'all can keep
the lovers quarrels

to yourselves if you don't
mind, we got business to do.

Yeah well something you
boys need to understand,

being businessman and
all, supply and demand.

Now you all got the demand
to know what's on these rings

and I got the supply
to give you the answer.

So then your question is price.

Why don't you give us
an invoice or something?

Yeah we ain't exactly
liquid at the moment.

I don't give credit.

Look honey, I got
you covered okay?

You got me covered?

Oh chill miss Dow
fucking Jones okay?

Now your boy here is trying
to give you a kickback.

Why don't you try
trust for a change?

I'm just going to keep these
rings until you get back.

Downpayment.

Only if you got
something to tell us.

You want to back it
up in here padre, huh?

As thy dinst love,
but only covet,

all the gold to
thee, my beloved.

should've been

more careful about
what she wished for.

Just like old Ophelia.

had something coming.

I'll be damned if
they weren't right.
