The Jailhouse (2009) - full transcript

Small town, the American dream. A blue-collar family living the idyllic rural lifestyle. Nothing is out of place save for the lacking white picket fence - and the old JAIL that occupies the 2nd floor of their century-old home. Seth Delray knew the possibilities before he moved his wife and two kids into the old jailhouse, but the Sheriff assured him that it would take an act of God to put that place back into service. Times were tight, and it was just too good of a deal to refuse. That is, until the county jail caught fire. The Sheriff's hands were tied and he had to put displaced inmates anywhere he could find iron bars with a locking door. The Delray house was his only option. For Seth the worst wasn't the criminals locked like animals in the soiled cages above his living room. It was the mortal fear in his children's eyes, it was the piercing cold looks from his wife. It was that deep, dark creeping recognition that something had happened there, something terrible, something that would grip his soul with hundred year old hands squeezing hate from unknown depths. No longer did the birds sing upon the morning lit branches beyond the barred windows of the old jailhouse. No one could know the confinement of such a place and the horror it brings... the bleak hopelessness of one without freedom... ...the inescapable iron bars of guilt and regret into which revenge imprisons a man's mind.

[tense music]

- That's where he died.

They say

seventh cell

you die.

[tense music]

It's cursed.

- [Daphne] No, it's not.

- I don't believe it, either.



Why don't you go in
there and see?

- [Daphne] Why don't you?

- Okay.

I'm not scared.

See, come in.

[tense music]

[choking]

- [Daphne] Stop it, Jake.

Mommy, Jake's scaring me!

- [Seth] Hey, what's going on?

- [Daphne] Jake's scaring me.

- [Seth] What are you doing
with your sister, Jake?

- [Jake] Oh, I was only
playing around with her, Dad.

- I thought I told you guys
upstairs was off-limits.



Understand?

All right, I want you
to apologize

and take her downstairs for me.

- [Jake] I'm sorry, Daph.

- [Daphne] Just don't
scare me again.

- Exactly, so we're all
good here, okay?

Go back downstairs.

I'll be down in a minute.

[clanging]

[tense ominous music]

[tense music]

[faint pop music]

- [Grace] Did you find out
what was going on up there?

- [Seth] Jake was trying
to scare his sister.

- [Grace] I thought we said
the jail was off-limits.

- Well, I don't know honey.

I must've told 'em a
dozen times.

- [Grace] Can you use a glass?

- What were they doing up there?

- Well, they're kids, you know.

Weren't you curious when
you were a kid?

- Yeah, but I didn't
live below a jail,

especially one where
inmates are gonna be housed.

- Come on now, Gracie.

I must've apologized to
you a hundred times, here.

All right, it wasn't supposed
to work out like this.

I'm sorry.

- [Grace] Seth, but
you knew that it could.

- Well, we've only been
here for three dang weeks.

Now, what are the chances?

Besides, I think the
Sheriff's been pretty generous

lettin' us stay here
free of charge,

at least until our
house is finished.

- [Grace] Seth, look at me.

I don't want myself or my
kids living below inmates.

- Well, what do you wanna do,
sweetheart?

You wanna go to your mama's?

- No, why can't the
town put us in a motel?

- Because I told you already.

There's no budget for that.

- The inmates aren't
even here yet

and the kids are already scared.

- Well, jails are scary.

Don't worry, I'll keep it
all locked up.

We're gonna be fine.

- Seth, we're gonna be living

in the same place as criminals.

Has that registered with you,
yet?

- Sweetheart, I'm with
them 24 seven, okay?

You're gonna be safe.

- This whole idea is
ludicrous to me

and to think that the town
can't accommodate us is absurd.

- [Seth] Grace.

It's one of the stipulations

I agreed upon as Sheriff,
all right?

I'll take care of this.

- [Grace] Why here?

- Because sweetheart, the
prison is overcrowded.

[knocking]

[faint rock music]

[knocking]

- [Grace] Sheriff.

- [Sheriff] 'Morning, Grace.

Seth.

- [Seth] Hey, Sheriff.

- [Sheriff] You guys doin' okay?

- Well, how long
exactly do you plan

on housing these
inmates here for?

- Should be a temporary thing.

- [Grace] How temporary?

- A month, max.

Just long enough for us to
get the jail up and running.

You got my word on that.

- [Seth] You see, sweetheart.

Four weeks.

What's the worst
that can happen?

- [Clayton] All right, fellas,
let's go.

[tense eerie music]

[mumbling]
[coughing]

All right gentlemen and lady.

[mumbling]

- [Pablo] Hey man, all I did
was write a few bad checks.

I didn't get the,

I didn't get the death penalty.

- [Clayton] That's enough,
Pablo.

- Plus, this place stinks.

Smells like my wife.

- [Cash] I guess you and
your wife share

just about everything, huh?

[tense eerie music]

Sheriff, I'd like to
have a restraining order

placed on that old,
dirty bastard.

Please keep him away from me.

- [Sheriff] He'll be in a
separate locked cell, Cash.

- [Stark] Sheriff, is
Waylen stayin' with us?

I mean, no offense, buddy, but
you're an accused murderer.

- [Waylen] Oh no, no, I
completely understand.

I'm a dangerous guy.

- [Sheriff] Down the hall
in a separate locked cell,

away from you, Stark.

- See?

We're good, thank you.

- Relax.

You got a deputy
downstairs 24 seven.

[clanking]

- [Cash] Sheriff look, I
hate to belabor this point,

but I have a serious
aversion to asbestos.

- [Sheriff] It's not as bad
in here as you think, Cash.

- [Stark] I mean, if I could
just make my phone call,

I'd be out of your hair,
Sheriff.

- [Sheriff] I'll work on
that right away for ya.

- [Stark] Thanks, Sheriff.

- [Pablo] Sheriff, this is
a little harsh,

don't you think, for a
couple of bounced checks?

- [Sheriff] Come on, Pablo,
a couple?

- [Cash] Sheriff.

- You got a deputy downstairs.

- [Cash] I hate to
reiterate the point,

but I mean, this place is--

- [Pablo] Shithole!

- Yeah, a 12th century shithole.

I mean, this is definitely
below health code standards.

- [Daphne] Mommy, I'm scared.

- [Grace] It's okay, honey.

Everything's gonna be okay.

- [Seth] Listen to your mama,
littles.

We're gonna be fine.

- [Jake] Why are they here?

- Well, Jake, you know,

when we moved into Colton
our house wasn't ready yet,

so, the Sheriff was nice
enough to let us stay here,

at least until it's finished.

The fire at the jailhouse,
there's just

no other place to put
the inmates.

- [Daphne] Daddy, I don't
want the bad people upstairs.

- I know you don't, kitten,
but I promise

we're gonna be all right.

- [Jake] How do you know, Dad?

- Because I'm gonna make
sure, that's how I know.

- I wanna go to Mawmaw's.

- [Grace] We'll figure
something out, okay?

- A hotel?

- Would everybody just
stay calm, please?

We're gonna be fine.

- Listen to your daddy, kids.

He's right.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Seth, could I see ya?

- [Seth] I'll be right back.

- [Daphne] I wanna go
to Mawmaw's.

- [Sheriff] All right,
Deputy Clayton's

gonna have the day shifts.

You'll have the nights.

- [Seth] That's fine with me.

I'd just as soon be working
while my family's asleep.

- [Sheriff] Good.

- [Calvin] Seth, can I
have a word with you?

- 'Scuse me, Sheriff.

How's it goin', Calvin?

- Hey, listen.

Little news.

We're running a little
behind schedule

on the renovations of
your new home.

- [Seth] Listen, I don't
know if you've heard,

but we're--

- [Calvin] I know.

I know, I read the
paper this morning.

Look, we're doing
everything we can.

We're working at breakneck speed

to get you in before
the holidays.

- [Seth] I appreciate that.

Look, just do whatever it takes
to speed things up, please.

- Man, we're trying.

- [Seth] All right, thank you.

- Right.

- [Sheriff] What's up, uh, you
must really want outta here.

- Can you blame me?

I mean, my wife's not too
thrilled about this situation.

- [Sheriff] I told you
before that no one

downstairs is gonna be bothered.

The jail is soundproofed.

I'll be back in the morning
to check on the inmates.

- [Seth] Yes, sir.

- [Clayton] Soundproof.

[tense eerie music]

[scratching]

- [Stark] What are you lookin'
at, Pablo?

- [Pablo] The stars, Stark.

Stars.

- [Stark] Still awake?

- [Maddy] Like I could
sleep in this shithole.

- [Stark] I know.

Kinda creepy, huh?

- Kinda.

I'm scared outta my mind.

- What did you do?

- Writing bad checks
like your boy over there.

[Pablo ululating]

- [Stark] He's a character.

[popping]
[ululating]

So, what'd you do?

- [Maddy] I got caught
up in this drug thing.

- [Stark] Drug thing?

- Yeah, boyfriend, long story.

What about you?

- DUI.

- A DUI and you're stuck
in this place?

- Yeah, time has never
been on my side.

I had some trouble before
and they set bail too high.

You know how that goes.

- [Maddy] Sorry.

- That's all right.

I'll be out by tomorrow.

- Good luck.

Enjoy this place while you can.

- Yeah.

- At least you're not
the only female.

- [Stark] It's kinda weird
you're in here with us.

- What do you expect from
a small town like Colton?

- [Donnie] Colton's not so bad.

This jail.

Worst part about this
place is this big old

piece of steel between
me and a beautiful lady.

- [Maddy] Hey, nobody's
talking to you.

- [Stark] Don't worry about him.

- [Maddy] Creep.

- I heard that.

- [Maddy] Good.

- [Stark] Hey, it's
gonna be all right.

- All right, I'm tired.

Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- [Donnie] Goodnight.

[tense music]

- [Stark] Shoulda left a
long time ago.

[tense eerie music]

That was amazing.

[mumbling]

- [Jilian] I'm driving.

- [Stark] I mean, seriously,
that was a great night.

I mean, you won like, nine
straight games of pool.

[mumbling]

You're shocking and
I'm starving.

- [Jilian] No, you're
drunk is what you are.

[tense music]

[birds chirping]

- Wow.

Look at you.

Look at you.

You're more beautiful than ever,
baby.

More beautiful than ever.

I really missed you, you know.

So much, and I understand

if you don't wanna talk
to me anymore.

I understand that,

and,

I understand if
you're mad at me.

I just miss you so much.

[weeping]

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I love you.

- [Clayton] Waylen.

- [Waylen] What are you lookin'
at?

What the fuck are you lookin'
at?

[screaming]
[thudding]

- [Clayton] Crazy bastard.

[Pablo ululating]

- Up and at 'em, people.

It's breakfast.

Stay away from the door
'til I call your name.

Stark.

Cash.

Pablo.

Maddy.

Donnie.

- [Dispatcher] 10-54 in progress
at 913 Pine Grove Drive.

We need all available
units to come immediately.

- [Clayton] 10-4,
this is unit two.

I'm on the way.

[clanging]

- [Cash] Pablo.

- [Pablo] Well, don't
mind if I do.

Yeah, uh huh.

- [Clayton] I gotta
go on a 10-54.

- [Seth] Wait a second,
what is it?

- [Clayton] I don't know,
but the Sheriff said

you had to cover for me.

- [Seth] What do you mean--

- [Clayton] I'll see ya later.

[siren blaring]

- [Maddy] Seat taken?

- [Stark] Who'd they let
out of the cage?

- [Maddy] I know, right?

- [Stark] How'd you sleep?

- Aw, my neck and back
are killing me.

Probably got like, three hours.

'Bout you?

- [Stark] How could anyone
sleep in this place?

Pablo was right.

This place smells of death
and bad dreams.

- [Maddy] What, you
dreamed of something worse

than this place?

- Am I awake?

Please tell me I'm dreaming.

- You need me to pinch you?

- Might have to.

It's all right.

I'm gettin' out today.

- Oh, yeah, you'd leave me in
here with these animals, huh?

- I can make a call once I get
to the outside if you want.

[tense music]

[tense music]

- [Seth] What in the hell?

[tense beat music]

[frantic mumbling]
[thudding]

[yelling]

- [Waylen] Need your help.

Down here, we need your help!

[garbled moaning]

[reel flickering]

[tense beat music]

[frantic mumbling]

- Break it up.

[yelling]

Break it up.

[thudding]
[grunting]

[reel flickering]

[garbled roaring]

[grunting]

Break it up.

[thudding]

Break it the fuck up!

The next one that throws
a Goddamn punch,

gets the pipe upside
his fucking head.

Am I clear?

Now, settle your asses down,

or I'll be back.

[breathing heavily]

[horn blaring]
[slamming]

[metal pipe banging]

[cricket chirping]

[tense eerie music]

- [Grace] Seth.

Seth!

Seth, what are you doing?

[tense eerie music]

- [Seth] Did you put
the kids in bed?

- [Grace] Yeah.

Seth!

[tense music]

[thudding]
[grunting]

[groaning]
[tense beat music]

[yelling]

[frantic mumbling]

- Hit the man, Mick.

- [Man] Get him, get him.

- [Man] Hit the nigger!

[thudding]

Hit him, hit him!

[thudding]

[tense ominous music]

[thudding]
[grunting]

- [Grace] You passed out.

What's wrong?

I mean, I've known you forever

and I've never seen
you pass out.

- [Seth] God, I must
have ate something bad.

- I'm gonna take you to
the hospital.

- [Seth] No, no, no hospitals.

I'm gonna be fine.

- I don't deserve to
be here behind

these kind of bars.

I deserve to be in a better
bar where I can have a drink.

But they uh, all I did was
write a couple of bad checks.

My wife comes home one day with
two sealpoint Siamese cats.

They were twins.

And she wanted me to go out
and get this special diet.

And all I had was rent money,

but she said she was
gonna leave me

if I didn't feed these cats.

- [Cash] Pablo, what
are you doing?

- [Pablo] I don't know
what I'm doing.

- [Cash] I guess
everybody's a little nuts.

- Or they're nuts.

[chuckling]

- Yeah, that'd be great.

That sounds like a lot of fun,
too.

Maybe, maybe all three
of us could go, huh?

Little walk down the beach.

Maybe a glass of wine
or two after.

Who knows what'll happen, right?

[chuckling]

Oh really, Renee?

What now, huh?

What now, Renee?

Well, of course you're jealous.

Now you know how I felt when
you were lookin' at him.

You watch your goddamn mouth.

Watch your goddamn mouth.

Can I help you?

[tense music]

[muffled grunting]

- [Donnie] Shh.

- [Stark] Mother fucker.

Son of a bitch.

Get off her.

[thudding]
[grunting]

- [Waylen] Jesus.

Fuckin' get back.

[excited chattering]

- [Stark] Give him his fuckin'
asshole.

[mumbling]

[clanging]

- [Maddy] Fucking [mumbling].

- [Stark] Sorry.

[grunting]

- [Donnie] Why don't we all
just get a piece of that?

- [Stark] Sick fuck.

- [Donnie] Just 'cause
your mama's not here.

[laughing]

[mumbling]

- It's locked, right?

- [Maddy] Yeah, fuckin', fuck.

Just make sure that fuckin'

business, don't we?

Hey.

[smooching]

Why don't you give me

[chuckling]

Oh, don't be mad.

Come on.

[footsteps shuffling]

- [Cash] Pablo, we don't
both have to work out

at the same time.

- [Pablo] Just living my life,

just living my life.

[mumbling]

[footsteps shuffling]

- [Cash] Hey, Pab, do
you remember

that spacial awareness thing
I was talkin' to you about?

- [Pablo] Yes, I do.

Feng shui thing, yeah.

- [Cash] What's goin' on
with you, Albert?

I thought you were gettin'
out today.

- [Stark] Yeah, I
thought I made bail.

- [Cash] Yeah, well, hopefully
we'll all be outta here soon.

- Hopefully.

What are you in for?

- It's a long story.

- How long could it be?

- [Clayton] Rise and
shine my people.

- Deputy, you can't let
Donnie out of his cell.

- [Clayton] Excuse me?

- [Stark] You can't let
him out of his cell.

- [Donnie] Don't listen
to that prick, Deputy.

Lemme out.

- [Clayton] Why, did
something happen?

- [Maddy] He tried to rape me.

- [Clayton] What? When?

- [Maddy] Last night.

[banging]

- [Donnie] It's his shit!

- [Stark] Deputy, you
can't let him out.

[faint country music]

- [Seth] Hey, sweetheart.

Where are the kids?

- [Grace] Kids are at school.

It's noon.

They been there for hours.

You'd know that if you
didn't sleep so much.

- [Seth] I'm sorry.

These inmates got me runnin'
ragged.

I don't even know
which way's up.

Shoulda just woke me up earlier.

- [Grace] I tried and
you didn't move.

What's this?

[clanking]

- [Donnie] This ain't right.

I ain't no animal.

- [Clayton] I guess
you are for now.

- [Maddy] Get him
away from there!

- [Clayton] So sorry this
happened, but just hang tight

and I'm gonna take care
of this, all right?

I promise.

- [Stark] Deputy.

I thought I made bail.

- [Clayton] Well, you're
still in here, ain't ya?

- [Stark] I guess I gotta
call my lawyer, right?

- [Clayton] I guess you do.

- [Stark] Can you make
that happen for me?

- [Clayton] Yeah, I'll
get right on that.

- Thanks Deputy.

[groaning]

- [Cash] No, Pablo, come on man.

- [Pablo] You gotta go,
you gotta go.

[grunting]

- [Cash] You couldn't
wait five minutes?

- [Pable] Five minutes?

Take a dump like this?

That's like, five years, dude.

What are you talking about?

[stammering]

- [Cash] Why do you
smell like that?

We're all eating the same food.

Smell like Dr. Frankenstein.

- [Pablo] What do you
want me to smell like?

- Shouldn't exercise as much.

You're waking up with a
monster in your belly's

what you're doing.

[clunking]

- Yeah.

[grunting]

- [Seth] Something I
found upstairs.

Been looking for that.

- [Grace] What?

[faint mellow music]

What's wrong with you?

- No, Sheriff, I don't
know what happened.

Yeah, Donnie and Maddy's
cells were left open.

Well no, but he tried
to rape her.

She's okay, but they
don't want me

to let Donnie out of his cell.

Yeah, I'll say something
to Seth about it.

Will do.

I'll see ya in a bit, Sheriff.

[humming]

- [Stark] Fuckin' prick.

[chuckling]

- [Maddy] So much for
bein' in here one day, huh?

- [Stark] Yeah I know, right?

- What's up with your family?

- They're not around.

- [Maddy] Why not?

- Story's depressing.

I don't wanna bore you
with the details.

- [Maddy] Well, I got nothin'
but time.

And I'm all ears.

- My dad left was I was
young and my mom

basically drank herself to death

out of guilt from killin'
my sister, car accident.

[Donnie chuckling]

She picked her up from school

after having her
afternoon cocktails.

They drove off and
she lost control

of the wheel and hit a car.

My sister died instantly.

My mom died a year after.

What about you?

I mean, where's your family?

- [Maddy] Oh, man, I don't know.

- [Stark] Why is that?

- I don't know.

I just don't.

We had a falling out, I guess.

My boyfriend, who was
the one growing the drugs

in the first place doesn't

seem to be making it a big
priority to come bail me out.

- [Stark] Wait, he didn't
get locked up?

- No, should of, but he didn't.

- Wow, your luck is as
good as mine.

We should get Deputy
Clayton down there

to buy us a couple of
lotto tickets,

what do you think?

- [Maddy] Hmmm, 'bout
your girlfriend?

- Tryin' to reach her, but,

no one lets me use the phone.

It's kinda weird.

They leave us up here all alone.

Don't even check up on us.

I mean, one of us could be dead,

they wouldn't even know it.

[door squealing]

- [Daphne] Mom, I made a A
on my spellin' test today.

- That's fantastic, sweetie.

Isn't that great, hon?

Seth, isn't that great?

- [Jake] Dad, are you okay?

I helped Mom cook that chicken

and it's just sittin'
on your plate.

- [Grace] Honey, Dad's got
a lot on his mind right now.

- Do you like it?

May I be excused?

- [Seth] Where the hell
do you think you're going?

- [Jake] Dad, I have a
project to do.

- [Seth] You clean your plate.

- [Jake] Dad, I--

[smacking]

[Grace gasping]

- [Grace] Seth, what
are you doing?

He has a school
project tomorrow.

- We eat together as a family.

We finish as a family.

[tense music]

- [Grace] Daphne, come here.

[mumbling] it's okay.

[tense music]

- [Seth] Next time, you
clean your goddamn plate.

- [Grace] You'll eat alone.

- Fine!

More for me.

Goddamn kids.

[tense music]

- [Pablo] Gotta maintain.

I've gotta maintain.

I gotta maintain.

- [Stark] Maintain for what,
Pablo?

- [Pablo] I'm running
in a marathon.

- Where, state pen?

[chuckling]

- No, sir.

Boston.

[mumbling]

- [Stark] You're running
the Boston Marathon?

- Yeah.

You got a problem with that?

- Naw, nothing wrong with that.

Do your thing, whatever
your thing is.

[Pablo chittering]

- [Pablo] I just did my thing.

[chuckling]

Whoo!

- [Stark] Tired?

- No, no, no.

No, just a little winded,

that's all.

Whoo!

- [Stark] All right, goodnight.

[chuckling]

- [Pablo] Goodnight.

[tense music]

[Pablo coughing]

[Donnie whistling]

[tense music]

[Donnie gasping]

[breathing heavily]

[tense music]

- [Seth] Keep your mouth shut.

Might live a little longer.

[tense music]

[grunting]

[harsh squealing]

[birds chirping]

[footsteps clacking]

- [Sheriff] Hey, long night?

- [Seth] Hey, Sheriff.

- [Sheriff] Long night
undercover, Deputy?

- [Seth] Why you say that?

- Well, it's a little
past six in the morning

and you're asleep on
your back porch.

Why don't you get back in
there with your wife, kids?

I'm gonna go check on
the inmates.

Nice and quiet.

[footsteps clacking]

- [Grace] We need to talk.

- [Seth] What about?

- Last night.

We're gonna leave.

It's just temporary until
you figure things out

here with yourself.

- [Seth] But I ain't
gonna be that much longer.

- Yeah, you don't know that.

- Where you goin'?

- To my mom's.

- [Seth] Well, it's
probably for the best.

- [Grace] Come on, kids.

[melancholy music]

- [Seth] Jake.

- [Daphne] Love you, Daddy.

- [Seth] I love you, too,
sweetheart.

You be a good girl, okay?

- [Daphne] Okay.

- [Seth] Come on, I'll
walk you out.

- [Sheriff] Not pleasure,
not glory, not power.

Freedom.

Only freedom.

- [Stark] Book of Disquiet.

Familiar with it.

- [Sheriff] They say he
was ahead of its time.

- [Stark] Yeah, he was.

- [Sheriff] How you
holding up in here?

- Well, the food is terrible
and the room service sucks,

but other than that, it's great.

- Really?

- No, it's not great.

Nothing great about this place.

- [Sheriff] We'll get you
outta here soon.

Hang in there.

- Thanks, Sheriff.

[tense eerie music]

[dog barking]

- [Grace] I put some food
in the fridge for you.

Seth.

Seth?

- [Seth] What?

- [Grace] Never mind.

[tense music]

- [Seth] Hey, get outta there.

Hey, git!

[dog whimpering]

Go on, git, git!

[tense music]

- [Sheriff] You doin'
any better?

I guess not if we're
drinkin' at 10 a.m., Seth.

- You know,

I gotta be honest with ya,
Sheriff.

I'm not so sure this
was a good idea.

My wife and kids just left me.

This isn't workin' out.

- [Sheriff] I'm sorry to
hear about that.

- [Seth] I didn't sign up
for any of this.

- I wouldn't have hired
you as my deputy

if I didn't think you could
handle this pressure, Seth.

Now, I'm gonna have these
guys outta here soon enough.

All right?

Lay off that stuff.

- [Seth] Dammit.

Wish I never said I'd
stay in this place.

- [Pablo] Got any sevens?

[mumbling]

[chuckling]

Thank you very much.

- [Cash] Do you have a three?

- [Pablo] I don't have a three.

You must go fish.

Fish.

- [Maddy] Stark.

Stark.

Come here.

- [Stark] What's up?

- [Maddy] Hungry.

- [Stark] Lemme go make
you some bacon and eggs.

- [Maddy] Don't you
have any crackers

or anything to snack on?

- [Stark] I don't have anything.

- [Maddy] Guess they
want us to eat

our roommates then, huh?

- [Stark] Our roommates?

- Our roommates, the roaches.

- [Stark] Oh, I wouldn't--

[clanking]

- Ain't you two sweet?

All right, it's time
for you shitbags

to indulge in a little
arts and crafts.

[clanking]

You like paintin', shitbag?

You wanna clean some fuckin'
shit up?

It's gonna be good times.

Get your ass up, we're
going on a field trip.

- [Cash] Field trip?

- Did I stutter, mother fucker?

Get your black ass up.

Don't eyeball me, mother fucker.

You just keep your fuckin'
quiet ass here.

Let's go, now!

Move out.

Oh,

I'm fixin' to leave
this here open.

You better think fuckin' twice,

or I'll cut your grass.

- [Maddy] You are not serious.

- [Seth] It's pretty
self-explanatory.

Gonna do ourselves a
little paintin'.

- [Cash] Why?

- You're full of all kinds
of questions, ain't ya?

You keep that up, and I got
some answers for your ass.

Get to work.

[thudding]

- [Cash] This is unbelievable.

- [Stark] Could be worse.

- [Maddy] All right, Picasso.

Get to work.

[footsteps thudding]

[tense music]

- [Pablo] What, what do
you want from me?

- [Seth] Surprise, surprise.

- [Pablo] What do you
want from me?

- [Seth] I want you on
your hands and knees,

barkin' like a dog.

- [Pablo] I don't
know how to bark.

I don't know how to bark.

[weeping]

- [Seth] We need to
talk about what you been

seein' around here, old man.

- I ain't seen, I can't
even see you.

Who's talking?

[clanking]

- [Clayton] Lunch!

- You don't say a goddamn word.

- [Clayton] Everybody
back away from the door.

Pablo, what's goin' on, man?

- [Pablo] I don't know
what's goin' on?

- [Clayton] Pablo, I
asked you a damn question.

What the hell's going
on around here?

- [Pablo] I don't know
what's going on.

I know where everybody is.

- Pablo, what are you doin',
man?

Pablo.

Pablo, man, stop messin' around,

give me that gun back, man.

Don't do it man.

I got a wife and kids!

Please, Pablo, please.

Pablo!

[gunshot blasting]

Oh my God.

Pablo, Pablo!

What's happening?

Delray?

[thudding]
[grunting]

[tense music]

- Jesus Christ.

It's like draggin' a horse.

Guy's never eaten a piece
of fruit in his life.

[melancholy music]

[knocking]

Fun time's over.

[squeaking]

Is this your first
time paintin'?

It looks like shit.

Bunch of goddamn Jerry's Kids.

Let's go!

Come on, princess.

Get in your cell.

Let's go.

You mind your own
goddamn business.

Your food's on the cot.

You clean your plate.

- [Cash] Where's Pablo?

Where's Pablo?

- [Seth] I don't know.

He must have made bail.

[laughing]

♪ A spoon full of sugar ♪

♪ Makes the medicine go down ♪

Really fuckin' stupid.

Yeah.

Mmm hmm.

[knocking]

Who is it?

Goddammit.

Oh, Sheriff, hey.

- [Sheriff] You okay?

- [Seth] I'm fine, you?

- [Sheriff] I'm fine.

Have you seen Deputy Clayton?

- Not since earlier.

Came by and mention something
about his wife and kids

and I don't know, took off, why?

- May I come in?

- Now's not a good time, no.

Place is a mess.

- [Sheriff] You're actin' odd,
Seth.

- I am?

I'm sorry, Sheriff, you know,

I'm just not myself with
my wife gone, you know.

- [Sheriff] Well if
you see Deputy Clayton,

you have him call me.

- You got it.

- [Sheriff] All right?

[knocking]

- [Seth] Goddammit.

What?

Hey.

- [Calvin] Good evening, Seth.

- [Seth] Calvin.

- [Calvin] Thought I'd
stop by and give you

an update on the progress
of your new home.

- [Seth] Last time we
spoke Calvin,

you said you were workin'
at breakneck speed

on that son of a bitch.

- [Calvin] We are.

- Well, you just keep that up.

- [Calvin] Well, Seth, Seth.

I mean, it's only been a
couple of days.

- Yeah, if I was you,
I'd get your little ass

in that fancy little
car of yours

and get off my property,

pronto.

- [Calvin] You know, it's only
been a couple of days, and--

it's not your property.

- All right boys, here you go.

- [Stark] Something's not right.

- [Maddy] You think?

- [Stark] Where's
that guy Donnie?

- I don't know, I don't care.

- [Stark] That's understandable.

But he hasn't been around
in the last couple of days.

Then old man Pablo, him makin'
bail?

I mean, come on.

That doesn't make sense.

- [Maddy] He does
nothing but work out.

- [Stark] I know.

- [Maddy] [mumbling]
fight with Donnie.

[clanking]

- [Seth] Who's thirsty?

Brought y'all some refreshments.

- [Cash] What is this?

Red punch?

I don't drink this stuff.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

That's my bad.

You got a problem
with your drink?

- [Stark] Ah.

- [Seth] You see, that
wasn't so tough was it?

Dumbass.

[clanking]

Y'all need anything else,
you just holler.

[laughing]

[tense eerie music]

- [Stark] So, you're
an accountant?

Wow.

- Numbers, you know,
they're like people.

They all have their own
little world,

Their positive and
negative sides.

Full of possibility.

Indivisibles, their variables,
squares.

Roots.

Freedom isn't where you live.

It's not your job.

Hey, hey, hey, you all right?

Woo, woo, not lookin' too good,
buddy.

- [Stark] Hell if I--

- Are you sure?

Woo, woo, woo.

[tense music]

[clanking]

[grunting]

[tense music]

[breathing heavily]

[tense music]

[groaning]

- Maddy.

Maddy.

Maddy, wake up.

- [Seth] Breakfast of champions.

- [Maddy] Stark.

Stark, is that you?

- [Stark] Yeah.

Why are you whispering?

- [Maddy] I don't know.

Trying not to wake anyone up.

- I don't think no one
else is here.

Hey, is your head hurting?

- Yeah, I feel like I
got hammered last night.

What do you mean nobody
else is here?

Where's Cash?

- I don't know.

I guess he made bail, too.

Hey, do you smell that?

[screeching]

- [Maddy] Yeah, I smell it.

- Because the deputy downstairs,

I think he put something
in our drinks last night.

- [Maddy] I think so, too.

- Yeah, I mean come
on, red punch for Cash?

- You're so smart, you
should be a detective.

- Funny.

How's your cage?

- It's fantastic.

- [Stark] I like what
you've done with the place.

- [Maddy] Yeah, just
call me Martha Stewart.

- [Stark] It's gonna
be all right.

[clanking]

- [Seth] Sorry to break up
this little jailhouse romance,

but I got plans for your ass.

- [Maddy] More painting?

- Not quite, but just
as exciting.

Let's go.

Not so fast, turbo.

- [Stark] You said let's go.

- I was talking to the lady.

- [Stark] What's that?

- That's your new best friend.

The two of you gonna
shine up them toilets.

And I do mean shine.

[clanking]

Right in here.

- [Maddy] What's the new plan?

You gonna have your way with me?

- [Seth] Let's start
with a little breakfast.

- [Maddy] You want me to cook?

- [Seth] That's the plan.

- [Maddy] Bacon and eggs?

- [Seth] Or whatever your
little heart desires.

- [Maddy] Is this a joke?

- Joke?

[tense music]

You see anybody fuckin'
laughing, huh?

- No.

- Now, you make me some
bacon or I'll fry

your goddamn face.

- [Maddy] Okay, sorry.

Sorry.

I was just asking a question.

- Bacon and eggs.

- [Maddy] Oh, shit.

[scraping]

- That toast about ready?

Freakin' starvin' to
death waitin' on your ass.

[mumbling]

[tense music]

[thudding]

Oh, God, damn.

- [Maddy] Help help help!

[screaming]

[tense music]

[clattering]

[groaning]

- [Seth] Shit.

Stupid bitch.

[groaning]

God damn.

[groaning]

[muffled screaming]

[uptempo rock music]

town fast enough.

gonna be great.

- It is, to our new beginning.

- Waylen.

- [Waylen] What you need, hon?

- [Jilian] Two shots for
me and my wonderful fiance.

- [Stark] Make it three, buddy.

- [Waylen] That's what
I'm talking about.

This should put ya on your ass.

Guarantee it.

Here you go, guys.

- [Stark] To friends.

- To friends.

Gonna miss you.

- [Jilian] I love you.

- [Stark] I love you.

- [Cash] Mr. Stark.

- [Stark] Sir.

- [Cash] How are you doin'?

- [Stark] Good.

- [Cash] I figured I
could find you here.

This is your farewell party.

- [Stark] Yeah, yeah it is.

- [Cash] Okay, could you
sign here for me please?

- [Stark] Sure.

Oh, and here's something
for your guys.

- Oh, great.

Well, they'll find that
very nice, thank you.

Your things will be in
Toronto before you get there.

You have any problems,
give me a call.

- [Stark] Will do.

- Okay, great.

Have a safe trip.

- [Stark] Thank you.

- Bye.

- [Jilian] Thank you.

[mumbling]

[uptempo jazzy music]

- [Stark] Your pick, babe.

- [Donnie] All right, guys.

We're gettin' outta here.

- [Stark] You guys leavin'

- [Maddy] Gotta get
home to the kids.

- [Jilian] Thank you
guys for coming.

We'll miss you.

- [Maddy] Gonna miss you, bye.

[uptempo jazzy music]

[uptempo rock music]

Be right back, babe.

- [Pablo] Hey, how's it hangin'?

- [Waylen] Hey there,

[mumbling]

- [Pablo] Get me a
scotch and water please.

[chattering]

- [Waylen] Got cash, Pablo?

- [Pablo] Huh?

- [Waylen] How many times we
gotta go through this, man?

Every night.

I'm sorry.

- [Pablo] That's
discrimination dot com.

- [Waylen] Some water for you,
man.

- Hey, I'll have a water.

I'll take what I can get

and I'm gonna tell you
something else.

I'm gonna report this place
and report your smart ass, too.

- [Waylen] Okay, Pablo,
have a good night.

- [Stark] Waylen, how
much do I owe you, buddy?

- [Waylen] Be serious,
get the fuck outta here.

- [Stark] You're a good man.

- [Waylen] You guys
have a safe trip, okay?

- [Jilian] Thank you.

- [Seth] Oop.

Easy [mumbling].

Wow.

[laughing]

Waylen, can I get a drink before

I kick someone's goddamn ass?

[laughing]

[tense music]

- [Stark] You're a shark,
and I'm a star.

- [Jilian] No, you're
drunk is what you are.

- [Stark] Mmm, gonna
miss Colton a little bit.

- [Jilian] Oh sweetie,
Colton's where we met.

- [Stark] Lot of memories, huh?

That old jail.

[tense eerie music]

- [Jilian] Is it haunted?

- How'd you know?

Just ruined my story.

This deputy treated these
inmates really, really bad.

Inmates rose up and killed him.

So they shut the place down,
or something like that.

- [Jilian] Just
trying to scare me?

- No, no, no.

Every Halloween, my friends
and I would dare each other

to go into that place.

We were always too scared.

- [Jilian] It's
probably a good thing.

- How 'bout one last adventure
before we leave Colton, babe?

- [Jilian] No.

- Come on, don't be scared.

- Don't be stupid.

- What do we have to be
afraid of, huh?

We have each other, right?

- [Jilian] We could
get in trouble.

- No one ever goes in there.

Come on.

Let's go.

[chuckling]

[tense somber music]

[whimpering]

[mumbling]

Oh my God.

I'm gonna get some help,
I'm gonna get some help.

[whimpering]

Oh God, fuck.

Babe?

Oh fuck.

Hey!

Hey I'm up here!

Hey!

[tense somber music]

[whimpering]

Okay, I'm gonna get help,
get help.

Just stay right there, okay?

[whimpering]

Oh my God.

Hey!

Somebody help me!

Anybody help me!

Hey!

Hopefully we'll all be
outta here soon.

No one ever goes in there.

- [Man] Jail is [mumbling].

- [Stark] Somebody help me,
please!
