PAUL: You ever think about having $2 million?

You gain my parents' total trust,

then we totally trick them to go to Mexico.

It's not like we're hurting them.

We just get them out of the picture for a little while.

You take my identity.

- Yeah. - You are a person of interest.

$26,000 back, or I'm gonna get you.

I have to be going.

My mother and father were killed in Mexico.

I'm wearing a fucking ankle bracelet.

It's the kind that an old Texas Ranger

puts on you for a murder. How do I get it off?

HECTOR: Go find a rattlesnake, let it bite you,

go to the emergency room.

They'll take it off.

SCOTTY: The simplest way to proceed

This is snake repellent.

Yep.

We wanted something to attract snakes.

Like snake cologne?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

We don't sell that.

I don't think anyone makes that product.

Why would they?

What do they like?

Yeah. What are rattlesnakes into?

Well, they're into, like, long grass,

pools of water, rodents.

But you don't have, like, a snake juice

that just draws them on in?

No. We don't have snake juice.

There is, uh, one guy in town who knows who I am...

my Uncle Dave. He lives in Kilroy County.

It's two towns up. It's close.

He knows what I look like.

He's no problem, though... Dave.

Why?

He's shunned.

Why?

He was convicted of, you know,

bothering little boys.

Is that against the law?

Yeah. The way that he did it... yeah.

Oh, okay. I get it.

Uncle Dave?

- Yeah? - To the tollbooth and back?

Tollbooth, back.

Shunned?

Shunned.

He gets out in 19 days,

and then he's free to rove all over

to non-tollbooth places,

but you'll be gone in two weeks,

so no Uncle Dave trouble on the horizon.

And tollbooth men have the highest suicide rate

out of all of the jobs ever,

so could be less.

It's 90 days.

What is?

The wait.

It's 9... 90? It's...?

It's 90 days 'cause it's... 'cause it's limited.

It's a legal thing.

You're way off. How the fuck...

Where'd you get 14 days, anyway?

Oh, that wasn't like the actual...

I was just saying, like, a round number.

- Round number? - Yeah.

90's a round number,

You could have said that.

Okay, well,

that's gonna make things harder.

Yeah.

Oh, I do that.

They're very important contours, and they're $7,

Okay. Just don't tell anyone.
