Original subtitles

I know you moaned a car, Jay, but look at that right there.

That's a dang Rembrandt right there.

See? Oh, yeah, it's beautiful, Captain.

Yeah.

Not really into guns, man. More of a lover, not a fighter.

There you go. That should trouble you.

I'm thinking you get to choose.

Where's Cobb?

I think he's, uh...

Fixing a forklift.

You hand -checked that truck to Iberia this morning, right?

Yeah, Gil, it's in the computer. Don't want to hear about any more short loads.

Look, Mr. Gillespie, I got these two loads that I'm trying to get ready for

freight, and then I got two more that I'm trying to prep, man. I mean... Kate,

when I promoted you to shift supervisor, it's because you said you could handle

the extra responsibility.

Now, if you can't, tell me, because it's my ass on the line, not yours.

Gil, we're good.

It's my ass on the line, not yours.

Man, that guy promoted me just to shovel more of his work on me, you know?

Just another day of missing visiting hours, that's all that means. Oh, how is

that red -hot mama of yours, anyway?

That's gross.

When you talk about my mom like that, it's weird.

You know, man, she's got another round of chemo, and she'll be okay. You bet

is. She's going to pull through.

Well, let's quit farting around.

Back to work.

Yeah, I certainly do apologize, sir.

No, no, of course we appreciate your business. This is just what we call

human error.

Thank you.

Mr. Gillespie, a moment, please.

Shake that out.

Hey, man, what's going on in there? I heard another truck come up short.

I'd say it's about curtains for Gillespie this time.

I should say something. I got to go do something. I'll tell you what you do.

Call your ex.

Olivia. Call Olivia, man. Have her put in a word with the hubby.

Maybe say Gillespie's job. Go on, do it. Man, it's been three years.

I don't know. You and her, you're special.

Kevin's wife, man, she can't say someone's job. That's the stupidest

All right, well, you asked.

Hey, sorry to interrupt, guys. It's not a good time. Mr. Gillespie, I just need

you to sign off on... But Mr. Gillespie is no longer with us. Okay, put any

paperwork on my desk. Wait, no, Kevin. At the office, it's Mr. Wheat.

Go back to work.

It's not a good time, Jake.

Come on, Kevin.

Way to make the tough call there, boss man.

Excuse me, Anthony?

Hard -working old man like that.

Hey. What the hell? Let's get rid of him. Somebody's got to take the fall.

Buck's got to stop somewhere.

Not with you.

Was it funny to you?

Well, it's not like ha -ha funny, no.

How about joining him?

Would that be funny? How about you try that?

I'll go right to corporate. Who I'm sure would love to hear about your erratic

behavior.

Frequent catnaps?

You push a button on a large machine and you hardly do that well.

Don't act like you're so special that anyone would miss you if you were gone.

They won't.

So, back to work, hmm?

There you go, man.

Pretty much done.

Come on.

Need a ride?

Oh, no, man, I'm good.

All right, but I'll be off the web now.

I'm all right, man.

Walking helps me, you know, clear my head. Don't know how you do a walking

the time.

All right, man. See you later, catfish.

Get a couple more shotgun bumper stickers.

Later, boy.

Hey, who's sweet thing is that outside?

Look like a valet to you?

I'll save you a seat.

Hey, what's up, boss?

Two of beaters. You still drinking a beer?

Hey, man, does a frog scratch his ass when he farts?

Here's to the life, huh? Yeah, carry on.

Hey, Grandpa.

Hey, hey, hey, watch out, you.

Might have to take you over my knee.

That would be interesting.

Teach him some manners.

Oh, yeah, I tried. You failed.

But I do crave discipline.

Maybe you should take me over your name.

Maybe.

She likes me.

Oh, yeah? You think she likes the old ones, huh? No, not the older ones, the

classics. Hey, speaking of which, did you see that GT out in the yard? Oh,

yeah. Did you see that GT out there?

I saw her to break up the party.

Yeah, in the yard, right there.

We'll make him to be there. Thanks for bringing the bad news, Catfish. Always

good to see you.

Yeah, I didn't know he was going to be here tonight.

I don't want to bring you down. You didn't fire him. That son of a bitch

did.

That's going to come back on him. You know what goes around comes around. It's

called karma, boy.

You know what? It just seems like there's guys out there that they can't

fail if they try. Uh -oh. Hey, Judy.

Bring two of these, will you? We'll need them. You know, I box bolts and straps

for a living. That's what we do. We take bolts and straps and we put them in a

box.

Like, what kid wants to do that when they grow up?

Well, look, I mean, you're going to do other things. You're still young.

No, I'm still young. You know, what do I have to look forward to, Cobb?

You know, I got my mom. She's dying of cancer.

I mean, my brother, he's calling me all the time asking me to help him pay these

bills and can't afford a car to walk. I'm walking all around town trying to

where I'm going.

You know, and I got things.

Gumbucket of a boss married to my ex -girlfriend.

Everything I left that girl, man. Like, first domino and long line.

Bad decision.

Things work out. Like I said, you're still young.

You're not even listening to me.

Yeah, I'm listening to you, man. Why don't you listen to me for a minute?

Hey, let me look at this.

You know what that is?

That's a court order.

Let me tell you a story.

The old man fall in love, yeah.

She's a younger girl.

I thought she loved me too.

We had a kid together.

I mean, I'm thinking wedding bells, white picket fences, whoo.

I guess you weren't thinking that way because this is what love looks like,

That's a court order that says that I cannot come within 500 yards of my own

son, my own son.

I mean, she can ride in hell, but I would like to see my boy now and again.

Yeah, you got a problem, you know.

I'll tell you something about the courts. They're going to side with the

every time. It don't matter if she's a woman of your dreams or a frigid, cold,

vindictive bitch.

Anyway, we all got problems, Jake.

Hey, man, I'm sorry about that. I didn't know you had a kid.

That's all right. It don't matter.

All I'm saying is we all get dealt calls. It's how you play them. And, man,

play yours better than I play mine.

Hey, thanks, man.

Hey, I'm going to be right back, all right?

Yeah, I'm going to go get some air myself. Ow!

Hey Gil.

Look, man, I'm sorry about the way things went down today.

Nah.

It's not so bad, kid.

Don't worry about it.

Hell, you give me a second chance at life.

After all, man, my age, I have no problem finding another job.

Well, with the job market being in such good shape and all, as am I.

Plus, with my generous severance package, the future's looking pretty

bright.

Guess I should be thanking you Jake that would you come over here for so if I

could thank you Yeah, I was just Hey

what about

you son of easy pain Hope you

notice that I'll stick up for you back there

Every week that I've been up his blood about me from the start

What

is

that?

That's just some ugly little thing my dad gave me as a boy

It's monkey's paw.

What? Monkey's paw?

My daddy said it'll do magic if you want it to.

Magic? Monkey magic?

Some kind of hoody?

I don't know what it's taking you as an old beer man.

A little too pale.

I'll tell you honestly, I'm not sure what it is.

But I'll tell you this.

My daddy said it could take hold of a man's life.

Move the pieces around.

It just gets passed on from one person to the next.

Lending a man's fate to his own will.

Giving him whatever he wants.

How does it work?

Three bones.

Three good wishes.

That only its owner can ask.

I mean, you ever seen it actually work, you know?

The wishes?

Of course.

I wish for eternal good looks.

Hey.

Give it a shot.

Won't be too hard.

I wish for that bitchin' GT outside.

Alright.

Felt good.

You guys feel that?

No.

It is now.

Won't work for no one else till he finishes his three -boom.

I can't. It's yours. You know it from your dad? No.

It's yours now.

Just an old trinket anyhow.

Didn't make a favor getting that thing out of my cell.

Consider it a peace treaty.

No hard feelings.

No hard feelings, boy.

Booger, booger, booger.

Whose is that?

Look at that.

Whoa. Whoa.

Come on, man. Let's go. I'm getting tired. How about that?

Damn. Damn, Jake.

Keys are in it.

Look for yourself.

Whoa. How about that?

That thing works.

Come on, man. You know it's a coincidence.

Maybe.

Car's not in the driveway.

I don't think she's home.

Exactly what was the plan here? What do you feel? You're going to drive up and

sweep her off her feet, drive off into the sunset, just the three of us?

You ready to go? I'm ready to go. No, no, hold on.

Hold on.

Just so it shouldn't be a total loss.

Cobb, what are you doing?

Just stay in the car, Jake.

Cobb. Don't get your panties in a twist.

Get back in the car. It's all right. I'm just going to... I'm going to leave a

message. John, it'll... It's our boss's house.

Don't do that. Don't ever do that.

Come on, man.

We got to go, all right?

All right, but don't forget.

You mess with the cop, you get the corn.

Huh?

Yeah, you're drunk, you know that?

Uh -oh.

What's going on, Jake?

Hey, Olivia.

Kevin's not home.

A little late for stopping by, don't you think?

Is it?

Sorry.

I don't have my phone on me.

You drunk?

No. You know Tony? He works at the factory.

Hi, Tony.

Whose car?

Mine. You have a car now?

Yeah.

I wished for it.

Okay.

Yeah,

that's one thing you've never been.

That's really mean.

And really not nice. Okay, I'm Mary Jane.

Too little, too late.

Says who?

Me.

Go on, go home.

Before Kevin gets home and fires your ass.

Night, Tony.

You look kind of a fetching girl, don't you?

See the way she's looking at you? I think you got a shot. You think you got

shot with her? What are you doing with that knife, Cobb? Just gonna twist his

titties at Wardall to be his own asshole.

Just gonna break his chops a little.

Yeah, it seemed like you were breaking chops, man.

Well, what did it look like?

I don't know. Looks like maybe you're minding a little bit. That's what.

Yeah. Hey, man, I'm not the one making wishes on a monkey's paw, am I?

Huh. Maybe I am.

Fuck!

Thank you.

Hey. Hey. What's that?

Hey,

buddy. Cop.

I'm gonna call for help.

I wish you weren't dead.

Oh, my God.

Hell on earth, sir. I need an ambulance, fast as you can, all right?

I'm a ways out on I -10, near Metairie.

I didn't see a damn thing.

I don't know. I just... I was driving along on the road, and then I just

stopped, and I saw him, and...

I think the spell's dead. Just, I don't know. You need to come now.

Yes. I told you, I don't know what's going on.

Am I still dead?

Thank you.

Take hold of the man's life.

Then the man's fate.

Giving him whatever he wants.

As we speak, one's locked up in Jeff Parish, one's an MP, one's a minor

hockey forward. My ex used to call him Haymaker Bailey.

So you see, I've had my fair share of patron nuggets over the years.

Still say I ought to go to the hospital, but no one listens to me.

I don't feel nothing.

Tough stuff, huh?

Impressive.

Poor thing.

And through trauma your beard is all white.

I always did have a thing for the old house.

Well...

Hey, Jamie.

Because I brought someone home.

I don't know, it sounded interesting.

Okay, and I'm freaking bored, alright?

Turns out, there wasn't much to work with anyway.

I think you should go home.

Send John back to that Abbey or...

Hey! Where are you going with

that? That's my hoodie.

Hey, hey, hey.

Good morning, Detective.

Morning to you. How you doing today?

Very good, sir. Good.

Can I help you with something, sir?

Hey, son.

Just you and me go fishing.

You've got about two minutes.

Response time around here is pretty good. You are not invited.

What'd you do to your face?

You know what? Actually, I don't care.

Yes, hello?

I need police, please.

Look at you. Scraining order violation.

I'm going up.

Get bent.

You stay away from him. You get off of my property now.

Huh?

No, ma 'am. He's not my husband.

Yes, he's driving away.

Mm -hmm.

I'll stay on the phone with you.

Look, I'm just trying to find my friend, all right?

C -O -B -B.

He's not in the ER.

Jacob, what?

You see a cop?

How you doing?

All right, thank you.

Look, what do I look like? He's a mother catfish. I'm sure he's fine.

All right.

You didn't cry that night, yeah?

Not now, Jake.

Is there something I can do?

Yeah, give me a do -over.

This whole thing, all of it.

Can you do that?

But I thought...

See you, catfish.

Enjoy your weekend.

Hey.

Surprise.

I thought you were dead.

I believe I was.

That's impossible.

Mr. Paul, Jake.

Three wishes.

First a car.

Then me.

You wished this on me, didn't you? Didn't you?

No. Yeah, you did.

God, no. I didn't. I want that third wish.

Well, as we even said, there is no wish.

It's the polish, the trash, the trinket.

It's Olivia, isn't it?

What are you talking about?

You don't got to waste that third wish on her.

You're going to get her back without wishing.

I'll see you later.

Alligator.

Hope you don't mind the change of setting.

I don't mind, baby.

Cozy.

Cobb? What the hell are you doing here?

Overtime?

No. No, no, no, no.

No, no, no.

No, no, no, no.

Cobb!

Cobb, untie me right now!

Cobb, get me out of here!

Cobb!

I push a button on a large machine, and I hardly do that too good, but you know

what? I do it just good enough.

No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, just listen to me.

Cobb! Oh, stop acting like you're so special, anybody's gonna miss you when

you're gone. No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, just listen to me. Cobb, just

to me, please, please, please.

Cobb!

Hey, Charlie.

Yeah, I know, man. I'm on my way.

You all right that day?

No, I'm fine.

You know, just some late nights, a couple of... A little bit of trouble at

that's all. Thanks, Andy.

It's not a layout, is it?

I mean, we can still carry most of Mom's bill, but I'll still need some help

like we talked about.

Yeah, we're good.

It's not layout.

How's Mom doing?

By the way, you'd know if you went and visited her.

Come on, Charlie.

But he's doing fine, Jake.

Look, I'm going to visit her, all right?

When?

Yeah, you better get that.

Honey.

Honey.

Hey. Hey, Jake.

I'm sorry to bother you. I didn't know who else to call.

Are you all right?

Kevin didn't come home last night.

He didn't have to come all the way down here.

You sounded pretty shaken up.

He stayed up before, but not this long.

I'm sure he's just cooling off.

Tell you the truth?

The cooling off, that's the problem.

Me and him.

You and him what?

I need to get back to this.

Hey.

Let me buy you a cup of coffee.

I know it's hard for you to believe, but he was really good to me when we first

started out.

He listened.

Sorry, let me see him.

Of course he listens. He was your AA sponsor.

He used to be present.

He wasn't afraid of the future, and I needed that after you. I wasn't afraid

the future. No, you just never even thought about it.

Worth.

I got an idea.

Come on. Come with me.

This is fun.

Afraid of the future.

I knew you'd sit with me as soon as I saw you walking there. I'm sure you did.

Palms are cards.

What's your pleasure?

Cards.

I beg your pardon?

You have willingly entered into the combination of that what is dark.

Now you sit responsible for the man with no soul.

He's upon your life.

You make him, so he makes you.

You got your wish.

Olivia.

What did you do?

Now it's my turn.

There is no wish.

All right, the car was already there, Cobb.

And you're not dead. I want it, Jake.

I don't have it.

I went looking for it.

And I can't find it.

I'm sorry.

I can't help you.

My mom's cancer. My brother's asking me to help her pay her bills.

I don't know what broke inside you, but something's broken, man.

I'm giving.

Man, I don't owe you a damn thing.

Yeah, you do.

How are we doing, Miss Betty?

Better than Custer. Worse than I'd like.

My youngest is supposed to visit today, but we'll just see.

That sounds nice.

We'll be back to check on you in a little bit.

Jake?

I'm a friend of your son.

He asked me to come back.

I'm sorry.

What for, doll?

I'm gonna put my hands over your face now.

It's all right.

I've been there.

Not so bad.

Jake. Sandy, hey, where is she?

What happened?

Something with her heart.

They're not quite sure.

Where's Charlie?

He's on his way back from Bat Rouge.

I'm so sorry. Can I see her?

They're not letting anybody in. Where is she?

What'd they do with her? I'm so sorry.

What'd they do with her?

Don't go crazy. It was just her time.

Yeah.

And all this is.

What did you do?

Was it you?

I did it for you, Jake.

That'll do.

You're the one selfish son of a bitch, Jake. You got what you want.

You got your girl back.

The bomb is in peace.

It's my turn now.

What do you want? I want my boy.

I want him to love me. I want you to wish my son back into my life.

I don't have him.

You better find him.

I'm not on anything.

Okay.

So some old grump gives you this... What was it? A paw.

A paw.

Which is where now?

I threw it away.

A paw.

Says you get three wishes.

You wish for a car which you then steal. It's hard to explain. I'll do it all

right, I think.

You steal it. You wreck it.

Your buddy from work gets chunked in the brains, but you wish him back to life.

Maybe. And now he's threatening people you know if you don't give him your last

wish. And also, you're not on drugs. Don't leave anything out.

Yeah. Sarcasm, Charlie. Oh, yes.

Sarcasm. I just lost my mother.

Sounds crazy.

Yeah.

Yeah, it does, Jay.

Guys, you need to call the police. No, no, no. I know. I know.

I think you guys need to get out of town until all this boils over just for a

bit. JJ, what have you done?

Hey, we could take a few days off up at the cabin.

It might be good for you and for us after your mom and all.

Mr. Tilton? Detective Margulies.

So, uh, this man, you say, is making threats against you.

When'd you see him last?

Um, this morning.

He assaulted me.

You got some bruises, I see.

He also murdered my mother.

Yeah, about that, uh, I spoke with the attending over at Charity, and they're

saying heart failure.

When was the last time you saw Kevin Weiss?

Why? What does this have to do with anything? You know he's dead.

Somebody crushed him in one of your industrial presses over at the supply

warehouse where you and he and this Mr. Cobb all work.

Tony Cobb.

He did this to me. He can't believe me.

How long have you been seeing the late Mr. Weiss's wife?

Where are you getting your information?

An anonymous tip. Tony Cobb. You haven't denied it yet. Tony Cobb.

He's behind all this.

I remember you.

You were here the other morning.

You looked like you needed someone to talk to.

What's on your mind?

Am I under arrest?

No.

No, not yet.

But if you leave town, that could be a big problem.

You knew, didn't you?

What this thing did?

I knew it was bad luck.

So again, you deserve some.

Did you ever use it?

I never had the guts.

My daddy did, though.

We've done 30 acres of land past the point there.

My daddy, mom, brother, and me.

My brother hated it here.

So he joined the Corps as soon as he hit 18.

Mom wasn't happy about it, but she loved him so much.

But my daddy, my daddy was so pissed off.

So he rented out my brother's room to make sure he'd never come home.

One night a wanderer, a weird guy, passes through port and

needs a place to stay.

He can't pay, so he shows my daddy a collection of trinkets to bottle with.

And among them was this one little monkey's paw.

He tells me, wish on it three times, give a man whatever he desires.

He says, Joe, my daddy wishes you to help pay off his mortgage.

They think nothing of it.

Traveler spends the night, gone for it, and the sun come up next morning.

The day later, we get where my brother died in combat.

But then we get his life insurance policy.

The exact price of the mortgage.

And the family were never the same after that.

What happened was the other two wishes.

Let's just say my mom would have done anything to see my brother's face again

It

did something to come

I don't know what different

damn thing off. So look, I mean, if I have this monkey's paw

and it works, right?

Well, then I can just wish all this undone.

It'll give you what you asked for, but not the way you want it.

It takes from what's there and spits it back darker.

Poison.

Don't bring any more.

Must be going well. Doesn't nobody look like that.

Let's get out of here.

Little bit.

Mississippi.

Jackson, which was named after Andrew Jackson.

Right. Nevada.

Uh, Carleton City.

Hold on, baby.

Stay right here.

Are you Abby?

He came by here to debate.

You seem different.

Oh, I don't know.

What happened to him?

Um, I don't know.

Something bad.

Whatever it is, I feel responsible.

No. Mm -mm.

No.

You didn't make him what he is.

You see, Tony was always a bad egg.

I guess that's how I got in trouble with him in the first place.

I liked bad eggs.

Now I'm paying for it.

So what are you going to do now?

I don't know.

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

I... I... I... I...

No! No!

No! No!

Big son of a bitch, about six foot two. He drives an old model four by four.

Sounds familiar.

Think it might be that Tony Cobb character, sir.

The warehouse is the connection.

You know, I don't see Jake Tilton as this mad ripper type. And the Weath

she doesn't have the physical strength.

So Cobb, he's our best bet.

Look, I'm going to go track her down.

See if you can land eyes on Tilton.

Right a moment.

Okay. Yeah.

All right.

Good, because I'm not.

Now, the so -called police called us a throw -down team.

We got a file number, got no paper.

You can't have it if you need it. Just keep my name all the way out.

It's for self -defense, if that matters.

Sure. Can you borrow your truck?

Yeah. Yeah.

Man, some bad googly blue around here the last few days.

You got boss Kevin?

And Paul Gilley.

Gillespie?

I'm not down here. You up?

It's early tonight. I'll buy that trailer here. Somebody don't burn up his

real good.

I tell you, we're working for the barn to ground.

Worse for your health than smoking.

Yeah.

Thanks, Catfish.

Hey, I owe you one.

Not till I need something.

I'll dig a book.

Not so much for a lover, not a fighter, huh?

My brother may be a screw -up, but my woman's an absolute rock.

I've seen that truck.

Charlie,

hey, what's up?

What does he drive?

What? Car, big car, what is it?

He drives an old car.

But he got behind on his payments and he doesn't even have it anymore. Why?

Never mind. We're on our way to the cabin and we thought... Oh, shit.

We thought it was him. It's just some jackass tailgating in a busted 4x4.

Charlie!

There's a man following us. He intends to harm us. We need the authorities out

here.

Well, well.

Reckon I'm the authorities around here, fella. The real police!

Aggravation I do not need.

Hey!

You're gonna get fired?

You gotta be out of your damn mind.

You almost... Almost?

I'm just gonna... I'm just gonna go, all right?

Sandy! Sandy!

Charlie, what are you doing? This ends now. Charlie!

Run! Sandy!

Stay packing, son of a bitch.

I'm lost.

I thought you might be here.

I want my lawyer.

I'm not taking you in.

Not like that, anyway.

So what, then?

Have you spoken to Mr. Tilton?

No.

But he didn't do it.

You weren't so sure the other day.

I am now.

It wasn't him.

Well, I believe you.

Do you know someone named Anthony Cobb?

Oh, God.

Look, I want to take you to a safe location, somewhere we can keep our eyes

you, protect you.

What about Jake?

Him, too.

It's going to be all right.

Why is all this happening?

It's hard to say, but the awful truth is, bad things happen all the time,

especially around here.

I just want to... I just want to make sure nothing happens to you.

If you come with me, all right?

Okay.

Let me get my stuff.

Yeah, I'm talking to you.

What the hell was that?

You just put that lady in the trash can, man.

I don't care where you're from, that's bad manners.

So here's what's going to happen.

Once you let her out of that trash can, what you are going to do, my friend, I'm

going to teach you a thing or two about proper etiquette with the ladies.

Let's rock.

Let's roll.

Are you all right?

Where's Cobb?

He's inside.

Yeah, I heard him.

He's screaming.

He killed a cop, Jake.

Yeah, he, um... Something bad happened to him. I don't know.

I don't know how to explain it.

What is that?

It's what started it.

Now I'm going to end it.

Abby. You asked me to be here, and here I am.

Please don't do anything.

Listen.

Just let her go.

It ruins things, man.

It takes what you want, and it ruins it, just like it ruined you.

Hey, you were right at the bar the other night when you told me that, um, I

didn't appreciate anything. I was taking it all for granted. My job.

My family.

My friend.

Look around. This is all my fault.

This isn't on anyone else. This is on me, man.

Tony Cobb had his soul back.

I just want to take my boyfish.

Jake!

Where am I?

Everything's gonna be alright, sir. Take off.

The ball.

Where's the ball?

Where's the ball?

Where's the ball?

Where's the ball?

Where's the ball?

Where's the ball?

You buckled up?

Yep.
