You need a recommendation?

What?

Need a recommend?

No, thanks.

All right. Suit yourself.

I'm reading The Man Who Fell to Earth.

You ever read that?

I have, actually.

I'll take this.

Nice choice.

Thanks.

My name is Dale Washberg.

Lee Raybon.

I've read your articles.

Oh, yeah?

They're very good.

It's a brave thing, being a writer,
putting yourself out there like that.

A writer, huh?

Most people call me that, so, yeah.

I consider myself more of a true
historian.

A true historian?

What exactly is a truth story?

Well, I made it up, you know. But you
know how they say there's more to every

story? Well, that's what I try to find.

Truth story. I like that.

It says $15. I'm going to give you $20.

Thank you very much.

Appreciate that.

There is only one plot Things are not as

they seem Who said that?

Jim Thompson said that

You come with me right now. I'm not. I
stood my ground. He come at me with a

gun. You killed him. I stood my ground.
No.

I'm not the bad guy. He's the bad guy.

Come on.

Shoot him. No, no, no. He's a murderer.

No, don't punch the gun. He's the bad
guy, not me. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey,

I am a federal agent.

Yeah, yeah. And everything...

is under control.

He's the security guard.

I'm undercover, asshole.

Now, I'm here to arrest this man on
behalf of Donald Washburn.

He has been harassing the future
governor. He is insane and a complete

And, uh, let's carry on with your
meeting.

What the fuck's going on?

Go get him.

You're like fucking bass reeds or some
shit. You're incredible.

That was awesome.

Careful shit.

Why are we in a fucking feed store? My
buddy went over there. He was 4

'8". He had a show pig with tapers and
everything.

You give a shit about those show pigs?

What the fuck? All right, all right.
It's okay, it's okay.

Here we go, here we go. Get me to a
hospital, goddamn it. Oh, come on. You

didn't have time.

Jesus. This is for farm animals.

Animals take medicine, too. All right.

Let me look at it. Oh, Todd, you don't
know shit about shit.

Just let me look at it. No. I think it's
glass, all right? I think it's just a

cut. It's a bullet.

Yeah, all right. Well, take these. Take
these. This will help. Here you go. Here

you go. It's like Advil.

What? It's like Advil. Come on, take it.

Is it Advil or is it like Advil? It's
like Advil, okay? But it will take the

pain away at least until we get to town,
all right?

Okay.

All right, calm down.

The fuck?

Bovine vagina muscle relaxant? What the
fuck?

Come on, man. It kills the pain.

It's for cow pussy.

I know. I didn't want you to see that.

What the fuck? Just come on.

You're going to be fine in a second.

I'm not going to die. I've taken it so
many times.

If you take it with a beer, it goes
great.

Yeah, you're okay.

And the cow says... Yeah, you can be
fine.

You're okay. Okay.

What?

Purity. Whalen!

What? Got you. Got you. Let's get you
inside.

Big step. Big step.

Yeah.

Okay. Okay. Right here.

Right here. Right here. Right here.
Okay.

How you doing? Okay. All right. Hi,
buddy.

You okay?

Huh? Yeah.

I feel wonderful.

You do?

You could have another pill.

No, man. No more pills for you. I'm
going to get you some water. Okay.

Cheap motherfucker.

What the fuck? Fuck you.

What the fuck?

Hey! Hold on! Fuck you. Don't fucking
talk to me.

I am so sorry, all right? I didn't
think. Yeah, you didn't fucking think.

You don't think about anybody but
yourself.

No, man. You didn't think about Grandpa,
huh?

He's the only one I had left.

And now he's dead.

I told you, leave us alone.

I'm sorry. What about the land?

I can help. It belongs to you. You don't
fucking get it. I don't give a fuck

about the land. I don't want it. I've
never wanted it.

It's people like you. They want it.

It makes you sick.

And you kill people because of it.

And I don't have that shit.

Hey.

Your grandfather wanted it.

He didn't want it.

No, he didn't.

Kay? He knew who it belonged to.

Who did it belong to?

This window's gonna cost me a fortune.

I was only trying to help.

You've got a strange way of helping
people.

Oh, fuck.

I always knew I'd get shot. Come on,
you're just grazed.

With a bullet from a gun, yes.

Yeah, and I saved you. No, you didn't.

Yes, I did. You were shot, and I saved
you. No, I was grazed. Okay, when you

came into that church, right, what'd you
see? Saw a bunch of guns pointed at

your ass.

No, seriously, like, did you see... No,
it doesn't make sense.

No, no, what?

No, I thought I saw Trip Keating.

The philanthropist? Yeah.

I mean, that's not a guy you'd expect to
see in a room full of Nazis. No, that's

exactly the type of guy you'd expect to
see in a room full of Nazis.

Fuck.

That's perfect. Park time.

I mean, you can just leave it like that.
Yeah, it's fine. It adds character.

Well, maybe you could put, like, a book
slot in there, you know, so people could

return books.

It's not a library.

Okay, well, my store's not a vinyl
rental either. You know, people just

records and bring them back. I paid you
for the camera. Yeah, I know. I replaced

it. It was mint condition.

Principles, the principles.

Hey,

where the fuck have you been? I got
locked up.

I'm some old bullshit, play. I'll beat
that, though. Listen, when Deidre comes

back, just tell her to go home. We're
closed today.

Sure? Yeah.

I can't believe you. What is wrong with
him?

Sought it by some Nazis.

Nazis? Man, that ain't shit.

What, did you guys put a book slide here
or some shit? That's what I said.

Breathe.

Lay down.

Close your eyes.

Breathe.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Breathe.

Full body stretch from your feet to your
neck.

Breathe.

Don't hold it or you will die.

Next up, Francis Lebon.

This is a little something I've been
working on.

It's kind of rough, but... I remember

the house.

There was a fence, and my dad planted a
redbud tree that didn't grow.

Bad soil.

After he left, it grew.

Mom said it just needed more time.

We had weeds that brought bees and crab
spiders, wild and perfect, everything

fighting to grow.

They decided not to tell me they split
so it wouldn't be so abrupt.

It was abrupt.

Absence is abrupt no matter how you cut
it.

Eventually, I stopped waiting for the
van to pull up.

On spring days, though, I look out, and
my view is blocked by the redbud tree.

Soon, I will leave, and the redbud tree
will still be there, a continuous bloom.

Thanks.

You wear it at night. Whoa, it's a tee?
Yeah, you wear it at night. Six months

from now, you're different.

It's a whole other experience.

Ow,

that was so beautiful.

Really? I didn't know. Maybe it was
too... No, it was beautiful because it

true.

Okay. I love you. I'm so glad.

All right. I got to rock on. Okay.

See you guys.

Marty. You got a minute?

What's up?

I just talked to a buddy of mine at the
station.

Frank walked in with a lawyer this
morning.

Had a whole story about killing Arthur.

Self -defense.

Looks like the DA is not charging him.
No, no, no, no. He killed Arthur and

stole the will.

They're calling it an accident.

All right, we've got to go find Betty
Jo.

Right?

We

can't

just drive around and figure out where
she is, Lee.

I've got an idea.

I'd lay there for hours in the cold,
rainy

marshes If the ladies were

squirrels with big bushy tails

I'd fill up my shotgun with rock salt
and

nails.

I'd fill up my shotgun with rock salt.

Hello? Pearl just called me.

What are these letters?

And how did you get them?

Maybe you should be a little bit more
careful to whom you sell your dead

husband's shit.

Well, what do they say?

Do they talk about me?

Are you fucking kidding me?

Lee, Lee, I need to know.

I need to know what fantasy world
he's...

Pearl won't tell me.

All right.

Come by the bookstore. We'll talk.

No.

I'll meet you, but in public.

All right.

Name the spot.

Here.

Take this.

Take the motherfucker.

What am I going to do, shoot her? She
may shoot your ass.

Nah, I don't need it.

There's a lot of dead people around
here.

Think about it.

Feeling pretty proud of yourself?

Played me pretty well.

You turned my daughter against me.

Well, you did that all on your own.

I was trying to do something good.

If you do something good, and it ends
badly every time, is that really good?

I could ask you the exact same thing.

I've done everything I can to help the
people I love.

You're a dangerous woman. Every time you
open your mouth, someone dies.

Especially the people you love.

I'm not dangerous.

I'm trying to protect myself.

And Pearl.

Our future.

What about Arthur Williams' future?

That's the name of the man you had
killed.

I didn't want him to die.

I thought Frank was going to kill me.

I didn't even know.

Arthur whatever.

Williams.

Whatever.

How long have you and Frank been out of
this together?

Did you take him to karaoke?

Did you take him to your bedroom?

Was it your idea or his idea to have
Dale killed?

No one wanted him dead.

It was an accident.

All I did was unlock a door.

Hey, I told you.

Dale.

Wasn't all there at the end.

He was slipping.

Probably early dementia or something
like that. I don't know.

It was an accident. That is exactly what
Frank said about Arthur. There's a lot

of accidents around you, too. A lot of
dementia. I mean, maybe you should try

amnesia or maybe a murderous evil twin
sister.

Get fucking real with me.

You were the one who told us where the
will was.

I was just the messenger.

You were the one who was snooping
around.

Now you're trying to shift your own
guilt.

Yeah, maybe I am.

But at least I'm not a liar.

I fibbed.

Yeah, and at least I'm not poor.

Oh, yeah, well, I would rather be a poor
man than a liar.

Huh.

Did you read that on a billboard?

Listen, listen, listen to me.

message okay yeah but it's over and all
we can do now is not make it worse

has anyone seen those letters

oh you haven't shown donald

have you

If you go to them and say that they're
fake, because they are.

You don't know me at all.

I mean, how did I let you fool me? I am
the victim here.

I've lost everything. You're a terrible
fucking person, you know that? I mean, I

don't know how you live with yourself.

You and Dale are the same.

Living in your little fucking fantasy
worlds.

Telling everybody what the right thing
is when the rest of us are just trying

survive.

You gonna kill me too?

Fuck you.

You're on your high horse.

Acting like some holier -than -thou
servant of the truth that really exists.

Just yourself.

Come here. No! Stop! Stop! I'm not
touching you. I'm not.

I'm sorry.

I know we're friends. It's okay. It's
okay. I'm not.

There's no reason to call security.

We're not.

Sir. Oh, great.

All right. Let the murderer go.

Let me go. All right. I'm not.

All right. I'll walk.

I'll walk. You're hurting me. All right.

That's the big one?

Bigger what?

The article.

The one that's going to set everything
right.

That's a little late for that.

You want a Mickey Mouse pancake?

What?

I'm trying to cheer you up, dummy.

Look,

you do this.

I do what?

You get obsessed with something and
decide that it beats you.

But you keep doing it.

And if you keep doing it, did it beat
you?

Or did you beat it?

Tulsa's one of those places.

I don't know why or what, it just is.

And you need someone like you.

Sticking it to them and giving them what
for.

So don't be a sad sack of shit, okay?

I think I just lost your goons.

That's fine. They know where we're
going.

Besides,

they never miss a free meal.

Hopefully, when you're governor, we can
still go to our favorite barbecue

places. Oh, yeah.

We just have to bring the news cameras.

Hey, you just missed Dutz.

I'm not taking you to Dutz.

What?

But I really wanted a buttermilk pie.

We're going to eat.

What is this?

A barbecue

I don't like surprises.

There's some things you need to hear.

I mean, without your team, your goons
and everyone else.

Just you.

I'm doing this as a friend.

Please, trust me.

Go with that, okay?

Even in my days who give in the heart.

We got hot dogs?

Yeah. Glizzy plate. Get yourself one.

You good?

Yeah. Money.

What? Barbecue. Money. Right here.

Thanks. Thanks. I'll let you guys be.

Proposition 38.

Your position. If you're willing to
change it, you'd have my vote and

the whole neighborhood.

I'm all for education.

See?

Sit down, fucker.

Want to know how your brother was
killed?

You are truly a crazy person.

No, I'm about to publish this article,
and I'm giving you a chance to respond.

Would you like to know how your brother
was killed? It's a yes or no question.

That's long.

Yeah? Well, I'll read it to you if you'd
like.

We'll just wait until it comes out, but
you're not going to like it. You're

going to get some lawyers, and then
we're going to sue each other. The press

going to go bananas with that, and the
publicity is going to be extremely...

for you. I've got nothing to lose, so
it's really up to you. No.

You're grasping at straws, Lee. No, no.
I'm a journalist, and I'm making some

very damning allegations in this piece,
and I'm giving you an opportunity to

tell your side of the story before it
goes to print.

For example, you were right.

Your brother was infatuated with a
native street artist named Chutto.

So much so that he wanted to give his
share of the Washburn Indian Head Hills

land back to the family it was stolen
from.

Unfortunately, this was bad timing for
you because this is the land you were

trying to sell at a very high premium, I
might add, but I'll get to that in a

minute. You and Dale had an argument.

This was the moment you decided it was
finally the right time to tell him that

his daughter Pearl was in fact not his
daughter, but yours.

Yeah.

That's when the trouble really got
started.

Betty Jo knew about the land deal thanks
to your pillow talk. She called Frank.

She was not going to lose that money.

She and Frank hatched a plan where they
would scare Dale into changing his mind.

Frank had the perfect guy for the job,
an ex -con named Alan, who worked for

at Akron.

Trouble is, Frank didn't know that Alan,

enlisted two knuckleheads to do the job
for him. So on the night, Dale saw them

coming, fired some gunshots, scared them
away.

Betty Jo and Frank talked again. This
time, Frank gave her clear instructions

for it not to go wrong again.

Sadly, the knuckleheads bought the job
so completely that they murdered a man

that they were supposed to scare.

What the fuck are you doing?

Stop it! What the fuck?

You stupid mother fucker!

Betty Jo found the body. She's
terrified, afraid she's going to get in

And she manipulated the crime scene and
staged it so it looked like a suicide.

No. She would never do that. She would
not do that.

That's what I thought.

Do you want to hear all of it?

It's very long and very upsetting.

No.

Okay. So now you understand.

Your brother did not commit suicide.

And with your connection to the police,
it was easy to cover that up.

The men killed your brother are dead. I
witnessed their murder. Alan was not

impressed with their work.

Then, mysteriously, Alan was murdered.

Jesus.

In my article, I make a rather
compelling case that it was that psycho

church that you're selling your land to.
Now, what's strange is just how wildly

overpriced this land is selling for.

So much so that when you see it in
print, it looks like you accepted a

No, I didn't know anything about those
people.

Frank set this up. Frank brokered the
whole deal.

All right.

What was Tripp Keating doing at the
church?

I have some theories on that.

Tripp Keating?

Jesus, I mean, I know who he is, but...
Well, he was friends with Frank, and

Frank said if I don't get Tripp and the
46 behind me, then I won't get elected.

Yeah, well...

Still looks like he took a bribe.

I didn't want to know.

Our family needed the money.

I looked the other way.

I thought I could make it right when I
got elected.

hurt my brother.

I hurt people too.

Judd had a grandfather named Arthur
Williams.

And because I trusted Betty Jo, he's no
longer alive.

Dale Wood hated this.

All this death, all this chaos, he would
have... He was a good man.

You never got to meet him, did you?

No, I never did.

This is what I wrote about him.

You really didn't know?

No.

No.

We got a proposition for you.

Yeah?

I'm all ears.

One second.

Donald?

Tripp? What are you doing?

I'm honoring my late brother, Tripp.

I don't know who talked you into this
shit.

If you go down this road, you're going
to lose everything.

Well, there's a lot more tribal citizens
than CEOs.

Come on, Donald.

You know Indians don't vote to hate
politics.

Hell, they barely vote for tribal
election.

I'll take my chances.

You need us.

You got me involved with some pretty
unsavory people, Tripp.

Now, if that blew up in my face, I'd
lose a lot more than just an election.

The boys that won well are good men.

Reform. Mm -hmm.

So what if I start digging around out
there, huh? You think I'd find

Donald.

We're about to start. All right. Just
saying goodbye.

Politics, Tripp.

Somebody has to lose.

Right this way?

Now listen, if you see Betty Jo
Boudreaux, she's not welcome here. You

my security, all right? All right. How
are we doing on time? We are right on

time. Do I have anything in my teeth?

No, you're good. Okay, very good.

Oh, here we go.

Thank you, singers. That was very
beautiful.

Well,

as many of you know, I lost my dear,
beloved brother, Dale, not long ago.

And I'm pleased to say that today we
honor and fulfill

his last wish.

His last wish...

was to give our old Washburg land back
to its rightful owner.

We reached out to the family of the late
Arthur Williams, and they have decided

to gift that land in its entirety to the
Osage Nation.

Now, I grew up in Osage country.

I have many Osage friends, and I can't
think of a better way to honor my

brother's legacy of a family name.

Oklahoma is Indian territory.

It does not exist without the great
tribal nations, and it does not operate

correctly unless the state government
recognizes tribal sovereignty and

works with the powerful nations there as
friends.

When I am elected, I assure you there
will be a friendly relationship between

the state and the great nations that
reside here, and that is a promise.

Thank you.

Days after I published my last piece in
the Washburg family, Dale Washburg died.

But I don't want to talk about his
death.

I want to talk about his life.

When I started to look into him, I
thought he was just an eccentric rich

His style was a little ridiculous, and
the more cynical side of me wanted to

resist him.

But as I went deeper,

I thought he embodied everything I care
about.

He valued freedom, personal expression.

And most important of all, he believed
that the choices we make in life matter.

And they matter even more when everyone
else is pushing against them.

Because if we don't act, terrible things
can happen.

Someone once described Dale as
sensitive.

They meant it as an insult, that he was
weak.

But as he pointed out, it means someone
quick to perceive things.

And that's a strength.

He understood things before the rest of
us did.

People like Dale.

are the kind we can't do without.

Excuse me.

I need to go. I need to check right now,
please.

Give me just one second. I'm so sorry.
Okay. Right now, though. Thank you.

Yeah? You took everything from me.

For what?

Let me.

I

don't

believe it.

But I sat there and I watched for days,
weeks, nights.

And...

Sure enough, she's leaving with the
boss. The boss. Holy shit.

His boss.

Now, I think the guy is, you know,
possessive, upset.

But sure enough, he was right.

I even took some pictures. You got
pictures?

Oh, yeah. This is like Chinatown.

Shut the fuck up. I'm just saying these
are good P .I. stories. You should write

this shit down. You got to. I've
actually thought about it. You should.

know, maybe you're right.

You know, individual stories.

Each chapter about a new investigation.
No, no, no.

You've got to pick one and expand it
into a book. No, no, no. The individual

stories will be better. You won't make
any money. I promise. Short stories do

not sell.

He tells me that all the time. Because
it's the truth. You know, if he knew

the things he acts like he's an expert
in, we'd all be rich. Ain't that the

truth? I happen to be an expert. Oh,
yeah? Where's your novel? Well, all

My novel.

On minding other people's business.
Happens to be in the trunk of a car in

drunken town.

Look, I made it. I see smoke going up my
ass.

Of course he's late. I've been holding
this seat forever.

Oh, hey, guys.

It's me.

Lee. Lee.

Got you right up front.

Better late than never.

Swear to God.

Where were you?

You look nice.

Maybe for a funeral.

Could have worn something a little
brighter. I wouldn't have killed you.

Nice day, huh?

A little hot.

Just wet my balls off.

Don't forget to pray for us.

So long, Marianne.

It's time we began to laugh and cry.
It's better to not need

it than to not have it.

I'm really proud of you for coming
today.

It's got to be hard for you.

Very proud.

Stop it. Wait a minute. Try and hold it
together.

It is a pretty way to know and it cost a
pretty penny. That's for damn sure

Thank you, appreciate it Wow

So what's your mom spent on the flowers
this thing, huh? I thought she's

environmentalist Don't care about that
anymore Would you like some caviar? Oh

god, no. Oh god.

Hey, what's that?

It's a wedding present Okay, but what is
it? Yeah, I'm not telling you.

Hey, how you doing?

Congratulations, man.

Thanks,

man. I know things have been, you know,
it can get weird. I

know, but it's, you know.

Yeah.

You know, I'll break somebody's neck for
Francis. You know that, right? Well,

you're a cool guy, Johnny.

Thanks. You're a cool guy.

Hey there, congrats. Hey.

Thanks for coming.

Yeah. Oh, we read your article.

You did?

Yeah, it was so good.

Really? Yeah.

Tears, bro.

Oh, thanks.

Thanks. Wow.

Well, I got you guys something.

Yeah, you can open it right now. Come
on, please. Right now?

Yeah. I love the sun.

The first one.

Oh, no.

Is this real?

What? Joe Brainerd's done it right
there. Oh, my God. Huh?

It's a real Joe Brainerd.

Erotic.

Cool. Cool. Very cool.

Badass. Congrats, you two. Thanks for
having me. Appreciate it. You walk me

Yeah.

Cool.

There, are we going to hang that?

I liked it.

You think your mom liked it? Yeah.

It's been a long time since I felt the
wind blow.

Drawing swift like a river's current.

Cool like the prairie moon.

Cool like the prairie moon.

You know, I was thinking about
something.

Something that I wanted to tell you.

It's just...

Seeing you and your mom and Johnny all
so happy, you know what I mean? I mean,

they got a really stable thing going.

You know what I mean?

That's good for you.

And I think maybe it would be best if
you did go live with them full time. You

know, like you mentioned before.

You know what I mean?

I definitely got some damage, and I
don't need to lay all that on you.

You know, it's not like I'm going
anywhere.

I mean, I'm always there for you, and
you can come by the bookshop whenever

want. We can hang.

You know what I mean? I mean, you're a
young woman now.

What? You know, you deserve a stable
environment.

Yeah, right. Stable. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't think this is going to
work for me.

Oh, come on.

Look, I'm rough around the edges at
best. At worst, I'm a liability.

Dad, that's just what other people see.

They tell you, then you believe it, and
then you repeat it.

Look, it's offensive to pretend I'm not
smart enough to see that you're good.

If you're not good, then I'm not good.
You're good.

Exactly.

Well, we should think about it, you
know?

Come on, we'll do the right thing. Come
here, come here, come here, girl.

Just go on and have fun with your mom
and Johnny, you know?

Do it for Johnny.

I love you.

I love you, too.

I don't think I'm bothering you.

No, that's... That's my dad.

Don't misunderstand.

It will pay you in time.

You've got to know.

She's a sensitive kind.

Tell her you love her.

I'm going to break that fucking horn.
No, you're not.

Neely Dan, I'm just saying, I just
noticed I get no business when you put

car in the park. I park there every day.
I know, but I just wouldn't walk.

part of it. I'm not blocking anything.
You can just move it up a few inches. I

need your help, Doc.

What's happening, buddy? I need your
help.

So I got locked up. I had a warrant. I
need your help. I got a hundred bucks.

Anything for the deadly natives. I'm
your guy. You know what you need.

I'm in.

Wait, wait.

I lost my keys.

Check it out.

Ah, damn.

Hey!

Fuck the van!

The Dodge Lodge is broke.

That's fucked up.

Yeah, well, that's all right. The man's
come and gone.

Oh, shit, man.

Good day to die, baby. Boo!

Ah!

Ah! She gets so lonely.

We can get it out, but you got him
pounded. Nah, it's not him pounded. It's

point. No,

Henry, go grab the bolt cutters, dude.
We're going to go get that. Hey, we're

going to get the company. You are the
only one.

I got you. You guys want to play?

Hey.

Don't take her for granted.

She has a heart, man.

You've got to know that Jesus answered
again.

All right, back to the stage, Betty Jo
Washburn.

Big round of applause.

It's Betty Jo Woodrow.

Betty Jo Woodrow.

It's the jacket I wore when I was a
rodeo queen.

The only two things in life that make it
worth living is guitars that tune good

and firm -feeling women.

I don't need my name in the marquee
lights.

I got my song and I got you with me
tonight.

Maybe it's time we got back to the
basics of love.

Let's go to Lucanbox, Texas.

and the boys.

The successful life we're living.

Hank Williams' pain songs and Miss Train
songs and blue eyes crying in the

rain.

Out in Lucanback, Texas, ain't nobody
feeling no pain.

So, baby, let's take that diamond ring
and buy some boots and faded jeans and

away.

I got the twins checking me in. In your
high society, you cry all day.

We've been so busy keeping up with the
Joneses. Poor car garage,

and we're still building on.

Maybe it's time.

We got back to the basics of love.

Let's go to Lucanback, Texas with Waylon
and Willie and the boys.

The successful life we're living's got
us shooting like the Hatfields and

McCoys.

Between Hank Williams' pain songs and
Newberry's...

Ain't nobody feeling no pain.
