When I was still just a kid, I remember
my father telling me what he thought

that it took for a man to be happy.

Tommy, finally.

Come on, man. New Year's is tonight.

Sorry, I'm late. Don't worry, I'll cover
for you. Thank you.

What, did you stay out till they hung
the last dog?

Yeah.

Simple things, really.

A wife he loves.

A decent job.

Friends and neighbors who like and
respect him.

And for a while there, without hardly
even realizing it, I had all that.

I was a happy man.

Hey, Tom.

Remember we talked about me getting off
early today?

you guys going hey can i come no oh
please oh

hey

carl hey happy new year hank you have to
start charging people for that you had

to pay better than the county does

How are you feeling today?

Good.

Oh my God.

You're kicking a lot today.

Uh -oh.

Looks like it's going to be a long
afternoon for you.

You brought Lou along.

Oh, great.

I'll just be lying here, relaxing.

What's he doing here?

He needed a ride home.

A little out of the way, isn't it?

Well, we can drop him off when we're
done. You know, it's no big deal, Hank.

Big deal, Hank?

Hey, you know, you need to shovel this
shit off of your, uh, what do you call

it, deal there?

Hey, you afforded to do it.

Huh?

Couldn't use it.

Ha ha ha, look at Lou.

No, no, it's going to wilt.

Hey, do you say hi to Mary Beth? Oh,
yeah. Hi, Mary Beth.

Say hi, Mary Beth.

Hi, Lou. Say hi.

Come here, honey.

Somebody else was here.

I brought those.

When?

What the hell do you think, Hank?

This is the only day we can come here?

What the hell's wrong with you?

I don't know.

Hey, Jacob!

Look! I'm right in my name!

Hang on a second. Let me get Mr. Johnson
out here.

I'll help you out.

You know what the guy says?

He says it's a crockpot?

No, no, pay attention now. Oh, no,
that's the preacher, see? This is the

Okay, he says move.

No, no, it's the guy standing by the
road. He says, well, officer, it's just

pineapple.

You get it?

Well, Mr.

Accountant doesn't get it.

Look out!

You okay with me?

Come on, get out.

Look at that, man.

My truck.

Come on, get out.

Right back.

She's going to come back. Hey, what are
you doing?

It's a nature preserve. You know that.

So what?

You can't hunt here. Put the gun back.

But it messed up my truck.

Well, so what?

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

It's not like we're hunting here.

We're collecting the debt.

Mary Beth!

Look at all them birds.

Those things are always waiting on
something to die so they can eat it,

Weird. What a weird job.

Wish we had something to drink.

Always be prepared.

Oh, that's a good idea. Let's all start
drinking now.

See there? See how he is?

Walk, knit, knit, like that guy. You
know?

Remember? Walk, knit, knit.

You know something?

I'm not thirsty.

What? You don't drink till after five?

After five.

Or maybe you just don't want to share.
You're afraid you'll catch something

us, huh?

Hey, come on. What are you doing?

Checking around.

Now, you see, that's what you might call
an insinuating throw.

Remember?

You said that to me last time I saw you.

Could have just said hint, but no.

You had to put on airs.

Show us all them fancy words you know.

What, do you sit around and you think
about this stuff? When was that, two

months ago?

Shit, that's an airplane.

You know what, it's probably one of
those drunk doctors, how they're always

crashing their plane, you know? Yeah.

It's too dark, I can't see.

Scrape some of that snow off the
windshield.

Are you okay?

Hey, buddy.

Did I see the birds?

Come on, help me get out of here.

There you go. Put that on your eye.

Thanks. Victoria, coach.

Oh, my God. Oh,

my God. Look at this.

Shit.

Oh, my God.

How much do you think is in here?

God almighty.

It's your $100 bills.

The whole bag.

Is this real money, Lou? Yes, it's real.
Don't be stupid.

What would somebody be flying around
with this kind of cash?

You know what?

I bet it's drug money.

That's probably what it is. This guy's a
dope dealer because that's what they

do. They fly around.

This is dirty money. That's right. So
2020.

Dirty money. What are you doing? It's
like, what are you talking about? It's

counterfeit. Dirty money.

No, no, no, no, no. This is real.

Whatever it is.

It's a police matter now. What do you
think we should do? Somebody should stay

here. Somebody should go after the cops.
What?

Let's think this through. What? Hold on.

What if we didn't turn it in?

You want to keep it?

He wants to keep it.

Well, that's a hot one.

Why wouldn't we?

Why wouldn't we? Yeah. Because we'd go
to prison.

Why? Why? Because it's stealing.

Stealing. Stealing from who? From him?

Hell, he won't mind.

Oh, because he's dead, right?

That's pretty funny. He's dead. He won't
mind.

I said we take this bag back to the
truck and we pretend like we were never

here. Yeah, why not? Why not? Because we
get caught. That's why. Oh, hell.

I'll tell you what. Stay the hell out of
it then.

You know.

We don't need you. It'd just be more
money for us.

I don't want to stump you with another
fancy word, Lou, but does the term

accomplice mean anything to you? Well,
that's stupid.

But, Hank, why would we get caught?

Because it's a lot of money, Jacob.

Somebody's bound to be looking for it.
When they find that plane and the

not in it, no, that's not bullshit.
They're going to come looking for us.

Bullshit! This is dirty money. And as
far as that guy's concerned, the cops

don't even know he exists.

Nobody knows about this.

Nobody knows but us. It's like we came
out here just on a hike and found lost

treasure.

It's the American dream in a goddamn gym
bag. He just wants to walk away from

it.

You work for the American dream. You
don't steal it.

Then this is even better.

If this guy's a dope dealer, like we're
talking about, then that means we're

like Robin Hood. Oh, yeah, and I'll tell
you what. You got a beautiful wife at

home. You're about to have a baby.

I know you ain't pulling down that much
at the feed mill.

Wouldn't you love to have a piece of
this?

Well, yes, I would, but we can't just
take it. Hey, what if there's a reward?

Maybe there's a reward and they'll give
it. Maybe there's not.

How about this? I tell you what, I'll
bet you $10 ,000, just one of these

packets, that when they find this plane,
there's no mention of this money.

Hank, why turn it in until we know
whether or not somebody's looking for

That's right.

If you scratch them, don't itch.

If it's broken, don't fix it.

Right? Or if it's... I know what you
mean.

Suppose I was the one to keep it.

For how long?

Just till spring, till they find the
plane.

Then what?

And if you're right, nobody mentions the
money, we split it up and we all leave

town.

Why should you get to hold it?

That's the only way I'll do it.
Otherwise, we can just turn it in right

You mean you don't trust us?

Is that what you mean?

That's a lot of money. I guess I don't.

Look, no, no, no promises.

If somebody comes searching for the
money, I'll burn it. I'll burn it and

it. No, no, that's the only way I'll do
this. Look, we gotta be agreed on this.

That's the deal.

That's the deal.

I hold on to it. We wait till they find
the plane and nobody mentions it. We

split it up and we move away.

Okay?

I'm in.

We count it first.

This is nuts.

Oh, my God.

What you gonna buy, Jakey boy?

I'm gonna buy a new truck. Oh, fuck
that. Get something classic. Trans Am.

Oh, yeah. In my wildest fucking dreams,
a Trans Am. My fleet of Trans Am. There

you go.

There you go.

There you go. There you go.

New shoes for baby.

$4 ,380 ,000.

$4 ,390 ,000.

$4 ,400 ,000.

Listen to that. Look at that shit, man.

Look how square it is.

That's cool, huh? How much is that a
piece?

About a million and a half.

A million and what? A million and a
half?

What? You hear that?

Get the truck. I'll handle this.

Come on. Let's go. Come on. Cover up the
money.

Get the truck. Dump me up. Let's go.

Come on.

Hey, Carl.

Engine trouble, Hank? Oh, I wish. Dog
trouble.

Jacob's mutt chased a fox into the
woods.

You dream?

Well, we thought so, but just when we
went after it, she came running back.

What are you doing to your head there?

Oh, I ran into a tree branch.

Your brother's still out of work?

Yeah.

Lou? Yeah, him too.

Well, it's a shame, ain't it?

Well, we probably better be headed back.

Hey.

Hello, Jacob.

Hey, Carl. How you doing? Good, good.

I was going to think you were trying to
avoid me.

I'm sorry?

You're sitting over there in that truck.
I thought you were trying to avoid me.

Oh, no, I was just sitting in the truck.
It's a little cold out here. I didn't

keep it warm.

Well, he probably regretted it. Did you
tell him about the plane?

It sounded like a plane.

What plane?

You heard a plane.

I know what he heard. You know he's
always hearing shit.

You better tell me, Jacob.

No, it's okay.

We're going to get on home.

All right. All right, come on. It's New
Year's. Let's get out of here.

Call me, Carl. Happy New Year. You sure
you don't need any help?

All right.

God damn it!

I've seen you do some pretty stupid
things, Jacob, but that pretty much

the cake.

My dear.

Oh, well, that's brilliant, Lou.

Now when they find the plane and they
realize the money's gone, they're going

know right off who took it.

Well, that's what's cool about it,
though, Hank. I mean, you know, we

tell somebody if we were the ones that
did it. I mean, it's not like he said

that you actually saw a plane going
down. Just you thought you might have

one with the engine truck. You want me
to burn the money?

I am not going to prison over this.

It looks like there's even the slightest
chance of us getting caught.

I swear to God, it's all going to
vanish.

You understand?

Don't hit Mary Beth.

Remember, nobody knows about this. That
includes Nancy.

She's going to have to find out about it
sooner or later. She's going to wonder

where all my money's coming from.

Ow! Stop it! You can tell her when we
decide it's safe to keep it, but not

before then.

And the same goes for Sarah.

Of course.

Damn it!

You know, I'll bet he's telling her.

You know, I can't keep a secret.

Hey, honey.

Hey.

I'm starting to get worried about you.
It's horrible.

No, it's all right.

Hey.

What happened to your head?

It's okay. It's just a scratch.

It's all bloody.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah, sure.

What if you were walking in the woods...
It's not deep.

...and you found a bag full of money?

Let's say $4 million.

Would you keep it?

Of course not. Here, hold that.

How come?

For starters, he'd be stealing.

We're talking about lost money here.
Nobody's looking for it.

Four million dollars of lost money.

Yeah. That nobody's looking for? Yeah.

Well, so then whose money is it?

Yours. Oh!

It's my money?

But whose money was it before?

A bank robber's.

So then it's the bank's money.

All right, it's a drug dealer's.

Hank,

this is really silly.

Obviously you want me to say something
in particular. I don't know what it is,

but you want me to agree with you or say
that you're right or something. But I

wouldn't take it.

That's just me. I wouldn't.

It's real.

If we keep it, we never have to worry
about money again.

We don't have to worry about money now,
Hank.

You've got a good job.

We don't need it.

Yeah, but nobody gets hurt by us keeping
it.

I mean, that's what makes it a crime,
doesn't it? Somebody getting hurt.

What makes it a crime is it's against
the law. It doesn't matter if you get

or if they don't. You get caught and you
go to jail. Nobody's going to get

caught. The money's the only evidence
we've done anything wrong.

We see money, we see what happens.

If somebody comes searching for it, we
just burn it and that'll be that.

No rent.

What about Jacob and Lou?

Well, if we're handling the money,
they'll have to let us hold the shots.

It seems crazy just to give it up. I
mean, before we know if anybody's

searching for it.

This is it. It ain't champagne, but...
Happy New Year.

You have to go back and return some of
the money.

What?

A lot.

Like 500 ,000.

See, that way, when they find the plane,
they'll assume nobody's been there yet.

It'll put us beyond suspicion.

No one would walk away from that much
money. Wait a second.

We're going to keep the rest?

You'll have to go in the morning, so
when it storms later, it'll cover your

tracks.

You think he'd go back and take it?

It's just being careful.

That's what we have to be from now on.
We have to be careful.

We have to be thinking ahead all the
time.

Jacob! Jacob, come on, open up!

Yeah,

I screwed up. I moved the pilot.

Only got to go clean back like he was.

Come on, I need a lookout.

If somebody comes by, you pretend you're
changing the tire.

You know, that's not going to work.

What do you mean it's not going to work?

Well, nobody's going to believe that.
It's not flat.

You're kind of crafty.

I observe things.

Observe and learn, my friend.

Observe and learn.

That's cool

I took the other one, the bad one, and
put it in the trunk.

It's back there now, flat as a pancake.

But it's cool now. Everything's all
right.

You see that goddamn fox come by here
about five minutes ago, heading right on

down to the woods?

No, I didn't see a fox.

I didn't see any fox.

Well, you've been standing where I'm
sitting to put you on the edge.

Listen to his heart or something like
that.

Come on, man, listen. You got to do it.

He's going to be okay.

Oh, God, Jacob. I'm pretty sure he's
going to be okay. What else was I going

do?

Oh, God.

He's dead.

Oh, Hank, that's not right.

We could probably do that CPR deal.

You know, you could do that cardiac
arrest thing.

We could do something. God damn it.

Let me think.

Okay, we can't panic.

Have any cars gone by?

Cars? Cars, cars. Come on, think. I was
in the woods. You see any cars go by?

What, Hank?

Oh, God.

All right.

You got to make this look like it was an
accident.

Come on. Come on.

Grab his legs.

Wait, wait, wait.

We can't do that. Come on. We can't do
that. What do you mean we can't do it?

Because we're going to make tracks, and
they're going to see him and follow him.

It's going to be like a crime scene or
something. You're going to drive the car

back to the bridge.

I'll put him on the snowmobile and take
him through the park.

And you're going to get there ahead of
me.

So whatever you do, I don't want you to
stop. I want you to just drive on by and

circle back. I don't want people to see
you sitting there.

That's right. That's right.

Come on. Come on now.

They're not going to take me away, are
they? I mean, you've got to promise me

that. Nobody's going to take you away. I
promise.

But we've got to hurry. It's going to be
okay, right? Hey, come on.

Come on, we gotta go. You're gonna be
there, right? I'm gonna be there. Now

go!

What? What?

What?

Your brother.

He hit me.

Call the police.

Get the police.

Jacob, what are you doing?

Come on, before anybody sees.

What?

It's just stupid. I mean, see, if we
cover it up, it's just going to be worse

anyhow. So, you know, I'm just going to
go and pull him out. You know, we're

just going to tell everybody the truth.

You know, tell them about the money and
everything and just say that I didn't...

Wait a minute!

This is my decision!

It's mine, not yours!

We both did.

What are you talking about?

He was alive when you left.

I smothered him.

I guess that makes it my decision.

It's going to be okay. I mean, it looked
real.

And even if... I mean, let's say it
didn't look like an accident.

Whatever, I mean, why would anyone think
of us?

Your tracks lead right to the plane.

But it's going to snow.

Any minute now, it's going to start
snowing. Was there any blood?

What? Jacob hit him. Was there blood
anywhere? Did he get blood on anything?

don't know. Was there blood on the road
or... I don't remember.

Did you look? I looked, but I just
don't... I mean, it was all...

Honey, it's going to snow.

It's going to snow, and everything's
going to be covered up, all the tracks,

everything. He was apparently trying to
cross along this bank of snow when his

snowmobile slipped over the edge,
throwing him into the icy waters of

Creek. Wright County deputies recovered
the body shortly before 4 o 'clock this

afternoon, a tragic beginning to this
new year for one local family.

Back to you, Paul.

Thanks, Tracy.

Playful pooches or killer canines. In
this case, it seems to depend on who

you're talking to.

Oh, is that Uncle Jacob?

Oh, I wish you still thought that he did
it.

Did it scare you?

Yeah, it scares me. What if he tells
somebody?

I mean what I did.

What you did?

Well, I know that you only did it
because you felt trapped, that you

find any other way.

Would you have done the same thing?

I mean, if you'd been there instead of
me.

Oh, honey.

You

listening

to me, Hank?

Every Monday I come down here, buy two
bags of feed, a regular's clockwork.

Two bags a week, four times a month.

That's eight bags I'm supposed to be
billed for.

I don't know how else to get through to
you. The timber started on a Monday, Mr.

Schmidt, so there were five Mondays in
the month. Are you telling me there were

five weeks last month? No, sir, I'm
telling you there were five, five

Excuse me.

Oh, I got it.

Yeah. Hey, Hank, it's me.

Hang on a second.

Listen, check that calendar over there
if you don't believe me, sir.

I need to talk to you. Well, I'm a
little busy right now, Jacob. What is

Listen, can you meet me at the farm?

What farm? Our farm.

Look, what is it? On your lunch break,
1230, okay?

Are we straight on this, Mr. Smith?

Thanks for coming in.

Look, I can't drive out there right now.

Jacob?

Jacob? Hey!

What are you doing here?

Look out!

What the hell are you dragging me out
here for? Listen to this. I'm going to

it back.

I'm going to fix it up. I'm going to
rebuild it just like it was before Mom

Dad died. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Come on.
Wait, wait. We've been through all this.

We've been over this.

Once we split up the money, we've got to
leave. We have to go.

What do you want me to do?

Just like that? Just drive off by
myself?

Well, I mean, suppose you stay.

I mean, where are you going to tell
people you got the money?

That's easy.

We just tell people that Sarah inherited
some money. It's easy.

You know, nobody around here knows
anything about her family.

You guys could have just bought the
farm, you know, and then left me to run

It's not going to work.

I thought this was going to make you
happy.

Jacob.

Farming? Come on.

You don't just buy a farm.

You've got to work it.

You've got to know about machinery and
seed.

I know that.

How do you know?

Fertilizers, pesticides, herbicide,
drainage, irrigation, the weather. Come

you don't know about any of that stuff.

You're going to end up just like Dad.

Why do you think he ended up like that?
I'll tell you how he ended up like that.

He had two mortgages riding on the
place. He couldn't make the payments.

Where do you think the money went?

He was a bad businessman. Where do you
think the money went? No, you think he

spent it all on the farm?

I'll tell you exactly where the money
went. Four years of college, bud.

Yeah, didn't you ever think about how he
paid for that? Didn't that ever occur

to you?

No, my tuition was... Listen, I'm
supposed to get the farm.

What do I get?

I'm supposed to get the farm.

You got the whole world. You can...

I don't want to hear that.

You can go anywhere you want.

This is what I want.

This is where I want to be.

This is my home, Hank.

I want to show you something.

What is it? I got this. I had it sent
over from the other branch. Here it is.

Harris's body ID by Fed.

$4 .4 million ransom.

You see?

As far as anybody knows, it's just
disappeared right into thin air.

Do you recognize one of them from the
plane?

I can't tell.

His face was...

I can't say it isn't stealing anymore.

Well, Hank, it's always been stealing.
We just didn't know we were stealing

funds. Yeah, we thought it was drug
money. We thought it was money that we

find. No, you thought that. This is
good. I'm glad that we know where it's

It's good?

Yes, it's good we know where it's from
because I was starting to get worried. I

thought that it might be counterfeit or
marked or something like that. It might

still be marked. No, it says right here.

Silk.

Sarah, would you come here, please?

Sure. Okay. Just a second.

Hey, come on, Hank. Open up.

What the hell are you doing here? Hey,
Mr. accountant.

Well, I've come to make a tiny
withdrawal.

Go home. Turn around and go home right
now. Oh, come on. It's freezing out

Hank, invite me in.

All right, just for a second.

Hey, I don't have time for this shit.
I've got to get up and go to work.

I want my share.

What?

I do. I do. I want my share.

the money here and even if i did i
wouldn't give you any oh come on now

just because you have it doesn't mean
it's yours part of that is my money part

of it might be your money if we decide
to keep it the plan was to sit on the

money till we decide that it's safe to
keep it what are you coming over all

right look i'll tell you what just just
give me just give me one packet okay

just just one packet you know i'll come
back later for the rest

Ask me again and I'll go burn it
tomorrow morning.

Is that clear?

Bluff. What?

Yeah, it's a bluff.

B -L -U -F -F.

Oh, well, then why don't you call it
then and just see what happens?

Yeah, all right. Yeah, go ahead. See,
Jacob told me a little secret, Mr.

Accountant.

I know what happened to Dwight
Stevenson.

You drink too much.

I want one of those packets.

Well, I told you, I don't have the money
here.

I hid it away from the house.

You know what? It'd be a shame if
somebody was to drop a note to Carl

saying, there might just be a little
something suspicious about Dwight

Stevenson's accident.

I mean, he just drove off that bridge. I
mean, do you believe that? Do you?

You're a thief too.

We're all in this together.

If one of us goes to jail, we all do.

I need my share.

I'm broke.

And I owe people money.

What's that?

Oh, Christ, Lenny. I need some help
here, man.

Okay, just wait here.

$40? That's all I got.

Maybe I can go to the bank and get you a
loan out of our savings.

Look, look, look.

The money's a day's drive from here.

Even if I wanted to go get it, I can't
go get it, not until Sarah has the baby.

A day's drive?

Yeah, that's right. I put it in a
storage locker up off the interstate.

hell is it doing in a storage locker?
It's saved, don't worry. All right.

I didn't want it near us in case we come
under any suspicion.

Well, how the hell's that gonna happen?
Well, how's that gonna happen? How about

Carl knowing about the plane, huh?

Whose idea was that?

Yeah.

All right.

But we go get it as soon as she's done.

I said, whoa.

I'm looking for Hank and Sarah. I'm
sorry.

Oh, God.

Look at that.

Hello. Do you have a car seat in the car
you'll be traveling home in? Yes.

Hello.

Look who's here.

Oh, hey, hey, hey.

Marrying tidings and gifts and great
joy.

Sign here.

What do you mean gambling? Gambling
where? At the casino. We lost some

How much?

I don't know how much.

Hey, congratulations.

Thank you.

Congratulations. Did you see that little
baby? He looked like a little tomato.

How could you have told him that, huh?

Come on.

I put myself out for you. What do you
do? You betray me?

What are you talking about?

What am I talking about? It's like
there's two sides now.

Why are you both always talking about
sides?

There's no sides.

I'm on both of your sides.

We're all in this together, man.

No,

I don't. Why would I want to pick?

No, I want to know.

Good grief, man.

I pick you. You're my brother.

I bought a present for the baby.

I brought it from the house. I didn't
buy it. But look, it's kind of cool.

trust me on this one. You're going to
like it, I think, when you see what it

Let me see that.

Oh, my gosh. This was his.

Oh, you were kids.

Oh, I guess that's Caterham then, isn't
it? Buddy the Bear.

Oh,

pretty.

Oh, pretty.

Got her?

She's just about ready for her feeding.
Oh, did you grab that thing? Thank you

so much.

Hello, little girl.

Hello.

She's hungry.

I want you to buy one of those little
tape recorders.

You know, the little dictating kind? The
kind you can hide in your pocket.

Why do you want a tape recorder?

You're going to tape Luke confessing to
Stevenson's murder.

What? What are you talking about?

takes a turn pretending how you do it.

You go first.

Jacob second and Lou last, and when Lou
goes, you tame him.

Come on, that's not gonna work.

Jacob helps you. That's the key.

If Jacob eggs him on, he'll do it.

Yeah, but even if he, you know, if he
talks on the tape, it won't mean

I mean, who's ever gonna believe it?

Well, that doesn't matter.

As long as Lou believes it.

As long as he sees that Jacob's taking
your side.

Come on, it's not like I'm asking you to
do that much. Here, just pick up the

phone and give him a call and say, Hey,
Lou, Hank suggested we go out drinking

tomorrow night. Hank suggested we go out
drinking? What are you talking about?

Will you let me finish? We suggest we go
out drinking. You don't ever suggest we

go out drinking. I'm getting to that.
Let me finish. I'm saying, tell him I've

agreed to split up the money.

I thought it would be a good idea for us
to go out and celebrate first.

So you want me to trick him? You want me
to trick Lou?

You want me to trick my friend?

Okay. Do you get what's happening here?

Do you understand the fears of the
situation we're in? He can put us both

jail, Jacob.

He's not going to send us to jail.

I can't take that chance.

Not now.

Not with the baby.

I can't afford to go to prison, Jacob.

What about Sarah?

Huh?

What are they going to do?

I'm going to have to get rid of that
Christmas tree out here. It's too dry.

It's going to start a fire.

Would you pay attention here? Pay
attention.

What would Dad do? I've got things to
think about. What would Dad want us to

Don't bring him, Dad. Don't you think
he'd want us to stick together? Don't

that. I mean, you don't know what the
hell Dad would do. That's fucked up.

bring him up.

Well, what if I was to say I'd...

Help you get the farm back, huh?

All right.

I'll help you buy back the farm.

But you gotta help me first.

You know, all I meant by that about the
tree is just to dry it out. It could

start a fucking fire. You know how that
stuff goes.

It wasn't like I was trying to ignore
you or something like that. I was just,

you know, I was talking about practical
shit to you is all it was.

Honey? Oh, hey. Hey, Sarah.

Hey, Jacob.

I'll take my shoes off for you later on.
Thank you. Hold on. What?

It's a nice shirt.

Ta -da!

I invited him for dinner.

Oh. Oh, good.

Good, good.

Okay.

So he's going to do it?

I had to promise him before.

What? No, I thought you said we agreed
that you were going to say something.

Where's he supposed to go, Sarah, huh?

I mean, what's he going to do?

Drive away?

I mean... I don't know, honey.

I don't know, but if he stays...

I know, that's not what I'm saying. I
just...

I just wish she could, that's all.

No, no, but you remember what she did.

She was so freaked out that she called
the volunteer fire department.

And they really came out.

Oh, yeah, and that was all of Dad's
buddies. It was all his drinking

That's all the volunteer fire department
was was guys he knew.

So they show up.

And he's sitting there in the kitchen
with an ice pack on his face.

That's ridiculous. He felt like an idiot
because they were all gathered in there

like there's some huge emergency going
on. You know?

Listen, like a walkie -talkie, sir. Kind
of like a baby walkie -talkie. Yeah,

yeah. Cool.

Remember we had that thing we did with
those walkie -talkies? Oh, yeah. We got

that kit for Christmas.

Remember that?

Yeah.

Yeah,

it's weird. I think about that stuff.

It's kind of weird to talk about. You
remember everything, too, don't you?

Well, yeah. I was always talking to Dad.

I know you are.

what was going on, you know. I was
always nervous about shit, you know, I

But I tell you what, he's a... If he had
the steel like we got going on right

now, you know, he would have done the
same thing. I don't know.

I guess so.

I mean, he had... We always wanted to
get everything set up, you know what I

mean? He always wanted to have enough to
just take care of things and relax, you

know. Yeah.

He never quite had that, so...

I guarantee you if he had this, he'd
still be here. He would have never done

that.

Done what?

Killing himself, you know.

Just wouldn't have happened.

What?

What are you talking about?

I think Dad killed himself. You know
that.

What? What are you talking about?

Come on, what are you talking about?
They were drunk. They had a rest.

That's on Jacksboro Road. That's like
that ramp where he went every day. He

don't go down the wrong way on a ramp
like that.

He'd been on that thing 8 ,000 times a
year, you know?

You think all of a sudden he forgot his
way?

Good grief.

He figured that, you know, insurance
money would take care of the whole deal,

and he wanted to...

You know.

No, no. What?

You know that, Hank.

Think about it.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, well,
maybe I misjudged you, Hank.

Because, I mean, you're a bit more, I
don't know, let's say,

serious than a guy like me. And, you
know, maybe sometimes you

can come across like you sort of got to
think up your ass.

I mean, to someone who doesn't really
know you. To someone who can't get

that first impression.

Okay, okay, maybe.

Maybe sometime, well, I can come up a
little bit like that.

No, come on. No, no, no, no, no. I know
what I'm talking about.

Well, fuck it.

It's all in the past, right?

What do you say?

Sounds good to me.

Hell yes.

Live and let live.

Don't look at me

like that.

Jerk.

What,

you think that's funny?

What, huh? I'm asking you, you think
it's funny tripping a guy on the way to

fucking camp? Look, buddy. Oh, don't
buddy me. See,

then right here is my buddy.

He said, well, you know what?

The guy was okay until he twisted his
head back around, and then he just

died.

Get it?

Get it? I got one. Oh, shit.

This old drunk was telling jokes to his
two drunk friends, and he was keeping up

his wife, who, unlike him, had a job to
go to in the morning.

So, see, she gets so fucking fed up, she
comes down... and she says if he

doesn't shut up, he's going to have to
find some other place to live rent

Did you get that one?

Yeah, guys.

Come on, what are you waiting for? I
don't want to be here all night. Let's

this over with.

I'm going to do it, Hank.

It's not fair.

It's not right.

Just keep it down a little bit.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. You know
how it is.

What the fuck's wrong with you, Hank?

You see, Hank takes a drink of that
whiskey.

It's like... Like fucking, you know,
like... What is it? Like a...

I don't believe I've ever seen anybody
drink like that.

I don't drink like that.

My dad didn't drink like that.

You know, we don't have one thing in
common, me and him.

Except maybe our last name.

You're more like a brother to me than he
is.

Oh.

Do him cross in the field.

Do it.

He won't care. Come on. You don't care,
do you, Hank?

Hey guys, come on, you know, hey, wait,
wait up, wait up, wait for me, I can't,

I'm not dressed right, you know, wear
your little pussy loafers.

you know we should we should never let
him keep the money no i'm not

shitting we should we should have done
that didn't ever let him keep that money

look how he's looking at us like he's
fucking better

Like you own us or something. I think
we've all had too much to drink. Let's

call it a night. You're going to keep
the money.

That's what you wanted.

You wanted me to pick sides.

You know what you said?

What are you talking about?

You know what he's going to do.

He's gonna he's gonna crawl into Carl's
office like on his belly like a fucking

snake. He's gonna end up confessing No,

we got so we got something else for you
Hank.

Let's see what let's do this Let's do
it. Let's do more play acting. Let's do

where he is. We're

Hank confesses, okay, to Carl, all
right? It's going to be cool.

You be Hank and I'll be Carl. No, you do
it. No, you do it.

You go out and be Hank, like you knock
on Carl's door. I can't do it, Mike.

you're fucked up, you're funny as shit.
Come on, do it, man.

And you're knocking on the door, and I'm
just like sitting here doing paperwork,

and dumbass comes in, okay?

Dumbass comes in with his tail between
his legs, okay?

Okay, here, I'm coming in.

Ready? Okay.

Mitchell It's about Dwight Stevenson,
yeah, he didn't die in an accident

What are you talking about? No, no, I
killed him you killed Dwight

Stevens. That's right

I suffocated him with his own scarf, and
then I just shoved him off the bridge

into Ender's Creek.

I made it look like an accident.

Well, why would you do something like
that?

$4 .5 million is worth a hell of a lot
more to me than some old man's life.

No, I'm up to the part where you're
going to agree to testify against us,

Can I just do that?

Come on. I killed him.

you taped this i made it look like an
accident

why would you

do that hank your confession it's you
saying how you killed dwight stevenson

nobody's gonna believe that i mean i
mean it's obvious i'm just kidding

on there isn't it jay why would why
would anybody believe it i mean Let's

think about this. If you and I both go
into Carl's office tomorrow afternoon

we both claim the other one killed
Dwight Stevens, who do you think he's

to believe, huh? You?

A 40 -year -old unemployed high school
dropout who's proud when people call him

the town drunk or me?

I've got a job.

I don't get drunk and scream obscenities
at my wife in public.

I don't pass out in other people's
doorways.

I wonder who he's going to believe.

in the same boat again.

Isn't that right, Jacob?

You seem to have forgotten that we're
all in this together.

Yeah, that's all it is. That's all it
is. You know what? It's not to hurt you.

mean, that's what Hank said.

It's just so you don't hurt him.

That's right.

And it's like, it's in case you confess.

Wait a minute.

Are you telling me you knew about this,
Jacob?

Take it easy. You're saying you knew
about this? Is that what you're saying

here, Jacob? That you two were together?

He said he'd help me buy back the farm,
Lou.

Oh!

Oh!

So that's cool, right?

Lou, please.

Hey, Lou, please don't be pissed off.

Yo, we were just kind of... Move,

move, move.

Don't move!

What the hell are you doing?

It was an accident. It was an accident.

He killed him. He got drunk. He went
crazy. It was an accident.

Hello, yes, there's been a shooting.

Hank Mitchell.

I'm at Lou Chambers' place, County Road
27, just past the burnt road.

They're both... They're both dead!

Oh! Oh, God! Oh, God, please hurry!

Jacob? Jacob?

Hey, what are you doing?

Huh?

Come on, are you going to be okay?

Mom, you make this work. We don't have
much time.

I have to say very carefully, okay?

They were fighting, okay?

They were both drunk.

And Lou started pushing Nancy around.

When we tried to stop him, he got really
pissed off and he grabbed his shotgun.

And she ran in the kitchen and got her
pistol.

We ran out to your truck and got your
rifle.

By the time we got back to the house, it
was too late. He'd already shot her.

He was shooting up the whole place.

The ceilings, the walls, everything.

And when we stepped in the doorway, he
shot at me, but he missed.

So he aimed the shotgun at my chest.

And just before he pulled the trigger,
you killed him.

You saved my life.

You see?

It was self -defense.

Come on, Jacob.

I need to hear you say it.

And what did we do?

We ran out to the truck.

You ran outside with Jacob?

Because Jacob said he went out to get
his rifle on his own. He said...

He said Lou ran you out of the house
after he shot Nancy.

Jacob said that?

Huh.

Well, I suppose I can see how it might
have seemed that way to him.

Because he did go out to the truck
alone.

I followed him, but then when I heard
the shot,

my Nancy got killed.

I turned back toward the house.

I was on the porch when Lou started
outside.

And that's when I turned to run out into
the yard.

So... I get... I can see

how it might have seemed that way to
Jacob that I was running outside.

Yeah.

Go home, Hank. I think we've got what we
need for right now.

May they rest in peace. And may their
souls and the souls of all the faithful

departed, through the mercy of God, rest
in peace.

Ooh, I think the little lady's ready to
come out.

Look

at

that thing.

It's Carl.

Hey, Carl.

I hope I didn't wake you, Hank. I saw
the light was still on, so... Oh, no,

just getting ready for bed.

I hate like hell to have to do this to
you, Hank.

I was driving out by Lou Chambers'
place, and I saw your brother's truck

out in the middle of the road.

I could barely squeeze around it.

I found him inside the house, passed out
in an armchair. Oh, no, well, I

appreciate you bringing him here.

I mean, I hope it wasn't too much.

I know you guys had a real rough time.
Just have a talk with him, okay?

And I'll try to keep an eye on him, too.

Come on, what the hell were you thinking
about, huh?

That's the last place in the world you
ought to be.

God, I still had a... Heart attack when
Carl knocked on the door.

We gotta be careful.

Can't take any chances.

Get yourself over?

Go ahead.

I don't think I should be here in the
baby's room. It's clean in here.

Come on.

Okay, the baby sleeps with us.

Hey, remember this.

Everything goes to sleep.

Your head goes to sleep. Remember my dad
used to do that?

Your head goes to sleep.

Your shoulders go to sleep.

Your arms go to sleep.

Your back goes to sleep.

Thank dear, I feel evil.

You know, maybe I can get a family of my
own now.

Only with the money and all.

Why don't you think somebody would marry
me if I'm rich?

You don't need money for that, Hank.

Hey, come on. What about, uh... What was
her name?

Carrie Richards?

She liked you even though you were a
broke dick.

Yeah.

That was a whole different deal.

Her friends, they pitched in 100 bucks
altogether and bet her that she wouldn't

go study with me for a month.

Jesus, Jacob.

I... I thought you guys had a thing.

That wasn't that bad.

Actually, it was kind of cool.

We used to walk around together a lot,
you know, take a walk, you know.

And we talked about all kinds of cool
stuff.

I held hands with her one time.

We were walking around, and my hand
sweated so much, I kind of had to let it

I was nervous, I guess.

but it was cool when the month was over
she uh you know kind of she'd say hi to

me sometimes on the hallway when i'd see
her she didn't have to do that

that's cool of her god

hang on you know i've never i've never
even kissed a girl before

If being rich will change that, I'm all
for it.

I don't care.

I just want to feel it.

I just want to know what people do.

I don't care if it's because of the
money.

Hey, I'm going to be happy now, right?

Sure you are.

We all are.

Yeah. That's right, we all are.

You know what?

I'm going to buy back the farm, you
know, and have a lot of kids because

I'll meet this nice girl. She'll be
really cool to me. She'll be really

Just a normal, normal woman, you know.

And then you and Sarah will come over
and bring Amanda.

And we'll all sit around and tell
stories and stuff. We'll drink out on

porch like Dad and Uncle Ted used to do.

Need to nod off on you, Jack.

Hey, Carl.

Getting a bit thin up top there, Hank.

Don't you have any crimes to solve?

Maybe.

Think you could track down Jacob, bring
him by my office tomorrow afternoon?

Sure. What for?

A man from the FBI is going to be
driving through.

Thought you two might be able to help
him out.

Seems you're looking for a lost plane.

See you about three.

You bet.

You should just leave.

Take the money, the baby, and just leave
the country. Stop it, Hank.

You'll go in there and just see what he
knows.

If anything looks bad, we can always
burn the money. You're the only thing

a family. The connections were just
under the surface.

I mean, think about it. It wouldn't be
that hard for somebody to just put it

together.

There's the plane and Stevenson.

There's Lou and Nancy. You've got to
remember how people see you.

You're just a normal guy, a nice, sweet,
normal guy. They're gonna know!

No, they won't!

Nobody would ever believe that you'd be
capable of doing what you've done.

Well, it was snowing pretty hard, so
we're not really sure, but it sounded

of like an engine cutting on and off.

But that was it. We didn't hear anything
more. No.

No crash, no engine, nothing.

Anything you want to add to that, Jacob?

No. I can't think of anything. It's
about it.

It's really a snowmobile.

Well, I guess that's it, guys.

Thanks for coming.

My pleasure, Carl.

Good to see you, Carl. Nice to meet you.
I'll talk to you later.

You think you can take it down there?

To the nature preserve?

Have to go in the morning, I guess.

After the storm passes.

Can you tell us what this is all about?

Looking for a plane?

There's no way it's from an armored car
robbery.

This isn't a guess, honey. The guy from
the FBI told me.

It doesn't make sense.

The kidnapping made sense.

He's looking for a plane full of money.
I mean, how many of those can there be

around here?

They're $100 bills, Hank. If it was an
armored car robbery, there'd be other

denominations. There'd be 50s and 20s
and 10s. Well, congratulations, Sarah.

I guess you know more than the FBI.

Did he show you his badge?

Why would he show me his badge?

It's him, isn't it?

It's the older one, Vernon.

He's looking for his brother.

The guy I met today was skinnier.

He didn't have a beard.

Well, maybe he lost weight. Maybe he
shaved.

Well, it doesn't make a difference, does
it?

I mean, no matter who he is, I still
have to take him to the plane.

Well, if we think it's him, you
shouldn't go.

Why not?

Because he's going to shoot all three of
you, Hank.

As soon as he sees the plane, that's why
he wants you to go.

So he can get rid of the witnesses.

But if he's really from the FBI, and
then I don't show up, it's going to look

suspicious as hell.

I'll call the FBI in the morning.

I'll ask for an agent Baxter.

That won't work. I'm meeting him at
nine. They won't be open before then.

Well, you can stall them for a bit.

And I'll call from here, and then I'll
call you at Carl's office.

And what if there's no agent Baxter?
Then what?

Well, then you won't go.

You can tell Carl that the baby's sick
and that you have to come home.

What about Jacob?

Say, he's hungover. Carla believed that.

Whoever the guy is, you don't want Jacob
there.

It sounds like a BS excuse.

Hank, what do you want? What do you
want? Do you want to just walk out there

get shot by this guy?

No, I don't want to walk out there and
get shot.

Well, I'm trying to come up with a plan.
A plan?

Yeah. Like the one to take the money
back to the plane and we end up killing

Stevenson?

Or maybe the one where we tape Lou and
two more people end up dead.

Is that the sort of plan you're thinking
of?

Well, I've got a plan.

I'm taking the money back right now. All
of it. Hank. No.

Hank. I'm going to put it back and
everything's going to be just like it

be.

Is that what you think? Is that what you
think you want?

Walking off to the feed store every
morning for the next 30 years waiting

Tom Butler to retire or die so you can
finally get...

What about Amanda?

You think she's going to like growing up
in somebody else's hand -me -down

clothes? Playing with some kid's old
toys because we can never afford to buy

anything new?

Don't say any more.

And me?

What about me?

Spending the rest of my life eight hours
a day with a fake smile plastered on my

face.

Checking out books.

And then coming home to cook dinner for
you.

The same meals over and over again.
Whatever the week's coupons will allow.

Only going out to restaurants for
special occasions.

Birthdays or anniversaries. And even
then having to watch what we order.

Skipping the appetizer. Coming home for
dessert.

You think that's going to make me happy?

No, no. I haven't done Jacob yet.

It's back to the welfare office for
Jacob.

The occasional odd job.

But with Lou gone now, just himself and
his dog all alone in that filthy

apartment, how long do you give him,
Hank? Stop it!

I would like to speak to... Is there an
Agent Neil Baxter there?

Well, if Jacob can't make it, that just
leaves more of Linda's homemade

breakfast treats to go around.

Here you go. Have one of those.

That's our own special creation there.

Deep -fried dietetic donuts.

It's so inedible, you won't be able to
get enough of it down to be bad for you.

Hey, this guy, uh, you know, this guy,
Baxter, he show you his badge or

anything?

Badge?

Yeah, it's kind of stupid, but I, you
know, always wondered if they look like

they do in the movies.

Yeah, and how's that?

Oh, you know, kind of bright and silver
with a big FBI stamped across the

center. Not really.

He showed you his?

Well, no, but I've seen him before.

Well, you know, I bet he'd show it to
you if you'd just ask him, Hank.

Hell, he might even let you hold his gun
if you ask him real nice.

You know what?

Later on, I could take you for a ride in
my truck and make the lights flash for

you.

Yeah. Carl? Yes. It's Sarah. Hi, I'm
looking for Hank. Is he there? Yes, ma

You found him. He's standing right here.
He's trying to avoid eating one of my

wife's homemade donuts.

Oh. How's the baby?

Well, she's not doing so good. That's
part of what I'm calling to tell him

about. Oh, I'm sorry. Well, you probably
better tell him that yourself, okay?

All right. All right, you take care.
Thank you. Yes, you may.

Hi, honey.

It's him.

What? It's him, Hank.

Come home. You've got to get out of
there.

Hank?

I've got to stay.

What do you mean you've got to stay?
Well, you agreed that if I called you,

you were going to come home.

What about Carl?

I don't know. Tell Carl.

Tell him to give the guy the directions
and that you two will meet him there

later.

Everybody ready to roll?

Hank, he's going to shoot you both.
Ready to roll.

Yeah.

Hank.

Huh.

Yeah. Well, they're waiting for me,
baby. I got to go.

How's your sleep?

Hank, you come home, okay? Please, baby.
Sarah.

Okay. Wait, Hank.

Yeah, I'll see you then.

Hank. Okay, yeah.

Yeah, I'll see you then.

God damn it, don't.

I love you, too.

Everything okay?

Oh, yeah, you know, just some confusion
about this evening's plans.

Where's your brother?

Oh, Jacob won't be joining us this
morning. It seems he tied one on again

night.

Ready when you are, Hank. Good. Let's
go.

I'll catch up with you guys. Go get it.
It's cold out there. Yeah.

You saw that truck right around the
corner, didn't you?

This is a play tank. I'm pretty sure of
it.

Look, right there is that nature
preserve sign. That's where you guys

I guess you're right, but I thought it
was a little further down.

Just, you know... And you know, if it
was all far over on that side, that's

farmland over there. Those farmers
probably would have found it by now. The

bet's got to be over here in the nature
preserve.

So I think the best idea is each of us
take a different section of the woods.

I'm betting for Jacob.

Let's make things go faster.

Bring your rifle.

We'll take a different section of the
woods. If you or I find it, Baxter,

just fire a couple of shots into the
air. And, Hank, you take that whistle.

And if you find it, just blow it loud as
you can. We'll all come running.

Okay, okay.

Ugh!

Where the fuck is the rest?

So you had a piece, huh?

But you're not the cold -blooded type,
are you, Mr. Mitchell?

Looks like we're both going to have an
awful lot of explaining to do.

Just me.

Jacob!

Hank?

It's okay.

Don't. Don't, don't. Baby.

You're gonna mess it up. Mess it up?

Just leave him be.

Okay.

You understand what we gotta say?

Huh?

We're going to tell him that Carl lent
me the gun to signal if I found the

plane.

And when I saw Baxter shoot him... We
can't do this.

What do you mean we can't?

We're going to have to tell him
ourselves.

No, we don't.

We can't.

No. No.

No, this is going to work. Not anymore.

Yeah, that's going to work.

It's perfect.

Come on, Jacob.

We just got to get through the next
couple hours, and then we're home.

We're home free.

I want to be happy.

I want a wife and kids.

Me and you sitting around the porch
drinking late at night.

Well, God damn it, this is what it
caused.

Right here, right now.

Come on.

Come on.

Let's go over this again.

Make sure we haven't overlooked
anything.

I wish somebody else had found that
money. Well, they didn't. I quit.

Okay.

Baxter came down here.

Came up behind Carl.

I was over there.

Yeah, and you were in the woods. Yeah.

Yeah.

It's gonna work.

It's gonna work, yeah.

What are we doing?

I'll put this back.

Make it look like the bad guy did it,
Hank.

And I don't care.

It's okay with me. I'm not afraid.

I'm not afraid. It's perfect.

Stop that, Jacob. It's perfect.

No. Come on, Hank. Let me do something.

This is the only thing. I don't want to
sit around the rest of my life and think

about this shit. I can't do it. Sit on
the porch and drink. I can't do it, so

you're going to have to do it. A couple
more hours. You can do this, and it's

going to be perfect for you.

And you got something to go on for,
Hank, and you know it.

I don't want to be here.

Come on, Hank.

Let me do something.

You just tell a little girl that the
bear is from me.

You know?

If you love me, Hank, you'll do it.

I'll give you a chance. I won't look at
you.

I won't look at you, Hank. But if you
don't do it, then I'm going to do it.

then we're both going to be fucked,
aren't we?

And we don't need to both be fucked.

I'll do it, Hank. If you don't do it,
I'm telling you I will.

Boy, it's funny, but if I'm in this
fucking plane, wasn't it?

To someone who's been properly trained,
there are many ways to detect a liar.

The shifty eyes of detective novels have
a certain basis in fact.

A wooden or stilted tone.

Gestures that seem either slightly
robotic or unnecessarily expansive.

Details tend to be vague, slippery.

Sometimes a suspect will cover his mouth
with his hand when he speaks.

Did you notice anything like that in the
guy you shot today?

He was lying to you, Mr. Mitchell. He
wasn't from the FBI.

His name was Vernon McConaughey. His
brother was in that crash plane you

out there today.

McConaughey and his brother were the
guys who kidnapped Edmund Martin. I

remember.

Remember the one they shot and dumped in
the lake?

$4 .4 million in ransom money.

Want to touch it?

Go ahead.

Pretty hefty.

It's only part of it, of course. We're
still tracking down the rest. It's just

matter of time.

A matter of time?

Well, we had the money for two hours
before the kidnappers picked it up.

We couldn't mark it. We were afraid
they'd detect the markings and kill the

girl. So we put together a task force of
20 agents, and they wrote down as many

of the serial numbers as they could.

We managed to record just under 5 ,000
of them. That's one out of ten of the

bills.

Now it's simply a matter of waiting for
the numbers to turn up.

You can't go around passing $100 bills
without eventually sticking it in

someone's memory.

No, no.

No, hey.

Hey, hey.

Hey, we can run with it. We can leave
the country. We can go to South America

to Australia or someplace far away.

There are days when I manage not to
think of anything at all.

Not the money.

Or the murders.

Or Jacob.

Days when Sarah and I try to pretend
that we're just like everyone else.

As if none of it had ever happened.

But those days are few and far between.
