[ Woman ]
I REALIZE IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT...

THE SPRINKLER
FLOODED YOUR BASEMENT WHILE YOU WERE IN HAWAII.

WE JUST NEED TO GET
AN APPRAISER OUT THERE TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE.

YES, WE CAN HAVE
SOMEONE OUT THERE BETWEEN 8:00 AND 12:00 TOMORROW.

THANK YOU.

- HERE YOU GO.
- AH, THANK YOU, BINNY.

THAT MAN TAKES
THE LONGEST LUNCH HOURS I'VE EVER KNOWN.

I THINK HE SAID
HE WAS TAKING A CLIENT TO LUNCH.

I WONDER WHAT HE WAS
REALLY HAVING FOR LUNCH, IF YOU CATCH MY DRIFT.

YOU KNOW, HONEY,
I'M SURE YOU HAVE SOME BRIGHT IDEAS ON SOME SUBJECTS,

BUT WHAT YOUR BOSS
DOES AT LUNCH ISN'T ONE OF THEM.

I HIRED YOU TO FILE THAT
STACK OF FORMS ON YOUR DESK, NOT THOSE NAILS OF YOURS.

CATCH MY DRIFT?

[ Scoffs ]
WHATEVER.

[ Sighs ]

OH, I COULD
REALLY USE A DRINK.

YOU WANT TO DO THE HONORS?

WHAT ABOUT YOUR DAY?
WHAT'D YOU DO FOR DINNER?

MISSY HAD SOME OF HER FRIENDS
FROM SCHOOL OVER HERE AGAIN.

SMOKING POT.
DOING LORD KNOWS WHAT ELSE.

HOUSE SMELLED LIKE
THE MARRAKESH EXPRESS WHEN I CAME HOME.

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU
WERE JOHNNY APPLESEED IN HIGH SCHOOL.

NO, I WASN'T.

THAT'D BE
A PRETTY GOOD NICKNAME FOR THAT BOYFRIEND OF HERS.

I HAVE A FEELING HE LEFT
SOME OF HIS AROUND HERE.

OH, THAT'S SICK.

YOU'D NEVER TALK LIKE THAT
IF SHE WERE YOUR DAUGHTER.

YOU KNOW--

I'M NOT GOING TO SIT HERE
AND HEAR YOU CRUCIFY HER.

[ Tool Ratcheting ]

GET ME THE 11/16, SON.
OKAY.

HERE, DAD.

GET ME A BEER.

DAD WANTS A BEER.

SHIT-- I MEAN, SHOOT.
WE'RE OUT.

YOU ARE SO DEAD.
HE'S GONNA THROW A SHIT-FIT.

- DON'T TALK LIKE THAT.
- SORRY.

CAN YOU TELL HIM, MOM?

SURE, HONEY, I'LL TELL HIM.

THANKS.

[ Sighs ]

MOM FORGOT
TO GET THE BEER.

HONEY, I'LL RUN OUT
AND GET SOME RIGHT NOW, OKAY?

I'LL BE BACK
BEFORE YOU EVEN KNOW IT. HOW'S THAT HAPPEN?

WHAT GOOD DOES THAT DO?
I WANT ONE NOW. OW!

LET'S GO, JESSE.
GET MY BEER. DON'T YOU DARE--

DO WHAT?
HUH?

COME ON, BOY.
I'M THIRSTY. [ Growls ]

[ Clears Throat ]

- WHAT HAPPENED, HOLLY?
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOUR LIP, HOLLY.
IT LOOKS LIKE ROCKY MARCIANO'S.

ALLERGIC REACTION.
THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR BUYING FRUIT OUT OF SEASON.

I'M GUESSING
IT'S THE SEASON FOR HITTING WIVES.

IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.

LOOK, YOU AND JESSE
CAN STAY WITH ME TILL YOU GET ON YOUR FEET.

THANKS, BUT I
CAN HANDLE IT MYSELF.

- I THOUGHT I COULD TOO.
- [ Door Opens ]

GOOD MORNING, LADIES.
[ Binny ] MORNING.

WHERE'S BRENDA?
LATE.

AGAIN?
DO YOU WANT ME TO TALK TO HER?

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
ALL RIGHT, TELL HER IT'S THE LAST TIME.

I MEAN IT, BINNY.
CAN'T HAVE THIS.

- HOW ARE YOU DOING
THIS MORNING, HOLLY? - I'M FINE.

&
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU, BRENDA. WHAT?

OUT IN THE HALL.
WHAT DID I DO NOW?

LET'S GO. COME ON.
THIS IS SO UNFAIR.

[ Scoffs ]

OH, HERE IT IS.
RIGHT THERE.

$40,000?
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

I TOLD YOU
THIS WAS THE YEAR WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY THE PIPER.

WE WERE GOING
TO HAVE TO PAY?

YOU HAVE AN EXTRA
$40,000 LYING AROUND? 'CAUSE I SURE AS HELL DON'T.

YOU KNOW AS WELL AS ANYBODY
HOW TIGHT IT'S BEEN AROUND HERE.

LISTEN, I WARNED YOU
TO PUT SOME CASH INTO SOMETHING.

I SAT RIGHT HERE IN THIS CHAIR
AND I TOLD YOU THIS DAY WAS GOING TO COME.

[ Sighs ]
OH, HUTCH.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT
LETTING SOMEBODY GO? YOU COULD SAVE SOME PAYROLL.

BINNY'S BEEN WITH ME
SINCE DAY ONE,

AND HOLLY'S A BIG HIT
WITH THE CUSTOMERS.

WHAT ABOUT THE--
YOU KNOW, THE OTHER ONE?

FIRING BRENDA'S BIG TITS
AIN'T GOING TO GET ME 40 GRAND.

[ Sighs ]
WHAT ABOUT RACHEL? CAN SHE HELP?

NO. RACHEL SINKS
MOST OF HER SALARY INTO ]MISSY'S COLLEGE FUND.

YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW MUCH IT TAKES TO SEND A KID TO COLLEGE THESE DAYS?

OH, LISTEN,
I GOT TWO KIDS AT STATE. I KNOW. IT'S A BITCH.

BESIDES, WE'RE NOT
GETTING ALONG REAL WELL.

- OH, WELL--
- WELL--

I-- I'LL SEE YA.

[ Clears Throat ]

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?
OH, FORGOT TO TAKE MY SMART PILL.

I WALKED INTO
A COTTON BACKHAND.

JESUS CHRIST.
I AM LOSING MY TOUCH.

I CAN USUALLY
ANTICIPATE THE BLOW.

BUT WHAT THREW ME
FOR A LOOP THIS TIME, HE WAS SOBER.

[ Sighs ]
WHAT A COWARD.

I AM RIGHT
ON THE EDGE, HUTCH.

I SWEAR I'M GOING
TO KILL HIM THE NEXT TIME HE LAYS A HAND ON ME.

ALL RIGHT.

LEAVE HIM TONIGHT.
AND LOSE MY SON?

YOU CAN DO IT.
THERE ARE PLACES WHERE YOU CAN GO.

HE'LL FIND ME,
AND HE'LL TAKE JESSE.

- WELL, THEN,
CALL THE COPS ON HIM. - I DID THAT ONCE.

AND WHEN THE COPS CAME,
COTTON ASKED JESSE IN FRONT OF THEM...

IF HE HAD HIT ME,
JESSE SAID NO.

GEEZ. YOUR OWN SON?

HE'S POISONED HIM.

TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO.

YOU CAN HELP ME KILL HIM.

HAVE YOU FLIPPED YOUR LID?

WE CAN DO IT.
I FIGURED IT ALL OUT THIS AFTERNOON.

HOLLY, LISTEN, PLEASE.
YOU KNOW I'M IN YOUR CORNER ON THIS, DON'T YOU?

WHAT HE'S DOING TO YOU
IS AWFUL.

BUT KILLING HIM?
Y-YOU'VE GOT TO CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS.

I'VE NEVER HAD MY EMOTIONS
MORE UNDER CONTROL.

I THOUGHT
WE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL.

YOU ACTUALLY
SAID THAT TO ME YESTERDAY AT THE MOTEL.

BUT I'VE SEEN
YOUR TRUE COLORS. THEY'RE YELLOW.

[ Chuckles ]

IT'S OVER BETWEEN US,
HUTCH.

I'M EITHER GOING TO FIND
SOMEBODY TO HELP ME DO THIS, OR I'M GOING TO DO IT MYSELF.

THAT'S IT.

HOLLY--

GIVE MY REGARDS TO RACHEL.

ASSHOLE!

[ Jesse ]
MOM, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?

WHAT?

DO YOU LOVE DAD?

OF COURSE I DO.

I'M GLAD.
YEAH?

CAN YOU GIVE ME
THE GOOD-NIGHT KISS?

OH!
THE GOOD-NIGHT KISS.

YOU HAVEN'T ASKED FOR
THE GOOD-NIGHT KISS IN A REALLY LONG TIME.

[ Kissing Sounds ]

GOOD NIGHT, MOM.

GOOD NIGHT, PUMPKIN.
I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU.

GOOD NIGHT.

[ Woman's Voice ]
YEAH, HE GETS DRUNK AND HE SLAPS ME AROUND.

BUT I NEVER DREAMED
OF KILLING HIM.

(ñ [ Man's Voice ]
BUT YOU WOULDN'T MIND IF HE WAS DEAD?

I GUESS I WOULDN'T.
MAYBE IN AN ACCIDENT.

MAYBE.
AND PERHAPS HAVING A BIG INSURANCE POLICY ON HIS LIFE...

WOULDN'T BE
SUCH A BAD IDEA.

MAYBE. MAYBE
THEN WE COULD BE TOGETHER. AND MAYBE THEN--

WHAT?
AH, FORGET IT.

THE INVOICE RIGHT NOW--
LET'S SEE.

IT'S DATED THE 17th, AND--
ABSOLUTELY.

HOLLY, COULD YOU BRING IN
THE VINCENT FILE, PLEASE?

I WANT TO DISCUSS
A COUPLE OF THINGS.

SO HOW'S THINGS
ON THE HOME FRONT WITH COTTON?

HE'S STILL ALIVE.
ONLY BECAUSE HE HASN'T HIT ME.

YOU'RE NOT STILL INTENT
ON KILLING HIM, ARE YOU?

IF ONLY THAT MAN KNEW
HE WAS LIVING ON BORROWED TIME.

HOLLY. HOLLY,
JUST COME TO YOUR SENSES.

NORMAL PEOPLE DO NOT
GO AROUND KILLING--

[ Chattering Continues ]

KILLING OTHER PEOPLE.

NORMAL PEOPLE DON'T GO
AROUND HITTING OTHER PEOPLE WITH IMPUNITY.

- THERE'S GOT TO BE
ANOTHER WAY TO SOLVE THIS. - NO OTHER WAY.

HOLLY, I MISS YOU.

FORGET IT.
I'M NOT SCREWING YOU ANYMORE.

- I THINK I'M READY TO MAKE
THE BREAK WITH RACHEL. - BULLY FOR YOU.

IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?
I'M FRESH OUT OF MARRIAGE COUNSELING.

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT I'M SAYING? NO. WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

I'M GOING TO BE A FREE MAN.

WHEN I KILL COTTON,
I'LL BE FREE TOO. YOU CAN BUY ME A DRINK.

ALL RIGHT,
LISTEN, HOLLY. LISTEN.

I COULD HAVE A LIFE WITH YOU.

YOU COULD DIVORCE COTTON
AND WE COULD BE MARRIED.

YOU'LL DIVORCE RACHEL
TO BE WITH ME?

I'VE BEEN GIVING IT
A LOT OF THOUGHT,

AND IT'S SOMETHING I'D...

LIKE TO DO.

- IF I GET DIVORCED,
I'M SURE TO LOSE JESSE. - NO. NO WAY.

I'LL LOSE HIM
ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

I KNOW THAT AS SURE
AS I'M SITTING HERE.

THE ONLY WAY
TO GET RID OF COTTON AND KEEP JESSE IS TO KILL HIM.

THAT IS JUST CRAZY, HOLLY.

I CAN DO IT.
I CAN GET AWAY WITH IT.

THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY
TO BE HAD TOO.

MONEY? WHAT MONEY?
WHAT, INSURANCE? NO.

I COULD NEVER TALK COTTON
INTO LIFE INSURANCE.

HE THINKS
HE'LL LIVE FOREVER.

WELL, WHAT THEN? YOU TOLD ME
YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY.

NO, I DON'T.
BUT HE'S GOT SOMETHING THAT'S GOOD AS GOLD.

- OH, YEAH?
- WHEN HIS PARENTS RETIRED,

THEY GOT A RANCH
IN THE SAN LUIS VALLEY.

THEY PASSED AWAY,
COTTON INHERITED THE RANCH.

HE RENTS IT OUT
TO THE RANCHER NEXT DOOR FOR A SONG.

IN THE EVENT OF HIS DEATH,

I INHERIT THE LAND.

REALLY?

AND WHAT'S THAT WORTH
ON THE OPEN MARKET?

IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
OF $400,000. [ Whistles ]

PRETTY NICE
NEIGHBORHOOD, HUH?

SO HOW ARE YOU
GOING TO GET AWAY WITH IT?

WHY SHOULD I TELL YOU?
YOU ALREADY TOLD ME THE GUY'S DEAD MEAT.

BEFORE I READ ABOUT IT
IN THE NEWSPAPERS, I'D LIKE TO HEAR HOW YOU'RE GONNA DO IT.

THERE'S BEEN TWO BREAK-INS
IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE LAST SIX WEEKS.

BOTH OF THEM
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

COTTON'S BEEN SLEEPING
WITH HIS GUN, JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO TRY OUR HOUSE.

CHARMING.
IT'S MY PLAN...

TO HAVE MY ACCOMPLICE
MAKE SOME NOISE OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE...

TO ROUSE COTTON OUT OF BED.

SO THEN
YOUR DIMWITTED ACCOMPLICE...

SHOOTS THE UNSUSPECTING COTTON
AND YOU'RE HOME FREE. NO.

I'LL HAVE MY GUN TOO.

WHEN HE GETS UP,
UNBEKNOWNST TO HIM, I'LL FOLLOW.

I DON'T WANT ANYONE
DOING MY DIRTY WORK FOR ME.

I DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT ON
THE SATISFACTION OF BLOWING THAT MONSTER'S SHIT AWAY.

YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM?

I'VE GOT IT ALL PLANNED OUT.
WHERE TO HIDE THE GUN, WHERE TO CAP HIM. EVERYTHING.

WHERE TO CAP HIM?
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS TALK.

THAT'S 'CAUSE YOU'RE GUTLESS.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE SMALL
MATTER OF YOUR SON, JESSE?

IF HE THINKS AS HIGHLY OF COTTON
AS YOU SAY, YOU'LL NEED A CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST ON RETAINER.

IT'S GOING TO BE
HARD FOR A WHILE, BUT WE'LL GET THROUGH IT.

WHEN WE TALKED AT THE BAR,
YOU SAID YOU WANTED MY HELP.

WHAT WOULD MY ROLE BE
IN ALL OF THIS?

[ Hutch's Voice ]
HOLLY, I MISS YOU.

FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS?
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?

[ Man's Voice ] I TOLD YOU
THIS WAS THE YEAR WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY THE PIPER.

[ Holly's Voice ]
THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY TO BE HAD TOO.

[ Hutch's Voice ]
CAN I GET TOGETHER WITH YOU TONIGHT?

[ Holly's Voice ]
JUST BREAK IN, MAKE SOME NOISE.

[ Hutch's Voice ]
I COULD HAVE A LIFE WITH YOU.

[ Holly's Voice ]
OUR FUTURE BEGINS AFTER COTTON'S DEAD.

[ Thunder ]
[ Binny ] HUTCH? HUTCH?

HUTCH?

HAVE YOU HEARD
A THING I'VE SAID?

YEAH.
YEAH, GET THOSE DISCOUNTS.

WHERE HAS YOUR HEAD
BEEN LATELY?

DID YOU HAVE
A HARD SLEEP LAST NIGHT?

NO, IT WAS EASY.

WHY DON'T
WE BREAK FOR LUNCH?

WELL, IT'S, UH, 10:15.

OH. WELL, LET'S FINISH THEN.

SAY, WHO'S THAT GUY
AT THE DEPARTMENT OF RECORDS,

FUNNY NOSE,
WE USED HIM ONCE?

HE'S A WHIZ AT WILLS
AND, UH, TAXES, ESTATE PLANNING.

HE USED TO BE A LAWYER,
BUT HE WAS TOSSED OFF THE BAR.

YOU MEAN LARRY SKAGGS?

- YEAH, THAT'S HIM.
- LARRY LOOPHOLE.

RIGHT. RIGHT.
I WANT TO TALK TO HIM.

- HOW COME?
- WELL, I-- I GOT A, UH, A CALL THIS MORNING...

FROM AN OLD CLIENT OF MINE,
HAD A QUESTION I COULDN'T ANSWER.

SHE HAS AN ELDERLY AUNT...

LIVING IN A NURSING HOME.

SOMETHING
ABOUT PROPERTY TAXES...

VIS-A-VIS LIFE INSURANCE...

AND, UH, HOW IT WOULD
AFFECT HER INCOME TAX.

AND THAT STUFF
IS JUST OUT OF MY DEPTH.

BE CAREFUL AROUND HIM.

HE'S ABOUT
ONE BRAINSTORM AWAY FROM DOING SERIOUS TIME.

HI.

HUTCH RIMES,
HUTCH RIMES INSURANCE.

OH, YEAH.
I'VE SEEN YOUR ADS.

THANK YOU.

UH, A CLIENT OF MINE
OWNS SOME LAND UP IN THE SAN LUIS VALLEY,

AND HE WANTS ME
TO DO SOME RESEARCH...

INTO HIS WATER
AND MINERAL RIGHTS FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES.

SO I'D LIKE TO SPEAK
TO LARRY SKAGGS, PLEASE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?

WHAT'S THAT?
JUST A LETTER I WROTE TO MY MOTHER.

COME TO BED.

OKAY.

[ Snoring ]

tP
[ Clattering, Rustling ]

[ Creaking ]

MM.

[ Clunk ]

[ Door Creaking ]

DID YOU HEAR SOMETHING?

SOMEBODY'S IN THE HOUSE.
ARE YOU SURE?

WE'LL SEE.
DON'T GO OUT THERE.

[ Glass Shattering ]

[ Dogs Barking ]

[ Woman ]
GOT A PLANE TO CATCH, BIG BOY?

I'M MEETING MARVIN WHETSTONE
IN 20 MINUTES.

WHAT'S MARVIN WHETSTONE GOT
THAT I HAVEN'T GOT?

WELL, HE'S GOT A COMPANY
WITH 40 EMPLOYEES, ALL OF WHOM NEED INSURANCE.

HMM.
IS THAT ALL?

WELL, MARVIN WHETSTONE
IS ONE OF MY LOYALEST CLIENTS.

SAY, IS THAT A WORD,
"LOYALEST"?

OR IS IT
A POLITICAL PARTY?

I GOT YOUR PARTY
RIGHT HERE, BUSTER.

DROP OFF THE KEY, OKAY?

[ Scoffs ]
[ Door Closes ]

AH. TIED UP WHETSTONE
FOR ANOTHER YEAR.

THAT'S WONDERFUL.
WHO DO YOU TIE UP NEXT?

[ Sighs ]
CAN I TALK TO YOU, HUTCH?

SURE. COME IN.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHY THE GLOOM AND DOOM?

WHILE YOU WERE AT LUNCH,
SOMEONE CALLED.

OH? WHO?

COTTON PROUDFIT.

COTTON PROUDFIT
CALLED HERE?

YES.

- I THOUGHT HE WAS IN PRISON.
- NOT ANYMORE.

WHAT DID HE WANT?

HE SAID
HE WANTED TO TALK. ABOUT WHAT?

HE DIDN'T SAY.

WELL, WHAT-WHAT COULD HE
POSSIBLY WANT WITH ME?

MAYBE HE WANTS
TO TALK ABOUT HOLLY.

TALK ABOUT HOLLY?

SH-- SHE DIED 10 YEARS AGO.

WELL,
SHE USED TO WORK HERE.

THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.

- YES, IT WAS.
- I-I JUST DON'T GET IT.

WHAT WOULD A MAN
CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER WANT WITH ME?

HE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT TIME
YOU KNOCKED OFF WORK.

AND WHEN DID YOU TELL HIM?
5:30.

- IS HE COMING HERE?
- HE SAID "MUCH OBLIGED" AND HUNG UP.

HUH. COTTON PROUDFIT.

CHARLIE HIGHTOWER CALLED.
HE WANTS TO GO OVER HIS POLICY. I'M MEETING HIM FOR DRINKS.

- SEE YOU TOMORROW.
- [ Door Closes ]

[ Hutch On Radio ]
SEVENTEEN YEARS AND I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE...

TO WORRY ABOUT LOSING IT ALL.

BUT I CAN SLEEP EASY
AND YOU CAN TOO.

WHATEVER YOUR INSURANCE NEEDS,
HEALTH, LIFE OR BUSINESS,

CALL ME, HUTCH RIMES,
AND SLEEP EASY.

OH, GOD!
COTTON PROUDFIT.

[ Knocking ]

HEY, BOSS.
COTTON?

[ Laughs]
YEAH.

I MISSED YOU AT WORK.
YOU GET MY MESSAGE?

YEAH. I, UH,
HAD A MEETING, UH, DOWNTOWN.

OH, YEAH.
IS THAT ONE OF THOSE GOOD OL' BOY MARTINI MEETINGS?

[ Chuckles ]

MIND IF I COME IN?
GOT A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU.

SURE. COME ON IN.

I SEE YOU GOT MY LETTER.
YEAH. JUST GOT IT, UH, TODAY.

WHAT I WROTE IN THAT LETTER
IS WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT. [ Clears Throat ]

YOU MIND
IF I SIT DOWN, BOSS?

NO. GO--
GO RIGHT AHEAD.

HAVE A SEAT.

WE DON'T STAND
ON CEREMONY AROUND HERE. [ Laughing ]

OH. I PICKED THAT UP
FROM AN EDDIE MURPHY MOVIE WE SEEN IN ORDWAY.

[ Clears Throat ]
I NEVER DID GET TO SEE THE END.

SOME OLD BOY
SET THE ROOM ON FIRE. CLEARED OUT THE CELL BLOCK.

THIS IS A NICE PLACE
YOU GOT HERE. WHERE'S YOUR BETTER HALF?

WE GOT DIVORCED
SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

YOU DON'T SAY.
I MET HER A COUPLE OF TIMES, I THINK.

KIND OF A BAGGY-EYED BITCH,
AS I RECALL.

YOU JOUSTING
THAT LITTLE THING I MET IN THE OFFICE TODAY?

I BEG YOUR PARDON?

I WAS TOLD,
DON'T LEAVE YOUR MEAT WHERE YOU GET YOUR BACON.

THERE'S A LOT
OF TRUTH TO THAT.

NO, I-I DON'T, UH--
I DON'T DO THAT.

MM, I DON'T BLAME YOU.

THAT SORT OF THING
ONLY GETS YOU IN TROUBLE WITH BOYFRIENDS, HUSBANDS.

THAT KIND OF SHIT
WAS A NO-NO IN THE JOINT.

YES. SO, WHAT IS IT
THAT YOU WANTED TO SEE ME ABOUT?

I HAD A LOT OF TIME
TO CONTEMPLATE IN THE STIR. YOU KNOW, TAKE STOCK.

FOR THE LONGEST TIME,
I THOUGHT OF MY LIFE AS BEING OVER.

MY WIFE DEAD
BY MY OWN HAND.

MY BELOVED SON...

A MEMORY.

I GUESS YOU COULD SAY
I WAS A BITTER MAN.

WAS. TEN YEARS INSIDE
SOFTENED ME UP.

I GOT RID OF MY DEMONS.

HOW LONG CAN ONE MAN
FEEL SORRY FOR HIMSELF?

[ Chuckles ]
I DON'T KNOW. [ Chuckles ]

WELL, TOOK ME A LONG TIME.

I WAS ONE ANGRY MOTHERFUCKER,
LET ME TELL YOU.

RIGHT. CAN I GET YOU
SOMETHING TO DRINK?

OR, UH--

NOW IT'S TIME
TO PUT MY LIFE IN ORDER. [ Clears Throat ]

TIE UP LOOSE ENDS.
THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN.

ME?
THERE'S AN ACCOUNTING.

AN ACCOUNTING OF WHAT
YOU OWED HOLLY WHEN SHE DIED.

ACCOUNTING?

TWO WEEKS' WORK,
ONE WEEK VACATION TIME.

THAT'S ABOUT $1,500.
YOU FIGURE IN SEVEN PERCENT INTEREST, WHICH IS FAIR.

THAT COMES TO $3,850,
INCLUDING THE INTEREST.

UH, YOU CAME HERE
FOR MONEY?

ONLY WHAT'S OWED HOLLY.

WELL, I GUESS IN-- IN--
IN ALL THE CONFUSION BACK THEN,

I-- I MUST HAVE FORGOT
WHAT HOLLY HAD COMING.

I COULD WRITE YOU
A CHECK TONIGHT IF-- [ Clears Throat ] RIGHT NOW.

THAT'D BE GOOD.

HOW MUCH WAS IT AGAIN?

3,850.

HOW'S YOUR SON?
HE MUST BE NEARLY GROWN BY NOW, HUH?

YEAH.
I'M SEEING HIM TOMORROW.

OH.

YOU KNOW,
I NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO SAY THIS PERSONALLY TO THE FAMILY,

BUT I WAS REAL SORRY
ABOUT HOLLY.

SHE WAS A GREAT EMPLOYEE,
AND I CONSIDERED HER A FRIEND.

THANKS.
SHE WAS A FRIENDLY GIRL.

I LOVED HER DEARLY.

YOU KNOW, I GUESS
IF ANYONE'S TO BLAME FOR THIS WHOLE THING,

IT'S THE GUY THAT
BROKE INTO MY HOUSE THAT NIGHT.

ENDED ONE LIFE
AND RUINED ANOTHER.

THANKS, RIMES.

FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
WE'RE SQUARE.

[ Door Opens ]

ARE YOU OKAY?
IT WAS LIKE THIS WHEN I CAME IN.

WHY WOULD
SOMEBODY DO THIS?

DID COTTON PROUDFIT
CATCH UP WITH YOU?

HE CAME TO MY HOUSE
LAST NIGHT. REALLY? WHAT DID HE WANT?

WELL, HE WANTED MONEY...

THAT I OWED HOLLY
WHEN SHE WAS KILLED.

WHAT WAS HE LIKE?
ANGRY? DEMANDING? VIOLENT?

NO. NONE OF THE ABOVE.
HE WAS KIND, AND WE HAD A VERY CIVIL CONVERSATION.

COULD HE HAVE DONE THIS?

WHY?
WE'VE OFFICED HERE FOR 17 YEARS.

THE DAY COTTON PROUDFIT
SHOWS UP, SOMEONE BREAKS IN AND TRASHES IT? COINCIDENCE?

HE WAS A GENTLEMAN
WHO'S DOING HIS VERY BEST TO GET HIS LIFE BACK TOGETHER.

COTTON PROUDFIT
A GENTLEMAN?

SINCE WHEN DOES
OUR PRISON SYSTEM TURN VIOLENT ASSHOLES INTO GENTLEMEN?

- [ Sighs ]
HOW'S MY OFFICE LOOK? - IT'S A MESS.

OKAY, UH, GO NEXT DOOR,
USE THEIR PHONES...

AND REPORT THIS
TO THE POLICE.

- LUCKY FOR ME,
I'VE GOT GOOD INSURANCE, HUH? - WHAT ABOUT COTTON?

NOTHING ABOUT COTTON.

LET'S JUST GET THIS PLACE
BACK TOGETHER AND GET OPEN.

JESUS CHRIST.

- JESSE?
- YEAH?

GOT TIME FOR LUNCH
WITH YOUR OLD MAN?

HEY, HEY, HEY.
IS THAT ANY WAY TO TREAT YOUR FATHER?

THE SPITTIN' IMAGE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WE NEED TO TALK, SON.

WE GOT 10 YEARS
TO CATCH UP ON.

I'VE GOT NOTHING TO SAY.

WE'VE BOTH GOT THINGS
TO SAY TO EACH OTHER.

WE CAN SAY THEM NOW
OR WE CAN SAY THEM LATER, BUT WE'RE GONNA SAY THEM.

[ Sighs ]

WE CAN GET THEM TO YOU
BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
THANK YOU.

WELL, GOOD LUCK.

- DID YOU TELL HIM?
- TELL HIM WHAT?

ABOUT COTTON.

WHAT'S THERE TO TELL?

THAT HE WAS HERE YESTERDAY
AND THAT HE CAME TO YOUR HOUSE LAST NIGHT.

BINNY, ASK YOURSELF.
WHY WOULD HE WRECK THIS OFFICE?

THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE
THAT POLICE DETECTIVE TO ASK.

COTTON'S A CRIMINAL
WHO MURDERED HIS WIFE.

WHICH HE MAINTAINED
WAS A TRAGIC ACCIDENT.

BULLSHIT! HE FLIPPED OUT
AND SHOT HER.

THERE WAS HISTORY
OF ABUSE THERE.

LOOK, I DON'T SEE THE POINT
OF INVOLVING HIM IN WHAT AMOUNTS TO A SIMPLE BREAK-IN.

IT'S PROBABLY JUST
SOME GLUE-SNIFFING PUNKS WITH NOTHING BETTER TO DO.

DO YOU NOT WANT TO IMPLICATE
COTTON PROUDFIT IN THIS...

BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID
YOU MIGHT OPEN A CAN OF WORMS?

WHAT IS THAT
SUPPOSED TO MEAN? CAN OF WORM--

THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

ARE WE GOING AHEAD
WITH THE BARBECUE TONIGHT?

OH, SHIT!
I COMPLETELY FORGOT.

AND WE HAVE
CLIENTS COMING TOO.

- WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- IT'S UP TO YOU.

UH-- WELL,
LET'S DO IT.

I THINK WE CAN ALL
USE SOME BEERS TONIGHT.

Yu
BINNY? FORGET ABOUT COTTON PROUDFIT.

I GOT A GOOD READ ON HIM
LAST NIGHT.

THERE'S NO REASON FOR HIM
TO HAVE A BEEF WITH ME.

I'M SURE YOU'RE RIGHT.

[ Sighs ]

OH, GOD,
I MISSED MY BEER.

- WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW?
- I GOT SOME PLANS YOU'RE A PART OF THEM.

I GOT MY OWN LIFE.

HOW'S THE JOB?
IT PAYS THE BILLS.

YOU GOT A GIRLFRIEND?

YEAH.
WELL, WHAT'S HER NAME?

JULIE.

JULIE, HUH?
GOOD FOR YOU.

AH, HERE WE ARE.

AHH.

I SENT YOU
A LOT OF LETTERS.

- SO?
- YOU DIDN'T WRITE BUT ONCE.

I SAID ALL I HAD TO SAY.

I WANT TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT THAT.

WHAT GOOD WOULD THAT DO?

I KNOW YOU LOVED YOUR MOTHER.
AND I LOVED HER TOO.

AND YOU LOST HER AND ME
AT THE SAME TIME. I KNOW THAT WAS HARD.

BUT WHAT
HAPPENED THAT NIGHT...

WAS AN ACCIDENT.

YOU HIT HER.
YOU HURT HER.

YES, I DID. I DID.
THAT WASN'T RIGHT.

BUT I OWNED UP TO IT.

AND I DID NOT KILL HER
OUT OF RAGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

I MISTOOK HER
FOR THE PERSON WHO-- WHO BROKE INTO OUR HOUSE.

[ Scoffs ]
JESSE, I WAITED 10 YEARS...

TO TELL YOU THAT
FACE-TO-FACE, 'CAUSE THAT'S THE TRUTH.

NOW I CAN'T CHANGE
WHAT HAPPENED. I CAN'T BRING HER BACK.

BUT I WANT YOU BACK.

I WANT YOU
TO BE MY SON AGAIN.

I'M GOING TO SPELL IT
OUT FOR YOU, ALL RIGHT?

I HATE YOU.
YOU KILLED MY MOTHER.

♪ [ Country ]

[ Chattering, Laughing ]

DON'T BE
ANTISOCIAL, DEWEY. COME JOIN THE PARTY.

I DON'T SEE WHY
YOU AND BINNY ARE DOING ALL THE WORK.

HE'S JUST SITTING THERE
ON HIS ASS. HE'S THE BOSS.

NOBODY SCHMOOZES
BETTER THAN HE DOES.

THAT'S 50 PERCENT
OF OUR FISCAL YEAR SITTING AT THAT TABLE.

du
HE'S JUST DOING HIS JOB. YOU'RE NOT EVEN GETTING PAID FOR THIS.

MY BONUS LAST YEAR
PAID FOR YOUR MOTORBOAT.

[ Dewey ]
HOW MUCH LONGER WE GOT HANG AROUND THIS DUMP?

OR ARE YOU ALSO
ON THE CLEANUP CREW?

NO, DARLING.

WE'RE ON THE CLEANUP CREW.

[ Crunching Ice ]

OH, THANKS FOR ALL
YOUR HELP TONIGHT, BINNY.

IT WAS, UH, TOUGH DUTY,
BUT IT WAS GOOD FOR BUSINESS.

I HOPE SO.
GOOD NIGHT, HUTCH.

GOOD NIGHT, BINNY.

OHH.

HELLO, OLIVIA.
MORNING.

HEY, DO YOU THINK DEWEY
SUSPECTS ANYTHING ABOUT US?

OF COURSE NOT.
WHY WOULD YOU SAY SUCH A THING?

AH, WELL.
HE ACTED REAL STRANGE LAST NIGHT.

HE ACTS REAL STRANGE
EVERY DAY. YEAH.

HE WAS GIVING ME
THE EYE ALL NIGHT.

IT'S LIKE-- HE DIDN'T
EVEN COME OVER TO SAY HELLO TO ME OR ANYTHING.

YOU WERE KISSING
CLIENT BUTT ALL EVENING.

STILL, HIS ATTITUDE
KIND OF BOTHERS ME.

IT'S LIKE THERE'S
SOMETHING FUNNY GOING ON.

MAYBE-- MAYBE YOU AND I
OUGHT TO JUST COOL IT FOR A WHILE, HUH?

COOL IT?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
BREAK IT OFF?

DID YOU MEET SOMEONE NEW,
IS THAT IT?

DON'T I TURN YOU ON ANYMORE?

DON'T CHICKENSHIT ME ABOUT
DEWEY FINDING OUT ABOUT US.

THAT DOESN'T
WASH WITH ME. OLIVIA, HONEY--

DON'T HONEY ME!

I KNOW WHEN I'M
GETTING THE BRUSH-OFF.

THAT'S NOT IT. I JUST
THINK YOU AND I NEED TO--

COOL IT FOR A WHILE.
WHATEVER.

ASSHOLE.

HEY, BINNY.
WHERE'S OLIVIA?

SHE LEFT FOR LUNCH.
DID SHE KNOW YOU WERE COMING?

NO. NO.
I JUST THOUGHT I'D SURPRISE HER.

- UH, IS HUTCH HERE?
- HE HAD A LUNCH APPOINTMENT.

- DID HE NOW?
- YES, HE DID NOW.

OLIVIA SAID YOU
GOT BUSTED INTO THE OTHER NIGHT.

I'D LIKE TO KILL
THE JACK-OFF THAT DID IT.

- OLIVIA SAID IT WAS KIDS.
- MAYBE.

[ Whistles ]

DID YOU LEAVE
SOMETHING HERE?

NO.
THEN WHY DON'T YOU GET YOUR BIG NOSE OUT OF HER WORK.

JUST LET OLIVIA KNOW
I DROPPED BY TO SEE HER.

I'LL BE SURE TO GIVE HER
A FULL REPORTING OF YOUR ACTIVITIES.

[ Laughs ]

[ Door Closes ]

HAVE A GOOD DAY.

COFFEE.

[ Woman ]
COMING UP.

JULIE?

YES?
HI.

DO I KNOW YOU?

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF.

COTTON PROUDFIT.

[ Chuckles ]
YEAH, JESSE'S OLD MAN. I WON'T BITE.

ANOTHER DRINK, BINNY?
YEAH.

PUT SOME SCOTCH IN IT
THIS TIME. [ Chuckles ]

AH. MAY I JOIN YOU?
SURE.

AH.
SHOULD WE GET A BOOTH?

YEAH.
OKAY.

COULD I HAVE A BEER,
PLEASE? SURE.

THANK YOU.

SO, WHAT BRINGS YOU
TO MY COCKTAIL OFFICE?

H-H-HOW LONG HAVE YOU
WORKED FOR ME, BINNY?

EIGHTEEN YEARS,
SEPTEMBER 10.

WOW.
WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

WE HAVE.

THICK AND THIN.
YEAH.

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH
A LOT TOGETHER, PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY.

BUILDING THE BUSINESS.

YOUR DIVORCE.
MY DIVORCE.

YOUR DAUGHTER'S ILLNESS.

[ Sighs ]
YOU PICKED A WEIRD PLACE TO FIRE ME.

OH--
[ Laughs ]

THAT-- THAT'S--
AH, THAT'S RICH, BINNY. THAT'S RICH.

kd
NO. I-I-I WOULD NEVER FIRE YOU.

NO.
[ Sighs ]

THE PROBLEM IS...

I FIND MYSELF IN A QUANDARY,
AND, UH, I'M IN NEED OF SOME ADVICE.

OH.

THIS SAID QUANDARY
NAMED DEWEY WISE?

YES, IT IS.
HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?

HE CAME SNOOPING AROUND
AT LUNCH TODAY LOOKING FOR OLIVIA.

WELL, I WAS--
I WAS HAVING LUNCH WITH GORDON COWICK.

I THINK
IT'S SAFE TO SAY HE KNOWS YOU'RE SCREWING HIS WIFE.

WELL, THAT
IS THE MOST UNFOUNDED--

I KNOW, HUTCH.

I ALSO KNEW ABOUT
JENNY TOWERS...

AND MICKY HODLE
AND LESLIE GILLIS.

AND THAT WAS JUST 1991.
FOR A WHILE THERE,

AFTER YOU UNCEREMONIOUSLY
SHIT-CANNED RACHEL,

YOU COULDN'T TELL
THE REVOLVING BROADS WITHOUT A SCORECARD.

HUH.

WAS I THAT OBVIOUS?

YOU WERE FINE.
IT WAS THE GIRLS WHO LIKED TO TALK.

WOW. YOU MUST THINK
I'M A FIRST-CLASS PERVERT.

HUTCH. YOU'VE ALWAYS
BEEN GOOD TO ME.

AND NONE OF TH
EVER COMPLAINED ABOUT YOU. THEY TOOK IT FOR WHAT IT WAS.

MY OPINION OF YOU
HAS NEVER CHANGED.

WELL, THAT MEANS
A LOT TO ME, BINNY.

DEWEY WANT A PIECE
OF YOU NOW?

I THINK IT WAS DEWEY
TRASHED THE OFFICE.

WHY HIM?

I GOT A COUPLE OF STRANGE
THREATENING TYPE NOTES.

ONE WAS ON MY CAR
AND THE OTHER WAS ON MY DESK IN MY STUDY AT HOME.

NO, SHIT!
AT YOUR HOUSE? WHAT DID THEY SAY?

IS MY POLICY PAID UP
AND WHAT KIND OF PREMIUM DO I PUT ON MY LIFE.

THAT TYPE OF THING.
MELODRAMATIC, BUT EFFECTIVE.

MY-- MY NECK IS SORE
FROM CHECKING MY BACK.

SO WHAT MAKES YOU
THINK IT WAS DEWEY?

WELL, ONE OF THE NOTES
REFERRED TO ME AS...

A ROMEO.

Y-YOU THINK COTTON
COULD HAVE LEFT THE NOTES?

COTTON?
WHAT FOR?

I KNEW ABOUT HOLLY TOO.

YOU KNEW ABOUT HOLLY?

YEAH.

- DID COTTON KNOW?
- I DON'T KNOW.

IF HE DID KNOW
AND HE WAS HOLDING A GRUDGE ALL THESE YEARS,

WHY DIDN'T HE
HAVE IT OUT WITH ME THE OTHER NIGHT?

HE COULD HAVE
CRUSHED ME WITH ONE HAND TIED BEHIND HIS BACK.

SO HE MUST NOT HAVE KNOWN.

YEAH, BUT WHAT IF HE DOES?

I BETTER GO.

THANKS FOR HEARING ME OUT.

YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN
A REAL GOOD FRIEND, BINNY.

AND I SUPPOSE IF YOU
DIDN'T SEE SOMETHING IN ME, YOU'D HAVE QUIT LONG AGO.

I SAW SOMETHING IN YOU.

OH.
GOD KNOWS WHAT.

[ Door Opens ]
THAT YOU, HONEY?

[ Jesse ]
YEP.

HI.

HI.

WHAT ARE YOU MAKING, HMM?
THAT CHICKEN DISH YOU LIKE.

WE HAVING COMPANY OR WHAT?

[ Knocking ]

YEAH.
YOU WANT TO GET THAT?

HI, SON.
[ Chuckles ] YOU LOOK SURPRISED.

THERE SHE IS.
HI, JULIE.

HI.

I RAN INTO COTTON TODAY
AND WE MADE OUR INTRODUCTIONS,

AND I INVITED HIM
OVER FOR DINNER.

YOU RAN INTO HIM?
WHERE? AT A HALFWAY HOUSE?

UH, YOU'RE NOT SERVING
SUPPER ON THE PORCH, ARE YOU?

NO. I'M SORRY.
COME ON IN. OKAY.

[ Sniffs ]
OH, SOMETHING SMELLS MIGHTY GOOD, JULIE.

LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS A NICE LITTLE PLACE YOU GOT HERE.

REAL NICE.

OH, THAT'S--
THAT'S NICE.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU SAY
WE OPEN THAT WINE? THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.

OKAY.
I'LL GO GET SOME GLASSES.

YOU GOT TO HER,
DIDN'T YOU?

GREAT GAL. I CAN SEE
SHE'S GOT YOUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART.

YOU GOT SOMETHING
WE CAN CRACK THIS OPEN WITH?

HERE'S SOME GLASSES.

HERE WE GO.

WANT ME TO OPEN
THAT FOR YOU?

OKAY.

GLASS OF WINE, JESS?

WELL, THAT WASN'T
SO BAD, WAS IT?

MAN, HE HAS A LOT
OF STORIES ABOUT YOU.

YOU WERE QUITE
THE LITTLE PISTOL, WEREN'T YOU?

DON'T LET HIS
SONG AND DANCE FOOL YOU.

IT'S A CON. HE'S A CON.

JESS, I KNOW
YOU HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH HIM. IMPORTANT ISSUES.

BUT...

IT'S VERY CLEAR
THAT HE LOVES YOU A LOT.

AND HE'S REACHING
OUT TO YOU.

DON'T YOU THINK
IT'S TIME FOR SOME HEALING?

HE KILLED MY MOTHER.

HE DIDN'T MEAN TO.

[ Door Opens ]

HUTCH IN YET?

HE WENT TO GET DANISH.

OH, YOU LOOK AWFUL.

[ Swallows ]
THANKS.

OH, NO, I WASN'T BEING MEAN.
IT'S JUST-- ARE YOU SICK?

[ Sighs ]
SCOTCH FLU.

[ Chuckles ]
YEAH, I HEARD THAT'S GOING AROUND.

- SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THE SHEEP OVER THERE. - YEAH.

DEWEY AND I HAD A REAL
DONNYBROOK LAST NIGHT.

- WHAT'D YOU FIGHT ABOUT?
- HE ACCUSED ME OF HAVING AN AFFAIR...

WITH HUTCH, NO LESS.

IS THAT RIGHT?
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD SUCH CRAP?

I'D HAVE TO THINK
ABOUT IT.

ANYWAY, I'M MOVING OUT.
DON'T TELL HUTCH.

OH, NO.
I WOULDN'T DREAM OF IT.

ARE YOU REALLY SERIOUS
ABOUT MOVING OUT?

YOU BET.
I AM TIRED OF HIS JEALOUSY.

THE NERVE.
A FRIEND OF MINE JUST MOVED INTO A NEW BUILDING.

IF YOU LIKE,
I COULD TAKE YOU OVER THERE. YOU COULD TAKE A LOOK.

IT'S NICE.
THAT'D BE GREAT.

[ Vehicle Pulls Up,
Engine Stops ]

[ Vehicle Door Opens,
Closes ]

[ Footsteps ]

[ Knocking ]

HI, HUTCH.
AH, WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?

DON'T WORRY.
I MADE SURE I WASN'T FOLLOWED.

AND JUST WHO
WOULD BE FOLLOWING YOU?

I THINK WE BOTH KNOW
WHO WOULD BE.

YOU MIND IF I COME IN?
I FEEL LIKE A CENSUS TAKER OUT HERE.

[ Sighs ]
I LEFT DEWEY.

OH.
NOT ON MY ACCOUNT, I HOPE.

YOU BASTARD!

DON'T YOU HAVE ONE OUNCE
OF COMPASSION FOR ME?

TAKE A MATURE ATTITUDE.
WE NEVER HAD ANYTHING SERIOUS.

IT WAS A FLING,
NOTHING MORE.

[ Sobbing ]

I WOULD HAVE NEVER
GOTTEN INVOLVED WITH YOU...

IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN
WHAT A HEARTLESS, SAVE IT FOR THE DRAMA LEAGUE.

INSENSITIVE MAN YOU WERE.
AS I RECALL, IT WAS YOU WHO INITIATED OUR HARMLESS AFFAIR.

YOU PRACTICALLY TORE
MY CLOTHES OFF THAT NIGHT AT THE OFFICE AFTER WORK.

YOU DIDN'T PUT UP
MUCH OF A FIGHT.

[ Sighs ]
YOU GOT ME THERE.

A FLING?
A MOTEL MAMA?

IS THAT ALL
I AM TO YOU?

JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION,
MY HUSBAND KNOWS ABOUT US.

TELL ME WHAT IT IS
YOU WANT ME TO DO, OLIVIA.

- HELP ME KILL DEWEY.
- WHAT?

BEFORE HE KILLS ME...
OR BOTH OF US.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
KILLS BOTH OF US?

DEWEY IS INSANELY JEALOUS.
I KNOW HOW HIS MIND OPERATES.

RIGHT OR WRONG,
HE BELIEVES I'VE BEEN SCREWING YOU.

HE WON'T LET IT DIE
UNTIL ONE OF US DOES. DIE, THAT IS.

OKAY. OKAY.

ARE YOU TAKING SOME MEDICATION
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT?

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT
IS MY HUSBAND.

ON THE SURFACE,
DEWEY MAY APPEAR...

TO BE THE GEEKY
MIDDLE-MANAGER THAT HE IS.

BUT UNDERNEATH THAT MILD,
OPEN-MOUTHED EXTERIOR...

IS ONE CRAZY,
REVENGEFUL MOTHERFUCKER.

NOW I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED
IF HE'S ALREADY FOLLOWING YOU.

SCARING YOU.
PREPPING YOU.

I'M RIGHT, AREN'T I?

IF I KNOW DEWEY,
HE'S GOT EVERY ANGLE COVERED.

HE'S DOTTED THE T's
AND CROSSED THE I's.

HE HAS FIGURED OUT
A FOOLPROOF WAY TO GET YOU.

WE HAVE NO CHOICE
BUT TO KILL HIM.

HUTCH?

HUTCH?

SAY SOMETHING.

YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG MAN.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

IT MEANS FIND YOURSELF
ANOTHER BOY.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
DEWEY WILL SEARCH YOU OUT AND DESTROY YOU.

BELIEVE ME,
WE'VE GOT TO GET HIM BEFORE HE GETS US.

I GOT IT ALL PLANNED OUT.
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.

WE LIVE IN A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD.
DON'T EVEN TRY TO TELL ME ABOUT SOME CRIME WAVE THERE.

WHAT CRIME WAVE?
IS IT SOME FUNDAMENTAL FLAW IN MY MAKEUP...

OR IS IT THE TYPE OF WOMAN
I'M ATTRACTED TO? WHAT WOMAN?

DON'T TELL ME YOU'VE
LINED UP SOME NEW CHICK TO TAKE MY PLACE.

OUR BED'S STILL WARM, LOVER.
[ Knocking ]

[ Dewey ]
I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE, OLIVIA!

I TOLD YOU
HE WASN'T FUCKING AROUND.

YOU GOT SOMETHING
OF MINE, RIMES!

HE'S NOT
WHISTLING "DIXIE." I'M COMING IN TO GET IT!

WATCH OUT FOR HIS
UP-AND-UNDER MOVE. [ Pounding On Door ]

EVERY MAN'S GOT A RIGHT
TO FIGHT FOR HIS WIFE!

YOU ALIENATED
HER AFFECTIONS FOR ME!

NOW I'M GOING
TO ALIENATE YOU! [ Pounding On Door ]

[ Pounding Continues ]

OH, FUCK!

- WHERE IS SHE?
- WHERE'S WHO?

MY SLUT FOR A WIFE!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SHE PARKED HER DAMN CAR
RIGHT OUT FRONT, ASSHOLE!

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE NOW
BEFORE I CALL THE COPS.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT
A DAMN JURY OF MY PEERS IN THE WORLD...

THAT WOULD CONVICT ME!
OHH! UHH!

[ Groaning ]

I'LL TEACH YOU
TO FUCK WITH MY WIFE.

MOTHERFUCKER!

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
NOW'S OUR CHANCE. WE CAN FINISH HIM OFF!

GIVE ME THAT!
YOU MEN ARE ALL ALIKE. COWARDS AND PUSSIES!

[ Hutch ]
PUSSIES?

♪ [ Country On Radio ]

THE PLACE IS ALL OURS NOW.
THE RENTERS HAD UNTIL LAST WEEK TO CLEAR OUT.

HOW MANY ACRES IS IT?

FOUR HUNDRED PRIME
CATTLE-RAISING ACRES.

YOU GOT A COURSE
IN RAISING CATTLE IN PRISON?

COME ON, JESS.
I'M NOT GONNA SPEND THE WHOLE WEEKEND WITH A SPOILSPORT.

IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.

THIS IS HARD FOR ME TO DO,
BUT SOMETIMES--

DON'T EVEN THINK
ABOUT FIRIN' ME, LOVER.

UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
I JUST DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE...

A GOOD IDEA FOR YOU
TO CONTINUE TO WORK HERE.

YOU BETTER
RETHINK THAT, HUTCH.

YOU'RE SITTING ON TOP OF
A BIG-TIME SEXUAL HARASSMENT SUIT IF YOU DO SOMETHING DUMB.

[ Laughs ]
YOU WOULDN'T DARE.

I WOULDN'T, HUH?

YOU ASKED ME TO KILL
YOUR GODDAMN HUSBAND.

YOU WEREN'T WEARING A WIRE,
WERE YOU?

YOU UNBELIEVABLE,
BLACKMAILING BITCH!

I THINK WE SHOULD STEER
THE CONVERSATION TOWARD A MORE CIVILIZED TONE.

ALL RIGHT.
I'M GONNA BREAK YOUR FUCKING NECK!

SIMMER DOWN, BIG BOY.

REMEMBER, I'VE SEEN YOU
WITH YOUR JOHNSON HANGIN' OUT,

AND IT'S HANGIN' OUT THERE
PRETTY FAR RIGHT NOW.

LET'S GET BACK
TO THE LAWSUIT. I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL.

I PROMISE I WON'T SUE YOUR BUTT
AND LEAVE YA ON THE BREADLINE,

IF YOU PERFORM
ONE LITTLE SERVICE FOR ME.

I WILL NOT KILL YOUR HUSBAND!

DON'T COMPOUND
YOUR PROBLEMS, HONEY.

NOW, YOU-- SIT DOWN!

YOU NEED TO CONTEMPLATE
TWO THINGS.

ONE, HOW YOU'RE
GONNA KILL DEWEY.

AND, TWO, IF YOU DON'T,
HOW YOUR LIFE'S GONNA BE,

ONCE I'VE DRAGGED YOUR GOOD NAME
THROUGH THE MUD AND TAKEN YOU FOR ALL YOU'RE WORTH.

WHILE YOU'RE
SORTING OUT YOUR OPTIONS,

I'M GONNA TAKE A LEAVE
OF ABSENCE, FULL PAY,

TO RECOVER FROM THE MENTAL
AND EMOTIONAL DISTRESS.

YOU BE SURE
TO KEEP IN TOUCH...

IN THE NOT-SO-DISTANT
FUTURE.

AND WATCH
YOUR BACK FOR DEWEY.

HE HASN'T FORGOTTEN
THE LICKIN' YOU GAVE HIM.

[ Laughs ]

[ Chattering ]

THINKING ABOUT
THIS PLACE KEPT ME ALIVE WHEN I WAS IN PRISON.

THIS PLACE AND YOU.

IT'S SO PEACEFUL OUT HERE.

I COULD STAY HERE FOREVER.
WHY DON'T YOU?

WHY DON'T YOU? YOU TWO
COME LIVE OUT HERE WITH ME ON THE RANCH.

JULIE, I CAN TELL YOU'RE
A GREAT GIRL, AND YOU'RE A GREAT MATCH FOR JESSE HERE.

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO BE
OUT HERE IN THIS BEAUTY EVERY DAY?

YOU COULD BE YOUR OWN BOSS.

WE COULD MAKE A GO OF IT,
BE A FAMILY.

WE'D GET AWAY
FROM THE RAT RACE.

NO MORE CELL,
NO MORE WORKIN' FOR THE MAN.

[ Chuckles ]

HEY, IS IT TOO LATE
TO HAVE MY PECKER CUT OFF...

SO I CAN BEGIN MY NEW LIFE
AS A WOMAN?

BREASTS AREN'T AS MUCH FUN
WHEN THEY'RE YOUR OWN.

OLIVIA WILL DENY EVERYTHING
IF I GO TO THE POLICE.

I MEAN,
LET'S FACE IT, BINNY.

EITHER I KILL DEWEY,

OR I LOSE EVERYTHING I'VE
BUILT UP FOR THE LAST 17 YEARS.

SO I'M DAMNED IF I DO
AND FUCKED IF I DON'T.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOSE WHAT
YOU'VE WORKED FOR ALL YOUR LIFE TO THAT MAN-EATING WHORE.

I DON'T?

NO.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

KILL OLIVIA INSTEAD?

YES.

HEY, HEY.
I THINK I BETTER DRIVE.

NO, NO, NO.
COME HERE. COME ON.

HERE YOU GO. OKAY.

IN YOU GO.

[ Binny Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

ALL THAT TALK
ABOUT KILLING OLIVIA--

THAT WAS JUST BOOZE TALKING.

AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE
WORRIED ABOUT YOUR JOB,

BUT I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU'RE TAKEN CARE OF...

IN THE EVENT THAT--
YOU KNOW--

OLIVIA SHOULD COME AFTER ME.

I'M GONNA START
STASHING CASH TOMORROW.

SHE'S NOT GOING TO GET BLOOD
FROM THIS TURNIP.

FOR ALL YOUR
AFFAIRS AND LOVERS,

YOU SURE DON'T KNOW WOMEN,
HUTCH RIMES.

I DON'T GIVE
A HOOT ABOUT MONEY.

WHAT I DO GIVE
A HOOT ABOUT IS YOU.

YOU'LL BE SURPRISED TO KNOW
THAT I'VE LOVED YOU...

SINCE THE DAY
YOU INTERVIEWED ME FOR MY JOB.

EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME,

MY HEART STILL
JUMPS OUT OF MY CHEST WHEN YOU WALK IN EVERY MORNING.

DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S KIND
OF RIDICULOUS BEHAVIOR...

-
FOR A WOMAN MY AGE?

I SWEAR TO GOD,
BINNY. I--

I NEVER KNEW.

I KNOW YOU DIDN'T.
I KNOW.

I WAS JUST PART
OF THE FURNITURE, A COMFORTABLE OLD CHAIR.

BINNY REDWINE, THAT'S ME.

I DON'T--

BUT I'LL BE DAMNED IF I'M GOING
TO LET OLIVIA FUCKING WISE RUIN YOUR LIFE OR MINE.

YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT.
[ Engine Starts ]

[ Doorknob Rattles ]

[ Knocking ]

WHAT DO YOU WANT,
GRANDMA?

I WAS LOOKING FOR OLIVIA.
SHE DIDN'T COME IN TO WORK TODAY.

SO THAT WAS YOU
CALLING ALL MORNING.

I WAS WORRIED SOMETHING
HAD HAPPENED TO HER.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HER
IS A WIFE STEALER BY THE NAME OF HUTCH RIMES.

EXCUSE ME.
YOUR BELOVED BOSS AND MY WIFE HAVE SHACKED UP.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
SHE MOVED HER STUFF OUT YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS AT WORK.

THAT CHANGES THINGS,
DOESN'T IT?

YOU TELL
I'M GONNA SETTLE HIS HASH BUT GOOD.

NEXT TIME WE MEET, IT'S GONNA
BE ON A LEVEL-PLAYING FIELD, NOT IN HIS BOOBY-TRAPPED HOUSE.

I'LL BE SURE AND GIVE HIM
YOUR WARMEST REGARDS.

[ Chattering ]

[ Dishes Clattering ]

THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE ON
THE PAYROLL FOR, WALTER.

YOU SAVED MY ASS TEN YEARS AGO
WITH THE I.R.S.

NOW WORK YOUR MAGIC.

YEAH, WITH HELP FROM
LARRY LOOPHOLE, AS I RECALL. YOU TOOK A BIG CHANCE THERE.

ANYWAY, I THINK
WE GOT A WAY TO GO HERE.

MOST OF YOUR ASSETS
RESIDE IN THE BUSINESS.

A HOWITZER COULD NOT
PRY AWAY THE SHELTERS.

THAT CORPORATION YOU SET UP
BEFORE YOU DIVORCED RACHEL--

THAT PROTECTS YOUR HOUSE.
SHE CAN'T TOUCH THAT. GOOD.

THIS LITTLE ITEM RIGHT THERE--
THAT'S GONNA BE A PROBLEM.

WELL, THIS LITTLE ITEM
IS THE DIFFERENCE...

BETWEEN WHETHER
I DRIVE A FORD OR A JAG IN MY TWILIGHT YEARS.

YEAH. WE COULD
TRANSFER OWNERSHIP, JUST FOR THE TIME BEING.

YOU REALLY THINK
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA?

YEAH, SURE, WHY NOT?
WE COULD PUT IT IN-- BINNY'S NAME.

WE COULD TRANSFER IT BACK
WHEN THE TIME COMES.

YEAH, BUT--
NO, NO, NO. THAT'S GOOD.

WHAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW
WON'T HURT HER.

BESIDES, IT'S BINNY.

[ Holly's Voice ]
DEAREST HUTCH,

WHEN EVERYTHING IS OVER,
AND WE'RE TOGETHER IN ONE ANOTHER'S ARMS,

IN MY HOUSE AND
NOT THAT AWFUL MOTEL,

I WILL FINALLY EXPRESS TO YOU
MY DEEPEST LOVE...

AND MY DEEP APPRECIATION
FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO ME.

YOU, AS I,
ARE RISKING EVERYTHING.

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
ARE WITH YOU.

WE DETERMINE OUR OWN DESTINY.

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS,
KNOW THIS.

I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART
AND ALL MY SOUL.

YOU SHOWED ME WHAT A MAN CAN BE,

GENTLE, CARING AND STRONG.

I'LL LEAVE
THE BACK DOOR UNLOCKED.

OUR LIFE BEGINS
WHEN COTTON'S DEAD.

FOREVER YOURS, HOLLY.

FUCK!

OH, FUCK!

OH, THIS IS
THE LAST STRAW, DEWEY.

[ Engine Revving,
Tires Screeching ]

OH, JESUS!

WHAT HAPPENED?

TWO OF THE DUMBEST WORDS
IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE: DEWEY WISE!

FUCKER SLASHED MY TIRES.
SLASHED MY FUCKIN' TIRES!

I'M WALKING OVER HERE,
TRYING TO CALL TRIPLE "A," MAYBE CATCH A RIDE HOME WITH YOU.

TRIED TO RUN ME OVER.
HE TOLD ME THIS MORNING HE WAS GOING TO GET YOU.

I KNOW I SCREWED HIS WIFE,
BUT DON'T YOU THINK HE'S TAKING IT A LITTLE TOO FAR?

YOU NEED TO ATTEND TO THAT.
NO, I GOTTA ATTEND TO DEWEY FIRST.

I'M GONNA CALL THE COPS.

DID YOU SEE HIM
SLASH YOUR TIRES? NO, BUT I KNOW IT WAS HIM.

DID YOU GET A GLIMPSE OF HIM
WHEN HE RAN YOU OVER? NO, BUT I KNOW HE DID IT.

WAS IT HIS CAR,
THAT UGLY BROWN TAURUS HE DRIVES?

BINNY, I DON'T KNOW.
I WAS CONCENTRATING ON SAVING MY OWN SKIN.

IT HAD TO HAVE BEEN HIM.
WHO ELSE COULD IT BE?

IT MIGHT NOT BE
A GREAT IDEA TO GO...

TO THE POLICE ABOUT DEWEY WHEN
YOU HAVE OLIVIA RUNNING AROUND DREAMING UP GOD KNOWS WHAT.

HE TRIED TO KILL ME
TWICE THIS WEEK. TWICE.

LET ME TALK TO HIM.

YOU?

I UNDERSTAND HIS TYPE.
TRUST ME.

DON'T GET INTO ANY TROUBLE
ON MY ACCOUNT, OKAY, BINNY?

LET'S GET YOU HOME
AND PUT SOMETHING ON THIS FACE.

NO, NO. PROMISE ME
YOU WON'T MESS WITH DEWEY WISE.

I PROMISE...

TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.

WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE,
AND HOW'D YOU GET IN?

YOU REMEMBER MY FRIEND JUDY?
I TAKE CARE OF HER PLANTS WHEN SHE'S OUT OF TOWN.

I HEARD YOU MOVED IN,
AND I THOUGHT I COULD KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE.

WATER THE RUBBER PLANTS
AND WARM UP YOUR NEW PLACE.

HUTCH SEND YOU?
FUCK HUTCH.

I HOPE YOU BREAK
THE BANK WITH HIM.

WHEN DID YOU BECOME
A HUTCH HATER? YOU TWO BREATHE THE SAME AIR.

SINCE HE TRIED TO RAPE ME
IN THE OFFICE TODAY.

CAN I COME IN?

COME ON IN, SISTER.
TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT.

I THINK I MIGHT HAVE
BROKEN HIS NOSE...

WHEN I HIT HIM WITH
THE PENCIL SHARPENER.

[ Laughing ]
THERE WAS BLOOD EVERYWHERE.

OF COURSE,
I QUIT ON THE SPOT.

GOOD FOR YOU.
YEAH.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE
HE ATTACKED YOU.

YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IT?
I'VE KNOWN THE MAN FOR 18 YEARS.

HE'S NEVER SHOWN
THE SLIGHTEST INTEREST IN ME.

YOU OF ALL PEOPLE.
YEAH, I KNOW.

I'M NOT EXACTLY
A CALENDAR GIRL. I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT.

IT'S JUST THAT
HE'S ALWAYS HELD YOU IN SUCH HIGH REGARD.

YEAH, WELL, I FOUND OUT
THE DARK SIDE OF HUTCH RIMES, LET ME TELL YA.

÷u
LIKE YOU DID.

SO, WHY DID HE
THROW YOU OVER?

DID HE FIND A NEW BABE?

HE DIDN'T THROW ME OVER.
LET ME SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

I ENDED IT WITH HIM, AND
HE COULDN'T DEAL WITH IT. OH, YEAH.

HUTCH RIMES PICKED
THE WRONG KETTLE OF FISH TO MESS WITH IN OLIVIA WISE.

GIVE 'IM HELL, SISTER.

HMM. DID YOU
CALL THE POLICE?

NO. I WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU FIRST.

I'M AFRAID IT MIGHT END UP
BEING A HE-SAID-SHE-SAID THING.

WHERE I'D REALLY LIKE TO GET
THAT DICK IS IN HIS POCKETBOOK.

MAYBE WE CAN TEAM UP
ON THIS HARASSMENT THING TOGETHER.

NOW, THE LAWYER I TALKED TO
TODAY SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE A MUCH STRONGER CASE...

IF I WAS ABLE TO LINE UP
OTHER WOMEN THAT HUTCH HAD SCREWED OVER.

YOU TALKED TO A LAWYER?
YEAH.

WHEN I TOLD HIM
WHAT HUTCH DID TO ME,

HE WAS SALIVATING
AT THE PROSPECTS.

WHAT EXACTLY DID HUTCH DO TO YOU
TO MAKE YOU GO TO SUCH LENGTHS?

HE THOUGHT HE COULD
DUMP ME AND FIRE ME.

HE USED ME.

OLIVIA WISE DOES NOT
TAKE SHIT LYING DOñWN.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID
HE DIDN'T DUMP YOU.

AH! WHO'S KEEPING SCORE?
IT'S ALL WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE NOW.

HUTCH IS GOIN' DOWN, AND
I AM GONNA BE THERE TO WATCH.

WHAT'S ALL THAT ABOUT,
YOU WANTING HUTCH TO KILL DEWEY?

DID HUTCH TELL YOU THAT?

THAT MAN DOESN'T HAVE THE GUTS
TO KILL ANYONE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE.

LOVE.

HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT LOVE IS,

BUT HE IS GONNA FIND OUT
WHAT HATE IS.

BELIEVE YOU ME.

I BET YOU CAN SEE
30 MILES FROM UP HERE.

SEE THAT LIGHT OUT THERE?
IT'S THE TOP OF MOUNT EVANS.

I SEE IT.

YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE
ON THIS VIEW.

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS
YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON.

TRUE LOVE, FOR INSTANCE.

[ Thudding ]

[ Knocking ]

[ Binny ]
HUTCH? HUTCH!

HUTCH, WAKE UP!
IT'S ME! BINNY!

[ Groans ]
OPEN UP!

[ Knocking Continues ]
OH.

SHUT THE DOOR.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
IT'S AFTER 2:00.

AND DO YOU KNOW WHERE
YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE?

COME IN HERE AND SIT DOWN.

[ Clears Throat ]

[ Snapping Fingers ]

[ Clears Throat ]
SO? WHAT'S GOIN' ON?

WHAT'S GOIN' ON? WELL,
I SET FIRE TO DEWEY'S HOUSE. I MADE SURE HE WASN'T HOME.

I HIT OLIVIA ON THE HEAD
WITH A SCOTCH BOTTLE...

AND THREW HER OFF THE BALCONY
OF HER PRETTY NEW APARTMENT.

I FEEL SURE SHE'S DEAD.
PRETTY PRODUCTIVE NIGHT, WOULDN'T YOU SAY?

UM, YOU DID WHAT?

I ELIMINATED YOUR PROBLEMS!

TELL ME YOU DIDN'T--
DON'T WORRY.

- I MADE IT SO THE POLICE
WON'T SUSPECT YOU. - ME?

I GOT IT ALL FIGURED.
OBVIOUSLY YOU'LL BE A PRIME SUSPECT.

- WHY?
- YOU WERE FUCKING HER.

SHE AND HER LAWYER WERE
GOING TO GET TOGETHER ALL THE WOMEN...

WHO USED TO WORK FOR YOU
THAT YOU'D HAD SEX WITH.

NO.
GUINNESS DOES IT. THE COPS COULD TOO.

IT DOESN'T MATTER. SHE'S DEAD!
THERE WILL BE NO SUIT.

ALTHOUGH I FEEL
CERTAIN THE AUTHORITIES WILL UNCOVER THE TRYSTS...

YOU AND OLIVIA PARTOOK IN
AT THE SLEEP EASY MOTEL.

IT'S NOT GOING
TO BE THAT HARD. YOU WERE LUNCHTIME REGULARS.

YEAH, BUT, UH,
I DIDN'T KILL HER. YOU DID.

YEAH, AND I'D DO IT AGAIN.

AND AS FAR AS KILLING PEOPLE,

I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TEN YEARS
AGO WHEN YOU AND HOLLY...

COOKED UP THAT HAREBRAINED
SCHEME TO KILL COTTON.

NOT THAT I BLAME YOU TWO.

COTTON PROUDFIT WAS A BUTTHOLE
AND A PRICK WHO DESERVED TO DIE FOR WHAT HE DID TO HOLLY.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

I MAKE IT MY BUSINESS
TO KNOW THINGS ABOUT THE MAN I LOVE.

I ALSO KNOW HOW YOU GOT
THE WATER AND MINERAL RIGHTS FROM COTTON'S RANCH.

HE HAD TO SELL THEM OFF
AT A PITTANCE TO PAY FOR A GOOD LAWYER WHEN HE KILLED HOLLY.

THAT WAS GOOD BUSINESS
ON YOUR PART,

IF A BIT DEEP IN IRONY.

I WONDER IF COTTON
EVER FOUND OUT.

WELL, WE'LL DEAL WITH THAT
IF WE HAVE TO.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THAT WAS
THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE.

I HAVE REGRETTED THAT NIGHT.
NONE OF THAT CONCERNS US NOW.

WE GOTTA WORK ON YOUR ALIBI
FOR TONIGHT.

WHY DO I NEED AN ALIBI?
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

WHAT'S YOUR ALIBI?
WHY WOULD I HAVE ANY REASON TO KILL OLIVIA?

LET ME TELL YOU HOW WE'RE
GONNA BEAT THIS. THERE WAS A METHOD TO MY MADNESS TONIGHT.

HEAR ME OUT.
DEWEY AND OLIVIA WERE HAVING PROBLEMS.

YOU AND I AND ANY NUMBER
OF PEOPLE WILL ATTEST TO THAT.

DEWEY WILL BE
THE PRIME SUSPECT IN HER DEATH.

BEFORE I SET THE FIRE,
WHICH WILL BE BLAMED ON OLIVIA,

I BROKE INTO DEWEY'S HOUSE
AND STOLE A PAIR OF HIS SHOES.

THERE'S A SIZE TEN FOOTPRINT
IN SPILLED SCOTCH ON OLIVIA'S BALCONY.

JUST TO CLINCH IT--

I WALKED IN HIS SHOES
ON THE CARPET ON THE WAY OUT OF THE APARTMENT.

[ Laughs ]
[ Laughs ] OH, YOU THINK OF EVERYTHING.

TO COIN YOUR PHRASE,
THAT'S WHAT I GET THE BIG BUCKS FOR.

SO, YOU DID ALL THIS--

DEWEY AND OLIVIA--

THE WHOLE TIME
I'M HOME WATCHING TV?

I HAD A PLAN,
AND I EXECUTED IT.

COPS WON'T GET TO YOU
FOR A WHILE. THEY'LL HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL WITH DEWEY.

WE'LL TOUCH BASE
IN THE MORNING AND FINALIZE YOUR ALIBI.

GET A GOOD NIGHT'S REST,
DARLING.

I--

YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL.

[ Footsteps Departing ]

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

[ Sighs ]

OH, GOD.

[ Knocking ]

WHAT, DID YOU LEAVE
SOMEONE OUT, BINNY?

JESUS CHRIST.

YOU'LL MEET HIM SOON ENOUGH.

NO. NO, NO.

NO, PLEASE, PLEASE.
WHAT?

STOP IT!
[ Groans ]

[ Groans ]

THIS IS GONNA BE
YOUR FINAL RESTIN' PLACE.

YOU MAKE YOUR PEACE
WITH GOD.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?

SHUT UP, ASSHOLE.
YOU MADE ME AN ORPHAN FOR TEN YEARS.

NO!

WHOA. BACK OFF, SON.

WE WANT HIM CONSCIOUS
FOR HIS FINAL RITES.

LOOK, IF IT'S
ABOUT THE WATER--

SHUT UP, SNAKE SHIT.
YOU'RE NOT GETTIN' ANY WATER.

[ Groans ]

OH, GOD.

[ Laughs ]

HOLLY JUST WORKED FOR ME.

ANYTHING THAT'S IN THIS LETTER
IS HER IMAGINATION. YOU CAN'T KILL--

[ Grunts ]
[ Groans ]

YOU CAN'T KILL ME.
YOU CAN'T KILL ME.

BE A MAN FOR ONCE IN
YOUR SORRY LIFE. DON'T BEG.

[ Grunts ]

GET THE RIFLE, SON.

SAYIN' YOUR PRAYERS, RIMES?

DAD, I WANNA DO IT.

YOU HAVEN'T
CALLED ME DAD SINCE--

SINCE BEFORE--

I MISSED YOU--
I MISSED YOU SO MUCH, DAD. OH!

[ Laughs ]

DAD. DAD,
HE'S GETTIN' AWAY.

NO, NO, THAT'S ENOUGH.
THAT'S ENOUGH.

THAT'S NOT HOW I PLANNED IT,
BUT I'LL GET THE BASTARD.

HE'S GOT NO PLACE TO HIDE.

LISTEN.

YOU FOLLOW THERE.
I'LL CIRCLE AROUND.

HE'LL RUN OUT OF COVER SOON.
GIVE ME THE RIFLE.

GO.

I GOT A QUESTION
FOR YOU, RIMES,

BEFORE YOU MEET
YOUR BROTHER DEVILS.

WHAT MADE YOU
PLAN TO KILL ME?

WHY? WHAT WERE YOU AFTER?

TALK TO ME, YOU SON OF A BITCH!

WHY?
WHY'D YOU PUT HER UP TO THIS?

TELL US!
TALK TO US, MAN!

I DIDN'T PUT HER
UP TO ANYTHING.

SHE PLANNED IT ALL HERSELF.

YOU'RE LYIN'!

HOLLY HATED YOU
LIKE NO OTHER.

SHE ENLISTED ME TO HELP,
BUT SHE DIDN'T WANT ME TO KILL YOU.

SHE WANTED YOU FOR HERSELF.
THAT'S HOW MUCH SHE HATED YOU.

SHE SAW YOU TURNING HER SON
INTO ANOTHER YOU,

AND SHE COULDN'T BEAR IT!

SHE WOULDN'T
STAND FOR THAT!

SO SHE WANTED TO KILL YOU
TO SAVE HER SON!

[ Jesse ]
NO!

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughing Continues ]

I HELPED HER.
I WAS THERE THAT NIGHT.

I CAME IN THROUGH THE DOOR
THAT SHE LEFT OPEN.

I WAS THERE,
BUT YOU FUCKED UP...

BY KILLING YOUR WIFE.

HOLLY LOVED ME,

AND SHE COULDN'T STAND
THE GODDAMN SIGHT OF YOU.

[ Groaning ]

[ Spits ]
YOU HIT HER ONE TOO MANY TIMES.

SEE?

YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED
THAT NIGHT, NOT HER.

SHE DID IT FOR YOU, SON.

SHE COULDN'T FACE YOU
TURNING INTO A MONSTER LIKE HIM.

SO GO AHEAD.

YOU CAN BLAME ME.

YOU CAN KILL ME.

BUT YOU KILLED HOLLY.

YOU AND YOUR BOY HAVE
TO LIVE WITH THAT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE,

JUST THE WAY I'VE HAD TO LIVE
FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS...

WITH THE DEATH OF THE WOMAN
THAT I LOVED.

HOLLY... LOVED... ME.

[ Gunshot ]
[ Jesse Groans ]

[ Whimpers, Pants ]

YOU.

I DIDN'T WANT TO KILL HIM,
BUT I HAD NO CHOICE.

HE'S MY SON.

HE'S MY MAN.

[ Gunshot ]
[ Thudding ]

YOU'RE GONNA BE
ALL RIGHT NOW, DARLING. MAMA'S HERE.

YOU CAN SLEEP EASY NOW,
ALL THE WAY HOME.

AUTHORITIES HAVE CONCLUDED THAT LAST MONTH'S TWIN KILLINGS...

AT AN ISOLATED
SAN LUIS VALLEY RANCH...

WILL BE CLASSIFIED
AS A MURDER-SUICIDE.

POLICE BELIEVE THAT CONVICTED
KILLER COTTON PROUDFIT SHOT HIS SON IN A FIT OF RAGE...

AND THEN TURNED
THE MURDER WEAPON UPON HIMSELF.

A SUICIDE NOTE WAS
FOUND WHICH CHRONICLED...
