[***]

We bring you gifts
of rice, corn...

Rice, corn, and...

Squash.

What's squash?

It's like a pumpkin.

Come on, we're gonna be late.
Ms. Hernandez says

someone has to hold our hand
before we go on the street.

Hold each other's hand. Come on,
let's go.

Look out!
Go, Tigers! Whoo!

[GLASS SHATTERING]

[RADIO BLARING]

SETH:
Come on.

CHALMERS:
Lopez!

Where are you,
you lousy drunk?

Where's Pete?

They, uh, they fired him
last week.

For what?

For being drunk.

Oh, that's great.
That is just dandy.

What's your name?
Andy?

Abel.

All right, Abel,
you come with me.

We bought the new system
over the summer

to fix the one we got.

Apparently, Lopez forgot
the part about installing it.

We got homecoming
coming up in five weeks.

It's the only one
in prime time,

and I want this field
looking immaculate.

So?

So can you install
the new one?

I can try.

No, no.

When my boys tell me
they'll try,

I make 'em run laps.

Now just do
what you gotta do,

keep the grass alive
and get it installed.

[LOCKER DOOR CLOSES]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

What's wrong with you,
McArdle, huh?

What, do you like
getting hit or something?

You know, that mirror's
gonna cost at least 200.

And I know
you don't got it.

Swing by the shop,
I'll cut you a deal.

I don't want
to fight you.

I don't want
to fight you either,

but it's not like
I got a choice.

Coach says he catches y'all
fighting again he'll bench you.

Of course he did.
He has to say that.

You know what happened
last time?

Hmm?
All I had to do was run laps.

I don't mind
running laps.

You don't?
I mean, no.

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

Hey, Netty.

What happened
to your face?

Hit somebody's fist
with it.

Well, I hope
they're all right.

She just came in
off the lot.

Take a look?
Yeah.

Yeah,
your transmission's shot.

How much that gonna be?
A used block...

...parts and labor, normally
runs around eight or nine.

Ooh, how much for me?

Seven.

I'm a little short on cash.
Uh, call it five.

I bet you are.
It's seven.

Six.
Seven.

You have no idea
how to negotiate.

When can I get it?

It'll probably be
a day or two.

What are you
doing tonight?

Party over in Armstrong.

I can drive.

I can't.

Why?

[SIGHS]
It's game day.

ANNOUNCER:
Welcome to game two
of your Sinai Tigers.

Billy Hodges lines up
under center.

BOY: Hut, hut!
He's going deep.

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

Flag on the play.

Need those fries, Seth.

Yeah, yeah.
They're coming.

Ow!

[GROANS]

ANNOUNCER:
Booster Club
would like to announce

tickets for the homecoming
danceare on sale tonight.

You'll find
the Booster Club

stationed near
the south entrance

to purchase your tickets before
halftime comes to a close.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

MAN:
How 'bout another drink?

Yeah.

[GAME PLAYING ON TV]

Just orange juice.

Okay.

[DOOR OPENS]

There you go, cheers.

ROGER:
This is a raid.

Everybody out,
but leave the beers.

[SCATTERED LAUGHTER]

Hey, Gil.
Heh, heh, heh.

How's it going, Roger?

Well, we chased a few kids

messing with some cars
out in Lucky Lots.

I was gonna open fire,

if they kept me
much longer.

ANNOUNCER:
Billy Hodges takes a snap.

He's looking deep.
It's intercepted.

[PATRONS REACTING]

Hey, uh, could you
pass me that ashtray?

Hey, what's this
you got here?

It's nothing.
Oh, come on now.

It's private.

I didn't mean to offend.

No offense taken.

ANNOUNCER:
He finds a hole.

Touchdown, Bulldogs.
You're joking.

Looks like it's gonna be
another great season.

Gracias.

[TV PLAYING]

It's 11:30.

I know, the game ran...

My curfew's 11.

You want me to talk
to your dad?

No.
He doesn't like you.

That was six hours,
that's 26 dollars.

Twenty-six?

It's 11:30.
That's overtime.

Next Thursday,
they want me to come in

and work on
some of the fryers.

Are you around?

I have band practice
that night.

Look, Seth, I don't know
if I can do this anymore.

I'm trying to save up
for a car next summer.

The Radcliffe's
just had another baby.

They pay twice as much.

Sorry, Seth.

It's just business.

You had some time
to think about what you did.

What'd I do again?

You picked a fight with
our quarterback on game day.

Is that why he threw
three interceptions?

You think this is a joke?

How long you gonna keep
believing I start fights

with your offensive line?
Until you stop.

Billy said you broke
his mirror.

You gonna suspend me again,
or can I just run some laps?

Oh, I'd expel you
if I could.

But Principal McKnight says

we got to give him
another chance.

We got to take into account
his family situation.

What situation?

You seen your dad lately?

He's around.

I'll bet.

You're 17 now, right?

Your dad was 16
when he quit school,

if my memory
serves me correctly.

The door's right there
if you want it.

So what's my punishment?

I wouldn't look at it
as punishment.

Hey.
Alex, isn't it?

It's, uh...Abel.

Right.
Well, this is Seth.

He's a mechanic.
He's good at fixing things.

And, boy,
does he love to dig.

He's gonna be helping you
with the sprinkler.

You've gotta be kidding me.
When am I gonna have time?

After school,
of course.

Yeah? I've already got
two jobs.

Well, now you got three.
Enjoy.

You speak Spanish?

No.

[DOOR CLOSES]

There's a trashcan
right there.

Why don't you start by
cleaning up the bleachers.

Shouldn't I grab a shovel,
and like start...

Whatever you say, boss.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

[***]

[SNORING]

SETH:
Hey.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Oh.
You gave me a scare.

You need something, buddy?

Um, I'm, uh...

I'm supposed to
give these to, uh...

Mr. Dwight McArdle?

Can never seem to find him.

Uh...

You his son?

Yeah.
Is-- Is he here?

No.

When do you
expect him back?

He's on the road.

[SIGHS]

Okay, um...
Look.

Could you just go ahead
and sign right here.

Just shows I gave these
to somebody.

[YAWNS]

What are they for?

You, um...

should just probably
ask your dad that.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Thanks, pal.

VOICEMAIL:
If this message
is for Dwight McArdle,

long haul trucker,
leave your name,

a number I can reach you,
your cargo

and destination route,
and delivery schedule.

If this message is about
something else, keep it short.

[BEEP]

It's Seth.
Come on, pick up.

Pick up.

All right, I'm gonna keep
calling back till you answer.

I got a letter today,
it's from the bank.

And it's, uh...

It's saying
we owe them money, I think.

I figure that's
your department,

so give me a call back
and tell me what to do.

Oh, and the girls' play,
it's in three weeks.

Just thought
you should know.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

Have you seen
my Harry The Hippo video?

Did you check the VCR?
Yes.

How about underneath that pile
of clothes in your room?

Seth? Are you coming
to my play?

I don't know.

[BELL RINGS]

BOY:
What you gonna do?

Good game
the other night.

Oh, yeah?

Whoa, come on.

Everything okay?

What?

Is that car
bothering you?

Yeah, as a matter of fact,
it is.

Won't give me back
my keys.

Can I borrow this?

Sure.

I know what
you're thinking.

I always open cars
this way.

That's probably a good way
to meet girls.

Did Billy do that
to your face?

No, I've always
looked like this.

Yeah.
He's a bit of a jerk.

Then why are you dating him?
I'm not.

That's not what I hear.

It's complicated.

Do you need a ride?

I, um... I can't,
I got work.

Well, thanks, Seth.

Thank you.

For what?
Um...

For being you.

Okay.

[CHUCKLING]

Bye, Seth.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Thank you for being you.

That's nice.

You're late.

Traffic.

[CHUCKLES]

We start at three.

Yeah, well, I'm here,
ain't I.

Part of holding on to a job is
showing up on time.

Am I getting paid?

This isn't a job.

If you're late again,

Chalmers will hear
about it.

You think I really care?

You know what,
if you, uh...

if you didn't care...

you wouldn't be here
at all.

Start digging.

MAN:
There is now no condemnation

for those who
are in Christ Jesus.

Because through Christ Jesus,
the law of the spirit of life

set me free from the law
of sin and death.

For what the law
was powerless to do,

weakened by sinful nature,

Cary, you're messing it up.
Girls.

in the likeness of sinful
man, as a sin offering.

Cary.

[WHISPERS]
Stop! Give these to me now.

Hello, Seth.
Hi.

Hey, I'm sorry
about the girls.

Oh, no.
That's all right.

God gave us children
to remind us

not to take things
too seriously.

It's good
to see you back.

Yeah. You all started
having luncheons again.

It's one less meal
I have to cook.

You know, Ruth has
some clothes she collected

from when
the Stewarts left.

They had girls, too.
They've got clothes.

I just thought
I'd mention it.

You doing all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

You seen
your dad lately?

Look, we can all see
you're trying hard.

And you're doing an amazing job
with your sisters.

But sometimes the hardest thing
to do is to ask for help.

I don't--I don't need help.
I'm not talking about mine.

Have you tried
asking Him?

I did...

once.

And?

My mom still died.

Thank you
for lunch, though.

Hey, girls.
Ready to go?

[TRAIN HORN BLOWS]

[MEN CHATTERING
INDISTINCTLY]

Keith!

What are you
doing here?

I-I need to talk to you.
You couldn't call?

It's about Dad.

MAN: Keith, you coming?
Yeah.

What you do want?

Have you seen him?
No.

All right, not since
last winter.

Wait. Do you know
where he is?

Probably on
a barstool somewhere.

Because I can't
get a hold of him,

and I've been getting
these letters from the bank.

Yo, Keith!
I'm coming!

Look,
just go home, Seth.

They say we're late in
our payments and we owe them.

Well, that's
not my problem.

Just go away, Seth.

And don't come
out here no more.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]

You know, I keep worrying
that one day you're going

to discover the Supersaver
on County Road 7.

And then I'll never
see you again.

I wonder
if you'd call.

You want that in cash,
or should I just move it

to one of your
offshore accounts?

Cash, please.

If my husband ever hears about
our little intimate encounters,

he's liable to come around
with his 12-gauge.

Probably best if we keep
these private conversations...

discreet.

Bye, Sugar.

Bye.

See you next week.

[PLAYERS SHOUTING,
WHISTLE BLOWING]

MAN:
Move it. Get on your marks,
let's go.

What?

Hey, I got an idea.

Today, how about you dig,
and I sit in here and pretend

to put together
the water pump?

Oh, okay, all right.
Okay, the silent game. Yeah.

You know, I love this one.
It's usually...

It's usually one
of my favorites.

MAN 1:
Go! Middle, middle,
middle, middle!

MAN 2:
Come on now. Stay focused!

MAN 2:
That's it, boy!

Hey, Mrs. Johnson, I'm back.

Mrs. Johnson?

Hey, Cary,
where's Mrs. Johnson?

She left.

She left? When?

I don't remember.

She wrote a note
on the refrigerator, I think.

Did you guys get dinner?

I made us some cereal.

Seth?
Yeah.

Are we okay?

What do you mean?

You're not
eating anything.

How do you know?

The bread
has fuzz on it.

What did you guys do
with your lunches?

We traded them
with Perry Lee.

Smart.

Um, all right, I'll go
to the store tomorrow.

So are we?

What?

Are we okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, we're okay.

I'm going to play
a little before bed.

[***]

[SIGHS]

You probably saw.

But we got our tails
handed to us in our last game...

good old-fashioned
butt-kicking.

Afterwards, I sent
the whole team on a little run

down to
the Stop & Go.

It was their punishment.
And you know what?

They did it without
comment or complaint.

They did it, because they knew
they had done something wrong.

I'm the football coach, Seth.

People do what I tell 'em.
I was...

I told you to be here
at 3:00 sharp

and help with this field.
But you...

It's 3:30 now.
But you can ask them...

It's 3:30!

And I told you this was your
last chance, and I meant it.

Tomorrow morning, I'm going
to Principal McKnight,

and I'll make sure that...
Hey, Seth.

You get that pipe cutter?
What?

Our cutter's rusted out.
I sent Seth to get another one.

Did they have it?

No. No, no,
they didn't have it.

But I'll check
tonight at the shop.

You sent him out.
Well, yeah.

There wasn't that much
to do today.

Can't do any digging
on game day, right, Coach?

You come with me.

Hey, I was just leaving.
You finish that Chevelle?

It's parked out back.

Whoo. Taking her down
to El Paso tonight.

What, you closing early?
Yeah.

Yeah, I got to get
to the school before the game.

I left my geometry book
in my locker.

It's after six. The school's
locked up for sure.

Not for me it ain't.

ANNOUNCER:
The 0 and 3 start

isn't what Coach Chalmers
had in mind going into

Sinai's last home game
before their road trip.

SETH:
Hey, Cary, up here.

I'll check on them
at halftime, okay?

Move, come on.
Let them sit.

You two be good.

WOMAN:
Yeah. Go, team, go.

[***]

BOY:
Okay, guys.

Let's go.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

ANNOUNCER:
Hodges gets the call
from Chalmers.

[SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

Tigers line up
with one in the backfield.

Fumble off the snap.
[WHISTLE BLOWS]

Challenger's ball.

Turnovers have been costly
this year for the Tigers.

They're averaging
just over three a game.

Here you go.

Look what I found.
What?

Where were they?
Down in the student section.

Girls, what were you doing
down there? Girls?

It was Cary's idea.
What was? Cary, what?

We wanted to get
our faces painted.

Well, I told you
to stay with Miss Pearl.

Do you remember that?
She smelled bad.

I don't care
how she smelled.

It's okay. I can watch them
for the rest of the game.

No, really.
You don't have to do that.

I know.

And I can paint
your faces.

You sure?

All right. Okay.
Thank you very much, really.

How's the game, girls?

Good.
Good.

Okay. Now there you go.

Come on, girls.
Your brother's got to work.

SETH:
Be good.

Are you Seth's girlfriend?

ANNOUNCER:
As we take this time now,

we'd like to mention our
sponsor tonight, Lucky Lots.

Stop by their lot today
to find all the best deals

for your next vehicle.

Take your sister inside.

Just brush your teeth
and go right to bed, okay?

[***]

At least your mother
kept everything.

What are you
looking for?

My football trophies.

"Most Improved Player."

"Best Receiver,
2A Regionals."

That one's mine.

You know I found him.

Dad?

Where is he?

Ashland Park Cemetery,
Oklahoma.

He's dead?

Yeah, about
two months ago.

A heart attack.

At least that's
what his wife said.

Wife?

I guess you didn't know him
quite as good as I did.

He was more into making families
than he was keeping 'em.

What about the house
and the girls?

I reckon you got a month or two
before the bank kicks you out.

Then Linda can
look after the girls

just like
good old times.

She'll be no better to them
than she was with me.

What are we going to do?

We?

We. Where do you find a we
in all of this?

I ain't your family.

Where are you going?
I'm going home...

and back to my life.

Keith.

Look, you want to know
the truth?

For the longest time,

I never even
considered us brothers.

I mean, we ain't never
had nothing in common

except for a lousy
excuse for a dad.

And now we ain't even
got that.

See you around, Seth.

SETH:
I'm looking for a Mr. Gates.

Yeah, yeah, I called earlier.
I had asked about a loan.

WOMAN [OVER P.A.]:
And don't forget to buy

your homecoming dance tickets
by Friday.

Okay.

Well, what time do you all
stay open until?

Um, no, no, that's fine.

It's just that, I mean,
I have school.

High school, yes.

Okay, well, do you know
what time he'll be in?

Yes, yes, I'll hold.

Sorry I'm late, I had to--
Just grab a pipe over there.

Does it matter?
Nope, either one.

So you don't
speak Spanish, huh?

Thanks, uh...

Thanks for fixing
the water pump.

Thanks for
covering for me.

[MAN SPEAKING SPANISH]

[SETH SPEAKING SPANISH]

[CAR ARRIVES]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[IN ENGLISH]
How was El Paso?

I don't want
to talk about it.

What's going on?

Uh, I had an idea.

We're not getting
matching tattoos, no.

The school just changed safes.
What?

In McKnight's office, under
his desk, he keeps the safe

where they keep all
the school's short cash.

And they just replaced it.

How do you know?

My cousin did the paperwork.
You still got that key, right?

No.
Crap.

Look, just hear me out, okay?
I'm not robbing a school.

But it'll be easy.
For what?

They probably only got a couple
hundred bucks in there.

You'd be better off
rolling first-graders

for their lunch money.
They keep concessions

and ticket sales
in there in cash.

Homecoming? I mean, that's--
that's 10, 20 grand.

You can't be serious.

There's no way. I mean,
you get caught jaywalking.

Look, I have
the reset combo.

I know exactly where it is.

All I need is for you
to help me get inside.

I'm not
helping you out.

Well, if you're scared, I mean,
I could just take the key.

I'll do it myself.
I ain't scared.

I'm-- I'm just not
robbing the school.

You don't
need the money?

Stay out of it.

Seth, I'm sorry.

Hey, I'm sorry, man.
I just had a rough night.

Look, just forget
I said it, all right?

Okay, you two,
I think it's ready.

Mary, help your sister.

Mary.

She's mad at you.
Why are you mad at me?

Why is she mad at me?

You bought the wrong kind
of macaroni.

What kind do I usually buy?

You usually buy stars.

And she won't eat noodles?

This is what's for dinner so
if you don't like it, then...

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Hello, Seth.

Hi, Pastor.

What are you doing here?

Well, my wife
was baking,

and she got a little
carried away.

[GASPS]
Are those cookies?

You girls
like chocolate chip?

So much for dinner.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Ah, it's all right.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Look, I heard
about your dad.

I'm so sorry, Seth.

I thought-- I thought
you might want this.

If you want Ruth and me

to look after the girls
for a bit--

No.

We could do a service
for your dad at your mom's.

I'm sure his new wife
took care of that.

You know, it's okay
to ask for help.

That's what
we're all here for.

You don't have
to be alone on this.

I don't really have
a choice.

If you reach out--

Can God make
my house payments?

Seth--
Thanks for the cookies.

[DOORBELL DINGS]
[POP MUSIC PLAYING]

Pizza and soda pop.

Somebody is having themselves
a party tonight.

What time
should I come over?

You're right,
you're right,

we should learn
to appreciate intellect

before we let
the physical take over.

I learned that
from Cosmopolitan.

Bye, Sugar.

I'll see you later, Rose.

Mm-hmm.

[SIGHS]
[DOORBELL DINGS]

what do they know?

[SCHOOL BELL RINGING]
Keith, hey, it's Seth.

Just listen, okay. Um...

Thursday the 28th
at 10:30.

Yes, yes, in the morning.

All right, you got it?

All right,
'cause I made an appointment.

It's at the bank.

Keith.

Keith.

Please.

Look, it-it'll take
half an hour and that's it.

All right,
did you write it down?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, all right,
bye, Seth.

I saw you leaving
the bar last week.

You drink there a lot?

I've been in there
a few times,

but I don't drink though.

No way.

A man with
that many tattoos drinks.

Not everyone looks like
what they are, Seth.

So how did you
end up here?

What, in Sinai?

Yeah, like mopping
floors and stuff.

I was just
passing through,

saw that they needed
some help at the school.

Sinai's a shortcut
to nowhere.

No one passes through.

Where'd you come from?

Nowhere in particular.

Well, you're
full of specifics.

If you're headed past
the junction,

my house is on the way.

Sure.

Yeah, this is me.

Nice.

Yeah.

[SETH AND ABEL CHUCKLE]

SETH:
The terror twins from Texas.

[GIRLS GIGGLE]
Actually, they're great.

Any siblings?

I had a brother.

[GIRLS GIGGLE]

I'd better get inside.

Yeah, I'll see you
tomorrow.

SETH:
What are you two up to?

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]

MAX:
Hey, Coach.

Scotch and water.
Easy on the water.

Rough night, huh?

Rough season.

Keep 'em coming.

Do you like scotch?

I'm-- I'm all right.

CHALMERS:
Max, get him one too.

Here.

It's Abel, right?

Yes, sir.

You know, you must have
played some ball,

a man your size.

A little.

You any good?

You know, I got to go.
It's getting late.

Oh, come on now,
don't be rude.

A man drinking with a friend
is out having a good time,

but a man drinking alone
is just an alcoholic.

Sit down.

To new friends
in strange places.

You like
being a janitor?

It's good work.

Yeah, it is.

I got to say, you've done
a good job with the field.

And you put up
with McArdle.

Seth's been good.

He just needed
to be given a chance.

No, that kid's had
every chance in the world.

Before I left for Austin,

I used to coach
an under-14 league here.

Seth was my quarterback.

He didn't
tell you that, did he?

Boy, did I put in
some time on him.

He had an arm strong
as any I've ever seen.

I'd been following him since
he was seven years old.

But that family of his.

One day, he didn't come
to practice.

Then before long,
he just quit me.

Football would have done
so much for that boy.

Well...

You're
all right, Abel.

Now the moment of truth:

The walk home.

MAN:
Come on, you guys, let's go!

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

He shouldn't pat
the ball like that.

It makes him
a good target.

[CHUCKLES]

That's the least
of his worries.

He was the one
fighting you?

Yeah.

And, um,
two of the guards,

the center,

and the tight end,
I think.

You don't believe much
in odds, do you?

If they're always bad,
I figure, why look?

I don't know,
maybe you should.

I mean, that kid,
he's just been wailing on me

since before
I could walk.

We just kind of come
from different places

and that's--
that's how it is.

I didn't start this fight.
I'm just kind of part of it.

Did you ever think of
not fighting back?

It's kind of hard when
you're the one getting hit.

He wouldn't
expect it though.

Nah, I guess
he wouldn't.

BOY 1:
Someone go get that ball.

BOY 2:
You tryin'
to show off, princess!

BOY 1:
Reset! Throw it again!

Nice throw.

I got lucky.

What are you
waiting for?

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

Hey.

Hi.
[CHUCKLES]

Did your--
Did your car get home?

Yeah.
Good.

Um, so, uh, I don't know
if you want to--

KATIE: Yeah.
Okay.

All right, when,
uh, what time?

Uh, seven?

Okay, that's
a good time.

Yeah.
Okay.

Um, um, okay.

Okay.
Thank you.

You're welcome.
Bye, Seth.

See ya.

So, um...

what are you doing
Saturday night?

CARY AND MARY:
We're waiting.

All right.

Well, what do you think?

[LAUGHTER]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

You're both grounded.

Hey.
Hey.

SETH:
All right, girls, this is Abel.

He's going to be watching you
until I get back, so be good.

So, what do I do?

Um, well, they're scared
of you, so that's good.

Um, if they're hungry, there's
sandwiches in the fridge.

What-- What if
they're not hungry?

See if they want
to watch a movie.

Look, I got to go.

Yeah, but...

Yeah?

Are you a giant?

[FIFTIES ROCK 'N' ROLL
MUSIC PLAYING]

This is good.

I still can't believe

that of all the places
we could have gone,

you picked
the hot dog stand.

Well, I can't believe
that you ordered a salad.

I eat hot dogs
all day at work.

Oh, right.

Can I ask you something?
Sure.

Why did you say yes?

You're asking me this now?

Yeah, I can't
figure it out.

I don't know,
it sounded interesting.

I don't know
how to take that.

Take is as a compliment.

'Cause until
a few weeks ago,

you wouldn't have said more
than a couple words to me.

Why did you ask me out?

'Cause I didn't think
you'd say yes.

Why not?

You know why.

'Cause I wouldn't go out
with a guy that orders a salad.

[CHUCKLES]
I'm serious, though.

I don't know.

I saw you at a game
with your sisters,

and I realized that
I knew nothing about you.

I mean, we've known each other
since I moved here,

but I didn't know
much more

than what I heard
other people say,

so I thought maybe
I should give him a chance.

So I did.

You want
to get out of here?

Yeah.

[SETH CHUCKLES]

You did not sign
my yearbook.

No, no, I swear I did.

I wrote, um, "Have
a wonderful summer." Yeah.

Oh, well, that's so original.
How could I forget?

Did you sign your name?
[DOOR OPENS, BELL JINGLES]

No, I don't think
I did.

Katie!

What are you two
doing here?

Just hangin' out.

Could we get a ride?
Josh was supposed

to pick us up,
but he got called in for work.

Yeah, of course.

Sure.

It was a little more than
Daddy said I could spend,

but once I tried it on,
I knew I needed it.

So did y'all get
your dresses yet?

I'm still waiting on the boys
to decide on a color.

GIRL 2:
Ugh, I know they'll
pick something awful.

Did you get
your dress yet?

Uh, I'm still deciding.
You better decide soon.

Billy said he'll match
what you're wearing.

Hey, Seth, what color
do you think Katie should wear?

I think she looks good
in all of 'em.

Lemonade?

Thanks.

How were they?

[TRAIN HORN BLOWS
IN DISTANCE]

They talk a lot.

We watched
"Harry The Hippo."

How many times?
Six.

Whew.

Yeah.

[TRAIN HORN CONTINUES]

So, what happened tonight?

Nothing.

You all right?

Yeah.

The whole thing
was a mistake anyway.

I mean, I've known Katie since
she moved here from Austin,

and it was kind of silly
for me to think that...

things would suddenly
just be different.

[TRAIN PASSING]

My dad's dead.

I'm sorry to hear that.

But the weird thing is,
is I'm not that torn over it.

But a part of me
is missing the thought

that there was
going to be someone

that's going
to take care of things.

It's probably
a childish thing to say.

When did you find out?

Just a few weeks ago.

Do you believe in God?

Yes.

How about Jesus?

I do.

So then,
like whatever you've done,

or whatever
mistakes you've made,

like He forgives that,
right?

Yes.

But it doesn't mean
that we forgive ourselves.

We all make
mistakes, Seth,

and most of the time
we don't feel we have a choice.

But you always
have a choice.

My dad used to say,

"The way is narrow."

What does that mean?

It's a bible verse.

It means that there are
a lot of ways to be wrong,

but there's
only one way to be right.

How do you know
the right way?

It's usually the hardest.

Thanks for the lemonade.

WOMAN:
No running. No running, boys.

My beard itches.

Eli, if you don't
scratch it,

it's not going
to itch, okay?

Okay.
See? Okay. What?

Have you seen our brother?
No, I haven't.

But you need
to get into position.

And try to be happy,
because it's Thanksgiving.

Thanks, man.
I know that was a drive.

Sure thing.

Hey, don't forget this.

We'd make a good team.

I could
help you out a lot.

I gotta go.

[TIRES SCREECH]

Hi.

Hi.
That'll be three dollars.

Okay.

Oh, okay, uh, you're not
going to believe this,

but I left my wallet
in my other pants.

[SCOFFS]

Okay, you're not going
to believe this.

Um, you know, if it's
just three dollars--

I'm really sorry,
I'm really going to have

to ask you
to find your wallet.

But you see, my sisters,
they're, they're--

I'm really sorry.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDS WITHIN]

Okay.

[***]

Oh, man, you McArdles
have no luck.

Hey, guys.

So, um...

What's this I hear
about you taking Katie out?

I don't want
to fight you, Billy.

I mean, you know...

I don't want
to fight you either.

[GRUNTS]

Everybody in first positions,
okay? First positions.

ANNOUNCER: Take your seats.
MS. HERNANDEZ: Okay, smile.

Get 'em, Billy.
BILLY: Come on, you little girl.

What's wrong?
Fight back.

Fight back!
What are you doing?

What's the matter with you?
Coach, come on.

Let him go!
Get out of here, Seth, now.

Come on, man. Let me go.
Shut up, Billy.

I said shut up!

We bring you gifts of rice,

corn, rice...

Corn and...

[WHISPERING]
Squash.

I know that.

Nah.

I got a hot date

Please?
Fine, these are the last two

Hey, what's that?

Can I see?

It's for you.

Do you like the picture?

Hi.

Are you all right?

That's a silly question.

Do you want to talk about it?

No.

Would you like to roast
marshmallows with us?

If that's all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's fine.

No.

No, I don't hate you.

Everybody expected

It's okay.

No, it's not.

I talk like
I'm so different.

I'm sorry.

[***]

What are you doing here?
Nice to see you too.

Did you look at this?

No.

It was just laying out here.

I glanced at it for a second.
You shouldn't have.

I'm sorry.
It wasn't my business.

I'm just not used
to seeing people up here.

You caught me off guard.

Yeah.

Abel, um, would you mind
joining me somewhere?

I come up here
on her birthday.

I used to come
a lot more, but, uh...

My mom, she was a...

She was real active
in the church.

So when she got bad, they...

They asked her
where she wanted to be put.

And, uh, that's all
they could do for her.

On one of her last
good days,

she came out here
and she picked this spot.

I remember I asked her why,
since it's far away

from everyone else, and...

she said that at mid-day,
when it's the hottest...

this tree right here
would provide some shade

so that when we all
came to visit her,

we'd stay cool.

I only come out
on her birthday.

My dad was supposed to go
right next to her.

You're trying, Seth.
That's all you can do.

I'm sure that's
what she would have wanted.

I don't know how long
I can keep going.

I know it's not
my place, but...

Have you tried
asking Him for help?

Not you too.

Don't take it
the wrong way.

How you talk to God,

it ain't nobody's business
but your own.

But if I've learned
one thing,

is that you have to be honest
when you're talking to him.

And I mean
deep down honest.

Otherwise you're just
going through the motions.

Above all things,
He knows.

He knows a lot.

How do you know
when you're being that honest?

For me, it came
when I had nothing left.

[LINE RINGING]

Come on, Keith.

FEMALE VOICE:
The mailbox belonging to...

Keith McArdle...
...is full.

Please let this work.

Are you sure you don't want
a drink of water, honey?

Uh, no.
Thank you, ma'am.

Do you give out a lot?

What?
A lot of loans?

Mr. Gates,
does he give out a lot?

It depends.

Is there anything I can say
that might help?

Anything that he likes or...

He likes football.

Football.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]

Yes, sir.

All right.

Mr. Gates will see you now.

Okay.

Thank you.

I thought there was going
to be two of you.

Seth, right?
Yes, sir.

Please sit.

It was my brother,
and he couldn't make it.

Something came up.
I'm sorry to hear that.

Isn't this a school day?
Yes, sir. I have a pass.

I don't have to be in
till about twelve.

Well, what can I do for you?

Well, um, I--I need
another loan.

It's for my house.

Um, you see, I make
about--about $250 a week.

And with the government checks,
that puts us in at about $300.

And now I can afford
a $400-a-month payment.

Oh, and these are the pay stubs
from Nate Jones.

And, um, I can give you
references from my two jobs.

Well, three, actually.

I'm afraid
there's been a mistake.

What? If I missed something,
I'm sure I have it.

Whatever it is.
No. It's my mistake.

I think I misunderstood
your phone call.

I thought you were coming
to pay your dad's late fees.

The 8,000.

Yeah, I don't have the 8,000.

But what I'm showing you here
is that...

I can make these payments.
It's too late.

What do you mean?

Unless you can come up
with the 8,000

for the late fees, it doesn't
matter about the payments.

Uh, then where are we
supposed to go?

[***]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

What?

Sorry to bother you.
Are you?

The field's done.

It's done?
Yes, sir.

Where's Seth?

I--I sent him home.

Yeah, he's probably eager
to get out of here.

Well, good job.

I take it you're fine with
resuming your previous duties.

Yeah, I guess.

Anything else?

No, sir.

Abel, how would you feel
about coming on

as a permanent groundskeeper?

I thought so.

There's no need
to thank me, you earned it.

Only thing is,
I started your paperwork

and your name and Social
didn't come up in the system.

Probably just some mistake.
I tell you what.

Why don't you go down
to the Sheriff's?

He does all our
fingerprinting for us.

They're expecting you today,
and they'll get it sorted out.

Fingerprinted.

Yeah. Everybody who's
full time has to do it.

[***]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Seth.

Um, I--I need your help.

I'm losing the house.

All this work
and it's been for nothing.

It's not.
It's not all for nothing.

Where are you going?

You're leaving.

You're leaving,
aren't you?

Seth, I don't have
a choice.

Don't have a choice?

So all that stuff
that you said to me,

it doesn't apply to you?

Was anything you said true?
Of course, it was.

Yeah?
Where's the proof?

And you?

I hope you don't think I should
use you as this example,

because you're taking the easy
way out now, aren't you?

Aren't you?

You wouldn't understand.

Wouldn't understand?

Have you had to support
your kid sisters

while your father abandons you
to marry another woman?

Have you had a brother
who's hated you

his whole life
for no reason at all?

You know nothing about me.
Exactly.

Because you talk a lot,

a whole lot,
about being honest.

These life lessons that
your family taught you and--

And you don't know the first
thing about living them.

'Cause you live your life
just taking the easy path.

Running from something.
You're always running.

You aren't truthful.

Not truthful to me, yourself,
and definitely not to Him,

'cause you don't care about
anyone but yourself!

You know nothing about me!

Nothing!

Seth. Seth. Seth.
Seth, I'm sorry. Seth!

I did, but...

then I-- I couldn't.

Then he tried
to take my key and...

I know I should
have done more to--

I'm so stupid!

I shouldn't have
even been there.

Would you just
say something?

I'm proud of you.

What?

I'm proud of you.

Did you hear me?
I helped Netty break in.

I was right there.

You also said
that you stopped.

And you tried to stop him.

You're going to be okay, Seth.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Look, I gotta go.
I have to.

Don't.
Look, that's-- Don't worry.

When I'm gone, they'll
blame me for the break-in.

So just let them.

I can't. I'm not
going to let you.

Wait, why?

I haven't-- I haven't been
completely honest with you.

I lied about one thing.

Abel...

was my brother's name.

I wish I could say that his
death was an accident, but...

it wasn't. See, I--
I wanted him dead.

That's why I killed him.

I killed my own brother.

The rage that I had,
the jealousy...

You know, it was just
gnawing at me so deep.

And I just thought that...

I thought there was
no other way.

After that night I ran.
You see, I--

I've been running ever since.

And I know that God
has forgiven me, but I...

never forgave myself.

I'm so tired.

I can stop running now.

Where are you going to go?

I'm going home.

Yeah, I'm going home.

Thank you.

Why?

I talked to the bank,

Look, it was either Linda's

Where were you?

ABEL:
Seth.

When I came here,
I was a different man,

haunted by the past.

I thought I had to be alone.

That it was my punishment.

These drawings were all I had.

And I poured my life into them
instead of people.

You showed me that
I don't need them anymore.

In a few days, I'll be home.

I don't know what's left
of the farm

or if my family's still there,
or even if they'd have me.

I don't know
what God has planned,

I said I wasn't scared, but...

I know I'm not alone.

no matter how dark it gets,

He's with you too.
