out there tonight.

The great Laurie Scarlett.

She'll be in town on the 27th--

- [Mark] Yeah, well he
needs it by the weekend.

I'm gonna auction off
with all his equipment.

I guess he's retiring.

Give me a minute.

Oh man.

You have no idea what
I'm lookin' at right now.

(crash)

That crazy drunk is
outside Mini Mart

throwin' beers against the wall.

- [Voiceover] Who?

- Oh man.

- [Voiceover] Jimmy?

- Yeah.

He's gonna get
himself busted again.

I better stop him.

- [Voiceover] No, you don't.

You let him get in trouble.

He is no good.

- [Mark] Come on, Darlene.

- [Voiceover] Let God and
the police sort it out.

He's where he belongs.

- No, look, my Dad'd
go crazy if I let him--

- [Voiceover] Mark, come home.

I'm not going to
waste my breath.

Don't you get
involved with this.

Especially after what he
pulled at band practice.

- Look, I'll be there
in a little bit.

- [Voiceover] May play out
but you are gonna sit there

right in front and stare
him down, that's all I know.

- Yeah, we're not gonna do that.

- [Voiceover] Yes we are, too.

- Darlene.

- [Voiceover] Just come home.

- Yeah.

(crashing)

(lively bluegrass music)

- How 'bout you change
outta those church clothes.

- We're already dirty.

- Well don't ruin em.

- [Mark] Look, I won't.

So answer me, Dad.

Look, answer me!

What are you gonna
do about Jimmy?

- It's his band, it's
what he's been livin' for.

- [Mark] Man, it's
your band, too.

- Yes it is.

- So?

- [Cowboy] Mark,
Mark, pay attention!

- [Bearded man] So what?

- So he comes right
out of prison,

all of a sudden he's
in charge again.

- [Bearded man]
He's not in charge.

- Man he acts like it.

- [Voiceover] Hey
(mumbles), get over there.

- [Mark] Jesus, I don't even
know why you put up with him.

(laughing)

- [Bearded man]
That's a mystery.

- Look, it's not that funny.

- Come on Mark, you're
spookin' the horses.

- I'm not laughin' at you, son.

- I've been workin' my
ass off writin' songs,

and learnin' all this stuff

and he doesn't give
a shit about that.

- [Bearded man] I shouldn't
have put you in the band.

- Yeah but you did .

- I shouldn't have
put you in the band

without talking to Jimmy first.

- [Mark] Man, he was in
prison, he has no say.

- Your aunt Kathy has
asked you to keep it down.

- I'm sick of him,
Jimmy Poole is no good.

- Hey!

Jimmy's been in your
life for 20 years.

- Man, Jimmy Poole's no good.

Open that gate.

(lively bluegrass music)

- Your boy's got a lot of fire.

- It's good he got
it from somewhere.

- [Bearded man]
You and I never had

a strong point of
view between us.

(languid country music)

- How's Jimmy?

- He's still
gettin' on his feet.

- (sigh)

(moves into bursting
country music)

- [Mark] God damn it.

Ah, man.

(crow cawing)

Woah.

(birds chirping)

(playful country music)

Shit.

(water moving)

(splashing)

Shit!

- [Brunette girl] (laughing)

- [Mark] What are
you laughin' at?

- (laughing) You
look sorta ridiculous

in your bun-huggers and all.

- Is that so?

You better not.

(trotting country music)

Do uh, do I look ridiculous now?

(laughing)

- [Mark] do I?

(laughing)

Hey, give me my hat!

Where you goin'?

(trotting country music)

- Momma.

- [Voiceover] Oh, can it.

He was takin' me to a wedding.

We don't know anybody.

- We know Pastor Simple.

He wants us to tell
people about church.

- Yeah, well nobody's
gonna wanna talk to me

if I look like a beggar.

Mark, people still
think Darly and I

are sisters all the time.

(laughs) I'm thrilled.

- [Blonde man] Meg.

- Alright, you kids
have a good night.

Do something
romantic, make babies.

- Ugh, leave!

- Bye, Mark.

(door closing)

- You want to do
somethin' romantic?

(snapping fingers)

- I dunno babe, just don't
think it's that funny.

You strippin' naked for
a totally strange girl.

- [Mark] It wasn't like that.

I put my underwear on my
head to scare her off.

It was funny.

- You did?

Did she laugh?

- [Mark] Well she was
laughin' her ass off.

- What if someone saw you,
out in public and all that.

- Look, God made us
that way to begin with,

and God don't make any mistakes.

'Least not with me anyways.

- What if someone from
church had walked by

and seen you naked with
your underwear on your head?

- [Mark] Then they would have
thought I was a crazy heathen

just like the rest of my family.

- Are you making fun of me?

You better not be.

Your family is not funny.

How they brought you up
with sin all around you.

And then one of them, that
Jimmy, off to prison, of course.

Now he's back, who knows
what he's capable of now.

They can't redeem some of
those people, Mark, it's true.

Then they just let 'em out
'til they commit another crime

and then they're back in
prison doin' what all they

do in there.

I'm glad you're done with that.

I'm glad you don't have to be
in a band with them anymore.

- You know that's my Dad
you're talkin' about, Darlene?

- I know that, Mark.

I do know.

Your poor Momma gettin' off the
drugs after it was too late.

- Too late for what?

- I'm just sayin',
it's also a good thing

that you're not in
that band anymore.

Look, we got a
Christian life, here.

It's good, right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

That's because we're
livin' the Lord's way.

When we have our babies we're
gonna raise 'em right, too.

They're not gonna be
exposed to a contrary life

or the drugs, or any
of it like you had to.

(clock ticking)

So what was her name?

- Who?

- [Darlene] The woman
you stripped naked for.

Church baptizes
people in that water.

- I think maybe I
shouldn't have had...

I think maybe I
shouldn't have had

Mark front the group
this past year.

- Alright, well,
it's all figured out.

He took it like a champ.

- I don't think he
did take it too well.

- He'll get over it.

- He talked to me
about it this morning.

He thought that
he'd still have a--

- He thought that he
was gonna take my place

in my band.

That kid's got balls, I mean

that's good.

You gotta hand the kid
his balls (laughs).

- He does, and (mumbles)

- Yeah, see Tyler, he
got a wake up call.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm back.

- Yeah.

- He uh...

he was a good placeholder.

He kept the band's chops up.

- He did a real nice job.

- Yeah, good.

What's your point, Ty?

- (exhale) We couldn't
just stop playing

because you got
yourself in trouble.

- Well, you didn't stop.

- No, 'cause Mark
stepped in nicely.

- What?

- (chuckles) 'Cause
Mark stepped in nicely.

- Well, that's what I said.

You know, for a kid I'm
sure he did a nice job.

- He's not a kid.
- What the hell is your point?

- He's not a kid!

- What's your point, Ty, you
want me out of my own band?

- I'm not saying that at all.

- Well, that's a relief,
'cause fat chance.

- Oh shut up, Jimmy.
- [Jimmy] Hell no.

Fat chance!

(clanging)

I front that band.

I been waitin'
three years for it.

- He's not a kid.

He's a grown man and he put a
lot of himself into that band.

- Into my band, Tyler.

I grew that band
for years and years.

- We both did.

- Yeah we both did.

- We really didn't know
when you were comin' back.

- What the hell does that mean?

I got sentenced to three
years, I served three years.

- I've been waitin'
around forever.

Who you been talking to?

- I could have been
waitin' forever and

I won't do it.

You understand me?

- Alright.
- Never again, Jimmy.

- Alright.

- I put Mark in the band,
and he did a real nice job,

and he doesn't deserve
to be kicked aside.

- Is that your point?

- He's good.

- That better be your point, Ty,

'cause I'm not gonna
stand around here

listen to this bullshit

about how you're a widow
because I'm a big loser?

Y'know every visiting day

this same snotty, jilted
bullshit was drippin' off you

like I had killed
your dog or something.

- [Ty] Yeah?
- Every time.

- I messed up comin'.

- That's right, you did.

- You were gettin' meaner
and meaner in there

and I don't want any of it.

Never again.

- Are you drawin' a
line in the sand, Ty?

Are you givin' me an ultimatum?

I raised that boy right
along with you for 20 years.

I was right there.

And now I'm no good?

(door slamming)

No good!

Tyler, you got it
all figured out!

- [Pastor] Morning, everyone.

- [Crowd] Morning.
- [Pastor] Ooh.

(crowd laughing)

- That was the perkiest one yet.

So we've heard a lot
about John the Baptist.

John the Baptist this,
John the Baptist that.

How he was a colorful dresser,

how we was an aromatic fellow.

We wouldn't want him sitting

next to us this
morning in church.

(crowd laughs)
- [Crowd] No.

- But Jesus, you see, chose
John the Baptist, the baptizer

as his spiritual facilitator.

And when John the
Baptist relaxed a little

and anointed Jesus,

well, all the heavenly fireworks
did begin, didn't they?

And he saw the spirit of
God come down like a dove

and a light on him and he
heard the voice of heaven say,

"This is my son whom I love.

With him I am well pleased."

So I suggest to you

that our heavenly Father

is both well pleased with
his only son Jesus, and with

the eccentric,
colorful, fragrant

John the Baptist.

(bells ringing melodically)

- My reading this morning
will be from the Book of Luke.

"The Word of God came to
John, son of Zechariah

"in the wilderness.

"He went into all the
region around the Jordan

"proclaiming a
baptism of repentance

"for the forgiveness of sins

"as it is written in
the book of the words

"of the prophet Isaiah.

"The voice of one crying
out in the wilderness.

"Prepare the way of the Lord.

"Make his path straight.

"Every valley shall be filled

"and every mountain and
hill shall be made low.

"And the crooked shall
be made straight.

"And the rough ways made smooth.

"And all flesh shall see
the salvation of God.

"Amen."

(bells ringing melodically)

- Moses came to
Pharaoh, and he said,

"Please, Pharaoh, let
my people be free."

And Pharaoh said, "No."
- [Girls] No!

- Moses came back the
next day and he said,

"Please, free my people!"

And Pharaoh said, "No!"
- [Girls] No!

- Hugh!

But you see, Mark,
the Lord forgives.

Well you haven't
done anything wrong,

but we all have at some
point in our lives.

So your best defense
is a good offense.

To live a good life.

Make your family.

Give me some grandbabies,
okay? (laughing)

I'm sure you and Darlene
got that all figured out.

But you're doin' what you
can on that count, huh?

Am I right, slugger?
- Mhm.

- Am I right? Hm?

- [Darlene] Mark, will
you carry this box

out to the truck, please?

It's stuff Mom says we
need for the kitchen.

- Yeah.
- Oh, right, right, it's just

a few things you shouldn't
have to be goin' without.

Times is hard, we know.

We started off with
nothin', just like you.

And I don't imagine
there's too many people

botherin' to buy those old
cars you like to fix up.

Have you thought about
Medvelle Chevy, sales?

Well sure ya have.

- I was talkin' about Jimmy.

- I heard you talkin', I
didn't know what you meant.

- Well it's anyway,
it's good to have Jimmy

back to singin' again.

- Mark, Kyle was just
sayin' earlier that uh

you did a real good
job while I was away.

- Man, I'd still be doin' a

Are you okay, did he hurt you?

Baby, give a call home,
I've gotta know you're okay.

- [Meg] (mumbles) You know,

- [Darlene] Mark, why
don't you call home?

I'm sittin' here waitin'.
- [Meg] Darlene?

Tell him, he don't

- [Jimmy] Your son
kicked me, hard.

- [Ty] This is your
son, right now.

If you two don't
get it figured out

I'm through with
the both of you.

I mean it, Jimmy.

- Yeah, I'll drive
myself to the hospital.

Don't wait up.

- [Voiceover] I'm
sittin' here waitin'.

- [Lacy] What are you
doin' here so late?

- [Mark] I have to talk to you.

Can I talk to you?

- [Lacy] Yeah.

(crickets)

Shut the door.

(slam)

- Maybe you should get a dog.

- No dogs.

Me and Jimmy got in a fight...

at The Wrangler.

- You came out lookin' alright.

- [Mark] Yeah he
didn't hit back.

I just kept kickin' him.

He took it.

He just took it.

I couldn't stop.

You know I miss you?

I don't want things
to be this way.

- It's the way it is.

It's been like this
for so many years.

Every day I'm ashamed.

- [Mark] No...

no.

- Your Daddy's always
been there to hold you up.

- Y'know I got no
problem with him.

- It's hard raisin'
somebody else's boy.

Jimmy always gave
you what he's got.

- That's no way to live.

- Yes, it is.

Yeah, it is.

- I don't feel like it is.

- You make it feel
like you want.

You're grown up,
you figure it out.

I've not met your wife.

She's family now, she's there.

You love her.

Figure it out.

I could make you a bed if you...

I don't have that
many blankets, but--

- You know, I
better get on home.

Don't ever feel ashamed.

(door slams)

(sobbing)

(birds chirping)

- Hi, I'd like to speak to
somebody in the emergency area.

Hey, James Poole came
to you last night

to get some stitches.

I'm just checkin' in
'cause he didn't come home.

- Are you a relative?

- [Ty] He's my partner.

- I'm not able to give
that information out

over the telephone
unless you're a relative.

- [Ty] We've been
together 20 years.

- You'll have to come down
and see if another nurse

will give you that information.

- Is he there!?

- [Telephone Nurse] I'm not
able to give you the information

over the telephone
unless you're a relative.

- [Ty] I'll be right there.

- Please let me know if you
have any other questions.

(birds chirping)

(banging)

(contemplative
fingerpicking music)

- [Blue overalls] About time.

- Mark.

It's over.

Can you hear me!?

It's over!

- James Poole, yes.

He's in Room 140
right down there.

- Why is he in a room?

- You can go in and ask him.

- I know, that was amazing.

- I'll letcha go in.

- No, it's okay if
you come in, too.

- He's got a lot of pride.

I'll just wait out here.

- Alright.

(hospital intercom)

(heart monitor beeping)

- What's goin' on?

What's goin' on, Jimmy?

- The thing is, you're
gonna be there for me.

Long sufferin', actin'
like you understand.

- Jimmy!

- You're gonna be a saint,
you are baby boy, you are.

- Why are you in here?

- Uh...

they gotta run tests.

- Tests for what?

- HIV.

Seems I got the HIV.

So, they gotta run more
tests, see where it's at,

see how my body's doin'...

how long it's been.

- They sure you got it?

- Yeah.

- So I might have it?

- No.

No, that's not likely.

- I uh...

I got nervous when you
didn't come home last night.

- Yeah, they drew blood
and, y'know the whole place

went on high alert (chuckles).

Yeah, I was a lot more
popular when I walked in,

boy howdy.

- You feel alright?

- Yeah, I feel fine.

Uh, I'll be home
in a couple hours.

Why don't you take off ?

- No.

I'll stay here.

- (scoffs) God.

Go home.

You can take the truck.

- Kathy's here.

I'll have her take me home.

- You don't tell her.

- Okay.

(deep breath)

You need anything?

- No, I'll be home
in a couple hours.

- [Ty] What the hell
was he doin' in there,

what kinda bullshit
was he up to?

- [Kathy] Three years,
that's a long time.

- [Ty] I know it is, Kath!

Three years.

It's a long, long time.

(door sliding)

Mark's not gonna
know about this.

- [Kathy] Alright.

- Hey.

- [Kathy] They getcha
all stitched up?

- Sure.

- [Kathy] Well, thanks
for the garden book.

You probly won't see it again.

- [Ty] Yeah, probly
got (mumbles).

- You guys take care.

- It's going to
be a bumpy night.

- You get the bridles
out of the garage?

- [Mark] Yep.

I'll see you later.

- Where you goin'?

- I'm going to aunt Kathy's.

- Well...

- You know for as long
as we've been together

I've felt sorta tainted...

because of my family and all?

Y'know and I felt you
pitied me in a way that

I guess makes me feel
like a better person, but,

what I'm beginning
to realize is--

- I never said I was better--

- What I'm beginning to realize,

is that you actually
hate where I come from.

- Jeez, I don't hate where you--

- I really thought

that once you got to know me
- Mark.

- and know my family
that you'd change.

- What do you mean, "change"?

- That you'd accept my family.

- I believe what I believe.

- Okay, well...

you know there's a lot wrong
with my ways of thinkin',

and I know I gotta work on that.

But I wasn't raised wrong,

y'know in sin, or any of that.

You can't see that
because you're,

you're a pretty hateful person.

But I felt this
was for a long time

and I'm not gonna
feel it anymore,

not from my own wife.

- You keep callin'
it "hate" Mark.

I call it walkin' with the Lord.

- Yeah (scoffs), it's not right.

What did you ever
want from me, Darlene?

- I wanted a good husband

and I got one.

You're not one of them.

- You know, maybe I am.

But that's my family.

We're all goin' to
hell if one of us is.

It's not for me to say.

- I've heard it all, Mark!

I heard every part of it.

You are either gonna
believe all that,

all the rationals
they tell themselves

about why they hold
on hard to their sin,

or you are gonna be saved!

God bless you!

- You want a hard candy?

- No.

(humming song)

- That's great.

- My life's a mess.

- I'm a bit
surprised to see you.

This your first time?

- I came with Ty to
Christmas a couple times.

- So why you here now?

- Should I go?

'Cause I haven't put enough
money in the money basket?

Do I have to pay you to be here?

- What are you
lookin' for, Jimmy?

What are you lookin' for?

- I don't know.

Some wise words.

- You read the Bible?

- No.

- You're willin' to try?

- I don't think so.

- What's in like in prison?

- It's pretty confusing.

- I'll bet.

Back to drinkin'?

- Little bit.

You got a problem with that?

- Sure.

Do you?

- (scoffs) Man, I hate this.

- What's that?

Why do you hate this?

- I gotta be pretty desperate
to come here and talk to you.

- Yeah, well, it hasn't been any

big thrill for me yet, so far.

Got a AA meeting in the
other room on Tuesday nights.

(sympathetic piano music)

- Shit.

- I'll go with you.

- (scoffs) No you will
not, this is humiliatin'.

- I'll go shopping for an hour,

and then I'll come
back and pick you up.

Now get outta my truck.

- Good evening.

Hi everybody, my name is
Toby, and I'm an alcoholic.

- [Crowd] Hi, Toby.

- Let's open up tonight's
meeting with a serenity prayer.

God, grant me the serenity

to accept the things
I cannot change,

the courage to change
the things that I can,

and the wisdom to
know the difference.

Amen.

- [Crowd] Amen.

- So is anybody here
for the first time?

Maybe somebody from out of town?

(merry ukulele music)

(children screaming)

- Yeah.

- Where you goin'?

- What's your name?

- Brandy.

- I'm Mark.
- Yeah?

Where you goin'?

- (laughs) I'm gonna go
check out my Dad's band play

in a little bit.

Be the last time I get
to see 'em for a while.

- Why's that?

- Got a job in Branson,
Missouri playin' a new band.

Yeah we already
got jobs lined up.

- You're gonna be a big star.

- Your mouth to God's ear.

- Yeah?

- Well, you wanna walk around
for a bit, check it out?

- Yeah.

I really am, I am so sorry.

You did the best with it.

We love you, buddy.

You're a good boy.

- Don't hurt yourself.

- That's good advice.

I'm gonna go in there and

- Yeah, while you still can.

don't be seen with you, y'know.

- [Mark] Yeah of course.

- [Jimmy] Not right now.
- [Mark] No.

Yeah where is he?

Why?

- I was hopin' you
weren't comin' home.

- [Jimmy] I talked to Mark.

I filled him in
on the whole deal.

- [Ty] What'd you do that for?

- He deserves to know
what's goin' on over here.

(deep sigh)

- You tell him about you?

- [Jimmy] About me?

What about me?

- About your condition.

- My condition?

About how I gots
the devil's HIV?

- Did you tell him?

- [Jimmy] Yes, I did.

- Why?

That's so selfish.

- To tell him that I'm havin'
problems with my health?

- You don't be
communicatin' with him.

- [Jimmy] Well, you got
no control over that.

- You're the worst thing
that ever happened to him.

- No, that's not true.

- All of it.

The drinkin', the violence,

the messin' around in prison.

And now you bring your
disease into this house!?

- Well, I'm not drinkin'.

- Fuck you!

- Drinkin's why
all this happened.

- [Ty] You were sick,
and you didn't tell me!

- [Jimmy] No, I--

- I found a Band-Aid
in the trash can.

The one they give you when they
check your blood in prison.

You knew, Jimmy!

- I couldn't tell you.

Look at you.

- [Ty] I don't know what
you were doin' in prison.

I don't wanna know.

But I can't live with the
fear of HIV under my own roof.

I hate that I'm that weak.

That's the way it is.

- [Jimmy] Tyler don't
move outta here.

- [Stablehand] I'll take her.

- [Ty] Alright.

- [Kathy] You boys
take your time.

- [Ty] Horse has
come a long way.

- [Jimmy] Mm.

- I passed you on
the road today.

Just seemed like a good
idea to keep goin'.

I know you saw me and I'm
sure that must've been rough.

I just wanted to come down

and tell you I didn't
mean to hurt you.

- Aw that's bullshit.

- No, it isn't.

- Yeah, it's bullshit.

You're so full of goodness,
you couldn't hurt a fly.

- Cut it out.

- When it comes to
one time too many,

get outta the way 'cause
hell hath no fury.

- [Ty] How many times
does it have to be?

Huh?

How many times do I
gotta come in second

to what you're drinkin'

before I get to say
it's too damn much?

It's too damn much.

- How do you even know?

- [Ty] What?

- You hardly ever
come up for air, Ty.

You're so right, and
you're so perfect

that the rest of us are
just a little lonely.

You're so good

and nothin' seems to
shake you from that.

Does it?

I'm surprised that I found
the line in the sand.

- You got HIV, Jimmy.
- [Jimmy] Yeah.

- That scares me to death.
- [Jimmy] Alright.

You slept with, I don't know
how many people in prison.

- [Jimmy] I slept
with one person.

- Don't tell me.
- No.

- [Ty] Don't talk about it.
- One time.

- [Ty] Deny it!

Just deny it, Jimmy!

- That's what I'm talkin' about.

- I don't know how you got HIV,

but somethin' real strong
tells me nobody forced you

to do anything you
didn't want to do.

And if there's one
thing you coulda used

all your fightin' for

is to stay clean for me.

And you didn't.

And then you lied about it.

- I am messed up.

That's not news.

I'm the same way as I was
when we fell for each other.

- [Ty] Yeah, yeah I've heard it.

I gotta go.
- [Jimmy] I am messed up,

but what I do know
(scoffs)

Is that you--
- Is that you're a drunk?

'Cause you're lonely?

You're a drunk
'cause you're lonely?

- No, I've stopped drinkin'.

It's easy for you, okay.

But I'm all over the map.

And if there's one thing
that's kept me flyin' right

it's you and Mark.

My family.

And give or take,

I have been there,

kickin' in, doin' my part

for a lotta years.

- You're the love of my life.

You're the love of my life.

(afflicted country music)

- You can't hide
away on this one.

- [Ty] I don't know how
I'm gonna forgive you.

I don't think I can!
(sigh)

You got to.
