Grinders (2023) Movie Script
(somber guitar music)
- [Woman] Action!
- Jackson Hardy, here, with
Jackson Hardy's Used Car Sails
As Is Auto Sales.
We got so many cars in stock
that we're having a sale.
This one here,
hell, I don't even know what
it is, but it runs great.
It's on it's way right to the junkyard.
This one, here, we got, is the minivan.
This is great if you have a family
that you probably
shouldn't have but you do.
So you got this one right here.
And this bad boy, here,
people are just dying to
get a ride in this one.
You purchase this one, I'll
throw in a free stray cat.
And then that one, there, fuck that one.
But this one!
This one here's got brand new tires
and a great engine, but it's not for sale.
- [Man] Did you get the sound?
- Yeah, we got it.
- Cut.
- Is it good?
- Billy, the sheriff and
the detective were here
grilling me about the whereabouts
of Wilma this morning.
Thank God they didn't ask
to look in the cooler.
You gotta help me get her outta here!
- Well, geez, you're my brother,
help me get her out of the cooler
and get her to the truck and
I'll take her to the property
and I'll grind her up.
Now, get in there, dumb ass!
- Oh, now I'm the dumb ass?
Ow, son of a bitch!
- [Billy] Man, where's the light?
It's dark in here and it's fucking cold!
- All right, Billy, you gotta
help me get her off the hook.
Now grab her by the legs and lift.
I got him by the shoulders.
- [Billy] Hang on.
- [Jeb] Oh my god, she weighs a ton!
- [Billy] I got her legs.
Let's turn her.
- [Billy] What?
- [Jeb] Oh, here we go, okay, turn slowly.
- Wait.
- Oh god.
Don't drop her.
Slowly, watch her head,
just for watch her head.
- I got it.
- I said watch your head!
(body thudding)
(blood squelching)
- Howdy, y'all.
(gentle tempo music)
Yeah, I'm talking to you,
all sitting down there, looking at me,
looking at this flame.
Flame kind of represents life.
You see how it moves around?
Things work and things don't sometimes
and then it just goes out.
(lighter clicks)
Just like that.
(upbeat music)
I bet you're thinking,
"I'm somewhat confused about
what I just saw right now."
Well, maybe I'm here and maybe I'm not
just to clear things
up, just a tad for you.
(upbeat music)
It all started just about
five some odd years ago.
It's been five years in the state pen.
Well, some say it was my
fault, some say that is wasn't.
But you know what?
A good judge, crooked
lawyer, or vice versa,
you never know what you're gonna get.
(upbeat music)
From ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
- Guess the moral of this story is,
you know how you sometimes
get caught up in life
and you just want to take a ride
out in the country by yourself,
just to kind of clear your mind
and get the fog of life and
cobwebs outta your head?
Oh, there you go down the highway
and you get out in the country
and you suddenly decide
you're gonna take an off road
and nothing but greenery and
beautiful trees out there
and come to the stoplight
and you got a choice to make.
Sometimes that choice ain't easy.
It may not be the right one neither.
Do I go left, or do I go right?
Well, I grew up in a little
town out there in the country
and in the south.
Wouldn't call them towns,
wouldn't call them cities,
but When they get under 300
people, they call them a gulch.
Well, that's where I growed up.
So instead of going left,
you decided to go right
and guess where you ended up?
(man laughing)
You ended up in a gulch.
You've seen them before
but you very rarely stop.
But you pull into this little town and,
this little gulch, and
you think to yourself,
"This is one of those towns
where everybody knows everybody."
You know the town.
It's small,
From ashes to ashes
(chuckling)
And dust to dust
but let me tell you something else.
Really started out all innocent life,
but that little town has
some big, big problems.
(man laughing)
(saw buzzing)
(mower buzzing)
(woman screaming)
(slaps smacking)
(car engine purring)
(birds chirping)
Been down to a place
I used to call my home
Friends are gone, they moved away
They must've traveled on
- By any chance,
may I see your driver's
license and registration?
I must've lost my head
When I stepped into that bar
Stepped into hell again
(somber guitar music)
- All right, there you go.
All right, you slow down now,
you drive safe, you have a nice day now.
Skies are bright the beach is white
I knew no other way
(mower engine revving)
Air was blowing amuse my all
I must have lost my head
At the age of seventeen
(mower engine revving)
- What the hell you doing
standing right in front
of my fucking lawnmower
for, you damn fool?
- I was trying to get your attention,
but as usually, you listen
to that crap you call music.
- You know, I could have run
over your fat, obnoxious ass,
then I'd have had to tell your lazy wife
that I done chopped you up!
For a smart guy, you sure are a dumb ass.
- Dumb ass?
I make 10 times what you make.
- Fat fuck!
One of these days, I'm
gonna run over your fat ass!
- Watch where you're driving moron!
(mower buzzing)
- What was that all about, Jackson?
- That dumb son of a bitch
almost grinded me up.
Driving around listening to music so loud
you couldn't hear a bomb go off.
- You didn't answer my question.
- [Jackson] I'm trying
to get him to go over
and mow my sister's lawn on Friday.
- Such a bother about nothing.
You two have been feuding for years.
Now, come on, let's get out of here.
I got some shopping to do.
- [Jackson] That is the
ugliest son of a bitch
that I've ever seen.
(lively banjo music)
- [Jeb] Hey, Miss Lucy.
- How are you doing today, Jeb?
- Oh, fine and dandy, fine and dandy.
Hey, congratulations
on winning Miss Junebug
again this year.
- Thank you, Jeb, I'm so
proud to serve my community.
- Oh, I'm sure you are.
It's quite a burden for you there.
What can I get for you today?
- I'll have a pound of ground
and juicy rib eye, please.
- All right.
What did you do to your finger?
- Oh, chopping and chipping,
you know the business.
- Ooh.
- That's how it goes.
So how come you haven't got
a boyfriend again this year?
- Well, I had one kinda, sorta.
But he was too jealous.
- Oh boy, you know, well
being a Miss Junebug and all,
that's quite a big responsibility.
You're quite the celebrity, you know,
and not a lot of people can handle that.
- Right, I'm a celebrity,
and he'd get agitated when people come up
wanting to take pictures
of me and my crown.
- Oh my gosh.
Well, here you go, on
your account as usual?
- Yes, please, if you don't mind.
- Oh no, no, no problem at all.
No problem at all.
- So, Jeb?
- [Jeb] Mm-hmm?
- How come a handsome man such
as yourself is not hitched?
- Oh, well, I kinda like the
hunting and fishing life.
It's hard to find somebody
to go along with that.
- You just need a nice
country girl like me.
- Well, I do like Thelma-lou now,
but she's gotta know how to cut and grind,
if you know what I mean.
- Well, all righty then. (chuckling)
- Well, Miss Lucy, you
be safe out there now.
You know them country boys,
they don't slow down for nothing.
- Thank you, Jeb, you
are such a worry wart.
- All righty, Miss Lucy.
(upbeat banjo music)
Ain't she something?
(car door slams)
- Goddamn it, Bedford, that's
the third one this week!
All for a fucking tail light?
Son of a bitch!
Parking tickets, speeding tickets.
When will this shit ever end?
Son of bitch!
- [Bedford] Well, if you
would have attended to it
or just paid that last batch.
- Son of a-
- I'd be inclined
to let your sorry ass go.
I'd be rocking up on
that I gave her my name
Better not be open, Billy.
- [Billy] They're not, what
do you think I am, stupid?
(country music)
- What's that smell?
- It's grass, you ass!
(car engine revving)
- Better not be the illegal kind!
One of these days, Rakestraw.
One of these days.
Save your life and
now you're my friend
Oh this little creature
is my little rat
He's a little old
rat, he's bad as a cat
He walks my halls and
he drags his balls
(Lucy screaming)
(tires screeching)
- Shit!
(country music)
(car door slams)
Miss Lucy, Miss Lucy, are you...
Oh, shit!
(Billy gagging)
You're my
I'm so sorry, Miss Lucy.
Ew!
And saved your life and
now you're my friend
Oh, Jesus!
Jesus, I killed her!
(phone buzzing)
- Fatbacks, we slice them and dice them
just the way you like them.
- Jeb!
Jeb!
I think I just killed Miss Lucy.
- Are you sure she's dead?
- I'm pretty sure.
Hell, her eyeball's under my tire.
- Well, I guess you're just
gonna have to turn yourself in.
- Oh hell no, hell no!
There ain't no way I'm going back to jail!
- Well, you can't bring her here.
- Jeb, you're my brother!
You're supposed to help me!
- Half-brother.
- That's besides the point.
Are you gonna help me or not?
- I cannot believe our
mama slept with your daddy!
- [Billy] Son of bitch!
- Son of a bitch!
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't
see you standing there.
- My grandpa would like some
of that special brown beef.
- All right, coming right up.
- We'll eat good tonight.
- [Jeb] There you go.
- [Grandpa] Thank you very much.
- I'll put it on your account, Henry.
(phone tapping)
(Jeb sighs)
Hey honey, I'm not gonna be
able to make dinner tonight,
I'm afraid-
- What's wrong?
Your idiot brother again?
- Yeah, Billy's got himself
in a whole hit patrol.
It's probably going take me half a night
to clean up this mess.
You know, if I get done early enough,
maybe I can meet you for breakfast.
- Okay, honey.
Try not to stay up too late.
- All right, sweetie.
Love you.
- Love you too.
- I know.
Oh, howdy, sheriff?
The usual?
- Yeah, that'd be just fine.
- So anything new and
exciting happening out there?
- Nah.
Same old, same old.
Gave your brother another ticket today.
- (chuckles) He just
doesn't learn, does he?
- No.
You know, I've seen the damnest thing
laying in the middle of road today.
- Yeah, what's that?
- It look like ground beef
and steak got run over.
- That's weird.
Hmm.
(phone buzzing)
Oh, I better get this.
- All right.
Just add this to my account.
When I ask you how you're doing
- Hey, Billy, what the
hell are you call me for?
The Sheriff's here!
- [Billy] Grab her by the arm, idiot.
- [Jeb] I got it.
- [Billy] Grab it by the waist.
Come on! (men screaming and groaning)
- Get on it.
- I got it.
- [Jeb] All right, all right.
- Aw!
- Stop playing with the damn corpse.
- She's playing me!
- Don't be ridiculous, she's dead.
- So what's the plan?
- Fuck the plan, there's
evidence everywhere.
- So what are we gonna do?
Just leave her hanging there?
- Well, we can't do that either,
food inspector comes in a month.
- Let's burry her.
- Now, no time.
- How about we burn her?
- Nope, that'll leave evidence.
- Well then fuck that,
let's just grind her up
and sell her over the
counter as ground beef.
(both laughs)
Wait, you ain't laughing!
- You might just have an idea there.
Why don't you help me grind her?
(motor roaring)
- Oh, hey sheriff.
- Seem to be a little
jumpy this morning, Jeb.
- Oh, I'm just tired.
I've been putting up this
meat from my distributor.
- Looks meaty, smells delicious.
I think I'll have some.
- Well, is that all you want for today?
- Put up a rush there.
- I'm busy, busy.
I got all this meat to
put up before it spoil.
- All right, just go
ahead and add it to my-
- Account.
I got it.
Yeah, will do.
- Have you seen Miss Lucy?
(apprehensive music)
- I saw her a couple days ago.
- She was supposed to
meet me for breakfast
this morning down at the diner,
but she never showed up.
- [Jeb] Well, you know how Miss Lucy is,
she always going on a wild
goose chasing, some adventure.
I'm sure she'll be there.
- Well, if you see her,
you tell her I'll be waiting
for her tomorrow morning.
- [Jeb] I will do.
- All right, thank you.
- Alrighty.
(apprehensive music)
- Jeb!
- Oh, howdy Wilma?
Back in town for the winter?
- You know me,
these old bones can't
handle no more snowstorms.
Been coming down here since
I was a kid with my parents.
- Yeah, I know.
So what can I do for you today?
- I want some ground for my meatloaf.
Always looking for something unique.
- Well, got this new
ground from my distributor.
Little pricier than normal.
(apprehensive music)
- You tried it?
- Nope.
I have not had a chance.
It just came in last night.
- I'll have to try it.
Three pounds.
French, huh?
- Yep.
So you wanna start a
weekly account as usual?
- That works?
I will try this in my meatloaf tonight,
I will let you know how it is.
- I'm sure you will.
(Jeb laughs)
- Have a good day.
- Back at you.
(apprehensive music)
(plane engine roars)
(car door slams)
- Hey, Jackson.
- Jesus, Billy, is this fourth
or fifth deer this season?
- I don't know, I'm
too busy to keep track.
Can you fix the damn thing or not?
- Deer, was it a ginger?
- It was dark.
Can you fix it?
- Yeah, go ahead, we'll replace the grill,
clean it up and pull it in the shop.
- You're an (indistinct).
(car door slams)
(car engine revving)
Can you testify
(car door slams)
About what it's like to be
- Hang on a second.
Freddie.
- Yeah.
- [Jackson] You got another one.
- What is this, like the
third time this month?
- [Billy] Dude, bite me.
Can you fix it or not?
- Coulda at least clean it, you bastard?
- [Billy] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, I'll get right on it, tomorrow.
- Hey Jackson, how about a loaner?
I need a ride.
- Here, try not to hit
anything with it, Billy.
- Yeah, man, it's a junker.
- I don't care.
- Arg, such an apple!
- And no drinking and doping neither.
- What the fuck, ever.
Hey, things keep going
the way they're going,
I'm gonna need this old son of a bitch.
(car door slams)
- This is what kept you up late, baby?
French ground beef?
- Yeah, honey.
I'm sorry I missed breakfast.
But you know, you better get
you some before it runs out.
- I'll take some of that specialty beef.
- I'll be right with you.
- Well, how many pounds
do you think I would like?
- Well, it all depends on
how many pounds you can take.
I mean eat.
(Jeb laughs)
- Well, I don't wanna ruin my girl-
- Can we get some help over here?
- I'll take two pounds.
How much?
- $50.
- For ground beef?
- It's a real beauty.
- Well, if it tastes like
shit, you gotta refund me.
- Excuse me, missy.
- Now then, where were we?
- [Jeb] You wanted to try my special beef.
- Well, thank you.
I'll take two pounds, please.
(indistinct)
- How much?
- [Jeb] Oh baby, it's on the house.
- You wanna show up for dinner tonight?
- Oh, sweetie, I'd love
to, but I'm just busy.
You know?
Busy, busy.
- Okay.
- I'll talk to you later.
Now, what did you want?
- [Andy] Give me some
of the specialty beef.
Let's get out.
- Hardy's Used Car Sails.
Push it, pull it or tow it in, or out.
(dramatic upbeat music)
Hey, Sheba.
- Hey.
- Where's Caleb?
- Oh, you know Caleb,
he's either working or
chugging up on (indistinct).
- Yeah.
Hey, is there something I can do for you?
- Yeah, I'm looking for an SUV.
- I got the 99 right there.
(upbeat music)
- Does it work?
- Well, (indistinct).
Uh-uh.
- (chuckles) Forget about it.
I'll see you later.
You just look at me and say
- Look, you know what Jackson?
For all the shit you put me through,
that don't look half bad.
- Yeah, yeah.
Just get over to my sister
on Friday and mow the lawn.
- All right, just give me
the keys to the damn thing.
- Don't forget, she's
gonna be home that day,
so let her know that you're there.
- Well, I would think when
she heard the lawn mower,
she'd already fucking know.
(car engine revving)
- Now, Billy's on his way
over here to mow the lawn,
the lawn, not your lawn.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Now make sure he does a good job.
- Oh, I'm sure he will.
- You call me if he doesn't.
- Don't you have some cars
to go sell, little brother?
- I mean it now,
I do not want that man
as my brother-in-law.
(birds chirping)
- [Radio] On Day to Day
Rock in the morning,
only on 92.3-
- Hey Billy.
- Hey, what's up.
Hey man, don't forget when
you're done with Emogene
to come on over to my place.
- No, no, I'll do that for you
for a cold one, and a hot one.
- Hell yeah.
- I'll see you in a bit.
- All right.
(car engine roaring)
- [Jeb] Billy, I need
more fresh meat to grind.
Billy.
- I ain't doing it.
There ain't no way, Jeb.
There ain't no way, Lucy was an accident.
- [Jeb] I'm telling you,
I even raised the price three times.
It's selling like crazy.
- I ain't doing it, goddamn it.
- [Jeb] I need more meat to grind, Billy.
(mower engine revving)
- Billy, you missed a spot over here.
(Billy gagging)
(mower revving)
- Shit!
(blood squelching)
Shit!
Son of a bitch!
(tense music)
(indistinct)
(blood squelching)
(mower revving)
- Bedford Chancy.
- Hi sheriff, Caleb here.
I'm over here at Lucy's and
there's still no sign of her.
- Well, now that is a little concerning.
- I was over at Jeb's,
and he ain't seen her for over a week.
- Hm-mm.
Now Emogene's missing.
- What was that, sheriff?
- Sorry, sorry.
I'm just talking out loud.
- Might wanna file a
missing person's report.
- Yeah.
Come on into the station and
I'll get the paperwork done.
- Okay.
- All right, bye now.
(car door slams)
Hello, Jackson, what
seems to be the problem?
- Good morning Bedford,
thank you for coming out.
Emogene didn't show up for work
at the dealership this morning.
I called, she didn't answer.
- That's not unlike her.
- It is this time of the year.
- How so?
- Tax season.
She gotta get the books in order.
- I see.
Did you take a look inside?
- I was going to, and then
it occurred to me that
if something untoward happened,
I'd be destroying evidence.
- Good point.
All right, well let's open her up.
- I knocked when I got
here, but she didn't answer.
(tense music)
- Everything looks fine inside here.
Nothing seems to be amiss.
- Yeah.
All right then.
- All right, let's get out of here.
- Well, nothing seemed
to be amiss in there.
- Appears that way.
- You know Emogene was a shopaholic.
She probably went into the next county
to buy something new,
to expose the world to.
- Yeah, you're probably right.
- I tell you what?
If she don't give you a
call by tomorrow, call me.
- Yeah.
All right then.
- I'm gonna get out of
your way so you can leave.
If you don't mind,
I'm gonna look around the
property a little bit.
- All right.
I appreciate it, sheriff.
(gentle brooding music)
Been away 10 years and
so time flies so easily
- Hmm, interesting.
Each fun and lost of fun
and each for running now
If she hangs around with me
Damnest thing I've ever seen.
'Cause you took my first breadth away
You took my song better the same
Left with my first broken heart
Left with a new place
to start, engineer
- Howdy sheriff.
- Hi, Caleb.
Long-time no see.
- Lucy's not home.
- Apparently not.
I haven't seen her in a couple days.
- Well, she does take off from
time to time on adventures.
- Yeah, she does do that.
- She'll probably be back by tomorrow.
She can't stay gone for
more than a couple of days.
- I appreciate you looking
out after her like you do.
How's the computer business?
- Long hours as usual,
you know how that is?
- Not really.
Anyhow, you give me a jingle
if she shows up, will you?
- Yeah, I'll check on her first thing
and give you a heads up.
- All right, thank you.
(crowd chattering)
- Now hold on now, there's
enough for everyone.
(group chattering)
- Rumor say that you got (indistinct)
Anything like the French-
- Well, yeah, it's still a
little overexposed, but yeah.
- Now, now, y'all just hold on a minute.
Hold on a minute.
- I bought five pounds!
- Now, hold on now.
We have a limited supply.
- This is why they are crazy
over this shit, aren't they?
- I just dunno how we're
gonna keep this up.
(group chattering)
- Now, y'all wait just a half-minute!
(group chattering)
Damn it, would you help me?
Would you help me?
- [Jeb] All right, that's it.
we're all out.
(group chattering)
- Hey there, Bedford, sir.
You're too late, man.
We're sold out.
- Jeb, I didn't come here for that.
- Oh.
- Billy!
- Shit.
- Shit.
- Don't worry, I didn't come here
to give you another ticket.
- Praise Jesus.
- Is there a problem?
- I guess you can say so.
- What is it?
- What is it?
- Lucy is still missing, and
I just came from Emogene,
and you were just there yesterday
mowing her yard, correct?
- Yes, sir, I was.
I went there and did my
job, I got the hell out.
- Well, you know she was
a little sweet on you.
- Yeah, and it scared
a bit Jesus out of me.
- While you there, did you
see anything suspicious?
- No, sir.
No, sir.
Not a thing, I mowed the
grass and I hauled out.
(sheriff laughs)
- Jeb?
- Yeah.
- Kind of unusual
that you're getting
some regular deliveries
of that specialty meat this week.
- No.
Why'd you say that?
- Oh, twice this week.
- Yeah, but I don't know
when he is gonna show up,
or with what?
- I got to go.
- Billy, you see Emogene, you
give me a ring now, you hear?
- Yeah, sure.
I'll get right on it.
- But she only comes in
every couple of weeks or so.
- Yeah, right.
- Well, since you're here, I mean,
can we get you anything else?
- No, thanks, Jeb.
But I gotta get back to the station.
I have some evidence that I
need to send into forensics.
- [Both] Evidence?
- Yep.
- Rakestraw, we all know my
sister had the hots for you.
- Yeah, well I didn't
have the hots for her.
- Yeah, well now she's missing,
and if I find out you had
anything to do with it, Rakestraw,
I'ma beat you to death
with that sludge hammer.
- Look, you were an
asshole in high school,
you're an asshole now, and
you'll always be an asshole.
Now get the fuck off my property.
- You're a sick bastard, Rakestraw.
And as soon as I find proof, I'll be back.
- Son of a bitch.
(man groaning)
Stop it.
Stop it.
Stop making noise.
(hammer pounding)
(engine revving)
(bell ringing)
- What's happening here?
Frankie's opening it up late today, huh?
Wilma, did you tell everyone
that he had more specialty beef in here?
- I mighta mentioned it.
- God, we got so much beef-
(Sheriff knocking)
- [Man] Hey, why do you
feel like going early?
- You know what?
I'm here on official police business,
you'll need to just back up and stay calm.
- What's all this about, Bedford?
- Sheriff, you kind of
puzzle about something.
- That's USDA approved.
- Jeb, that's not what I'm talking about.
- Oh, what are you talking?
Oh, that's not how I wanna wrap with that.
I always take it off
when I'm grinding meat.
- Itchy finger?
- Yeah, this thing has a
bad habit of doing that.
- You know what?
It looks like I've seen
that someplace before.
- Of course you have, it's right here.
- You must not keep
your customers waiting.
- No, I wouldn't...
Yeah, I wouldn't want to do that.
- One more thing.
- What?
- When you see Billy,
you tell him he needs to call me.
- I can try to get him to call you,
but I doubt he's gonna wanna
talk to you voluntarily.
- Well, you tell him
it's kind of important,
and he needs to call me.
- All right, I'll do.
(door chimes)
All right.
One at a time, one at a time.
(phone buzzing)
- [Forensics] This is forensics,
the results will be in by Friday.
- Well, I understand the delays,
'cause your chief forensic
officer is out of town.
However, the sheriff may
not be so understanding.
- [Forensics] (sighs) We assure you
the results will be back by Friday.
- I'll let him know.
But I tell you, he's not gonna be happy.
- [Forensics] We apologize.
You have a nice day, detective.
- You maybe getting yourself
in over your head, Bedford.
(gentle ominous music)
(Billy laughs)
(birds chirping)
(phone buzzing)
- Hi, Bedford.
Caleb calling, NASFA was
gonna give you a hand
on this thing, but before I commit,
I wanted to go over a
few details with you.
- Sure, go ahead.
- Lucy Ellis, hometown beauty, yeah?
- Well, truthfully the only
contestant 10 years running,
missing about 12 days ago.
- No competition, huh?
Emogene Hardy, tied to that car lot fella?
- Yeah.
Jackson's older sister.
She's quite the hussy.
Something just doesn't sit right
with her disappearance last Friday.
- And now he's gone missing, right?
- Yeah.
He is kind of a sleaze.
- Oh, Hey sheriff.
How you doing?
- Hello Jackson.
So the sassy lady, huh?
- Yep.
Named her after Lucy.
She don't run, kind of like me.
- Huh?
Is that right?
You wanna sell it?
I'll give you 500 for it.
- You must be smoking
that same shit as Billy.
- Nah-uh.
- Just take off to buy
cars every so often,
but he's just not answering his phone.
- Well, look, how about if I come over,
we'll take a look around,
we'll start asking some questions.
Maybe if I show up,
we'll get some answers.
- Worked for me.
Why?
- All right, we'll see you tomorrow.
- Well, hey there.
What can I do for you?
- How are you doing today?
- Oh, I'm all right.
What can I do for you?
- Hoping to maybe trade
in my old truck here,
get something a little nicer.
- This piece of shit?
I ain't buying this.
- Well, you don't got
to be a dick about it.
I won't need nothing from you anyway
if you gonna act like that.
Piece of chicken.
(car door slams)
(car engine revving)
Asshole.
(gentle music)
- It's getting a little eerie scary.
And this one's a little
bit out there though.
I just only wrote traffic
tickets in this eerie town.
- I was thinking that myself, Bedford.
- As you know Miss Ellis
has yet to be located,
but I've got a bad feeling
about the disappearance of Emogene Hardy.
- Any news on the
whereabouts of Jackson Hardy?
- Since the last time we spoke,
secretary said that he went
outta town for an auction.
He's supposed to be back Friday.
- And he hasn't returned
their calls either.
- To best of my understanding.
- Hmm.
Got a notification this
morning from my county
that there's a missing person.
I'm starting to think there's a relation.
- Oh geez, I'm about to
retire, I don't need this shit.
- Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
However, if they don't start showing up,
we may have a serial killer in our hands.
- Well, I'll be damned.
An honest to goodness,
serial killer? (laughs)
We might just get us to Walmart. (laughs)
- You might have something there.
- Well, when are we
gonna get to detecting?
- Well, and captain asked me
to come back to the office,
look into a possible homicide
related to that missing person.
So I might have to get
back through tomorrow.
- All right.
I'm gonna head on out.
See if I can gather any more information.
- Unrelated question.
- What is that?
- Chancy's Gulch.
Are you kidding?
- Well, yeah, my great, great, grandpapa
settled here after the civil war.
I ain't never been married, no kids.
And I'm getting too old
to be spreading my seeds.
- What are the chances, Chancy?
Jane dead yet.
- Hmm.
With what's happening
now, it may just kill me.
(gentle music)
(phone ringing)
In the time, in the time
when the sun never shine
- Hearing things again.
You'll hear the wind gold wind blows
Let the grave in the time
where the sun never shine
Let the grave
(teeth gnashing)
(gentle music)
Damp bones.
My true love life and a narrow grave
In the pines where the sun never shine
- There you go, Wilma.
- Now you've been getting
a lot of specialty ground beef lately.
- Lucky, I guess.
Next.
Oh, hey, Caleb.
How you doing?
- Just peachy, how about you?
- I'm busy.
What can I get for you today?
- Well, I like to try your special.
Wilma tells me I missed
the last few batches.
- Yeah, Wilma's my best advertisement.
- Give me five pounds.
- You got it.
Ah, (indistinct) 'cause I don't know
when my distributor's gonna
get me anymore and now...
By the way, that's 50 bucks.
- Pricey!
But I here it's worth it.
- Yeah.
- You have been busy lately.
- Hey honey, not really.
- I'd like some of your sausage today.
- Ooh, I'm sure you do.
- What was that?
- Oh, I mean, how much would you like?
- Well, it's just for me and for us.
A few pounds should do it.
- I will tell you the truth,
I'm off of ground beef
or sausage lately.
Right here.
Relaxed though.
- You're done?
I'm in kind of a hurry.
- All right then, I better run along.
- Make your dating
arrangements some other time.
- What the hell is your problem Mr.?
- I gotta get back to work.
- What the hell do you want?
- Five pounds of your special ground beef.
- All right.
Five.
Here.
Hit it out.
- You get to weigh it?
- You want it or not?
- Customer, no fucking service.
- Asshole.
- Hi.
- Hi honey.
What can I get for you?
- Five pounds of your special, please.
- Coming right up.
- Thank you.
(gentle music)
- [Wilma] How are doing, Randy?
- Fine.
The chili brownie was quite delicious.
A little bit bony, but delicious.
- I'm glad you liked it.
- Hey, not now, I don't
have time for that today.
- Well, that's too bad.
- Maybe next week.
- Just like the Rakestraw
boys, drop and go.
- The Rakestraw boys?
They were up here?
- Yeah.
They were up here yesterday,
they dropped off a cousin's
daughter's car for a bit.
- That's funny.
I didn't see a car when I pulled up.
- They parked it around back.
- I'll see you next week.
Don't forget the chili.
I like getting quick.
- Thank you, darling.
- Jackson's car!
(eerie music)
- Jeb.
- Goddamit Billy, how
many times have I told you
not to sneak up on me like that?
- What?
I just wanted to find
out what you find out
about the evidence.
- I sold out.
- You sold out?
You told me you weren't gonna do that.
- It's not like I had a
goddamn choice now, did I?
- Well, I guess there is that.
(door knocks)
- Wilma, we're closed.
- I wanna ask you something.
- Can't you come back tomorrow?
- I could, but I'm here now.
- All right, go ahead.
- Okay.
You know how I go out to
Blind Riley's every week?
- Yeah.
Can we make this a short story?
- I was up there and I saw Jackson's car.
- Yeah, well he left it
up there for his niece
for 16th birthday as a gift.
- All banged up?
- Yeah, of course he did.
He said he'll fixed it when he gets back.
- You got somebody in there?
- Wilma I got to go.
- Is that Thelma-lou?
- Wilma!
Wilma, I gotta go.
Have a nice day.
Get in the back, you moron.
I thought I told you to have a nice day.
- Sorry, Jeb, can I come on in?
Jeb, you're trying to stab me with that?
- No, I was just cleaning.
- Well, I just got off the phone
with White Johnson from Barry County.
He seems to think that the
missing person from his city
might be tied to the
missing folks over here.
- What exactly are you
trying to say, Bedford?
- Nothing.
I just thought you might
have heard something.
Seems like everyone in the town
seems to come here on a regular basis.
- Nope.
Heard nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
- Sold out, huh?
- Yeah.
My supplier says no more
for the season, done.
- Interesting.
Hmm.
I tell you, you know what?
I got one more thing.
- What?
- Jackson is coming back
from the auction tomorrow.
If you see him before I do,
you have him to give me a call, will you?
- Sure.
Sure.
Okay.
- Thank you very much.
- You're welcome.
- All right.
- Get back here.
- Where did you say you found this again?
- After I left Lucy's house the other day,
I stopped for gas on county road, 549.
- You found that at the gas station?
- No, up the road at piece,
there was some buzzers
pecking at some meat,
so I stopped to check it out.
- Roadkill?
- Nope.
That's the odd thing.
Couldn't tell, so I took a closer look,
and that's when I found
this earring in here.
(eerie music)
- It looks familiar.
I'm gonna send this over to Wyatt.
Hopefully he'll have both my
answers by the end of the week.
- Both?
- Yeah.
When Emogene went missing,
I found some stuff that looks suspicious.
So I had sent that over to him.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Well, thanks for bringing that in.
I'll be sure to let you know
if something else comes about.
(gentle somber music)
- Bedford, clean it all up like I said.
- Do me a favor, Caleb.
You go around this side and on the grass,
or anything you might see.
I'm gonna go around this
side and take a look.
(somber music)
If you had to what
would you do with it
You find anything over there yet, Caleb?
- No, nothing yet.
Are you afraid of what is real
Lost my trust they making no deal
'Cause he loves him
- Found something.
All eyes all over you
What does this look like to you?
- Piece of a grill?
- Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing.
(phone siren blaring)
Bed Chancy.
- [CSI Forensic] Hello
sheriff, CSI forensic.
- I know.
Showed on the caller ID.
- [CSI Forensic] Look, I spoke
with the lab this morning.
They're reviewing the evidence,
and we'll have the results by tomorrow.
- That's good to know, I guess.
- [CSI Forensic] Anything
else I can help you with?
- Nope.
Out here in the field
tracking some possible leads.
- [CSI Forensic] Good luck.
We will have the results
back to you in the am.
- Sound good.
- Did Jackson go to the
auto auction this week?
- Oh, yeah.
He left on Monday, but should
be back tomorrow morning.
- Did he drive his own car?
- Of course, he did.
- That is a little confusing.
- And why is that?
- Because I was up at
Blind Riley's yesterday
and I saw his car parked around back.
- I wonder why he would do that.
- I thought the same thing.
Riley said the Rakestraws
put it back there.
Something about a niece and a birthday.
- Not that I'm aware of.
- Hey, y'all.
- Oh, hi Thelma-lou, we are
ready for your oil change.
Why didn't you call him, Barbara.
- Call who?
- Jackson?
- Something wrong?
- Well, Wilma here seems to think
there's some shenanigans going on,
involving the Rakestraws.
No, I tried to call once already
and I told Bedford that
he wasn't answering.
- My sweet Jeb, you don't think he went
and did something silly?
- Go ahead and call him.
Is he picking up?
(phone ringing)
- I'm sure if Jackson's at the auction,
he's just busy.
- Stop making such a fuss.
(phone ringing)
- Riley.
- Holy shit!
Caleb, you know better than
scaring an old man like that.
- Hold on, Riley, didn't
mean to scare you.
- Oh, just rang and rang.
Didn't even go to voicemail.
- I'm telling you something
bad is going on in this town.
- I'm sure if Jackson's at
the auction, he's just busy.
Don't be such an alarmist.
- Look here Missy, Lucy has
been missing for over a week,
Emogene has been gone since last Friday,
and now Jackson isn't answering his phone.
- Do you honestly think my Jeb,
went and did something silly?
- [Both] No.
- I'm sure everything's fine and dany.
- Hey, what's Jackson's car doing up here?
- I didn't know it was Jackson's car.
- I thought it was a
Rakestraws cousin's niece.
- Sounds a little complicated to me.
- So what brings you up here?
- Let's just say I've been
doing a little investigating.
- Investigating what?
- Oh, you haven't heard.
- Heard what?
- Miss Lucy went missing over a week ago.
Several days later Emogene,
Jackson's sister disappeared.
And now, and I'm not sure,
it seems like Jackson may
have vanished as well.
- Well, ain't that the dangest thing?
Wilma was done gone and
got me some ground beef
for some chili fictions.
- Yeah, that's good.
Yeah, that's nice.
Keep that close, just to be safe.
(gun cocks)
- I think we should all go out there
and see what's going on.
- Oh, for heaven's sakes, Wilma.
What do you think you're gonna find?
I would not be going
anywhere without the sheriff.
- In over a week?
Don't you gals wanna get
to the bottom of this?
- No.
(apprehensive music)
- Fine.
I'll go ask him myself.
- Always been too nosy for her own good.
- (sighs) Wilma is in
her own little world.
- [Billy] People been
snooping around my place, Jeb.
- There's no evidence.
Don't get your panties in a word.
- [Billy] Well, you know I
don't like what's going on.
I ain't going back to jail.
- You know what, if you panic,
you're gonna really set off
a whole bunch of alarms.
And maybe you should
have thought about that
before you brought Lucy in here.
- [Billy] Well, I panicked.
- No shit, dumb ass.
Wilma, can I help you with something?
(eerie music)
- As a matter of fact, you can.
Where's Jackson?
- I don't know.
Out of town.
- Really?
Did he drive?
- How the hell should I know?
- You wanna know what I think, Jeb.
- No, Wilma.
What do you think?
- I think that special ground beef,
that you've been selling is
Lucy and Emogene and Jackson,
all grounded up.
- Now, that is totally ridiculous.
- So that I know it ain't true,
I wanna see inside your cooler.
- Okay then,
that's the only thing that's
gonna settle it for you
in your mind, follow me.
(gentle somber music)
After you.
(gentle somber music)
Now, do you see any of those people
that you keep talking about?
- Yeah.
- What do you mean?
- It's new?
- What?
- The ring.
- Oh, shit.
Sorry, Wilma, you gotta go.
(eerie music)
Don't just stand there.
Package her up and go grind
her up on the property.
I'll be right there.
- Oh, well, great, go in damn ass.
- Oh, I'm the damn ass?
(slap slams)
- Son of a bitch.
(phone rings)
- Wilma, pick up your damn phone.
(phone rings)
- Thanks for meeting me here today, Wyatt.
The way I see it,
it seems like everybody in
town comes through here.
- Listen, let me do the question,
he doesn't know me.
By the way, got the results
back from forensics.
Got a match on both Lucy
Ellis and Emogene Hardy.
- I knew it.
(phone siren blaring)
- Excuse me.
Bedford Chancy.
- [Riley] Sheriff, Wilma is missing.
- Say what?
- [Riley] She was supposed
to be back hours ago,
and she's not answering her phone.
- I had seen her at the dealership.
Maybe she needed to get her car repaired.
- [Riley] I don't know.
Taylor says there's some
strange shits going on.
- Well, don't panic, Riley.
We'll take a look into this.
You take care now, bye.
Poor Riley, Wilma is his everything.
- Another one gone missing?
- Wilma Fortnoy, been paining
my ass for 30 years now.
Not sure I care to find her,
but given what we know now,
it ain't looking good.
- Let's go ask some questions, shall we?
- Let's do.
- Here's your coffee, Riley.
- Thank you.
- Whoa, you hurt some
of your fingers lately?
- No, why do you ask?
- Though a particular reason,
there are fingernails on your table.
- This is a bone in my chili.
- Riley, it's a fingernail.
- Oh my God.
No.
Jesus, God Almighty.
There's more in my chili.
- Deep breath, Riley.
- There's more in refrigerator.
- I'm calling, Bedford.
- Oh, God.
- Gentlemen, sheriff.
- Jeb, as you know we got a
problem in this here, town.
Just trying to get it handled.
- But I kind of figured something's up,
when I seen you walk in all official act.
- It's detective Johnson, Barry County.
Come here to help me
figure this thing out.
- You mind if I have
asked you a few questions?
- Go ahead, detective.
- No need for formalities,
just call me Wyatt.
- All right, Wyatt, what can I do you for?
- Seem to be some missing
folk around here lately.
- Well, you know small
towns, small habits.
People come and go all the time,
and don't say nothing to nobody.
- Lucy, seemed to vanish
a couple weeks back.
No one knows where she's at.
- Well, Miss Lucy,
she takes off on some wild
adventure every couple weeks.
And just about the time we start to pack,
she shows right back up all cleaned up,
like she usually, doesn't it?
- That's right, that's true.
- Emogene, Jackson's sister
magically disappeared shortly after.
Nobody knows where she's
at, not even her brother.
- Well, he don't know,
how the hell am I supposed to know?
I mean, I'm just a butcher.
- Well, Billy just mowed her yard,
somehow she vanished.
- Oh, why don't you call Billy?
- I did call Billy.
He don't know nothing about nothing.
Jeb, please, will you help us out here?
We're just trying to get to
the bottom of this thing.
- It's all good, it's all good.
Look if I hear something,
I'll be sure to give you fellows a call.
All right?
- Whoa, stop.
I ain't done yet.
- Okay.
- Jackson, been missing a week.
- Well, Jackson goes out
of town every two weeks
to go get more inventory
for his crappy car lot.
Have you tried calling him?
- Yeah.
Can't get a hold of him.
No return call.
It just ain't like him.
- Yeah, then it ain't like him.
- One last question.
- Okay, well look guys, I
got customers coming in.
I gotta get behind the counter.
- Wilma.
- Wilma?
(laughs)
Dude she is piss off now.
- Oh buddy apparently she's been missing
since this morning.
- I wouldn't quite call it missing.
Blind Riley is really upset.
- Well, let me tell you
something about Wilma.
Wilma has been pissing
off people in this town
for close on 30 years now.
So it would surprise me
if she got under somebody's skirt
and they finally did something to her.
You know what I mean?
- This is no laughing matter.
We have four missing persons here.
- Whoa, whoa, wait a minute, now.
I didn't mean it like
that, I hope she's okay.
- What was your last encounter?
- Well, a couple days ago,
when she came in for some
fresh ground for her and Riley.
- Blind Riley?
- (indistinct) Riley.
- Thanks for your time, Jeb.
- Let's go chat with Blind Riley.
- All right.
Hey, listen.
Can I get you packed?
- No, we good, we good.
We'll talk with you later.
- Okay, talk with you later.
(phone siren blaring)
Busy phone day, huh?
- Hey Caleb, what's up?
- Bedford you gotta get out to Riley's,
there's some weird shit going down.
You gotta see this.
- Well, just so happens,
detective and I are on our way out there.
- Okay, I'll see you
when you get out here.
- All right, thank you.
(tense music)
- Looked at the window of Jackson's car
and saw a cell phone on the seat.
Yeah, I saw that.
Detective Johnson's out
there having a look around.
(tense music)
- I'll be damned.
- What?
- A fingernail, Riley.
- I think it's time we pay
them Rakestraws a visit.
- I'm gonna get my gun out of the car.
- I got my double barrel betsy.
- You ain't going nowhere, Riley.
You're blind.
You know that, right?
- But you're not leaving
me here by myself.
- Guess he's got a point.
- All right.
Alrighty then, let's step outside
and see what detective Johnson has got.
- Hey, Jeb?
Don't supposed to see Wilma around?
- No, not really.
- With that brother of yours
I was driving like a maniac.
- Oh, you know Billy.
He's always in the rush to go someplace.
Seriously you need to leave,
I got a lot of cleaning
up to do around here.
- Well, Wilma seems to think
you might have something to do with
Miss Lucy and Emogene disappearance.
- Wilma, town's busy body.
Not no more.
- What was that?
- Oh honey, I just said, I got a lot.
Oh, Jeb, (gasps) is
that blood on your neck?
- Oh yeah.
I cut off my fingers.
And I'm just cleaning that up, yeah.
- Ensuring you walk to.
(both chuckling)
- Grab that, okay?
- You need to (indistinct).
- It's chilly in here.
- Sure is.
(woman screaming)
They're looking at me.
- No, baby, it's just sheep's eyeball.
It's just the sheep's eyeball.
You know what Billy
loves to pickle and all.
(woman screaming)
Oh my God.
Oh honey, don't worry.
It's just sheep's blood.
It will be okay.
It's all right.
It's just sheep blood.
Gonna wash hand, right now, honey.
I promise you.
I'll tell you what?
Why don't you go clean up
and I'll get a couple steak.
You meet me up at Billy's
about nine o'clock,
and I'll make us nice barbecue, okay?
- Okay.
- All right, baby.
You could run a long now.
(axe thuds)
(Billy laughing)
- Good bye, little Wilma.
(eerie music)
- Jeb, I need you up here
to help me put them parts in the shredder.
- Billy, you need to
finish chopping up Wilma,
and go bury her on the property.
- [Billy] Are you crazy?
We need to sell this shit off.
- We can't do that this time,
Billy, Thelma-lou is there.
I think the jig is up.
- [Billy] What do you mean the jig is up?
- I think they know.
Look, Thelma-lou is
coming up to the property
at nine o'clock.
I'm bringing up a couple steak,
we're gonna have a barbecue.
You need to get rid of Wilma.
- [Billy] Goddamit, Jeb.
What the hell are you thinking
bringing her off here?
- Billy, I'm trying to make
her think everything is okay.
- [Billy] Yeah.
And what if she doesn't ride on it?
- Really?
She's about as dumb as you are.
- [Billy] (laughs) Oh yeah.
I see you're fine.
- All right.
Now look, you got a couple hours.
You need to finish chopping her up,
bury her on the property
and get yourself cleaned up.
- [Billy] All right.
- All right, bye.
Oh, geez.
(car engine purring)
(upbeat music)
- All right, Riley, watch your step.
Let's get you in there and
get that seatbelt fastened.
(tense music)
- Is that really a good idea?
- He'll never get out of the truck.
- I'll keep close.
- Okay.
(car door slams)
- Well, fellas may not
look like (indistinct)
but we get a job to do.
Time to hunt some bear.
- Let's do this.
(gentle ominous music)
- [Billy] At one time I
wanted a piece of you,
now I got all your pieces.
(radio buzzing)
(gentle ominous music)
(Thelma screams)
(glass spatters)
(eerie music)
- Jeb, Jeb, is that you?
(Thelma screaming)
- [Billy] Thelma!
(Thelma screaming)
Thelma!
(Thelma screaming)
Thelma!
(Thelma sobbing)
Thelma!
You are only making it hard on yourself.
(Thelma sobbing)
Thelma!
Come out, come out wherever you are.
(eerie music)
Thelma!
Come out, come out wherever you are.
(eerie music)
(body thuds)
(Thelma screaming)
Thelma!
Oh, Thelma!
(Thelma screaming)
Come on, Thelma.
(Thelma screaming)
- What the hell's going on?
- I'm so glad it's you, Jeb.
It's Billy.
He is got an axe, he is trying to kill me.
- No, it can't be Billy.
Billy knows you're my
girl, he would not do that.
- There's a body in the woods.
- A body?
Oh for goodness.
Come on, let's get to the bar.
(Thelma sobbing)
- Thelma-lou, I was just kidding.
You know, it's safe to come on out.
If you don't come out,
I'm gonna huff and buff
and chop my way in.
- [Jeb] Billy!
- Jeb.
Thank God, is Thelma-lou
in there with you?
- [Jeb] Of course, she's in
here with me, you dumb ass.
I mean she says you
are out crazy and shit.
- I ain't crazy.
Now open up the door, you know
we got business to tend to.
- [Jeb] I don't know what
the hell kind of business
you're talking about.
You just need to calm the fuck down.
- Jeb, what are you going on about?
You know what I'm talking about.
Now open the door, we got business.
- [Jeb] Listen, Billy,
we ain't coming out until you calm down.
- Son of a bitch, open the goddamn door.
(siren blaring)
- Billy, there's no need
for any more killing.
- One for Jackson.
- Now put your hands up
and turn and face the wall.
- One for Lucy.
- Billy drop the axe.
- [Billy] I ain't going to jail.
- Let me kill him, Bedford.
- Are you clowns crazy?
- Riley, hold that trigger finger
and point that thing
in the right direction.
- Look, the old ranger in the blind scout.
- [Jeb] He killed grandma.
- You son of a bitch.
- Billy, do what detective
Johnson tells you.
- Go to hell.
One for Emogene.
- I need to get inside that building.
- Ain't gonna happen.
He's got the door blocked.
- Don't see an easy way out of this one.
- Look, the blind leading the blind.
- Riley, no.
- You bustard, you killed my Wilma.
(gun fires)
- [Caleb] Shit, Riley!
- I don't think I'm gonna be talking
many more lawns, Jeb.
- Detective Johnson.
- Thank you, right Riley.
- [Sheriff] We need an ambulance.
- [Lady] We have a 1052
shotgun wound to the chest.
- [Man] Ambulance en-route.
- [Lady] Roger.
- Why you cuffing him?
He saved my life.
He is an accessory to a crime,
he's going to do some time.
- No.
- Don't worry, I'll speak up for him.
- He won't be very long.
- You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say
can and will be used against
you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney,
one will be appointed...
(machine trilling)
- What the hell am I supposed to do now?
- I don't give a shit.
- Really?
- You got off easy Rakestraw.
If it were up to me, you'd be a dead man.
- Got 11 crocked judges.
Say, where'd you get
picked up out here now.
- That way.
- Great.
(gentle music)
- Now you see, Billy,
this is where they took
out that chunk of trapping
on your brain from your accident.
So your brain's gonna be a little fuzzy,
your memory might not
come back right away,
but it will come back to you eventually.
I sure do like that doll a lot.
- Yeah, I do.
That's my Miss Lucy.
- Miss Lucy, huh?
- I love my Miss Lucy.
- At least you're taking
care of her, I guess.
Gives you something to
do while you're in here.
You'll get better though.
- You think?
Jim Bob Schwarzenegger.
- Oh, my name tag.
We don't talk about that much.
Mama used to clean houses for
old Arnold back in the day,
but we don't...
Let's change the subject.
Let's talk about Miss
Lucy some more, okay?
- Oh, I love Miss Lucy.
Do you wanna see Miss Lucy?
- Oh, I don't know.
How long you had this thing...
And what's that smell?
(gentle uplifting music)
- Hey baby.
- [Thelma] Hey baby.
- Thanks for picking me up.
- Always thought you was (indistinct).
- Yeah.
- What are you gonna do
now that you are out?
- The only thing I know
how baby, butchering.
(both laughs)
(eerie music)
(tire screeching)
- [Billy] Shit!
(man sighs)
- Hey baby, let me take a look.
- All right.
Here it comes.
Surprise!
- Sexy as always.
(kiss smooching)
- You know, baby,
we can't let that body sit in
that freezer too much longer.
You know it's been there three weeks.
- I know, but what are
we gonna do with it?
- Well, the way I figured,
we go on the road and
get us a Roach coach.
And Billy, we have to get
Billy out the center county.
- Whatever you want, sexy.
- I figured you'd go along over there.
Let's go kiss Billy.
(both laughing)
- Whoa!
What you got there, Billy Ray?
- I got some shiny shit.
- Oh, they gave you a coin, did they?
I guess you can't cause
too much damage with that.
No, don't put it in your mouth.
It going to break a tooth.
I got some good news for you.
- You got news for me?
- That's right.
You know your brother Jeb got
out of jail not too long ago.
- Jeb, Jeb, he's my brother?
- That's right.
That's right.
He's thinking about redoing the business,
taking it on the road.
He's gonna need your help.
Oh yes.
- Jeb's (laughs) gonna need my help?
- That's right.
- Did you hear that, Miss Lucy?
Jeb's gonna need my help.
Son of a bitch.
- Oh man.
This is gonna be bad, but
we're gonna get you outta here.
Okay?
- Okay.
- Oh, yeah.
(gentle somber music)
In down to a place I
used to call my home
Friends are gone
They knew the way they
must have traveled on
Trees to green no shoes to blue
I must have lost my head
When I stepped into that bar
Stepped in hell again
Blue has been the seven
bright (indistinct)
Skies are bright the beach is white
I knew no other way
Air was blowing amuse my all
I must have lost my head
At the age of seventeen
- How long you had this thing...
What is that smell?
(both laughing)
Sorry.
Left with my first broken heart
Left with a new place to start
Engineer
Been away 10 years and
so time flies so easily
Lies were good but winds to
go that's waiting out for me
Each fun and lost of fun
and each for running now
If she hangs around with
me gonna matter any how
'Cause you took my first breadth away
You took my song better the same
Left with my first broken heart
Left with my new place
to start, engineer
(upbeat music)
- [Woman] Action!
- Jackson Hardy, here, with
Jackson Hardy's Used Car Sails
As Is Auto Sales.
We got so many cars in stock
that we're having a sale.
This one here,
hell, I don't even know what
it is, but it runs great.
It's on it's way right to the junkyard.
This one, here, we got, is the minivan.
This is great if you have a family
that you probably
shouldn't have but you do.
So you got this one right here.
And this bad boy, here,
people are just dying to
get a ride in this one.
You purchase this one, I'll
throw in a free stray cat.
And then that one, there, fuck that one.
But this one!
This one here's got brand new tires
and a great engine, but it's not for sale.
- [Man] Did you get the sound?
- Yeah, we got it.
- Cut.
- Is it good?
- Billy, the sheriff and
the detective were here
grilling me about the whereabouts
of Wilma this morning.
Thank God they didn't ask
to look in the cooler.
You gotta help me get her outta here!
- Well, geez, you're my brother,
help me get her out of the cooler
and get her to the truck and
I'll take her to the property
and I'll grind her up.
Now, get in there, dumb ass!
- Oh, now I'm the dumb ass?
Ow, son of a bitch!
- [Billy] Man, where's the light?
It's dark in here and it's fucking cold!
- All right, Billy, you gotta
help me get her off the hook.
Now grab her by the legs and lift.
I got him by the shoulders.
- [Billy] Hang on.
- [Jeb] Oh my god, she weighs a ton!
- [Billy] I got her legs.
Let's turn her.
- [Billy] What?
- [Jeb] Oh, here we go, okay, turn slowly.
- Wait.
- Oh god.
Don't drop her.
Slowly, watch her head,
just for watch her head.
- I got it.
- I said watch your head!
(body thudding)
(blood squelching)
- Howdy, y'all.
(gentle tempo music)
Yeah, I'm talking to you,
all sitting down there, looking at me,
looking at this flame.
Flame kind of represents life.
You see how it moves around?
Things work and things don't sometimes
and then it just goes out.
(lighter clicks)
Just like that.
(upbeat music)
I bet you're thinking,
"I'm somewhat confused about
what I just saw right now."
Well, maybe I'm here and maybe I'm not
just to clear things
up, just a tad for you.
(upbeat music)
It all started just about
five some odd years ago.
It's been five years in the state pen.
Well, some say it was my
fault, some say that is wasn't.
But you know what?
A good judge, crooked
lawyer, or vice versa,
you never know what you're gonna get.
(upbeat music)
From ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
- Guess the moral of this story is,
you know how you sometimes
get caught up in life
and you just want to take a ride
out in the country by yourself,
just to kind of clear your mind
and get the fog of life and
cobwebs outta your head?
Oh, there you go down the highway
and you get out in the country
and you suddenly decide
you're gonna take an off road
and nothing but greenery and
beautiful trees out there
and come to the stoplight
and you got a choice to make.
Sometimes that choice ain't easy.
It may not be the right one neither.
Do I go left, or do I go right?
Well, I grew up in a little
town out there in the country
and in the south.
Wouldn't call them towns,
wouldn't call them cities,
but When they get under 300
people, they call them a gulch.
Well, that's where I growed up.
So instead of going left,
you decided to go right
and guess where you ended up?
(man laughing)
You ended up in a gulch.
You've seen them before
but you very rarely stop.
But you pull into this little town and,
this little gulch, and
you think to yourself,
"This is one of those towns
where everybody knows everybody."
You know the town.
It's small,
From ashes to ashes
(chuckling)
And dust to dust
but let me tell you something else.
Really started out all innocent life,
but that little town has
some big, big problems.
(man laughing)
(saw buzzing)
(mower buzzing)
(woman screaming)
(slaps smacking)
(car engine purring)
(birds chirping)
Been down to a place
I used to call my home
Friends are gone, they moved away
They must've traveled on
- By any chance,
may I see your driver's
license and registration?
I must've lost my head
When I stepped into that bar
Stepped into hell again
(somber guitar music)
- All right, there you go.
All right, you slow down now,
you drive safe, you have a nice day now.
Skies are bright the beach is white
I knew no other way
(mower engine revving)
Air was blowing amuse my all
I must have lost my head
At the age of seventeen
(mower engine revving)
- What the hell you doing
standing right in front
of my fucking lawnmower
for, you damn fool?
- I was trying to get your attention,
but as usually, you listen
to that crap you call music.
- You know, I could have run
over your fat, obnoxious ass,
then I'd have had to tell your lazy wife
that I done chopped you up!
For a smart guy, you sure are a dumb ass.
- Dumb ass?
I make 10 times what you make.
- Fat fuck!
One of these days, I'm
gonna run over your fat ass!
- Watch where you're driving moron!
(mower buzzing)
- What was that all about, Jackson?
- That dumb son of a bitch
almost grinded me up.
Driving around listening to music so loud
you couldn't hear a bomb go off.
- You didn't answer my question.
- [Jackson] I'm trying
to get him to go over
and mow my sister's lawn on Friday.
- Such a bother about nothing.
You two have been feuding for years.
Now, come on, let's get out of here.
I got some shopping to do.
- [Jackson] That is the
ugliest son of a bitch
that I've ever seen.
(lively banjo music)
- [Jeb] Hey, Miss Lucy.
- How are you doing today, Jeb?
- Oh, fine and dandy, fine and dandy.
Hey, congratulations
on winning Miss Junebug
again this year.
- Thank you, Jeb, I'm so
proud to serve my community.
- Oh, I'm sure you are.
It's quite a burden for you there.
What can I get for you today?
- I'll have a pound of ground
and juicy rib eye, please.
- All right.
What did you do to your finger?
- Oh, chopping and chipping,
you know the business.
- Ooh.
- That's how it goes.
So how come you haven't got
a boyfriend again this year?
- Well, I had one kinda, sorta.
But he was too jealous.
- Oh boy, you know, well
being a Miss Junebug and all,
that's quite a big responsibility.
You're quite the celebrity, you know,
and not a lot of people can handle that.
- Right, I'm a celebrity,
and he'd get agitated when people come up
wanting to take pictures
of me and my crown.
- Oh my gosh.
Well, here you go, on
your account as usual?
- Yes, please, if you don't mind.
- Oh no, no, no problem at all.
No problem at all.
- So, Jeb?
- [Jeb] Mm-hmm?
- How come a handsome man such
as yourself is not hitched?
- Oh, well, I kinda like the
hunting and fishing life.
It's hard to find somebody
to go along with that.
- You just need a nice
country girl like me.
- Well, I do like Thelma-lou now,
but she's gotta know how to cut and grind,
if you know what I mean.
- Well, all righty then. (chuckling)
- Well, Miss Lucy, you
be safe out there now.
You know them country boys,
they don't slow down for nothing.
- Thank you, Jeb, you
are such a worry wart.
- All righty, Miss Lucy.
(upbeat banjo music)
Ain't she something?
(car door slams)
- Goddamn it, Bedford, that's
the third one this week!
All for a fucking tail light?
Son of a bitch!
Parking tickets, speeding tickets.
When will this shit ever end?
Son of bitch!
- [Bedford] Well, if you
would have attended to it
or just paid that last batch.
- Son of a-
- I'd be inclined
to let your sorry ass go.
I'd be rocking up on
that I gave her my name
Better not be open, Billy.
- [Billy] They're not, what
do you think I am, stupid?
(country music)
- What's that smell?
- It's grass, you ass!
(car engine revving)
- Better not be the illegal kind!
One of these days, Rakestraw.
One of these days.
Save your life and
now you're my friend
Oh this little creature
is my little rat
He's a little old
rat, he's bad as a cat
He walks my halls and
he drags his balls
(Lucy screaming)
(tires screeching)
- Shit!
(country music)
(car door slams)
Miss Lucy, Miss Lucy, are you...
Oh, shit!
(Billy gagging)
You're my
I'm so sorry, Miss Lucy.
Ew!
And saved your life and
now you're my friend
Oh, Jesus!
Jesus, I killed her!
(phone buzzing)
- Fatbacks, we slice them and dice them
just the way you like them.
- Jeb!
Jeb!
I think I just killed Miss Lucy.
- Are you sure she's dead?
- I'm pretty sure.
Hell, her eyeball's under my tire.
- Well, I guess you're just
gonna have to turn yourself in.
- Oh hell no, hell no!
There ain't no way I'm going back to jail!
- Well, you can't bring her here.
- Jeb, you're my brother!
You're supposed to help me!
- Half-brother.
- That's besides the point.
Are you gonna help me or not?
- I cannot believe our
mama slept with your daddy!
- [Billy] Son of bitch!
- Son of a bitch!
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't
see you standing there.
- My grandpa would like some
of that special brown beef.
- All right, coming right up.
- We'll eat good tonight.
- [Jeb] There you go.
- [Grandpa] Thank you very much.
- I'll put it on your account, Henry.
(phone tapping)
(Jeb sighs)
Hey honey, I'm not gonna be
able to make dinner tonight,
I'm afraid-
- What's wrong?
Your idiot brother again?
- Yeah, Billy's got himself
in a whole hit patrol.
It's probably going take me half a night
to clean up this mess.
You know, if I get done early enough,
maybe I can meet you for breakfast.
- Okay, honey.
Try not to stay up too late.
- All right, sweetie.
Love you.
- Love you too.
- I know.
Oh, howdy, sheriff?
The usual?
- Yeah, that'd be just fine.
- So anything new and
exciting happening out there?
- Nah.
Same old, same old.
Gave your brother another ticket today.
- (chuckles) He just
doesn't learn, does he?
- No.
You know, I've seen the damnest thing
laying in the middle of road today.
- Yeah, what's that?
- It look like ground beef
and steak got run over.
- That's weird.
Hmm.
(phone buzzing)
Oh, I better get this.
- All right.
Just add this to my account.
When I ask you how you're doing
- Hey, Billy, what the
hell are you call me for?
The Sheriff's here!
- [Billy] Grab her by the arm, idiot.
- [Jeb] I got it.
- [Billy] Grab it by the waist.
Come on! (men screaming and groaning)
- Get on it.
- I got it.
- [Jeb] All right, all right.
- Aw!
- Stop playing with the damn corpse.
- She's playing me!
- Don't be ridiculous, she's dead.
- So what's the plan?
- Fuck the plan, there's
evidence everywhere.
- So what are we gonna do?
Just leave her hanging there?
- Well, we can't do that either,
food inspector comes in a month.
- Let's burry her.
- Now, no time.
- How about we burn her?
- Nope, that'll leave evidence.
- Well then fuck that,
let's just grind her up
and sell her over the
counter as ground beef.
(both laughs)
Wait, you ain't laughing!
- You might just have an idea there.
Why don't you help me grind her?
(motor roaring)
- Oh, hey sheriff.
- Seem to be a little
jumpy this morning, Jeb.
- Oh, I'm just tired.
I've been putting up this
meat from my distributor.
- Looks meaty, smells delicious.
I think I'll have some.
- Well, is that all you want for today?
- Put up a rush there.
- I'm busy, busy.
I got all this meat to
put up before it spoil.
- All right, just go
ahead and add it to my-
- Account.
I got it.
Yeah, will do.
- Have you seen Miss Lucy?
(apprehensive music)
- I saw her a couple days ago.
- She was supposed to
meet me for breakfast
this morning down at the diner,
but she never showed up.
- [Jeb] Well, you know how Miss Lucy is,
she always going on a wild
goose chasing, some adventure.
I'm sure she'll be there.
- Well, if you see her,
you tell her I'll be waiting
for her tomorrow morning.
- [Jeb] I will do.
- All right, thank you.
- Alrighty.
(apprehensive music)
- Jeb!
- Oh, howdy Wilma?
Back in town for the winter?
- You know me,
these old bones can't
handle no more snowstorms.
Been coming down here since
I was a kid with my parents.
- Yeah, I know.
So what can I do for you today?
- I want some ground for my meatloaf.
Always looking for something unique.
- Well, got this new
ground from my distributor.
Little pricier than normal.
(apprehensive music)
- You tried it?
- Nope.
I have not had a chance.
It just came in last night.
- I'll have to try it.
Three pounds.
French, huh?
- Yep.
So you wanna start a
weekly account as usual?
- That works?
I will try this in my meatloaf tonight,
I will let you know how it is.
- I'm sure you will.
(Jeb laughs)
- Have a good day.
- Back at you.
(apprehensive music)
(plane engine roars)
(car door slams)
- Hey, Jackson.
- Jesus, Billy, is this fourth
or fifth deer this season?
- I don't know, I'm
too busy to keep track.
Can you fix the damn thing or not?
- Deer, was it a ginger?
- It was dark.
Can you fix it?
- Yeah, go ahead, we'll replace the grill,
clean it up and pull it in the shop.
- You're an (indistinct).
(car door slams)
(car engine revving)
Can you testify
(car door slams)
About what it's like to be
- Hang on a second.
Freddie.
- Yeah.
- [Jackson] You got another one.
- What is this, like the
third time this month?
- [Billy] Dude, bite me.
Can you fix it or not?
- Coulda at least clean it, you bastard?
- [Billy] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, I'll get right on it, tomorrow.
- Hey Jackson, how about a loaner?
I need a ride.
- Here, try not to hit
anything with it, Billy.
- Yeah, man, it's a junker.
- I don't care.
- Arg, such an apple!
- And no drinking and doping neither.
- What the fuck, ever.
Hey, things keep going
the way they're going,
I'm gonna need this old son of a bitch.
(car door slams)
- This is what kept you up late, baby?
French ground beef?
- Yeah, honey.
I'm sorry I missed breakfast.
But you know, you better get
you some before it runs out.
- I'll take some of that specialty beef.
- I'll be right with you.
- Well, how many pounds
do you think I would like?
- Well, it all depends on
how many pounds you can take.
I mean eat.
(Jeb laughs)
- Well, I don't wanna ruin my girl-
- Can we get some help over here?
- I'll take two pounds.
How much?
- $50.
- For ground beef?
- It's a real beauty.
- Well, if it tastes like
shit, you gotta refund me.
- Excuse me, missy.
- Now then, where were we?
- [Jeb] You wanted to try my special beef.
- Well, thank you.
I'll take two pounds, please.
(indistinct)
- How much?
- [Jeb] Oh baby, it's on the house.
- You wanna show up for dinner tonight?
- Oh, sweetie, I'd love
to, but I'm just busy.
You know?
Busy, busy.
- Okay.
- I'll talk to you later.
Now, what did you want?
- [Andy] Give me some
of the specialty beef.
Let's get out.
- Hardy's Used Car Sails.
Push it, pull it or tow it in, or out.
(dramatic upbeat music)
Hey, Sheba.
- Hey.
- Where's Caleb?
- Oh, you know Caleb,
he's either working or
chugging up on (indistinct).
- Yeah.
Hey, is there something I can do for you?
- Yeah, I'm looking for an SUV.
- I got the 99 right there.
(upbeat music)
- Does it work?
- Well, (indistinct).
Uh-uh.
- (chuckles) Forget about it.
I'll see you later.
You just look at me and say
- Look, you know what Jackson?
For all the shit you put me through,
that don't look half bad.
- Yeah, yeah.
Just get over to my sister
on Friday and mow the lawn.
- All right, just give me
the keys to the damn thing.
- Don't forget, she's
gonna be home that day,
so let her know that you're there.
- Well, I would think when
she heard the lawn mower,
she'd already fucking know.
(car engine revving)
- Now, Billy's on his way
over here to mow the lawn,
the lawn, not your lawn.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Now make sure he does a good job.
- Oh, I'm sure he will.
- You call me if he doesn't.
- Don't you have some cars
to go sell, little brother?
- I mean it now,
I do not want that man
as my brother-in-law.
(birds chirping)
- [Radio] On Day to Day
Rock in the morning,
only on 92.3-
- Hey Billy.
- Hey, what's up.
Hey man, don't forget when
you're done with Emogene
to come on over to my place.
- No, no, I'll do that for you
for a cold one, and a hot one.
- Hell yeah.
- I'll see you in a bit.
- All right.
(car engine roaring)
- [Jeb] Billy, I need
more fresh meat to grind.
Billy.
- I ain't doing it.
There ain't no way, Jeb.
There ain't no way, Lucy was an accident.
- [Jeb] I'm telling you,
I even raised the price three times.
It's selling like crazy.
- I ain't doing it, goddamn it.
- [Jeb] I need more meat to grind, Billy.
(mower engine revving)
- Billy, you missed a spot over here.
(Billy gagging)
(mower revving)
- Shit!
(blood squelching)
Shit!
Son of a bitch!
(tense music)
(indistinct)
(blood squelching)
(mower revving)
- Bedford Chancy.
- Hi sheriff, Caleb here.
I'm over here at Lucy's and
there's still no sign of her.
- Well, now that is a little concerning.
- I was over at Jeb's,
and he ain't seen her for over a week.
- Hm-mm.
Now Emogene's missing.
- What was that, sheriff?
- Sorry, sorry.
I'm just talking out loud.
- Might wanna file a
missing person's report.
- Yeah.
Come on into the station and
I'll get the paperwork done.
- Okay.
- All right, bye now.
(car door slams)
Hello, Jackson, what
seems to be the problem?
- Good morning Bedford,
thank you for coming out.
Emogene didn't show up for work
at the dealership this morning.
I called, she didn't answer.
- That's not unlike her.
- It is this time of the year.
- How so?
- Tax season.
She gotta get the books in order.
- I see.
Did you take a look inside?
- I was going to, and then
it occurred to me that
if something untoward happened,
I'd be destroying evidence.
- Good point.
All right, well let's open her up.
- I knocked when I got
here, but she didn't answer.
(tense music)
- Everything looks fine inside here.
Nothing seems to be amiss.
- Yeah.
All right then.
- All right, let's get out of here.
- Well, nothing seemed
to be amiss in there.
- Appears that way.
- You know Emogene was a shopaholic.
She probably went into the next county
to buy something new,
to expose the world to.
- Yeah, you're probably right.
- I tell you what?
If she don't give you a
call by tomorrow, call me.
- Yeah.
All right then.
- I'm gonna get out of
your way so you can leave.
If you don't mind,
I'm gonna look around the
property a little bit.
- All right.
I appreciate it, sheriff.
(gentle brooding music)
Been away 10 years and
so time flies so easily
- Hmm, interesting.
Each fun and lost of fun
and each for running now
If she hangs around with me
Damnest thing I've ever seen.
'Cause you took my first breadth away
You took my song better the same
Left with my first broken heart
Left with a new place
to start, engineer
- Howdy sheriff.
- Hi, Caleb.
Long-time no see.
- Lucy's not home.
- Apparently not.
I haven't seen her in a couple days.
- Well, she does take off from
time to time on adventures.
- Yeah, she does do that.
- She'll probably be back by tomorrow.
She can't stay gone for
more than a couple of days.
- I appreciate you looking
out after her like you do.
How's the computer business?
- Long hours as usual,
you know how that is?
- Not really.
Anyhow, you give me a jingle
if she shows up, will you?
- Yeah, I'll check on her first thing
and give you a heads up.
- All right, thank you.
(crowd chattering)
- Now hold on now, there's
enough for everyone.
(group chattering)
- Rumor say that you got (indistinct)
Anything like the French-
- Well, yeah, it's still a
little overexposed, but yeah.
- Now, now, y'all just hold on a minute.
Hold on a minute.
- I bought five pounds!
- Now, hold on now.
We have a limited supply.
- This is why they are crazy
over this shit, aren't they?
- I just dunno how we're
gonna keep this up.
(group chattering)
- Now, y'all wait just a half-minute!
(group chattering)
Damn it, would you help me?
Would you help me?
- [Jeb] All right, that's it.
we're all out.
(group chattering)
- Hey there, Bedford, sir.
You're too late, man.
We're sold out.
- Jeb, I didn't come here for that.
- Oh.
- Billy!
- Shit.
- Shit.
- Don't worry, I didn't come here
to give you another ticket.
- Praise Jesus.
- Is there a problem?
- I guess you can say so.
- What is it?
- What is it?
- Lucy is still missing, and
I just came from Emogene,
and you were just there yesterday
mowing her yard, correct?
- Yes, sir, I was.
I went there and did my
job, I got the hell out.
- Well, you know she was
a little sweet on you.
- Yeah, and it scared
a bit Jesus out of me.
- While you there, did you
see anything suspicious?
- No, sir.
No, sir.
Not a thing, I mowed the
grass and I hauled out.
(sheriff laughs)
- Jeb?
- Yeah.
- Kind of unusual
that you're getting
some regular deliveries
of that specialty meat this week.
- No.
Why'd you say that?
- Oh, twice this week.
- Yeah, but I don't know
when he is gonna show up,
or with what?
- I got to go.
- Billy, you see Emogene, you
give me a ring now, you hear?
- Yeah, sure.
I'll get right on it.
- But she only comes in
every couple of weeks or so.
- Yeah, right.
- Well, since you're here, I mean,
can we get you anything else?
- No, thanks, Jeb.
But I gotta get back to the station.
I have some evidence that I
need to send into forensics.
- [Both] Evidence?
- Yep.
- Rakestraw, we all know my
sister had the hots for you.
- Yeah, well I didn't
have the hots for her.
- Yeah, well now she's missing,
and if I find out you had
anything to do with it, Rakestraw,
I'ma beat you to death
with that sludge hammer.
- Look, you were an
asshole in high school,
you're an asshole now, and
you'll always be an asshole.
Now get the fuck off my property.
- You're a sick bastard, Rakestraw.
And as soon as I find proof, I'll be back.
- Son of a bitch.
(man groaning)
Stop it.
Stop it.
Stop making noise.
(hammer pounding)
(engine revving)
(bell ringing)
- What's happening here?
Frankie's opening it up late today, huh?
Wilma, did you tell everyone
that he had more specialty beef in here?
- I mighta mentioned it.
- God, we got so much beef-
(Sheriff knocking)
- [Man] Hey, why do you
feel like going early?
- You know what?
I'm here on official police business,
you'll need to just back up and stay calm.
- What's all this about, Bedford?
- Sheriff, you kind of
puzzle about something.
- That's USDA approved.
- Jeb, that's not what I'm talking about.
- Oh, what are you talking?
Oh, that's not how I wanna wrap with that.
I always take it off
when I'm grinding meat.
- Itchy finger?
- Yeah, this thing has a
bad habit of doing that.
- You know what?
It looks like I've seen
that someplace before.
- Of course you have, it's right here.
- You must not keep
your customers waiting.
- No, I wouldn't...
Yeah, I wouldn't want to do that.
- One more thing.
- What?
- When you see Billy,
you tell him he needs to call me.
- I can try to get him to call you,
but I doubt he's gonna wanna
talk to you voluntarily.
- Well, you tell him
it's kind of important,
and he needs to call me.
- All right, I'll do.
(door chimes)
All right.
One at a time, one at a time.
(phone buzzing)
- [Forensics] This is forensics,
the results will be in by Friday.
- Well, I understand the delays,
'cause your chief forensic
officer is out of town.
However, the sheriff may
not be so understanding.
- [Forensics] (sighs) We assure you
the results will be back by Friday.
- I'll let him know.
But I tell you, he's not gonna be happy.
- [Forensics] We apologize.
You have a nice day, detective.
- You maybe getting yourself
in over your head, Bedford.
(gentle ominous music)
(Billy laughs)
(birds chirping)
(phone buzzing)
- Hi, Bedford.
Caleb calling, NASFA was
gonna give you a hand
on this thing, but before I commit,
I wanted to go over a
few details with you.
- Sure, go ahead.
- Lucy Ellis, hometown beauty, yeah?
- Well, truthfully the only
contestant 10 years running,
missing about 12 days ago.
- No competition, huh?
Emogene Hardy, tied to that car lot fella?
- Yeah.
Jackson's older sister.
She's quite the hussy.
Something just doesn't sit right
with her disappearance last Friday.
- And now he's gone missing, right?
- Yeah.
He is kind of a sleaze.
- Oh, Hey sheriff.
How you doing?
- Hello Jackson.
So the sassy lady, huh?
- Yep.
Named her after Lucy.
She don't run, kind of like me.
- Huh?
Is that right?
You wanna sell it?
I'll give you 500 for it.
- You must be smoking
that same shit as Billy.
- Nah-uh.
- Just take off to buy
cars every so often,
but he's just not answering his phone.
- Well, look, how about if I come over,
we'll take a look around,
we'll start asking some questions.
Maybe if I show up,
we'll get some answers.
- Worked for me.
Why?
- All right, we'll see you tomorrow.
- Well, hey there.
What can I do for you?
- How are you doing today?
- Oh, I'm all right.
What can I do for you?
- Hoping to maybe trade
in my old truck here,
get something a little nicer.
- This piece of shit?
I ain't buying this.
- Well, you don't got
to be a dick about it.
I won't need nothing from you anyway
if you gonna act like that.
Piece of chicken.
(car door slams)
(car engine revving)
Asshole.
(gentle music)
- It's getting a little eerie scary.
And this one's a little
bit out there though.
I just only wrote traffic
tickets in this eerie town.
- I was thinking that myself, Bedford.
- As you know Miss Ellis
has yet to be located,
but I've got a bad feeling
about the disappearance of Emogene Hardy.
- Any news on the
whereabouts of Jackson Hardy?
- Since the last time we spoke,
secretary said that he went
outta town for an auction.
He's supposed to be back Friday.
- And he hasn't returned
their calls either.
- To best of my understanding.
- Hmm.
Got a notification this
morning from my county
that there's a missing person.
I'm starting to think there's a relation.
- Oh geez, I'm about to
retire, I don't need this shit.
- Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
However, if they don't start showing up,
we may have a serial killer in our hands.
- Well, I'll be damned.
An honest to goodness,
serial killer? (laughs)
We might just get us to Walmart. (laughs)
- You might have something there.
- Well, when are we
gonna get to detecting?
- Well, and captain asked me
to come back to the office,
look into a possible homicide
related to that missing person.
So I might have to get
back through tomorrow.
- All right.
I'm gonna head on out.
See if I can gather any more information.
- Unrelated question.
- What is that?
- Chancy's Gulch.
Are you kidding?
- Well, yeah, my great, great, grandpapa
settled here after the civil war.
I ain't never been married, no kids.
And I'm getting too old
to be spreading my seeds.
- What are the chances, Chancy?
Jane dead yet.
- Hmm.
With what's happening
now, it may just kill me.
(gentle music)
(phone ringing)
In the time, in the time
when the sun never shine
- Hearing things again.
You'll hear the wind gold wind blows
Let the grave in the time
where the sun never shine
Let the grave
(teeth gnashing)
(gentle music)
Damp bones.
My true love life and a narrow grave
In the pines where the sun never shine
- There you go, Wilma.
- Now you've been getting
a lot of specialty ground beef lately.
- Lucky, I guess.
Next.
Oh, hey, Caleb.
How you doing?
- Just peachy, how about you?
- I'm busy.
What can I get for you today?
- Well, I like to try your special.
Wilma tells me I missed
the last few batches.
- Yeah, Wilma's my best advertisement.
- Give me five pounds.
- You got it.
Ah, (indistinct) 'cause I don't know
when my distributor's gonna
get me anymore and now...
By the way, that's 50 bucks.
- Pricey!
But I here it's worth it.
- Yeah.
- You have been busy lately.
- Hey honey, not really.
- I'd like some of your sausage today.
- Ooh, I'm sure you do.
- What was that?
- Oh, I mean, how much would you like?
- Well, it's just for me and for us.
A few pounds should do it.
- I will tell you the truth,
I'm off of ground beef
or sausage lately.
Right here.
Relaxed though.
- You're done?
I'm in kind of a hurry.
- All right then, I better run along.
- Make your dating
arrangements some other time.
- What the hell is your problem Mr.?
- I gotta get back to work.
- What the hell do you want?
- Five pounds of your special ground beef.
- All right.
Five.
Here.
Hit it out.
- You get to weigh it?
- You want it or not?
- Customer, no fucking service.
- Asshole.
- Hi.
- Hi honey.
What can I get for you?
- Five pounds of your special, please.
- Coming right up.
- Thank you.
(gentle music)
- [Wilma] How are doing, Randy?
- Fine.
The chili brownie was quite delicious.
A little bit bony, but delicious.
- I'm glad you liked it.
- Hey, not now, I don't
have time for that today.
- Well, that's too bad.
- Maybe next week.
- Just like the Rakestraw
boys, drop and go.
- The Rakestraw boys?
They were up here?
- Yeah.
They were up here yesterday,
they dropped off a cousin's
daughter's car for a bit.
- That's funny.
I didn't see a car when I pulled up.
- They parked it around back.
- I'll see you next week.
Don't forget the chili.
I like getting quick.
- Thank you, darling.
- Jackson's car!
(eerie music)
- Jeb.
- Goddamit Billy, how
many times have I told you
not to sneak up on me like that?
- What?
I just wanted to find
out what you find out
about the evidence.
- I sold out.
- You sold out?
You told me you weren't gonna do that.
- It's not like I had a
goddamn choice now, did I?
- Well, I guess there is that.
(door knocks)
- Wilma, we're closed.
- I wanna ask you something.
- Can't you come back tomorrow?
- I could, but I'm here now.
- All right, go ahead.
- Okay.
You know how I go out to
Blind Riley's every week?
- Yeah.
Can we make this a short story?
- I was up there and I saw Jackson's car.
- Yeah, well he left it
up there for his niece
for 16th birthday as a gift.
- All banged up?
- Yeah, of course he did.
He said he'll fixed it when he gets back.
- You got somebody in there?
- Wilma I got to go.
- Is that Thelma-lou?
- Wilma!
Wilma, I gotta go.
Have a nice day.
Get in the back, you moron.
I thought I told you to have a nice day.
- Sorry, Jeb, can I come on in?
Jeb, you're trying to stab me with that?
- No, I was just cleaning.
- Well, I just got off the phone
with White Johnson from Barry County.
He seems to think that the
missing person from his city
might be tied to the
missing folks over here.
- What exactly are you
trying to say, Bedford?
- Nothing.
I just thought you might
have heard something.
Seems like everyone in the town
seems to come here on a regular basis.
- Nope.
Heard nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
- Sold out, huh?
- Yeah.
My supplier says no more
for the season, done.
- Interesting.
Hmm.
I tell you, you know what?
I got one more thing.
- What?
- Jackson is coming back
from the auction tomorrow.
If you see him before I do,
you have him to give me a call, will you?
- Sure.
Sure.
Okay.
- Thank you very much.
- You're welcome.
- All right.
- Get back here.
- Where did you say you found this again?
- After I left Lucy's house the other day,
I stopped for gas on county road, 549.
- You found that at the gas station?
- No, up the road at piece,
there was some buzzers
pecking at some meat,
so I stopped to check it out.
- Roadkill?
- Nope.
That's the odd thing.
Couldn't tell, so I took a closer look,
and that's when I found
this earring in here.
(eerie music)
- It looks familiar.
I'm gonna send this over to Wyatt.
Hopefully he'll have both my
answers by the end of the week.
- Both?
- Yeah.
When Emogene went missing,
I found some stuff that looks suspicious.
So I had sent that over to him.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Well, thanks for bringing that in.
I'll be sure to let you know
if something else comes about.
(gentle somber music)
- Bedford, clean it all up like I said.
- Do me a favor, Caleb.
You go around this side and on the grass,
or anything you might see.
I'm gonna go around this
side and take a look.
(somber music)
If you had to what
would you do with it
You find anything over there yet, Caleb?
- No, nothing yet.
Are you afraid of what is real
Lost my trust they making no deal
'Cause he loves him
- Found something.
All eyes all over you
What does this look like to you?
- Piece of a grill?
- Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing.
(phone siren blaring)
Bed Chancy.
- [CSI Forensic] Hello
sheriff, CSI forensic.
- I know.
Showed on the caller ID.
- [CSI Forensic] Look, I spoke
with the lab this morning.
They're reviewing the evidence,
and we'll have the results by tomorrow.
- That's good to know, I guess.
- [CSI Forensic] Anything
else I can help you with?
- Nope.
Out here in the field
tracking some possible leads.
- [CSI Forensic] Good luck.
We will have the results
back to you in the am.
- Sound good.
- Did Jackson go to the
auto auction this week?
- Oh, yeah.
He left on Monday, but should
be back tomorrow morning.
- Did he drive his own car?
- Of course, he did.
- That is a little confusing.
- And why is that?
- Because I was up at
Blind Riley's yesterday
and I saw his car parked around back.
- I wonder why he would do that.
- I thought the same thing.
Riley said the Rakestraws
put it back there.
Something about a niece and a birthday.
- Not that I'm aware of.
- Hey, y'all.
- Oh, hi Thelma-lou, we are
ready for your oil change.
Why didn't you call him, Barbara.
- Call who?
- Jackson?
- Something wrong?
- Well, Wilma here seems to think
there's some shenanigans going on,
involving the Rakestraws.
No, I tried to call once already
and I told Bedford that
he wasn't answering.
- My sweet Jeb, you don't think he went
and did something silly?
- Go ahead and call him.
Is he picking up?
(phone ringing)
- I'm sure if Jackson's at the auction,
he's just busy.
- Stop making such a fuss.
(phone ringing)
- Riley.
- Holy shit!
Caleb, you know better than
scaring an old man like that.
- Hold on, Riley, didn't
mean to scare you.
- Oh, just rang and rang.
Didn't even go to voicemail.
- I'm telling you something
bad is going on in this town.
- I'm sure if Jackson's at
the auction, he's just busy.
Don't be such an alarmist.
- Look here Missy, Lucy has
been missing for over a week,
Emogene has been gone since last Friday,
and now Jackson isn't answering his phone.
- Do you honestly think my Jeb,
went and did something silly?
- [Both] No.
- I'm sure everything's fine and dany.
- Hey, what's Jackson's car doing up here?
- I didn't know it was Jackson's car.
- I thought it was a
Rakestraws cousin's niece.
- Sounds a little complicated to me.
- So what brings you up here?
- Let's just say I've been
doing a little investigating.
- Investigating what?
- Oh, you haven't heard.
- Heard what?
- Miss Lucy went missing over a week ago.
Several days later Emogene,
Jackson's sister disappeared.
And now, and I'm not sure,
it seems like Jackson may
have vanished as well.
- Well, ain't that the dangest thing?
Wilma was done gone and
got me some ground beef
for some chili fictions.
- Yeah, that's good.
Yeah, that's nice.
Keep that close, just to be safe.
(gun cocks)
- I think we should all go out there
and see what's going on.
- Oh, for heaven's sakes, Wilma.
What do you think you're gonna find?
I would not be going
anywhere without the sheriff.
- In over a week?
Don't you gals wanna get
to the bottom of this?
- No.
(apprehensive music)
- Fine.
I'll go ask him myself.
- Always been too nosy for her own good.
- (sighs) Wilma is in
her own little world.
- [Billy] People been
snooping around my place, Jeb.
- There's no evidence.
Don't get your panties in a word.
- [Billy] Well, you know I
don't like what's going on.
I ain't going back to jail.
- You know what, if you panic,
you're gonna really set off
a whole bunch of alarms.
And maybe you should
have thought about that
before you brought Lucy in here.
- [Billy] Well, I panicked.
- No shit, dumb ass.
Wilma, can I help you with something?
(eerie music)
- As a matter of fact, you can.
Where's Jackson?
- I don't know.
Out of town.
- Really?
Did he drive?
- How the hell should I know?
- You wanna know what I think, Jeb.
- No, Wilma.
What do you think?
- I think that special ground beef,
that you've been selling is
Lucy and Emogene and Jackson,
all grounded up.
- Now, that is totally ridiculous.
- So that I know it ain't true,
I wanna see inside your cooler.
- Okay then,
that's the only thing that's
gonna settle it for you
in your mind, follow me.
(gentle somber music)
After you.
(gentle somber music)
Now, do you see any of those people
that you keep talking about?
- Yeah.
- What do you mean?
- It's new?
- What?
- The ring.
- Oh, shit.
Sorry, Wilma, you gotta go.
(eerie music)
Don't just stand there.
Package her up and go grind
her up on the property.
I'll be right there.
- Oh, well, great, go in damn ass.
- Oh, I'm the damn ass?
(slap slams)
- Son of a bitch.
(phone rings)
- Wilma, pick up your damn phone.
(phone rings)
- Thanks for meeting me here today, Wyatt.
The way I see it,
it seems like everybody in
town comes through here.
- Listen, let me do the question,
he doesn't know me.
By the way, got the results
back from forensics.
Got a match on both Lucy
Ellis and Emogene Hardy.
- I knew it.
(phone siren blaring)
- Excuse me.
Bedford Chancy.
- [Riley] Sheriff, Wilma is missing.
- Say what?
- [Riley] She was supposed
to be back hours ago,
and she's not answering her phone.
- I had seen her at the dealership.
Maybe she needed to get her car repaired.
- [Riley] I don't know.
Taylor says there's some
strange shits going on.
- Well, don't panic, Riley.
We'll take a look into this.
You take care now, bye.
Poor Riley, Wilma is his everything.
- Another one gone missing?
- Wilma Fortnoy, been paining
my ass for 30 years now.
Not sure I care to find her,
but given what we know now,
it ain't looking good.
- Let's go ask some questions, shall we?
- Let's do.
- Here's your coffee, Riley.
- Thank you.
- Whoa, you hurt some
of your fingers lately?
- No, why do you ask?
- Though a particular reason,
there are fingernails on your table.
- This is a bone in my chili.
- Riley, it's a fingernail.
- Oh my God.
No.
Jesus, God Almighty.
There's more in my chili.
- Deep breath, Riley.
- There's more in refrigerator.
- I'm calling, Bedford.
- Oh, God.
- Gentlemen, sheriff.
- Jeb, as you know we got a
problem in this here, town.
Just trying to get it handled.
- But I kind of figured something's up,
when I seen you walk in all official act.
- It's detective Johnson, Barry County.
Come here to help me
figure this thing out.
- You mind if I have
asked you a few questions?
- Go ahead, detective.
- No need for formalities,
just call me Wyatt.
- All right, Wyatt, what can I do you for?
- Seem to be some missing
folk around here lately.
- Well, you know small
towns, small habits.
People come and go all the time,
and don't say nothing to nobody.
- Lucy, seemed to vanish
a couple weeks back.
No one knows where she's at.
- Well, Miss Lucy,
she takes off on some wild
adventure every couple weeks.
And just about the time we start to pack,
she shows right back up all cleaned up,
like she usually, doesn't it?
- That's right, that's true.
- Emogene, Jackson's sister
magically disappeared shortly after.
Nobody knows where she's
at, not even her brother.
- Well, he don't know,
how the hell am I supposed to know?
I mean, I'm just a butcher.
- Well, Billy just mowed her yard,
somehow she vanished.
- Oh, why don't you call Billy?
- I did call Billy.
He don't know nothing about nothing.
Jeb, please, will you help us out here?
We're just trying to get to
the bottom of this thing.
- It's all good, it's all good.
Look if I hear something,
I'll be sure to give you fellows a call.
All right?
- Whoa, stop.
I ain't done yet.
- Okay.
- Jackson, been missing a week.
- Well, Jackson goes out
of town every two weeks
to go get more inventory
for his crappy car lot.
Have you tried calling him?
- Yeah.
Can't get a hold of him.
No return call.
It just ain't like him.
- Yeah, then it ain't like him.
- One last question.
- Okay, well look guys, I
got customers coming in.
I gotta get behind the counter.
- Wilma.
- Wilma?
(laughs)
Dude she is piss off now.
- Oh buddy apparently she's been missing
since this morning.
- I wouldn't quite call it missing.
Blind Riley is really upset.
- Well, let me tell you
something about Wilma.
Wilma has been pissing
off people in this town
for close on 30 years now.
So it would surprise me
if she got under somebody's skirt
and they finally did something to her.
You know what I mean?
- This is no laughing matter.
We have four missing persons here.
- Whoa, whoa, wait a minute, now.
I didn't mean it like
that, I hope she's okay.
- What was your last encounter?
- Well, a couple days ago,
when she came in for some
fresh ground for her and Riley.
- Blind Riley?
- (indistinct) Riley.
- Thanks for your time, Jeb.
- Let's go chat with Blind Riley.
- All right.
Hey, listen.
Can I get you packed?
- No, we good, we good.
We'll talk with you later.
- Okay, talk with you later.
(phone siren blaring)
Busy phone day, huh?
- Hey Caleb, what's up?
- Bedford you gotta get out to Riley's,
there's some weird shit going down.
You gotta see this.
- Well, just so happens,
detective and I are on our way out there.
- Okay, I'll see you
when you get out here.
- All right, thank you.
(tense music)
- Looked at the window of Jackson's car
and saw a cell phone on the seat.
Yeah, I saw that.
Detective Johnson's out
there having a look around.
(tense music)
- I'll be damned.
- What?
- A fingernail, Riley.
- I think it's time we pay
them Rakestraws a visit.
- I'm gonna get my gun out of the car.
- I got my double barrel betsy.
- You ain't going nowhere, Riley.
You're blind.
You know that, right?
- But you're not leaving
me here by myself.
- Guess he's got a point.
- All right.
Alrighty then, let's step outside
and see what detective Johnson has got.
- Hey, Jeb?
Don't supposed to see Wilma around?
- No, not really.
- With that brother of yours
I was driving like a maniac.
- Oh, you know Billy.
He's always in the rush to go someplace.
Seriously you need to leave,
I got a lot of cleaning
up to do around here.
- Well, Wilma seems to think
you might have something to do with
Miss Lucy and Emogene disappearance.
- Wilma, town's busy body.
Not no more.
- What was that?
- Oh honey, I just said, I got a lot.
Oh, Jeb, (gasps) is
that blood on your neck?
- Oh yeah.
I cut off my fingers.
And I'm just cleaning that up, yeah.
- Ensuring you walk to.
(both chuckling)
- Grab that, okay?
- You need to (indistinct).
- It's chilly in here.
- Sure is.
(woman screaming)
They're looking at me.
- No, baby, it's just sheep's eyeball.
It's just the sheep's eyeball.
You know what Billy
loves to pickle and all.
(woman screaming)
Oh my God.
Oh honey, don't worry.
It's just sheep's blood.
It will be okay.
It's all right.
It's just sheep blood.
Gonna wash hand, right now, honey.
I promise you.
I'll tell you what?
Why don't you go clean up
and I'll get a couple steak.
You meet me up at Billy's
about nine o'clock,
and I'll make us nice barbecue, okay?
- Okay.
- All right, baby.
You could run a long now.
(axe thuds)
(Billy laughing)
- Good bye, little Wilma.
(eerie music)
- Jeb, I need you up here
to help me put them parts in the shredder.
- Billy, you need to
finish chopping up Wilma,
and go bury her on the property.
- [Billy] Are you crazy?
We need to sell this shit off.
- We can't do that this time,
Billy, Thelma-lou is there.
I think the jig is up.
- [Billy] What do you mean the jig is up?
- I think they know.
Look, Thelma-lou is
coming up to the property
at nine o'clock.
I'm bringing up a couple steak,
we're gonna have a barbecue.
You need to get rid of Wilma.
- [Billy] Goddamit, Jeb.
What the hell are you thinking
bringing her off here?
- Billy, I'm trying to make
her think everything is okay.
- [Billy] Yeah.
And what if she doesn't ride on it?
- Really?
She's about as dumb as you are.
- [Billy] (laughs) Oh yeah.
I see you're fine.
- All right.
Now look, you got a couple hours.
You need to finish chopping her up,
bury her on the property
and get yourself cleaned up.
- [Billy] All right.
- All right, bye.
Oh, geez.
(car engine purring)
(upbeat music)
- All right, Riley, watch your step.
Let's get you in there and
get that seatbelt fastened.
(tense music)
- Is that really a good idea?
- He'll never get out of the truck.
- I'll keep close.
- Okay.
(car door slams)
- Well, fellas may not
look like (indistinct)
but we get a job to do.
Time to hunt some bear.
- Let's do this.
(gentle ominous music)
- [Billy] At one time I
wanted a piece of you,
now I got all your pieces.
(radio buzzing)
(gentle ominous music)
(Thelma screams)
(glass spatters)
(eerie music)
- Jeb, Jeb, is that you?
(Thelma screaming)
- [Billy] Thelma!
(Thelma screaming)
Thelma!
(Thelma screaming)
Thelma!
(Thelma sobbing)
Thelma!
You are only making it hard on yourself.
(Thelma sobbing)
Thelma!
Come out, come out wherever you are.
(eerie music)
Thelma!
Come out, come out wherever you are.
(eerie music)
(body thuds)
(Thelma screaming)
Thelma!
Oh, Thelma!
(Thelma screaming)
Come on, Thelma.
(Thelma screaming)
- What the hell's going on?
- I'm so glad it's you, Jeb.
It's Billy.
He is got an axe, he is trying to kill me.
- No, it can't be Billy.
Billy knows you're my
girl, he would not do that.
- There's a body in the woods.
- A body?
Oh for goodness.
Come on, let's get to the bar.
(Thelma sobbing)
- Thelma-lou, I was just kidding.
You know, it's safe to come on out.
If you don't come out,
I'm gonna huff and buff
and chop my way in.
- [Jeb] Billy!
- Jeb.
Thank God, is Thelma-lou
in there with you?
- [Jeb] Of course, she's in
here with me, you dumb ass.
I mean she says you
are out crazy and shit.
- I ain't crazy.
Now open up the door, you know
we got business to tend to.
- [Jeb] I don't know what
the hell kind of business
you're talking about.
You just need to calm the fuck down.
- Jeb, what are you going on about?
You know what I'm talking about.
Now open the door, we got business.
- [Jeb] Listen, Billy,
we ain't coming out until you calm down.
- Son of a bitch, open the goddamn door.
(siren blaring)
- Billy, there's no need
for any more killing.
- One for Jackson.
- Now put your hands up
and turn and face the wall.
- One for Lucy.
- Billy drop the axe.
- [Billy] I ain't going to jail.
- Let me kill him, Bedford.
- Are you clowns crazy?
- Riley, hold that trigger finger
and point that thing
in the right direction.
- Look, the old ranger in the blind scout.
- [Jeb] He killed grandma.
- You son of a bitch.
- Billy, do what detective
Johnson tells you.
- Go to hell.
One for Emogene.
- I need to get inside that building.
- Ain't gonna happen.
He's got the door blocked.
- Don't see an easy way out of this one.
- Look, the blind leading the blind.
- Riley, no.
- You bustard, you killed my Wilma.
(gun fires)
- [Caleb] Shit, Riley!
- I don't think I'm gonna be talking
many more lawns, Jeb.
- Detective Johnson.
- Thank you, right Riley.
- [Sheriff] We need an ambulance.
- [Lady] We have a 1052
shotgun wound to the chest.
- [Man] Ambulance en-route.
- [Lady] Roger.
- Why you cuffing him?
He saved my life.
He is an accessory to a crime,
he's going to do some time.
- No.
- Don't worry, I'll speak up for him.
- He won't be very long.
- You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say
can and will be used against
you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney,
one will be appointed...
(machine trilling)
- What the hell am I supposed to do now?
- I don't give a shit.
- Really?
- You got off easy Rakestraw.
If it were up to me, you'd be a dead man.
- Got 11 crocked judges.
Say, where'd you get
picked up out here now.
- That way.
- Great.
(gentle music)
- Now you see, Billy,
this is where they took
out that chunk of trapping
on your brain from your accident.
So your brain's gonna be a little fuzzy,
your memory might not
come back right away,
but it will come back to you eventually.
I sure do like that doll a lot.
- Yeah, I do.
That's my Miss Lucy.
- Miss Lucy, huh?
- I love my Miss Lucy.
- At least you're taking
care of her, I guess.
Gives you something to
do while you're in here.
You'll get better though.
- You think?
Jim Bob Schwarzenegger.
- Oh, my name tag.
We don't talk about that much.
Mama used to clean houses for
old Arnold back in the day,
but we don't...
Let's change the subject.
Let's talk about Miss
Lucy some more, okay?
- Oh, I love Miss Lucy.
Do you wanna see Miss Lucy?
- Oh, I don't know.
How long you had this thing...
And what's that smell?
(gentle uplifting music)
- Hey baby.
- [Thelma] Hey baby.
- Thanks for picking me up.
- Always thought you was (indistinct).
- Yeah.
- What are you gonna do
now that you are out?
- The only thing I know
how baby, butchering.
(both laughs)
(eerie music)
(tire screeching)
- [Billy] Shit!
(man sighs)
- Hey baby, let me take a look.
- All right.
Here it comes.
Surprise!
- Sexy as always.
(kiss smooching)
- You know, baby,
we can't let that body sit in
that freezer too much longer.
You know it's been there three weeks.
- I know, but what are
we gonna do with it?
- Well, the way I figured,
we go on the road and
get us a Roach coach.
And Billy, we have to get
Billy out the center county.
- Whatever you want, sexy.
- I figured you'd go along over there.
Let's go kiss Billy.
(both laughing)
- Whoa!
What you got there, Billy Ray?
- I got some shiny shit.
- Oh, they gave you a coin, did they?
I guess you can't cause
too much damage with that.
No, don't put it in your mouth.
It going to break a tooth.
I got some good news for you.
- You got news for me?
- That's right.
You know your brother Jeb got
out of jail not too long ago.
- Jeb, Jeb, he's my brother?
- That's right.
That's right.
He's thinking about redoing the business,
taking it on the road.
He's gonna need your help.
Oh yes.
- Jeb's (laughs) gonna need my help?
- That's right.
- Did you hear that, Miss Lucy?
Jeb's gonna need my help.
Son of a bitch.
- Oh man.
This is gonna be bad, but
we're gonna get you outta here.
Okay?
- Okay.
- Oh, yeah.
(gentle somber music)
In down to a place I
used to call my home
Friends are gone
They knew the way they
must have traveled on
Trees to green no shoes to blue
I must have lost my head
When I stepped into that bar
Stepped in hell again
Blue has been the seven
bright (indistinct)
Skies are bright the beach is white
I knew no other way
Air was blowing amuse my all
I must have lost my head
At the age of seventeen
- How long you had this thing...
What is that smell?
(both laughing)
Sorry.
Left with my first broken heart
Left with a new place to start
Engineer
Been away 10 years and
so time flies so easily
Lies were good but winds to
go that's waiting out for me
Each fun and lost of fun
and each for running now
If she hangs around with
me gonna matter any how
'Cause you took my first breadth away
You took my song better the same
Left with my first broken heart
Left with my new place
to start, engineer
(upbeat music)
