Outsiders (2016) s01e05 Episode Script
Demolition
1 Previously on "Outsiders" It seems that Deputy Houghton is under a lot of stress.
Oxycontin, isn't it? You be sober tomorrow, because I am gonna take you by the hand and lead you up that hill.
This is ridiculous, the crap I gotta put up with.
- [Click.]
- Aah! [Grunting.]
Damn it! Shit! - Boss - Uhh! Aah! - [Slices.]
- Ugh! Them Farrells, they don't own that land they live on.
I just gotta wonder why we gotta play by the rules and them Farrells don't.
- Do you love him? - I do.
[Hacking cough.]
[Inhales deeply.]
How long I been away? - 13 days.
- Aah! I know what you did.
It's called a drone.
Well, they can program these things to fly up here and take pictures.
Can you fix it? I can, but I understand you folks, you don't deal in cash.
[Dog barking in distance.]
[Snipping.]
[Snips.]
[Breathing nervously.]
- No, no, don't - You don't need to see the rest.
Well, gee, it was just gettin' good.
Excuse me.
This is funny to you? I wouldn't say funny.
Revealing, more than anything.
Damn it, Haylie! My family and my privacy has been invaded.
And? And what are you gonna do about it? It's not what we're gonna do about it, Ned.
It's what you're gonna do about it, which would be to grow a pair.
This is not a business for little girls.
'Cause it's not a business.
It's a war.
But as with any war, the eventual victor's gonna take some damage along the way.
Your cherished privacy, for example.
And if that's too big of a sacrifice for you, I suggest you pull up your skirt and run along.
Wait a minute.
You're not gonna help me? This is of no interest to you? Oh, I am interested.
I would love to know who did this.
Well, it has to be the Farrells.
I mean, we lost the drone up there.
They found it and did this.
Yes, Ned, they're known for their technical aptitude.
These people shit outdoors.
You really think they'd be able to operate that thing without a controller? I didn't think about that.
So then who was it? I have no idea.
But they're smart.
You don't find that so much around here.
Doesn't matter.
I like a challenge.
[Indistinct conversations.]
I don't know who made this coffee, but it's better when you start off with water instead of piss.
- [Laughter.]
- It's goddamn foul.
I hope your woman made you something to eat.
There ain't hardly nothing left here but shadows.
She ain't gonna be my woman that much longer.
She gonna be my wife.
[Man chuckles.]
[Murmuring.]
Ged-gedyah.
What you gotta say about that? Well, I say it ain't right that a man starts the day out drunk.
You wanna talk nonsense, you go tell the trees.
[Scattered laughs.]
Go on, laugh it up.
Y'all gonna see me running the gauntlet on my wedding day.
When's this happening? Don't know.
Soon.
Uh-huh.
W-we got things to do, see Lady Ray and get blessings.
- Why now? - How's that? Well, why do you think she wants to marry up now? All the years you share a bed, all the times you asked, she said no.
What changed? Why you doing this? I'm just speculatin'.
Why can't you give me congratulations? You're the first person I come to see, and you just start twistin' it.
See how you feel when I stop comin' round you no more.
Son.
Hey.
Hey, son! I'm sorry.
Come here.
I am proud of you, son.
She is a fine, fine woman.
You just you treat her right, 'cause I don't wanna see you losing her to some other man.
[Indistinct conversations.]
Whoo! Looks like somebody got themselves a job! - Who'd you blow, Breece? - Yeah.
- Can I help you? - [Sighs.]
Hope so.
Um, my name is Breece Dobbs.
I'm supposed to be starting work here today.
- I'm the community liaison.
- Mm.
Um, is Miss Grimes available? She should be back soon.
Would you mind waiting? Sure.
[Distant telephone ringing.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
Knock, knock.
Nice uniform.
Oh, yeah? You like this? I do.
It was Tom Weineke's funeral this morning.
I know.
I called Mrs.
Weineke last night to pass along my condolences.
Such a terrible story.
It's just awful.
Well, this is just a little something.
The usual snacks, pretzels, chips.
Mm-hmm.
I really enjoyed working with Tom.
Hopefully you and I can work together to make sure that progress continues without any further delays.
You could've just said that with so much less words, couldn't you? I mean, like, "here's a basket of shit.
Now do what I tell you.
" [Chuckles.]
You have a better sense of humor than Tom did, that's for sure.
Yeah, I mean, I think it was you who killed him, when all is said and done.
You and your bosses.
You drove him up that mountain.
You pushed and you provoked him till it cost him his life.
Well, I obviously shouldn't have come today.
It's an emotional morning, I'm sure.
Heard the happy news.
Thought perhaps you might've told me in person.
Maybe the last time we made love.
I mean, that would've been a good time.
Is that what was on your mind? Making love? Well, you know me, G'win.
I'm a romantic.
Always have been, ever since we were first together.
I can't believe you're actually doing this.
- Doing what? - Making a huge mistake.
Yeah, any woman don't wanna end up with the great Asa Farrell, of course she's making a mistake.
You got such a high view of yourself.
It's why you run off 10 years ago.
You're too special for this place and these people.
The world's bigger than this mountain, G'win.
You know that.
You're too special for me.
Wake up to yourself, Asa.
You're not special.
- You're just a man.
- Okay, I got it.
And I just wanna say from the bottom of my heart that I am so sorry.
For what? For leaving, because I had no idea these were the depths to which I had screwed you up.
I spent the last 10 years thinking back, about how wonderful it was when our our bodies came together.
And then you returned, and our bodies came together again.
And [inhales deeply.]
It wasn't that great.
See, Lil Foster, he pleases me so much better.
Okay.
See you again soon.
Maybe on your weddin' night.
Hmm? the dawn is up, there's fire on the mountain they'll have to answer for their crooked plan the hollows will surround them and they'll go runnin' back to the wretched realm they came nor will the dogs of hell refrain and the land will suffer those who paid What are you doin' here? [Scoffs.]
What's it look like? It's a little early in the day for shine, for you, ain't it? Oh, he says, pouring himself a drink.
I said it was early for you, lostie.
[Pours liquor.]
I got an idea, Foster.
[Clears throat.]
How about I propose a little toast? To Lady Ray's continuing good health.
That's a right beautiful thought.
- [Glasses clink.]
- Ged-gedyah.
Ged-gedyah.
Hey How about you and me We play us a little game? Oh, forgive me, Foster, but I don't much relish the thought of doing anything with you that involves knives.
I ain't gonna hurt you, cousin.
I just wanna play.
Come on then.
My children, our family's traditions are clear only death releases you from your marital obligations.
Are you both in acceptance? - Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.
But tell me now, both of you Why do you wish to marry? Well, ma'am, I There hasn't been a day in the last 10 years that I haven't thought about it, wanted it.
She's my life.
10 year a long duration make a man wait.
Why couldn't you make your agree sooner? Don't know.
My mind was clouded, I guess, by Past events.
The loss of your baby? Yes, ma'am.
But my mind is clear now.
I look at him, and I see A-a good, steady, caring, honest man.
A man I want for my husband.
[Kisses hand.]
Let's see Aw.
Looks like I got that round.
No, look, that's my second throw.
It's closest to the red.
All right, I stand corrected.
[Exhales sharply.]
Ooh.
Ooh.
[Inhales sharply.]
Oh, I better start doing some throwin' or I'll throw my breakfast.
[Laughs.]
Okay, now that was funny.
You just shut your mouth and throw, lostie.
- [Grunts.]
- Ah You, uh, you hear my boy's gettin' married? In the black, son.
You take another drink.
- [Exhales.]
- Yeah, that G'win.
I gotta say, I always thought she'd end up with somebody else.
Oh, in the black again.
It's not a good round for you at all.
[Chuckles.]
[Panting.]
[Glass thuds.]
Yeah, G'win.
She knows a good man from one who ain't so good.
Could you, uh, stop talking, please? - I'm trying to concentrate.
- I ain't talkin'.
I'm thinking out loud.
Go on.
Beat that.
- Yeah.
- Ooh.
Now, uh What you think about them gettin' married? Oh, it's none of my concern.
I thought that you might have an opinion on the matter.
You thought wrong.
Well, looks like you won again.
Why don't you fetch them knives? [Glass thuds.]
Sorry, cousin.
Appears I had one more.
All right, thanks.
[Door bell jingles.]
- Hey.
- What do you want? Well, I, uh [chuckles.]
Wanna apologize about our our date.
I got in a little bit of trouble there.
You mad? It's not the first time I've been stood up.
Won't be the last.
Not really sure what that means, but Don't worry about it.
Gotta get home.
Come on.
You ain't you ain't gonna let me apologize? Got me a good one worked out.
Had a long time to think about it.
Could you just leave me alone? Why would I do that? It's not gonna work, Hasil.
We're too different.
What you mean? Come on, we're both people.
I mean, sure, you're a woman, I'm a man.
But that sort of helps the situation, don't it? Except I live in the real world, and you live up there.
I'm black, and you are weird.
Just go away.
Look, can I at least give you this? What is it? Well made you a present, 'cause to be honest with you, I kinda knew my apology wasn't gonna be that good.
Come on, please? Careful with it.
It might [Clears throat.]
[Chuckles.]
It's a bear.
You know, bears are they're strong and they're fierce Just like my caring for you.
It's beautiful.
Well, I'm glad you like it, because it took me Took me a long time to make.
What's wrong? Nothin'.
You in trouble with the law? [Chuckles.]
Well, to be honest with you, I'm not really supposed to Be down here.
'Cause of your people or mine? [Laughs.]
Both.
I know a place that we can go.
Foster, can I ask you a question? Ask.
What the hell happened to you? When I was a kid Well, all us kids, we looked up to you.
I mean, you were funny.
You were big and strong and vital.
Now you're just big and drunk.
Well, I'm big.
And at the moment, I'm pretty darn drunk.
But I'm something else.
I'm something you'll never be loyal to my family, to our way of life.
So you say whatever you like about me, all right? I don't hear your words 'cause you drifted away.
And now you drifted on back.
No, you ain't nothin' but a breeze, son.
- [Laughs.]
- And not much more.
[Exhales.]
Well [Clears throat.]
Well, then I tell you what.
- This breeze - Uh-huh? Is about to kick some coal miners' ass.
Oh.
- Come on.
- What? Come on, get up, you big, drunk lump.

Well, how about I'll stop what I'm doing soon as you stop what you're doing? What the hell am I doing? You're trying to take what's rightfully mine.
I didn't wander off like you.
I stayed.
I was here.
I wasn't looking at television.
I wasn't sleeping in some soft bed full of lostie pussy.
- [Laughs.]
- This is my mountain.
All right, this is my family! All right? I'm gonna lead 'em, goddamn it, not you! Foster, I'm not trying to take what's yours.
I'm just trying to stop these outsiders before there's nothing left for any of us to claim.
[Groans.]
All right.
I know what you are trying to do.
[Scoffs.]
Foster ah, goddamn here you go.
Foster! [Both panting, moaning.]
[Laughs.]
All right.
[Sighs.]
Was it fine? [Laughs.]

I did not see it happening here the first time.
[Giggles and sighs.]
I thought maybe it'd be under like a big tree.
[Sighs.]
Stars shining.
[Both laugh.]
Hey.
What's the matter? You okay? - Yeah.
- Hey.
I do something? Mnh-mnh.
Just happy.
Okay.

- Hey, don't run off.
Come on, we gotta maybe try this again.
Hasil, I have to go home.
You love Lil Foster? You know I do.
Yes, but does he have your love full and complete? Of course, Lady Ray.
[Chuckles.]
Oh, child, I do adore you.
Thing I fond to most is how pure your spirit be.
Done so little lying in your life, don't know how to do it proper at all.
Lil Foster, he is steady and sure and as cozy as a blanket.
Can't ever be excitin' or new or unknown Unlike other options.
[Chuckles.]
There are no other options.
Oh, stop it, you.
Don't insult me.
I may be close to the grave, but I'm still a woman.
I can see love for a man in the face of another of my gender.
[Exhales sharply.]
I see him across the way, I hear him talk My heart beats like I think everyone on the mountain can hear.
I wanna tear it out of my chest for making me a fool.
I want him, but he'll hurt me.
He'll leave again.
I know it.
But I still love him.
And I hate myself for that.
Lil Foster my own grandson.
Big as a house, but there ain't a more sweet soul among us.
His pa ain't beat the gentle out of him.
Heaven only knows he done tried.
But you hurt him, G'win, he'll dry up and blow away.
- [TV playing indistinctly.]
- [Lock clicks, keys rattle.]
- [Keys rattle.]
- Where you been, baby girl? I went to Naomi's after work.
- You was at Naomi's? - Yes, sir.
Was the white boy there with you? What white boy? Pastor King called, said he saw you walking with some white boy.
Must've been somebody else.
Hey.
You lying to me? No, sir.
Then you're saying Pastor King's a liar? Saying he's mistaken is all.
[Chuckles nervously.]
He better be.
This is unacceptable, Ned.
Completely goddamn unacceptable! Don't think I've ever heard you swear, Ms.
Grimes.
Well, then I don't think you've been listening.
- How bad's the damage? - There is nothing but damage.
I'm standing here lookin at half a million dollars' worth of scrap.
- Did you talk to the guard? - They'd already taken him to the hospital by the time I got here.
If he knows what's good for him, he will die there.
I'll call Des Miller, tell him we need new machinery.
And we need it now.
We're not gonna let it slow us down.
- Should I call the police? - No, they're useless.
The new Sheriff's an oxy freak.
You know what? We're gonna handle this one on our own.
Ohh, my sainted mother.
Oh, my poor head's banging like heaven and earth come crashing into each other.
Morning, lovebirds.
Y'all married yet? You'll be the first to know, big Foster.
I promise.
Well, I certainly hope so, seeing as I'm gonna be your beloved father-in-law.
How about the two of you choose a celebration day right now? Yeah, I think your kin here would be very excited about that news.
Wouldn't that be some excitement? How about you think on your own life - and leave ours to us? - Come on, Lil Foster.
Tell us the weddin' day! Sure help to get me thinking it's actually gonna happen.
- Yeah.
- Whoa! [Laughs.]
You ready? I suppose we should get on home.
Oh, unless you got something you wanna say.
[Chuckles.]
Oh, no, ma'am.
Guess we'll be running along then.
Oh, no.
Oh, come on, you two.
Hey, we was only larkin'.
[Chuckles.]
Ohh Oh, damn.
[Sighs.]
Oh, somebody look, see the top of my head ain't come off.
Got into that jug good last night, didn't ya? Me and Asa, we had us a time.
You and Asa? Mm-hmm.
Oh, we played us some red and black.
And then we did us some drinking, then we hied on down that mountain and we smashed up a couple of them coal company machines.
- Well, how'd you do that? - We started 'em up, and bang! Ooh, you ain't never heard such a noise.
[Coughs.]
I like the sound of that.
I'm gonna go puke in the bushes.
Save me some of that hash.
Hey, cuz, I got me an idea.

So you'll give me the three cameras and the motion-activated lighting, front and back? Yes, sir.
And like I said, I'm giving you the best price I can get you.
When will the guard be here? Well, you won't need him once we get you all tricked out.
But I understand.
It's better safe than sorry.
He'll be here in about an hour.
Frank's a good man.
- Thank you.
- You can rest easy, Mr.
Osborn.
By the time we're done, anybody comes within 50 feet of this place, you're gonna know.
[Clears throat.]
Oh, is that for me? No.
Uh, Haylie Grimes here? She's on the phone, but I'll let her know you're here.
[Pushing buttons.]
Yes, the Sheriff is here.
All right, I sure will.

She'll be right with you.
Have a seat.
[Sighs.]
- Breece.
- Hey, Wade.
- How's Ledda? - Good.
- Caleb good? - Yeah, for the main.
So, uh What's the job you're doing? I'm community liaison.
What does that entail? Just Being a liaison between the coal company and folks in town.
What does that entail? I hear you're the head honcho up at headquarters now.
Sad to say so.
What does that entail? How you mean? Looks like it mainly entails delivering gift baskets.
- Or is that evidence? - [Phone rings.]
Like somebody stole it and you recovered it? [Receiver thuds.]
Miss Grimes says you can go on in.
[Sighs.]
- It's good to see you, Wade.
- Oh, yeah.
[Door opens.]
[Sighs deeply.]
So, um Thank you for the offer, but, uh, we can't accept gifts from the public or, um, strangers.
I understand, Sheriff.
You're new to the job.
You wanna do everything by the book.
Sure.
Uh, I'm just gonna leave that there.
Is everything still in here? No, ma'am.
I I ate them butter cookies.

Just so you know, Sheriff, we had some trouble at our construction site the other night.
Two of our vehicles were heavily vandalized.
Okay.

Oh, no, we'll handle it.
You have other things to deal with.
I know how overwhelmed you are.
Think you're pretty smart.
- What? - You're pretty smart.
Went to college, got your education, sitting behind your desk.
You think you know me.
Well, yes, I do.
You think you know what's up on that mountain, too.
But let me tell you something.
You don't know a goddamn thing.
Because if you knew what was up there, you wouldn't be chasing after it.
You would be running as far as you could possibly go in the opposite direction.
But you go on.
Keep looking.
You'll find out.

Revealing, more than anything.
Damn it, Haylie! My family and my privacy has been invaded.
And? And what are you gonna do about it? It's not what we're gonna do about it, Ned.
It's what you're gonna do about it, which would be to grow a pair.
This is not a business for little girls.
'Cause it's not a business.
It's a war.
But as with any war, the eventual victor's gonna take some damage along the way.
Your cherished privacy, for example.
And if that's too big of a sacrifice for you, I suggest you pull up your skirt and run along.
Wait a minute.
You're not gonna help me? This is of no interest to you? Oh, I am interested.
I would love to know who did this.
Well, it has to be the Farrells.
I mean, we lost the drone up there.
They found it and did this.
Yes, Ned, they're known for their technical aptitude.
These people shit outdoors.
You really think they'd be able to operate that thing without a controller? I didn't think about that.
So then who was it? I have no idea.
But they're smart.
You don't find that so much around here.
Doesn't matter.
I like a challenge.
[Indistinct conversations.]
I don't know who made this coffee, but it's better when you start off with water instead of piss.
- [Laughter.]
- It's goddamn foul.
I hope your woman made you something to eat.
There ain't hardly nothing left here but shadows.
She ain't gonna be my woman that much longer.
She gonna be my wife.
[Man chuckles.]
[Murmuring.]
Ged-gedyah.
What you gotta say about that? Well, I say it ain't right that a man starts the day out drunk.
You wanna talk nonsense, you go tell the trees.
[Scattered laughs.]
Go on, laugh it up.
Y'all gonna see me running the gauntlet on my wedding day.
When's this happening? Don't know.
Soon.
Uh-huh.
W-we got things to do, see Lady Ray and get blessings.
- Why now? - How's that? Well, why do you think she wants to marry up now? All the years you share a bed, all the times you asked, she said no.
What changed? Why you doing this? I'm just speculatin'.
Why can't you give me congratulations? You're the first person I come to see, and you just start twistin' it.
See how you feel when I stop comin' round you no more.
Son.
Hey.
Hey, son! I'm sorry.
Come here.
I am proud of you, son.
She is a fine, fine woman.
You just you treat her right, 'cause I don't wanna see you losing her to some other man.
[Indistinct conversations.]
Whoo! Looks like somebody got themselves a job! - Who'd you blow, Breece? - Yeah.
- Can I help you? - [Sighs.]
Hope so.
Um, my name is Breece Dobbs.
I'm supposed to be starting work here today.
- I'm the community liaison.
- Mm.
Um, is Miss Grimes available? She should be back soon.
Would you mind waiting? Sure.
[Distant telephone ringing.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
Knock, knock.
Nice uniform.
Oh, yeah? You like this? I do.
It was Tom Weineke's funeral this morning.
I know.
I called Mrs.
Weineke last night to pass along my condolences.
Such a terrible story.
It's just awful.
Well, this is just a little something.
The usual snacks, pretzels, chips.
Mm-hmm.
I really enjoyed working with Tom.
Hopefully you and I can work together to make sure that progress continues without any further delays.
You could've just said that with so much less words, couldn't you? I mean, like, "here's a basket of shit.
Now do what I tell you.
" [Chuckles.]
You have a better sense of humor than Tom did, that's for sure.
Yeah, I mean, I think it was you who killed him, when all is said and done.
You and your bosses.
You drove him up that mountain.
You pushed and you provoked him till it cost him his life.
Well, I obviously shouldn't have come today.
It's an emotional morning, I'm sure.
Heard the happy news.
Thought perhaps you might've told me in person.
Maybe the last time we made love.
I mean, that would've been a good time.
Is that what was on your mind? Making love? Well, you know me, G'win.
I'm a romantic.
Always have been, ever since we were first together.
I can't believe you're actually doing this.
- Doing what? - Making a huge mistake.
Yeah, any woman don't wanna end up with the great Asa Farrell, of course she's making a mistake.
You got such a high view of yourself.
It's why you run off 10 years ago.
You're too special for this place and these people.
The world's bigger than this mountain, G'win.
You know that.
You're too special for me.
Wake up to yourself, Asa.
You're not special.
- You're just a man.
- Okay, I got it.
And I just wanna say from the bottom of my heart that I am so sorry.
For what? For leaving, because I had no idea these were the depths to which I had screwed you up.
I spent the last 10 years thinking back, about how wonderful it was when our our bodies came together.
And then you returned, and our bodies came together again.
And [inhales deeply.]
It wasn't that great.
See, Lil Foster, he pleases me so much better.
Okay.
See you again soon.
Maybe on your weddin' night.
Hmm? the dawn is up, there's fire on the mountain they'll have to answer for their crooked plan the hollows will surround them and they'll go runnin' back to the wretched realm they came nor will the dogs of hell refrain and the land will suffer those who paid What are you doin' here? [Scoffs.]
What's it look like? It's a little early in the day for shine, for you, ain't it? Oh, he says, pouring himself a drink.
I said it was early for you, lostie.
[Pours liquor.]
I got an idea, Foster.
[Clears throat.]
How about I propose a little toast? To Lady Ray's continuing good health.
That's a right beautiful thought.
- [Glasses clink.]
- Ged-gedyah.
Ged-gedyah.
Hey How about you and me We play us a little game? Oh, forgive me, Foster, but I don't much relish the thought of doing anything with you that involves knives.
I ain't gonna hurt you, cousin.
I just wanna play.
Come on then.
My children, our family's traditions are clear only death releases you from your marital obligations.
Are you both in acceptance? - Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.
But tell me now, both of you Why do you wish to marry? Well, ma'am, I There hasn't been a day in the last 10 years that I haven't thought about it, wanted it.
She's my life.
10 year a long duration make a man wait.
Why couldn't you make your agree sooner? Don't know.
My mind was clouded, I guess, by Past events.
The loss of your baby? Yes, ma'am.
But my mind is clear now.
I look at him, and I see A-a good, steady, caring, honest man.
A man I want for my husband.
[Kisses hand.]
Let's see Aw.
Looks like I got that round.
No, look, that's my second throw.
It's closest to the red.
All right, I stand corrected.
[Exhales sharply.]
Ooh.
Ooh.
[Inhales sharply.]
Oh, I better start doing some throwin' or I'll throw my breakfast.
[Laughs.]
Okay, now that was funny.
You just shut your mouth and throw, lostie.
- [Grunts.]
- Ah You, uh, you hear my boy's gettin' married? In the black, son.
You take another drink.
- [Exhales.]
- Yeah, that G'win.
I gotta say, I always thought she'd end up with somebody else.
Oh, in the black again.
It's not a good round for you at all.
[Chuckles.]
[Panting.]
[Glass thuds.]
Yeah, G'win.
She knows a good man from one who ain't so good.
Could you, uh, stop talking, please? - I'm trying to concentrate.
- I ain't talkin'.
I'm thinking out loud.
Go on.
Beat that.
- Yeah.
- Ooh.
Now, uh What you think about them gettin' married? Oh, it's none of my concern.
I thought that you might have an opinion on the matter.
You thought wrong.
Well, looks like you won again.
Why don't you fetch them knives? [Glass thuds.]
Sorry, cousin.
Appears I had one more.
All right, thanks.
[Door bell jingles.]
- Hey.
- What do you want? Well, I, uh [chuckles.]
Wanna apologize about our our date.
I got in a little bit of trouble there.
You mad? It's not the first time I've been stood up.
Won't be the last.
Not really sure what that means, but Don't worry about it.
Gotta get home.
Come on.
You ain't you ain't gonna let me apologize? Got me a good one worked out.
Had a long time to think about it.
Could you just leave me alone? Why would I do that? It's not gonna work, Hasil.
We're too different.
What you mean? Come on, we're both people.
I mean, sure, you're a woman, I'm a man.
But that sort of helps the situation, don't it? Except I live in the real world, and you live up there.
I'm black, and you are weird.
Just go away.
Look, can I at least give you this? What is it? Well made you a present, 'cause to be honest with you, I kinda knew my apology wasn't gonna be that good.
Come on, please? Careful with it.
It might [Clears throat.]
[Chuckles.]
It's a bear.
You know, bears are they're strong and they're fierce Just like my caring for you.
It's beautiful.
Well, I'm glad you like it, because it took me Took me a long time to make.
What's wrong? Nothin'.
You in trouble with the law? [Chuckles.]
Well, to be honest with you, I'm not really supposed to Be down here.
'Cause of your people or mine? [Laughs.]
Both.
I know a place that we can go.
Foster, can I ask you a question? Ask.
What the hell happened to you? When I was a kid Well, all us kids, we looked up to you.
I mean, you were funny.
You were big and strong and vital.
Now you're just big and drunk.
Well, I'm big.
And at the moment, I'm pretty darn drunk.
But I'm something else.
I'm something you'll never be loyal to my family, to our way of life.
So you say whatever you like about me, all right? I don't hear your words 'cause you drifted away.
And now you drifted on back.
No, you ain't nothin' but a breeze, son.
- [Laughs.]
- And not much more.
[Exhales.]
Well [Clears throat.]
Well, then I tell you what.
- This breeze - Uh-huh? Is about to kick some coal miners' ass.
Oh.
- Come on.
- What? Come on, get up, you big, drunk lump.
You gonna come help me? Hmm? You're gonna stop them coal boys all by yourself, you dumb shit? Well, I don't know.
I might slow 'em down a little bit.
Come on.
Wait wait, wait, wait, wait.
Who lives here? Lady from my church.
[Chuckles.]
It's okay.
She's dead now.

[Laughs.]
Yep.
[Panting.]
No keys? Nope.

They're probably in the trailer.
But lucky for us - I brought the key.
- Uh-huh.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Stay close behind me.
Anyone shows up, you yell.
Okay? I will be right here.
Put your hands up, freak! - Foster! - Hands up now! Get back away from the door.
Get down on the ground with your arms in front of you.
I got orders to shoot! Now get down! - [Groans.]
- Coal company would probably prefer me shootin' you, but being a good christian man, I'm gonna give you [laughs.]
I gotta say, cousin, there is something so right about seeing you facedown in the dirt.
Wouldn't be the first time.

I never did.
That's all you been doin' ever since I came back.
Enough.
Well, how about I'll stop what I'm doing soon as you stop what you're doing? What the hell am I doing? You're trying to take what's rightfully mine.
I didn't wander off like you.
I stayed.
I was here.
I wasn't looking at television.
I wasn't sleeping in some soft bed full of lostie pussy.
- [Laughs.]
- This is my mountain.
All right, this is my family! All right? I'm gonna lead 'em, goddamn it, not you! Foster, I'm not trying to take what's yours.
I'm just trying to stop these outsiders before there's nothing left for any of us to claim.
[Groans.]
All right.
I know what you are trying to do.
[Scoffs.]
Foster ah, goddamn here you go.
Foster! [Both panting, moaning.]
[Laughs.]
All right.
[Sighs.]
Was it fine? [Laughs.]
[Sighs.]
I did not see it happening here the first time.
[Giggles and sighs.]
I thought maybe it'd be under like a big tree.
[Sighs.]
Stars shining.
[Both laugh.]
Hey.
What's the matter? You okay? - Yeah.
- Hey.
I do something? Mnh-mnh.
Just happy.
Okay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey.

- Hey, don't run off.
Come on, we gotta maybe try this again.
Hasil, I have to go home.
You love Lil Foster? You know I do.
Yes, but does he have your love full and complete? Of course, Lady Ray.
[Chuckles.]
Oh, child, I do adore you.
Thing I fond to most is how pure your spirit be.
Done so little lying in your life, don't know how to do it proper at all.
Lil Foster, he is steady and sure and as cozy as a blanket.
Can't ever be excitin' or new or unknown Unlike other options.
[Chuckles.]
There are no other options.
Oh, stop it, you.
Don't insult me.
I may be close to the grave, but I'm still a woman.
I can see love for a man in the face of another of my gender.
[Exhales sharply.]
I see him across the way, I hear him talk My heart beats like I think everyone on the mountain can hear.
I wanna tear it out of my chest for making me a fool.
I want him, but he'll hurt me.
He'll leave again.
I know it.
But I still love him.
And I hate myself for that.
Lil Foster my own grandson.
Big as a house, but there ain't a more sweet soul among us.
His pa ain't beat the gentle out of him.
Heaven only knows he done tried.
But you hurt him, G'win, he'll dry up and blow away.
- [TV playing indistinctly.]
- [Lock clicks, keys rattle.]
- [Keys rattle.]
- Where you been, baby girl? I went to Naomi's after work.
- You was at Naomi's? - Yes, sir.
Was the white boy there with you? What white boy? Pastor King called, said he saw you walking with some white boy.
Must've been somebody else.
Hey.
You lying to me? No, sir.
Then you're saying Pastor King's a liar? Saying he's mistaken is all.
[Chuckles nervously.]
He better be.
This is unacceptable, Ned.
Completely goddamn unacceptable! Don't think I've ever heard you swear, Ms.
Grimes.
Well, then I don't think you've been listening.
- How bad's the damage? - There is nothing but damage.
I'm standing here lookin at half a million dollars' worth of scrap.
- Did you talk to the guard? - They'd already taken him to the hospital by the time I got here.
If he knows what's good for him, he will die there.
I'll call Des Miller, tell him we need new machinery.
And we need it now.
We're not gonna let it slow us down.
- Should I call the police? - No, they're useless.
The new Sheriff's an oxy freak.
You know what? We're gonna handle this one on our own.
Ohh, my sainted mother.
Oh, my poor head's banging like heaven and earth come crashing into each other.
Morning, lovebirds.
Y'all married yet? You'll be the first to know, big Foster.
I promise.
Well, I certainly hope so, seeing as I'm gonna be your beloved father-in-law.
How about the two of you choose a celebration day right now? Yeah, I think your kin here would be very excited about that news.
Wouldn't that be some excitement? How about you think on your own life - and leave ours to us? - Come on, Lil Foster.
Tell us the weddin' day! Sure help to get me thinking it's actually gonna happen.
- Yeah.
- Whoa! [Laughs.]
You ready? I suppose we should get on home.
Oh, unless you got something you wanna say.
[Chuckles.]
Oh, no, ma'am.
Guess we'll be running along then.
Oh, no.
Oh, come on, you two.
Hey, we was only larkin'.
[Chuckles.]
Ohh Oh, damn.
[Sighs.]
Oh, somebody look, see the top of my head ain't come off.
Got into that jug good last night, didn't ya? Me and Asa, we had us a time.
You and Asa? Mm-hmm.
Oh, we played us some red and black.
And then we did us some drinking, then we hied on down that mountain and we smashed up a couple of them coal company machines.
- Well, how'd you do that? - We started 'em up, and bang! Ooh, you ain't never heard such a noise.
[Coughs.]
I like the sound of that.
I'm gonna go puke in the bushes.
Save me some of that hash.
Hey, cuz, I got me an idea.

It's all right.
Shh.
So you'll give me the three cameras and the motion-activated lighting, front and back? Yes, sir.
And like I said, I'm giving you the best price I can get you.
When will the guard be here? Well, you won't need him once we get you all tricked out.
But I understand.
It's better safe than sorry.
He'll be here in about an hour.
Frank's a good man.
- Thank you.
- You can rest easy, Mr.
Osborn.
By the time we're done, anybody comes within 50 feet of this place, you're gonna know.
[Clears throat.]
Oh, is that for me? No.
Uh, Haylie Grimes here? She's on the phone, but I'll let her know you're here.
[Pushing buttons.]
Yes, the Sheriff is here.
All right, I sure will.
[Hangs up receiver.]
She'll be right with you.
Have a seat.
[Sighs.]
- Breece.
- Hey, Wade.
- How's Ledda? - Good.
- Caleb good? - Yeah, for the main.
So, uh What's the job you're doing? I'm community liaison.
What does that entail? Just Being a liaison between the coal company and folks in town.
What does that entail? I hear you're the head honcho up at headquarters now.
Sad to say so.
What does that entail? How you mean? Looks like it mainly entails delivering gift baskets.
- Or is that evidence? - [Phone rings.]
Like somebody stole it and you recovered it? [Receiver thuds.]
Miss Grimes says you can go on in.
[Sighs.]
- It's good to see you, Wade.
- Oh, yeah.
[Door opens.]
[Sighs deeply.]
So, um Thank you for the offer, but, uh, we can't accept gifts from the public or, um, strangers.
I understand, Sheriff.
You're new to the job.
You wanna do everything by the book.
Sure.
Uh, I'm just gonna leave that there.
Is everything still in here? No, ma'am.
I I ate them butter cookies.
You mean These butter cookies? There was There was a second package.
Just so you know, Sheriff, we had some trouble at our construction site the other night.
Two of our vehicles were heavily vandalized.
Okay.
Come in, file a report, and I'll get onto it.
Oh, no, we'll handle it.
You have other things to deal with.
I know how overwhelmed you are.
Think you're pretty smart.
- What? - You're pretty smart.
Went to college, got your education, sitting behind your desk.
You think you know me.
Well, yes, I do.
You think you know what's up on that mountain, too.
But let me tell you something.
You don't know a goddamn thing.
Because if you knew what was up there, you wouldn't be chasing after it.
You would be running as far as you could possibly go in the opposite direction.
But you go on.
Keep looking.
You'll find out.
- [Door opens.]
- Always a pleasure! [Pills rattling.]
[Whispers.]
Six [Sighs.]
