Saving Grace s02e08 Episode Script
The Heart of a Cop
[Crowd Chattering.]
[Grace, Hushed.]
We got 'em from behind.
I can't see what they're carrying.
Bobby, they're coming your way.
You see 'em? Yeah.
It looks like, uh, little pies and crab cakes.
[On Radio.]
No, no.
Little pizzas.
Bobby, behind you.
The little man with the tray, he's getting away! - Trip him! - Aw! - Hors d'oeuvres? - Thank you.
Great.
- Thank you.
- This is inhumane.
Five hours straight without a break.
I gotta have some food.
Mmm.
I gotta take a piss.
Cover me.
- What? - Oh, you look really pretty.
Why, Hamilton, are you gettin' familiar with me? [Chuckles.]
Let's go out.
Where we gonna go? Your brother has us on surveillance.
No, I mean out on a date- a real one.
With silver and fancy napkins.
Beer in a cold, icy glass.
Think maybe you should split up? Nicky.
Look, we got this.
Everything's under control, buddy.
Okay if I pay you by check, Detective? What's with the "Detective" bullshit, man? Don't try to embarrass me.
We'll take the check.
I appreciate the gig.
- Hey, which one is Thomas? - So you can interrogate him? That guy- gray suit? - No.
He's more your type.
- That guy by the bar with the red tie.
Please.
Black shirt, dark jacket.
Can't keep his eyes off you.
Oh, my God.
Grace? Grace Hanadarko? My goodness.
How are you? And how's your precious mother? [Mumbling, Muffled.]
Good.
Mom's in Meadville.
How you doing? Well, I'm doing just fine.
Had a hip replacement.
- First night out.
- Looking good.
- [Chuckles.]
Come on.
- Oh! [Grunts.]
- [Woman.]
Oh, my God.
- [Grace.]
Oh, shit.
Shit.
Oh, my God.
Ohl Um-Nickl I'm- I'm- I'm- I'm so sorry! - [Laughs.]
It's a joke.
Ajoke.
- [Laughing.]
Your face.
Both your faces.
[People Begin Laughing.]
Grace.
Half the fun of these things is getting the swag to take home.
- Check's in there too.
- Oh, thanks.
And- - I'm sorry about the statue.
- That's all right.
You know, we get carried away with the practical jokes.
Do you love him? I watched Ham watch you tonight.
I never once saw him look at Darlene that way.
You're reading a lot into a look.
Figured there was another woman.
Didn't figure that woman was you.
You should be having this conversation with your brother.
You one of those women likes to break up marriages then move on to the next unavailable man? - Thanks again for the gig.
- Or are you just a whore? Hey, man.
You know I carry a gun? What the hell? Stay away from him.
- I don't think he likes you.
- [Laughs.]
No kidding.
[Laughing.]
Can you believe that conniption fit? Samson killing a whole tribe of people with the jawbone of an ass.
- Now that was a conniption fit.
- Jawbone of an ass, huh? You gonna help me find my keys? Wasn't a good day for the Philistines.
[Grace Laughing.]
Is that when Samson cut his hair? No.
How come you couldn't answer Nick's question? Do you love him? "Him"being Ham.
Earl, if you can wing me to the Grand Canyon, how come you can't find my keys? How come you can't answer that question? [Engine Revving.]
[Acoustic Guitar.]
[Man.]
So pretty and, oh, so bold Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road - She said, "I don't even think that God can save me" - Save me Am I gaining ground Am I losing face Have I lost and found my saving grace Thankful for the gift my angels gave me You're telling us all this money came out of your car? - Yes.
- Bullshit.
[All Laughing.]
Come on.
You're just getting us back for yesterday.
- Oh.
Oh, we got her so good.
- Yeah, man.
Guys, look.
Driver came around the corner drunk on his ass smashed my car door- it explodes money.
- [All Laughing.]
- Ah, yeah.
And a couple of these.
- Look at that.
- Frontier casino.
Las Vegas.
- They blew that place up years ago.
- [Kate.]
Grace, is this a joke? No.
If this is a joke I'll wear a puke orange Longhorn shirt to every game this year.
Check out Frontier casino.
Get this money down to Rhetta.
- Anybody drive your car beside you? - No one.
Ever.
- What about your mechanic? - Nelson.
Man's a genius.
- How old's the Porsche? - An '81.
I bought it nine years ago from him.
- Hey, Doc.
- Hey.
What happened? Where's Connie? - Is she okay? - She's fine.
Just needs a new door.
- [All Laughing.]
- Oh, man.
Cross-country.
All the way from New York to San Diego in four days.
- Ooh! - Just driving.
All day, all night.
Me, Connie and the open road.
You know what? It took Nelson two days to get the muck off of it.
- You got the same mechanic? - Hey, only one Nelson.
- If you love her so much, why'd you give her up? - My wife.
It was either her or the car.
I had Connie for five years and had the wife for 10.
- [All Laughing.]
- Hey, hey.
See this? - [Ham.]
Ow.
- That's for hesitating before answering.
- Oh! - [All Laughing.]
I let Doc feel Connie up a couple times a year.
Oh, man.
The smell of her just drive me crazy.
I know the feeling, man.
You bought her in '94 from the Italian race car driver, right? - Well, so the wife thinks.
- What? - That's what you told me too.
- I know, I know, I know.
- I won her in a backroom card game.
- You're serious? Seriously.
Oh, Grace, it was beautiful.
Now look here.
The kid puts down four nines.
- The room erupts.
- Man.
And then the gods smile on me give me a royal flush.
- No way! - Whoo! Oh! Kickin' Connie up just like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, he didn't have a choice.
- Kid cried like a baby.
- Manl - You remember who he was? - Ah, what was his name? Um, uh- Jenner.
Jennings.
Something like that.
- He lived way out on Eastern.
- Right.
- Uh, yeah, in a great big farmhouse.
- Ah.
No parents.
The place was a mess.
You think you'd be able to find it again? You won't believe- - Are you okay? - Uh, no.
I'm not okay.
I spent the morning digging at the bottom of my purse Iooking for change so I could send my kids to school with money for pizza day only to come in here and discover you've been riding around with $220,465 in the door of your car.
Rhetta, breathe.
[Exhales.]
With this much money I could put the kids through college, save the farm.
We could even go on a vacation- Italy, the Vatican.
- Oh, one day.
- It's not like I didn't keep something on the side.
- You did not.
- No.
But how cool would that have been? - One thing you're not is a thief.
- [Laughing.]
- Ham's brother called me a whore.
- Ouch.
- And Ham asked me out on a date.
- Oops.
- It was a rough night.
- You gonna go? - Shit.
Is that a bullet? - Yeah.
And a little dried blood.
- No.
- This money is from at least 1977.
See? "W.
Michael Blumenthal, Secretary ofTreasury.
" '77 to '79.
Lot of cash, bullet.
What other secrets does she hold? - It's gonna take me a couple days to find out.
- A couple days? What am I supposed to do for transportation? They're called rentals.
So when can I get my hands on her? Soon as the investigation's over, Grace'll call you.
She can idle rough sometimes, but she just needs a little love.
So what I do is I clean the deposits off her throttle bore and idle passages- I got it, Nelson.
Thanks.
Grace's mechanic- definitely a Connie head, but he's all about the engine.
Rest of the car's just a cosmetic necessity.
Frontier casino was robbed in May of 1980.
Two masked men got away with half a million dollars, none of it ever recovered.
Till now.
Hey, I took a drive with Doc out to Eastern.
That farmhouse is now a new housing development.
Check out the records in '94.
See who owned that farmhouse then.
You looking for Ham? Nick's out in the hall.
Says he needs to talk to you.
[No Audible Dialogue.]
None of this is making sense.
Rafe, his entire unit- all missing.
- What happened? - They went on some raid in the mountains of Afghanistan.
- Now they've lost contact.
- What do you want to do? I want to get on a plane, go to Afghanistan, search for him myself.
You want me to buy a ticket? I'll buy a ticket.
Shit, Grace.
Am I gonna see some video of my brother kneeling in front of some maniac bringing jihad to America, about to cut his head off? They're gonna find him.
He'll be back giving you shit before you've had a chance to miss him.
It's my little brother.
The three of us- Nick, Bo and me- we always took care of Rafe, you know? Shit.
[Watch Beeping.]
- Nicky's waiting for me.
- I'm a phone call away.
What you just did for Ham- that was good, Grace.
Shut up, Earl.
- Is Rafe a person of faith? - Yeah.
- Then he's gonna be okay.
- Ham wants him alive and okay.
Okay? When you're dead, who gives a shit? [Door Slams.]
Hey, how's he doin'? We gotta keep a good thought.
Think your mom can call some of her friends in Washington, get the inside track? She's already on it.
- This yours? - No.
[Exhales.]
What we got in Vegas? Frontier casino was held up at 3:12 a.
m.
On May 3, 1980.
- We got descriptions? - White.
Average height, weight.
One of them had a scar on his left hand.
The other one chewed gum.
- That's it? What about video? - That was off the video.
Both wore ski masks.
Didn't stop there.
highway patrol officer was shot and killed right outside Clinton, Oklahoma.
Mark Guthrie- on the job three years.
Murder was never solved.
You leave Las Vegas at 3:30, drive l-40 nonstop you hit Oklahoma City in 24 hours.
Clinton in 23.
Gun used to kill Guthrie was a.
45.
Bullet Rhetta pulled out of the money was a.
38- standard-issue highway patrol.
Hey, blood on it may belong to the suspect.
Shit.
Rhetta says the blood's too old to type.
[Sighs.]
Mark Guthrie, dead 28 years.
[Door Opens.]
- Ham with his family? - [Grace.]
Yeah.
I put Rafe on the prayer list at our church.
Third marine this month.
Something happen to Rafe, gonna need to put Ham on that list.
- Doc right about the farmhouse? - Yeah.
In '94, there was a farmhouse on 50 acres at the spot Doc showed Ham.
Owner was Patsy Morgan.
Died in '96.
Kids sold it in 2000.
Morgan JenneyJr.
And his sisterJeannie.
She's clean.
He did time for grand theft auto.
Doc picked Junior's picture as the guy he won the Porsche from.
Junior was what- seven, eight in 1980? Eight.
But check out daddy.
Morgan Jenney was 40 in 1980.
Already had one arrest for armed robbery- uh, payroll heist in 1965.
- He have a partner? - No.
Pulled it solo.
- He died in '84.
- He have any scars? Uh, yeah.
Four-inch scar on his left hand.
- That was easy.
- He had a partner.
Chews gum.
Not gonna be so easy.
I don't like Connie having a cop's blood on her tires.
I gotJunior.
You followed after your dad.
He did six years in prison.
You did 14 months.
I was a stupid kid.
Drugs, crazy shit.
- I'm not like that anymore.
- You turned it around.
Your dad didn't.
Hey, I don't know what you think he did, but you got the wrong guy.
You remember your dad going to Vegas in 1980? He was always going to Vegas.
I went with him a couple times.
- Anyone else go with you? - It was me, Dad and the Porsche.
Nice car.
- When'd he buy it? - '81.
Hmm, saw it in a showroom window.
Pulled over and said, "Son, that is sex on wheels.
" - He loved that car.
- [Laughing.]
I'm surprised he didn't come back and haunt my ass.
I lost it in a card game.
- Your dad have a best friend? - Yeah.
About a thousand of'em.
[Laughing.]
Write down any names you can remember.
Your dad died in '84.
What happened to the Porsche? Mom kept it in the garage, and I got it when I turned 21.
She sat in a garage for nine years.
Soon as I got her up and running I drove her to Vegas in honor of my dad.
That how your dad made his money? He was a gambler, player.
Yeah.
Oilman, land man, stocks.
He played poker with Howard Cosell.
Lost a nickel toJimmy Carter once.
Even lost the Porsche to Barry Switzer for three months.
- What? - Yeah.
They were in some charity thing.
Dad, he was showing off.
Barry, he took him up on it.
- Barry Switzer? - Mm-hmm.
The king was holding four kings.
Drove the Porsche home that night.
- Hey, check on it if you want.
- Are you shitting me? Barry Switzer had my car for three months? Hey, your car? You own Connie now? - You named her Connie? - Dad did.
He named her after the first girl he ever loved.
- JeannieJenney? - Reporters check in down the hall.
- Press conference begins in an hour.
- Detective Butch Ada, O.
C.
P.
D.
I need to talk to you about your father.
You're a little late, Detective.
He's been dead 24 years.
I know.
This is a cold case.
I suggest you talk to his corpse.
Probably be a lot more helpful than I would.
- That right? - That's exactly right.
Being chief of staff to lieutenant governor and all you must've gone through a pretty extensive security check.
Dad's armed robbery- not exactly the kind of thing you want following you around when you're as ambitious as you seem to be.
You want to test a seven-year-old's memory? You go right ahead.
We think your father killed a highway patrolman in 1980 after robbing a Las Vegas casino.
- Why? - Part of the money was stuffed in the Porsche your dad owned.
Same one your brother lost in a card game.
My father was a lot of things, but he wasn't a murderer.
- You sure about that? - Yes.
- He had a partner.
Have any idea who he was? - No.
This was 1980- the yearJohn Lennon died, Ronald Reagan became president.
Charlie's Angels.
But you were watching 60 Minutes.
You don't remember any of your dad's friends, gambling buddies? - No.
- What about your mother? My mother was a saint.
My father- he liked land, money and that Porsche.
And none of them he had for long.
You remember anything else, give me a call.
So what you're saying is this Morgan Jenney killed my boy.
He had a partner in a casino robbery.
We believe that one of them shot Mark.
Well, back then there was no way to link this to a casino robbery.
And the Oklahoma plate that your son called in turned out to be stolen.
Mark was losing blood by the pint.
And he dragged himself 20 feet- Mr.
Guthrie, we're halfway home.
We're gonna finish this.
Hey, man.
What's up? My unit's moving out soon.
Probably won't be sending you another one of these for a month or so.
Kiss Mom for me.
Rub Pop's head for luck, huh? Hope you're staying out of those bathroom stalls, bro.
Boomer Sooner, baby! - [Knocking.]
- [Grace.]
Delivery from Johnnie's.
Oh.
I'm starving.
Come on.
Come in.
I like it.
- Any news? - Nick and I have been working the phones.
But nobody will give anything up in case it's all wrong.
What about the rest of your family? I don't know.
Everybody's scared.
The only time Mom stops crying is when she's gotta open another box of wine.
Bo come up from Austin? [Laughs.]
Hair down to his shoulders.
Pop took one look at him and went fishing.
Just got his tackle box, pole and waders, and up and left.
- How are you dealing? - I don't know.
My brother's lost in the mountains of Afghanistan and I'm thinking about smiley faces, you know? - Smiley faces.
- Yeah.
You know how when you were little and you did good on a test or something the teachers always gave you a smiley face? Rhetta got smiley faces.
I got detention.
Oh, Rafe got really mad at me one time, you know and he tore up all my smiley faces.
- [Shower Running.]
- [Knocking.]
Hey.
Come in.
Ham's in the shower.
You hungry? I got some pancakes over here.
- I can even whip up some eggs if you want.
- Cup of coffee would be fine.
So you spent the night? Came to check on Ham, make sure he's okay.
Milk? Looks like you did a little more than just check on him.
Look, Grace, nothing personal.
I just don't think you're right for my brother.
Nick, it's none of your damn business.
If things turn bad with Rafe Ham's gonna need a little more than just a booty call to get him through.
You gonna be there for him when the shit hits the fan? Gonna be his rock, like Darlene? What the hell are you doing, man? - Jesus, Nick! What the hell are you doing? - What the hell are you doing? I gotta get going.
You two got a lot of family stuff to talk over.
- Grace- - Breakfast is on the table.
See you back at the office.
Shit.
Grace.
Grace.
Look, Nick can be a real jerk.
You know, he's just wound up about Rafe.
Is that- [Laughs.]
Is that your rental car? - Yeah.
- [Laughing.]
- Purple? - It's all the dealer had.
[Laughing.]
Get in, please.
Get in.
[Laughing.]
- [Engine Starts.]
- [Seat Belt Alarm Chiming.]
[Engine Revving.]
[Radio: Woman Singing Rock, Indistinct.]
- Oh, Lord! - [Continues.]
- Everett Marshall.
- What about him? You know he got a record for manslaughter? Uh, yeah.
Bar fight.
He was in his 20s.
He spent four years at McAlester- '65 to '69.
Cell mate was Morgan Jenney.
Doesn't prove they were partnering up in 1980.
They were partnering up to buy land.
Jenney's daughter said her father was a land man.
He and Marshall bought and sold a lot of land in the '70s.
Tough times in the city back then.
Rumor is Everett Marshall got his money gambling in Vegas.
- Same as Morgan Jenney.
- Marshall owns about a third of the land in Oklahoma City.
I know.
We wouldn't have a pro basketball team if it wasn't for Marshall.
I know.
He's an important guy.
We gotta be careful.
- But if he chews gum, we got him.
- [Laughing.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Any word on Rafe? - No.
Everett Marshall's coming in.
Jenney's old cell mate.
- You want a part of that? - Yeah.
Check this out.
[Laughing.]
Is that her rental car? - It's purple.
- Purple.
- It's purple.
- We got good news? Absolutely- something to embarrass Grace's ass for at least a year.
Oh, no.
No, no, no.
Yeah, I did some business with Morgan Jenney.
- You were cell mates, Mr.
Marshall.
- So what? He was in for armed robbery.
You were in for killing a man.
And everybody knows it.
I went to prison.
I got out.
The air has cooled considerably since then.
Two ex-cons turn legit.
Warms my heart.
- What about Vegas? - What about it? - [Bobby.]
You ever go with Morgan Jenney? - Probably.
Yeah.
Fun times.
Wild.
Until my luck ran out, and that turned me straight.
You the girl or the boy? - What? - Were you the girl or the boy? All those years with Morgan Jenney in that cell- were you the girl or the boy? You need to go back to keeping your mouth shut.
[Bobby.]
How you end up owning Morgan Jenney's old farm? Buying land's what I do for a living.
You go up on the roof of this building and look around.
I own about half of everything you see.
You oughta keep that in mind, Detective.
Is there anything else I can help you boys with? Season tickets- on the floor, center court- would be real nice.
Guess I'll be on my way.
Piece of shit! I'm thinking about Mr.
Guthrie.
His son is dead.
There's no good reason for it.
And the people who did it just walk away.
What are you supposed to do with that every morning? You gotta give it to God.
That's the only thing you can do.
Major Carlson, please.
This is Ham Dewey.
[Sighs.]
Well, when's he gonna be out of the meeting? I'll call- I'll call back.
No.
No, I will call him back.
Shit.
- What do you need? - I need someone to give me a damn answer.
I am tired of talking to receptionists and secretaries like I was calling Lost and Found.
I mean, my brother's missing.
[Shouting, Grunting.]
I hate this! I hate this! - She's not in any pain.
- SweetJesus! What'd you use- a can opener? We'll put it back together.
You can't-You can't just put her back together.
- Call Nelson.
- Your mechanic? You have to call Nelson.
Nelson has to be here, has to do this.
She needs his touch.
You don't understand, Rhetta.
- I will call Nelson.
- [Crying.]
She's never gonna ride the same.
By the way, I think you look cute in the little purple buggy.
- When do I get my car back? - A few more days.
Not good enough.
No, no.
I need her by tomorrow.
Tomorrow, Rhetta.
I'm not kidding.
And please tell me you found something after all this.
The only other thing that I found in the door besides the money was this.
- What is it? - A nut driver.
It wasn't manufactured until after 1998.
- That's it? - Cigarette butts in the ashtray.
Map and flashlight in the glove box.
Along with three chopsticks phone numbers written in them four condoms, mercifully still in their wrappers and myJanis lan CD I lent you that you said you lost.
Ha, ha, ha! Driver's seat back pocket: Two pairs of underwear, his and hers.
And this.
Shoved deep in the backseat cushion.
[Two Notes.]
[Chord.]
I do appreciate a man with a firm embouchure.
Nuh-uh-uh-uh.
Technically, still evidence.
[Cell Phone Ringing.]
[Grunts.]
[Rhetta Hums Silly Fanfare.]
Yeah, Butch? [Ham.]
Why didn't he call me before he went into the damn meeting? Sir, if you want to wait for the lieutenant colonel, you will have to wait for him over there.
I'm gonna wait right here until I get some answers about my brother.
That makes two of us, and I'm louder than he is.
- And she's a lot less stable than I am.
- Borderline.
- Get on the other side of that desk.
- No.
His family has questions.
They deserve answers.
- I am not going to have a situation with you, ma'am.
- We gonna have a situation? - [Muttering.]
Situation.
Bullshit red tape.
- She doesn't know anything.
- Anybody got some answers here? Anybody? - You got some answers? - How about you? - Anybody know what's going on? - What's going on, Corporal? - My brother's Lieutenant Ralph Dewey.
- You been dodging my calls.
- Come to my office.
No.
You tell me right here and right now.
Your brother's unit was located and extracted at 0430 local time.
There were casualties.
Lieutenant Dewey was wounded.
He's being evaluated at Camp Bastion for possible medevac to Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
- So Rafe is alive? - Yes.
We've had conflicting reports.
I wanted to make sure my information was correct.
Come on.
We'll try to get through to him.
We got gas residue at the crime scene, Gus.
They figure the gas tank of the getaway car was hit in the gunfight.
You just shot a police officer.
How long you want to be in a car leaking gas with stolen plates? - [Barking.]
- Yeah, no shit.
So where'd they dump the car, the murder weapon? It's probably buried under a nail salon in a mini mall.
Oh.
Oh, sorry.
That's mine.
- Oh, you, uh, planning a vacation? - Ever been to Las Vegas? Always afraid I'd be there when God decided to do something about the place.
Your trip there in '85- that was one for the books.
- Ever hear from that rugby team? - A few of'em.
Christmas cards.
- So Rafe's okay? - Yeah.
Lot of good karma out there for that boy.
- Karma? - And prayers, good thoughts.
- Which one is it? - What do you figure? I figure he just got lucky.
It wasn't his time.
Fate, destiny, kismet.
Sure is fun watchin' y'all rassle with all this stuff.
Oh, okay.
Do you believe your life is preordained? You mean, there's a God who knows everything we're gonna do before we do it? - Yes.
- No.
Everything's predetermined, Grace.
But freedom of will is given.
Rirkei Avot.
[Laughing.]
God know- know I was gonna do that? Hmm? [Laughs.]
Or that? Still a mighty weapon, the jawbone of an ass.
So Marshall and Jenney are driving pedal to the metal, leaking gas - screaming at each other about killing a cop.
- Grace is right.
They gotta do something before they run out of gas, somebody finds that body.
- Jenney farm.
- What's this here? Marshall's housing development.
He built the whole thing around that lake.
That's a nice place to toss a murder weapon.
We should get a warrant, send out some divers, see what they can catch.
I'm looking for Detective Dewey.
- That's me.
- I'm Barry Switzer.
- How you doing? - Good.
Good.
Ham Dewey.
I got a call, said something about being down here at 9:00.
This is something about a car I had for a few months.
[Gasps.]
Oh, my- Coach Switzer, this is Captain Perry.
- Captain, Barry Switzer.
- Yes, he is.
- What can I do for you folks? - What haven't you done for us? - Ada, right? - Yes, sir.
Played quarterback, Heritage Hall.
Ended up at Texas.
That's right.
[Electric Guitar: Dramatic.]
- About that Porsche.
- What about it? [Clears Throat.]
We can, uh- We can talk about this in my office.
This come from the car in Marshall's lake? Divers found a '72 Dodge Charger down there stuck in the mud.
Bullet in the gas tank came from Mark Guthrie's service weapon.
And I can't believe you set up that whole thing for Ham and didn't tell me Barry Switzer was gonna be here.
You would've blown it, Rhetta.
- Perry, Ham, Butch, Bobby- everyone got to meet him but me.
- And me.
You got to talk to him on the phone.
Yes, I did.
What else you get from the car? Um, do you know what that is? - Chewing gum.
- Yeah.
Really old chewing gum.
And that is a patent fingerprint embossed in the gum.
Everett Marshall has a record.
We'll have his fingerprints.
Circumstantial, but it puts him in the car.
You boys just digging yourselves deeper.
Someone we want you to meet.
Hank Guthrie, this is Everett Marshall.
I don't know this man.
No.
But now he knows you.
I'm sorry it took so long, Mr.
Guthrie.
Hey, Nelson.
This just ain't right.
They took her apart with a pickax.
Come check this out.
Every time I touch her, she moans.
You're gonna have to be careful with her for a while.
- She's been traumatized.
- Feel under here.
- Yeah.
- They didn't torque these screws down.
Yeah.
You gotta have the right tool for that.
These butchers wouldn't understand.
- Nelson.
- Hey, where'd you find that? Oh, shit.
You found it in the door, didn't you? How long you know there was money in my car? Ever since the second time I worked on her.
I never took much.
Just what I needed.
- Why didn't you just take it all? - I'd have spent it in a week.
You take such good care of Connie.
I knew I'd be seeing you.
It's like having my own bank rolling in the garage.
- Am I in trouble? - Yes, Nelson.
Shit! You go to prison, who's gonna work on Connie? Go ahead.
Finish.
Damn, Nelson.
Everett Marshall's gonna say my father pulled the trigger.
That's the version that helps him.
Rob a casino, yeah.
Shoot a cop? I just can't see it.
- That's the dead cop's father? - Yeah.
I should apologize.
You should let me buy you a drink.
Rafe is gonna shit when I tell him about this, man.
[Mock Groaning.]
I was on my knees, you know? I was begging, praying, bargaining.
- What kind of deal did you make? - Church every Sunday for the rest of my life.
[Both Laughing.]
- Thank you.
- Yes.
Well, from me for Mark- thank you.
- To your son.
- My son.
- Connie's back.
- Whoo! Yeah! How's she running, man? A little traumatized.
We'll work it out.
- We got a surprise for you.
- Hey, we're not even for that surprise at the museum.
- Get ready.
- Come here.
Come here.
Come on.
Excuse me.
[Murmuring.]
Ow, ow! - [Chattering.]
- [No Audible Dialogue.]
Hey, Grace.
This is Barry.
Barry, this is Grace.
Grace, you might be more comfortable in the chair.
I've tried to live my entire life based on the wishbone offense.
[All Laughing.]
- So you're the one that ended up with Connie? - I'm taking good care of her.
Ah.
I'll tell you what.
I'd love to have one more spin with her.
I'll trade.
What do you think? "Steve Owens.
" "Billy Sims.
" "Jason White.
" We got a deal? - [Tires Squealing.]
- [Both Laughing.]
How about that, gal? [Truck Horn Honks.]
Same car.
- Whoo-hoo! - Whoo-wee! Oh! [People Chattering.]
[Jukebox: Soul.]
This is one of the best days of my life.
One Super Bowl, three national titles, [Both Laughing.]
Oh.
[Clears Throat.]
I looked up the meaning of"embouchure.
" [Blues.]
[Cell Phone Ringing.]
Hi, babe.
Come on.
I'll bring him to your mom's.
Rafe's dead.
He died on the plane out.
Never got to Germany.
My brother- [Man.]
I was too busy countin'all my zeros Never really thought too much about heroes Never really thought too much about anyone but me Never really opened my eyes wide enough So that I could see But I'm just like you You're just like me And I'm just like you You're just like me We're only separated by a few degrees And I'm just like you You're just like me Just like me Just like me Never really thought too much about tomorrow Never really dealt very well with sorrow Tired oflivin'my life like a feather floatin'on the breeze [Female Chorus.]
Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Grace, Hushed.]
We got 'em from behind.
I can't see what they're carrying.
Bobby, they're coming your way.
You see 'em? Yeah.
It looks like, uh, little pies and crab cakes.
[On Radio.]
No, no.
Little pizzas.
Bobby, behind you.
The little man with the tray, he's getting away! - Trip him! - Aw! - Hors d'oeuvres? - Thank you.
Great.
- Thank you.
- This is inhumane.
Five hours straight without a break.
I gotta have some food.
Mmm.
I gotta take a piss.
Cover me.
- What? - Oh, you look really pretty.
Why, Hamilton, are you gettin' familiar with me? [Chuckles.]
Let's go out.
Where we gonna go? Your brother has us on surveillance.
No, I mean out on a date- a real one.
With silver and fancy napkins.
Beer in a cold, icy glass.
Think maybe you should split up? Nicky.
Look, we got this.
Everything's under control, buddy.
Okay if I pay you by check, Detective? What's with the "Detective" bullshit, man? Don't try to embarrass me.
We'll take the check.
I appreciate the gig.
- Hey, which one is Thomas? - So you can interrogate him? That guy- gray suit? - No.
He's more your type.
- That guy by the bar with the red tie.
Please.
Black shirt, dark jacket.
Can't keep his eyes off you.
Oh, my God.
Grace? Grace Hanadarko? My goodness.
How are you? And how's your precious mother? [Mumbling, Muffled.]
Good.
Mom's in Meadville.
How you doing? Well, I'm doing just fine.
Had a hip replacement.
- First night out.
- Looking good.
- [Chuckles.]
Come on.
- Oh! [Grunts.]
- [Woman.]
Oh, my God.
- [Grace.]
Oh, shit.
Shit.
Oh, my God.
Ohl Um-Nickl I'm- I'm- I'm- I'm so sorry! - [Laughs.]
It's a joke.
Ajoke.
- [Laughing.]
Your face.
Both your faces.
[People Begin Laughing.]
Grace.
Half the fun of these things is getting the swag to take home.
- Check's in there too.
- Oh, thanks.
And- - I'm sorry about the statue.
- That's all right.
You know, we get carried away with the practical jokes.
Do you love him? I watched Ham watch you tonight.
I never once saw him look at Darlene that way.
You're reading a lot into a look.
Figured there was another woman.
Didn't figure that woman was you.
You should be having this conversation with your brother.
You one of those women likes to break up marriages then move on to the next unavailable man? - Thanks again for the gig.
- Or are you just a whore? Hey, man.
You know I carry a gun? What the hell? Stay away from him.
- I don't think he likes you.
- [Laughs.]
No kidding.
[Laughing.]
Can you believe that conniption fit? Samson killing a whole tribe of people with the jawbone of an ass.
- Now that was a conniption fit.
- Jawbone of an ass, huh? You gonna help me find my keys? Wasn't a good day for the Philistines.
[Grace Laughing.]
Is that when Samson cut his hair? No.
How come you couldn't answer Nick's question? Do you love him? "Him"being Ham.
Earl, if you can wing me to the Grand Canyon, how come you can't find my keys? How come you can't answer that question? [Engine Revving.]
[Acoustic Guitar.]
[Man.]
So pretty and, oh, so bold Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road - She said, "I don't even think that God can save me" - Save me Am I gaining ground Am I losing face Have I lost and found my saving grace Thankful for the gift my angels gave me You're telling us all this money came out of your car? - Yes.
- Bullshit.
[All Laughing.]
Come on.
You're just getting us back for yesterday.
- Oh.
Oh, we got her so good.
- Yeah, man.
Guys, look.
Driver came around the corner drunk on his ass smashed my car door- it explodes money.
- [All Laughing.]
- Ah, yeah.
And a couple of these.
- Look at that.
- Frontier casino.
Las Vegas.
- They blew that place up years ago.
- [Kate.]
Grace, is this a joke? No.
If this is a joke I'll wear a puke orange Longhorn shirt to every game this year.
Check out Frontier casino.
Get this money down to Rhetta.
- Anybody drive your car beside you? - No one.
Ever.
- What about your mechanic? - Nelson.
Man's a genius.
- How old's the Porsche? - An '81.
I bought it nine years ago from him.
- Hey, Doc.
- Hey.
What happened? Where's Connie? - Is she okay? - She's fine.
Just needs a new door.
- [All Laughing.]
- Oh, man.
Cross-country.
All the way from New York to San Diego in four days.
- Ooh! - Just driving.
All day, all night.
Me, Connie and the open road.
You know what? It took Nelson two days to get the muck off of it.
- You got the same mechanic? - Hey, only one Nelson.
- If you love her so much, why'd you give her up? - My wife.
It was either her or the car.
I had Connie for five years and had the wife for 10.
- [All Laughing.]
- Hey, hey.
See this? - [Ham.]
Ow.
- That's for hesitating before answering.
- Oh! - [All Laughing.]
I let Doc feel Connie up a couple times a year.
Oh, man.
The smell of her just drive me crazy.
I know the feeling, man.
You bought her in '94 from the Italian race car driver, right? - Well, so the wife thinks.
- What? - That's what you told me too.
- I know, I know, I know.
- I won her in a backroom card game.
- You're serious? Seriously.
Oh, Grace, it was beautiful.
Now look here.
The kid puts down four nines.
- The room erupts.
- Man.
And then the gods smile on me give me a royal flush.
- No way! - Whoo! Oh! Kickin' Connie up just like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, he didn't have a choice.
- Kid cried like a baby.
- Manl - You remember who he was? - Ah, what was his name? Um, uh- Jenner.
Jennings.
Something like that.
- He lived way out on Eastern.
- Right.
- Uh, yeah, in a great big farmhouse.
- Ah.
No parents.
The place was a mess.
You think you'd be able to find it again? You won't believe- - Are you okay? - Uh, no.
I'm not okay.
I spent the morning digging at the bottom of my purse Iooking for change so I could send my kids to school with money for pizza day only to come in here and discover you've been riding around with $220,465 in the door of your car.
Rhetta, breathe.
[Exhales.]
With this much money I could put the kids through college, save the farm.
We could even go on a vacation- Italy, the Vatican.
- Oh, one day.
- It's not like I didn't keep something on the side.
- You did not.
- No.
But how cool would that have been? - One thing you're not is a thief.
- [Laughing.]
- Ham's brother called me a whore.
- Ouch.
- And Ham asked me out on a date.
- Oops.
- It was a rough night.
- You gonna go? - Shit.
Is that a bullet? - Yeah.
And a little dried blood.
- No.
- This money is from at least 1977.
See? "W.
Michael Blumenthal, Secretary ofTreasury.
" '77 to '79.
Lot of cash, bullet.
What other secrets does she hold? - It's gonna take me a couple days to find out.
- A couple days? What am I supposed to do for transportation? They're called rentals.
So when can I get my hands on her? Soon as the investigation's over, Grace'll call you.
She can idle rough sometimes, but she just needs a little love.
So what I do is I clean the deposits off her throttle bore and idle passages- I got it, Nelson.
Thanks.
Grace's mechanic- definitely a Connie head, but he's all about the engine.
Rest of the car's just a cosmetic necessity.
Frontier casino was robbed in May of 1980.
Two masked men got away with half a million dollars, none of it ever recovered.
Till now.
Hey, I took a drive with Doc out to Eastern.
That farmhouse is now a new housing development.
Check out the records in '94.
See who owned that farmhouse then.
You looking for Ham? Nick's out in the hall.
Says he needs to talk to you.
[No Audible Dialogue.]
None of this is making sense.
Rafe, his entire unit- all missing.
- What happened? - They went on some raid in the mountains of Afghanistan.
- Now they've lost contact.
- What do you want to do? I want to get on a plane, go to Afghanistan, search for him myself.
You want me to buy a ticket? I'll buy a ticket.
Shit, Grace.
Am I gonna see some video of my brother kneeling in front of some maniac bringing jihad to America, about to cut his head off? They're gonna find him.
He'll be back giving you shit before you've had a chance to miss him.
It's my little brother.
The three of us- Nick, Bo and me- we always took care of Rafe, you know? Shit.
[Watch Beeping.]
- Nicky's waiting for me.
- I'm a phone call away.
What you just did for Ham- that was good, Grace.
Shut up, Earl.
- Is Rafe a person of faith? - Yeah.
- Then he's gonna be okay.
- Ham wants him alive and okay.
Okay? When you're dead, who gives a shit? [Door Slams.]
Hey, how's he doin'? We gotta keep a good thought.
Think your mom can call some of her friends in Washington, get the inside track? She's already on it.
- This yours? - No.
[Exhales.]
What we got in Vegas? Frontier casino was held up at 3:12 a.
m.
On May 3, 1980.
- We got descriptions? - White.
Average height, weight.
One of them had a scar on his left hand.
The other one chewed gum.
- That's it? What about video? - That was off the video.
Both wore ski masks.
Didn't stop there.
highway patrol officer was shot and killed right outside Clinton, Oklahoma.
Mark Guthrie- on the job three years.
Murder was never solved.
You leave Las Vegas at 3:30, drive l-40 nonstop you hit Oklahoma City in 24 hours.
Clinton in 23.
Gun used to kill Guthrie was a.
45.
Bullet Rhetta pulled out of the money was a.
38- standard-issue highway patrol.
Hey, blood on it may belong to the suspect.
Shit.
Rhetta says the blood's too old to type.
[Sighs.]
Mark Guthrie, dead 28 years.
[Door Opens.]
- Ham with his family? - [Grace.]
Yeah.
I put Rafe on the prayer list at our church.
Third marine this month.
Something happen to Rafe, gonna need to put Ham on that list.
- Doc right about the farmhouse? - Yeah.
In '94, there was a farmhouse on 50 acres at the spot Doc showed Ham.
Owner was Patsy Morgan.
Died in '96.
Kids sold it in 2000.
Morgan JenneyJr.
And his sisterJeannie.
She's clean.
He did time for grand theft auto.
Doc picked Junior's picture as the guy he won the Porsche from.
Junior was what- seven, eight in 1980? Eight.
But check out daddy.
Morgan Jenney was 40 in 1980.
Already had one arrest for armed robbery- uh, payroll heist in 1965.
- He have a partner? - No.
Pulled it solo.
- He died in '84.
- He have any scars? Uh, yeah.
Four-inch scar on his left hand.
- That was easy.
- He had a partner.
Chews gum.
Not gonna be so easy.
I don't like Connie having a cop's blood on her tires.
I gotJunior.
You followed after your dad.
He did six years in prison.
You did 14 months.
I was a stupid kid.
Drugs, crazy shit.
- I'm not like that anymore.
- You turned it around.
Your dad didn't.
Hey, I don't know what you think he did, but you got the wrong guy.
You remember your dad going to Vegas in 1980? He was always going to Vegas.
I went with him a couple times.
- Anyone else go with you? - It was me, Dad and the Porsche.
Nice car.
- When'd he buy it? - '81.
Hmm, saw it in a showroom window.
Pulled over and said, "Son, that is sex on wheels.
" - He loved that car.
- [Laughing.]
I'm surprised he didn't come back and haunt my ass.
I lost it in a card game.
- Your dad have a best friend? - Yeah.
About a thousand of'em.
[Laughing.]
Write down any names you can remember.
Your dad died in '84.
What happened to the Porsche? Mom kept it in the garage, and I got it when I turned 21.
She sat in a garage for nine years.
Soon as I got her up and running I drove her to Vegas in honor of my dad.
That how your dad made his money? He was a gambler, player.
Yeah.
Oilman, land man, stocks.
He played poker with Howard Cosell.
Lost a nickel toJimmy Carter once.
Even lost the Porsche to Barry Switzer for three months.
- What? - Yeah.
They were in some charity thing.
Dad, he was showing off.
Barry, he took him up on it.
- Barry Switzer? - Mm-hmm.
The king was holding four kings.
Drove the Porsche home that night.
- Hey, check on it if you want.
- Are you shitting me? Barry Switzer had my car for three months? Hey, your car? You own Connie now? - You named her Connie? - Dad did.
He named her after the first girl he ever loved.
- JeannieJenney? - Reporters check in down the hall.
- Press conference begins in an hour.
- Detective Butch Ada, O.
C.
P.
D.
I need to talk to you about your father.
You're a little late, Detective.
He's been dead 24 years.
I know.
This is a cold case.
I suggest you talk to his corpse.
Probably be a lot more helpful than I would.
- That right? - That's exactly right.
Being chief of staff to lieutenant governor and all you must've gone through a pretty extensive security check.
Dad's armed robbery- not exactly the kind of thing you want following you around when you're as ambitious as you seem to be.
You want to test a seven-year-old's memory? You go right ahead.
We think your father killed a highway patrolman in 1980 after robbing a Las Vegas casino.
- Why? - Part of the money was stuffed in the Porsche your dad owned.
Same one your brother lost in a card game.
My father was a lot of things, but he wasn't a murderer.
- You sure about that? - Yes.
- He had a partner.
Have any idea who he was? - No.
This was 1980- the yearJohn Lennon died, Ronald Reagan became president.
Charlie's Angels.
But you were watching 60 Minutes.
You don't remember any of your dad's friends, gambling buddies? - No.
- What about your mother? My mother was a saint.
My father- he liked land, money and that Porsche.
And none of them he had for long.
You remember anything else, give me a call.
So what you're saying is this Morgan Jenney killed my boy.
He had a partner in a casino robbery.
We believe that one of them shot Mark.
Well, back then there was no way to link this to a casino robbery.
And the Oklahoma plate that your son called in turned out to be stolen.
Mark was losing blood by the pint.
And he dragged himself 20 feet- Mr.
Guthrie, we're halfway home.
We're gonna finish this.
Hey, man.
What's up? My unit's moving out soon.
Probably won't be sending you another one of these for a month or so.
Kiss Mom for me.
Rub Pop's head for luck, huh? Hope you're staying out of those bathroom stalls, bro.
Boomer Sooner, baby! - [Knocking.]
- [Grace.]
Delivery from Johnnie's.
Oh.
I'm starving.
Come on.
Come in.
I like it.
- Any news? - Nick and I have been working the phones.
But nobody will give anything up in case it's all wrong.
What about the rest of your family? I don't know.
Everybody's scared.
The only time Mom stops crying is when she's gotta open another box of wine.
Bo come up from Austin? [Laughs.]
Hair down to his shoulders.
Pop took one look at him and went fishing.
Just got his tackle box, pole and waders, and up and left.
- How are you dealing? - I don't know.
My brother's lost in the mountains of Afghanistan and I'm thinking about smiley faces, you know? - Smiley faces.
- Yeah.
You know how when you were little and you did good on a test or something the teachers always gave you a smiley face? Rhetta got smiley faces.
I got detention.
Oh, Rafe got really mad at me one time, you know and he tore up all my smiley faces.
- [Shower Running.]
- [Knocking.]
Hey.
Come in.
Ham's in the shower.
You hungry? I got some pancakes over here.
- I can even whip up some eggs if you want.
- Cup of coffee would be fine.
So you spent the night? Came to check on Ham, make sure he's okay.
Milk? Looks like you did a little more than just check on him.
Look, Grace, nothing personal.
I just don't think you're right for my brother.
Nick, it's none of your damn business.
If things turn bad with Rafe Ham's gonna need a little more than just a booty call to get him through.
You gonna be there for him when the shit hits the fan? Gonna be his rock, like Darlene? What the hell are you doing, man? - Jesus, Nick! What the hell are you doing? - What the hell are you doing? I gotta get going.
You two got a lot of family stuff to talk over.
- Grace- - Breakfast is on the table.
See you back at the office.
Shit.
Grace.
Grace.
Look, Nick can be a real jerk.
You know, he's just wound up about Rafe.
Is that- [Laughs.]
Is that your rental car? - Yeah.
- [Laughing.]
- Purple? - It's all the dealer had.
[Laughing.]
Get in, please.
Get in.
[Laughing.]
- [Engine Starts.]
- [Seat Belt Alarm Chiming.]
[Engine Revving.]
[Radio: Woman Singing Rock, Indistinct.]
- Oh, Lord! - [Continues.]
- Everett Marshall.
- What about him? You know he got a record for manslaughter? Uh, yeah.
Bar fight.
He was in his 20s.
He spent four years at McAlester- '65 to '69.
Cell mate was Morgan Jenney.
Doesn't prove they were partnering up in 1980.
They were partnering up to buy land.
Jenney's daughter said her father was a land man.
He and Marshall bought and sold a lot of land in the '70s.
Tough times in the city back then.
Rumor is Everett Marshall got his money gambling in Vegas.
- Same as Morgan Jenney.
- Marshall owns about a third of the land in Oklahoma City.
I know.
We wouldn't have a pro basketball team if it wasn't for Marshall.
I know.
He's an important guy.
We gotta be careful.
- But if he chews gum, we got him.
- [Laughing.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Any word on Rafe? - No.
Everett Marshall's coming in.
Jenney's old cell mate.
- You want a part of that? - Yeah.
Check this out.
[Laughing.]
Is that her rental car? - It's purple.
- Purple.
- It's purple.
- We got good news? Absolutely- something to embarrass Grace's ass for at least a year.
Oh, no.
No, no, no.
Yeah, I did some business with Morgan Jenney.
- You were cell mates, Mr.
Marshall.
- So what? He was in for armed robbery.
You were in for killing a man.
And everybody knows it.
I went to prison.
I got out.
The air has cooled considerably since then.
Two ex-cons turn legit.
Warms my heart.
- What about Vegas? - What about it? - [Bobby.]
You ever go with Morgan Jenney? - Probably.
Yeah.
Fun times.
Wild.
Until my luck ran out, and that turned me straight.
You the girl or the boy? - What? - Were you the girl or the boy? All those years with Morgan Jenney in that cell- were you the girl or the boy? You need to go back to keeping your mouth shut.
[Bobby.]
How you end up owning Morgan Jenney's old farm? Buying land's what I do for a living.
You go up on the roof of this building and look around.
I own about half of everything you see.
You oughta keep that in mind, Detective.
Is there anything else I can help you boys with? Season tickets- on the floor, center court- would be real nice.
Guess I'll be on my way.
Piece of shit! I'm thinking about Mr.
Guthrie.
His son is dead.
There's no good reason for it.
And the people who did it just walk away.
What are you supposed to do with that every morning? You gotta give it to God.
That's the only thing you can do.
Major Carlson, please.
This is Ham Dewey.
[Sighs.]
Well, when's he gonna be out of the meeting? I'll call- I'll call back.
No.
No, I will call him back.
Shit.
- What do you need? - I need someone to give me a damn answer.
I am tired of talking to receptionists and secretaries like I was calling Lost and Found.
I mean, my brother's missing.
[Shouting, Grunting.]
I hate this! I hate this! - She's not in any pain.
- SweetJesus! What'd you use- a can opener? We'll put it back together.
You can't-You can't just put her back together.
- Call Nelson.
- Your mechanic? You have to call Nelson.
Nelson has to be here, has to do this.
She needs his touch.
You don't understand, Rhetta.
- I will call Nelson.
- [Crying.]
She's never gonna ride the same.
By the way, I think you look cute in the little purple buggy.
- When do I get my car back? - A few more days.
Not good enough.
No, no.
I need her by tomorrow.
Tomorrow, Rhetta.
I'm not kidding.
And please tell me you found something after all this.
The only other thing that I found in the door besides the money was this.
- What is it? - A nut driver.
It wasn't manufactured until after 1998.
- That's it? - Cigarette butts in the ashtray.
Map and flashlight in the glove box.
Along with three chopsticks phone numbers written in them four condoms, mercifully still in their wrappers and myJanis lan CD I lent you that you said you lost.
Ha, ha, ha! Driver's seat back pocket: Two pairs of underwear, his and hers.
And this.
Shoved deep in the backseat cushion.
[Two Notes.]
[Chord.]
I do appreciate a man with a firm embouchure.
Nuh-uh-uh-uh.
Technically, still evidence.
[Cell Phone Ringing.]
[Grunts.]
[Rhetta Hums Silly Fanfare.]
Yeah, Butch? [Ham.]
Why didn't he call me before he went into the damn meeting? Sir, if you want to wait for the lieutenant colonel, you will have to wait for him over there.
I'm gonna wait right here until I get some answers about my brother.
That makes two of us, and I'm louder than he is.
- And she's a lot less stable than I am.
- Borderline.
- Get on the other side of that desk.
- No.
His family has questions.
They deserve answers.
- I am not going to have a situation with you, ma'am.
- We gonna have a situation? - [Muttering.]
Situation.
Bullshit red tape.
- She doesn't know anything.
- Anybody got some answers here? Anybody? - You got some answers? - How about you? - Anybody know what's going on? - What's going on, Corporal? - My brother's Lieutenant Ralph Dewey.
- You been dodging my calls.
- Come to my office.
No.
You tell me right here and right now.
Your brother's unit was located and extracted at 0430 local time.
There were casualties.
Lieutenant Dewey was wounded.
He's being evaluated at Camp Bastion for possible medevac to Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
- So Rafe is alive? - Yes.
We've had conflicting reports.
I wanted to make sure my information was correct.
Come on.
We'll try to get through to him.
We got gas residue at the crime scene, Gus.
They figure the gas tank of the getaway car was hit in the gunfight.
You just shot a police officer.
How long you want to be in a car leaking gas with stolen plates? - [Barking.]
- Yeah, no shit.
So where'd they dump the car, the murder weapon? It's probably buried under a nail salon in a mini mall.
Oh.
Oh, sorry.
That's mine.
- Oh, you, uh, planning a vacation? - Ever been to Las Vegas? Always afraid I'd be there when God decided to do something about the place.
Your trip there in '85- that was one for the books.
- Ever hear from that rugby team? - A few of'em.
Christmas cards.
- So Rafe's okay? - Yeah.
Lot of good karma out there for that boy.
- Karma? - And prayers, good thoughts.
- Which one is it? - What do you figure? I figure he just got lucky.
It wasn't his time.
Fate, destiny, kismet.
Sure is fun watchin' y'all rassle with all this stuff.
Oh, okay.
Do you believe your life is preordained? You mean, there's a God who knows everything we're gonna do before we do it? - Yes.
- No.
Everything's predetermined, Grace.
But freedom of will is given.
Rirkei Avot.
[Laughing.]
God know- know I was gonna do that? Hmm? [Laughs.]
Or that? Still a mighty weapon, the jawbone of an ass.
So Marshall and Jenney are driving pedal to the metal, leaking gas - screaming at each other about killing a cop.
- Grace is right.
They gotta do something before they run out of gas, somebody finds that body.
- Jenney farm.
- What's this here? Marshall's housing development.
He built the whole thing around that lake.
That's a nice place to toss a murder weapon.
We should get a warrant, send out some divers, see what they can catch.
I'm looking for Detective Dewey.
- That's me.
- I'm Barry Switzer.
- How you doing? - Good.
Good.
Ham Dewey.
I got a call, said something about being down here at 9:00.
This is something about a car I had for a few months.
[Gasps.]
Oh, my- Coach Switzer, this is Captain Perry.
- Captain, Barry Switzer.
- Yes, he is.
- What can I do for you folks? - What haven't you done for us? - Ada, right? - Yes, sir.
Played quarterback, Heritage Hall.
Ended up at Texas.
That's right.
[Electric Guitar: Dramatic.]
- About that Porsche.
- What about it? [Clears Throat.]
We can, uh- We can talk about this in my office.
This come from the car in Marshall's lake? Divers found a '72 Dodge Charger down there stuck in the mud.
Bullet in the gas tank came from Mark Guthrie's service weapon.
And I can't believe you set up that whole thing for Ham and didn't tell me Barry Switzer was gonna be here.
You would've blown it, Rhetta.
- Perry, Ham, Butch, Bobby- everyone got to meet him but me.
- And me.
You got to talk to him on the phone.
Yes, I did.
What else you get from the car? Um, do you know what that is? - Chewing gum.
- Yeah.
Really old chewing gum.
And that is a patent fingerprint embossed in the gum.
Everett Marshall has a record.
We'll have his fingerprints.
Circumstantial, but it puts him in the car.
You boys just digging yourselves deeper.
Someone we want you to meet.
Hank Guthrie, this is Everett Marshall.
I don't know this man.
No.
But now he knows you.
I'm sorry it took so long, Mr.
Guthrie.
Hey, Nelson.
This just ain't right.
They took her apart with a pickax.
Come check this out.
Every time I touch her, she moans.
You're gonna have to be careful with her for a while.
- She's been traumatized.
- Feel under here.
- Yeah.
- They didn't torque these screws down.
Yeah.
You gotta have the right tool for that.
These butchers wouldn't understand.
- Nelson.
- Hey, where'd you find that? Oh, shit.
You found it in the door, didn't you? How long you know there was money in my car? Ever since the second time I worked on her.
I never took much.
Just what I needed.
- Why didn't you just take it all? - I'd have spent it in a week.
You take such good care of Connie.
I knew I'd be seeing you.
It's like having my own bank rolling in the garage.
- Am I in trouble? - Yes, Nelson.
Shit! You go to prison, who's gonna work on Connie? Go ahead.
Finish.
Damn, Nelson.
Everett Marshall's gonna say my father pulled the trigger.
That's the version that helps him.
Rob a casino, yeah.
Shoot a cop? I just can't see it.
- That's the dead cop's father? - Yeah.
I should apologize.
You should let me buy you a drink.
Rafe is gonna shit when I tell him about this, man.
[Mock Groaning.]
I was on my knees, you know? I was begging, praying, bargaining.
- What kind of deal did you make? - Church every Sunday for the rest of my life.
[Both Laughing.]
- Thank you.
- Yes.
Well, from me for Mark- thank you.
- To your son.
- My son.
- Connie's back.
- Whoo! Yeah! How's she running, man? A little traumatized.
We'll work it out.
- We got a surprise for you.
- Hey, we're not even for that surprise at the museum.
- Get ready.
- Come here.
Come here.
Come on.
Excuse me.
[Murmuring.]
Ow, ow! - [Chattering.]
- [No Audible Dialogue.]
Hey, Grace.
This is Barry.
Barry, this is Grace.
Grace, you might be more comfortable in the chair.
I've tried to live my entire life based on the wishbone offense.
[All Laughing.]
- So you're the one that ended up with Connie? - I'm taking good care of her.
Ah.
I'll tell you what.
I'd love to have one more spin with her.
I'll trade.
What do you think? "Steve Owens.
" "Billy Sims.
" "Jason White.
" We got a deal? - [Tires Squealing.]
- [Both Laughing.]
How about that, gal? [Truck Horn Honks.]
Same car.
- Whoo-hoo! - Whoo-wee! Oh! [People Chattering.]
[Jukebox: Soul.]
This is one of the best days of my life.
One Super Bowl, three national titles, [Both Laughing.]
Oh.
[Clears Throat.]
I looked up the meaning of"embouchure.
" [Blues.]
[Cell Phone Ringing.]
Hi, babe.
Come on.
I'll bring him to your mom's.
Rafe's dead.
He died on the plane out.
Never got to Germany.
My brother- [Man.]
I was too busy countin'all my zeros Never really thought too much about heroes Never really thought too much about anyone but me Never really opened my eyes wide enough So that I could see But I'm just like you You're just like me And I'm just like you You're just like me We're only separated by a few degrees And I'm just like you You're just like me Just like me Just like me Never really thought too much about tomorrow Never really dealt very well with sorrow Tired oflivin'my life like a feather floatin'on the breeze [Female Chorus.]
Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh
