to how bad he wants to save himself.

What's that supposed to mean?

Why are you crying, Mommy?

I'm sorry, Martha.

You and Sally deserve

better than this. I mean that.

It never should have been this way.

But I don't want to make promises

that I can't keep.

Hey, Sally, what do you say

you and I take a ride in the cruiser?

Really?

I'm not asking people to be perfect, Sal.

Everybody makes mistakes.

God knows I'm no exception.

But everybody thinks that they can do

whatever the hell they want

with no repercussions whatsoever.

And what is the point

of being the only clean person

in a town that's completely dirty?

When I'm dirty, my mom gives me a bath.

Yeah. Well... that's what I'm doing.

- I'm giving this town a bath.

- Bath time!

[siren wailing]

- I thought you wasn't hungry.

- Oh, I'm starving.

Then why didn't you eat

Mommy's breakfast?

Because if I ate your mommy's breakfast,

I'd end up a fat f***ing bastard

like everybody else in this town.

Let's just pretend Uncle Zeke

didn't say that, okay?

- Okay.

- [footsteps approaching]

Hey, Sally.

Do you mind if we drop her off at school

on the way to work?

No, not at all.

Get in the back, you fat f***in' bastard.

- Excuse me?

- [chuckles]

That's real nice. That's real nice.

You're a nice little girl.

[boy speaking indistinctly]

[gun firing, glass breaking]

- [clock ticking]

- [takes deep breath]

You know,

I'm a police officer just like you.

I may not be the sheriff,

but I'm a deputy sheriff.

[starts engine]

[groaning]

[groans]

[woman on TV] Little detail

is known of this latest killing,

but the police have identified

the two remaining suspects

in the First Mackey Bank robbery.

Ed Burton and Andrew Sikes.

The owner of the bank, Judge Dawkins,

could not be reached for comment.

But it's now clear that Tuesday's

dramatic shoot-out at the FMB

is anything but over.

- As for the victim, Chris Morrow...

- [phone ringing]

- [mutes TV]

- [phone beeps]

Hey! Listen, you've got to come

and get this money out of here

and give me that tape.

Then just get lost to wherever

the hell you guys are getting lost to.

Don't tell me where.

I don't want to know.

What? But, Ed... Hey, come on!

First, you send me to that motel.

Then, you stick me with this damn bag?

Whoa! No, no, no! We had a deal!

You... Hello? Hello?

[Zeke] So, what's the story?

Looks like our bank bandits had a dispute

over how to split the proceeds.

Or never planned to split 'em

with this Morrow guy.

[Reed] Oh, Chris.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Your partner doesn't seem

too comfortable around bodies.

Yeah, well, he knew the guy.

You seem all right.

- Yeah, well, I knew the guy.

- Meaning?
