Bad Country Page #3

Just like somebody painted them.

Did anybody come at you?

Not yet, but it's in the mail.

I can feel it f***ing coming, man.

Hey, Jesse...

- I'm sorry that I put you back here.

- No, you ain't.

No, you ain't.

I took you into my home.

I tried to clean you up

and you steal from me?

Take my f***ing diamonds?

'Cause of you, I missed

the birth of my son.

And you're lucky you're my brother.

- Hey, Mike.

- Hey, Bud.

This is Special Agent Martin Fitch.

He's in from Washington

with the Attorney General.

Martin. Just call me Martin.

Martin here will be soliciting

Jesse's case for a federal sponsor.

How long you been with the

Attorney General, Fitch?

Just over a year.

Sit.

I want to assure you that

my education and experience

is more than adequate to handle

a case of this potential.

Is that right?

- Why don't we get to the particulars?

- Right.

To get Jesse a federal sponsor,

we need something substantial.

A bait.

In the Justice Department,

we have this mission statement.

We decide who the target is,

what's the threat assessment,

a cost value, over what timetable

it's gonna take place,

which target do we go after first.

See, we don't want to miss a big target

hitting a smaller target, you understand?

Not really.

Hey, Bud.

- Hey.

- Ready to order?

Yeah.

I'll take a house salad.

Roquefort on the side.

You want what?

It's a dressing.

I lost my appetite.

Bud.

Bud, what the f*** was that about?

I set this up.

If the Feds want to help,

that's fine, but not him.

This case is beyond our capacity.

It requires resources we don't have.

They ain't taking us serious, Mike.

They send us some kid with less

than a year under his belt!

He don't even know what state he's in.

You want him in charge?

You're goddamn right!

You're out on a limb with this, Bud.

It's my job to make sure you get back.

- This is bullshit.

- That may be.

But what it isn't is

open for discussion.

You got five minutes.

Yeah.

Been along time.

I heard about the arrest, Jesse.

There'll be a lot of

heat on this one.

Look. I don't want

my brother touched.

Your brother's a f***-up.

I ain't calling about your brother.

I'm calling about you.

Look, I'm asking you, Lutin.

My brother's not a problem.

You should have come to me.

Ain't none of this would have happened.

And, Jesse, I may

know what you can do.

But you know what we can do.

Understand?

- Carter.

- Hey, hon.

Hey, Ma. Mind if I call you back

in a bit? My hands are kind of tied.

I got a letter, Bud.

It's from your father.

We'll talk when you're here.

Those motherfuckers.

Nady Grace.

That you?

Why, hello there, Catfish.

What the hell happened?
