good guess. Right Charlie?

You seen her, ain't you?

You seen my wife.

No. No sir.

- No.

Don't you lie to me boy.

I ain't lying.

No sir. It was

probably just a great guess.

He is... he is a little slow.

Hey, I ain't slow!

Stay where you are.

Hey!

I said stay where you are boy.

Now you listen up

I ain't got time

to dick around with you.

Where is she at?

I don't know.

He does not know,

I already told you!

I ain't one to be

messed with, boy.

You lie

to me again

I will slice that tongue

in two. You understand?

So?

What is he doing?

He is praying.

Tell him to stop it.

Stop it!

I said stop it!

Last chance boy.

Hello sweetheart.

No...

Just a shame is what it is.

I know mom.

And her so purty too.

Every time I look around

it seems like

this person has done

killed that person,

that person has done

attacked this person.

Like we ain't got

no sense of humanity left.

I'll tell you one thing,

if your Paw was still alive

he would have had none of it!

I am just glad I ain't raising

children in this day and time.

Raising two boys

is hard enough as it is.

And then when you

got to do it on your own.

And with all this

ugliness around you.

There's violent folks

everywhere mama.

It's not like

you can run away from it.

It is just a shame is all.

Raising children

in this God forsaken place.

Ain't envious Mary Lee.

I know mama

and in your time.

Lord knows it ain't my time.

Well,

Good morning sugar.

Good morning.

You want some grits?

Sure.

Sit down

I will fix you a bowl.

Where is your brother?

Sleeping I think.

Charlie?

(Local woman found dead)

Where are you going?

Neal!

That is more like it.

Where are they all going?

The cemetery.

The same place all dead people go.

Idiot.

Know what I heard?

I heard when they found her body

they did not find a head.

So they put her

in the coffin without one.

That's why they did not open

the casket at the funeral.

Well, there is nothing else to

see here.

Neal?

Neal it wasn't my fault.

Was it?

Neal,

can you tell me

it wasn't my fault.

Neal.

Neal!

Now tell me

it wasn't my fault.

Neal.

The End
