- Hopefully not at all.

- Roger that.

All right.

Let's see what we got.

Enfield Mark III, Circuit Judge,

a Mosin,

my current personal favorite.

Bolt Action.

It's heavy.

Plus surplus ammo's cheap.

- How much do you weigh?

- I don't know.

All right.

Picked this up this year.

Shoots its own

9-millimeter cartridge.

But you got to load it

slide back with a stripper clip.

Nothing that's special to you.

Just whatever's

the least expensive.

All right.

Here.

Mini-14.

Gun show, no papers.

It's carbine.

That just means it's short.

Semi-auto.

It fires every time

you pull the trigger.

20 rounds, very reliable.

And I got extra ammo.

You recognize it?

It's the A-Team gun, man,

from the show.

Except theirs were stainless.

What's up with that?

It's an arrow wound.

So...

You're, like, in this.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

'Cause I was just blowing smoke

up your ass, bro.

Thought about calling the cops.

Please don't.

Not yet.

I don't have a speech.

I just need you

to trust me, please.

I do trust you, bro.

But I can't send you off

like this.

I could train you.

CQB, man.

Surprise, speed,

violence of action.

I just need...

I just need somewhere quiet

right now.

I got 16 acres.

Take the road we came in on

till it ends.

You'll see the targets.

You ever killed anyone?

Two on purpose.

Can I get a thing of water?

Stay in the trunk.

That's easy.

My leg's broke.

Were you coming for me

or for her?

- Who?

- You came to my sister's house.

Were you coming for me

or for her?

Look, man.

You.

Why didn't you just

call the police,

send me to jail?

Same as you.

Just keeping it in-house.

What if I surrender?

I accept.

To the police.

You don't get to do what you

did and just lock yourself up.

Sh*t, I'd give you props

if he wasn't my brother,

or if he deserved it.

Which one are you again?

Teddy.

Who's the boy in the limousine?

He's just a boy.

Not a concern.

He said something about Wade.

He said he didn't think

he'd hurt anyone.

Couple dead n*ggers

might disagree.

He just meant Wade

didn't kill your parents.

That's not true.

Well, that settles it, then.

That's how this works, man.

The one with the gun

gets to tell the truth.

Problem is, you don't know sh*t.

Tell me.

I should've done the time.

Are you saying you killed them?

Nope.

What are you trying to do?

What are you trying to do, man?

Goddamn!

Fish in a barrel!

Stop it!

Whatever you're trying

to say, say it.

I didn't do it.

Wade didn't do it.

Our father, Big Wade,

shot your dad.

You don't f*** with a

man's wife, his family.

Whatever my dad did,

he did with your mom.

Together... it was a mistake.

Well, sh*t's not a mistake.
