It's only five shots, though,

so the Steyr

is your secondary weapon.

You get another eight rounds,

plus you got the stopping power of a .45.

Hey.

Hey, man.

I know this is personal.

That's how you'll fail.

No speeches.

No talking.

You point the gun.

You shoot the gun.

Hey, I threw a few MREs in here.

Uh...

Nice.

I lost mine.

Or shot holes in it.

I'm sorry...

I brought all this to you.

I'm glad you did.

Otherwise you'd be dead.

You know what I mean.

If it were my family, I might do the same.

I don't know.

But I'm not helping out

'cause this is right.

This is ugly, man.

If you ever find that Polaroid

of us and the stripper,

do me a favor.

Yeah?

Destroy it.

Okay.

I've no regrets

No regrets, No regrets

I'm living the life

of a king

I've no regrets

I've been a lot of places

And I've seen a lot

of things

I've no regrets

Even when I'm sad

You can still hear me sing

If it should be, I'll say

That he calls me today

Well, I've no regrets

For this life I live

I've no regrets

No regrets, no regrets

Now, how lucky can I be?

And I sure hope, oh, yeah

That you have love like me

A happier person

I know you'll never see

If it should be, I'll say

That he calls me today

I've no regrets

for this life I live

No regrets

I've got friends

And I got my health

Monday. 7:
38 P.M.

Hey, when you're home,

stay there.

Had to swap out a tire

to tow her four down.

Hello, this is Officer Downey

with Community Corrections

calling to reach Wade Cleland.

You had a urine analysis scheduled this

morning, which you did not attend.

- Yeah, shut up.

- I'm fine. My leg.

I'm with him.

He's here.

Why don't you keep that thing

pointed right at my face?

I'm not going anywhere.

Look away.

Turn your head.

It's all over

as far as I'm concerned.

You hear that, sis?

Don't go starting any...

End of messages.

Hey, you've reached

the Cleland residence.

You know what to do

and when to do it,

so get to it.

End of messages.

Hey, you've reached...

Hey, you've reached

the Cleland residence.

You know what to do

and when to do it,

so get to it.

Hello.

It's me.

F***!

- There's a message!

- Play it!

Jesus.

Hello. It's me.

Um, Dwight Evans.

Wade is dead.

Motherf***er, shut the f*** up.

And... Teddy is dead, too.

He told me everything.

- I'm gonna f***ing kill him!

- Goddamn it!

I didn't kill him.

I mean,

I... I guess I did.

But it doesn't matter.

By my count, that's two of yours

and two of mine.

I don't know how this ends,

but I'd like it to...

Um...

...or it can keep going.

I just need my sister

to be left out of this.

That's why we're going

to Pittsburgh,

you dumb son of a b*tch!
