Richard. Richard.
- Yeah?
Stay here.
- Richard?
- God...
Ah!
- Damn it.
- How you feeling, son?
Peachy, aside from almost
shitting myself.
Yeah, must have been
a scary thing
for a man like you.
A civilian, I mean.
His name was, uh,
Freddy Russel.
- You know him?
I know shit
when I step in it.
I'm gonna have to ask you
to come down to the station,
make out a formal statement,
okay?
- Okay-
- Now what?
- It'll go to the grand jury.
They'll look over
your statement,
your wife's, mine,
and they'll nobill you.
- What about the courts?
- It'll never get that far.
It was self-defense.
- He was unarmed.
- Well, you didn't know that.
It's called "fear of life."
Uh, legally,
he might as well have been
pointing a gun at you.
Look...
He's a wanted felon.
You're an upstanding citizen
without a record.
Sometimes the good guy wins.
- Hmm.
We're gonna have to keep that
awhile, okay?
- Belonged to my dad.
- He was a good man.
He'd have been proud.
Of what?
My finger slipped.
- You Okay?
- Uh-uh.
As I prepare
To lay down
Here alone, dear
I can't help
But to keep wishing
That you were here
I done you wrong
But now you are gone
What can I do now'?
Don't make me live
The rest of my life
Forgetting you now
It's too bad
I didn't realize
Until you were gone
Just what it meant
To have a love like you
For my own
But now that you've gone
I know I can't go on
Living here without you now
Don't make me live
The rest of my life
Forgetting you now
Oh, now
Come on, bud.
Let's go back to bed.
It will be so hard,
I know
But listen, baby
- Jordan, son, stop jiggling.
Now, you can't take that
to school with you.
- Why?
- Just because.
- Because why?
Because I'm your father
and I said so.
- Bang!
- Hey.
- You dead!
- Don't you say that to me.
I don't want to snap at you,
son,
but I don't like that game.
Come on.
Let's go.
- Dane's Frames.
For you, Mr. Dane.
Morning.
- Morning.
Hello?
- It's me.
- Just a minute.
Richard...
it's all over the school.
about it.
Shit.
Maybe you should go home.
- I can't.
I have to talk
with the police later.
- What the hell for?
Uh...
I don't know.
They-they want a statement
from me.
- How are you feeling?
- Fine.
I'll see you later tonight',
okay?
- Oh, man.
That air conditioner
feels good.
Whew.
I hear you got you one
last night.
Back at the paper, they told me.
I couldn't believe it was you
at first.
I didn't think
you had it in you.
- Hey, take it easy, Jack.
It's not something I'm proud of.
Well, it's nothing
to be ashamed of.
Some son of a bitch
breaks into my house,
his teeth out of his ass.
Shoot, man, if it was me-
- It wasn't you.
It was me.
Now, Jack, if you got mail,
leave it.
Otherwise, I'm busy.
- Here you go, y'all.
Y'all need anything else
right now'?
When that world
Has walked on me
- Uh, beer.
- Little early, isn't it?
- Not today.
If there's not
Enough money
Well, she smiles
That's all right
- Right this way.
Tells me that's
What your woman
Is for:
- Howdy, Rich.
How you feeling?
Like a bucket of shit.
- Shake it off.
- So what happens now'?
- We bury the son of a bitch.
Only me
- When?
- Tomorrow,
noon, Greenley's Cemetery,
courtesy of the county.
- He got any family?
- He got a daddy
in Huntsville Prison.
He just got paroled.
Shit don't fall
far from the tree.
She tells me that's...
And I can get these
installed today?
- Mm.
- Ted.
- Hey, Rich.
We'll be out of your hair
