Deadfall

What would home look like?

L don't know.

A farmhouse in the valley,

l guess,

like the one we grew up in,

Liza and l.

L remember hiding

in the orchard at night

looking down

at the lighted windows,

waiting for our daddy

to fall asleep

just so we could

go back inside.

Do you remember that, Liza?

Hmm?

Do you remember that?

L'd imagine him passing out

with one of his

Lucky Strikes in his hand,

the house catching fire,

the orchard,

the whole valley burning up.

So, how's it feel, Liza?

Your first big score?

L don't know.

Excited, nervous,

like l'm spying on someone,

someone doing something dirty.

Yeah, l know what you mean.

Shame.

Lt's all right, little sis.

Lt's a good sign

when you feel a little bad.

Liza?

Liza, can you hear me?

- Liza?

- L can hear you.

Are you in pain?

No. l think

l'm all right.

Theo?

Theo should've worn

his safety belt.

Sh*t.

Radio 234, TA on Highway 131.

Liza, can you move?

L think so.

- Then be ready to.

- Okay.

Are you okay?

Can you hear me?

Sir, l hope you can forgive me.

Addison?

Liza, get the money.

Liza, now!

See if you can get to your bag.

Get anything warm.

L'm sure that officer called for backup,

at least an ambulance.

We can't be foolish now,

you understand?

- Do you have the money?

- Mm-hmm. Most of it.

- Do you have your health?

- L think so.

Let's not dally.

Mills! Let's go.

Pack it up.

You're out of here.

Yo, you be cool, white boy.

- Yeah.

- You be cool out there, man.

- Yeah!

- Come on, keep going!

You got your papers?

You know how to get

your car out of impound?

L'm okay.

Thanks.

Going home to see your folks

for Thanksgiving?

L don't know.

Just let me out of here.

Hello?

Hello?

Dad, it's Jay.

Dad, are you there?

Hello, son.

How you been?

Decent.

Listen, l'm in the middle

of something.

L'll get your mother.

Who is it?

Hello?

Mom, it's me.

Oh! Oh, my goodness.

Hi, honey!

How are you?

L'm out.

- What?

- This morning. Good behavior.

Oh, my God.

That's wonderful.

Then you'll be here

for Thanksgiving tomorrow?

Oh! l'll make it nice, honey,

just the way it used to be.

What about Dad?

Your father loves you, Jay.

He just has a hard time

showing it.

Listen, if it's more

comfortable tomorrow morning,

he'll be gone hunting.

We can talk about it then.

L just need the keys

to the cottage, if that's okay.

Oh, sure. They're here.

Just come and get them.

Do you need money?

Are you in trouble?

Mom, l've got to go.

Read the sign!

Oh, sh*t.

Jay.

"Mohawk" Mills.

Jay.

Just Jay.

Time really flies by.

Lt didn't fly by for me.

Well, come on in, kid.

Just watching some tape

on a new fighter.

Yeah, you were

really something then.

No one threw

a left hook harder.

You weren't even there, Ronnie.

How'd you end up with my medal?

L just figured

l'd hang on to it,

you know, for safekeeping.

Right.

Looks good on you, kid.

- When did you get out?

- Couple of hours ago.

Wow, you came straight here.

L'm honored.

Who tipped off the boxing

commission, Ronnie?

Hell if l know.

Well, how come l was the only one

that took the fall?

How come you were

never indicted?

A lot of questions.

L had a lot of time

to think of them.

L want the money you owe me.

How do you figure

l owe you money, kid?

- The f***ing fight, Ronnie!

- Okay, l get it.

Remember, kid,

you were like a son to me.

L don't got a lot right now,

but l've got some.

Some's better than none, right?

Lt's not much,

but it's all l got right now.

Are you f***ing stupid?

Do you think you can come in here

and make demands?

You're on parole!

You don't dare touch me.

You could've been

a great f***ing loser!

We could've made

a lot of money together.

See, the way l figure,

you owe me.

Ronnie.

Oh, Jesus.

What's your emergency?

Hello?

Ls anybody there?

Stay on the line with me

if you can hear me.

We'll dispatch a car

to this address.

Jay? Hey, man!

Long time no see!

Hey. Sorry, man.

Jay? Hey!

What's your problem?

Hey, watch it, man!

L told Jay to stop by

tomorrow morning.

L see.

Don't do this, Chet.

Lt's not fair.

He turned his back

on his family.

Wonder who that is.

- Hi, Hanna!

- Hi!

- Hi, Sheriff Mills.

- Not me.

- My spurs are hung.

- Oh!

Lt's so good to see you guys.

- Seems like it's been forever.

- Look at you.

What a pretty young woman

you turned into.

You're the spitting

image of your mom.

L remember my mom and dad

used to take me here

for Thanksgiving

when l was little.

Jay and l used to always feed

all those leftover bones and things

to that big pig you guys had.

Jay was always

going on about...

So, uh, what brings you

out here now?

Oh, um, we actually

have a bad situation.

L wanted to give

you guys a heads up.

What do you mean by bad?

Late last night,

one of the tribal casinos

down in Mt. Pleasant

was robbed.

Two armed suspects

wearing masks.

Anyone hurt?

Around 6:
00 this morning,

a state trooper came upon

an accident site

a ways south of us.

And when backup arrived,

they found the trooper shot to death.

Oh, my God.

One of the suspects

died in the crash.

At least one more took

to the national forest here.

We're setting up roadblocks

and sending in search teams,

but it is possible

he could slip through,

so we're just letting

all the families out here know.

Well, it's a huge area.

He'd never make it
