Now get him the f*** outta here!

Get him now!

Come on.

Goddamn you.

J.B., don't you push me!

- Get off him.

- Hey!

What are you looking at,

black man?

I'm looking at a white man.

That's right, a reaI white man.

Take a good look.

Now, get him outta here, boy.

Come on, you get outta here, too.

Go on, get!

Oh, sh*t.

I'm sorry, Christie.

Oh, I'm sorry, honey.

Oh, goddamn.

- Howdy, Buck.

- Hello, Roscoe.

I'm sure sorry about Christie.

They're just playing with you,

you know.

Soon enough, they're gonna kill ya.

You ever stop to think

if you hadn't come back here,

none of this would've happened?

If you hadn't gone into Rosales' bar,

maybe you wouldn't

have gone to state prison.

It was self-defense.

No, you don't get the slammer

for self-defense.

Well, you were there.

You saw what happened.

But it don't matter now,

does it?

Buck, that shotgun's

a parole violation.

Well, come on and take me in.

Take me in!

You don't know, do you, kid?

You're already dead.

Do me a favor, huh?

Get outta this town.

Let these maggots have it.

I'll fix up this plane, and I'll fly you

the hell outta here myself.

I'm not running.

Well, I am in a few more days.

Get outta here before they find out

where you are and blow up my Stearman.

UntiI Jen is strong enough to traveI,

I'd like to have a guard on her.

Is there anybody you can trust?

No.

Hey...

I'll see what I can do, okay?

Okay, thanks.

You're gonna be able

to go home in a few days, okay?

And while I'm not here, Jimmy here

is gonna stay and take care of you.

He's a reaI nice guy,

and he loves paper dolls.

Don't you?

Oh, yeah. You bet.

They're my favorite.

Yeah, okay.

- Daddy?

- What?

Do I have to go home?

I'm scared.

We'll work something out.

Take care now.

I just got your...

Shh. She's trying to go to sleep.

Come on out in the hall.

Night, honey.

This is Charlie Henderson, my man.

He's gonna watch things for us.

- Good.

- This is Buck.

- How you doing, Buck?

- Thanks a lot.

- Where you going?

- You got some change?

Yeah, I think.

What... what do you want it for?

I'm gonna call the county D.A.

Yeah, well, what does me being

on probation have to do with anything?

Look, I served my time.

Now I'm in trouble

and I need help.

No, my parole officer is the sheriff.

He's the frigging problem.

That's what I've been trying

to tell you!

No, you're not listening to me!

Look, these people

killed my wife,

and nobody's doing

a thing about it.

And my daughter's in the...

Yes, there were witnesses.

What about me, for chrissake?

- Damn it.

- Where you going?

I'm gonna go get a witness.

I suppose you need my help.
