And I wonder why my kids won't

do this sh*t for a living.

Move it. Come on.

Go, go, go.

You wanna call it in?

Oh, it's gonna burn out

when it hits the Brazos.

No one to call

around here, anyway.

These boys is on their own.

I still don't see

the problem, Toby.

You still don't...

Well, the problem is,

thanks to you

we have to spend tomorrow

morning getting another car,

so we'll have to hit

two banks on Wednesday.

We already done three today.

Stop worrying.

Whose land is this?

Jeremy Chalker.

He lets me stay here in

exchange for shooting coyotes.

Cold beer in the fridge.

You stole my hat.

I borrowed it.

What the f*** you do to it?

What's this?

My livelihood.

We don't need all this.

Can't keep the guns

in the trailer days on end.

That's not coming

with us in the bank.

Just spoke to the teller.

She's a little shook up.

Perp took her driver's license,

threatened her family

if she talked to us.

Mind if I ask you

your name, young lady?

Natalie Martinez.

Well, Natalie,

I want you to know

we're gonna have some officers

watching your house,

extra careful,

till we catch these buggers.

You have my word on that.

There's more than one?

Only one man robbed the bank?

Yeah.

What'd he look like?

He was dressed like a cowpoke

except for the ski mask.

I think he ran to a car

that was parked out

front of the diner.

You saw the car?

It was green.

How old?

I don't know cars, mister.

Well, was it a nice

car or an okay car,

or a real piece of sh*t?

It was a real piece of sh*t.

All right.

Now, we're getting somewhere.

Oh, that looks like a man who

could foreclose on a house.

Excuse me, Natalie.

Excuse me, Mr. banker.

Natalie, I'm gonna have

the officer stay with you

till your father

arrives, all right?

Okay.

Didn't happen to have

your surveillance cameras

on this morning, did you?

Of course.

Oh, so you have

the robbery on video.

Of course we do.

What kind of bank would we be

if we didn't have

video surveillance?

Oh, you'd be

a Texas Midlands bank.

All right, we've got video.

Care to give it a watch while I

wander over to the burger joint?

Would you order me something

while you're there?

I'm starving.

I doubt they serve pemmican.

You know I'm part Mexican, too.

Yeah, well, I'm

gonna get to that

when I'm through

with the Indian insults,

but it's gonna be a while.

You rangers are an odd bunch.

No, just him. Let's take

a look at that video.

Yeah, it's right back here.

Howdy.

Ma'am. Guess you know about

the goings-on at the bank.

I did notice.

Any out-of-towners

come through today?

Jenny Ann waited on a couple

of boys, ain't from here.

Oh?

I'll go get her.
