So I ain't goin' to get nowhere in a car.

I want to try getting this boat down.

See if we can get it in the water.

See, with a boat like this,

I can make it to the Gulf in two days.

Heck, from there, I can get anywhere.

But I need a boat at least this big

to make it on the open water.

It's got no title, no owner,

nobody lookin' for it.

It's my best shot.

Who'd you kill?

Just a bad piece of business.

Y'all don't need to hear about it.

I need to hear about it.

Juniper, she...

She made a mistake.

Hooked up with this guy.

He was no good. His name was...

Hutchins. His family owns a chain of

restaurants down in Texas.

Where were you?

I was around, but

me and Juniper was on the outs.

She met him, he sold her on a pack of lies,

he got her pregnant.

That's when he started

showin' who he really was.

He dropped her down a flight of stairs

after whoopin' her half to death.

She lost the baby, he made it so...

Doctors say she can't even have

children no more.

There are things you can get away with

in this world and there are things you can't.

I tracked him down,

found him in a little motel

outside of San Antonio, he was there

with another woman. That's...

That's where it happened.

So I understand if you boys

don't want to help me no more.

But I need this boat.

And I need to get it into the water, fast.

I made a list of things we're going to need.

What you think?

You did it for her?

To protect her?

Yeah.

What you think?

I think you want us to run around,

stickin' our necks out,

getting everything you need

just so you can take our boat.

That's about it.

What do we get out of it?

What you want?

What about that pistol?

Only two things I got out here

worth anything.

This shirt.

And this pistol.

And I can't give you this shirt,

'cause I need it for protection.

But if you help me get this

boat in the water, the pistol,

it's yours.

What kind is it?

A .45.

Got to get this boat floatin' first.

All right.

(BOTH SPITTING)

All right, y'all scrounge

what you can off this list,

but if we're gonna do this right,

we're gonna need more help.

Can you fetch Tom for me?

Tom Blankenship?

Yeah, I was hopin' to let that

old assassin sit this one out.

We're gonna need him

to get things that y'all can't.

Can you find him?

I know where he lives,

but I've never talked to him.

Just tell him my name, he'll know.

MUD:
Hey, boys.

Thanks.

Don't lose my pistol.

You coming?

Nah, I'll watch the boat.

Why are you huntin' me?

Are you deaf, boy?

I said why are you huntin' me?

I ain't huntin' you.

What's your business here?

I come to find you.

I got a message for you.

You Senior's boy?

Yes, sir.

What you got to say to me
