When was the last

time you had a damn job?

Harvey, stop!

That's enough. That's enough.

Travis.

Pick that sh*t up,

will you?

What the hell

does it look like I'm doin'?

Call Dooley.

Tell him we're gonna

be delivering Saturday.

Well, well,

look at this.

I'll be damned.

Near about

cut off, looks like.

We can take him down there

and stick him in the river,

maybe he's fallen,

drowned himself.

Another one.

Even Sheriff Spence...

All right.

This ain't

gonna hurt much.

Give him some water.

God.

You is lucky.

Didn't tear any ligaments up.

Barely grazed the bone.

Don't get infected,

you'll be fine.

What did you do?

Just shaved a little

skin off of your leg.

Can't even

tell it's a trap now.

Looks like you just

slipped and skinned it up.

Who's your people?

My daddy's

Harvey Shelton.

Is that right?

I would've

figured you to be stouter.

You must favor your ma.

I'll need to get to a doctor.

In time.

Stick him down there in the

river before it's too late.

- We ain't doin' that,

so shut up about it. Sh*t.

Now, the sooner me and

you get a few things clear,

the quicker you get to

a doctor, you understand?

Yes, sir.

All right.

Anybody asks,

you slipped

climbing up the gorge.

Slipped...

You never saw no crop,

you was never on my land,

damn sure never saw me.

- Got it?

- Yes, sir.

He ain't gonna do it.

Soon as he gets to that

hospital, he'll be testifying...

No, I won't. I won't, I won't.

I swear to you, Mr. Toomey.

Mr. Toomey,

please, I swear to you.

I swear to you,

I won't say nothing, I swear.

Pick him up.

Come on.

Sh*t!

- God!

- Get up.

One more thing.

Who did you sell

those plants to?

Leonard Shuler.

- Does he know where you got 'em?

- No, sir.

All right.

Now,

I told you I'd get you here.

I kept my word,

you see that you keep yours.

- Carlton?

- Professor.

What brings you around?

Come on in.

Hubert.

I thought you got called up.

My number

one son here is 4-F.

Draft board didn't say why.

I got my own

suspicions about that.

Well, you're

better off here, anyway.

What can I do for you?

I got some business

to discuss with you.

Okay.

Especially seeing how you

got a new supplier and all.

That boy.

I didn't know you was growing.

To be fair, our crops

are new things. His idea.

Times are changin'.

We gotta give

the people what they want.

Speaking of which,

seven fourteens of

black beauties, even split.

$100 will cover it.

There you go.

Much obliged, sir.

Hey, babe.

Still with you,

I see.

Must cut into

your profits, though.

She been rode hard,

but she's still pretty.

We'll be happy to take her off your

hands if you're ever so inclined.
