Two Men in Town
1
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Sheriff Agati, contact Border Patrol.
Three possible illegals bearing
straight north.
Do you have any more
fragile in there?
- No, senora.
- No?
- No, that's the last of it.
- Okay.
Goes right through
to the back on the left.
Second door.
Thanks.
You guys want a pop?
No, thanks.
You can leave that
right in the middle there.
Careful, it's fragile.
Morning, Sheriff.
You have no right to arrest
illegal immigrants.
The law is the law.
Any of you have a badge?
Okay, los bajo.
You may not speak to illegals.
You may not touch them,
you may not point any
kind of weapon at them.
And you absolutely
may not fire on them.
All you're allowed to do
You can't break the law
to enforce the law.
I could arrest
every single one of you.
- Get some water for these fellas.
- Yes, sir.
And break this camp down.
Now!
You got half an hour to pack
this up and get out of here.
Morning, sir.
How are you?
I'm so happy to be
with you today, my son.
- Thank you for coming.
- You are very welcome.
You have taken the first step.
And you are ready to go.
Remember, redemption
is always possible
for the man who desires it,
my brother.
Now I know that
you can control your anger
and your hatred.
I wanted to give you this.
It won't work miracles,
however, it can help you
see better when it is dark.
Thank you.
And I want you to have this.
This is the crescent.
It means "light in the midst
of the darkness."
As you had your difficult days,
you will have your bright days,
God willing, yet to come.
You have done your time.
You are going to be a free man.
Don't ever be afraid
of your new life.
Here, this is for you.
Okay, you will take care now.
Take care.
Thank you.
Agent Smith. Supervisor Jones
is expecting me.
- Ah.
- Supervisor Jones?
Please, call me Paul.
Right this way.
So why New Mexico?
Well, it's warm, dry.
Peace and quiet.
Ooh, I hope you find it.
What, 360 days of sun,
are you kidding?
Please, this way.
Here's your office.
Maria Perez, Emily Smith.
Oh, pleased to meet you, Maria.
Hi.
So, what kind of reinsertion program
do you guys have here?
I don't have the staff, money,
or time to be a social worker.
Here's your badge, car keys.
There are your case files.
First one's in there, have fun.
Thanks.
Richard Wayne?
Please.
taking care of you from now on.
After you, sir.
So we're not going to cause each other
any problems then, are we,
Richard, hmm?
No, ma'am. You're not going
to have any problems with me.
Just look at me.
I'm going to be dead soon, anyway.
No.
I got no urges.
I couldn't get it up even if I tried.
So why...
So... So why can't I spend
my last year of parole in Ohio?
What's in Ohio?
My family.
That's all I'm asking for.
I told that to the other guy
before he quit.
He couldn't care less.
Hmm.
Well, I appreciate
your situation, Mr. Wayne.
I'll see what I can do.
Thanks, Miss Smith.
Thank you very much.
Now you take care of yourself.
Don't believe a word that comes
out of that old perv's mouth.
Well, where's the harm
in sending him to Ohio?
- All clear.
- He's all clear.
Open it up.
Mr. Garnett?
I'm Emily Smith,
your parole officer.
I'm here to transport you
to your post-release orientation.
Check.
2,800 for the work you did
while serving your time,
and $200 in gate money.
- You're ready to roll?
- Yes.
Congratulations on your release.
Thanks.
I'm sorry.
2nd WOMAN:
Or you're going
to go back to jail!
That's it.
Here's a swab.
Take a seat, sir.
So you've had five incarcerations.
First conviction, age 11.
Three more as a minor.
You served 18 years
of a 21-year sentence
for killing a sheriff's deputy
at the Mexican border.
Your mother,
adoptive mother, lives...
lives in Eddy County,
New Mexico.
When was the last time
you had contact with her?
My plate is full.
Answer the question, sir.
When did she last visit you in jail?
She didn't.
During your three years of parole,
you may not leave Luna County
without written permission.
You may not be in possession
of a weapon of any kind.
Now, here is a list...
Can you read, sir?
This is a list of what qualifies
as a weapon.
You may not have contact
with any known criminals,
or any former criminal associates.
You recognize this guy,
Terence Saldano?
Yes.
Stay away from him.
Curfew.
You may not leave
your place of residence
between 9 P.M. and 6 A.M.
without permission.
I'm also authorized to randomly
inspect your bank account
and paycheck stubs.
Let's get you
to your accommodation.
Mr. Garnett.
You have been given
Take advantage of it.
But let me remind you
that one bad choice,
even a little one,
I'm going to put you back inside
for those remaining three years.
I hope you won't make me do that.
I won't. Trust me.
Oh, trust, sir, is something
you're going to have to earn.
Here we are.
It's at the top of those stairs.
And Garnett?
- Yeah?
- Get yourself a job.
Hey, Salvador!
Thanks.
This one's more affordable.
Like it?
Employment Office, this is Jane.
- You have a criminal record.
- Yes.
That doesn't leave us
with too many options.
How many men do you need?
All right.
They need help on a farm
near the border.
Minimum wage, no benefits.
It's okay. I'll take it.
Here's the application
and the address of the farm.
Thanks.
Parole officers work for the state,
not for the county or the sheriffs.
- What are we doing here?
- Let's face it.
Garnett did kill one of his deputies.
It'd make him feel better
for him to meet you.
- That was Agati's deputy?
- Yep.
Yep, been re-elected five times.
Welcome.
Bill Agati.
- Emily Smith, pleasure to meet you.
- Nice to see you.
Nice to see you.
Jones.
Why have you been such a stranger?
Sit down, please.
So I understand you're the parole officer
for William Garnett.
I am, sir, that's right.
You've got your hands full
trying to keep tabs on our friend.
So I've been advised.
Good, then, we're on the same page.
He's a loose cannon.
Now, with all due respect, Sheriff,
Garnett was a model prisoner.
Earned his G.E.D. and tutored
You know he converted to Islam.
Yeah, I'm aware of all that.
But for the time being,
I'm more concerned
with earthly matters.
I want to make myself very clear.
Garnett represents a danger
to this community.
And I have a responsibility
to alert the people
that a convicted cop killer
and known drug dealer
is back among them.
You really think that's called for?
Look, we both know
what's in this report.
Now we need to talk about
what's not in it.
No, I really don't think
that'll be necessary, Sheriff.
I know what I have to do.
- Do you?
- Absolutely.
Listen, I appreciate
your concern, Bill, I do.
But I've developed a certain
philosophy over the years
