Uncle John Page #3

Synopsis: John is a kindly, well-liked old man in a small rural town. John has just killed a man named Dutch. Dutch had done a lot of bad things to a lot of nice people. Nobody in town would think to implicate John - nobody but Danny, Dutch's violent drunk of a brother. John's nephew Ben arrives from Chicago on an impromptu trip to his hometown as his uncle struggles to evade Danny's growing suspicions and looming threats. In this masterfully acted tale of small-town intrigue, one man's need for revenge may cost many more their lives.

are you talking about?

He burned down

your brother's barn?

Yeah, yeah.

I drove by the other day

to tell him.

Said he was real sorry and all.

Said he saw hell,

and he was real sorry

and all now.

Jesus Christ, Carl,

when will you...

I mean, that's a pretty god

damn big one, don't you think?

Yeah, yeah, a big one.

Well, I know he was talking

to damn near everyone.

Surprised you

didn't know that one.

Well, I heard some of it.

I mean,

but not the whole god damn barn.

Ah, he was out to ray Reynolds

about the money

he stole from him.

Just the other night,

he was down in the bar

pulling damn near everyone aside

on a real mission, apparently.

He come out to see you, John?

No.

No, I haven't, uh...

I haven't talked to Dutch

in years now.

Well, I imagine he will be

or would be or would have been.

Oh, you know.

Oh, you know,

all the stories with...

Well, you know.

People always said

he was with Dede, you know?

- You know.

- Yeah, well, I...

I heard plenty.

Most of that,

just not about the barn.

Danny, you know,

ain't none too happy

about these Dutch confessions.

He, uh, hasn't seen the light

or whatever like his brother,

you know?

Danny maybe killed Dutch

himself, huh... to shut him up?

- No.

- That right, Ace?

No, I'm just...

I'm just saying.

At least he didn't burn down

your barn.

God damn it, Carl, you...

Jesus.

And, um... and so...

So if I just have something

that he can tug on with.

If he's acting aggressively,

we'll just... he'll just

take it out on the tugging.

You know, when I look

in his eyes in those moments,

his eyes are not

the "I want to kill you"

sort of eyes of a creature

that's trying to hurt you.

His eyes are sort of

in the kind of like...

- Hi. Oh, f***.

- Sh*t.

- I'm sorry.

- Oh, man, no.

- Hey, flip that sh*t over, man.

- That's my bad.

- There you go.

- Ooh, that's a lot of coffee.

It's okay, it's my bad. F***.

Do you have paper towels?

Here you go.

That should be good.

Thanks a lot, Teddy.

- I got this.

- Perfect.

All right, yep.

That's all we need is that.

- Here, take a little bit more.

- Yeah, maybe.

Time is of the essence here.

- Okay, I got this.

- There you go.

Here, you got that end?

I'll be the skewers.

Go for it, yeah.

Oh, yeah, got to double it.

Triple it!

Yeah. Yo, hustle.

- This is enough.

- No, no, no, no.

- This is good.

- This is not nearly enough.

Need more, Mike.

Got to have it.

I'm proud of you. Keep going.

He came to work really high,

so I have to f*** with him.

- That's mean.

- I don't know about mean, but...

I'm moving, man.

Okay.

- Katelyn, right?

- Uh, just Kate.

Okay.

We got to be nearing the end

here, right, man?
