00:00:00There's what's real, what isn't, and what you believe.
00:00:26New love like a diamond, like a twinkling star, but it's a whole lot of heartache to
00:00:47get to where we are.
00:00:49Cause every man is a myth, every woman a dream, watch your little heart get crushed when the
00:01:00truth gets in between.
00:01:04Every bond is a bond to sorrow, your blue sky turns grey, everything you love will be
00:01:11taken away.
00:01:12Cry for your mama, cry for your dad, cry for everything you know they never had.
00:01:43Magazines said that grandpa killed a black man in 1968, said the man raped a white woman.
00:01:56Grandpa was a sheriff then, the only crime he never solved.
00:02:00They say it's because he did it.
00:02:43Ugh.
00:02:57What was that?
00:02:59It's called studying.
00:03:00It looked like a card.
00:03:04Get your shoes on.
00:03:06I'm already ready.
00:03:09What?
00:03:10It's a pen, you were writing a card.
00:03:12Is it for Esmeralda?
00:03:17Did you get her a present?
00:03:19It's just a card, okay?
00:03:21So, it's a secret.
00:03:22Stop.
00:03:39You have such a crush on her.
00:03:42Why do you still have that pen?
00:03:44It's your pen of love.
00:03:46You know, I think you're the one who has a crush on her.
00:03:49That's gross, you love her.
00:03:54Some things are private, Bug.
00:03:56You think you're supposed to know everything about everything.
00:04:01How do you know you love Esmeralda?
00:04:04She makes me think about really scary shit.
00:04:07Like getting married and having kids someday.
00:04:15She makes me want a kid.
00:04:17You know that?
00:04:19Sounds super gay, right?
00:04:23But things are supposed to be better than what we had growing up.
00:04:26I mean, you're too young to even remember Dad being home.
00:04:34Is it okay that she's Mexican?
00:04:37It doesn't really come up that much.
00:04:39I mean, it's not really about that for us.
00:04:45Did you fart?
00:04:47What? No.
00:04:49It's just the way the truck smells.
00:04:53You should roll your windows down.
00:04:55She'll think you shit in your pants.
00:04:57Or me.
00:04:58Language.
00:05:03Hey.
00:05:27Hey.
00:05:30He got you a card.
00:05:32Really, Bug?
00:05:34Yeah.
00:05:43What does it say?
00:05:45It's private.
00:05:49Hold on.
00:05:52Hello?
00:05:55Your mom says you should stop forgetting your phone.
00:05:58You forgot to remind me to get my phone.
00:06:01Yeah, I hope he's okay.
00:06:03Okay, here's Rick.
00:06:05He's your grandfather.
00:06:10Hello?
00:06:11You want to try?
00:06:15What's wrong with Grandpa?
00:06:17He's in the hospital.
00:06:19Okay.
00:06:20But he'll be okay.
00:06:21Brush your lips like this.
00:06:24Yeah, yeah, okay.
00:06:27Now rub them together.
00:06:31Perfect.
00:06:34Okay, bye.
00:06:39You okay?
00:06:40Yeah.
00:06:44I wonder if I'm gonna let him go home.
00:06:47Grandpa?
00:06:51All that will be left of me
00:06:54a thousand years from now
00:06:57will be a plastic shape like you.
00:07:02Uh, I don't know.
00:07:05I don't know.
00:07:07I don't know.
00:07:09I don't know.
00:07:11I don't know.
00:07:13I don't know.
00:07:15Earl, the drugs are making you all philosophical.
00:07:18No, it's my age doing that.
00:07:29We can put a bed in the living room for him.
00:07:34He can't stay in the house with us.
00:07:37Is Grandpa gonna come live with us?
00:07:39No.
00:07:41We can talk later, okay?
00:07:43Okay.
00:07:57What the heckle in Jekyll are you doing up there?
00:08:02Mike looks fine.
00:08:05Thank you.
00:08:07I'm gonna go check the mixer box.
00:08:09Can you keep on talking so we'll know when it's working?
00:08:11Okay.
00:08:13Talking.
00:08:15Talking about how it is that Pastor Kelly
00:08:18thinks it's a good idea to let a little girl run our A.V. stuff.
00:08:23Hate the sin, love the sinner.
00:08:26Hate the sin, love the sinner.
00:08:31Bug?
00:08:32Anything?
00:08:34Bug?
00:08:36And I continue to talk.
00:08:39No one can stop me.
00:08:41Not up here.
00:08:44But when I'm here, they have to listen.
00:08:53We gotta go see Esmeralda.
00:08:55She wants to talk.
00:08:57Don't be one of those girls who wants to talk, Bug.
00:09:01Dad doesn't want Grandpa living with us, does he?
00:09:04That's what you and Mom are talking about.
00:09:07Why does Dad feel that way?
00:09:10Is it because of what Grandpa did?
00:09:13Can you just tell me?
00:09:14You know what, if you figure any of that out,
00:09:16you make sure and let me know.
00:09:17Okay, Bug?
00:09:30Years ago on an April day
00:09:36A crowd gathered for miles around
00:09:41Over a thousand I heard one say
00:09:48All around me on the square in town
00:10:00Just head over there toward the fireplace.
00:10:03I should clean the space, I'm sorry.
00:10:07Okay, let me get that for you.
00:10:11Here.
00:10:14I used the hospital discount, right?
00:10:17I told you he can't stay here.
00:10:19Bug.
00:10:22Will you help me move this coffee table?
00:10:24Yeah.
00:10:27Dad doesn't want him here.
00:10:29Yeah, help your sister move the chair.
00:10:31Are you listening to me?
00:10:32Yeah, but I disagree with you.
00:10:34Can you do something besides dragging your ass?
00:10:36I think it should be fine for Grandpa to stay here.
00:10:39You don't understand.
00:10:40Well, I mean, either Grandpa's mad at Dad for killing someone
00:10:44or Dad hates Grandpa for thinking he killed someone, right?
00:10:48You want us to come back, Debbie?
00:10:51It's fine, just keep bringing stuff in, thank you.
00:10:53I mean, this is our house, and if we want Grandpa here,
00:10:56that's what we're gonna do.
00:10:57I don't care what Dad wants.
00:11:02Fuck it.
00:11:03Language.
00:11:04Bug, he's right, it's Dad's place too, but...
00:11:07Stop, Mom.
00:11:10I'm telling you, Mayring, I'm not pulling it.
00:11:15If it hadn't been me, it would have just been tough.
00:11:26Was Mayring mad?
00:11:31Why was Grandma mad?
00:11:34Why was Grandma mad?
00:11:40You're stealing my breath like a cat.
00:11:56Mom's here.
00:12:00You need to get dressed.
00:12:04Come on, let's get you in the bed.
00:12:16You okay?
00:12:18I just got out of one of those things.
00:12:21Over here will be fine.
00:12:23Oh, no, no, no, Earl, I gotta get you in the bed.
00:12:28Look, Grandpa, it moves up and down just like your hospital bed.
00:12:32I gotta pee.
00:12:36Do you need some help?
00:12:38I think I remember how, sweetie.
00:12:41Mom asked me to come check on you.
00:12:43I used to wipe your ass, so I think I'll be fine wiping mine.
00:12:51I'm sorry.
00:12:53It's okay.
00:12:55I'm sorry.
00:12:57I'm sorry.
00:12:59I'm sorry.
00:13:01I'm sorry.
00:13:03I'm sorry.
00:13:05I'm sorry.
00:13:07I'll be fine wiping mine.
00:13:23Morning, Bug.
00:13:26Mom said I was supposed to make sure you did your exercises at eight.
00:13:31Oh, boy.
00:13:33Took my watch off at the hospital,
00:13:35and I hadn't thought to ask your mother about where it is.
00:13:39Well, it's eight.
00:13:50Oh.
00:13:53Help me to the kitchen.
00:13:55After.
00:13:58Bug, I'll do my damn exercises.
00:14:00I want some toast.
00:14:04Mom said you were supposed to sit in this chair.
00:14:09I'll move this.
00:14:12Grab this band and pull it.
00:14:15Okay?
00:14:21Eight more.
00:14:28Aren't you getting a little old to be wearing that?
00:14:35No.
00:14:39The real one's heavier.
00:14:42How'd you know when you were right?
00:14:45When I was sheriff, you mean.
00:14:48Well, I'll tell you if you let me stop these exercises.
00:14:52Nope. You got a few more.
00:14:58Hmm.
00:15:02Girls and boys both,
00:15:05everybody's got a compass inside them.
00:15:09Well, I think my compass is truer than a lot of people's.
00:15:13I think that's why it was good.
00:15:15Plus, I just paid attention.
00:15:18Just like you do, gal.
00:15:22You see the same things I do in this house.
00:15:26I saw Rick boy putting his hand on her stomach.
00:15:32Shit, you're lying.
00:15:35I'm not.
00:15:37I'm not.
00:15:39I'm not.
00:15:41I'm not.
00:15:43I'm not.
00:15:45I'm not.
00:15:47I'm not.
00:15:49I'm not.
00:15:51I'm not.
00:15:53I'm not.
00:15:55Shit, you're like me.
00:15:58More than I'd like, you're like me.
00:16:03Don't you tell your mom about that.
00:16:06Between that baby and your daddy,
00:16:08she's got two new arrivals to fret about.
00:16:12That's one too many.
00:16:15You owe me some toast.
00:16:26Do you think it's true what they say grandpa did?
00:16:30Come on, bug.
00:16:41Look at what you made me do.
00:16:45I'm not doing it.
00:16:48I'm not doing it.
00:16:51I'm not doing it.
00:16:54I'm not doing it.
00:17:03Let it die naturally.
00:17:24I'm not doing it.
00:17:27Told you now that's true.
00:17:29Dad must think it's true.
00:17:34This magazine has got it all wrong.
00:17:39It spins it and makes it look like this terrible rapist is a victim.
00:17:47I mean, it also doesn't say exactly how he died.
00:17:52Do you want to know how he died?
00:17:58The muzzle of the gun was so close to him
00:18:04that it melted his nappy hair around the wound.
00:18:13How do you know all that?
00:18:15You can figure out anything you want if you know where to look.
00:18:19Grandpa covered up his tracks so badass nobody could ever pin it on him.
00:18:28You think he did it?
00:18:37I think he's a hero.
00:18:41You do too.
00:18:50Do you know why we always called you Bug?
00:18:54I always thought it was because I was small for my age, like a little bug.
00:19:00It's because you were always bugging me about your dad.
00:19:04Where he was and when he was coming back and what he was like.
00:19:08So I just had to start making places up.
00:19:12After a while I just told you.
00:19:16After a while I just told you the truth.
00:19:20I can't remember that.
00:19:31Get some sleep, okay?
00:19:38You still don't tell me everything.
00:19:42It's hard sometimes.
00:20:12I love you.
00:20:42I love you.
00:21:12I love you.
00:21:32Hey kiddo.
00:21:42Hey kiddo.
00:21:52I took that from your bedroom in Grandpa's house. I can put it back.
00:21:57No, don't worry about it.
00:22:01Ants.
00:22:04Hey, have you seen the movies yet?
00:22:06Hey Dad, Mom has to tell you something.
00:22:10Guys, we can talk about it when we get home. We got a long drive.
00:22:14Let's just enjoy each other's company.
00:22:17Tell them how many times you've read those books.
00:22:20A bunch of times.
00:22:21A bunch of times? You've read all of them?
00:22:24They're my favorites.
00:22:28Your dad's in there.
00:22:31I just wanted you to have as much time with your kids as you could before I told you.
00:22:37I'm sorry.
00:22:39Hi, son.
00:22:43I prayed for you.
00:22:46What happened?
00:22:48I fell off a chair.
00:22:51I'm sorry.
00:22:55Fell off a chair.
00:22:58Foolish thing.
00:23:00Got me a fake hip now.
00:23:05How long are you going to be here?
00:23:07That's up to your wife. She rules the roost here.
00:23:12She's had to be a tough woman these years.
00:23:16Well, if y'all will help me into the dining room, you can have some privacy.
00:23:21I don't want to get in the way.
00:23:29You got it?
00:23:30Oh, yeah.
00:23:34We're going to put what happened behind us.
00:23:39I'm not talking to you right now, all right?
00:23:42Today's not about you for once, okay?
00:23:44Well, I'm glad to see you got your priorities set straight.
00:23:47Only took you being in the pen eight years to figure out what's important.
00:23:52You're just a broken-down old man, you know that?
00:23:55Yes, sir, if it makes you feel better.
00:23:58Listen, you old cocksucker, I could open up on you right now,
00:24:01send you right back to that fucking hospital and not break a goddamn thing.
00:24:03You listen to me.
00:24:04You think I killed somebody, you know goddamn well you killed somebody.
00:24:08So you think we might have bonded?
00:24:10I'm talking to you, you goddamn press.
00:24:22Could you drive, son?
00:24:24Yeah, Dad.
00:24:26Take me over to Grandpa's.
00:24:28Richard, you don't have to go.
00:24:31Wait.
00:24:32Just wait one second.
00:24:42I spilled some chocolate milk in the fellowship one, but the rest are still okay.
00:24:51Oh, I love you, my Reign.
00:24:54Come see me at Grandpa's.
00:24:57Come on, son.
00:25:08May you watch over my mom and brother and my grandfather and father.
00:25:15I'm sorry.
00:25:17It's all right, Reign.
00:25:20About the way that he acted towards you.
00:25:26I didn't get it.
00:25:30He wasn't here to see everything that you've done for us.
00:25:39Looks like my nurse is here.
00:25:41I can get him to come back.
00:26:19Here, look.
00:26:24These are the director's editions.
00:26:26Yeah?
00:26:28It's probably 15 hours of swords and fidgets.
00:26:34I don't know.
00:26:35I just thought you and your dad might like it anyway.
00:26:38I don't know.
00:26:40I know you guys like those books.
00:26:50I feel like you're trying to use me.
00:26:56No, baby, just try to let him be a father to you, okay?
00:27:04I can't decide whether to watch the behind-the-scenes stuff or start Two Towers.
00:27:09I want to watch Two Towers.
00:27:10All right.
00:27:19Your mom just bought these today.
00:27:21Did you tell her to or did she do it on her own?
00:27:29These movies are my favorites ever.
00:27:32I've never watched them with anyone like you who's read the books.
00:27:36Let's watch them, okay?
00:27:38What did your mom tell you about while I was in prison?
00:27:42She said you killed a man buried behind the church.
00:27:48Then a man came up to me, telling me how big a hero Grandpa is.
00:27:55Then he got mad at me for telling him he didn't know what the fuck he was talking about.
00:28:00He worshiped Dad.
00:28:03Not just for killing that guy, but for getting away with it.
00:28:08He was saying N-word this, N-word that.
00:28:12I eventually got mad and pushed him.
00:28:14He had a knife.
00:28:17I stabbed him right in the chin with a broken bottle.
00:28:21Cut him all up.
00:28:24Couldn't say it was self-defense, because I was the one that pushed him.
00:28:29You know the cops in town, they tried getting me off, getting people to change their story.
00:28:35It didn't work.
00:28:37That was your Grandpa, pulling strings.
00:28:41Evidence may ring. Evidence is everything.
00:29:00Dad, what are you doing?
00:29:04I'm getting stuff out of here.
00:29:07Whose house is this going to be after he's gone, huh?
00:29:11It's ours.
00:29:13It's yours.
00:29:15But it can't be yours until it's not his, you understand?
00:29:21I'm calling Mom.
00:29:25And then what?
00:29:27She calls the sheriff and I go away?
00:29:29Is that what you want? Because that's what's going to happen.
00:29:32Well, she's going to find out anyway, eventually.
00:29:36But as long as she don't find out from you, it's good enough for me.
00:29:54Beep.
00:30:22Beep.
00:30:24Beep.
00:30:28I didn't want you to know about this.
00:30:31Not yet.
00:30:37Did Mom tell you about how I used to stay in here when we slept over?
00:30:47You're trying to find a way to prove he did it.
00:30:52The man he killed was innocent, Mary.
00:30:55He never touched that woman.
00:30:58Can you prove it?
00:31:05You're too young to know about all this stuff.
00:31:08You understand that, right?
00:31:12Okay?
00:31:22Beep.
00:31:39Hey, Debra.
00:31:41Is everything okay with Bug?
00:31:43Yeah.
00:31:45I mean, it's a hard time for her.
00:31:48She keeps this place running.
00:31:53I'm ready to go.
00:32:11I think the kid section's this way.
00:32:16I can't believe this is finally happening.
00:32:23Yeah, over here.
00:32:33Okay, yeah, you can do your stuff.
00:32:36They just pull over. They're not, um...
00:32:39They're just the training.
00:32:41Gross.
00:32:53You okay?
00:32:54I'm fine.
00:33:00Why would I want us to be giving away our baby to someone we don't even know?
00:33:03Don't be this way, all right?
00:33:04It's ridiculous.
00:33:05You know, my parents don't even want me seeing you in the first place.
00:33:09We'll always be together, but just in a certain way.
00:33:13Is it a ring? Do you want a ring? I can buy you a ring.
00:33:16I'm putting this baby up for adoption.
00:33:22Adoption means you're carrying that bun in you for another, what, months?
00:33:29How's your padre gonna feel about that?
00:33:32Can he stand to see his little Chiquita loping around with a white man's baby in her?
00:33:38This is private.
00:33:41My parents will help us. I know that they will.
00:33:44It stopped being private when you let him shoot off inside you, sweetie.
00:33:49Nothing to do but for the adults to help you understand.
00:33:53Um, we are talking privately, I think...
00:33:56So you're gonna be the school whore lugging that babe around,
00:34:01and after all that, you're gonna just squirt it out onto the curb?
00:34:07No, I have relatives. I can go stay with them.
00:34:11My family will understand.
00:34:13Mexican teen pregnant. Yeah, I bet they'll understand.
00:34:18Who do you think's gonna want this child?
00:34:21He's gonna pop out with a football in one hand and a goddamn leaf blower in the other, huh?
00:34:28No family like mine.
00:34:31I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.
00:34:34Watch your shit, Rick. You want your baby's first words to be stank of de mayo?
00:34:38Look, it's not like that, but...
00:34:42I really do want to raise him like what I know.
00:34:46What's wrong with you? Why would you let him say those things to me?
00:34:50Well, I don't know. How can you think that this baby's a mistake?
00:34:53You're with child like a woman, so you better start thinking.
00:35:07You're all real-life monsters.
00:35:09Zelda, come on.
00:35:16I'm sorry.
00:35:47I got two more reps. I'm doing it.
00:36:03Do you ever feel like you got anything wrong?
00:36:07Like you're just a little girl who's been through a lot?
00:36:11I don't know.
00:36:13Do you ever feel like you got anything wrong?
00:36:16Like you were telling me.
00:36:18What are you asking me?
00:36:24Did you ever kill anyone?
00:36:30Scoot that tray over here.
00:36:44I guess your daddy got to you pretty good, didn't he?
00:36:51If you did it, you'd tell one of us.
00:36:55Because you love us.
00:37:03Buck, I hate to tell you this at your age,
00:37:07but you ought to know you're fooling yourself
00:37:10if you think nobody else is keeping secrets from you.
00:37:16You got a secret, don't you?
00:37:19Or have you told your mom about your brother?
00:37:23You think your mom is afraid now?
00:37:26How you think she'd be if you told her what that young man's going through?
00:37:30Have you told her? Huh?
00:37:33No, I haven't.
00:37:35See, you're keeping a secret to make her feel better.
00:37:39Look at that.
00:37:44Do you think I'm supposed to believe that you up and talked your mother
00:37:47into going to the store to buy that undergarment that you're suddenly wearing
00:37:51because you grew tits enough for it?
00:37:54No.
00:37:56The woman wants to treat you like a doll, and you let her do it
00:38:00because it makes her feel better.
00:38:04It makes me feel better.
00:38:35Bye.
00:38:37Bye, Mom.
00:38:49I'm going to see him.
00:38:52Mom.
00:38:54What?
00:38:56Just, didn't you have some errands to run?
00:38:58No, I can wait.
00:39:02Hey.
00:39:04Hey.
00:39:06What are you doing here?
00:39:09Well, I was just going to come in for a minute.
00:39:11In the house?
00:39:13Yeah, in the house. Is that a problem?
00:39:17No. No. Come on in.
00:39:32Would you have Salvation Army haul everything off?
00:39:47That's kerosene.
00:39:50I know what kerosene smells like.
00:39:53I have to treat you like a goddamn child.
00:39:56Something is wrong with you.
00:39:59I was looking for something.
00:40:05You know, Rich, it is so much easier to obsess over the past
00:40:09than it is to do what I've had to do.
00:40:13Some things never get in the past till you deal with them.
00:40:16That's what I've been doing.
00:40:18That's what you're doing here?
00:40:20Yeah.
00:40:23He took care of you. I was supposed to do that.
00:40:25I know. It's all my fault.
00:40:28I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
00:40:32Now they don't gather around the war
00:40:37They come around again
00:40:42But who will carry their heads?
00:40:47Now they don't gather around the war
00:40:54♪ Now they don't gather around the warmth ♪
00:41:01♪ Though I'm tall and stouter still ♪

00:41:19Where's your phone?
00:41:21In my purse.
00:41:23You can't smoke.
00:41:26It doesn't matter. I got it taken care of.
00:41:30You what?
00:41:33I got rid of it.
00:41:35You and your family can go screw yourselves.
00:41:39You got an abortion.
00:41:41So you could break up with me.
00:41:43You know, how could I not see something so dangerous?
00:41:46Something that could destroy everything that I wanted.
00:41:53Do you hear how fucked up that is?
00:42:03I will not live a life where people talk to me
00:42:06and think about me the way that you and your family did.
00:42:12♪ One more poor boy getting gone ♪
00:42:18♪ Twisted in the wind ♪
00:42:33When are you going to tell me what's wrong with you?
00:42:40You not talk to Esmeralda anymore?
00:42:47No.
00:43:05Oh, poor girl.
00:43:12She murders your grandson, and she's a poor girl?
00:43:17Yeah.
00:43:22She had a little person inside her.
00:43:25And she was so scared
00:43:27that the only thing she could think to do was that.
00:43:31Yeah, I feel for her.
00:43:36You think a white girl would have done that?
00:43:41Honey, don't be that stupid.
00:43:45You think she would have done it if it weren't half white?
00:43:48You really think that?
00:43:53What you're saying is hateful.
00:43:58Well, you need to be honest with yourself.
00:44:00I've seen you lock your car door when a nigger walks by.
00:44:04And now when you talk to that Gerald faggot at church,
00:44:08you look completely disgusted.
00:44:15Has your grandfather been talking to you?
00:44:19Is that where this is coming from?
00:44:24You know, everybody in this family looks at what Grandpa did
00:44:27like it's something that you have to ignore
00:44:29or it's something that you have to make up for.
00:44:32It's not, Mom.
00:44:39I wish you could see that.
00:44:44I know.
00:44:47What's in the bag?
00:44:49Ow!
00:44:51Ow!
00:44:53Ow!
00:44:55Ow!
00:44:57Ow!
00:44:59Ow!
00:45:01Ow!
00:45:03Ow!
00:45:05Ow!
00:45:07Ow!
00:45:09Ow!
00:45:11Ow!
00:45:13Ow!
00:45:15Ow!
00:45:18Piggy, you fucking spick!
00:45:20Don't keep your voice down!
00:45:22You whore!
00:45:23Stop!
00:45:25Stop, please!
00:45:27Look at me.
00:45:31You're never gonna forget this.
00:45:39Ugh.
00:45:41Ugh.
00:45:45Ugh.
00:45:51What if I never got better?
00:45:53What?
00:45:57Oh, nothing, nothing.
00:46:00Forget I said anything, I'm blue.
00:46:02I'm just blue.
00:46:11Why won't you tell me about Mr. Dinkage?
00:46:15You were with Grandma the night he got killed, right?
00:46:18Well, that's what that damn article says, isn't it?
00:46:21So you read it?
00:46:23Well, if somebody's spreading rumors
00:46:25that you like to eat shit for lunch,
00:46:27wouldn't you specifically like to know what they're saying
00:46:30to make people believe that story?
00:46:32Gross.
00:46:34Yeah, we all eat a little shit sometimes.
00:46:36You don't eat shit.
00:46:38And we don't sit on the coffee table.
00:46:40Ugh.
00:46:42Ugh.
00:46:48People reported the gunshot at 1 a.m. in the morning,
00:46:52but Rick Boy told me that Grandma went to bed early at 8
00:46:56because when she was a kid, her house didn't have electricity.
00:46:59Well, that wasn't in the article.
00:47:01Well, how'd she know you were there?
00:47:03Because a lady knows when she's sharing a bed.
00:47:06Why can't you just be honest with me?
00:47:08What's going on?
00:47:10You're worse than I feel, Ricky.
00:47:12Thanks.
00:47:17I was trying to get Grandpa to say if the story was true.
00:47:20You should ask him, too.
00:47:22I ought to smack you.
00:47:24Don't even talk like that.
00:47:29Bug wanted to know what happened
00:47:31the night that nigger rapist got killed.
00:47:35Let me tell you.
00:47:38I drank back then.
00:47:42I crawled into bed next to my Mae about 9 o'clock.
00:47:46It was right after All in the Family.
00:47:49Went to bed with a headache.
00:47:52Woke up with the same one.
00:47:55Phones what woke me up.
00:47:57I got the call.
00:47:59They found the body of Mr. Dinkage.
00:48:04We thought at first the woman's brother had done it.
00:48:09He's a big old bruiser.
00:48:12I think he would have done it,
00:48:14but he's out of the state, had an alibi.
00:48:20Dinkage didn't deserve to die, whoever did him.
00:48:23You're right to feel sorry about that.
00:48:26We could have arrested him
00:48:29if the woman he raped hadn't been so sure.
00:48:32If the woman he raped hadn't been so ashamed.
00:48:35Why?
00:48:37Because she's a scared woman.
00:48:39Scared women make mistakes.
00:48:42She wouldn't press charges.
00:49:02I'm going to tell Mom you keep making Grandpa upset.
00:49:05You're going to tell Mom?
00:49:08You're such a weird kid.
00:49:10What are you doing this all of a sudden?
00:49:12Why are you sneaking out?
00:49:14Grandpa says he sees you sneak out every night.
00:49:17That's what you want to talk about?
00:49:32I love you.
00:50:03I disabled the alarm for you,
00:50:05but that's the last time I do that
00:50:07for anyone in your family, okay?
00:50:16I miss you.
00:50:22I miss you too.
00:50:25I love you.
00:50:28I love you too.
00:50:31I love you too.
00:50:38You're too young to see how fucked up your family is.
00:50:41It hasn't ruined you yet, but it will.
00:50:45I'm trying to fix it.
00:50:49I think we need to figure out how to get you back home.
00:50:53I told you I never wanted to stay here in the first place.
00:50:58Your family, Earl.
00:51:01Lord knows you took care of me.
00:51:04Paying for nursing school and watching the kids
00:51:07while I had all those jobs.
00:51:09You think I did?
00:51:12Yeah.
00:51:15While I had all those jobs.
00:51:18You think I did that for you?
00:51:23No, I guess you did it for them.
00:51:26I won't disagree with you.
00:51:29Debra, your house has some problems.
00:51:33I know that's bad to say because you're helping me,
00:51:36but those kids are bending under the stress you two are putting on.
00:51:41Me and Richard?
00:51:43Yeah.
00:51:50Did you ever think that maybe the way things are
00:51:55is because of what you did?
00:51:59Earl, you lied to me.
00:52:03There's a world you don't know.
00:52:07It was my Mae that held it all together.
00:52:11She was it.
00:52:14The generosity of that woman.
00:52:17She's like that last frayed thread holding on to that button.
00:52:29I'm curious about something.
00:52:32Did you think I could serve 35 years on the force
00:52:36and not know what pot smells like?
00:52:39Or did you just not consider it?
00:52:46Get out of my house.
00:52:49I'm lying there 10 feet from your bedroom
00:52:52where you're laid up every night smoking out and winding down.
00:52:57Probably naked on your sheets just letting your freak flag fly.
00:53:01I'm not admitting anything to you.
00:53:03You don't have to.
00:53:05I can get child protective services in here.
00:53:08You can flush what you have tonight,
00:53:10but I can make sure they find something.
00:53:13Then where will your kids be?
00:53:22Here's what we'll do.
00:53:25I'll go home, and Richard can come here,
00:53:29and you ask your kids where they want to be.
00:53:33That's not going to happen.
00:53:35Maybe they want to help the grandpa in his last years
00:53:38instead of staying here.
00:53:41They grew up learning from a nurse.
00:53:46Fine.
00:53:49I'll go get them.
00:53:55You don't have to do this.
00:53:58You don't have to humiliate yourself.
00:54:02I think my dignity can stand it.
00:54:14All right.
00:54:16I told them what you were asking.
00:54:18I hope you told them the truth.
00:54:20Of course I did. I'm not like you.
00:54:25I want to go with Granddad.
00:54:29Fine.
00:54:31All right, Bug, I guess you got your room to yourself now.
00:54:35I want to go with Grandpa, too.
00:54:58I love you, Grandpa.
00:55:28I love you, too.
00:55:58I think they'll remember me.
00:56:28I love you, too.
00:56:58Oh, man, I love you.
00:57:11They don't like you being in here alone with me.
00:57:14With your Granddad holding court out there, they won't notice.
00:57:20I was looking at the mic Pastor Bill uses. I think it's fried.
00:57:23Did you fry it?
00:57:27I don't know what...
00:57:29I found this in one of the decks.
00:57:32It sounds a lot like your Granddad didn't know he was being recorded.
00:57:37I just like A.V. stuff.
00:57:39Don't be like that. I know what you're doing.
00:57:43Take a look at this.
00:57:49Do you recognize any of those names?
00:57:53I'm from Beaumont. It's about 200 miles from here.
00:57:58My older brother was working on the same road crew as the man your Granddad killed.
00:58:04I drove down there a few days ago and found this ledger in county records.
00:58:09So whether your Granddad killed him or not, the man was innocent.
00:58:15I'm moving into his house.
00:58:18I'm going to wire it up and record him.
00:58:21Do you know how to use all that stuff?
00:58:24I'll figure it out.
00:58:26I don't doubt it, but I already know how to set it up.
00:58:37He did something to you, didn't he?
00:58:41He did something to you, didn't he?
00:58:45Yeah, I got hurt once.
00:58:49Your Granddad never arrested anybody.
00:59:11Good to finally see you, son.
00:59:13Thanks for the help, Dad.
00:59:41I'm glad he hadn't tossed the phone.
00:59:50Sheriff Tindall, please.
00:59:53Yeah, it's Earl.
00:59:59I'm sorry, Earl.
01:00:01I'm sorry, Earl.
01:00:03I'm sorry, Earl.
01:00:05I'm sorry, Earl.
01:00:07I'm sorry, Earl.
01:00:26Don't.
01:00:28You're the only one with nuts in this family.
01:00:31Let me finish this.
01:00:34He didn't do it.
01:00:36Dad was right.
01:00:38Beaumont.
01:00:41Well, I don't see anything here that says he couldn't have
01:00:44driven up from Beaumont and attacked that woman and then driven back.
01:00:48You think that proves a damn thing?
01:00:51You do.
01:00:57Go on.
01:01:04Go.
01:01:09What you gonna do with that Malone buck?
01:01:12Just don't tell on Dad.
01:01:15No.
01:01:17You can call the sheriff on me if you want.
01:01:25I did not murder that man.
01:01:28What'll it take for y'all to hear that?
01:01:31He was innocent?
01:01:33I interrogated him.
01:01:35And I got him dead to rights.
01:01:38Lying animal. He didn't talk back to me.
01:01:40That's when I knew I had him.
01:01:42I scared him. He cracked.
01:01:44Talk to me that way.
01:01:46He slipped up.
01:01:48Is that why you killed him?
01:01:50Why are you still fucking here?
01:01:56You guys coming with me?
01:02:02I wanna stay here a while.
01:02:12But I'll be back soon. I promise.
01:02:18I'm still gonna help him.
01:02:31I love you.
01:02:53I need a smoke.
01:02:55You smoke?
01:02:57I keep it to myself.
01:02:59In the box.
01:03:01Up there.
01:03:08Smoking almost killed me.
01:03:10Can you climb up there and get that box for me?
01:03:15Big step. Big step.
01:03:19Just hand me the box.
01:03:25All right.
01:03:30Oh, yeah.
01:03:33Put the box back for me.
01:03:45Here you go. I'll help you down.
01:03:47Big step. Big step.
01:03:49There you go.
01:03:51One more.
01:03:54All right.
01:03:57Can you keep a secret?
01:04:19You and I need to talk about anything?
01:04:26All right.
01:04:35Hello, boys.
01:04:37We just came from your daughter-in-law's residence.
01:04:39We were told that Richard Barne Jr. would be here.
01:04:42He's staying here. That's his truck out front there.
01:04:45But he's not here right now. What's this about?
01:04:47We got a call about some harassment across town.
01:04:50Someone left a burning cross in the front yard of a Hispanic family.
01:04:54Richard's daughter thinks that Jr. had something to do with it.
01:04:57When did this happen?
01:04:59Two nights back.
01:05:01We're not able to go into many details, but if you hear anything...
01:05:04I know I'm old, but you boys are talking to me like I'm senile.
01:05:08You answered the call because somebody rich complained.
01:05:12This Mexican family you're talking about, they own how many businesses in town? Three?
01:05:18Do you know anything about the incident?
01:05:20Well, I know he couldn't have done it because he's here with me.
01:05:22Couldn't he have snuck out after you were asleep?
01:05:24It's like I'm on stakeout here.
01:05:26I watch everything my family does because I don't have anything else to do.
01:05:31You boys have a good night.
01:05:33We'll try to stop by some other time.
01:05:40I did it.
01:05:42You know I did it.
01:05:44You think I put away everybody I thought was guilty?
01:05:53Well, it's my generation's fault.
01:05:56We're the ones that should have taught you something.
01:06:02I just thought you'd want me to own up to what I did.
01:06:04The only way you'll learn you're a dumbass is by the guilt from knowing you got away with it.
01:06:11People like us keep going.
01:06:14The regrets pile on top of us.
01:06:18Heavier and heavier pressing down.
01:06:23You've got a long way to go before you can stop.
01:06:29People like us.
01:06:31Grow up.
01:06:33Be somebody.
01:06:48I love you.
01:07:18I love you.
01:07:34I could fit in that bag.
01:07:36Not with all the grit I have in it.
01:07:38Did you show them the ledger?
01:07:42I think they all believe it now.
01:07:44Then why do you want to keep doing this?
01:07:49I don't know.
01:08:03Don't do that.
01:08:19Come on.
01:08:33No one ever comes in here.
01:08:35Grandpa's orders.
01:08:41When does your grandfather wake up?
01:08:43We've got some time. I'll go get the mics.
01:08:46Wait. How are you going to go to the bathroom?
01:08:49I packed a big jar Mom made iced tea in.
01:08:52You're going to go in a jar?
01:08:54Yes. It has a lid.
01:08:58That's so smart.
01:09:16¶¶¶
01:09:46¶¶¶
01:10:16¶¶¶
01:10:47Are you going to help me?
01:10:49¶¶¶
01:11:16¶¶¶
01:11:46¶¶¶
01:11:52What are you doing, Bug?
01:11:54¶¶¶
01:12:17¶¶¶
01:12:23Let's just leave the sewing room alone.
01:12:25Why? We're going to have to clear it out either before or after he dies.
01:12:28You may remember, Grandma, but the stuff in here is all I have.
01:12:37Leave that alone! That's Dad's stuff!
01:12:40Leave it alone!
01:12:42Get off of me!
01:12:46Leave it alone!
01:12:48Listen to me. None of this matters.
01:12:52¶¶¶
01:13:01¶¶¶
01:13:17¶¶¶
01:13:23Y'all go clean out the sewing room. Get all of it out of here.
01:13:27Can we just leave that door shut? Can we not go in there?
01:13:31It's a bunch of yarn. No secrets.
01:13:34And you keep it secret.
01:13:41Rick, can you come help me?
01:13:46¶¶¶
01:13:50¶¶¶
01:14:14Y'all go in there?
01:14:19¶¶¶
01:14:49¶¶¶
01:15:20¶¶¶
01:15:27Why didn't you just throw the gun away?
01:15:32Here.
01:15:35Let me give you something.
01:15:50Now, the thing about guns is they're hard to destroy.
01:15:55A fire like this wouldn't do much.
01:15:58Just bake the prints off. That's about it.
01:16:02See, you flick this to open the chamber.
01:16:07That thing spins. See? Give it a spin.
01:16:14Here you go. Give it a spin. Give it a spin there.
01:16:18Yeah, all right.
01:16:21Now snap it back into place.
01:16:24And when you hold it on somebody, you gotta use two hands.
01:16:27Don't do what you see in the picture.
01:16:29One hand grabs the butt, the other hand grips the butt and the trigger.
01:16:33See?
01:16:37Well, ain't this what we've been heading toward?
01:16:41You got me, gingerbrite.
01:16:43Stick them up, you gotta say.
01:16:46That part's like the pictures.
01:16:48Come on, grandpa. You keep quiet.
01:16:57Stick them up.
01:17:00Oh, honey, that compass of yours,
01:17:04truer than mine ever was.
01:17:08Put your hands over your head.
01:17:12That thing's got a fast trigger.
01:17:17Why don't you just tell her what she wants to know?
01:17:20She's gotta ask.
01:17:23And she's gotta think about what it means
01:17:26to hold a gun on somebody trying to get them to talk.
01:17:33You want me to do this?
01:17:36You do, and you're all set.
01:17:42Did you kill him?
01:17:44Did you ever think about why you keep asking?
01:17:46What is it in you that wants to know?
01:17:48It's the same thing that's in you.
01:17:52Well, then, you're just a little girl that's ruining the book.
01:17:55It's not true, bud.
01:17:58You know what will happen if I shoot?
01:18:01Don't talk about that.
01:18:03In a situation like this, I'll just get counseling.
01:18:07I won't go to jail.
01:18:09All I am is just a little girl.
01:18:12Swear to God, Buck, I think you'd do it.
01:18:15Swear to God, Buck.
01:18:17Did you kill him?
01:18:19Yes, ma'am, I did.
01:18:24How far you think you are from me?
01:18:27Huh? Just a smidge?
01:18:30What's that say that you'd hold a gun on somebody
01:18:33trying to get them to talk?
01:18:36What's that say that you'd hold a gun on an unarmed man
01:18:39to get what you want?
01:18:49So that's all you learned, Buck.
01:18:52You're just a little girl that's ruined.
01:19:07Wow.
01:19:09Did you get it?
01:19:15That looks so good on you.
01:19:21You look like a wheelchair.
01:19:36Get away from my granddaughter, you animal!
01:19:39Gunshots
01:20:07What have you done, girl?
01:20:10He was helping me!
01:20:13What did you let him do?
01:20:36Baby?
01:20:39Can you tell us how he got into the house?
01:20:42I know this is hard.
01:20:45A member of Child Protective Services will be here soon.
01:20:48If you want to talk to her about the assault,
01:20:51if you feel more comfortable,
01:20:53you can talk to her.
01:20:55I'm sorry.
01:20:57I'm sorry.
01:20:59I'm sorry.
01:21:01I'm sorry.
01:21:03If you want to talk to her about the assault,
01:21:05if you feel more comfortable,
01:21:07anything you can tell us now will help our investigation.
01:21:11You know I will.
01:21:14Count on it.
01:21:16Thank you.
01:21:33Hey, are you okay?
01:22:02I'm okay.
01:22:32I'm okay.
01:22:50Bug, wait.
01:23:02Bug, wait.
01:23:32Miss Barnes, come on back.
01:24:03The CPS liaison is going to be here soon.
01:24:07Is it okay if you and I just have a talk?
01:24:17What are you doing?
01:24:20You know the cops came.
01:24:23My God, son, I told them you was at Grandpa's.
01:24:26Listen, I don't want to talk about that with you, okay?
01:24:29But you did it, didn't you?
01:24:32What the fuck difference does that make?
01:24:35Huh?
01:24:37There's so much more shit going on right now than that.
01:24:39You better watch yourself, son.
01:24:42I better watch myself?
01:24:45Why do I care what you think?
01:24:48You mean nothing to me.
01:24:52I saw you at my Grandpa's house.
01:24:55You used to work for him, didn't you?
01:24:57Yes, ma'am.
01:24:59What's this about?
01:25:06This is Grandpa's confession to the murder of James Dinkage.
01:25:11Do you know what you did to this family?
01:25:14Do you know what you did to Bug?
01:25:17You're a piece of shit!
01:25:20At least I didn't burn him to death.
01:25:24At least I didn't burn no fucking cross on somebody's lawn.
01:25:28Get your finger out of my face, boy.
01:25:38Does Grandpa know you're doing this?
01:25:47Stop it!
01:25:50That's not a murder we're investigating.
01:25:59The story's gonna be that your grandfather
01:26:03came upon an assault in progress,
01:26:06took actions completely within the law
01:26:11to protect his family and his property.
01:26:15You might think I'm a monster for doing this,
01:26:18so I'm gonna do my part to see that your grandfather
01:26:21dies the hero he was his whole life.
01:26:24I'm not gonna let a little terrorist like you shit on that.
01:26:29So you get your story straight.
01:26:33Tell the liaison whatever you want.
01:26:38Stop it!
01:26:40Get the fuck off me!
01:26:42Let go of me, okay?
01:26:45Get the fuck off me!
01:27:08Oh, my God.
01:27:11Oh, my God.
01:27:14What did you do?
01:27:37What are you doing?
01:28:08He probably gets lonely out here.
01:28:11At least the birds keep him company.
01:28:24Mom, what really happened in the garage?
01:28:30Honey, it's like Rick, boy, and I told you.
01:28:34Your dad snapped, and I did what I did,
01:28:39and I'm sorry.
01:28:46I took him from you, and I'm so sorry.
01:28:53I went along with the story about Gerald touching me,
01:28:56but none of it was true.
01:29:04Gerald and I got Grandpa to confess.
01:29:07The police destroyed my copy.
01:29:10I didn't know he made a second one,
01:29:12but as soon as I found it,
01:29:14I sent it out to a bunch of different places.
01:29:17Now everyone knows the truth.
01:29:24I raised two sociopaths.
01:29:28I'm this person because of you and Grandpa and Dad.
01:29:36You all taught me to do the right thing.
01:29:39You don't care about doing the right thing!
01:29:41You just want what you want, you selfish little bitch!
01:29:52The only reason the police didn't make more of a fuss about Dad
01:29:56was because he was in prison.
01:29:58They believed what you told them, that he just snapped.
01:30:02I was trying to protect you.
01:30:05Tell me what happened.
01:30:19Are you recording me right now?
01:30:23Please, Mom. Please, it's the most important thing.
01:30:28I love you so much, and I can't figure out how to live like this.
01:30:42I'll confess if you do.
01:30:46Tell me that you feel bad.
01:30:49Tell me that you feel bad.
01:30:52Tell me that you feel some kind of remorse.
01:30:56Tell me that Gerald dying and Richard dying,
01:31:00all of it was worth it.
01:31:12I'm sorry.
01:31:16Mom?
01:31:25Say something! Please!
01:31:30Mom.
01:31:36It's okay.
01:31:39It's okay. Come here. It's okay.
01:31:45Come here. It's okay.
01:31:48I got you.
01:31:56You want me to tell you the truth?
01:31:59Yes.
01:32:02I love you.
01:32:05I love you.
01:32:15I love you.
01:32:26Mom said there are three kinds of things.
01:32:33There's what's real,
01:32:37what isn't,
01:32:40and what you believe.
01:33:11New love like a diamond,
01:33:14like a twinkling star.
01:33:17But it's a whole lot of heartache to get to where we are.
01:33:23Cause every man is a myth,
01:33:26every woman a dream.
01:33:29Watch your little heart get crushed when the truth gets in between.
01:33:35Every bond is a bond to sorrow.
01:33:38When the sky turns gray,
01:33:41everything you love will be taken away.
01:33:47Cry for your mama,
01:33:50cry for your dad,
01:33:53cry for everything you know they never had.
01:34:02Lying in the bed you made,
01:34:05oh but you were so young.
01:34:08Say a prayer, put your head down, gotta prove your mama wrong.
01:34:14There's no poison like a dream,
01:34:17when it all comes undone.
01:34:20Don't you know that in the end you're not fooling anyone.
01:34:26Every bond is a bond to sorrow.
01:34:29Every blue sky fades to gray,
01:34:32everything you love will be taken away.
01:34:38Cry for your mama,
01:34:41cry for your dad,
01:34:44cry for everything you know they never had.
01:34:49You know they never had.
