00:03:07Honey, you look great.
00:03:09You should try to relax.

00:04:35Carlson.
00:04:38Oh.
00:04:42So sweet of you, Mom, you didn't have to do this.
00:04:44We wanted to make this a really special homecoming for you, baby.
00:04:47It is.
00:04:50Oh, my God, look at you.
00:04:53Oh, wow, look at you.
00:04:56You're growing up so fast,
00:04:58your boys must be slitting their wrists, huh?
00:05:00Oh, baby, come on.
00:05:03Ian Matthews, welcome home.
00:05:05It's good to meet you.
00:05:06Thank you for the job interview.
00:05:08Work hard and make her happy.
00:05:10It's an old thanks I need.
00:05:11Yeah, it will.
00:05:13Oh, baby.
00:05:15Yeah.
00:05:18Yeah.
00:05:23What's up, Timmy?
00:05:25My name's Bobby.
00:05:27Bobby?
00:05:30I don't know your name, little brother.
00:05:32It's all right.
00:05:41I don't know what's the matter with Bobby.
00:05:43He's been looking forward to this for so long.
00:05:45Oh, don't worry about it, Mom.
00:05:46I know he has.
00:05:48He's just nervous.
00:05:50His big brother just came home from prison.
00:05:53Oh, wow.
00:05:57What a feeling.
00:05:58You have no idea how good it feels
00:06:00just to be able to open up a refrigerator
00:06:01and take whatever you want.
00:06:03Wow.
00:06:07Ian, how about a beer?
00:06:09Wait a minute, ho, ho.
00:06:10I brought the cake and ice cream over here.
00:06:13All right, Mom.
00:06:16Top of the world, Mom.
00:06:44How long you been standing there?
00:06:46A couple seconds.
00:06:48I like looking at you.
00:06:51Haven't been able to do that in a couple of years.
00:06:55Anybody been driving the truck?
00:06:58Kid in that bag of bowls.
00:07:00Hadn't moved two inches in two years.
00:07:05It's a 54 Chevy five-window pickup.
00:07:09I know guys who'd kill for that.
00:07:13How about I fix it?
00:07:15I want you to do whatever makes you happy.
00:07:20I want you to start your new life.
00:07:28So tell me about the Duke, huh?
00:07:32The Duke.
00:07:34John Wayne.
00:07:36Oh, boy.
00:07:41Well, Ian's back at the ranch.
00:07:44He sleeps there most of the time.
00:07:49Why's that?
00:07:51He looks like a good guy.
00:07:52What are you two waiting for?
00:07:54Because we're dating.
00:07:58Old-fashioned.
00:08:00Wake up.
00:08:06Oh, boy.
00:08:09I can't believe this is true.
00:08:13I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:08:15Wake up.
00:08:18It's not a dream.
00:08:21More like the end of a nightmare.
00:08:24Yeah.
00:08:25A long nightmare.
00:08:28Two years of my life.
00:08:31It's over.
00:08:34Is it?
00:08:36I don't know.
00:08:39They say coming out of prison, it's rough.
00:08:47You're gonna make it.
00:08:49I believe in you.
00:08:55I love you.
00:08:57I love you.
00:09:00And I'm sorry for all the things that I've done.
00:09:02Don't miss.
00:09:05The things that I should have done and I didn't do,
00:09:09and the things I ought to miss.
00:09:16Yeah, I should have been making you proud instead.
00:09:18Shh.
00:09:21You're home now, and everything's gonna be just like it was.
00:09:27No more troubles.
00:09:36Yeah?
00:09:38Jeremiah, what you reading?
00:09:42The usual crap, you know, brain-rottening stuff.
00:09:46You want something?
00:09:48Well, how do you feel about me taking the top bunk tonight?
00:09:51In here with me?
00:09:53If you don't like it, that's cool.
00:09:55No, man, that'd be great. Sure.
00:09:56All right.
00:10:07Oh, man, these sheets feel good.
00:10:11Night, Kenny.
00:10:13Night, buddy.
00:10:21Kenny?
00:10:23Yeah, buddy?
00:10:24Just wondering, are you okay?
00:10:26I mean, you know, I saw this prison movie on cable
00:10:31where they took this guy in the laundry room.
00:10:35Wait a minute, is that what you've been so quiet about since I got home?
00:10:39Listen, buddy, nothing happened. I'm fine.
00:10:42Really?
00:10:43Nothing happened.
00:10:47Kenny?
00:10:48Yeah?
00:10:49I'm glad you're okay,
00:10:51because in the movie they hurt the guy real bad.
00:11:11Whoa!
00:11:13I'll give you one guess where I learned how to fix engines.
00:11:16This is great.
00:11:18I can't believe you did this.
00:11:20All it needed was a couple of new plugs to clean out the carbs a little.
00:11:23What do you say we let Deedee take Bobby to school in the sedan?
00:11:26You and I should take the truck.
00:11:29Absolutely.
00:11:30Go right this way, m'lady.
00:11:31Thank you.
00:11:32There you go.
00:11:37Yeah, this looks like the place.
00:11:39You remember how to drive this thing?
00:11:41Oh, come on.
00:11:43Taught you, didn't I?
00:11:48You nervous?
00:11:49Yeah.
00:11:51A little bit.
00:11:52You're a good mechanic.
00:11:54You remember that.
00:11:56I don't know anybody else who could have fixed this thing.
00:12:00I love you.
00:12:01I love you, too.
00:12:02Bye.
00:12:03I love you.
00:12:04Coming through.
00:12:21Can I help you, son?
00:12:22You have Kenny Carlson?
00:12:24Ian Matthews spoke to you about me?
00:12:26Oh, right, right.
00:12:28I clean for God.
00:12:29How long you been home?
00:12:30Just last night.
00:12:33So you know anything about boats?
00:12:34Some.
00:12:36Plus, I worked the motor pool while I was away.
00:12:40So what were you in for?
00:12:41I figure I got a right to know if you're going to be working here.
00:12:44Yeah.
00:12:45Armed robbery.
00:12:46Me and a couple buddies were out drinking one night and they jacked a convenience store.
00:12:51I was standing in the wrong place at the wrong time.
00:12:53Listen, no excuses.
00:12:54I was there.
00:12:55I could have split, but I didn't.
00:12:58I understand if you don't want to take a chance.
00:13:00A lot of people feel that way.
00:13:02I got no problem.
00:13:03You work hard, keep your nose clean, it's all I ask.
00:13:05It's eight bucks an hour.
00:13:08Might as well get started if you want it.
00:13:10Tools are in the truck.
00:13:12Number 26 needs an oil change.
00:13:14Need to varnish those rails.
00:13:17And, uh, stow the rest of this gear in the box.
00:13:29Yes, sir.
00:14:00Chili de macchi.
00:14:23Change the recipe.
00:14:24All right, what do you think?
00:14:25What do you think?
00:14:26Oh!
00:14:27I can feed myself.
00:14:29Give it to me straight, doc.
00:14:30Hold on, it's hot.
00:14:31It's supposed to be hot.
00:14:32It's chili, for crying out loud.
00:14:35You're a genius.
00:14:36I know that, but how does the chili taste?
00:14:38You know, if I take some home to Kenny, I bet he'll love it, too.
00:14:42Excuse me, genius.
00:14:44Table four is still waiting on their veal chops.
00:14:47Hey, do they want it now or do they want it cooked?
00:14:50It's ready when it's ready.
00:14:52Mackey, I was wondering if I could leave a little early today.
00:14:56Why don't you invite table four into the kitchen?
00:14:58They can cook it themselves.
00:14:59Sharon, that's the fifth time in two weeks.
00:15:02Well, yeah, I know, but I kind of like to be there when Kenny gets home.
00:15:05You know, he's been working so hard.
00:15:07Yeah, well, look, the crowd's just barely starting to come in.
00:15:09Bet Claire could cover for me, couldn't you?
00:15:11Of course, Claire could cover.
00:15:13Why not?
00:15:14Good.
00:15:15Okay.
00:15:16Hey, thanks, Mac.
00:15:17Listen, Mandela didn't get this much attention when he got out.
00:15:19Look, I'd like to see one of your kids walk a mile in Kenny's shoes.
00:15:24Let's see how far he'd get.
00:15:26Kenny's shoes.
00:15:27Probably stole them.
00:15:55Kenny?
00:16:14Kenny?
00:16:21Kenny, is that you?
00:16:23Kenny?
00:16:29Is that how you greeted Kenny when he came back?
00:16:35He didn't tell me you were out.
00:16:37He doesn't know yet.
00:16:39Just got here.
00:16:42How'd you get in?
00:16:44Key.
00:16:45Behind the bushes under the stone.
00:16:47Just where Kenny said it'd be.
00:16:54Learned a lot about a guy after two years in prison together.
00:17:10Home cooking.
00:17:11God, the things I missed in prison.
00:17:15You'd be surprised what you learn to live without.
00:17:24Why don't you just say it?
00:17:28Why don't I just say what?
00:17:30That you don't want me around.
00:17:35Look, you and Kenny were friends in prison.
00:17:38I don't want to take away from that.
00:17:42But he's got a real chance to start fresh now.
00:17:47He's got a real chance.
00:17:54Thanks for coming with me.
00:18:15On your knees and wiping up somebody else's grease.
00:18:18You don't mind my saying so.
00:18:20It's not how I pictured you on the outside.
00:18:22When did you get out?
00:18:24A couple of days ago.
00:18:26Yeah, well, you scared my mom.
00:18:28She called here all upset. Don't do that again.
00:18:31She doesn't want me to be around.
00:18:33She figures I'm a bad influence on you.
00:18:36Where are you going to stay?
00:18:38With you.
00:18:40You don't mind, do you?
00:18:42Listen, Warren, things are going to be different now.
00:18:45Meet me at that restaurant.
00:18:47Top of the road in 30 minutes.
00:18:49We'll talk about it.
00:19:04You know, he invited us to his place this weekend.
00:19:07Kids' camp.
00:19:09You know, it's been a while.
00:19:11He invited us to his place this weekend.
00:19:13Kids can't go.
00:19:15You know, they got plans with their friends.
00:19:17I was thinking, though, maybe you'd go with me.
00:19:20Is it all right if Warren comes?
00:19:22You know, you never even told me Warren was coming here.
00:19:26Mom, I didn't know.
00:19:28Listen, he's not going to stay very long.
00:19:30Yeah, he makes me nervous.
00:19:32Warren?
00:19:33Yeah.
00:19:34He's nothing but mouth.
00:19:36You know, I wish you'd really try to find yourself some new friends.
00:19:40It's only been a couple of weeks.
00:19:42People aren't exactly lined up to be friends with an ex-con.
00:19:46Look, I'm going to try.
00:19:48I promise.
00:19:50But in the meantime, you know, I didn't have much choice of friends up there.
00:19:54You should cut Warren some slack.
00:19:56Okay.
00:19:58Why don't you go out there and get him?
00:20:01Tell him dinner's ready.
00:20:11Warren, it's beautiful, isn't it?
00:20:13I haven't had pink color yet.
00:20:15After gray, any color seems like a lot.
00:20:19I like it.
00:20:21All the trees and stuff.
00:20:23Warren, where'd you grow up?
00:20:25Tulsa, mostly.
00:20:27I like it here, though.
00:20:31I thought you lived up near Clayton Ridge.
00:20:33Why'd you turn in here?
00:20:35Well, this is my own private shortcut.
00:20:37I found it about the third time I came up here.
00:20:40It takes a little longer to get there, but it sure is pretty.
00:20:44It takes longer.
00:20:46That's some shortcut for you.
00:20:48That's my mom.
00:20:51So, Warren, what are your plans?
00:20:53He's gonna go to work with me.
00:20:55Oh.
00:20:57Warren, you know anything about boats and engines?
00:21:00What he doesn't know, I'll teach him.
00:21:02I'm not gonna be polishing rails forever, either.
00:21:05No.
00:21:07Old Pritchard's old-fashioned.
00:21:09One of these days, I'm gonna be really good at it.
00:21:11I'll teach him.
00:21:13I'm not gonna be polishing rails forever, either.
00:21:15No.
00:21:17Old Pritchard's old-fashioned.
00:21:19One of these days, I'm gonna be running the whole place the way it should be run.
00:21:22W.K. Charters.
00:21:24K.W. Charters. Letters overlaid.
00:21:26Maritime logo.
00:21:28Sweet.
00:21:30How about a beer?
00:21:34No, thanks. I'm driving.
00:21:37Maybe next time.
00:21:39Mom, you know what?
00:21:41One of these days, I'm gonna buy you one of these places up here.
00:21:43Big old view.
00:21:45K.W. Charters is taller than all them rich drivers going by in New York.
00:21:48Don't take me while I'm driving.
00:21:50Kenny, I told you so.
00:21:54Oh, he's tackling my lunch.
00:21:56Oh.
00:22:14How you doing, Ann?
00:22:16Good to see you again.
00:22:18Hi, honey.
00:22:20Welcome.
00:22:22Hey.
00:22:24Those wheels must have sent you back 30 grand at least, huh?
00:22:27Air belts.
00:22:32Hey.
00:22:34Hi, sweetie. I'm sorry.
00:22:36That's, uh, Kenny's friend from prison.
00:22:39I told you about him.
00:22:41I hope you don't mind. I couldn't say no.
00:22:44As long as you're here.
00:22:46Come on.
00:22:48Okay.
00:22:50Come on.
00:22:52There you go.
00:22:54All right.
00:22:56Look at you. Did you teach her how to ride like that?
00:22:59She's a natural.
00:23:01Hey, Warren. Is it okay?
00:23:03Sure.
00:23:05You know how to ride, Warren?
00:23:07I grew up in friggin' Oklahoma, man.
00:23:12I'm from friggin' Oklahoma, man.
00:23:15Shut up.
00:23:17I'm sorry. You're a regular Lakota tribesman.
00:23:19Take off that saddle.
00:23:21These Native Americans like to ride bareback.
00:23:23Shut up, Kenny. I ain't no friggin' Indian.
00:23:25You could have fooled me, Tonto.
00:23:27You don't know what you're talking about, man.
00:23:29I grew up with them.
00:23:31They ain't nothing but a bunch of filthy drunks.
00:23:33Ought to be sent back where they come from.
00:23:35I think this is where they come from.
00:23:37Kenny.
00:23:39Come on.
00:23:41Come on.
00:23:44Now it isn't my business who you hate or why.
00:23:52You're a friend of Kenny's.
00:23:54So I won't kick your racist butt until next week.
00:24:00Go ahead. I'll be right back.
00:24:04But if I hear you talk like that again...
00:24:07you're out of here.
00:24:14That's my mother's boyfriend.
00:24:16He got me my job.
00:24:18Don't screw this up for me.
00:24:30Getting ready to pop the question, I imagine.
00:24:33Oh, gee, you.
00:24:35Well, I know about these things.
00:24:38How do you know?
00:24:40I know about these things.
00:24:42How touching.
00:24:47Oh, damn.
00:24:49What's wrong?
00:24:51We ran out of gas.
00:24:53I thought we'd make it. I should have filled it up.
00:24:55Oh, great. We had to take your scenic shortcut.
00:24:57Warren, I'm really sorry.
00:24:59There ain't gonna be another damn car up this road for hours.
00:25:01Warren, shut up. Get out.
00:25:03Out? Get out.
00:25:05That's not nice.
00:25:07Don't worry about it. We'll take care of it.
00:25:09Kenny, where you going?
00:25:11Mom, don't worry. Stay here. I'll take care of it.
00:25:13Warren and I will cut up through the woods to the main highway
00:25:15and get us some help.
00:25:17You just be careful.
00:25:19I will. Don't worry.
00:25:23Let's go.
00:25:25There's poison oak in there.
00:25:27Ow. Ow. Stinks.
00:25:29Ow.
00:25:31Watch your step.
00:25:34Oh, man.
00:25:36There's a road.
00:25:38Spider.
00:25:40Spider what?
00:25:44Oh, man.
00:25:46Nobody in their right mind's gonna stop here.
00:25:48We're gonna be stuck out here all night.
00:25:50There's somebody coming right now.
00:26:00Hey. What's the problem, guys?
00:26:02Hey, uh, we're stuck down on this little side road down here.
00:26:05We ran out of gas. My mother's with me.
00:26:07She okay?
00:26:09Yeah, she's fine, but, uh, she's a little bit embarrassed
00:26:11because she forgot to get gas.
00:26:15Well, I tell you what.
00:26:17I'd drive your friend here to the gas station.
00:26:19Why don't you stay here with your mother?
00:26:21You don't want her out here alone in the woods.
00:26:23Oh, yeah. That'd be great.
00:26:25Uh, what's your name?
00:26:27Mark. Mark Willis.
00:26:29Hey, I'm Kenny Carlson.
00:26:31This is Warren Stubbs.
00:26:33It's nice to meet you, Kenny. Hop on in, Warren.
00:26:37I appreciate it.
00:26:39Sure thing.
00:26:52Kenny?
00:26:54Yeah, Mom.
00:26:56We got some help.
00:26:58Oh, good.
00:27:00I'll be back here pretty soon with some gas.
00:27:02All right. Oh, good.
00:27:04Told you not to worry about him.
00:27:06He's a good guy.
00:27:08Oh, yeah.
00:27:10Is that better?
00:27:12Oh, yeah. I'd forgotten how you're the only one
00:27:14who can get that crick out of my neck.
00:27:16That's right.
00:27:18You miss me, huh?
00:27:20What do you think?
00:27:26You know, when I was a little girl,
00:27:28I used to go to sleep at night
00:27:30looking at the stars and making wishes.
00:27:36Any of those wishes come true?
00:27:40Yeah, you did.
00:27:44Well, Mom, if I was what you were wishing for,
00:27:46you must have pissed God off real bad.
00:27:48That's not true.
00:27:52You're the most precious gift I ever got.
00:27:54You know what?
00:27:56I made another wish tonight
00:27:58for you to have a brand-new star,
00:28:02and that one's gonna come true, too.
00:28:10There it is.
00:28:18Mom, look at this.
00:28:20Three gallons of gas.
00:28:22Plenty to get us home, huh?
00:28:24Yeah.
00:28:28Hey, Mom, I'm gonna run up
00:28:30and give something to this man
00:28:32who helped us out, okay?
00:28:34He was real good.
00:28:36Probably nobody else around here would have done that.
00:28:38I'll meet you at the junction.
00:28:40Okay.
00:28:48Where the hell did you find that?
00:28:50A guy, yeah.
00:28:52He had this under his seat there,
00:28:54but he never saw me take it.
00:28:56Yo, damn it, you might have seen it.
00:29:00How come he didn't come down here and bring us the gas himself?
00:29:02I guess he didn't feel like coming down here.
00:29:06I guess he felt like sitting in his fancy SUV.
00:29:10I just have no idea why he didn't.
00:29:20Kenny!
00:29:22Kenny, you still here?
00:29:28Oh, great, guys.
00:29:30Leave me out here
00:29:32in the middle of nowhere.
00:29:34Drive home alone.
00:29:50Hi, honey.
00:29:52Sorry I'm late getting back,
00:29:54but I see you aren't home from Millie's yet either.
00:29:56Reason I'm late,
00:29:58I stopped to help a couple of young guys
00:30:00and their mom near Clayton Ridge.
00:30:02Well, I'll see you later.
00:30:04Send me a piece of that cobbler.
00:30:06I love you. Bye.
00:30:10It's only been a few hours.
00:30:12Please look for him.
00:30:14It's not like him to just disappear like this.
00:30:16He's always stopping to help people.
00:30:18Nice guy, huh?
00:30:20Well, I can't officially do anything
00:30:22for 48 hours.
00:30:24Why don't I do this?
00:30:26Why don't I go up to the Ridge
00:30:28and I'll ask some folks if anybody saw anything, okay?
00:30:30Thank you.
00:30:32We'll find him. He'll turn up.
00:30:34Okay?
00:30:40Hi, honey. Heard from Kenny?
00:30:42Yeah, he's in the kitchen.
00:30:44Where's he been? I don't know.
00:30:46Over to Skip's study for the trig test.
00:30:48Oh, Skip, Skip. Skip who?
00:30:50Do I know Skip? His family just moved here from L.A.
00:30:52Oh, yeah, yeah. Big house near Stanton's.
00:30:54I'm impressed.
00:30:56Don't start buying any baby clothes.
00:31:08Okay, Kenny.
00:31:10Don't hide from me.
00:31:12I ain't hiding from you. I'm trying to fix this sink.
00:31:14When's the last time
00:31:16somebody lifted these pipes?
00:31:18Well, probably
00:31:20since before you left home.
00:31:24Kenny, how
00:31:26could you do that?
00:31:28Do what? Oh, hey, did you see the check
00:31:30I left for you? Figured I'd keep one of them
00:31:32out of the month and give the rest to you.
00:31:34Yeah, I got it. It'll really help.
00:31:36Thanks a lot. Let's get back to the subject.
00:31:38You left me alone
00:31:40in the middle of the night.
00:31:42Sorry, ma.
00:31:44But leaving you alone in your very own shortcut,
00:31:46which I'm sure you've been on alone before,
00:31:48you had gas, which Warren went to go get
00:31:50for you. What's the problem?
00:31:54Eh?
00:31:56Just like new.
00:31:58This family really missed me.
00:32:00Well,
00:32:02don't make me guess.
00:32:06Tell me what happened.
00:32:08That guy Willis was cool.
00:32:10Came here to say thank you,
00:32:12hung out for a little while,
00:32:14and by the time I got home, it was time to get dressed
00:32:16and go to work. That's it.
00:32:18Case closed.
00:32:20Sure wish I'd known.
00:32:22Well,
00:32:24I'll tell you what. I'm sorry.
00:32:26But if I gotta ask your permission every time
00:32:28I wanna go get a drink, I may as well
00:32:30be back in jail.
00:32:32Maybe I should
00:32:34just move out.
00:32:36Yeah.
00:32:38That's all I want you to do.
00:32:40I want you to move out. I haven't missed you.
00:32:42Oh, come on, Kenny.
00:32:44I was just worried.
00:32:46You want me to make you a sandwich, huh?
00:32:48No, thank you.
00:32:50Good night.
00:32:52Thank you, sweetie.
00:32:54Ha.
00:33:06Eat from your own plate.
00:33:08Excuse me? I was just sitting there.
00:33:10Yeah, well, maybe I was gonna eat them.
00:33:12You guys, stop fighting. My mom works here.
00:33:14You want more, she'll bring us more.
00:33:16Your mom's a hottie.
00:33:18If my mother worked in a place like this, I'd never set foot in the joint.
00:33:20She'd be all over me.
00:33:22Dude, where's your manners?
00:33:24She's pretty cool.
00:33:26Never really gets on my case.
00:33:28I've used that in my life.
00:33:30My folks want every detail of every day
00:33:32like they give a damn.
00:33:40No, no, no. Just some coffee.
00:33:42Just some coffee.
00:33:44Yeah, thanks.
00:33:46And how about a dozen donuts?
00:33:48No, I'm kidding.
00:33:52Can I have another napkin, please?
00:34:00Sharon Carlson?
00:34:02Yeah, that's right.
00:34:04Matthew's fella told me that I could find you here.
00:34:06Who, Ian?
00:34:08Yeah, I spent the morning interviewing everyone up on Clayton Ridge.
00:34:10He said that you and your sons
00:34:12need a little help with your car the other night.
00:34:14Son, singular.
00:34:16The other kid's a friend of his.
00:34:18And yes, a man did help us.
00:34:20We ran out of gas.
00:34:22Stupid me.
00:34:24It was a nice thing for him to do.
00:34:26Buy something wrong?
00:34:32What's with the cop?
00:34:34They're probably here about her brother follow-up or something.
00:34:36Her brother?
00:34:38Two years for stealing. Just got out on parole.
00:34:40Sweet.
00:34:42Let's go.
00:34:50Thanks a lot.
00:34:52It's nobody's business where my brother's been.
00:34:54Excuse me.
00:34:56It's not like he was in a resort for two years.
00:34:58Wish I could tell you more,
00:35:00but I never saw him to say thank you.
00:35:02Maybe I should talk to your boy, Kenny.
00:35:04Mrs. Carlson,
00:35:06the wife of this missing man,
00:35:08she's just worried sick
00:35:10that something terrible's happened to him.
00:35:12I think anything we could do
00:35:14to help ease her mind,
00:35:16it would be a help.
00:35:18He'll be home around 7.
00:35:207 o'clock tonight?
00:35:22Yeah.
00:35:32So, Kenny, your mother tells me
00:35:34that you and your friend and Mr. Willis
00:35:36went out for a drink after he helped you.
00:35:38Which bar did you go to?
00:35:40No, sorry about that.
00:35:42My mother's wrong.
00:35:44We went and drank.
00:35:47Oh, sorry.
00:35:49It's all right.
00:35:51We went up to Gopher Pass, up off of 115.
00:35:53Yeah, right, okay.
00:35:55We sat there, and we drank for a while,
00:35:57and we talked, and then, uh,
00:35:59when we were through,
00:36:01he took us back to the Jack Frost diner,
00:36:03and he was...
00:36:05he was saying how his wife
00:36:07was gonna be all pissed off at him,
00:36:09and that was it.
00:36:11Me and Warren had some breakfast, and we went to works.
00:36:13Which Warren's last name?
00:36:15Stubbs.
00:36:17And, uh, do you know where he is right now?
00:36:19I don't know about that.
00:36:21All right.
00:36:23Is there anything else, um,
00:36:25is there anything else you can think of, either of you?
00:36:27Um, not me.
00:36:29You know, I hope he's all right.
00:36:31I didn't know how to thank him.
00:36:33He was...
00:36:35not very many people who would have helped us out
00:36:37in that kind of situation.
00:36:39Okay.
00:36:41All right, well, here's my card.
00:36:43You can call me if you think of anything else.
00:36:45Uh, either of you.
00:36:47And, uh, Kenny, thanks for having me.
00:36:49Sure. Thank you.
00:36:51Uh, good night.
00:36:53Take care.
00:36:55Okay.
00:36:57Huh.
00:37:01How could you do that?
00:37:03You're my mother.
00:37:05You're supposed to protect me.
00:37:07Kenny, what are you talking about?
00:37:09I just told him what you told me.
00:37:11Mom, I've been in jail.
00:37:13All right, the police are automatically gonna figure
00:37:15that I'm responsible for every crime that happens in this county.
00:37:17Did you take his car?
00:37:23Yes.
00:37:25All right? We did.
00:37:29Mom, you're talking about how much money he had
00:37:31and the big, giant ski chalet,
00:37:33and he and his wife
00:37:35were gonna go off and go to Europe for the spring.
00:37:37Kenny, what else did you do?
00:37:39Mom, we didn't do it.
00:37:41We didn't hurt him, I promise.
00:37:43If somebody else hurt that guy,
00:37:45they did it after we were there.
00:37:47Warren.
00:37:49See, I knew it was Warren.
00:37:51I knew if you hung around with Warren
00:37:53that something would happen.
00:37:55Did you even think about your parole?
00:37:57Did you even have any idea what could happen?
00:37:59Yes, of course I did.
00:38:01And it's gonna be the same thing
00:38:03that always happens to me.
00:38:05I end up doing hard time
00:38:07for something that doesn't deserve
00:38:09a slap on the wrist.
00:38:11S...
00:38:13S...
00:38:15S...
00:38:17S...
00:38:19S...
00:38:21S...
00:38:23S...
00:38:25S...
00:38:27S...
00:38:29S...
00:38:31S...
00:38:33S...
00:38:35S...
00:38:37S...
00:38:39S...
00:38:41S...
00:38:43S...
00:38:45S...
00:38:47S...
00:38:49S...
00:38:51S...
00:38:53S...
00:38:55So, how do I already know
00:38:57it's gonna be Mark Willis?
00:38:59The clothes match, but it's hard to tell.
00:39:01Look what somebody's done
00:39:03to this poor bastard.
00:39:17And the body found in a deserted area
00:39:19off State Highway 115
00:39:21has been identified as that of Mark Willis,
00:39:23a Goldridge man
00:39:25who had been missing for the past three days.
00:39:27Flip it back.
00:39:29Why?
00:39:31Just flip it back. I wanna hear it.
00:39:33Mr. Willis was 45 years old.
00:39:35No, Kenny, wait a minute. Wait, wait.
00:39:37Have you seen this? What?
00:39:39In other news, gunfire rang through the streets
00:39:41of Los Angeles again today.
00:39:43No, no, wait, not this. There was another story
00:39:45about Mr. Willis. He was murdered.
00:39:47Mr. Willis? The man who helped us on the road.
00:39:49They found his body.
00:39:51Oh, my God, that's awful.
00:39:53What did they say?
00:39:57Kenny, did you have
00:39:59anything to do with this?
00:40:01Mom,
00:40:03I know what you must
00:40:05be thinking. No.
00:40:07Listen to me. I told you we had nothing else
00:40:09to do with that. Nothing.
00:40:11Mom, come on.
00:40:13I know I made some stupid mistakes in my life,
00:40:15but do you really think I could do something like this?
00:40:17Huh?
00:40:19No. Somebody else
00:40:21killed that poor man.
00:40:23We just happened to see him before it happened.
00:40:25That's all.
00:40:27Okay?
00:40:29All right.
00:40:31Go get washed up.
00:40:33Thank you.
00:40:39Hi. Can I show you
00:40:41to a table?
00:40:43Is that you?
00:40:45Yeah. Hi, Sharon.
00:40:47Well, it's Mulrooney now.
00:40:49I finally took the plunge. Ah, well.
00:40:51Good for you. You look great.
00:40:53Really. How do you do it?
00:40:55Well, so do you.
00:40:57Thanks.
00:40:59And as I recall,
00:41:01you work for the D.A.'s office.
00:41:03Yeah. So you
00:41:05didn't just happen in here. You came in here
00:41:07to talk to me about Kenny. Yeah.
00:41:09It's okay. We can talk.
00:41:11I'll take a break. Talk outside.
00:41:13Huh? Great. Be back in ten minutes.
00:41:15I'm a mother, too, Sharon.
00:41:17I have three kids.
00:41:19I think maybe I understand.
00:41:21Well, then you understand I'm gonna be awfully careful
00:41:23what I say to you.
00:41:25Look, all I want is to find whoever killed Mark Willis.
00:41:27Kenny swears he didn't do it.
00:41:29And I'm not saying he did.
00:41:31Things aren't always what they seem.
00:41:33If he had nothing to do with it,
00:41:35then he has nothing to worry about.
00:41:37He is on parole.
00:41:39I won't bust his parole if he's not involved with the murder.
00:41:41You can't promise that.
00:41:43I might be able to.
00:41:45It all depends on what he knows and what he's connected to.
00:41:51You know, I used to really envy you
00:41:53in school. What?
00:41:55That's a laugh.
00:41:57I would have given anything to attract
00:41:59the boys the way you do. Oh, right.
00:42:01Yeah. Look where it got me.
00:42:05Sharon, if something
00:42:07happened,
00:42:09you can't make it unhappen.
00:42:11I will protect my son.
00:42:15Bye.
00:42:19Bye-bye.
00:42:25Hey, Bobby.
00:42:27Could you get in here
00:42:29and eat dinner with the rest of us?
00:42:31Huh?
00:42:33I'm watching TV.
00:42:35I'll eat in here.
00:42:37Oh, sorry, Mom. I'll grab something later.
00:42:39All right.
00:42:41Is it clean in the house?
00:42:43Yep. Everything except Kenny's stuff.
00:42:45He didn't want me to touch it.
00:42:47Don't be too late. I won't.
00:42:57What do we got here?
00:42:59Oh.
00:43:01I'm so glad I could come home
00:43:03for all this home cooking.
00:43:05You were running off too, huh?
00:43:07You know, I told Warren I'd meet him up
00:43:09at Wes's.
00:43:11You know, a woman
00:43:13came to see me at the diner
00:43:15today, a girl I went to high school with.
00:43:17Is that right? Yeah.
00:43:19Does she still look as pretty as you do?
00:43:21Sweet talker.
00:43:23Actually, she
00:43:25worked for the D.A.'s office.
00:43:33What did you tell her?
00:43:35Nothing.
00:43:37But I'm worried, sweetheart.
00:43:41They found Warren's prints
00:43:43all over Mr. Willis's truck.
00:43:45Of course they did, Mom. We took his truck.
00:43:51Did you talk to him?
00:43:55Uh...
00:43:57I don't know.
00:43:59Come on. Come on. It's been almost a week.
00:44:01I don't know what happened
00:44:03to that guy.
00:44:05I'm sorry that he's dead, but I don't want to go back to prison
00:44:07for something that I didn't do.
00:44:17Hey, I'm going into town. You want to take a ride with me?
00:44:19No, thanks.
00:44:21Better finish up some things here.
00:44:23If it makes you feel better,
00:44:25I'll talk to her, okay?
00:44:29Thanks.
00:44:31But only if she promises me
00:44:33that they're not going to pull my parole
00:44:35for jacking that guy's truck.
00:44:39All right.
00:44:41I mean, you know what's going to happen.
00:44:43I'm going to help them solve their murder,
00:44:45and they're going to send me back to prison.
00:44:47That's not fair.
00:44:49No.
00:44:51No.
00:44:55I love you.
00:44:57Love you. Have fun.
00:45:17You look thirsty.
00:45:19Thanks.
00:45:21You're new around here, aren't you?
00:45:25I actually have just been away for a while.
00:45:29I grew up here, though.
00:45:31Really?
00:45:33Away at college?
00:45:35Not exactly.
00:45:39I was in the service.
00:45:41Training facility in the Midwest.
00:45:43Motor pool.
00:45:45What about you?
00:45:47UCSB.
00:45:49So you...
00:45:51part of this whole tourist crowd,
00:45:53or would you consider maybe going out
00:45:55with a boat mechanic?
00:45:57Come on. Let's go.
00:46:01I better catch up with the others,
00:46:03or the boat will leave without me.
00:46:05Well, there's a lot of other boats.
00:46:07But what's your name?
00:46:09What's your name?
00:46:39Hello.
00:47:09Hello.
00:47:23A little bit early for a boat ride, Ma.
00:47:25Spoke to Donna
00:47:27from the D.A.'s office this morning
00:47:29about your parole.
00:47:33She said she couldn't promise anything,
00:47:35but, uh,
00:47:37she would have some influence
00:47:39with the judge if it comes to that.
00:47:43You think that's good enough?
00:47:47I think it would be better
00:47:49if we tell them everything we know
00:47:51so they could find the real killer
00:47:53and leave you alone.
00:47:55What are you talking about?
00:47:57I told you,
00:47:59we got drunk.
00:48:01We roughed him up a little bit
00:48:03and we took his trunk.
00:48:05We were all three drunk.
00:48:07Mr. Willis was a diabetic.
00:48:09There wasn't a drop of alcohol
00:48:11in his system, Kenny.
00:48:13Tell me the truth.
00:48:17The truth.
00:48:21What do you know about the truth?
00:48:23You want to help me? Believe me.
00:48:31Oh, my Kenny.
00:48:33You are lying to me.
00:48:35I am not
00:48:37lying to you.
00:48:39You're lying.
00:48:41Stop it. Stop it.
00:48:45How do you
00:48:47explain this?
00:49:03Where did you get that?
00:49:07Didn't do a very good job
00:49:09of getting rid of it, did you?
00:49:13I'm trying to protect you.
00:49:15I'm trying
00:49:17to protect you.
00:49:19To protect me
00:49:21from what?
00:49:23From Warren.
00:49:25He killed that man
00:49:27who helped us.
00:49:29He just started going crazy
00:49:31and he was talking crazy
00:49:33and he was...
00:49:35And then all of a sudden, before I knew it,
00:49:37he had pulled that guy out of the truck.
00:49:39I was so afraid to look.
00:49:43I could hear him.
00:49:45I could hear that man begging Warren,
00:49:47please.
00:49:49And Warren just kept screaming
00:49:51and he kept hitting him
00:49:53and hitting him.
00:49:55And I was so afraid
00:49:57I couldn't even get out of the truck
00:49:59and I just sat there scrunched down
00:50:01in the front of the truck
00:50:03but I could hear him.
00:50:07And then
00:50:09Warren came back to the truck
00:50:11and he grabbed me by the shirt
00:50:13and that's when I got
00:50:15all that blood all over me.
00:50:23I'm afraid of him.
00:50:25I've always been
00:50:27afraid of him.
00:50:29He's made me do
00:50:33terrible things.
00:50:37And he told me
00:50:39that if I said anything
00:50:41he was going to kill me.
00:50:47That if I told you
00:50:49and you told anybody he was going to kill you
00:50:51and Dee Dee and Bobby
00:50:53and that's why
00:50:55I threw this shirt away.
00:50:59That's why I've been lying to you.
00:51:01Oh my baby.
00:51:23Throw me one of those rags?
00:51:29Earth to Sharon.
00:51:33Rag?
00:51:35Sorry.
00:51:37I was just thinking.
00:51:39I noticed.
00:51:43Here you go.
00:51:45Thanks.
00:51:47If you stole a loaf of bread
00:51:49because your kids were starving
00:51:51think that would still be considered
00:51:53stealing?
00:51:59Well,
00:52:01that's high school philosophy.
00:52:03Stealing is stealing.
00:52:05You can't redefine it for every new set of circumstances.
00:52:07You don't understand chemistry.
00:52:09You don't understand chemistry.
00:52:11You don't understand chemistry.
00:52:13You don't understand chemistry.
00:52:15It all comes down to every set of circumstances.
00:52:17You don't understand Kenny's life.
00:52:19See, just because he's made a few mistakes
00:52:21he's always the first one
00:52:23they suspect.
00:52:25I understand.
00:52:27I'll do anything to help, you know that.
00:52:29But if Kenny's really
00:52:31innocent
00:52:35he doesn't need our help, does he?
00:52:39The DA asked me to go into her office
00:52:41give her some information.
00:52:43Oh, yeah, help her build a case against Kenny.
00:52:51Get Kenny to tell you what really happened.
00:52:57Then we can figure out what to do.
00:53:00Kenny's already told me what really happened.
00:53:03Warren did it.
00:53:06Sharon, a man was murdered.
00:53:10Warren committed a crime, and now Kenny's getting blamed for it.
00:53:13And you really believe that?
00:53:15That Kenny was just there, that he couldn't do anything to stop it?
00:53:18Yes, I believe it. Of course I believe it.
00:53:20I have to believe it. If I don't believe it, who will?
00:53:40When Danny left me, all he left us was a crummy old house and a stack full of unpaid bills.
00:53:46I sold the house, paid the bills, moved us up a notch.
00:53:52It hasn't been easy, though.
00:53:56Sharon, why'd you call me?
00:53:59What, do I have to have a reason?
00:54:02I thought we liked each other.
00:54:04We do. We do.
00:54:07I just thought maybe you had something to do with the case.
00:54:10I'll just...
00:54:13show you some pictures of Kenny.
00:54:16Look at that. Look at that.
00:54:19Oh, gosh. That wasn't easy, especially for Kenny.
00:54:23He was on the wrestling team?
00:54:25Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, for a while.
00:54:27You know, the coach said he was particularly tough for a kid his size.
00:54:31You bragging about me again, Ma?
00:54:35Donna Mulrooney, this is my son Kenny.
00:54:38Kenny, it's Donna Mulrooney. Nice to meet you.
00:54:41It's nice to meet you, too.
00:54:43Ma, I wanted to talk to you for a couple seconds before I take off again.
00:54:47You know what? I have to go anyway, really.
00:54:49So, um...
00:54:51Thanks for the tea, Sharon. And we still on for dinner tonight?
00:54:54Sure. Yeah, absolutely. My tea.
00:54:56Great. Thanks. Bye-bye.
00:54:59It was nice meeting you.
00:55:05I risked my life to protect you from Warren,
00:55:08and you're having a class reunion with the district attorney?
00:55:11I didn't say anything.
00:55:13Let me tell you something. I appreciate you protecting me.
00:55:17But I'll spend time with whoever I please.
00:55:20Oh!
00:55:22Stay away from her.
00:55:25Bill and I always talk about buying a place
00:55:27away from the city in a setting like this.
00:55:29You know, getting away from a rat race.
00:55:31So why don't you?
00:55:33Oh, I don't know. But it is certainly beautiful here.
00:55:36Things aren't always the way they seem.
00:55:43Donna, please leave Kenny alone.
00:55:45You know, I don't want to.
00:55:47I don't want to hurt him.
00:55:49I don't want to hurt him.
00:55:51Donna, please leave Kenny alone.
00:55:53You know I can't do that, Sharon.
00:55:55I'm going to have to talk to him sooner or later.
00:55:57But it was Warren.
00:55:59How do you know that?
00:56:01What difference does it make? It's true.
00:56:03Well, then, Kenny's an accessory,
00:56:05and I can only protect him so far.
00:56:07On the basis of this alone, I'm going to have to take action.
00:56:10But it's not fair.
00:56:12If he has to be punished for something Warren did.
00:56:14But he was there. Don't bury your head in the sand.
00:56:17He's an accessory to murder, and it's going to go hard on him.
00:56:21Look, I'll do what I can, but there's no guarantee.
00:56:24You see, this is just what I was talking about.
00:56:26Warren forced Kenny into this.
00:56:28And then he threatened to kill him.
00:56:30And then he threatened to kill all of us.
00:56:33Kenny was only trying to protect us.
00:56:36If that's the truth, then we need to find it out if you want to help Kenny.
00:56:39Do you know where Warren Stubbs is?
00:56:41No.
00:56:45Donna, you can't use any of this.
00:56:48If you do, Kenny will know I told you.
00:56:51I'm sorry. I have to.
00:56:54I don't have to tell anyone what you said here. Not yet.
00:56:58But I have every right to pick Stubbs up.
00:57:02As well as Kenny.
00:57:18Come on, we're going to help him.
00:57:21All right.
00:57:43Well, well, well.
00:57:45If it isn't Warren Stubbs and his boy, Kenny.
00:57:47So when they let y'all out?
00:57:49Don't tell me that was you playing.
00:57:51Yeah, I got a new guitar. What do you think?
00:57:53See, somebody busted up my guitar in prison.
00:57:55Used it for firewood.
00:57:57See, they ever find out who started that fire?
00:57:59You know damn well who started that, Fire Warren.
00:58:02Spent eight months making that guitar.
00:58:05Kenny, you're out of jail now.
00:58:07You don't have to hang around with this Neanderthal anymore.
00:58:09Look, don't start any trouble that you don't want to finish.
00:58:13Now I'm real sorry to have to do this to you, Kenny.
00:58:17But I got to admit, it's real nice to do it to you.
00:58:21E! Gordy!
00:58:23Get that white trash out of my bar!
00:58:26And don't be nice about it!
00:58:37Told you I'd take care of him.
00:58:40Come on.
00:58:44It's just me and you.
00:58:46We're tied together with all of that, baby.
00:58:48Just me and you, baby, because I love you.
00:58:50Hey!
00:58:52Run away.
00:58:54Hey, wait!
00:59:13Hey!
00:59:25That's enough.
00:59:29We're not finished yet.
00:59:32I said we're not finished yet.
00:59:36You see, Tony here has the wrong idea about some things.
00:59:48You see, he blames you for those fires that wrecked his guitar.
00:59:53It's not fair to blame you for something that you didn't do.
00:59:58Is it, Warren?
01:00:00Oh, Jesus. Leave him alone, man.
01:00:03You know what's under here, Warren.
01:00:06Tendons.
01:00:08Come on, let's don't do this, please.
01:00:10I mean, his girlfriend's probably getting the cops.
01:00:12Like little rubber bands.
01:00:15You see, everybody forgets about the tendons.
01:00:18They always talk about the muscles.
01:00:20But muscles can be fixed.
01:00:26When you cut the tendons?
01:00:28You may as well cut the whole hand off.
01:00:31It won't ever play the guitar again.
01:00:33Oh, God, no.
01:00:35Get it done.
01:00:37No, no, no.
01:00:45Now that's music.
01:00:49I mean, this is stupid, man.
01:00:51I mean, aren't we in enough trouble already?
01:00:53I mean, come on, I busted his nose. I think that's enough.
01:00:55You think?
01:00:58You don't have enough brains to think.
01:01:01I've been thinking for the both of us since we met.
01:01:05You're crazy, man.
01:01:07We're finished.
01:01:09I'm through with you.
01:01:11What are you talking about, Campbell?
01:01:13What am I supposed to do?
01:01:15What am I supposed to do?
01:01:17Come on, Kenny.
01:01:19Don't call me.
01:01:21Don't think about me.
01:01:23Don't say my name.
01:01:31Wait a minute.
01:01:33Don't say my name.
01:01:41Wait a minute.
01:02:03Turn right.
01:02:07All right, what you got?
01:02:09Something rusty?
01:02:11Poop.
01:02:13Oh, jeez.
01:02:15Oh, jeez, jeez, jeez.
01:02:17Oh, yeah.
01:02:19Poop.
01:02:21Oh, that's sad.
01:02:23That is sad.
01:02:25That is sad.
01:02:45Ouch.
01:02:47Oh, yeah.
01:02:49Oh, yeah.
01:02:51Oh, yeah.
01:02:53Oh, yeah.
01:03:07Hi, honey.
01:03:09Sorry I'm late getting back,
01:03:11but I see you aren't home from Millie yet either.
01:03:13The reason I'm late,
01:03:15I stopped to help a couple of young guys
01:03:17and their mom near Plate Ridge.
01:03:19Well, I'll see you later.
01:03:21Who's Kenny?
01:03:23Everybody's always blaming me,
01:03:25but I tell you, he's crazy.
01:03:27I want to know what happened
01:03:29to Mark Willis.
01:03:31I wanted to rob him.
01:03:33I pulled his own gun on him.
01:03:35I wanted that truck.
01:03:37I admit that.
01:03:39I was going to let him go,
01:03:41but Kenny had to go berserk.
01:03:43He shoots him and bashes his head in.
01:03:45You don't believe me.
01:03:51And then he leaves the truck.
01:03:53He didn't even want it.
01:03:55I tell you, the guy's psycho.
01:03:57Ask Tony Charon.
01:03:59He'll tell you.
01:04:01He knows the truth about Kenny now.
01:04:03He'll tell.
01:04:05I hit him,
01:04:07but it was Kenny that cut his hand.
01:04:09I mean, you ask him.
01:04:11He'll tell you.
01:04:21Are you waiting for an engraved invitation?
01:04:23I don't feel like going to school.
01:04:25I think I'll skip today.
01:04:29Maybe I can go down in the boats
01:04:31with you and help you.
01:04:33We could hang out.
01:04:37Get your ass on that bus.
01:04:39Now.
01:04:52What are you looking at me like that for?
01:04:55I'm not looking at you anyway.
01:04:57Yeah, well, I'm sorry if I scared the hell out of him,
01:04:59but one of me and this family is enough.
01:05:01I didn't say anything.
01:05:03Anyway, I think that you're right.
01:05:05Do you want some breakfast or something?
01:05:07You scared me.
01:05:11No.
01:05:13Baby, I'm like a dog.
01:05:15I can smell fear.
01:05:17I told you,
01:05:19I told you I'm not afraid of you.
01:05:33Hey.
01:05:35I know that having a brother like me
01:05:37has not been easy.
01:05:39But that's all different now.
01:05:41Okay?
01:05:45Now I only get on his case
01:05:47because he's a kid
01:05:49and he still has a chance
01:05:51not to make the same mistakes that I made.
01:05:55I'm doing it because I love him.
01:05:57Just like I love you.
01:06:03I know.
01:06:17I know.
01:06:33McKinney!
01:06:35Can I talk to you a second?
01:06:39McKinney!
01:06:47McKinney!
01:07:13I didn't do anything!
01:07:15You have the right to remain silent
01:07:17if you think you've made a mistake,
01:07:19and will be used against you in court as well.
01:07:21You also have the right to an attorney
01:07:23and a 4-1-1 will be provided for you.
01:07:45So you believe he's guilty, don't you?
01:07:53It's not up to me.
01:07:57Could you just answer my question?
01:07:59Don't try to protect me or help me.
01:08:07Kenny may not have pulled the trigger,
01:08:11and he may not have hit Willis with that tire iron,
01:08:13but he may have pulled the trigger.
01:08:17God knows what they were like in prison.
01:08:21Kenny and Warren were nothing alike.
01:08:23I mean, Kenny tried to stop Warren.
01:08:25Sharon, take the blinders off.
01:08:27Stop seeing him as your son
01:08:29and see him for what he is.
01:08:31Your son was involved in a murder.
01:08:33Maybe.
01:08:35We don't know that for sure.
01:08:37At least...
01:08:39I'm not absolutely sure enough
01:08:41to turn my back on him and walk away.
01:08:43He's my firstborn child.
01:08:45Sharon.
01:08:47Don't you even understand?
01:08:49It's what you want to believe.
01:08:51What if it's all true?
01:08:53What if Kenny's telling the truth
01:08:55and we send him back to prison?
01:08:57Not because we don't have a reasonable doubt,
01:09:01but because we're not absolutely sure.
01:09:05Sharon, you're not sure.
01:09:07And you're all playing judge and jury.
01:09:11I want to be on your side,
01:09:13but being on your side
01:09:15doesn't mean helping you hide from the truth.
01:09:17Ian, where are you going?
01:09:19I think it'd be better for both of us if I went home.
01:09:21Better for both of us?
01:09:23Who's hiding from the truth now?
01:09:25I want to stand with you.
01:09:29But I can't make everything disappear
01:09:31just because you want me to.
01:09:37There are some things we can't change.
01:09:41I love you, Sharon.
01:09:43I want to be with you.
01:09:45I want to help.
01:09:47If you're going to leave, you better go on.
01:09:59Nothing's changed, Skip.
01:10:01I don't understand.
01:10:03There's way too much heat on you and your family right now.
01:10:05It's my brother.
01:10:07It has nothing to do with me.
01:10:09I'm sorry, Dee Dee. It's nothing personal.
01:10:11My parents.
01:10:13Understand?
01:10:17See you later.
01:10:39Bye.
01:10:51Hi.
01:10:53Hi.
01:10:55You feel like taking a ride?
01:10:57No.
01:11:01I don't want to go.
01:11:03I think you should.
01:11:09I'm sorry.
01:11:33This is where it happened.
01:11:35And those are from the crime scene.
01:11:37I want you to look at them.
01:11:41You're going to hear it all in court, Sharon.
01:11:43I'm just trying to help you.
01:12:05You're trying to use me to put my son on death row?
01:12:07If you really believe that, I'll take you home right now.
01:12:35Warren must have found Willis' gun.
01:12:37A .38 Special.
01:12:39Kept in the seat for protection.
01:12:45After they left you, they drove around.
01:12:47Eventually ending up here as the morning sun was coming up.
01:12:57We can't really say when the beatings began,
01:12:59but we know he was shot.
01:13:01We can't really say when the beatings began,
01:13:03but we know he was worked over pretty good
01:13:05before arriving here.
01:13:07There was a lot of blood in the car.
01:13:15He was chased down like an animal
01:13:17before he was shot in the leg
01:13:19just to bring him down
01:13:21so the game could continue.
01:13:27Then somebody hit him with a tire iron.
01:13:29Not just once.
01:13:31Over and over and over.
01:13:35It was almost as if the fear and the pain kept him alive.
01:13:43The coroner said it took him almost ten minutes to die.
01:13:55Think his wife would see me?
01:13:57I'd like to tell her how sorry I am.
01:14:03I don't know.
01:14:05I can ask her.
01:14:07I'll take you.
01:14:11I need to go alone.
01:14:19Can you get me out of here?
01:14:27Okay.
01:14:41If you don't like the coffee cake,
01:14:43we have lots of cookies.
01:14:45I've been baking a lot lately.
01:14:47I don't know why.
01:14:49Everyone comes over, brings something.
01:14:53I guess I just like the smell of baking in the house.
01:14:57Not much.
01:15:09You're staring at me.
01:15:11I'm sorry.
01:15:13I'm sorry.
01:15:15That's okay.
01:15:17I know why.
01:15:19That woman from the DA's office was shot.
01:15:21I agreed to this meeting.
01:15:23Mrs. Willis,
01:15:25I'd like to tell you that I'm
01:15:27really very grateful that you did agree to meet with me.
01:15:33Mark used to sit here for hours listening to his CDs.
01:15:37He loved music.
01:15:39It's funny.
01:15:41It's what I can't get used to.
01:15:43The quiet.
01:15:45It's all we ever wanted.
01:15:47Peace and quiet.
01:15:49We came up here for quiet.
01:15:51Now I can't stand it.
01:15:55You know, all I wanted to do
01:15:57was come up here and tell you
01:15:59how sorry I am.
01:16:13Well, now I'm here
01:16:15and I can't find the words to express.
01:16:21Kenny.
01:16:23Please.
01:16:25Don't talk about him.
01:16:27I'm glad that you came
01:16:29and I can see that Mark's death
01:16:31has hurt you too.
01:16:33But please don't mention your son.
01:16:37I don't think I can stand that.
01:16:51Excuse me.
01:16:57Hello?
01:16:59Oh, hi, Stan.
01:17:01Yes, yes, I know.
01:17:03Thank you so much for calling.
01:17:07No, I'm holding up.
01:17:11You know how much he enjoyed
01:17:13those fishing trips together with you.
01:17:17He was always bragging about
01:17:19his big trout.
01:17:35Yeah?
01:17:37Sorry to bother you.
01:17:39I had no idea
01:17:41you'd be working
01:17:43so late.
01:17:45I guess we both know
01:17:47what's keeping you so busy.
01:17:51What's the matter, Sharon?
01:17:53He's going to prison
01:17:55for the rest of his life, isn't he?
01:17:57Feel like my whole world's falling apart?
01:17:59Stay right there. I'll be right over.
01:18:01No, no.
01:18:03Don't have to do that.
01:18:05I want to, okay? Just stay put.
01:18:07Oh.
01:18:09Could you put on a pot of coffee?
01:18:11Thanks.
01:18:16You want a cup?
01:18:18Yeah, might as well.
01:18:20I'm going to be up all night anyway.
01:18:29God, you must be a lousy mother.
01:18:31That's crap.
01:18:33You loved your kids.
01:18:35You did the best you knew how.
01:18:37Hey, look, don't patronize me, okay?
01:18:39This is the second time
01:18:41my son's been in prison.
01:18:44What does that say about me?
01:18:46What does it say
01:18:48about me as a mom?
01:18:53What didn't...
01:18:55What didn't I give him
01:18:57as a mother?
01:18:59Let me tell you something.
01:19:01I see a lot of parents
01:19:03with troubled kids in my work.
01:19:05It isn't always the parents' fault.
01:19:07Well, if that's true
01:19:09about Kenny,
01:19:11I want to know
01:19:13where the hell I was
01:19:15all those years.
01:19:23Go talk to him, Sharon.
01:19:25And look at him
01:19:27when he talks to you.
01:19:29Really look.
01:19:31You'll know if you want to know.
01:19:33Really look.
01:19:35You'll know if you want to know
01:19:37whether or not he's telling the truth.
01:19:49What did you think was gonna happen to me?
01:19:51I'm in prison again.
01:19:53What did you think was gonna happen to me?
01:19:55Kenny.
01:19:57I don't want to talk about it.
01:19:59And don't tell Bobby.
01:20:01He's already freaking out about it.
01:20:03Have you talked to your lawyer?
01:20:07Do you like him?
01:20:09Her.
01:20:11See, since we couldn't cough up enough cash,
01:20:13I get the best public defender money couldn't buy.
01:20:15I'll borrow money then.
01:20:17I'll get a better lawyer.
01:20:19Ian will help.
01:20:21He hasn't left you yet
01:20:23since he found out you have such a rotten kid.
01:20:25Kenny.
01:20:27Hey, don't worry.
01:20:29You know what a good job
01:20:31the public defender did for me the last time?
01:20:35I mean, heck,
01:20:37this brought past your bar exam on the fourth try.
01:20:39What do I got to worry about?
01:20:41Kenny.
01:20:43Kenny.
01:20:45Come here.
01:20:47Kenny.
01:20:49Come.
01:20:51Come here.
01:20:53You have to tell me
01:20:55everything that happened.
01:20:57Maybe we can prove
01:20:59that Warren did it all.
01:21:01You had nothing to do with it.
01:21:05You were just there.
01:21:07You expect people to believe me?
01:21:09I expect them to believe me.
01:21:11Good luck.
01:21:13Please.
01:21:15No.
01:21:17Kenny,
01:21:19this is the last time I'm going to ask you.
01:21:27Willis had a gun
01:21:29in his truck.
01:21:31Warren saw it
01:21:33and took it.
01:21:35When you went off
01:21:37to get gas,
01:21:39I took a walk up there
01:21:41just to say thank you
01:21:43and good night.
01:21:45And Warren was holding
01:21:47that gun on him.
01:21:49I got in there
01:21:51just to try to calm Warren down.
01:21:53Sometimes I can do that,
01:21:55but
01:21:57not this time.
01:21:59He was mad.
01:22:01He was real mad.
01:22:05He was mad at your boyfriend
01:22:07for treating him like dirt.
01:22:11You didn't know about that, did you?
01:22:13Yeah, he...
01:22:15He did. It's true. I saw him.
01:22:21Anyway,
01:22:23Warren was
01:22:25going on about how much money
01:22:27this guy had
01:22:29and
01:22:31I figured we were just going to take his truck,
01:22:33make him walk home.
01:22:39But as he started to walk away,
01:22:41Warren shot at him.
01:22:45And he just kept on running
01:22:47and Warren kept shooting at him.
01:22:49But he couldn't kill him.
01:22:51So Warren starts
01:22:53to play with him.
01:22:59There's a little
01:23:01trickle of blood
01:23:03coming down from his nose.
01:23:07And he's saying
01:23:09no
01:23:11and why.
01:23:15Warren just keeps on running
01:23:17and Warren just keeps
01:23:19beating him.
01:23:23And then he pulls over
01:23:25and he gets the tire on him.
01:23:31You could
01:23:33see it in his eyes. He knew
01:23:35what was coming.
01:23:37His eyes were so
01:23:39wide open with fear.
01:23:41He's
01:23:43mumbling
01:23:45and babbling
01:23:47some pathetic
01:23:51and Warren
01:23:53smashes his head.
01:23:57And you could feel
01:23:59his skull crack
01:24:01again
01:24:03and again.
01:24:11You gotta
01:24:13get me out of here.
01:24:15Alright.
01:24:17You listen to me.
01:24:19You gotta get me out of this.
01:24:21This is your fault.
01:24:23It was your fault
01:24:25that I was set up in the first place.
01:24:33Mom.
01:24:35Mom!
01:24:37Where are you...
01:24:39Where the hell are you going?
01:24:41Mom!
01:25:09Mom!
01:25:15Hey, Mom.
01:25:17Are you back so soon?
01:25:21Or do you want me to tell you the story all over again?
01:25:23How many times do you gotta hear it?
01:25:25Or are you just gonna believe me?
01:25:27You're my mother.
01:25:29You're supposed to believe me.
01:25:31What the hell?
01:25:39Mom?
01:25:43What are you doing? Did you sleep out here all night?
01:25:45Yeah, I guess
01:25:47I must have dozed off.
01:25:49What time is it?
01:25:51Like seven.
01:25:55Hey, Deedee!
01:25:57Deedee, wait, wait, wait.
01:25:59Where are you going?
01:26:01Study.
01:26:03You think maybe you could
01:26:05stay around here?
01:26:07Have your friends
01:26:09come over here to study.
01:26:13I don't have friends anymore.
01:26:17What are you talking about?
01:26:25I think you're the only one that's having a hard time.
01:26:27Do you ever think
01:26:29that maybe I might be having a hard time, too?
01:26:33Oh, don't worry about Deedee.
01:26:35As long as Bobby's fed and the laundry's done...
01:26:39Deedee, sweetie, I'm sorry.
01:26:43I'm all grown up now
01:26:45and I don't ever remember being a kid, you know?
01:26:47Do you ever think about that?
01:26:51I don't think so.
01:27:01Deedee, I'm sorry.
01:27:05I'm sorry.
01:27:21You came to see me?
01:27:23No.
01:27:25I was just passing by
01:27:27and I stopped to sit down for a minute.
01:27:29Sharon, I've been watching you from my window.
01:27:31You came to see me. Why?
01:27:35It was nothing.
01:27:39You didn't come all the way down here for nothing.
01:27:45I made a mistake. I gotta go.
01:27:47Hey, hey.
01:27:49I know you saw Kenny yesterday.
01:27:51You know something.
01:27:53I can't talk to you about this.
01:27:55He did it, didn't he?
01:27:57Kenny killed Mark Lewis.
01:27:59Sharon, I've never lied to you
01:28:01and you've never lied to me.
01:28:03He murdered that man, Kenny,
01:28:05not Warren. No.
01:28:07He made Connie Willis a widow. He destroyed those lives.
01:28:09It was him, wasn't it?
01:28:11No!
01:28:17Oh, God.
01:28:23I brought a monster into the world.
01:28:27Sharon, people like Kenny
01:28:29don't just happen.
01:28:31He's beyond what a mother can do.
01:28:33I could have done something.
01:28:35No.
01:28:41Donna, what do I do now?
01:28:43You have to testify.
01:28:45No, I can't.
01:28:47No matter what he's done.
01:28:51I have to protect him.
01:28:53I'm his mother.
01:29:01You know where to find me.
01:29:31No.
01:29:37No.
01:29:41No.
01:29:43Your Honor, the State
01:29:45calls Sharon Carlson.
01:29:57Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth,
01:29:59and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
01:30:01Your Honor, I'd like permission to treat this witness
01:30:03as a hostile witness.
01:30:05Miss Carlson,
01:30:07I will spare you the difficulty of repeating the events of the night
01:30:09in question. It's already been established
01:30:11that your son and Warren Stubbs
01:30:13were present at the time of death.
01:30:15I'm only going to ask you one question.
01:30:17Do you know which one killed
01:30:19Mark Willis?
01:30:25Miss Carlson.
01:30:27The conversation you and I had three days ago
01:30:29in the courtyard of this building.
01:30:31Do you recall that conversation?
01:30:33Yes.
01:30:37Look at your son, Miss Carlson.
01:30:41I can't.
01:30:43Why not? Is it because you know he killed
01:30:45Mark Willis? Is it because
01:30:47you know he shot Mark Willis?
01:30:49And when that wasn't enough,
01:30:51took a tire iron and beat him
01:30:53to death?
01:30:55Miss Carlson, under oath,
01:30:57do you know whether or not
01:30:59your son killed Mark Willis?
01:31:01Yes.
01:31:03And how do you know that?
01:31:05Because I found a shirt.
01:31:07It was a plaid shirt.
01:31:09He had it on that night.
01:31:11And it was covered with blood.
01:31:15He told me he was nowhere
01:31:17near the murder.
01:31:19He told me he was frightened and he hid
01:31:21so that Warren couldn't hear him
01:31:23and that the blood got on his shirt
01:31:25from Warren's hands.
01:31:27I knew that
01:31:29couldn't have been true
01:31:31because...
01:31:35Well, I guess I just
01:31:39waited too long to believe it.
01:31:49I waited too long
01:31:51to listen.
01:31:53Is that why you can't look at him?
01:31:57I can't look at him because when I do,
01:31:59I don't see my son.
01:32:09Your Honor,
01:32:11at this time, the prosecution requests a recess
01:32:13so that we can obtain the evidence in question
01:32:15and have it fully examined.
01:32:17Thank you.
01:32:21Thank you.
01:32:29Hey.
01:32:31Hey.
01:32:33Salad.
01:32:35Let me try some.
01:32:39Do you need one?
01:32:41Yeah.
01:32:51Thank you.
01:32:57Is there enough
01:32:59for one more?
01:33:01If it's you.
01:33:05Come on.
01:33:07Okay.
01:33:21Thank you.
01:33:51Thank you.
01:34:21Thank you.
01:34:51Thank you.
01:35:21Thank you.
