Dead of winter, cold as all hell.
A man hails a cab, he slides in,
sits in the warmth in the back seat.
[car revving]
A few miles down the road, cab hits a sheet of black ice,
starts spinning outta control,
heading towards the edge of the bridge,
nothing but blackness below.
Driver screams, "We're all gonna die!"
[steam hissing]
The man calmly leans forward and softly says,
"Could you turn the radio up?"
[car rumbling] [metal clanking]
[radio broadcasting quietly]
I don't get it, which one are you?
The driver or the guy in the back?
Both.
[blow thudding] [glass shattering]
Hey, hey!

Good, yeah, getting there.
Need you back on 32 tomorrow,
once you get this buttoned up.
Okay, yeah.
Think you can handle
two of Jim's shifts next week?
Well, hell yeah.
Good, 'cause he'll need to take the week off,
the kid died.
What?
Shit, Caleb?
Well, he's gonna take the week, funeral and all.
Yeah, yeah.
Damn, what the hell happened?
Overdose, ****ing pills or whatever else.
It's a shame too, he was a good kid,
he used to be, I don't know.
Yeah. [Mike sighing heavily]
I gotta.
Thanks, Mike.
Yep.

I still don't get why it's gotta be so loud.
Well, 'cause loud is fast.
So how come you race and Mama doesn't?
Well, baby girl, 'cause your Mama's smart.
And you're what?
Well, I'm tough and strong.
And Mama's not strong?
Oh, geez, girl.
Look, sometimes it's not about,
you know, how much you can lift, right,
but about how much weight you can carry,
that makes you strong, you know what that means?
Maybe.
You know those, ah, those big, old trees
we learned about out there in California,
ones so big you can drive a car right through them?
Yeah.
You know how those trees survived for thousands of years,
right, just standing there
and then one day, a skinny, little man,
your height, maybe even smaller than you comes along, right,
with a little ax, a few hours,
he cuts that big, old tree down.
She's a skinny man?
No, baby girl, the ax, right, she might be small,
but damn, she can cut that big old tree down.
She doesn't need to race to prove she's tough.
She doesn't even need to cut down a big, old tree,
you know, like the ax, right?
You can just take one look at her,
realize what she's capable of, that's your Mama.
Daddy says you're an ax.
[Caroline laughing softly] Hey.
What, like an old battle ax?
No, not an ax, I meant like a,
a shiny, you know, slender blade.
Boy, I can cut you down to size.
Yeah, ain't that the truth?
Get me in trouble.
Trey's stopping by.
Oh great, well, he can slide under there
and help me swap that, that rear end.
Oh well, good luck,
that boy doesn't know a monkey wrench from his ***hole.
Mama!
Hey, come on, help me with dinner.
But I'm helping Dad.
Come on, he can clean up his own mess.
Let's go. Thanks for nothing.
[soft melodic music]
[soft melodic music continues]
Damn, never miss home cooked meals,
until I get them.
Doesn't beer count as home cooked if you live at a bar?
[laughing] I live above a bar, cut me some slack.
No, seriously though, that was delicious.
Not as good as your mom's, but pretty decent.
[police car siren blasting briefly]
Oh, shit, damn.
You knew. [car door clicking]
Well, I didn't know if you'd come otherwise.
Well, I wouldn't have. Oh yeah, I know.
[car door thudding]
Oh, hey there, Uncle Bodie.
Hey, Shelby, how's my favorite driver?
Good, good.
What do you know, Trey?
Just here for the food, same as you.
Oh, I'm guilty.
[Trey chuckling]
You take care of that ticket?
It's in the mail, Sheriff.
Aren't they all?
How you holding up, Sheriff?
I'm still standing.
[footsteps thudding] Oh-oh!
Oh, oh, no, no, no, my heart, my heart is racing.
Are you the most beautiful princess in the world?
Mr. Bodie, Mama got you a plate.
Plate? I ain't here for no plate.
I'm here on official police business.
Yeah, I bet, like every week.
What? I am. [Trey chuckling]
Come on.
Ah, you're too good to me, thank you.
We missed you at service Sunday.
Yeah, you know, I don't know about that new preacher.
Call me old fashioned, but I'm kind of more of a,
I don't know, fire and brimstone type of guy, you know?
Yeah, I hear that.
Well, I hate to grab a plate and run,
but I think y'all don't really watch me eat.
[Bodie and Caroline laughing]
Goodnight, Sheriff.
Take care now. You too.
All right, little lady, bedtime.
Oh!
No, no.
[car door thudding]
Night, Daddy.
Sweet dreams, beauty, I love you.
All right. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Whoa, come on! Night, booger.
Goodnight, little booger.
[laughing] Come on.
[dog barking in distance]
Hey, Earnhardt.
[pill bottle rattling]
Thank you.
How long you gonna do this for?
I don't know, as long as it takes.
Fine anyway, these are doing the trick.
It killed Muhammad Ali, this shit ain't no joke.
And you think I don't know that, Trey?
What the hell you want me to do, man?
Let me just get our heads above water,
then we can deal with me, all right?
You can't get shit by her, you know that, you never could.
Think I like keeping secrets from her, Trey?
Just give me some ****ing room, huh?
Your funeral.
[fingers snapping]
Come grab this side.
Now? We just, we just ate.
Now, ****er, let's go!
All right, all right, all right.

I don't know, man,
Caroline's gonna be home in a few minutes.
Come on, I wanna show you something.
Now, I know you don't like to be seen in an import,
but get in.
What's going on, Trey?
Ain't nothing going on, just take a ****ing ride with me.
30 minutes, I'll have you home.
Yeah, all right, all right.
If I wake up in Mexico with no pants on,
Caroline's gonna cut your nuts off.
[laughing] Your pants will stay on, I promise.
They'd better.
Unless you're feeling frisky.
Hey, buy me an Oreo shake and we'll talk.

Been here, what, 20 years,

Tokyo Green, Hulk here is unbeatable.
[car revving] [Trey laughing]
Oh my God, Trey, ****ing embarrassing, man.
I can't be seen in this piece of shit, Christ.
Whoo, listen to that purr.
That's what I'm talking about right there, bro.
Whoo! [car rumbling]
Don't kill us Trey, Jesus.
[Trey laughing]
[handbrake cranking]
What, man, what is this?
That. [Shelby laughing]
What you working on your black belt?
Nope.
Okay, so what is it?
100 K,
cash at least.
What is?
What do you know about Oxy?
I don't know shit about Oxy, Trey, nothing, man,
don't need to, get me outta here.
There's a doc in there, some bullshit hack.
People come in, "This hurts and that hurts,"
and Doc will write out a script for them,
hundreds of them every day.
Okay, what the hell's that got to do with me?
And now these yokels, they go and fulfill those scripts
and guess what?
They come right back here.
Those pills go in and out that back door
and sold all over the county.
[sighing] Man, I don't ****ing care, right, take me home.
And once they sell those pills,
they bring that cash right back here,
hundreds and thousands of dollars
running through this piece of shit right here every week
and nothing but a couple of backwood inbreds running it.
Trey, are you ****ing kidding me?
Nope.
Are you suggesting that we stroll in there
and we take that money?
[sighing] We can, we can.
Man, that's a stupid ****ing idea. [laughing]
Never ever seen more than one or two tweakers
in there guarding that place.
It ain't rocket science.
Well, that's for damn sure.
Shel, they're killing people with this shit,
you've seen it.
I know.
We all have, this town is dying
and these ****ers are getting rich from it.
That's your cash in there, that's our cash,
we put our blood, sweat and tears into this town
and they're just taking it all from us.
This whole place is becoming a ****ing cliche.
First the factories fold,
then no jobs, no hope
and then these leeches, they come in,
they suck what's left off the bottom.

Well, I'm still upright, praise Jesus.
Yes, ma'am, I hear that.
[sighing] Early this month, huh?
Yeah.
Oh, damn it, I'm so sorry.
I appreciate that, Ms. Whitney.
You know what? Hm?
Might as well have that too.
All righty.

Of course.
Well, good, 'cause I do love that bed. [laughing]
Hey, you know what, why don't you take a couple hundred
and get that old bluff from Kenny?
You know, keep going a few more weekends,
I mean, you said Mike gave you those shifts.
Oh baby, I told you,
I can't fix it with what we got, stays broke.
Damn, I love you. [soft melodic music]
What are y'all talking about?
Little girls not finishing packing
and getting left behind. You have three minutes
or this train's leaving with or without you.
I just need someone to sit on it while I zip.
Okay, I'll be up in a few minutes.
Well, I'm leaving in three.

I do love a turbo V6.

[door clicking] [bell chiming]

[church bells chiming]
Ben. [bell dinging]
Bodie. What do you know?
You see the statement from the doc and Ms. Whitney?
[church bells chiming]
Is that it on your seat?
Then how did I see it?
Well, the doc wants immunity.
Is that right? Yeah.
He says this thing they got into goes all the way down
to a New Orleans outfit, down that way.
Pills, clinics, girls, money,
he's saying it's a damn empire, Bodie.
You know what they're saying? This outfit is mob.
Will you stop it acting like a preteen
at a Beatles concert, for God's sake?
What does the state say, they want in?
Nope. They don't want in?
Nope.
Why not?
State line thing, they're saying DEA,
can you believe that, DEA here?
What Ms. Whitney say?
Not much, don't ask, don't tell.
Paid her cash though.
Hm.
Lordy, it's just Sunday, damn.
That ain't all.
You found the shotgun vic?
Yeah, well, a neighbor found him.
You got him?
He's dead.
Well, how, did he bleed out?
Oh yeah. Pills?
Pills and blood, for sure, but that ain't what did him in,
a lamp cord around his neck killed him.
Hm.
Shit. [sighing]
Shit? Someone's cleaning up, Bodie, mob.
Well, at least you got the right shoes on today.
[Ben laughing]
Hey, Bodie, do you think the DEA
will give me one of those jackets?
Well, slap you to sleep and slap you for sleeping.
Now get outta here.

Get up.
Hey, listen, I won't talk.
Uh! [glass shattering]
[door clicking]
Get down.
[Shelby thudding to floor]
Give me your hands.
[zip tie whirring]
I don't ****ing know you.
No, sir.
So what do you want?
Well, I heard y'all thought it was a good idea
to steal from the Nola folk, said y'all thought
we were all a bunch of stupid ****s,
wouldn't do shit about it, that true?
I don't know what that means, none of it.
But if something was stolen from you
and that something's been returned,
I don't see why we can't forget the whole thing,
just go on about our lives,
over here, wherever you come from.
[plastic rustling]
No, no, no, no, no, no!
Hey, hey, please, look,
hey, look, this can be worked out, okay.
All right, whatever happened, all right,
wrongs can be righted.
Well, that's why I'm here.
Okay, well, let's do that then,
okay, let's just talk about it.
[Trey groaning]
Hey, you got what you came here for, huh?
Almost.
[Trey groaning loudly] [zip tie whirring]
No, no!
No, ****ing no, Trey, no!

Morning, Shel.
Hi, Uncle Bodie.
What you doing out around these parts?
Hell you been, boy?
Oh, I got a couple of hog traps out at the end of 5-79,
weir been rising a little, I guess,
they've all been underwater now,
just had to move them a little higher.
Well, better you than me, I'd just as soon shoot them.
Anyway, I'm here looking for Trey.
Hm, yeah?
Yeah, you seen him, heard from him?
No, no, not in a couple of days, I guess.
You know, Caroline's back with her folks,
so he, ah, he hasn't been around.
Okay. Why, what's going on?
Oh, probably nothing, I got a call early this morning
from the High Bar,
they were complaining about noise and whatnot
and I gotta check it out,
'cause if a bar is complaining
about noise from an apartment upstairs, [laughing]
But as I said, it's probably nothing, you know Trey.
Yeah, I do.
Yeah.
So what happened here?
[soft tense music]
Just locked myself out.
Hm,
and when you broke the glass, it went this way?
Caroline took Mila to her folks
up in Tupelo for a few days,
we, ah, we got into it the other night,
threw a damn beer through the window. [sighing]
That's why she left, you know,
it's all just getting to us, you know, just everything.
Yeah, I do know, I was married for 38 years,
but I'd get this cleaned up before Mila comes back,
those little feet, oh, you know, that's my princess.
Yes, sir, will do.
All right, let me know if Trey turns up
and good luck tonight.
Thank you.
Oh, does Trey still drive that, that Jap thing?
Yes, sir, he does,
can't get him to go American quite just yet.
All right, take care.
Yeah, you too. All right.
[soft tense music]
[water gushing]
[soft tense music]
[soft tense music continues]
Pack of Camels.
Ah, there you go.
That's eight even.
[bell dinging]
Thank you.
There you go.
Say, what do y'all do in this town?
[cash drawer thudding] Pardon me?
Oh, no disrespect, old timer,
but what do people do here?
Like for fun?
People have fun here?
[laughing] Well, sure, I mean,
we got the track on Monday nights
and hunting and football in the fall, I guess.
So between shooting squirrels and high school football,
people just kind of meander around waiting to die?
I, I guess.
No, that, that ain't right.
You grow up around here?
About a mile that a way.
When you were growing up,
you always wanted to run the local gas station?
Oh, you know,
my daddy ran the station down there on old 24,
I guess I just followed suit.
Here you are, huh?
Yes, sir, here I am.
You got kids?
Got a son, he grown though.
I see, what's he do?
[laughing] You ask a lot of questions.
[motorcycle rumbling] I'm intrigued.
Y'all intrigue me.
All right.
Well, come back.
[door clicking] [bell chiming]
Pardon me.
Eat a ****, fancy ****.

Unaffiliated locals, that's all, I'm dealing with it.
I'll recover what was taken, I just need a bit more time.
I would like the responsible party

Noted. Yeah.

Yep, a woman too.
They talk?
Talking, not sure how much yet,

No.

What you got there,
nine mill, .45?
No, .38.
Were you gonna kill me?
Yeah, I was thinking about it.
Well, pull it out.
Go on.
[cicadas chirping] [dog barking in distance]
Because their blood will paint the ****ing walls
of that shit place down on Kent Street.
Kill me or don't, whatever,
it won't be me either way.
I don't kill the innocent.
No, it'll be that gorilla of a man down there
watching your little girl play in the yard who does it,
who rips them apart and dances on their bodies.
So you better keep that little .38
tucked in there nice and snug,
because brother, I'm the only friend you got.

Everything.
[background people chattering]

I'm just a man.

Your world?
This ain't your world, your life,
you don't control this shit.
Sure, sure.

For him.
Tick tock goes the doc.
Follow him.
[car engine starting]
[car rumbling]
All right, when he hits the highway,
you're gonna pull alongside him easy,
like you're gonna pass him.
No, I can't do that.

Goddammit, Sheriff, the hell's wrong with you?
I do apologize, but it is urgent.
Now I have reason to believe that your life is in danger,
so what I want you to do is just pack a couple of things
and come with me.
The hell you do and the hell I am.
Ms. Whitney. I don't care
about what happened down at that clinic,
I'm staying the hell out of it.
Okay, you win, now would it be all right with you
and with your permission, if I just had my deputy
stay outside parked there?
As long as he's off my property,
I don't give a rat's *** what he does.

angry as if you didn't take it upon yourself
to rob some very wealthy and powerful people at gunpoint
and didn't get away with it, as if what's happening now
wasn't a direct result of your own actions,
that's the feeling I'm getting.
I didn't ask for this shit.

No.
No, **** you, get the **** away from me.
Shelby, I don't kill innocent people, I told you that.
Well, I'm sure as shit not gonna do it.
Well, I'm gonna show you something right now.
I have to give you a warning before I do,
it's gonna be very unpleasant.
[Caroline groaning fearfully]
[Clayton thudding] Uh!
I'll kill you.
I swear to God I'll kill you, I'll do it.

Shelby.

I don't believe I know you.
This here's my new sponsor over from New Orleans.
Fred Ellsworth, Ellsworth Construction.
Nola, huh?
Most of the time,
I'm opening up a small shop down these parts
and recognize the power of local marketing
through this here young talent.
Tax trip, huh?
Hm. Hm
What you got there going on?
Oh, [laughing]
yeah, I nicked it on, ah,
I nicked it on, on the door getting out of this old car,
just clumsy is all.
All right, so what is this, a early morning meeting?
[laughing] Hog hunting.
Really now?
That's right, "Showing this city slicker how it's done,"
he said, so.
In those?
Oh, God, I hope not,
I mean, these are, these are way too expensive to get dirty.
No, I won't do that to you, I got some mucks for him.
Oh, good.
You're welcome to join if you'd like, Sheriff.
Oh, no, Shelby here uses a bow, that's a young man's game,
too much running around for me.
I like, I like to keep a distance, you know?
So they don't see me coming.
Well, now I know what I'm in for.
Yeah, you do.
[soft tense music]
So Caroline, Mila, they're still back in Tupelo way
or what's going on?
Yes, sir, yeah, through the week, I reckon.
Ah-huh.
You know, Mila just, ah,
just loves that little house there on Kent Street.
Shelby, talk to you.
Yeah, you guys get it.
[Bodie clearing throat]
You seen Trey?
Oh, no, not since last week when he was here.
Mm-hm.
We found his car.
No shit?
No shit, Firestone Factory all banged up.
Hell. Mm-hm.
Not considered missing, is he?
You okay?
Yeah, just getting ready to get out there.
You wanna tell me something?
Anything?
Go ahead, go ahead.
That robbery at the clinic a few days ago.
Mm-hm.
I, ah, I think that was Trey.
You do now?
Yeah and then the murder of the, ah,
the doctor I heard about last night,
yeah, I think maybe Trey's trying
to, I don't know, clean up.
Hm, well.
I'm real worried about him, Uncle Bodie.
Yeah, it was more than 100 K,
that could change a man's life, could ruin it.
You telling the truth?
[sighing] All right,
now you, you tell me if you run into Trey.
Will do.
Now what's your name again?
Fred.
Fred, it's a pleasure.
Nice meeting you, Sheriff.
Now you be careful of them hogs there.
They're ugly *******s and they'll get your goose
and they'll put a tusk right straight through you,
like it was nothing,
leave you out there on the field bleeding.
Jesus.
Thanks for the warning.
All right, well, get after it, yep.
See you, Sheriff.

Ben, do it now.
10-4, Bodie. I'll see you at the office.
[car rumbling quietly]
What did you have to say over there?
Just looking for the guy you killed
with the trash bag is all.
And where is he?
Gone.
It's almost that time, take me to my car.
[soft tense orchestral music]
[soft tense orchestral music continues]
[keys jangling]
You gonna stab me or slit my throat?
Maybe both.
Who's the battle ax?
The one who taught me it's not how hard you swing it,
but how sharp it is.
[pill bottle rattling]
So let me get this straight,
small town race car driver with Parkinson's
struggles to make ends meet
for his wife and his little daughter.
Goddamn!
We all play the hand we're dealt, I guess.
And you're still going,
still fighting the good fight left in you.
That's what we do.
Who's we?
Us, all of us, I don't ****ing know.
Not all of us.
What the **** do you care?
Huh?
****, man, after last night,
after this whole damn week,
you wanna just keep shitting on me?
You killed my wife's brother,
you made me kill that woman.
I took money from the wrong ****ing people,
I get it, Jesus Christ.
Look, I'm doing everything you say.
I'm just trying to get my ****ing life back,
whatever life I got left.
We're all going in the same direction.
Even you?
Oh, I know I am.
That's the difference between me
and people in places like this,
oblivious.
Yeah, you keep talking about how it's all meaningless.
You just do that to justify the horrible shit you do.
There's a world where all this has meaning,
it's this one.
[cicadas chirping]
[radio button clicking]
You don't have to be alone.
Here at Healy Family Funeral Home,
we will be by your side as you navigate this special time
[Clayton chuckling softly]
with quality, affordable services and headstones,
we offer a variety of packages.
Christ, you can count on that, huh?
When your business is death in a town like this,
business is booming, half off headstones.
When people are killing themselves for pennies
and then taking them for some rocks
to put over your rotting body.
Or call us, 4249.
[radio button clicking]
[Clayton clearing throat]
When my folks died,
they didn't have two of those pennies to rub together.
It took me years to save up to replace
that shitty, wooden gravestone the church donated.
And what was the point?
That we should all be so lucky,
just to have a proper place to rest,
when this is all said and done,
something that says, "Hey, we were here."
Hm.
[gentle melodic music]
I was nine years old,
I came home from school
and I found my dad dead on the kitchen floor.
Blew his head off with a shotgun,
not before putting two shells into my mom,
while she was in the bath.
[gentle melodic music]
Shit, coroner took them, I watched, no clue where to.
Some distant relative probably thought it was best
for everyone that they burned them and tossed the ashes.
I don't know.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what is this, huh?
He doesn't know?
Know what?
Well, go on.
No, no, I did everything you asked, all of it.
You did.
[Shelby breathing heavily]
You said you don't kill the innocent,
you said that.
I saw you kill that woman, Shel, I watched you do it.
[gentle orchestral music]
[gentle orchestral music continues]
****! [breathing heavily]
We're all heading the same way.
Yeah.

Hi, Mr. Bodie.
What you doing out here?
I don't really know, to be honest,
I just felt like being around something loud.
It is loud.
How's Mila?
She's with my folks.
You know, everything she's been going through,
hell, I don't know, I just feel like it's better for her
to get away from here for a bit.

♪ On the wings of an angel, let's ride ♪
♪ One man's misfortune is my gain ♪
♪ I've been dying to believe in a world full of lies ♪
