What do you mean, you sold that tool?

What tool?

The computer fixing thingy tool.

I pawned it when

I sold gram's pills.

We got 600 bucks for it.

It's a stolen property

of the us army.

We got to get out of here.

What are you gonna do?

We are gonna cross

the border, that's what.

Come on, girls. Girls?

- Hello, sir, hey.

- Happy holidays

passports, please.

Uh, I got my military ID.

I need passports.

Well, we didn't think

that you needed those.

Since 2001, ma'am.

Whose children are those?

They're mine.

You have a driver's license?

There's a line

behind you, ma'am.

Sh*t!

Don't be nervous.

Nobody's wanted

for anything. That's good.

All right.

Your military ID is okay, but I can't let

you or the kids through without passports.

Okay, well, how do we get those?

Not my job, ma'am.

Pull up here, turn around,

head back towards the states.

- What now?

- -I don't know.

Be careful.

- Okay.

- -Thank you.

Everyone had nap time

except Joey.

I'm good.

Quit your pouting and lay down.

How did you know

I had that tool?

What?

I didn't tell anyone

about it except Pete.

You told Roy.

That day that you

met him downtown.

I did?

Uh-huh.

Okay, okay, I got to go.

Who are you talking to?

My uncle Gary.

He's making all

the funeral arrangements.

Let's go for omelets

in the morning.

Anything you want.

- Hello.

- Mom?

Oh, thank the lord, Joanna.

Where are you?

I'm coming to pick you up.

No, no, no, I'm okay, I'm...

I'm with Rayna right now and she

really needs me 'cause her gram died.

Bring her here with them kids

if you have to, honey.

And what is that platoon

sergeant talking about, Joanna?

Stolen goods?

I wrote it down

he called it a... 15-6.

I told him it's all a mistake.

Told him I was home

all day Christmas

so that I could

take you to the bus myself.

And you must have

mixed up your days.

Mom, I love you.

I'm really,

really sorry. Okay?

I'll call you soon.

Spend some time with your ma this

afternoon before you ship off.

I love you, mom.

God bless that Rayna

but she is not...

- Sadie?

- -Daddy, look at it.

She did.

Daddy, do they have chocolate milk?

Excuse me, ma'am.

Middle of a call.

Excuse me, Princess.

Do you have any chocolate

cows in this establishment?

Daddy!

Lot of flexibility

here really like that.

Oh, wow.

When I move my foot around...

Roy, you remember Joanna.

Awfully nice of you to drive my family

all the way up here to see me like this.

Bastards sent me driving all the

way from Florida to New York state

on Christmas day.

And when Rayna

called me last night

to tell me about

gram's funeral, well...

Sometimes you just

got to risk the job

to take care of your family.

I told Roy that, uh,

you should, uh...

Take my truck,

and, uh... have a little

peace and quiet

on your ride home.

And we're gonna

jump in with him.

Rayna.

Joey's about

to leave, girls, uh...

So, you wanna give her a hug?

No.

Sweetie, please

go give Joey a hug.

No.

Rayna.

Get going.

Drive safe.

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

Passport, please.

Ah, now.

I keep going, you do your thing.

- No.

- I'm not singing alone.

Come on.

Now there up top one more time.

Come on.

Wow.
