Where's the person at now?

She's laying

in the parking lot, sir.

What's going on there?

I think this guy's lawn mower

fell on him or something, man.

Like, they sliced him up maybe.

I don't know.

Oh, my god!

A man has been killed

in front of me! Oh, god!

Ma'am, calm down.

How did he die, ma'am?

I don't know! I don't know!

It appears that the men

are now behind bars.

You stop that now.

That's enough!

You know that's the way it go.

You want to eat,

I'm gonna have to work.

I'm gonna come for you

as soon as I can.

You want to be

a spoiled child, then?

Please, papa, can I have one?

One what? I didn't get anything.

Yes, you did!

- We saw you!

- Oh, did you?

- Yes!

- Hmm, let's see.

Thank you.

And one for my princess.

Thanks.

Come on.

Tomorrow when I wake up,

I'm just gonna look like

a little circle candy.

We'll catch a cat

and put it in a hat.

- I'm hungry.

- You're hungry?

- Yeah.

- All right.

- Are you hungry, too?

- No.

Uh, I'm hungry, too.

How far is it? I'm tired of walking.

Is that boy following us?

You all right?

Hey.

You okay?

Come on.

Is that boy gonna stay

with us, papa?

Maybe, baby.

Maybe. Hey, lay down.

When is mama coming?

Mama's not coming.

Why not?

Hey.

You guys are on a special vacation

with papa, remember?

And if you saw mama,

then you wouldn't see papa anymore.

Why?

Don't worry about it.

Okay?

Is that what you want?

You want papa to get in trouble?

- No.

- Hmm?

- No.

- Leave my papa alone!

Leave my papa alone.

That's right, baby.

Okay, lights out.

Night.

Oh, boy, sorry about that.

So, has your mother

done this before?

She always leave.

And you don't have anybody else?

What are we gonna do with you, huh?

Mama, I did write you one letter,

but I didn't know where to send it,

so me burned it up.

If you come home,

you're not gonna find me here.

I am somewhere else now.

The man up the road --

do you know him?

I met him in autumn.

He let me stay and work for him.

Me get a job now.

The other tourist, him gone.

But him still there.

He is American. He teaches

me to talk like an American.

He says I can be an American, too.

Him name John.

What state do you live in?

Washington.

There are two.

Well, one's the capitol and,

the other one's just a place.

Which one's yours?

Just the place.

She not coming back, is she?

I don't know.

When I was your age,

I used to play a game called

"Life is not fair."

You know why they called it that?

'Cause life is not fair. It sucks.

But you got to play.

I don't know. Maybe

she wants to come back.

But she can't.

Maybe she's dead.

What'd you say?

Hope she is.

Hey, stranger. Welcome back.

- And who's this now?

- That's my son.

- That's not your son.

- That's my other son.

Are you okay?

Sure, sure, just busy, busy, busy.

Did I leave a shirt here?

A blue one?

Maybe.

Check.

Well, let me go wash up quick.

You guys can say hello.

So, uh, visiting your dad?

Hey. Is it okay if we stay tonight?

Why didn't you tell me about him?

I'm not gonna catch

him going through my

underwear drawers

or something, am I?

Hey.

Can I get you to go out

for a little bit?

Don't get lost.

Okay.

May I take your order?

Do you have cheap burgers?

Change your whole life

if you're ready, sir.

The United States army is hiring.

Yes, you sir.

Hell yeah!

Make way!

You got a minut

for your future, son?

How old are you?

Listen,

you're a little bit too young,

but you come back in a year,

you understand?

You come back.

We'll be ready for you.

Have yourself a good day.

It'll change your whole life

if you're ready, sir.

Hop on.

This used to be my neighborhood,

you know? I used to live here.

People used to live here.

Real people, I thought.

Everybody turned into ghosts.

It was like I didn't exist anymore.

Well, not everybody.

Some of them turned out

to be vampires. Suck me dry.

People I would've never expected.

My wife. Just one day I woke up,

and I don't know

how I didn't see it before.

It's evil. Real evil.

There are some evil

people in this world.

Like here.

The lady who lives here,

that's a real piece of sh*t.

Testified against me in court.

That's what they do.

They take your kids away

and say that I kidnapped them.

How can I kidnap my own kids?

They're my kids.

And then she just gets to live

here like nothing ever happened.

That f***ing vampire.

I hope she dies.

Vampires can't die.

They're already dead.

That's right.

'Cause they aren't people.

What kind of person would mess

with a family like that anyway?

Just like the army.

They promise all these things,

then take them away.

It doesn't matter if you have

skills, something to offer.

They just chew you up, expect you

to keep your head down and march

right into the slaughterhouse.

Once you see what is happening

you've got to fight it.

It's insane not to fight it.

Hit back.

You give them the slaughterhouse.

Well, what do we have here?

Hey, man, we don't want any trouble.

Well, that's tough.

'Cause you are the f***ing trouble.

No trouble.

Just a good-looking black man

running on a hot day.

Like I said.

When did you get back?

That's confidential.

Hi. I'm Ray.

Nice kid -- a little too talkative.

So, I was about to go blow

off some steam.

Care to join?

Absolutely.

Hop in. You, in the back.

See

I can't take her to court

'cause I don't know where she is,
