Blue Ruin

---

It's Officer Eddy.

I'd like you

to come into the station.

Oh, is it about the house,

'cause I could...

Dwight, sweetheart,

I'll explain.

Okay?

Just come with me.

I apologize for the mystery.

I don't mean to scare you.

You're not in any trouble.

Everything's fine.

You'll be fine.

But, honey, someone brought

this by our stoop,

and I just thought

you should be somewhere safe

when you found out...

With somebody.

He's going to be released...

...and I don't know

how much you...

They are missed.

It's an awful thing

he did to them.

I'm just gonna hold you here

for a little while...

Do you sell stamps?

I just want this

party over with.

Wade doesn't know.

Yeah, if you stop

talking out of your ass.

You putting him on your books?

Gonna shine on everyone

Come a little bit closer

You got to hear

those three little words

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Come a little bit closer now

No, she talks too much.

Yeah, I'm not used to it.

She talks sh*t

or she talks too much?

- What? Me too, man?

- Yeah.

Maybe.

Just let me piss.

I haven't done it alone

in ten years.

Hey, man.

You all right?

Yeah.

I got some sh*t lined up.

You might wanna wash your hands.

No, man.

I don't piss on my hands.

Hey, you want order

another beer?

Yeah.

I'll order some sh*t.

I hear that.

You motherf***er!

Come on, man.

What are you doing

in there? Beating off?

Yeah, we should've had

a hooker waiting.

Let's go.

The party's for you.

Ow!

Let's go, brother.

Oh, f***.

Oh, f***!

This be the moment

I was waiting for

What's happening boy?

- Can't wait no more

- Moose

Bulletproof

Moose

Bulletproof Moose

I care less about

the fortune and fame

Lay down my flow

when I'm doing...

Did you hurt Wade?

Yeah.

Wade hurt my parents.

I don't think he did.

Let's look

at the windy conditions.

Of course, with the

thunderstorms themselves,

the winds could be quite strong

and areas of fog are possible.

If you've been to the gas pump

in the last couple weeks,

you've probably felt

the stinging

of some of the fastest climbing

gas prices in years.

So where...

Small dogs and cats

should be kept in an enclosure

if left unattended, as coyotes,

oh, are able to jump...

Two, three, four, five.

One more time.

One, two, three,

four, five.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Got a late start.

Would you mind moving

the sprinklers into the bushes

- in, like, 20 minutes?

- Sure, yeah.

And then just turn it off in 15.

The girls did Shrinky Dinks last night.

Could you put them in the oven?

Ten minutes, 350, something like

that. It's on the box.

Thank you.

Bye, girls.

- Thank you.

- Bye.

Dwight?

Hey, Sam.

You have a good day.

Thank you so much.

Hi.

I wish I had more time.

Got an asset inventory

that can't push.

Do you need money?

No.

Did you get my letter?

I sent it after

I crossed the bridge.

- It was a postcard.

- No. When?

A couple days ago.

Well, postcards take more time.

Dwight, I'm not following.

I sent it on my way

to Deerfield.

I know he's out,

if that's why you're here.

The DOC sends a notification

and a restraining order.

Let's not...

I'm sorry I left.

I'm sorry, too.

With this busted sandwich.

I have had worse.

You need to put the registration

for the Bonneville in your name

if you still have it.

I have an extra set of keys

if you want them.

It's gone.

As far as the estate goes,

you're still owed $2,800.

There's still a box

of your things...

You can keep it all.

I don't want it, Dwight.

No. That's fine.

I'm not used to talking

this much.

That's what people do.

I know.

How's Delaware?

You knew?

Not exactly where.

We still try to go

every few years

to keep the tradition.

Mostly for the kids.

You know I have two kids now?

I know.

I mean, I...

I saw you

a couple of summers ago.

You were on the boardwalk.

You didn't say anything?

I...

I looked a mess.

So why now?

Wade Cleland gets released.

Well...

I thought there'd be something

on the news, but...

There's nothing.

I killed him.

Wade Cleland, I killed him.

What?

Bullshit.

When?

I think yesterday.

Oh, God, Dwight.

I thought he'd kill me first.

I'm glad he didn't.

And I'm glad he's dead

and I hope he suffered.

Excuse me.

You got ketchup on yours?

I don't.

Sorry.

Thanks.

Clelands still live up

on East Hundred.

The older one,

he owns limousines.

- Yeah.

- How great is that?

Operates out of Charlottesville.

Every time I see one pass

through town

or on the way to the airport...

F***ing June, f***ing prom...

- You don't own the...

- Where are your children?

Home with the sitter.

Let's get back in your car.

- What?

- They never called the police.

Okay, it's ringing.

She's not picking up.

She's not picking up.

She's not picking up.

No, no, no.

Oh, no.

No, no, no.

Wait.

- Oh, God.

- What's wrong?

I'll turn myself in

here, if that's what you want,

but I can't do it until I know

that you're safe,

that the kids are safe, so...

The Clelands

need to be arrested.

All of them?

For what?

Look, I...

Just go.

You can call the police

from Pittsburgh

if that's what you want.

Just so long as you're not here.

It's my house, Dwight.

They know that.

The car is registered here,

and it's not worth...

Is there a gun in the house?

Course not.

Duck. My duck.

Your duck.

Don't call me baby

Okay.

I only told work, nobody else.

I'd forgive you

if you were crazy,

but you're not.

You're weak.

I got him.

Hey. Were you coming for me

or for her?

Were you coming

for me or for her?

Ah.

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Frame's too small

Too pretty for this picture

Gonna take it's toll

When's it gonna

catch up to you

Leave the bar

And burn the bridge that

brought you to the alcohol

Days seem hazy

I, uh...

I just...

- Yep.

- Got no voice

You know it's calling on you

Got no choice

F***.

I had an accident on my leg.

Hey, is somebody out there?

Hey!

I'm in the trunk!

Let me out!

Is that you?

Help!

Let me out!

I'm dying!

Let me out!

Let me out, you son of a b*tch.

Help!

Let me out of here!

Not until I have a gun.

Sh*t, I can get you a gun.

Hey!

Hey!

I got to get out of here!

I'm thirsty!

My leg's broken!

- Mrs. Gaffney, hi.

- Yes?

I was looking for Ben.

Is he still in town?

No, he moved a while ago.

It's Dwight, from Orange High.

I just...

Oh.

I'm so sorry, I...

Mr. Gaffney's upstairs

asleep and...

I didn't recognize you, Dwight.

Okay, this is where he works.

This is where he lives.

He moved when he got back

from Japan.

He was deployed.

You might need a map,

'cause it's out of the way

off of...

I have a map, thank you.

So are you in a rush?

Sort of.

Yes, ma'am.

Otherwise I'd offer you

some tea.

I'd love some tea.

Good.

Ben works late, anyway.

They play

God-awful music there.

Excuse me.

I was looking for

a band member...

What?

I was looking for a band

member named Ben.

Ben Gaffney.

And I think he was supposed...

- You mean Benny?

- Yes.

Yeah, he's here.

He works the bar.
