If it were my family, I might do the same.

I don't know.

But I'm not helping out

'cause this is right.

This is ugly, man.

If you ever find that Polaroid

of us and the stripper,

do me a favor.

Yeah?

Destroy it.

Okay.

I've no regrets

No regrets, No regrets

I'm living the life

of a king

I've no regrets

I've been a lot of places

And I've seen a lot

of things

I've no regrets

Even when I'm sad

You can still hear me sing

If it should be, I'll say

That he calls me today

Well, I've no regrets

For this life I live

I've no regrets

No regrets, no regrets

Now, how lucky can I be?

And I sure hope, oh, yeah

That you have love like me

A happier person

I know you'll never see

If it should be, I'll say

That he calls me today

I've no regrets

for this life I live

No regrets

I've got friends

And I got my health

Monday. 7:
38 P.M.

Hey, when you're home,

stay there.

Had to swap out a tire

to tow her four down.

Hello, this is Officer Downey

with Community Corrections

calling to reach Wade Cleland.

You had a urine analysis scheduled this

morning, which you did not attend.

- Yeah, shut up.

- I'm fine. My leg.

I'm with him.

He's here.

Why don't you keep that thing

pointed right at my face?

I'm not going anywhere.

Look away.

Turn your head.

It's all over

as far as I'm concerned.

You hear that, sis?

Don't go starting any...

End of messages.

Hey, you've reached

the Cleland residence.

You know what to do

and when to do it,

so get to it.

End of messages.

Hey, you've reached...

Hey, you've reached

the Cleland residence.

You know what to do

and when to do it,

so get to it.

Hello.

It's me.

F***!

- There's a message!

- Play it!

Jesus.

Hello. It's me.

Um, Dwight Evans.

Wade is dead.

Motherf***er, shut the f*** up.

And... Teddy is dead, too.

He told me everything.

- I'm gonna f***ing kill him!

- Goddamn it!

I didn't kill him.

I mean,

I... I guess I did.

But it doesn't matter.

By my count, that's two of yours

and two of mine.

I don't know how this ends,

but I'd like it to...

Um...

...or it can keep going.

I just need my sister

to be left out of this.

That's why we're going

to Pittsburgh,

you dumb son of a b*tch!

What the f*** are you?

- It's him!

- I'm sorry.

We're gonna f***ing kill you.

I wish you would have.

Call if you want

to talk this through.

You... you people...

I'm sorry to bother you at home.

- I took all the guns.

- Don't shoot us.

I've been here awhile.

I've been trying

to think of reasons

not to do this,

to end your family.

I mean, there's a thousand.

But there's one why I should.

Fine.

We'll leave her out.

How can I trust that?

After everything I've done.

It's not our problem.

Yes, it is.

- Go! Blow his head off!

- Kill him, William!

- I don't want to.

- Your whole family will die.

Stop!

I don't know much about guns,

but I'm pretty sure

I've got more bullets than you.

Don't kill him.

If he dies tonight,

your father killed him.

He killed everybody here.

I think you did your job,

William,

but I still got to finish up.

Quickly, I think.

It's funny.

That hurts less than the, um...

The arrow.

You can leave that gun.

Just wipe it off.

My car's down the road a ways

in the woods.

But it's dark.

He's my father's son.

Teddy told me about Big Wade,

the cancer.

Don't you mention their names.

You know what's awful?

Just 'cause my dad loved

your mom...

...we all end up dead.

The keys are in the car.

The keys are in the car.

The keys are in the car.

The keys are in the car.

I've no regrets

No regrets, no regrets

I'm living

the life of a king

I've no regret

I've been a lot of places,

oh, yeah

And I've seen

a lot of things

Even when I'm sad

You can still hear me sing

If it should be, I say

That he calls me today

Well, I've no regrets

For this life I live

I've no regrets

No regrets, no regrets

Now, how lucky can I be?

And I sure hope, oh, yeah

That you have love like me

A happier person

I know you'll never see

If it should be, I say

That he calls me today

I've no regrets

For this life I've lived

No regrets

I've got friends

And I got my health

And I got love

And that's my wealth

What more

Could anyone ask for?

I'm so happy

I could shout

I've no regrets

No regrets, no regrets,

no regrets

I've been living

the life of a king

I've been a lot of places,

oh, yeah, yeah

And I've seen

a lot of things

Even when I'm sad

You can still hear me sing

If it should be, I say

That he calls me today

Well, I've no regrets

For this life I've lived

No regrets, no regrets

Oh, no regrets, no regrets

Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh

No regrets, no regrets

Mm-hmm

Oh, no regrets

No regrets

Oh

Oh, no regrets

Yeah

No regrets,

no, oh, no regrets

No regrets

You can leave

Your dead-end mouth

I can see you

Got nothing to say

So leave me be here

Gonna destruct in my

Own way
