[bells jingling]
[train horn blaring]
[jingling fades]
[train horn blaring]
[train horn blaring]
- The sun is actually
coming through
Well, not as the sun,
but just as kind of like a..
Mozzie dot out in the sky.
It's not giving any heat,
that's for sure.
Make sure that your water,
for your dog in the bowl..
It's not frozen.
[train horn blaring]
like three dogs..
It was so cold, it was like
5 degrees in the morning.
Three dogs got brought
to the vets..
'cause their tongues got stuck..
[chatter on TV]
[footsteps approaching]
- I thought you had to be
back at work.
-I do.
Looks like a peach.
-We call it "Taupe."
[train horn blaring]
[woman sighs]
[door opens]
[door shuts]
[birds chirping]
[women chattering]
- Hey.
- Hi, Laura.
[train horn blaring]
Mr. Fuller is here to see you.
- 2:
10.-What?
might be some kind of holiday.
-I had a lunch meeting.
Hey, Dennis.
[phone ringing]
Mr. Fuller.
What are you doing here?
-Came to see my lawyer.
[door creaking]
[creaking]
-Uh, listen.
You can't..
You can't keep coming here.
- Well, my wife wants me
out of the house.
- Well, go to the library.
Read a book.
Make some friends.
- Oh, I... I... I can't read.
The lines are all squiggly.
Who set this door?
- What?
-It's out of plumb.
He may have been slow..
But he sure was sloppy.
- Look, uh, I know a personal
injury lawyer in Billings.
He's willing to give you
a second opinion.
So, I set something up
for Friday.
And we can meet there.
It's at noon.
-See, it's good I came by.
Otherwise, how would I know
- Billings.
- Yeah. Billings.
-Well, I was gonna call you.
- Well, now I know.
- Well, now you know.
[phone ringing]
- Friday at noon.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Good work.
So, now, we can prepare.
- No, no, no.
We don't need to prepare.
We just get there
and explain your situation.
And that's it.
Mr. Fuller, I don't
want you to get your hopes up.
He's gonna tell you the same
stuff I've been telling you.
I just, I want... I want you
to hear it from somebody else.
- You want, uh, to get a coffee?
You know, so we can strategize.
-I have court.
- Friday at noon.
- Friday. Noon.
-Okay. See you Friday.
[train horn blaring]
[phone ringing]
- The contractor was
clearly negligent.
- Yes.
You see?
- But your previous settlement
precludes a tort claim.
Employees are required
to have insurance
so workers' injuries
can be covered.
But as soon as you take that
first money, you've settled.
And you give up your right to...
- That money didn't cover
the month's mortgage.
- But when you accepted
what they offered
you cleared them
of any further penalties.
- So?
-So, I'm afraid
you have no tort claim.
You can't sue.
-Okay.
-Okay?
Thank you.
- Laura.
- Eight months of telling him,
and now it's okay.
[cell phone vibrating]
Hey.
- I was expecting
your voicemail.
-Ha, you got me.
- I thought you had a meeting.
-I do. I did.
It's a thing done.
The lawyer said you have no case
and my client said "Okay."
- Just like that?
- Just like that.
He repeated the same things
I've been saying
for the last eight months.
It'd be so lovely to think
that if I were a man
people would listen
and say "Okay."
Oh, that would be so restful.
- Hmm.
- So?
What were we gonna
tell my voicemail?
- Well..
Well, it's just my situation.
Being what it is.
I just think, maybe...
- Oh, I may not have long here.
-Thank you.
[yelling]
- I just think maybe,
I have my hands full.
- Um..
- I'm riding with you.
-Um, look, I've gotta go.
Uh-uh..
Do you want something to eat?
["Play With My Heart"
by Taye Johnson]
["Cloud" by Magic Bronson]
[Native American music]
- No one understands
what my life has become.
What a total f***ing
miserable thing
my life has become!
No one understands
one f***ing thing!
I wish my wife would
roll over on the highway.
- Oh, my God. I swear,
-The only thing left to do
is get a machine gun
and kill everyone.
-No.
No. You're gonna
have to get out.
- Alright. Uh, uh...
- Out. No.
You can't say
those things to me.
- I'll, uh, uh..
Not another word.
I'll be...
- You can't talk like that.
- Never mind.
I'll be quiet.
-Okay.
[mutters under breath]
["Boats To Build" over radio]
I got seas to sail
With these two hands
It'll be a fair curve
From a noble plan
Let the chips fall
where they will
'Cause I've got
boats to build
[Fuller sobbing]
Sails are just like wings
The wind can make them sing
Songs of life
Songs of hope
[engine rewing]
- This type of ware
as China painting.
Now, in the late 19th century
and into the early part
of the 20th century
ladies of fashion
would get together
or blanks.
a mark on the back of them.
We won't turn them around.
But they all say "Limoges."
There were also German
and Austrian makers
that made the blanks.
They would be imported
to the States.
[train horn blaring]
[phone ringing]
[police radio chatter]
- Listen, now, Will..
Yeah, I don't wanna press you,
I want you to take your time.
But could you,
could you just give me a sign
that Big Man is doing alright?
[police radio chatter]
- Hey, Will.
Good news. Your lawyer's here.
Thanks for coming down.
- Yeah.
-Uh, got Fuller on the phone.
Well, we had him on the phone.
Uh, he seemed calm.
He's holding the night watchman.
- Wait, that's the one
they call "Big Man."
-Yeah. Football player.
-How'd Fuller take him down?
-No idea.
Oh, um, oh..
Well, this is Mac.
Our resident hospital
specialist.
So, uh, he's got Big Man
up here on the 3rd floor.
Uh, here's where
they keep the dead files.
And, uh, this is a little sketch
to, to find your way in.
- Wow, really?
- Oh, yeah.
Little precaution.
- As soon as you take off
your coat, please.
Okay.
-Alright, arms out.
-I remember you.
You, uh..
The defendant instructed me
to consume feces.
Hey, is this a sane thing
to be doing?
Here, Tommy.
Uh..
- Oh. Okay.
- Yeah. Okay, I want you
to take this.
Take it in with you,
I'll call it.
You pick it up,
so we know you're okay.
You don't pick up,
we're wondering.
- You don't have to go in there.
There's other ways
to go about this.
-No, we got this handled.
Don't need any big
production, right, Wells?
-Well, I'm here.
So..
- Okay, you just, you know,
keep him engaged
in the, in the conversation.
You know, just try
to be compassionate.
You know, let him feel like
he's being heard.
It's important that he sees you
as being his advocate.
