- Yes.

How tired?

I'm not that tired.

Hello?

Hey, what are you doing here?

Gave the hero the night off, huh?

ReaI nice of 'em, huh?

- Yeah. You want a cold one?

- Sure. Don't mind if I do.

You know, nobody ever

stood up to them before.

They are gonna take it personaI.

You think so?

Yeah, they're gonna try

and pop you on the job

when you're alone

one night...

And then you're

gonna get pissed off,

then the sheriff

is gonna get pissed off,

and all that means

is a hassle for me.

So I'm gonna ask you

to do me a favor...

...since you're not

gonna leave this town.

Ease up on 'em

a little bit...

...untiI I can.

Thanks for the warning.

Thanks for the beer.

Hi.

- Hey. Now how do you feeI?

- Mm, fine.

Jen asleep?

No, she's doing her homework.

Did I hear the telephone?

That was J.B.

He just dropped by.

What did he want?

Buck?

This gun is dirty.

Honey?

You know, sometimes when I

was prison, I'd get a feeling...

...reaI quiet and deep.

You know, just before

something bad would happen.

Same thing in Vietnam.

And you have it?

Yeah.

Now?

Yeah.

Listen, Jen and I don't need this.

We don't need it.

You're the one who wants

to stay here, not me.

Yeah.

Buck, please.

Please, please.

Okay. Get Jen

and let's pack some things.

You mean it?

Yeah.

Yes, I mean it.

Yeah, I mean it.

I mean it.

Just go now, okay, honey?

Go now. Pack some things.

Dr. Holden...

Dr. Adams...

You don't mind

if I pray with you, Buck?

No.

We are praying

for the souI of your wife?

No, father.

What for, then?

I'm praying for vengeance.

Hello, operator?

I'd like to make a collect call

to area code 3-0-5...

My name is Buck Matthews.

Hello, Jamie?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's me.

I'm really hurtin'

and I need a little help.

I'm not too heavy for you, am I?

No, not at all.

Though I can't tell you

how gratefuI I am for what you did.

That's okay.

Okay. Okay, Hank, this is picture.

Let's do it now.

Easy now.

That's nice.

- Thanks again.

- You're welcome.

You in?

Yeah.

You take care of yourself.

And so Buck Matthews,

A man who has lost so much.

goes home...

Roscoe!

...and makes us wonder about

the quality of our local law enforcement.

Let's go back

to the beginning.

Let's go back

to the night of August...

Sh*t.

LocaI law enforcement.

I'll show her

law enforcement.

Since almighty God

has called our sister Christie

from this life to Himself,

we commit her body to the earth

from which it was made.

Christ was the first

to rise from the dead,

and we know that He will raise up

our mortaI bodies

to be like his in glory.

We commend our sister to the Lord.

May the Lord receive her

into His peace

and raise up her body un...

Let us pray for our sister

to our Lord Jesus Christ,

who said,

"I am the resurrection

and the life.

"The man who believes in me

will live even if he dies,

"and every living person

who puts his faith in me

will never suffer eternaI death. "

Lord, You wept at the death

of Lazarus, Your friend.

Comfort us in our sorrow.

We ask this in faith.

They're all over the place like ants

in the manufacturing business.

That cheap stuff... crack...

shipping it all over America.

Lots of money. Big Bucks.

They got a place somewhere

out there in the desert.

They do just about anything

they wanna do.

There was a time we could've

stopped them, but, uh...

but the sheriff didn't want to.

What about you?

What about me?

Hey, where do you go

to surrender?

I'm almost out of here, man.

That's all I wanted.

- Boy, I remember a time when you'd...

- That time is past, Buck.

I just don't care anymore.

Look, I did my time.

It took me 20 years

to make, uh, sergeant,

and I had to come

to this hick town to do it.

It would've taken any

sh*t-head peckerwood two years.

Look, I don't

owe anybody nothing...

But I know why

that badass sheriff hates you.

He's afraid of you.

You come back from overseas...

with medals.

Everybody admires you.

You're a man that was ready

to challenge him

and get those people

in the town to stand up to him,

and he knew that, so, uh...

He did something about it.

He stopped you.

You... and me.

Now all I want is out.

I tell you one thing, though.

You go out there after them...

you're going alone.

So I go alone.

You can't stay here.

I'm not leaving.

Look, I got a...

an extra room in my place.

You're welcome to it.

Come right over there right now.

No, I'm gonna stay.

Jesus.

Look, I'll be around somewhere

if you need me, all right?

You broke the rules.

I make the rules.

Then we're all

gonna go down the shitter

unless you keep these animals

out of this town. That's the deaI.

We're in trouble as it is with that

idiot brother of yours raping that girI.

I take care of Ray.

All right, all right.

Take it easy, take...

You guys are nutty, that's all.

Showing up at the funeraI...

You take care of your business,

and I take care of mine.

- Fine.

- You bet.

Fine.

Hello!

Hello!

Hello!

Yeah?

Oh, take it easy.

Take it easy.

How you was been?

Tengo un surprise for you.

Yeah, surprise.

Jamie.

Okay, let's go.

Bring it on down.

Okay, hold it.

Hold it.

Hey, Jorge,

show him the console, man.

You gonna love it, man.

Huh? You like?

Yeah, it's reaI nice.

What's in that box?

What do you think, huh?

It's another supply.

You know, you have

a very good friend.

Go on.

Hi, baby.

It's daddy.

Her vitaI signs are good.

I think she's gonna pull out of it.

Good.

Straight.

Father Healey brought that.

Oh. Well, thank him for me.

I will.

Daddy got something

for you, sweetheart.

Here, I can open it.

I'll open it for you.

Look at that.

Look at that.

It's just like the other one.

It's gonna be all right,

Jennifer.

I promise, for you,

it's gonna be all right.

Seen some maggots on Pass Road.

They might be headed

out toward the Matthew place.

Where you going, Ed?

Sheriff wants ribs.

Hold down the fort.

Damn it!

Oh, Ray.

Jesus, Ray.

It couldn't have been

nobody but you.

You're still not gonna

say nothing, huh?

Prove it.

Prove it?!

You still have to prove it.

Do I?!

You doing that time inside there

didn't do anything for you, did it?

You were an a**hole then,

and you're a bigger a**hole now.

But you are f***ing up.

And the next time you go away,

you're going away for a long time.

Now get him the f*** outta here!

Get him now!

Come on.

Goddamn you.

J.B., don't you push me!

- Get off him.

- Hey!

What are you looking at,

black man?

I'm looking at a white man.

That's right, a reaI white man.

Take a good look.

Now, get him outta here, boy.

Come on, you get outta here, too.

Go on, get!

Oh, sh*t.

I'm sorry, Christie.

Oh, I'm sorry, honey.

Oh, goddamn.

- Howdy, Buck.

- Hello, Roscoe.

I'm sure sorry about Christie.
