I'd probably refer to the answer

as "need to know information."

Maybe some people

don't need to know.

Here's what you

need to know, Broker.

You have got my attention, son.

Get that hand looked at.

You're gonna leave me

behind today, as usual?

I think so.

Making new friends at school?

Yeah, I made a lot of friends.

I've learned some cool

stuff in science class.

I don't believe that

Did you know that the trees

along the river, bald cypress,

they can grow, like, 100 feet.

That is cool.

But not as cool as snakes.

Snakes?

Yeah.

We've got moccasins'

copperheads, diamondbacks.

No king cobras, right?

Dad' no, king cobras are like,

from the far east somewhere.

That's a relief.

Dad?

Yeah?

Why did we move out here?

Why?

Because there's no king cobras.

Come on, look around.

A beautiful house, horse

trails, river in our backyard.

Seriously, what else

could we ask for?

Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi?

Yeah, Wi-Fi.

Anyone home?

Your door is open.

Neighbor calling.

That was a tie.

OK.

Maybe.

I think you got it.

Do you know "grace"?

She a new friend at school?

The new vocab word from class.

"Grace."

Yeah, that's a good one.

I think Mom had that

Yeah, you got a good memory, Maddy.

She did.

The way she dressed, smiled.

Everything about her.

I miss Mom.

Me, too.

I just... I miss her so

much that my stomach hurts.

And I get this feeling that

she worries about you.

And that she wants you to be happy.

Come here.

Hey.

If you're here, I'm happy.

Come on, what else could I be?

Come on, catch up.

I find myself always

trying to do that.

Luther!

Luther!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Easy, boy, easy. Easy.

Dad?

Dad!

Have you seen Luther?

Luther? No, sweetie.

I don't hear his bell.

I'll go look.

Hey. Get back inside.

You should be

getting ready for bed.

Don't worry, I'll find him.

Off you go.

Okay.

Dad, you know I can't

sleep without Luther.

I know, but I need

you to try, okay?

I'll find him.

And you'll find Bunny, too?

Yes.

I'll find them both.

Hey.

It'll be okay.

Okay.

Luther.

Come here, kitty. Luther.

"Phil Broker."

Motherf***er!

Nice hair.

"For a few years now,

biker gang known as

"the Outcast motorcycle gang

led by Danny Turrie."

No! You're done! You're dead!

Holy sh*t!

Broker, Broker, Broker.

Very nice to meet you,

Agent Broker.

Luther?

Luther?

Come on.

Coming through!

Yeah?

Hey, I think I got

something big for us.

Big? Like what?

Just get over here

as soon as possible.

My shift doesn't end

for another three hours.

Then I've got to drive from Shreveport?

Gator, sh*t.

All right, all right. Just make it

first thing in the morning, okay?

Everything is changing.

Yeah!

Remember Jojo?

Jojo Turrie?

Danny T's boy?

Of course, I do.

The kid was bat sh*t.

He was.

Until he got shot by

the police 47 times.

Losing your only kid like that.

I hear Danny T is still

pretty f***ed up about it.

Well, yeah.

Well, they never did catch whoever

snitched on Jojo and Danny T.

And?

'Cause it wasn't just a snitch.

It was a goddamn undercover cop.

Just read.

That guy Broker,

he's the snitch they didn't want

showing up in the courtroom.

What?

M.C. Dalton,

that's his snitch name.

A state narc is

living in Rayville. Sh*t!

Relax, relax.

Do you have...

I think he's just living low

here with his daughter.

Trust me, this is our shot.

What the hell are

you doing here, Broker?

Turn that off.

Hey!

Let's skip the bullshit.

Get right to it.

Some small-time amateur crap,

going back and forth.

Know anything about it?

I don't know what the hell

you're talking about.

Is this f***ing

amusing to you, Klum?

You think it's f***ing funny?

You got your apology.

Me and my little girl

are gonna be left in peace.

Don't escalate this any more.

And Klum,

I want my kid's cat back.

Cat?

I don't know nothing about no cat.

Today.

No hair out of place,

you understand me?

Good.

A lot of things have changed

since you were last here.

Check it out, I got glassware,

mantles, generator, exhaust system.

Got it all going on.

Why the f*** do we need Danny T?

We're gonna give him

that rat f*** narc

in exchange for

state-wide distribution.

Yeah, but, Gator,

these guys are f***ing bikers.

You can't trust them.

You're gonna give them this guy,

they're gonna turn around

and they're gonna kill him.

And then you got nothing.

Look, this means no more small time

jobs, no more sweating middlemen.

All we do is cook and get paid.

It's never that easy.

All you have to do

is learn a few lines,

go and talk to Danny T's lawyer.

Like hell I am.

You use them.

Coming back all humble.

You're not asking for money.

You're giving Danny this

guy as a gift, as a favor.

Gator, that guy is a f***ing pig.

Shh! Just trust me.

You're gonna get the

negotiation of your life.

Ready for the big day tomorrow?

It's just a birthday.

Hey, come on, it's the 10th birthday.

It's a special one.

I guess.

Hey, look what I

found jumping around.

Jumping around?

Yeah, jumping around.

Thanks.

It's nice.

I know it's not as

good as the original,

but I thought she might fill

in until we find Bunny.

Yep.

You know, I was thinking,

you should have a birthday

party with your class.

Can Miss Hetch come?

She's the one who planned it.

My idea, of course.

Thanks, Dad.

Yep.

Sheryl.

Sheryl Mott.

Surprise, surprise,

surprise.

You're not a hard man to find,

Werksey, old habits and all.

How are you doing, Sheryl?

What's up, kid?

I want you to look at something.

Like what?

You got a new gang tattoo

that you want to show me?

It's a little bit

more important than that.

It's a gift for Danny T.

You got 10 minutes.

"A gift," she says.

This guy killed my f***ing kid.

Please tell me you know

where this motherf***er is.

Guess what? Time to go.

She does.

Hey, you can finish it tonight.

Okay.

Take care of this for me.

Miss Klum?

What are you going to do now, Broker?

What do you want to say?

Wanna come to my

party this weekend?

What, Teddy? She's talking to

you, hon, not me. Come on.

I guess. Yeah.

Cool. Come on, let's go.

All right. Go on.

Teddy got some blood on his shirt.

Are you replacing it?

Yeah, I'm replacing it.

All right.

I guess that does it.

See you around, Miss Klum.

So, I heard something interesting.

Yeah? Something tells me you're

gonna tell me what that is.

Just that Jimmy Klum got his ass whopped.

So did his kid.

Fascinating.

Where did you hear that?

Well, you shoot enough pool,

drink enough beer in town,

you hear a little bit

of everything, Broker.

By the way, that's old news.

We shook and made up.

Is that what you think?

Yeah.

I got some new news for you.

People around here

don't shake and make up.

It never goes away that easy.

It's old-school in the

feuding sense around here.

Hey, someone broke into our house.

Is that old-school?

There it is, that's

called country payback.

Somebody's just trying to scare

your ass out of here, is all.
