left the diner with you?

You told me you never saw

her that night at all.

I didn't kill her, Ig.

I would never hurt her. I...

What are you

talking about, Terry?

I was just too scared.

F***!

Tell me, Terry!

Okay!

So, what just happened

with you and Ig?

I don't want to talk about it.

Are you sure?

I mean, you're shaking.

Look at you.

You're a mess.

Hey, hey, hey.

Why don't you take one of these.

Just take one.

They're fun. Take the edge off.

I don't want to.

I need to release what

I'm feeling tonight.

God, you're beautiful.

You know that?

Can you pull over?

I need to get out of the car.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I didn't...

Look, it's the end of the

world out there. Why don't...

I wanna go for a walk.

Merrin, Are you trying to

get yourself killed? Hang on.

Thanks for the ride, Terry.

Come back!

I'm fine now, I promise, okay?

Merrin!

Don't be ridiculous.

Where are you going?

I'll wait for you!

What the f***?

What the f***?

Merrin.

Merrin!

Merrin!

Merrin!

You f***!

How could you?

What did you do to her?

Do you even f***ing remember

what you did to her?

I didn't kill her.

I loved Merrin too.

Well, if you didn't

kill her, then who did?

Oh, f***!

We got a call on

the radio about some kind

of altercation

going on out here.

We got a pretty good

idea who's responsible.

Listen to me, Eric,

this is all my fault.

Hey, maestro,

break time is over. Let's go.

Go on back inside, Terry, none

of this thing concerns you.

Yeah, go back inside.

Play a f***ing song!

You'd better calm down,

Ig. You don't want to be

resisting arrest. We'd be

inclined to use force.

What are you arresting

me for? 'Cause I got into

a fight with my coward

brother? Is that a crime?

The thing is, this club is

across the county line.

Which means we caught you

fleeing jurisdiction.

For God's sake, talk about

the most obvious kind

of trumped up charge. F***!

Go back inside.

F*** you, Eric.

F*** me? You f***!

I wish we could bring

you in for worse.

I wish I could plant

something on you.

Like maybe a piece of her dress.

That way I could put

you away for good.

For God's sake, Eric,

you've known me my whole life.

You know I'd never hurt her.

Bullshit, Ig! You confessed

to me. Everyone in town

saw you fighting with her

the night she was killed!

That's not what happened.

I said whatever happened to

her was my fault because I ran

off on her. I left her alone.

Whatever that waitress

told you is lies.

Hey, listen, you a**hole.

I'm gonna make sure

you get punished for

everything you did to her

even if I have to beat you

to death with my own hands.

Do it, Eric.

Beat him to death.

That'll give me something

to whack off to tonight.

Only I'll be picturing

both of you naked.

Yeah, I like that.

I like to think about

you naked too, Sturtz.

What the f***?

You know, Lee might

have sprung you for now, but

we're not gonna let

you out of our sight.

Hey, Meatbag,

leave my client alone.

You're trying to make my life

as hard on me as possible?

Hey, Lee, I know who

the new witness is. It's the

waitress from the diner.

She's lying about everything.

Whoa, whoa, what is this now?

Do I gotta keep a leash on you?

Yeah, and Terry drove away

from the diner with Merrin

that night. They drove

off together in his car.

You're saying that Terry was the

last person to see her alive?

Yeah. I don't think he ever

would have done anything

to her but he can't

remember anything from the...

Why is he confessing this to you

all of a sudden?

Because of the horns, Lee!

Oh, my god, Ig. I can't talk

to you when you're like this.

There's no horns.

You're going crazy. Go home.

Why are you wearing

Merrin's cross?

It's not Merrin's. It's mine.

I've had it forever.

You think I'm an idiot?

You think I don't know what

Merrin's cross looks like?

Yeah, it's hers.

She gave it to me.

Why would she do that?

- Ig, it was...

- What?

There's things about

Merrin you don't know.

There's things about Merrin and

me that I haven't told you.

What are you talking about?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean

for anything to happen.

You were the one she...

Ig, come on.

You're the reason

she was gonna f***ing...

We didn't want to hurt you.

If you didn't want to hurt me

you're doing a f***ing lousy job!

Ig, come on.

Ig. Ig, I'm sorry.

Oh, f***.

F***!

F***! F***!

You like that

new girl in church?

I don't know her yet.

Ig, you like her enough

to get me to fix her cross.

I like her too.

She seems, you know, pure.

Get the

hell off my property.

I know that I'm the last person

you want to see right now...

but you're the only person

I can ask about this.

I have got nothing

to say to you.

I should shoot you

right in the heart.

No.

If you really wanted to kill

me, you'd have already done it.

I know that.

These days, I bring out

the worst in people.

What I want is for you

to tell me the truth

about what you did

to my daughter.

And then I want to kill you.

What I need to know is

did Merrin say anything to you

about leaving me or about

being with somebody else?

You got some kind

of nerve. Coming out here

and asking me if my daughter

was unfaithful to you.

But could you...

Are you out of

your goddamn mind?

Look, you're the only

person she would have told

because you're the only one

who loved her like I did.

Don't you f***ing dare

say we're the same.

When I was watching the cancer

devour my wife's insides...

the only saving grace was I

thought that was the worst

thing that would ever happen

to me. But boy was I wrong.

Dale, please, you have

to believe me. I loved her.

But now I don't know if I

even really knew who she was.

You think there is

a chance in hell

I am gonna say one word

to you about my daughter?

If you're looking for

forgiveness or compassion

or understanding, go

talk to a goddamn priest!

I know you killed her.

And I hope you die.

I hope you die...

scared and helpless in the

dirt just like my Merrin did.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have come.

Get off my porch or I

swear I will shoot you.

Aaahhh!

F***.

Sometimes God works

in mysterious ways.

The horns had revealed

so much already.

Now I can use them to find her

killer and set things right.

See, vanity doesn't pay.

And it's gonna be a long

time before you can even

try and look pretty again.

You know, you guys really want

to stop following me around.

Telling us what to do now?

Well...

I mean, wouldn't you rather just

suck each other off right here?

What the hell

makes you say that?

Well, you know, ever since

we were kids I kind of

assumed you maybe had to act

so tough 'cause you were

ashamed of yourself?

Was I right?

When I was a kid, I used

to shoplift gay porno mags

from the drug store.

And my dad found them under

my bed and he cracked

me with his belt.

You see, you both been brought

up to believe it's a sin, but...

it's just being human.

That's why I always wanted
