suck face with us.

Both of you?

Just the winner.

That fair, Gator?

Yeah.

Alright, and

what if I win?

Uh, your call.

If I win, you both

have to feel me up.

Under or over the bra.

Doesn't matter to me.

Okay.

Go.

And that is how

a local does it.

Well, um, who's first?

Up to y'all.

-Aw, sh*t!

-Heh, aw, you sucker.

I'm going under.

Alright, nope.

Both of y'all didn't

try to beat me.

So the bet is

null and void.

Oh, what the f***?

You hear me? We could've been

touching on her titties!

Yeah, I hear you

buddy, I hear you.

Josie.

Uh, you wanna smoke?

Uh, yeah sure.

Here you go.

So what about you?

What's your deal?

Oh, me? Sh*t.

Nothing really.

Yeah, I ain't

come from much.

And probably ain't gonna

be much neither.

I don't mind though.

I keep it simple.

See, I like to hunt

and drink beer.

I like women, whiskey.

I like, uh, drinking beer

and whiskey while I hunt.

And I also like to

get drunk and fish.

So you like hunting?

Hell yeah.

Sh*t, I killed a snake

with my bare hands one time.

Bullshit.

Just picked it up and

snapped the f***er's neck.

What, you don't

like killing things?

Uh uh.

Not even fish?

Not even fish.

But to each his

own, and all that.

Y'know, Hank likes to fish

out on that lake a lot.

I don't really give a

f*** what that guy does.

He might take me for

a ride some time.

Lemme get a cig.

So, what y'all

talking about?

Ah, she was just telling

that her friend Hank has a

She was fixin' to go for a

ride with him out on the lake.

Well, Jesus Josie, I

wouldn't go by myself

anywhere with that creep.

Especially on a lake.

You can't go nowhere.

Well, I've heard some

stories about what he did

-before he got here.

-Like what?

Mutilating dead bodies and

doing freak sh*t with 'em.

That's why he keeps to himself,

so he don't do it again.

What, you think they'd

hire someone at the school

if he did sh*t like that?

Well, obviously he

didn't get caught.

Y'all get wrapped up in

gossip like a couple of

We've been here a lot

longer than you, okay?

There's just something

ain't right with him.

[car engine rumbling]

(voice on TV)

There she is!

With that pack of

destroyers behind her.

We've got enough bombs

here to give those guys

some trouble.

Yeah, it'd be

fun, wouldn't it?

No, this is a job for

headquarters to figure out.

What are you

trying to do? Be a hero?

Quit waiting for a turn!

Well how do you like that?

Two weeks ago you'd have

gone after the whole fleet!

Well, it's been real guys.

Thanks for taking me out.

Yeah, we gotta

redo that bet, too.

[laughing] Deal, I'll talk

to y'all later.

Hey Josie, um...

Seeing that we don't have

school tomorrow, you

wanna, you wanna do

something with me?

I mean, just like

hang out or whatever?

Yeah, that'd be nice.

Yeah, alright, I

mean without Gator?

The f*** am I supposed

to do tomorrow?

-Yeah, I know what you mean.

-Alright.

Alright, pick me

up around two?

-Alright, you got it.

-Okay.

(Voice on TV) Maybe you'd

better fix yourself a cup

of coffee, huh?

No!

Oh, Hank!

Oh, hey.

I was just...

Heading out to the store.

This late?

Yeah, all out of uh...

Coffee and milk for the morning.

Ah, necessities.

Absolutely.

How was your night?

Good, thank you. How was yours?

Yeah, it was fine.

Hey, I wanted to, um...

I wanted to thank you.

For what?

For the race earlier.

Y'know, building

that stadium.

That's the nicest thing

someone's done for me

in a while.

It meant something.

Ah, don't sweat it.

It was fun, and those

tortoises are so cute.

[laughs]

That's what I was

trying to tell you.

Hey, when am I gonna see

that habitat of yours?

Any time you want, really.

Well, I would love to see

what you've built for 'em.

Well, you can come now

and see if you'd like.

Yeah, I'd like that.

But, um, you know I've had

a few too many and I need

to get some sleep,

so, rain check?

Oh, yeah.

Alright.

Night, then.

G'night.

Drive safe.

[peaceful music]

[lawnmower running]

(Gordon) Hank?

Get out here!

I think someone's

mad with you, Hank.

But don't worry, f***in'

Columbo here is on the case.

Oh, I hate that show.

That's not my point.

Who the hell would

do this to you, Hank?

I have no idea.

Hm.

Spank.

[laughing]

You know it, it

is kind of funny.

[both laughing]

You know, like

spank spank?

Alright, c'mon,

knock that off Romero.

Alright, just go get

something to help clean

this off.

Si, old Gor.

Sorry Spank. I mean Hank!

[laughing]

The hell is going

on out here?

Oh, uh, nothing.

I'm on my way to

the course I'll...

I'll see y'all later.

Oh.

Well that's not very nice.

I'm gonna go get ready.

Big day planned?

Gonna head over

to the marina.

I like boats.

Yeah, they got those.

Little bit beat up, but,

you should check it out

some time.

Well, have a good one.

Enjoy your day.

Hey, Hank?

Want some company?

[boat honks]

Sorry.

It's Marcus.

Marcus.

Oh, look. La Tortuga.

Hey, you should buy it.

Well, maybe in a past life.

I don't need it now.

That where you hide

all them dead bodies?

Huh?

There's some rumors about

you at school, you know.

About your past and stuff.

No one knows about me

before I came here.

Then why do I hear some

sh*t about you and

dead bodies?

You ought to rethink

who you hang with.

Well, I told him

it wasn't true.

So, what did

you do before?

Well, I wasn't cutting

corpses, but I did do

something kind of

weird, I guess.

Don't feel good to think

about it so I don't.

Like what?

I lived in Huntsville,

Texas. You know it?

Never heard of it.

Didn't think you would.

Small place.

But there's a prison there

that executes more people

than anywhere else

in the country.

I started working there

when I was just 20 years old.

Just a regular guard.

Then they put me on

the tie-down team.

What's that?

Just as it sounds, really.

We was responsible for

securing the inmate to the

gurney, tying down the

straps, making sure he

couldn't move.

IV's would go in, the

shade would fly up so the

people that came

to see could watch.

Last words were said.

Then this doctor hits the

switch and we just watched

a man or woman take

their last breath.

Jesus, that's heavy.

Yeah.

It was a heavy job.

Why'd you leave?

Found out we

killed someone...

Who shouldn't

have been killed.

First time the government

ever admitted that happened.

Really?

I feel like you always

hear about DNA or whatever

getting people

off death row.

Yeah, off death row.

Can't dig someone

up and say "sorry."

Was it recent?

Nah, it happened

years ago.

But the evidence came to

pass just a few years back.

That guy we killed?

I just couldn't

forget no more.

I packed my bags, I threw

'em in the truck and I

drove and drove

and drove 'til I...

'til I felt like quitting.

Landed here.

Stayed.

I can't...

can't even imagine what

it was like watching all

those people die.

I wish I couldn't either.

C'mon, let's
