to tell him, Billy,

when you disappear like that?

Why did you sell this place?

It was time.

It was my hat that day.

What?

It was--

It was my hat that day.

Oh, stop it.

No.

It was my hat,

and all these years,

I've been blaming you.

Billy--

I've been so mad at you.

Stop it!

No, I can't stop, Mom,

because I need to talk to you,

and I need you to talk to me

about this.

I don't want

to talk about it!

I've been so mad

at you.

Stop it.

No, I can't!

I don't want to talk

about this!

But it was my fault!

It was my fault!

I did it!

One of the drivers didn't show.

Look, we're behind schedule,

So I'm going

to the next field.

I'll drive.

Hey, boys,

Jennifer, get in the truck!

Mom, my hat!

Stop!

Hey!

Not a day goes by

I don't think about that day

and how I could have

changed it.

Oh, if I just--

Not a single day.

It doesn't matter

whose hat it was.

You were just

a little boy

who had to grow up

in a day.

And I wasn't much good

at helping you.

I'm sorry...

For everything.

But we have to stop now.

I'm so tired.

Me too.

I can live with it now...

Not having Andy.

What I can't live with

is not having you.

Mom.

You think Andy's up there

somewhere?

I don't know.

What are you going

to tell him?

Got to figure that out.

I'm his dad.

Wait a second.

Jeez, man.

I'm just getting up.

Hey, Jesus Christ.

Leo.

I was coming to see you tonight.

Hey, guys.

You been hard

to get a hold of.

Yeah, well,

things kind of got off track,

but, um, I got--

I got your money.

That's right.

This is it?

Yeah, of course.

It's, like, twice what the coke

would have been worth.

Coke?

Half of that shipment

was heroin.

Didn't you even look, huh?

You f***ing idiot!

Didn't you even look?

Come here; give me

your f***ing balls.

Where's my sh*t?

Where's

my f***ing sh*t?

What do you got there?

I haven't seen these

in years.

Check this out.

They bobble-wobble,

but they don't fall down.

Great.

Hey.

I'm sorry for being

a jerk the other day.

I'm sorry

that I've been gone a lot.

There's been a lot

going on.

What would you say

if I told you

that I was your dad?

So?

Right.

Not sure I'd want me

for a dad either.

I need to talk to you

about your mom.

Your mom loved you,

Clayton.

She loved you more

than anyone else

in the whole world.

What do you mean?

She, um...

She was in an accident.

She died.

No.

You're a liar.

No, it's true.

No!

You're a f***ing liar!

Clayton.

Fill it up.

Yes, sir.

Didn't I see you

come through here the other day,

asking directions?

No, that must have been

somebody else.

Ah.

I'll talk to him.

Nah, I should go.

Let me try.

She's coming back.

She always does.

I'm sorry, Clayton.

I know

this is hard to hear.

No!

She's coming back.

She'll come back

for this.

Oh, my God.

Clayton.

No, listen to me.

She'll come back for this.

Wait here.

For f***'s sake,

don't f*** around.

If you've got any of it,

you got to give it to 'em.

Red, I swear to you, man--

Don't f*** around!

This is deep sh*t!

You're in a whole lot

of f***ing trouble here!

What was that?

Shh.

Pete.

Run to the woods.

Hide in the woods.

No.

- Go, go.

Go!

Go!

Whoo!

Over here!

Whoo!

Get in.

Over here!

Over he--

Mom!

Mom!

Where's Clayton?

He's in the woods.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Okay.

Okay, let's do it.

What are they doing?

He's terrorizing

a lizard.

Don't forget to call me

before you start back.

Yes, Mom.

Don't let the kid give you

too much trouble.

He won't.

Here it is.

Get it. Get it.

Get it. Get it!

I used to get so melancholy

this time of year.

It's kind of sad,

the change of seasons.

Remember those big parties

we used to have out here?

Yeah.

It's just a dry patch

of dirt now.

It was just a dry patch

of dirt then.
