Live or Die in La Honda Page #2

(Jack and Lucas laughing)

You guys

the welcoming committee?

Yeah, I'm the mayor.

I'm the governor.

And I'm in need

of another drink.

How often does a man like me

Meet up with a woman

like you

How often does a man like me

May I have another

delicious alcoholic beverage?

Yeah, sure thing, Lucas,

just give me a minute.

I just wanna know

How often does a man like me

stay gone

I'll have

the bartender's choice.

On a old rotten law

I bust them up just

like a one eyed dog

With nothing but holes left

In my last pair of shoes

You walked right up

You took away all my blues

And you ask me

do I wanna know

How often does like a

man like me stay gone

You came.

I did.

How often does a man like me

Meet up with a woman

like you

How often does a man like me

- Ooh-rah.

- Ooh-rah.

Jesus.

(Lucas clearing throat)

Just a minute, Lucas.

- Ooh-rah.

- Ooh-rah.

(country music

playing on radio)

Hey, this bar

is a historical landmark.

Take those shoes off,

or get the f*** out.

[Blake] I see you

haven't lost your charm.

Well, these douchebags

from over the hill,

they come in here and scuff

up my floor with their shoes

on their way to the shitter,

and they don't even

buy a f***ing drink.

I swear to God if we had

one of those Purge days

where all crime was legal,

I'd take out about

20 of those Silicon Valley

twats with my truck.

Amen to that.

Muchas gracias.

Hm.

It's good to see you, Vic.

It's good to see you.

[Lucas] So you guys

get laid last night or?

- Well, not together.

- No.

Why ask me up here

to do something

you can handle yourself?

What are you not telling me?

There's a lot of things

I'm not telling you.

But if you stick around,

I might be willing

to share my secrets.

I'll stick around long

enough to help you find Ryan.

But that's it, then I'm gone.

I'm going home,

I'm going back to L.A.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

I'm tired,

I'm just gonna relax.

You can chill out here,

drink on the house.

You need some R&R,

you know my place is only

two blocks away.

I can't relax with you around.

I know.

Yeah.

Rock bottom

Yeah

Seeing her again

brought back memories,

so I went to clear my head.

The more I thought about her

reasons for wanting me there,

the less they made sense.

I could have left then,

I should have left,

but there's a big

difference between knowing

the right thing to do

and actually doing it.

I should never have come.

(soft music)

[Michelle] So Egg La Honda

and a coffee

will be $6.50, please.

[Blake] There you go.

[Michelle] Out of 10?

Good morning.

Where'd you sleep?

Out among the redwoods.

I'm going over the

hill to run some errands.

You wanna join me?

No, I'm good right here.

Then can you come over

in a couple of hours?

I've got something

I need to show you.

Will you come?

Yeah, OK.

Sweet titty pie.

What do you think?

Let's see where he goes.

(blues music)

It just won't go

Oh River

River won't come oh no

Beautiful, huh?

Dude, I've been shooting

this coast for over a decade.

Hey, isn't this where that

big drug bust just happened

somewhere around here?

Yeah, right over there.

The rumor is that some

dipshit drove down on the sand

and got stuck

while they were loading.

Some dipshit, huh?

He probably got himself killed.

[Rita] He's camping just

outside of Sam MacDonald.

Yeah, you're on tonight.

Make sure you come heavy.

[Vic] It was my mother's.

He never took it off.

Wake up, Vic, Ryan's dead.

You need to go to the police.

Let's go, I'll take you.

I ain't going to the police.

Why?

Because what I'm about to do

is illegal.

You knew, didn't you?

I suspected.

Bullshit.

You knew.

You knew, and you know

who killed him.

Don't bullshit me, Vic!

You knew!

I knew.

That was your f***ing plan

all along.

To bring me up here

and uproot my life

to help you kill the people

who murdered your brother.

Is that so crazy?

Yeah, it's f***ing insane.

We're civilians, we can't go

around killing people anymore.

We made promises to

each other back then.

That day.

You told me

you'd always have my back.

I'm a Marine, not a mercenary.

Mercenaries kill for money.

This is about honor.

I don't kill at all.

Not anymore,

can you understand that?

Then back me up.

Be here with me.

I can't, I'm trying to be

a different kind of person.

I'm sorry.

You and me, we're a team,

Blake Baker.

We're at our best together.

Yeah, and our worst.

San Gregorio.

(upbeat music)

Well one I met a woman

And I thought

that she was nice

We spent

the night together

Your coffee's ready.

What's your poison?

Lagunitas.

[Lindsey] Okey dokey, smokey.

Were you working here

Tuesday morning?

Sure was.

Did you happen

to notice anybody

mailing anything unusual?

You mean, like, a necklace?

Yeah, yeah, that's it.

Do you remember who it was?

Yeah, don't know his name,

but a hella good tipper.

I'm wondering if you could

do me, like, a big favor.

The next time he comes in here,

would you call me?

No need to let him know we had

this conversation, alright?

Whatever floats your boat,

man.

Thanks.

(soft music)

Ryan was gone,

and he wasn't coming back.

There was no reason

for me to stay.

I did my part to help.

Come morning, I was going home.

(soft dramatic theme)

(gun firing)

(gun firing)

Three, four, five.

(gun firing)

[Gunman] Ah.

Who sent you?

I'm not gonna ask again.

[Gunman] F*** you!

(gun firing)

Vic.

(intense theme music)

(Blake breathing heavily)

[Vic] Hello again.

[Blake] Is anyone else here?

[Vic] Nope, just me

and the boys.

[Blake]

I'm gonna need your help.

You need a drink.

Listen to me,

I just killed two men.

[Vic] Who?

I don't know.

I've never seen them before.

They slashed my tires, come on,

let's go.

Gentlemen, would you mind

holding the fort down for a bit?

Do I get to drink on the job?

I insist.

I'm in.

Feel free to take

all the time you need.

And don't give him any more.

(Lucas speaking in Spanish)

(soft music)

You still got it, Sergeant.

We should go to the police.

What, I was defending myself.

You have no idea

what's going on up here.

Why don't you enlighten me?

I'll explain everything later.

Come on, we gotta roll.

(suspenseful music)

[Blake] What if someone

heard the gunshots?

[Vic] You were too far

out of town

for most people to hear.

Those who could

probably don't care.

[Blake] Someone always

cares when you fire a gun.

[Vic] Even if they did,

they'll assume someone

was firing off rounds

in the woods.

Happens all the time

around here.

What the hell is going on?

I'm guessing you've

talked to Joe Cooper.

Yeah.

How'd you know?

Word is he's upped his game

from weed to the harder stuff.

The guys we dropped off

were a couple of burnouts.

They'd kill their own kids

for a little bit of meth.

I guess Joe didn't

like our conversation.

Let's see

how he likes the next one.

How are the cops involved?

Joe's partner, Rita,

she's a cop.
