then leave us out of it.
Come on, Max.
Hey, come on. Let's go.
Let's get in the cage, come on.
Max, hey, come on. Hey.
Get some rest, Max.
- There he is.
- Mom?
Hi. Justin, come on in. Come on in, now.
Look at you.
Justin, what have you done?
Done?
Tell the truth, Justin. Don't you dare lie.
Ma'am, if I may...
Now, I was just having
a few off-duty beers...
...with my buddy Tyler here when...
Wham!
My dog didn't know what hit him.
Got me pretty good too.
Now, that's assault.
I mean, I'm willing to drop all charges...
...if you go ahead
and put him down yourselves.
Truth is, he'll be put down regardless.
Max wasn't anywhere near you
or your dog. Mom, I mean...
Found this out near my place.
It's your bike, ain't it?
Well...
Ms. Wincott.
How about me and you have
a few words in private? Man to man?
You know what this is?
It's a Beretta M9.
Built-in laser sight, the works.
Do you know how much it's worth?
About $600 here at the mall.
Now guess what it's worth over the border.
You see, Kyle wouldn't give Emilio
the time of day...
...but I do business with him
and so do you.
That's right. We found out
about your deal on our last leave.
Kyle was gonna tell your dad too,
but I talked him out of it.
Hey, that's word of honor.
We're more alike
than you and your brother were.
Why don't you just leave Max out of it?
If it were up to me, believe me, I would.
But Stack's steaming mad.
I ain't getting downwind of it.
And, hey, you shouldn't either.
That's a bad man down there.
And them cartel dudes we're in
business with are even worse.
Do you want a front row seat
at a couple more family funerals?
That's right.
Things go wrong, you think he'll be shy
about telling those guys who's responsible?
Your mom and dad
are family to me, Justin.
So do us all a favor
and keep your mouth shut.
Did Kyle know about your business?
My business.
I'm just a small fish in a big pond.
Okay? The big fish sell weapons
all over the world...
...and then send wide-eyed hicks like me...
...and your brother over there
so we can get shot and killed by them...
...so they can cry their crocodile tears,
salute the flag...
...and then sell some more.
Kyle always wanted to be a hero.
Look where it got him.
Now, you see, me, I'm a realist.
I know the way the world turns.
Which one are you gonna be?
Come on. Come on.
Max, hey.
You don't deserve this, okay?
I know. I just...
I don't have a choice.
Thanks, Ray, I'll see you later.
Sorry I'm late.
It's all right. Pam called.
I just thought I'd hang out
a little bit longer, kind of cool down.
- Can't say as you didn't warn me.
- Yeah.
Hey, did you rent out 17-B?
Seventeen-B.
Yeah, there's a lock on the door
and I don't have an invoice.
That's mine. I mean,
it's a friend of mine's.
I'm letting him keep his stuff there
for a couple days.
- I should have asked.
- That's all right. We're all friends here.
He can keep his stuff in there.
Just come in, fill out the paperwork
and pay what's due.
Hey, Mr. Wincott. Ray.
Every kid gets in a spot of trouble
now and again.
Hello, you've reached the Wincotts. Leave a
message. We'll call you as soon as we can.
Thank you.
Mr. Wincott, Mrs. Wincott,
this is Sergeant Reyes.
Please call me at your earliest...
Harne's service record is protected by
privacy laws, but I talked to some people.
- I wanna tell your folks about...
- No.
I'm talking about some bad business.
No one could prove Harne's involvement,
but he got busted...
If you talk to my dad, I'm gonna tell
your higher-ups about that training disc.
Justin, are you all right?
I'll say you gave me
more classified stuff I threw away...
...because I was afraid
of getting in trouble.
Okay? I'll swear it. Don't
ever call here again.
Come on, boy.
Easy, easy!
Come on, come on!
Get him in there!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa. Watch out!
Whoa!
What's on your mind, Ray?
Something just isn't sitting right.
That deputy's place is way out there
in the middle of nowhere.
be doing out there, Pam?
I don't know, Ray.
I told you, he wouldn't talk to me.
If you wanna know
what's going on with Justin...
...I think it's time
you ask him yourself.
I've been keeping the peace between you two
since the day Kyle left this house.
We already lost one son, Ray.
If it's all right with you,
I'd like to hold on to the other.
Justin.
Is there anything you wanna tell me
about what happened today?
- I'm sorry.
- That's not what I meant.
I've seen you start trouble before...
...but I've never seen you do anything
other than own up to it.
I don't know, Dad,
I guess I'm just not a hero...
...like you and Kyle.
Just the way the world turns.
In '91, my unit got deployed
to Saudi Arabia.
I'd just made sergeant.
It was my first command.
I was excited.
That first night, we went into Kuwait.
We were about an hour in and we started
taking fire from our right flank.
The guy next to me got hit
and he went down.
I went to help him and I got hit. Twice.
One through the muscle
and one shattered the bone.
Turned out it was our own guys.
Friendly fire.
I got medevac'd to Germany
and the war was over so fast...
...most of the guys
got home before I did.
I got back,
there were some crazy stories.
At first, I tried to
straighten people out...
...but they just looked
so disappointed.
They didn't want to hear the truth.
They wanted a hero.
And so I stopped correcting them
sooner than I'd like to admit.
I wanted to tell Kyle.
I wanted him to know the truth.
The way that he looked at me.
The way that he looked up to me.
I just couldn't do it.
A hero always tells the truth...
...no matter what people think about him
or what the consequences are.
And you've always been that way.
So if there's anything different
that happened today...
...from what Tyler and that deputy
are saying...
...I need you to tell me about it, son.
Dad...
...I think I'm gonna go to sleep now.
Ray?
Now, you said this was a safe place
for us to store the merch.
It was, okay, but Wincott
started getting nosy.
Look, the ridge
...to keep us under the radar
till the pickup tomorrow night.
Tyler, I wanna talk to you.
What's going on here?
We're just moving my friend's stuff out,
like you said.
Deputy.
You two seem to be spending
a lot of time together lately.
Is this the beast that Max
supposedly chewed up today?
That was his brother.
He got bit so bad,
I had to put him down.
- You put him down?
- That's right.
Not Max.
What do you got in those crates?
You know, just odds and ends.
Nothing to concern yourself with.
Now, this is my property
so it is my concern. Which means...
stayed home.
You know, Ray, I'd like to know
what's going on. Yeah.
Justin! Justin! Hurry, please.
