No Good Heroes

---

[MUSIC PLAYING]

WHO DID THIS?

I DID.

THESE THINGS ARE BURIED HERE

ARE THE REASON:

THE GOVERNMEN POISONED OUR LAND.

MUST'VE BEEN 100

OF THESE SONS OF B*TCHES.

WHAT KIND OF B*TCHES?

HEY.

ALIENS.

AND I DON'T MEAN MEXICANS.

NO. ALIENS FROM ANOTHER WORLD.

BUT BEING THE TOTAL SCREW-UPS

OUR GOVERNMENT ARE,

THEY DIDN'T GET 'EM ALL.

THEY SURE GO ALL THE WILDLIFE,

DIDN'T THEY?

DON'T YOU EVER

SAY A WORD OF THIS

TO ANYONE, WYATT.

IF YOU DO,

I'LL SPANK YOUR BUTT SO HARD,

YOU WON'T BE ABLE

TO RIDE YOUR BIKE FOR A MONTH.

I PROMISE.

[MAN ON TV]

IF SUDDENLY THERE WAS

A THREAT TO THIS WORLD

FROM SOME OTHER SPECIES,

-FROM ANOTHER...

-[TV TURNS OFF]

THEY DON'T GIVE A FLYING CRAP

ABOUT US OUT HERE.

WE TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES,

WYATT.

DON'T EVER FORGET THAT.

ARE THERE ANY MORE OF THEM?

I WANNA SEE ONE.

CAN I?

NOW, MOST OF THEIR FOOD SUPPLY

HAS DIED OFF,

SO THEY'RE HUNGRY.

THEY'RE REAL HUNGRY.

WHAT THEY LOVE:

IS THESE FLANK STEAKS.

OKAY, LET'S GO.

[SCREECHES]

NOW YOU'VE SEEN ONE.

ALL RIGHT, BOY.

IT'S YOUR TURN NOW.

I DON'T WANT TO.

WYATT, IF YOU'RE GONNA

GROW UP AND BE A MAN,

YOU GOTTA LEARN TO HUNT.

NOW, GO ON.

WYATT!

WYATT!

WYATT!

WHERE ARE YOU?

[CHITTERING]

GET OFF MY SON.

WELL, I'LL BE DAMNED.

YOU GOT A LITTLE MONSTER

IN THE OVEN, DON'T YOU?

AIN'T GONNA BE ANY OF THAT.

WYATT, GO TO THE TRUCK.

LOCK THE DOORS.

[SCREECHES IN DISTANCE]

[CHITTERING]

[WHEEZING]

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

THANK YOU, KATHY.

ARE YOU EXCITED:

TO GET A PARTNER?

HE'S NOT MY PARTNER,

HE'S JUST TAKING OVER

A COUPLE SHIFTS:

SO I CAN HAVE A LIFE AGAIN.

CAN I HELP YOU?

ACTUALLY,

I'M HERE TO HELP YOU.

AND JUST HOW ARE YOU

GONNA HELP ME?

REALLY NEEDED:

A CHANGE OF SCENERY,

IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

YEAH, I-- I HEARD ABOU WHAT WENT DOWN

IN GREENVILLE.

NOT TO WORRY,

ELM GROVE IS A QUIET TOWN.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA

NEED TO USE YOUR GUN

UNLESS YOU SEE A RATTLESNAKE

OR SOMETHING.

YOU HAVE RATTLESNAKES UP HERE?

I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE.

LISTEN, I'VE GO SOME ERRANDS TO RUN

AND I'LL BE BACK

IN A LITTLE WHILE.

-ALL RIGHT?

-OH, YEAH.

I ALMOST FORGOT.

LUCAS...

HERE YOU ARE.

IT'S THAT TIME

OF YEAR AGAIN.

[WATER DRIPPING]

[ECHOING]

THE HUNTERS ARE COMING.

I KNOW HOW MUCH:

YOU HATE GUNS.

THIS SHOULD TIDE YOU OVER

UNTIL THINGS QUIET DOWN.

SOME DAY, MAYBE

THEY'LL COME BACK FOR YOU.

YEAH, I CAN SEE WHY NOT.

ALL THESE YEARS,

I'VE BEEN WONDERING...

WHY'D YOU COME HERE

IN THE FIRST PLACE?

THERE'S NOT A DAMN THING HERE.

AS YOU CAN SEE,

THERE'S NOT A LOT GOING ON

IN ELM GROVE.

THE SUN GOES DOWN,

IT GETS PRETTY QUIET.

HOPE YOU GO A SATELLITE DISH.

YEAH, AND I JUST GO A NEW 60-INCH TV.

WELL, GOOD.

IT CAN GET PRETTY LONELY.

NO WONDER IT'S DEAD IN HERE.

HEY, JENNY.

I THINK YOU WON OVER

A NEW CUSTOMER.

YOU LIKE IT?

-MM-HMM.

-LUCAS WAS JUST SAYING THA HE CAN'T BELIEVE

NO ONE ELSE IS IN HERE.

YEAH.

THIS PLACE HAS BEEN ABOU AS SLOW AS MY LOVE LIFE LATELY.

HUNTING SEASON:

STARTS THIS WEEKEND.

-OH, YEAH.

-BUSINESS SHOULD PICK UP.

YEAH, 'CAUSE THERE'S ONLY ME!

AND THE BOBBY'S BURGERS

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN.

NO ONE WOULD CHOOSE

BOBBY'S OVER JENNY'S.

-NO.

-COME ON, GIVE ME

ONE MORE CHANCE.

STOP! HEY.

[YELLS]

MAYBE YOU SHOULD

BUY SOME BOOTS.

[GROANING]

-SHOULD I GO?

-NO.

WHAT IS IT? DID--

DID I SAY SOMETHING?

NO.

I DON'T KNOW, BLAKE.

I DON'T THINK

I CAN DO THIS.

DO-- DO WHAT?

YOU THINK IT'S MINE?

OF COURSE IT'S YOURS,

A**HOLE.

I'M SCARED.

EVIE...
