Make up for it, you know.
I mean, if you could.
I mean, there's only cosmetic damage,
you know. Nobody was hurt.
I guess that'd be fine.
I'll just phone it in to y'all in the morning.
I thank you so much for that.
I'm much obliged.
- Hey, you have a good night.
- You too.
Oh, f***!
Pastor, excuse me.
Sorry. I got one last thing.
I remember you went over to the Vatican
to protest that dead pope's funeral...
a few years back.
And I guess what I'm saying is...
is Italy nice?
Oh, my God.
- Italy?
- Yeah.
I was thinking about taking my wife
someplace exotic for our five-year...
and, well, Italy was at the top of the list.
Well, it's full of Italians.
There is that.
Full of Italians, huh?
Yeah, I suppose that stands to reason.
- All right, you have a good night.
- Thank you.
Oh, f***.
Let's f***in' do this!
Motherf***er.
Sheriff, I got shots fired
inside of Five Points. Repeat. I have...
Shots fired.
Repeat, shots fired inside of Five Points.
Wait a minute. In Cooper's church?
Immediate backup requested.
- Repeat, immediate backup requested.
- I got him, Daddy.
Jesus.
Pete!
Was that a gunshot, Pete?
Pete, you still there?
Pete!
Is this that obese queer,
likes to sodomize wetbacks out on Route 9?
Who is this? Where's my deputy?
Yeah, God sees all, Mr. Queer.
God takes pictures too...
unseemly photographs of men on men...
backwards, sweaty,
lust-filled carnal knowledge.
That fun for you, Mr. Queer...
have a man in your mouth not a mile
from my house of worship?
Now, there was some
unpleasantness out here tonight.
You just let us clean it up...
and I won't send
any pictures of you to the missus...
or the Courier...
those images of how you like
to use that mouth.
And I don't means stuffin' it
with Moon Pies and Coca-Cola.
I tell you what.
What about that picture of you
wiping the feces of that wetback...
off of your scrotum and genitalia?
I think the missus would like that one.
She'd put it on the mantel
at Christmastime...
right between them two stockings.
Yeah, you keep your queerhole shut,
Sheriff...
everything gonna be just fine.
What happened in there?
Them kids was cuttin'
themselves loose downstairs.
Caleb went to deal with it.
Shootin' 'em up while I'm out there
with this law dog.
You want me to move his car
on the property?
No.
Take him on across town.
Other side of the tracks,
dump him off there.
Them Feds get rather investigative
when it comes to killin' one of their own.
Hello?
This is Keenan.
I'm sorry. Who now?
Yes, sir.
That case is under
preliminary investigation.
Report was members of the church
were seeking semiautomatic firearms...
mid-2004, before AWB expired.
We have unconfirmed reports
they got a few.
Well, the intelligence suggests
that they were modifying the weapons.
At least that was the testimony
of the guy who sold 'em some shotguns.
He said they made inquiries
about modifications.
No, sir. Undercover infiltration
was unsuccessful.
Can you...
I'm sorry. Sir?
Can I call you back?
Yes, sir. Thank you.
It'll just be a few minutes.
Oh, sh*t.
If you loved me,
you'd make me some coffee.
Caleb?
Darlin'?
Oh, no!
No, Caleb!
Come on, baby doll. Come on.
Come on. Come on.
I know. I know, baby. I know.
Timothy 4, baby doll.
Timothy 4.
Timothy 4, baby. Timothy 4.
"I am now ready to be offered.
The time for my departure is at hand.
I have fought a good fight.
I have fought a good fight.
I have finished my course.
I have kept the faith."
He's on the lovin' breast ofJesus, baby.
He's gone toJesus.
I know, baby. I know. I know.
Come on.
Let me show you something, sweetie.
Let me show you something. Come on.
I want you to see something with me now.
- Lookee here.
- What?
Lookee here.
Caleb did not die in vain.
He sent them two devils to hell
before they killed him.
Probably saved us all
with his last dyin' breath.
You go rot in hell, you filthy, filthy...
Come on. Come on.
Come on, baby. Come on.
Come on. We got one upstairs.
Save it for him.
- Save it for him. Am I right?
- Oh, Daddy, you're always right.
There's a land
Beyond the river
That they call
The sweet forever
And you only reach that shore
By fate's decree
By and by we'll cross the portal
Where we'll dwell with thee, immortal
When they ring those golden bells
They're a pretty tight-knit group.
Approximately 20, 25 members...
all related by blood or marriage.
Makes it impossible
to get any coverts inside.
No, sir.
You're thinking of Fred Phelps
and his family up in Kansas.
"God hates fags."
They're irritating,
but they're not gun nuts like the Coopers.
They're suers, not doers.
Last April someone at Five Points...
reported an I ED setup
on church property.
No injuries sustained
and minimal damage done to a tree...
but in an interview
with the local media...
Cooper claimed that if a bomb had gone off
in a synagogue, a black church...
or a homo-friendly Unitarian coven...
there'd have been an uproar.
No suspects, no arrests.
Local law enforcement
chalked it up to townie kids...
having fun at the church's expense.
But it spooked the Coopers into tearing down
all the barns on their property...
turning 'em into barricade fences.
Locals call it "the great wall of bullshit."
Yes, sir, after the one in China.
What made 'em persons of interest...
was an interview Cooper gave
to the Patriot Times right about then.
He said that
"If the law won't protect us...
from the Philistines and sodomites...
we'll protect ourselves."
You couple that comment
with the allegations, and you can see why...
We've had 'em on surveillance off and on.
They're pretty easy to keep track of.
When they're not protesting gay bars
or chasing headlines...
they mostly stick to their compound...
hold their daily services.
I know I'm low man
on the totem pole...
but are you sure that's wise
at this juncture, sir?
Why? Because if you give us
a few more days...
I'm sure we can dig up something
more substantial than the sheriff's...
That's how you wanna play it.
No, sir, I'm not questioning
your call at all, sir.
I'm saying that our history with
situations like this hasn't been exactly...
Yes, sir. It's dawn here now...
but we can be fully mobilized
and on site in an hour.
I understand.
F***!
Tempted and tried
We're oft made to wonder
Why it should be
All the day long
While there are others
Living about us
Never molested
Doing wrong
When death has come
And taken our loved one
It makes our hearts
So weary and drear
Then do we wonder
Why others prosper
Living so wicked
Year after year
Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up, my brother
Live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by
Come, sweetie. Come. Come.
Farther along
We'll know all about it
Farther along
we'll understand why
All by and by
F***!
Fast little monkey!
Who fired? Who fired, goddamn it!
