Rushlights
Hi.
Hey--
What can I get you?
Well, um, I was thinking about...
The...
Turkey sandwich?
Just guessing.
Iced tea?
That's right.
Can I get you something else?
No. No, I'm good.
Thanks.
Okay.
You know, I--I was wondering...
Yes?
It's been weeks now, me coming here, and--
and, um...
I was thinking, what if I come here tomorrow
and you're no longer here?
Well, I mean, I wasn't planning
on spending the rest of my life here,
- right? I mean...
- You see? That's my point.
You know?
What if you leave
and I never find out your--
your favorite ice cream
or your favorite movie,
stuff like that?
My favorite movie's "Fight Club".
My favorite ice cream is chocolate.
Do you want to go out with me sometime?
Yeah, hello.
Ellen.
What?
What happened?
Who are you looking for?
Number 12.
It's right next door.
Sarah?
Sh*t.
Sarah?
My God.
I thought that was you.
What's going on here?
Are you all right?
Ellen. She's dead.
We gotta get out of here. Now!
Look, we gotta get your stuff!
Let's go.
I should go to the police.
They're probably already there.
Maybe we should split town for a while.
Here.
Have a coffee, a muffin.
It'll help you feel better.
The girl is Ellen,
my roommate.
She was on her own.
She'd lost her parents a couple years ago
in some accident, fell into drugs.
We got into a fight...
Because I asked her not to get loaded around me.
I heard her fighting with the guy next door, Eddie,
her dealer.
And then it stopped.
And I saw her...
On the couch sleeping.
Only, she wasn't breathing.
I don't do that anymore.
Okay.
Thank you for last night.
You don't...
Think I'm trash?
Everybody's got a story.
Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it.
Okay.
This is not my stuff.
Crowd really getting into it now.
And foul ball.
"Law offices of Cameron Brogden."
"State of Texas."
"Dear Ellen,
"as your late Uncle's friend and attorney,
"your Uncle has bequeathed his entire estate to you,
his favorite niece
and the only living relative."
Do you--do you know
what this is?
"If you have any questions,
please contact me
at your convenience."
"Cameron Brogden, attorney at law."
What is it?
...The last five consecutive bats,
so we have quite the battle on our hands.
Ellen's wallet.
Let me see.
I don't know about this.
It ju--
it feels like...
Trespassing.
I just want to see something.
Unbelievable.
I mean, you guys could be twins.
We are one strike away.
I, --
I got an idea.
What?
It's--it's a bit crazy,
but it could work.
Nobody on.
A perfect game.
I think we should contact that lawyer.
Hi. You've reached the law offices
of Cameron Brogden.
Leave me a message.
Hi. This is Ellen Niles.
I received your letter and wanted to let you know
that I'm on my way down to Texas.
I'll be in touch when I get there.
Thank you.
I think we're close.
Tremo radio, west Texas.
It's 85 degrees now
with a song right on the guitar for playing the blues.
Well, I'm moving in the morning...
You know what?
This is nuts.
Don't worry.
We're gonna be fine.
My name is Ellen Niles.
I'm 21 years old,
visited my late Uncle Zachary once, almost 15 years ago.
I was real young, so I don't really remember much.
Why did Niles leave all his cash to Ellen,
to you?
He didn't have any kids of his own.
Besides my parents, who passed away,
I'm his only living relative.
How did Niles get so rich?
My grandfather was a lawyer and developer in Pasadena.
Very good.
And I like that.
How do you do?
You must be...
Billy. Ellen's friend.
Cameron Brogden.
Good to meet you.
- Please.
- Thank you.
Okay, you just need to sign right there.
First I'm gonna need to see...
- ...some picture I.D.
- Sure.
You know, a driver's license, birth cert,
passport, something like that.
It's just a formality.
Okay.
Heh.
If you could sign right there.
Well, should I show you around the property?
Sure. All right.
I have a question.
What kind of money are we talking about?
Well, let's just say
your Uncle was a prominent man.
We're talking in the seven-figure range.
We just walk over to that hill...
You can get a view of the whole place.
Right over there, that's God's country.
See that second Ridge, right there?
Right along there, that's the border,
the second Ridge, and it goes all the way around.
What's that turned-over tractor doing there?
That's--
that's where your Uncle met his demise.
What happened?
Well...
Nobody knows for sure, you know,
but maybe the heat was a factor.
It was over 100 degrees that day.
He flipped the tractor.
He must have hit his head.
Thanks for your time, folks.
I'm real sorry about your loss.
Thanks.
I'll try and do my best to make things
as easy as possible for you.
You two have a good evening.
That guy makes me nervous.
You did great,
except you shouldn't have pushed
so hard about the old man's money.
Everything all right with you boys?
Well, everything's fine now that you're here.
Call me if you need anything.
All right. We will.
That cookie pusher's got the hots for you, little brother.
Please. Heh heh.
Foreigners mention what they were
gonna do with the inheritance?
Didn't say.
Don't it strike you the least bit strange
that he leaves all that scratch
to some girl he barely knew?
No.
It's called inheritance, Bob.
She's entitled to it, by birth.
I know what the word "inheritance" means.
Well...
Anyway, I gotta finish up another report.
Burglary yesterday over at the lazy inn.
Sounds like you got a crime wave on your hands.
Yeah. All started up
since Niles kicked.
Hey, how about leaving me some scratch for this?
No!
That's on you, bro.
It was on me yesterday!
Sweet smell of perfume
fading fast
Say you love me, too...
Sarah?
- I'm in here.
- I feel like a fool
for thinking about
having you...
What is it?
They're letters,
love letters from--
from some woman.
How romantic.
Listen to this.
"I know in my heart this child is ours,
"no matter what you say.
"I beg you to acknowledge your son,
who, in your heart,
you must know is yours."
The last thing we need is someone else
thinking they can get in on the money.
Hurry up, fat man.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Come back here! Hey!
Whoa!
Look at this thing.
Whoa.
It's a hunting rifle.
Be careful.
Put it away.
Please?
It's okay.
Did we shoot somebody?
My God.
Hem hey. Hey, hombre!
Had a small accident.
Need a lift into town.
Thank God you're back.
I was so worried.
I looked everywhere.
Whoever it was...
Disappeared.
You didn't,
tell anybody about us coming here, did you?
What?
I can't believe you would even ask me that.
Okay. Okay. Sorry.
But what about the car?
I mean, somebody is gonna be looking for that.
What do you want me to do?
Call the cops?
I'll make sure nobody'll find it.
Anyway, I pushed the El Camino to the old barn
next to Niles' caddy.
We haven't had nothin' like this for a while, sal.
