- It's only natural.

And all of those men

have gone out of my life.

- What do you think that is?

- Because they weren't me.

And who are you?

I'm the man who's

going to make you happy.

That's very romantic.

Be good to her,

and she'll be good to you.

Are you sure you're not

just trying to seduce me?

It's you who have seduced me.

We'll see.

- She tell you anything?

- Plenty.

She loves him even though

he stood her up and left her behind.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

That bastard.

- Yeah.

What will you do?

I'll run this tree farm

over here she wants to start.

- A nursery?

- Yeah, a nursery.

- I'd be good at that.

- You'd give up crime?

Crime isn't a way of life for me.

It's a knowledge.

It's an intelligence about things

that i've been able to capitalize on.

But, yeah, i'll give it up.

- It's just the breeze.

- I thought i heard footsteps.

It's nothing, i guess.

Give me that.

F***.

- What is that?

- Fertilizer.

Yeah. Me, too.

It's him.

I know it's him.

Don't panic. Me and dennis

will stay up until daylight.

- She's asleep on the couch.

No, she's not.

- It's jack.

- No, it's dad.

- Our dad.

Dennis, just let him go.

No way, not after

i've gotten this close.

He must've know you're here

and didn't want to see you.

This isn't about what he wants,

it's about what i want.

- Who do you think you are?

- I'm your son.

- How old are you, dennis?

- 23

Dad...

did you bomb the pentagon?

What?

You heard me. Are you responsible

for the bombing in '68?

Why do you want to know that?

I need to know if my father's

a premeditated murderer.

- Is that why you've come looking for me?

- Yes.

Dennis, you impress me

more and more by the minute.

You haven't answered my question.

- No.

- No what?

- No, i didn't.

- No, you didn't plant the bomb?

That's right.

- You know who did?

- No.

But even if i did know,

i wouldn't have told.

So you've been in hiding

all this time for nothing.

I'm good at it.

Relax.

- Good morning.

- Bonjour.

So, is your boss interested

in buying the motorcycle?

- Not really.

- How much wil he give me?

- Not much.

- How much?

- 50 bucks maybe.

- 50 bucks? That's plenty.

You'll get a lot more

somewhere else.

- Is he inside?

- Can you come back tomorrow?

- I've got to leave today.

- He's in real a bad mood.

I'll take half that much.

- Hold it right there, pal.

- What is this?

Vic, you never told me

you were packing a rod.

- What have you done to kate?

- I haven't done anything to kate.

That's her car, isn't it?

I just borrow it.

The motorcycle was given to us.

- Right. The way you borrowed that motorcycle.

- To us?

- To me.

- You said us?

- I don't have to talk to you.

- Shut up and sit down.

- Go ahead and call her.

- Call who?

Call kate.

She'll tell you

she lent me the car.

- Hey, is that jack?

- I hope not.

I think it is.

- Is that jack?

- Go outside.

- But, kate...

- go on.

- Dennis, what's going on?

- I'm not sure.

We can't let him go, kate.

The sheriff's on his way over.

- What has he done?

- He stole that motorcycle

and he was involved in some big

robbery the day before yesterday.

- It's right here in the paper.

- Get out of here.

- Is that true?

- No.

- I'm going to go get bill.

- No. Don't let bill come down here.

- Why?

- Just don't.

Listen, i'm sorry about this.

- Can i do anything?

- Yes.

What?

Help bill, get away

to martin's boat.

I can't do that.

Please. Just do it.

Our father's there waiting for him.

- Is your father a criminal, too?

- No, he's a baseball player.

- Morning, sheriff.

- Yeah, right. Give me some coffee.

You the suspect?

- Yes.

- What's your name?

Dennis.

I don't know.

I don't know anybody

to blame but myself.

I mean, right from the start,

it was a painful, unsatisfying relationship.

I'm sorry.

Life...

is sad.

- Thanks for breakfast.

- It's okay.

- Take care of yourself.

- I will.

What happened?

Why are all the men

in my life criminal?

- Where's dennis? -he's been arrested.

- For what?

- For your crimes, no doubt.

Kate, i was going

to tell you everything.

- Yeah? When?

- In time.

- You lied to me.

- I never lied to you.

You should leave now.

The cops will be here soon.

I don't want to leave.

Your father's at martin's boat.

They'll take you.

- Take me where?

- I don't know.

- I got to go get dennis.

- No.

He said not to.

He wants you to go with your father.

Kate, they've got nothing on me

if you tell them

i've been here

for the past three days.

You want me to lie for you?

Yes.

I won't lie for you.

- I thought you wanted me to stay.

- I do. I really do.
