no matter what it takes.

Well this

is getting complicated.

Seems you Layla Knuckles.

That's me.

Well

there's a general bulletin

on a Miss Layla

Knuckles for gun theft

which is a felony.

So that means you're

gonna get fingerprinted,

photographed, and the

handcuffs are gonna go on.

And you're gonna

be sent back with

Deputy Tom Dickerson.

You can put those

handcuffs on now Tom.

She should be considered

a flight risk.

Shoot the

cuffs out here young lady.

What are you

putting hands cuffs

on a little girl for?

What do you think

she's gonna take off

running through the

cornfields with the cows?

Shut up will ya?

rights, you speak when

I ask you the questions

and then you can answer me.

Yes sir.

And

a runaway report so

you're both going back

with Deputy Tom.

Can you shut that recording

device off please?

Ok Tom, they're all yours.

Alright,

come on you guys.

We got a long night ahead of us.

Watch yourself there.

Come on out!

This is a great

opportunity for me man.

I mean, I liked you.

I liked your music, I

like this old bucket.

The man upstairs put

this right in my lap

and you want to take it all

away for no good reason.

I gotta get

back to Mississippi.

My wife is sick, probably dead.

And I outta be dead myself.

This is killing me.

Picked up you kids,

you got me in trouble.

Got the police on my back.

You gotta go and

you gotta go now.

Thing is you never

even heard me play the blues.

Too late for that now.

Maybe for

you but not for me.

Alright kid, get

back in the bucket.

I'll give you a ride

to the bus station.

I'd rather walk.

Do me a favor, plug

me in and listen.

You at least owe me that.

Well suit yourself.

Break a leg walking down

to that bus station.

Hey there sweetie.

I'm not such a bad guy.

You can take those

cuffs off if you like.

You know what you want in life.

May I speak to Mr. Moore.

Well I wanted to ask if you

could postpone the auction.

Tomorrow?

Well I'm gonna be there.

But that's my place,

that's Lilly's place.

Lilly King you

left me in a mess!

I can't take this no more.

I can't do it by myself baby.

If you were here I

might could make it.

But I can't do it by myself.

I'm done, I'm through,

I can't take it.

You see this bucket?

It's been with me since Moon.

It's still empty, this is crazy.

There's no record

contract in there.

What's going on here.

You don't

believe I'm real do you?

Girl you scaring me.

The last gig

is in Moon with me.

Lord Lilly you

done sent me to hell.

You promised me

you were going home, Ok?

I hear you Lilly.

I'm trying to get back.

Alright thanks.

Oh can I get some coffee

from you too sugar please?

Yes, I'll

bring it right out.

Now that's odd.

Chow down tonight guys, it's

your last night of freedom.

Can I go to the bathroom?

Oh, me too.

One at a time.

I kinda got

to go right now.

Alright go ahead.

I've got your guitar.

Don't I know you?

Sure you

do, now take off!

Well hello

You are one handsome man.

And I'm an attractive woman.

Wow,

Everywhere and no where.

But what matters now

is that we're together.

We are?

kids back there?

All I see is you.

Where'd

everybody go?

Layla are you Ok?

Come on get up, are you alright?

Sam I'm so cold

I can't feel my feet.

I can't feel anything anymore.

We have to go, come on.

Maybe we should just

stay here and just sleep.

No, we'll freeze,

we'll die out here.

And that's Ok with me.

What's the point anyway?

They're just gonna take

me and send me back

to that broken down home again.

Come here, come here.

I'm sorry Sam

I'm such a loser.

No you're not,

you're somebody special.

Just go without me.

No you'll freeze out here.

I can't, I can't move.

Yes you can, come

on we're going to Moon.

We saw Lilly remember?

I'm not sure.

That changes everything.

That means there's

hope for all of us.

She's an angel Layla.

Come on that means

life continues.

Let's go we've got to

save the Blues Bucket.

Come on.

Oh man, what a night.

Oh, I think I was

dreaming about Knuckles.

I kinda miss her, I

wonder where she is.

What's up?

Hey could we get a ride?

Where you going?

Climb aboard.

Great.

I'm

going all the way to

New Orleans so you got lucky.

Great.

What

did you spend a night

in a cow field?

Yeah, we're freezing.

Wow you guys got a computer

back here and everything.

Yeah, Wifi, Mac

Can I use it?

Well

why the hell not?

That's what it's there for.

You look

pretty tired yourself.

Yeah, all the

way from Henning, Minnesota.

I almost nodded off back there.

I knew you'd

make the right decision

brother, I heard

the music and I knew

it was the call, your call.

Let's hit the road.

Dustin I don't

know what happened.

Lights were flashing

and the truck

was moving all around,

music was coming out.

I didn't do nothing.

I had nothing to do with it.

It must be Lilly's call.

She's not dead yet.

We gotta get back to Moon.

And I'll tell you

brother I'm so glad

you're back with me.

I don't wanna ride

by myself now.

Too many strange

things happening.

Let's go!

I'm telling you I

know Lilly's up there.

I know the

But I don't know how in the

world she let this happen.

If they was so all powerful

then why am I out here like this

broke on the street

and gotta go back

and watch these

people sell the place.

Something wrong

with that picture.

Ladue, Ladue you still

sleep back there?

You crashed out,

you still sleep?

Man great company

you turned out to be.

What a companion!

How's it going?

Well the website's
