Homefront (2013)
They're in.
This will make me happy. How much should we cook? This batch will yield 30 pounds. Move, tweak. Are you fucking kidding me? Don't be lighting that shit up in here. Take it outside, Jojo. All right. Deal we had was 50 keys by a plane, JT. Your guy gets held up at Port Arthur, that is not my problem. Danny T will appreciate that. Everything set, Dalton? Yeah, all good. Same plane, same pilot, same price. Good. Fuck this half-ass plane. We have 20 hardcore motherfuckers who can drive this shit to Tucson. Well, my way is the safe way. Your call, Danny. Look, you're my kid, but we're doing it Dalton's way. Everybody, let's start packing this shit up. We're out of here in 30 minutes. Let's go. Let's roll, boys. Go, go, go. - Go, go, go. - Get your hands up. We need to go. We need to go. DEA! Show me your hands! Don't move. Don't move. Show me your hands! Get 'em up! Get on the ground! Jesus Christ. Somebody give me a 20 on my agent inside. - Don't move. - All right. Don't do it! Don't do it! You were one of us, you fucking rat! Move. Move. What the fuck was that? Jojo, let's get the fuck out of here. Drop your weapon! Freeze. He's undercover! Stand down! Stand the fuck down! Put your fucking weapon down! Take that, motherfucker! All units, I got two on the move. Dark green muscle car heading south-east on St. Bernard towards MLK. Agent in pursuit. I repeat, agent in pursuit. What the fuck was that? Fuck! There's cops all over the fucking place. Fuck! Fuck! Come on, Dalton. You wanna play chicken, motherfucker? Let's do this. Out of this car, Danny. Out of the car! You rat, motherfucker! Put the gun down. Drop it, Jojo. Drop the gun. Drop it! Ahh! Drop the gun. Stand down! Stand down! He's DEA! Get him away. Stand down. Fuck you. You were one of us. You murdered my son, you motherfucker. You're dead. Your kids are fucking dead. He was down. He was done. He went for his gun. That's protocol, Broker. Broker. Broker! Don't walk away from me. Broker! Cool hat. Thanks. Give it back. You scared? I said, give it back. You want it? Come get it. What are you gonna do about it? Cry? Go on. Cry. I asked you twice. Twice what, loser? I asked twice. Yeah, if you're gonna take the job, you might as well do it right. There's all kinds of wood you can get here. You got virgin cypress, you got longleaf pine, you got that pressure treated pine. Well, that's my favorite one. Now, anybody want to use the cheapest shit they can find, might as well buy the shit from IKEA. Look at this. Mites done ate all through it. Man! Wonder why you got to do the job again every two years. That's some shit. Look at this. Hello. I'll be right there. Something wrong? Oh, something at Maddy's school. You okay to finish? Yeah, man. I'm working with you, not for you, Broker. Hey, Broker, don't sweat it. It's probably nothing. Yeah, you could be right. I hear you, but you need to stay calm about this. Stay calm? I don't feel calm, so why the hell should I stay calm? No, 'cause it makes no logical damn sense. Now I want this thing settled, and I mean now. It's gonna be, honey. But getting yourself all wound up like this ain't helping. Who's that, huh? That's right. Just listen to Jim. Who's that? You know him? Huh? I don't know. Is that the father of the goddamn little girl? Are you the father? Mr. Broker? What happened? Maddy's fine. She's in the classroom. Will you come with me? I want to see my boy. - Teddy, baby, you okay? - Cassie! Look at this. Does it hurt? I know it does. Look, there's blood all over his goddamn new shirt, Jimmy. That's why you gotta watch the sneaky little bitches on the playground. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey, what, huh? Hey, what? You wanna say something? Hey, hey, hey. You wanna say something to me? Why don't we just let them leave the building? Why is the sheriff here? For Cassie Bodine. Last time we had a scene with Cassie, she threatened the principal. Their son is a special needs case. By the way, I'm Susan Hetch, school psychologist. Phil Broker. Listen, you've got a great girl. You all right? So, what happened? I warned him two times, like I was supposed to. The schoolyard monitor said she saw Maddy hit Teddy pretty hard, like she knew what she was doing. He started it. He's a bully. Maddy, come on. Hey. Maybe this is my fault. I taught her to defend herself. Think it's good teaching your little girl to fight? No. Defend herself though, yeah. Hey, Maddy, do you mind waiting in the hall, just for a minute? Yes, ma'am. Thank you. So, Why'd you guys move up here? It's a little remote for most people. She wanted a horse. Maddy's mother grew up around here, so thought it'd be a good place to start rebuilding. Her file says that your wife died fairly recently. Last year? Yeah. It's been hard on her. Her mom was sick for a while. Anything else? Why has he been picking on me? Yeah, he picks on you because he thinks you're different. But I'm not different Well, from him you are. Nothing gets clone about it. Except this guy here gets walking along. - Nothing happening there. - Okay. Oh, well, then do it. Do it! All right. Hey, Broker. Hey, Jimmy. Broker! All right, stand by the car, baby. What's wrong? Just stand by the car, please. Don't take any shit, Jimmy. Jimmy, back in the truck, please. You owe my son a goddamn apology. Take it easy, like the officer said, okay? Jimmy, back in the truck, please. Some sneaky little bitch cheap shots my son. Somebody owes us a goddamn apology. That's goddamn right. Don't call her that, please. Don't call her that. Can you get in the truck, please, honey? Don't turn your back on me. Honey, baby, get in the truck. - Get him, Jimmy. Get him, Jimmy. - Hey, hey, hey! - Come on, take him down, Jimmy. - Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Arrest him! Keith! Get off of him. Back off. What the fuck are you doing? Get this motherfucker out of here. Sir, move away. God damn it, what are you doing? Keith, what the fuck are you doing? Cassie, shut up. You're gonna let him get away with that? It's okay, baby. Get in the truck. It doesn't look okay. It's okay. Get in the truck. - Go and do something, will you? - Are you okay? Breathe, Jimmy. Jesus Christ! Yes, mosey on over. - Am I in trouble here? - No, no. I saw what happened. He was out of line. You really had to take him down that hard though? Embarrassed a man in front of his child, Mr. Broker. It goes both ways, Sheriff. She all right? You all right? So, you moved into the old Griffin place awhile back? What you doing to keep busy around here? There a reason you're asking these questions? Well, maybe I'm just being friendly. Or maybe I'm bored, or maybe I'm curious, or whatever, it doesn't matter. It's my right to ask. Things got out of hand, Sheriff. That won't happen again. Dad. There's a bunch of teachers watching us right now. You're a pussy. What? I said you are a motherfucking pussy. That's what you are. You let him make fools out of all of us, in front of everybody. Now the whole fucking town is gonna know. Look, I lost my... You lost your what, Jimmy? You lost your what? I lost my balance. You fucking lost your balance. He spun you, dropped you on your ass. Mom, don't curse. Dad tripped just like me. What's the plan, Jimmy? Right now, nothing. We still got Keith on our tail. Fuck Keith! How did he buy that new truck? That's what I want to know. How did he buy that new truck? Who? Who? Fucking who? Him! The motherfucker that put you clown. You forget him? My God, he put you down so hard. I gotta see my brother. Let's just keep this a family matter, Cass. What do you call him? Yeah, now you're acting all big. Fucking idiot. Come on now, fire that fucking shit up. Look at you, you dumb motherfucker! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Afternoon. Tweaker birds, cooking up some shit. Turn that music off. Turn that fucking music off! Hey. How old are you? Seventeen. All right, go on. Get out of here. Are you coming? They ain't coming. Get the fuck out of here! As for you guys... Fuck! Oh, fuck. My name is Gator Bodine. Hope I didn't hurt you too badly, sir. Just wanted you to get a little taste of what's gonna happen to you if you continue cooking this illegal substance in my neck of the woods. Look, man. We didn't mean no disrespect. This here is just for us, you know. Oh, I don't doubt it. Just fun, just kids having fun. Enjoying life. Celebrating. Well, let me warn you, I've got a five-gallon can of gasoline out in my truck that I will happily pour down your fucking throats if I ever catch you cooking and stinking up my town again. God, stop! Now, listen up. I don't wanna have to kill a bunch of little kids. You will stand up and run, in any direction you please. Just not this one. That clear? Yeah. All right, now get the fuck out of here! Go! Run! Run! Piece of shit kindergarten operation. Fucking kids suck. How are the knuckles, bruiser? It feels fine now, Dad. Oh, yeah? Watch out, here comes Maddy Mad-fists. Pow! Dad. Really? Mmm-hmm. Really? Come on. All right, listen. I'm proud you stood up for yourself. You set boundaries with this kid. Sounds like a motorboat. What, is he snoring? Dad? Yeah. Were you scared today? The truth. There's nothing wrong with being a little scared. Then why didn't you look scared? Lots of practice. Night, Luther. Dad? Yes. What do you think of Miss Hetch? I'd say she's... I'd say she's all right. You know what I mean. Yes. I know exactly what you mean. Goodnight. Goodnight. Shit. Look, you need to cool way down. I need to cool way down? You think we're gonna be disrespected by some son of a bitch? Well, I hate to say it, but putting your old man on the ground ain't any big thing. When he was talking to Keith, I heard him say... What, the fucking sheriff was there? I heard him say he was living at the old Griffin place. Fuck. Can't you go over there and do some things? Do what things? Mess with their heads, like you do everyone else. Scare 'em. Hey, boss. We good for the night? I'll talk lo you two in a minute, all right? All right. Good seeing you again, Cassie. What the hell's wrong with those two? Never mind 'em. Fucking monkeys is what they are. Hey. Mmm? You look a little jumpy. I know. I need something. I need a little something to stop my stomach from knotting up. You want me to beg? No. No. If I can control it, you can control it, right? Yeah. I'll handle that Broker thing. Thank you. Planning kids' birthday parties, it's my specialty. Be happy to take care of it for her. Thanks. I'm not very good with those things. Missed half of them. Don't worry. I'm on it. It'll be fun. You know, she really likes you, Susan. It's a bit of a milestone, I'd say. Do you think you can talk to her sometime? Of course. Maddy used to talk to her mom for hours. I think she'd like to talk to a woman more often. I'd be happy to. Thanks. One more thing, people around here can do some foolish things. Meaning? It's a bit like Appalachia, like feuds, they still exist. And you're new here. So I just think it would be best for Maddy if you would smooth everything over while it's still fresh in people's minds. Just two kids working things out. You can go from two kids and a fistfight to the emergency room real fast. I didn't know this town had an emergency room. Now you're catching on. Look, people talk. They decided you're a question mark, so. Keep it smooth. Check. You want something around here? I don't think so. Look, what happened, happened. We don't want any more trouble. See, your kid made the trouble. Not ours, yours. What do we need to do to make this go away, Jimmy? From you? I want an apology. Full apology. I want you to apologize to my wife, 'cause it's what's right, and my kid, too. He saw the whole damn thing. I apologize for what happened. To them, too. We good now, Jimmy? Yeah, all right. Go on. You've said enough. Go ahead and pump it your own self. I'll be with you in a minute. God damn, Mama's freezer. There he is. Fuck! Still ain't got this piece of shit fixed. Hey, neighbor, how you doing? Can I get that pump? I'm almost done. See, I need the goddamn pump right now. Did you hear me? - Can I help y'all out here? - No. We don't need your help. He's done. Fill up the truck, Clay. That's $12.84, sir. I wasn't done yet. I think you are. Whatever you're thinking, rethink it. "Rethink it." He wants me to rethink it. You ain't turning that back on. Oh, shit. You fucked up. Why don't we step around the side of the building so I can kick your fucking ass up over your shoulders? They from around here? I ain't never seen them. Who put you up to this? Nobody. Bring that over. Down the hatch. Yeah? Fuck. How the fuck did that happen? His fucking kid goes to my nephew's school! I don't fucking know! Yeah, I'll deal with it. God damn it! Dad? Mmm-hmm? What happened to your hands? Right there? Oh, yeah. Me and Teedo were trying to pull that rusty, old fence out of the ground, you know, the one behind the stable. Yeah. We won, though. Afternoon. Mind stepping out for a minute? You can stay in there, little girl, this won't take too long. Is there a problem, Sheriff? Well, I got a report of an altercation at the filling station. You know anything about that? Anybody pressing charges? No, nobody is pressing any charges. Then there's nothing worth talking about. What are you' son? You WITSEC, huh? You ex-military, ex-law enforcement? Ex-what? Well, if I were ex-military, Sheriff, I'd probably refer to the answer as "need to know information." Maybe some people don't need to know. Here's what you need to know, Broker. You have got my attention, son. Get that hand looked at. You're gonna leave me behind today, as usual? I think so. Making new friends at school? Yeah, I made a lot of friends. I've learned some cool stuff in science class. I don't believe that Did you know that the trees along the river, bald cypress, they can grow, like, 100 feet. That is cool. But not as cool as snakes. Snakes? Yeah. We've got moccasins' copperheads, diamondbacks. No king cobras, right? Dad' no, king cobras are like, from the far east somewhere. That's a relief. Dad? Yeah? Why did we move out here? Why? Because there's no king cobras. Come on, look around. A beautiful house, horse trails, river in our backyard. Seriously, what else could we ask for? Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi? Yeah, Wi-Fi. Anyone home? Your door is open. Neighbor calling. That was a tie. OK. Maybe. I think you got it. Do you know "grace"? She a new friend at school? The new vocab word from class. "Grace." Yeah, that's a good one. I think Mom had that Yeah, you got a good memory, Maddy. She did. The way she dressed, smiled. Everything about her. I miss Mom. Me, too. I just... I miss her so much that my stomach hurts. And I get this feeling that she worries about you. And that she wants you to be happy. Come here. Hey. If you're here, I'm happy. Come on, what else could I be? Come on, catch up. I find myself always trying to do that. Luther! Luther! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Easy, boy, easy. Easy. Dad? Dad! Have you seen Luther? Luther? No, sweetie. I don't hear his bell. I'll go look. Hey. Get back inside. You should be getting ready for bed. Don't worry, I'll find him. Off you go. Okay. Dad, you know I can't sleep without Luther. I know, but I need you to try, okay? I'll find him. And you'll find Bunny, too? Yes. I'll find them both. Hey. It'll be okay. Okay. Luther. Come here, kitty. Luther. "Phil Broker." Motherfucker! Nice hair. "For a few years now, biker gang known as "the Outcast motorcycle gang led by Danny Turrie." No! You're done! You're dead! Holy shit! Broker, Broker, Broker. Very nice to meet you, Agent Broker. Luther? Luther? Come on. Coming through! Yeah? Hey, I think I got something big for us. Big? Like what? Just get over here as soon as possible. My shift doesn't end for another three hours. Then I've got to drive from Shreveport? Gator, shit. All right, all right. Just make it first thing in the morning, okay? Everything is changing. Yeah! Remember Jojo? Jojo Turrie? Danny T's boy? Of course, I do. The kid was bat shit. He was. Until he got shot by the police 47 times. Losing your only kid like that. I hear Danny T is still pretty fucked up about it. Well, yeah. Well, they never did catch whoever snitched on Jojo and Danny T. And? 'Cause it wasn't just a snitch. It was a goddamn undercover cop. Just read. That guy Broker, he's the snitch they didn't want showing up in the courtroom. What? M.C. Dalton, that's his snitch name. A state narc is living in Rayville. Shit! Relax, relax. Do you have... I think he's just living low here with his daughter. Trust me, this is our shot. What the hell are you doing here, Broker? Turn that off. Hey! Let's skip the bullshit. Get right to it. Some small-time amateur crap, going back and forth. Know anything about it? I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Is this fucking amusing to you, Klum? You think it's fucking funny? You got your apology. Me and my little girl are gonna be left in peace. Don't escalate this any more. And Klum, I want my kid's cat back. Cat? I don't know nothing about no cat. Today. No hair out of place, you understand me? Good. A lot of things have changed since you were last here. Check it out, I got glassware, mantles, generator, exhaust system. Got it all going on. Why the fuck do we need Danny T? We're gonna give him that rat fuck narc in exchange for state-wide distribution. Yeah, but, Gator, these guys are fucking bikers. You can't trust them. You're gonna give them this guy, they're gonna turn around and they're gonna kill him. And then you got nothing. Look, this means no more small time jobs, no more sweating middlemen. All we do is cook and get paid. It's never that easy. All you have to do is learn a few lines, go and talk to Danny T's lawyer. Like hell I am. You use them. Coming back all humble. You're not asking for money. You're giving Danny this guy as a gift, as a favor. Gator, that guy is a fucking pig. Shh! Just trust me. You're gonna get the negotiation of your life. Ready for the big day tomorrow? It's just a birthday. Hey, come on, it's the 10th birthday. It's a special one. I guess. Hey, look what I found jumping around. Jumping around? Yeah, jumping around. Thanks. It's nice. I know it's not as good as the original, but I thought she might fill in until we find Bunny. Yep. You know, I was thinking, you should have a birthday party with your class. Can Miss Hetch come? She's the one who planned it. My idea, of course. Thanks, Dad. Yep. Sheryl. Sheryl Mott. Surprise, surprise, surprise. You're not a hard man to find, Werksey, old habits and all. How are you doing, Sheryl? What's up, kid? I want you to look at something. Like what? You got a new gang tattoo that you want to show me? It's a little bit more important than that. It's a gift for Danny T. You got 10 minutes. "A gift," she says. This guy killed my fucking kid. Please tell me you know where this motherfucker is. Guess what? Time to go. She does. Hey, you can finish it tonight. Okay. Take care of this for me. Miss Klum? What are you going to do now, Broker? What do you want to say? Wanna come to my party this weekend? What, Teddy? She's talking to you, hon, not me. Come on. I guess. Yeah. Cool. Come on, let's go. All right. Go on. Teddy got some blood on his shirt. Are you replacing it? Yeah, I'm replacing it. All right. I guess that does it. See you around, Miss Klum. So, I heard something interesting. Yeah? Something tells me you're gonna tell me what that is. Just that Jimmy Klum got his ass whopped. So did his kid. Fascinating. Where did you hear that? Well, you shoot enough pool, drink enough beer in town, you hear a little bit of everything, Broker. By the way, that's old news. We shook and made up. Is that what you think? Yeah. I got some new news for you. People around here don't shake and make up. It never goes away that easy. It's old-school in the feuding sense around here. Hey, someone broke into our house. Is that old-school? There it is, that's called country payback. Somebody's just trying to scare your ass out of here, is all. You'll be all right. Jimmy Klum, you mean? Fuck, no. Jimmy Klum is a bitch. Listen, I know everybody around here, and Jimmy Klum's bitch ass ain't breaking into shit. Now, his wife's brother is a whole different story. Who's his wife's brother? They call him Gator for some dumb-ass reason. Lives down by the Rayville watershed. Fronts as a boat mechanic, can't fix shit. But the word is he's cooking up that meth. Hey, if I was you, I'd be real careful around him, Broker. He ain't true, you hear me? The sheriff know about him? Know about him? Man, him and Sheriff Keith got it all figured out. You see, Gator snitches for Keith, throws him all the small fish, makes his job easy. In turn, Sheriff looks the other direction whenever Gator wants to cook. Some bullshit. Yeah, thanks for the history lesson. Listen, I grew up around these rednecks, and I think you ought to know who you're fucking with. And in case you got any interest, Gator eats breakfast nearly every day at Lions caf, just like me. Now, he don't look like much or nothing, but you remember what I told you, he ain't true. Crazy, waiting to happen. Hey, where are you? They set the meet at this fucking crayfish shack off Creek Road. You know I'm allergic to this shit, right? Just get it done, all right, Sheryl? The guy they're sending, Cyrus Hanks. Are you fucking kidding me? I know him. He's a fucking animal, Gator. He's a fucking stone-cold killer. Look, don't worry about any of that. Just make it happen. Look at you. Nice place, Cyrus. Yeah, well, let's just say I'm comfortable around fat people. They eat the way gamblers play the slots, they're fucking oblivious to everything around them. Plus, I love these fucking things. Are you hungry? No, I'm fine. Sweetheart, black coffee with a little honey. So, what's it going to take to find this rat fuck? You know where he is, yeah? Him and his kid. And to get him, you want what, exactly? I don't want anything for the narc. He's a gift. Oh, he's a gift? He's a gift. Since when does a meth whore give away gifts? I've spent the last couple of years putting together the right equipment, perfect partner, perfect location. All we need is distribution, that's the main thing we're after... You got me fucking fooled, Sheryl. 'Cause underneath this beautiful tweaker body, you're a fucking genius. Where's the narc? Do we have a deal? Where is the narc? Do we have a deal, Cyrus? Come over here. You got five seconds before I drill your fucking skull into this table and then into the floor, you understand me? Don't you fuck with me, Sheryl. All right. Where is the fucking narc? Bye! Bye. Hi. What are you doing? Cleaning. Cleaning? Yeah. It's filthy in there. Well, I'm glad you noticed. What are you doing here? I came to tell you that I dealt with Broker, the girl's father. I want you to stay away from him. Hey, you got something for me? Cassie, I'm trying to tell you something. Do not go near Broker anymore. Got it. Okay. Well, I'm not holding, so I'm sorry, I can't help you. You're not holding? Uh-huh. Well, I think that's fucking bullshit. Cassie, why don't you just clean yourself up? That's fucking bullshit! Take a fucking shower. Then what the fuck are you doing here? Eat a sandwich or something. You take a fucking shower, Gator, look at you! Cassie, just pull yourself together. I'm sick of this shit. Hey, hey, hey. Shh! Teddy is sleeping. You wake him up, it's gonna be... Don't worry. I'm not gonna make any noise, I'm leaving. No more. I'm done. No more, Cassie. Yo, Gator. How is it hanging, man? Why? Listen, man, I need a favor. A favor? Look, Jimmy, you know that I already keep your garbage business going. Man, I need you to stop giving that shit to my wife. All right? Look at her, man. She's falling to pieces. Maybe you should do a better job taking care of her. Yeah. You sleeping? Like a baby. What have you got? Gator Bodine. I sniffed around like you asked. A couple of arrests. No convictions. You want details? No, don't bother. But there is something, Broker. Sheryl Marie Mott, ex-biker groupie from Shreveport. Busted twice for smuggling dope into Angola. One of those times was to your old pal, Danny T. All of a sudden, Danny T's skank is hanging out in Rayville. Really? Send me a picture, would you? Yeah, first thing at my desk, I'll email you Mott's file. Thanks, man. So, this guy Cyrus, you know him? Yeah, I know him. Mmm-hmm. Did you fuck him? Ugh. Oh, shit. Fuck! This should be interesting. We've never been properly introduced, you and me. Is that what this is, an introduction? Yeah, that's right. Well, I won't ask your name. I personally believe your reputation is the most important thing. To some people. Yeah. Maybe it should be for you, too. You've worked up a pretty bad rep around here, beating up that poor kids father in front of him. It pissed off some of the locals. And his daughter beat up Jimmy's kid. Can you believe that? Now, what kind of parent would teach a kid to do something like that? Look, I don't want any more problems. Okay. Anything else you're thinking hard about? 'Cause I can smell the wood burning. If someone has an issue with me, keep it there. I don't want my kid involved. Involved? I'm a little lost. Well, let's get you found. See the house, the house where we're living, the house that was broken into by some pathetic coward who stole a little girl's toys, the cat, slashed a tire. See, that's my fucking house. Anyone who comes around again will find me standing in it. Okay. Well, I think you're reaching. Just connecting dots that are not there. You're on notice, Bodine. Hey, you should tell your little girl to be brave. She's got nothing to worry about with such a tough daddy around. Nice meeting you. Finish your breakfast. What the fuck were you doin', Gator? Fucker is making it personal. Yeah, well, we're on. It's happening tonight. Luther? Hello, there. Hey, boy. Put the kitty down. Get up really slow. Luther? Luther? Got you. Hey, Broker. My old fucking Broker. How you doing, man? Can you hear me? Huh? You in there? Do you hear me? Do you hear me now? Bet you do. That's the tricky thing with this rebar, especially the nine gauge. You swing it too hard, too fast, just takes your whole fucking head off, man. It's a very delicate operation. Hey, you did all right, though, Lew. Gator'd be pissed if we did something really fucking stupid. He must be pissed at you two quite a lot. That's funny. You're a funny guy, Broker. You're a really funny fucking guy. You smart-ass motherfucker. Fucking wise-ass. How do you like that, huh? Everybody had you figured for a cop, Broker. You walk like a cop, you fight like a cop, you even smell like a fucking cop. Come on. Hey, man, Gator'll be here soon. That's it... I don't give a shit! I'm calling the shots! You hear me? Hey! Can you hear me? Who's watching your fucking kid, huh? Who's watching your kid? Your girlfriend? She got a babysitter? Or is she at home all by herself, just waiting on you to come tuck her sorry-ass in and read her a bedtime story? What the fuck! You're dead! Motherfucker! When I get home, I am gonna tell my girl a bedtime story. This is how it ends. Just tell me, why are we going? Why? I owe you an apology, I know, but we don't have time to get into that. What about school? We'll send for your records in the morning. It's fine. Send for them? No, why are we going? What's wrong? Nothing's wrong. They need me back in the city. It's new business. I need to review a case. No! You said Mom wanted us to live here. That's what you said, Dad. Remember? Yeah, I did. I did. Things changed, darling. Things changed. I'm sorry, Maddy. I'm sorry. You're a liar. Gator. You must be Cyrus. Sheryl's told me a lot about you. Has she? That is sweet. Where is the fuck-up? He's about three miles south of Route 12. Rubber plantation. I can draw you a map, trail, even the inside of the house. No, I don't need a fucking map. We ain't driving, Gator. Hey, check this one out. What the fuck is this? This many people here, this a fucking party? I don't fucking know. Motherfucker just showed up with all of them. You ready to show us the way, Gator? No, I'm not going. Come again? Look, the first person they're gonna be looking for is me, so I'm not gonna be anywhere near the site. I'm gonna be in a public place. Guess you don't get to see me shoot the rat tuck in the mouth.
