Remember when we used
to play in the woods together?
I got lost that one summer.
When I turned around, you were gone.
When they found me,
I almost didn't want to come back.
Are you sure you want to do this?
I don't think...
I could go through with this...
without you.
Keith said it won't hurt.
Thanks.
Can't say we didn't try.
- # Guiding light, guiding light #
- Yeah.
Somebody's gotta get
outta here before midnight.
Yeah, you better.
Walt?
Walt!
It ate my money again.
Shit.
Shit, shit.
Another round?
# The roaring shells #
# The drifting of the leaves #
- # But all intent #
- Looks like you're celebrating.
I got promoted.
Theresa mentioned you guys
needed some extra cash.
She even begged me to pick up
some work after hours.
Great.
Okay.
# Never again to face this night #
Don't mind if I do.
# Guiding light #
Hey, Keith. Not tonight, man.
# Guide me through these nights #
You read my mind.
I didn't get a chance
to leave the house today.
You unpacked everything.
Almost.
I'll probably take a
few more days to clean...
Move things around.
They're picking up my mom's things tomorrow.
Hey, we could get our own place.
She wanted us here.
She told me.
I found the money you have hiding.
It's...
You don't need to worry about that.
I spoke with Rick.
I'll be getting paid more.
I'm not worried about you taking care of us.
I got permission to take down that old
growth that's been holding up everything.
We haven't cut something that big...
At least not since I been working there.
Longer hours, though.
Do you ever regret it?
Cutting everything down?
Sometimes.
Theresa, it's Keith.
I ran into Nick last night.
It was, uh...
Hey, when are you gonna come back to work?
It's not the same without you.
I was...
...I was really fucked up.
Some fucking idiot put a ton of money into
the machine just before me...
I tried calling you.
Did you hear me?
Hey. Theresa?
# We're in the building
where they make us grow #
- Hey, Keith.
- Hey, man.
# Like you #
Let me know if I can help you, all right?
What is this, can I have these?
This is the home brew. It's magical.
Nice.
You okay?
# Like you #
- Want to smell that?
- Yeah, sure.
Please don't touch it.
Yeah.
All right. I gotta see your card.
# Plug me in and turn me on #
# Oh, everything is moving #
It's kind of weird, but...
Sometimes you look like your mom.
- Hey, man.
- Hey, Ed.
How are things?
Ah, getting lots done.
Pretty.
Thanks.
You know, this used to be a flower shop.
Yeah?
My wife bought the flowers
for our wedding here.
Oh.
It's gonna be fine, man.
Ed...
it won't hurt.
It won't hurt.
Can't hurt any more than it already does.
So, whether I'm ready or not,
it's gotta happen now.
Okay.
How's Theresa?
I haven't seen her since her mom passed.
Oh, she's fine.
She's just, you know, Theresa.
She's gonna come by later.
- Take it easy, man.
- All right.
No free joint?
- Not tonight, man.
- All right, all right.
You know what, Ed?
Don't smoke it.
You're a smart-ass, but I love you.
Hello?
It's a little late in the day
to show up for work.
Yeah.
Well, I'm here now, aren't I?
Yeah, it's cool.
Hey, you want to come by Mike's tonight?
Lighten the mood a little?
Mike's?
I didn't know he was back.
Come on. Please.
Come on.
I don't know, I...
I don't know if it's such a good idea.
You're not seriously gonna let
me have all the fun, are you?
So you can go back to your mom's house alone?
Come on.
Everyone would be so excited to see you.
Baby steps?
It's gonna be fun.
What's up, ladies?
Hey.
- Hey, Keith.
- Hey, man.
- Good. Where's the kids?
- Inside.
Kids?
It's Uncle Keith!
Boys?
You gotta make me rich!
Rar! Come outside!
- Rar!
- Yes! Yes!
- Are you gonna make us rich today?
- Yes!
- You know the game, right?
- Yes!
You got 30 seconds?
One, two...
Oh, where'd it go?
Where's the money?
It's here!
I'm gonna have some kids one day.
But first I need to find a lady.
Good luck with that.
- Hi.
- Johnny?
Keith.
Oh, what's up, baby?
- You good?
- Yeah.
You want a drink or something?
Yeah. What have you got here?
- Got some glasses?
- Yeah, just, uh...
- Theresa, you want some?
- No.
What do you want? Whiskey?
You want some whiskey?
- I want to have some. Do you?
- Yeah.
- Dude.
- Awesome.
So what happened?
Um, wait.
Just...
What? Huh?
- You're fucked up.
- Yeah.
You're fucked up.
Whoa, look at that view.
Ladies.
You know, I'm...
I'm really sorry about your mom.
Keith told me what happened.
Have you been with any of them?
Yeah, some of them.
But, uh, not... not really.
Do you like any of them?
No.
Johnny?
Yeah?
You wanna come down and light some candles?
Uh, no, I'm all right, man.
They're birthday candles. Theresa?
Have your own birthday.
All right. Okay.
My birthday. That's cool.
Thanks, Keith.
You're welcome.
Make a wish.
We can do it together.
Oh.
I got two girls who want
to suck our cocks, man.
- Come on. Seriously.
- Oh...
- Look. Maybe two and a half.
- Yeah.
- Maybe you want to take two.
- Go for it.
Sounds good, man.
Come on!
You need a little cock-sucking.
All right. All right.
I missed you.
I'm sure you survived just fine.
Listen, um,
I know this is not great timing.
But, uh, Ed came in today.
How is he?
He's sick.
He needs us.
He asked about you, and I was just...
I, um...
Do you think you can
go through with it again?
Hey.
Hey, Johnny.
Uh, that was fun the other night.
Here you go.
Thanks.
When did, uh, Keith get the roses?
I don't know.
Are you coming out again this weekend?
I don't know. Nick doesn't like
to go out too much, so...
All right.
There'll be, uh...
probably be another one, I'm sure.
All right. Thanks.
I sent you some artwork last week.
Did you get it?
Yes.
I will...
see you... around.
Hey, man, I'm not home. See you in the shop.
Hmm.
Hmm?
Hmm?
Mm-mm.
Goddamn it.
How was your day?
Fine.
There's nothing in the fridge.
Johnny?
Yeah.
Okay.
Fifteens...
Wow.
Twenty-two, man. You lost again.
Just a royal... fucking...
- Blackjack.
- Blackjack.
Twenty-one!
Oh!
No, but like, you can't beat all of these.
I just did! I just did!
I'm the bank!
- Yeah, but...
- Twenty-one.
Okay, but how many times did I...
- Doesn't mean... It doesn't mean shit, man.
- Before you...
Because I got 21. I got 21.
You got 21, but it wasn't my 21.
That's cool, but it's not enough.
Okay, no. We need to shuffle this deck.
How did things roll with Ed?
Fine.
I was...
Listen, I understand.
I... I get you don't want to talk about it.
I don't want to talk about it.
How long have we known each other, Keith?
Depends.
You know what I mean.
Fair enough. I'll leave that alone.
Yeah?
Something's wrong with this.
Theresa?
There's something wrong with this.
I don't know what happened.
Johnny's dead.
Johnny died, and...
I just don't know how...
Keith, I...
I...
I'm sorry. I...
None of that means shit now, so...
Just tell me what you did.
What do you mean, what did I do?
What do I mean?
First Ed, now Johnny. They...
They both came in that day.
Both of them came into the shop the same day.
It's not a fucking coincidence.
I...
Your alarm went off.
You went to work. Then what?
What happened?
I didn't do anything.
Just think!
Could you just think for one fucking second
and tell me what the fuck you did?
Jesus, Theresa,
just tell me the fucking truth!
Fuck you! I didn't do anything!
But something happened!
What do you want me to say?
You understand that we...
we can't tell anyone anything, ever, right?
Right?
Everyone knows that Johnny
was into all sorts of shit.
You know that.
Promise me.
Yeah.
Where were you?
Nowhere.
I couldn't sleep.
Were you with someone?
It's not about that.
What's it about?
Ugh!
Here you go.
Theresa?
Theresa, wake up.
I can't sleep in this house.
I used to love this flower.
You're gonna have to take
better care of yourself.
Ugh!
What did you do?
You think I did this?
Look at you.
Look at what you did out there.
I'm not cleaning it up for you.
Nick?
I wish. You two have a fight?
What do you want?
Go to Perry's, all right?
I could use some company.
I can't leave right now.
I'm not going anywhere.
What did you do, Theresa?
What did you do?
Theresa?
I need to tell you something.
I killed Johnny...
instead of you.
What do you mean... instead of me?
Did he ask you?
No.
You killed him?
Ed?
Ed?
Ed? Ed?
You need to tell me where you've been.
- Theresa, you...
- Don't touch me!
- You make me sick!
- What?
- Theresa, come here. Theresa, come here.
- Get out! Get out!
- Come on.
- Get out of here!
I don't want to hurt you.
Shit, Theresa. Come in.
Do you want some water?
Feel better?
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
Now sit.
Has Nick seen you like this?
Don't call him.
What happened?
Nothing.
Hey...
it looks like more than nothing.
You told him.
You fucking told him.
Why can't you say it?
Why can't you say it?
We helped kill her! We killed her!
Why? Why?
And what? And what, huh?
What do you want me to say?
That it's my fault?
Is that it?
That it's my fault?
Okay.
Don't.
Don't! Don't!
Stay! Stay!
We'll figure it out, all right?
Don't call him.
- Don't call him.
- Stop it.
Put it down. Please?
Theresa?
