00:00:00As a kid, it baffled me how God could know so much.
00:00:17Not only past and present, but the future as well.
00:00:24Sunday evenings, my dad read to us from his Bible.
00:00:27The stories were beautiful, austere, terrifying.
00:00:36And one loomed over all others.
00:00:39The story of Abraham.
00:00:42God sends a man to slaughter his own son.
00:00:48Only to stop him perilously close to the act.
00:00:52To reveal it's all been a ruse.
00:00:54Didi, it's me.
00:00:56To me, that story was and always will be not Abraham's story, but Isaac's.
00:01:04This boy must grow with the image of his own father, poised above him, without it ever explained why he's the victim.
00:01:14You gonna be all right in there?
00:01:15I always knew I would devote my life to clarity.
00:01:22I would save the world's uncomprehending victims.
00:01:26What I never knew is that when dealing with matters of life and death, as policemen inevitably do,
00:01:38there's no way around the question of God.
00:01:41In fact, there are moments when there's nothing else to be thought of to say but why.
00:01:52And like Isaac found, there's only silence in response.
00:01:57Lonely.
00:02:05Indeterminate silence.
00:02:08Hey, you all right?
00:02:12Hey, stop walking.
00:02:14I said stop.
00:02:15We called an ambulance.
00:02:19Be out here real quick.
00:02:22Is that your blood on you?
00:02:25Dammit, answer me.
00:02:28Hey!
00:02:29I need to see your hands in the air slowly.
00:02:32Do it now.
00:02:33There's two of us back here.
00:02:35Plan, let me know there's two of us.
00:02:37Hello.
00:02:38Okay, you heard that.
00:02:39Let's bring up your hands.
00:02:41He's on up around.
00:02:45All right, kid.
00:02:45My partner's coming around to get a better look at you.
00:02:52Tommy?
00:02:53Les, it's Tommy Spencer.
00:02:56Is it his blood?
00:02:58Well, he better hope not.
00:03:02Okay, Tommy.
00:03:04I just need you to please turn around for me.
00:03:06Okay, Tommy?
00:03:07We ain't gonna hurt you.
00:03:09Just please turn around.
00:03:12Tommy?
00:03:13Uh, just hold still.
00:03:29Okay, Tommy?
00:03:30We're gonna figure all this out.
00:03:34Okay?
00:03:34Just, uh, just hold still.
00:03:37Seen a lot of trouble
00:03:50At my door
00:03:53I've never known a day when
00:03:58I ain't been poor
00:04:00But I'm gonna live
00:04:02But I'm gonna live
00:04:02With Jesus
00:04:05In the air
00:04:09Mm-hmm
00:04:12Mm-hmm
00:04:13When I'm gonna live
00:04:19With Jesus
00:04:19Mm-hmm

00:04:30That are dear to me
00:04:30But I'm gonna live
00:04:31With Jesus
00:04:32With Jesus in the end
00:04:38I'm gonna live
00:04:45I'm gonna live
00:04:48I'm gonna live
00:04:52With Jesus in the end
00:04:56These poor bones
00:05:01Tired and old
00:05:04Meeting my Savior
00:05:08Redeemed my soul
00:05:11I'm gonna live
00:05:13With Jesus
00:05:17I'm gonna live
00:05:21With Jesus
00:05:24I'm gonna live
00:05:28With Jesus
00:05:31In the end
00:05:34This story has many beginnings
00:05:50We go back six months
00:05:54To the front end of spring
00:05:56Here you go
00:05:58I think there's gonna be two of us
00:06:00I bet you know the menu
00:06:01Nothing doing at the vans
00:06:04I'm off this morning
00:06:05I sure like your ribbon
00:06:07It's yellow
00:06:08It's yellow
00:06:08I can see that
00:06:09No like in the song
00:06:11Tie a yellow ribbon
00:06:12Oh wait
00:06:13It's Tony Orlando and Dawn
00:06:15It was my favorite growing up
00:06:17You don't mean it
00:06:18My man got out from McAllister yesterday
00:06:21He's meeting me here
00:06:22Well why didn't you go down there and see him right when he was released
00:06:25He thought it'd be better this way
00:06:27I waited up here
00:06:29All by yourself while he travels half the state
00:06:31Yes
00:06:32Bless your heart
00:06:34Does this man love you?
00:06:38I don't know
00:06:39What do you mean you don't know?
00:06:41I think it's him
00:06:42You think?
00:06:43We never met before
00:06:44Should I point you out?
00:06:45He knows I'm wearing this ribbon
00:06:47I'll just scoot out of your way
00:06:49You Ainsley?
00:07:01Yes
00:07:01Weren't you gonna look up at me?
00:07:12No do
00:07:13No I can't do this
00:07:17What?
00:07:20Hey
00:07:20Hey
00:07:24Now how am I gonna feel you run off on me so quick?
00:07:28I need you to give this a chance
00:07:30You leave now it'll be the end of me
00:07:33Now come on back inside
00:07:35Please
00:07:36I'm begging you
00:07:37What?
00:07:43I ain't had you on my mind every day for six months for you to scare me so quick

00:08:02This menu for me?
00:08:06Yes
00:08:07I can't get used to all this
00:08:13What's the weirdest thing about me being out?
00:08:17Choices
00:08:17You know
00:08:19We got choices in life
00:08:22I think one of the things prison's about is
00:08:25It's taking choices away from folks ain't capable of making the right ones
00:08:29I ain't looked at it that way
00:08:31I reckon you ain't had to
00:08:34So this here is Kingfisher
00:08:39It's just like you said
00:08:42Quiet and friendly
00:08:43Lots of oil pumps
00:08:45Lots of oil pumps
00:08:46Different than McAllister
00:08:50There's no oil pumps in McAllister
00:08:53I still wish I could have seen it
00:08:56No you don't

00:11:18So you found religion too?
00:11:25Yes sir
00:11:26Well it's neither one way or the other with me
00:11:28Religion
00:11:29If Christ died for my sins
00:11:32I sure as hell ain't seen any of the benefits
00:11:33But you get satisfaction praying so be it
00:11:37Yes sir
00:11:38So why Kingfisher?
00:11:41There's a girl up here
00:11:42You knew her before you went in?
00:11:46I met through a magazine
00:11:48You see her yet?
00:11:50Oh
00:11:50This morning
00:11:51Well sort of a blind date
00:11:53I guess
00:11:55My wife and I met on a blind date
00:11:57You know getting involved real quick after doing time
00:12:00Can be a very serious thing
00:12:01I know
00:12:02Particularly with your kind of background
00:12:04I know that
00:12:05What's your name?
00:12:08Ainsley
00:12:08Ainsley
00:12:11Ainsley
00:12:12Ainsley Dupree
00:12:13Works over at the Reds
00:12:16That's right
00:12:17Hell I used to work with her daddy
00:12:19Really?
00:12:21He was foreman at the pipe yard during the boom
00:12:23She told you how he died?
00:12:25No actually
00:12:26When the yard closed down
00:12:28He'd become a tool pusher
00:12:29He got caught in a rig fire
00:12:31Dennis?
00:12:32We need more of these
00:12:34In a minute
00:12:35Burned alive along with three other guys
00:12:37She ain't said a thing about it
00:12:39He was a son of a bitch to work for
00:12:42Hard as nails
00:12:43Real religious too
00:12:44It might interest you
00:12:45See that was the joke
00:12:47He talked about hell so much
00:12:50He went that way
00:12:51You know fire?
00:12:55I get it
00:12:57She seemed alright though
00:13:00Homespun

00:17:59What is it?
00:18:05I got a little Tommy Spencer
00:18:07Is he all right?
00:18:12Is he ever?
00:18:13What do you want me to do?
00:18:43Ain't nobody know what to do.
00:18:45Tommy?
00:18:51Tommy?
00:18:53He ain't spoke since we found him.
00:18:55Ain't even a scratch on him?
00:18:57Not a what?
00:18:59This blood being checked.
00:19:01It's at the hospital.
00:19:03It's human. They don't know the type yet.
00:19:05We cleaned him up pretty good short of a shower.
00:19:07Go give him a call. Hurry up.
00:19:09Who?
00:19:11The hospital, see what else they got to say.
00:19:13You want us to call Dorothy?
00:19:15No, I'll do that. Go on, kid.
00:19:19Go to you and see.
00:19:31Tom?
00:19:35You recognize me?
00:19:39Tom?
00:19:41How's your aunt? She doing all right?
00:19:51Tom?
00:19:59Can you talk with me?
00:20:01Tom?
00:20:03You got this old building in the store, you know that?
00:20:11Tom, do you understand me?
00:20:13Do you hear me?
00:20:17Just nod your head if you hear me.
00:20:19Just nod your head.
00:20:21Tom, do you hear me?
00:20:25Good.
00:20:27Good.
00:20:31That's all you gotta do.
00:20:35Now, whatever you've seen tonight, wherever you've been, it's over.
00:20:41But we can't figure out where all this blood comes from, and if the person is still alive, maybe we can help them.
00:20:49Tom, you understand?
00:20:51Who is you with tonight?
00:20:53Where were you?
00:20:57Can you take us there?
00:20:59Can you take us there?
00:21:01Tom?
00:21:03Can you take us to where you were?
00:21:05You can take us there.
00:21:11Good boy, Tom.
00:21:13Good boy.
00:21:16Good boy, Tom.
00:21:19Good boy.
00:21:23Les.
00:21:26Okay, you and Bobby got the left shoulder.
00:21:28Get it, Bobby?
00:21:34He didn't want to call the state?
00:21:35Nope.
00:21:36I'm sick of feeling sorry for this kid.
00:21:37What's that supposed to mean?
00:21:38I mean, why ain't we calling the state? The kid's half crazy.
00:21:41Sam's got his reasons.
00:21:42Yeah? What are they?
00:21:43Glenn, what do you want from me?
00:22:03Tom, what do you got there?
00:22:06Tom?
00:22:09Tom?
00:22:13God damn it.
00:22:14Somebody help me.
00:22:17Tommy.
00:22:18It's all right now.
00:22:19Easy, Tom.
00:22:20Let it go, Tom.
00:22:21Easy, Tom.
00:22:22Easy, Tom.
00:22:23Okay.
00:22:29Easy, Tom.
00:22:32Easy, Tom.
00:22:33It's okay, Tom.
00:22:34Oh, damn.
00:22:35It's all right.
00:22:36It's all right.
00:22:37It's all right.
00:22:38It's all right.
00:22:40Les.
00:22:41You get him back the car and have a doctor meet us at the station.
00:22:45What is it?
00:22:46God damn it, can't you do a single thing I ask without pester me with questions?
00:22:58All right, this is it.
00:23:00You boys mark off this whole area.
00:23:02It's out here in the water.
00:23:03What is it?
00:23:08What do you got?
00:23:11Jeff!
00:23:14Jeff!
00:23:16Come on.
00:23:17Give us a hand over here.
00:23:18You know, you don't marry me after spending all my time in the house.
00:23:25No, Jack.
00:23:27Hey, look out there.
00:23:28Ain't this beautiful?
00:23:31Yes.
00:23:34I'll thank you easily.
00:23:36Let's get out.
00:23:37I spent a lot of time as a child on this lake.
00:23:50Know what else?
00:23:52What?
00:23:53My mama swears I was conceived out here.
00:23:55What?
00:23:56I heard my daddy used to come up here on weekends.
00:23:59One time in their senior year it happened.
00:24:04What do you mean?
00:24:05I got married to have me proper.
00:24:08I think that's where birth happens, not in some hospital.
00:24:11Yeah.
00:24:12I was born right here.
00:24:20My parole officer told me how your daddy died.
00:24:23I did?
00:24:25Why you never mentioned it?
00:24:27Me and my daddy never got along too good.
00:24:36I met the preacher today.
00:24:38The preacher?
00:24:40A preacher.
00:24:43He seemed real eager to help me out.
00:24:45Good.
00:24:47You don't go to church?
00:24:49You never wrote about it in your letters?
00:24:50No.
00:24:52What else did your parole officer say?
00:24:56He says it ain't gonna be easy me finding work.
00:25:00He says lots of folks is moving away.
00:25:03But I'll find something.
00:25:05I promise Ainsley.
00:25:07Jack, I know you will.
00:25:12Jack?
00:25:13Yes.
00:25:14Will you tell me why you was in prison?
00:25:24We've been on with that Ainsley.
00:25:28But that was the letters.
00:25:30You afraid I won't love you?
00:25:33I love you.
00:25:36As far as you and me concerned.
00:25:39I ain't never been to prison.
00:25:42If you hadn't been to prison, we'd have never met.
00:25:46I reckon not.
00:25:52So?
00:25:56Can I kiss you now?
00:25:59Yes.
00:26:00Here I come.
00:26:04I'm cold.
00:26:18How was that?
00:26:20It was tender.
00:26:22I ain't done that in a long time.
00:26:25Wanna do it again?
00:26:27I do.
00:26:30What's your favorite part of me?
00:26:34I don't know.
00:26:36Tell me.
00:26:37And I'll tell you.
00:26:41Your chest.
00:26:43What's your favorite part of me?
00:26:46I don't know.
00:26:48Tell me.
00:26:50And I'll tell you.
00:26:51I'll tell you.
00:26:58Your chest.
00:27:10Your most beautiful part's your eyes.
00:27:13My parole officer said so.
00:27:15Have you seen you over at the Reds?
00:27:17Mm-hmm.
00:27:19What?
00:27:26There's something I ain't told you in the letters.
00:27:31What?
00:27:32One of them's glass.
00:27:35One of them's glass.
00:27:39One of your eyes?
00:27:41Mm-hmm.
00:27:43Which?
00:27:45This one.
00:27:47Why?
00:27:49It got cut out when I was 12.
00:27:51Me and one of my friends was playing with an electric knife.
00:27:54It don't look glass at all.
00:27:57It ain't supposed to.
00:28:01For near two years I wore a patch,
00:28:04because my daddy said if God wanted an eye in there,
00:28:08he wouldn't let the real one get cut out.
00:28:12You wore a patch and didn't have nothing in there?
00:28:16What changes Matt?
00:28:19When he died.
00:28:22My mama said I'm tired of looking at you like that.
00:28:26So she carried me down to Oklahoma City and got me one of these.
00:28:32It's the only time I've ever been there.
00:28:37I'm gonna take care of you.
00:28:40No.
00:28:42Hello.
00:28:46Angely?
00:28:48Yes.
00:29:01Will you marry me?
00:29:03Oh, my God.
00:29:05I know it's great.
00:29:06You don't got answer now.
00:29:07No, Jack, I will.
00:29:09I will marry you.
00:29:15I want us to have children, Angely.
00:29:17A family.
00:29:18Yes.
00:29:19I owe the Lord for setting me free.
00:29:20Oh, Jack.
00:29:21I owe him.
00:29:24It's the most important thing, children.
00:29:27Yes.
00:29:32Children.
00:29:33You all give us some room now.
00:29:36Everybody out but less.
00:29:40I'll get the tape on.
00:29:41No, that ain't necessary.
00:29:43But, we...
00:29:44Get a notebook.
00:29:46He's scared enough already without his every move being sucked up by a video camera.
00:29:55Hey, kiddo.
00:29:57Doctor says you're gonna...
00:29:59You all right.
00:30:03You're safe here, you know that.
00:30:06Tom?
00:30:08You know you're safe?
00:30:12Now, Tom.
00:30:14I gotta ask you something.
00:30:16You just nod yes or no, but I gotta ask you.
00:30:22Did you do that to this person?
00:30:25All right.
00:30:26All right.
00:30:27I know you didn't.
00:30:30Did you see it happen?
00:30:35Did you know that...
00:30:37Huh?
00:30:38All right.
00:30:39All right.
00:30:41So, the first time you met was tonight.
00:30:48Now, what about the person done it?
00:30:50Did you know him?
00:30:54Was it a man?
00:30:57And you didn't know him?
00:31:01Had you ever seen him before?
00:31:02Did...
00:31:03All right.
00:31:04All right.
00:31:05That's all right, Tom.
00:31:06Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:31:08It's all right, Tom.
00:31:09That's fine for now.
00:31:11That's just fine.
00:31:12Get the mug books and someone get his aunt on the phone.
00:31:16Now, we're just gonna bring some books in here, and then this'll all be over.
00:31:18You done good.
00:31:20We're gonna figure all this out.
00:31:24You done good.
00:31:26Here it is.
00:31:28Here's the kitchen.
00:31:30I got a microwave.
00:31:32You done good.
00:31:34There it is.
00:31:36You done good.
00:31:38Here it is.
00:31:40Here's the kitchen.
00:31:43I got a microwave.
00:31:44And, uh, four burners.
00:31:46Plus this toaster oven.
00:31:48Down here's the real oven.
00:31:50Up here's all the dishes.
00:31:53Yeah.
00:31:55You keep a clean house.
00:31:57And, uh, through here's the bedroom.
00:31:59Well, now, uh...
00:32:01Tonight I might ought to stay on the sofa.
00:32:03Yeah.
00:32:05And, uh...
00:32:07Through here's the bedroom.
00:32:09Well, now, uh...
00:32:11Tonight I might ought to stay on the sofa.
00:32:14Tag.
00:32:16Ainsley.
00:32:17Keep away.
00:32:21Ainsley.
00:32:23Ainsley.
00:32:25All right now.
00:32:27All right.
00:32:29No, no, no.
00:32:30That's it.
00:32:31No more.
00:32:32You sure is aggressive if somebody ain't made love ever.
00:32:33That's why I'm aggressive.
00:32:34Listen, I've been locked up for three years. I feel that way too.
00:32:51But what happens between a man and a woman is sacred.
00:32:56It can't be took lightly.
00:32:59All right.
00:33:02You gotta do everything proper.
00:33:08Everything.
00:33:09Everything.
00:33:28Where are you going?
00:33:30Out and around.
00:33:31I don't know.
00:33:32Taking Jimmy's car?
00:33:34Yeah.
00:33:35Wouldn't he say him and his daddy coming home?
00:33:39He didn't say.
00:33:41Tom, where do you go when you go off five and you're 14 years old?
00:33:46Will you answer me please?
00:33:47You think it makes me happy around here having another kid to take care of?
00:33:54What do you want me to do?
00:33:57Talk with me sometimes.
00:33:59I got no one to talk with.
00:34:00My sister's gone.
00:34:01I don't never see my husband.
00:34:05Stay home tonight.
00:34:07Chips is on the cable and Knight Rider.
00:34:08You like in cars so much.
00:34:10Huh?
00:34:12Yeah.
00:34:13I'd rather go out.
00:34:15I'll go with you.
00:34:17Mom.
00:34:19Then you're grounded.
00:34:20How's that?
00:34:22I'll microwave us some popcorn and we'll look at the cable.
00:34:25I'm leaving now.
00:34:27Tom, I said we're spending the evening together and I meant it.
00:34:31Boy, mind me.
00:34:33I mean it.
00:34:35I said mind me.
00:34:37I mean it.
00:34:39I said mind me.
00:34:40Come back in this house right now or don't come back at all.
00:34:45Come back in right now or don't come back at all, Tom.
00:34:53Tom!
00:34:58Tom!
00:35:01Answer the phone, Will.
00:35:07Hello?
00:35:08Hello, Will.
00:35:09Sorry about the hour.
00:35:11It's all right.
00:35:13How is it with the wife?
00:35:15Oh, same.
00:35:17Well, you all sorted out.
00:35:19Listen, do you mind coming down to the station?
00:35:22What's up?
00:35:24Well, it's a little complicated.
00:35:27We got a body, Will.
00:35:29And, uh, looks like Claire Spencer's boy got wrapped up in it somehow.
00:35:34Will?
00:35:37Will?
00:35:40I'll be right there.
00:35:41I'll be right there.
00:36:02Hey.
00:36:04Okay.
00:36:06What?
00:36:08Where you been?
00:36:09I was worried crazy.
00:36:13I got a job.
00:36:18They let me look for...
00:36:20Hill.
00:36:22Yeah, home for the night.
00:36:24Alrighty, goodbye.
00:36:26Where?
00:36:28We both work on the highway now.
00:36:31Doing what?
00:36:33Oh, mechanic.
00:36:35I worked all day.
00:36:37I changed the transmission, we built two alternators.
00:36:40One of them was a Honda.
00:36:42That's great, Jack.
00:36:44Are you all right?
00:36:46Red's is closing down.
00:36:48What?
00:36:49Red's don't close down.
00:36:50They do if nobody's buying burgers.
00:36:55It may take a while, but I'll find something else.
00:36:58Me and Janet's gonna start looking this weekend.
00:37:00What?
00:37:03Why?
00:37:05You know, I just said I got a job.
00:37:08We'll be fine.
00:37:12No, Jack, I started my period today.
00:37:15Well, you don't gotta say it outright like that.
00:37:18I'm sorry. It's a natural thing.
00:37:24I told the preacher to bring your church in some day.
00:37:28Why you told him that?
00:37:30Why did I keep asking about you?
00:37:33I ain't been since I was 14.
00:37:36Ainsley.
00:37:38I want a Christian home.
00:37:40It can be just as Christian as you like.
00:37:42I just don't want to go to church.
00:37:46Ainsley.
00:37:49Things are going so good, me getting this job and everything.
00:37:52Going to church is the only time I can leave here except for work now.
00:37:58I want you with me.
00:38:05All right.
00:38:07Is it?
00:38:09Yes.
00:38:10I love you.
00:38:13I love you.
00:38:25Hey, Tommy.
00:38:30New shoes?
00:38:31I love you.
00:38:32I love you.
00:38:34I love you.
00:38:36I love you.
00:38:38So, they just hand me down.
00:38:40Your cousin?
00:38:42Yeah.
00:38:43Listen to me.
00:38:44Who else, right?
00:38:45You out in the car?
00:38:47Oh, you all alone?
00:38:49Yep.
00:38:51Hey, how's your aunt?
00:38:53Fine.
00:38:54She's worried about you.
00:38:56She said you ain't gonna come to church lately.
00:38:59No.
00:39:00You come to our church, I'd bring you.
00:39:03Oh.
00:39:04I don't think so.
00:39:05Lord, help us.
00:39:10Is this gonna be all for you?
00:39:11Yeah.
00:39:12You want some beef jerky?
00:39:13How about a couple job records?
00:39:15Let me show you this.
00:39:21What do you think?
00:39:26Well...
00:39:28Nothing else for you then?
00:39:29No.
00:39:32Slush puppy?
00:39:33Cooley?
00:39:35Slim Jim?
00:39:38You okay?
00:39:44Who's that lady?
00:39:59Is she going to church with you?
00:40:09Sunday be the third week.
00:40:14So married life's alright?
00:40:16Couldn't be better.
00:40:20I wish I could say the same.
00:40:24I'm sorry.
00:40:26There's strange times in these parts.
00:40:30They say ain't been this kind of migration out since the Dust Bowl.
00:40:35Yeah, most everyone we service at the station's passing through.
00:40:38Don't live here.
00:40:41Sometimes I think the reason she want a kid so bad is to have something to do with her time.
00:40:45You know?
00:40:48That's mighty tragic.
00:40:50Not that I don't want a child, hell.
00:40:52I'd love a son.
00:40:55You and Ainsley want a family?
00:40:57Ain't nothing more important to me.
00:40:59Alright, I reckon that's right.
00:41:00I just...
00:41:03You're a lucky man to have a second chance.
00:41:06I know that.
00:41:08I think me and her are going to get a separation over this.
00:41:11That's awful.
00:41:13You ain't kidding.
00:41:15That's all we talk about anymore.
00:41:17I'm tired of taking the blame.
00:41:18I'm sick of playing defense, you know?
00:41:21Yeah.
00:41:25It's...
00:41:27I want to hear this.
00:41:32This stuff.
00:41:33Oh, say.
00:41:35I may be doing that spot check on you here in the next couple of weeks.
00:41:39You keep saying that.
00:41:40Well, it'll happen.
00:41:41I'm hoping to get your wife to borrow me up a burger.
00:41:44Over them closing down Reds.
00:41:46Okay.
00:41:48Can you believe that?
00:41:49Even Reds went and turned his back on us.
00:41:56Oh.
00:42:01You know what I think making love is?
00:42:03What?
00:42:05It's prayer.
00:42:07You make love proper.
00:42:10Prayer floats up away from it.
00:42:11There's no prayer more beautiful to God than what we've just done.
00:42:17Believe that?
00:42:20I believe I've never been happier than right now.
00:42:26I get restless around the house.
00:42:28Without work.
00:42:31I miss you.
00:42:33But you come home and hold me.
00:42:37Let me make love.
00:42:38You cradle me like you do.
00:42:44I feel like there's nothing left in this world I could possibly want.
00:42:48I'm going to feel your touch.
00:42:54Jake.
00:43:00Can I tell you something?
00:43:03Yes.
00:43:09Awesome.
00:43:13I don't think I'm leaving God.
00:43:16That's all right.
00:43:18It is?
00:43:20Just ain't found him yet.
00:43:23He's in your life.
00:43:26Just can't see him.
00:43:28Don't nobody see God.
00:43:30But we see what he do.
00:43:32That's what faith is.
00:43:34How do I get faith?
00:43:39Just gotta let go.
00:43:44But Ainsley.
00:43:48You got goodness in it.
00:43:50Whether you believe in it or not.
00:43:51You're just close to God as near anyone I met.
00:43:57I love you.
00:44:01I mean that.
00:44:03For an angel like you.
00:44:06He's there.
00:44:08I hope so.
00:44:09Make it up with me, can he?
00:44:11All the blood's off him.
00:44:13When he still ain't spoke a word.
00:44:15He's locked himself in his room.
00:44:17When do you have to go to work?
00:44:19Got the day off.
00:44:20My husband called a while ago.
00:44:22Him and Jimmy's gonna be at the yard all day.
00:44:24You reckon if this child had a man figure around for one day of his life, he'd be so odd and in trouble with the law all the time?
00:44:27He ain't in trouble with the law.
00:44:29You know how many times he's been picked up on the highway by y'all for riding that car their age?
00:44:33And them patrolmen let it go out of pity for him.
00:44:34You think a car would be the last thing he'd want to get in.
00:44:37I mean can you explain that one?
00:44:39A car?
00:44:41I'd like to send one of my men around and throw a photograph of it.
00:44:43What kind of photograph?
00:44:45A photograph?
00:44:46If this child had a man figure around for one day of his life, he'd be so odd and in trouble with the law all the time.
00:44:49He ain't in trouble with the law.
00:44:51You know how many times he's been picked up on the highway by y'all for riding that car their age?
00:44:54And them patrolmen let it go out of pity for him.
00:44:57You'd think a car would be the last thing he'd want to get in.
00:45:01I mean can you explain that one?
00:45:03A car?
00:45:05We ain't took none recently.
00:45:08Oh I got some his mama had.
00:45:11Well that'd be fine.
00:45:13As recent as possible though.
00:45:15Assembly be right over.
00:45:17Okay.
00:45:19Bye.
00:45:22Oh you never seen her?
00:45:24No.
00:45:27Her name's Ainsley.
00:45:29Report of the Reds.
00:45:31She's married to an ex-con up from Macalester.
00:45:35He wears a beeper in his legs so the police will always know where he's at.
00:45:40I used to always see her in here.
00:45:43I ain't seen her lately.
00:45:45What's she doing?
00:45:49What's she look like she's doing?
00:45:51Set.
00:45:53Oklahoma City bus dropped her off about an hour ago.
00:45:56Stop staring.
00:45:57She'll call you over.
00:45:59So?
00:46:01He and I just told you her husband's an ex-con.
00:46:04I'm so sad.
00:46:06I'm telling you stay away.
00:46:08She's a target.
00:46:10Why do you keep looking at me?
00:46:12Too late.
00:46:14I don't know.
00:46:18Over here.
00:46:22Don't be afraid.
00:46:24Angel, this kid ain't looking for no trouble.
00:46:26Come on.
00:46:27A closed circuit TV signal that takes what happens here in Denver and sends it all the way back to a courtroom in Oklahoma City appears to be on the way to reality.
00:46:42A couple of the obstacles that...
00:46:44...come include figuring out technically how to make the closed circuit signal secure and figuring out...
00:46:50Yeah.
00:46:52R.J. says he's been...
00:46:55...seeing you over at the Total on his lunch hour.
00:46:58Yeah, I guess so.
00:47:01He says we sit and talk to folks.
00:47:05I get lonely, Jack.
00:47:06I got nothing to do all day.
00:47:12So you hang out at the Total?
00:47:15I've been going there since I was old enough to drive.
00:47:21What do you say to folks?
00:47:25Is there a problem?
00:47:28No, no problem.
00:47:30Just...
00:47:32What do you say to folks?
00:47:35Ask them where they're going or something, I don't know.
00:47:39Just small talk.
00:47:41I miss people.
00:47:47Any news?
00:47:48Jack, you ask me every day.
00:47:53I want to know, don't I?
00:47:54Christ, I've only been married five months.
00:47:57Don't say that word like that.
00:47:58What word?
00:47:59You know what word.
00:48:00Christ?
00:48:01Yes.
00:48:02Fine.
00:48:18I'm sorry.
00:48:19No, I am.
00:48:20I just want a family.
00:48:21I want that for us.
00:48:22So do I.

00:48:26That's all I want.
00:48:27I'm sorry.
00:48:28I don't know.
00:48:29I'm sorry.

00:48:42Mm-hmm.

00:48:59Yes.
00:49:04Listen to me.
00:49:05Mm-hmm.
00:49:07I don't want you to leave this house unless I know where you're going and why.
00:49:12What?
00:49:13I mean, I want you here.
00:49:16I am here.
00:49:17I want you here.
00:49:20I don't want to be wondering where you are.
00:49:22Jack.
00:49:23Ainsley, no.
00:49:28I want a proper home.
00:49:30A home God want to give a family to.
00:49:34I'll leave here whenever I like.
00:49:36You sure want them.
00:49:40What you gonna do to me?
00:49:41I do leave.
00:49:42I'll bolt these doors.
00:49:44I mean it.
00:49:45I could do that.
00:49:47You think you get lonely now?
00:49:48You see what that's like.
00:49:49Jack.
00:49:50No.
00:49:51That's it.
00:49:52Discussion's over.
00:49:53to her.
00:49:54To her.
00:49:55Come here.
00:50:02Come here.
00:50:12Come here.
00:50:13Oh, Manesley.
00:50:14Tom?
00:50:20I could use some company for a while.
00:50:24Help me no harm.
00:50:39I think I might have left my husband tonight.
00:50:44I don't know.
00:50:50Del said, um, that you've been out in Oklahoma City.
00:50:54Yeah. Second time in my life.
00:51:01How long was you and your husband married for?
00:51:06About six months.
00:51:09Where are you going?
00:51:11Just out and around.
00:51:16Just out and around?
00:51:18Driving.
00:51:19I don't want to go up to the lake.
00:51:30You by yourself?
00:51:32Yeah.
00:51:33Yeah.
00:51:36I don't know. Is it too safe up there now?
00:51:38It's...
00:51:42Will you come with me?
00:51:44To the lake?
00:51:50Yeah.
00:51:51It'd take me then.
00:51:54It'd take me up there.
00:51:57It's where I was born.
00:51:58You ain't gonna get to see the Pope.
00:51:59If you see that Pope, you're gonna have to stand out there with a hundred thousand other folks.
00:52:08Hopin' that he walks out.
00:52:09up y'all not on the side of the wall.
00:52:13You ain't gonna get to see the Pope.
00:52:14You ain't gonna get to see that Pope.
00:52:16You ain't gonna get to see the Pope.
00:52:17If you see that Pope, you're going to have to stand out there with a hundred thousand other folks.
00:52:18Hopin' that he walks out a little shelf up y'all on the side of the wall.
00:52:24See that Pope.
00:52:26You ain't going to get to see that pole.
00:52:29Well, about a month ago, Bill is back in that car shop.
00:52:32And that old pastor, Mr. Farmer, says you didn't take that stupid shit.
00:52:35Well?
00:52:36Bill said, I did take that stupid shit last night.
00:52:39He said, me was a good ally.
00:52:41They didn't lose my two-chairs right on time.
00:52:43Some flight of dinner was so nice to me.
00:52:46We landed in Rome.
00:52:47Oh, God.
00:52:50Ainsley.
00:52:53This is what we've been waiting on.
00:52:54Well, we've been waiting, Jack.
00:53:03Jack, I met your parole officer.
00:53:07What?
00:53:09He come by last Tuesday while he was at work.
00:53:15Yeah?
00:53:17And I never let on about this.
00:53:21Oh, thank you, ma'am.
00:53:22But he told me things.
00:53:24Uh, this is, uh, what the state calls a spot check.
00:53:30They, the state feels Jack is rehabilitated, uh, rehabilitated.
00:53:37Uh, but they always say a spouse should know him.
00:53:41Uh, so you probably know this, but, uh, Jack used to live up outside, uh, Tulsa in Turley.
00:53:50Yes.
00:53:50Yeah.
00:53:51And, uh, five years ago, he was, oh, he's a very different man.
00:53:55Uh, as a matter of fact, his turnaround's been remarkable.
00:53:59What did he do?
00:54:02Well, I don't know what you know.
00:54:03I don't know much.
00:54:04Right, well, he, uh, he, uh, he was just a regular shithead that, excuse me, uh, who was going nowhere fast.
00:54:13What did he do?
00:54:14You mean you really never, uh, you mean specifically, but, uh, well, I guess.
00:54:29He nearly beat a woman to death.
00:54:37Mm-hmm.
00:54:38The gal he was living with at the time.
00:54:40Mm-hmm.
00:54:44And, uh...
00:54:46What?
00:54:47She was carrying her child at the time.
00:54:57Hmm.
00:55:00And what happened to...
00:55:02Well, the gal made...
00:55:04Oh, geez.
00:55:06Yeah.
00:55:16Oh, God.
00:55:17Jack.
00:55:21Easy.
00:55:22I ain't like that no more.
00:55:23Jack, I told you that first night we met,
00:55:27that what you done got you in prison didn't make no difference to me.
00:55:32That officer could have told me anything, and I'd still love you.
00:55:38That ain't the point.
00:55:42I got nothing left to give a child.
00:55:45I got nothing left to give a child, and let me speak.
00:55:50I sit here all day.
00:55:53You won't even let me leave my own home no more.
00:55:56I can't even believe I'm pregnant.
00:56:00I feel so empty in here.
00:56:04Keep away.
00:56:07I gotta make it right, Jack.
00:56:09I want to make it right.
00:56:13I want to make it right.
00:56:14And we ain't right.
00:56:19I won't hear this.
00:56:20How can you say you won't hear this?
00:56:27I won't hear this.
00:56:32Then...
00:56:33Jack, that don't make no difference.
00:56:38What are you saying?
00:56:45Janice told me.
00:56:46Don't you think for a second.
00:56:48It ain't up to you.
00:56:50Like hell, it ain't.
00:56:51Keep away from me.
00:56:55Here, I ain't gonna touch you.
00:56:59I wouldn't do that.
00:57:00Now, you...
00:57:01Honey, you're everything to me.
00:57:03Look at me.
00:57:04You're everything.
00:57:04You just gotta let me know you hear me.
00:57:09I hear you, Jack.
00:57:12Just tell me we're gonna do this, all right?
00:57:15Say it, Angely.
00:57:18Say what we're gonna do.
00:57:20Keep away.
00:57:21Say it.
00:57:24Come on, say what we're gonna do.
00:57:27Say it.
00:57:30Say it, say it.
00:57:33Say it, say what we're gonna do.
00:57:34Say it.
00:57:35Say it.
00:57:35Say it.
00:57:35Say it.
00:57:58Say it.
00:57:59I don't know.
00:58:29It's standard procedure.
00:58:36A wife should know.
00:58:37I want another parole officer.
00:58:39You want to stay in this county?
00:58:40There's nobody else to meet with.
00:58:41You're stuck with me.
00:58:42Hey, since you're here, I got some good news for you.
00:58:45You're going to be took off monitoring.
00:58:46You nearly ruined my marriage.
00:58:48Well, take it up with a marriage counselor.
00:58:52Christ, ain't you happy?
00:58:54Yeah, I'm happy.
00:58:56Good.
00:58:57Come on in.
00:58:57I'd rather not, thanks.
00:58:59Fine.
00:59:03Hello?
00:59:04Hey.
00:59:06I got some good news, too.
00:59:07Janice?
00:59:09I'm going to be a daddy.
00:59:11Is that right?
00:59:13Yes, it is.
00:59:15Well, really, that's, uh, yeah, so how's Ainsley?
00:59:18She's great.
00:59:20So she's never been happier.
00:59:22That's wonderful.
00:59:25You don't seem sincerely excited for me.
00:59:27What's that supposed to mean?
00:59:30Well, you just...
00:59:31You just don't seem truly happy for me.
00:59:34Fuck you, Jack.
00:59:37I don't say nothing.
00:59:39Just said I was going to be daddy, is all.
00:59:41I think you can put your own problems aside and be happy for me.
00:59:44I think you better leave now.
00:59:45Why?
00:59:46Hey, you get the fuck out of this building right now if you know what's good for you.
00:59:50I'll slap you back on monitoring for five fucking years, my friend.
00:59:53I'm leaving.
00:59:53I'm leaving.
01:00:23Jack, I'm Sheriff Rogers.
01:00:44It's his video camera.
01:00:47It's standard procedure.
01:00:49I understand you're waive counsel.
01:00:51I don't need counsel.
01:00:53I've stood you right.
01:00:54You're waive counsel for this interview?
01:00:56Yes.
01:00:57Good.
01:00:59I'd like to call my wife.
01:01:04Officer Sprague tells me you're a religious man.
01:01:08Yes, I am.
01:01:08You want to talk with me about that?
01:01:12Are you a religious man?
01:01:15You ain't talking about me.
01:01:17You believe in God?
01:01:18All right, yes, I do.
01:01:28You ain't got this light as I dare.
01:01:31I can hear it in your voice.
01:01:34How should my voice sound?
01:01:35I want to call my wife.
01:01:39How should my voice sound?
01:01:41Simple.
01:01:43Clear.
01:01:45But to answer the question's almost strange.
01:01:47Is that how you believe?
01:01:49You could never understand how I believe.
01:01:52Why?
01:01:54He ain't been as far gone as I have.
01:01:56Well, how do you know?
01:01:58Am I looking at you?
01:01:59Okay, you fucker.
01:02:00I heard enough of this shit.
01:02:02Will.
01:02:02Oh, goddammit, I have.
01:02:05He says another word, I'll strangle him myself.
01:02:07Will.
01:02:08This state gave you everything.
01:02:10This state gave you your life back.
01:02:12He can't give you my life.
01:02:13Get him out of here.
01:02:14Let's get him out of here.
01:02:15You're gonna fry, you prick.
01:02:16Will.
01:02:17I'm gonna see you fry if it's the last thing that I do.
01:02:19Fear none of those things.
01:02:20I'm gonna be there.
01:02:22Will, take your goddamn hands off me.
01:02:24Don't talk about it.
01:02:25I'm gonna be there in the front fucking row when you go,
01:02:28and you're going to hell.
01:02:29You're going straight to fucking hell.
01:02:31I'll give you our crown of lies.
01:02:34Revelation.
01:02:52You've read the Bible.
01:02:54It's more than most Christians.
01:02:56He's right.
01:02:58This goes to trial, we'll win.
01:02:59You'll get the chair.
01:03:03I want that.
01:03:05I want your life to end.
01:03:09I used to think a man's life was God's domain.
01:03:13But you've changed that.
01:03:14You remember this child.
01:03:28Just picked you out of a mug book.
01:03:31Looks at your picture and starts to tremble.
01:03:35Trembles at the sight of your photograph.
01:03:37Tom?
01:03:39His name is Tom Spencer.
01:03:42Child, will you let me in?
01:03:44He's 14 years old.
01:03:45Look, you're gonna have to say something.
01:03:48I won't tolerate this no more.
01:03:49That sheriff keeps calling and asking how you are.
01:03:55Tom?
01:03:59He sent someone over for a picture of you.
01:04:02Fancy that, Tom.
01:04:06Tom?
01:04:07I'm all right.
01:04:09Well, okay then.
01:04:12I'm going to the kitchen now.
01:04:14I'm going to the kitchen now.
01:04:19About a year and a half ago, his mother finished cooking dinner for him just after the evening news.
01:04:27Lady, I've got to go out.
01:04:29And she went to the phone and called her sister.
01:04:31Lady works at the diner here in town.
01:04:34And she said, take care of my boy.
01:04:38It's yours.
01:04:40And she walked out of her house.
01:04:43Stepped to the garage.
01:04:45Closed all the doors.
01:04:49Started her car.
01:04:58Took 48 minutes.
01:05:02Boy was a wall away.
01:05:08When he turned off the TV,
01:05:10heard the car.
01:05:11Well, back it up, back it up.
01:05:21Close, close, close.
01:05:24Give your hand here.
01:05:25Wish I could describe to you
01:05:27the confusion and terror
01:05:30I saw in his eyes
01:05:33when he seen her
01:05:35being drug out of the garage.
01:05:36That boy got nothing to do with me.
01:05:44We found her body, Jack.
01:05:53You confess on this tape
01:05:54he won't have to be part of a trial.
01:05:58I'll stay to use him up to get to you.
01:06:02I want him spared that.
01:06:05I would get you anyway.
01:06:07Why put this boy through more?
01:06:11Maybe God wanted him to have seen what he's seen.
01:06:15It's got nothing to do with God.
01:06:17Everything's got to do with God.
01:06:19It's a gene this whole world's for God.
01:06:22Was God with you on Friday night?
01:06:25You don't believe that?
01:06:26I don't see why he'd let that happen
01:06:28to one of his children.
01:06:30God ain't about asking why.
01:06:33You never ask why?
01:06:37Even if I did,
01:06:40think I'd hear an answer?
01:06:41I don't.
01:06:49No, I don't.
01:06:59I can save your life.
01:07:03I've spoke with the DA.
01:07:06He says we get a confession
01:07:08and they won't go for the chair.
01:07:10You said you wanted me dead.
01:07:13It's a trade
01:07:14I can live with.
01:07:16You live
01:07:19and the boy
01:07:21spared all that.
01:07:31I'm going to turn this on now.
01:07:35Jack?
01:07:38I'm going to turn this on.
01:07:43I'm asking you to see how he is.
01:07:46Now, I'm tired of this.
01:07:50All I do
01:07:51is do for that boy.
01:07:53This boy
01:07:54ain't got a mama.
01:07:57Who do you think
01:07:58has been his mama?
01:08:01I'm making his favorite supper.
01:08:02I'm going to fetch him
01:08:03when it's ready.
01:08:05You can't check on him
01:08:06real quick,
01:08:06right now.
01:08:08Oh, mercy.
01:08:09Please, I...
01:08:11I'd like to hear how he is
01:08:13and sometimes it's hard to know
01:08:14and go through a closed door.
01:08:17Fine.

01:08:50but we do like to advise you
01:08:51to come back another day.
01:08:52I can't afford a baby
01:08:54and I can't afford
01:08:55another round-trip bus ticket.
01:08:58And you say you're not married?
01:09:01I'm not married.
01:09:03Is that the truth?
01:09:05Yeah, it's the truth.
01:09:06Tom?
01:09:18Your supper's ready.
01:09:21Tom?
01:09:24Say it to the camera.
01:09:26It's me killed her.
01:09:28You come down from Kingfisher?
01:09:31Killed who?
01:09:32There you go.
01:09:33I killed my wife,
01:09:35Innsely.
01:09:37What?
01:09:38Did you know
01:09:39what you were doing?
01:09:41And why?
01:09:43Yes.
01:09:46I did.
01:09:51Watch your heel.
01:09:52Oh, God.
01:09:56Up.
01:09:57Up.
01:09:57All right, child.
01:10:07That's enough of this.
01:10:08I'm coming in.
01:10:09You hear me?
01:10:10I'm coming in.
01:10:14Tom.
01:10:16Uh-oh.
01:10:18Tom!
01:10:18Please, no, no.
01:10:41No.
01:10:42No.
01:10:43I can see the hospital!
01:10:55I can see the hospital!
01:10:57I can see the hospital!
01:10:59No!
01:11:13I can see the hospital!
01:11:37Face!
01:11:41God tells a man to sacrifice his son.
01:11:47The man has faith, and he will do it.
01:11:51He doesn't ask why.
01:11:55At least Abraham, as he binds his son, knows why they're there.
01:12:03I don't anymore.
01:12:08I see him everywhere, but boy, I hardly knew.
01:12:14He doesn't become vague, like most memories, but clearer.
01:12:23A ghost in perpetual approach.
01:12:31It lingers in the faces of my children, grandchildren.
01:12:36You drive good.
01:12:38As she lingers in every woman I'll ever know.
01:12:44Hey.
01:12:50Hello?
01:12:54Ainsley?
01:12:55Ain't you gonna get out?
01:12:57You wanna come, then?
01:12:58I don't wanna stand out here alone.
01:13:08I don't wanna stand out here alone.
01:13:21How'd you find this place?
01:13:23My mama brought me here the day my daddy died.
01:13:29She knelt right there.
01:13:31And she prayed.
01:13:37And her and him used to come here in high school for privacy.
01:13:48How old are you?
01:13:50Just turned 14.
01:13:5114?
01:13:52You never get pulled over?
01:13:55Sometimes.
01:13:57I drive friendly.
01:13:59Yes, you do.
01:14:09What you wanna be when you get older?
01:14:15Oh, that car's an awful lot.
01:14:18Oklahoma City.
01:14:19Mechanic?
01:14:20Yeah.
01:14:21I was gonna open my own restaurant where all the old men could come from.
01:14:35Steak and potatoes.
01:14:37I was gonna marry one of them.
01:14:43Had big strong boys.
01:14:46Is that who you're running from?
01:14:49No.
01:14:50Is that the oil man you married?
01:14:51No.
01:14:52Then where'd she go?
01:14:55Mechanic I married.
01:15:00So what are you gonna do now?
01:15:12Mm-hmm.
01:15:13I was hoping coming up here would help me figure that out.
01:15:23What are you staring at?
01:15:26Your eye.
01:15:28What about him?
01:15:29One of them keep moving off.
01:15:35Who does?
01:15:36Right there, right there.
01:15:38Steady.
01:15:42You wanna see something?
01:15:44I don't know what you've done.
01:15:59Don't be afraid.
01:16:00It's just a glass eye.
01:16:01Just...
01:16:02Don't get in there, man.
01:16:03It's just glass.
01:16:04It's not my real eye.
01:16:05Where's your real eye?
01:16:06Got cut out when I was a little girl.
01:16:09When my mama told me I was gonna get a new eye.
01:16:10I said, make it purple.
01:16:12Because that was my favorite color.
01:16:13I ain't purple.
01:16:14Of course not.
01:16:15I ain't purple.
01:16:16Of course not.
01:16:17I ain't purple.
01:16:18Of course not.
01:16:20You're lucky.
01:16:21for that.
01:16:22for that.
01:16:23Preacher says people were two different people.
01:16:24You're lucky for that.
01:16:26Preacher says people with two different colored eyes is the devil.
01:16:27I said, make it purple.
01:16:28I said, make it purple.
01:16:29Because that was my favorite color.
01:16:33I ain't purple.
01:16:34Of course not.
01:16:39You're lucky for that.
01:16:51Preacher says people with two different colored eyes is the devil.
01:16:54I didn't know that, Dad.
01:17:11You want to put it back in me?
01:17:21Not so fast.
01:17:24Wipe that smuzz from your hand.
01:17:25No smuzz.
01:17:26Here.
01:17:27Hold it soft.
01:17:30Slow yourself.
01:17:36Do it hurt?
01:17:37Unusual.
01:17:38You've done it real gentle.
01:17:39Would you come into my arms?
01:17:43Would you come into my arms?
01:17:44Would you come into my arms?
01:17:45Would you come into my arms?
01:17:50Yes.
01:17:51Would you come into my arms?
01:17:57Would you come into my arms?
01:17:58Would you come into my arms?
01:17:59Would you come into my arms?
01:18:04Would you come into my arms?
01:18:05Would it hurt?
01:18:06Lord...
01:18:19Would you harm me?
01:18:20Just children.
01:18:27That's all we are, Lord, if you're out there at all.
01:18:32We're children.
