The Lowdown Season 1 Episode 4
Transcript
00:00I heard someone was asking after me, at my place of work.
00:06Next time you want to talk, call me direct.
00:08Maybe I'll even take you for a ride out to one of our properties.
00:10You could get lost out there.
00:12What's wrong with you?
00:13Don't look in the barrel.
00:14Why, what's in the barrel?
00:15It's the books.
00:16But it's okay, don't worry.
00:18Who would do that?
00:19Dad, stop.
00:21He said it's not the books that I wanted.
00:22It's what's in the books.
00:30Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:48A weed is a plant out of place.
00:55Let me repeat that.
00:58A weed is a plant out of place.
01:01I find a hollyhock in my cornfield, it's a weed.
01:04I find it in my yard, it's a flower.
01:08Wise words from the great Jim Thompson.
01:12And dear reader, in case you are at all confused by my poetic imagery, it's me.
01:20I, Dale Washburn, am the weed.
01:28The Osage Hills.
01:34My Pawpaw's Pawpaw acquired this land when he first laid foot in territory.
01:40Generations of Walshburgs were raised here.
01:43Many stories were passed down, wonderful to tell.
01:47Like how my great-grandma kept a pet squirrel on a leash tied to a tree.
01:52Or how Cousin Elizabeth went screaming into the forest the first time she saw an automobile.
02:02My own story began when I was yanked from my mother's womb at 6 a.m. on a Tuesday.
02:08The deck was stacked against me from the start.
02:11I was born with a cone head, a busted lip, a broken collarbone, and a black eye.
02:19The four sets were unkind to me, as was my mother's canal.
02:23My father's first words when he saw me were,
02:29What's wrong with him?
02:34But my older brother took me under his wing.
02:40Donald always made me feel like I was a part of some great adventure.
02:44When we played cowboys and Indians, we was always short on cowboys.
02:52I was okay being second fiddle.
02:55Unfortunately, that was one fiddle too many for Mom and Pop.
03:02Mom called me Bobo, a truly terrible name, also used to describe a ass.
03:09As for Paul, well, he grazed me in my Bobo with birdshot.
03:15I have yet to receive an apology.
03:18Or to retrieve all the pellets from my behind.
03:21The extraction process was an arduous one,
03:24which requires great dexterity and a keen eye.
03:29Okay, you know how I always tell you that writing is about personal expression,
03:33and you should never compromise for the sake of the reader?
03:36Yes.
03:37I take it all back.
03:38Okay, Dad, but come on.
03:40I know it's not great, but the guy is dead.
03:42Yeah, so what?
03:43That doesn't mean we should stop being honest about his work.
03:46I mean, that's just not our main focus right now.
03:53You're right.
03:53Mm-hmm.
03:59Hey, cowboys, where'd you get the clothes you wear?
04:05Hey, cowboys, where'd you get the clothes you wear?
04:10You pulling an all-nighter?
04:11Looks like we might be here all week.
04:14Oh, well, let me know if you need any pancakes, Francis.
04:17I'll get Bobby to make them.
04:18He can make them in the shape of a peace sign, anarchy symbol, middle finger.
04:23It's pretty cool.
04:24Well, how about a coffee?
04:25Hey, Dad, check it out.
04:37I had an odd experience this evening.
04:43I had just retired to my study to resume work on my opus, The Dust Bowl Kid.
04:49I heard barking from afar.
04:53My dog, Sally, is my first line of defense, and her message was clear.
05:03I can't believe you weren't white at night.
05:07Fuck off.
05:07I looked out the window and saw the assassins come out of the treeline like a crazed band
05:18of Lakota Indians of old.
05:24They say the 7th Cavalry's defeat took about as long as it takes for a healthy man to eat
05:30a large meal.
05:31They certainly meant to make a meal of me.
05:34I reached for my revolver and rained down thunder upon them.
05:46Holy shit.
05:48These are the skinheads.
05:50The ones who locked me in the trunk.
05:51This is the job.
05:52They fucked up in Skyhats.
05:54At least this is why they got killed.
05:57The skinheads put you in a trunk?
06:01No, no.
06:02Is that why you're all beat up?
06:03No.
06:04It was, it's not like, I mean, yes, technically, but it wasn't a big deal.
06:08Every trunk is a little lever.
06:10You just hit it, it opens, I got out, it's not a big deal.
06:12Please don't tell your mom.
06:14Should I be worried?
06:15No.
06:16What would you be worried about?
06:17No, no.
06:18Skinheads come and go.
06:20You know, these ones are going.
06:21Thanks to Ellen.
06:23Wait, the red-headed guy that came by the bookstore the other night?
06:27Oh my gosh, and I shouldn't be worried?
06:29Okay, the red-headed stranger has nothing to do with us, okay?
06:34Nothing.
06:35We're good.
06:36We're fine.
06:37Promise.
06:39What?
06:40You want to call tonight?
06:41No.
06:44Let's keep going.
06:45I rushed to inform my wife of this bloody ambush.
06:54I reckon that she ought to be the first to know.
07:01She claimed to have just awakened from a deep slumber and to have slept through the entire mess.
07:08When I told her what had transpired, she did not react, which told me all I needed to know.
07:17I had, as of late, detected a deeper coldness from her of the kind that precludes something dark and foreboded.
07:28Hey, when's that letter dated?
07:31September 15th.
07:32Go ahead.
07:33This is from a week before.
07:38I sit here nursing a bottle of wild turkey and a sore right hand.
07:45For the first time in my life, I have struck my brother.
07:49God damn it, Dale!
07:51You are not thinking straight!
07:53I came to him in peace to sort this Indian head hills issue, but he would not listen.
08:00He became angrier and angrier.
08:02Finally, he said the unthinkable to me, a most vile provocation I could not tolerate.
08:09This is something that's not even yours!
08:11Betty Jo put that terrible idea into his head, knowing that it would come out of his mouth.
08:24She's not even a real washburn, so it's funny her trying to say what belongs to who.
08:31Betty Jo always called me sensitive.
08:34She meant it is weak, but it really means quick to perceive things.
08:42To me, that's a strength.
08:46All right, shit.
09:00So a week before the murder, it's two brothers of a big blowout.
09:04Which gets blamed on Betty Jo.
09:06Seems a little convenient, but...
09:08Yeah, still, she didn't seem to care at all when Dale told her that the killers came for him.
09:14Yeah, but wouldn't she have heard the shots?
09:15The word on the street is she's a big drinker.
09:19Even so, it didn't seem like news to her.
09:23Like she knew it was coming.
09:27Like she knew it was coming.
09:30Yes.
09:32All right, one.
09:34Indian Head Hills, Old Washburn Land.
09:36Sounds like they've been fighting a lot about that recently.
09:40Indian Head Hills.
09:43Two.
09:43A most vile provocation.
09:48What the hell did Donald say to Dale to set him off so badly?
09:52According to Dale, Betty Jo would know.
09:59I've been looking at this from the wrong angle.
10:01I mean, I've always thought that this conspiracy to kill Dale started in some boardroom.
10:05But what if it was, you know, a more private matter?
10:08No, but how does that explain Alan, then?
10:11Doesn't he work for that Akron company?
10:13Yeah, but Donald could have hired him as a private contractor, right?
10:16They meet at some fancy pants benefit.
10:19Donald sees him.
10:20No, and he says, hey, that guy looks like the kind of guy who might kill somebody for a thousand bucks.
10:24Kill who for what?
10:27Mom.
10:28Hey.
10:28How was your trip?
10:31It was good.
10:32It was fun.
10:33Scooch.
10:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:36So, what's up?
10:39What's up?
10:41I'm here to take her to school.
10:42Monday to Friday.
10:43Oh, yes.
10:44Um, can you get your homework done?
10:46Mm-hmm.
10:47Yeah, yeah.
10:48Yeah, I went down to the store and that whaling guy said he's over here.
10:51Yeah, he's nice, right?
10:52I think he's a juggalo, Lee.
10:55He's in your mouth, yeah.
10:56Oh, okay.
10:57That's better.
11:00Y'all look fried.
11:03Were you up all night?
11:07I don't know.
11:09Early Rogers.
11:10Yeah, breakfast is most important meal of the day.
11:12Right.
11:14Okay, see you around the campus, kiddo.
11:17Keep on rocking in the free world.
11:18Boom.
11:19Call me.
11:20Text me.
11:21Okay.
11:22See you guys.
11:23Actually, I'll meet you in the car.
11:25I'll be right there, okay?
11:27Okay.
11:30She's sitting back then.
11:33This is important.
11:36How may I help you, ma'am?
11:42What?
11:44What's wrong?
11:47You pregnant?
11:49No, I'm not pregnant, dummy.
11:51Johnny asked me to marry him.
12:01This guy.
12:03I mean, he moves fast.
12:07I mean, he told him he swore off marriage, right?
12:12I said yes.
12:13What do you mean?
12:14Why would you say that?
12:24Why would you say that?
12:27I'm happy.
12:28I've got to get her to school.
12:44I've got to get her to school.
12:44I think she knows.
13:00Maybe that's a問題.
13:01Bye.
13:02Bye.
13:07Bye.
13:07Bye.
13:08Bye.
13:08Bye.
13:09Uh, my name is Alan. I'm an alcoholic and a drug addict.
13:27Hi, Alan.
13:31Uh, I'm coming up on my two years,
13:36which, uh, which I should be proud of.
13:38But, to tell you the truth, it's been hard staying clean lately.
13:48There's someone I work for, someone that I let down.
13:59And, uh, I haven't been honest with him.
14:08And it's not fair to him, because I owe this man everything.
14:14When I got out of McAllister, he was the only one who threw me a lifeline.
14:26And I, I was, I was at rock bottom.
14:33Um, man, I mean, I probably would have died then.
14:41And he pulled me up.
14:46Taught me all about structure and goals.
14:51And, uh...
14:59I'm just praying I could stay strong.
15:13And I said all this right again, somehow.
15:21I'm just praying.
15:22I'm leaving.
15:23Patriarchies.
15:24I'm leaving Church and State.
15:25I'm waiting for the dentist to ask you.
15:26Lee, what's your favorite Michael Curtiz?
15:27Not now.
15:28It will...
15:29Not a movie.
15:30I would have thought you said Boy from Oklahoma.
15:31No.
15:32Captain Blood.
15:33It's Carol Flynn.
15:34Good morning.
15:35Can I help you?
15:36Yeah.
15:37Hold up.
15:38Got something, Plain.
15:39Where'd you get that?
15:41Not you.
15:42How do you know Dale?
15:45Why are you giving this to me?
15:47I'm not giving it.
15:48I'm selling one.
15:49I was selling one.
15:50Hey, what's your favorite Michael Curtiz?
15:51Not now.
15:52It will...
15:53Not a movie.
15:54I would have thought you said Boy from Oklahoma.
15:56No.
15:57Captain Blood.
15:58Carl Flynn.
15:59Good morning.
16:00Can I help you?
16:02Yeah.
16:03Hold up.
16:04Got something, Plain.
16:05Where'd you get that?
16:06Not sure.
16:07How do you know Dale?
16:08I'm giving it. I'm selling it. It's 30 bucks.
16:12Okay, I got you. Sure.
16:16You're the guy who wrote that article about him, right? Yeah, right.
16:20It's not my fault he killed himself. Okay? It's not.
16:24Yeah, I know.
16:28How do you know? This is too much.
16:32No, no, no. Keep the change. So how do you know they are?
16:36What, your friends? Did you know them well? Actually,
16:40I didn't know the dude. I saw that photo on the paper.
16:44But thank you. Hey. Yo, come.
16:48Who are you?
16:52Hey, well, you know that guy? No, he was loitering.
16:56The loiterer.
17:00You see Waylon?
17:04Hey, well.
17:06You're talking too loud, they can hear you way up in the sky.
17:12You're talking too loud, they can hear you way up in the sky.
17:26When the day's getting darker, coyotes are lying.
17:38Time drags on and there's nothing new to me.
17:44Wait! Company!
17:45Yeah, yeah! I'm coming!
17:46Coming, be right there.
17:48Oh, Elijah's here. He's acting weird.
17:50Why are you so weird to me? Wearder than usual.
17:52Hey, Elijah. How you doing?
17:56You good?
17:58Elijah?
18:00You okay?
18:04I'm on shrooms.
18:06Already, huh? What, just to get through the day?
18:08No, because I was coming to see you.
18:12Really?
18:14Also, I thought it was a micro-dose.
18:16It was not.
18:17Alright, hit me.
18:18Donald Washburg is suing the Heartland Press.
18:22Apparently you upset him when you cornered him at his brother's memorial.
18:26You know what?
18:28This is great.
18:30The future governor going to war with us is great.
18:34Yes, you saw Debbie Does Dallas, right?
18:36The Beaver film?
18:38The porno.
18:39This can't be a shame.
18:40It's okay.
18:41I'm not ashamed.
18:421978, Debbie Does Dallas comes out.
18:43Okay.
18:44The actresses were wearing uniforms very similar to that of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, right?
18:49So the Cowboys get pissed.
18:51They sue the producers for everything they got.
18:54And guess what?
18:55They win.
18:56But what happens?
18:57Everybody's talking about Debbie Does Dallas.
19:00It becomes the most successful porno in the world because they were sued.
19:06He's gonna destroy Heartland.
19:08No.
19:09Lee, we're a basic non-profit.
19:11We're for profit, but we're only funded by one man's profit.
19:14Our readership is about to explode.
19:15Does that make sense?
19:16Everyone's gonna get laid off.
19:17I'm gonna lose my house.
19:18You won't.
19:19You live at Heartland Press.
19:20Exactly, and I'm gonna lose it.
19:21I'll be out on the street eating sandwiches.
19:24You're gonna lose your revenue stream.
19:26You're gonna lose your bookstore.
19:27This is the greatest day of our lives.
19:29Lee, Donald's lawyers are seeking a restraining order.
19:33If you go anywhere near the Washburg family, they're gonna throw you in jail.
19:37Daddy!
19:38When does that get issued?
19:42Hello there, Mr. Governor.
19:43Terry, don't you dare call me that.
19:45You know how superstitious I am.
19:47Clark, what are you doing here?
19:49I thought Linda had you on house arrest.
19:51Look at these little onions.
19:58Never trust a man who doesn't get onions on his conies.
20:02Mmm.
20:03Mmm.
20:04Mmm.
20:05Oh, yes.
20:06I went to see Betty Jo yesterday.
20:08She's not moving out of the house.
20:11You gave her the money?
20:12She threw it back in my face.
20:14Oh, you sound like she's upset.
20:16How did you think she would take it?
20:18And how did you think I would feel doing it?
20:20Shit.
20:21I mean, I didn't sign up for putting widows out on the street.
20:24Mmm.
20:25Don't be so dramatic, Job.
20:27We offered her new accommodations and cash.
20:35Can I talk to you as a friend right now?
20:37Well, I hope we're always talking as friends.
20:39I don't know what's going on between you and Betty Jo,
20:42but do you really want to piss her off a month before the election?
20:46She can really fuck up your life right now.
20:48No, she's not going to do that.
20:49If some motherfucker was kicking me out of my house,
20:51I would fuck his life up.
20:53My wife found out.
20:55She's livid.
20:57She's not letting me keep my special friend on the property.
21:01This is what I'm dealing with.
21:03I got to keep Mary Ann happy.
21:08She's a huge part of this campaign.
21:10I love her and women voters love her.
21:13You bet that Joe starts talking.
21:15Women voters will have an opinion about that, too.
21:18See, this is why I need your help.
21:20I'm in a jam, Chubbs.
21:22I mean, underneath this strong, confident demeanor
21:25is a man who feels things intensely,
21:27and I am feeling this pressure
21:30that someone in your position doesn't understand.
21:36In my position?
21:38Yes.
21:39I'm running for the highest office in the state.
21:43I mean, no offense, Chubbs, but you don't know what this is like.
21:45It's an unimaginable burden.
21:47Just the money alone.
21:49You know, I want to help you.
21:51Good.
21:52Good.
21:53Because you're the only person I can trust.
21:56Donald.
21:58Go talk to her.
22:00No.
22:04Mmm.
22:05They tell me,
22:10And a good news present to you.
22:26No, I'm bad here, everywhere I feel, no, no, I'm always getting into love, and I'm leaving little men that hate to bring me here.
22:46Well, they tried to hang me down in a club, and they didn't stand to kill, I couldn't kill, I broke the rope, and they had to let me go, because I'm bad here.
23:04Saddle, you hungry?
23:15Come on.
23:17Shh, this gravy is fucking amazing, okay, it's nice, it's thick.
23:35Oh, I thought you'd like it here.
23:37No, I love it.
23:38Yeah.
23:39Mm-hmm.
23:40Well, because this is the kind of food you think people like me eat.
23:45People like you?
23:46Mm-hmm.
23:47I know what I'm supposed to be.
23:49Trailer trash you married up?
23:54Yeah.
23:55I read your article, Lee, I could read, you know.
23:58I never said.
23:59You implied, oh yes, you did, which is a coward's way of saying it.
24:03Come on, people can talk a lot of shit about me, all right?
24:06A coward?
24:06No.
24:07Elitist?
24:08Fuck no.
24:10Cheap shots hurt your feelings, too?
24:12Look, have you talked to me for the article?
24:14You know, you could have set me straight.
24:15Why would I talk to a complete stranger?
24:17I'm not a complete stranger.
24:18I'm a true historian.
24:19I'm hunting for the truth.
24:22Yeah.
24:23You want the truth?
24:25Yeah.
24:25Okay.
24:26Some dirtbag reporter wrote a hit piece about my family.
24:30Oh, truth.
24:31Then, after my husband died, that reporter shows up at the estate sale peacocking around.
24:38Peacocking?
24:38Yeah.
24:39I, I...
24:39And then, then he crashes the memorial, trying to ruin it by screaming crazy shit at my dead
24:49husband's brother.
24:50No, this, this is a game to you.
24:53No, it's not a game.
24:55I had my ass kicked.
24:57My family was threatened.
25:00By who?
25:02Well, by...
25:03Forget it.
25:12I got it.
25:25Let me...
25:25I insist.
25:27All right, well, um...
25:29Thanks for the meal.
25:31My pleasure.
25:32I've been waiting to chew your ass.
25:35I gotta say, you took it like a man.
25:37Mostly.
25:38I am, uh...
25:43Sorry about your husband.
25:47No, it must have been really difficult.
25:49I don't want to talk about Dale.
25:51Mm-mm.
25:52All right, no deal.
25:55You want to get a drink?
26:00You buy him?
26:01Yeah.
26:02Because you look busted.
26:03I always keep an emergency C note in my boot.
26:06Check this out.
26:06Get your way off the table.
26:09Look, you see, I got the wrong impression of you.
26:12I think you got the wrong impression of me.
26:14Let's have a couple shots of tequila and fix it.
26:16A little drink in.
26:18A little dance in.
26:23All right.
26:24But I'm only staying for one.
26:25I'm only staying for one.
26:43Alan.
26:44Alan.
26:44Alan.
26:46Hello, Bonnie.
26:47What's up, man?
26:49Bill.
26:51What's going on?
26:54I was at the store.
26:55I got you these.
26:56Why did you do that?
26:58I thought you might need them.
26:59That's nice, thanks.
27:02Blackie around?
27:03No.
27:04I was hoping you'd seen him.
27:06Well, I haven't, uh, he wasn't at the meeting today.
27:12You're his sponsor.
27:13He talks to him more than he does to me.
27:15Oh, you think he'd like all that shit again?
27:19Hope not, but, uh, you never know.
27:22An old pile of blackies came by the other day looking for him.
27:28Said he was his old cell mayor or something.
27:32What pal?
27:34Dude named Johnny.
27:37Never heard of him.
27:38Well, he said he was from out of town.
27:42What'd he look like?
27:44Older, kind of handsome.
27:46Stars and stars.
27:50You talked to this guy?
27:52Oh.
27:53Well, just a little.
27:56And what did he want again?
27:58Oh, he was just looking for those two.
28:00He didn't say why?
28:02And you didn't ask.
28:04Well, he was really just, like, in and then out.
28:11You should have called me.
28:12He comes around again.
28:22Let me know.
28:25Yeah, sure.
28:26That's too good.
28:45Okay, my turn to toast.
28:46Talib.
28:48Talib.
28:49Who is not quite as big of an asshole as he pretends to be.
28:54Oh.
28:55Oh.
28:56Ah.
28:57You are not the first person to give that toast.
29:00Mm-hmm.
29:01Oh, this boy, thank you.
29:04I can drink whiskey and red wine.
29:07Oh, shit.
29:09Well, you're a snob.
29:11I'm not a snob.
29:12I just...
29:12I don't need another ballad.
29:15Oh.
29:16Broken heart.
29:19Everybody's heart's broken.
29:21Mm-hmm.
29:23All right.
29:25Listen to this.
29:25My ex.
29:26Yeah.
29:27The mother of my child.
29:29Yeah.
29:31Ah.
29:33It's marrying a dentist.
29:35No.
29:37You can't fault a woman for wanting stability.
29:42I mean, what does your kid think of him?
29:45Frances is a great bullshit detector.
29:48She's hot to him.
29:50How old is she?
29:51She's 13.
29:53Mine's 20.
29:55Hmm.
29:55Pearl.
29:56Pearl.
29:57That's a pretty name.
29:59Yeah, she's a pretty girl.
30:02She's a handful.
30:05Yeah.
30:08I mean...
30:09If I talked to my mom the way that she talks to me,
30:16I'd be dead.
30:20And my mom would be on death row.
30:29But...
30:30Back to your ex.
30:31Don't put her on a pedestal.
30:38You think people are one thing?
30:41And then they turn out to be another.
30:43I never flew south, I never flew west, never was a little desert for how I got there.
31:06I never spread my veins on the first day of spring.
31:11I never saw the first night of anything.
31:15It's just the same.
31:16That way, could you do me a favor?
31:29Anything you want.
31:31Okay.
31:33Could you?
31:35Oh, God.
31:37Could you just follow me home so I know there's no cop on my ass?
31:41It's fine.
31:59It's fine.
32:00Mmm.
32:00Mmm.
32:02Mmm.
32:03Mmm.
32:04Mmm.
32:04Mmm.
32:04Let me stay for a night, Cap.
32:20I thought that's what we were doing.
32:26Dan. Dan's that way.
32:28I think ice is this way.
32:35Okay, Dan's that way.
32:36Dan. Dan's that way.
32:58Dan's that way.
33:28I took a bunch of shit for having the estate sale so soon.
33:42No one had the balls to say it to my face, but it got back to me.
33:47A lot of this junk reminded me of the night Dale did it.
33:52I was out on the couch.
33:54I was out on the couch.
33:58It was a stupid thing to do.
34:17And selfish.
34:18I got some videos you want to watch.
34:33Oh, look at her.
34:34Look at her.
34:34Look at her.
34:35Yee-haw!
34:36She's hot.
34:37She is hot.
34:39She's not as hot as you, though.
34:41Yeah.
34:41You're smoking up there.
34:43You know, seriously, rodeo queens,
34:45I was getting lumped in with those beauty pageant bitches.
34:48Yeah.
34:48And all they do is stand there and look pretty.
34:51We got a ride and wrangle with a lot of hairspray.
34:54And you were the belle of the ball.
34:58Yeah, I know.
34:59Well, that was the fun part.
35:01But there was another side of Avent that I'm glad I got away from.
35:07There's always another side.
35:12Yeah.
35:13A lot of those boys ended up dead or in prison.
35:20You stay in touch with any of them?
35:21Who?
35:22You know, the old Avent gang.
35:26I'm not busy when I have the town.
35:51What's this fucking stranger doing in my house?
36:09Dang.
36:13Fucking shit.
36:16Oh, no.
36:17I'm sorry.
36:18But you're just, your face.
36:20I almost shit my pants just then.
36:23That's not funny.
36:24It was Dale's gun and I was going to show it to you.
36:28But then I just, I couldn't help it.
36:30Come on.
36:31Dale's gun.
36:33It was a joke, Lee.
36:34Don't be mad.
36:35It fucking scared me.
36:38Jesus Christ.
36:39There you go.
36:48Fuck.
36:49Fuck.
36:49What are you doing?
36:50Hey, it's loaded.
36:52What?
36:53No.
36:54It just went off.
36:55All right.
36:55Well, maybe there was a round left, but it's empty now.
36:58See?
37:01Fuck.
37:01Fuck.
37:02Jesus Christ.
37:03I'm putting this away.
37:05All right?
37:06You are not allowed to touch this anymore.
37:10Fun's over.
37:11Fun's over.
37:13Shh.
37:13Calm down.
37:15Hey.
37:17Whoa.
37:18I'm sorry.
37:19Can we just, can we just...
37:21I don't know what the fuck's going on.
37:23I don't, uh...
37:24What?
37:25It's gotten weird.
37:26Yeah.
37:26I said I was sorry and I wouldn't bullshit you.
37:30You've been bullshitting me all night.
37:32About what?
37:35About finding Dale's body, for one.
37:37That was bullshit.
37:38Yeah.
37:41You gonna tell me what I saw?
37:43We both know that he did not commit suicide.
37:46How would you know that?
37:48A couple nights before he's found dead, two guys break in here and try to murder him.
37:52Oh, that's a coincidence.
37:54What, he didn't mention that?
37:55Yeah, well...
37:56He did.
37:59But I didn't believe him.
38:02You don't understand how he was at the end.
38:05No, help me.
38:06Help me understand.
38:08He was paranoid.
38:10He thought everyone was out to get him, including me and his brother.
38:17But how did you know about those guys?
38:20I know that you and Donald are having an affair.
38:25Hmm?
38:25Ah.
38:26Ah, yeah, I do.
38:27Was it his idea to kill him?
38:29Hmm?
38:30Was it?
38:30No.
38:32Donald loves him.
38:33Yeah?
38:34You know what it was the big fight about?
38:35Hmm?
38:36Big fight?
38:37The big fight about the land, about Indian Head Hills.
38:40I'm not sure.
38:41Betty, you're trying to help you out here.
38:43I really don't know the details.
38:46You have a big fight about land.
38:48Oh, God.
38:48And then he's found murdered.
38:49No.
38:50It's not a good look.
38:51Oh, God damn it.
38:53The fight wasn't really about land.
38:57And telling Dale wasn't my fault.
38:59Telling Dale what?
39:06Pearl isn't his daughter.
39:09She's Donald's.
39:10Oh, God damn it.
39:17What a fucking mess.
39:19I met Donald first, fell in love.
39:31Golden boy and the small town slut.
39:34Never gonna happen.
39:39I knew Dale.
39:42And I really liked him.
39:44He was a sensitive, odd guy.
39:50Gay is the day is long.
39:54And his family was just so desperate for him to marry a woman.
40:01Later, when Donald got me pregnant,
40:04I fixed it so that Dale thought Pearl was his.
40:10I got him drunk one night.
40:11I got him drunk one night.
40:14Paul was I.
40:17It worked out for everyone.
40:20I was close to Donald.
40:22Dale had his cover.
40:26And Dale loved Pearl.
40:30So much.
40:34They were best friends.
40:39It was why I never wanted him to know.
40:41Why did Donald finally tell him?
40:47Well, it was when they had to fight, Pearl's name came up.
40:58Who had her best interests in mind.
41:01And Donald was just at the end of his rope.
41:04And I guess he blurted it out.
41:06The most violent application.
41:11It was the worst thing you could say to him.
41:15And I get why Dale hated us at the end.
41:20Does Pearl know?
41:24You probably think I'm a terrible person, don't you?
41:28You just did what you had to do.
41:29Well, the question is, what do you do now?
41:43Thank you for the company this evening.
41:46It was the most fun I've had in years.
41:48I'll see you next time.
41:49I'll see you next time.
41:49I'll see you next time.
41:50I'll see you next time.
41:54What the hell?
41:55Bye-bye.
41:56Bye-bye.
42:16Bye-bye.
42:17Oh, my God.
42:47Oh, my God.
43:17I'm in the river, and I need your help cleaning it up.
43:22Can we meet?
43:23Don't be careful.
43:24Oh, my God.
43:39Oh, my God.
43:44Oh, my God.
45:13Some guys really came here to get Dale?
45:20Yep, they sure did.
45:22Who were they?
45:23Hmm.
45:25A couple of shitheads.
45:29I thought he was making it up.
45:33No.
45:34Somebody killed him.
45:35You don't still think I did.
45:44Huh.
45:46Look, somebody did.
45:49Okay.
45:50You don't think Donald might have.
45:58What do you think?
46:02Nothing.
46:03Come on.
46:04No stone.
46:06You thinking something?
46:08I don't know.
46:12I was just...
46:14He hasn't been himself lately, and...
46:18He won't see me anymore.
46:25He was trying to take this house away from me.
46:27But I think he's going to change his mind anyway.
46:36I'm a more cynical person than I think you were trying to use me.
46:41Oh, no.
46:43Me?
46:43Lee?
46:44No.
46:45How would I use you?
46:46I don't know.
46:47You're giving me a bunch of dirt about a...
46:49A man running for governor?
46:52Hmm?
46:53No.
46:54Seriously.
46:56It would be worse for Pearl, and I don't want that out there.
46:59Okay?
47:00Okay.
47:06But you know what, Lee?
47:08Mm-hmm.
47:09Mm-hmm.
47:11If I'm going to shake down anyone, it ain't going to be the Washburgs.
47:15Mm-hmm.
47:16Mm-hmm.
47:18They're what you call a cash-poor family.
47:21Mm-hmm.
47:23Mm-hmm.
47:23Mm-hmm.
47:24Mm-hmm.
47:25Mm-hmm.
47:25Mm-hmm.
47:26Mm-hmm.
47:27Mm-hmm.
47:28Mm-hmm.
47:29But I am using you for something.
47:35Good boy.
47:58Mm-hmm.
47:58Good boy.
47:59Good boy.
48:16Good boy.
48:17Good boy.
48:19Good boy.
