- Woman:
- Hey! Darce.
- 2
- 00:01:01,837 --> 00:01:03,673
- Look, you shouldn't be
- out here either.
- 3
- 00:01:03,675 --> 00:01:06,809
- Too many people come out
- at the same time,
- 4
- 00:01:06,811 --> 00:01:07,977
- she's gonna bust us.
- 5
- 00:01:07,979 --> 00:01:09,980
- - And then what?
- - Mmm?
- 6
- 00:01:09,982 --> 00:01:11,415
- No more gardening at night.
- 7
- 00:01:11,417 --> 00:01:14,017
- Hey, you know how that
- cramps your style.
- 8
- 00:01:14,019 --> 00:01:17,221
- Well, I got these roses
- on sale at Walmart today.
- 9
- 00:01:17,223 --> 00:01:19,824
- I get 'em in the ground
- while the soil's cooled off,
- 10
- 00:01:19,826 --> 00:01:20,892
- else they're gonna wither.
- 11
- 00:01:20,894 --> 00:01:23,796
- Serves you right if they wither,
- shopping at Walmart.
- 12
- 00:01:23,798 --> 00:01:26,432
- You want me to make coffee in
- the morning or you gonna do it?
- 13
- 00:01:26,434 --> 00:01:30,470
- Me. I'll see you at 7:00.
- Get some sleep.
- 14
- 00:01:30,472 --> 00:01:32,105
- It's too hot.
- 15
- 00:01:50,327 --> 00:01:53,363
- Agh, it already feels like
- I switched the blow dryer
- 16
- 00:01:53,365 --> 00:01:55,766
- on "high" and held it up
- to my face for half an hour.
- 17
- 00:01:55,768 --> 00:01:58,103
- It doesn't help that
- you're driving around
- 18
- 00:01:58,105 --> 00:01:59,037
- in a mini sweat lodge.
- 19
- 00:01:59,039 --> 00:02:00,338
- Man on radio:
- <i>Hello, folks.</i>
- 20
- 00:02:00,340 --> 00:02:02,507
- <i>Today we're heading into
- our 88th consecutive day</i>
- 21
- 00:02:02,509 --> 00:02:04,944
- <i>of no rain here
- in north Georgia in this,</i>
- 22
- 00:02:04,946 --> 00:02:07,146
- <i>the hottest September on record.</i>
- 23
- 00:02:07,148 --> 00:02:09,216
- <i>And there's no rain in sight.</i>
- 24
- 00:02:10,753 --> 00:02:11,418
- Oh, shit, space cowboy.
- 25
- 00:02:11,420 --> 00:02:13,920
- Don't look, don't look,
- don't look, don't look.
- 26
- 00:02:13,922 --> 00:02:15,790
- What?
- He knows your truck.
- 27
- 00:02:15,792 --> 00:02:18,426
- Don't make eye contact.
- Christ.
- 28
- 00:02:18,428 --> 00:02:21,230
- He's never awake this time of...
- 29
- 00:02:21,232 --> 00:02:23,499
- Hey, Clay, how you doing?
- 30
- 00:02:51,933 --> 00:02:55,335
- Do you have a second, Darcy?
- 31
- 00:02:55,337 --> 00:02:56,403
- I don't want to alarm you,
- 32
- 00:02:56,405 --> 00:02:58,439
- because there is nothing
- to worry about yet,
- 33
- 00:02:58,441 --> 00:03:02,277
- but the Dean's been discussing
- budget cuts and layoffs again,
- 34
- 00:03:02,279 --> 00:03:05,314
- and we may have to pare down
- on administrative assistants.
- 35
- 00:03:05,316 --> 00:03:06,448
- Uh-huh.
- 36
- 00:03:06,450 --> 00:03:08,818
- I know you were interested
- in a tuition option
- 37
- 00:03:08,820 --> 00:03:11,054
- - after two years of service.
- - Right.
- 38
- 00:03:11,056 --> 00:03:13,990
- Did you get your application in?
- 39
- 00:03:13,992 --> 00:03:15,860
- Good, ma in American lit.
- 40
- 00:03:15,862 --> 00:03:18,462
- Ba. Ba.
- I never got my degree.
- 41
- 00:03:18,464 --> 00:03:21,166
- Well, good for you
- for finishing it now.
- 42
- 00:03:21,168 --> 00:03:25,470
- Oh, also, you may have to pay
- in more to the health plan.
- 43
- 00:03:25,472 --> 00:03:28,308
- You don't have
- any dependents, correct?
- 44
- 00:03:30,277 --> 00:03:31,878
- No.
- 45
- 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,114
- So they need you
- to get out there
- 46
- 00:03:34,116 --> 00:03:35,950
- and find the money
- and be all charming,
- 47
- 00:03:35,952 --> 00:03:38,419
- so you're totally safe,
- and Geri,
- 48
- 00:03:38,421 --> 00:03:41,089
- you know everything there is
- to know about computers.
- 49
- 00:03:41,091 --> 00:03:42,324
- Plus not to be blunt,
- 50
- 00:03:42,326 --> 00:03:44,492
- but you got race<i> and</i> gender
- on your side.
- 51
- 00:03:44,494 --> 00:03:47,330
- - Funny how things work out sometimes.
- - Shut up.
- 52
- 00:03:47,332 --> 00:03:49,298
- I think it'll be fine, Darce.
- Don't stress.
- 53
- 00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:52,402
- You could always ask Clayton
- for your old job back.
- 54
- 00:03:52,404 --> 00:03:53,470
- No. No, no, no.
- 55
- 00:03:53,472 --> 00:03:56,240
- No, she was the world's
- worst waitress.
- 56
- 00:03:56,242 --> 00:03:57,475
- - No.
- - Oh.
- 57
- 00:03:57,477 --> 00:04:00,979
- I'll see you after work,
- sweetheart.
- 58
- 00:04:00,981 --> 00:04:02,647
- Love you.
- 59
- 00:04:36,254 --> 00:04:38,622
- - Oh, pardon me.
- - Sorry.
- 60
- 00:04:38,624 --> 00:04:42,027
- Oh. Oh.
- 61
- 00:04:42,029 --> 00:04:44,296
- Are you...
- 62
- 00:04:44,298 --> 00:04:46,599
- Is that Kevin?
- Kevin Jenkins?
- 63
- 00:04:46,601 --> 00:04:49,402
- Miss Baylor,
- how you been keeping?
- 64
- 00:04:51,707 --> 00:04:53,173
- Fine.
- 65
- 00:04:53,175 --> 00:04:54,441
- I'm sorry, Kevin.
- 66
- 00:04:54,443 --> 00:04:58,012
- I... I almost didn't
- recognize you.
- 67
- 00:04:58,014 --> 00:05:01,683
- You just...
- Look so different.
- 68
- 00:05:01,685 --> 00:05:03,385
- This here is my wife, Beth.
- 69
- 00:05:03,387 --> 00:05:06,622
- Oh, excuse me.
- I'm Darcy, Darcy Baylor.
- 70
- 00:05:06,624 --> 00:05:08,724
- Kevin was friends
- with my son Walker.
- 71
- 00:05:08,726 --> 00:05:11,227
- They had some run together,
- those two.
- 72
- 00:05:11,229 --> 00:05:12,429
- Yep.
- 73
- 00:05:12,431 --> 00:05:15,733
- From kindergarten all the way
- through to grad school.
- 74
- 00:05:15,735 --> 00:05:17,268
- They were thick as thieves.
- 75
- 00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:20,538
- Kevin told me all about it.
- Such a loss.
- 76
- 00:05:20,540 --> 00:05:22,341
- I can't imagine how painful...
- 77
- 00:05:22,343 --> 00:05:23,475
- This your first?
- 78
- 00:05:23,477 --> 00:05:26,211
- We've got three boys already.
- 79
- 00:05:26,213 --> 00:05:27,280
- This is a boy, too.
- 80
- 00:05:27,282 --> 00:05:31,284
- Aren't you a little young
- to have that many kids, Kevin?
- 81
- 00:05:31,286 --> 00:05:34,455
- I'm almost 32, Ms. Baylor.
- 82
- 00:05:37,659 --> 00:05:40,395
- We're up from Birmingham
- visiting mama.
- 83
- 00:05:40,397 --> 00:05:43,498
- I run an accounting firm
- down there now, so.
- 84
- 00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:45,668
- Well, you remember me to her.
- 85
- 00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:47,503
- Yes, ma'am, of course.
- 86
- 00:06:56,451 --> 00:06:58,753
- Here you go, zipper.
- 87
- 00:07:10,134 --> 00:07:11,501
- - Hey.
- - Hey.
- 88
- 00:07:11,503 --> 00:07:14,771
- Want to come over?
- I'm fixing a salad.
- 89
- 00:07:14,773 --> 00:07:15,739
- <i>I can't, working late.</i>
- 90
- 00:07:15,741 --> 00:07:17,608
- Dean says the funding letter's
- gotta go out,
- 91
- 00:07:17,610 --> 00:07:19,844
- and I'm up to my eyeballs
- trying to track down
- 92
- 00:07:19,846 --> 00:07:21,480
- any alum that's got money.
- 93
- 00:07:21,482 --> 00:07:23,882
- Mm, donations
- are in short supply, huh?
- 94
- 00:07:23,884 --> 00:07:25,317
- <i>Mostly, but I just found</i>
- 95
- 00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:27,153
- one prospect who's loaded,
- apparently.
- 96
- 00:07:27,155 --> 00:07:30,256
- Wasn't Walker friends
- with some guy named mark Wright?
- 97
- 00:07:30,258 --> 00:07:31,757
- Mark Wright.
- 98
- 00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:35,562
- Oh, he's from
- New Orleans originally?
- 99
- 00:07:35,564 --> 00:07:37,531
- The very one.
- 100
- 00:07:37,533 --> 00:07:38,265
- Yeah.
- 101
- 00:07:38,267 --> 00:07:40,435
- He and Walker were in
- business school together.
- 102
- 00:07:40,437 --> 00:07:44,739
- I never liked that kid.
- He had weird-ass energy.
- 103
- 00:07:44,741 --> 00:07:49,378
- Huh, so, what can you tell me
- about mark Wright?
- 104
- 00:07:49,380 --> 00:07:51,214
- <i>I don't know.</i>
- 105
- 00:07:51,216 --> 00:07:55,585
- Walker kind of idolized him.
- I could never figure out why.
- 106
- 00:07:55,587 --> 00:07:58,523
- He was from some rich family.
- Yeah.
- 107
- 00:07:58,525 --> 00:08:01,592
- He was dealing coke all over.
- Not like he had to.
- 108
- 00:08:01,594 --> 00:08:04,897
- But nobody ever bothered him
- about it
- 109
- 00:08:04,899 --> 00:08:07,799
- 'cause he was a legacy.
- 110
- 00:08:08,601 --> 00:08:10,904
- Did you see that?
- Heat lightning.
- 111
- 00:08:10,906 --> 00:08:12,172
- <i>It's a big fat tease.</i>
- 112
- 00:08:12,174 --> 00:08:17,711
- Not like we're getting any
- actual precipitation out of it.
- 113
- 00:08:17,713 --> 00:08:20,849
- Anyway, mark was always
- hiring Walker
- 114
- 00:08:20,851 --> 00:08:25,220
- to do shit jobs like pick up
- his dry cleaning
- 115
- 00:08:25,222 --> 00:08:26,822
- because he knew
- he was hard up for cash.
- 116
- 00:08:26,824 --> 00:08:29,325
- Well, you know what they say.
- Money begets money.
- 117
- 00:08:29,327 --> 00:08:32,562
- <i>Mark Wright's worth something
- like 5 million bucks now.</i>
- 118
- 00:08:32,564 --> 00:08:33,964
- - What?
- - <i>Made it all in this chain</i>
- 119
- 00:08:33,966 --> 00:08:35,699
- of restaurants down
- in Louisiana.
- 120
- 00:08:35,701 --> 00:08:38,335
- - You shaving your legs or something?
- - No.
- 121
- 00:08:38,337 --> 00:08:40,605
- - <i>What kind of restaurant?</i>
- - Oh, it's ridiculous.
- 122
- 00:08:40,607 --> 00:08:42,540
- It's like make
- your own hot dogs,
- 123
- 00:08:42,542 --> 00:08:45,878
- dogs the way you want them,
- something like that.
- 124
- 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,379
- Hot dogs.
- 125
- 00:08:47,381 --> 00:08:47,947
- <i>Yeah.</i>
- 126
- 00:08:47,949 --> 00:08:50,917
- Like ones made
- with all-natural ingredients,
- 127
- 00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:53,753
- <i>and some of them are vegetarian?</i>
- 128
- 00:08:53,755 --> 00:08:55,255
- - Uh-huh.
- - <i>Like tofu?</i>
- 129
- 00:08:55,257 --> 00:08:58,626
- - Uh-huh.
- - Is it called the dawg house?
- 130
- 00:08:58,628 --> 00:09:00,695
- Like d-a-w-g?
- 131
- 00:09:00,697 --> 00:09:04,466
- Yeah, d-a-w-g.
- How'd you know that?
- 132
- 00:09:06,736 --> 00:09:09,872
- <i>Darce?
- Are you still there?</i>
- 133
- 00:09:12,309 --> 00:09:13,710
- I gotta go.
- 134
- 00:09:52,023 --> 00:09:53,923
- Hey.
- 135
- 00:09:59,631 --> 00:10:02,566
- Last time I saw that look
- on your face,
- 136
- 00:10:02,568 --> 00:10:05,671
- it was the night that you broke
- that menu board
- 137
- 00:10:05,673 --> 00:10:08,741
- over some guy's head
- when he grabbed your ass
- 138
- 00:10:08,743 --> 00:10:11,444
- when you set down his meatloaf.
- 139
- 00:10:12,746 --> 00:10:15,316
- I was in the stock room
- minding my own business,
- 140
- 00:10:15,318 --> 00:10:18,619
- and I heard "Cr-ack."
- 141
- 00:10:18,621 --> 00:10:21,022
- Cleaved it clean in two.
- 142
- 00:10:29,666 --> 00:10:30,099
- Darcy?
- 143
- 00:10:30,101 --> 00:10:32,969
- If you didn't want to see me,
- what you come in here for?
- 144
- 00:10:32,971 --> 00:10:37,074
- It's good to get out
- of the house sometimes.
- 145
- 00:10:38,476 --> 00:10:42,680
- Byrd told me you're worried
- about your job.
- 146
- 00:10:42,682 --> 00:10:44,415
- Town crier.
- 147
- 00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:49,455
- Are you going to quit
- being cryptic or what?
- 148
- 00:11:53,764 --> 00:11:58,469
- Remember when you, me,
- and Walker dug this bed?
- 149
- 00:11:58,471 --> 00:12:00,137
- I do.
- 150
- 00:12:00,872 --> 00:12:03,675
- He's been coming up
- all day today.
- 151
- 00:12:03,677 --> 00:12:07,612
- Some days, you know,
- he just sort of surfaces.
- 152
- 00:12:07,614 --> 00:12:09,849
- Some days not at all.
- 153
- 00:12:12,052 --> 00:12:14,755
- When he was real little
- and I barely had
- 154
- 00:12:14,757 --> 00:12:16,223
- two pennies to rub together,
- 155
- 00:12:16,225 --> 00:12:19,827
- there was one thing
- we would always do on Saturdays,
- 156
- 00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:23,665
- and that was walk up to Louie's
- and get hot dogs.
- 157
- 00:12:23,667 --> 00:12:26,100
- I'd get two everythings.
- 158
- 00:12:26,102 --> 00:12:27,069
- He'd get a chili dog.
- 159
- 00:12:27,071 --> 00:12:31,774
- We'd both get lemonades,
- and then we'd walk home.
- 160
- 00:12:31,776 --> 00:12:33,877
- It didn't matter what it was
- like out weather-wise.
- 161
- 00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:39,083
- Eating our hot dogs, you know,
- talking about this and that.
- 162
- 00:12:39,085 --> 00:12:40,251
- Even in the rain.
- 163
- 00:12:40,253 --> 00:12:44,756
- We considered it good luck
- to eat a hot dog in the rain.
- 164
- 00:12:46,059 --> 00:12:49,595
- Once Walker got done
- with his lemonade,
- 165
- 00:12:49,597 --> 00:12:53,766
- he'd hold my hand
- up till he was around 10 or so,
- 166
- 00:12:53,768 --> 00:12:55,101
- and then he quit.
- 167
- 00:12:55,103 --> 00:12:57,204
- Well, the time's gonna come
- 168
- 00:12:57,206 --> 00:13:00,774
- when a boy eventually lets go
- of his mama's hand.
- 169
- 00:13:03,513 --> 00:13:09,752
- When he was getting
- his business plan together
- 170
- 00:13:09,754 --> 00:13:10,820
- for grad school,
- 171
- 00:13:10,822 --> 00:13:14,156
- he wanted to start a chain
- of family restaurants
- 172
- 00:13:14,158 --> 00:13:15,792
- where you can make
- your own hot dog,
- 173
- 00:13:15,794 --> 00:13:18,896
- and I thought to myself,
- I took this child to museums
- 174
- 00:13:18,898 --> 00:13:20,965
- and read him good books
- and paid for cello lessons,
- 175
- 00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:23,034
- and all he's hanging onto
- is the hot dogs.
- 176
- 00:13:23,036 --> 00:13:27,706
- Well, he had his own ideas
- about what he wanted to do.
- 177
- 00:13:28,608 --> 00:13:31,744
- He worked the whole thing out,
- real detailed.
- 178
- 00:13:31,746 --> 00:13:36,550
- I know, 'cause
- I typed it up for him.
- 179
- 00:13:36,552 --> 00:13:38,853
- And then his professor
- handed it back
- 180
- 00:13:38,855 --> 00:13:41,222
- and told him that business plan
- was never gonna fly.
- 181
- 00:13:41,224 --> 00:13:45,827
- Was that the professor
- you stared at real hard
- 182
- 00:13:45,829 --> 00:13:49,031
- when he parked his Honda
- by the light downtown and then,
- 183
- 00:13:49,033 --> 00:13:53,202
- poof, his engine died?
- 184
- 00:13:56,106 --> 00:14:00,277
- Yeah.
- He was only 24.
- 185
- 00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:05,650
- If I could've gotten him
- over that hump.
- 186
- 00:14:05,652 --> 00:14:11,023
- If... if I could've
- just helped him...
- 187
- 00:14:11,025 --> 00:14:11,958
- Get a little further.
- 188
- 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,695
- If he even made it to 30,
- he would've been okay.
- 189
- 00:14:14,697 --> 00:14:17,698
- I know.
- I know you believe that.
- 190
- 00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:24,339
- But you just gotta quit blaming
- yourself eventually, baby.
- 191
- 00:14:53,974 --> 00:14:55,775
- Mm.
- 192
- 00:14:56,276 --> 00:14:57,244
- Here.
- 193
- 00:14:57,246 --> 00:14:59,847
- Oh,<i> that</i> asshole.
- 194
- 00:14:59,849 --> 00:15:01,181
- Oh, yeah, that guy.
- 195
- 00:15:01,183 --> 00:15:03,151
- You know, he used to come
- into the bar
- 196
- 00:15:03,153 --> 00:15:06,154
- and try and order expensive
- bottles of champagne
- 197
- 00:15:06,156 --> 00:15:08,089
- he knew damn well
- we didn't carry.
- 198
- 00:15:08,091 --> 00:15:09,759
- He drove by in his Audi
- blasting rap music
- 199
- 00:15:09,761 --> 00:15:12,361
- and hollering at Walker
- when he was cutting your grass.
- 200
- 00:15:12,363 --> 00:15:17,334
- I forgot all about that.
- Watch those crumbs, Clay.
- 201
- 00:15:17,336 --> 00:15:18,101
- Honey, I mean,
- 202
- 00:15:18,103 --> 00:15:21,806
- even if he stole Walker's idea,
- you can't prove it.
- 203
- 00:15:21,808 --> 00:15:25,043
- If I can find a copy of Walker's
- old business plan, I can.
- 204
- 00:15:25,045 --> 00:15:26,945
- What are you gonna do?
- You gonna sue him?
- 205
- 00:15:26,947 --> 00:15:28,280
- You want his money?
- 206
- 00:15:28,282 --> 00:15:29,748
- That's not what I want.
- 207
- 00:15:29,750 --> 00:15:32,151
- Clayton: Why not?
- You could use it.
- 208
- 00:15:32,153 --> 00:15:33,687
- Maybe.
- 209
- 00:15:33,689 --> 00:15:36,456
- That's not what I'm after.
- 210
- 00:15:36,458 --> 00:15:39,927
- When Byrd called me,
- it was like something...
- 211
- 00:15:39,929 --> 00:15:45,000
- I don't know, I don't know
- how to describe it.
- 212
- 00:15:45,002 --> 00:15:48,804
- It was like something
- filled up this room.
- 213
- 00:15:48,806 --> 00:15:51,240
- It was pushing at the walls,
- 214
- 00:15:51,242 --> 00:15:54,977
- like they were vibrating
- or something.
- 215
- 00:15:54,979 --> 00:15:58,982
- I felt Walker's presence
- in here so strong.
- 216
- 00:15:58,984 --> 00:16:04,189
- I hadn't felt that way
- since the night he died.
- 217
- 00:16:04,191 --> 00:16:09,161
- Every molecule of me
- was alive to him.
- 218
- 00:16:11,098 --> 00:16:12,331
- He was calling to me.
- 219
- 00:16:12,333 --> 00:16:17,504
- What else can I do
- except try to answer?
- 220
- 00:16:31,821 --> 00:16:33,790
- Darcy Baylor.
- My, what a surprise.
- 221
- 00:16:33,792 --> 00:16:36,493
- Hey, sue Anne, your yard's
- sure looking gorgeous.
- 222
- 00:16:36,495 --> 00:16:40,297
- Aren't you worried about getting
- ticketed for the sprinklers?
- 223
- 00:16:40,299 --> 00:16:42,366
- Oh, we aren't
- on water restrictions
- 224
- 00:16:42,368 --> 00:16:43,768
- here in the heights.
- 225
- 00:16:43,770 --> 00:16:45,137
- What can I help you with, Darcy?
- 226
- 00:16:45,139 --> 00:16:47,973
- Well, actually,
- I'm looking for Kevin.
- 227
- 00:16:47,975 --> 00:16:49,775
- Well, he and Beth and the boys
- 228
- 00:16:49,777 --> 00:16:51,511
- headed back to Alabama
- around dawn.
- 229
- 00:16:51,513 --> 00:16:55,248
- I need to speak with him
- about something.
- 230
- 00:16:55,250 --> 00:16:58,418
- Maybe you could just give me
- his number then.
- 231
- 00:16:59,354 --> 00:17:02,490
- Um, try "zipper."
- 232
- 00:17:03,225 --> 00:17:05,059
- That's not it either.
- 233
- 00:17:05,061 --> 00:17:06,294
- What about "Interpol"?
- 234
- 00:17:06,296 --> 00:17:07,162
- Some kind of joke?
- 235
- 00:17:07,164 --> 00:17:11,100
- It's the name
- of his favorite band.
- 236
- 00:17:11,102 --> 00:17:12,201
- Mm-mm.
- 237
- 00:17:12,203 --> 00:17:13,435
- "Asimov."
- 238
- 00:17:13,437 --> 00:17:16,807
- - What? What?
- - "Asimov."
- 239
- 00:17:16,809 --> 00:17:17,207
- Uh-uh.
- 240
- 00:17:17,209 --> 00:17:21,479
- There's got to be some kind
- of code you can crack.
- 241
- 00:17:21,481 --> 00:17:24,348
- It's encrypted,
- I mean, you gotta figure out
- 242
- 00:17:24,350 --> 00:17:25,817
- the password he
- would've used, Darcy.
- 243
- 00:17:25,819 --> 00:17:28,987
- - Otherwise nothing I can do.
- - "Periwinkle."
- 244
- 00:17:28,989 --> 00:17:29,822
- "Periwinkle"?
- 245
- 00:17:29,824 --> 00:17:33,092
- You sure you don't
- have a single hard copy
- 246
- 00:17:33,094 --> 00:17:33,993
- of that thing anywhere?
- 247
- 00:17:33,995 --> 00:17:37,463
- Those aren't the kinds
- of things I held onto.
- 248
- 00:17:46,876 --> 00:17:47,943
- - Cinnamon roll.
- - Yeah.
- 249
- 00:17:47,945 --> 00:17:50,913
- - Look, I'll cut to the chase, Clay.
- - Okay.
- 250
- 00:17:50,915 --> 00:17:53,416
- I need that thing you been
- holding for me.
- 251
- 00:17:53,418 --> 00:17:55,384
- I'm sorry, what thing?
- 252
- 00:17:55,386 --> 00:17:58,155
- That bag.
- 253
- 00:17:59,257 --> 00:18:00,624
- From the police.
- 254
- 00:18:00,626 --> 00:18:03,862
- Why do you need that right now?
- 255
- 00:18:05,297 --> 00:18:07,866
- I just feel like
- maybe it's time.
- 256
- 00:18:07,868 --> 00:18:10,336
- Time to use what's in the bag?
- 257
- 00:18:10,338 --> 00:18:14,273
- It's just I'm ready
- to take it back now.
- 258
- 00:18:15,910 --> 00:18:17,377
- Yeah?
- 259
- 00:18:19,347 --> 00:18:21,415
- I don't think so.
- 260
- 00:18:21,417 --> 00:18:26,622
- You do know that it's my job
- to protect you from you.
- 261
- 00:18:26,624 --> 00:18:31,059
- In fact, I could make it
- my full-time vocation.
- 262
- 00:18:31,061 --> 00:18:33,429
- Please.
- 263
- 00:18:33,431 --> 00:18:35,632
- Just give it to me.
- 264
- 00:18:57,692 --> 00:18:59,426
- Man: Stop!
- You stop right there!
- 265
- 00:18:59,428 --> 00:19:02,430
- I'm calling the cops!
- You're trespassing!
- 266
- 00:19:02,432 --> 00:19:03,564
- Sorry, I-I-I...
- 267
- 00:19:03,566 --> 00:19:06,067
- Man: Who are you?!
- What're you doing here?!
- 268
- 00:19:06,069 --> 00:19:07,068
- My name's Darcy Baylor.
- 269
- 00:19:07,070 --> 00:19:10,406
- I just... I knew somebody
- who used to live in this house.
- 270
- 00:19:10,408 --> 00:19:14,277
- Whoa.
- Walker's mom?
- 271
- 00:19:14,946 --> 00:19:20,251
- So when mark moved out,
- his dad let me stay on.
- 272
- 00:19:20,253 --> 00:19:21,552
- Figure they got so much money,
- 273
- 00:19:21,554 --> 00:19:25,289
- forgot they even owned
- the place, you know?
- 274
- 00:19:25,291 --> 00:19:30,262
- Some accountant pays
- the taxes once a year.
- 275
- 00:19:30,264 --> 00:19:31,430
- It's all good.
- 276
- 00:19:31,432 --> 00:19:35,168
- You got some needle and thread,
- I could mend that for you.
- 277
- 00:19:37,338 --> 00:19:39,306
- You still talk to mark?
- 278
- 00:19:39,308 --> 00:19:42,609
- No, nope, we're not in touch.
- 279
- 00:19:47,650 --> 00:19:49,250
- Dennis?
- 280
- 00:19:49,252 --> 00:19:51,454
- I need you to think back
- 281
- 00:19:51,456 --> 00:19:55,992
- to around the time that...
- That Walker died.
- 282
- 00:19:58,596 --> 00:20:02,200
- About how he was acting,
- how mark was acting,
- 283
- 00:20:02,202 --> 00:20:06,738
- what might've been going on
- between those two.
- 284
- 00:20:08,475 --> 00:20:11,276
- Dennis.
- 285
- 00:20:13,346 --> 00:20:14,179
- I don't know.
- 286
- 00:20:14,181 --> 00:20:17,417
- There weren't any bad vibes
- or anything.
- 287
- 00:20:17,419 --> 00:20:18,084
- Uh-huh.
- 288
- 00:20:18,086 --> 00:20:20,020
- I'd have picked up on it
- if there was.
- 289
- 00:20:20,022 --> 00:20:21,489
- - Yeah, of course.
- - You know?
- 290
- 00:20:21,491 --> 00:20:26,060
- I mean, Walker was kind of
- a mess that day, but...
- 291
- 00:20:26,062 --> 00:20:28,563
- Wait, what day?
- 292
- 00:20:28,565 --> 00:20:29,598
- Well...
- 293
- 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,100
- You know, the day he, uh...
- 294
- 00:20:32,102 --> 00:20:34,570
- Walker came out here
- the day he died?
- 295
- 00:20:34,572 --> 00:20:35,538
- Yeah.
- 296
- 00:20:35,540 --> 00:20:37,807
- Well, how come none of you boys
- ever told me that?
- 297
- 00:20:37,809 --> 00:20:40,711
- You never asked.
- Why are you asking now?
- 298
- 00:20:40,713 --> 00:20:42,579
- It's been, what,
- six years or something?
- 299
- 00:20:42,581 --> 00:20:45,383
- Seven.
- Just tell me.
- 300
- 00:20:47,053 --> 00:20:48,787
- Okay.
- 301
- 00:20:51,291 --> 00:20:53,225
- Well...
- 302
- 00:20:53,227 --> 00:20:54,693
- I remember it was hot,
- 303
- 00:20:54,695 --> 00:20:57,464
- hot and dry
- like it's been lately.
- 304
- 00:20:57,466 --> 00:21:01,435
- Walker dragged his ass
- all the way in from town.
- 305
- 00:21:01,437 --> 00:21:04,172
- Tried to hitch, but
- nobody'd pick him up.
- 306
- 00:21:04,174 --> 00:21:06,741
- That's why he had the blisters.
- 307
- 00:21:06,743 --> 00:21:09,278
- And when Walker got here,
- 308
- 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,082
- he and mark went back
- into mark's room.
- 309
- 00:21:13,084 --> 00:21:15,118
- They were doing lines.
- 310
- 00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:16,419
- I guess.
- 311
- 00:21:16,421 --> 00:21:17,253
- Come on, Dennis.
- 312
- 00:21:17,255 --> 00:21:20,758
- Mark, he always had it,
- you know?
- 313
- 00:21:21,660 --> 00:21:24,562
- But the weird thing was,
- 314
- 00:21:24,564 --> 00:21:28,533
- when Walker came out
- of mark's room, he had...
- 315
- 00:21:29,869 --> 00:21:31,837
- What?
- 316
- 00:21:33,607 --> 00:21:36,843
- He had... he had a box
- of bullets in his hand.
- 317
- 00:23:10,587 --> 00:23:12,621
- <i>You know, back when I was
- in business school,</i>
- 318
- 00:23:12,623 --> 00:23:15,625
- <i>my professor told me
- my plan wasn't going to cut it.</i>
- 319
- 00:23:15,627 --> 00:23:18,561
- <i>A restaurant
- that's all about hot dogs?</i>
- 320
- 00:23:18,563 --> 00:23:19,762
- <i>Who would go eat there?</i>
- 321
- 00:23:19,764 --> 00:23:21,966
- <i>But when I was a boy,
- my mama and me would get</i>
- 322
- 00:23:21,968 --> 00:23:24,368
- <i>a hot dog at the corner store
- every Saturday</i>
- 323
- 00:23:24,370 --> 00:23:26,638
- <i>just like clockwork,
- even if it was raining.</i>
- 324
- 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,975
- <i>We considered that good luck,
- eating a hot dog in the rain,</i>
- 325
- 00:23:29,977 --> 00:23:31,943
- <i>and I knew if I just honored
- that memory,</i>
- 326
- 00:23:31,945 --> 00:23:35,581
- <i>well, sir, everything was gonna
- be just fine.</i>
- 327
- 00:23:38,988 --> 00:23:41,722
- Did you ever go all the way
- through that site to where
- 328
- 00:23:41,724 --> 00:23:44,425
- mark Wright's talking about
- how he started that business?
- 329
- 00:23:44,427 --> 00:23:44,892
- Mm-mm.
- 330
- 00:23:44,894 --> 00:23:48,930
- He took every little bit
- of Walker, every last bit,
- 331
- 00:23:48,932 --> 00:23:51,333
- and he is on that thing
- bragging about it,
- 332
- 00:23:51,335 --> 00:23:51,934
- celebrating it.
- 333
- 00:23:51,936 --> 00:23:54,303
- That's why I'm headed
- to New Orleans in the morning.
- 334
- 00:23:54,305 --> 00:23:55,904
- - What? No, you're not.
- - Oh, yes, I am.
- 335
- 00:23:55,906 --> 00:23:57,774
- Well, then I'm coming with you.
- 336
- 00:23:57,776 --> 00:24:01,745
- Byrd.
- I want you to come.
- 337
- 00:24:01,747 --> 00:24:04,949
- Geri and I bought tickets for
- that concert in Atlanta tomorrow.
- 338
- 00:24:04,951 --> 00:24:07,051
- Geri: And you got that
- big project due for Colin.
- 339
- 00:24:07,053 --> 00:24:10,422
- Well, I'll stay up tonight
- and finish it.
- 340
- 00:24:10,424 --> 00:24:12,457
- Come here.
- 341
- 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,361
- I mean,
- what are you gonna do, baby?
- 342
- 00:24:15,363 --> 00:24:16,963
- You gonna wave that gun
- in his face
- 343
- 00:24:16,965 --> 00:24:18,298
- and tell him to apologize?
- 344
- 00:24:18,300 --> 00:24:21,435
- Come on.
- That's just pure foolishness.
- 345
- 00:24:21,437 --> 00:24:22,936
- That's the last thing
- you need to be doing.
- 346
- 00:24:22,938 --> 00:24:24,538
- You don't know what
- I need to be doing.
- 347
- 00:24:24,540 --> 00:24:25,873
- Stop bossing me around.
- Jesus Christ.
- 348
- 00:24:25,875 --> 00:24:28,043
- That's why I broke up with you
- in the first place.
- 349
- 00:24:28,045 --> 00:24:29,444
- No. No, it's not.
- No, it's not.
- 350
- 00:24:29,446 --> 00:24:32,014
- No, it's not why you broke up
- with me, and you know it.
- 351
- 00:24:32,016 --> 00:24:35,017
- You couldn't commit to a man
- who loves you.
- 352
- 00:24:35,019 --> 00:24:37,853
- You... you couldn't commit
- to a man who loves you
- 353
- 00:24:37,855 --> 00:24:39,589
- and who asked you to marry him.
- 354
- 00:24:39,591 --> 00:24:41,391
- And you been avoiding me
- as of late.
- 355
- 00:24:41,393 --> 00:24:42,926
- And why is that, Darcy?
- You know why?
- 356
- 00:24:42,928 --> 00:24:46,764
- Because, because you're stuck.
- You're stuck,
- 357
- 00:24:46,766 --> 00:24:51,070
- and you're so goddamn stubborn,
- you can't even see it.
- 358
- 00:25:04,619 --> 00:25:06,354
- Look, I get why you're so upset,
- 359
- 00:25:06,356 --> 00:25:08,657
- and why you think you gotta go
- settle this thing
- 360
- 00:25:08,659 --> 00:25:10,559
- right this second,
- but think it through.
- 361
- 00:25:10,561 --> 00:25:13,829
- Ask for the days off.
- Don't just take them.
- 362
- 00:25:13,831 --> 00:25:15,064
- Don't risk your job.
- 363
- 00:25:15,066 --> 00:25:16,466
- That's what pays the bills,
- right?
- 364
- 00:25:16,468 --> 00:25:19,068
- That's what's gonna get you
- your degree.
- 365
- 00:25:19,070 --> 00:25:21,572
- I didn't put in my application.
- 366
- 00:25:21,574 --> 00:25:23,674
- What?
- 367
- 00:25:23,676 --> 00:25:25,676
- It was due last week.
- 368
- 00:25:25,678 --> 00:25:28,146
- I know that.
- I know.
- 369
- 00:25:28,148 --> 00:25:32,518
- But I didn't put it in.
- Okay?
- 370
- 00:25:36,857 --> 00:25:39,726
- And I'm not gonna wait, Byrd.
- 371
- 00:25:43,131 --> 00:25:44,699
- I can't.
- 372
- 00:25:52,842 --> 00:25:54,977
- Oh, Darce.
- 373
- 00:26:44,002 --> 00:26:47,138
- Man on radio: <i>Temperatures
- are gonna hit 98 by midday,</i>
- 374
- 00:26:47,140 --> 00:26:49,674
- <i>but with that nasty old
- heat index,</i>
- 375
- 00:26:49,676 --> 00:26:51,543
- <i>it's gonna feel more like 105.</i>
- 376
- 00:26:51,545 --> 00:26:54,480
- Jesus Christ, we're not
- crossing the Atlantic.
- 377
- 00:26:54,482 --> 00:26:55,147
- I like to have options.
- 378
- 00:26:55,149 --> 00:26:56,883
- Let her bring whatever
- she damn well feels like.
- 379
- 00:26:56,885 --> 00:27:00,019
- <i>We're going to be talking
- to local farmer Roy Johnston.</i>
- 380
- 00:27:00,021 --> 00:27:04,492
- <i>Roy spent $82,000
- so far this year...</i>
- 381
- 00:27:04,494 --> 00:27:06,861
- Oh, my goodness, stop.
- 382
- 00:27:06,863 --> 00:27:08,163
- Bye.
- 383
- 00:27:08,165 --> 00:27:09,965
- I'm gonna miss you.
- 384
- 00:27:09,967 --> 00:27:12,834
- <i>Now that it's getting
- on harvest time.</i>
- 385
- 00:27:12,836 --> 00:27:14,136
- <i>No matter how much water</i>
- 386
- 00:27:14,138 --> 00:27:15,705
- <i>they're throwing at the problem,</i>
- 387
- 00:27:15,707 --> 00:27:17,673
- <i>farmers everywhere
- are seeing their crops</i>
- 388
- 00:27:17,675 --> 00:27:21,278
- <i>just rot and wither on the vine.</i>
- 389
- 00:27:54,918 --> 00:27:58,254
- I want you to see if what I
- figured out makes sense to you.
- 390
- 00:27:58,256 --> 00:27:59,956
- We can just use Google maps on
- my phone, Darcy.
- 391
- 00:27:59,958 --> 00:28:03,060
- You don't need some method of
- navigation from the mesozoic era.
- 392
- 00:28:03,062 --> 00:28:06,797
- I like to see the roads
- laid out in front of me
- 393
- 00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:08,233
- on one piece of paper.
- 394
- 00:28:08,235 --> 00:28:09,968
- Why are we going so far
- west of the Mississippi?
- 395
- 00:28:09,970 --> 00:28:11,903
- Look, it'd be faster if we
- just stayed on the interstate
- 396
- 00:28:11,905 --> 00:28:15,241
- all the way down through Alabama
- into Mississippi and Louisiana.
- 397
- 00:28:15,243 --> 00:28:19,211
- I hate those goddamn trucks.
- You know?
- 398
- 00:28:19,213 --> 00:28:20,747
- I want to do back roads.
- 399
- 00:28:20,749 --> 00:28:22,583
- And I got a friend
- who lives in meridian.
- 400
- 00:28:22,585 --> 00:28:25,887
- We can spend the night
- with her and save on a motel.
- 401
- 00:28:25,889 --> 00:28:27,055
- Who do you know in meridian?
- 402
- 00:28:27,057 --> 00:28:30,792
- Mary Lou Healy,
- married name Mary Lou Powell.
- 403
- 00:28:30,794 --> 00:28:33,362
- Got divorced,
- took back her Healy.
- 404
- 00:28:34,898 --> 00:28:36,699
- I grew up in meridian.
- 405
- 00:28:36,701 --> 00:28:39,336
- I didn't know about meridian.
- 406
- 00:28:41,172 --> 00:28:43,340
- You know what wordsmith's
- word of the day is?
- 407
- 00:28:43,342 --> 00:28:45,610
- Delphian, kinda rhymes
- with meridian, right?
- 408
- 00:28:45,612 --> 00:28:47,345
- It's doesn't kinda rhyme.
- Rhymes.
- 409
- 00:28:47,347 --> 00:28:49,213
- Kind of.
- There's a syllabic problem.
- 410
- 00:28:49,215 --> 00:28:49,848
- Uh-huh.
- 411
- 00:28:49,850 --> 00:28:52,751
- It means ambiguous,
- cryptic, incomprehensible,
- 412
- 00:28:52,753 --> 00:28:54,620
- indecipherable, inexplicable.
- 413
- 00:28:54,622 --> 00:28:57,090
- It always also means
- goddamn annoying.
- 414
- 00:29:41,375 --> 00:29:44,745
- Look, if we're gonna be stuck in
- this truck for a couple of days
- 415
- 00:29:44,747 --> 00:29:46,447
- staring at a piece of paper
- and lacking any kind
- 416
- 00:29:46,449 --> 00:29:49,383
- of proper cooling system,
- we're gonna have to talk,
- 417
- 00:29:49,385 --> 00:29:51,753
- and I don't just mean
- about our jobs
- 418
- 00:29:51,755 --> 00:29:54,856
- or whether you should
- or should not get a new car,
- 419
- 00:29:54,858 --> 00:29:55,825
- which in fact you should,
- 420
- 00:29:55,827 --> 00:29:58,461
- or whether I'm an actual lesbian
- or just a dabbler.
- 421
- 00:29:58,463 --> 00:29:59,762
- - Dabbler.
- - What the hell?
- 422
- 00:29:59,764 --> 00:30:03,767
- I'm teasing, but you know,
- you slept with men.
- 423
- 00:30:03,769 --> 00:30:04,768
- Yes, at one time.
- 424
- 00:30:04,770 --> 00:30:08,306
- I could care less
- who you do it with, Byrd.
- 425
- 00:30:08,308 --> 00:30:09,474
- It's not about who I do it with.
- 426
- 00:30:09,476 --> 00:30:12,977
- Don't make light of what I have with
- Geri, 'cause I sure as hell don't.
- 427
- 00:30:12,979 --> 00:30:15,481
- - Is that how you think about Clayton?
- - Oh.
- 428
- 00:30:15,483 --> 00:30:16,982
- My point is
- y'all lived together once.
- 429
- 00:30:16,984 --> 00:30:18,751
- I thought you liked
- having him in your house.
- 430
- 00:30:18,753 --> 00:30:22,289
- No, no, I did not.
- It... it made me crazy.
- 431
- 00:30:22,291 --> 00:30:25,058
- He never put anything
- back in the right place.
- 432
- 00:30:25,060 --> 00:30:26,928
- But you liked
- waking up with him.
- 433
- 00:30:26,930 --> 00:30:31,466
- Hmm.
- I'm not catching your drift.
- 434
- 00:30:47,219 --> 00:30:49,253
- Hey, you got
- any extra sunglasses?
- 435
- 00:30:49,255 --> 00:30:51,757
- Oh, look in my bag.
- 436
- 00:31:02,771 --> 00:31:03,437
- Put that back.
- 437
- 00:31:03,439 --> 00:31:06,540
- Tell me this is what
- Clayton keeps behind the bar.
- 438
- 00:31:06,542 --> 00:31:07,474
- It is not.
- 439
- 00:31:07,476 --> 00:31:10,478
- Tell me that this
- isn't the same gun.
- 440
- 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,380
- It is.
- 441
- 00:31:23,294 --> 00:31:24,461
- Now you listen to me,
- Darcy Baylor.
- 442
- 00:31:24,463 --> 00:31:27,398
- I'm the only one who got behind
- this crazy journey of yours
- 443
- 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,433
- because I do understand
- why you gotta see it through.
- 444
- 00:31:29,435 --> 00:31:31,068
- If somebody's wronged you
- or somebody you love,
- 445
- 00:31:31,070 --> 00:31:34,139
- you're gonna get up in that
- person's face till they yield
- 446
- 00:31:34,141 --> 00:31:35,073
- to your indomitable will.
- 447
- 00:31:35,075 --> 00:31:37,844
- That's not the way I tend to do
- things or even the way I'd want
- 448
- 00:31:37,846 --> 00:31:41,514
- to do things if I could,
- but I do respect you for it.
- 449
- 00:31:41,516 --> 00:31:44,084
- All right,
- so I'm here for moral support.
- 450
- 00:31:44,086 --> 00:31:46,153
- I haven't any idea what's
- gonna lie at the end of this,
- 451
- 00:31:46,155 --> 00:31:49,089
- but I'm not accompanying you
- on some mission of violence.
- 452
- 00:31:49,091 --> 00:31:51,059
- Who said anything
- about a mission of violence?
- 453
- 00:31:51,061 --> 00:31:54,529
- Jesus Christ, Byrd, you're
- so melodramatic sometimes.
- 454
- 00:31:54,531 --> 00:31:56,899
- Why do you need to bring a gun
- if you don't plan on using it?
- 455
- 00:31:56,901 --> 00:31:59,168
- I didn't say I<i> don't</i> plan
- on using it.
- 456
- 00:31:59,170 --> 00:32:01,037
- I'm asking you
- about your intentions.
- 457
- 00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:05,142
- My intention is to make
- Birmingham by lunchtime.
- 458
- 00:32:48,226 --> 00:32:49,995
- Kevin:
- <i>I'm sorry, Ms. Baylor,</i>
- 459
- 00:32:49,997 --> 00:32:51,930
- I did fully intend
- to get back to you.
- 460
- 00:32:51,932 --> 00:32:53,565
- There was no need
- for you to come
- 461
- 00:32:53,567 --> 00:32:55,200
- all the way down here
- to my place of business.
- 462
- 00:32:55,202 --> 00:32:58,104
- Just wanted to talk
- face to face, that's all, Kevin.
- 463
- 00:32:58,106 --> 00:33:00,206
- I don't know why you've went
- 464
- 00:33:00,208 --> 00:33:04,077
- and drug Ms. Ritt
- along with you.
- 465
- 00:33:04,079 --> 00:33:05,412
- Right.
- 466
- 00:33:05,414 --> 00:33:08,616
- So, uh...
- Can you tell me what is it
- 467
- 00:33:08,618 --> 00:33:10,351
- you think I can help you with
- regarding Walker?
- 468
- 00:33:10,353 --> 00:33:15,224
- So this was taken just a little
- bit before Walker died, right?
- 469
- 00:33:15,226 --> 00:33:15,991
- I think so, yeah.
- 470
- 00:33:15,993 --> 00:33:20,096
- Okay, so obviously,
- you and Walker, mark Wright,
- 471
- 00:33:20,098 --> 00:33:21,932
- Dennis, and...
- And who's that?
- 472
- 00:33:21,934 --> 00:33:25,135
- Ah, that's Buford.
- Buford Lapierre.
- 473
- 00:33:25,137 --> 00:33:25,670
- Who?
- 474
- 00:33:25,672 --> 00:33:27,538
- He got a full ride
- to the act school
- 475
- 00:33:27,540 --> 00:33:29,073
- on account of being a Cajun.
- 476
- 00:33:29,075 --> 00:33:30,308
- He was renting out
- the back room.
- 477
- 00:33:30,310 --> 00:33:32,377
- We didn't know him so well.
- 478
- 00:33:32,379 --> 00:33:37,282
- See, Dennis told me that Walker
- came out there the day he died.
- 479
- 00:33:37,284 --> 00:33:39,552
- Were you around, too?
- 480
- 00:33:39,554 --> 00:33:41,554
- Yes, ma'am, I was.
- 481
- 00:33:41,556 --> 00:33:45,225
- And Dennis told me that Walker
- left that house
- 482
- 00:33:45,227 --> 00:33:47,227
- with a box of bullets.
- 483
- 00:33:47,229 --> 00:33:49,063
- - Remember that?
- - No.
- 484
- 00:33:49,065 --> 00:33:50,999
- Dennis says mark
- gave them to him.
- 485
- 00:33:51,001 --> 00:33:53,001
- Now why in the world
- would mark do that?
- 486
- 00:33:53,003 --> 00:33:54,636
- So he could take
- Walker's business plan
- 487
- 00:33:54,638 --> 00:33:56,672
- - and run away with it maybe?
- - Far as I know,
- 488
- 00:33:56,674 --> 00:33:58,674
- mark's made his money
- fair and square.
- 489
- 00:33:58,676 --> 00:34:02,679
- I mean, look, even if Walker
- came up with an idea,
- 490
- 00:34:02,681 --> 00:34:05,349
- doesn't mean he could've
- implemented it, right?
- 491
- 00:34:05,351 --> 00:34:06,550
- It's not like he copyrighted it.
- 492
- 00:34:06,552 --> 00:34:09,520
- - Are you even serious?
- - All I'm saying is it takes
- 493
- 00:34:09,522 --> 00:34:12,223
- a certain drive,
- a certain vision to take an idea
- 494
- 00:34:12,225 --> 00:34:14,593
- and make it succeed,
- and while mark...
- 495
- 00:34:14,595 --> 00:34:16,695
- Oh, I'd stop right there
- if I were you.
- 496
- 00:34:16,697 --> 00:34:18,697
- Kevin Jenkins, I can't believe
- 497
- 00:34:18,699 --> 00:34:20,433
- you came to my house
- for sleepovers
- 498
- 00:34:20,435 --> 00:34:24,037
- more times than I can count
- all through high school,
- 499
- 00:34:24,039 --> 00:34:25,740
- and me cooking
- pancake breakfasts.
- 500
- 00:34:25,742 --> 00:34:28,009
- You could play guitars
- real loud.
- 501
- 00:34:28,011 --> 00:34:29,543
- After you let Walker
- quit violin.
- 502
- 00:34:29,545 --> 00:34:30,544
- It was cello.
- 503
- 00:34:30,546 --> 00:34:34,216
- Point is, it was more of
- a free atmosphere for you boys.
- 504
- 00:34:34,218 --> 00:34:35,217
- You could have a little fun,
- 505
- 00:34:35,219 --> 00:34:37,419
- unlike at your mama's house
- up in the heights.
- 506
- 00:34:37,421 --> 00:34:38,755
- At least my mama
- wasn't having parties
- 507
- 00:34:38,757 --> 00:34:41,691
- and dancing around in the garden
- and refusing to put in a shower.
- 508
- 00:34:41,693 --> 00:34:44,428
- Walker had to take a bath
- in a damn tub all the time.
- 509
- 00:34:44,430 --> 00:34:47,131
- Clawfoot.
- Stall showers are ugly.
- 510
- 00:34:47,133 --> 00:34:48,399
- He wanted things to be normal.
- 511
- 00:34:48,401 --> 00:34:50,301
- - Normal's overrated.
- - He wanted a normal mom.
- 512
- 00:34:50,303 --> 00:34:54,639
- We're not here to talk about
- your idea of normal, Kevin.
- 513
- 00:34:54,641 --> 00:34:57,777
- Imagine if this happened
- to one of your boys.
- 514
- 00:34:57,779 --> 00:34:59,612
- My boys are being raised
- in a stable,
- 515
- 00:34:59,614 --> 00:35:01,113
- loving, two-parent home.
- 516
- 00:35:01,115 --> 00:35:03,817
- Yeah, that always
- works out great.
- 517
- 00:35:03,819 --> 00:35:07,220
- Try to imagine
- if something did happen.
- 518
- 00:35:16,099 --> 00:35:17,699
- Look...
- 519
- 00:35:17,701 --> 00:35:22,806
- Buford Lapierre was in the room
- with Walker and mark.
- 520
- 00:35:23,541 --> 00:35:26,544
- As far as I know, he moved
- back home after graduation.
- 521
- 00:35:26,546 --> 00:35:28,546
- Maybe you could find him.
- 522
- 00:35:29,081 --> 00:35:32,818
- Not Beaufort like the city.
- Buford, b-u-f-o-r-d.
- 523
- 00:35:32,820 --> 00:35:36,755
- Yeah, Lapierre's the last name,
- spelled like it sounds.
- 524
- 00:35:36,757 --> 00:35:39,092
- It should be in the alumni
- records for that year.
- 525
- 00:35:39,094 --> 00:35:41,861
- Thanks, baby.
- She's looking it up.
- 526
- 00:35:45,266 --> 00:35:46,667
- Yep.
- 527
- 00:35:46,669 --> 00:35:47,334
- Nope.
- 528
- 00:35:47,336 --> 00:35:51,706
- Uh, near Simone city
- on the Atchafalaya river.
- 529
- 00:35:51,708 --> 00:35:53,374
- Simone city.
- 530
- 00:35:53,876 --> 00:35:56,745
- Uh-huh, Geri says she got
- a present for you, Darce.
- 531
- 00:35:56,747 --> 00:35:59,715
- Aw, is it Clayton's balls
- on a platter?
- 532
- 00:35:59,717 --> 00:36:00,716
- Quit ragging on him.
- 533
- 00:36:00,718 --> 00:36:02,786
- You'll be lucky
- if he ever speaks to you again.
- 534
- 00:36:02,788 --> 00:36:07,290
- She just needs a snail mail
- address so she can overnight it.
- 535
- 00:36:15,268 --> 00:36:19,873
- Last time I was
- in meridian was...
- 536
- 00:36:19,875 --> 00:36:22,542
- When my parents died.
- 537
- 00:36:22,544 --> 00:36:23,710
- Walker was six.
- 538
- 00:36:23,712 --> 00:36:25,913
- They died a month apart,
- two funerals, boom boom.
- 539
- 00:36:25,915 --> 00:36:29,283
- Sold the house and contents,
- kept the kitchen table.
- 540
- 00:36:29,285 --> 00:36:29,850
- That was that.
- 541
- 00:36:29,852 --> 00:36:31,620
- So it was like one
- of those stories
- 542
- 00:36:31,622 --> 00:36:33,722
- where a married couple
- loves each other so much,
- 543
- 00:36:33,724 --> 00:36:36,791
- they couldn't bear
- to be separated in death?
- 544
- 00:36:36,793 --> 00:36:37,794
- Nope.
- 545
- 00:36:50,177 --> 00:36:54,679
- Darcy:
- Stop it. Stop it.
- 546
- 00:36:54,681 --> 00:36:57,650
- Oh, my lord.
- Don't go there.
- 547
- 00:36:57,652 --> 00:37:00,619
- Don't even go there.
- 548
- 00:37:00,621 --> 00:37:02,355
- Oh.
- 549
- 00:37:02,357 --> 00:37:04,391
- You want another glass of wine?
- 550
- 00:37:04,393 --> 00:37:05,692
- No, I'm all right.
- 551
- 00:37:05,694 --> 00:37:07,260
- Oh, Byrd's a beer drinker.
- 552
- 00:37:07,262 --> 00:37:09,463
- Well, I haven't had beer
- in my fridge
- 553
- 00:37:09,465 --> 00:37:13,334
- since I got ray freaking Powell
- out of my life.
- 554
- 00:37:15,472 --> 00:37:17,539
- Mr. social Tourette's.
- 555
- 00:37:18,309 --> 00:37:21,711
- He could not keep
- from saying inappropriate things
- 556
- 00:37:21,713 --> 00:37:25,482
- at group gatherings
- in this really loud voice,
- 557
- 00:37:25,484 --> 00:37:29,320
- like he had no idea people were
- standing inches away from him.
- 558
- 00:37:29,322 --> 00:37:31,556
- "Hey, so what's
- the story with Chuck?
- 559
- 00:37:31,558 --> 00:37:34,359
- Is he really checking
- into rehab?"
- 560
- 00:37:35,562 --> 00:37:38,931
- And so on and so forth, oh, my.
- 561
- 00:37:38,933 --> 00:37:40,600
- What an asshole.
- 562
- 00:37:43,271 --> 00:37:45,539
- I hate that smell
- on my furniture.
- 563
- 00:37:45,541 --> 00:37:48,909
- Only out on the balcony,
- and if you do go out,
- 564
- 00:37:48,911 --> 00:37:49,978
- close the slider.
- 565
- 00:37:49,980 --> 00:37:54,015
- I like my condo
- as cold as a Popsicle.
- 566
- 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,288
- It hurts me that you smoke,
- honey.
- 567
- 00:37:59,290 --> 00:38:01,992
- It hurts me<i> not</i> to smoke.
- 568
- 00:38:06,264 --> 00:38:09,500
- Hey, Wes is back in town,
- you know.
- 569
- 00:38:09,502 --> 00:38:10,901
- No, I did not know.
- 570
- 00:38:10,903 --> 00:38:13,338
- Well, I thought Tommy
- would've told you.
- 571
- 00:38:13,340 --> 00:38:14,406
- I don't speak to Tommy.
- 572
- 00:38:14,408 --> 00:38:15,607
- Well, I thought you and Tommy
- 573
- 00:38:15,609 --> 00:38:16,842
- would've patched things up
- by now.
- 574
- 00:38:16,844 --> 00:38:18,777
- I don't speak to a single person
- from that family.
- 575
- 00:38:18,779 --> 00:38:21,848
- Not one of those Sanfords
- came to Walker's service.
- 576
- 00:38:21,850 --> 00:38:23,950
- Well, maybe they were looking
- 577
- 00:38:23,952 --> 00:38:26,487
- to gather in a cemetery
- with a headstone.
- 578
- 00:38:26,489 --> 00:38:28,455
- Maybe they didn't want
- to hear you reading
- 579
- 00:38:28,457 --> 00:38:32,360
- some complicated poem
- out loud at a memorial.
- 580
- 00:38:32,362 --> 00:38:33,395
- It was Keats.
- 581
- 00:38:33,397 --> 00:38:35,530
- Well, whatever, it was poetry.
- 582
- 00:38:35,532 --> 00:38:38,534
- Where's Wes at? Jesus.
- I don't want to run into him.
- 583
- 00:38:38,536 --> 00:38:40,970
- - I might have to kill him.
- - She's got a gun in her truck.
- 584
- 00:38:40,972 --> 00:38:44,074
- - It's a figure a speech.
- - Oh, Darcy, really?
- 585
- 00:38:44,076 --> 00:38:47,444
- Look... Macy brought Wes
- back to meridian
- 586
- 00:38:47,446 --> 00:38:52,517
- a couple months ago,
- and he's not doing so hot.
- 587
- 00:38:52,519 --> 00:38:54,352
- He's over at the oak hill home.
- 588
- 00:38:54,354 --> 00:38:57,890
- What?!
- That's for old people.
- 589
- 00:38:57,892 --> 00:38:59,858
- Well, he's 14 years older
- than you, right?
- 590
- 00:38:59,860 --> 00:39:03,530
- - Do the math.
- - Math's not her strong suit.
- 591
- 00:39:03,532 --> 00:39:04,564
- Oh, I know that, sugar.
- 592
- 00:39:04,566 --> 00:39:07,401
- We went to elementary school
- together.
- 593
- 00:39:07,403 --> 00:39:09,470
- Wes is pushing 70.
- 594
- 00:39:09,472 --> 00:39:12,707
- - Goddamn it.
- - I thought you should know.
- 595
- 00:39:12,709 --> 00:39:15,444
- I mean,
- maybe you wish he was dead,
- 596
- 00:39:15,446 --> 00:39:18,013
- but you still share a history.
- 597
- 00:39:18,015 --> 00:39:22,618
- So, you girls are heading on
- to New Orleans tomorrow?
- 598
- 00:39:22,620 --> 00:39:23,920
- After breakfast, yeah.
- 599
- 00:39:23,922 --> 00:39:25,856
- Mm.
- And then what, Darcy?
- 600
- 00:39:25,858 --> 00:39:28,792
- You're just going to walk
- into this guy's office
- 601
- 00:39:28,794 --> 00:39:31,830
- and tell him that you know
- he took Walker's concept?
- 602
- 00:39:31,832 --> 00:39:34,366
- And what do you suppose
- he's going to say to that?
- 603
- 00:39:34,368 --> 00:39:36,034
- I just need to be in
- the same room with him,
- 604
- 00:39:36,036 --> 00:39:38,971
- look him in the eye,
- then I'll figure it out.
- 605
- 00:39:38,973 --> 00:39:40,639
- I've never been much
- of a planner.
- 606
- 00:39:40,641 --> 00:39:42,441
- I understand you want
- to make things right
- 607
- 00:39:42,443 --> 00:39:44,378
- for Walker, for Walker's sake.
- 608
- 00:39:44,380 --> 00:39:46,813
- You don't think my blood boils
- every time I think
- 609
- 00:39:46,815 --> 00:39:49,851
- of someone causing
- that precious child any pain?
- 610
- 00:39:49,853 --> 00:39:53,888
- Remember when he was two and
- we took him to see the ducks?
- 611
- 00:39:53,890 --> 00:39:56,091
- Quack, quack.
- 612
- 00:39:56,093 --> 00:39:58,460
- Quack, quack.
- 613
- 00:40:02,433 --> 00:40:04,734
- Wes was a nasty drunk.
- 614
- 00:40:04,736 --> 00:40:07,405
- He was beating on her
- all the time.
- 615
- 00:40:07,407 --> 00:40:08,873
- Half the time, she walked around
- 616
- 00:40:08,875 --> 00:40:11,675
- looking like a goddamn raccoon.
- 617
- 00:40:11,677 --> 00:40:15,580
- So one night,
- Darcy just picked up Walker
- 618
- 00:40:15,582 --> 00:40:17,883
- and some clothes and took off.
- 619
- 00:40:17,885 --> 00:40:18,784
- Never looked back.
- 620
- 00:40:18,786 --> 00:40:20,453
- Changed her name back to Baylor,
- 621
- 00:40:20,455 --> 00:40:22,088
- got Walker's name
- changed to Baylor,
- 622
- 00:40:22,090 --> 00:40:26,059
- and then just cut the Sanford
- right out her life.
- 623
- 00:40:26,061 --> 00:40:28,061
- Darcy: It's not like
- I had a choice.
- 624
- 00:40:28,063 --> 00:40:31,733
- Mama and daddy told me
- point blank
- 625
- 00:40:31,735 --> 00:40:32,700
- I couldn't come home,
- 626
- 00:40:32,702 --> 00:40:34,035
- that I had a husband
- and that was that.
- 627
- 00:40:34,037 --> 00:40:36,638
- Well, they took up for Wes,
- it's true.
- 628
- 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,175
- They just didn't know
- any better.
- 629
- 00:40:39,177 --> 00:40:39,775
- Really?
- 630
- 00:40:39,777 --> 00:40:42,111
- Didn't know better
- than to refuse
- 631
- 00:40:42,113 --> 00:40:44,181
- to give their daughter
- and grandbaby a damn penny?
- 632
- 00:40:44,183 --> 00:40:45,982
- You know Wes never paid
- any child support.
- 633
- 00:40:45,984 --> 00:40:49,187
- Only time he'd call
- was when he was all lit up,
- 634
- 00:40:49,189 --> 00:40:52,590
- crying about missing his boy
- and then crying
- 635
- 00:40:52,592 --> 00:40:53,624
- 'cause that boy was dead.
- 636
- 00:40:53,626 --> 00:40:56,695
- - Well, he felt bad about it.
- - Says you.
- 637
- 00:40:56,697 --> 00:40:58,497
- No, Wes is not always a monster.
- 638
- 00:40:58,499 --> 00:41:02,202
- - Is.
- - So Wes is always a monster, your parents were monsters.
- 639
- 00:41:02,204 --> 00:41:04,971
- Everybody who ever did you
- any wrong is a monster.
- 640
- 00:41:04,973 --> 00:41:07,975
- - That's right.
- - Oh, poor, poor pitiful Darcy.
- 641
- 00:41:07,977 --> 00:41:09,910
- Shut up, ml.
- 642
- 00:41:19,590 --> 00:41:21,924
- Byrd: Hey.
- 643
- 00:41:24,027 --> 00:41:25,562
- You okay?
- 644
- 00:41:25,564 --> 00:41:26,964
- Yeah.
- 645
- 00:42:12,050 --> 00:42:13,818
- Darcy?
- 646
- 00:42:15,154 --> 00:42:16,888
- Darce?
- 647
- 00:42:31,307 --> 00:42:33,074
- Oh, my god.
- 648
- 00:42:36,045 --> 00:42:37,846
- Wes.
- 649
- 00:42:41,818 --> 00:42:44,054
- Wes.
- 650
- 00:42:44,056 --> 00:42:46,356
- It's me, Darcy.
- 651
- 00:42:49,828 --> 00:42:52,964
- Okay with you if I sit down?
- 652
- 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,649
- Wes.
- 653
- 00:43:10,952 --> 00:43:12,252
- I don't know if you can
- understand
- 654
- 00:43:12,254 --> 00:43:14,723
- a word I'm about to say,
- 655
- 00:43:14,725 --> 00:43:18,627
- but I came here
- to talk to you about our boy.
- 656
- 00:43:35,114 --> 00:43:37,683
- You recognize this?
- 657
- 00:43:39,419 --> 00:43:42,721
- You said it was part
- of his legacy.
- 658
- 00:43:42,723 --> 00:43:46,026
- It's part of his legacy,
- all right.
- 659
- 00:43:46,028 --> 00:43:47,961
- Remember?
- 660
- 00:43:49,765 --> 00:43:54,669
- You gave it to him
- on the day he was born.
- 661
- 00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,442
- That was your...
- 662
- 00:44:00,444 --> 00:44:02,979
- Idea of a...
- 663
- 00:44:02,981 --> 00:44:05,915
- Baby present, I guess.
- 664
- 00:44:10,021 --> 00:44:11,188
- I was thinking about it
- 665
- 00:44:11,190 --> 00:44:14,726
- Standing out
- on Mary Lou's balcony
- 666
- 00:44:14,728 --> 00:44:15,827
- last night.
- 667
- 00:44:15,829 --> 00:44:19,065
- I can't even explain to you
- what it was like
- 668
- 00:44:19,067 --> 00:44:22,068
- watching that baby shoot
- right out from between my legs
- 669
- 00:44:22,070 --> 00:44:27,007
- when he'd been inside me
- for so long.
- 670
- 00:44:27,009 --> 00:44:29,476
- And then he was there.
- 671
- 00:44:29,911 --> 00:44:34,115
- And when they put him in
- my arms wrapped up so tight,
- 672
- 00:44:34,117 --> 00:44:37,720
- and...
- And I thought, oh...
- 673
- 00:44:37,722 --> 00:44:39,221
- Look at you.
- 674
- 00:44:40,924 --> 00:44:43,493
- You're a dreamer.
- 675
- 00:44:44,929 --> 00:44:47,964
- You're my baby boy.
- 676
- 00:44:50,135 --> 00:44:55,173
- I hope the world doesn't knock
- that sweetness out of you.
- 677
- 00:44:59,846 --> 00:45:01,748
- When I walked into
- the house that night
- 678
- 00:45:01,750 --> 00:45:04,317
- and saw his sneakers
- sitting by the back door,
- 679
- 00:45:04,319 --> 00:45:06,419
- I called out his name.
- 680
- 00:45:06,421 --> 00:45:07,788
- I figured...
- 681
- 00:45:07,790 --> 00:45:11,525
- It was too hot
- in that apartment of his,
- 682
- 00:45:11,527 --> 00:45:14,929
- and he'd come home to cool off.
- 683
- 00:45:16,866 --> 00:45:20,436
- He'd been so anxious.
- 684
- 00:45:20,438 --> 00:45:22,505
- So goddamn anxious all the time.
- 685
- 00:45:22,507 --> 00:45:25,408
- I walked back to check on him
- 686
- 00:45:25,410 --> 00:45:28,512
- and walked into his room.
- 687
- 00:45:29,781 --> 00:45:33,084
- Oh, oh, oh...
- 688
- 00:45:55,479 --> 00:45:57,913
- You hear those birds?
- 689
- 00:45:58,848 --> 00:46:00,549
- Do you?
- 690
- 00:46:02,352 --> 00:46:04,153
- Do you?
- 691
- 00:46:05,889 --> 00:46:08,091
- Do you?
- Do you hear them?
- 692
- 00:46:39,495 --> 00:46:41,597
- Good-bye, Wes.
- 693
- 00:47:12,968 --> 00:47:14,302
- - Hey.
- - Hey, you're back.
- 694
- 00:47:14,304 --> 00:47:19,141
- I just, uh, stepped out
- for a little cup of coffee.
- 695
- 00:47:19,143 --> 00:47:21,176
- This came for you.
- 696
- 00:47:21,178 --> 00:47:23,312
- It's from Geri.
- 697
- 00:47:33,059 --> 00:47:37,129
- But... so Mr. Wright's
- not available
- 698
- 00:47:37,131 --> 00:47:38,463
- until tomorrow morning.
- 699
- 00:47:38,465 --> 00:47:41,266
- You're sure there's nothing
- later today?
- 700
- 00:47:41,268 --> 00:47:43,636
- Darce, I gotta get back.
- I can't stay away that long.
- 701
- 00:47:43,638 --> 00:47:47,674
- Shh, shh!
- Uh-huh, yeah, of course.
- 702
- 00:47:47,676 --> 00:47:49,977
- He's only got
- one spot free tomorrow.
- 703
- 00:47:49,979 --> 00:47:51,378
- I can't do that.
- 704
- 00:47:51,380 --> 00:47:54,348
- Mary Lou: Mm-hmm,
- yeah, well, I'm in meridian,
- 705
- 00:47:54,350 --> 00:47:56,484
- but I have contacts
- in Jackson and Hattiesburg,
- 706
- 00:47:56,486 --> 00:48:01,724
- and we would just love to get
- a Mississippi franchise going.
- 707
- 00:48:01,726 --> 00:48:05,027
- Great. 11:30?
- 708
- 00:48:06,129 --> 00:48:09,099
- Yes, my name is Addie Bundren.
- 709
- 00:48:09,101 --> 00:48:11,468
- Yes, I will see you then.
- 710
- 00:48:11,470 --> 00:48:14,105
- Where in the hell did you get
- that crazy name from?
- 711
- 00:48:14,107 --> 00:48:18,076
- - Faulkner.
- - Relax that smart thing, baby.
- 712
- 00:48:22,615 --> 00:48:26,019
- Why are you always asking me
- to be specific?
- 713
- 00:48:26,021 --> 00:48:27,754
- You know
- that's not how I operate.
- 714
- 00:48:27,756 --> 00:48:30,523
- Oh, I think you're
- very specific, Darcy.
- 715
- 00:48:30,525 --> 00:48:32,560
- You just don't like
- to admit that you are.
- 716
- 00:48:32,562 --> 00:48:35,262
- It goes against the image
- you like to promote.
- 717
- 00:48:35,264 --> 00:48:38,033
- And what's that?
- 718
- 00:48:38,035 --> 00:48:39,735
- Free spirit.
- 719
- 00:48:41,437 --> 00:48:45,441
- I do consider myself
- something of a free spirit.
- 720
- 00:48:45,443 --> 00:48:48,611
- Nothing about
- your spirit is free.
- 721
- 00:49:15,211 --> 00:49:18,246
- - You just have to trust me
- that it was pressing.
- 722
- 00:49:18,248 --> 00:49:19,448
- You know I'm not the type...
- 723
- 00:49:19,450 --> 00:49:24,086
- <i>Please insert 25 cents
- for another three minutes.</i>
- 724
- 00:49:25,523 --> 00:49:29,426
- You know I'm not the type
- of person to just...
- 725
- 00:49:29,428 --> 00:49:32,096
- No, of course I understand.
- 726
- 00:49:32,464 --> 00:49:36,802
- Well, I'll think real hard
- about what you said.
- 727
- 00:49:38,538 --> 00:49:40,238
- All right.
- 728
- 00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:43,076
- See you back in the office.
- 729
- 00:49:50,618 --> 00:49:52,286
- - Want me to wrap that up?
- - Darcy: Oh, yeah.
- 730
- 00:49:52,288 --> 00:49:56,091
- I'd like to finish my food
- if you don't mind.
- 731
- 00:49:57,359 --> 00:50:00,428
- That he was going to have
- to bring in another assistant
- 732
- 00:50:00,430 --> 00:50:02,665
- to fix it,
- and that I know full well
- 733
- 00:50:02,667 --> 00:50:03,799
- what the situation is
- 734
- 00:50:03,801 --> 00:50:06,235
- and do I want to hang onto
- my job or not?
- 735
- 00:50:06,237 --> 00:50:08,171
- - Well, do you?
- - Of course I do.
- 736
- 00:50:08,173 --> 00:50:10,807
- - What about your application?
- - What about it?
- 737
- 00:50:10,809 --> 00:50:11,608
- I talked to Geri.
- 738
- 00:50:11,610 --> 00:50:14,345
- She says if you finish it up
- by Friday, she can sneak it in.
- 739
- 00:50:14,347 --> 00:50:17,515
- You just gotta finish it.
- 740
- 00:50:24,758 --> 00:50:26,860
- I thought you wanted to make
- something more of yourself.
- 741
- 00:50:26,862 --> 00:50:28,495
- That's what
- you've been saying to me
- 742
- 00:50:28,497 --> 00:50:30,130
- for god knows
- how many years now.
- 743
- 00:50:30,132 --> 00:50:32,233
- So don't you sit there
- and just throw up your hands
- 744
- 00:50:32,235 --> 00:50:33,734
- and let this opportunity
- pass you by.
- 745
- 00:50:33,736 --> 00:50:36,370
- You can still fix it.
- Just turn around.
- 746
- 00:50:36,372 --> 00:50:39,307
- And not go find Buford Lapierre?
- 747
- 00:50:39,309 --> 00:50:40,709
- We're only about 25 miles away.
- 748
- 00:50:40,711 --> 00:50:43,779
- Are you suggesting I skip
- going to New Orleans altogether?
- 749
- 00:50:43,781 --> 00:50:46,649
- What the hell did we come
- all this way for then?
- 750
- 00:50:56,929 --> 00:51:00,465
- Man on radio: <i>A couple days ago,
- the army corps of engineers</i>
- 751
- 00:51:00,467 --> 00:51:01,634
- <i>opened up the spillway</i>
- 752
- 00:51:01,636 --> 00:51:04,737
- <i>to take some of the pressure
- off the Mississippi.</i>
- 753
- 00:51:04,739 --> 00:51:06,907
- <i>They divert the excess water</i>
- 754
- 00:51:06,909 --> 00:51:08,441
- <i>right into
- the Atchafalaya river.</i>
- 755
- 00:51:08,443 --> 00:51:11,645
- Man 2: <i>Yeah, and that means
- that the low-lying towns,</i>
- 756
- 00:51:11,647 --> 00:51:12,747
- <i>they just flood out.</i>
- 757
- 00:51:12,749 --> 00:51:14,649
- Man 1: <i>Well, our neighbors
- in the north, Mississippi,</i>
- 758
- 00:51:14,651 --> 00:51:17,785
- <i>Georgia, Alabama,
- and the Carolinas and beyond</i>
- 759
- 00:51:17,787 --> 00:51:19,621
- <i>aren't getting a drop of rain,</i>
- 760
- 00:51:19,623 --> 00:51:22,958
- <i>but down here in Louisiana,
- the low-lying parishes</i>
- 761
- 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,695
- <i>the water's rising real fast,
- folks.</i>
- 762
- 00:51:25,697 --> 00:51:28,198
- <i>So I need ask you,
- what would you take from home</i>
- 763
- 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,369
- <i>if somebody gave you
- just 30 minutes to evacuate?</i>
- 764
- 00:51:33,672 --> 00:51:35,306
- Hey!
- 765
- 00:51:35,308 --> 00:51:37,742
- How do I go about
- getting on that road?
- 766
- 00:51:37,744 --> 00:51:40,378
- - Where are y'all headed?
- - Simone city.
- 767
- 00:51:40,380 --> 00:51:42,480
- No, you can't
- go down there, ma'am.
- 768
- 00:51:42,482 --> 00:51:44,350
- The whole damn parish
- is flooded out.
- 769
- 00:51:44,352 --> 00:51:45,785
- But I got somebody I gotta meet.
- 770
- 00:51:45,787 --> 00:51:48,989
- Well, you got to turn around
- and go back the way you come.
- 771
- 00:51:48,991 --> 00:51:51,391
- Take a left down
- at the end of this road.
- 772
- 00:51:51,393 --> 00:51:51,825
- Uh-huh.
- 773
- 00:51:51,827 --> 00:51:53,727
- Then follow it all
- the way down till it ends again.
- 774
- 00:51:53,729 --> 00:51:56,965
- Then ask somebody where
- the Saint Luke church is.
- 775
- 00:51:56,967 --> 00:51:58,933
- - All right.
- - All right then, yeah?
- 776
- 00:51:58,935 --> 00:52:01,737
- - Thanks a lot.
- - Y'all be careful.
- 777
- 00:52:54,065 --> 00:52:56,534
- Buford Lapierre?
- 778
- 00:53:03,710 --> 00:53:06,613
- Any of y'all know
- a Buford Lapierre?
- 779
- 00:53:06,881 --> 00:53:09,883
- Do y'all know when you
- can get some shelter?
- 780
- 00:53:09,885 --> 00:53:10,917
- Church is full up.
- 781
- 00:53:10,919 --> 00:53:13,087
- They said they're gonna
- bus us somewhere.
- 782
- 00:53:13,089 --> 00:53:16,757
- - Buford Lapierre!
- - Who wants him?
- 783
- 00:53:18,995 --> 00:53:21,530
- They told me my<i> grandpere</i>
- was coming on the next bus.
- 784
- 00:53:21,532 --> 00:53:24,667
- But we ain't seen him.
- My baby's hungry.
- 785
- 00:53:24,669 --> 00:53:26,536
- My wife's trying to get
- her asthma meds.
- 786
- 00:53:26,538 --> 00:53:27,870
- What I'm trying to say
- is that right now,
- 787
- 00:53:27,872 --> 00:53:30,506
- I can't be bothering about
- something out of the past.
- 788
- 00:53:30,508 --> 00:53:32,543
- Ain't no concern of mine.
- 789
- 00:53:32,545 --> 00:53:35,479
- I-I know, it's just...
- 790
- 00:53:35,481 --> 00:53:38,650
- I drove all this way
- to speak with you.
- 791
- 00:53:38,652 --> 00:53:40,352
- So I'm just...
- 792
- 00:53:40,354 --> 00:53:42,688
- I'm asking you kindly
- if you'll recollect
- 793
- 00:53:42,690 --> 00:53:47,393
- - anything about my boy...
- - I recollect what matters to me.
- 794
- 00:53:47,395 --> 00:53:50,130
- No! Please wait.
- 795
- 00:53:52,900 --> 00:53:55,870
- Try to remember how he happened
- 796
- 00:53:55,872 --> 00:54:00,441
- to walk out of that room with
- a box of bullets in his hand.
- 797
- 00:54:02,812 --> 00:54:07,650
- We were partying that night.
- What can I say about that?
- 798
- 00:54:07,652 --> 00:54:09,152
- I'm straight edge now, though.
- 799
- 00:54:09,154 --> 00:54:11,087
- I got nothing to do
- with that stuff.
- 800
- 00:54:11,089 --> 00:54:14,458
- I don't even like
- to think about it.
- 801
- 00:54:14,460 --> 00:54:17,828
- I will say I never liked
- that guy mark.
- 802
- 00:54:17,830 --> 00:54:19,498
- Real superior.
- 803
- 00:54:19,500 --> 00:54:22,401
- I didn't like it that his daddy
- bought him that house
- 804
- 00:54:22,403 --> 00:54:23,735
- and I had to pay rent on it
- neither.
- 805
- 00:54:23,737 --> 00:54:27,507
- It was like that guy mark
- saw the weakness in your boy,
- 806
- 00:54:27,509 --> 00:54:29,575
- saw he was hurting
- in some sense.
- 807
- 00:54:29,577 --> 00:54:32,146
- He had so much money,
- never could figure out
- 808
- 00:54:32,148 --> 00:54:33,580
- why he wouldn't
- just lend him some.
- 809
- 00:54:33,582 --> 00:54:36,951
- Wait, Walker was trying
- to borrow money?
- 810
- 00:54:36,953 --> 00:54:38,153
- Yeah, so he could graduate.
- 811
- 00:54:38,155 --> 00:54:41,089
- He didn't think
- he was gonna make it.
- 812
- 00:54:41,091 --> 00:54:43,559
- He was like a cat
- playing with a mouse,
- 813
- 00:54:43,561 --> 00:54:47,563
- poking at the bleeding spots,
- saying stuff like,
- 814
- 00:54:47,565 --> 00:54:49,766
- "seems like you in a lot
- of pain, you in pain,"
- 815
- 00:54:49,768 --> 00:54:52,903
- and, "sometimes a tunnel
- is just a tunnel,"
- 816
- 00:54:52,905 --> 00:54:54,004
- that kind of shit.
- 817
- 00:54:54,006 --> 00:54:56,107
- I thought it was just
- the drugs talking,
- 818
- 00:54:56,109 --> 00:54:58,176
- but later I figured
- that that guy saw
- 819
- 00:54:58,178 --> 00:55:02,548
- some kind of door opening up,
- just got Walker out of the way,
- 820
- 00:55:02,550 --> 00:55:04,082
- he could step right through it.
- 821
- 00:55:04,084 --> 00:55:07,887
- So when he drove Walker back
- to town later that night...
- 822
- 00:55:07,889 --> 00:55:09,656
- Wait.
- 823
- 00:55:09,658 --> 00:55:12,560
- Mark Wright drove Walker
- to my house?
- 824
- 00:55:12,562 --> 00:55:14,662
- None of the rest of us had cars.
- 825
- 00:55:14,664 --> 00:55:19,701
- Look, I don't like to say it,
- but why'd anybody do that
- 826
- 00:55:19,703 --> 00:55:24,206
- to his own mama
- in her house and all?
- 827
- 00:55:25,476 --> 00:55:26,976
- Man: Hey!
- 828
- 00:55:56,645 --> 00:56:00,281
- Man on television: <i>Drought conditions
- continue all over the south and southwest.</i>
- 829
- 00:56:00,283 --> 00:56:03,886
- <i>Cleanup is well underway
- in Saint John the baptist</i>
- 830
- 00:56:03,888 --> 00:56:05,921
- <i>and Jefferson parishes
- this evening</i>
- 831
- 00:56:05,923 --> 00:56:09,926
- <i>as localized flood waters
- continue to recede...</i>
- 832
- 00:56:09,928 --> 00:56:11,561
- Hey, hey, baby.
- 833
- 00:56:13,532 --> 00:56:16,534
- Crank that ac up higher,
- would you, Byrd?
- 834
- 00:56:16,536 --> 00:56:18,302
- Hang on a sec.
- 835
- 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,108
- Ohh...
- 836
- 00:56:23,110 --> 00:56:24,175
- Okay.
- 837
- 00:56:24,177 --> 00:56:27,613
- Getting crazier by the minute.
- 838
- 00:56:27,615 --> 00:56:32,019
- Byrd: What else is new?
- No, worse.
- 839
- 00:56:32,021 --> 00:56:34,054
- I can't.
- 840
- 00:56:34,056 --> 00:56:35,255
- It's one more day...
- 841
- 00:56:35,257 --> 00:56:38,626
- - I can hear you, goddamn it!
- - Hang on.
- 842
- 00:57:36,395 --> 00:57:38,262
- Why would you elect
- to sit out here
- 843
- 00:57:38,264 --> 00:57:40,932
- instead of staying inside
- where it's cool?
- 844
- 00:57:40,934 --> 00:57:44,269
- Wanted to give you some privacy.
- 845
- 00:57:44,271 --> 00:57:47,072
- - How's Geri?
- - Ticked off at you.
- 846
- 00:57:47,074 --> 00:57:49,843
- I'll take you both out
- to the chatterbox for dinner
- 847
- 00:57:49,845 --> 00:57:52,646
- when we get back, my treat.
- 848
- 00:57:53,781 --> 00:57:56,317
- You know, today when I was
- talking to Buford,
- 849
- 00:57:56,319 --> 00:57:59,920
- I was trying to get him to
- remember something about Walker,
- 850
- 00:57:59,922 --> 00:58:04,660
- and it put me back
- into that room that night.
- 851
- 00:58:04,662 --> 00:58:09,699
- I started...
- Remembering his toes.
- 852
- 00:58:09,701 --> 00:58:10,800
- They were all curled up,
- 853
- 00:58:10,802 --> 00:58:12,903
- and I was standing
- at the foot of his bed
- 854
- 00:58:12,905 --> 00:58:15,406
- trying to straighten them out,
- and they...
- 855
- 00:58:15,408 --> 00:58:18,309
- They would not straighten.
- 856
- 00:58:18,311 --> 00:58:23,415
- I guess I stood there
- for a long time, but...
- 857
- 00:58:23,417 --> 00:58:26,152
- Maybe it was only
- a couple of minutes,
- 858
- 00:58:26,154 --> 00:58:29,288
- the way he was laying there
- and all the blood, and...
- 859
- 00:58:29,290 --> 00:58:35,128
- And me looking for a note,
- and there wasn't a note.
- 860
- 00:58:35,130 --> 00:58:36,397
- And...
- 861
- 00:58:36,399 --> 00:58:40,234
- One side of his briefs
- were kind of pulled down,
- 862
- 00:58:40,236 --> 00:58:43,172
- and I could see...
- 863
- 00:58:43,174 --> 00:58:46,375
- His birthmark,
- that weird brown mark.
- 864
- 00:58:46,377 --> 00:58:49,312
- - That was shaped like a smile.
- - Huh?
- 865
- 00:58:49,314 --> 00:58:52,048
- - Nothing.
- - No.
- 866
- 00:58:52,050 --> 00:58:55,319
- You said his birthmark
- was shaped like a smile.
- 867
- 00:58:55,321 --> 00:58:57,455
- That was...
- 868
- 00:59:00,158 --> 00:59:02,461
- in a real private area
- of his body.
- 869
- 00:59:02,463 --> 00:59:03,729
- How would you know that?
- 870
- 00:59:03,731 --> 00:59:08,267
- Well, I saw him changing when
- we went swimming at the shore.
- 871
- 00:59:08,269 --> 00:59:10,036
- Uh-huh.
- 872
- 00:59:11,305 --> 00:59:12,973
- And that's it?
- 873
- 00:59:12,975 --> 00:59:14,808
- What else could it be?
- 874
- 00:59:14,810 --> 00:59:17,778
- Well, I don't know, birdie Byrd.
- 875
- 00:59:17,780 --> 00:59:19,447
- You tell me.
- 876
- 00:59:21,484 --> 00:59:23,518
- Nothing to tell.
- 877
- 00:59:43,443 --> 00:59:46,879
- Okay, okay, okay.
- There was this period of time...
- 878
- 00:59:46,881 --> 00:59:49,783
- Oh, my god.
- Oh, my god.
- 879
- 00:59:49,785 --> 00:59:51,184
- It wasn't like he was a kid.
- He was 23.
- 880
- 00:59:51,186 --> 00:59:53,052
- So that made you what, how old?
- 881
- 00:59:53,054 --> 00:59:54,455
- I don't know, 32, I guess.
- 882
- 00:59:54,457 --> 00:59:57,792
- Look, I didn't know how to talk
- to you about it when it happened,
- 883
- 00:59:57,794 --> 00:59:58,959
- and then Walker passed,
- and now...
- 884
- 00:59:58,961 --> 01:00:01,930
- I never wanted to tell you.
- I knew you'd blow your stack.
- 885
- 01:00:01,932 --> 01:00:05,000
- So this is about how I'd react?
- 886
- 01:00:05,002 --> 01:00:06,435
- Jesus Christ, Byrd!
- 887
- 01:00:06,437 --> 01:00:09,405
- You've been in that truck with
- me for how many hours,
- 888
- 01:00:09,407 --> 01:00:12,309
- and didn't think to...
- Oh, now I get it.
- 889
- 01:00:12,311 --> 01:00:13,443
- Now I get it.
- 890
- 01:00:13,445 --> 01:00:15,379
- You were just coming along
- for the ride
- 891
- 01:00:15,381 --> 01:00:16,380
- because you were atoning.
- 892
- 01:00:16,382 --> 01:00:19,450
- No, no, what the hell would
- I need to atone for, Darcy?
- 893
- 01:00:19,452 --> 01:00:22,187
- - Isn't it obvious?
- - No, no, it is not.
- 894
- 01:00:22,189 --> 01:00:23,988
- Here's some news for you...
- Other people cared
- 895
- 01:00:23,990 --> 01:00:25,825
- about Walker, too,
- and they had their own reasons.
- 896
- 01:00:25,827 --> 01:00:28,294
- - Not everything has to do with you.
- - Excuse me?
- 897
- 01:00:28,296 --> 01:00:31,164
- You don't think I had to ask
- myself some questions
- 898
- 01:00:31,166 --> 01:00:32,199
- when Walker died?
- 899
- 01:00:32,201 --> 01:00:35,035
- I didn't even realize
- how much he was keeping from me.
- 900
- 01:00:35,037 --> 01:00:37,939
- He talked to me about
- the stars and the moon
- 901
- 01:00:37,941 --> 01:00:39,006
- and theories of the universe.
- 902
- 01:00:39,008 --> 01:00:40,875
- For god's sake, do you know
- how many times I had to
- 903
- 01:00:40,877 --> 01:00:43,312
- ask myself why he didn't come
- over and see me that night?
- 904
- 01:00:43,314 --> 01:00:45,614
- - I was right across the street.
- - No, you were not.
- 905
- 01:00:45,616 --> 01:00:48,218
- When I called you,
- you were at your sister's.
- 906
- 01:00:48,220 --> 01:00:50,854
- That was a whole day later.
- 907
- 01:00:57,229 --> 01:00:59,430
- So how did it...
- 908
- 01:00:59,432 --> 01:01:00,932
- How'd it get started?
- 909
- 01:01:00,934 --> 01:01:03,902
- I don't want to get into that.
- 910
- 01:01:03,904 --> 01:01:05,503
- I'm sorry.
- I gotta know.
- 911
- 01:01:05,505 --> 01:01:10,142
- Well, not that I think you have
- any right to this information,
- 912
- 01:01:10,144 --> 01:01:11,444
- but look, I was lonely.
- 913
- 01:01:11,446 --> 01:01:12,412
- Walker was lonely, too.
- 914
- 01:01:12,414 --> 01:01:14,147
- He was starting to get
- those mood swings,
- 915
- 01:01:14,149 --> 01:01:16,383
- and I think maybe at first,
- he just needed the company.
- 916
- 01:01:16,385 --> 01:01:18,286
- And you were all caught up
- with Clay, in case you forgot,
- 917
- 01:01:18,288 --> 01:01:20,121
- and you didn't really
- want Walker around too much,
- 918
- 01:01:20,123 --> 01:01:24,025
- - also in case you forgot.
- - So I wasn't supposed to have a boyfriend?
- 919
- 01:01:24,027 --> 01:01:25,327
- And Walker wasn't
- supposed to have
- 920
- 01:01:25,329 --> 01:01:26,562
- his own life, his own feelings?
- 921
- 01:01:26,564 --> 01:01:29,298
- He wasn't carved out of stone
- in your mirror image, you know.
- 922
- 01:01:29,300 --> 01:01:30,533
- We were like two peas in a pod.
- 923
- 01:01:30,535 --> 01:01:32,569
- That's exactly
- what I'm talking about, Darcy!
- 924
- 01:01:32,571 --> 01:01:36,941
- It's like the way you see the
- world's the only way to see it.
- 925
- 01:01:36,943 --> 01:01:38,142
- It's like some cardinal truth.
- 926
- 01:01:38,144 --> 01:01:39,977
- But that's just the story
- you've been telling yourself.
- 927
- 01:01:39,979 --> 01:01:42,347
- That doesn't mean that's
- how it actually was.
- 928
- 01:01:42,349 --> 01:01:43,382
- I was there.
- 929
- 01:01:43,384 --> 01:01:46,451
- Sometimes Walker hated your guts
- just like any kid does.
- 930
- 01:01:49,658 --> 01:01:51,658
- Sometimes he tried
- to make himself
- 931
- 01:01:51,660 --> 01:01:53,159
- as different from you
- as he could.
- 932
- 01:01:53,161 --> 01:01:54,561
- Is it any surprise his apartment
- 933
- 01:01:54,563 --> 01:01:58,632
- only had brand-new stuff in it,
- nothing old or remotely antique?
- 934
- 01:01:58,634 --> 01:02:01,536
- Is it any surprise
- he voted republican twice?
- 935
- 01:02:01,538 --> 01:02:06,676
- So what you're telling me
- is I was a shitty mother.
- 936
- 01:02:06,678 --> 01:02:08,511
- - No.
- - Just say it then.
- 937
- 01:02:08,513 --> 01:02:11,414
- Say I was shitty and selfish
- and I let my son
- 938
- 01:02:11,416 --> 01:02:13,216
- slip through my fingers
- and that I didn't see
- 939
- 01:02:13,218 --> 01:02:15,252
- a goddamn thing
- that was going on with him
- 940
- 01:02:15,254 --> 01:02:17,087
- when he was staring me
- in the face.
- 941
- 01:02:17,089 --> 01:02:21,459
- - Darcy, he was depressed.
- - I know that.
- 942
- 01:02:21,461 --> 01:02:22,327
- I know.
- 943
- 01:02:22,329 --> 01:02:25,331
- What kind of mother
- doesn't grasp that
- 944
- 01:02:25,333 --> 01:02:26,665
- and doesn't try to fix it?
- 945
- 01:02:26,667 --> 01:02:28,534
- You tried.
- You couldn't fix it.
- 946
- 01:02:28,536 --> 01:02:29,668
- But what you're telling me
- 947
- 01:02:29,670 --> 01:02:32,272
- is that I didn't see Walker
- as he was.
- 948
- 01:02:32,274 --> 01:02:36,077
- - So what was I seeing then?
- - You saw the parts of him
- 949
- 01:02:36,079 --> 01:02:37,645
- you wanted to see,
- just like we all do.
- 950
- 01:02:37,647 --> 01:02:40,181
- You saw the parts of him
- that reflected
- 951
- 01:02:40,183 --> 01:02:41,716
- the right way on you.
- 952
- 01:02:41,718 --> 01:02:44,386
- I'm just trying to figure out
- some things
- 953
- 01:02:44,388 --> 01:02:46,321
- about my boy and how he died.
- 954
- 01:02:46,323 --> 01:02:47,222
- Enough time passes,
- 955
- 01:02:47,224 --> 01:02:49,625
- and nobody's even gonna
- remember Walker anymore.
- 956
- 01:02:49,627 --> 01:02:53,563
- - That's not true.
- - Well, it sure feels that way.
- 957
- 01:02:53,565 --> 01:02:56,266
- And I'm sorry if I...
- If I'm not evolving
- 958
- 01:02:56,268 --> 01:03:00,138
- the way you think I should be
- or Clay thinks I should be
- 959
- 01:03:00,140 --> 01:03:02,240
- or Geri thinks I should...
- 960
- 01:03:03,376 --> 01:03:06,011
- Does she know about this?
- 961
- 01:03:08,181 --> 01:03:11,450
- Great.
- Just great.
- 962
- 01:03:11,452 --> 01:03:15,188
- And she still doesn't think
- you're a dabbler?
- 963
- 01:03:15,190 --> 01:03:18,159
- She loves me as I am.
- 964
- 01:03:23,665 --> 01:03:27,202
- Do you know why I came
- on this trip with you, Darcy?
- 965
- 01:03:27,204 --> 01:03:28,804
- It's not because
- I think you need
- 966
- 01:03:28,806 --> 01:03:31,775
- some showdown with mark Wright.
- 967
- 01:03:32,710 --> 01:03:34,711
- No, I came with you
- because I want to see you
- 968
- 01:03:34,713 --> 01:03:38,115
- find a way to come back
- and live in this world again
- 969
- 01:03:38,117 --> 01:03:40,618
- before you let this kill you.
- 970
- 01:03:43,556 --> 01:03:47,192
- You're one of the most amazing
- people I know.
- 971
- 01:03:47,194 --> 01:03:52,131
- You're so tough and so funny
- and so damn smart.
- 972
- 01:03:52,133 --> 01:03:53,599
- You show me lots of ways
- to think about
- 973
- 01:03:53,601 --> 01:03:56,703
- how to be a woman in this world,
- and most of the time,
- 974
- 01:03:56,705 --> 01:03:58,372
- there's nobody
- I'd rather talk to,
- 975
- 01:03:58,374 --> 01:04:00,442
- and that's including Geri,
- but you can't ask everybody
- 976
- 01:04:00,444 --> 01:04:03,845
- to keep standing by and watch
- you put yourself through this.
- 977
- 01:04:03,847 --> 01:04:06,215
- Everybody who loves you
- deserves better.
- 978
- 01:04:06,217 --> 01:04:07,283
- I know I do.
- 979
- 01:04:07,285 --> 01:04:10,219
- I had a really good time
- with Walker.
- 980
- 01:04:10,221 --> 01:04:13,356
- I cared for him a whole lot.
- 981
- 01:04:14,592 --> 01:04:16,460
- He was special.
- 982
- 01:04:16,462 --> 01:04:17,427
- He was fragile.
- 983
- 01:04:17,429 --> 01:04:21,099
- He was here,
- and then he was gone.
- 984
- 01:04:22,668 --> 01:04:25,671
- All I can say is that
- the small piece of life
- 985
- 01:04:25,673 --> 01:04:27,606
- that was about him and me
- really got lived.
- 986
- 01:04:27,608 --> 01:04:33,680
- And that's a lot.
- Sometimes that's all we got.
- 987
- 01:05:13,794 --> 01:05:16,263
- Good luck, Darce.
- 988
- 01:05:54,375 --> 01:05:57,477
- How could it have
- gone out already?
- 989
- 01:05:57,479 --> 01:06:00,748
- It was only a couple
- of hours ago!
- 990
- 01:06:00,750 --> 01:06:03,418
- It was right under my pillow!
- 991
- 01:06:04,820 --> 01:06:07,523
- Those papers!
- 992
- 01:06:07,525 --> 01:06:09,692
- I need those papers!
- 993
- 01:06:12,965 --> 01:06:15,365
- Now what, Darcy?
- 994
- 01:06:15,367 --> 01:06:16,800
- What now?!
- 995
- 01:08:10,734 --> 01:08:14,771
- I'm going to mark's office.
- 996
- 01:08:29,522 --> 01:08:31,391
- Woman: Excuse me, ma'am,
- may I help you?
- 997
- 01:08:31,393 --> 01:08:36,130
- I'm here to see mark Wright.
- Addie Bundren?
- 998
- 01:08:41,002 --> 01:08:44,472
- Um, what is this here
- at the bottom?
- 999
- 01:08:44,474 --> 01:08:46,641
- Oh, that's just a standard
- clause acknowledging
- 1000
- 01:08:46,643 --> 01:08:48,477
- that the dawg house
- and its franchises
- 1001
- 01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,547
- are the exclusive property
- of Mr. Wright.
- 1002
- 01:08:51,549 --> 01:08:53,749
- Oh, okay.
- 1003
- 01:09:04,797 --> 01:09:07,499
- Here we go.
- 1004
- 01:09:08,067 --> 01:09:10,202
- Exactly, look,
- you gotta hold on right there.
- 1005
- 01:09:10,204 --> 01:09:12,572
- Let them know you mean business.
- 1006
- 01:09:12,574 --> 01:09:16,843
- Uh-huh.
- Yeah, you got it.
- 1007
- 01:09:16,845 --> 01:09:18,012
- I gotta fly.
- 1008
- 01:09:18,014 --> 01:09:20,548
- I'll catch you
- on the flipside, buddy.
- 1009
- 01:09:21,116 --> 01:09:26,054
- I'm so sorry, Ms. Bundren.
- Come on, please take a seat.
- 1010
- 01:09:26,056 --> 01:09:27,656
- It's been a busy day
- for us here,
- 1011
- 01:09:27,658 --> 01:09:30,893
- but I did want to make time
- to see you.
- 1012
- 01:09:30,895 --> 01:09:33,029
- I've had my eye on Mississippi
- for a while now.
- 1013
- 01:09:33,031 --> 01:09:37,100
- So, uh, you already running
- restaurants down there, or?
- 1014
- 01:09:37,102 --> 01:09:42,807
- I'm sorry, you want to...
- You want to sit down?
- 1015
- 01:09:43,209 --> 01:09:46,478
- All right,
- so why do you want to put
- 1016
- 01:09:46,480 --> 01:09:49,648
- Mississippi in the dawg house?
- 1017
- 01:09:49,650 --> 01:09:52,852
- Well...
- 1018
- 01:09:52,854 --> 01:09:55,088
- It seems like, um,
- 1019
- 01:09:55,090 --> 01:09:58,158
- everybody likes
- a family restaurant, right?
- 1020
- 01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,127
- It's a business
- you can't go wrong with.
- 1021
- 01:10:00,129 --> 01:10:04,065
- I mean, no matter what
- the economy is like,
- 1022
- 01:10:04,067 --> 01:10:07,069
- parents always want to take
- their kids out to eat.
- 1023
- 01:10:07,071 --> 01:10:08,871
- That's the truth.
- That's the truth.
- 1024
- 01:10:08,873 --> 01:10:10,239
- You could ask my wife
- all about that.
- 1025
- 01:10:10,241 --> 01:10:13,877
- She says a wife just needs
- to take a break every so often
- 1026
- 01:10:13,879 --> 01:10:15,612
- from putting dinner
- on the table.
- 1027
- 01:10:15,614 --> 01:10:17,547
- - Yeah.
- - All right, so tell me,
- 1028
- 01:10:17,549 --> 01:10:18,749
- what are you picturing,
- Ms. Bundren?
- 1029
- 01:10:18,751 --> 01:10:20,618
- You wanna start out with the one
- dawg house and build them up?
- 1030
- 01:10:20,620 --> 01:10:23,822
- Well, that's the way
- to a grow business, right?
- 1031
- 01:10:23,824 --> 01:10:27,192
- I heard you got your start by
- selling t-shirts at rock shows.
- 1032
- 01:10:27,194 --> 01:10:30,162
- Yeah, somebody's
- been doing their homework.
- 1033
- 01:10:30,164 --> 01:10:34,600
- Well, you know,
- it's all there on the website.
- 1034
- 01:10:34,602 --> 01:10:39,006
- I'm just curious,
- where'd you get that idea from?
- 1035
- 01:10:39,008 --> 01:10:39,873
- Uh...
- 1036
- 01:10:39,875 --> 01:10:42,777
- Just seemed like a natural way
- to generate some capital,
- 1037
- 01:10:42,779 --> 01:10:43,845
- get things moving.
- 1038
- 01:10:43,847 --> 01:10:47,181
- What band did you
- make shirts for?
- 1039
- 01:10:49,086 --> 01:10:52,855
- Who... who's
- interviewing who here, huh?
- 1040
- 01:10:54,927 --> 01:10:56,593
- Oh, sorry.
- Um...
- 1041
- 01:10:56,595 --> 01:10:58,628
- So in terms of setting up
- a franchise,
- 1042
- 01:10:58,630 --> 01:11:01,632
- would you say that parents
- are looking for a place
- 1043
- 01:11:01,634 --> 01:11:03,067
- that's bright and clean
- for the kids,
- 1044
- 01:11:03,069 --> 01:11:05,570
- a place where their needs
- are taken into account?
- 1045
- 01:11:05,572 --> 01:11:07,573
- And then you need
- to make sure the chain
- 1046
- 01:11:07,575 --> 01:11:10,576
- gives back into the community
- to build a brand.
- 1047
- 01:11:10,578 --> 01:11:13,146
- I guess you can find out
- just about anything
- 1048
- 01:11:13,148 --> 01:11:14,347
- on the Internet these days.
- 1049
- 01:11:14,349 --> 01:11:16,583
- That sounds a lot
- like my business plan.
- 1050
- 01:11:16,585 --> 01:11:19,253
- Except it's not
- your business plan.
- 1051
- 01:11:19,255 --> 01:11:20,988
- Pardon me?
- 1052
- 01:11:20,990 --> 01:11:24,292
- It's from a business plan,
- all right.
- 1053
- 01:11:24,294 --> 01:11:26,628
- But it's not yours.
- 1054
- 01:11:31,034 --> 01:11:35,371
- So I'm not sure what
- you're getting at, Ms...
- 1055
- 01:11:35,373 --> 01:11:40,177
- Baylor, actually.
- Darcy Baylor.
- 1056
- 01:11:40,179 --> 01:11:42,614
- I guess I wasn't important
- enough for you to remember,
- 1057
- 01:11:42,616 --> 01:11:44,015
- but you met me a bunch of times
- 1058
- 01:11:44,017 --> 01:11:46,751
- back when you and Walker
- were friends.
- 1059
- 01:11:46,753 --> 01:11:50,689
- I'm sorry, I did know
- a Walker Baylor
- 1060
- 01:11:50,691 --> 01:11:51,390
- back in school but...
- 1061
- 01:11:51,392 --> 01:11:54,327
- Looks like you're still
- doing coke.
- 1062
- 01:11:54,329 --> 01:11:57,263
- A whole lot of coke.
- 1063
- 01:11:57,265 --> 01:11:58,999
- Am I right?
- 1064
- 01:11:59,001 --> 01:12:00,401
- I'm calling the cops.
- 1065
- 01:12:00,403 --> 01:12:02,236
- You really want
- to mix them up in this?
- 1066
- 01:12:02,238 --> 01:12:03,938
- I'm sorry, ma'am,
- not to be rude,
- 1067
- 01:12:03,940 --> 01:12:06,375
- but take a look at yourself,
- and take a look at me.
- 1068
- 01:12:06,377 --> 01:12:08,710
- Who do you think they're
- gonna believe?
- 1069
- 01:12:08,712 --> 01:12:09,311
- What the hell?
- 1070
- 01:12:09,313 --> 01:12:13,716
- I am Darcy Baylor,
- and I am Walker Baylor's mother,
- 1071
- 01:12:13,718 --> 01:12:17,153
- and you are not to diminish
- or belittle us,
- 1072
- 01:12:17,155 --> 01:12:18,956
- do you understand me?
- 1073
- 01:12:23,361 --> 01:12:25,830
- How much do you want?
- 1074
- 01:12:25,832 --> 01:12:26,865
- Come again?
- 1075
- 01:12:26,867 --> 01:12:28,133
- How much money do you want?
- 1076
- 01:12:28,135 --> 01:12:30,069
- You think I'm here
- for your money?
- 1077
- 01:12:30,071 --> 01:12:33,673
- Don't insult me.
- 1078
- 01:12:33,675 --> 01:12:37,044
- I want you to tell me
- what happened
- 1079
- 01:12:37,046 --> 01:12:39,046
- the day Walker died.
- 1080
- 01:12:39,981 --> 01:12:42,016
- What the hell happened?
- 1081
- 01:12:42,418 --> 01:12:46,187
- Every damn detail.
- I need you to tell me why.
- 1082
- 01:12:46,189 --> 01:12:47,388
- Why what?
- 1083
- 01:12:47,390 --> 01:12:49,758
- Why he killed himself.
- 1084
- 01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,461
- Why he...
- I don't know why.
- 1085
- 01:12:52,463 --> 01:12:54,130
- But you know what his last hours
- 1086
- 01:12:54,132 --> 01:12:56,433
- on this planet were like,
- and that's what you need
- 1087
- 01:12:56,435 --> 01:12:58,401
- to tell me about right now.
- 1088
- 01:12:58,403 --> 01:13:02,173
- I mean it. Now.
- 1089
- 01:13:08,347 --> 01:13:11,784
- This is crazy.
- This is crazy.
- 1090
- 01:13:15,456 --> 01:13:17,390
- I guess.
- 1091
- 01:13:17,392 --> 01:13:19,860
- Okay.
- 1092
- 01:13:19,862 --> 01:13:24,899
- Walker was...
- He was so goddamn bummed out.
- 1093
- 01:13:24,901 --> 01:13:26,434
- What was he bummed out about?
- 1094
- 01:13:26,436 --> 01:13:29,905
- Stuff, just...
- 1095
- 01:13:29,907 --> 01:13:30,873
- I had a daddy with means.
- 1096
- 01:13:30,875 --> 01:13:32,942
- I couldn't possibly know
- what he was talking about.
- 1097
- 01:13:32,944 --> 01:13:34,744
- I was probably
- gonna graduate on time.
- 1098
- 01:13:34,746 --> 01:13:36,146
- He probably wasn't
- gonna make it.
- 1099
- 01:13:36,148 --> 01:13:38,915
- And then, what kind of job
- was he gonna be able to get?
- 1100
- 01:13:38,917 --> 01:13:42,386
- Could he ever get married,
- have a family of his own?
- 1101
- 01:13:42,388 --> 01:13:43,121
- Stuff like that.
- 1102
- 01:13:43,123 --> 01:13:46,457
- I was like, "little man,
- if life is that tough,
- 1103
- 01:13:46,459 --> 01:13:49,128
- do us all a favor,
- all right, and put yourself
- 1104
- 01:13:49,130 --> 01:13:52,798
- out of your misery because
- you're bringing us down."
- 1105
- 01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:56,102
- Stuff like that.
- I was just messing with him.
- 1106
- 01:13:56,804 --> 01:13:58,505
- Shit!
- 1107
- 01:14:03,211 --> 01:14:05,079
- And then, uh...
- 1108
- 01:14:06,182 --> 01:14:10,819
- And then we all went upstairs,
- and I guess I fell asleep,
- 1109
- 01:14:10,821 --> 01:14:12,321
- because when I woke up,
- it was real late.
- 1110
- 01:14:12,323 --> 01:14:16,259
- It was just me and Walker
- in the room at that point.
- 1111
- 01:14:16,261 --> 01:14:21,999
- And he was sitting over by
- the window in a rocking chair.
- 1112
- 01:14:22,967 --> 01:14:26,204
- Real quiet
- just rocking back and forth,
- 1113
- 01:14:26,206 --> 01:14:28,239
- looking out the window.
- 1114
- 01:14:28,241 --> 01:14:31,577
- And he asked me if I'd give
- him a ride back into town.
- 1115
- 01:14:31,579 --> 01:14:33,379
- I was still pretty messed up
- by then.
- 1116
- 01:14:33,381 --> 01:14:35,916
- But I said all right.
- 1117
- 01:14:37,919 --> 01:14:39,853
- So I did.
- 1118
- 01:14:40,221 --> 01:14:43,357
- I'm curious.
- 1119
- 01:14:43,359 --> 01:14:46,060
- Since you were the last one
- to see him alive,
- 1120
- 01:14:46,062 --> 01:14:48,864
- what did he say to you
- when you...
- 1121
- 01:14:48,866 --> 01:14:52,034
- When you dropped him off
- at my doorstep?
- 1122
- 01:14:54,138 --> 01:14:55,939
- It was a long time ago.
- 1123
- 01:14:55,941 --> 01:14:57,473
- Honestly, I don't recall.
- 1124
- 01:14:57,475 --> 01:15:02,246
- It was just a night
- like any other night for me.
- 1125
- 01:15:02,248 --> 01:15:04,415
- Did you ask him...
- 1126
- 01:15:07,253 --> 01:15:09,454
- What was on his mind?
- 1127
- 01:15:09,456 --> 01:15:13,626
- Because I'm guessing it was
- pretty obvious he was upset.
- 1128
- 01:15:13,628 --> 01:15:18,999
- It was obvious
- he needed somebody to talk to.
- 1129
- 01:15:19,001 --> 01:15:20,234
- I was at work that night.
- 1130
- 01:15:20,236 --> 01:15:22,302
- I didn't get home
- till it was nearly dawn.
- 1131
- 01:15:22,304 --> 01:15:27,976
- So did he say anything
- about me by any chance?
- 1132
- 01:15:27,978 --> 01:15:29,578
- I don't think so.
- 1133
- 01:15:29,580 --> 01:15:31,480
- I mean, come on, guys that age,
- 1134
- 01:15:31,482 --> 01:15:35,552
- we don't talk about our moms,
- you know what I mean?
- 1135
- 01:15:45,430 --> 01:15:47,900
- Why'd you give him the bullets?
- 1136
- 01:15:47,902 --> 01:15:49,101
- - What?
- - The bullets.
- 1137
- 01:15:49,103 --> 01:15:51,937
- All these years, I've been
- trying to figure it out,
- 1138
- 01:15:51,939 --> 01:15:53,640
- and there was that
- one missing piece,
- 1139
- 01:15:53,642 --> 01:15:56,276
- but now it all makes sense.
- 1140
- 01:15:57,344 --> 01:15:59,680
- Walker says he's given up
- on his dreams,
- 1141
- 01:15:59,682 --> 01:16:04,418
- y'all get all lit up,
- you go in your room,
- 1142
- 01:16:04,420 --> 01:16:06,922
- you give him the bullets.
- 1143
- 01:16:06,924 --> 01:16:08,423
- No, oh, no, no, ma'am.
- 1144
- 01:16:08,425 --> 01:16:11,594
- Then you drove Walker
- back to my house,
- 1145
- 01:16:11,596 --> 01:16:14,530
- let him go in, shoot himself.
- 1146
- 01:16:14,532 --> 01:16:16,699
- And you got to take away
- his business plan.
- 1147
- 01:16:16,701 --> 01:16:18,535
- - Perfect, right?
- - No, ma'am.
- 1148
- 01:16:18,537 --> 01:16:21,138
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
- slow it down now.
- 1149
- 01:16:21,140 --> 01:16:22,406
- You stole everything
- from my child.
- 1150
- 01:16:22,408 --> 01:16:26,511
- I swear, ma'am, I swear,
- I n... no, don't shoot me!
- 1151
- 01:16:26,513 --> 01:16:28,980
- I swear on my daughter
- Bella's life,
- 1152
- 01:16:28,982 --> 01:16:30,449
- I never gave Walker any bullets!
- 1153
- 01:16:30,451 --> 01:16:32,584
- Dennis.
- Remember Dennis?
- 1154
- 01:16:32,586 --> 01:16:34,053
- Oh, my god,
- please don't shoot me!
- 1155
- 01:16:34,055 --> 01:16:35,254
- He told me he saw
- a box of bullets
- 1156
- 01:16:35,256 --> 01:16:37,457
- in Walker's hand when
- he came out of your room.
- 1157
- 01:16:37,459 --> 01:16:39,693
- I had guns and ammo
- lying all over the place!
- 1158
- 01:16:39,695 --> 01:16:41,629
- I didn't... I didn't even keep
- my bullets<i> in</i> a box!
- 1159
- 01:16:41,631 --> 01:16:44,198
- What about Buford? Buford
- said you saw a door open up,
- 1160
- 01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:47,669
- and you walked right through it.
- You took Walker's plan...
- 1161
- 01:16:47,671 --> 01:16:49,671
- My daddy told me
- I had to come out of school
- 1162
- 01:16:49,673 --> 01:16:51,139
- with something to show for it!
- 1163
- 01:16:51,141 --> 01:16:53,676
- After Walker passed, I guess
- I figured I'd get something.
- 1164
- 01:16:53,678 --> 01:16:56,980
- I knew daddy could get behind
- a restaurant chain.
- 1165
- 01:16:56,982 --> 01:16:59,315
- I could make it fly, so...
- 1166
- 01:16:59,317 --> 01:17:00,617
- So...
- 1167
- 01:17:03,054 --> 01:17:05,657
- You took Walker's plan...
- 1168
- 01:17:05,659 --> 01:17:09,728
- To stay out of trouble
- with your daddy.
- 1169
- 01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:19,206
- Then why'd you go and try
- and turn yourself into Walker?
- 1170
- 01:17:20,608 --> 01:17:25,546
- Getting a dog like his,
- 1171
- 01:17:25,548 --> 01:17:30,586
- taking his memories,
- stealing his ideas, why?
- 1172
- 01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:33,722
- Didn't you have any memories
- of your own?!
- 1173
- 01:17:33,724 --> 01:17:38,028
- I didn't have any stories
- that good.
- 1174
- 01:17:38,030 --> 01:17:40,497
- I didn't have what he had
- back at that time.
- 1175
- 01:17:40,499 --> 01:17:44,635
- I didn't have anything
- that seemed like it would work.
- 1176
- 01:17:45,704 --> 01:17:48,540
- I remember thinking
- I wish my mom and me
- 1177
- 01:17:48,542 --> 01:17:50,609
- could be like you two were.
- 1178
- 01:17:50,611 --> 01:17:55,114
- It's funny 'cause
- he thought I had everything.
- 1179
- 01:17:55,116 --> 01:17:56,783
- At the end of the day...
- 1180
- 01:17:56,785 --> 01:17:58,684
- No, no, wait!
- Please, please, please.
- 1181
- 01:17:58,686 --> 01:18:02,756
- What did it feel like for him...
- 1182
- 01:18:02,758 --> 01:18:04,291
- In that moment?
- 1183
- 01:18:04,293 --> 01:18:08,463
- - Stop!
- - Cold.
- 1184
- 01:18:08,465 --> 01:18:09,831
- Scary.
- 1185
- 01:18:09,833 --> 01:18:11,266
- And then...
- 1186
- 01:18:11,268 --> 01:18:12,835
- Black.
- 1187
- 01:18:12,837 --> 01:18:14,737
- No.
- 1188
- 01:22:32,539 --> 01:22:33,739
- You know, it's funny,
- 1189
- 01:22:33,741 --> 01:22:35,108
- sometimes I'll be going
- down the sidewalk,
- 1190
- 01:22:35,110 --> 01:22:39,645
- not thinking about
- anything in particular, and...
- 1191
- 01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:50,392
- I'll feel your hand
- sliding into mine.
- 1192
- 01:22:53,597 --> 01:22:57,032
- Even though
- I know it's not there.
- 1193
- 01:22:58,935 --> 01:23:03,039
- Even though I know
- it's never going to be there.
- 1194
- 01:23:11,985 --> 01:23:16,021
- I can't tell you
- what I would give...
- 1195
- 01:23:16,023 --> 01:23:19,025
- To hold your hand again.
- 1196
- 01:23:24,733 --> 01:23:27,034
- My baby boy.
- 1197
- 01:23:58,538 --> 01:24:00,807
- Glad to see
- you made it home okay.
- 1198
- 01:24:00,809 --> 01:24:03,009
- Judging from your shirt,
- looks like you still got a job.
- 1199
- 01:24:03,011 --> 01:24:08,182
- I do, and you can tell Geri
- she can start working her magic.
- 1200
- 01:24:08,184 --> 01:24:10,618
- You got it in?
- Tell her yourself.
- 1201
- 01:24:10,620 --> 01:24:12,855
- She'll be out here in a sec.
- 1202
- 01:24:12,857 --> 01:24:16,525
- Well, you must be sick
- of driving.
- 1203
- 01:24:24,803 --> 01:24:26,904
- You could still shock
- the known world and be practical
- 1204
- 01:24:26,906 --> 01:24:30,175
- and change your application to
- pre-law or something like that.
- 1205
- 01:24:30,177 --> 01:24:32,878
- No, I started out
- studying literature,
- 1206
- 01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,147
- and even if I never do
- a damn thing with it,
- 1207
- 01:24:35,149 --> 01:24:36,816
- I know it's gonna improve me,
- 1208
- 01:24:36,818 --> 01:24:39,519
- just the way I see things
- and think about things,
- 1209
- 01:24:39,521 --> 01:24:43,891
- and spend some time with
- some really good sentences.
- 1210
- 01:24:43,893 --> 01:24:47,128
- It's... well,
- I think it's expansive.
- 1211
- 01:24:48,130 --> 01:24:50,565
- Why the hell
- has he changed his patterns?
- 1212
- 01:24:50,567 --> 01:24:52,567
- Whole world turned upside down
- when Clayton Watson
- 1213
- 01:24:52,569 --> 01:24:54,136
- keeps stepping out on
- the main street before noon.
- 1214
- 01:24:54,138 --> 01:24:57,273
- - Jesus Christ, stop the car.
- - You don't wanna be late.
- 1215
- 01:24:57,275 --> 01:25:00,110
- Take that.
- Won't take long.
