♪ You are my sunshine My only sunshine
♪ You make me happy When skies are gray ♪
But you never heard me when I said I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Life has a drift to it,
a current that pushes us through.
And yet it's often at odds with the gravity of who we are.
The constant push and pull between right and wrong.
Some call it good and bad.
Others call it black and white.
Nobody talks about gray.
Real life lives in the gray.
"There is a real evil in the world, Mom.
"A pure evil. I've seen it."
You remember writing that letter?
Yes, sir.
Can you explain to us what exactly you meant by those words?
Well, evil exists under lock and key in here.
But out in the real world, you don't always see it coming.
It tends to hide in plain sight out there.
If released.
If...
How do you think you'd do around all that evil?
It's hard to say.
You do understand how that sounds?
Yeah, it makes us think you'd go back to a life of crime.
I was never in a life of crime.
You were arrested.
Took a plea deal.
And I did what my PD told me to do.
Do you take responsibility for your crime?
As much as I can. Yes, sir.
Have you kept in contact with anyone on the outside?
Mr. Walker?
Anything else you care to add?
My mother had me when she was very young.
My father wasn't really around,
and we didn't have much family to speak of.
So...
I owe her.
She's the main reason I want to get out.
Mr. Walker,
it appears to this board that you are not yet rehabilitated to the point
of being released back into society.
Therefore, we're recommend...
Okay, Mr. Walker.
You've caught us on a charitable day.
We're giving you that chance to take care of your mother.
And, son,
stay away from any evil you may encounter out there.
You're home.
I remember the first time I got popped.
I stole a dirt bike from my asshole neighbor.
I was just borrowing it from the old bastard.
They gave me 30 days in the pen,
but I only served four.
Guess I made the other guys too nervous.
Bet a month is just a drop in the bucket to you, huh?
Doc sign off on you drinking?
It's only one beer. I'm fine.
Imagine it's pretty stressful having the kid back?
His name's Billy.
Don't turn this around on me.
He's the one sitting there like a space case.
He just needs a little bit of time
to get back in the swing of things.
Just a little bit of time.
Guys always come out of there even more fucked up.
What's your excuse, Mr. Four Days?
You need to keep an eye on him.
He could freak out at any moment.
Don't tell me how to raise my son.
Next you'll be telling me you need your space.
Don't be a cliche.
I'm not the one acting like a drunken ass.
I'm just playing my role in this fucking good time.
Are you really sure you want to do this?
Okay, buddy. Time to go.
Ho ho, what do you know?
He can talk.
You think prison made you a man?
Do you want to find out?
Billy! Billy, Billy! That's enough.
Inside. It's enough. Inside, inside.
- Hey, buddy. - Inside! I got this.
If you only did four days, you would have served that in County, not prison.
You might want to get your shit straight next time.
Just go inside.
Go on. I got this. I got this.
I got it.
God!
- What's wrong with you? - What?
Do you want me to apologize?
Thought someday I'd be husband number three.
Keep dreaming.
He's a big talker when he's drunk.
Yeah. Well, there's a lot of those inside.
I'm sorry he hit you.
I'm sorry, I stuck my nose in.
No, you didn't.
You didn't.
He was never a long term kind of guy anyway.
Well, you could do better.
Story of my life.
Mom.
Why do you have to ask your doctor if you can have a beer?
I didn't wanna tell you when you were in there.
I... I didn't see the point.
You know, why worry you?
Huh?
Well, you've done plenty of that for me.
That's different. I am the parent.
You had me when you were 15.
It's not like you had a choice.
It's my liver.
I need a new one.
I'm on one of those lists.
How long does that take?
They... They don't know.
I'm AB negative, which happens to be a rare blood type.
Turns out your mom is just a shitty match.
What can I do?
You can help me do the dishes.
Come on, Mom. Fucking dishes. I'm serious.
God, Billy, I'm a big girl.
I can take care of myself.
You should let me show you a little appreciation.
Billy, you've been punished enough.
He really couldn't hit for shit.
You are right. He was a big ass. Wasn't he?
Yeah, he's kinda the worst.
Yeah, he really was.
Uh, he really was.
Thanks for always looking after me.
Oh, Billy, you made a mistake.
You just... just made a mistake.
It's time to move on.
Yup.
Aw!
Oh! You made breakfast?
Well, ya.
I told you get used to some changes around here.
Yeah.
I love it. It's just, uh,
uh, not really hungry.
Here, there's 50.
It should be enough. Better be enough.
Okay, I'll be home around 6:00.
Okay.
And I left your resumes on the desk.
How can I help you, Billy?
Yeah, my mother, Grace.
Um, I think she's a patient of yours.
You're the son?
Yeah.
I'm sorry, but I can't discuss a patient's condition.
Well, Doc. I mean.
I know she's on the list, man.
She told you she needs a new liver?
I don't understand.
I mean, she literally never drank.
It's not from drinking.
Sometimes the liver just shuts down.
It could be genetics, or any number of factors.
What about, uh, a living donor or one of those?
Ah, her liver's too far gone for a partial or living donor.
Believe me, we tried everything.
Her liver just hasn't responded the way we would have hoped.
How long?
That's always hard to say.
Well, pretend she's your mom.
Six months, maybe a year.
Okay.
And the list?
Unfortunately, she's fairly far down on it.
Well, how can I move her up it?
You can't.
Excuse me.
Hey.
You know where I've been for the last seven years?
Yeah.
I'll go back before she suffers any more than she has to.
I'll obviously deny we ever had this conversation.
But I know a doctor over in Juarez
that can get you a healthy liver.
It's not cheap.
It's far from ethical, or legal.
But money talks a little louder across the wall.
How much?
$160,000 is the going rate.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Resume is a little light, Billy.
I'm just fucking with you, pendejo.
Oh, and I know about your, uh.
vacation.
Yeah.
Wait, Billy, please.
Look, I would hire you, man.
I mean, you saved my ass a few times back in school.
I remember that.
But my dad, he owns the place.
He's old school, neck ties and shit.
He wouldn't let a felon within a mile of his cars.
Sorry, man.
Hello?
When?
Mr. Walker.
We got her stable.
She's not in any pain now.
So, she passed out from her medications?
Not likely.
We ran a cardiac enzyme and PT INR.
I'm afraid her liver's worse than we thought.
I don't know what that means, man,
'cause you were supposed to be monitoring her.
She missed her last two appointments.
We haven't been able to test her in over a month.
I'm sorry to have to tell you this,
but her timetable has accelerated.
How long?
Two months.
We can keep her comfortable here,
but without a new liver...
John, I need you.
Uh, no.
No, no, I did a double. I'm out of here.
Come on. I got three patients who could code at any moment.
I... I...
Thanks.
Hi.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Uh. you got a unique way of expressing it.
I'm sorry.
I was just kidding. I I've seen a lot worse.
Yeah, I can only imagine.
Uh, you don't want to imagine. Trust me.
Um, could you do something about these lights?
It's not really doing me any favors.
Here.
Yeah, just cool you off a little bit.
It's clean.
A cool towel.
Manners.
All part of the service, ma'am.
Oh, boy, I really hope you forget this is how we met.
Forget love at first sight?
I don't think I can do that.
I'm John.
Grace Andrews.
Grace Andrews?
Sorry.
Um. I don't think we've ever met,
but. your face is familiar.
Hmm, I don't think so.
I just have one of those faces.
Just one of those faces that's launched a million mistakes.
I'd shake your hand, except, uh, under the circumstances...
Oh, no, no, no, don't worry.
I I deal with a lot of dirt in my job, too.
I work at a law firm.
Oh, you're a lawyer?
No, receptionist.
Ah.
Crappy pay, but great insurance,
this comfy bed and. fantastic room service.
Is this your first night in the palace?
How'd you guess?
It's part of my job to know these things.
Crappy pay, lousy benefits,
but for some reason, I... I keep on coming back.
It's also my job to change the name on the board.
Andrews.
There.
Now you're official, hmm.
Boy, I'm glad that last guy is gone.
He was a total pain in the neck.
He kept throwing up.
Sick bastard.
You can't even imagine.
I don't really want to.
I promise, I'm not gonna be a pain.
Good.
Well...
always nice to make an unexpected friend, huh.
You can never have too many.
Yeah. Can I get you anything else?
No.
Well, in that case, Grace Andrews...
Lights out.
Sleep tight.
Don't give me that face.
It's the only one I got.
I know I have lousy timing, huh.
Doc says you're not in any pain.
I'd be at work right now if they'd let me get out of here.
If I could only trade places with you.
Oh, come on. Stop.
You've been cooped up for way too long.
It's my turn for a little while.
What can I do?
You can get out of here. Go have some fun.
There'll be time for fun later.
You're a lousy liar.
Go on.
All right.
Get some rest, okay?
Mm-hmm.
Gotta go earn my keep.
Hmm.
Staring at it won't make it go down any easier.
Mr. Walker's a bad man.
Excuse me?
Your shot, Johnny Walker.
Don't tell me I have to cut you off after none?
Walker's my last name.
Really?
Yeah, I haven't had a shot in a while.
It's your birthday?
No.
Why start now?
Get fired or somethin'?
To be fired, I'd have to have a job.
But those seem hard to come by.
Tell me about it.
I was over a UTEP studying to become a teacher.
I didn't finish, 'cause I had to pay the bills.
Take what you can get nowadays.
- Yeah. - Yo, bitches, Tyler's in the house.
Yo, yo, J Bone. Can I get another beer, please?
Jesus, man.
Oh shit. Yo, Billy. When you get back, man?
All right. I can respect that.
It's been a minute. You good?
Yeah, man. I'm... I'm okay. I'm okay.
How you been?
You know, chillin', livin' the dream,
makin' that sick green. You know what I mean?
What are you doing for work now?
I'm the mother fucking mayor of the west side.
Makin' my rounds, visitin' all of my constituents.
No, I'm just fucking with you, man.
Slanging that Tina. You want a "G"?
Ho sale discount.
Oh no, but I'm I'm straight, thank you.
I could use a job.
Can't help you there.
Upper management makes those calls.
Yo, J train, can you get my boy Billy here another shot?
Thanks, man.
Thank you.
Yo, that girl, Jen. Uff, she got a body like a race track, man.
I've been trying to run the Indy 500 on that ass for years.
Hey, you sure you can't help me out, man?
Look, man, drug trade ain't for you.
Shit so corporate now. Cartel runs a tight ass ship.
People disappear on the regular for the tiniest little slip ups.
Ain't no forgiveness for ran outs.
Yo! Yeah, man, I just. I hear you, brother.
I just... just need some fucking cash.
You know what I mean?
Just what the fuck, man!
I'm a cop now?
You're comin' on mad strong, Billy.
I gotta make sure 5-0 ain't puttin' the screws to you.
Brother, I promise you, I'm not on their radar. Okay.
My issues are more life and death.
It's about some ho?
Man, you know what I do to get over some bitch?
I listen to three Too Short songs back to back,
then I take a shot, and I'm good.
Drink up.
Biatch!
Yeah. Feel better?
Yeah.
Hey, yo, I gotta bounce.
- Okay, man. - It was great
running into you. We should catch up soon.
And don't forget to vote for Tyler Greggs. A'ight?
Okay. Thanks, buddy.
You're welcome.
Peace out, bitches.
Billy back in town. Good seeing you, Billy.
Okay, man.
You know that piece of shit?
In a former life.
Nobody ever really gives a shit about a dealer.
Yeah!
But he must have a crush.
Tyler never pays for his drinks
without me threatening to call the cops.
Can I get another shot of the "bad man"?
Your wish, Mr. Walker.
Welcome back to the land of bad decisions.
I swore you were a tweeker.
Thought I liked to take it in the ass? Huh? You trying to fuck me?
Tyler, man, I'm...
Man, shut the fuck up.
You ain't got shit to say that I want to hear.
I buy you a drink, offer my friendship,
give you advice on bitches,
and the first thing your punk ass thinks is,
"Oh, let me go rob this overly kind motherfucker that bought me drinks."
Move!
I do my fuckin' in the livin' room.
Come on, speed it up.
It's all my fault.
Showin' my generosity of spirit to my fellow man,
have him thinking "Brother Tyler of the Sisters of Mercy is gonna be easy to fuck."
But my time in the joint wasn't for slangin', Billy.
It was for aggravated assault. Big boy shit.
Turns out violence comes easy to me.
I'm a goddamn virtuoso.
Fucking Yo Yo Ma of pain.
So, you also probably assumed that this was my pad.
True, I do lay my head and major pipe here,
talking three to five bitches a week.
But this is also a drop house for the cartel.
When you steal from these motherfuckers,
they take that shit real personal.
"La Familia" es no joke.
- Yo, it's T. - Go ahead.
I caught an intruder in the nest.
Wow, these cowboys,
they're here for one reason.
To make sure that no one ever fucks with their business.
T, get it done.
Three cowboys are en route.
They live for this shit. Taking things apart.
Not like cars, I'm talking people, fingers, toes, dicks,
shit you don't even wanna know about, Billy.
Man, fuck, I probably just earned myself a stripe for makin' that call.
Can I have a cigarette?
Wanna know some crazy shit?
I don't smoke.
Hate the smell, taste, shit burns my lungs.
Not a good thing in my line of work.
Fools are always tryin' to smoke when they gettin' blasted.
How about a fat ass rail instead?
Get you feeling no pain.
Plus, when they gut you,
you'll bleed out a whole lot faster.
I don't like to party alone.
Do the line, shit ain't a request.
Yeah, that's the spot.
That's what I was talkin' about.
That's good?
You wanna know what I learned in prison?
How to suck a mean cock and tickle some balls?
How to take a fucking beatin'.
You fucking dick!
You thought that was the only gun that I got?
I'm a drug dealer, bitch!
Holy shit, man.
Fuck me!
Fuck you, Tyler.
Fuck me.
Fuck!
There's some real evil in the world.
pure evil.
I've seen it.
And in breaking news.
when other cities are seeing a spike in
...and incur a total debt.
And over 115 trillion dollars in future committed debt.
- The problem ... - Our top story this morning,
El Paso General Hospital has announced a new association
with the Reynolds Rehabilitation Ranch.
Nobody gives a shit about a dealer.
...for the Ranch's efforts
to rehabilitate...
Just the one vic?
Yep. Shotgun round to the torso.
Less than 15 feet, and he took off through that door.
Huh. Dealer gets his ticket punched.
Whose blood is that?
Not our vic's.
We'll test it and run it through.
Hmm.
Dealer put up a fight. I'm almost impressed.
As far as I can tell,
this room was trampled before we even arrived.
Ah, the shooter went on a shopping spree?
Nah, shooter took off.
Some cowboys paid our vic a house call after the fact.
Forensics, can we see you outside?
Cowboys, huh?
Yup. I get to get back to the station, all right?
Yeah. Sure thing.
Hey there, Bubba.
John?
Hi!
Thanks for the candle.
Uh, how do you know it was me?
I had a hunch.
Um, listen, I'm gonna do my best to not mess up the floors again.
Well, don't you make any promises you can't keep... down.
That is hospital humor.
Ah. You finished now?
I think you're my last customer. Yep.
Will I see you later?
You planning on breakin' your promise already?
No, I just thought maybe you'd like to check on your candle.
Yeah, um, I'll be back at 6:00.
Oh, okay.
Then maybe I'll wait up for you.
Are you allowed to eat with the patients?
I make my own rules.
A rebel, I like it.
Well, um...
Yeah, I can only offer you pudding cups,
but I gotta tell you, they're pretty tasty.
Well, pudding happens to be this rebel's favorite food, so.
Here.
I'll see you at 6:00. Huh?
Hmm.
Those for me?
Well, who else?
I don't know.
I was kind of hoping you met a nice lady friend.
Yeah.
Looks like you already have an admirer.
Just a buddy.
You know, they all start out that way.
Hmm, 'kay. Cute. Enough.
How are you feelin'?
Great. I get to lay in bed all day
and watch all my favorite talk shows.
Oh, okay. Oh, yeah.
Long night huh, buddy? Bad night.
Slung?
I was job hunting. It's fine.
- It's nothing. - Sure.
I'm out of prison, please stop worrying.
I want you to look for a job, not trouble.
Trouble tends to find me.
Look, I can call work.
I'm sure there's something you can do around the office.
Stop. I got it covered.
I swear. I actually got some leads.
You wanna share, wanna tell dear old mom?
No.
I don't want to jinx it, you know.
Of course not.
Give me my purse.
Here.
Here's my phone. Take it.
And my car keys.
Now, go make nice with the pretty ladies.
Okay. Thank you.
No more fighting.
Your goddamn cowboy boots were all over the house.
Is that all you guys wear?
Look, tell Reynolds I'm all over this asshole.
All right? He'll make a mistake.
Adi-fucking-os.
Guessing last night ended badly?
Oh, I fell.
Yeah, right.
Must not have ended too badly.
I'm back for more punishment.
Any luck with the 9:00 to 5:00?
Not yet.
It'll work out.
Somehow it always does.
Yeah.
Hey, Tex.
You seen the Nitwit today?
Tyler? No, haven't had the pleasure.
Fuck.
Want me to give him a message when he turns up?
Yeah. Tell his ass to call me.
Dumb shit's voicemail is full.
Can I help you, faggot?
No.
Wow.
Ex-boyfriend?
Think Tyler's bad news?
That guy's the worst news you could possibly get.
Dealer?
A wanna be pimp.
Gets his customers from the strip club he bounces at.
Glad you don't know Tex.
Yeah, I mean, I am one of the good guys.
Huh! In my bar?
Chocolate is the best.
Without question.
So, what do you like to do when you're not working?
Getting to the nitty gritty, huh?
Well, I don't have a lot of time left here.
No, don't say that.
It's a joke.
Ha ha.
- Patient humor. - Okay.
What do I do? I, uh... I have an apartment.
I, um, I work on my car. '67 Firebird, classic.
To me anyway, and, uh, well, that's...
Well, sometimes I go to church.
Oh!
Only people I ever knew that went to church
were nuns, or folks searching to pray their way
out of something terrible in life.
Well, you got me again.
I'm a nun.
I knew it was something.
I used to be a doctor.
Then some years ago, my, um, my life just unraveled.
I mean, it was coming apart before, but I didn't see it.
I was blinded by my own magnificence.
Hmm. Yeah.
In the end, I trashed everything,
everybody, my family, my practice, my friendships.
I burned it.
All of it.
And, uh, my life dead ended.
I'm sorry.
I am, too.
I think that sorry sorrow
it's the color of my life, whatever color sorrow is.
But my car, on the other hand, is red, and, uh, I think,
uh, maybe that's why I work on it.
I'm trying to get back to that, you know, life.
There are days, lot of days,
when I don't feel that life
is really an available option.
You feel that way now?
Now, right now, I feel. exposed.
You're the most vulnerable man I've ever seen.
It's rare.
I think you mean weak.
No, no. They're... they're...
They're usually just. stupid little boys with anger issues,
but I've never seen a man be more of a man
than the man you are now.
I take it you go for the sensitive type, huh?
No, it's just... it's just...
Well, you remind me of my son when he was younger.
- You have a son? - I do.
I'd really like you to meet him someday.
Okay.
Let's make a date.
Ooh!
A date.
Looks like you're keeping busy.
You were at my parole hearing.
I'm your PO, Sarah Jenson.
Am I in trouble?
Why do you ask that?
Well, you're standing in my driveway.
Is your mom around?
I'd like to talk to her.
She's the reason I got out, isn't she?
She came to me, told me about her condition.
I'm a mother, too.
She never said anything.
Well, she kept on top of me.
Had me take a second look at your case.
Your mom?
She's at El Paso General.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Come by my office next week.
You find a job yet?
Not for lack of trying.
Get one.
I know what you're gonna say.
Fuck!
This is a burrito.
I ask for a special kind of burrito every fucking day.
Peanut butter, jelly, mayonnaise,
and they fill it with some kind of egg shit and somethin' else.
And then they expect me to eat it? No way.
I try to avoid 'em myself.
You know why you and I never met face to face before?
I have a pretty good idea.
I hate pigs, especially dirty ones.
You look around this whole ranch.
Take a look, 30,000 acres.
Not one fucking pig.
As soon as I get a DNA hit, I'll deliver this fucking guy to you.
All right?
Uh, not right.
I'm supposed to just sit around here,
enjoy a piece of shit burrito and relax?
You know that's not all I'm doing, you know. I'm on it.
Really? And yet, here we are?
Listen, this isn't even my case.
I start I start making waves, they're gonna start looking at me.
Who's on the case if it's not you?
Ah! With all your connections.
What is that? An insult?
You know who you're looking at?
Seven fucking generations on this property
my blood, my people.
I mean something.
Well, it still doesn't give you the right to start killing cops.
Really?
Yeah.
And I always save one in case I need to make a point.
You got that?
My patience is gone.
Two dealers are dead.
The money's missing.
Now if these Mexicans get wind of all this,
there's gonna be a gun to everybody's fucking head.
So, I suggest
you find the fuck who is messing with my business,
and you do it quickly.
Yeah.
Plata o plomo. Means silver or lead.
Why don't you just say it in English next time?
Well, next time I'll just put a bullet in your fucking brain.
Now why don't you turn around and stumble out of here?
Prick.
No shot, Mr. Walker?
Oh, I'm staying off the hard stuff tonight.
White iPhone, it's an interesting choice.
It's my mom's.
She doesn't need it?
No, it's just she's, um, resting comfortably at EP General.
She's having issues with her liver.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
And yet, here I am, drinking beer.
Maybe I'll win son of the year.
I'm sure she wouldn't mind you keeping me company.
Besides, you can't visit her over there late night anyway.
Tsk. Well, she did say that I needed to get out more.
Meet new people.
Billy!
Sorry about the job, dude.
Maybe if you hadn't just gotten out.
Gotten out? As in jail?
Why didn't you tell me?
Well, it's not the greatest icebreaker.
What'd he go to jail for?
It was messed up.
He stopped this guy beating his mom at Geno's.
How's that a crime?
He killed the guy.
Must have been a nightmare for him.
Now his mom's dying over at EP General.
Yeah, Grace Andrews.
Oh, well. You seen Tyler?
No, not lately.
He's not returning my text. That's weird.
What the hell are they doing here?
I have a feeling they're looking for the same guy you are.
Kevin told you?
Damn it.
I didn't mean to scare you.
What are you doing out here, Billy?
I left so quickly today.
You're making a habit of that.
Tsk. Ah, fuck! I don't know.
You don't owe me anything.
You know, I told myself that I wouldn't drink anymore,
because I was drunk that night.
I just did. I...
I flipped when I saw this man hit my mother.
I saw red.
- Let go. Let go. - I ain't done with you yet!
Hey!
I couldn't stop myself.
Billy, don't.
Billy. Billy. Billy. Billy, don't.
No, no, no. No, Billy. No, Billy.
Billy, Billy.
I did seven years.
Seven years for a life.
I don't even know how that math works out. I...
Billy, don't. Don't.
You wanna know the worst lie you can tell?
What?
It's the one you tell yourself.
Grace raised you right.
Why do you say that?
You didn't try to kiss me in the parking lot.
You know I can see you out there, right?
Hah.
Huh? Getting sick of me already?
No. No, I just thought... I don't know.
Maybe I said too much last night.
Oh, don't be so hard on yourself.
All right.
You know you're not the first person to tell me that.
I'm sure I'm not.
Sweet man like you.
Gosh, you're cute.
No, no, no.
Maybe when I was younger, or from the creepy guy
that used to follow me around in the grocery store...
But when it came time to make smart decisions in my life,
or make decisions about men,
that was never cute.
Hey, you tell yourself it's just this once.
It's never gonna happen again.
And it happens again.
You know, I can get him to stop drinking and...
Grace, all I was trying to...
No, no. It just makes things worse
and every man sizes me up in two seconds.
They know everything about me
before they even finish their beer.
You know, it sometimes, it really does change a little.
No, a... a lot, and you just become completely disconnected
to this crappy, crappy,
just reality that you're just stuck in.
Zero, zero control.
All just because you foolishly gave it away.
I didn't mean to stir things up.
No, no, no. Just the opposite.
You are...
the only man that has made me feel cute in a really long time.
Hey.
Hey. What happened to your forehead?
Hunting accident.
You guys got cameras?
Can't be too careful.
Mind if I check the tapes?
Ask for Mike.
You look awful.
I'm supposed to be the only one sick in here.
Hey, they're going to get you one real soon. Okay?
I promise you that.
Well, I wish I shared your optimism.
The nurses keep just looking at me like I'm a lost cause.
You want me to talk to 'em?
No, I have a bodyguard.
Really? Mr. Candle Man?
His name is John.
Is he the reason for that smile you're wearing?
Well, he is the only man
that doesn't look at me like just a piece of beef.
Mm. Maybe he's a vegetarian.
Maybe you're an asshole.
Well, I am the son. That is my role.
Speak of the devil.
John, this is my son.
Billy Walker.
How do you know that?
Mr. Schofield?
Schofield?
John, I did not know.
That your son murdered mine?
I got remarried after I had Billy.
John, please.
Please.
- John? - No.
There's... there's nothing more to say.
John. Please, John. I didn't know.
I didn't know. John.
J.W., I got to hit on your DNA.
He was already in the system.
Walker. Billy. 37.
Ah. Fresh out of the box.
Can you give the info to Somerset when you're finished?
Yeah, absolutely.
Gold Malibu.
Hey there, Bubba.
That's four.
You looking to set a record?
Oh no, I just need a little liquid courage.
For what?
How's your mom doing?
I don't ask. You don't wanna know.
No more shots.
I've got a better idea.
Jen, beer me.
Asshole duty calls.
You seen Tyler?
Why the fuck would I have seen him?
You shouldn't be drinking, bro.
- You're on parole. - Fuck you.
Stop. Stop.
Are you guys dating now or what?
You need to go!
Bro, I didn't mean to...
Blow my shit out of the water?
Why don't you take your daddy's money and fuck off, huh?
- Fuck you! - Stop. Stop.
Hey.
You wanna go back to jail?
You know what, Jen?
Good luck dating that guy.
Got any more advice for me?
- Yeah. - Billy, it's Sarah, your P.O.
- How's the job search going? - It's not.
Fuck!
I heard you boys are looking for me.
Well, here I am.
Goddamn it!
Motherfucker!
Ah, fuck!
I'm gonna kill you. You mother...
You are my sunshine.
My only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are gray.
But you never heard me when I said I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Where's my money?
I know you hear me.
What the fuck, man?
I can't help but imagine
when all this began in your mind.
You didn't think your life would end up
in a fucking slaughterhouse, did you?
Stealing from me means you also stole
from some rough fucking people.
Don't do this.
And the Cowboys?
There's no sense pleading with 'em.
I'm sure you get that.
So, you got one choice, and it's simple.
Where's my money?
Fuck you.
You brought it on yourself.
Let's do it.
Hey, hey.
Now, son, look me in the eye.
Where's my money?
When I first went to prison,
I thought it was tough,
but these guys were fucking maniacs.
So I took my beatings.
Real fucked up shit.
But after a couple years,
I actually started to enjoy it.
I gotta tell you.
That does not bode well for you.
And just why might that be?
Because when I get out of here,
I'm going to take my left thumb,
and I'm going to gouge out your left eyeball with it.
You are more full of shit than a Christmas turkey.
That was the incorrect answer.
Senores, cut off his left thumb.
Where's my money?
I spent it all saving someone.
Is that worth your life, asshole?
Alive!
Your turn. Where's the money?
Fuck you.
That is the incorrect answer.
Twenty three.
Now I guess you'll kill me? Is that your plan?
I'm not a bad guy.
But sometimes we do fucked up shit in this world.
Like stealing my money?
Yeah.
They can take you stealing my money,
but you're not gonna get far.
Because I will hunt you down.
Hey, Doc.
What the hell happened to you?
I got your money.
Welcome back.
Half hour more, you would have bled out.
Oh, man. I don't give a fuck about me.
When can my mom get her liver?
You can't be this stupid.
Whoever you stole this money from
will come looking for it.
So, bury my file.
No, I... I can't. You were admitted.
Eventually this all leads back to my door,
and I didn't go through eight years of medical school
to end up with my head in a fucking ditch.
Are you done lecturing me?
Billy, I got your Mom's enzyme test back.
She's only got a few weeks left.
Even if I took your money,
my guy can't get a liver in time.
God...
Save the tough guy act, all right?
You're only alive right now because of me.
Do you know what I had to do to get that money?
Stop talking.
If you stole this cash from who I think you stole it from,
my guy works for the same people.
They have eyes everywhere.
Yes.
Yes, the same guy.
He's the guy that shot up your cowboys and killed my dealers.
Yes, it's the same goddamn guy!
I'm telling you that right now
and those guys had been with me for a long time.
I want you to do one thing.
I want that kid dead.
You understand me?
Yeah, send the bus. Good.
Fuck!
What happened?
This is the face of a working man.
Quit lying, Billy.
Okay.
No more lies, but you got to do me a favor.
Anything.
I need you to hang on. Okay?
You're so close. You're so close.
Mm. Billy.
Sometimes things just don't work out
the way you want them to.
Mr... Mr. Schofield was treating you right, wasn't he?
It wasn't your fault.
Mom?
Mom, he was a long term kind of guy, right?
I'm not gonna spend the rest of my time on "what ifs".
Hey, Mama?
Mama.
I'm here.
Okay.
Go get cleaned up.
I'm not going anywhere right now.
I'm right here.
Hey there, Bubba.
Yo.
You've been a busy little beaver
since you got out of the joint, ain't you?
Don't make me ask you again, goddamn it.
I ain't got all fucking day.
You know, for what it's worth,
I did it for my mom.
My question is, what made you think
robbing the cartel could save her?
She needs a new liver.
I found out a 160 grand would get her new one.
Oh, shit. I feel your pain, kid.
I got my own money problems.
Hold it.
Turn around.
Get on your fucking knees.
One question. What was in Tyler's house?
Girls.
Young. Scared. Tied up.
I let 'em go.
Why?
It's the right thing to do.
You're gonna die, kid.
But it doesn't mean I have to be the one that pulls the trigger.
But Reynolds and those cowboys,
they'll hunt you down and find you
as sure as I'm standing here.
Get out of El Paso, kid.
Keep runnin' and don't look back.
This piece of shit has a name. Billy Walker.
And I want you to educate him about pain.
Mr. Schofield.
You don't belong in here.
This is the Lord's house.
Not a second goes by where I don't think about your boy.
Don't you dare.
Don't you dare stand there and justify it.
Not to me. Not ever.
Nothing I'll say could do that.
What do you want?
I need a favor.
What? You want a favor!
- A favor from me, huh? - John!
- Huh! How about... - Let go of him right now!
This is the bastard who destroyed my life.
Take it outside.
I will not have violence in my church.
Now go. Please. Just leave. Go, go.
Come, John. Sit, please.
Come on.
- I'm sorry. - I know. I know.
Sit down. Sit down.
Hey, Mr. Walker.
You need to call me back right now.
Hey, I need an APB on Billy.
You're not the mom.
No, I'm the cop.
Really?
Is there something I can help you boys with?
Not really.
I'm just a guy who always felt that...
cops get in the way.
They warned me don't ever kill a cop.
Well, my patience has worn out, and you're in the way.
Now, you're not in the way,
and that's enough of that.
Just hear me out, please.
No, I don't want to hear it.
Boy, you got some balls.
What you come here what? Looking for forgiveness?
Yeah, fine. Go on in. Fall on your knees,
but you're not going to get it from me.
Take care of my mother.
What?
She never did anything wrong, man.
Only mistake she ever made was having me.
I've seen the way she looks at you.
I've never seen her smile like that before.
If there really is a God,
then you're falling for her, too.
Don't you know your mother is dying?
She doesn't have to.
You know...
I've never been able to do one thing for my mom.
But now I can.
Look, it doesn't matter how much money you got in there.
You can't change her fate.
I think I can.
And you work at El Paso General.
You can get us the drugs that we're gonna need.
Drugs for what?
I wanna give my mom my liver.
We're a perfect match. We're both AB negative, please.
Ah, you haven't thought this through.
Besides, it's completely illegal.
People are coming after me.
What do you mean? What people?
That's not important.
The point is, I've been everywhere I'm gonna go.
My chances are all used up. Man, I'm... I'm done.
Please. I'm asking you, please.
We're sitting here in a church courtyard...
and you're asking me to help take a life.
No.
I'm asking you to help save one.
What can I get you?
This kid's name is Billy.
He thinks he's a unique individual.
Have you ever seen him?
Never seen him.
You're sure?
Yeah, I never forget an asshole in my bar.
I got $500 in my pocket, cash,
for anybody here in the bar
who can tell me where Billy Walker is at?
Who got the five?
No help. No help.
I don't know him.
You've got game, ma'am.
Hey, are you serious about the money?
El Paso General. He's probably there.
How would you know that?
His mom. She's a patient there.
Actually, she's dying.
And that dude, he's a serious mama's boy.
Grace Andrews?
Yeah, that's her.
Did they tell you?
Hey, guys, can I get a second?
No problem.
Yeah. I told you.
Dr. Perkins is a miracle worker.
I'm still in shock.
You worried about the surgery?
No.
I just never thanked you.
For what?
I spoke with my PO.
She told me what you did.
Sarah wasn't supposed to tell you.
Yeah. Don't be mad.
She's a mom, too.
She actually came by to check on you.
Many thanks. She's an angel.
You know...
You got me through everything.
I'm a mother. That's my role.
Sir, we need to get your mom back to prep.
Yeah. Listen.
Don't worry. Okay. You're gonna be fine.
I'll see you the second I get out.
Okay.
What is it?
Nothing.
Sometimes things do work out the way you want them to.
Bye, Mom.
That money is a great gift.
You'll send it?
Thanks, man.
You're helping a bunch of people.
Here's the needle.
Good luck.
You sure about this?
Then, uh...
Something I better get off my chest.
The mother... or the son.
Now go get it done.
I wasn't a very good...
I wasn't any kind of father at all,
or a husband, for that matter.
You know, um, the thing is...
I can't even...
I can't picture my son as a baby, or as a little boy.
I can't. I can't.
Isn't it terrible?
I wasn't the kind of man
the boy should look up to or learn from,
but I guess he did.
I... I guess I taught him... anger.
What he got from me was rage.
I wasn't in the room that night, but...
I'm the one who taught him to double up his fists.
See, I was less than a man.
Do have that list ready for me?
- Yes. - Awesome. Thank you.
I was just a sad and a vicious monster.
Nurse said she was this way.
Sir, you can't come in here.
The woman headed for surgery, is her name Grace Andrews?
No. Schofield.
Excuse me.
The thing is.
When... When Grace looked at me...
When... Whenever she looks at me...
I don't need to get any closer to God than that.
I deeply love your mother.
I know.
Just take care of her.
I will.
Okay.
Aah.
I think I'm ready.
Rest in peace.
I will.
Hold it.
You lucky fuck. You got off easy.
What happened?
DOA.
A gunshot and multiple stab wounds.
Are you family?
You don't seem too sure what you just told me.
What about the mom?
I just work in the morgue.
You don't look like somebody that works at the morgue.
Well, you don't look like family.
Goddammit!
Pendejo dirt bag.
You came back?
We both did.
Oh. Where's Billy?
He said he had to go.
Did he do something stupid again?
He didn't say,
but he did ask me to... take care of you.
You're gonna need a nurse.
What'd you say?
I said yes.
You rest now. Huh?
Plenty of time now for everything else.
Okay.
I thought you gave that shit up.
What's good for the goose.
You found the mother, right?
Yep. Died of liver failure.
And the money? That die, too?
She had a hundred bucks in her bank account.
You want it?
You remember what I said?
You threatening me?
I tried to, but you didn't get it.
So how about this?
You know, I really didn't care about the drugs.
But the girls, children, really.
We found 32 sets of DNA
inside a six year old little girl.
Just one of thousands.
You had to go and be animals.
Not me. Fuck you!
Oink yourself to death, you pig.
I'll see you in hell.
You're welcome, kid.
This is Det. John Wayne Asher.
We'll need a bus and a coroner at the old Reynolds' ranch.
I got it.
Well...
Oh.
Here.
Okay.
- Up. - Okay.
Where to, ma'am?
Surprise me.
Ready?
There's a real evil in the world, Mom,
a pure evil.
I've seen it.
It tends to follow men like me.
So, I had to go.
I'm not sure where I'll end up.
But please know that I'm leaving here with a peaceful feeling.
I believe in good. I just never drifted that way.
I believe in you.
I believe in John,
and I believe that we'll be together again someday
in another time and place.
Always with you... Billy.
