Dude, my brother got robbed.
No way.
No for real.
This guy comes in with a semiautomatic and a ski mask.
They catch him?
No, luckily nobody got hurt.
No-hander-lander!
What?
No-hander-lander, dude!
Shut up, Trent.
Will you not slam the door like that?
Well I'm surprised you can hear anything.
The TV's so damn loud.
Yeah I heard him a million times too but..
Made ya something, ham and cheese.
Hmm.
I never thought much about the people before,
they were always just somebody to put up the bleachers.
And when they didn't come in to see me pitch, you know.
Lately I've been watching.
What are you watching?
I don't know.
They were hungry for-
all right.
I'll be in the rv if you need anything.
This is good.
I know how they feel.
I've been lonely and hungry for something
practically all my life.
How you liking that Swedish massage?
Nice body high, right?
Yeah.
Good name.
Yeah.
Legalization happening is just, it's all about branding now.
Oh, you still owe me 30 for that eighth, by the way.
Hmm, shit I'm sorry.
Things have been kind of slow.
I wouldn't bring it up, but,
I got a car payment now.
I just bought a Nissan.
Oh, and I got your biz card.
A privit custodian?
Is that right?
Huh?
Shit, should be private.
I'll get that fixed.
You know, it's really ma's company, it's not mine.
But she's retired, right?
As your personal marketing advisor,
I think you should be getting your name out there.
Lean and clean, baby.
Great shield signs, huge.
Hey, listen guys, take a look at it.
Might be able to show you one here.
I'll just be right back.
Just stopped by to chase away my customers?
I think I got these two on the hook, seriously.
How you been, bud?
I've been good, how about yourself?
Ah, we got a recall on all the adventurer classics.
Oh shit.
I think I'm pre-ulcer.
- Come on in my office. - Okay, yeah.
Sit down.
How's your mom doing?
Oh, ma's doing good.
You know, she's still piss and vinegar.
I'll bet.
Hey, remember that day I told the lady
I'd help reseal her driveway
if she signed on the dotted line?
You told her I was gonna help you too.
That's it.
Five comfort deluxes before sundown.
It's still a dealership record.
Yeah.
So listen, Doug, what do you say?
I think it's time for me to get back out there on the lot
and help you sell some rvs.
You saw me with those two.
Still too soon.
Rob stahlman's still a loyal customer.
He gets his rv serviced here even after you..
Look, I don't blame you, buck
we all have bad days, but.
Well.
You shouldn't have invited them without asking me.
Come on, you're going to change your mind later anyways.
Hey.
You just want me to tell him not to come.
I don't care.
- Hi - hi.
I'm Becky,
we just moved in across the street.
Hi Becky, I'm Sharon.
Are those tomatoes?
Yeah,
try that.
Just take a bite?
Yeah, like it's an apple.
Okay.
Oh wow, that's incredible.
The secret is that you Bury the stems sideways.
Okay.
Do you want any help?
No, I'm good.
It's good for my arthritis.
Is that your boyfriend?
Yeah that's Trent.
We're having a house warming party at our place tonight.
Do you wanna come, maybe?
You got a cold beer?
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
Told you he'd go running.
What the hell is going on?
Well when he 'aint up there on the video
and he had to do it to say the whole thing's a frame-up.
What happened?
Oh, the remote died.
And I got up to change the channel and I rolled my ankle.
Let me take a look at it.
Jesus, it's swollen.
It's fine, it's fine.
No, this needs to be looked at.
Oh, we'll do it tomorrow.
Where'd you get the beers?
Ah, well,
the new girl across the way, Becky,
she gave me one.
One?
What, one six pack?
You Becky?
You girls know who Becky is?
Do you know Becky?
Who's Becky?
You know Becky?
All of that time.
Also doesn't mean that you can be a bitch to my face.
It's not fair.
Are you Becky?
Yeah.
I'm buck, I live across the way.
Oh, you're Sharon's son.
- Yeah. - Yeah,
she was talking about you.
Listen, how many beers did she have to drink?
Um, I don't.
I mean four maybe, I don't really know.
How do you know she's not on medication or a diabetic?
Oh, she's diabetic?
I didn't know that, I'm sorry.
No, but she just had a bad fall
and we could use a lift to the hospital.
- You can use my Van. - Yeah?
Yeah.
Okay, thanks.
I'm gonna go get my mother.
Okay,
watch your step here.
I know, okay.
Well, ma, I hope it was worth it.
Oh shut up.
Hey listen, we appreciate the ride.
You guys don't have a car?
Ma had a Jeep but the transmission blew last summer.
What about that rv?
Look, might as well be a boat.
Doesn't run.
Careful.
Okay, ma, take it easy getting in.
- All right, watch the ankle. - You got it.
- Oh, oh, oh. - Easy, easy.
All right.
That doesn't work, gotta get in through the back.
All right,
oh shit, keys are inside.
So is it just you two?
Pretty much, yeah.
I'm really sorry that this happened.
So if you need any help or another lift or anything.
Don't worry about it.
Listen, I'm sorry I came on so strong up there.
No, seriously, please ask,
please ask.
- Thanks. - Let it rip.
Good morning.
Morning, prescription for enderly.
All right.
Twice a day as needed.
62.98.
Wait, that can't be right, it's under medicaid.
They put it on the excluded drug list last year.
Son of a bitch.
Are you getting those two?
No I'm gonna put those back.
Ah, 75.
- There you go. - Thank you.
- Excuse me. - Yep.
Hello, pharmacy.
Yeah.
Great.
Sir, come with me, please.
Bring your stuff.
You should be embarrassed.
You think I'm proud to be sitting back here?
The manager isn't pressing charges.
No?
Then why am I cuffed?
To show you how lucky you are that I got the call.
Otherwise you'd be on your way to processing right now.
Then what would we do?
We, we, Craig?
We are broke man.
And speaking of broke,
ma broke her ankle.
What?
Well, it's a hairline fracture
happened when she got up to change the channel
on her god damned TV.
The batteries were for her remote.
Why didn't you just call me?
I haven't seen you in months.
I'm sorry I haven't been around.
Am I free to go?
I bought these for you.
Thanks.
It says take with food.
There is no food.
Got plenty of food.
What do you want?
Chinese.
I'll make us some pasta.
We just had pasta.
Ma, I'm not ordering Chinese.
Guess who I ran into at the pharmacy?
Jimmy Carter?
Nope.
Craig.
Is he sick?
What was he doing at the pharmacy?
I don't know.
Picking something up, I guess.
I don't want you hanging around.
This should work now.
Ah.
How's that?
That's great, babe.
Not too much pressure?
Oh no, feels so good.
Because I don't want your hammies tender, isn't it?
You're the best.
- Ah. - Now just go a little deeper.
Okay, it just hurts my back
when it goes like that.
Did you call the chiropractor?
No.
Oh, hey bucko.
Guys.
You ah, you not get our note?
Note, oh shit.
I forgot about that, I'm sorry.
Yeah, we might actually, well,
we don't need you for a few weeks.
A few weeks?
Yeah, we might be going on a little bit of a trip.
Oh wow, okay.
Well, since I'm here, is there anything you guys need, or?
Um,
you got five minutes to chat in the garage?
Thing is, we've known each other a long time, you're family.
Your mom cleaned our house, now you clean our house,
- you know? - Right.
And you do a good job.
This has nothing to do with that, trust me.
Thanks.
It's just the thing is, last few weeks,
things have seemed a bit unprofessional, you know.
Laura and I, we keep very particular schedules,
and when you're running behind
it really tends to interrupt our flow.
And then today.
Jim, I'm sorry about today.
Things have been hectic.
Ma hurt her ankle.
Oh shit.
Yeah.
She okay?
Ah, she'll be fine.
That's good.
It's pretty potent Swedish massage.
Listen, I get it.
It won't happen again, I promise.
No, I know.
It's just, the truth of the matter is, buck,
we've had to cut way back.
I wish things were different,
but Laura, she's a real penny pitcher.
I mean, she's got it down to a science.
And hey, no hard feelings.
And we'll let you know when we need you back.
- Okay. - Okay?
Don't get down.
And those two boxes going to goodwill,
four of those hit the rack,
we're gonna give you first crack at 'em.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Oh, reminds me.
Carlene Briggs, our neighbor,
she was asking about you.
She might need a housekeeper.
Which house?
Down at the end on the right side,
about four houses down.
You oughta follow up.
Maybe land a new client, what do you know?
- Think I will. - Okay.
Does this work?
I don't know what that is.
Jim and Laura mentioned to me
that you take care of your mother.
Um, you know, do what I can.
- Oh. - Heh.
Oh, is this you?
Ah, yes.
I sang at the officer's club down in 29 palms.
That is until I had my son.
- No kidding. - Hmm.
Wow, what'd you sing?
Like classic rock or disco?
Oh.
Oh goodness no, now the officers may have wanted it,
but not their wives.
Ah,
I see.
Would you like for me to sing you a song?
- Sing me a song? - Yes, buck.
Well, yeah, sure.
That'd be great.
♪ Baby, don't put the blame on me ♪
♪ I'm only human, can't you see ♪
♪ I never meant to break all the promises ♪
♪ I made to you ♪
♪ baby ♪
Oh, its..
Don't stop.
Wow, you have a great singing voice.
Thank you.
Well, Mrs. Briggs, you have a lovely place.
I have to say it's spotless.
I'm surprised you don't have a cleaning service already.
I don't want you to clean my house, buck.
I want you to find my son.
Your son?
Andrew.
I haven't seen him in quite some time.
He used to stop by when he needed money.
And then he stopped.
Right.
Well to be perfectly honest,
I don't think I'm qualified for this.
Shouldn't you hire a detective or someone
- who finds... no, no, no.
I can't have anyone involved
that could get Andrew into more trouble.
More trouble?
What kind of trouble are you talking-
- buck,
I'm going to pay you $1,000.
Okay.
Ma?
Did you hear me yelling?
- Oh shit, I'm sorry. - Oh.
What happened?
I fell, ugh.
Where's your cane.
I couldn't find my cane.
Geez, you okay?
Do I look okay?
Well, I don't know.
Get me to the toilet
- okay. - Before I piss myself.
All right,
get the light.
Oh.
- Okay, good. - Okay.
- All right.
I'll be right here.
Get me to the toilet.
You don't want me to be in there with you, do you?
Oh don't make a big deal about this.
I'm not making a big deal.
Okay, hang on.
Buck, I don't like being cooped up here all the time.
I'm sorry, but you know, I gotta work.
- Maybe this'll help though. - Hmm.
If you need something,
you just yell into that thing
and I can hear you on the other end here.
Okay.
Need anything?
All right, good night.
See you tomorrow.
Buck!
The lamp went out.
Hey.
Morning.
Who the fuck is it?
It's too early for this shit.
It's our neighbor, shut up.
I'm sorry it's so early.
It's okay, don't worry about it.
How is Sharon doing?
She's doing all right.
That's actually why I'm here.
I hate to ask this, but would you mind keeping this nearby?
Is that a baby monitor?
Yeah.
Like, for a baby?
Yeah.
It's in case my mom needs anything.
She probably won't.
I just have to run a few errands
and I'd really appreciate it.
- Yeah, no problem, yeah. - Yeah, it's okay, really?
- Thanks, Becky. - Yeah.
You ever sell to a guy named Andrew Briggs?
Thanks, man.
Briggs,
Briggs.
Nah, I don't think so, man.
Why?
His mom's trying to find him.
She asked me to help.
Why you?
I don't know.
She's paying me though.
Oh yeah, that reminds me.
- Oh, dude! - Yeah.
I respect the hustle.
Yo, you check his Facebook?
Instagram,
Snapchat,
Twitter?
Is he on that tumblr shit?
I don't know what tumblr is.
Listen, I run background checks on new clients,
might be able to dig something up.
Background checks?
You know, market research.
Could you run a background check on me?
Bucko.
No way.
Andrew fuckin' Briggs.
2883 cathedral drive, apartment 104.
What are the chances that this is him?
I don't fuckin' know.
Thanks, man.
It's worth a shot.
And speaking of worth a shot, I got this fresh batch
of warm bubble bath sitting in the car
just waiting for us to Blaze it.
Excuse me.
Here to clean apartment 104, they booked the basic cleaning.
Should only take an hour or so.
You spelled private wrong.
Yeah, I know.
I'm getting that fixed.
That tenant is locked out.
Apartment 104,
Andrew Briggs.
Yeah, owes three months rent.
Oh, if you see Mr. Briggs
you tell him that he has till the end of the week
or I'm pitching his shit.
All right, thanks.
Say, do you have a phone I could use?
Yeah, I knew you were bullshitting me.
Tweakers don't usually get their floors mopped.
You narcotics?
Ah, no, no, not officially.
Just here on a tip.
Yeah, well I figured it was only a matter of time
before you guys showed up.
Have you ever seen him deal out of the apartment?
Naw, but you could tell he was into some bad shit.
When's the last time you saw Briggs?
I gave him his notice last week.
Did he tell you where he was going or leave a forwarding address?
He didn't say a word.
We'll let you know when we're done in here.
Don't bother.
Dammit, buck, you said you needed your shop vac.
You didn't say anything about drugs.
Okay, relax, I'm sorry.
I'm trying to help a lady find her son.
What lady?
Carlene Briggs, lives across
from the russells, remember ma's old clients?
Yeah.
She wants me to help her find her son.
Hey, Craig.
Yeah.
Check it out.
This is him.
He looks like shit.
14, there's a 459 in progress
at 1550 west cabrillo.
Repeat, 459 in progress at 1550 west cabrillo.
Please advise.
Copy that, I'm in route.
Time to go.
Can't help you anymore.
If you keep at this,
you're gonna end up in handcuffs
that I can't get you out of.
Hey, what's a 459?
Breaking and entering,
which is exactly what we're doing,
now let's go.
What's wrong?
Kayla.
Voila.
No, no that's too bright.
Turn it off.
I'll be in the rv, ma, if you need anything.
Listen, I want you to hose down underneath that thing,
otherwise we're gonna get mice.
There are no mice, ma.
Shep's your dog, and nobody else's.
So I'm giving him back to you,
right now.
Nevermind the dog, Tommy.
Tommy you go collect some wood-
Hey.
Rusty.
Well, Joseph, how are ya?
Merry Christmas.
How about it, on the house.
Hope you traded that for a shiner.
I started it.
Listen, we have a couch in ma's trailer,
she wouldn't mind.
I sleep out here.
Thanks.
Where did you two meet, you and your boyfriend?
Ah, at like, a show.
He was in the opening band.
Yeah?
They any good?
No, they suck.
Who is that?
- That one? - Mm-hm.
That's the ex-fiance.
Can I guess?
Um,
you were like an insurance guy,
um, and then she, like, worked next door
at a nail salon or something.
And then one day you guys met in the parking lot
and you talked for a little bit
and you asked her out on a date.
That is unbelievable.
- Really? - Really.
You're not even close.
I'm usually so good at that.
I mean, I'm pretty good at it.
Yeah.
Well, the story goes I was an rv salesman at a dealership.
That was the new year's Eve party
tight before I bought this baby.
We were gonna fix it up,
take a trip cross country, you know, go to Niagara Falls,
stuff like that.
And then I lost all my money
and things didn't last long after that.
Sorry, I'm sorry.
I don't, I don't mean to pry.
It's okay.
Let me ask you something.
You ever seen this guy around?
Um,
ah, no.
- No? - No, I don't think so, mm-mm.
Did you try the stardust?
Stardust?
That is the painting
that they have on, like, the back wall of the stardust
- diner. - It is?
- Coffee? - That'd be great, thank you.
- Thanks. - Mm-hm.
Oh, can I ask you a question.
Hm?
This kid work here?
Andrew Briggs.
Briggs, yeah.
He was a line cook.
Picked up his check one day and never came back.
He say anything about where he was going
or another job or something?
You some kind of a
relative or something?
Sort of.
Hmm.
Sorry to hear that.
Hey.
I know Andy.
You do?
Yeah,
he used to work here.
Any idea where he went to,
another job, anything?
Nah, I haven't
even talked to him in like months.
All right, well thanks.
- Good luck. - Thanks.
You know he used to talk about this bar all the time.
The deviled egg.
No, no pickles.
Pickled egg.
He went there all the time.
Okay, right.
Hey, thanks.
Yeah.
Here put your sunglasses on.
You know it's hot as hell out here, I could use a beer.
Do I need to take you to another meeting?
No.
You gotta follow through, bucky.
Oh, will you water my tomato plants please?
Okay.
- Don't overdo it. - I won't.
- And wait until- - yes, until morning.
I've gone through this drill before.
Well do it right.
Hey, Chuck.
Who's Chuck?
He's our neighbor, been there for eight years.
Oh, I don't know him.
So what did you drag me out here for anyway?
I was curious.
If someone has a criminal background, traffic tickets,
things like that, would I be able to find that out
down at public records?
Is this about the missing kid?
Yes, it's about the missing kid.
Listen, I'm just trying to help.
I'm not asking you to do anything
and I just need your advice.
What's this?
I already ran his info.
You did?
Battery charges in 2008,
unlawful possession of a controlled substance in 2009,
grand larceny in 2012,
filed by carlene Briggs.
That one landed him in county lockup for six months.
Wow.
This is messy, buck.
You don't need to get involved in it.
I gotta get going.
Wait.
I asked Vanessa to marry me.
Already?
Just don't tell ma, all right?
I wanna tell her myself.
I'm not gonna say anything.
Congratulations.
Hey, thanks.
All right, I'll see you later.
See ya.
So where is shep?
I'm gonna found out about that noise.
Nothing-
Paul aikers took me to see this
on our first date.
Tried to feel me up the whole time.
Ah, we didn't last long.
He was too short.
You don't like short guys?
Well I, no, I like short guys,
it's just that that's all I can remember about him.
So what happened?
We didn't fit.
Can I tell you something?
Mm-hm.
Um,
Trent,
he's, um.
I don't think we fit.
Sounds like you know you don't fit.
Yeah, but it's better than being alone, I guess, right?
I don't know, kiddo.
I don't know.
Let's get some cold beers.
What can I get ya?
Hi, cold bottled beer, whatever you got.
Thanks, hey, let me ask you a question.
You ever seen this guy around here?
No.
What about you, sir?
You ever see this guy around here?
Hey, you're bethy, right?
Becky, yeah.
Yeah, Becky.
I'm Donnie.
I was at your party last week.
Yes.
Oh, oh, sorry.
Is that your mom?
Becky didn't have a party, that was bethy.
- Bethy. - Yeah, bethy.
Um, no, this is Sharon.
We are gonna shotgun these beers in the parking lot.
Or we might even machine gun 'em.
Oh, you might want to go around back though
so the cops don't see.
For sure, thank you.
Nice choice.
Thanks.
My name's buck.
Buck.
Is that a name you use to pick up the ladies?
No, it's the name I use all the time,
it's short for Warren.
Hm, Warren, that sounds like somebody's uncle.
I'm kristi.
Kristi.
Now kristi sounds like somebody's cousin.
Nice to meet you.
Oh.
You look like shit, buck.
Thanks.
What were you doing last night?
Almost called Craig.
Working.
Uh-huh, cleaning houses at midnight.
You better not have been hitting those card tables.
Wasn't at the card tables.
Did you stay over last night?
Yeah, we had fun, right?
I can see that.
Ma, you shouldn't be drinking
while you're on your pain meds.
Becky, she's in recovery.
- I know, I'm sorry, I.. - This is ridiculous.
I appreciate you staying over though, keeping an eye on her.
You do don't need to keep an eye on me.
Your ankles hurt.
I'm in perfect health.
Craig wants to have dinner.
He's getting married.
Isn't that nice.
I haven't had any luck.
I found Andrew's apartment.
He wasn't there.
Hm, where was he living?
On the east side.
Oh.
I did find this.
Oh, my boy.
He was working at the stardust diner.
Uh-huh, he was managing a diner.
I think he was a line cook.
A chef.
Yeah, yeah he was a chef.
Was he still driving that buick?
I don't know what, what kind of buick?
Oh, that was an 87 grand national.
We went to the lot together to buy it
and I of course helped him pay for it.
He loved that buick.
Well, I can look into that.
Oh, thank you.
He's just, he's beautiful.
Hold on a minute.
This is for the rest of the month.
Mrs. Briggs, this is uh, made out for $2,000.
I can't, that's too much.
Well, I don't have much time.
I'm sure that Andrew will come around eventually.
I don't have much time left.
They found tumors.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, me too.
What are you gonna do?
Andrew and I got into a very big fight
that I was really angry
and I said some terrible things to him, terrible.
I,
I can't let it end like that.
I need to tell him I love him.
I understand.
Can I show you something?
Now this is his journal.
You might find something in here.
Don't judge him for it, he was young.
I'll make sure you get this back.
"Ditched school today and followed j to the mall.
I wish I could smash her boyfriend's face in with a pipe
so she'll never want to look at him again."
Geez, are you sure you wanna find this guy?
I mean everyone's morbid in high school, right?
I graduated high school two years ago
and I didn't wanna smash anyone's face in with a pipe.
Thing is she's sick.
She deserves to see him no matter what he did.
"Someday I'm gonna buy a trans am,
midnight black with white trim,
drive to some small town in Mexico and run the place."
Maybe the car thing, maybe there's something to that.
His mother said that he loved his car.
You think it's worth giving a garage a try?
Yo, we should swag the side of the rv
with some airbrushing.
Slap your logo on it.
I don't have a logo.
See, we gotta work on that, brother.
Hey, how you doin'?
I'm buck, this is James.
What's up, dude?
And you are?
I'm Hector, how can I help you guys?
Well, we were wondering
if you've ever seen this guy around here?
Let me ask you guys something, man.
You guys cops or what?
- No, no. - Nah, man.
I'm in marketing and distribution,
and this one's on the house.
You see his mom's looking for him
and I'm just trying to help her out, she's really sick.
Right, he's friends with a couple of mechanics
around here, but he only shows up
like maybe once a month, twice at most,
you know what I'm saying?
- Really? - At most.
Huh.
He still drive that 87 grand national?
Nah, he sold that piece of shit.
Why'd he sell it?
'Cause it's a piece of shit.
Word.
Any idea how we can get in touch with him?
Nah, I ain't got a clue, man.
I don't keep tabs on people.
Fair enough.
Well, would you mind hanging on to this,
and if he comes in, please tell him to give me a call.
Yeah, I'll see what I can do.
Ah, hold up, man.
Ah, what the fuck is a "privit custodian", huh?
Ah, private.
Yo, my printer fucked up, my bad man.
The problem with this card, man, is there is no preferation.
You know what I'm saying?
It's not laminated nothing, man.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I know.
Phone number's good though, that's correct.
Hey, you might as well put your number on a napkin,
you know what I mean?
See you around, thanks, Hector.
Later.
I'll keep that.
- Thank you. - Officer enderly,
I would just like to say that I sleep better at night
knowing that a hero like yourself,
an entrenched member of the criminal justice system,
is out there keeping us all safe.
Um, thank you.
Did you guys hear about that cop
that was like giving rides home to middle school kids?
They found a bunch of them tied up in his basement.
It was all over the news.
It was crazy.
So do you two help take care of Sharon?
No, I don't need anybody to help take care of me.
She didn't mean anything by it.
I just thought this was gonna be a family thing.
These are our guests.
This is delicious, ma.
Oh, thanks.
I kinda burnt the heirlooms though.
Oh, no worries Mrs. Enderly.
I'm diggin' on the char.
So Vanessa and I have some exciting news
we'd like to share.
I asked the big question and um,
she said yes.
- So we're getting- - buck told us.
What part of don't tell mom didn't you understand?
It just slipped out.
It's not a big deal.
Where are you guys getting married?
We're gonna keep it simple.
Go down to the courthouse.
Straight and legal, nice.
You're ashamed
of your trailer trash mother and brother.
That's what it is.
You know that that's bullshit, mom.
You don't want her to have to tell her family
that you're marrying into a bunch of rednecks.
Why do you always get like this?
I have never used the term redneck.
Well the correct way to put it is rural working class.
- That's true. - Yep.
Okay, but I've never said that either.
You know, it doesn't matter what you've said.
You're the reason that our Craig doesn't come to visit us.
Hm, that's..
Did it ever occur to you that Craig doesn't visit
anymore because he doesn't want to.
No, wait a minute.
You know, you've always had lousy taste in women,
admit it.
What, what, what are you even talking about, ma?
You always did.
You're bitter.
Bitter sweet, sugar tits.
That's it we're going.
- I don't know why I try. - Come on guys, don't go.
- And you! - What did I do?
You told her, so she had time to stew in it.
Come on, Craig, guys come back.
Everyone just needs to chill out.
- Officer enderly. - Ma, what are you,
where you going?
To get a six pack.
For crying out loud.
Sharon.
Wait up.
Hey, the store is closed.
It's Sunday.
Why aren't you happy for them?
He's trying to like share this with you
and you need to be a part of it,
even if you think he's like,
if you think he's making a mistake,
you need to be a part of it.
You know, I loved Craig's father.
I really did.
But we brought out the worst in each other.
We'd drink and we'd laugh,
and then we'd drag each other down into the cracks.
Then one night he up and leaves
and Craig blamed me for it.
He blamed me.
He went out and he moved in with some girl, pregnant,
not his.
Well that was a mess.
Let's go back.
Becky!
The fuck were you last night?
I stayed at Sharon's.
Let's go, right now.
You are fucked up, go home.
- Stop trying to show off. - Don't touch me!
Get your shit out of the house, we're done!
You don't mean that.
Don't!
Fuck!
Fuckin' chipped my tooth,
you crazy bitch.
Okay, you're gonna stay with us until he moves out.
And sometimes alone is better.
Okay.
Woo!
Buckets.
Oh, man.
You know, maybe the bike can be an angle.
An angle?
Yeah, like, you know,
we get some pics of you on it and play up the green factor,
at least for local cleanings.
- Not a bad idea. - Hey, buck.
Yeah?
You have a phone call.
Phone call?
Smokin'.
What's going on, Becky?
Smokin'.
Who is this?
Yeah.
So listen, I went to your apartment
and your building manager said you got kicked out.
Where you living these days?
Why have you been looking for me?
Well, your mother wants to see you.
What the fuck does this have to do with my mother?
She's sick.
She doesn't know how much longer she has left.
I know you two have had your history,
and I think she just wants to..
My mother feels guilty because she was a terrible mom.
Should think about giving her a call.
Did she tell you about
how she used to lock me in my bedroom,
whenever she'd bring guys home from the piano bar.
And I always knew it was coming
because she put on her dangle earrings.
She used to call 'em her little tuning forks.
She had this boyfriend, used to knock me around
when I got old enough to speak my mind.
She told me I deserved it.
Maybe she wants to apologize, you know,
work through that stuff-
- yeah, well she doesn't get to do that!
You see this is still all about her.
You see I'm still a burden.
I was a burden then, I'm a burden now.
And that guilt, that's what's making her sick.
So what are you gonna tell her?
I don't know, maybe I'll tell her that you're
looking good.
Order up, buck.
Thanks, I'll get it in a minute.
Take care, buck.
Don't be afraid to disappear.
You know, I find it hard to believe
that you're willing just to let her go.
Yeah well, believe what you want.
Tell me this then.
Why is there a cassette of her singing in your tape player?
My mother has a beautiful singing voice.
Get it in a minute.
I'm gonna use the restroom.
Money.
You, don't move.
Where's buck?
Think about what you're doing, Briggs.
Now, you sure you wanna go through with this?
Shut up.
Money from the register.
- Okay. - Bag it, do it quickly.
All right let me get the paper.
Come on.
Okay, just.
Come on.
You see, here is it, here.
Jesus Christ.
Tell her, tell her..
Gonna eat those fries?
Those fries?
Buck.
Do you want those fries?
I think your father's suit is in here somewhere.
I've got a suit, ma.
Well, I know,
but I think you'd look good in your father's suit.
Hey look who stopped by.
Craig came to apologize.
Let me talk to buck for a bit, ma.
Okay?
What's up?
Maybe we should talk in the rv.
What's going on?
Andrew Briggs was found dead last night.
What?
Robbery gone bad at the stardust diner,
two employees, an armed customer and Briggs
all in the morgue.
Holy shit.
I told you to stay out of this whole thing with Briggs.
Right, that maintenance guy,
he can place the two of us in Briggs apartment.
What happens when they question him?
Why would they do that?
We are looking for another suspect.
Where did you eat last night, buck?
Come on, give me a break, Craig.
This is ridiculous.
You want me to talk to the detectives?
I will.
These investigations are thorough, buck.
They'll check purchase activity, phone records.
They're gonna question friends, neighbors, relatives.
Will they question carlene Briggs?
I'm on my way to notify her right now.
Now wait a minute.
I can tell you sure as yesterday,
she's not gonna shed any light on the situation.
She deserves to know her son is dead.
Then let me do it.
She doesn't need a uniform showing up at her front door
and turning her world upside down.
Craig.
I need your help.
All right, I appreciate it.
Yeah, man.
- Come by later. - Alright.
When I was a little boy,
I used to lie out the evenings
watching the shadows cross over.
I used to imagine they were all sorts of things,
dragons fighting, giants lying there sleeping,
and great big monster that might come down-
- ma.
Mm-hm.
I'm gonna take a trip in the rv
and I want you to come with me.
So you're gonna be adventurous.
That's why I bought it, to see the country.
You haven't been any place in that thing.
Where you gonna go?
I don't know.
Niagara Falls.
Oh lord, here we go again.
Oh no.
Hey,
I mean it this time.
We drive each other nuts.
I don't think we drive each other nuts,
I think we'd be just fine.
Think about it, okay.
I'll see you in the morning.
That's when I heard the shots.
I came out and I saw Andrew on the floor.
And I went to his side.
And he told me something right before he died.
He said, tell her not to be scared.
I,
I thought you should have this.
I,
Found it in his cassette player.
It must have meant a lot to him
to hold on to that for so long.
Would you sing me a song?
