fire to it.
I hope you're not saying
what I think you're saying.
'Cause Pete was up there,
you know, with the McCormacks
all night long with dozens
of other people.
So he had nothing to do
with that fire.
I see you all have been making
a few home improvements.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, about time,
you know?
Yeah, about time.
Sure, I know.
I was wondering,
Good help like this
doesn't come cheap.
And what I heard was
you're out of work
these days.
Fuck you, Ludlow.
They're not gonna use
this story either, are they?
No, they're not.
Nobody died, am I right?
That's right.
Nobody died.
I wanted to go to
the McCormack house today...
get the father on camera
saying, "no comment,"
show everyone
what he's like
that nothing
means nothing to him.
I pushed them, Ave.
I wouldn't let off it.
I didn't think
They transferred me
to another affiliate
In Boise.
I lost, Ave.
And I let you down.
Oh my God.
I need to speak
with your husband, ma'am.
Oh my God.
I'm sorry.
It's your husband who needs
to see this, ma'am, not you.
Why are you
doing this to us?
I don't mean
any disrespect,
but I'm afraid you've got
that wrong, ma'am,
about who's done
what to who.
Can't you please
just leave us alone?
Where is he,
Mrs. McCormack?
Right here.
Goddamn lunatic
coming here.
Sometimes the only way
to know a thing, Mr. McCormack,
is to know it first hand.
- You're trespassing.
- See it,
taste it,
touch it.
And then you'll know it.
Somebody burned my store
down last night.
A few nights back,
somebody threw a rock
through my window.
But I'm not here
about any of that.
I'm here...
about this.
Get that goddamn thing
out of here.
Now, Ludlow!
In a minute
when you tell me what
you're gonna do about it.
I'm not gonna do
shit about it.
You stupid old fuck!
You just don't fucking listen.
- No, Danny, don't!
Dad!
Let my boy go!
God damn it, let him go!
Put it down.
Put it down.
That's simple.
Put it down.
- Okay...
...Now we're
gonna get up
- real slowly.
- It's okay, Danny.
Knees first.
Then all the way.
Ma'am, I'd be
obliged
If you'd throw me that
hand towel you have there.
Much obliged.
I'm taking him into town.
Trespassing's one thing,
and I guess
I'm guilty there,
but weapon
assault's another.
And I never knew anyone
who'd shoot a suspected
intruder in the ear
at point-blank range
in broad daylight.
And I don't think
the police will either.
And who knows,
Mr. McCormack?
We might make the
papers this time. Huh?
I'd appreciate it
very much
if you'd cover up my dog
for me again, ma'am.
I'll be back for him.
Danny, it's okay.
You're driving.
Go on.
Go easy.
It's a damn bumpy road.
You're fucking crazy.
In that case, you better do
as I tell you, hadn't you?
Would it help if I said
I was sorry about the dog?
I think you're a tad late
with your apology, son.
Oh, shit!
He's not gonna stop.
I'm telling you,
we got to stop the truck.
I know him, okay?
He's not gonna stop.
Just keep on driving.
You hit him just like
we said, son.
Okay?
Hey.
How are you doing?
Come on.
What
what you got there?
What you got there?
Yeah.
Shit.
Thank you.
Bye.
Oh my god.
My god, what the hell
are you doing here?
I came back for my dog.
What?
I left him here
up on the porch.
They will fucking
kill you.
Jesus Christ, they think they
already fucking killed you.
I only want my dog,
that's all.
Your mother,
she covered him up for me.
It's around the back.
They threw your dog
in the woods.
Why?
Because it's evidence.
Mr. Ludlow, it is fucking
evidence of what they did to you.
Take me there.
Look at you,
you're fucking hurt.
You don't know what
you're talking about.
Just take me back
to where they threw him.
Fuck.
God.
Don't you worry about god.
Just take me there.
All right, fine.
Then you'll go?
