You're in a tough spot. I'd be a little pissed, too. But you have to know when to shut up.
[snorts] So, what do you want to know about me?
>> Why do you have all those tattoos?
I was young, almost as cocky as you.
[snorts] That's my joke. I know you're a smart kid. Joined the core in ' 68.
>> You fought in Vietnam.
>> The jungle. Yep.
>> What about that arm? Those initials MB.
>> Old girlfriend.
When I was young, that was a cool thing to do. To face your body when you got a piece of ass.
>> Who was she?
>> Maryanne Bishop.
Maryanne Bishop.
>> My mom was your old girlfriend. She was your piece of ass.
>> Not girlfriend, just a friend. I introduced her to Carl.
>> When?
>> Long time ago. I met her when she was in nursing school. Well, I was a [music] teacher's assistant at a junior college.
>> You were a teacher?
>> Let me finish. I was a [music] teacher's assistant at a junior college right down the street. She drove a yellow VW bug.
I'd see her around and we dated. I introduced her to Carl. He was only 20 years old. He told me I was too old for her. They were the [music] same age. I was too old. He was a kid. They were kids. I went to Vietnam and they got married. Corporal Peterson, my best friend of my platoon, gave me this tattoo. I was jealous.
But it doesn't matter now, does it? Your dad had a family and he threw it away.
>> I never heard that before.
>> He won't tell you that. And your mom sure as hell won't tell you that.
>> How do I know you're not full of [ __ ] >> I'm too [ __ ] old to lie about something like that. You don't have to believe a word I say.
>> How come you never got married?

[snorts] Did a lot of drinking, did a lot of drugs, but after a few years, joined the Carpenters Union. 28 years there. Now I'm retired with two pensions. I had girlfriends, just didn't get married.
That's how you know all those construction guys.
>> That's right.
If you're honest with me, like I'm honest with you, maybe we can work something out.
>> Okay.
So, who's this girl that called your house when I was over there?
>> Just a girl from work.
She has a cute face, good values.
She's got a big ass, though.
>> [laughter] >> Big ass won't hurt you, PJ.
[laughter] It's an honest answer. That's what I mean. You need a place to stay.
>> You got everything you need?
>> Yeah.
In the morning after you shower and [ __ ] and all that, keep all your stuff, your toothbrush and everything in one spot cuz I like to keep the bathroom super [ __ ] clean.
>> Okay.
All right.
>> Hey, Vic.
Thank you.
Okay.
Jolly, it's Victor Lee.
I'm fine, thanks. How's work?
I see you doing the new bank over off Milton.
Well, my nephew is looking for a little work and thought if you needed a runner or someone to clean up some job sites.
Okay.
It's my brother's son. I don't have any kids. He's strong as an ox. I personally vouch for him. He's a good kid.
You have boots.
[snorts] >> Oh, well, boys, in a few minutes that fat ass inspector will be here with that stinking cigar. Ain't he that prick that was on that job where Marty got stabbed by that crazy [ __ ] for $11? Yep. Same guy right up the street from that other fire job we did.
>> PJ, you know who Marty is we're talking about?
>> No.
>> You don't want to get on the wrong side of him. You'll get all this drywall and [ __ ] cleaned up before he gets here cuz he's a stickler for that safety [ __ ] >> All right.
You got to chop those thinner.
And you don't have to swing the axe so hard.
>> Is this the area where you hunt?
>> I shot seven deer out here.
>> I used to hunt with Ben.
>> Did he kill one?
>> Ben can't shoot worth a [ __ ] I took him out here 4 days before he got married and tried to teach him a few things. Couldn't hold a rifle steady. I think he was more interested in drinking my scotch than he was learning how to shoot.
He's not very agile. He's too smart.
>> So, when you sell all this wood, how much do you make >> right now? 25, $30 a bundle. I sell to gas stations and grocery stores. Keeps me busy.
>> So, what about you and Ben?
>> I give Ben a lot of credit. He works his ass off.
>> [snorts] >> Ben's a lot like me.
>> Ben's wife had a cescareian section for the baby.
And after that, Ben kind of get all [ __ ] up.

He lies to everybody.
He's [ __ ] this bartender.
>> That's his business. What about you?
What about your girl? What about your career?
I don't have a girl.
>> Not yet.
>> You can waste a lot of time and a lot of money chasing women. You chase girls, they run away, right?
>> Yeah. So, >> you don't chase. That's the key. You say you don't have a girl, but you do. This girl with a big ass likes you, right?
>> She's Mexican, though.
>> So, what? Just don't be a [ __ ] chaser because it's a waste of time. Be smart about the people you invite into your life >> so I can end up like you alone.
>> I'm all I need.
Nobody can put up with me. So I can chase all I want. You got that?
[music] >> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Hey.

There's a little high, but I am I am sorry about Ben and his wife and all that.
>> It's not your fault.
It's his.
You're remind me Ben when he was nice.
>> I'm not nice.
>> Yeah, you are. And you're so [ __ ] cute.
>> Do you think I'm cute?
>> No. [laughter] Can I kiss your cheek?
Yeah.
You know, sometimes you can ride around the whole [ __ ] day and nothing happens.
I got to be honest with you. Sometimes it's hard to feel like a cop. Yeah, you want to be involved in everything, making things right, helping people. But half the time, what I do? Chase some broke down station wagon that was stolen two months ago. Spend the whole day running plates, trying to referee people's problems, can't take care of theirel. Nobody tells truth. Everybody lies.
For >> what?
So you can call yourself a police officer.
>> Put on a uniform every day.
>> When my first wife died, that [snorts] was bad news, boy.
Bad news.
Two kids.
Couldn't even sleep in my own bed after that. I had to move. Get out.
Your mama.
Your mom was so nice to her when she was in the hospital.
So nice.

>> [whistles] >> It's a canary.
Jenny saw it in the pet store, so I got it for him. His name's Sebastian.
>> It's a parakeet.
>> You owe me a TV.
>> No, I don't. Yes, you do. You were here when she took it. You didn't do anything to stop her. You owe me a TV.
Besides, you're working?
>> Yeah, Uncle Vic got a got me a job working construction.
>> So, you're working now? Good job, steady income.
You still dating that fat Spanish girl?
>> Amy, we found one.
>> She's not that fat, man.
>> She's got like 15 pounds on you.
Does she have big tits or small tits?
>> They're good.
>> You know, it's kind like the trade-off.
If you're going to [ __ ] a fat girl, she's got to have these big bombs. You know what I'm saying?
I have [ __ ] some fat girls in my time, man.
Fat white girls, fat black girls, fat Asian girls.
I [ __ ] Spanish girl.
What's your name?
>> 50 bucks.
Random.
Mom and dad did [ __ ] like this.
Only [ __ ] thing I can remember dad doing is when he used to get us up early in the morning to go shovel the driveway after it snowed.
>> Remember that?
>> Yeah. You and I'd sit there fighting over the one pair of boots that we had.
Sat there fighting in the snow. I used to kick your little ass.
>> You're a lot bigger [snorts] than me.
>> Much stronger, too.
>> Who you think would win now?
>> You?
>> I don't know. I don't know. You're tough little [ __ ] You know, you and I are a lot alike.
>> No, not really.
>> No.
What about Lucy?
She's hot, right?
See, there's something we have in common.
You like the same [ __ ] You [ __ ] her?
>> No.
>> Did you tell Maria about her and I?
>> No. Either you fogged Lucy or you told Maria that I did. So which is it?
>> You're being paranoid.
>> No, I'm not being paranoid.
>> You're a little liar, >> man. All I know is I was at Ma's party.
Maria called and you weren't there.
I got the card and the gift. I came over here and that's it.
>> So you [ __ ] Lucy, >> right?
You at the bar the other night, weren't you?
>> Yeah.
I don't care.
Why do you feel like you have to lie to me?
>> You tell dad your lies when you go see him.
>> What does dad have to do with this?
>> Does he ask about me?
>> He says merry Christmas.
>> He says what?
>> He told me to tell you merry Christmas.
The only [ __ ] thing I remember about Christmas with dad is when mom tried to leave with us, she's screaming and crying.
Trap mom in the bathroom.
>> He never did that.
>> Yes, he did.
You were too young to remember.
He did it then and a lot of other times.
But don't you remember mom in the bathroom screaming and crying?
He's [ __ ] nuts.
How long dad's going to get if he found guilty?
>> He is guilty.
>> Seven years.
Well, that's seven years of collect calls.
I'm not going to accept.
I've got [ __ ] child support and alimony, whatever the [ __ ] it is. I got to hire my own goddamn attorney now.
Well, it's your fault, Ben.
And that's why you're so [ __ ] up.
Cuz you blame everyone but yourself.
Well, at least I'm not a [ __ ] little liar.
So, which is it?
Because it wouldn't surprise me if you [ __ ] Lucy and told Maria. So, which is it? It's neither. You paranoid [ __ ] What do you want me to do?
Do you want me to kick your ass?
>> Yeah, that's why I came over here, Ben.
I want you to kick my ass.
Full of [ __ ] It's a nice bird over there.
And it sucks that there's no one here to appreciate it.
Where's your kid been?
>> Where are you going to [ __ ] lead now?
>> YEAH, JUST LIKE YOU REMEMBER. SO, [ __ ] YOU. [ __ ] LUCY. [ __ ] YOUR FAT [ __ ] WIFE AND HER SCAR ON HER [ __ ] STOMACH.
>> OH, REALLY? [ __ ] liar. SAY IT. Say it.
>> [snorts] >> Do you think I could be alone with my son this time?
Just >> just for a minute. Thanks.
The hell happened to you?
>> It's from Ben. He got into a fight.
>> Cracked you pretty good. Did you fight back?
>> Yeah, he got into a fight with Maria and he thought it was because of me and he went crazy.
>> What happened then?
I didn't tell him anything that >> what do you mean? What didn't you tell him?
>> I'm going to turn myself in.
I'm going to tell him it was an accident.
>> Wait a minute, PJ. What are you talking about?
>> I should have turned myself in. All this [ __ ] happened.
I got nowhere to go. I got nothing to do. I got I got no one to talk to.
>> Listen to me, PJ. Okay, just listen to me. All right. Don't talk to anybody.
Just listen. All right.
I mean, it doesn't make any difference whether it was an accident or not. I mean, it wasn't an accident, but that doesn't mean anything.
I mean, this woman, she's dead, and we're sorry.
And someone has to take responsibility.
I mean, believe me, they don't care who.
They don't care who takes the blame.
They just want to have somebody to pay.
and you come in here now, this would destroy your life.
>> They're gonna find out, Dad. They're going to find out what I did.
>> No, they're not. They're not going to find anything out as long as you keep your mouth shut. You don't say anything.
That's all you got to do is live your life. Forget about this. Stay out of trouble. You promise me you stay out of trouble.
That's it.
>> But you're not guilty.
>> Well, you and I both know that things were never good.
I left. I left my family. I left my kids. Turned my back on you guys. You grew up. I don't know how I wasn't there, right? I missed all those years of you playing soccer, Ben playing football. I left you guys.
So, and then when I wanted to come back, it was too late.
Maybe I owe you a little bit. Huh?
Maybe I got a little bit of guilt.
I don't know what else to tell you, BJ, except that I don't want you to be like me. [clears throat] Don't be like me.
Don't do what I did. Don't do it. You let me do this, okay?
I owe you.
You just promised me you're going to stay out of trouble and you're going to let me do these years cuz I can do this.
Bam. This is seven years. That's all it is.
All you got to do is believe that this is the right way to go and then forget about it.
Believe it in your heart that this is right. Let me do it. Forget it.
Your father, let me do this for you.
How come you're here?
How come you're not at work?
>> I quit.
>> Turn around.
That's why my bathroom's all bloody. You got blood all over my towels, too.
>> I'll clean it.
>> Too late. I already did.
What happened to your ride? Who'd you get into it with?
>> Ben, >> speak up.
>> Ben, >> go put the juice back into the refrigerator.
>> It's empty.
>> Remember when we were talking about you being honest with me? That was part of our agreement.
>> What agreement? You only helped me because my dad asked you to.
>> You're exactly right. But it's a two-way street here. Charlie Haskell did me a favor and you [ __ ] all over it. We're family, you and me. And I'm sick of your inability to take some goddamn responsibility for things.
>> Hated that job.
>> There's something in life called respect. And you earn it. But you don't seem to know that.
>> Sorry about the job, fake. What do you want me to say?
>> You're not sorry.
You didn't come to me and tell me anything. I have fed you. I've done your laundry. I've let you save every goddamn penny you earn. And I'm tired of it. I'm tired of taking all your calls from that goddamn girl. I don't even know her name.
>> It's none of your [ __ ] business.
>> Why? You expect me to do everything else? You can't tell me about that? She was fine a month ago. What's your excuse now, PJ? Because you don't make any sense. And you like this girl. I can tell. But you won't bring her around me.
>> You think you know something about me because we have the same last name. You don't know [ __ ] about me.
I see a scared kid who's becoming a person he doesn't want to be.
Stop looking down on people, PJ.
>> I don't look down on people.
>> Your brother? Yes, you do. Me?
I don't know.
>> Ben cheated on his wife and she left him.
>> Okay. So, that's why you're so mad.
>> I'm not mad.
>> Yes, you are. You're mad that your dad's in jail. So what? You're mad that your big brother beat you up. So what? And you're mad that you KNOW I'M RIGHT.
>> WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
>> I WANT you to put everything on the goddamn line with me right now. THINGS ARE [ __ ] UP. PICK ONE TO FIX CUZ YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL. TRUST ME. I've had people come and go in my life, too. My father was killed in Korea when I was 11 years old. THEY DIDN'T EVEN SEND THE GODDAMN BODY BACK.
JUST THE GODDAMN DOG TAGS. MY BROTHER DIED SIX MONTHS LATER.
I [ __ ] A LOT OF THINGS UP IN MY LIFE AFTER THAT. NOW YOU PICK ONE.
>> I'm going to leave.
>> [ __ ] I'm going to drive into town and put money on the table for your dad.
>> My dad says he's guilty.
>> I don't care.
What if I say no?
>> It's not your decision anymore.
>> What do you want me to do, Vic?
>> I don't know.
I don't know.
I just [clears throat] I just wanted things to work out a little bit better between you and me. That's all.
Come on. Piece of [ __ ] [ __ ] Heat.
Heat.
Heat.
Hey, Victor.
>> Hey, Carl.
>> How are you?
>> You owe me a tank of gas driving all the way out here.
>> Yeah, well, I'll owe you a hell of a lot more than that. Thanks.
Hey, are you awake?
I love you.
Dad.
>> Hey.
Just wanted to come by.
You see my granddaughter?
>> She's um she's with Maria. They'll be back.
>> Well, I I could come by later then.
>> Did you get out? What's going on?
>> Oh, Vic posted bail.
He's the one with all the money in the family.
Not going to be out for long though.
>> Maria, she um she left me.
>> It's been hard.
>> I'm sorry that happened, son.
So am I.
>> Yeah, it's terrible.
>> You know, Ben, I know that you don't like me.
That's okay.
would have done the same thing for you.
>> What?
>> What would you have done for him?
>> I would I would I I would have done what I whatever I could.
That's it. Just I just wish that I wanted to be a better dad.
>> Yeah, me too.
>> Take care of yourself.
You, too.
I need it.
Take care of yourself. All right, man.
>> Okay.
You, too.
You, too. [music] [music] >> [music] >> Maryanne Cars is here tonight, right?
>> Yes. Thanks.
[music] >> [music] [music] >> Dr. Dial, please.
Please dial.
Hey.
>> Hey.
>> Hi.
>> Huh?
>> Did you see Ben?
>> Ben? Yeah, I saw Ben.
I can't believe Ben is almost 30 years old.
>> Well, Jenny turns one in two weeks.
You always wanted a girl, right?
>> Yeah, but two boys was more than enough.
>> I got to go back soon.
Trial's not over, but it will be over quick. PJ asked me for money a while back to get you out. I told him no.
>> Think it's worth it?
>> I know Vic's never going to let me off the hook for it. Never has.
But you know, I told PJ not to ask you.
But yeah, I do I do think it's worth it.
Yeah. I mean, now I haven't seen you in a year.
Now I've seen you and now it's just me. I'm alone.
>> Oh, it's not just you. It's everybody.
Things like this don't just go away, Carl.
>> Well, I understand that, Maryanne.
I mean, I know they don't just go away.
>> [snorts] >> Good.
>> All right. I got to go.
You're not going to finish your food?
I'm full.
Ben, it's me, PJ.
>> What's up, buddy?
>> Just wanted to tell you that they're going to read the verdict on Thursday in case you want to go.
>> Okay. I saw Dad.
>> I know.
>> He looks a lot older with a beard, huh?
>> Yeah.
I'm thinking about going in the uh police academy.
>> Hey, um I'll see you Thursday. Okay.
>> Okay.
You okay?
>> Yeah.
Things are okay.
>> Okay.
>> Hey. Hey.
Think the river is going to freeze this winter?
freezes every winter.
>> Temperature change and everything. It might be different.
>> Maybe you've been on time.
>> Yeah.
[snorts] >> You want to tell me something, Carl?
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> You [music] look like you love something else.
Is it [music and singing] starting all again?
You look [singing] like you could start [music] something if you don't say [singing and music] well.
[music] [music] You should rest [music] before you lie. [singing] Just let me rest [singing] on and then we'll [singing] drive.
The holy water [singing and music] is turning blue [music] just like I need [singing] this.
If I need you a mile, I'm hoping here I [music and singing] stand.
It's far open.
You take my hand.
Look at this guy. Looks like he's making a muscle.
>> You got that picture?
>> Yeah.
>> Yep.
>> Ben says, "Uh, it's an ugly baby." Oh, Ben. All babies are ugly. You're born ugly. Then you look okay for about 40 years, and then you start to get ugly again. That's just the way it goes.
>> You saying I was ugly?
>> You? Well, you're still ugly. [laughter] I got to give you some [ __ ] >> I get [ __ ] from you, from Uncle Vic, from Ben, from Amy. I get [ __ ] from everybody.
>> Yeah, well, it's working. See, your head's still screwed on tight.

>> I will.
Moving into an apartment.
Maybe got a job teaching out of school.

>> I don't know. People tell me not to, you know.
>> Yeah. Well, I guess you wait and see.
Wait and see how it goes and keep you posted.
>> I will.
>> Well, I mean, this thing's going to cut out pretty soon. I hate that. So, keep writing letters. All right.
Sending pictures. The pictures are great.
>> Okay.
Now, watch out for that second one.
>> Second one.
>> Second kid.
It's always a bigger pain in the ass than the first.
I swear it's the truth.
>> How do you know?
[sighs] >> All right.
I love you. Be good.
