Now get back to work!

Ah dammit!

Just where the hell do you
think you're going, Faulkner?

You get somebody else up here.

He stinks!

You want me to get up there
and bust your head for you?

You just stay downwind of me, boy.

I like it where I am, Faulkner.

Aw hell, man.

I'll take 10 on the black boy.

You're on.

What the hell?

What's that thing doing here?

Hey, they're cops!

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Just hold it there.

All right, let's get in that chopper.

Faulkner you... move it!

Move it!

Come on.

How long before we cross the state line?

About two hours.

Good.

All right, I’ll get in there

sometime tomorrow afternoon.

The orders read now.

What do you mean now?

Just what I said.

You have one hour.

It's almost 5:00 in the morning.

You heard me. One hour.

Well, can't it wait?

Now don't give me any trouble.

All right, all right, all right.

All right.

I think we'd be more comfortable inside.

Hm.

Well, are we or aren't we going in?

We aren't.

Would you believe I have to go to work?

Go to work? - Mm-hm.

To the federal building, baby.

To the federal building.

Looks like you need a good bed.

I had that in mind, till you called.

Sit down.

Now this is Rowan County.

Half the men you see there are
bootleggers, moonshiners.

Now that's the man we want: Burl long.

A moonshine case?

Why don't you send one of your accountants?

'Cause every rack in the state

hinges on the bootleg traffic.

It's a political payoff and
protection network that we want.

And there's one man that can give us

every name right up to the state capital.

And that's long.

Well, why don't you pick him up?

No evidence.

Now we know he's involved in

everything from bootlegging to murder.

But we can't get a thing on him.

Not unless we can find his still

and connect him directly to it.

Now, if we can get that far,

we can get a conviction.

Maybe a senate investigation.

Hopefully, some political heads will roll.

Well, that sounds impressive.

Anything else?

Well, we send in a large force,

they don't see anything.

When we send in a couple of
agents, they don't come back.

So far they've murdered five of our men.

They seem to know every move that we make.

So I'm giving you seven
men for your assignment.

If I do it, I do it my way.

No agents.

Well, I don't agree.

But I have orders to give you
a free hand if necessary.

So when you get into Rowan
County, we don't know you.

And Faulkner...

We want burl with the evidence and alive.

Do you understand?

Where the hell are we?

Hey, guys, we're going to a party.

What's this? Salvation army?

All right, shut up.

Mm, sure do smell-

all right, all right, all right.

Shut up.

Just keep it quiet.

Listen.

Y'all have one thing in common:

Every one of you here is a lifer.

What the hell are we doing here, man?

You're here through the
compliments of Mr. Frank Davis.

Federal government wanted Frank
out for a special reason.

Now you've all heard of the

moonshine operation in Rowan County.

Well, Frank was a moonshine
runner in Rowan County

before he killed two federal agents.

You lyin' son of a bitch.

I didn't kill nobody.

That's what you say.

But when the judge said life, he meant it.

What's that got to do with us?

Sonny, your record says
you're in for murder.

Well, I took you and Henry out

because you're supposed to be good drivers.

Billy Joe.

He used to work on cars when
he wasn't stealing them.

The rest of you are young and you'll learn.

Learn what?

Whatever it takes to break
up the Rowan County operation.

Suppose I won't go?

Well, then you'll rot back
there in the road gang,

if those guards don't bury you first.

You must want those folks pretty bad.

Yep, you're breakin' my heart in two.

Terrible, oh terrible.

As I was saying before, you're young.

You have a lot of living left.

Now you can spend it in
prison, or you can cooperate,

and I'll see if I can get you off.

What's the matter, city boy?

Wish you were back in town?

Yeah.

Do you expect us to believe
a story like that?

All right, Sammy, I'll tell you what.

You just take off across that field.

Come on, get going.

What are you waitin' for, Sam?

What are you gonna do?

Shoot me in the back, Faulkner?

Sammy, you know a fed can't
shoot a man in the back.

Come on, get outta here!

Get 'em off me, Faulkner!

Get 'em off!

Get outta here!

Get off me!

Get 'em off!

Faulkner, get 'em off me!

Get 'em off me!

Faulkner!

Get out of here!

All right, pull 'em off.

All right, get back in line.

So as I was saying, we're going

in the moonshine business.

I don't know nothin'
about makin' whiskey.

You're not gonna make
whiskey, Sonny, or drink it.

You're gonna steal it.

Oh, I wouldn't bet on it.

They've chewed up better men than you.

That's why you're here, Frank.

Hey, those are my people, Faulkner.

You ain't got a chance.

We'll see about that later.

All right, take 'em down to the cars.

I'ma get cleaned up.

Boy, don't touch nothing
till you're told.

Till big boss Faulkner
says the word, huh?

You got it right.

Probably been shackin'
up with some broad.

All right, everyone inside.

Man, these cars are 10 years old.

You open the hoods of those cars,

you're gonna find the best engines going.

Now you guys are gonna learn
how to drive these cars,

and your lives may depend on 'em.

So you better treat 'em
like you would a lady.

Does that mean we get to sleep with 'em?

You know, Chandler, I
think that's a good idea.

Norton.

Tonight when the rest of
the guys go to sleep,

bring Chandler out here.

He's gonna sleep on the hood of this one.

I hope there aren't any more jokers.

I'm gonna tell you this
once, and once only:

You're on federal land now.

Anyone tries to take off,

he's gonna be hunted down and killed.

Man, you can't do that.

It's against the law.

Henry...

You're an escaped prisoner.

I could kill you right here and now.

Or I could call the County sheriff

and tell him there's a prisoner loose:

Male,

negro,

170 lbs,

dangerous.

Baby, you just try me.

You got the gun.

You don't leave no choice.

That's right.

Hey, Faulkner.

How'd they choose you?

Well, we had a popularity
poll and I lost.

Get 'em up at 5:00 in the morning.

Hey, Faulkner.

I don't buy it.

Move. - Now you heard me.

Now you think those feds
were waiting by accident

the night you made your last run?

Well, they had a phone call.

You're a damn liar.

That's your little brother, Frank.

He was trying to make contact
with one of our agents.

He said he had information
that would clear you.

That's what your people did, Frank.

We found him like that three days later.

If I have any more problems with you,

you all go back.

Hey, Faulkner, I wouldn't
even steal this car.

It's too damn heavy.

Well, it's heavy for a
reason, specially reinforced.

Now how come?

Well, you're gonna be
running into things.

That's how come.

Well still, it's got the
wrong size tires and,

eh, the color stinks.

Jesse, what did I tell you?

We have a mechanic here.

Anything he wants, he gets.

Take him over to the garage. - Mechanic?

Hey, I don't want to be no mechanic.

I want to drive.

Billy Joe, now you know you're

too valuable to be a driver.

Besides, anybody can drive.

You know it takes skill to do your job.

You're specialized.

Too valuable, huh?

Hey, Sonny, did ya hear that?

You guys got to take all the risks

'cause Billy Joe is too valuable.

Hot damn.

Come on, Jesse.

What do you think of the engine?

Yeah, it'll do for now.

What the hell are you reading, professor?

Instruction manual.

Why'd you call me professor?

Well, it isn't everyone that has

one whole year at junior college.

You do know how to drive, don't you?

Anybody can drive a car, man.

So anybody can drive
a car, huh, Chandler?

I want you to run two
abreast between the flags.

Now, at every yellow flag,

each car will try to knock the
other out of the pattern.

If you boys can stay in control within

the flag lines on dirt, you
can drive on anything.

Hey, you know you did good, boy.

Damn good!

They used to call me the man
who wouldn't be passed.

Oh the man who wouldn't be
passed, that's all right.

Boy, you're gonna damn well be passed

if you don't stop pushing these engines.

Billy Joe!

Come on over here.

You don't care who's
car you work on, do ya?

Looks like Henry here
burned up something.

Take a look at it, will ya?

I ain't gonna work on his car.

Now what'd you say?

He said he wasn't gonna work on my car.

Well, do you know how to fix it, Henry?

No, I don't know nothing
about no engines.

Well, Billy Joe, it looks like

you're gonna have to work on it.

Yeah, kinda looks that way.

Come on, Billy.

I'll work on the others, but
I ain't gonna work on his.

Why you wanna do me that way, Billy?

Huh?

Now come on, baby, now...

Billy Joe, come on now.

You call him off, Faulkner,

or I'll split his skull for him.

Now look, Billy Joe.

Now look, baby, I'm black
but I'm beautiful.

Now come on, Billy.

Henry!

Hey Billy Joe! - Henry, get this

damn thing off me! - Hey, Billy Joe!

You gonna work on my car?

Huh? - Henry, get it off Mel

Billy Joe, you gonna work on
my car, ain't you, Billy Joe?

I'll work on your damn car!

Yeah!

You gonna work your butt off on my car.

You know, I like that boy.

He got soul.

Well, that's good because
starting tomorrow,

he rides with you.

All right, cease firing.

You guys make a lot of noise.
You hittin' anything?

I'm not doing too bad.

Well, I appreciate that, Sonny.

Tell you what, why don't you go down there

and pull your target?

Let me see how you're doing.

I do better on moving targets.

Just keep your hands where I can see 'em.

Don't even think about it, man.

Excuse me.

Can you tell me where Mr. Faulkner is?

I'm Faulkner.

Hi, I'm Stewart Martin.

Stewart Martin.

All right, I believe you.
Where's Anderson?

He was killed.

They found his body yesterday.

The local police said
it was a car accident.

Your first assignment?

Yeah, it's my first field assignment.

But I've researched the case thoroughly.

Well, that's great.

Well, maybe you could tell
me some of your plans, huh?

Nobody seems to know much about it.

Well, nobody was told.

How do you think you'll stop 'em?

I don't. They're gonna stop us.

I don't understand.

Well, we're gonna have to be in partners

with those Rowan County boys.

Well, how you gonna keep your people

from running off once we get there?

Oh, I will and Frank Davis will.

Davis?

Yeah, they killed his brother.

He knows if anybody takes
off, they go back to prison.

Did you bring the stuff, the limpet mines,

the grenades, everything? - Yeah, yeah.

I got a couple of cases.

Then you know explosives?

No, sir.

You mean they sent me a demolition man

and you don't know
anything about explosives?

How long they been at it?

About 10 minutes.

They're tough.

Except for Chandler over here.

Chandler, can't you do anything?

It's not that I can't, man. I just won't.

Fighting?

I don't believe in it anymore.

So you decided to give up killing?

Well, no one dogs it around here, Chandler.

All right, knock it off!

Who's gonna teach our boy
Chandler how to fight?

Yeah, I'll, I'll do it.

Come on, mother-lover.

Come on, get up.

Come on.

Man, I don't wanna fight, man.

Come on, get off your stuff.

All right now!

Sam.

All right, now cool it, boy.

See, Chandler.

Everybody's got it in 'em.

Just leave me alone!

Take him to the garage,
get him all cleaned up.

Oh, fellas.

Martin.

Hey, they're lookin' better.

Yeah, all except Chandler.

I think I'm gonna give
him a little problem.

Up to now we've been using grenades.

This is a limpet mine.

It can be attached to
metallic surface by magnet.

Now you can set the timer from
10 seconds to 30 minutes.

Is that thing live?

It is now.

I want you to take this down
and drop it in that barrel.

Well, how much time do I got?
You'll find out.

Now wait a second!

This thing's going to explode!

That's right! Move it, Chandler!

Get going!

What the hell am I gonna
do with you, Chandler?

You told me to put it in
the barrel, didn't you?

That was the order, wasn't it?

What you didn't tell me was
that I'd need three hands.

Well that's it, I'm gonna
try it again tomorrow.

You checkin' out?

No, I figured I'd wash my socks.

Hey, why don't you take mine?

Ooh.

Them things don't need
washing, they need burning.

Hey, Frank, uh, you got
some pull around here.

How's the chances of us gettin' a bottle?

Forget it, son.

Y'all see Frank out there today?

That's the way it should be done.

Eh, stupid.

Hey, Billy Joe.

I thought I told you to fix that thing.

Go to hell.

Stupid.

Stupid, every one of ya.

You're all being used.

Faulkner ain't gonna give you no paroles.

Well, at least we're out.

I'd rather do anything that go back

to that stinkin' rock pile.

Well, that's where you're going.

What makes you think he's gonna
let a bunch of lifers go?

Chandler.

Chandler, you're a Bible creeper,

ain't nothing there that's
gonna get you outta here.

But if you listen to me,
I'm gonna spring you,

and the first thing I wanna tell you

and you other guys is this:

You never make a deal with a cop.

Why don't you shut up?

It ain't that hard gettin' out of here.

I've been watchin'.

There's only one guard out there at night.

Yeah, and he got a Thompson.

That's why we all gotta go.

Are you kidding?

Faulkner, he'd hunt us down or kill us

if it took him 10 years.

Come on, he's bluffin'.

What about those dogs, Sam?

You better shut up talkin'
before Frank gets back.

Now he don't want nobody to leave,

and he's got a good reason why.

Yeah, you're all a bunch of creeps.

He's lucky he's alive.

Get him to the hospital, fast.

Do we go ahead as planned?

Just one less car.

Henry? - Yeah?

Billy Joe and Sonny.

Hey, we got a long way to go.

Better move on out.

Just a minute.

All right, listen.

From now on, we're on our own.

Once we cross that state line,
even the law's against us.

All of us.

All right, we got a long trip.

Let's go.

Hey, Faulkner, we're about
eight miles from town.

This here's a road they
use for most of the runs.

That little Ridge up there would
be a good place to settle.

We can watch the road from there.

All right.

That's a single runner.
Not too important.

If it's something big, he'd be followed

by a crash car about a mile behind.

What's a crash car?

Like an escort.

If the lead car runs into trouble,

the crash car straightens it out.

You see, he moves a little
faster without the liquor.

Like a decoy.

And you can bet he'll get it first.

That's right, and remember the men

in the crash car have guns.

They got guns, Faulkner. What about us?

I'll give you guns when
I think you need 'em.

Tomorrow morning we start
looking for the stills.

And after that, we start working the roads.

And what about that car?
When's he coming back?

About noon tomorrow,
if the weather holds.

There's a lot of different
ways to dump a car.

They know 'em all.

Watch mostly for an oil drop,

and when it happens, slow through it.

Don't try to pick up speed

for at least a couple of hundred yards.

If you cramp your wheel, you've had it.

You better get some rest.

And remember, as far as anyone knows,

we're just another moonshine operation.

Hey, you gotta quit thinking
about that sauce, man.

Hey, you boys get your things together.

We're gonna go spot them stills.

Yeah?

Who's gonna spot who?

Spot 'em, hell, I'd like to bathe in 'em.

You been lyin'?

Hey look, I told you they were here.

You better be playing it
straight with me, Frank.

I don't like liars.

Oh, I don't give damn what you say.

I told you the stills were here-

- Faulkner!

This looks like condensation tubing.

Looks like you were right, Frank.

Yeah.

Yeah, they move 'em around
every three months or so.

Well, then we'll have
to start lookin' again.

When we going?

Now.

Hey, Henry? - Yeah?

You scared?

Yeah.

You are? - Hell yeah.

Slow down, Henry. He's droppin' the oil!

1 can't! I can't!

Damn it, Henry!

Frankie told you to back off! - Shut up!

Henry had him, damn it, he had him.

That's right, I had him.

Oh, come on, Henry.

I told you to hold back
until they dump the oil.

And then slow through it straight.

They can only drop it once.

All right, Frank.

Take it easy.

We'll get 'em tomorrow.

Oh yeah, they'll have
a crash car tomorrow.

We'll take care of that too.

In the next few days, I want enough

of burl's cars knocked off
that he'll have to come to us.

Chandler better have that road blocked.

Hi, Bentley.

Boy, I ain't never seen
a year like this one.

It's been wild.

And now we got them damn
hijackers shootin' up everybody.

I was scared, I tell you.

I was lucky to get through.

Hey, where do you want me to put this?

Just right there, boy.

You're late.

Bring up the rest of the
shine outta your car.

Well, I ain't
carrying but just the one.

Sonny.

Where the hell have you been?

Had to go, man.

Couldn't wait no longer.

Well, check the rear end of that car.

Right.

Nothing in here.

Well, we'll see about that.

Hey, Faulkner.

Let me get this one, okay?

Hey, Henry.

How many cars have we run off now?

What?

I said how many cars have we run off now?

Hey, that makes you an Ace.

Ace of spades.

Hey, Martin.

Have a drink.

I don't want a drink.

Trouble with you Martin is
that you ain't never lived.

You know, Faulkner's not gonna like this.

Hey look man, what's wrong
with having a little party?

Sonny? - Yeah?

What'd you do with them other bottles?

I hid 'em.

That's my cut for stealin' 'em.

Hey'd you finish?

What are you doin' up there?

I hope to hell that
wasn't Faulkner.

Hey, ain't you the guy

that pushed me off the road?

Yeah, that's him.

Well, I'm sorry.

Hell, if I'd have known it was you,

I would have stopped you more peaceably.

Is that the same guy?

Yeah, it's old Charlie again.

You better wait.

What's going on here? Where are the cars?

Your men done damn near killed me,

and all I come for was to negotiate.

Burl wants to talk to you.

What about?

Maybe he wants to make a little deal.

Anyhow, he says he'll
meet you at dawn tomorrow

at the cabin over on schaffer's.

Well, you tell him I'll meet him

at noon at sequatchie dam.

And I think you just better
get on down the road.

Ain't you gonna give me a ride?

If I catch you drinkin' again,
Sonny, you're going back.

And that goes for all of you.

Now get back to camp.

Faulkner wait...

Come on, Henry, come on.

What?

Go on. Move back to camp.

I count ten of 'em, Faulkner.

There's another car moving up.

All right. If anything happens,
get 'em out of here fast.

Remember, Frank.

Nothing about your brother.

Use this only if you have to.

Frank, I'm surprised at you riding around

with pig spit like this.

Ain't you supposed to be in the pen?

Faulkner here got me out.

Well, that's fine, but you
should have come to me.

I told you your job would be waitin'.

That's right nice, burl,

but Faulkner here's takin' care of me now.

You know, you've been
gettin' me mad, friend.

Why don't you cut out the crap, burl?

How many loads of whiskey you got through

in the last two weeks?

I'm gonna tell you something, boy.

A lot of men have tried
to take what's mine,

and it didn't do 'em no good.

Well, maybe they weren't like me, huh?

I can kill you just as
easy and call the police

to pick up your bodies.

Well, now that'd be right stupid.

You kill me and my people up north

will have five more like me down here.

It's a big organization, burl.

It's bigger than yours.

What are you, with some
kind of a syndicate?

Something like that.

Well, what do you want from me?

Piece of the action. - How much?

25%.

Man, either you're crazy or
you sure got you some guts.

25%.

You know, that's so funny I'm just gonna

have to think on it.

Yeah, well you do that. You think on it.

And every day you think
on it, my cut goes up.

Well, maybe we can work something out.

25% and I run my own men.

All right.

I guess there's plenty for everybody.

And old burl likes to keep the peace.

You bring 'em in and we'll
just see how good they are.

Yeah, we'll do that.

I thought you said we
gonna kill him, burl?

Shut up.

You ain't paid to think.

You live in this town
all your life, Frank?

Yeah.

If you wanna call that livin'.

Hey, Henry? - Yeah?

I don't think they like the way you look.

You didn't either,
but you learned, didn't you?

Broads, man. Broads.

Bubba, why don't you find a
place for these boys to stay?

Faulkner, this here's my foreman, bubba.

He'll see you get taken care of.

I'll take 'em down to the north end.

Okay I use your car?

Yeah, but be careful with it.

We'll get together later on.

Come on.

I'll lead. You follow.

Frank looks kinda peaky, don't he?

Well, it's nice to see him
out and around again.

You lock your door now, you hear?

I don't trust him.

I see they gave us the
guest cottage, huh?

Wool!

Stinks! - Yeah, we should

have made reservations.

Lord, Billy, why don't
you sit yourself down?

No, I ain't gonna sit down here.

Hey, Faulkner, is it okay I sleep outside?

Well, they sure know how to make

you feel welcome. - I don't wanna

sleep in here.
All right, cut the chatter.

Burl isn't gonna like this
arrangement for long.

I want you guys to stow your gear

and get out there and mingle.

There are two things we have to know:

Location of the still and how we get burl

and ourselves out of here alive.

Hey, now wait a minute, Faulkner.

You never said nothing about

bringing him out alive.

I want that slop dead and you know it.

Well, I'm telling you now,

and you'll do as I say.

I can't touch burl till I find
those stills for evidence.

And I need burl to testify.

It's the only way to blow the cover

off these politicians and law officers.

Hey, Faulkner, I'll
question the women for you.

Sonny, this isn't no game.

This is burl's town.

Every one of those men out
there would love to kill you.

Kill all of you.

Now, you understand?

Hey, Charlie!

Hey, when'd you get
out of the pen, Frank?

A while back.

How you been? - Oh, fair to middling.

Say, you going back to work with burl?

Yeah, yeah I reckon so.

Hey, you seen cissy around?

I got some stuff cookin' in the house,

so I'll see you, hear?

Now wait a minute, Charlie.

Where is she?

I gotta go.

Geez, this stuff is really
getting strong, you know?

Yeah, I know.

You know, when they make this stuff,

don't they dump some junk in the water?

Yeah, maybe that's why it stinks so much.

Yeah.

You know, I bet there's a still up there.

Well, we can follow it and find out.

I always loved those wind chimes.

Why don't you live here anymore?

Because I never thought
you were comin' back.

You know how pretty you are?

Look.

Remember how we used to look
out across those mountains?

Mm-hm.

Hey man.

I don't believe it.

Wow.

Come on.

Hey!

Hey!

What are we gonna do now?

Nothing.

Hey, Sonny?

Yeah?

Hey, maybe you fellas would like to

come spend the night with us?

Yeah, and have a party?

Mm-hm. - Yeah, okay.

Hey listen, they want us
to come to their place

and we'll spend the night there.

How about that? - Why not?

What about Faulkner?

Tell him to get himself his own broad.

He'll freak.

Well, what do we got here?

You drive this thing?

He does.

You work on his car?

And what the hell do you care?

Well, we don't take much
for white boys workin'-

Where's everybody?

Faulkner and Frank are at burl's.

And Martin, he's at the saloon.

Now what the hell you
guys been up to anyway?

Lucky Faulkner ain't around.

Oh, it was just something we fell into.

Yeah, I bet.

Yeah, we uh, we took a bath.

Had a little party.

And you can tell Faulkner to go to hell.

Yeah, come on.

We gotta get him sobered
up before we go into town.

You know what I could use now?

A drink. - Sonny, you smell rotten.

Hey.

What's with you, Henry?

Maybe I ought to go back.

Now what for?

Man, you know what Faulkner
said about drinkin'.

Sonny, you smell like a still.

Come on.

Faulkner can't say
anything about one drink.

There's gonna be trouble
if I go in there.

Now look, Henry, if we
don't care, why should you?

Come on.

I told you, Billy Joe,
there's gonna be trouble

if I go in there now.

Let's go.

All right, don't say I didn't tell you.

Hey.

Now you take it easy in there, all right?

All right?

Yeah. - All right.

Yeah.

Howdy, Martin. - Hey, Billy Joe.

What's goin' on?

Thank you for the drink. - That's okay.

- He a friend of yours?
- Just some old-timer.

Hey, he's been around here for years.

You learn anything?

Nothing. He doesn't do nothing but drink.

Give me two beers.

I'd like to see that still, burl.

Nobody sees that still,

unless it's over my dead body.

I'm not talkin' to you, boy.

You'll see the still in due time.

Hey, when the hell do we get our cake?

I don't know how I made it

before me and cissy got together.

Frank, where are your manners?

Well, give Frank a piece of cake, honey.

Honey, don't tire yourself on the dishes.

Bubba will take care of 'em.

It's too much for me.

Hey, wow.

You fellas, you just stay right here

and watch old Billy Joe do his stuff, huh?

Well, howdy.

You lovely ladies all unescorted and all,

why don't you let me
take you over to a table

and maybe I could...

Say, Martin.

Whatever yours is mine, right?

Uh, yeah, right.

Let me have a bottle, bartender.

Well, howdy.

I almost didn't recognize
y'all with your clothes on.

You give us time.

Hey, how 'bout a drink?

Yeah, that's a good idea,

'cause I sure could feel good.

Me too.

Give me that.

What the hell was that for?

You're on babbage's girl.

Not now, thank you.

You know, Frank...

We got them lousy feds
that killed your brother.

I felt real bad about it.

Yes sir, I bet you did.

Mr. burl, there's a hell of fight

going on down at your place.

That big buck and them hijackers,

they're beatin' the hell out of the boys.

I best be getting' back.
Yeah, you better.

Bubba, you better get on down there, too.

You know, you gotta take better
care of your boys, Faulkner.

Well, they can take
care of themselves, burl.

Well, let's go on down and see.

Hey, Chandler, what are you doing?

I don't know what I'm doin', man.

I don't know.

Well, it looks like your
boys done you proud, Faulkner.

What they're really good at is driving.

Why don't you let them try a run?

I'll tell you what,

I'll let Frank take the run tomorrow.

He knows the way.

Frank, you'll be there at 8.00, ya hear?

Bubba, you're worth less and less everyday.

Now, I want you to make a phone call.

Call the state troopers and talk to jed.

Tell him we heard somebody in a blue sedan

is running some moonshine tomorrow,

and uh, tell him that burl
wonders if that ain't illegal.

Also we got a fine keg
of corn waitin' for him.

He can pick that up when he's through.

What do you wanna go through
all that trouble for?

Why don't you just let me kill him tonight?

Bubba, I'm surprised at you.

You know it's best to let the
law handle these matters.

Now look, Faulkner, I've had it.
I want out.

Frank... I've had it, and I want out.

Listen, I've been rough
on you for a reason.

Yeah I know you cops, you
always got a good reason.

Quit feelin' sorry for yourself, Frank.

Now look, Faulkner, just

get off my back! - I need your help!

You're the only one that knows burl.

What do you think he'll do next?

Oh.

Now, don't tell me there's
something you don't know?

I mean, you're not asking
me for advice now, are you?

Yeah, that's right.

You see, you're not the only one

that has something against those people.

They've killed a lot of federal men.

And some of my friends.

What do you say, Frank?

Hell, I figured burl's
still smelling us out.

Won't make his move for a couple of days.

Watch yourself on that run today.

Yeah, I will.

Martin's goin' with you.

- Hey, I'd rather have Henry.
- You got Martin.

You don't trust nobody, do you?

Well, it isn't that, Frank.

It's just that I don't
want you to get lonely.

Frank.

Aren't you even gonna talk to me?

Oh, don't look at me like
that, Frank, please.

Cissy, how could you have lived with him?

Well, I wanted to tell you
about that the other day,

but I just didn't know how.

I didn't think you'd understand.

Oh come on now, you must have known

that burl set me up to go to jail.

I could have rotted there!

It wouldn't have meant a damn to you!

That just ain't true.

Oh what do you mean, ain't true?

Well this here's burl's
town and you know that.

Everybody know'd what he done to you,

but I tried for over a year to get somebody

to help me prove it and nobody would.

They was all scared, Frank.

And so was I.

So you figured by
shackin' up with burl that

that'd give you all the
protection you needed, huh?

Well...

After you was gone, nothing
mattered much no more.

But I always loved you, Frank.

I still do.

Hey, Frank, where
do you want this booze?

Come on, let's put it in the trunk.

Hey, Frank?

I was hopin' you'd let us get
our load off the stills.

Are you serious?

Come on, let's go.

You know, I feel a lot better now.

What about?

Now that was the last place
for any kind of ambush.

You don't think they're gonna

make another play then, huh?

No, not today.

Hey, Martin? - Huh?

You hear something?

Yeah.

What the hell is it?

That looks like
a state police chopper.

Goddamn, burl. - Hey, we can't fire!

The hell we can.

He works for burl, like everybody else.

All right, they're coming your way.

Let me take it.

Come on, get on 'em. - Okay.

It's up on your side.

All right, take the wheel. - Okay.

He's moving your way. Take him.

Maybe Frank just had like um,

car trouble or something.

Yeah, that's possible
but I don't believe it.

Well, if they're
not back in an hour,

we're going after burl.

I thought you said
we had to find the stills

and get evidence before
we could pick 'em up.

Where the
hell have you been, Sonny?

Hey, man, I was on the truck-

you smell like a brewery.

I ought to kick your head in.

Hey, man, I was just on the truck.

I saw the... shut up!

Frank and Martin didn't get back yet.

All right, I had a few drinks.

But I saw the stills.

Stills?

Yeah.

You guys wanna hear about it?

I was up there today.

I saw the whole thing.

Thompson.

They got a... Thompson?

Yeah.

Are you sure about this, Sonny?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Hey, how many Thompsons did you see?

One.

It's on the tower.

They cover the whole place with it.

Well with four of these and grenades,

should even up the odds.

Now remember, if burl's up
there, I want him alive.

Okay, Sonny, lay it out.

Okay.

Come in this way.

Shack.

Still here.

Still here.

One down here.

Tower is right there.

Bubba.

Bubba here.

Tell burl we picked up Frank.

He was with a fed.

Took him to the still and
killed the government man.

Hold on just a minute.

It's Jed.

They got Frank, took him up to the still.

They killed a federal man who was with him-

- shut up.

Bring it here.

Yeah, burl.

Got ourselves a fed.
Frank with him.

You sure? - Yeah.

Should I kill Frank, too?

No, you just leave him in the shack.

I want that pleasure myself.

Okay. - Bye.

They're all working with the feds.

Syndicate up north, huh?

Faulkner's friends are gonna

have to send down six more

because he and his boys are gonna be at

the river bottom tomorrow.

Yeah, well, let's go get 'em now.

Besides, I need me some sleep.

You get some of our men
together before sunrise.

We gonna pay Faulkner and his
boys a little wake-up visit.

Are you comin' to bed?

Yeah, soon as I clean up.

Sonny.

Three grenades for everyone.

Oh!

It's okay.

What the hell are you doing here?

They know who you are.

Something about, about killing a fed.

And they got Frank.

And they're gonna kill him.

Where do they have Frank?

In the work shack.

At the still.

And then burl is gonna meet
bubba here before light

and then they're gonna go on to the still.

Faulkner, we better get out of here.

Well, what about Frank?

Now hey, wait a minute.

How do we know we ain't bein' set up?

We don't.

All right.

We'll move out on the still

an hour before daybreak.

Where's burl?

He's in bed sleeping off a drunk.

Listen.

I swear to god I'm telling you the truth.

You better be.

There ain't no moving in there.

Are you stupid, dummy,
of course there ain't.

Can't you see there ain't no cars?

Hey, burl, you goin' crazy out here

shootin' up your own property?

When did they go?

Hell, they've been gone
more than 10 minutes

with Ms. cissy. - Cissy?

Why that little tramp.

They're after Frank.

Tell the boys to go on down
to the still, we'll follow.

Hey you all boys, go on
down to the still now.

No, no, not you, Willy.

You come with me.

Come on, get in.

Where do you all think you're going?

Curtis, burl asked me
to take these guys on up.

They're makin' some runs for us today.

Well, Ms. cissy, that ain't the usual way

and I don't know nothing about it.

I'll have to call Mr. burl.

Curtis, he ain't gonna like that.

He's resting. He ain't gonna
like being disturbed.

Oh, he kinda tied one on, huh?

Yeah. That and me wearin' him out.

Well, I guess it'll be all right, but...

Hey, hey, hey wait a minute.

Ain't you one of those guys

that blowed up my car the other night?

Hey, hold on.

Chandler, come here.

You stop anything that
comes down that road.

Here's some grenades.

Uh, Faulkner, I think it'd be better I-

- Chandler, just do what
I tell you, all right?

All right, what am I
supposed to do with that guy?

Well, that's your problem.

Open the gate.

Yeah, thanks a lot.

Who you waitin' on?

Hey, man, you gotta be quiet,

or I'm gonna have to hurt you again.

I sure wouldn't like none of that.

Okay fine, then shut up.

Here, read this.

The good book?

Yeah, right, the good book.

I just read it. Finished it, first time.

Don't you believe in this?

I don't know.

Still's around the next
bend off to the right.

Okay, when you get close, pull up.

Give me five minutes.

After I get out of sight, then come on in.

Cissy, you'll get out with me.

Keep off the road and stay put.

Now look, mister, I
came here to help Frank.

I'm going in with you.

You'll do what I tell you

or I'll call this thing off, huh?

If we don't make it...

You're on your own.

You'll need this.

Billy Joel!

Burl's got us blocked!

What about Billy Joe?

He's had it.

Hey, Sonny's in there.
He's still in there.

Take him down!

Bubba, go get the car.

Well, cissy.

You're just in time.

Guys, stop your firing.

Stop your firing.

Faulkner, I thought you
told me she was safe.

She was.

Come on out where I can see you.

No chance!

I ain't bluffing, Faulkner.
I'll kill her if I have to.

That won't do you any good, burl.

Every road in and out of here,
covered by federal agents.

Well, then you gonna get us out of here.

You ain't got much time, Faulkner.

Faulkner, what the hell are you

talkin' about federal agents?

We ain't got no federal agents.

You let me handle this.

Hold it.

Over there.

Looks like you lost your best friend, burl.

Don't you try anything cute, Faulkner.

All I have to do is let go of this lever.

Throw that away.

I'm not bluffin', burl.

You wouldn't kill the girl.

I'm not Frank.

Just try me.

You're crazy, man.

Yeah.

Get over here.

Sonny, save me some, will you?

It's a dud.

One thing about you,
burl, you bluff easy,

but you make damn good whiskey.
