What you got going here?

-Just a little breakfast for ya. -Hmm.

Okay.

You want me to try that?

You wanna try it?

I think I can show you a thing or two.

All right. I'd like to see that.

Well. [laughs]

Did I tell you or did I tell you?

It's impressive.

Why are you so good to me?

I'm only good because of you.

Ooh, peekaboo.

Who's this guy?

[inaudible]

[dialing phone]

[line ringing]

[phone ringing]

-Hello. -Hey.

Hey, did you get there?

Nah, I just pulled over. Checking in.

You must be getting close then, right?

No. I got a lot of driving ahead of me.

Dustin's expecting you, right?

Mm-hmm.

Well, you've been driving all day. Are you gonna find some place to stay tonight?

No.

I'm probably just gonna pull over.

I don't like not knowing where you are, J.T.

Just get a motel tonight.

Yeah, well, we don't have money for that.

You know, I'm worried about you getting tired when you're driving, and--

Hey, listen, everything's gonna be okay.

How's Jack?

He's good.

Getting cuter by the minute.

He's been waking me up every three hours 'cause he's been eating a lot.

Tell him I love him.

I will.

Let me know where you end up, okay?

Okay.

-Just call me when you find some place-- -Yeah. Okay, I gotta go.

All right, babe.

-I love-- -Bye.

Bye.

[disconnects]

[slow instrumental music playing]

How are you doing tonight?

Pretty good.

So, it's gonna be $14.28.

[swiping credit card]

I'm sorry, it says it's declined.

No, it should be good. Uh...

Check, check it again.

[door creaking]

[swipes card]

Uh, do you have another card?

[money rustling]

This is seven bucks. Hold on.

[sighs]

I got eight bucks. Um...

Should--Split the difference. There should be enough on the card.

Sure.

[swiping card]

It's not going through.

That's...

Forget it, sorry.

[serene instrumental music playing]

[keys jangling]

[door opening]

Hey.

You're getting in late.

Yeah. It's just, uh...

shooting shit with some guys after work.

Yeah?

How are the guys doing?

The guys are doing good.

[water running]

Did you get the diapers like I asked you to?

[swallows]

No, I forgot.

Come on. I asked you to do one thing.

I'll go get 'em now.

No, stop. You're not going now.

What? It's all good. I'll just--

When were you gonna tell me about these?

Em--

You told me you were gonna take care of these.

How bad is it, John?

I said I was gonna take care of it, right?

But, you didn't.

Now, these are past due. How are we gonna pay these?

How are we gonna pay rent next month, or

feed the baby?

Come on.

Is he starvin'?

-Are you? -Is that your idea of dealing with it?

Not fucking starving?

I'm just saying we don't have it as bad as some folks, is all.

I didn't marry "some folks."

I married you.

You told me

you would take care of us.

I'm already working overtime, I mean, what do you want me to do?

Shh. You'll wake up Jack.

I'm tired of not being home on the weekend.

I'm tired of not seeing you and Jack.

[sarcastically] Please, how many nights were you at the bar after work this week?

Come on, Emma. What are you talking about?

You're just gonna keep lying to me? Really?

At least be a man and own up to it!

What are you thinking?

You think we have money for you to be going out drinking with your buddies right now?

Yeah, I got a couple of beers with some guys after a job.

-So what? -[raised voice] So what!

You bought beers instead of diapers for our son.

Is that the kind of father you wanna be?

-Is it? -Are you serious, Emma?

You think this is how I wanna live?

You think I don't know what it's like to have a fucking dad hanging around?

[yelling] I'm doing everything I can to give you and Jack the life I know y'all deserve.

I don't know what to do anymore.

[Jack crying]

Well, you better figure something out.

'Cause it seems to me you're turning out to be just like your dad.

[banging]

[gas filling]

-[cashier] Okay, one cup of coffee, huh? -Yes, sir.

[cashier] Okay.

Eighty-nine cents.

Hey, pop.

Hey. You want a beer?

Some of this?

Nah, I'm good.

You see the fuckin' Bengals?

Nah.

Believe that shit?

I didn't see the game.

Ah, doesn't matter.

Fuckin' Marvin Lewis.

Jesus Christ, how that guy keeps his job?

Paul Brown must be spinning in his grave.

Probably has a Polaroid on somebody.

You should come by the house this week, Pop.

See Jack,

he's growing like a weed.

Yeah, I'll do that.

Sally.

Fucking yoga! [yells] Sally!

[Sally] Yeah.

Is the grill on? These steaks are ready.

[Sally] It's on. And I'm juicing.

Well, I'm not fucking juicing. Come and get this meat.

How's work?

Hmm, work is shit.

Well, that's why they call it work.

I've been working since I was 15. It's always been shit.

Well, it's not the work, it's uh...

lack of it.

I'm taking every job that comes my way.

It's never enough.

I'll tell you what my old man told me.

You just gotta figure it out.

Sally, please, come get these goddamn steaks.

Honey,

I was reading this article

and it said we should be vegan.

J.T., are you guys vegan?

Well, fuck, no, he's not vegan.

No, we're not vegan.

You gonna stay and eat some steak with your dad?

No. Uh, I'm gonna get going.

Em's waiting for me, so...

Tell her she should think about doing vegan with the baby.

I'll do that.

All right.

-See you, Pop. -Yeah.

[John] Dustin, it's J.T. Uh...

Still on my way to see you.

Give me a call back whenever you get this. I'm excited to get to work.

All right. Talk to you soon.

[disconnects]

[country music playing]

Well, have you figured it out yet, John Turner?

Fucking D, man...

what the hell are you doing here?

I ain't seen you in a minute, man.

Hey, Jimbo, give us two.

Yeah, buddy, I got the hell outta here as quick as I could.

Shit. I hear that.

I hear that uh, you got you a wife, now. A kid.

-[John] Yeah, man. -Just keep it, Jim.

Married now. Got a boy named Jack.

Damn, son. You got it like that now?

Mm-hmm.

Work is good.

Shit.

It's been fucking dead around here, man.

Yeah.

So, what you doing for work, huh?

North Dakota.

North Dakota?

A little town called Williston.

I went up there about a year ago,

looking for work like everybody else.

Oil fields.

Big money.

[John] Are you shitting me?

I'm dead serious.

I'm going back up tomorrow.

Just in town to see mom and help the old man out.

What's it like up there? I mean, uh...

What's the work like?

-What they got you doing up there? -Busting ass.

Are your folks hiring?

[chuckles] They might be.

Are you serious about work?

You look like you could use some. I might be able to help you out.

Are you serious about that?

As a heart attack, buddy. I gotta get outta here.

Listen, you think about it.

Give us a call.

Yeah, I'll call you.

[Dustin] Don't be a stranger, stranger.

[wrench turning]

[Sally] Donnie, J.T.'s here.

You guys want something to drink?

I'll go get it.

[Donnie] No, don't.

[Sally] Are you sure? I'm going out there.

Yeah. No, uh,

just stay in the house.

-[Sally] All right. -[Donnie] Thank you, Sal.

-[Sally] Buzz me if you need anything. -We won't.

[John] Gotta say, I'm kinda impressed you're still racing.

I ain't gonna be if I don't get this thing fixed.

Did you win?

Fuck, no, I didn't win.

I don't win anymore.

I just crash.

You know who I ran into last night?

Fuck!

Dustin.

-[sighs] -You remember him?

It's Bobby Swensen's kid. We used to play ball together.

Is that right?

Says he's been up in North Dakota working at the oil fields.

He says he's making all kinds of money.

If I wanted to, he could get me a job up there.

[wrench falls]

That way I can send some money back home to Jack and Emma.

Christ! Have you ever been to North Dakota?

No.

Wow! What a shithole.

I was there three months in the air force.

Goddamn, what a lot of nothing.

They couldn't pay me enough to go back up there.

But you're gonna run up there,

shit eating, grin, and freeze your ass off, huh?

Are you fucking kidding me, Pop?

I haven't had the opportunity to make this kind of money.

[scoffs]

[sighs]

So, that's your big master plan, huh?

Leave your wife and family here,

head up to North Dakota?

I just thought maybe you'd be proud.

I'm trying to do more for Jack than you ever did for me.

[phone ringing]

-Hello. -[John] Dustin.

It's me, J.T.

Well, what do you say there, John Turner?

[John] I'm in.

[Dustin] Well, all right, then.

[water pouring]

-Morning. -[John] Morning.

Sleep all right?

Yeah.

Sit down.

What's with you?

I found a job.

Really?

That's great, babe. Where is it?

It's in North Dakota.

What?

Look, I ran into Dustin.

-You remember him? -Yeah.

Well, he's been up there working in the oil fields.

He's says guys are making six figures.

What are you saying?

You get up there,

you get on one of these rigs,

you get settled in,

you get two weeks on, two weeks off.

I'm gonna be making more money than ever.

I'm gonna be able to come home.

I'm gonna be able to take care of you and Jack.

This is the best you could come up with?

Leave me here with our baby while you go chase oil?

-Em. -What do you even know about that?

This is unbelievable. Don't, don't--

[bell ringing]

I thought I heard somebody out here. What can I do for you?

-I was just looking for a room. -Oh, okay.

You're in luck. I think I have one room left.

I do. Room 11. How long do you want it for?

-To start with, a week. -Start with a week?

-Yeah. -Okay.

What brings you up this way?

A buddy of mine, he lined me up with some work.

Yeah, I heard that one before. I hope it works out for you.

So, we'll take care of all the paperwork after dinner. Is that okay with you?

-Yes, sir. -All right. Great, great, great.

No, that means you too, though.

I cook for everybody on Sundays.

So, you come on in, make you a plate, and we'll go from there, okay?

Just call me.

[disconnects]

[phone dialing]

[ringing]

[phone ringing]

-Hello? -Hey.

I'm here.

Well, good.

How's the motel?

It's not too bad.

I want you to be careful while you're up there, okay, J.T.?

While you're working, and just out and about too, you know?

-How's Jack? -He's good.

He misses his daddy.

I miss his daddy.

I miss you too.

I love you.

Love you too.

Okay.

-Bye. -Bye.

[indistinct chatter]

[laughing]

[talking indistinctly]

[man] It's all about the work.

That's what you can do up here in Williston.

-Is work. -Yeah?

Yes, sir. There's jobs everywhere.

Well, that's good to hear.

[John] Hello, yeah, I'm calling about your "help wanted."

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I just got to town.

No.

No, I don't. Sorry.

[John] Hey, how're you doing? I'm calling about your "help wanted" ad.

Yes, all right.

Yeah, of course.

Can you give me the number?

Uh-huh.

No, thanks. Okay.

No, I will. I really appreciate that. Thank you. You too.

Bye.

[woman] So these are the jobs that we list every week. And we get probably...

80 to 150 new jobs every week.

Do any of the, uh, oil jobs come up on here?

-Yup. There's one, two, three. -Oh. Okay.

-And I just sign up here, first? -Yup. So you're gonna sign up there.

What we'll do is, have you finish this,

and once you get finished, you just wanna raise your hand

-and someone will be able to help you out. -Okay.

[playing billiards]

-What can I get for ya? -Can I get a beer?

Yeah.

[rock music playing]

Want to roll me?

Excuse me?

You want to roll me for it?

You roll. I roll. Whoever wins pays for the next song.

Right, right. Sorry.

Yeah.

[throws dice]

Not bad.

[throws dice]

Oh, shit.

-Looks like you're buying. -All right.

What do you wanna hear?

Sure whatever you want is gonna be good.

That's right.

[country music playing]

I'm Jamie, by the way.

-J.T. -Nice to meet you.

You mind if I ask you a question?

Shoot.

You know who I might talk to about finding some work around here?

Uh, it's kinda tough right now.

What work are you looking for?

Just enough to support my family.

See those guys back over there,

they work on the oil rig.

If they like you, they might be able to help you out.

Yeah?

Good luck.

Thanks.

[man] Help you find work?

Oh, she says some of you guys work on the rig.

[man] Everybody's looking for work.

To be one of us, there.

I mean, if you got anything,

-I'm willing-- -Y'all thirsty?

It's on J.T.

[man] Now he's buying rounds. Have a seat.

Thanks.

So, what are you looking for?

I mean, anything, you know, just...

trying to make some money.

Well, a lot of us are trying to do that.

Yeah, I think I can bring something to the table here.

Really? Looks like every other guy that walks in here.

Not me. I'm not trying to fuck around or anything.

-You know. -No?

I just want work.

Some decent honest work.

[indistinct chatter]

It should be done.

[John] So how long have you guys been up here working?

I'm going 14 years.

-Seven years. -Seven years.

-You all born and raised here? -Born and raised, yeah.

[man] I've been working since I was like six or seven.

You'll got a real claim to this land.

Oh, yes.

Well, how do you feel about people,

you know, lotta people coming up here?

I mean, we take the good with the bad. It's 50-50.

I've met a lot of cool people. I've met a lot of assholes too.

It's good for the town, don't you think?

-My graduate high school was 9,000 people in this town. -Yeah.

Last year was what, 40,000.

That's 40,000 people.

-Like that's when it was hitting hard, right? -Oh, yeah.

This point, last year, there was, what,

192 rigs running. Now there's only 65.

Why is it slowing down so much, 'cause of the oil prices?

Everything Middle East is flooding the market.

Flooding the market with oil.

-Scrapping the prices... -Yeah.

It's kind of a boot in the ass to us.

-It's gonna come back, right? -We hope so.

I mean...

In 2010, they predicted this boom was supposed to be good for 20 years.

And, two years later, we're...

chipped. [laughs]

Tough times make tough people.

[Jamie] Who else is gonna need another? One, two, three?

More? No, you're not up here, all right.

[laughing]

Wait, I've heard there's, like, ten guys for every one chick.

There's like 20.

-[John] 20? -There's like 20.

That's favorable.

That's not your girlfriend, it's just your turn.

[laughing]

All right. I don't even know what to fucking say to that.

Well, shit, J.T., I mean,

give us your number.

If anything comes up, we'll get ahold of you.

[John] All right. My cellphone don't work for shit up here, but

I'll give you the number of The Grand View, that's where I'm staying.

What the hell are you doing at The Grand View?

Hey, man, that's the only place I can afford right now.

Well, we'll try and get you set up.

Man, I appreciate you guys

lendin' me your ears.

Jim.

Here you go. J.T.

-Take it easy, man. -See you around.

So, how did it go?

Not too bad.

Well, uh...

thanks again for helping me out back there.

Yeah, hey, uh,

if you, uh...

get tired of the job hunt,

or, find yourself some downtime,

give me a call.

I will.

-Thanks. -Yeah.

[dialing]

[ringing]

[phone ringing]

-[Emma] Hello? -Hey.

-Did I wake you? -Hey.

Sorry.

-[Jack gurgling] -Yeah, I was trying to call you tonight.

I know, I'm sorry. Just, the reception's really bad here.

Okay, well, I gotta get Jack back to sleep.

[John] Okay, goodnight.

Call you tomorrow. Love you.

I love you too.

[Jack crying]

Okay, okay, shh.

[guitar music playing]

* I've been walking

* Back and forth

* Hoping

* You'd show up

* At my door

* And I look out my window

* Sad and blue

* And I keep pacing

* Waitin' on you

Hey, Turner.

-Hey, you got a message, man. -Hey, thanks.

You're welcome. They called a little while ago, so you can give them a call.

-All right, man, I appreciate that. -Hey, no problem.

[dialing]

Hey, this is J.T.

You're from the bar the other night?

No, I just got your message.

Good.

Yes, of course. Well, that's...

No, that's great news.

Yes.

I'll be there.

Thank you.

[upbeat instrumental music playing]

-Hey, how're you doing? -Good. How are you?

-Good. -So, you're my new floor-hand?

Yes, sir.

Got any FR gear, or work clothes?

No, I don't have any of those stuff.

Grab that gear right there.

Go get changed and go get to work.

The change house?

It's right over, next to the rig. It's that square building, right there.

All right. Thank you.

[drum music playing]

*

Start from there.

*

[alarm beeping]

Go on that way.

[indistinct chatter]

I will.

[man] J.T., hurry it up.

Just like the rest of my hands, you gotta do it a little bit faster.

Same thing?

*

*

[alarm beeping]

[alarm stops]

*

[woman] Can I help you today?

-[John] I'm just gonna send some money. -All right.

Kindly write all the information right here, please.

We're gonna need your name, your phone number, your address.

How much do you wanna send?

Uh, I'm gonna send $2,400.

It's around $48 fee.

Forty-eight dollars? Sure.

It's $2 for a hundred.

All right.

Right.

[receipt tearing]

-Thank you, very much. Have a nice day. -Thank you.

All right. You too.

[John] No, I haven't been back home.

-But I've been sending all my money back home. -[man] Mm-hmm.

She's giving me a hard time though, being up here.

One time with me. I, I was up here for a good three months,

paying all the bills back home from up here.

And she kind of, she came around.

Especially after I flew her up here.

-Yeah? -Had her visit for about, I don't know, a week or two.

And, uh,

I told her, like, "Look, this is how it is."

We can either be home and starve,

or I can be out here, and you can eventually move up here,

and we can prosper.

I hear that, man.

And, sometimes, tough love is what you gotta give them.

It's like, "Listen, I'm paying the bills, right?"

So, this bartender,

she just brought over a bunch of drinks for the guys and said they're from you?

-Yeah.[laughs] -Is she cute?

I mean,

yeah, she's easy on the eyes.

-[man] Yeah? Tell me about her. -Yeah.

She's about this tall.

-Gosh, damn it. -Yeah.

-No. -[laughs] Yeah.

What else?

She's like blond, cute, real pretty.

-She gave me her number. -Yeah?

-Yeah. -So are you gonna...

I'm married, man.

I mean,

a lot of guys out here are married.

Have wives back home.

-[man] Right now, you feel the floor vibrate? -[John] Yeah.

Downstairs, they probably switched on the mud pump.

Yeah.

-The two buildings that pump the fluid. -Mm-hmm.

-That's the heartbeat. -All right.

-When I torch that pipe... -Mm-hmm.

...speed that up to grade five.

We've got those tongs. There's 23,000 tonnes of torque right there.

-Shit. -They popped off...

So I hit the brakes, like the handle over there.

-All right. -That stops it, 'cause it's gonna get hotter.

I'm weighing about 200,000 right now,

which is light for me, but...

it's still enough to smoke it quick.

Right now we're on a six-well pad, we're on hole number 3 right now.

We've got two more laterals to drill.

-All right. -About 21,000 feet of diesel.

So, on a four-hole pad,

usually a month a hole.

They go along with the surface

roughly 2,000 feet plus miles.

They go surface, surface, surface.

Then they go drill the casings.

They drill 'em down, do a curve.

Case that, you walk back and do that again.

Do that again while you walk back,

You get rid of all the five inch pipes, pick up four inch pipes,

and drill laterally.

That's what we're doing right now.

[slow instrumental music playing]

[phone ringing]

-Hello. -Hey.

Hey, sweetie. How's everything with you?

Yeah, everything's good.

It's great, actually.

You guys getting the money?

Yeah, yeah, we got it.

Got some bills paid.

Good.

Terry's finally off my ass about the rent. So...

That's good.

So, work's been good then?

Yeah. Work's been great.

Well, yeah, the money's been nice, but...

I want you home.

I know. It should only be for a little bit longer.

Well, I gotta get going.

Why, where are you going?

Some of the guys are, uh...

from the rig are going out tonight.

Gonna meet up with them.

All right.

Call me tomorrow.

-Okay, I love you guys. -Love you too.

All right. Bye.

[rock music playing]

Wow, you're doing a lot worse than me.

Damn it, Stu.

Hey, you did get a 19.

Hey, one of those blue ones is fucked up.

Oh, is it?

No, no, they're perfectly fine.

- That was you that sucked -[laughter]

[indistinct chatter, laughter]

Wow, he's the worst one here.

You're supposed to throw at that spot.

[cheering]

Well, hey there, stranger.

I ain't seen you in a minute.

Thought you might have gone back to wherever you came from.

Uh-uh.

Those guys you introduced me to, ended up bringing me on the rig.

And?

[chuckles] It's the hardest shit I've ever done in my entire life.

Good lord.

Worked, slept, and peed for the past two weeks.

Yeah?

I have a couple of days off now.

Guess that means you'll be giving me a call.

Yeah.

[soft instrumental music playing]

*

Holy shit, look.

Holy shit.

One big fucker.

-[John laughs] -I wanna see.

Hey, yo, buffalo!

-[John] Is that--they do that? -They don't give a fuck.

[Jamie] He's just hungry.

There you go.

-First buffalo. -I've never seen one before.

[Jamie laughs]

I ain't never smelled one before, like that.

There's a lot more of that, where that came from.

Guess that makes sense...

-that saying. -What?

"Smell like the north end of a south-bound buffalo."

[laughs] That's very good.

-[John laughs] -Never heard that.

So you from around here?

Yeah. Born and raised in the back end.

Shit.

So where are your parents at now?

If you don't mind me asking.

No.

Dad, retired at Florida. Mom...

well,

it's hard to be the wife of a roughneck.

She stuck around for a few years after I was born.

Then she took off for California.

Didn't have any family or money. That was why she...

left me here.

Dad worked real long hours

so, he didn't have time for the stuff that mattered,

girlfriends, so I pretty much fended for myself.

I'm sure that must have been kind of hard.

Yeah, sometimes. But he made real good money, so I could

pretty much do whatever I wanted.

Ah, turn in right here.

Go right.

Yeah.

Then go left.

[Jamie] This is the most beautiful place on earth.

-Pretty fucking cool, huh? -Yeah.

[Jamie] Come here.

All right,

John Turner,

you know a ton about me, but I don't know anything about you.

-What's your deal? -Uh,

it's no deal.

Just...

Country boy,

decided to move out to Williston, North Dakota, just for kicks?

No, I stopped here to work.

Amen, the way.

-[bowling pins falling] -[John] Oh! [laughs]

[Jamie] Oh, yes!

[Jamie laughing]

[upbeat instrumental music playing]

*

[kissing]

I'm starving.

You want me to make you breakfast?

Yeah. Are you gonna go make me breakfast?

-Yeah. -What are you gonna make?

Pizza rolls.

Ew.

For breakfast?

-They're good. -Screw you.

[both laugh]

It's late.

[Jamie laughs]

What have you got going on this week?

Gotta work.

You know. Play pool with the girls on Saturday.

See what everyone else got going on.

I don't know.

You want to get in the shower?

I'll go after you, go on.

Yeah.

[keys jangling]

[door opens]

[door shuts]

Hey! Where've you been?

Sorry, Billy.

Don't let it happen again. If you want a job, you need to be here on time.

-Yes, sir. -Get to work.

Yes, sir.

[engine stops]

[bottles clinking]

[water running]

[Emma] Oh, hey, you busy?

I was just getting ready--

'Cause I figure you must be real busy if you don't call me back for three days!

I left you a bunch of messages!

-I know. -What do you mean, you know?

You got the messages, you can't just check in?

I know. Just been working doubles.

That's bullshit, J.T.

Is something going on?

No, nothing's going on.

-I'm stuck here working my ass off. -[sarcastically] Oh, right!

And what do you think it is I'm doing here, raising our son alone?

Yeah, well, you're getting the fucking money that I'm sending you.

Yeah, I got the fucking money.

I've had a long day, so, uh...

Why don't you just call me when you're not so busy?

[disconnects]

[Billy] How's it going?

[John] Damn cold.

-Come on in, and have a seat. -Okay.

I heard a good one, though--

Just hold-- hold off on your joke or...

Just wanted to let you know that

you're a heck of a hand

but, uh, 'cause of things slowing down, I gotta let you go.

Well, I thought things were going pretty good.

You haven't done anything wrong.

I said you're a good hand.

Just the way it is.

Well, you know I've been depending on this job

to take care of my wife and kid, right?

Yeah, and I'm sorry.

When things pick back up, I'll be more than glad to hire you again.

I guess I should settle things and go, right?

Good luck.

I've had a hell of a time working for you, Billy.

Thank you.

[water running]

[John] I think there's, hopefully, a couple of more opportunities up here.

[woman] Yeah, you can get something up here, if you just hang in here.

Yeah, you think?

Yeah, there's lots of work up here.

There's lots of people hiring and stuff. It's just a little bit slow right now, so.

If you can hang in up here, you'll get another job.

Yeah?

[John] I mean if there's anything available, I'd like to

get back to work.

-[John] How old is your daughter? -[man] My daughter's two.

[John] Yeah, I got a little one back home too.

I'm also up here just trying to send some money back home.

Can't get any work back home.

Yeah, yeah, it's tough.

It's tough anywhere else.

I mean, from what I'm hearing, Williston is where it's at to make some money.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

[phone ringing]

[cell phone vibrating]

-Hello. -Hey.

Dad, it's me, J.T.

Damn, what time is it? Are you okay?

I'm good.

Just...

figured I'd call to say hey.

Shit!

Couldn't it wait till the morning?

Look, shit ain't going too good up here.

I don't know what to do.

You know I'm trying to take care of Jack and Emma.

I just figured that

maybe you could--

I told you that place was a shithole, but you decided you had to go there.

I guess you're just gonna have to figure it out.

Right.

Go get some sleep,

and call me in a few days.

[knock at door]

Hey, how are you doing?

Uh...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but

rent's due today.

I'm gonna call my wife and have her wire me some money.

I can give you two days, but that's all I can give you.

After that, you're gonna have to find somewhere else to live.

No...

No, I'm gonna get it sorted out.

Well.

I appreciate that, Roy.

I hope everything works out for you.

Thanks, Roy.

-[woman] Hi. -[John] Hey.

-Abe around? -No, he's at work until late tonight.

Is there any way you guys, uh...

would let me crash here,

at least till I get on my feet?

-I can only let you stay here if you have a job. -Yes.

I can't let you stay here if you don't.

Right, um...

Sorry, it sounds kinda harsh but...

All right.

It's just the way it is, work's slowing down out here, so it's...

-you know. -Things are getting tough.

Things are getting tough.

[John] Hey.

Sorry to bother you,

you guys don't do rooms on credit, by any chance do you?

[man] Nuh-uh. All the rooms are--You have to pay up front.

[John] All right. There's just no way

-you can make it happen? -No, I can't.

-[John] Hey, how're you doing? -[man] Better, you?

[John] Good. Um...

I was just wondering, is there any way that you could...

get me a room on credit?

[man] No, I can't.

You have to make the payment straight up.

[John] Oh. What if I could, uh...

maybe, I could pay you tomorrow.

[man] No, I have to take the payment right now.

You know what, I hate to do this, but is there just...

is there any way that you could just help me out, please?

[man] No, I can't.

[knocking]

[man] Hey, man, I gotta have ya--

We want you outta here. We have the lot empty for our customers at 8:00 a.m., so.

Would you go ahead and take off, okay?

Sorry about that.

No, it's okay, thank you.

Hey, listen, if you're in need of a meal,

the Lutheran Church down the road,

serves meals on Sunday nights,

if you need anything, okay?

[indistinct chatter]

[woman] One order at a time.

[laughter]

-Hello. -Hello.

My name is J.T.

J.T.

Got enough to eat.

I'll get you some tacos.

All right.

-Take your hat off, please. -Oh, yes, ma'am.

Go to the guy in the purple shirt.

All right.

[John] All right. Thank you.

I bet you can eat patties.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, that sounds good.

[indistinct chatter]

Ah, it looks better than the alternative.

[laughs]

-[man] How's it going? -[John] Good.

-Good. I'm Kyle. -J.T.

Nice to meet you. What can I do for you?

Uh,

I was hoping to find some work.

Okay, let me take a quick look.

[typing]

I have a custodial job.

It will be from 8:00 until 4:00, tomorrow.

Is that something you feel that you can do?

Custodial?

Yep.

How much does it pay?

[typing]

Ten dollars an hour.

-Yeah, it's fine. -Okay.

[typing]

So, this where you're gonna be going.

And this is the supervisor on site.

So, I'll call him up and I'll let him know you'll be there at eight o'clock tomorrow.

I appreciate that.

No problem. Have a good day.

Hello.

J.T., where are you?

You're scaring me, babe. What is it?

I fucked up really bad.

Stop, John.

I don't wanna hear it. I don't need to hear it.

What you need to do

is come home and be with your family.

[John crying] I know.

All I wanna do is see you and Jack.

Well then forget that place and come home.

I will.

What do you need me to do?

[indistinct announcement through PA]

Hi, can I help you?

[John] Uh, you have a

ticket waiting for me?

-Name? -John Turner.

Mr. Turner, here's your ticket.

[bus pulling in]

Sting?

Yeah.

Good.

I'm sorry.

I am.

[phone ringing]

Hello.

Turner, it's Billy.

Billy.

Yeah, man, how the hell are ya?

I'm good.

Just in the middle of something. What's up?

Look, man, things are picking back up.

We need another guy. I can guarantee you at least six months.

Turner.

Turner, are you there?

Yeah. I'm here.

Well, what do you say?

["Heart's Too Heavy" playing]

* Well these angels In my eardrums *

* They can't tell Bad from good *

* I lived inside These melodies *

* Just to make sure I still could *

* Then I cried all night Even though I'm grown *

* Said, honey, hold me close Make it feel like home *

* 'Cause your love's Bright enough To burn all night *

* Sometimes love Is a losing fight *

* You try to keep going But the ride won't steady *

* You try to get high But your heart's too heavy *

* You got one thing On your mind *

* Now there's snake eyes On the sidewalk *

* And fireworks overhead

* Won't you roll out That red carpet *

* When we all wind up dead?

* As smoke rings Fade like a memory *

* You're honest as a ghost Maybe twice as free *

* You've got faith enough To lift this curse *

* What if faith is just A false God's verse *

* You try to keep going But the ride won't steady *
