Original subtitles

This has got to be beginner's luck, right?

I mean, there ain't no other way to explain this kind of run.

Oh, I have seen it on TV,

and I'll tell you, I'm a very, very fast learner.

So here we go.

Black beauty.

Tell ya something; I got a love-hate relationship

with that girl right there.

You know, on one hand,

means the game is about to end.

On the other hand,

it means I'm about to take your money.

Hey there, Billy boy.

Beginner's luck ain't what it used to be.

Yeah.

Everybody out!

Let's go.

Listen, Richie.

I'm going to get your money. I just

need more time; that's it.

More time. Needs more time.

More time. You know,

you make me look stupid,

by giving you chance after chance.

Rich, I'm not trying to make you look stupid.

I don't like looking stupid,

Richie, I'm going to get it for you.

You know what? Time's up.

Let's go. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Richie. Richie. - Now.

Listen to me, Richie.

Look what you made me do, Richie.

I'm going to get your money.

I swear I will.

And we're going to be square.

I promise you, Richie.

I want him dead.

Understand?

Dead.

Is it just me, or is insanely hot in here?

AC is bipolar.

And the heat just cuts any time she feels like it.

As useless as lips on a chicken.

Maxx, did you put in a new coding system?

This report reads

B-R-A-K N-T-R.

No. Sorry, sir, it's a B and E.

The E doesn't work on my keyboard.

A lot of things are breaking around here, boss.

I've asked repeatedly, but Mayor Brady

said we just don't have any money.

Sorry, boss.

Uh...

Sheriff.

Hallelujah.

14,500.

Got 10,700. Here.

I'm rich.

Finders keepers, right? - Wrong.

The discovery was made on city property.

- What does that mean? - It means you're still broke.

And we got to find the rightful owner.

But do we really?

Maxx.

I'm not suggesting we keep the cash ourselves,

but this is mystery money.

It's been in that deer head for years.

I mean, possibly decades.

And it could help pay for the upgrades we need.

Mayor Brady just texted me.

I gotta meet with the head of the

Reclaimed Property committee.

We have one of those? Apparently.

Who is it?

Well,

this is quite the novel situation we have here. I

don't think I've ever run into this before.

Well, that makes two of us.

Okay.

Well, I checked the city bylaws.

I suggest that you at least try to find the rightful owner.

If, unfortunately, you're unable to do so.

I could probably arrange to see that 15 grand

of the money goes to your station for that

facelift you keep asking about.

Well, what about the other ten grand?

Well, yours is not the only

office around here that's in need of an update.

Nothing.

What's going on here?

It's a treasure hunt.

Hey, Sheriff.

What'd you find out?

Well, that the finders keepers rule might apply.

I'm rich.

But not to you. To the station.

We just need to exhaust every avenue

to see if we can find out who the rightful owner is.

So, RP, check on the serial numbers of this cash,

see if any of it's been stolen or if it's counterfeit.

Maxx, see if we can find out about the history of this

museum.

Dwayne. - Yes, sir.

I want you to clean this place up.

And don't tell anyone about this.

We don't want a bunch of people showing up

with stories about how the money is theirs.

Yes, sir. I'll keep my lips sealed up

tighter than Dick's hatband.

Bill?

Well, it ain't Lash LaRue.

What are you doing here?

You know I had some business in Charlotte.

I seen a sign that said "Blue Ridge."

Thought it would be pretty stupid I didn't come

give my baby cousin a hug.

Bring it in here.

We spent every summer together, growing up.

All day, every day.

That's the truth.

I bet you got some stories for us, don't you, Bill?

Let me tell you something.

When we were young, that one right there,

would run his mouth so much he'd dig himself in a hole.

Before there were pythons under them sleeves,

he had pipe cleaners.

That's the truth.

Put this in the evidence locker.

Looks like I am in the wrong line of business, huh?

What do you do for a living, Bill?

I am a retired billiards aficionado.

He's a pool hustler.

Retired.

Good. Let's continue this conversation over at Elli's diner.

I'm sure she'd love to see you.

Well, I think we both know that's not true.

So after five years, he just shows up out of the blue.

It's actually good to see him again.

Has he asked you for a loan yet?

Place to crash? Car to borrow?

Well, man, you are not the little rug rat

I remember from five years ago.

- Nope. - You got to be how old now?

You pushing, what, 29? 30?

- 16. - What?

That is crazy talk. Are you really?

- Yeah. - I thought for sure you're out of college by now.

What? No.

Yeah, I know,

16's a good number.

That's a really good number.

You got driver's license yet?

Nope. Most of my friends have theirs.

But my dad won't let me get mine

till I can change a tire blindfolded.

- I like that rule. - No!

Yes! He come up with that?

- Yeah. - What? That's good.

I support that wholeheartedly.

All right, history lesson.

Your daddy ever tell you the time he flipped

a car when he was 16. - No. What?

- He left that part out, didn't he? - Yes!

All right. Let Uncle Bill tell you a true story,

because he's gonna tell you it's not his fault.

He's only here for a couple of days.

You said that last time. He ended up on our couch for two months.

Well, when we went through our divorce,

I was riding the couch for four months.

Besides, he's staying at the Pinevale Inn.

Okay. Just be careful, Justin.

You are always so loyal to him.

I thought loyalty was a good thing.

Okay. Well, there is too much of a good thing.

Thank you.

Hey. I called all the owners that donated exhibits.

No one knows anything.

Fortunately.

Well, I'm going deep.

I contacted my seventh grade history teacher.

Brought us here on a field trip one time.

Total bust. - Wow.

Who knew not solving a case would feel this good?

We're actually trying, right?

Yeah. Um- We're not

not trying.

Right.

Right.

Every lead that turns out to go nowhere

brings us one step closer to the 21st century.

Just saying.

I'd settle for the 20th century.

So

you really are retired?

I really am, cousin.

You know, I think when you're that

knee deep in the hustle,

you know, it takes you a minute to realize

there really are no winners.

Now, it took me a minute, but

I'm here.

- You good? - Ah, bill.

Oh, no. No. Lunch- lunch is on the house.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm not gonna accept that.

It's on me.

You can keep the change.

First time for everything.

Also, I ran the serial numbers; not a single hit.

So at least it wasn't stolen.

What about the museum? Any leads?

Yeah. I mean, most of the stuff was either donated

or bought at an estate sale

over the last 50 years,

but no one knows anything concrete.

What about the DF marking on the back?

Nothing yet.

Can we keep it?

Well, like I said, we have to exhaust every avenue.

Can't just take the scenic route.

Pull over for a picnic.

Hello.

Hey.

So there's a sucker here.

Couldn't pot a ball to save his life

and he's drinking like a fish.

Could I get a loan?

I'm about to take him

for everything he's got.

Is this fellow local?

No, sir. He's just passing through.

It's perfect.

And let me guess.

You've already beat him a couple times.

But still, he wants to up the stakes some.

Yes. I just beat him

four straight games for ten bucks each.

Now he wants to up it to 500.

I mean, what an idiot.

So can I have that loan?

No!

No, you may not.

Hello?

Hello?

Uncle Jeremiah.

Well, yeah.

Sheriff, I'd like to start by saying that I'm a little

offended that you'd consider this to be my work.

This is an art form, Sheriff.

It's my job.

It's my duty

to make that raccoon

look regal, to make that otter

look majestic.

Well, is there any way to tell me how old that thing is?

40.

Probably 50 years.

Give or take.

Any way you can tell me what this

"DF" stands for. - Oh.

That'd be dumpster fire. - Oh.

Thanks for nothing. - Uh huh.

Oh, and, Sheriff, if you do happen to find

the responsible party. - Yeah?

Would you get them for crimes against taxidermy for me?

You sure about this, right?

Look at him.

Drunk as a skunk.

Like takin' candy from a baby.

Then let's get paid man; let's go. Come on.

Break.

Okay.

Well, that is some luck if I don't say so myself.

Thank you for the game, gentlemen.

That was all my money, Booster.

That was it.

Did you want another apple juice?

No. That'll be it for the day, Sugar.

He's drinking apple juice?

You the dummy.

You just got hustled with my money.

No, it was the other way around.

I was hustling.

Excuse me.

Yeah. We want our money back.

While I'm at it, I want your money too, for all the trouble.

Black, nice and hot.

Oh, yeah.

Well, he thinks he's smart

but a hustler always leaves a trail.

Can I break his wrists before we kill him?

You can break anything you want.

We want that money back.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, wait.

Ah!

Listen.

Just hear me out. - Oh!

About to beat $500 out of you.

What are you looking at?

Knock knock.

Okay.

Went over the bylaws

with the city attorney.

Only stipulation is that we are required

to publicly declare the discovery of the money.

That's it.

Who's your shadow?

Kansas.

My nephew.

What part?

Oklahoma.

The council put an ad in the paper.

You can read it.

Small print.

If no citizen can prove the money is theirs

in the next 48 hours the matter is considered resolved

and we are free to utilize the funds accordingly.

Hope you don't mind, I had the ad

direct folks to the sheriff's station

to make a claim, so heads up.

Boss? I'm gonna head out.

There's a disturbance down at the pool hall.

- Pool hall? - Yeah.

- I'll take that. - Calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.

Tell your jokes now.

Justin!

Thank the Lord.

We had a friendly game of billiards here,

and they wanted to up the stakes, and I obliged.

- He stole from us. - That's called betting.

That's how it works. - He hustled us, Sheriff.

No! You thought you were better than me and you're wrong.

Ain't nothin' illegal about that.

May not be ethical.

But it's not against the law. - Yeah.

I want to press charges against these two. - Oh you do, don't ya?

- No you don't. - Okay.

All right. - Booster, get out.

You.

I see you again, I don't care how you know

Mr. Sheriff over there.

You ain't getting up.

Yeah, I'm gonna catch you around.

Okay, listen. Let me explain.

Let me explain. - No, let me explain.

You don't mess with the Wades.

If I didn't show up, there's no telling

what they would have done to you.

But you did show up, cousin.

You showed up.

Yeah, for the last time.

I'm done bailing you out, cousin.

Hey there, Billy boy.

Hey, listen, Richie.

Sleepy time.

Right here is good.

Come on, Richie. You really gonna have me

dig my own hole?

I mean, think about this, Richie.

You- you- you kill me, you ain't gonna get a dime.

Not gonna get any money if I die.

What if I told you I'd get you 25 grand?

I know- just, just- they found-

Richie, listen to me. Richie. Richie.

They found $25,000 inside of a deer skull.

I know it sounds crazy in a deer skull.

They found it in the sheriff's office.

I saw it with my own eyes.

I can get it for you.

- How? - The sheriff is my cousin.

We're family.

He trusts me and I can get it for you.

I can- I can get ya 25 grand, Richie.

We're gonna kill him either way, right?

All right. You get 24 hours.

- That's all I need. - And don't do anything stupid.

I got you.

Deputy, as I was explaining to your colleague,

I know that taxidermy is mine. Look at the stitching.

I've seen it on my own work many times.

I respectfully withdraw my claim.

Obviously, Connor's attempt to keep this quiet failed.

And Dwayne's. People seem to know the exact dollar amount.

Excuse me. Um...

I'm here to collect my deer head.

It seems I left it during last month's renovations.

- Get lost. - Yup.

Dwayne.

- Who is this? - My attorney.

He said that finders keepers law

is the cornerstone of the American legal system.

Tell me if you- - Well, he's wrong.

I hope you're not paying by the hour.

Don't worry. I'm not here for the money.

I just figured in all the chaos,

you probably hadn't time to get any lunch.

And I wanted to make amends for earlier.

So, I stopped by that barbecue place on the parkway.

Got some brisket and hush puppies.

And I see you're pretty busy here.

So if you want, I can just

stick it in your office.

It smells great.

And I'm starvin'.

It was hard for me to not take a bite.

Dwayne.

Yes, sir.

Did you share the details of our discovery with anyone?

I may or may not have told a couple folks,

but it was in the strictest of confidences.

Scout's honor.

If you need me, I'll be in my office.

You know, I know it's not the

Blue Ridge Museum of Modern Art,

but you do have some pretty great pieces in here.

Well, look, I'll-

I'll get out of here, let you eat your lunch.

You're not stayin'?

No, I just throw this away.

Leave you alone.

I appreciate it, Bill.

Aw, it's- it's nothing.

But no more trouble.

No, none.

I'll see you later, cuz.

There you are. - Mmm.

Looks delicious, El. Thanks.

Say, El, uh...

You know, sometimes my ears work

a little better than I like them to and I

overhear stuff I wish I hadn't.

I just want you to know that,

I understand where you're coming from.

It's not lost on me that I ain't never been the best

influence in Justin's life, throughout the years.

So I don't blame you for how you feel about me.

But he sure has been a good one in mine.

Probably the best in my whole life.

I really look up to that guy.

You know, in this, if I'm

being honest, I guess I just,

I guess I just keep rolling back into town,

you know, hoping some of him will rub off on me.

So I just want you to know, you know...

I'm gonna be packing up, and I'll be leaving town shortly.

And I ain't got no

plans to come back.

You know, you got my word.

I won't burden him.

Won't burden you. You all have...

something great here; I respect it and I

you won't see me again. You know, you got-

you got my word.

Justin wouldn't want that.

I mean, the truth of it is,

he would like to see you more often

than once every five years.

Maddie too.

Well, I don't know about that. You know, that's-

People can change, Bill.

You're family.

We don't give up on family. Not in Blue Ridge,

and certainly not Justin Wise.

Yeah.

I mean, he's one of the most loyal people I know.

Loyal to a fault.

One of his best qualities and his worst.

He's one of the best men I know.

He is.

What you got there?

Well, I guess it's chicken fried steak, isn't it?

That's like an oxymoron, right?

Yeah, I don't

think you truly know what

oxymoron means.

You're a funny guy.

You got two hours to get me that money.

Listen, Richie,

I'm gonna pay you back.

I just need more time. That's it.

A little bit more time?

You need to be a better manager

of your time.

You know what?

Just be at this spot

at 5 p.m. sharp.

Because Hank here is hoping you don't make it.

That way he can hunt you down,

break every bone in your body and bury you.

Understood.

Me?

I just want my money.

So, don't mess around, Bill.

Because if you do,

things will end very,

very bad for you.

Can I get you gentlemen anything?

Oh, no, thank you, ma'am.

We were just

catching up with our pal here.

Food looks great, by the way.

Two hours.

Those are friends of yours?

Yeah, you know, something like that.

El, restroom in the back?

Down the hall.

Be right back.

Hey, Sheriff. We just got a call

about a disturbance at the pool hall.

Got it.

RP and I will check it out

because I need you to go check out a possible lead

about the money we found.

There's a woman who might be the rightful owner.

The address is on my desk.

Got it. I'm leaving right now.

Hey there, buddy.

Man, where is everybody?

Oh, they're all gone.

It's just me.

Auxiliary deputy Dwayne Dixon.

Well, auxiliary deputy Dwayne Dixon,

I appreciate the service. Listen, uh...

Justin asked me to come in here,

take a peek at the HVAC.

He said it was on the fritz somewhere.

You know, I dabble in the HVAC community as well,

so if you need some help- - No, no, no, no,

I don't want to steal you from any important

desk duties, but, I think I'll start

in his office and see if I can find the issue.

Two minutes. - All right. Appreciate it.

Let me know if you need anything.

- Ashley, we got a call about a disturbance. - No, sir.

It has been quiet as a library around here.

Now, he was planning on helping our

granddaughter pay for college. - Thank you.

She would have been the first in that family to go.

- Oh, you have a beautiful granddaughter. - Oh, thank you.

He passed away.

Never got to see her off.

Oh, here you go.

It certainly looks like our deer.

Darin was proud of that.

Darin? Your husband's name was Darin?

Yes. Darin Frank.

Uh...

Mrs. Frank,

I need to report back to the Sheriff.

I don't think you'd be disappointed.

Any word on the money, Sheriff?

Yep. Maxx found the owner.

Was it that little old lady?

Yeah.

I'm gonna get the money

and return it to Mrs. Frank.

Think she'll have a finder's fee?

Probably not.

Were you here all alone?

Yes, sir. Well, except for your cousin.

- My cousin? - Yeah.

Your cousin you sent by to fix the AC.

Sweet fella. - Was he ever out of your sight?

Well, when he come by to fix the unit.

Yeah, he was all by himself. - But does it feel fixed to you?

Well not yet.

Hey, Justin. Listen, I'm really embarrassed

to have done something like this to you,

but I want you to know that my back

was against the wall.

Yeah. I had your back and you stabbed mine.

You don't understand.

Justin, these are not nice guys.

They tracked me all the way to Blue Ridge.

The only thing keepin' me alive

is the promise of that money.

All right, I'll help you. Tell me where you're going.

Listen to me. You said you were done

digging me out of holes and fixing my problems.

And you should be. You shouldn't have to

dig me out of a hole

If it means getting the money back,

I'll make an exception.

Where are you?

Listen, Justin,

you got a great life out here in Blue Ridge.

You got a great family.

You know, I spoke to El the other day

in the diner and she understands.

I think you know, you got a great one in her.

I love you, cousin.

I'm sorry for always being such a disappointment.

Look Bill, you're family.

Family doesn't give up on each other.

Bill, tell me where you're going.

Bill.

Did you talk to Bill?

Yeah. Is everything okay?

Well, it's Bill we're talking about.

But he stole all the money from the station.

He said there's a couple of guys after him.

And they'll kill him if he doesn't hand over the cash.

He was in here with a couple of guys,

and they looked really scary.

So he's telling the truth.

I know I said that you shouldn't help him out anymore

but I think this is different.

I agree. I just don't know where he's going.

I do, I do.

Here. I took this.

I think that's where he's headed.

- Will you send this to me? - Mm hmm.

I need both of you to gear up.

Meet me ASAP.

I'll send you an address.

No, stay.

And this time, don't let anyone in.

Not your friends, not your family.

Not the pizza delivery guy.

Copy that.

Station's safe with me.

You're late.

Yeah, well.

My money in there?

It is.

I want, you know, something. It ends right here

today, Richie. Because I ain't-

runnin' anymore.

Ain't hidin'.

So this ends it.

You understand me?

Send it over so we can count it.

I mean, you understand

my concern about your trustworthiness.

Given your past.

Funny thing. Hank and I was just talking about

how impressed we were with you.

Is that right?

I mean, not everyone could rob a police station

in broad daylight.

Yeah well, what can I say?

That's some next level stuff.

You know, in a different lifetime,

you would have been very useful to me.

Huh.

It's too bad this deal's not going to work out for you.

You can kill him now.

Something funny?

No, I mean not- not really.

I guess I figured you're still going to kill me.

Once I gave you what you wanted.

Look at you.

You're such a smart guy.

Sheriff's department! Freeze!

Justin? You okay?

Peachy keen, Bill.

Just stay down and don't get shot.

I think I got him.

There, I got the sheriff.

Come out, Sheriff.

We're gonna find you, Billy boy.

Don't move! No, you don't move.

Give me the gun.

That's right.

Got you, Billy boy.

Sheriff!

You good?

Cuff him.

Well, I appreciate it, Justin.

Thank you, man. - Well, you're not off the hook.

Breaking into a sheriff's station and stealing money.

It's not a small crime. It's a-

It's a big boy crime.

You'd believe me if I told you

I ain't stole your money? - No.

I ain't stole your money.

- Whoa, you can't be in here. Direct orders. - Relax.

The sheriff's sketchy cousin, paid me a hundred bucks to just

drop this off at the station.

Sucker.

Go ahead. Crack the case open. Take a look.

Whoa Nellie!

That's my underwear.

Where is it?

I guess you could say it's right

back where it's supposed to be.

Look, I knew regardless of what I did,

ultimately you were going to be the one held responsible.

You'd have to pay for my screw up.

And I know that's not how you treat family.

And I heard you when you called me that.

Family. You know that-

that meant something.

And I want you to know, things are gonna be different.

You know I'm

different.

I'm serious. I'm- I'm done with that stuff.

And I want you to believe that. All right?

Good.

Good.

What was your plan in there?

Plan?

Plan. See, the word sounds familiar.

Could you use that in a sentence?

Plan.

Ain't no plan.

I just wanted to be close enough to see the look

on their face when they opened up and saw my underwear.

I mean, whatever happened after that,

I was just going to wing it, you know.

I mean, I did find a can of bear spray

in the trunk of the car on the way there. So there's that.

That's just not a smart plan.

You don't think so?

Well consider this.

I may or may not

have left a note on a table in a diner

with an address on it, strategically placed

for Elli to find.

I might have done that. I can't really

remember, but that might have happened.

Always a hustler.

No. See,

Justin, there's an element of gambling in every hustle.

That wasn't a gamble.

I knew you'd show up.

Just who you are.

Can't help yourself.

I mean, I didn't know if you show up on time, but

I knew you were gonna show up.

And I envy that buddy.

I mean, did cut it close though!

Pretty close.

And I'm sure we all can agree it's always a good thing

to do the right thing, huh?

Miss Frank, it is with my great pleasure

to award you this money, which is legally and rightfully yours.

There you go, dear. Thank you.

You're so welcome. We're thrilled to return it to you.

I wanted to thank you again.

Oh, you're welcome, ma'am.

We're glad it went to someone like you.

Oh. Thank you.

And you, young man.

I want to give you something for your finder's fee.

A hundred bucks.

Thank you.

Yes, ma'am.

Still not enough for that Sea-Doo.

No, but it's enough for 100 scratch offs.

Which is just as good, son.

Gonna be rich!

I'm sorry.

He's not officially with us,

by the way.

Oh, that's good.

Hope to see you again soon, Uncle Bill.

Take care of that mom, you hear me?

You take care of yourself.

I will.

And you.

I got something I want to give you.

Hang tight.

What is it?

Well, it's your new pool cue.

And her name is Becky. So.

You don't want it?

I don't need it.

When I told you "I'm done," I mean,

I'm done. I want you to believe me.

Besides, if I get an itch, you know,

I can beat most mortals with a

warped pool cue anyway.

I'm kidding. I'm not.

I'm not going to get an itch.

I promise you, it's over.

I guess,

I guess this is it.

But I really want you to know that

I appreciate ya, a lot.

Hey.

We're family.

I appreciate you sayin' that.

You're always welcome.

Oh, I think the table's a little-

Mm hmm. Yeah.

How about we make a little wager?

How about if I win...

you have to do the dishes at the diner for a week.

And if you win,

I'll detail your Bronco.

The Bronco's pretty dirty.

You sure you want to wager?

Good shot.

- 5 ball. - Ellie.

That's a nearly impossible shot.

We had a pool table growing up.

My dad competed in a few tournaments back in the day.

May have taught me a thing or two.

Six ball, side.

And it's like I always say,

you're too trusting of people.

Eight ball, corner pocket.

Dad,

I think you've just been hustled.

I think you're right.
