Thanks.

Is it okay if I smoke?

Sure.

My matches are all wet.
You got a lighter?

Yeah. It's here somewhere.
It's my wife's car.

Ah, there we are.

I remember once
going on a school trip

to the top of the
Empire State Building.

When I looked down at the
crowds of people on the
street,

they looked like ants.

I pulled out a penny

and some of us started
talking about what
would happen

if I dropped it
from up there and it
landed on somebody's head.

Of course, I never crossed
that line and actually
dropped the penny.

I don't think
Early Grayce even knew
there was a line to cross.

I'm talking about the mind
of a serial killer

as it relates to culpability.
Someone who has no ability
to distinguish

between right and wrong
is like a child,

and in the eyes of the law,
he should be treated
like a child.

He should not be imprisoned,
let alone executed.

There you go again.

Well, next comes
the part where
you lay it all

at the altar of
misfiring synapses,

amuck biochemicals
and horrendous childhoods.

Although, it's a fact.
Most of these poor people

suffer from severe
chemical brain imbalances.

You think I put
enough tequila in here?
Probably not.

The answer is research
and treatment

under hospital-supervised
conditions,

not the electric chair.
Yeah, that's great, Brian,

unless it's
your mother's head they
find in the refrigerator.

Yeah, but executing
the killer would not bring
my mother back, now would it?

Thank God.
Everybody's a joker.

Yeah, but it'd sure make
you feel a lot better,
now wouldn't it?

No, actually,
actually it wouldn't
make me feel any better.

Brian, the bottom line
is these people are evil,

plain and simple.

No one said

It would be easy

How about a bowl of chili?
A hot one!

Be right there!

Antichrist will be
a woman in a man's
body

with seven heads
and seven tails.

Make that to go.

The antichrist

will be a woman in a man's body,

seven heads and seven tails.

Antichrist will be
a woman in a man's
body

with seven heads
and seven tails.

Yeah.

I always knew I'd be a writer,

but there's a big difference

between writing a magazine
article and writing a book.

I know.
I wrote a magazine article.

Everything I ever wanted
to know about serial killers

fit nicely on those four pages.

Brian, what are we doing here?

Research. Come on,
look at this place.

You'll get some
great photos in here.

This is where
her nightmares began.

Her father worked
the night shift here.

Most nights,
he'd take her with him.

She was 11 years old.

Of course the bastard knew
that nobody could hear her
screams

over the noise of the machines.

The article
got me a book deal,
a little cash up front.

But between the rent
and the convertible,

the advance was gone.

I owed a book and I was stuck.

What little I knew
about serial killers

I'd learned
in a university library,

and the only thing
I knew for certain

was that people didn't
kill each other in libraries.

She murdered her first
victim over here.

They found him
stuffed in the corner.

They found her
second victim
over there.

Can you imagine the
rage and pain she must have
felt returning to this place?

The victim returns to
the scene of the crime

and becomes the criminal.

Where did everybody go?

I didn't take that long.

No one said

It would be easy

Size seven.

That's right, ain't it?
Super size seven.

Oh, Early,
you're the specialest.

Happy birthday, Adele.

Oh, thank you, honey.
These are beautiful.

This reminds me of
Cinderella when
the prince

gave her his glass slipper,

except these ones are red,
and they ain't see-through.

And there's two of 'em.
Is that my chili?

Oh, honey.

Happy birthday to me.

Thank you.

Tonight turned out to be
pretty interesting, huh?

Oh, those fascinating friends
of yours and the stimulating
conversation?

No, the warehouse.

I'm not that stoned.

Oh, the warehouse.

Well, actually, yeah,
it was pretty interesting.

It was definitely
the highlight of
the evening.

You know, just being there
where it all really
happened...

I could almost...

Take your shirt off.

Yes, ma'am.

Come here.

Early. Early.

What?

I'll be waiting for you
when you get back.

Put your titty back up, Adele.

Oh, wait, I forgot.

Mr. Diebold
stopped by yesterday

and he said if we don't give
him his money by the end of
the month,

he's gonna kick us
the f-u-c-k out of
here.

He said that to you?
Cussed at you?

Mmm-hmm.

You gonna talk to him?

Well... Shut up!

If he comes back here,
don't you open that door.

Suppose he hears me inside?

I picked up some Chinese.

Did you hear from the gallery?

They got your slides back?

What did they say?

Oh, well, you know,
same story, different day.

They're idiots.

"Too graphic.

"Too overt.

"Not suitable
for mass consumption."

I forget what else.

You don't
want to be suitable
for mass consumption.

I know.

It's just, uh...

Who cares, anyway, right?

Not me.

Christ, I'm dying here, Brian.

Why can't we just
get out of here?

Why can't we just
get the hell out
of here?

Why can't we just
go to California?
Why not?

Just like that?
Yeah, just like that.

Yeah.

What the hell did
I know about California?

For some people,
it was still a place
of hopes and dreams,

a chance to start over.

The idea was, if
you could just get there,
everything would be okay,

and if it wasn't okay there,

well, then it probably wasn't
going to be okay anywhere.

Adele?

Whose car is that out front?

She's not here!

Shit.

Well, look who stopped by.

And I ain't supposed to be
at the parole office till
tomorrow, 2:00.

You know, Early,
you're supposed
to notify me

when you lose your job.

Yeah.

I stopped by the
mirror factory today.

You left quite
a mess behind there.

Well, that wasn't my fault.

It's dangerous there
and they treat me
like shit.

Oh! Nobody ever has treated
you right, have they, Early?

Your daddy was picking on you
when he threw you out of the
house

for stealing the
tires off his truck.

The police, way out of line

when they kept you from
beating that bartender
half to death.

You know, Early,

I'll bet the
Lord's gonna be picking
on you come Judgment Day.

Now hold on there! I ain't
got nothing against God.

You see? It's just
the people he let...

Get out of there!

Goddamn, what you lookin' for?

That girlfriend of yours,

not much for
housekeeping,
is she?

Well...

I was
thinking about
moving anyhows.

Maybe down to Texas,

get me a job in one
of them there offshore...

What are you talking about?

Well.

You know
you can't leave the state.

Yeah, it's just a thought.

What you can do is get a job.

You be at this address,

3:00 sharp.

What is it?

Janitor's job.

Well, don't want
to be no janitor.

I don't give two shits
what you want and what
you don't want.

I'm telling you to be there.

Or you're
gonna be having
dinner with the Sheriff.

You understand me, boy?

You know, you ought to try
putting a bag over your
head for that cough.

Works every time.

Peg-armed piece of shit.

She came back to the warehouse

that her father molested her in.

Why?

Because this place
is the catalyst.

She needed to relive her own
nightmares before she could
kill those men.

The victims...

Oh, hey, sleeping beauty.

I didn't have the
heart to wake you.

Thanks.
Oh, my head.

Mmm.

What are you doing?

I sat down with your photos,

which are wonderful,
by the way...

Thank you.

...and my tapes
and I started writing.

How's it going?

It's the best stuff
I've ever done, and
I think I know why.

Why?

Because for the first time,

I understood that woman
as a human being.

I was walking
where she walked,
where she killed.

I was in her skin. I was
looking through her eyes.

I think we've got a book here,

with your pictures
and my writing.
It's a book.

A book on the warehouse murders?

No, no, a book on some of
the most infamous murders
in American history.

I want to go
to where they lived
and where they killed,

and I want
you to take the pictures
and I'm gonna write the text.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about this.

We can go through Tennessee.

We could drop through Arkansas,

wherever the hell Arkansas is.

There it is. And then
we can drop down into
Texas.

And from there,
it's a straight
shot right into...

California!
California.

California.
And we don't stop until
we hit the fucking ocean.

Thank you.
Oh, thank you.

Of course,
we don't have
enough money,

but we'll figure
something out,
right?

We'll figure something out.

Hold on a minute there, boy!
Shit!

God damn it,
you're gonna settle
that rent here and now!

I'm tired
of your bullshit,
boy! I want my money!

The chair!

You son of a bitch!
Come back here!

That's it! You tell him
I want you both the fuck
out of here by Sunday

or I'm gonna call the police!

Elvis, get the fuck off of him!

The rideshare was my idea.

I thought if we could find
somebody from the college

who wanted to go to California,

they'd help pay for the gas.

Carrie wasn't crazy
about the idea,

but the Lincoln only
got eight miles a gallon.

You know,
they say one of these
days the whole thing's...

The whole thing's going
to slide right in the ocean.
Yeah, I heard that.

Mmm-hmm.
"Looking for somebody

"to take
turns at the wheel
and share expenses

"on a week-long cross-country

"blue-highways tour of
historic murder sites?"

You've got to be kidding.

Brian, who in
their right mind is
gonna want to do that?

I would.

Like I said...

Hey, good luck on that thesis.

Hey, don't know where
the personnel office
is at, do you?

Personnel office is
first door on the left.

What, down there?

Stanky bitch. Shit.

Early!

How you doing, mama?

Fine.

Boy, I'm tired.

Dinner ready yet?
Almost.

Well, let me know.

Early?
Yeah?

Will you tell me
more about California?

Yeah, I guess so.

Let's see.

For one thing,

people think faster out there

on account of all
that warm weather.

Cold weather make people stupid.

That's a fact.

I guess that explain why
there's so many stupid
people around here.

It sure does.

You know what else?
What?

You never have to buy no fruit

on account
of it's all on the
trees everywhere you turn.

And they ain't got
no speed limits.

I hear
your first month's
rent is free. State law.

So I'm thinking,
till we get settled

we'll just move around
from month to month.

How'd that be with you, mama?

Um...

What are we gonna
do out there, Early?

By God,
first thing
we're gonna do is

get us a couple
six-packs of Lucky Lager

and we're gonna climb up to
that famous Hollywood sign

and we're gonna howl
at the moon, God damn it.

Yeah, just like that.

You know, I heard once

that there ain't nothing on
that old moon except some
little golf balls

that the astronauts left behind.

No, that ain't right.
That's bullshit.

Government be sending
people there all the time,

just don't want us
to know about it.

Now git!

Well, let me know
when you're finished.

Shit.

So what did he sound
like over the phone?

He was real polite.
He kept calling me
sir.

Ha, ha!
I like that.

Yeah, I'll bet you do.

You should try
it once in a while.

I don't know.
This is really weird.

I think we should have
at least met them first.

Beggars can't be choosers.

They were the
only ones to answer the
rideshare note, remember?

Oh, God, please
don't let them be as
boring as Brian's friends.

Anything but that.

Early,
we shouldn't be doing this.

Now, you know
you ain't even allowed
to be leaving the state.

And these people are strangers.

And what kind of people would
stop at places where other
people got murdered?

What if these people
are dangerous, Early?

They ain't
dangerous, mama.
They're writers.

Honey! Early Grayce!

Oh.

Did you
settle things
with Mr. Diebold?

Yeah, I did.
Left him with the car.

We're all straightened out.

What is that?

That's Lucy.
Huh?

That's mine!

Adele, what kind of
cuckoo-brain carries
a cactus in her purse?

Huh?
I don't know.

Straighten up.

Oh, Brian, you've
got to be kidding me.

Look at them,
they look like Okies.

Jesus, Early,
they look kind of weird.

They look like they've
got five bucks between
them.

Would you just smile
and let me do the
talking?

Let's just keep going.
Will you lighten up?

How many times you
gonna tell me that?

As many times
as it takes, Adele.

Lighten up.

Early?

Mr. Kessler?

Hi.
I'm Brian Kessler.

Yeah.
Nice to meet you.

You must be Adele.
Yeah.

Uh-huh. That's Adele.

Nice to meet you.
Hi.

Well,
can I help you
with your luggage?

Oh, yeah.

I'll get these.
Okay.

Hi. I'm Adele.

Hi. I'm Carrie.

Oh, I like your hair.

Oh, thanks.

Thanks.

Because it's short.

Oh, yeah.
Well... Thanks.

Carrie was right.

If you looked
in the dictionary
under poor white trash,

a picture
of Early and Adele
would have been there.

But I knew if I was
gonna be a good writer,

I'd have to ignore
the clichés and look at
life through my own eyes.

So, Early...
Yeah?

What do you do?

Well, I do some work
at the, well, I did some
work at the mirror factory.

Know what, Brian?

One night
when we was
staying up late,

we was talking
about how much
bad luck

he must have coming from
all those mirrors he broke,

and I swear,
we came to 449 years

it would
take for him to
work it all off.

And he'd have to, after he died,

he's going to have to
keep coming back to
Earth

over and over and over again.

Karma.

Yeah, karma.

What?

Karma. You know,

when you
do something
bad to someone

and fate pays you back by
something bad happening
to you.

Is that French?

We could stop
somewhere if you and
Adele

haven't had breakfast yet.

Well, it's like this,
Brian. I don't eat breakfast.

It's because of what
he read in this book once,
Brian,

that folks
needing breakfast
is a myth or something,

and it was put out
by the cereal people.

Come on, Ernie. Ernie!

Come on!

No, Ernie, come on.

Down, boy.
Come on, boy.

Jesus Christ.
Who are you?

I'm his parole officer.

Oh, right. I talked
to you on the phone.

What the hell happened?

They say it's a torch job.

That sound like your boy?

Yeah, could be.

Where would I find him?

Hell, I don't know.
Crazy son of a bitch

was talking about moving
down to Texas.

Without his car?

What about the
owner of the house,
this Mr. John Diebold?

You know where
he might be at?
I don't know.

I tell you what,
he's not gonna
be too happy

when he sees this.

Jesus Christ!

Call in!

Early seemed harmless.

Primitive, but harmless.
Homicide down here!

Of course, the fact
of the matter was that
he'd killed his landlord

less than an hour
before we met him.

He was
even wearing
the guy's ring.

Who knows what he
did with the finger?

Here you go, mama.

Oh, thank you, honey.

Yeah.
Look what I got.

I got a camera.

Who gets...
Who gets the water?

Here you go, Bri.
Thanks.

I got a couple bags of
chips and some jerky here.

If you want 'em,
you can just holler.

Just in case.

From
the moment I began
working on the book,

I found myself
asking one question

over and over.

What's the difference
between a killer and
any one of us?

What was it they
had or didn't have that
separated them from us?

The Novaks are long gone,

but the white picket fence
they hired Michael Zaruba
to put up

is still here.

The Novaks...
Hey, you two.

Come on.
Show your love.

The Novaks embraced the
young drifter as one of their
own.

The neighbors said
he was a quiet young
man who was often seen

pushing
the children
on the swing set.

Everything was fine

until the day the Novaks
ran out of work for
Michael to do

and had to ask him to leave.

How does a man
get to the point where he
can kill another human being

in cold blood?

Early, could you move
out of the way, please?

First to die was the
nine-year-old daughter.

Hi, I'm Brian Kessler.

What's your name?

Pa!

Pa, where are you?

Pa,
there's somebody at the
door who wants to see you.

What?
Who is it?

I don't know.

Good afternoon, sir.
I'm sorry to wake you.
My name is Brian Kessler.

I'm a writer.

And I'm working on a book

on some of the
most famous murders
in American history.

I'm sure
you're aware that
this is the Novak farm.

I was just
wondering if maybe my
girlfriend Carrie

could come in and
photograph the place,
take a few pictures,

and I'll walk around
and just take some
little notes.

And we'll be out of
your hair in five,
ten minutes.

Just for a few minutes.
And I could maybe just
walk around the house,

get a feel for it.
Goddamn ghouls.

We drove all day
to get here, sir.

I'd be
out of your hair
in five minutes, sir.

Five minutes.

Brian, come on.

Just forget about it.
Come on.

At the time, I was angry

that
Mr. Baxter slammed
the door in my face.

But it was just
his way of forgetting,

of pretending
that nothing terrible
had ever happened there.

I guess it's only
natural to try and forget
the bad things that happen.

You never really do, though.

Well, we've come
480 miles so far.

Not bad for a day's haul, huh?

Pretty good, buddy.

You got any
family or friends
in California, Early?

Nope. Do you?

You do?

No, I don't.

Do you have any friends
or family in California,
Carrie?

What? Um, no.

No.

Well, that's okay.
Least we all got
each other, right?

I mean, that's something.

My mama used to say
that when you have
people around you,

it's better that you're
not by yourself...

Check?
...because when you're alone,

it's hard to develop
your personality.

And with more people around,
it helps 'cause friends are
really important and...

Thank you.

Thanks, bud.
That's, uh...

We'll get the next one.

We gotta hit the sack.
Let's go, mama.

Have sweet dreams.

Good night, Adele.

Good night, Early.

That's funny.
I didn't know this
about you.

I didn't know you
were so prejudiced.

Oh, please.
Because I object
to having somebody

take off their shoe
and scratch their foot

while I'm eating,
I'm prejudiced?

He can't help the
way he was raised.

I kind of feel sorry for him.

You feel sorry for him?

That's so sweet.

Obviously,
you didn't get
a whiff of that sock.

Bitch, bitch, bitch.

Thirty bucks for a motel.

For what?

A lumpy mattress,
a crummy TV and
a crapper.

I don't think so.

Honey, sing me a song.

Not now, I'm busy, mama.
Stay put.

Please?

Okay,
if you don't sing it,
I'm gonna sing it myself.

Do

Do your balls hang low?
Do they waddle to and fro?

Can you tie 'em in a knot?
Can you tie 'em in a bow?

Can you put 'em
over your shoulder

Like a continental soldier?

Do your balls hang low?
Do your balls hang low?

Honey?

When we
get to California,
are you gonna take me

to that Chinese restaurant
where all them footprints
are out in front?

Only if they let me
put mine down, too.

Pretty smooth how they
stiffed us on dinner,
though.

He didn't stiff us.

He paid for the gas, remember?

Brian, I am telling you...

I am telling you
they are almost broke

and we are gonna end up
paying for the two of them.

Don't change the subject.

It's my favorite subject,
though.

Morning.

Morning, Early.

Breakfast?

No, I don't eat breakfast.
Never do.

Um, sir,
we don't have
a liquor license here

so I'm afraid
you're gonna
have to...

That's okay.
I got plenty more
where this come from.

Morning.
Morning, Adele.

You cut your hair.

Early cut it.

He said
it makes me
look more pretty,

and I think he's right 'cause...

He's right.

Nice job, Early.

You like to
order some breakfast?

No. I won't
be having breakfast
this morning, thank you.

Want some of this?

Finish it.
Thanks.

What you reading?

Sex, Art, and
the American Culture.

I never read that one.

I can't wait
to get on the road.
I love that convertible.

Yeah, it's great.

'Cause I like wind, Brian.

So do I.

Do you want me
to get your stuff?

No, thanks, Early.
I can manage.

I meant to say luggage, ma'am.

I got 'em.

Hi, honey.

Mama.

When you dream,
there are no rules.

People can fly.

Anything can happen.

Sometimes,

there's a moment
as you're waking

when you become aware
of the real world
around you,

but you're still dreaming.

You may think you can fly,
but you better not try it.

Serial killers live their
whole lives in that place,

somewhere between dreams

and reality.

Guess it's your
turn to pay, Early.

Hey, move it.

Move it, you son of a bitch.

You know, I used
to smoke before
I met Early,

but he broke me of that.

Broke you?

Oh, yeah,
'cause Early,
he don't think

that women should
smoke or drink
or cuss.

So you know what I do?

I spell all my cuss words.

S... Ouch.

S-h... Ouch, owie.

S-h-i-t!

But you don't do any
of those other things?

Mmm, no.

I mean, I better not.

He whips you?

No. No, no. Only
when I deserve it.

You were in there a long time.

Yeah, I took a dump.

Boy,
you don't want
to go in there.

It's wall-to-wall stink.
It'll kill you.

Just going in
to wash my hands.
Ain't got no sink.

No sink?

Nope. Damnedest
thing I ever seen.

Let's go.

How about I drive, bud?

No, mama.
Get in the back.

$28.35, sir.

How much?
$28.35.

Hope I got that.

Make it an even $30.
Thank you, sir.

Yeah.

When you first meet people,

all you notice
are the differences
between you and them.

But as time passes,
you start noticing
the similarities.

I guess that's how
all friendships begin.

- Okay, so you first.
- You put down a card

and then I put down a card.

And then when they match up,

um, and it's the same card,

then you go, "Snap,"
and I take it,

and I take
the cards that's
there, and like that.

Snap.

I thought you
said you never
played this before.

I haven't.
I really haven't.

I'm a fast learner, I guess.

I was reading in your deal there

how they never caught
that Black Dolya killer.

Black Dahlia.
Yeah.

They didn't.

Well, I was wondering, how come?

See what I'm getting at?

It's like, hmm.

Well,
some people think that
he just stopped killing

and disappeared
back into society.

That's
fine and dandy,
but I want to know

what a smart fella
like yourself thinks.

I always thought it was
the work of a serial killer.

You know, anybody who
took that much time
and care

bisecting another human being...

Bisecting?
You know, he cut 'em in two.

Oh, he hacked 'em up?

Two pieces.
Yeah, in half.

That ain't right.

Anybody who did that
must have been enjoying it.

And he would have done it
again and again and again

until somebody stopped him.
Yeah, yeah.

That's good.

That's a good theory, Brian.

You want to hear mine?

Sure.

Okay.

Well, ain't you gonna record it?

Early Grayce's
Black Dahlia theory.

June 23rd.

Okay,
now, I'm betting
he's still alive,

real old, living
in a trailer park or
something, somewheres,

but he's alive, see?

Now, he's thinking
about what he done,

going over it and over it
and over it in his head
every night,

figuring how smart
he is for getting
away with it.

That's possible.

Hey, you shoot pool?

Hey!

Hey!

Come on, bud.

Designated driver.

Minnesota Fats.

Don't forget your key.

Why did I open my big mouth?

I don't know.
Please come home soon.

Mmm-hmm.
Mmm-hmm.

Let's go!

Jesus, bud,
you damn near
swallowed her.

So why didn't you
go with them, Adele?

Um, 'cause...

You know how, um,
Early feels about
women drinking.

So how did you and
Early meet, anyways?

Oh, um...

I was hitchhiking this one day.

And, um, Early stopped,

and I walked up to
look in the window

and I looked in,

and Early's face...
He was down like that

'cause
he was serious
and then he said,

"You gettin' in?"

And, um...

And, um, and then,

he looked up and that's
when I saw his eyes.

And I swear, Carrie,
he has the eyes
of an angel.

And then I just...

I ended up moving in
his trailer with him

'cause I thought
it'd be kind of neat.

But, um...

Know what?

I was thinking that
what if me, you and
Brian and Early

all moved into a house
together in California.

Wouldn't that be fun?

Oh.

Well, I mean,

well, we'll see what happens.

You never know.

Okay.

Do you want me to
fix your hair for you?

Yes.

'Cause, um,

I don't really
like it that much.

Come on then.

Okay.

It doesn't look that bad,
but I think we should
fix it.

I'm betting we gonna
find us some doors
around here.

Yeah, the door's out
front on the street.

Not "doors."

No?
Doors, bud.

Uh, opens to other dimensions.

Oh.

See, I read, bud.

Ah?

And I'm telling you,
if a man knows what
he's doin',

he can transport
himself to anywhere in
this goddamn universe.

Really?
Didn't know that, did you?

No, I didn't.

I think
I should tell you, I'm
not much of a pool player.

Oh, it ain't hard.

I can teach you.

Really?
Yeah.

Spot you a few balls
for the first game,
too.

You're not gonna
hustle me, are you?

How much money you got?

What's that?

That's a portfolio of my
work, that's what that is.

Your pictures?
Can I look at 'em?

Yep, go right ahead.

Oh, my Lord.

Did you take this one?

I took all of those.

Yeah, that one's me.

No, it isn't.

Mmm-hmm.
Hold still, you.

Oh, I'm sorry.

My God, Carrie.

If Early ever saw me
in a picture like that,

I'd be black
and blue for
a week.

You shouldn't let
him do that to you.

You think Early's mean to me?

Ha.

Well, he's not.

He may punish
me once in a while,

but he's not mean.

Um...

When I was 13, um,

there were these three boys,

and, um, they raped me
in the back of this
truck, and...

And, um...

They hurt me so bad that

I was in the hospital
for, like, four months.

And I feel safe
with Early 'cause

most of the time,
he treats me really nice.

And, um...

I know that he'd never...

He would never
let anything like that
ever happen to me again.

I like my hair.

You did a really
good job, Carrie.

It's, um, really professional.

Hey, Marnie!
Come here, baby.

Why don't you and me
get together tonight
and sweat it up some?

Fuck off, T.J.

Hey!

There you go.
That'll be five bucks.

Wait a minute, wait.
These aren't Lucky Lager.

We ordered Lucky Lager.

Take a look around you.

If you see something
lucky around here,
you let me know.

What don't you tell me
what you think is so funny?

What?

You think I'm funny?
No.

Tell me
what would a jizz-gargling,
cum-drunk fairy like you do

with
a pretty girl
like that anyway?

What are you talking
about, man? Just relax.

Hit him, Bri,
'cause he's coming.

What was that?
Is this your boyfriend?

No, he's not
my boyfriend.
Just cool it.

Your boyfriend, faggot?

Why don't you just cool it, man?

Hey, asshole!

This ain't Lucky Lager!

- Break it up!
- Break it up!

Wasn't that guy's
fault. T.J. started it.

Dipshit!

Rack 'em up.

'Cause your pink
replaces your red

My mama's a beautician.

Really?
Yeah. She likes pink a lot.

You should have seen her face.

She was mad when
she first found out

I was with Early
on account of him

just getting out
of jail and all.

She hasn't talked to
me in over a year now.

I wish she'd call me, Carrie.

Early's been in jail?

Uh-huh.

What for?

For carrying a gun.

And resisting arrest.

It's a really interesting
story, actually.

He put up a fight
with the policeman,

and they struggled because
he didn't want to be arrested.

I'd have done the same thing.

Why aren't you laughing now?

I don't know.
I just don't
think that

carrying
guns and resisting
arrest is very funny.

Just try and love me if you can

Are you strong enough...

Well, I'm going to go
back to my hotel room
now, Carrie.

I had a really
great time with you.

I just think
I had too many beers.

And I wasn't even supposed
to be drinking in the
first place.

Adele, you don't have to go.
I didn't mean...

Great.

Look at this dipshit.

Hey, watch it, asshole!

Fuck you!

Get him, Bri! Tear him up.

Oh, I gotta see
a man about a mule.

What?

Take a piss.

Hey, see if there's
any reebs in the backseat.

What?

Uh, reebs... Beers.

That's what we
used to call 'em
when we were kids.

That's beer spelled backwards.

Shit.
I think I chipped
the concrete, Bri.

Last one.

I want you to have it for
saving my ass back there.
Go on, take it.

Aw, it ain't nothing.

I'd take
that big Yankee
mother there and go,

"By God,
I'm uglier
than you are."

Ha!

Come on!

Thank you.

How long you had
your woman, bud?

Uh, three years.

Yeah? She's a good one.
She's a breeder, you dog.

I'll tell her you said
she's a breeder.

She'll like that.
I'll tell her you said that.

Can I get a hork off that, bud?

You remember them doors?

Them doors I was
talking about, Bri?

I got me
a couple of them...
Found me a couple of them

in Kentucky.

Hell, I wasn't even
looking for the
first one.

I was on the
side of the road,
swinging my sickle.

I turn around

and
there's this door,
this big old door,

and light's coming out,
blinding me,

real gold.

And I'm thinking,
"This can't be.
This can't be."

So, I close my eyes,

and I count one, I count two,

I count three,
I count four, five.

And I open my eyes.

Wasn't there.

Ha!

Come on.

Am I late?

I'm sorry.

Early and me, we...

We got into a fight
in this bar, and...

I'm fine, though.

It was me and him
against, like, 30 guys.

You know, you and I,
we got to talk about
your good buddy Early.

Who said he's my good buddy?

You sure been actin'
like you are,

out whoopin' it up and
drinkin' and everything.

You've been drinking too.
Come on.

Oh, yeah, right.

You should have seen
how scared she was that
he was going to find out.

He beats her, you know.

How do you know that?

Because she told me,
that's how I know that.

Hmm.

I got to see a man about a mule.

But only when she deserves it.

Did you happen to know
that he was in jail?

Yeah. Yeah,
for stealing a car.

Really?
Is that what he
told you?

He told her it was
for carrying a gun.

Brian, it could be for
murder for all we know.

Will you stop being
so fucking melodramatic?

Melodramatic?

If it was murder,

he'd still be in jail.

Or he'd be on parole.

In which case, he wouldn't
be allowed to leave the
state.

Maybe he wasn't allowed
to leave the state.

Did you ever stop
to think about that?

Oh, okay, we'll get the keys,

we'll get in the car
and we'll sneak out of
here and leave them.

Is that what you want?
What is the matter with you?

Can we talk about this
in the morning when
the room isn't spinning?

So how are you
feeling now, Brian?

Mmm.

Does your stomach feel
kind of like it's, um,

in these knots and it's twisty

and you could
just explode at
any given moment?

Mmm.

Well,
um, my daddy, he used
to make this great drink

for, um, hangovers,

and he'd make a blend
of sauerkraut juice
and Tabasco sauce...

Goddamn!
You see that woman?

She is butt ugly.

And he'd put in, um,
a little bit of lemon...

Pair of titties!

...for the tartness.

And then the last
ingredient, Brian...
Morning.

...this was the best one,
was an egg

so that he could have
breakfast and get rid of his
hangover all in the same time.

Hey, shave that dog!
Teach it to hunt!

Huh?

Early lived in the moment.

He did
whatever he wanted,
whenever he wanted.

It was that simple.

I don't know
if I was fascinated
or frightened by him.

Probably both.

Okay, what shall I call you?

I can't call you Lucy.
Lucy's gone.

I'll call you Shelly.

Hi, Shelly.

I know you're thirsty.

Ow... Wee!

What? What's going on?

Look.
What?

Look!

The only thing my old man
ever give me was this
goddamn.45.

Ha, ha! Japanese,
but it's pretty good.

Go on, shoot it.
No, I never did this.

Go on, take it. Shoot it.
I don't know how to do it.

Yeah, you can do it.

I haven't...

Go on and shoot the dang thing.

No, bud.

You're jerking it.
You're all like this.

You gotta hold it
soft like your pecker.

Okay?

Boys'll be boys.

You know any tricks, Carrie?

No.

Now, hold on.
Hold on.

You want to learn some?

No.
Aim.

Okay, loosen up.
Loosen your elbow.

Breathe.
You gotta breathe, bud.

Hold it.

Shoot!

Whoo! Hey...
Ah! Good one.

You look good with a gun, Brian.

That's a good one, bud.
That's super. Good one.

You like that gun, Bri?
I'm gonna give it to you.

I want you to have it.
I don't need a gun.

No, go on, take it.

I can get me another one.

You never
know, in California,
all them cuckoo heads.

You best hold on to it.

Now, give another shot,
you mean boy.

Go on.
Shoot that damn thing.

Ha, ha!

That's super!
That's some
super shootin'.

Look at that.

If you ever plan to motor west

Take my way

The highway that's the best

Get your kicks

On route 66

It winds from Chicago to LA

Ha, ha, ha!

I think we're gonna
sit this one out, bud,

if that's to your satisfication.

Fine.

Ha, ha, ha!

Honey!
Ha!

Honey...

Ha, ha! If you need
some help, bud, you
just holler.

I'll be there.

Ha, ha!

Shit.

What is that?

A copy of the tape they found.

He recorded everything.

Where...
Where am I?

I've got to get... Mister,
can... Can you help me?

His mother had him
working in here...

What's going on here?

...before he was
eight years old,

killing animals
with a sledge hammer
that was bigger than he was.

Look, can...
Can you get me
out of here, please?

Um...

Look, I don't know who you are.

I don't know
what you want with me,

but please just let me go, okay?

When she was pissed at him...

What are you doing?

...she'd beat
the shit out of him,

then lock him in here overnight.

My... My parents,
they have money.
I'll give you money

if that's what...
If that's what you want,
please. Oh God, please!

One morning...

Oh, God! Oh, no.

...the little
boy wakes up,

picks up the sledge hammer...

What are you
gonna do with that thing?

...and starts
hurting back.

No! God! No!
Oh, God, no!
Oh, God!

How does he get from...

What are you doing?

I'm finished.

I know you're upset
about the gun.

I am not upset about the gun!

Yeah, I am
upset about the gun,
but that is not it...

God!
Can we please
turn this off?

God damn it,
what is going on here?

A week ago you would
never have picked up
that gun! Never!

And this afternoon,
there you are,

you're out there
wielding it like...

Like you're
Clyde-fucking-Barrow
or something.

What is going on with you?
Would you please talk to me?

It was stupid.

It was a cheap thrill,
I admit it. It was stupid.

It was just
"bang bang," like kids.

Okay?

But I need you to
take these photos.

We need them.
I don't want to blow it.

Oh, the pictures...
Okay?

The book.

God,
that really is all that
matters to you, isn't it?

That really is all
you care about,
isn't it?

God,
I cannot believe
I agreed to do this!

That is such crap.

You know
you wanted to come
here and take these photos

every bit as much
as I wanted you to.

Wrong.

Wrong!

I was willing to
do whatever it took to
get you off of your ass

and us on our
way to California and
there's a big difference!

Early.

What?

Ah! Early.

Ow.

Ow, Early.

Wait.

Ah! Jesus Christ.
Sorry.

I'm sorry.

I want him out of our car.

Why? What happened?

I want him
out of our car.
What happened?

Next gas station,
it's either him or me.
It's up to you.

...hundreds of acres
and forced 70 people

to evacuate their homes
was originally thought
to have been arson...

Yeah, can I
get a carton
of Victory Kings

and $20 worth of gas
in the car? Thanks.

Their names
have not been released
and no criminal charges...

Here's your change.
Thanks.

In other news...

Looks like a bad one's
coming in.

Y'all better be
careful out there.

Where are you headed?

California.

California.
I hear it never
rains out there, huh?

Must be nice.

Oh!

Hi, Carrie.

I have to go to the bathroom.

...fatal
stabbing and robbery
of Joseph Davies Robbins

at this East Texas gas station.

He is armed and dangerous.

If you see this man,
please don't...

...an ex...

...with a history of
arrests is still at large.

Grayce is 25 years old,
5" 11', with long brown hair.

He has a tattoo on his left arm.

He was last seen in
East Texas at a gas
station...

I ain't ridin' no bus, bitch.

He is believed to be
responsible for
the murder of his landlord,

John Diebold
of Nassau County.
Oh!

The murder occurred
last Tuesday.

We would like to repeat.
There is a nationwide...

Sit down!
...manhunt for Early Grayce.

I knew that boy would
have a hogleg here
somewhere.

Not a word.

Hello!
Get over here, skinny.
Sit your ass in that corner.

Come on!

Honey, what are you doin'?

They gave us the boot, mama.

Get out there and
keep Brian busy. I don't
want him comin' in here.

Honey, but
you're scaring...
Right now, missy. Git!

Hi.
Hi.

Um, I'm just getting my things
and then I'm going to leave,
Brian.

What's your name, boy?

Walter Livesy.

Well, I think I got
to kill you, Walter.

How you feel about that?

Not so good.

You're sure you have to?

Don't know.
Wish I did.

Early, please. Please...
Shut up!

God damn it!

Tryin' to have
a conversation
with Walter!

Sorry about that, Walt.

Hey.

Don't forget your yo-yo.

Listen, Adele,
I just want you to know

that you not coming
with us has nothing
to do with you guys.

It's something
between Carrie
and me.

Where are you from?

Uh, Vernon, Florida.

Don't know it.
Any huntin'?

Turkey sometimes.

Huh.

Yeah, turkeys are real smart,

smarter than most people think.

Tell you what, Walter.
I want you down on
your belly.

Get on your belly.

I want you
to stay there for
a long time after we leave.

We got a deal, son?

Yeah. Yes, sir.
Yeah? Okay.

Do you mind if I hold on
to that Bible over there?

What you want with
the Bible, Walter?
Huh?

He thinks I'm gonna kill him.

Now that'd make me
a liar, wouldn't it?

No, sir.
No?

There you go, Walter.

Hey, look.

Wonder if Adele would like...

What was that?
Oh, my God.

Nothing, Brian.
It was just the thunder.

No!

Hey, Early?

Oh, my God.
What the fuck are you doing?

Oh,
you're gonna like this
one, Bri. Get in there.

Get on in there
with your big fella.

Baby, drive.

What are you doing?
Come on!

Come on, buddy.
Let's go.

Oh!

You all right?
What happened?

Get us out of here, mama.

Oh, she'll be all right.

What happened?

He shot him in the head.

No!
He shot him in the head!

No! No! No, he didn't!
He shot somebody?

Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Everybody just shut up.

Goddamn.
Bunch of squawking hens.

Nothing's changed.

I'm going to get you
there safe, to California.

If Adele don't kill us
with her drivin' first.
Ha, ha!

Early!

Early.

What did you get us?

I got Chinese food.

What is it?

The guy, he didn't speak
too good of English, really,

so I just got what they had.

Smells like butt.
You get the beer?

What is this, cheap beer?

God damn it, Adele.

Well...

Give this one to
what's-her-name.

Come over here, bud,
and get you some grub.

I don't know what the
hell Chinamen are doing in
the American desert anyhow.

Adele, where are
the forks and spoons?

Is it just me,
or has this whole
trip gone downhill

since we ran out of Lucky Lager?

Wish I had me some chili beans.

How many people
have you killed, Early?

Well, now,
how many people
you see me kill, Bri?

None.

Well, that's how many I killed.

If you say so.

Damn right I do!

You shut up!
Eat your food.

You ain't never killed
no one, have you, Bri?

No.
Nope.

Ain't seen
nobody killed,
either, have you?

No, I haven't.
No.

Well, tell me something,
big time.

How the hell you gonna write
a book about something you
don't know nothing about?

Mama, sing us a song, somethin'.

Um... Um...

Um...

I wish

Carrie was happy

I wish

She would smile

You guys want
your picture taken?

Come on, Carrie. Smile.

He was breathing when
I walked out of there.

See, Carrie? It's okay.
He was breathing.

Ain't we gettin' near
the next murder site,
Bri?

Forget about it.
It doesn't matter anymore.

Hell if it don't!
Give me that map.

Someday, me and Adele,
we'll be walking along,

we'll see your book
in some store window.

We're gonna buy it and
put it on our coffee table.

Ain't that right, mama?

Okay, let's go
have us a look,
people.

Early, I'm just
going to stay here.

You don't want
to go, mama? No?

Well, all right,
you watch Carrie.

I'll take the pictures, Bri.

You run and Bri gets it.

Karma.

Lead the way, bud.

So, uh...

What happened here?

Two brothers,
prospectors,
lived here in the '70s.

Yeah, so?

They picked up hitchhikers,
young men, and brought
them back here.

Hey, Bri?

This ain't
gonna give me
nightmares, now, is it?

Wait, get out of the way.

This one's called
"walk the dog."

My favorite one is
"rock the cradle."

They were asked just
before they were executed
why they did it,

and they said,
"To be famous."

Why did you do it, Early?

Do what, Bri?

You didn't have to kill
the gas station attendant.

Uh... Move
a little to the left.

You wanted to.

Why?

Help me out, Early.
You're right.

I don't know shit about killing.

You gotta tell me.

Does it make you feel good?

Huh?

Powerful?
Huh?

Superior?
Huh?

What?

Who are you angry with?

Your mother?

Your father?

You want to know
about my daddy,
do you?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.
I'll tell you
about my daddy.

Adele, you gotta
help us out here.

You got
to talk to Early
because he's sick.

He needs...
He needs some sort of help.

Carrie, you're messing up
my trick!

Adele, listen to me!
Please!

Adele.

The police are after him.
He killed a man back there!

No, Carrie.
That ain't true.

I saw him kill a man!

Nah, Carrie.
That ain't true.

Adele, come on, I'm your friend.

Why would I lie about
something like this?

Why the hell would I lie
about something like this?

I know you know!

I don't know why
you're saying this.

Why would I lie?

He said he didn't do it,
and you ain't my friend!

You're on private property,
ladies.

I'd like to see some
kind of identification.

No, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Carrie.

Please don't say anything.

We've got a match!
I'm calling for backup!

Please, please.
Don't say anything.

All right, ladies!

I'd like both of you
to step slowly away
from the car!

Oh!

- No! No!
- No, Early!

Brian!

6-Adam-5,
please confirm your
location. Over.

No, Early!

6-Adam-5, please
confirm your location.
Do you request backup? Over.

God!

Brian!

Got 'em both on the dead run.

No, no, no, no, Early!

Oh, come on, mama.

Tell me that don't hurt.

Shoot him.
What?

You gotta put
that crippled dog
out of his misery.

You wanna
know about it,
you gotta do it, son.

Shoot him.

Come on, lay it on in there.

Come on, mean boy.

Come on, mean boy, do it!

Oh, God!
Shoot him!

Shoot the dog!
Shoot the dog!
Shoot him.

It's him or you, boy!

Shoot him! Come on!

Go! Go, mean boy.

I can't.

Pushy faggot.

Look at his face!

Look at his face.
It's not your father.
Look at him!

I know that, you idiot.

That there is a police in
a world of hurt and this
here is a mercy killing.

Oh, God.

Let's hit the road.

Not even a simple
"thank you."

Thank you.

Thank you for what, Adele?

I don't know, Early.

Well, Adele,
it is for saving your
fucking life back there!

Goddamn! You were
about this close, mama,

from spending a night
in a county morgue.

He wasn't gonna shoot her,
you murdering son of a bitch!

Stop it, Carrie.

What are you,
fucking insane?
Shut up!

He's a murderer!
Shut up, Carrie!

Goddamn bunch of loonies.

Look, mama,
there's a pretty house.

Maybe they got some beer.

Look at all the cactuses.

They're beautiful.

You know what makes
cactuses so strong?

You could just leave 'em and
forget about 'em forever and
they'd still live.

They'd just keep on
growing and growing...

Adele, we got
to do something before
Early kills somebody else.

...and they breathe.

Adele, will you listen to me?

You can't do nothing, Brian.
Just sit still.

Adele.

You have beautiful
cactuses, ma'am.

I just love them.

My mama had a garden,

and, um, I had this
little baby cactus.

And I was going to
take it and plant it.

You gotta talk to Adele.

She looks up to you.
She'll listen to you.

I tried talking
to her at the mine.
It didn't work.

You try again.

Hey, Bri.

Do you ever stop and think

if you switch two
letters in your name,

it'd spell, uh, brain?

Huh?

Boy, you got a problem.

God damn it,
what's wrong
with grandma?

Where's your husband?

I'm a widow.

Yeah?

Is that you, peaches?

Sweetheart, hey,
come on over here.

It's so clear
you can't believe it.

It's just amazing.

Come on over and look.
Take a look, honey.

I want you to see this, peaches.

Peaches?

Early!

Early.

Um, um...

Um...

Guess what, Early?

Um, Miss Musgrave,

she has this guesthouse
in the back,

and it's
really beautiful
and it's empty, hon.

And she said if me
and you wanted to, honey...

Hank!

Hank!

Well,

you're a widow now, peaches.

Boring.

Boring.

Dogshit.

That don't leave much
to the imagination,
now does it?

Boring.

I know him.

That's my daddy.

Fucker.

Boring.

You're not gonna die.

That's you, ain't it?

Yeah, that's me.

Do you like it?
What do you think?

Dogshit.

You can go now.

Call me.

You ought to control
your woman, boy.

Stinky.

Stinky.

Well, lucky for you
they take all kinds
in California.

That's where we'll be tomorrow.

California.

Adele!

Mama!

Those are stupid.

Adele!

God damn it!

Peaches!

Peaches!

Peaches!

Stop! Stop it, Early!

Stop it!

What are you doing?

I'm gonna get the piano up.

Try and slide your hands under.

Mama, what are you...

What are you...

What are you crying for?
I'm the one got hit.

'Cause I decided, Early.

I'm not going to climb up
that Hollywood sign with you.

And why not?

You're mean, Early!

No, I'm not.

You hurt those people, Early!

I don't want to do it with you!

I loved you, Early.

You just be quiet.
You are mean.

Run! Go!

No! I'm not
leaving you here!

Go! Go!

Adele!

Shut up!
Adele!

Shut up!
Adele!

Shut up!

Looks like I need me
a new woman.

No! Not him!

Shut up!

Jesus.

Oh!
Oh, God, Early,
I'll do anything.

I'll go with you.
Please!

Please don't kill him.
Oh, God, I'll do anything.

Oh, please don't kill him.

Oh, mama, we got
to find us a door,

save us some time.
Goddamn, that's
a super dress.

Yeah, that's just super.

Shit.

Oh!
I didn't think
he left anyone alive.

Where's Carrie?

They took off down the road.

Watch your head.

Okay.

Grab that chair.

I'm going to
lift the piano.
Slide it under.

He pulled out
all the phone lines.

The nearest one
is 21 miles away.

They took the fire road west.

Take your car,
and get to that phone.

Call the police.

Shit!

Get up there!

Well, how y'all doing?

I'm Early.
This is my
woman, Carrie.

We're sorry to
inconvenience
y'all like this,

but, well, it looks like
we'll be staying the night.

Ah! Don't you move,

you Pinocchio-looking
knuckleheads!

Oh!

No!

No, no, no!

Oh.

Door.

Where you been?

Got a transport.
Transport.

Carrie!

Carrie!

Carrie! Carrie!

Motherfucker!

Uh! Bri came back.

Hey, Bri,

you want to ask
me some questions?

Ask me some questions.

Come on.

Do I feel powerful?
Do I feel superior?

Yeah.

All right.

I feel good.

Bri, you're bleedin'.

Bri, you're bleedin'.

'Cause I'm as free as a bird

Ah! Skynyrd.

Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I like that one.

Uh, Bri?

Bri?

Bri!

The keys.

They're around his neck.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, haa!

Ha, ha, haa!

Ha, ha...

I'll never know
why Early Grayce became
a killer.

I don't know why any of them do.

When I looked into his eyes,

I felt nothing.

Nothing.

That day I learned that
any one of us is capable
of taking another human life,

but I also learned that
there is a difference
between us and them.

It's in feeling remorse,

dealing with guilt,

and confronting your conscience.

Early never did.

June 22nd.
The Novak farm.

Mr. Baxter slammed
the door in my face today,
calling me a goddamn ghoul.

I'm betting he's still alive,

real old, living
in a trailer park or
something, somewheres,

but he's alive, see?

Now, he's thinking
about what he done,

going over it and over it
and over it in his head
every night,

figuring how smart
he is for getting
away with it.

Thank you.

Hey. How's it going?

Not bad.
How was your swim?

It's freezing.

It's November.

I know.

There's, um,
this gallery in Venice,

and I showed them my
work, the icon series.

I think they're interested.

That's great.

Well,
it's not definite,
but it's encouraging.

Well, let's celebrate.
I'll take you to lunch.

Okay.

So what happens next?

Well, I have a meeting
at the gallery on Thursday,

and they want to see
some more of my work.

I'm sure they're
going to love it
as much as I do.

Hi. Guess who this is.

It's me. It's Adele.

Um, I know I'm probably not
supposed to be talking on
the tape recorder,

but I just wanted
to say thank you

for taking me and Early
with you on your trip,

'cause me and Early's
having a really good time,

and, um, I just hope
that when we get
to California,

that you guys don't
forget all about us,

because friends are important,

and, well, you're
the only friends
we got.

Bye.

If I believed

That destiny

Would change the hands of fate

I'd believe forever

Was a lonely place to wait

I can see inside your eyes

Mirror soul cannot tell lies

I believe

Like I believe

Miracles and destiny

You make your own reality

I know

When I

Look up to the sky

There's angels

In the clouds

At night you can see their eyes

See those stars

Lookin' down on me

How I feel at the thought of you

Leaves me with

Nothin' to hide

'Cause when I'm laying

Next to you

Naked with my pride

I can see inside your eyes

Mirror soul cannot tell lies

I believe

Like I believe

Miracles and destiny

You make your own reality

I know

When I

Look up to the sky

There's angels

In the clouds

At night you can see their eyes

See the stars

Lookin' down

Lookin' down

Lookin' down, down

Lookin' down
