(Mrs. Rodriguez)
After 20 years of payment,
Mr. Fender,

this can't be!

Considering
the circumstances,

I think the death benefit
is more than generous.

But we only missed
a couple of payments
toward the end!

You know, a lawyer
could probably get you
a bigger settlement.

But in the long run,
he's gonna cost you.

After the policyholder's
Paramed came back clean,

he signed up
for a Preferred Best Rate.

Essentially,
this means we lowered
his monthly premiums,

because he didn't drink,
and he didn't smoke.

Now, if I can just draw
your attention

to the highlighted
section right here.

But Hector,
he quit the smoking
years ago.

Perhaps you would turn
and look at the screen
behind you.

(Frank)
As you can see,

the policyholder
was not exactly honest
with you.

You spied
on my husband?

You bastard!

I'm afraid that
I'm gonna have to take
this check back.

But you can't!
You just gave it to me!

[sighs]

(Frank)
No,

maybe not.

Maybe if I told them

that you had
already accepted it.

[Mugison sings
Little Trip to Heaven]

¶ Little trip to heaven ¶

¶ On the wings
Of your love ¶

¶ Banana moon
Is shining in the sky ¶

¶ Feel like I'm in Heaven
When you're with me ¶

¶ Know that I'm in Heaven
When you smile ¶

¶ Though we're stuck here
On the ground ¶

¶ I've got something
That I found ¶

¶ And it's you ¶

¶ You're my North Star ¶

¶ When I'm lost
And feeling blue ¶

¶ The sun is breaking
Through the clouds ¶

¶ Don't you know,
Know it's true ¶

¶ Honey, all the other stars
Seem dim around you ¶

¶ I'm thanking my lucky stars
That I've found you ¶

¶ When I see
Your smiling face ¶

¶ I know nothing's
Gonna take your place ¶

¶ And it's you ¶

[Mugison sings
Murr Murr]

¶ I'd shout
like that old fly ¶

(Josie)
What are you drinking, sugar?

(long-haired man)
Give me a Bud.

You gonna need
a room?

No.
Just passing through.

Well, ain't that
a crying shame.

You want
another shot, honey?

On the house.

Not tonight, hon.
'Night.

[gags and spits]

[music]

[engine starts]

Shit!

(long-haired man)
Thanks, man.

[motor speeds up]

[tires screech]

Whoa! Uh--

Do I know you?

It's pretty slick
out there. You really
should slow down.

[tires screech]

What the--?

It's stuck.
The belt's stuck!

Slow down
and stop the car!
Let me out!

Hey!

(long-haired man)
Ahhh!!!

[ambulance and police sirens]

[honking]

[rain pouring]

[groans]

[groans and heaves]

[laboured breathing]

No. No!

(long-haired man)
Oh. Oh.

[screams of agony]

[scream]

[excited voices]

[knocks]

Thanks.

All right, then.

Now,

I've originally guessed
that about half of you

climbed aboard this bus
after the accident.

You all know
that this Huntsville
community bus

is owned by the city.

And you're thinking
that the city

might pay
out big bucks.

A nice juicy settlement
if you were to file
a medical claim.

Well, I'm here
to tell you

that you're breaking
the law.

In the past,
you could get away
with this for sure.

But what
you might not know,

is that behind that mirror
is a video camera.

You all
have been videotaped.

Now, I'm gonna sit
right here,

I'm gonna close
my eyes,

and I'm gonna
count to ten.

I strongly advise those of you
who would like to remain
free citizens to leave

before I get
to the count of nine.

One,

two,

three,

four,

five,

six,

seven,

eight,

nine,

ten.

Did you give them
the video speech?

The city ought to install
those things.

It'd make our jobs
a hell of a lot easier.

I've got a doozy
for you,

up in North Hastings.

Our contact down at
the Police Department,

he heard that a guy
named Kelvin Anderson
died in the car accident.

There's a woman
named Isold,

his sole beneficiary,
Kelvin's sister.

Kelvin busted out of prison
a few years back,
nobody's seen him since.

Until now.

Who the hell
insured a con man

with a million dollar
death benefit?

One of our bureaus
down south.

He did it before
he went to prison.

You want it, then?

North Hastings?

It's a couple hours.

Come on,
the drive
will do you good.

Can't this wait
till Monday?

Actually, Weaver called ahead,
and the local yokels
are kinda expecting you.

He's a big scam
artist, Abe.

Weaver wants you
to get on it right away.

A weekend
in Hastings.

You're the man, Abe.

Yeah, I'm the man
with no wife
and no kids.

Geez, Frank.

It's a lot of
money, Abe.

Make sure this guy
is really dead.

And if he is dead,

dig up some dirt
on him.

About time
you got here.

[music]

Hello, fella!

Hi.

Name's William.
My son, Russle.

Hey.
Abe Holt.

Nice to
meet you.

How was
the drive?

Long.

(William)
The car is registered
to one Kelvin Anderson.

(Russle)
Which came
as quite a surprise.

(Abe)
How's that?

At first, we thought
it was Fred's Malibu.

Fred?

Fred McBride.
He's married to Isold.

(Abe)
They, uh, drive
the same car.

(William)
We ran the plates,
checked the VIN number,

it all checks out.

We also found
Kelvin's driver's license
in the glove box.

Oh, yeah?

(Russle)
Yeah. Poor sap.
Burned to a crisp.

(William)
He must have
been drunk.

Let's hope so,
for his sake.

Great, we can nail him
for drunk driving.

That'll teach him
a lesson.

What's on
the other side?

(William)
His sister, Isold.

(Russle)
I reckon he came to hide
out with her.

You fellas
know Kelvin?

No, they're not
from around here.

Oh.

What do you think?

You gonna have to pay
out on this one?

Yeah.
Looks like that.

How much
you reckon to lose?

A lot.

The death benefit's
worth a million dollars.

Death benefit.

Damn!
A million bucks?

Who gets
all that money?

Isold's the sole
beneficiary of this.

Shit! Fred's gonna
be drunk for a decade.

Yeah, it's like
you hit the jackpot.

It came at
a pretty high price.

She lost
her brother.

Some might say that.
Yeah.

Let's get the hell
out of here.

When are you gonna break
the news to the sister?

You're in a hell
of a rush.

How about we ID the body
before we start
upsetting people?

[music]

[engine stops]

[door creaks open]

[door creaks open]

[shout]

Oh, geez!

No! Sorry!

Can I talk to you?

Oh, geez.

Hello.

Sorry, I didn't mean
to scare you.

Well, you sure did.

Uh,

there's been
an accident.

An accident?
No, no, it's just
that time of the month.

No, I mean by the tunnel,
there was a car wreck.

Was anybody hurt?

Were you expecting
anybody last night?

No. Why?

Oh, I, uh,
I was just trying
to establish a time

and if you
were expecting--

No, I mean,
why would I
be expecting somebody?

Are you a cop?

I'm Abe Holt,
nice to meet you.

Who was in the car?

We haven't IDed
the body yet.

My husband's asleep inside,
do you want me
to wake him up?

No, no,
that's OK.

You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure,
I, uh,

are you
gonna be okay?

Yeah.

Okay.

It was nice
to meet you.

Jesus!

You scared me,
little fellow.

Where you going?

Me? I'm going
to town.

Can I come, too?

You? You want
a ride to town?

(female voice)
Thor! Breakfast!

Your mom's calling.

How long does it take
to get to Heaven?

Do cats get to go?

You gotta go.
Here, go.

Jesus!

What's the verdict?

Death.

He was frozen
by fire.

For all I know,
this could've been
the devil's grandmother.

What about
dental records?

You serious?

Are there
any broken bones?

He crashed
into a tunnel.
He broke--

I mean, before.

Before what?

Like when
he was younger.

I'm not
his family doctor.

Can't you take
some X-rays?

With what?

Oh!

[click]

(Abe)
What do you two know
about this, uh, Fred?

Fred?
Why?

They moved here
a while ago.

Why you so interested
in Fred?

You heard
what the doctor said.

The body
could be anybody.

Body?

Okay, you're saying
it's not Kelvin.

Well, who do
you think it is?

Are you saying
it's Fred?

How?

It's Kelvin's car.
We found
his driver's license.

Yeah. Exactly.

Wait...then how the hell
did Fred end up dead
in Kelvin's car?

Kelvin.

Kelvin?

Well, that means
Isold must be in on it?

Somebody's got
to collect the money.

So where's Kelvin,
then?

That's downright crazy.

Is it?

A broken arm can
bring in about $20,000.

A leg, well,

it all depends
on where it's broken.

Above or below
the knee.

Nyah!

[screaming]

(Abe)
The big money...

well, that all comes
if you up and die.

[music]

Can I help you?
Oh, hi.

(William)
Hello, Isold.

This is Abe Holt,
he's--

I'm an investigator.

Uh-huh, we met.

I see you brought
the whole force
with you this time.

What did
I do now?

Hey, Isold.

(William)
There was an accident
in the tunnel.

Is Fred around?

[Thor whimpers]
Isold.

Everything all right?

Yeah, we had
a minor tragedy.

Our cat's missing.

Well, is he around?

Who?

Fred.

Hey, Dad!
Come here!

Yeah.

Hold it.

Don't shoot.
Don't shoot.

I'm unarmed.

(Fred)
This a raid?
What's going on?

(Russle)
Hey, Fred.

Hey, man.

What the hell
was that?

Got a new car?

Taking it out
for a spin.

(Isold)
Fred, the police here
wanted to ask you a question.

(Fred)
Well, all right.
Shoot.

What happened?

Oh, yeah, I, uh,
just got silly drunk
last night.

We better get going.

Don't you have
a Malibu?

Why, you want one?

Yeah.
Can I see it?

Yeah. Sure.
Come on.

She's a little love,
but, uh,
here's your Malibu.

What's going on?

What really happened
to you last night?

Oh, nothing.

Just got drunk,
fell on my face.

(Isold)
Honey, what
are you doing?

Let's get you
cleaned up.

[ Paul Rosenkrans sings
Ain't No Sunshine]

¶ Ain't no sunshine
when she's gone ¶

¶ It's not warm
when she's away ¶

(male announcer)
What would happen
to your loved ones

if you died?

¶ Ain't no sunshine
when she's gone ¶

¶ She's always
gone too long ¶

Would they be protected?

¶ Every time
she goes away ¶

(male announcer)
Why gamble
on tomorrow?

Quality Life.

Your future
is in our hands.

Here you go.
It's all
in the up and up.

Fred and Isold
are legally married.

(William)
Like I told you.

(Russle)
What do you
want it for?

It's for my files.

Why'd you make Isold
think you were a cop?

When I tell
people that I'm
an insurance investigator

they slam
the door in my face
and call their lawyer.

Investigator?
Aren't you guys called
loss adjusters?

We're concerned
with the bottom line
just like...

any other business.

Why don't you put that
in your commercials, then?

People with dead relatives
being cheated out of their--

what do you call it--
death benefits?

Well, Fred looked
pretty much alive
to me.

(Abe)
Yeah.

Hey, Josie.

Hey, Rusty.

Can I get
a receipt, please?

Sure.

Loss adjuster.

[wind howling]

Check under the bed.

He's all gone.

No monster.

The night light.

Can you tell me
a story?

What kind
of story?

A ghost story.

No, you'll be up
all night.

Then I can help you
carry Fred to bed.

You're such a brat.

What'd you say
about me?

(Thor)
Nothing.

Uh-huh.

Night, dude.

Ah.

I want you
to tell me
a story.

Me?

All right.

Let's see, hmm,

once upon a time
there was a man
and a woman,

and they were old
and poor.

I want a story
about rich people.

Okay.
Once upon a time,

there was a filthy
rich millionaire,

and his
cheap-looking bimbo.

[general laughter]

All right,
all right.

Once upon a time,
there was a king
and a queen,

and they lived
in a big castle.

Did they have
a horse?

Mm-hmm.

They had
a little horse named...

(both)
Lightning.

[howling of wind]

(Josie)
On the house.

Oh, no,
I don't, uh--

So...how long
you stayin'?

I'm leaving tomorrow.

In the morning?

Yeah, can't stay
long this time.

This time.

Honey, once you leave
Hastings, you ain't
never comin' back.

So...

how's the big
case going?

Oh...it's, uh...

it's, it's going
all right.

[Al Hirt and Ann-Margret
sing It's Cold Outside]

You're friends
with Isold, right?

Sure.

And Kelvin,
you're friends
with him, too?

¶ (Ann-Margret from jukebox)
I really can't stay ¶

¶ (Al Hirt from jukebox)
But baby,
It's cold outside ¶

¶ I've got to go away ¶

¶ Yeah, but baby,
It's cold outside ¶

¶ This evening has been ¶

¶ Been hoping
That you'd drop in ¶

¶ So very nice ¶

¶ I'll hold your hands ¶

¶ They're just
Like ice ¶

¶ My mother
Will start to worry ¶

¶ Beautiful,
What's your hurry ¶

¶ My father will be pacing
The floor ¶

¶ Listen to
That fireplace roaring ¶

¶ So, really,
I should scurry ¶

What about Fred?

Who?

Fred, you know Fred.

Oh, Fred.
He treats her okay.

That's not what
I'm sayin'.

(Josie)
How'd a guy like that
end up with Isold.

Up here
we gotta take
what we can get.

(Josie sings along)
What's in this drink

No cabs to be had
Out there

I wish I knew how

(Abe)
The night of the accident,
anything strange happen?

Nothing happens
around here.

I'll take your hat,
Your hair looks swell

I ought to say no,
No, no, sir

Mind if I move in
A little closer

I don't, uh--

Come on.

I don't, uh--

You can dance.

No, but--

Everyone can dance.

[slow music]

Hey, I simply must go

Yeah, but it's cold
Out there

(Fred)
Ah! Shit.

Come on!

She giving you
problems?

Oh, hey.
You're back, huh?

Say, you were
at the bar the other night,
weren't you?

[straining]
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.

You see anything?

You sure do ask
a lot of questions.

You're still here?

Yeah, still tying up
some loose ends.

Ever find out
who was in the car?

As a matter
of fact, we think
it might be Kelvin.

Kelvin?

Yeah.

Your brother.

What was he doing
in Hastings?

You're sure
it was Kelvin?

You were expecting him?

Expecting him?

First place the cops
would look, huh?

Had to be kinda
stupid to hang out

at his sister's farm,
don't you think?

Like driving around
in your old Malibu

with your driver's license
in the glove box...
and you're an escaped con.

[engine doesn't start]

Where's Thor?

[engine starts]

I don't know.

Excuse me,
I gotta find him.

Thor!

Thor!!

(Isold)
Thor!

Thor!!

Hurry up, sweetie!
Come on!

I think
you better leave.

All right, then.

What's that?

What's what?

What's MVC stand for?

Oh, this old thing.

It's, uh,

Mid Valley Central.
Yeah, go Bulldogs.

All right, then.

[music]

Where you going
with the boy?

[sighs]

I can't believe
this is happening again.

Uh-huh.
Come on.

(Isold)
Come on.

(Frank)
Those cops called.

Man, were they pissed.

(Abe)
Tell Weaver I'm gonna need
a couple of extra days.

He wants you back, Abe.
Today.

Tell--tell--tell him
my car broke down.

Your car?

Yeah, that--they--they
said it'd be done
by tomorrow.

You gotta do something
about that stutter, man.

It gives you away
every time.

Look, if you want
to milk your per diem,
that's your business,

but you can't go
around joyriding
on the company's time.

I think
I'm on to something.

I can feel it.

All right.
I'll go to bat
for you.

Come back
with something big

or this adventure
is out of your own pocket.

(Fred)
Now look,
let me explain.

I don't want to hear it
right now.

Isold, sorry,
all right?

For what?
Making us hide out
like fucking rats?

I feel like I'm stuck
in a mud flat.

Ah, fuck.

Look, it--
it was an accident,
all right?

Why Kelvin, then?

I just took advantage
of the situation.

I've heard that before.

We can finally get out
of this backward-ass town!

Go ahead,
keep running.

You're goddamn right
I'll keep running,
'cause it's shit here!

It's shit, Isold!
Squattin' here...

trying to squeeze
every last drop
outta this frozen land?

It's like we're...

waiting for the weeds
to grow over our own
goddamn graves!

If you hate it so much,
then why the fuck
don't you stay away!

And take Thor
with me?

Huh?

Look at you.

Mother-fucking-Teresa
all of a sudden.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Let us not forget
how you got these.

[school bell rings]

[chattering]

[female voice]
Quiet in the corridors
and no running!

May I help you,
young man?

Are you looking
for a student of ours?

A former student.

Uh-uh-uh.

(boy)
Sorry, Ma'am.

Who, might I ask,
are you looking for?

Freddy McBride.

McBride?

Do you mean
Frederick McBride?

Yeah!
You remember him?

I'm sorry,
who did you say
you were again?

We don't tend to discuss
the private records
of our students

with perfect strangers,
I'm sure you understand.

Well, don't worry,
I'm--I'm--I'm family.

Family?

Yeah, yeah,
I'm--I'm--I'm--

I'm his brother-in-law.

Oh, really?

Frederick McBride.

What was
your name again?

My name?

Yeah.

Oh.

Kelvin.
Kelvin Anderson.

Kelvin Anderson?

Yeah.
Fred's married
to my sister, Isold.

So, Frederick McBride
is married to your sister?

Yeah.

Anderson.

Anderson.

Well.

Kelvin Anderson.

Welcome back
to Mid Valley Central.

(female voice)
You from up North?

(Abe)
Yeah.
How could you tell?

We don't get
too many outsiders
round these parts.

You a cop?

Martha,
tell me, how long
you been workin' here?

Since I was about 15.

You must know
lots of folks
around here.

I reckon I've served
the entire town
once or twice.

Do you know
the McBrides?

Sylvia McBride?

Yeah. Sylvia.
You know her?

Why you lookin'
for Sylvia, officer?

No, no,
I'm not a cop.

See, I'm--I'm--I'm
with the State
Assessment's office.

It seems we owe her
some money.

We overcharged her
on some property taxes
years back

but it's tough,
I haven't been able
to locate her.

That's 'cause
she don't live here
no more.

You wouldn't happen to know
whereabouts she went,
would you?

No.

Maybe you can tell me
where she used to live.

I'm sure
I could track her
down that way.

How much money
did you say it was?

Oh, it's a lot.

It's--it's--it's a lot.

She used to live
on Route 12.

About 15 miles
past the junction.

You got
a street address?

Honey, there ain't
no street signs out there.

[Mugison sings
Murr Murr]

¶ I try to do it quietly ¶

¶ Not a whisper,
More like a shock ¶

¶ I try to
Disorganize neatly ¶

¶ What to keep
And...what to block ¶

[crackling of fire]

Are you
a McBride?

No. You?

No.

I don't reckon you belong
around here neither.

Do you know
where I can find
the McBrides?

Follow me.

[song continues]

Don't let
the fire get you.

I'm just killing
some weeds.

¶ I wait for the moment
To call ¶

¶ Or will I hesitate ¶

I'm trying to get something
to grow around here.

I guess
it's a waste of time.

[whistles to dog]

[dog barks]

(Abe)
Daniel McBride.

Sometimes, it's just time
to pick up and move.

[piano music]

Oh, Jesus.

Frederick McBride.

(Isold)
All right, all right.

You poison
my food?

With what?
Methane gas?

Goddamn it, Kelvin!

Why don't you just
light him up a doobie?

It's Fred.

My name is Fred.

(Abe, over phone)
Hello?

Frank, I got a favor
I need from you.

I need you to look
into something for me.

Okay.

I want you to find out
if Kelvin had any kids.

What for? I told you Isold
is the only name
on the claim form.

Just do it,
I need this.

Okay, I'll stop
by the records.

Frank...

Find out
who the mother is.

The mother?

I need to know.

Isold!

You done?

(Thor)
Sorry.

(Fred)
We did it!
High five.

[Fred laughs happily]

Hang on here.

(Abe)
And how is
Frederick McBride today?

Surviving.

Is Isold home?

Yeah, she's inside.

I need to talk
to her.

Back again.

Yeah.

I'm afraid I need you
to identify Kelvin's body.

I was...just...
fixing Thor a snack.

Come on in.

Is this you
and Kelvin?

That's us.

He took
real good care of me.

(Fred)
Come on, buddy,
get inside.

You hungry?

(Fred)
Let's get you
a sandwich.

Let's sit down.

(Isold)
Everyone else
said he was crazy.

He got into fights
all the time.

One day
he tied a firecracker
to the back of a cat

and set it loose
in our classroom.

[chuckles]

The teacher
sent him home.

Said he was
sick in the head.

When did you
see him last?

[scraping]

Yeah, when was that?

William and Russle...

they're meeting us
at the morgue.

We better get going
if we want to beat
the storm.

Sure, just
let me get Thor.

(Fred)
It's not a good idea

to take the boy
on the road
in this kind of weather.

What do you say,
little man?

You wanna stay here
with me and finish building
the snowman?

Yeah, Daddy.

No, no,
he'll be fine.

I'll put him to bed
with a good story.

I'm gonna wait outside.

That's a nice one.

Yeah.

What the hell
am I supposed to do now?

Just identify the body,
and Kelvin's history.

Don't bring Thor
into this mess.

Sweet-talk him,
would you?

Do what you do best.

You still know
how to--

flirt with a man,
don't you?

What are you now?
My fucking pimp?

[Thor giggles]

[chuckles]

Hey, Thor!

Ahhh!

[both chuckle happily]

Swim like a fish!

Where's William and Russle?

Uh...they'll be along.

It's here.

[Isold gasps]

That could be anybody.

It could...couldn't it?

He didn't die
on impact.

Do you know
what it's like
to burn to death?

First the fat oozes
out of you.

It starts poppin' and
bubblin' like a hot dog
on a barbecue.

Then your eyes--
they crack...like glass.

Your skin burns off
layer by layer until...

the fire hits bone.

And that's
not the worst of it.

It's the smell.

Your hair singes...

but you can't reach
for your head

'cause your hands
are gone.

Imagine what it's like
to smell yourself die.

What's going on
in here?

Nothing.

I--I--I was just--

bringing her by
to ID the body.

That's our job,
son.

Well, who is he,
then?

It's him.

I guess things
are gonna be different
now, aren't they?

Why?
What do you mean?

The money.

What money?

The million dollars,
Kelvin's life
insurance policy.

As you probably know,
you're the sole beneficiary
to that.

Who's that?

Ta, ta, ta...

(Fred)
Thor!

Let's go, buddy.

Come on!

Come on.

Let's go.

Let's go, Isold,
I gotcha.

(Fred)
Come on.
Get in the back.

[phone rings]

[rings]

Come on!
Answer the goddamn phone!

I'm sure they're okay.
The line's probably down.

[phone rings]

[phone ringing]

[slow music]

(Isold)
You never notice your mistakes
when you're making them.

Then it all catches up to you
when a kid comes along.

(Abe)
I wouldn't know
about that.

You don't have kids?

No.
I haven't had
that kind of luck.

Luck.

Yeah, I guess
you could call it that.

Thor asked me
the other day,

"Why is God in Heaven
and the Devil
in the ground?

Heaven's so far away."

What'd you say?

I told him
it's easier to lie down
than it is to fly.

Don't be embarrassed.

I'm not.

I'm ashamed
of how I got him.

[music]

[panting]

(Isold)
Kelvin!

[knocking]

Kelvin!

[angrily]
Damn it,
where are you?!

Thor!

Thor!

(Male announcer)
What would happen
to your loved ones

if you died?

Would they be protected?

[phone ringing]

[phone rings]

[phone rings]

[moans]

[ringing]

Hello?

Kelvin, is that you?

Where's Thor?

Thor's fine.

Jesus Christ, Kelvin,
what the fuck
are you doing?

Calm down, Isold.

Don't tell me
to calm down!

You went too far.

It was an accident, okay?

You killed somebody.

And you're a millionaire,
motherfucker!

You're sole beneficiary.

Just go
and get the money

and Thor and I
will be waiting
for you, okay?

Will you let me
talk to him?

It's for you.

(Thor)
Hi.

It's me, sweetie.

I'm eating
a milkshake.

For breakfast?

You're a naughty boy.

See?
Everything's fine.

Now, listen, they have
14 days to pay you

once you file
the death certificate,
so I suggest--

I can't believe
you went this far!

Listen, listen,
go and play your part.

Don't say that,
this is murder!

Just dumb luck.

What the fuck
are you talking about?!

Who's body is
down at the morgue?!

Just some drifter
I ran into
at Josie's.

Just one last con,
Isold.

Just one last con.

[music]

This is gonna
kill us, Kelvin.

[car honks horn]

[tires screeching]

[screams with pain]

Nyah!

[scream]

[loud dripping]

I'm here to see Abe Holt.

Please.
Come in.

Right. Isold.

All right, then,
you're here to collect
the death benefit.

Yeah.

I'm afraid I have
some bad news.

There was
a no-fault clause
in the policy.

What?

What's going on here?

May I draw your attention
to the highlighted section.

As you can see,
it clearly states

that the death
must be a no-fault death.

"No-fault"?

An accident, like
if the policy holder

was run over by a car.

What, like crashing
into a tunnel
isn't enough?

That depends.

Depends?

That was--that was--
that was--

before--before we got
the blood tests back.

It seems that, um...

the policy holder...

was driving
under the influence
of alcohol.

A DUI.

He was drunk?

Well, blood tests
don't lie.

I know...

it's difficult.

Fifteen hundred dollars?

That's the bluebook
on the Malibu.

I'm afraid that's the best
I can do for you.

I need that money.

I'm sorry...Isold.

We're just--just--just

trying to run
a business here.
You know?

Yeah, I wonder
what my lawyer's
gonna say about this.

Would you like
to use my phone?

To call your lawyer?

Thor.
He's--

He's--

Kelvin's son.

I know that.

I need you
to sign this document
in order to take the check.

(Frank)
Blood test
on a charcoaled corpse.

That was brilliant.

The house
always wins,
right, Abe?

Isold!

Wait!

What's all this crap
about blood tests!
The body was fried!

I just saved you there.

Insurance fraud
is one thing.

Accessory to murder,
that's another.

I haven't reported
that Kelvin's alive,
but there is no money.

He's got Thor!

He took Thor?

I need that money!

(Abe)
Get me Mike Connor over
at Central Savings and Loan.

Mike...it's Abe Holt,
over at Quality Life.

I need you to put
a hold on a check
for me 'till tomorrow.

Check number QLI 3245.

(Mike)
Okay, I got it.

[beep]

Just a minute,
please.

Is there a problem?

I'm sorry,
there has been
a hold placed on this check.

You'll just have
to come back tomorrow.

(Teller)
14, 20, 40, 60, 80...

fifteen hundred dollars.

And I need to open
up a safety deposit box.

Come on.
Let's get out of here, yeah?

Come on.

OK, honey,
let's get your clothes on.

What the fuck?
What is this?

It's the bluebook
on the Malibu.

Where the fuck
is the rest of it?

Central Savings and Loan.
Go and get it yourself.

Oh.

Come on.

We're gonna go home,
sweetie, okay? Yeah.

Where are you
taking my son?

Your son?
You mean Kelvin's son,
don't you?

I'm Kelvin's sister,
I'm next of kin.

What are you
talking about?

You're dead, remember?

Thor belongs
to me now.

Wait, wait!

[shouts]

Wait, wait, wait!

Is that why you went
through it all?

Changing my ID,
marriage...

No, that was to get
the cops off your back.

Anyway, it was
your stupid idea.

Your forged
the marriage papers.

Do you think
I'm stupid?

Do you?

No!

I hope
you're not bluffing.

Wait, wait, wait!

Please don't take Thor
away from me!

Come on,
little man.

Say goodbye!

(Thor)
No, Daddy!

Okay, get inside.

(Isold)
Wait!

(Abe)
Let the boy go.

(Kelvin)
Fuck!

You went too far.

Taking a boy
from his mother.

His mother?

No, that bitch ran away
years ago, man.

Didn't she?

Isold's not his mother.

She's my fucking sister,
all right?

She's just looking
after him.

I know that.
But she's
still the mother.

Let your son go.

Let him go, Kelvin.

Get out of the car,
kid, come on.

Go on.

(Abe)
Nice and easy,
nice and easy.

I want you to get
out of the car
so we can talk.

Nice and easy.

Don't shoot.

Don't shoot.

Stop the car.

(Abe)
Stop the car now.

You shoot me,
we both go down,
all right?

But you let me go...

I'll split
the money with you.
A million dollars.

There is no money.
I switched
the insurance policies.

What do you mean?

I insured
Frederick McBride.

You can't insure
a dead man.

You brought him
back to life.

William and Russle
will ID your body
as Frederick McBride.

For them,
Kelvin's dead.

So if I shoot, Isold collects
a million dollars
over a dead husband.

Or give yourself up,
and as far as I'm concerned,
that poor sap is Fred McBride--

I got you,
you and Isold
are millionaires?

The House has to pay out
every once in a while,

otherwise people
will stop gambling.

Well, it looks like
I'm pretty fucked!

Stop! Stop!
Stop the car!

(Frank)
It's tragic.

One of our own involved
in your husband's death.

I don't get it.

Well,

as usual, we did
a background search.

He came up
absolutely clean.

Not even
a parking ticket.

It seems
Frederick McBride
was a saint.

You can't imagine.

One million dollars.

This will settle things
as we agreed.

[music]

(Thor)
Where's Daddy?

Shhh.
Go to sleep, buddy.

I can't.

Want me to sing
to you?

Okay.

¶ [singing]
Little trip to Heaven
On the wings of your love ¶

¶ Banana moon
Is shining in the sky ¶

¶ I feel like I'm in Heaven
When you're with me ¶

¶ I know that I'm in Heaven
When you smile ¶

[music from TV commercial]

Little Trip to Heaven] ¶

¶ And I don't have to take
No trip to outerspace ¶

¶ All I have to do
Is look at your face ¶

¶ Before I know it,
I'm in orbit around you ¶

¶ I'm thanking my lucky stars
That I found you ¶

¶ When I see
Your constellation ¶

¶ You're my inspiration ¶

¶ It's you ¶

¶ You're my north star ¶

¶ When I'm lost
And feeling blue ¶

Through the clouds ¶

Know it's true ¶

¶ Honey, all the other stars
Seem dim around you ¶

That I found you ¶

Your smiling face ¶

Your place, it's you ¶

And wait ¶

To come ¶

There ain't no plain ¶

Free from pain ¶

Blessing me ¶

Saves me from ¶
