It got worse after that. He'd beat Linda every night and then come to me smelling like sweat and cigarettes. And then she was gone. Packed a bag, Roy said, and left in the wee hours. But he wasn't sad, he said, because he had me and what we had was true love. And then I was his puppet.

I got you.
You don't even have a plan, do you?
God has a plan.
And what is that?
Must be cold living out there in the dark, so let me spell it out for you: you made a promise. To Him, to me. You broke your vow.
You broke my fingers, my collarbone, three ribs. You dislocated my jaw.
I was trying to fix you.
Like a window cleaner pissing on a window.
Please, I can't be here. I'm Scotty's mother. She said ice cream cake for her birthday and I forgot to order it and there's a three day minimum. She just started a new school and the girls are being mean. There's Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is probably the last year she's gonna believe in Santa Claus. And I can't unsee it, her sitting on Santa's lap at the mall and he's asking her, "What do you want for Christmas little girl?" And she's saying, "I want my mommy back." It's not just me. What you're doing, you're doing to them, too. And we're getting kittens next year we decided, and who's gonna be there to teach Scotty how to take care of them? Plus, I am den mother for the Girl Scouts, and I raise money for the library.
Enough.
No! I'm in love. True love. With the most wonderful man. He's my best friend. We went ice skating on our first date. And if you ask him, Wayne will tell you, shepherd's pie is still his favorite food. We just started watching Call the Midwife and there's, like, 13 seasons of that show! So if...if I don't come home...who's gonna remind him to take a Lactaid when he eats cheese?
You made a vow.
I was a child.
Oh, please. You had your hair, you had your menses...
And you had a wife and a son, almost my age, which was 15.
I don't care. You made a mistake when you left me. That means everything after that is a mistake, too.
My daughter is not a mistake.
Fruit of the poison tree. That's a legal way of saying "Two wrongs don't make a right." You belong to me.
Do you know how crazy you sound? The way you see things, your mind. But you believe it's the world that's gone mad. I have to go.
I tell you what, Nadine. I'll promise you - hand to God - I'll promise to let you go just as soon as you beg me to let you stay and mean it.
You want a promise? I'll make you a promise: I'm gonna kill you.
As sheriff, my first priority is the safety of the community. That means preparedness and defense.
RARoy Andrew Tillman
Safety of the community.
RCRoy Chester Tillman
That means preparedness and defense.
RFRoy Floyd Tillman
Preparedness and defense.
Uh, sorry, fellas, I'm still talking here.
RARoy Andrew Tillman
I'm still talking.
RCRoy Chester Tillman
I'm still talking.
RFRoy Floyd Tillman
I'm still talking.
Alright, that's a good joke.
RARoy Andrew Tillman
Good joke.
RCRoy Chester Tillman
Good joke.
RFRoy Floyd Tillman
Good joke.
Cut it out!
RARoy Andrew Tillman
Cut it out.
RCRoy Chester Tillman
Out.
RFRoy Floyd Tillman
Out.
Alright, you know what? This is bullshit.
RARoy Andrew Tillman
Bullshit.
RCRoy Chester Tillman
Bullshit.
RFRoy Floyd Tillman
Bullshit.
I know you don't think they're coming. Consequences. But they're almost here.
My client is prepared to deliver this election to you in exchange for the immediate return of her daughter-in-law. That's a good deal, Roy. It's smart, and you'd be smart to take it while it's still on the table.
Here's a question: if you're so smart...[Roy shoots Danish]...then why are you so dead?
A rabbit screams because a rabbit is caught. Knows only that it wants to live.
Try again in fucking English, bro! [Munch reveals a heated blade] Fuck. Shit! Help! Help! Help! Help!
An old woman watches young men play a game. She drinks.
What?
She drinks because her own son has spit the nipple from his mouth. She bothers no one.
What are you talking-?
Yet you killed her.
I...
Yes. Eye. Your eyes.
No.
As the Bible says, what is taken must be given. This for that.
No...No, wait...
Shh. Quiet, rabbit.
[on phone] Honestly, what's the point of being a billionaire if I can't have somebody killed?
[picking up her ringing phone] Olmstead.
Indira, it's me. It's Dorothy.
[to Lorraine] It's Dorothy.
Bill, I'm gonna have to call you back. [Lorraine hangs up] Let me talk to her. [Lorraine takes Indira's phone] Dorothy?
What?
Where's Danish? Have you seen him?
Killed. Roy killed him.
What was he even doing there?
For me. He came to save me.
Are you safe?
For now, but like a fish on the floor.
Listen to me. An army's coming, I called in some favors. State and federal. You need to get somewhere safe. Hide.
Why?
What do you mean "why"?
Why help now?
Don't get maudlin.
I need to know.
Because this busybody made me.
Oh, please. Nobody can make you do anything. If I don't make it back-
Quiet now. No daughter of mine is going down on the one-yard line. So put your big girl pants on and fight, you hear me?
Thank you.
[Indira takes the phone]
Dorothy, don't get in the fight.
Well, you don't get it, do you? This is the path I'm on. Starts at birth and it ends here. This isn't a trip to Starbucks on the way to the office. This isn't an idea. God cuts our names into bone and that's who we become. He blows His holy trumpet and the walls fall down. You all came here to find Lot's wife, but she's already a pillar of salt and she ain't turning back. So, go and live, or stay and die. It's up to you.
[Munch reveals a blinded Gator to Roy]
A son is unable to comply. He has sold his right to be a man. What disappointment the father must feel.
What's going on with his eyes?
Forfeit. It tells a lot about a man, the words he uses to describe a double cross. We have heard it all. To Welsh. To Gyp. To Jew. As if to steal is a man's lineage, what a man is.
What did you do?
[crying] I'm sorry. You said to let it go, but I couldn't.
When a man gives with one hand and takes with the other, he breaks his promise. He must be taught. The hand he steals with must be cleaved from him and returned. Still a hand, but now without function. Here is your hand.
[Munch pushes Gator into Roy then vanishes]
Daddy...
Quiet.
Daddy, I'm scared.
I said shut up. If there ever was a point to you, it's gone now.
The tiger can come out now. To fight a tiger in a cage is not a fair fight. [Munch helps Dorothy out of the hole and hands back her rifle] Now the tiger is free.
Nadine?
Gator...
Nadine. I'm sorry.
It's OK. It's over now.
[Dot and Gator hug]
Did you really see my mom?
No, hon. I thought I did, but she was just a beautiful angel in a dream.
Would you...come visit me in jail?
With cookies. You still like oatmeal raisin?
I love that color on you.
You know what I'd love to see on you? A noose.
Hey! Watch your mouth, convict.
She wouldn't last five minutes in here, that one. Too many principles. But you? You'd be Queen Shit.
I saw you filed for an appeal. That was a mistake.
Please. That whole thing was rigged, your so-called trial.
You should know I'm the single largest donor to the Federalist Society.
Oh yeah? What do they do? Something with books?
They control the courts, selecting judges all the way up to the Supreme Court with the president's blessing. So, buy a throw pillow is my advice. You're gonna be here a while.
It's funny. Prison is the way the world should be. The natural order. No apology. Men separated by race, races stacked with the strong on top, you fuck the weak, you kill your rivals, sleep with one eye open.
Yes, well, I just came by to say I hope you're settled in because now your real punishment will begin.
My what?
[to Indira] Wait outside, please.
Are you sure?
Oh, we'll be fine, won't we, Roy?
Peachy.
[Indira exits]
You're right. She does have principles. Where was I? Oh, yes, punishment. Did you know that 85% of all prisoners are in debt? Hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, interest accruing, their families put out on the street. Well, I've started a fund to help certain prisoners free themselves from this burden. A private fund. Plus a little fresh cash each month in their commissary accounts. Vaseline, Vienna sausages, that kind of thing.
Which prisoners?
Oh...that one, I think. And him over there with the scars. Oh, and all of the men in cell block D. And B. And A.
Well, that's mighty Christian of you.
Oh, no, this has nothing to do with that book. It's an older text, written on stone tablets in the Age of the Skull Fuckers.
Did Nadine put you up to this?
Please. She's a girl scout. I fight my own battles and you need to pay for what you've taken.
So you want me dead.
No, I want you alive for a very, very long time. But while you live, I want you to feel everything your wives felt. Every blow, each humiliation. Fear.
I'm not afraid of you.
It's not me you need to be afraid of. [Lorraine passes Roy a pack of cigarettes] These might come in handy.
We will finish our engagement now.
I thought we were done. You said.
The debt must be paid. A man's flesh was taken. Now a pound is required in return.
[handing Munch a soda] There you go.
[confused] A man is grateful.
So, are you from, uh, you from around here?
Across the sea, but here a long time. From the age of the carrier pigeon and the 600 tribes. The Arapaho, the Cree, and the Tonkawa. A man comes, never having seen a mountain. He cannot remember the year of his birth. He is paid to soldier. But one night, he wanders from his post, drawn by the songs of the river.
Well, Scotty's grandfather took us to the Vermillion last year. My dad Wink, well, he's a big fly fisherman. Remember that, hon?
I caught a cold.
Yeah. Yeah, she did. It's kind of funny.
[to Munch] Why? Why must debt be paid? I understand keeping a promise, but people always say debt must be paid. Except what if you can't? If you're too poor or you lose your job. Maybe there's a death in the family. Isn't the better thing - the more humane thing - to say the debt should be forgiven? Isn't that who we should be?
Oh, game's on at seven. Probably time to make the biscuits.
You know what? You're right. It's not chili without biscuits.
No.
How about you two go set the table, huh?
Oh, well, I was thinking chopsticks.
For chili?
Come on.
[to Munch] Whatever it is you think you came here for, we're halfway to supper and it's a school night. So either you wash your hands and you help, or we do this another time.
