Mr. Quarles, maybe it is time you leave Kentucky.
I got nowhere else to go.
[Someone knocks on the door. Wynn goes to check]
It's some kid.
See what he wants.
Can I help you? (Donovan backs him up with a gun in his hand) Good call.
Yeah. (pause) Oh! There's a young man with a gun in our trailer, Wynn.
Yeah, I noticed.
Did- did you do something to upset him?
I don't even know him.
You and me got a friend in common.
Oh yeah?
Brady Hughes.
Who's Brady Hughes?
...Go ahead. Tell him.
You're friends with Brady?
Friends enough to know that the last time anyone saw him was with you, getting into a car together.
Brady is a beautiful soul.
I don't want to hear your bullshit!
What would you like to hear?
The truth! I want you to admit that you killed him.
But that's not true.
Then where is he?
I don't know.
Yes, you did! You killed him, and I want to hear you say it.
And then you're going to kill me?
Say it!
How old are you, son?
Old enough-
19? 20? I was 14 years old when I killed my first man. I was given a choice: I would do it myself, or they would do it for me.
You took him from me.
...No. I didn't. My father was a heroin addict. (gets up) He wasn't necessarily an evil man, but he couldn't kick his addiction, couldn't hold a job, either. But to feed his addiction, he used the resources at his disposal.
I don't care about your shit!
Luckily for my father, he had a very... pretty little boy. And plenty of men were willing to pay for my company. What is your name?
Donovan.
That's what it was like for me, Donovan, for many years. (approaches Donovan) And then one day, a man named Theo realized what was happening. You see, Theo believed deeply in family, and one afternoon, an associate of Theo's picked me up from school, and we took a ride in his Cadillac to a warehouse. Theo ushered me in, where inside, on his knees, was my father. I was 14 years old, and I remember how it felt... to suddenly be free. You see, Donovan, I understood your friend Brady. I knew him without really knowing him, do you understand?
Then why'd you hurt him?
"Hurt him?" No, son, I never hurt him. I did everything I could to help him. (points Donovan's gun away and hugs him) And then I set him free. I set him free.
