Hank: when i was still just a kid,
I remember my father telling me
What he thought that it took for a man to be happy.
Tommy, finally. Come on, man.
New year's is tonight.
I'm sorry i'm late.
Don't worry. I covered for you.
Thanks, hank.
What, did you stay out
Till they hung the last dog?
Yeah. Ha!
Hank: simple things, really...
A wife he loves,
A decent job,
Friends and neighbors who like and respect him.
And for a while there,
Without hardly even realizing it,
I had all that.
I was a happy man.
Hey, tom.
Remember we talked about me getting off early today?
Man: hey, hank!
Hey, happy new year, schmitt!
Hey, linda, happy new year.
Happy new year.
Hey, where you guys going?
Sledding! Sledding!
Hey, can i come?
No! No!
Ohh...please! Ohh!
Hey, carl.
Hey, happy new year, hank.
You gotta start charging people for that.
Ha ha ha!
Yeah, it'd pay better than the county does.
[Whistling o tannenbaum]
Honey, it's me.
How you feelin' today?
Hey. Good.
Oh, my gosh.
He was sure kickin' a lot today.
[Car horn honking insistently]
Uh-Oh... [honking]
Looks like it's gonna be a long afternoon for you.
He brought lou along.
Oh, great.
Yeah. I'll just be lyin' here, relaxing.
Oh... ha ha ha!
[Spirit in the sky playing on radio]
Hey, jacob!
Ha ha ha!
What's he doing here?
He needed a ride home.
Little out of the way, isn't it?
We can drop him off when we're done.
You know? It's no big deal, hank.
What's the big deal, hank?
Hey, you know, you need to shovel this shit
Off of your, uh... whatchacallit deal there.
I'll pay you a quarter to do it.
Huh! I could use it.
Ha ha! Look at lou.
Here, hold this, will you?
Wanna put it back there?
No, no, it's gonna wilt.
Hank, say hi to--
You didn't say hi to mary beth.
Oh, yeah. Hi, mary beth.
He said hi, mary beth.
Hank said hi. Hi, lou.
Come here.
Somebody else was here.
Oh, i brought those.
When?
Well...what the hell do you think, hank?
This is the only day we can come here?
What the hell's wrong with you?
Hey, jacob! Look!
I'm writing my name!
Hang on a second!
Let me get mrs. Johnson out here!
I'll help you out.
[Chuckling]
[Panicked clucking]
Lou: you know what the guy says?
Jacob: says it's the crock pot--
Or, uh, crock box?
No, no. Pay attention now--
Oh, no, that's the preacher, see?
This is the cowboy.
Yeah. He says "moo."
No, no. It's the guy standing by the road.
He says, "why, officer, it's just a pine apple."
Ha ha ha! Ha ha!
You get it? Yeah.
Well, mr. Accountant doesn't get it.
Ha ha ha ha...
Look out!
Shit!
You ok, baby?
Go on, get out!
[Arf arf]
Look at that, man!
My truck.
Come on, get out.
Mary beth!
She's gonna come back.
Hey, what are you doing?
It's a nature preserve. You know that.
So what?
So you can't hunt here.
Come on, put the gun back.
But it--But it messed up my truck.
So what? Come on.
Hey, hey, hank...
It's not like we're huntin' here.
Uh-Uh. We're collectin' the dead.
That's right.
We're collecting the dead.
[Indistinct talking]
[Laughter]
Just look at him...
He runs like my wife.
Hey, come on, wait up!
Come on, i'm not dressed for this shit!
[Indistinct talking and laughter]
Mary beth!
Jesus! Look at all them birds.
Those things are always waitin' on something to die
So they can eat it, right?
What a weird job.
Wish we had something to drink.
Always be prepared.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Let's all start drinking now.
See there? See how he is?
Wonk! Dit-Dit... like that guy, huh?
Remember? Wonk! Dit-Dit.
Uh-Huh.
You want some?
I'm not thirsty.
What, you don't drink
Till after 5:00?
After 5:00, heh heh.
Or maybe you just don't wanna share.
You're afraid you'll catch something
From us, huh?
[Sotto] yeah.
Hey, hank.
Hey! Come on, what are you doing?
Quit jackin' around.
Now, you see...
That's what you might call
An insinuating throw. Remember?
You said that to me last time i saw you.
Coulda just said "hint," but no.
You had to put on airs,
Show us all them fancy words you know.
What, do you sit around, you think about this stuff?
When was that, 2 months ago?
Kiss my ass.
[Clunk]
What the hell is it?
Jesus christ.
Shit, that's a airplane.
Jacob: you know what,
It's probably one of those drunk doctors.
They're always crashing their plane, you know?
Lou: yeah, it must've come down right there.
See all them broken trees, jake?
It's too dark. I can't see.
Scrape some of that snow off the windshield.
Lou:...can't see a damn thing.
Door's stuck.
Jacob: probably a singer or something.
Lou: still can't see nothin' here.
Still can't see anything.
Can't see a damn thing.
I see the pilot!
What's he talking about?
Said somebody's in there.
Are you ok?
Hey. Hey, buddy...
Aah! Whoaaa...
Ah! Aah! Aah!
Hey, get--Get off!
[Crows squawking]
Lou: what the hell is going on..?
Aah! Ohh!
Oh, god!
Shit!
Hey, lemme outta here.
Good grief, hank.
Let me get this off of him. Here...
Hank, did you-- Did you--
Did you see--Did you see all them birds?
Did i see the birds?
Come on, help me get outta here.
Hank, put that on your eye.
Thanks.
You tore your coat, you know.
Oh, my god...
Oh, my god! Look at this!
Shit!
Oh, my god!
How much you think is in here?
God almighty! These are $100 bills!
The whole bag's full of 'em!
Is this--Is it ha ha! Real money, lou?
Oh, hell, yes, it's real.
Don't be stupid.
Why would somebody be flying around
With this kind of cash?
You know what? I bet it's drug money.
That's probably i bet you're what it is. Right.
This guy's a dope dealer
Because that's what they do.
They fly around in these little planes.
I guaran-Damn- Tee you. This is dirty money.
That's right.
I saw it on 20/20.
"Dirty money"? What do you mean?
Are you telling me it's counterfeit?
Oh, no. No, no, no.
No, this is real.
Whatever it is, it's a police matter now.
What do you think we should do?
Somebody should stay here,
Somebody should go after the cops?
How you wanna what? Work it?
Let's think this through.
What? Hold on!
What if we didn't turn it in?
You wanna keep it?
Ha ha ha! He wants to keep it.
Well, that's a hot one.
Why wouldn't we?
Yeah.
Because we'd go to prison. Why?
Why? Because it's stealing.
Stealing. Stealing from who?
From him? Hell, he won't mind.
Heh heh...
Oh, 'cause he's dead, right? Ha ha ha!
Ha ha! That's pretty funny--
He's dead. He won't mind.
I say we take this bag back to the truck,
And we pretend like we were never here.
Fuck yeah. Why not?
Why not? Because we'd get caught.
Aw, hell! I'll tell you what.
Stay the hell out of it then.
You know, we don't need you.
It'd just be more money for us.
Hey, i don't wanna stump you another fancy word, lou,
But does the term "accomplice" mean anything to you?
Come on. That's stupid.
But, hank, why would we get caught?
Because it's a lot of money.
Somebody's bound to be looking for it.
When they find that plane
And the money's not in it,
They'll come bullshit! Looking for us. Bullshit!
This is dirty money!
And as far as that guy's concerned,
The cops don't even know he exists.
Nobody knows about this...
But us. See there?
Nobody knows but us.
It's like we came out here on a hike,
And found lost treasure. Right?
It's the american dream in a goddamn gym bag.
He--He just wants to walk away from it.
You work for the american dream.
You don't steal it.
Then this is even better.
If this guy's a dope dealer,
Then--Like we're talkin' about--
Then that means we're like robin hood.
Oh, yeah, and i'll tell you what.
You got a beautiful wife at home.
You're about to have a baby.
I know you ain't pullin' down that much
At the feed mill.
Wouldn't you love to have a piece of this?
Hell, yes, i would, but we can't just take it.
Hey, what if there's a reward?
Maybe there's a reward, and they'll give--
Maybe there's not!
How about this. I tell you what.
I'll bet you $10,000--
Just one of these packets--
That when they find this plane,
There's no mention of this money.
Hank, why-- Why turn it in
Until we know whether or not
Somebody's lookin' for it?
That's right.
If you scratch, then don't--Don't itch.
If you--If it's--
If it's broken, don't fix it. Right?
Or if you--If--If-- If the--If--If--If--
And i know what you mean.
[Caw caw]
Suppose i was the one to keep it?
For how long?
Just till spring, till they find the plane.
Then what?
Then, if you're right and nobody mentions the money,
We split it up, and we all leave town.
Why should you get to hold it?
That's the only way i'll do it.
Otherwise we can just turn it in right now.
So, what, you mean-- You--You--
You don't trust us? Is that what you mean?
That's a lot of money. I guess i don't.
Look, no--No promises. If somebody comes searching
For the money, i'll burn it.
I'll burn it, listen, and that's it. Hank...
No. That's the only way i'll do this!
Look, we gotta be agreed on this.
That's the deal. That's the deal.
I hold onto it, we wait till they find the plane.
If nobody mentions it,
We split it up, and we move away.
Ok?
I'm in.
We count it first.
That's probably a good idea.
I mean, you know...
Heh heh heh...
Heh heh... heh heh...
This is nuts.
Oh, my god...
Hey, what you gonna buy, jakey boy?
I'm gonna buy me a truck.
No. Fuck that.
Get something classy.
Trans-Am.
Oh, yeah, in my wildest fuckin' dreams, a trans-Am.
You could buy a fleet of trans-Ams.
Mary beth! Mary beth!
Where the hell have you been?
Where you been, huh?
There's shoes for baby, ha ha!
Lou:...4,350,000,
4,360,000... 4,370,000...
4,380,000...
4,390,000...
$4,400,000!
Isn't that great? Listen to that.
Look at that shit, man. Look how square it is.
That is cool, huh?
How much is that apiece?
About a million and a...
A million and what? Shh!
A million and a half? What?
Shh! You hear that?
Uh-Uh.
Oh, shit.
Get in the truck. I'll handle this.
Shit. Go on!
Hank: let's go!
Come on, cover up the money!
Jake, get in the truck!
Dummy up. Let's go!
Come on!
Hey, carl.
Engine trouble, hank?
Oh, i wish. Dog trouble.
Jacob's mutt chased a fox into the woods.
She tree it?
We thought so, but just when we went after it,
She came running back.
Ah.
What'd you do to your head there?
Oh. God, uh...
Heh. Ran into a tree branch.
Your brother still out of work?
Yeah.
Lou?
Yeah, him, too.
That's a shame, ain't it?
Well, we probably better be heading back--
Hey, hello, jacob!
Hey, carl, how you doin'?
Good, good.
I was beginning to think
You were trying to avoid me.
I'm sorry?
Well, you sittin' over there in that truck.
I thought you was trying to avoid me.
No. Just sittin' in the truck.
It's a little cold out here, you know.
Just keepin' warm.
Well, we probably better be--
Did you tell him about the plane?
It sou-Sounded like a plane.
What plane?
What, you heard a plane?
Uh...i don't know what he heard.
You know he's always hearing shit.
Maybe you better tell me, jacob.
No, that's ok.
We're gonna get on home.
All right.
Come on, man.
It's new year's! Let's get outta here.
Jacob: call me, carl.
Happy new year.
Sure you don't need any help?
No, we're all set.
Thanks. All right.
Goddamn it!
I've seen you do some pretty stupid things, jacob,
But that pretty much takes the cake!
It was my idea.
Oh, well, that's brilliant, lou.
Now when they find the plane,
And they realize the money's gone,
They'll know right off who took it.
Well, that's--
That's what's cool about it, though.
I mean, we wouldn't tell somebody
If we were the ones that did it.
It's not like he said
That you actually saw a plane going down.
Just you thought you might've heard one
With engine trouble.
You want me to burn the money?!
I am not going to prison over this!
If it looks like there's even the slightest chance
Of us getting caught,
I swear to god, it's all gonna vanish!
You understand?
"It was a pine apple."
Hee hee hee hee hee...
[Groaning] oh, god... this is gonna be fun.
Woman: where the hell have you been?!
You come when i'm always finished.
I'm finished, you asshole!
Hey, nancy!
Don't-- Don't hit--
Don't hit mary beth.
[Low] remember, nobody knows about this.
That includes nancy.
She'll have to find out about it sooner or later.
She'll wonder where all the money's coming from.
2 hours late!
Ow! Stop it!
Tell her when we decide it's safe to keep it,
But not before then.
Then the same goes for sarah.
Of course.
[Thunk]
Damn it!
Nancy: come on!
You promised to shovel the walk,
You lazy son of a bitch!
Calm down, baby.
I got a good reason for being late. What?
See you, lou!
[Indistinct arguing]
You know, i bet he's telling her.
That guy can't keep a secret.
Hey, honey.
Hey.
Where you been?
I was starting to get worried about you.
Sorry i'm late.
Oh, that's all right.
Hey.
What happened to your head?
It's ok. It's just a scratch.
It's all bloody.
Can i ask you something?
Yeah, sure.
What if you were walking in the woods--
It's not deep.
And you found a bag full of money,
Let's say $4 million...
Would you keep it?
Of course not.
Here, hold that.
How come?
Well, for starters, it'd be stealing.
We were talking about lost money here,
Nobody's looking for it.
$4 million of lost money...
Yeah.
That nobody's yeah. Looking for?
Well, so then whose money is it?
Yours.
Oh.
Ooh.
It's my money?
But whose money was it before?
A bank robber's.
So then it's the bank's money.
All right, it's, uh,
A drug dealer's.
It was--
Hank.
I mean, this is really silly.
Obviously you want me to say something in particular.
I don't know what it is,
But you want me to agree with you
Or say that you're right or something.
But i wouldn't take it.
That's just me. I wouldn't.
It's real.
If we keep it, we never have to worry
About money again.
But we don't have to worry about money now, hank.
You've got a good job.
We don't need it.
Yeah, but nobody gets hurt by us keeping it.
I mean, that's what makes it a crime,
Doesn't it?
Somebody getting hurt?
What makes it a crime
Is that it's against the law.
It doesn't matter if somebody gets hurt
Or if they don't.
If you get caught, you go to jail.
Nobody's gonna get caught.
The money's the only evidence
That we've done anything wrong.
We sit on it, we see what happens.
If somebody comes searching for it,
Then we just burn it and that will be that.
There's no risk.
We'll always be in control.
What about jacob and lou?
As long as we're handling the money
They have to let us call the shots.
It seems...crazy
Just to give it up.
I mean, before we know if anybody's searching for it.
Tv: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
This is it.
It ain't champagne,
But happy new year.
You have to go back and return some of the money.
What?
A lot. Like 500,000.
You see, that way when they find the plane
They'll assume nobody's been there yet.
It'll put us beyond suspicion.
No one would walk away from that much money--
Wait a second.
We're gonna keep the rest?
You'll have to go in the morning
So when it storms later it'll cover your tracks.
You can't tell jacob though.
What, do you think he'd go back and take it?
It's--It's just being careful.
That's what we have to be from now on.
We have to be careful.
We have to be thinking ahead all the time.
Ok. Ok.
Ok.
[Knocking]
Jacob.
[Knocking on door]
Jacob, come on, open up.
Oh.
Hey, i screwed up, i moved the pilot.
Come on, we gotta go put him back like he was.
Come on, i need a lookout.
If somebody comes by,
You pretend you're changing the tire.
You know, that's not gonna work.
What do you mean it's not gonna work?
Nobody's gonna believe that. It's not flat.
You're kinda crafty.
I observe things.
Observe and learn, my friend.
Observe and learn.
[Air hisses]
That's cool.
[Caw]
Jacob, what happened, she die on you?
No, we had a flat. We had a flat tire.
I fixed it. See? The new one's on there now.
I took the other one, the bad one,
And put it in the trunk.
It's back there now, flat as a pancake.
But it's cool now. Everything's all right.
You see that god damned fox come by here about 5 minutes ago
Heading right on down to the woods?
No, i didn't see a fox.
I didn't see any fox.
Well, if you'd been standing where i'm sitting
He'd have bit you on the ass.
[Men arguing]
Jacob: why don't you stay here?
Hey, hank.
Don't do anything stupid.
Don't do it.
No. Don't do it.
Jacob!
Oh.
Oh, god... jesus, jacob,
What the fuck?!
I--I--I--I hit-- I hit the farmer.
He was tracking a fox. I--I-- Dwight.
He was gonna go right by the plane.
I had to do something.
I was just trying to help us out.
Just listen--Listen to his--To his heart
Or something like that.
Come on, man, listen. You gotta do it--You--
He's--He's gonna be ok.
Oh, god, jacob, i think you killed him.
I'm pretty sure he's gonna be ok.
What else was i gonna do?
Oh, god. He's dead.
Oh, hank, that's not right.
No, we could probably-- We could probably do--
We can probably do that cpr deal.
And you know, you could do that, uh,
Cardiac arrest thing, couldn't you?
We could do something. God damn it!
Jacob, what the hell you doing?
God damn it! Stop!
Stop it! Come on!
I'm working cpr.
God damn it, stop it!
Come on! Come on!
Be still.
Let me think.
Ok, we can't panic.
Have any cars gone by?
Uh, cars?
Cars, cars, come on, think.
While i was in the woods, you see any cars go by?
Why, hank?
[Breathing heavily]
Oh, god. Oh.
All right.
We gotta make this look like it was an accident.
Come on. Come on. An accident?
Grab his legs.
Wait, wait, wait. We can't--
Why? We can't do that.
Come on. We can't do that.
What do you mean we can't do it?
Because we're gonna make tracks
And they're gonna see them and follow 'em. Ok.
It's gonna be like a crime scene or something.
We're gonna drive the car back to the bridge.
I'll put him on the snowmobile
And take him through the park.
You gotta get there ahead of me.
So whatever you do, i don't want you to stop.
I want you to just drive on by then circle back.
I don't want people to see you sitting there.
Circle back? That's right.
Come on, come on now.
They're not gonna take me away, are they?
You gotta promise me--
Nobody's gonna take you away, i promise.
But we gotta hurry.
It's gonna be ok, right, hank?
Come on. We gotta go.
You gonna be there, right?
I'm gonna be there. Now just go.
Go.
[Engine starts]
[Moaning]
Dwight?
Dwight.
Your brother.
He hit me.
You call the police.
Get the police.
Jacob, what are you doing?
Come on before anybody sees.
I'm not gonna what? Do this.
Well, it's just stupid.
I mean, if--
See, if we cover it up
It's just gonna be worse anyhow.
So, you know, i'm--I'm just--
Get in the car.
I'm just gonna go and pull him out, you know?
We're just gonna tell everybody the truth.
Just gonna tell 'em about the money
And everything and just say that i--That i--
You're gonna leave tracks.
Wait a minute.
This is my decision.
Mine.
Not yours.
You didn't kill him.
We both did.
What are you talking about, hank?
He was alive when you left.
I smothered him.
I guess that makes it my decision.
It's gonna be ok. I mean, it looked real.
And even if--I mean, let's say it didn't
Look like an accident.
Whatever. I mean...
Why would anyone think of us?
Your tracks lead right to the plane.
But it's gonna snow.
Any minute now, it's gonna start snowing.
Was there any blood?
Blood?
Jacob hit him. Was there blood anywhere?
Did he get blood on anything?
Was there blood on the road or--Or--
I don't remember.
Did you look? I looked,
But i--I just don't-- It was all hap--
Honey, it's gonna snow.
It's gonna snow
And everything's gonna be covered up.
All the tracks--
Shh.
Tv: he was apparently trying to cross
Along this bank of snow
When his snowmobile slipped over the edge
Throwing him into the icy waters of anders creek.
Wright county deputies recovered the body
Shortly before 4:00 this afternoon.
A tragic beginning to this new year
For one local family.
Back to you, paul.
Thanks, tracy.
I wish you hadn't told jacob.
I wish he still thought that he did it.
Does it scare you?
Yeah, it scares me.
What if he tells somebody?
I mean, what i did.
What you did?
Well, i know that you only did it
Because you felt trapped.
That you couldn't find any other way.
Would you have done the same thing?
I mean, if you'd been there instead of me?
I--I--I just need to know if it's possible.
Oh, honey.
You listening to me, hank?
Every monday i come down here, buy 2 bags of feed
Regular as clock work.
2 bags of wheat 4 times a month.
That's 8 bags i'm supposed to be billed for.
I don't know how else to get through to you.
December started on a monday, mr. Schmitt.
So there were 5 mondays in the month.
So you came in here 5--
Are you telling me there were 5 weeks last month?
No, sir, i'm telling you there were 5 mondays.
[Telephone ringing]
Excuse me. I got it.
Yeah.
Jacob: hey, hank, it's me.
Hang on a second.
Listen, check that calendar over there
If you don't believe me, sir.
I need to talk to you.
Well, i'm a little busy right now, jacob.
What is it?
Ok, listen, can you meet me at the farm?
What farm? Our farm.
Look, uh, what is it?
On your lunch break. 12:30, ok?
Hey, are we straight on this, mr. Schmitt?
Thanks for coming in.
Look, i can't drive out there right--
Jacob?
Hey, what are you doing here?
Look out! Ha ha ha ha ha.
What the hell'd you drag me out here for?
Listen to this. I'm gonna buy it back.
I'm gonna fix it up. I'm gonna rebuild it
Just like it was before mom and dad died.
Whoa, whoa. Come on, wait, wait. We've been through all this.
We've been over this.
Once we split up the money, we've gotta leave.
We have to go.
What do you--What do you want me to do,
Just like that, just drive off by myself?
Well, i mean, suppose you stay.
Where are you gonna tell people you got the money?
Oh, that's easy.
We just tell people that sarah
Inherited some money. It's easy.
Nobody around here knows anything about her family.
You guys coulda just bought the farm, you know,
And then left me to run it.
It's not gonna work.
I thought this was gonna make you happy.
Jacob...
Farming? Come on.
You don't just buy a farm. You gotta--You gotta work it.
You gotta know about machinery and seed.
I know that.
No, you don't.
Fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides,
Drainage, irrigation, the weather?
Come on, you don't know about any of that stuff.
You're gonna end up just like dad.
Why do you think he ended up like that?
I'll tell you how he ended up like that.
He had 2 mortgages riding on the place.
He couldn't make the payments.
Where do you think the money went?
He was a bad businessman.
Where do you think the money went?
No, you think he spent it all on the farm?
I'll tell you exactly where the money went.
4 years of college, bud.
Yeah, didn't you ever think about how he paid for that?
Didn't that ever occur to you?
No, my tuition was--
Listen, i'm supposed to get the farm!
What do i get?!
I'm supposed to get the farm.
You got--You got the whole world. You can...
I don't wanna hear that.
You can go anywhere you want.
This is what i want.
This is--This is where i wanna be.
It's my home, hank.
Shit.
Hey, honey.
What?
I wanna show you something.
What is it?
I got this.
I had it sent over from the other branch.
Look. Here it is.
"Heiress's body id'd by feds."
$4.4 million ransom.
You see? This person nobody knows
Has just disappeared right into thin air.
Do you recognize one of them from the plane?
I can't tell.
His face was...
What?
This changes it.
Why is that?
We can't say it isn't stealing anymore.
Well, hank, it's always been stealing.
We just didn't know who we were stealing from.
We thought it was drug money.
We thought it was money that we could find--
No, you thought that.
This is good. I'm glad--
It's good?
Yes, it's good we know where it's from,
Because i was starting to get worried.
I thought that it might be counterfeit or marked.
It might still be marked.
No, it says right here.
Look. Denomination in unmarked bills.
Unmarked.
You see?
You're just being paranoid, hank.
It's over. It's good.
Man: sarah?
Would you come here, please?
Sure. Ok. Just a second.
I'll see you tonight.
[Banging]
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Jesus.
Hey, come on, hank. Open up.
What the hell are you doing?
Hey, mr. Accountant.
Well, i've come to make a tiny withdrawal.
Go home. Turn around and go home right now.
Oh, come on, it's freezing out here, hank.
Shh! Keep it down.
Invite me in.
All right, just for a second.
I don't have time for this shit.
I gotta get up and go to work.
I want my share.
What?
I do. I want my share.
I don't have the money here,
And even if i did, i wouldn't give you any.
Oh, come on, now.
Look, just because you have it
Doesn't mean it's yours. Part of that is my money.
Part of it might be your money...
If we decide to keep it.
The plan was to sit on the money
Till we decide that it's safe to keep it.
Why are you coming over here with this shit?
All right, look.
I'll tell you what.
Just give me one packet, ok?
Just one packet.
And i'll come back later for the rest.
Ask me again, and i'll go burn it tomorrow morning.
Is that clear?
Bluff.
What?
It's a bluff. B-L-U-F-F.
Oh, then why don't you call it then
And just see what happens?
Yeah.
All right. Ok.
See, jacob told me
A little secret, mister accountant.
I know what happened to dwight stephanson.
You drank too much.
I want one of those packets.
Well, i told you, i don't have the money here,
And i hid it away from the house.
Mm-Hmm. Well, you know what?
It'd be a shame if somebody
Was to drop a note to carl jenkins
Saying there might just be
A little something suspicious about
Dwight stephanson's accident.
He just drove off that bridge?
Do you believe that? Do you?!
Come on. Jesus, lou.
Remember, you're a thief, too.
We're all in this together.
If one of us goes to jail, we all do.
Oh, god.
I need my share, hank.
I do.
I'm broke...
And i owe people money.
Christ, lou, i mean wh-Wh...
I need some help here, man.
Ok, just wait here.
Here, here.
$40?
That's all i got.
Maybe i can go to the bank
And get you a loan out of our savings.
Look, look, look.
The money's a day's drive from here.
Even if i wanted go get it, i can't go get it,
Not till sarah has the baby.
A day's drive?!
Yeah, that's right.
I put it in a storage locker above the interstate.
What the hell is it doing in a storage--
Shh! It's safe. Don't worry, all right?
I didn't want it near us
In case we come under any suspicion.
How the hell's that gonna happen?
How's that gonna happen?
How about carl knowing about the plane, huh?
Who's idea was that?
Yeah.
All right.
But we go get it as soon as she's done,
Split it up right there...right?
Yeah.
Hank...
[Baby crying]
[Humming]
Hey. I said whoa.
I'm looking for hank and sarah.
I'm sorry.
Oh, god, look at this.
Jacob: hello.
Do you have a car seat
In the car you'll be traveling home in?
Yes. Yes.
Is it currently installed?
Hello, look who's here
Bearing tidings and gifts and great joy.
Would you sign here?
Sure.
What do you mean "gambling"? Where?
At the casino. He lost some money.
How much?
I don't know how much.
Shh. Hey, congratulations.
Woman: thank you.
Congratulations.
Did you see that little baby?
It looked like a little tomato.
How could you have told him that, huh?
I put myself out for you.
What do you do, you betray me?
What are you talking about?
What am i talking about?
It's like there's 2 sides now.
Why are you both always talking about sides?
There's no sides.
Who's talking about sides?
I'm on both of your sides.
We're all in this together, man.
If you had to pick right now, who'd it be?
No, i don't--Why would i wanna pick?
No, i wanna know-- Me or lou?
Good grief, man. I...
I'd pick you. You're my brother.
I bou--I bought a present for the baby.
Ok--Ok, i--I brought it from the house.
I didn't buy it, but, look, it's--It's kinda cool.
Just trust me on this one.
You're gonna like it, i think,
When you see what it is.
Thanks.
God, it's used.
Let me see that.
Oh, my gosh, this was his when we were kids.
Oh, i guess it's sweet of him then, isn't it?
Buddy the bear.
Here's your little girl.
Oh, good, good, good.
Got her?
She's just about ready for her feeding.
Would you grab that thing?
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Hello, little girl.
Hello.
She's hungry.
I want you to buy
One of those little tape recorders,
You know, the little dictating kind,
The kind you can hide in your pocket?
Why do you want a tape recorder?
You're gonna tape lou confessing
To stephanson's murder.
What? What are you talking about?
[Curtain being drawn]
You and jacob invite him out for drinks.
Get him drunk.
You take him back to his place,
Then you start joking around,
Kidding about confessing to the police.
Each of you take a turn pretending how you'd do it.
You go first, jacob second, and lou last,
And when lou goes, you tape him.
Come on, that's not gonna work.
Jacob helps you. That's the key.
If jacob eggs him on, he'll do it.
Yeah, but even if he, you know,
Even if he talks on the tape, it won't mean anything.
I mean, who's ever gonna believe it?
Well, it doesn't matter as long as lou believes it,
As long as he sees that jacob's taking your side.
That's all you want.
We should at least try, shouldn't we?
We can't lose anything by trying...right?
Hank: come on, it's not like
I'm asking you to do that much.
Here, just pick up the phone and give him a call
And say, "hey, lou, hank suggested
We go out drinking tomorrow night."
Hank suggested we go out drinking?
What are talking about?
Will you let me finish?
We suggest we go out drinking.
You don't ever suggest we go out drinking.
I'm getting to that. Let me finish.
I'm saying, tell him i've agreed to split up the money.
I thought it'd be a good idea for us
To--To go out and celebrate first.
So you want me to trick him?
You want me to trick lou?
You want me to trick my friend?
Ok.
Do you get what's happening here?
Do you understand the seriousness
Of the situation we're in?
He can put us both in jail, jacob.
He's not gonna send us to jail.
Well, i can't take that chance,
Not now, not with the baby.
I can't afford to go to prison, jacob.
I mean, wh-What about sarah, huh?
Wh-What are they gonna do?
I'm gonna have to get rid
Of that christmas tree out of here.
It's too dry. It's gonna start a fire--
Would you--Would you pay attention here?
Pay attention.
I'll think about it.
What would dad do?
Don't do that, please, hank.
Don't you think he'd want us to stick together?
Don't--Don't say that.
I mean, you don't know
What the hell dad would do.
That's fucked up. Don't bring him up.
Well...
What if i was to say
I'd help you get the farm back, huh?
All right,
I'll help you buy back the farm.
But you got to help me first.
You know, all i meant by that about the tree is
It's just dried out,
And it could start a fucking fire.
You know how that stuff goes.
It wasn't like i was trying to ignore you
Or something like that. I was just, you know,
I was talking about practical shit to you
Is all it was.
Hank: yeah, we got that white carpet.
Honey?
Oh. Oh, hey.
Hey, sarah.
Hey, jacob.
I take my shoes off for you there, see?
Thank you.
Oh, uh...
It's a nice shirt.
Ta-Da! Ha ha.
Here, let me do that.
[Whispering] hey, i gotta pee.
Yeah, go ahead.
Hi, baby.
Hey. You brought him here?
Well, yeah. I invited him for dinner.
Oh. Oh! Oh, good.
Good, good.
Ok.
So he's gonna do it?
I had to promise him the farm.
You what? Wait, i thought you said--
We agreed that you were gonna say something.
Where's he supposed to go, sarah, huh?
I mean, what's he gonna do,
Drive away?
I don't know, honey. I don't know,
But if he stays, we get caught.
I know, i know. It's just--
It's just a matter of time before he screws up.
I know. That's not what i'm saying.
I just...
I just wish he could, that's all.
[Laughter] [laughter]
No, no, you remember what she did?
She was so freaked out that she called
The volunteer fire department,
And then, remember, they came out...
Oh, yeah, there was all of dad's buddies--
All his drinkin' buddies.
Yeah, yeah.
That's--That's all the volunteer fire department was,
Was guys he knew, you know?
So they show up--
And he's sitting there in the kitchen
With that ice pack on his face.
That's ridiculous. He felt like an idiot,
'Cause they're all gathered in there
Like there's some huge murder going down, you know?
[Baby cries]
Shh, shh.
[Baby cries]
Ok.
[Baby cries]
Well, back on call.
Hey, how about some more wine?
You got a full glass here.
What's it like, a walkie-Talkie, sarah,
Kind of like a baby walkie-Talkie?
Yeah, yeah. It's kinda cool.
Remember, we had that thing we did
With them little walkie-Talkies?
Oh, yeah.
You got that kit for christmas.
Remember that?
Yeah.
You know, it's weird.
I think--I think about that stuff.
I think it's kinda weird--
You remember everything, too, don't you?
Well, yeah. I was always--
I was always talking to dad.
I know you were.
I was always figuring out what's going on, you know?
I was always nervous about shit, you know, i guess.
But i tell you what, he's a...
